Η ανάπτυξη συγκεκριμένων διδακτικών προσεγγίσεων και παιδαγωγικών μεθοδολογιών για τη δημιουργική αφήγηση μπορούν να υποστηρίξουν και να αξιοποιήσουν δυναμικά τη μάθηση, τις δεξιότητες των μαθητών/τριών και την αυτοέκφρασή τους. Σε αυτό το άρθρο προτείνεται η εφαρμογή του καινοτομικού εκπαιδευτικού σεναρίου με την αξιοποίηση της ‘Ιστοριογραμμής του Ταξιδιού του Ήρωα’ μέσω 2 μνημονικών εργαλείων με την ατομική συμμετοχή των μαθητών/τριών λόγω των περιορισμών Covid-19. Στην έρευνα περίπτωσης πήραν μέρος 15 μαθητές/τριες δημιουργώντας ιστορίες πριν και μετά τη διδασκαλία των δύο μνημονικών εργαλείων, του ‘Αστεριού της Αφήγησης’ και του ‘Ρολογιού του Ταξιδιού του Ήρωα’. Σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα, η παρέμβαση με το ‘Αστέρι της Αφήγησης’ δεν είχε ουσιαστικές διαφορές ενώ η παρέμβαση με το ‘Ρολόι του  Ήρωα’ ήταν επιτυχημένη. Παρ’ όλα αυτά η έρευνα έδειξε μεγάλο αντίκτυπο των υπαρχόντων παραμυθιών και ταινιών στις μικρές ηλικίες καθώς οι μαθητές/τριες άλλαξαν υπάρχουσες ιστορίες με υπάρχοντες ήρωες χωρίς να δημιουργήσουν, με ελάχιστες εξαιρέσεις, εντελώς αυθεντικές ιστορίες. Επειδή η έρευνα είναι μελέτη περίπτωσης με τη συμμετοχή μικρού αριθμού μαθητών/τριών χρειάζεται περαιτέρω έρευνα με στόχο την ανάπτυξη της φαντασίας των παιδιών για τη δημιουργία πρωτότυπων ιστοριών, κόσμων και ηρώων.
Πολιτισμική και γλωσσική ετερότητα στο ελληνικό σχολείο: Η περίπτωση των Τάξεων Υποδοχής
Authors: Κοντογιάννη Διονυσία , Θώμου Παρασκευή
Published: December 2022

Στο ελληνικό σχολείο το κύριο μέτρο για την εκπαιδευτική ένταξη των γλωσσοπολιτισμικά διαφορετικών μαθητών αποτελεί η φοίτησή τους σε Τάξεις Υποδοχής (Τ.Υ.). Ωστόσο, ενώ υπάρχει αρκετή θεωρητική τεκμηρίωση για τη σημασία της αξιοποίησης του γλωσσικού και πολιτισμικού κεφαλαίου των μαθητών αυτών κατά τη μαθησιακή διαδικασία, τα θεσμικά μέτρα που υιοθετούνται φαίνεται ότι αποσιωπούν την υπάρχουσα θεωρητική γνώση. Σε ένα τέτοιο πλαίσιο η παρούσα έρευνα διερευνά τις απόψεις των εκπαιδευτικών των Τ.Υ. σχετικά με το βαθμό ετοιμότητάς τους να διδάξουν σε αυτές τις τάξεις και το βαθμό συνεργασίας που αναπτύσσουν με τους εκπαιδευτικούς των συμβατικών τάξεων. Επιπρόσθετα, διερευνώνται οι απόψεις και οι πρακτικές των εκπαιδευτικών των Τ.Υ. για την αξιοποίηση του γλωσσικού και πολιτισμικού κεφαλαίου των μαθητών κατά την εκπαιδευτική διαδικασία. Η συλλογή των δεδομένων έγινε με ημιδομημένες συνεντεύξεις σε εννέα εκπαιδευτικούς Τ.Υ. και με ημιδομημένες παρατηρήσεις διδασκαλιών μέσα σε Τ.Υ. με παράλληλη συμπλήρωση ημερολογίου. Μέσα από τα ευρήματα της έρευνας οι εκπαιδευτικοί των Τ.Υ. ανέδειξαν μία γενικότερη εγκατάλειψη και απαξίωση του έργου που επιτελεί η Τ.Υ. Ειδικότερα, μόνο κάποιοι εκπαιδευτικοί Τ.Υ. φαίνεται να κατανοούν τις ανάγκες των γλωσσοπολιτισμικά διαφορετικών μαθητών και να καθιστούν τις τάξεις τους «ασφαλείς χώρους» για αυτούς τους μαθητές.

Επιτελώντας την Ασούρα στον Πειραιά
Authors: Χατζηπροκοπίου Μάριος , Τσιμπιρίδου Φωτεινή
Published: December 2022

Η έρευνα εξετάζει την τελετουργία της Ασούρα, όπως επιτελείται από την πακιστανική σιιτική κοινότητα στον Πειραιά. Η Ασούρα είναι η μέρα του πένθους για το μαρτύριο του ιμάμη Χουσεΐν, ο οποίος ήταν εγγονός του Προφήτη και τρίτος ιμάμης και ηγήθηκε μιας εξέγερσης εναντίον του Ομεϋά χαλίφη Γιαζίντ Α΄, γεγονός που οδήγησε τελικά στον αποκεφαλισμό του κατά τη μάχη της Κερμπάλα το 680 μ.Χ. Στη μάχη αυτή βασίζεται το κεντρικό αφήγημα γύρω από το οποίο οι σιιίτες μουσουλμάνοι συγκροτούν την πολιτική τους ταυτότητα ως μετανάστες και τη θρησκευτική τους ταύτιση ως μειονότητα σε σχέση με τους σουνίτες μουσουλμάνους στην Ελλάδα. Η Ασούρα τιμάται κάθε χρόνο με τελετουργίες θρήνου και δημόσιες ακολουθίες που σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις περιλαμβάνουν την πρακτική του αυτομαστιγώματος.

Η εκτός συμφραζομένων εστίαση στην πράξη του αυτομαστιγώματος, η οποία υπερτονίζεται από τα μέσα μαζικής ενημέρωσης, επανισχυροποιεί τοπικά στερεότυπα για τις πρακτικές της σιιτικής κοινότητας ως «ασύμβατες» με «ελληνικές» πολιτισμικές αξίες. Κοινωνικές αναπαραστάσεις των σιιτών ως «βαρβαρικών Άλλων» ανακαλούνται συχνά στον δημόσιο λόγο ώστε να υποστηρίξουν ισλαμοφοβικά και φυλετικοποιημένα αφηγήματα αντικοσμοπολιτισμού. Αντιμέτωποι ωστόσο με την ξενοφοβία και την κοινωνική αποξένωση, οι σιίτες επιχειρούν συστηματικά να αρθρώσουν αντιαφηγήματα «πολιτισμικής οικειότητας», τα οποία δίνουν έμφαση στις ομοιότητες ανάμεσα στη δική τους θρηνητική τελετουργία και σε ποικίλες ενσώματες επιτελέσεις πίστης από τα πολιτισμικά συμφραζόμενα του ελλαδικού χώρου, όπως το προσκύνημα στην Τήνο ή τα Αναστενάρια.

Η έρευνα έχει τριπλό στόχο. Πρώτον, καταγράφει τον πολιτικό αγώνα της κοινότητας να προάγει διαλεκτικά και πρακτικά ένα όραμα πολιτειότητας βασισμένο σε ενσώματες και συν-αισθη(μα)τικές συνισταμένες υποκειμενικότητας. Δεύτερον, αναλύει τον πλούσιο μετασυμβολικό χαρακτήρα που προσλαμβάνει η Ασούρα στο μεταναστευτικό πλαίσιο, καθώς μεταμορφώνεται σε ιδίωμα έκφρασης και διαχείρισης αισθημάτων απώλειας τα οποία συνδέονται με μεταναστευτικές διαδρομές. Τρίτον, εκκινώντας από την περίπτωση της Ασούρα, αλλά και διευρύνοντας την ερευνητική οπτική με αναφορά σε άλλα παραδείγματα θρηνητικών επιτελέσεων, εξετάζει πώς η ποιητική της «πολιτισμικής οικειότητας» αρθρώνεται εκ νέου σε σύγχρονες καλλιτεχνικές πρακτικές, με επίκεντρο τις παραστατικές τέχνες.

Published: December 2022

The protein structure prediction problem is solved, at last, thanks in large part to the use of artificial intelligence. The structures predicted by AlphaFold and RoseTTAFold are becoming the requisite starting point for many protein scientists. New frontiers, such as the conformational sampling of intrinsically disordered proteins, are emerging.
Cognitive Linguistics Terms in Scientific Communication
Authors: Romanova T.
Published: December 2022

The article was prepared during the work on the dictionary of cognitive terms. It highlights some results of the project work: aspects of the cognitive terms description in a new educational dictionary, methodological and instrumental approaches taken during the dictionary project. The research approach is based on the methodology of cognitive semantics.

The dictionary may become a textbook for those who study cognitive linguistics and a reference book for researchers in the field of cognitive science. The main goal of this lexicographic source is to describe a term both as a minimal component of scientific knowledge and as a unit of the lexical level of language. Modeling of the knowledge format is carried out with the help of corpus and software instruments, including cognitive (associative) experiment. The novelty of the dictionary is that this thesaurus-encyclopedic sourse presents terms in their system nature. The term use is analyzed on the material of modern scientific communication and illustrated with examples from scientific discourse. The corpus of examples from scientific communication and the subcorpus of popular science communication examples are compiled by the project participants according to technologies and rules of corpus linguistics. The data collected as a result of the scientific communication analysis is verified by comparing it with the results of an associative experiment and with the data of popular science communication subcorpus. This explains the fundamental novelty of the dictionary and its applicability for clarifying the issues of scientific communication in cognitive aspect.
Mini-dental implants: an overview
Authors: Chotai Milisha , Rahma Sary , Abela Stefan
Published: December 2022

Mini-dental implants (MDIs) are defined as dental implants with a diameter of less than 3 mm, made of the same biocompatible material as conventional dental implants. Their use to replace missing teeth as well as to support complete overdentures is very well documented in the literature. Additional indications for their use include placement in interdental spaces with insufficient space to warrant placement of conventional dental implants and in cases where surgical bone augmentation procedures are contraindicated. In general, MDIs are less invasive, require less time, result in less post-operative morbidity and are more cost effective in comparison to conventional dental implants.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: Dental implants are the fastest growing area in dentistry and MDIs have been exhibiting an increase in popularity. They are considered a viable treatment option due to their associated decreased surgical morbidity, their clinical efficiency with immediate-loading being the norm and above all cost-effectiveness.

Published: December 2022

This article provides an overview of the paediatric and orthodontic considerations when treating patients with molar–incisor hypomineralization (MIH). Effective management of MIH often requires input and care provision from both paediatric and orthodontic specialties, resulting in collaborative care between these two specialties with a combined treatment plan and regular communication in order to provide the gold standard of care.

CPD/Clinical Relevance: The GDP should be aware of the clinical features of MIH and when to refer to secondary care.

Perceived water-related risk factors of Buruli ulcer in two villages of south-central Côte d’Ivoire
Authors: Leuenberger Andrea , Koné Bognan V. , N’krumah Raymond T. A. S. , Koffi Didier Y. , Bonfoh Bassirou , Utzinger Jürg , Pluschke Gerd
Published: December 2022

Background

Buruli ulcer, caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans, is a neglected tropical skin disease that is primarily endemic in West and Central Africa, including Côte d’Ivoire. Studies indicate that M. ulcerans infections are caused by contact with an environmental reservoir of the bacteria, governed by specific human biological conditions. Yet, the nature of this reservoir and the exact mode of transmission remain unknown.

Methodology

To identify ecologic risk factors of Buruli ulcer in south-central Côte d’Ivoire, we pursued a qualitative study matched with geo-referencing inquiry. Embedded in a broader integrated wound management research project, we (i) mapped households and water sources of laboratory confirmed Buruli ulcer cases and (ii) interviewed 12 patients and four health care workers to assess exposure to surface water and to deepen the understanding of perceived transmission pathways.

Principal findings

Water availability, accessibility, and affordability were reported as key determinants for choosing water resources. Furthermore, perceived risks were related to environmental, structural, and individual factors. Despite the presence of improved water sources (e.g., drilled wells), communities heavily relied on unprotected surface water for a multitude of activities. The nearby Bandama River and seasonal waterbodies were frequently used for washing, bathing, and collection of water for drinking and cooking. Many residents also reported to cross the river on a daily basis for agricultural chores, and hence, are exposed to stagnant water during farming activities.

Conclusions/significance

Our study in two Buruli ulcer endemic villages in south-central Côte d’Ivoire revealed a wide range of water-related domestic activities that might expose people to an increased risk of contracting the disease. Environmental, biological, social, and cultural risk factors are closely interlinked and should be considered in future investigations of Buruli ulcer transmission. Active participation of the communities is key to better understand their circumstances to advance research and fight against Buruli ulcer and other neglected tropical diseases.
Social media usage of chinese nursing students: Attitudes, motivations, mental health problems, and self-disclosure
Authors: Zhu Xinhong , Yang Chongming , Ding Linlin , Zhang Xiaona , Qiao Guiyuan , Gao Xiaolian , Yang Fen
Published: December 2022

Background

Excessive self-disclosure online may risk the reputations, mental health problems, and professional lives of nursing students. This study investigated nursing students’ usage of social media, their attitudes towards social media, mental health problems and self-disclosures, and the relationships of these variables.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted online (n = 1054) with questionnaires of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), Social Media Fatigue (SMF), Students’ Uses and Views of Social Media (SUVSM) and self-disclosure in social media which included self-information shown on social media and information viewed by others.

Results

Although most of them held positive attitudes towards social media, 17.4% of the participants acknowledged that they had posted inappropriate contents online and 37.6% witnessed improper posts from schoolmates or teachers online. SMF was affected by familiar with relevant regulations on the social media usage (β = -.10, p < .001), FoMO (β = .41, p < .001), and SUVSM (β = .17, p < .001). Additionally, nearly 1/3 participants reported their net-friends could view following information: gender, age, occupation, education level and location. Self- disclosure in social media was positively influenced by education (β = .10, p < .001), sharing moments or Weibo, etc. (β = .009, P = 0.009), time spent on social media daily (β = .11, p < .001), accepting stranger’s “friend request” (β = .06, P = 0.047), FoMO (β = .14, p < .001) and SMF (β = .19, p < .001). Furthermore, effect of SUVSM on self-disclosure in social media was mediated by FoMO and SMF.

Conclusion

Inappropriate contents are posted and witnessed by appreciable proportions of nursing students. Positive attitude towards social media may strengthen FoMO and SMF, which may increase self-disclosure in social media in turn.
Interprofessional peer-assisted learning and tutor training practices in health professions education–A snapshot of Germany
Authors: Herinek Doreen , Woodward-Kron Robyn , Huber Marion , Helmer Stefanie M. , Körner Mirjam , Ewers Michael
Published: December 2022

Peer-assisted learning (PAL)–especially peer tutorials–are gaining momentum in health professions education, particularly in interprofessional education. As little is known about the use of peer tutorials or the preparation of tutors in this context in Germany and in other countries, this study aims to provide an overview of these interventions. A cross-sectional study with a descriptive-exploratory design was conducted. German institutions for health professions education were contacted, and individuals with pedagogical responsibilities were invited to participate in an online survey. The survey was informed by two studies in which seven domains were identified as important. These included facts about the institution, the offer of PAL, the use of tutorials, and the design of tutor training. The survey used mostly closed-ended questions. The questionnaire was completed by n = 100 participants. Overall, n = 46 participants indicated that PAL was offered at their institution. Of these 46 participants, 32 (70%) indicated that uniprofessional PAL was offered, 2 (4%) indicated that interprofessional PAL was offered, and 12 (26%) indicated that both forms of PAL were offered. Peer tutoring was the most common format in both cases (73% for uniprofessional and 64% for interprofessional PAL), and mandatory interventions were mostly used to prepare the tutors. These interventions were held by educators or lecturers and were offered mostly face-to-face as workshops or as discussions. Deepening the tutors’ social competencies through training was given high relevance. Regarding content, focus was placed on communication, (self-)reflection, and group management. Eighty-eight participants expressed recommendations for future directions in terms of preparing tutors for interprofessional PAL. Minor differences between the use of uniprofessional and interprofessional PAL and tutor training were found. Nevertheless, implementation strategies varied. In future, preparatory measures for tutors should be more uniformly designed and geared to the specific requirements of uniprofessional and interprofessional learning, and that at best on an empirical basis.

The relationship between the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs) in blood and a variety of diseases has been investigated. MiRNA-based liquid biopsy has attracted much attention, and cancer-specific miRNAs have been reported. However, the results of analyses of the expression of these miRNAs vary among studies. The reproduction of results regarding miRNA expression levels could be difficult if there are differences in the data acquisition process. Previous studies have shown that the anticoagulant type used during plasma preparation and sample storage conditions could contribute to differences in measured miRNA levels. Thus, the impact of these preanalytical conditions on comprehensive miRNA expression profiles was examined. First, the miRNA expression profiles of samples obtained from healthy volunteers were analyzed using next-generation sequencing. Based on an analysis of the library concentration, human genome identification rate, ratio of unique sequences and expression profiles, the optimal preanalytical conditions for obtaining highly reproducible miRNA expression profiles were established. The optimal preanalytical conditions were as follows: ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as the anticoagulant, whole-blood storage at room temperature within 6 hours, and plasma storage at 4°C or -20°C within 30 days. Next, plasma samples were collected from 60 cancer patients (3 facilities × 20 patients/facility), and miRNA expression profiles were analyzed. There were no significant differences in measurements except in the expression of erythrocyte-derived hsa-miR-451a. However, the variation in hsa-miR-451a levels was smaller among facilities than among individuals. This finding suggests that samples obtained from the same facility could show significantly different degrees of hemolysis across individuals. We found that the standardization of anticoagulant use and storage conditions contributed to reducing the variation in sample quality across facilities. The findings from this study could be useful in developing protocols for collecting samples from multiple facilities for cancer screening tests.

Mirror writing (MW) is the production of individual letters, words, or word strings in the reverse direction. Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, and high MW rates have been reported in patients with PD. Thus, the present study sought to identify the factors that cause MW in patients with PD. We examined the frequency of MW in patients with PD and investigated the area of the brain where such frequency inversely correlates with reduced regional cerebral metabolic rates of glucose (rCMRglc). We also examined whether this area satisfied the motor and visual monitoring hypotheses of MW that have been presented in previous studies. Thirty-six subjects with idiopathic PD and 23 healthy controls were included in the study. We asked the participants to write down words, numerals, and sentences from left to right using their dominant and non-dominant hands. Patients with PD underwent an 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography scan to measure the rCMRglc. Neither the patients with PD nor the healthy subjects exhibited MW in the use of the right hand. In the use of the left hand, MW occurred in 15 of the 36 patients with PD, but in none of the healthy controls. The right intraparietal sulcus was identified as the area where rCMRglc was inversely correlated with the number of left–right reversed characters. Previous functional imaging studies have suggested that the right superior parietal cortex and intraparietal sulcus play an important role in recognizing left–right reversed letters. Therefore, dysfunction in the intraparietal sulcus may hinder the recognition of left–right reversed characters, resulting in MW. Consequently, our findings in patients with PD are consistent with the visual-monitoring hypothesis of MW.
“A sense of the bigger picture:” A qualitative analysis of follow-up interviews with people with bipolar disorder who self-reported psilocybin use
Authors: DellaCrosse Meghan , Pleet Mollie , Morton Emma , Ashtari Amir , Sakai Kimberly , Woolley Josh , Michalak Erin
Published: December 2022

Objectives

People with bipolar disorder (BD) spend more time depressed than manic/hypomanic, and depression is associated with greater impairments in psychosocial functioning and quality of life than mania/hypomania. Emerging evidence suggests psilocybin, the psychoactive compound in “magic mushrooms,” is a promising treatment for unipolar depression. Clinical trials of psilocybin therapy have excluded people with BD as a precaution against possible adverse effects (e.g., mania). Our study centered the experiences of adults living with BD who consumed psilocybin-containing mushrooms, and aimed to (1) understand its subjective impacts on BD symptoms, (2) deepen understanding of Phase I survey results, and (3) elucidate specific contextual factors associated with adverse reactions in naturalistic settings.

Methods

Following an international survey (Phase I), follow-up interviews were conducted with 15 respondents (Phase II) to further understand psilocybin use among adults with BD. As part of a larger mixed-methods explanatory sequential design study, reflexive thematic analysis was used to elaborate findings.

Results

Three major themes containing sub-themes were developed. (1) Mental Health Improvements: (1.1) decreased impact and severity of depression, (1.2) increased emotion processing, (1.3) development of new perspectives, and (1.4) greater relaxation and sleep. (2) Undesired Mental Health Impacts: (2.1) changes in sleep, (2.2) increased mania severity, (2.3) hospitalization, and (2.4) distressing sensory experiences. (3) Salient Contextual Factors for psilocybin use included: (3.1) poly-substance use and psilocybin dose, (3.2) solo versus social experiences, and (3.3) pre-psilocybin sleep deprivation.

Conclusion

Our findings demonstrate both benefits and risks of psilocybin use in this population. Carefully designed clinical trials focused on safety and preliminary efficacy are warranted.
Facets of love in renaissance culture
Authors: Mikosz José Eliézer , Lousa Teresa
Published: December 2022

Starting from a qualitative methodology with a documental base, the concept of love is revisited in a cut that intends to highlight its various representations in Renaissance culture: inherited from classical culture, the reception of the concept of love goes from its mythology to its expression in Platonic philosophy. The theme of love finds a fertile narrative in the Renaissance, present in the poetry of Dante, Petrarch, and Colonna, which will greatly influence the visual arts. This trend finds significant echoes in Portugal; authors such as Leão Hebreu and Camões demonstrate this. It is a theme that will manifest itself at the level of the broader culture of the time, such as, for example, the Renaissance court culture, evident in Castiglione's aspirations for a perfecto cortesano, reaching increasingly erudite and mystical expressions with the philosophical visions of Ficino and Leão Hebreu, where the Cosmogony is seen as a gesture of divine love. Thus, through a key concept of the Renaissance and guided by a comparative perspective, this paper aims to bring to the fore some of the Italian sources and influences on classicist artistic culture in Portugal.
La paideia plutarchea nelle Epistole di Guarino Guarini
Authors: Volpe Cacciatore Paola
Published: December 2022

At the court of Ferrara, the relationship between Prince Lionello d'Este and Guarino gave an impulse to a vivid interest in Greek and Latin culture. In particular, Guarino's attention, expressed in various epistles, is directed towards the study of history, since reading the deeds of the ancients, rescued from oblivion, shows the way to learn virtue and to escape wickedness. For this reason, Plutarch's Lives fulfil this cultural need well, since in them there were many examples of virtuous characters from the past, who had served the state loyally and honestly, and served as models to be imitated. History is therefore magistra vitae, because it is through it and for it that we know the events experienced in peace and war. From such examples of the past, Lionello will be able to benefit greatly, learning, for example, to recognise flatterers.
In memoriam Marcel Conche (1922-2022), e o ideário do Helenismo, dos VII-III AC: de Anaximandro a Heraclito e de Parménides a Epicuro
Authors: Cadafaz de Matos Manuel
Published: December 2022

Nos séculos VII-III AC ocorreu, no contexto do mundo helénico, a emergência de uma nova forma de se observar a natureza. Com os escritos de alguns filósofos como Anaximandro, Heraclito, Parménides e Epicuro de Samos, nesse período primitivo as concepções sobre o ser humano e a sua dependência da Natureza (que ele podia transformar) começaram a ser objecto de leitura e de interpretação. Tendo Marcel Conche, do Departamento de Filosofia da Sorbonne, estudado e editado os textos essenciais destes quatro filósofos antigos, ele pôde assim trazer uma nova acessibilidade a tais pensadores de cariz verdadeiramente universal.
Covid-19, Stigma & Law of the Leper
Authors: Kofi Gokah Theophilus
Published: December 2022

COVID-19 also known as Corona Virus is a new strain of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease. While its virology is yet to be properly understood, its impact by way of human deaths is well registered. Stigma of infected persons is least mentioned as a ‘sub-strain’ that can push people into social isolation and exclusion (like in the book of Leviticus 13) leading to COVID-19 Related Depression (C-19RD). Using inter-disciplinary approach, this paper seeks to understand how this can happen in a COVID-stricken world.
Spatial and temporal structure of Cerrado Conservation Units: combined heterogeneity for conservation
Authors: Santos Sara Alves , Cherem Luis Felipe Soares
Published: December 2022

Unidades de Conservação - UC (type of Brazilian protected area) corresponds to approximately 18% of the national continental area, resulting from the integration of pressures from organized civil society materialized in public policies, whose selection criteria and distribution have varied over time. By observing the location of these protected areas, issues related to their relevance and Cerrado heterogeneity representativeness are of considerable importance for the conservation of life, since they make it possible to understand this Biome’s current situation, perspectives, and challenges for its conservation. Therefore, the objective here is to evaluate the spatial distribution of UC in the Cerrado from the temporal evolution of new units’ creation, in administrative spheres and categories, with a period starting in 1949, the year of the first UC creation in the Cerrado, until the end of 2010. The methodological procedures adopted consisted of a bibliographic survey, secondary databases consultation and data processing in a GIS environment. The results show that the distribution of UC is not regular in either space or time. In addition, many units correspond to isolated fragments of vegetation, with no connection to other areas and/or are of smaller dimensions, making it difficult to maintain the ecosystems present in them. In the national scenario, the Cerrado stands out in relation to the number and area of protected ones, which reinforces its important role in Brazilian conservation policies.
Desafíos viejos y nuevos para las normas generales del Código de Derecho Canónico
Authors: Rhode Ulrich
Published: December 2022

Al igual que los otros libros del Código, también las normas generales merecen una revisión para ver si conviene adaptarlas a las circunstancias cambiantes. Tales circunstancias incluyen los avances en la ciencia jurídica civil (p. ej., con respecto a la teoría de los actos jurídicos y los actos administrativos), desarrollos de la doctrina de la Iglesia (p. ej., con respecto a la sinodalidad), progresos tecnológicos (como la revolución digital) y cuestiones fundamentales cuya respuesta no resulta tan sencilla como se pensaba (como la cuestión de los criterios para ser considerado varón o mujer).
Reforma postcodicial en el pontificado del papa Francisco sobre la vida consagrada
Authors: Moral Carvajal Delfina
Published: December 2022

El derecho sigue a la vida. El derecho canónico es el derecho de la Iglesia, por lo que éste se ha de ir adaptando a las nuevas circunstancias y exigencias, a veces urgentes, de sus fieles. Prueba de ello ha sido la gran producción canónica del magisterio sobre la vida consagrada. En este artículo nos limitaremos a examinar los documentos normativos emanados por la Santa Sede bajo el pontificado del papa Francisco sobre la vida consagrada. En concreto analizamos el contenido y alcance jurídico de las intervenciones pontificias y pronunciamientos postcodiciales de la CIVCSVA que han comportado modificaciones del texto normativo. A través de sus intervenciones la Iglesia manifiesta su estima y cuidado hacia una determinada porción del pueblo de Dios, la vida consagrada. En línea con el principio Ecclesia semper reformanda, si la vida consagrada quiere seguir siendo significativa, ha de estar en un continuo proceso de revisión y actualización para responder a las nuevas situaciones y desafíos sociales y eclesiales.
La celebración de los sacramentos en un mundo digital
Authors: San José Prisco José
Published: December 2022

A cuarenta años de la promulgación del Código, han surgido en los últimos años algunas cuestiones relacionadas con la celebración de los sacramentos que precisan una respuesta desde el derecho canónico, muchas de ellas relacionadas con el uso del entorno virtual y del mundo digital. Después de abordar algunos aspectos de carácter general sobre la celebración virtual de los sacramentos, el artículo se centra fundamentalmente en tres problemas: con referencia a la eucaristía, la participación en la celebración virtual de la misa y la posibilidad o no de la consagración «a distancia»; y con referencia al sacramento de la reconciliación, la posibilidad o no de administrar la absolución por medios telemáticos.
Agenda per una evoluzione della giustizia amministrativa canonica
Authors: Montini Gianpaolo
Published: December 2022

Nel contesto della tematica delle sfide che attendono il diritto della Chiesa quarant’anni dopo la promulgazione del Codice vigente, l’articolo si propone di preconizzare l’evoluzione auspicata della giustizia amministrativa canonica, ripartendo le responsabilità dell’agenda tra i vari soggetti della missione della Chiesa, a partire dai fedeli fino al Legislatore supremo e universale. L’evoluzione del sistema di giustizia amministrativa — forse come ogni altro ambito del diritto — non può essere caricato sulle spalle del solo legislatore, ma è opera corale: dai fedeli che devono sviluppare una maggiore coscienza dei propri diritti di partecipazione della missione della Chiesa, agli avvocati che devono operare con maggiore competenza e coraggio, ai Dicasteri della Curia Romana che devono maggiormente proceduralizzare i ricorsi gerarchici, ai Vescovi diocesani che devono sviluppare normative più efficaci di conciliazione. L’articolo espone in particolare alcune proposte per una evoluzione della giurisprudenza del Supremo Tribunale della Segnatura Apostolica e la proposta che il Legislatore supremo e universale consenta l’istituzione di tribunali amministrativi locali su richiesta di singole Conferenze episcopali.
A Novel Context for Project-Based Learning
Authors: Espana Cristina , Soosaar Reet
Published: December 2022

The implementation of the European Union’s Erasmus Plus (E+) Program has resulted in the possibility of joint initiatives across-borders led by teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), who can bring classroom practice closer to education as a key area for employability and prepare students for work and communication in multicultural and multilingual settings. Thus, a novel context for project-based learning (PjBL) has emerged, which allows for experimentation, innovation, and research in the classroom. To illustrate this concept, Project Estonia is presented in this paper, introducing interconnected project work to provide a purposeful, real-world experience that extends the classroom setting beyond national frontiers.
Indigenous, Settler, Animal; a Triadic Approach
Authors: Probyn-Rapsey Fiona , Russell Lynette
Published: December 2022

In his Indigenous critique of the field of animal studies, Billy-Ray Belcourt (Driftpile Cree Nation) describes it as having an analytic blind spot when it comes to settler-colonialism, a blind spot that manifests through universalising claims and clumsy arguments about ‘shared’ oppressions, through assumptions that settler colonial political institutions can be a neutral part of the solution, and through a failure to engage with ‘Indigenous studies of other than human life’ (20). In the same article, he calls on decolonial projects to do more to include animality within their purview, to include critiques of animal agriculture and to incorporate critiques of anthropocentrism as ‘a key logic of white supremacy’. Belcourt’s critique of both Animal studies and decolonial projects on the basis of an unequal but mutual marginalisation is an important starting point for research projects like ours that hope to bring Animal studies and Indigenous studies approaches into dialogue about the cultural impacts of introduced animals. Our approach sets out to be ‘triadic’, always involving at least three sides; Settler- Coloniser, Indigene and Animal.

Herausforderungen und Erfahrungen der ortaufgelösten Erfassung des Verschleißzustandes von Rollenketten
Authors: Wimmer Florian
Published: December 2022

Der wichtigste Verschleißzustand bei Stahlgelenkketten ist die Kettenlängung, die sichwährend der Betriebszeit durch die Gelenkbewegung laufend ändert und durch das CCM-S kontinuierlich und digital erfasst werden kann. Durch stetigen Materialabtrag an den Kontaktstellen vergrößern sich die Abstände von Bolzen zu Bolzen. Je nach Anforderungen an den Kettentrieb wird die zulässige durchschnittliche Längung der Kette auf einen definierten Prozentwert begrenzt. Dieser liegt häufig unter dem maximal für einen sicheren Betrieb zulässigen Wert von 3 Prozent.Allerdings kann aufgrund unterschiedlichster Einflüsse die Längung in den Gliedern bzw.Segmenten einer Kette deutlich variieren. Die Auflösung der Kettenlänge in einzelne Segmente wird durch die CCM-S Zusatzfunktion „SLE“ (Segment Link Elongation) ermöglicht. Insbesondere in hochpräzisen Kettentrieben, in denen zwei Förderketten zum Transport von Formen oder Werkstückträgern eingesetzt werden, kommt es auf die Parallelität der Ketten an. Trotz durchschnittlich geringer Kettenlängung kann es durch Inhomogenität in den einzelnen Gliedern zu Ausfällen und Stillstandzeiten in den Anwendungen kommen. Der Vortrag fokussiert hierbei auf eine spezielle, auf Stahlgelenkketten angepasste Sensorik. Es wird das Prinzip zur Erfassung der durchschnittlichen Kettenlängung sowie der Längung einzelner Kettensegmente (SLE) beschrieben. Verschiedene Anwendungsszenarien werden vorgestellt und die Messergebnisse diskutiert.Bei der Weitergabe der Daten kommt das im IIOT-Umfeld etablierte Protokoll IO-Link zum Einsatz. Dafür wurden bereits verschiedene Systeme umfangreich getestet und Erfahrungen in verschiedenen Kundenanwendungen gesammelt. Hierzu werden die verschiedenen Einsatzmöglichkeiten diskutiert.
Endverbindungen von kunststoffummantelten Faserseilen
Authors: Heinze Thorsten , Halle Tobias
Published: December 2022

Hochleistungsfaserseile sind gegenüber Stahldrahtseilen ? bei gleichem Durchmesser ? fünf bis sechs Mal leichter und weisen dennoch vergleichbare oder bessere Festigkeits- und Biegeeigenschaften auf. Um die hauchdünnen Fasern vor äußeren Einflüssen wie Oberflächenverschleiß, abrasiven oder fluiden Fremdstoffen und UV-Strahlung zu schützen, können Seile mit einem monolithischen Kunststoffmantel ausgerüstet werden. Durch den Einsatz von besonders verschleißarmen thermoplastischen Polyurethanen, Additiven zur Verhinderung elektrostatischer Aufladungen und UV-Blockern entstehen Hochleistungsfaserseile die völlig neue Gestaltungs- und Einsatzmöglichkeiten eröffnen.

Gleichwohl stellen die Endverbindungen dieser Seile eine besondere Herausforderung dar. Aus diesem Grund haben die Seilflechter Tauwerk GmbH und die TROWIS GmbH gemeinsam Seilendverbindungen getestet und ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse hinsichtlich Installationsaufwand, Festigkeit und Haltbarkeit sollen in diesem Vortrag vorgestellt und anwendungsspezifische Empfehlungen abgeleitet werden.

Published: December 2022

O artigo se alia à temática da Educação do Campo, com atenção para a educação nos Assentamentos de Reforma Agrária e o direito ao Ensino Superior. O objetivo é refletir sobre vivências e aprendizagens de jovens assentados(as) da região do Vale do Rio Doce, em Minas Gerais, Brasil, marcada pela luta pela terra e pela cultura migratória, cujo acesso ao Ensino Superior coloca-os(as) na condição de migrantes. Adota-se como referencial teórico estudos sobre Educação do Campo e juventude do campo, território, migração, em diálogo com a teoria da relação com o saber.  Os dados foram produzidos a partir da construção de relatos biográficos e entrevistas orais. A análise explicita a trajetória educacional em direção ao Ensino Superior, vínculos territoriais, vivências e aprendizagens por meio de “figuras do aprender” (Charlot, 2000, 2009, 2021). Foram identificadas como figuras do aprender no movimento de Estar Lá (na Venezuela, na Universidade) e, ao mesmo tempo, Estar Aqui (no Brasil, no Assentamento): a rotina, a militância e o retorno. Os resultados evidenciam que as vivências e as aprendizagens em outro país dos(as) jovens assentados(as) reafirmam sua identidade territorial, e eles(as) desejam, a partir da qualificação como médicos(as), retornar para o país de origem.

A wind turbine blade is an essential system of wind energy production. During the operation of the blade, it is subjected to loads resulting from the impact of the wind on the surface of the blade. This leads to appear large deflections and high fatigue stresses in the structure of blades. In this paper, a 5 kW horizontal axis wind turbine blade model is designed and optimized using a new MATLAB code based on blade element momentum (BEM) theory.The aerodynamic shape of the blade has been improved compared with the initial design, the wind turbine power has been increased by 7% and the power coefficient has been increased by 8%.  The finite Element Method was used to calculate the loads applied to the blade based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and BEM theory.High agreements were obtained between the results of both approaches (CFD and BEM).The ANSYS software was also used to simulate and optimize the structure of the blade by applying variable static loads 3.3, 6, and 8.3 kg and compared the results with the experimental results. It was reduced the maximum deflectionswith 37%, 42.85%, and 42.61% when using CFRP material and 4.5%, 15.45%, and 16.19% for GFRP material that corresponds to the applied forces. Based on the results, the mass of the optimized model decreased by 47.86% for GFRP and 71.24% for CFRP. IEC 61400.2 standard was used to estimate thefatigue loads, damage, blade life prediction, and verify blade safety usinga Simplified Load Model(SLM) and FAST software. It was found that the blade will be safe under extreme wind loads, and the lifetime of the wind blade (GFRP) is 5.5 years and 10.25 years,according to SLM and FAST software, respectively. At the same time, the lifetime of the wind blade (CFRP)is more than 20 years, according to the two applied methods.
Transforming the Pandemic into a gateway for zeroing waste-related emissions at the University of Colombo, Sri Lanka
Authors: Lokupitiya Erandathie , Siriwardhana Sandani
Published: December 2022

The University of Colombo (UoC) has turned the Covid-19 pandemic into a win-win situation by adopting new measures to overcome limitations the pandemic has brought in while improving its overall waste management. It has incorporated a paperless system by conducting academic work online, including applying for new courses, distributing e-learning material and submitting assignments. Every lecture, meeting, and function has been held virtually, eliminating food, paper, plastic and decoration waste. Students now study from home and employees have been reporting to work according to rosters, reducing food and office waste generation significantly. The employees now adhere to the pre- and newly included post-pandemic environmental guidelines, litterless lunches, and have been provided with shuttle services for safer commuting, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Identifying the potential environmental damage through improper disposal, using reusable masks is being promoted through regular online awareness programmes; eco-friendly sanitizers are used instead of liquid soap, which consumes water and generates wastewater. Although the amount of waste generated during the pandemic is low, the UoC-owned Waste Storage Center continues to function with waste segregation and recycling, and the composting facility is currently expanding its production. The waste reduction has also caused lowered waste-related greenhouse gas emissions.Keyword: Waste Management, Paperless System, Guidelines, Waste Storage Center, Segregation and Recycling

Published: December 2022

This paper aims to contribute in outlining the latest findings and formulating a simple practice in providing sufficient air circulation for classroom activities in preparation for the post-pandemic era. During this pandemic, remote learning over the internet has been a viable solution everywhere, including adopted by education institution to keep serving the learning process. However, as more and more people involved and the time elapses, several disadvantages of e-learning are realized. In addition, education institution should be prepared for the upcoming offline learning activity in post-pandemic era. This paper aims to refine the minimum airflow requirement for the classroom, finetuned based on student activity, ceiling height. Student activity is being the focus rather than teacher because student represents the majority of classroom occupant. In addition, a discussion on how it can be achieved using simpler ventilation system is presented. ON/OFF scheme for the usage of the active ventilation is also elaborated.Keyword: classroom, post-pandemic era, ventilation system, air circulation.

Authors: Lomelí Ricardo Villanueva , Gutiérrez Paola Lyccette Corona , González Rafael Serrano
Published: December 2022

From the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico, the University of Guadalajara (UdeG) placed its infrastructure, —particularly schools, laboratories, research centers and institutes, and departments related to the areas of health and human resources— at the service of civil authorities and the population in general. Before any other public university in Mexico, UdeG implemented and published measures to prevent COVID-19 infections, which began with the suspension of public meetings and face-to-face activities, and the installation of a Health Situation Room, and which continued with the Enabling of the Active COVID-19 Detection System, the reconversion of the Civil Hospitals of Guadalajara, until reaching the Design of the Vaccination Plan, to name a few. The objective of this article is to describe how actions related to the management of the university environment and infrastructure not only put the largest state public university in the country at people’s service as never before, but also about how we have been forced to reconceptualize the mission and vision of higher education based on the needs identified during the pandemic, from a humanistic, integrative, unitary, global and interdisciplinary perspective.Keyword: COVID-19, universities, setting and infrastructure, health sciences, innovation
