Authors: Kusnoto  , Athoillah Mohamad Anton , Sholehudin Ending , Huda Uu Nurul , Bambang Waluyo
Published: February 2025

Banks, including Islamic banks, prioritize caution when lending money by using credit analysis methods like the 5C and 7P frameworks. Before approving a loan or financing request, banks assess applicants to minimize the chance of defaults. Questions arise regarding the law of credit analysis in banks from the perspective of the Qur’an, which is the source of Islamic economic law. This research is qualitative research with a normative juridical approach by examining legal verses in the Qur’an and linking them to qiyas. The research results show that verse 5 and 6 of the an-Nisa contain a prohibition on handing over assets to people who are not competent to manage them and contain orders to carry out tests before handing over a funds. 'The law contained in the condition is that in the case of incompetence in managing funds, testing is required before handing over the funds. Overall, the study concludes that credit analysis practices in banks align well with these principles, making them not only advisable but also encouraged under Islamic law.

Published: February 2025

This research explores the application of the concept of Darul Ahdi Wa Syahadah as a foundation for implementing Maqasid al-Shariah within the context of the Pancasila state. The aim is to examine how Islamic values, which protect religion, life, intellect, progeny, and property, align with the principles of pluralism and diversity enshrined in Pancasila, ultimately striving to achieve a just, prosperous, and harmonious Indonesian society. Using a qualitative approach with a literature review and critical discourse analysis, this study examines various scientific works, official Muhammadiyah documents, and public policy reports. Findings reveal that Darul Ahdi wa Syahadah and Maqasid al-Shariah can harmonize in public policies that promote social justice and welfare in alignment with Pancasila’s principles, underscoring the role of Muhammadiyah as a key agent in integrating Islamic values with state ideology. Despite significant challenges, particularly concerning pluralism and religious freedom, these concepts hold substantial potential to reinforce social and political stability in Indonesia. Future research should focus on developing specific indicators to assess the effectiveness of Darul Ahdi wa Syahadah and Maqasid al-Shariah in public policies across sectors such as education, economic development, and healthcare. Additionally, empirical studies should be conducted to evaluate the broader societal reception of these concepts within Indonesia's pluralistic framework.

Authors: Merino-Campos Carlos , Del-Castillo Hector
Published: February 2025

This study explores how the transition to online learning during the COVID-19 lockdown specifically affected the physical performance and activity levels of kindergarten to 12th grade (K-12) students in physical education (PE) classes. This article examines the challenges PE teachers face in maintaining physical activity (PA) engagement remotely and the most effective strategies focusing on a systematic review of the literature published between 2019 and 2023. The study integrates findings from diverse contexts highlighting differences in resources, infrastructure and teacher preparedness. The review highlights specific interventions that successfully mitigated a decline in PA and promoted the physical and mental well-being of students during the pandemic. Among these, structured virtual programs that incorporated innovative technological tools and emphasized family engagement were particularly effective in addressing the decline in physical and mental health indicators. Findings indicate that family participation, easily accessible digital materials, and organized online physical education sessions can be crucial in maintaining students' PA levels. These results underline the importance of tailored strategies to address the unique challenges of online PE and provide evidence for adapting curricula to future crises. This review provides key insights for future applications of online learning in PE with implications for improving student outcomes in physical health during remote learning.

Authors: Chansaengsee Sovaritthon
Published: February 2025

This research aims to determine the extent to which first-year tertiary students exhibit Field Independence (FI) as a mediator in their self-control and self-management skills (SCMSk). The second phase of the study aimed to investigate strategies for preparing high school students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) to successfully navigate their academic lives based on the findings from the first phase. Explanatory sequential design was used in this mixed-methods research. The researcher selected 400 first-year students as participants and asked them to respond to a questionnaire based on five major factors. The focus group discussion included 10 special education teachers, four school directors and six psychologists who provided suggestions and strategies to assist ADHD students while attending online lessons. The examination of the goodness-of-fit indices (GFI) for this model was found to be .982 and FI served as a partial mediator in this model. Furthermore, SCMSk was directly influenced by other factors. In the second phase, the stakeholders proposed effective strategies by focusing on the development of five relevant factors. The findings are advantageous for teachers and other stakeholders working with students with ADHD. Variables could serve as indications helping teachers develop effective strategies to enhance online learning.

Authors: Gao Shiqin , Bai Lisu , Gan Tao , Wang Bolun
Published: February 2025

The conversion of toluene into high-value products without generating undesired CO2 remains a critical challenge. Selective oxidation of toluene under visible light irradiation has emerged as a promising solution. This review offers a comprehensive interpretation of photocatalytic transformations in heterogeneous toluene oxidation. We start by outlining the basic mechanism of C–H bond activation of toluene and provide an overview of reactive oxygen species (ROS) within photocatalytic systems. Subsequently, we provide a summary of strategies that have been developed to enhance the conversion and selectivity of the heterogeneous photocatalytic system. Following this, advanced characterization techniques and density functional theory (DFT) calculations are discussed for understanding the structure-performance relationship of photocatalysts and the mechanisms underlying photocatalytic processes. Finally, we put forward a detailed discussion of current challenges and potential directions for future research, with the aim of offering valuable insights for this emerging field. We believe that this review will not only spark greater creativity in optimizing photocatalysts but also offer valuable insights for designing other C–H bond activation systems.
Improved hardness prediction for reduced-activation high-entropy alloys by incorporating symbolic regression and domain adaptation on small datasets
Authors: Pan Hao , Zheng Mingjie , Li Xiaochen , Zhao Shijun
Published: February 2025

The reduced-activation high-entropy alloys (RAHEAs) have promising applications in advanced nuclear systems due to their low activation, excellent mechanical properties and radiation resistance. However, compared to the conventional high-entropy alloys (HEAs), the relatively small datasets of RAHEAs pose challenges for alloy design by using conventional machine learning (ML) methods. In this work, we proposed a framework by incorporating symbolic regression (SR) and domain adaptation to improve the accuracy of property prediction based on the small datasets of RAHEAs. The conventional HEA datasets and RAHEA datasets were classified as source and target domains, respectively. SR was used to generate features from element-based features in the source domains. The domain-invariant features related to hardness were captured and used to construct the ML model, which significantly improved the prediction accuracy for both HEAs and RAHEAs. The normalized root mean square error decreases by 24% for HEAs and 30% for RAHEAs compared to that of the models trained with element-based features. The proposed framework can achieve accurate and robust prediction on small datasets with interpretable domain-invariant features. This research paves the way for efficient material design under small dataset scenarios.

Published: February 2025

The study investigated the challenges confronting preparation of financial report of selected state governments in Southwestern Nigeria. Financial reporting in the Nigerian public sector is marred by a host of challenges that hinder transparency, accountability and effective governance. The study used a descriptive survey research design and primary data were collected from three states of Ondo, Ekiti and Ogun through structured questionnaires. The target population consisted of the Office of the Accountant General and the Office of the Auditor General within government departments. The total population of the study was 763 individuals, including 276 participants in Ondo State, 256 participants in Ekiti State and 231 participants in Ogun State. The sample size was 262 participants, selected using the Taro Yamane formula. The online survey was completed with 100% validity and a reliability test coefficient of 0.929 using Cronbach's alpha statistics. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics. The study examined the lack of technical expertise, inadequate accounting systems, complex regulatory environment, transparency and accountability concerns, inadequate funding and political interference. To address these challenges, it was recommended that Nigeria must invest in capacity-building, modernize its technology infrastructure, establish effective regulatory mechanisms, enhance transparency measures, allocate adequate resources and safeguard financial reporting from political interference. By doing so, Nigeria can pave the way for accurate, credible financial reporting, fostering trust, good governance and economic development.

Authors: Devred Raphaël
Published: February 2025

La forêt tient un rôle central dans le paradigme de la conservation de la nature né en Europe entre le XVIIe et le XIXe siècle. Le boisement y est considéré comme un bon état de santé de la sylve, espace peuplé d’arbres à vocation de production. Cet article s’intéresse à ces processus et à cette santé sylvicole en étudiant le cas de la forêt domaniale de Rambouillet du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours. Cette étude diachronique souhaite contribuer à l’identification locale des processus de boisement, d’enrésinement et de peuplement de la forêt dans une perspective d’histoire environnementale de la conservation de la nature.
Messages clés :- La composition actuelle de la forêt de Rambouillet tout comme son boisement sont des processus récents, initiés seulement à partir du XVIIIe siècle.- Le boisement est un dispositif central dans le paradigme de la conservation de la nature mais il ne constitue pas une voie unique.

Des gains considérables de précision sont à prévoir pour les décideurs et gestionnaires.
Messages clés :- L’inventaire multisource permet aux décideurs et aux gestionnaires de choisir la précision et la résolution qu’ils désirent pour estimer les attributs forestiers.- Cette approche a été mise en œuvre sur la Sologne et les Vosges par l’IGN.
Défrichement et destination forestière du terrain
Authors: Liagre Jacques
Published: February 2025

La notion même de défrichement recèle un piège dans lequel il est facile de tomber. À l’évocation du mot défrichement, on se focalise sur la destruction de l’état boisé, en oubliant que le coeur du sujet réside non dans la destruction des arbres mais dans l’intention morale de donner au terrain une autre vocation. Ce n’est pas l’arbre qui fait la forêt mais la fonction qui a été donnée à un sol. Maintenir ou modifier cette fonction n’appartient qu’au propriétaire du sol, ce pourquoi la loi fait du propriétaire le responsable pénal principal en cas de délit de défrichement non autorisé.
Messages clés :- Le délit de défrichement est matérialisé par la destructionde l’état boisé mais n’est effectif que si cette destruction vise à faire disparaître la destination forestière du sol.- Le propriétaire est seul capable de mettre fin à la destination forestière de son bien - Sauf modification des circonstances, le maintien de ladestination forestière d’un terrain est définitivement acquise après un refus de défrichement.
Can university social responsibility improve student satisfaction through service quality?
Authors: Suranta Sri , Setiadi Fahmi , Karunia Asaprima Putra , Wulandari Trisninik Ratih
Published: February 2025

This research explored the importance of university social responsibility (USR) as an implemented strategy for improving service quality and student satisfaction. Specifically, it sought to investigate the impact of USR on student satisfaction through the mediating factor of service quality. The population comprised all students of the Economics and Business Faculty at Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta, a state institute. The samples were drawn from students in their fifth semester and beyond, as these students were believed to have a deeper knowledge of the USR activities conducted by the institution, compared to those in their first semester. The variables used are: (1) USR application as the independent variable, (2) service quality as the mediating variable, and (3) student satisfaction as the dependent variable. The data collection started with preparing the tools and information to estimate all the included variables. The questionnaire was made using Google Docs, and a related link was generated for distribution. The respondents then completed the questionnaire, and the data were gathered in a database, and later downloaded in Excel or another format, depending on the statistical analysis tool used. Path analysis was done to test the hypotheses using the WarpPLS 8.0 statistical tool. The results indicated that service quality mediated the USR effect on student satisfaction. Notably, the coefficient values revealed that the indirect USR effect on student satisfaction, through service quality, was stronger than the direct effect. While some prior models have researched the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and consumer satisfaction, this study applies the concept of USR in education, using a distinct set of measurements.
Transformable Surface Mechanisms Based on Bending-active Scissors Structures
Authors: Nishimoto Seri , Tachi Tomohiro
Published: February 2025

Deployable structures made of elastic materials connected by rotational pivots that transform from a flat state to a curved surface have advantages such as being lightweight and construction efficiency. In particular, the geodesic grid shell, in which flat members follow the geodesics
of the surface, has one degree of freedom for in-plane deformation, which makes its deployment easy to control. In this study, we propose a design method for deployable surface mechanisms based on a combination of bending-active scissors structures. The mechanism transforms into a 3D curved
surface due to the incompatibility of the in-plane shear deformation of the scissors' units. In this paper, we geometrically show that if two states of the same combination of unis exist, they can smoothly transition between them. Using this feature, we propose a design method for a mechanism
that can deploy to a target surface by creating two states of equal length. We also present design examples and physical prototypes. Our structure can be efficiently fabricated by the assembly of short, straight members in the 2D state. We believe this method can be applied to deployable structures
such as temporary shelters and flexible partitions.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. This research intends to prepare bed gels for medium of plant growth. Bead gels were prepared by grafting cassava bagasse by acrylamide with ammonium persulfate (APS) as the initiator using microwave energy. This research aims to examine the effect of the ratio of acrylamide to APS initiator on the swelling capacity. Briefly, cassava bagasse powder 1 g in 80 ml distilled water was mixed with acrylamide and APS to form grafted polimer by applying microwave. The resulted grafted polymer powder then was mixed with carrageenan to create bead gels. The formed bead gel was soaked in distilled water to test the swelling capacity. The highest swelling capacity in this research is 1183.333% at a ratio of 0.1 g APS : 15 g acrylamide and 1213.33% at a ratio of 10 g acrylamide : 0.1 g APS. Therefore, the swelling capacity increases with an increase in the ratio of acrylamide and APS. From the results of swelling capacity and FTIR, it can be concluded that the grafting process of cassava bagasse and acrylamide has been successfully conducted.

Published: February 2025

Abstract. Food color is one of the things that consumers consider when choosing and sorting food. So the use of coloring in food seems to be a necessity for every food producer. The health impact of using synthetic dyes is a reason for us to go back to nature by using natural dyes. Natural dyes can be an alternative dye that is non-toxic, renewable and environmentally friendly. Miana (Coleous scutellarioides (L) Benth) is a tropical plant that grows wild in Indonesia. This plant contains anthocyanins which have potential as natural dyes. This research aims to determine the effect of maceration time on total anthocyanin coloring powder from miana leaves as a source of natural coloring substances using the foam mat drying method. The research began with preparing the ingredients, then macerating 25 grams of miana leaves using 250 mL of distilled water with varying times of 6, 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 hours. The maceration results are then filtered and centrifuged. In the foam mat drying method, maltodextrin filler is added with a concentration of 8% and egg white foaming agent with a concentration of 5%. Based on the research results, the best conditions were obtained at a maceration time of 36 hours. The analysis results showed that the dye powder yield was 57.643%, the water content was 2.237%, the solubility was 97.711% and the total anthocyanin concentration was 217.09 mg/L.

Study of The Effect of Temperature On The Desorption Efficiency of Precious Metals In The Elution Process Using Anglo American Research Laboratories (AARL) Method
Authors: G.F. Frideni Yushandiana Putri , Mawarda' Mei Iftita , - Sulaeman - , Mirahati Riria Zendy , Haq Shofa Rijalul
Published: February 2025

The elution process, known as the desorption of gold from carbon into solution, uses high temperature and pressure. Activated carbon is used as an adsorbent in the precious metal adsorption process. PT Indo Muro Kencana uses the Anglo American Research Laboratories (AARL) method to desorb valuable metals from the activated carbon of the Carbon In Pulp (CIP) process. The elution process of this research involves 9 stages: Pre-heat, Pre-soak 1, Pre-soak Circulation, Lean 1, Presoak 2, Lean 2, Water Elution 1, Water Elution 2, and Cooling. This study found that copper (Cu) metal desorbed from carbon first, followed by silver (Ag) metal, with the desorption of gold (Au) metal occurring last due to the influence of the stability value of metal cyanide complexes. High cyanide concentrations (~ 10% CN-) were given in Pre-soak 1, Pre-soak Circulation, and Pre-soak 2. The elution process is significantly affected by high process temperatures, particularly 123°C in the Lean 2 stage, which effectively desorbs gold (Au) at its optimal point. The solution product that only contains copper from the initial 60 minutes of the Pre-heat and Pre-soak 1 processes was transferred to the tailings tank to improve the efficiency of the refining process. The total recoveries for gold (Au), silver (Ag), and copper (Cu) were 93.1%, 95%, and 94.7%, respectively.

In this sense, the purpose of this paper is to analyse the possibilities of this methodology for history and, through the analysis of two key works, to identify its functionality for future research, especially in the field of regional history.
Evaluating Screening Guidelines for Disruptive Behavior Problems in Children: A Systematic Review of the Accuracy of Parents’ Concerns
Authors: Wells Sarah L. , Baillargeon Raymond H.
Published: February 2025

Disruptive behavior problems (DBPs) in young children are early indicators of potential disruptive behavior disorders (DBD), which can lead to negative health and social outcomes. Secondary prevention strategies that target DBPs may facilitate early interventions and reduce these risks. Current Canadian pediatric practice guidelines provide an example one such strategy and suggest screening for DBPs only if a child’s parent reports concerns about their behavior. This systematic review sought to determine if parents’ concerns can provide enough information to justify a decision in favour of, or against, screening for DBPs. The protocol was registered on Prospero (CRD42021157492), and no funding was received. Six databases were searched (March 23–26, 2022) for prospective, retrospective, or naturalistic studies assessing the diagnostic accuracy of parents' concerns. Studies were included if they elicited parents' concerns about their child's behavior via an index test, used a reference standard to identify DBPs in children aged 0-5, and reported true/false positive and true/false negative outcomes. Studies were excluded if they did not include children in the target age range, did not report the outcomes of interest, used inappropriate sampling methods, measured heterogeneous mental health problems, elicited heterogeneous concerns from parents, or if they were not a primary analysis of data. Risk of Bias was assessed using the QUADAS-2 tool, and results were synthesized to produce calibrated estimates of the accuracy of parents’ concerns in the form of weighted kappa coefficients. Of 53 studies reviewed, only one met the eligibility criteria. Moderate agreement was found between the absence of DBPs and parents' concerns (k = 0.533, 95% CI: 0.501-0.564) and fair agreement for the presence of DBPs and parents’ concerns (k = 0.255, 95% CI: 0.238-0.272). These findings suggest that parents' concerns alone may not be sufficiently accurate to guide clinical screening decisions, highlighting a significant gap in the literature. Further research is needed to validate this approach. Until more data becomes available, clinicians should be cautious when interpreting the presence or absence of parents’ concerns about their child’s behavior, and in using parents’ concerns when making decisions to screen for DBPs.
Impact of Telemedicine Adoption on Stroke Patients’ Hemiplegia: Longitudinal Observational Studies (Preprint)
Authors: Li Wenwen , Zhang Mingshan , Ke Weiling , Ke Weiling
Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

Telemedicine has emerged as a critical tool in the management of acute stroke, yet its impact on clinical decision-making, particularly in the administration of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), remains underexplored. Understanding how telemedicine adoption influences tPA use and subsequent patient outcomes, such as hemiplegia, is critical for optimizing stroke care protocols.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to assess whether the adoption of telemedicine influences treatment decisions regarding tPA administration in stroke patients. In addition, we employ a causal mediation framework to examine the causal path between telemedicine adoption and the occurrence of hemiplegia via tPA use.

METHODS

We analyzed stroke patient data from Florida’s State Emergency Department Database (SEDD) and the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) database, covering the years 2010 to 2017 regarding telemedicine adoption. The final sample includes 314,665 stroke patient visits. A two-way fixed effects model was employed to examine the relationship between telemedicine adoption and tPA use, and between tPA use and hemiplegia occurrence. A causal mediation framework was then applied to estimate the Average Direct Effect (ADE) and the Average Causal Mediation Effect (ACME) of telemedicine on hemiplegia through tPA use. Additionally, a moderated mediation analysis was performed to explore how metropolitan status influences the mediation process.

RESULTS

We find that telemedicine adoption is associated with a 1% decrease in tPA use. Also, tPA use is linked to a 23.6% increase in the probability of hemiplegia. Telemedicine adoption was found to reduce the likelihood of hemiplegia by decreasing tPA usage. The causal mediation analysis shows a negative ACME, suggesting that telemedicine adoption reduces hemiplegia occurrence, while the ADE is not statistically significant. Importantly, the positive effect of telemedicine on reducing hemiplegia is observed only among metropolitan patients.

CONCLUSIONS

This study provides evidence that telemedicine adoption can improve stroke care by reducing tPA administration, thereby lowering the risk of hemiplegia. However, the benefits appear to be more pronounced in metropolitan areas, highlighting potential regional disparities in stroke care. These findings underscore the importance of targeted interventions to ensure equitable access to telemedicine, especially in rural and underserved areas. Policymakers should focus on enhancing telemedicine infrastructure and training in these regions to optimize stroke care and reduce health inequities.

Objective: This study evaluated the quantity and quality of antibiotic use in hospitalized patients and outpatients at the Boyolali District Health Center.
Methods: This research is a non-experimental study that collects data by purposive sampling. The inclusion criteria were inpatients and outpatients at the two community health centers in the Boyolali district. Data were analyzed quantitatively using the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical/Defined Daily Dose (ATC/DDD) method and qualitatively using the Gyssens method.
Results: During the study period, 123 hospitalized patients and 338 outpatients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The majority of hospitalized patients were women (53.7%) aged 46-65 (30.1%) with a length of stay ≤4 d (56.9%). In comparison, most outpatients were women (61.5%) aged 26-45 (26.9%). The total Defined Daily Dose (DDD)/100 patients-days aged<18 who were hospitalized was 24.3; the most antibiotic was Cefotaxime (36.6%). The total DDD/100 patients days aged ≥ 18 who were hospitalized was 89.7; the most common antibiotic was Thiamphenicol (42.1%). Meanwhile, the most frequently prescribed antibiotic in outpatient was Amoxicillin, 85.3% (age<18 y) and 50.2% (age ≥18 y). Based on Gyssen's analysis, most of the antibiotic administration was in criterion IIIB; namely, the administration of antibiotics was too short.
Conclusion: It is necessary to increase the rationality of the use of antibiotics both in inpatients and outpatients.

Los peregrinajes han sido una de las tantas formas en que las personas se han relacionado con aspectos claves de su cosmología a lo largo de la historia. En este trabajo analizaremos un circuito de peregrinaje de altura en la ladera oriental del Nevado de Cachi (Salta, Argentina) a través de datos generados con relevamientos intensivos, excavaciones sistemáticas, imágenes aéreas y satelitales, bases de datos georreferenciadas, y asistidos por herramientas CAD, GIS y de realidad aumentada. Específicamente, discutiremos cómo la topografía, la arquitectura y 3 km de camino inca expusieron y ocultaron intencional y secuencialmente las características fundamentales de este paisaje. Argumentaremos que las transformaciones incaicas alteraron estratégicamente la forma en que se experimentaba este paisaje, reensamblando sus jerarquías humanas y no humanas a través de un nuevo circuito de peregrinaje que presentaba a las comitivas incaicas como mediadoras especialmente entrenadas para interactuar con las principales entidades, fuerzas y sustancias procreativas de la montaña.

The primary aim of this study is to investigate the types of Diabetic diseases, their characteristics and impact on lives,
further complications and ways of treatment. Diabetes is a dangerous disease in which the body cannot properly control the
amount of sugar in your blood because it does not have enough insulin. Also known as Diabetes mellitus (DM), it is the most
common manifestation of glucose metabolism alterations, and it is both a cardiovascular risk factor and a cardiovascular disease
per se. It is associated with long-term micro and macrovascular complications. There are several different types of diabetes: Type
2 Diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes, Diabetes Insipidus, and Gestational Diabetes. This paper evaluates all ranges of the diseases and
provides an important array of information with regard to Diabetes.
Tipo, gênero textual e gênero do discurso: em busca de uma definição para o ensino
Authors: Cassettari Marcel Innocenti
Published: February 2025

O estudo da lí­ngua natural, sob a perspectiva do gênero, constitui um dos principais motes acadêmicos hodiernos, especificamente por tratar-se de elemento indispensável, segundo o prescrito pelos Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais. Ao evidenciar o gênero textual como uma das preocupações centrais, o linguista foca o Cí­rculo de Bakhtin como fonte de grande relevância, com contribuições quanto ao conceito de gênero do discurso, interação entre sujeitos, enunciado, dialogismo e responsividade. No uso cotidiano e acadêmico, muitas vezes, a expressão "gênero do discurso" é utilizada como sinônimo da de "gênero textual". O objetivo do presente estudo é demonstrar que, apesar de existirem pontos de contato, os conceitos são distintos. Concomitantemente, buscar-se-á evidenciar como essa diferença contribui para o processo ensino-aprendizagem de textos no contexto escolar.
A identificação dos recursos expressivos de humor em Comédias da Vida Privada – Edição Especial para Escolas, de Verí­ssimo, como estratégia para o ensino de leitura e produção de texto
Authors: Santos Helio Sant'Anna dos
Published: February 2025

Neste artigo pretendemos contribuir para a fundamentação do trabalho do professor no ensino de leitura e produção de texto. Apresentamos análise de dados, com a qual se testa a hipótese da oposição semântica como recurso expressivo de humor em Comédias da Vida Privada – Edição Especial para Escolas, de Verissimo. O objetivo é demonstrar a aplicação de uma ferramenta de análise de textos de humor longos, já que os trabalhos acadêmicos que versam sobre o humor o fazem em relação principalmente í s piadas. Partimos da tese de que há um princí­pio de cooperação próprio dos textos não sérios e, a partir de tal pressuposto e fundamentados principalmente na teoria de Raskin (1985) e nas pesquisas de Ermida (2002), Giora (1991), Koch e Travaglia (1997), Koch e Elias (2006) e Possenti (1998), defendemos a oposição e a sobreposição de scripts como condições necessárias e suficientes para a construção discursiva do humor nas narrativas de Verissimo.
A sala de aula de leitura e produção de textos como espaço dialógico: ethos, polifonia e discurso envolvente

Published: February 2025

Observando a linguagem sob a perspectiva dialógica, este artigo procura descrever e analisar cenas de sala de aula, a partir da observação de marcas linguí­sticas dos discursos de sujeitos envolvidos em situação de ensino, relacionando-os com as noções de ethos (MAINGUENEAU, 2005, 2006; AMOSSY, 2008; SOUTO MAIOR, 2010), polifonia (BAKHTIN, 2005) e de discurso envolvente (SOUTO MAIOR, 2012). É a partir de uma abordagem qualitativa de pesquisa (CHIZZOTTI, 2001; LÜDKE e ANDRÉ, 1986; TRIVIÑOS, 2008) que desenvolvemos este trabalho, analisando transcrições de gravações em áudio e diários de campo com informações coletadas em situações de ensino nas aulas ministradas no Projeto Ensino e aprendizagem de Lí­nguas em Comunidades de Maceió (PROEX/FALE). Observamos, neste estudo, que o ethos dos sujeitos envolvidos nesta pesquisa - construí­do no e pelo discurso -, reforça o que defende Amossy (2008) quando afirma que "todo ato de tomar a palavra implica a construção de uma imagem de si", através de discursos envolventes veiculados pela mí­dia e pelo discurso religioso, caracterizados pela multiplicidade de vozes e consciências. Nesse sentido, é importante promover nas aulas de Leitura e Produção de textos discussões sobre temáticas que façam sentido para os alunos e que os permitam refletir sobre a atualidade.

Published: February 2025

Este trabalho de pesquisa apresenta o relato dos resultados de uma experiência disponibilizada pela disciplina Prática de Ensino de Lí­ngua Portuguesa e de Literatura Brasileira do curso de Letras da UFCG em uma instituição da rede pública de ensino de Campina Grande - PB. A experiência foi realizada com uma turma de 3º ano do ensino médio, o que fez com que organizássemos um curso visando o principal objetivo dos alunos nessa etapa de escolaridade: a inserção no ensino superior. Para isso, planejamos e aplicamos uma sequência didática voltada para a produção do gênero dissertativo-argumentativo e análise linguí­stica de alguns recursos presente nesse gênero, como os adjetivos, as locuções adjetivas e as orações subordinadas adjetivas. Na prática, o foco foi a observância do uso e da funcionalidade dos recursos linguí­sticos, além da análise do contexto de produção especí­fico do gênero escolhido. Norteamos o trabalho em sala, a partir da elaboração do módulo "Ter o que dizer para saber como dizer" e da sequência didática, o que respaldou a aplicação das teorias pesquisadas sobre a análise linguí­stica no curso. Adotamos como parâmetro para as aulas o ENEM (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio,) que avalia a competência de leitura e escrita do candidato através do gênero dissertativo-argumentativo. Neste trabalho apresentaremos um pouco de nossa experiência em sala de aula, evidenciando os aprendizados mais consideráveis com a experiência, entre eles: a diferença entre o planejamento e a sua execução. Para tanto, utilizaremos como fundamentação teórica: Mendonça (2006), Kleiman (2007), Kemiac e Lino (2011) e Souza (2003).
