O LUGAR DAS LÍNGUAS MOÇAMBICANAS NO PANORAMA EDUCACIONAL DE MOÇAMBIQUE: QUE PERSPECTIVAS?
Authors: Patel Samima
Published: February 2024

Este artigo analisa a forma como a questão linguística em Moçambique tem sido tratada ao longo dos anos e o seu impacto na educação. A legislação e outros mecanismos sutis foram utilizados para tornar o multilinguismo do território invisível nos currículos escolares, pois tanto as autoridades coloniais como as do pós-independência adotaram o português como a única língua capaz de criar um estado-nação. É, assim, que Moçambique é majoritariamente orientado por epistemes ocidentais, sendo, por isso, necessária uma mudança no fazer pesquisa e ciência educacional. O artigo sustenta-se em estudos culturais e pós-coloniais (Bhabha, 1994; Cavalcanti, 1999, 2011; Hall, 1996).

LETRAMENTOS NEGROS: O CORPO COMO SABER
Authors: De Freitas Santos José Henrique
Published: February 2024

Neste trabalho aborda-se os letramentos negros no Brasil, como usos sociais críticos da leitura e da escrita em contextos de agências de letramentos afro-brasileiros (casas de candomblé, movimento hip hop, agremiações do samba, jongo, congado, comunidades quilombolas, periferias, dentre outros), considerando ainda a genealogia dos letramentos africanos, o seu caráter antirracista e seus traços multissemióticos e multimodais a partir das cores, imagens, gestos, grafismos, sons que os constituem. Desde um processo metodológico que compreende a revisão bibliográfica de textos que tratam das epistemologias africanas e negro-brasileiras, bem como da análise de variados exemplos, demonstra-se como os letramentos negros apontam para a vida social produtiva do corpo afro-brasileiro, dialogando ainda com a noção dos letramentos de reexistência de Ana Lúcia Silva Souza, com os valores civilizatórios discutidos por Azoilda Trindade, bem como com os conceitos de ancestrallidade trazido por Eduardo Oliveira, pensamento nagô de Muniz Sodré, de epistemologia Bantu-kongo de Bunseki Fu-Kiau e Literatura-terreiro de Henrique Freitas.

REFLECTIONS ON BEING A LANGUAGE EDUCATOR IN BRAZIL AND THE UNITED STATES: WHY RACIAL IDENTITIES ALWAYS MATTER
Authors: Jorge Miriam
Published: February 2024

This paper aims at sharing some perspectives on being a language educator in Brazil and the United States. My main focus is on racialized learning and teaching experiences and how they may shape our praxis in language studies. The concept of intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1989) is fundamental to my discussion, framed around three main threads: race, language, and class. I use autoethnography as a process and a method for reflection on my experiences concerning what I see from my transnational lenses. The discussion explores how racialized experiences matter in two contexts that are so similar yet so different.
U.S. administration’s press communications on Tunisia after the July 25, 2021 ‘state of exception’: The shaping of urgency discourse
Authors: Ben Ghozlen Boutheina
Published: February 2024

July 25, 2021 was an exceptional day in Tunisia, ushering in a new chapter in its contemporary political history and triggering a wave of global responses to the declared ‘state of exception’. This research examines the U.S. administration’s press communications on Tunisia following this event. Specifically, it explores (i) the dominant crisis frames permeating these communications and their underlying political agenda and (ii) the extent to which the discourse they imparted signals a change in U.S. foreign policy towards Tunisia in crisis situations. To meet these research objectives, a corpus-based investigation was undertaken using an integrative framework combining qualitative (frames) and quantitative (keyness and collocations) approaches. Results revealed changing discourses around the theme of crisis, moving from a sense of togetherness to urgency. This may echo the cautious attitude of the American government and its heightened concern about Kais Saied’s transitional measures. In broad terms, the exploration offered a glimpse of how the dynamics of global politics unfold discursively. Importantly, the Biden administration’s construction of Tunisia’s political-democratic crisis in terms of urgency can have real-life consequences for international perceptions of the country’s future. Theoretically, the study’s implications touch primarily upon Corpus-Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS, henceforth), particularly the evolving corpus linguistics concepts of keyness and collocation networks.
Typical agramaticalized constructions as actualized mono- and polysynonymic transforms of virtual primary syntagmata and propositions (on the material of modern french fiction)
Authors: Lepetiukha Anastasia
Published: February 2024

In this article, mono- and polysynonymic typical agrammaticalized constructions are defined as virtual transforms of primary syntagmata and propositions, actualized in the form of reduced, extended, and quantitatively equacomponential preferential options, in which expressivity prevails over expression. The aim of this research was to suggest a typology and to determine the degree of co(n)textual pertinence of typical agrammaticalized mono- and polysynonymic transforms in modern French fiction. To reach this aim I used the procedure of inverse reconstruction (discourse → language) of the primary structure of the analyzed types of mono- and polysynonymic agrammaticalized discourse innovations. The method of systematization made it possible to build a typology of common agrammaticalized synonymic preferential options. An “alternative” linguistic experiment, i.e., an artificial substitution by the recipient of a certain syntagm or proposition of the analyzed discourse fragment by a synonymic syntagm or proposition, helped to determine the degree of co(n)textual pertinence of the primary structure and secondary synonymic transforms. As a result, the types of mono- and polysynonymic typical agrammaticalized constructions were distinguished, the primary structure and members of virtual synonymic series were inversely reconstructed, and the co(n)textual pertinence of the constructions under analysis was justified by means of the “alternative” linguistic experiment. I claim, that in the French fiction of the 20th ‒ 21st centuries, the most frequent elements are mono- and polysynonymic typical agrammaticalized mono- and polypredicative utterances, extended by the interrogative or relative pronoun que, the personal pronoun il (and its colloquial analogues), quantitatively equacomponential preferential options containing the pronominal component que, and elliptical constructions with final suppression of complement after prepositions avec, sans, pour, contre, parmi, comme. I also claim, that the main reason for actualizing typical agrammaticalized constructions is to emphatically focalize new co(n)textual referents, stylistically nuance the intra- and / or interphrasal co(n)text, syntactically simplify complex structures, or prevent the re-actualization of referents previously introduced to the pre- or post-text.
Ecolinguistic approach to the analysis of the notion “leader’s charisma” (based on English non-fiction literature)
Authors: Soloshchuk Lyudmyla , Skrynnik Yuliia
Published: February 2024

The research attempts to study various aspects and correlations between the verbal and non-verbal characteristics of charismatic leaders from an ecolinguistic perspective. The analysis of the lingual and non-lingual repertoire of a charismatic leader, his main characteristics and correspondence of his verbal, non-verbal and supra-verbal behavior to the ecological principles of communication demonstrates that if the leader avoids using in their speech the elements producing a harmful effect on physical, psychological or emotional state of a partner they can reach ecologically effective influence on the audience. A charismatic leader's identity emerges from psychological and social factors that manifest in their speech. This statement correlates with the principles of ecolinguistics, which involve the analysis of verbal, non-verbal, and supra-verbal phenomena in the unity with natural, social, and psychological factors. Modern English non-fiction literature was chosen as the research material. The non-fiction authors – scientists, psychologists, coaches, and business-trainers, focus the reader’s attention on the main criteria for creating the image of a charismatic leader, which includes verbal and non-verbal communicative components, as well as their ecological combinability. Core features that effectively shape the image of a successful leader are charisma and high communicative skills, which include preservation of communicative maxims of quantity, quality, relation, and manner. The focus of ecolinguistic research on a charismatic leader who influences the society and achieves their goals through various means, including language, contributes to further development of the theory of discursive personality. The results of this study can be used in discourse studies, studies of verbal and non-verbal communication, pragmalinguistics, and communication theory.

Published: February 2024

The issue of high-density housing and sustainability is a critical concern for rapidly growing urban areas. This academic essay proposes a solution to this problem by implementing apartment complexes designed to promote sustainability and address the housing shortage in the city. Addressing the urgent issue of high-density housing and sustainability in urban expanses undergoing rapid growth, this research concentrates on the potential of existing apartment redesign and adaptation within Wellington central area. In response to the escalating demand for living spaces, this study proposes redesigning and adapting existing apartment as a critical strategy to achieve sustainability. This approach significantly minimizes waste associated with demolition and reconstruction, enhancing environmental stewardship. The proposed strategy aligns with the long-term sustainable urban development goals set forth by Wellington City Council, underscoring its relevance to current civic planning objectives. The research’s central focus is the potential optimization of existing dwellings. The study posits such dwellings as a viable solution to the problems associated with urban population growth, considering factors such as spatial maximization, adaptability, and the promotion of sustainable lifestyles. By rethinking the potential of existing structures and aligning design strategies with sustainable living principles, this research aims to contribute meaningfully to the discourse on urban living and environmental sustainability. This research seeks to formulate novel design methodologies informed by an exhaustive exploration of successful models relevant to existing housing. The goal is to establish a conceptual framework that efficiently utilizes limited space.

Overall, the proposed apartment complex is a promising solution to the challenges of high-density housing and sustainability in Wellington, New Zealand, by probing into urban living dynamics, future urban housing development balances the need for practicality and affordability with environmental responsibility. It aims to provide an informed perspective to stimulate more sustainable urban development in Wellington and beyond by weaving these strands together.
Participatory decision making in Sri Lankan schools: An analysis of stakeholder perceptions
Authors:   , Wickramasinghe Malepathirana Chethana
Published: February 2024

This research investigates the state of participatory decision making (PDM) in Sri Lankan schools and explores the factors influencing its implementation. Despite the government's efforts to decentralize educational management and promote stakeholder participation in schools, previous studies suggest that the desired level of engagement has not been achieved. The existing literature highlights the lack of comprehensive research on PDM practices in Sri Lankan schools, indicating the need for further exploration. Adopting an interpretivist qualitative research approach, this study examines how school stakeholders engage in PDM, their understanding of PDM, factors influencing school-based PDM, and stakeholder expectations related to PDM in Sri Lanka. A survey was administered to sixty-two participants in six public schools, followed by an in-depth study including individual and focus group interviews with principals, teachers, parents, and past pupil representatives from school governing committees in three public schools located in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Findings revealed limited stakeholder understanding, particularly among parents and past pupils, about their role and power as school stakeholders. Principals and teachers perceived their participation as influential, while parents and past pupils were relegated to consultative roles. Parents and past pupils demonstrated contentment with the status quo, placing trust in the expertise of principals and teachers. Incongruences between structural demands for school-based PDM and individual, power-related, political, and cultural factors within schools emerged as significant influences contributing to the observed levels of PDM understanding and implementation. Each school presented unique challenges, dilemmas, and coping mechanisms in implementing school-based PDM.

The study concludes that the above incongruences hinder effective PDM implementation in Sri Lankan schools. It emphasizes the necessity of addressing the misalignment between structural requirements and individual, power-related, political, and cultural dynamics. Recommendations include bridging stakeholder understanding gaps, fostering equitable stakeholder engagement, and creating an enabling environment that supports inclusive decision-making processes. This research contributes to the academic discourse on PDM in Sri Lankan schools, shedding light on the complexities and challenges faced. It calls for a critical examination of existing policies and practices to promote more meaningful stakeholder involvement, and facilitate effective decision-making processes in the Sri Lankan educational context.
Understanding Leaderships’ Role in Teachers’ Professional Development – A Secondary Publication
Authors: Oliveira Conceição da Natividade , Oliveira Isolina
Published: February 2024

In an increasingly connected and interdependent society, collaborative culture emerges as an effective and efficient answer to overcome the complexities that teachers face daily. In turn, the teaching activity requires a continuous reflection on practice, involving the teacher in a constant search for professional development, as a reflective researcher. Now, the action of teaching, understood as a craft and an art that materializes in practice, requires grounding (specific knowledge and skills) and theoretical-practical reflection, aimed at improving the teaching and learning of students. For this purpose, the school must be thought of as a learning organization that expands and innovates with the development of professionals who work in it, which requires a new mode of operation from the leaders, the creation of favorable conditions for the continuous questioning of practices and a culture that values permanent learning and improvement. The study carried out in a group of schools in the Greater Lisbon area had, among others, the following objectives: (1) to identify the perceptions of leaders about supervision and collaboration; and (2) to understand the role of leaders in the professional development of teachers. From a methodological point of view, the investigation assumes the design of a case study, with a mixed approach, based on eight individual interviews with top leaders and twenty-one questionnaire surveys, applied to class directors. The results show different understandings of the concept of collaboration and the role of leaders in the professional development of teachers, perceived as an unfinished process and under permanent reconstruction.

Modern methodological approach to the assessment of the individual quality of life of HIV-infected patients
Authors: Petrov A.G. , Glembotskaya G.T. , Khoroshilova O.V.
Published: February 2024

Introduction. The study of the quality of life (QOL) of HIV-infected patients in the system of personalized and specialized pharmaceutical care is a fundamentally new method that allows us to study the multidimensional picture of the patient's subjective experiences caused by the disease. Integral information about the physical, psychological, spiritual and social aspects of the disease makes it possible to identify individual characteristics of the patient's reaction to the disease, evaluate the effectiveness of treatment in a particular patient according to individual monitoring data and use these data to correct the treatment and prevention program.
Objective: development of modern methodological approaches to assessing the individual quality of life of HIV–infected patients to determine the effectiveness of treatment of a particular patient with subsequent correction of the therapy and prevention program.
Material and methods. The object of the study is HIV-infected patients undergoing treatment at the State Medical Institution “Kuzbass Center for Prevention and Control of AIDS” (n=250). The QL research methodology includes key components: selection of a research tool; collection and formation of a database; scaling of questionnaire data; statistical processing of collected information; analysis and interpretation of results.
Results. A modern modified method for assessing the individual quality of life of HIV-infected patients based on the use of relationship type indices has been developed. Each indicator represents the ratio of satisfaction with a certain aspect of life to the corresponding level of psychological claims. The sum of the index values is an indicator of quality of life.
Conclusion. A modified widely used method has been developed to assess the individual quality of life of HIV–infected patients in the system of specialized pharmaceutical care to determine the effectiveness of treatment of a particular patient with subsequent correction of the therapy and prevention program. It has been established that one of the main factors determining the quality of life of HIV–infected patients is a subjective assessment of health, which proves the importance of assessing quality of life as an integral indicator closely related to health.

Patients of the main group received a new rehabilitation method, including rhythmic transcranial magnetic stimulation, No. 10, balance therapy on a simulator with biofeedback, No. 10, whirlpool baths for the lower extremities, No. 10, physical therapy, No. 10, and massage of the lower extremities, No. 10. The rehabilitation method for the control group included magnetic therapy for the lower extremities, No. 10, whirlpool baths for the lower extremities, No. 10, physical therapy, No. 10, and massage of the lower extremities, No. 10.
Results. There were revealed a decrease in NSS scale values by 33.3% (from
6.0 [4.0; 7.0] to 4.0 [3.0; 6.0] points, p=0.029) and DN4 questionnaire scores –
by 36.4% (from 5.5 [3.0; 7.0] to 3.5 [2.5.0; 5.0] points, p=0.034, p=0.045 in comparison with control), increase in walking speed by 10.7% (from 75.0 [59.0; 88.0] to 83.0 [68.0; 103.0] steps per minute, p = 0.047), decrease in time performing the “Up and go test” from 12.0 [7.0; 15.0] to 10.0 [5.0; 11.0] sec (p=0.039) and an increase in the time of maintaining balance in the “One leg standing test” with eyes closed on the right leg from 2.0 [1.0; 3.5] to 3.5 [1.5; 6.0] sec (p=0.041, p=0.022 compared with control) in patients of the main group, after completion of rehabilitation,. In the control group, there were no reliably significant changes in any of the studied indicators (p>0.05).
Conclusion. A new rehabilitation complex, including transcranial magnetic stimulation and balance therapy with biofeedback against the background of standard therapy, helps to significantly reduce the severity of symptoms of distal diabetic polyneuropathy, increase walking speed and improve static balance.

Published: February 2024

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common arrhythmias, which results in disability and death in the patients. The mechanisms of systemic and local atrial activation of the coagulation system provoke the risk of stroke in the presence of even short AF episodes. Novel oral anticoagulants (NOACs), particularly rivaroxaban, have shown their efficacy in preventing stroke in patients with AF. The international ROCKET AF, XANTUS, PREFER, and RIVER studies have studied different aspects of anticoagulant therapy, on the basis of which, the use of rivaroroxaban has been approved for the prevention of ischemic stroke and systemic embolisms in patients with non-valvular AF; the efficacy and safety of the drug have been proven.

Published: February 2024

Purpose. To study the functional state of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which is involved in the formation of adaptation processes in schoolchildren with different physiological abilities.
Material and methods. Three groups of junior schoolchildren were examined: 1st – intellectually gifted children, selected based on the results of specialized scales and tests; 2nd – children with high sports/physical abilities; 3rd (control) – schoolchildren with good academic performance and sports/physical abilities. The functional state of the ANS of children was studied using cardiointervalography.
Results. The dynamics of the mode indicators, mode amplitude, variation range, and tension index of regulatory systems (IN) indicated that in group 1 the activity of the sympathetic influences of the ANS predominated, the ratio IN2/IN1 showed hypersympathicotonic reactivity. In group 2, the IN values corresponded to normotonic values. The majority of children in groups 2 and 3 had a normal type of autonomic response. The greatest increase in heart rate and systolic blood pressure during orthostasis was observed in group 1.
Conclusion. Multidirectional changes in systolic blood pressure and an increase in diastolic blood pressure of varying degrees of severity were established in children of the study groups, which indicates the heterogeneous nature of vascular reactions to orthostasis. The rhythmogram indicators in group 1 are characterized by the predominance of the activity of the sympathetic influences of the ANS. The identified imbalance in the functional activity of the ANS in children of the 1st group indicates the tension of adaptation processes.

Functional disorders of the biliary tract are included in the group of functional diseases of the digestive system, widespread everywhere, and represent a complex of clinical symptoms developing as a result of motor-tonic dysfunction of the gallbladder, bile ducts and sphincters. Their clinical manifestations are often quite diverse and non-specific. Therefore, the problem of verification, treatment and prevention of this pathology continues to be relevant. In our study, among 37 practically healthy volunteers, in 55% of cases, a functional disorder of the gallbladder of the hypomotor type was detected, correlations of indicators of the motor function of the gallbladder with markers of systemic inflammation were established.

Uso de guías para el manejo de la densidad en bosques mezclados de Michoacán
Authors: Hernández Martínez Abel Joseph , Reyes Hernández Valentín José , De los Santos Posadas Héctor Manuel , Velázquez Martínez Alejandro , Quiñonez Barraza Gerónimo
Published: February 2024

Las guías de densidad (GD) son herramientas fundamentales para la silvicultura porque permiten realizar una mejor distribución del espacio de crecimiento dentro del rodal. El objetivo de este trabajo fue construir y aplicar dos GD derivadas de un modelo potencial (MP) y uno exponencial (ME) para la simulación de aclareos. Se probaron dos objetivos de manejo forestal: (1) Para conservar, y (2) Para cambiar la proporción de especies del rodal. Se usó la información procedente de 1 346 unidades mínimas de manejo forestal (UMMF) con mezcla de especies. Las UMMF se proyectaron dentro de las GD en términos del Índice de Densidad de Rodal (IDR), con respecto a un IDR máximo (IDRmax). Después se seleccionó una UMMF de forma aleatoria para prescribir secuelas de aclareos de acuerdo con los dos objetivos planteados. Los IDRmax fueron de 883 (MP) y 800 (ME), con los cuales se definieron las zonas de crecimiento de Langsaeter en forma porcentual: 70 % mortalidad inminente, 40 % crecimiento constante y 20 % crecimiento libre. Las simulaciones de aclareos indicaron que, tanto en 1 como en 2, se proyectó una mayor remoción de árboles y de área basal cuando se usó la GD del MP con respecto a la GD del ME. Las dos GD tienen implicaciones en la proyección de la cosecha final debido a la estructura y a la definición de los IDR.
