Published: December 2023

The problems that arose as a result of the rapid spread of the new coronavirus infection COVID-19 and the inability of health care institutions to provide the necessary medical care to a large number of patients in a timely manner showed the need to develop new approaches to diagnosis and the formation of an individual treatment program. Important in this direction is the development and implementation of specialized decision support systems based on the integration of expert systems for the analysis and interpretation of medical data and mathematical modeling tools. In order to form effective treatment programs, it is necessary to ensure the availability of reliable tools for predicting the dynamics of the disease in the conditions of external medical influences, various protection mechanisms, spatial effects, mixed infections etc. The purpose of this work is to generalize the basic model of viral infection to predict the complex controlled influence of adsorption and immune therapy on the development of the disease, taking into account diffusion disturbance and temperature response of the body, which is an important element of specialized decision-making systems for the formation of effective treatment programs. To find the solution of the original model singularly perturbed problem with delays, the procedure of stepwise numerical asymptotic approximation of the solutions of the corresponding specially constructed sequence of problems without delay has been modernized. Based on the obtained results of computer modeling, it was confirmed that the introduction of adsorbents during periods of intensive growth of the number of viral elements makes it possible to sufficiently effectively reduce the rate of their reproduction, and, therefore, provides an additional way of controlling the number of antigens in the body and preventing their supercritical growth. It is emphasized that taking into account the features of the action of adsorption drugs is important for making optimized decisions regarding the use of adsorption therapy
Secrets of memory. Biological and computer parallels
Authors:   Institute Problems of Mathematical Machines and Systems of the NAS of Ukraine, Ukraine, V Yashchenko
Published: December 2023

This article explores one of the most mysterious and multifaceted aspects of human nature - memory. Memory defines the system's ability to learn, adapt, and make informed decisions based on accumulated experience. It plays an important role in solving conceptual and theoretical problems in the field of artificial intelligence and modeling. Learning and adaptation is one of the key aspects where memory models allow AI systems to not only reproduce but also improve their performance based on experience. It is also important to consider memory modeling as preserving the context of past events, which is important for the correct understanding and interpretation of current situations. The article examines the issue of memory location, starting with classical theories explaining the mechanisms of memory location in the brain, including neurophysiology and the theory of conditioned reflexes. However, special attention is paid to alternative approaches, such as the theory of intracellular memory, which offers new ways of understanding memory. Finally, the work draws attention to the connection between learning and memory, especially in the context of the formation of conditioned reflexes. In the process of considering the neuron as a key element of the nervous system and studying protein synthesis and polyribosomes, a surprising similarity between the process of protein synthesis in neurons and the functioning of the Turing machine was revealed. In the context of this analogy, a neuron can be perceived as a molecular computer, providing a new level of understanding of memory formation and information processing in the brain. The author hopes that this research will help to better understand the nature of human memory and enrich our knowledge about how the brain works

In paper we offer a report on the results of the comparative analysis of existing concepts of the functioning and development of Smart Logistic. In paper shown that at present ITS is the most developed concept for the implementation of Smart Logistic and, in its essence, approaches the essence of the CPS concept as intelligent automatic (or close to automatic) control systems for physical objects and processes of various nature. Within the framework of the CPS concept, through test studies using various AI methods (GA, ESA, AA and ACAmod), it was determined that the most effective method for optimizing the route of freight traffic is ACAmod, which allows dynamic routing of logistics flows in real time, taking into account the non-stationary dynamics of TF. One of the promising areas for further research, the authors consider the creation of an intelligent system for supporting decisions on transport and logistics management of freight traffic in real time taking into account the influence of external factors of various nature on the transportation processes. The creation of such a system should be based on a modern interpretation of the concept of ITS as a CPS for Smart Logistics. In addition, in this report within the concept of the Cyber-Physical Systems are show the results of determining of the most effective method for optimizing of logistics flows in real time, taking into account the non-stationary dynamics of traffic flows

Authors:   Baltrobotics Sp.z.o.o., Poland, S Kornieiev
Published: December 2023

For the last half of the century there were proposed and modeled several dozen cognitive architectures as the models of mind. As one of the results of this Standard Model of the Mind was proposed and discussed in 2017 (now known also as “Common Model of Cognition”). It accumulated lessons learned in one structure. In the articles published in 2016-2018, the author formulated main definitions of the concepts of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): AGI-Individual Type, AGI-Collective Type, AGI-Consciousness, AGI-Thought, AGI-Knowledge, AGI-Emotions. The author’s approach belongs to the direction Embodied Cognition in Cognitive Science and is following named “axiomatic approach” in Artificial Intelligence. The definitions proposed by the author are of constructive type from mathematical point of view and can be modeled by the existing software & hardware tools and methods. In this article the author is proposing AGI-Agent cognitive architecture AGICA as detailed modification of Standard Model of the Mind. It can be used in the development of universal operating system for AGI-robots

Published: December 2023

The paper considered the processes of planning and deployment of robot movement by developing an approach to creating a system based on neural networks. A system is proposed that can perceive the environment and controls the movement of the robot by generating correct control commands. For this purpose, 3 tasks were solved, namely, the analysis of the environment in order to determine its features, the determination of the trajectory in order to neutralize the collision, and the determination of controlled influences for the executive bodies in order to implement the movement. The functionality and structure of the neural network for solving each of the tasks is proposed. The proposed approach is compared with existing approaches on key parameters, such as the execution time of the planned movement and the time of calculating the movement trajectory

Based on the analysis of literature data from the experimentally constructed phase diagrams of CeO2—Ln2O3 systems (Ln = Tb—Lu), as well as the temperatures of polymorphic transformations of oxides of rare earth elements (REEs), approximate phase diagrams of the indicated system were constructed in the entire range of temperatures and concentrations. Cerium dioxide crystallizes in the cubic type of fluorite crystal lattice and has no polymorphic transformations in the entire temperature range until melting at 2400 ºC. The solubility based on CeO2 is higher than based on other lanthanide oxides. The components of the systems show complete solubility below solidus with the formation of solid solutions with a structure of the fluorite-type F. The appearance below the solidus regions of solid solutions based on polymorphic modifications of lanthanide oxides H, A, B and C with different width leads to the formation of cascades of peritectoid transformations. During the transition in the Tb—Lu series, their temperatures gradually increase, which is associated with an increase in the temperatures of polymorphic transformations of Tb—Lu oxides. Hypothetical phase diagrams of the CeO2—Ln2O3 series (Ln = Tb—Lu, Y) with adjustments according to such regularities of interaction during the transition from Tb to Lu. Experimental verification of the phase diagrams structure of the considered systems is possible when conducting experiments using increased pressures of oxygen-containing media, or by thermodynamic calculations. Keywords: REE oxides, Y2O3, CeO2, polymorphic transformation of REE, phase diagrams.

Wetting of infrared-transparent materials — selenide and sulfide zinc, germanium, and silicon by metal melts in a vacuum in a wide temperature range was studied by the sessile drop method using the method of capillary purification of the drop melt during the experiment. Pure metals In, Sn, Pb, Al, Fe, Ni, binary Al—Si, Ge—Si, In—Cu and multicomponent In—Sn—Cu—Ti alloys were used. When zinc chalcogenides are wetted with In—Sn—Cu—Ti melts, zinc selenide is wetted better than zinc sulfide. This is due to the lower thermodynamic stability of selenide. In systems where copper is present in melts, wetting is affected not only by the interaction of selenium or sulfur with titanium, but also by the interaction of copper and zinc (in the copper-zinc system, solid solutions of copper and zinc are formed and copper dissolves in solid zinc). This conclusion also confirms the wetting of the substrate by the In—Cu melt. The values of the contact angle at 650 C are equal to 32, which is less than for the In—Sn—Ti melt at the same temperature. It can be said that for such a system, the interaction of zinc with copper is very important, which is not inferior to the wetting effect of the interaction of chalcogens with titanium. The wetting of single crystals of germanium and silicon by metal melts improves with increasing temperature. Iron and nickel wet silicon (contact angles close to zero) at temperatures lower than their melting point. Contact melting also occurs when silicon substrates are wetted with aluminum melts (the eutectic in the Al—Si system has a temperature of 577 °C). Germanium is better wetted by tin than by indium and lead. Technological processes of soldering infrared transparent materials with metals were developed and soldered joints were obtained. Keywords: infrared transparent materials, polycrystalline zinc selenide and sulfide, single crystals of germanium and silicon, wetting, soldering.

Subject and Purpose. The present study is concerned with the linearly polarized electromagnetic wave transmission through a chiral metasurface composed of periodically assembled square dielectric helices. We expect that the metasurface of the kind has a wider range of functional capabilities to transform a polarized wave into a cross-polarized one when compared to a similar metasurface composed of metal helices. Methods and Methodology. To find the scattering coefficients of the considered structure, the well-established method of integral functionals is followed. A set of volume integral equations in the vectorial form is solved for the equivalent electric and magnetic polarization currents of the analyzed periodic layer. A distinctive feature of the method is that the internal electromagnetic fields of the structure are initially found, whence the fields scattered by this structure are sought. The equations are discretized in terms of integral functionals related to the polarization currents and through the use of the double Floquet–Fourier series expansion technique. Results. It has been found that the metasurface transmission coefficients depend critically on the number of bars making the square helical particle. In the case of an even bar number, the chiral metasurface exhibits the same transmission coefficients for co- polarized field components in the event that linearly x- and y-polarized waves are incident. For cross-polarized field components, the transmission coefficients differ and can reach peak values at different frequencies. Finally, transmission coefficients of these polarizers have been investigated versus dimensions of helice-making bars. Conclusion. A wide variety of transmission properties observed in the metasurfaces make them particularly attractive for use in polarization converting and separating devices. The metasurface can feature dichroic asymmetric transmission and be used as a dichroic filter with polarization transformation. It can be put to use in differential phase sections and, also, as an effective dichroic cross-polarization converter (twist polarizer)

Subject and Purpose.Without regard to successes attained in the field of monitoring of territorial formations frontier areas and environment the problem of territorial waters guard and control of economic zone is as well as before actual for many states, that have the prolonged marine boundary. The aim of researches is an improvement of method of ecologically safe exposure of surface objects beyond the radiohorizon and development of ecologically safe meter wavelength radar for the guard of territorial waters with the use of active floating radio buoy. Methods and Methodology.Taking into account ecological requirements to the radiotechnical equipment and feature of beyond the horizon radio wave propagation the bistatic radar for surface objects exposure beyond the radiohorizon was proposed. One of the system features is the use of active radio buoy located on considerable distance from a shoreline. To estimate the system operationthe methods of analysis and numerical modelling are used. Results. Having conducted the analysis of basic mechanisms of radio wave propagation beyond the radiohorizon and existed experimental data, the necessary power features of proposed meter wavelength bistatic radar is calculated. For practical realization of this system the algorithms for finding the distance to the surface object and its speed are brought in details. The functional diagrams for both coastal and radio buoy receivers are worked out. Detailed description of their operation is given. Conclusion. The ecologically safe impulsively-coherent radar system is proposed, its transmission device is set on radio buoy beyond the radiohorizon, The radar true coherence is obtained due to the use of continuous signal of driving generator transmitter, that is irradiated in a period between sounding impulses and after a reception and treatment in the receiver serves as a reference signal, the coherenceinterval exceeds the period of pulse-repetition considerably. The use of speed difference of surface objects to be located and wind waves that create radar clutter will allow to carry out the radar exposure of surface objects on a background of marine surface clutter.
Physical and Pharmacologic Restraint in Hospitalized Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Calabrese Mary Elizabeth , Sideridis Georgios , Weitzman Carol
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVES

Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have high rates of cooccurring conditions and are hospitalized longer and more frequently than children without ASD. Little is known about use of involuntary physical or pharmacologic restraint in hospitalized children with ASD. This study compares use of restraint because of violent or self-injurious behavior during inpatient pediatric hospitalization in children with ASD compared with typical peers.

METHODS

This retrospective cohort study examines electronic health records of all children aged 5 to 21 years admitted to a pediatric medical unit at a large urban hospital between October 2016 and October 2021. Billing diagnoses from inpatient encounters identified ASD and cooccurring diagnoses. Clinical orders identified physical and pharmacologic restraint. Propensity score matching ensured equivalency between ASD and matched non-ASD groups on demographic factors. Logistic regression determined the odds of restraint in children with ASD compared with children without ASD, controlling for hospitalization factors and cooccurring diagnoses.

RESULTS

Of 21 275 hospitalized children, 367 (1.7%) experienced restraint and 1187 (5.6%) had ASD. After adjusting for reason for admission, length of stay, and cooccurring mental health, developmental, and behavioral disorders, children with ASD were significantly more likely to be restrained than children without ASD (odds ratio 2.3, 95% confidence interval 1.6–3.4; P < .001).

CONCLUSIONS

Hospitalized children with ASD have significantly higher odds of restraint for violent or self-injurious behavior compared with children without ASD after accounting for reason for admission, length of hospitalization and cooccurring diagnoses. Work is needed to modify the hospital environment for children with ASD to reduce behavioral dysregulation and restraint.

AbstractThis paper aims to investigate relationships among nine institutional quality dimensions in order to identify the effect of each quality dimension on the others in an institutional evaluation. The relationships between 9 quality dimensions in 78 institutional evaluations are explored quantitatively using the Pearson correlation matrix. The results show that teaching quality dimensions are interrelated, as are research dimensions, suggesting a clear separation between the teaching and research characteristics of institutions, nationally. However, the analysis points out that full-time faculty adequacy is a good predictor of quality of both teaching and research. Findings of this study contribute to the evaluation of the institutional teaching and research nexus as well as to the discussion on the role of peer review in external quality evaluation schemes.Key words: full-time faculty adequacy; quality assurance; peer review; higher education, teaching, research---SažetakCilj je rada istražiti odnose između devet institucijskih dimenzija kvalitete kako bi se utvrdio međusobni utjecaj svake od njih.

AbstractEducation plays a key role in the development of human civilisation. Learning and teaching methods are still evolving and undergoing numerous changes as a result of scientific knowledge and revolutionary ideas of stakeholders in the education system, and the development of advanced technologies. We are all familiar with traditional ways of learning wherein educational process is conducted in such a way that the focus is primarily on content. Jan Amos Komensky, the alpha and omega of education science, laid out the class-subject-lesson traditional education system and designed, as early as the 17th century, the school as an institution capable of meeting the mass educational demands of the time. Because these traditional methods use repetition and memorisation of information as the principal means of acquiring knowledge, students are unable to develop their critical thinking, problem-solving and decision-making skills. In the 21st century, teaching should be focused on the effective cooperation between teachers and students who are actively participating in the teaching process, because such an approach ensures the training of innovative individuals who go on to become qualified professionals and responsible citizens, thus creating a more affluent and safer society in general. This paper provides an overview of the important characteristics of modern schools, as well as some modern teaching strategies. Keywords: modern teaching strategies, quality of teaching, teaching--- SažetakObrazovanje ima ključnu ulogu u razvoju ljudske civilizacije. Metode učenja i poučavanja još uvijek se neprestano razvijaju i prolaze kroz brojne promjene zahvaljujući znanstvenim spoznajama, revolucionarnim idejama osoba uključenih u obrazovni sustav kao i razvoju naprednih tehnologija. Svi smo dobro upoznati s tradicionalnim načinima učenja u kojima se obrazovanje provodi tako da je fokus usmjeren na sadržaj. Jan Amos Komensky, alfa i omega pedagoške znanosti, tvorac razredno-predmetno-satnoga tradicionalnog sustava obrazovanja, već je u 17. stoljeću osmislio školu kao instituciju primjerenu zahtjevima tadašnjega vremena za masovnim obrazovanjem. Budući da te tradicionalne metode koriste ponavljanje i pamćenje informacija kao temeljni način stjecanja znanja, učenici ne razvijaju svoje kritičko razmišljanje, vještine rješavanja problema i donošenja odluka. Nastava u 21. stoljeću treba biti usmjerena na učinkovitu suradnju nastavnika i učenika koji su aktivno uključeni u nastavni proces jer takav pristup osigurava osposobljavanje inovativnih pojedinaca koji postaju kvalitetni stručnjaci i odgovorni građani te na takav način stvaraju bogatije i sigurnije društvo u cjelini.

Hybridite generique et posture chez Nora Sari dans Constantine, l´exil et la guerre
Authors: Logbi Hanène
Published: December 2023

Dans cet article, nous avons voulu montrer que l’hybridité générique perçue et avérée dans le texte de Nora Sari était un effet des enjeux de diverses tendances du contexte de production dans le choix du sujet à traiter, d’une part la vie de la famille et le récit de soi du principal personnage du roman, d’autre part le contexte historique prévalant durant la période concernant cette tranche de vie. Cette hybridité révèle un souci de posture en phase avec les discours et orientations du champ social et littéraire au sein duquel la romancière cherche à inscrire sa place. Elle montre également une volonté de dépasser un clivage profond installé dans la problématique des langues dans ce même champ.

Introduction and objective: This study evaluated the impact of day-to-day air pollutants, such as particulate matter PM2.5, PM10, nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and ozone (O3) on the development on asthma and allergy in preschool children. Materials and methods: A total of 284 5-year-old children participated in the study. The questionnaires were completed by the caregivers. For each child, the visit involved skin prick testing and the distribution of backpacks containing GilAir Plus Basic personal aspirators for 24-hour measurement of PM2.5 and PM10. The dust samples were analysed in the laboratory. Air pollutants in the place of residence have been assessed for 5 years using the CALMET/CALPUFF modelling system. Results: Significantly higher levels of PM2.5 (as measured by personal aspirators), 2015 PM2.5 [µg/m3] and 2015 PM10 [µg/m3] were observed in the allergy group in comparison to the no-allergy group. 2018 and 2019 ozone levels differentiated the analysed groups. In multivariate analysis, passive smoking was associated with a 3-fold increase in the risk of allergy (odds ratio – OR = 2.76, 95% confidence interval – 95% CI [1.21;6.53], p = 0.017). Among the analysed pollutants, 2017 PM10 [µg/m3] increased the odds of allergy with the highest strength. An increase in its concentration by 1 µg/m3 resulted in 14% higher odds of allergy (OR = 1.14, 95% CI [1.02;1.28], p = 0.021). Among the assessed pollutants, 2017 ozone increased the odds of asthma, with an increase in its concentration by 1 unit resulting in 41% higher odds (OR = 1.41, 95% CI [1.02;2.04], p = 0.049). Conclusions: Exposure to PM2.5, PM10 and ozone seem to increase the overall risk of allergy and asthma. Passive smoking showed the strongest correlation with an increase in the risk of allergy.

Authors: Kowalska Aleksandra , Muzalewska Ewa , Kobusińska Katarzyna , Lewicka Marta , Kurylak Andrzej
Published: December 2023

Introduction and objective: During the COVID-19 pandemic, a range of uncommon cutaneous symptoms were observed, which were linked to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. These dermatological symptoms in the form of reddish or purple-coloured lesions on the fingers and toes, accompanied by blisters and ulcerations, were termed as “COVID fingers/toes” – a pseudo-chilblain cutaneous manifestation of COVID-19. The aetiopathogenesis of pseudo-chilblain lesions has not been conclusively determined. At first, SARS-CoV-2 infection was regarded as an evident cause of chilblains. Various studies conducted over a two-year period have not managed to plausibly confirm its direct implications. Materials and methods: The study was of a retrospective nature. The analysis involved clinical symptoms, results of selected laboratory tests, as well as capillaroscopy of the microcirculation in 15 children diagnosed with skin lesions of chilblain-like morphology. Results: All patients from the study population presented with lesions in distal body parts which were of erythematous or oedematous morphology, and resembled chilblains. None of the hospitalised patients suffered from fever or presented with other systemic symptoms. The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test for SARS-CoV-2 was negative in all the patients. SARS-CoV-2 antibodies were found in 5 out of 9 patients tested for their presence. Microcirculation abnormalities were diagnosed in 80% of the patients. In none of the children did capillaroscopy image correspond with microangiopathy characteristic of inflammatory connective tissue diseases. Frequent abnormalities found in more than two fingers/toes were: pericapillary oedema (57%), dilated capillaries (42.8%), venous stasis (35.7%), presence of branched and tortuous capillaries (28.5%). Conclusions: Pseudo-chilblain lesions observed during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic are probably secondary to multifactorial epiphenomenon.
„Ej, ráérünk arra még?” – Az időperspektíva, az ökobűntudat, a megküzdés, a jövőre vonatkozó tervek és a környezettudatos cselekvés közötti összefüggések vizsgálata magyar serdülők körében

Háttér és célkitűzések: A környezettudatos viselkedést számos tényező befolyásolhatja, köztük egyes, a klímaváltozással kapcsolatos érzelmek (például az ökobűntudat) és a klímaváltozással mint stresszorral való megküzdési módok, valamint az időperspektíva. Korábbi kutatások alapján az ökobűntudat, a jövőfókuszú időperspektíva, valamint a probléma- és jelentésfókuszú megküzdés inkább facilitáló hatású, bár az eredmények esetenként ellentmondásosak vagy hiányosak. A jelenlegi kutatásban ezért komplex modellekben vizsgáltuk, hogy a környezettudatos viselkedést milyen mértékben képes bejósolni az ökobűntudat, a megküzdési módok és az időperspektívák, és hogy a megküzdési módok mediálják-e az ökobűntudat és a környezettudatos viselkedés közötti kapcsolatot. Módszer: A keresztmetszeti kérdőíves kutatásban részt vevő diákok (N = 390, 48,5% fiú, átlagos életkor = 17,2 év, szórás = 1,2) kitöltötték az Ökobűntudat Kérdőív rövid verzióját, a Klímaváltozás Veszélyeivel Való Megküzdés Kérdőívet, a Zimbardo-féle Időperspektíva Kérdőívet, illetve válaszoltak a környezettudatos viselkedésre irányuló kérdésekre. Eredmények: A problémafókuszú és a társas megküzdés pozitív összefüggést mutatott a környezettudatos viselkedéssel. Az ökobűntudat és a cselekvés között gyenge pozitív együttjárás mutatkozott, amely azonban eltűnt a mediációs modellben: a magasabb ökobűntudat a magasabb problémafókuszú megküzdésen keresztül függött össze az erőteljesebb környezettudatos viselkedéssel. A környezettudatos viselkedéssel gyenge pozitív összefüggést mutatott a jövőperspektíva, valamint a múlt-pozitív időorientáció. Következtetések: Az eredmények alapján az ökobűntudat környezettudatos cselekvésre ösztönző lehetséges hatása azon múlik, hogy milyen megküzdési módot képes aktiválni. A környezettudatos cselekvésre vonatkozó intervenciók tervezésekor érdemes lehet a társas és problémafókuszú megküzdés és a jövőperspektíva erősítésére fókuszálni, valamint a pozitív múltbeli élményekre építeni.
Dual-energy CT in the emergency department: A pictorial essay from a single center experience

Published: December 2023

Learning Objectives

To provide a pictorial review of the main clinical applications of DECT with a focus on traumatic and non-traumatic emergencies.

Methods

DECT is becoming increasingly common in clinical practice. The differences in attenuation between two different datasets allow to perform a qualitative and quantitative characterization of the materials contained in a single voxel. Virtual monoenergetic images, material decomposition images, electron density maps, and atomic number maps are created by post-processing algorithms and offer the radiologist useful diagnostic data.

Results

We present a series of cases illustrating the utility of DECT in the diagnosis and management of acute pathologies, with a special focus on musculoskeletal imaging and neuroimaging.

Conclusion

DECT is a useful imaging technique that may allow radiologists to make quicker and more precise diagnoses in the emergency setting.

Published: December 2023

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo identificar como se estruturou o conhecimento na produção acadêmica, entre 2008 e 2020, a respeito da autoavaliação institucional nos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia. Para isso, realizou-se uma revisão de literatura sistematizada a respeito da temática, visando compreender o conhecimento a respeito da autoavaliação institucional, no âmbito da educação superior, profissional e tecnológica. Como resultados, verificamos que são parcos os estudos meta-avaliativos na área, que o interesse pela temática antecede a criação dos Institutos Federais e que os estudos focam, principalmente, na relação da autoavaliação com os processos de gestão e planejamento das IES e na atuação das CPAs.

Published: December 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar as produções acadêmicas acerca do currículo da Educação Profissional integrada de nível médio e apresentar um panorama das pesquisas na referida área. Para tanto, utilizou-se como metodologia o estado da arte, seguindo a perspectiva de análise de conteúdo proposto por Bardin (2011), com auxílio do software Iramuteq. Os resultados apontaram o currículo como campo de pesquisa ainda em desenvolvimento e com necessidade de aprofundamento. Há preocupação em analisar a implantação e materialização das políticas curriculares destinadas à EP nas escolas, em virtude da ausência de conceptualização e dos pressupostos teóricos que os subjazem ao currículo. Entretanto, as estratégias didáticas despontam em prol da efetivação do curriculo integrado.

Published: December 2023

A presente pesquisa tem como foco central mapear as produções científicas que versam sobre formação docente no contexto da Educação Profissional (EP), tendo como fonte de análise dissertações publicadas pelo Programa de Pós-graduação do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte (PPGEP/IFRN), no período de 2015 a 2022, para, assim, auxiliar teoricamente os estudos e pesquisas subsequentes sobre a temática. Nessa perspectiva, foram analisadas vinte e seis dissertações coletadas no site do PPGEP com o aporte do Repositório Institucional do IFRN. A análise considerou a dimensão histórica das políticas educacionais formativas, bem como os direcionamentos à temática, ancorando-se em uma pesquisa com instrumentação bibliográfica e documental, mediante uma abordagem de caráter qualitativo que dialoga com o método quanti-qualitativo na compreensão dos dados. Os resultados apontam, dentre outros, a preocupação com a endogenia acadêmica, que se configura fator limitante na produção científica; as barreiras na implementação do Ensino Médio Integrado (EMI); a falta de formação pedagógica para profissionais não licenciados que ingressam na docência; os efeitos formativos do Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID); a lenta evolução das políticas de formação de professores para a EP; a falta de identidade docente em instituições como o IFRN; a mudança de foco nas reuniões pedagógicas do IFRN; e a necessidade de uma formação inclusiva para pessoas com deficiência na EP.
