Authors: Meng Luo , Tang Ru Zhi , Wang li Li , Li hua Shao
Published: November 2019

Objective: The chief aim of this paper is to explore the characteristics of medical treatment for NCMS inpatients in the central district of the southern city, and identify the main problems, so as to give some suggestions on the promotion of linkage mechanism between medical insurance and hierarchical medical system in the southern city. Methods: Hospitalization person-times and expenses were analyzed using the medical insurance inpatients who have settled in the NCMS information management system in the central district of the sourthen city from 2013 to 2015. Results: Among pieces of data, there were identical 5 system diseases hospitalized both in local and non-local medical institutions from 2013 to 2015: respiratory system diseases, malignant neoplasms, digestive system diseases, genitourinary system diseases, and circulatory system diseases, which also ranked top 5. In the hospitalization ratio of the top 5 systemic diseases in 2015, the respiratory system accounted for the largest proportion of 95.65%, and malignant neoplasms inpatients occupied the largest proportion who hospitalized in non-local medical institutions(36.27%). The proportion of inpatients with genitourinary system diseases hospitalized in non-local medical institutions was higher(10.32%), and the cost was lower(21.44%), compared with that of inpatients with digestive system diseases and circulatory system diseases. We chose the 3 repesentive system diseases to analyze diseases structure: there were 4 diseases of respiratory system diseases, 7 diseases of malignant neoplasms, 3 diseases of genitourinary system diseases both hospitalized in local and non-local medical institutions.Conclusions: All the preliminary results threw light on some defects in the process of medical treatment, which was rationality of choice and direction of diagnosis and treatment. The problem may be caused by included inpatients' incorrect medical concepts, unstandardized diagnosis and treatment behaviours, imperfect medical insurance reimbursement policy, and no adequate capacity to treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Under the background of deepening medical reform, the city municipal government needs to further increase the publicity of medical reform and make decisions to adapt to the changes in policy environment, for the medical insurance linkage mechanism with hierarchical medical system.

Published: November 2019

Medical products transportation has become an important research topic requiring multidisciplinary collaboration among experts in medicine, engineering and health economics. Current modes of transportation are unable to overcome the limited settings in the event of obstetric emergencies. The drone is an immensely promising medical products aerial transportation (MedART) that holds an enormous potential for delivery of medical supplies, thereby enhancing the efficiency of our healthcare system. We conducted a systematic review to examine scientific evidence of positive impact of drone transportation on maternal health and management of obstetric cases.Methods Three search engines were used for this review; ScienceDirect, Pubmed, EMBASE databases, and the report made in accordance with the principles of PRISMA guidelines. The search terms used are related to drones and obstetric/maternal. Studies were selected if the intervention used were drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), and if any direct or indirect maternal health indicators were reported.Results Two out of 244 publications met the inclusion criteria and were included for systematic synthesis. An updated search yielded one additional study that was also included. Overall, two studies assessed drones for blood products delivery, and one study used drone to transport blood samples.Conclusion A significant deficiency was found in the number of reported studies analyzing mode of medical products transportation and adaptation of drones in maternal healthcare. Future drone research framework should focus on maternal healthcare-specific drone applications in order to reap benefits in this area.

Published: November 2019

Children under-five are most vulnerable and bear the adverse effects of Malaria worldwide. In Kenya, 20% of all deaths in children are due to malaria, and 88.9% of all deaths among HIV positive children are malaria related. Correct and consistence ITN utilization is proven to protect against anopheles mosquito bites hence Malaria, however, despite free distribution of ITN to the study population and civic education on proper ITN use, the prevalence of Malaria is still high in this cohort. Therefore, there was an indelible need to establish the levels of household ITN ownership and utilization vis-à-vis demographic characteristics of participants and Malaria attacks among households with HIV positive children in Kimilili. Method: This was a community based study conducted between March and August, 2016 through a cross-sectional survey. The under-five children were recruited randomly at the comprehensive care centre in Kimilili Sub-County Referral Hospital and studied at their households; they were consented through their parents/caretakers. Data on demographic variables, ITN usage and Malaria attacks were collected using questionnaires and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists, percentages and chi square. Results: The ownership of ITN among the 222 study participants was 98%. The study established that there was poor (88.7%) household utilization of Insecticide Treated Nets. we further established that among poor ITN users, malaria attacks were high – 65.3%. Conclusion: Utilization of ITN at household level was poor; to the extent that it could not contribute to reduction of malaria associated morbidity and mortality. Efforts should be targeted at households to ensure correct utilization of ITN

Published: November 2019

Background Drug-induced liver injury(DILI) is difficult in diagnose, criteria used now are mostly based on history review. We tried to evaluate the value of these criteria and histopathology features in DILI to perform a method diagnosing DILI more definitely.Methods We enrolled 458 consecutive hospitalized DILI patients from 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2018, using Roussel-Uclaf Causality Assessment Method(RUCAM), Maria&Victorino scale (M&V) and Digestive Disease Week-Japan criterion(DDW-J) to perform the evaluation. A refined pathological scale was calculated and combined with those criteria using logistic regression analysis. Area under receiver operating characteristics(AUROC) were used to estimate diagnostic accuracy.Results The AUROC of the three clinical diagnostic criteria were 0.730 (95%CI:0.667-0.793), 0.793(95%CI:0.740-0.847) and 0.764(95%CI:0.702-0.826) respectively. The AUROC of the refined pathological scale combined with the three criteria were 0.843(95%CI:0.747-0.914), 0.907(95%CI:0.822-0.960) and 0.881(95%CI:0.790-0.942) respectively. In hepatocellular type, the AUROCs were 0.894(95%CI:0.787-0.959), 0.960(95%CI:0.857-0.994) and 0.940(95%CI:0.847-0.985); In cholestatic type, the AUROCs were 0.750(95%CI:0.466-0.931), 0.500(95%CI:0.239-0.761) and 0.500(95%CI:0.239-0.761); In mixed type, the AUROCs were 0.786(95%CI: 0.524-0.943), 0.869(95%CI:0.619-0.981) and 0.762(95%CI: 0.498 -0.930).Conclusion Combined with pathological scale can significantly improve the accuracy of clinical diagnostic criteria, no matter in alone or combined condition, M&V might be more accurate in diagnosing DILI from suspected patients.

Authors: Chang Lisha , An Zhaowang , Zhang Jiang , Zhou Fuling , Wang Dali , Liu Jian , Zhang Yunhe
Published: November 2019

Background: Cerebral ischemia is the most prevalent form of clinical stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can modulate excitability of the cerebral cortex, and this effect is maintained after the stimulation is terminated. However, the underlying mechanisms of rTMS in cerebral ischemia remain unclear. Methods: Herein, we identified the effect of rTMS on cerebral ischemia and further explored the underlying mechanisms. An in vitro model was established using primary cultured neurons under conditions of oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD), followed by 1 Hz or 10 Hz rTMS treatment. The levels of CREB, PKA and CaMKIV were depleted in neurons to explore the underlying regulatory mechanisms of TrkB by rTMS via CREB. A rat model of cerebral ischemia was established by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) and the rats were treated with 1 Hz or 10 Hz rTMS to investigate the effect of rTMS on neurobehavior, CREB expression, and cAMP/PKA and Ca 2+ /CaMKIV pathways. Results: rTMS was observed to promote nerve recovery ability in rats with cerebral ischemia, which was accompanied by high expression of TrkB. In OGD-treated neurons, rTMS activated CREB by upregulating cAMP/PKA and Ca 2+ /CaMKIV pathways. Moreover, rTMS induced the activation of CREB to upregulate TrkB. In MCAO rats, rTMS increased the CREB expression, enhanced cAMP, PKA and CaMKIV phosphorylation, and promoted the binding of CREB to TrkB. Conclusions: Taken together, rTMS upregulated CREB and TrkB to improve neurological function in rats with cerebral ischemia by activating cAMP/PKA and Ca 2+ /CaMKIV pathways, which could be of great significance for cerebral ischemia therapy.

Published: November 2019

Background We aimed to evaluate the etiologies of constipation in adolescents and adult patients with anorectal malformations with colon transit time and high resolution anorectal manometry Methods We included twenty-five patients from the Odense university hospital in Denmark. Written and verbal informed consent was obtained. Patients were subjected to colon transit time examination and high resolution anorectal manometry. Presence of constipation was diagnosed based on the Rome IV criteria. Questionnaires regarding functional bowel outcome and severity of constipation were filled in. Results The median age was 18(14-24) and 48% (12/25) were females. Fifty-two % (13/25) of patients were diagnosed with constipation. Most frequent type of anorectal malformation was anocutaneous fistula (9/25), vestibular fistula (8/25) and urethral bulbar fistula (4/25). No difference in neither total colon transit time nor segmental colon transit times were found based on the presence of constipation. Constipated patients and patients without constipation were equal on manometric parameters. Only four of the constipated patients fulfilled criteria for dyssynergic defecation with dyssynergic defecation pattern and prolonged colon transit time. A Type I dyssynergic pattern was dominant in constipated patients as it was detected in 54% (7/13). Dyssynergic defecation pattern was due to isolated contraction of puborectalis muscle in 69% (9/13) of constipated patients. Conclusions We found a dyssynergic defecation pattern during attempted defecation in patients with anorectal malformations disregarded the presence of constipation. In the majority of constipated patients an isolated contraction of the puborectalis muscle was visualized with high resolution anorectal manometry. Trial registration: Clinical.Trials.gov. (NCT02624232).

Published: November 2019

Background

Mobile health (mHealth) video interventions are often transferred across settings. Although the outcomes of these transferred interventions are frequently published, the process of adapting such videos is less described, particularly within and across lower-income contexts. This study fills a gap in the literature by outlining experiences and priorities adapting a suite of South African maternal nutrition videos to the context of rural Burkina Faso.

Objective

The objective of this study was to determine the key components in adapting a suite of maternal nutrition mHealth videos across settings.

Methods

Guided by the principles of human-centered design, this qualitative study included 10 focus group discussions, 30 in-depth interviews, and 30 observations. We first used focus group discussions to capture insights on local nutrition and impressions of the original (South African) videos. After making rapid adjustments based on these focus group discussions, we used additional methods (focus group discussions, in-depth interviews, and observations) to identify challenges, essential video refinements, and preferences in terms of content delivery. All data were collected in French or Dioula, recorded, transcribed, and translated as necessary into French before being thematically coded by two authors.

Results

We propose a 3-pronged Video Adaptation Framework that places the aim of video adaptation at the center of a triangle framed by end recipients, health workers, and the environment. End recipients (here, pregnant or lactating mothers) directed us to (1) align the appearance, priorities, and practices of the video’s protagonist to those of Burkinabe women; (2) be mindful of local realities whether economic, health-related, or educational; and (3) identify and routinely reiterate key points throughout videos and via reminder cards. Health workers (here, Community Health Workers and Mentor Mothers delivering the videos) guided us to (1) improve technology training, (2) simplify language and images, and (3) increase the frequency of their engagements with end recipients. In terms of the environment, respondents guided us to localize climate, vegetation, diction, and how foods are depicted.

Conclusions

Design research provided valuable insights in terms of developing a framework for video adaptation across settings, which other interventionists and scholars can use to guide adaptations of similar interventions.
Passive diagnosis of mental health disorders administered through an emphatic dialogue system (Preprint)
Authors: Delahunty Fionn , Johansson Robert , Arcan Mihael
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety are the two most prevalent mental health disorders worldwide, impacting the lives of millions of people each year. Current screening methods require individuals to manually complete psychometric questionnaires.

OBJECTIVE

In this work, we developed a deep learning approach to predict psychometric scores given textual data through the use of psycholinguistics features. Textual data is collected via a dialogue system which has been specially adapted to model empathy.

METHODS

A supervised machine learning model is trained to predict patient health questionnaire scores (4-item) from textual data. Training data is taken from the DAIC-WOZ open repository. A sequence-to-sequence neural generative dialogue model is trained on the OpenSubtitles dataset. Empathy is incorporated by adding emotional features to the internal training sequence.

RESULTS

Following a public evaluation, we demonstrate that our approach to model empathy can outperform a similarly trained non-empathic approach, difference between groups (P=0.015). Additionally, we show that our deep learning prediction approach performed well on evaluation data, but has difficulty generalizing to experimentally collected data.

CONCLUSIONS

Firstly, we significantly demonstrate the advantage of incorporating emotional encoding to sequence-to-sequence model training. Secondly, noting limitations, we demonstrate the potential for how psycholinguistics can be used to predict how individuals will answer a patient health questionnaire 4-item.
Revisiting Effective Communication Between Patients and Physicians: Cross-Sectional Questionnaire Study Comparing Text-Based Electronic Versus Face-to-Face Communication (Preprint)
Authors: Mirzaei Tala , Kashian Nicole
Published: November 2019

BACKGROUND

Research has shown that text-based communication via telemedicine will continue to be a mode of communication that patients and physicians use in the future. However, very few studies have examined patients’ perspectives regarding the increased use of text-based communication versus face-to-face (FtF) communication.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to understand and compare the potential differences in patients’ perceptions of communication effectiveness with their physicians through different modes of communication.

METHODS

We conducted a web-based survey of 345 patients to explore the impact of different channels on effective communication and perceived health behavior and outcomes. We tested the impact of patients’ perceived communication and media effectiveness on their self-efficacy, communication satisfaction, and perceived health outcomes, separately for text-based information technology (IT)–mediated communication and FtF communication. Furthermore, we conducted a group comparison to identify significant differences across these 2 groups.

RESULTS

We found no significant differences between patients’ perceptions of effective communication using either IT-mediated communication or FtF communication with their physicians. However, we found significant differences in patients’ perception of media effectiveness: patients perceived FtF communication to be a more favorable medium (P=.02). Interestingly, we found no significant difference in terms of benefits (P=.09) and success (P=.08) of IT-mediated communication versus FtF communication.

CONCLUSIONS

The results of this study imply that patients can achieve the same level of communication effectiveness with their physicians using IT-mediated communication as they would in comparable FtF interactions, but patients view FtF communication to be a more favorable medium than IT-mediated communication.

Authors: Wulandari Yustina Wuri , Supriyadi Supriyadi , Anwar Chairil
Published: November 2019

Steam explosion was proposed as a pretreatment method to accelerate the hydrodistillation (SE-HD) of kaffir lime leaves. This research aimed to compare SE-HD and conventional hydrodistillation (HD) in terms of extraction yield, extraction time, chemical composition, and essential oil quality. The extraction of kaffir lime oil with SE-HD was superior to HD with regard to extraction time (35 min. vs 120 min.) and extraction yield (1.386% vs 1.182%). The chemical composition and the quality of the extracted essential oil from both methods were quite similar, indicating the absence of adverse influence from the application of steam explosion as pretreatment. Therefore, SE-HD was a fast and an energy-saving method for extracting essential oil from kaffir lime leaves.
Moral Education: Panacea for a Free and Stable Nigerian Society
Authors: Jabaar, PhD Saheed Olanrewaju
Published: November 2019

Societies are formed by humans in order to achieve stability by way of having protection from aggression, and engendering cooperation of others in overcoming individual weaknesses. Nigeria has witnessed some degree of social instability in recent years. This has manifested in insecurity of life and property, extreme poverty, youth unemployment, and mutual distrust in basic human relationships. The education sector can be implicated in the challenge of instability as it is the system which is saddled with the responsibility of human capital development. The education system seems to be lopsided towards intellectual development of learners as opposed to balanced (cognitive, affective and skill) development of individuals. This paper adopts method of philosophical analysis to survey relevant literatures and theoretical postulations on human freedom and social stability with a view of interrogating how extensive guarantee of freedom could be reconciled with realization of human development. The paper underscores the school system as a point of early social interaction, and a focal point in preparing individuals for participation in social life by way of inculcating in them the consciousness of their dependence on others in spite of their independence as free beings. It is advanced that education system needs to focus on producing balanced and cultured individuals who can rationally exercise their freedom. An integrative moral education model of teaching moral is proposed as innovative pedagogical skill which teachers can adopt to enhance learners’ social consciousness.

Published: November 2019

This research tries to analyze and discuss about the forms and functions of the operator in English found in the novel entitled Twilight written by Stephanie Meyer as the data source. The method used in conducting this research includes; chose the data source, data collection and data analysis. All the data from the novels are collected through library research by selecting the sentences which are related to the topic and analyzed systematically based on its types and functions. The theories applied to support this paper are the theory of Quirk, et al in their book entitled A Grammar of Contemporary English (1972) as the main theory, the theory of Cobuild in his book entitled English Grammar (1990) and others that are relevant to the topic are used as supporting theories. Based on the result of the analysis, it is found that the operators have four major forms namely do, be, have, and central modals. Besides, the functions of the operators are helping the positive declarative sentence in forming negative, interrogative, and nonassertive. In forming negative, the operator is immediately added with the negator not or the enclitic contracted form n’t and it is placed between the subject and the predication. Then, there are two forms of interrogatives or questions, namely yes-no questions and wh-questions. In yes-no questions, operatoris placed in front of the subject generally and in the wh-questions, the operator follows the wh-words. Besides, the operators also have important function in forming the nonassertive because the nonassertive form usually appears in the negative and interrogative sentences.

[Title: Lexicons of Flora in Balinese Metaphors: Ecolinguistic Studies]This research is an ecolinguistic study focused on metaphors that is related to ecological environment that concerns flora. The reseacrch is firstly aimed at finding and analyzing the lexicons of flora found in Balinese metaphors. Secondly, it is aimed at analyzing and describing cognitive metaphorical meaning between the source and target, and thirdly is aimed at analyzing and describing how the metaphors and metaphorical expressions were constructed. The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative method. The written data were collected from some sources, like Basita Parihasa (book collection of words, sarcasms, metaphors, and others in Balinese), a short story of Balinese containing metaphorical expressions and a Balinese song lyric. The spoken data were collected from an informan as a native speaker of Balinese language.Based on the analysis results, The metaphorical meanings found in this writing mostly showed the similarity, such as body shape, characteristic, situation, and conditon of a human. In other words, cognitive process occured by conceptualizing bodily experience by similarity of the source and target domain in processing metaphorical expressions. It is also found that the Balinese metaphors were constructed by mapping process through ecolinguistic parameters. The mapping process occured, due to the similarity of character or system between source and target, especially Balinese people and ecological environment (flora which exist in Bali). The metaphors were also constructed by bodily experience of the language users which were recorded in human’s cognitive under the praxis social dimension.

This study aims to find out and analyze types of politeness strategy expressed by the characters in the novel, to find out the procedures of translation applied to translate the politeness strategy applied by the characters in the novel and also to identify factors that affect the translation of politeness differences in the novel entitled Supernova: Ksatria, Putri & Bintang Jatuh translated into English. The data of this study was taken from a novel entitled Supernova: Ksatria, Putri & Bintang Jatuh and its translation into English. This study is limited into only analyzing the politeness strategy expressed by the characters in the novel and also analyzing translation procedures applied in translating politeness in the source language to the target language. This study used a qualitative method means the data are collected by observation and note taking process. The theories applied in this study such as from Brown & Levinson (1978) to analyze the politeness strategy, the procedures of translation theory proposed by Vinay and Dalbernet (in Hatim and Munday (2004), and to analyze factors that affect the translation of politeness in the novel, theory based on the ideas of the possibility in translation by Cohen (1985) which is also related to Rand (1966) philosophy of objectivism, objective reality & conceptual equivalence, and anthropological linguistics by Foley (1997) are applied. The result of this study showed that the type of politeness which mostly applied in the dialogue is positive politeness, the politeness strategies in the dialogue of the novel presented in oblique translation, and the politeness differences applied in the novel (Bahasa Indonesia and English version) held a very important role in forming and delivering the right messages that wanted to convey by the author to target language. The translator who also played an important role in bridging the message also consider context, and more importantly culture in which belong to the expected target readers.

Важно отметить, что в рамках указанной школы геоинформатика понимается более широко, чем изучение и применение географических информационных систем. Геоинформатика включает в себя исследования по созданию методов и алгоритмов, позволяющих автоматизировать решение задач в области наук о Земле на базе данных исходных наблюдений. Под решением понимается адекватное моделирование логики эксперта, осуществляющего анализ данных и принятие решений вручную. Именно системы наблюдений и регистрируемые данные о процессах, происходящих в недрах Земли и в околоземном пространстве, являются основой фундаментальных исследований как в области геоинформатики, так и других науках о Земле. Так, под руководством академика А.Д. Гвишиани была существенна развита система наблюдений магнитного поля Земли. Настоящая статья в большей мере посвящена математическому аппарату, используемому для анализа данных наблюдений с целью последующего выявления новых закономерностей в процессах Земли и околоземного пространства.
Численное моделирование параметров полярной ионосферы
Authors: Лукьянова Р. Ю.
Published: November 2019

В статье дается обзор разработанных трех численных моделей для расчета электродинамических параметров высокоширотной ионосферы Земли. Модель глобального распределения ионосферного электрического потенциала, построенная на основе решения краевой задачи о растекании ионосферных токов, позволяет рассчитать траектории конвекции ионосферной плазмы в северном и южном полушариях. Модель высокоширотной ионосферы позволяет оперативно рассчитывать трехмерную структуру электронной плотности в диапазоне высот 120-500 км при различных гелио-геофизических условиях. Учитывается определяющая роль электрических полей магнитосферного происхождения. Концентрация основных ионосферных ионов определяется решением уравнения фотохимического баланса и конвективно-диффузионного уравнения вдоль траектории конвекции плазменных трубок с учётом параметров термосферы. Разработана методика и алгоритмы численного расчета распределения магнитного поля над ионосферой, которое создается электрическими токами магнитосферного происхождения. Модель базируется на решении уравнения для векторного магнитного потенциала и позволяет рассчитать двумерную картину магнитных вариаций.
Le siècle des totalitarismes : éléments d’histoire conceptuelle et polémique
Authors: Angenot Marc
Published: November 2019

Este estudo reflete sobre o funcionamento polissêmico da concepção de totalitarismo a partir de uma abordagem histórico-semântica que inicia durante os anos 1920 com a neologização do termo pelo jornal “Il Mondo”, analisando os efeitos das ideologias dos regimes totalitários em seus diferentes funcionamentos nos contextos históricos da Alemanha hitlerista, da Itália no regime de Mussolini e da Rússia durante o regime stalinista. A partir de reflexões em torno das derivações e transformações que o conceito apresenta, estabelecemos um diálogo com as idéias de Hannah Arendt propostas em “As Origens do Totalitarismo” (1989) buscando uma compreensão da história conceitual do totalitarismo.
Possíveis leituras de “Foi Propaganda Mesmo Que Você Disse?” de Michel Pêcheux
Authors: Zandwais Ana
Published: November 2019

Este estudo busca refletir sobre as origens do termo propaganda durante o início do século XX nos Estados Unidos e em países europeus do “Leste e do Oeste” com vistas à produção de uma análise sobre os meios e os fins que conduzem seus diferentes empregos, de acordo com interesses econômicos e políticos em sociedades liberais e regimes totalitários. Ao abordar as formas através das quais o termo é utilizado e os sentidos que adquire, acompanhando a abordagem do filósofo francês Michel Pêcheux, buscamos ilustrar como este tipo de discurso funciona até os dias atuais.

The whitening and loss of brown adipose tissue (BAT) during obesity and aging promote metabolic disorders and related diseases. The imbalance of Ca2+ homeostasis accounts for the dysfunction and clearance of mitochondria during BAT whitening. Capsaicin, a dietary factor activating TRPV1, can inhibit obesity induced by high-fat diet (HFD), but whether capsaicin inhibits BAT loss and the underlying mechanism remain unclear. In this study, we determined that the inhibitory effects of capsaicin on HFD-induced obesity and BAT whitening were dependent on the participation of SIRT3, a critical mitochondrial deacetylase. SIRT3 also mediated all of the beneficial effects of capsaicin on alleviating reactive oxygen species generation, elevating mitochondrial activity, and restricting mitochondrial calcium overload induced by HFD. Mechanistically, SIRT3 inhibits mitochondrial calcium uniporter (MCU)-mediated mitochondrial calcium overload by reducing the H3K27ac level on the MCU promoter in an AMPK-dependent manner. In addition, HFD also inhibits AMPK activity to reduce SIRT3 expression, which could be reversed by capsaicin. Capsaicin intervention also inhibited aging-induced BAT whitening through this mechanism. In conclusion, this study emphasizes a critical role of the AMPK/SIRT3 pathway in the maintenance of BAT morphology and function and suggests that intervention in this pathway may be an effective target for preventing obesity- or age-related metabolic diseases.

O ensino de sistema de numeração decimal instrumentalizado através de jogos por meio de percursos de estudo e pesquisa
The teaching decimal numbering system instrumentalized through games through study and research routes
Authors: Neves Anderson Souza , Farias Luiz Marcio Santos
Published: November 2019

A noção de sistema de numeração decimal é fundamental para a aquisição de diversos conceitos matemáticos e os documentos nacionais e internacionais norteadores da educação destacam a importância da utilização desse saber para o ensino da matemática. Nessa perspectiva, percebemos que as dificuldades/obstáculos apresentados pelos estudantes, desde educação infantil, persistem até o ensino superior, impossibilitando a compreensão dos aspectos sobre sistema de numeração decimal. Nesse sentido, este projeto tem por objetivo analisar o desenvolvimento de Modelo epistemológico-didático de referência, por meio de Percurso de estudo e pesquisa para formação de professores sobre sistema de numeração decimal para o 5° ano do Ensino Fundamental I utilizando como recurso materiais concretos que passarão por (re)construções praxeológicas no intuito de potencializar este saber. Nesse ínterim, acreditamos ser possível identificar fenômenos didáticos, como o vazio didático, uma das incompletudes da atividade institucional no que tange a atividade docente. Para este trabalho utilizaremos a Teoria das Situações para a elaboração de situações que aproxime o professor e estudantes dessa saber, a Teoria da Antropologia Didática como suporte para a construção e análise de um Percurso de Estudo e a T4TEL para a investigação das praxeologias completas e suas variações nas situações. Esta proposta de investigação é de natureza qualitativa, numa perspectiva clínica, com observação direta e registros das praxeologias dos participantes.
Análise de Praxeologias em Avaliação Formativa em Ambientes Virtuais na Construção delimites de uma Função Real de uma Variável Real
Analysis of practices in formative evaluation in virtual environments in the construction of the concept of limits of a real function of a real variable
Authors: Carvalho Osnildo Andrade , Farias Luiz Marcio Santos , Silva Itamar Miranda da
Published: November 2019

O presente trabalho é um recorte de uma pesquisa em andamento, e tem como objetivo analisar as práticas em avaliação formativa em aulas de cálculo diferencial e integral através de ambientes virtuais. Nosso foco é a incompreensão do conceito de limites, conceito este essencial para o curso de cálculo. Nossa lente teórica está alicerçada nos aportes da Teoria Antropológica do Didático; esta teoria apresenta elementos importantes para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa tais como as praxeologias, os ostensivos e não ostensivos. A nossa questão de investigação é como os estudantes reorganizarão as praxeologias relativas ao conceito de limites, numa organização didática, com a presença sistemática da avaliação formativa, tendo como suporte um ambiente virtual. Temos como hipótese que a atividade institucional somente se completa quando se dá ênfase à exploração dos momentos de trabalho da técnica e do tecnológico-teórico. A nossa abordagem metodológica está pautada na engenharia didática, que procura modelar teoricamente a investigação. E por fim, esperamos, com essa investigação, apresentar contribuições para o aprendizado de cálculo diferencial e integral bem como dialogar com pesquisas relacionadas com o tema.
Áreas de figuras planas no 9º ano: um olhar para a organização matemática e didática do professor
Areas of flat figures in the 9th year: a look at the mathematics and didactic organization of the teacher
Authors: Moura Almir Pereira de
Published: November 2019

Este texto discute o ensino da área de figuras planas no 9º ano do ensino fundamental tendo como foco de análise a organização matemática e didática utilizada pelo professor durante a abordagem do saber em sala de aula. Como sustentações teóricas faz-se uso da discussão de área enquanto grandeza proposta por Douady e Perrin-Glorian (1989), Baltar (1996), Bellemain (2000) e Santos (2015) e da noção de praxeologia da Teoria Antropológica do Didático desenvolvida por Chevallard (1999) e colaboradores. Se tratando de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, a produção de dados se deu da seguinte maneira: utilizou-se a videogravação para registrar as aulas dedicadas ao saber e anotações de campo, em seguida, foram transcritas as aulas e analisadas a luz do aporte teórico adotado. Os resultados apontam que o professor utilizou uma abordagem da área enquanto grandeza, explorando para isso, tarefas de cinco diferentes tipos, dos quais comparar áreas e determinar uma área foram trabalhados com maior ênfase. No trabalho com essas tarefas percebeu-se uma ênfase no momento exploratório da atividade matemática e na constituição do ambiente tecnológico-teórico
