The experience of team coaching: A dual case study
Authors: Carr Catherine , Peters Jacqueline
Published: January 2023

Objective:

This paper presents a dual case study of leadership team coaching with one government and one corporate team. The authors discuss the findings and propose a new high performance team coaching model.

Design:

In this study, the researchers documented and compared the experience of team coaching between their two leadership teams using a qualitative case study methodology that tracked the participants’ experiences.

Methods:

The case study data were collected through three triangulated methods: semi-structured team member interviews; case study notes and observations; and a collaborative journal.

Results:

The analysis of the separate case studies resulted in a rich description of the team coaching experience for two teams. The findings revealed valuable coaching elements that were common between the cases and linked to the literature, including the importance of: (i) a team charter and working agreements; (ii) full participation; (iii) coach manner and actions; (iv) a team launch; and, (v) coaching structure and follow-up. Six changes that participants identified included improvements in: (i) collaboration and productivity; (ii) relationships; (iii) personal learning; (iv) communication and participation; (v) impact beyond the team; and (vi) peer coaching.

Conclusions:

These participant’s descriptions of team coaching offer insight into valuable aspects of team coaching that informed the proposed evidence-based high performance team coaching model. The model can be used and studied by team coaching practitioners and researchers alike.

‘He must have been bad because no one I saw supported him’: Social networking site social comparisons of opinion and adolescent identity development
Authors: Noon Edward John
Published: January 2023

There is emerging evidence which suggests that when young people use social networking sites, they make social comparisons of opinion to support identity development. In an attempt to further understand this phenomenon, the present qualitative investigation drew upon semi-structured interviews with two female adolescents. Findings of an interpretive phenomenological analysis suggest that respondents generally compared their opinions to similar others in an attempt to increase self-certainty and engender a sense of belonging, while disengaging with, and/or distancing themselves from, dissimilar others. Further research is required to determine whether this is an ongoing trend among adolescent social networking site users.

Graduate dreams without graduate schemes: A critical look at graduate leadership prospects in psychology
Authors: Talib Almas
Published: January 2023

This article will argue that widely accepted ‘objective’ and ‘systems-based’ accounts of leadership are far from value-neutral. Here I offer a critical analysis to dissect how concepts of leadership contribute to the reproduction of systems of power within the world of work, focusing specifically on the field of psychology. I do this from the perspective of a psychology graduate navigating employment and career progression in the context of the UK. In doing so, I aim to show how success and leadership are closely married to economically productive work. I describe how this manifested in career opportunities available to me and my peers during university, shedding light on how students from some degrees and disciplines end up being more ‘employable’ than others. The implications of this culture on social change and human wellbeing are discussed, and it is argued that radical changes in understandings of leadership are needed in psychology to resist the profit-oriented working world.
On understanding the role and significance of a key two-person relationship in sport and executive coaching
Authors: Jowett Sophia , O’Broin Alanna , Palmer Stephen
Published: January 2023

The importance of the role of the relationship between the coach and the individual has been emphasised in the literatures of both sports coaching and executive coaching. Two relationship models from the sport psychology and coaching psychology domains respectively that share an assumption of the centrality of the relationship to the coaching process; that have been used in research to assess associations with important outcomes; and share similarities at conceptual, operational and measurement levels were compared and contrasted. Both models highlight affective ties of closeness and bond for effective coaching outcome, and reflected potential synergies in the area of co-operation, as well as possibly diverging on their emphasis on the chronological sequence of the development of bond in relation to other aspects of the relationship. It is concluded that cross-fertilisation of ideas across psychological disciplines and future work with both models may be useful in contributing to the extant literature in their own and the other’s domain in promoting our understanding of the purposive and collaborative work of coaching and in establishing, developing and maintaining effective and successful relationships.
Elite rugby league players’ attitudes towards sport psychology consulting
Authors: Green Matthew , Morgan Gareth , Manley Andrew
Published: January 2023

The primary aim of this study was to investigate elite rugby league players’ attitudes towards sport psychology consulting. A secondary aim was to understand the extent to which these attitudes might impact on the utilisation of psychological services in elite rugby league. A purposive sample of elite rugby league players (N=8) participated in a semi-structured interview designed to explore their knowledge, attitudes and experiences of sport psychology support. A general inductive analysis of the qualitative data was performed. Results show that despite the participants displaying positive attitudes and expressing a willingness to engage psychological services, many have concerns regarding how they will be perceived by significant others. Despite all participants describing their own use of specific mental skills in preparation for competition, only one participant confirmed having access to a full-time sport psychologist. Many participants indicated that attitudes of coaches and senior management are a key factor in the apparent lack of provision of psychological services within elite rugby league.

Coaching the brain: Neuro-science or neuro-nonsense?
Authors: Grant Anthony M.
Published: January 2023

This paper discusses some myths and misconceptions that have emerged in relation to neuroscience and coaching, and explores the notion that neuroscience provides a foundational evidence-base for coaching, and that neurocoaching is a unique or original coaching methodology. It is found that much of the insights into coaching purported to be delivered by neuroscience are long-established within the behavioural sciences. Furthermore, the empirical and conceptual links between neuroscientific findings and actual coaching practice are tenuous at best. Although at present there is no convincing empirical support for a neuroscientific foundation to coaching, there are important ways in which coaching and neuroscience can interact. There is good evidence that solution-focused cognitive-behavioural (SF-CB) coaching can reliably induce specific behavioural and cognitive changes. SF-CB coaching could thus be used as a methodology to experimentally induce specific changes including greater self-insight and better relations with others. Subsequent changes in brain structure or brain activity could then be observed. This has potential to be of great value to the neuroscience enterprise by providing more hard evidence for concepts such as neuroplasticity and brain-region function-specificity. It may well be that coaching can be of greater use to the field of neuroscience than the field of neuroscience can be to coaching. In this way we can address many neuromyths and misconceptions about brain-based coaching, and begin to author a more accurate and productive narrative about the relationship between coaching and neuroscience.
What can realist evaluation tell us about how coaching interventions work?
Authors: Kovacs Louise , Corrie Sarah
Published: January 2023

This article introduces realist evaluation and makes the case that it is a useful addition to more traditional approaches to evaluating the effectiveness of coaching interventions. Realist evaluation is discussed in the context of current trends in evaluation and an overview of the realist evaluation approach is given. A case study provides a brief illustration of how this approach goes beyond asking whether an intervention works, towards an enquiry into what makes coaching effective for whom and in what circumstances. The article concludes with a summary of the challenges and complexities of applying this emerging paradigm to coaching and coaching psychology.

A grounded theory study of how executive coaches help professionals deal with workplace intimidation
Authors: Fields Arlesia
Published: January 2023

Purpose: Research has identified the problem of workplace intimidation and its impact, both on individuals and organisations. However, a gap exists in the research literature regarding effective solutions for targets of workplace intimidation, or how executive coaching may be used as an intervention in such circumstances.

Design: A qualitative approach was taken, using a grounded theory design to explore how executive coaches help professionals deal with ongoing hostile behaviour and language at work.

Method: Individual interviews were conducted with ten participants, drawn from North America, Australia and Europe. All ten were postgraduate educated practicing executive coaches.

Results: Five core themes emerged from analysis of the qualitative data: Emotion-focused solutions, self and situational awareness, problem-focused solutions, future vision and use of coaching relationship.

Conclusion: Exploration of these themes has led to the emergence of a new theory to understand the process of how executive coaches help targets of workplace intimidation: the ‘Theory of Strengthening and Shift’. It is argued that working through the four phases of this model would allow executive coaches to aid clients facing workplace intimidation.
Distinctions in practice within coaching in Scotland
Authors: Tee David , Passmore Jonathan , Brown Hazel
Published: January 2023

This research sought to identify distinctions in the practice of coaches within Scotland. A survey design was adopted, with a snowball sampling strategy generating 74 responses. The data from coaches within Scotland, compared with that from respondents in other European nations, suggest that: a greater proportion of the Scottish coaching community are male, that coaches commonly evaluate at the end of every meeting and also seek feedback from commissioning managers as well as clients, that there are numerous approaches to coaching and also to continuous professional development that are less widely adopted in Scotland, that the reputation of the coaching provider is often an important factor for those commissioning coaching and that there are preferences for certain coaching models when presented with particular client issues. Recommendations are made for future analytical research to identify causal factors for any phenomena that can be cautiously determined from this data set.

Developing the ability to self-manage in coaching supervision
Authors: Hardin Kara , Gehlert Kurt M.
Published: January 2023

This paper explores how coaching supervision develops the coach’s ability to use themself effectively and successfully in coaching work. The aim is to contribute to the important conversations already occurring in coaching psychology regarding supervision by linking them to the well-developed dialogue of ‘use of self’ existent in counselling related disciplines. The following is a thought piece meant to begin to fill the gap between theory and practice in coaching psychology supervision. Specifically, drawing from more established helping disciplines, it is clear that the helper’s ability to use themself effectively is an integral part of client outcomes and change. Supervision has emerged as a fruitful way to develop the particular skill of ‘use of self’. In coaching psychology, the idea of ‘self-management’ captures the essence of ‘use of self’. The following discussion extrapolates from more established helping disciplines to make the case that coaching psychology supervision is integral to the development of the coach’s ability to self-manage, and as such, to the professional and ethical standards of training and practicing coaches.
A road resisted: ‘Fakers’ in executive coaching and how to avoid wasting company resources on them
Authors: Wasylyshyn Karol M.
Published: January 2023

While executive coaching (EC) persists as a major development resource for senior business leaders, an untold story is that some leaders actually ‘fake’ their participation. In doing so, they fail to evolve as leaders and they waste company resources. This article discusses key ‘faking’ factors and underscores the criteria of ideal executive coaching clients – especially those who are focused on making behavioural changes that will strengthen their leadership effectiveness. Finally, a convenient checklist is provided for company EC decision makers as a tool for getting the most from executive coaching (i.e. not wasting executive development resources on EC).
How to design and conduct quantitative coaching intervention research
Authors: Skews Rachael
Published: January 2023

For the coaching research agenda to support evidence-based practitioners, coaching research needs to provide the best possible external research evidence to support practitioners in answering particular questions of interest. Quantitative coaching research has an important role to play in supporting evidence-based practitioners to answer questions around the efficacy and generalisability of coaching interventions. This paper outlines three key criteria for designing and conducting rigorous quantitative coaching intervention studies: (i) methodological rigour in the study design; (ii) rigour in outcome measurement in coaching intervention studies; and (iii) investigating processes of change in coaching interventions. The intention is that coaching psychology researchers can use these methodological recommendations to design quantitative coaching intervention studies that meet criteria for quality and rigour in the future.
The GROWS model: Extending the GROW coaching model to support behavioural change
Authors: Panchal Sasikala , Riddell Patricia
Published: January 2023

Coaching models like the popular GROW model provide processes designed to increase the likelihood of change (Whitmore, 2009). Despite the use of such models, changing behaviour can still be difficult. One possible explanation for this is that important aspects of behavioural change are not captured by the GROW model. There has been substantial research into behavioural change in the domain of health initiatives, and this has given rise to Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) (Schwarzer, 2008). This model considers two phases of behavioural change; initiation (in which change is planned) and action (in which new actions are put in place). It is in this second phase that the HAPA model provides new processes that might benefit coaching for behavioural change. The authors adapted key components of the HAPA, in order to incorporate these into the GROW model. They tested this new model on four coaching clients to determine whether this model supports coachees to initiate and maintain behavioural change, and develop recovery strategies when obstacles are encountered. Results suggest that clients found the GROWS model more effective since proactive elicitation of strategies to overcome potential obstacles and recovery from setbacks led to more successful initiation and completion of goals. All levels of self-efficacy tested contributed to this result. The authors share a selection of the HAPA-based coaching questions that can be used to implement this new approach. It is hoped that coaches can use these to support their coachees to develop more sustainable behavioural change.
Promoting wellbeing through the emerging specialism of health and wellness coaching
Authors: Cosgrove Fiona , Corrie Sarah
Published: January 2023

A review of the literature has shown that the rapid growth of health and wellness coaching has gone hand in hand with the growing needs of a population struggling with lifestyle-related diseases. Yet many questions remain unanswered concerning the defining characteristics of the discipline, the background and qualifications required to deliver health and wellness coaching and whether it is effective. This article explores the current status of the discipline and attempts to clarify the scope of this intervention, who is delivering it and the evidence base for its role in supporting lifestyle change and potentially reducing chronic illness. The article highlights the need for further investigation into the effectiveness of health and wellness coaching as well as the need to establish internationally agreed standards for the design of coaching interventions and the way in which coaches are trained.
Evaluation of a public service Coaching Summit as an organisational professional development activity
Authors: Elizabeth Hartney
Published: January 2023

Introduction:This article outlines the key findings of an evaluation of a Coaching Summit, which took place as a professional development activity in the public service of a province in Western Canada. The summit provided a combination of coaching learning opportunities through formal presentations and facilitated experiential exercises, with direct experiences of coaching practice focused on specific areas of focus relevant to public service work.

Methods:Borton’s (1970) framework guiding reflective activities was used to develop a ‘what – so what – now what?’ approach to reflective activities used in evaluating the summit. This was used to develop questionnaires, which included five-item Likert scales, which were completed for all presentations and activities. Qualitative data were collected confidentially through open-ended comment sections on the questionnaires, and on a large wall mural.

Results:The findings show that the summit was an effective approach to employee engagement for participants, introducing the practice of coaching through experiential professional development, and providing a positive impact on work through tools and ideas for improving team functioning.

Discussion:The findings were consistent with coaching research with public service employees in other jurisdictions, in particular, the role of coaching in developing trust within the organisation. Limitations include the self-selected nature of the participants who attended the summit and those who provided written evaluations.

Conclusion:The Coaching Summit format is a promising approach to engaging employees in a large public service organisation and can provide coaching-oriented professional development opportunities to a large number of employees in a relatively intimate setting.

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF APREMILAST IN MODERATE TO SEVERE CASES OF CHRONIC PLAQUE PSORIASIS: A RETROSPECTIVE STUDY
Authors: KHAN S , FAROOQ M , TARIQ F , AHMED R , ASLAM MA
Published: January 2023

The objective of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of Apremilast in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis. A retrospective study was conducted in the Dermatology Department of Bakhtawar Amin Trust Hospital Multan from September 2021 to September 2022. A total of 102 patients were included in the study after evaluation. Apremilast was administered in all the patients, and its clinical response was assessed by the extent of Psoriasis Area Severity Index (PASI) reduction 16 weeks after the start of treatment. Our secondary endpoints included examining the PASI; Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI); Physician Global Assessment (PGA); the adverse effects of treatment; survival rate; reasons for discontinuation of treatment, if any, and the rate of patients who managed to reach Psoriasis Area Severity Index reduction up to 50%, 75%, 90% and 100% after 16 weeks. 37 (72.5%) subjects achieved PASI reduction ≥75% or ≥50%, thus achieving the primary endpoint. The majority of the study sample had moderate psoriasis, with a mean baseline  DLQI score of 11.2, PASI score of 11.0 and PGA score 2.6. After 16 weeks, 65% subjects had PGA score ≤1. PASI improved rapidly over 4 (4.8) (P<.001) to 16 weeks (4.3) (P<.001). DLQI at baseline was 11.2; after 16 weeks, it was 3.8 (P<.001). Regarding secondary endpoints, after 16 weeks, 35/37 (94.5%) subjects achieved ΔPASI≥50, 18/37 (48.6%) ΔPASI≥75, 8/37 (21.6%) achieved ΔPASI≥90 and 6/37(16.2%) achieved ΔPASI100. Treatment-related adverse effects occurred in 16/51 (31.3%) patients. In total, treatment was stopped in 6 (11.6%)subjects because of adverse effects; gastrointestinal disorders were the most common. Apremilast is an effective and safe drug for the treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis.
An importance of respiratory drive and effort during mechanical ventilation
Authors: Theerawit Pongdhep , Soipetkasem Phruet
Published: January 2023

During mechanical ventilation, minimizing respiratory drive and effort becomes routine to prevent patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA). As we know, PAV associates with poor outcomes in ICU patients. As a result, prescribing sedative drugs in combination with neuro-muscular blocking agents commonly appears in many ICUs. However, many patients develop adverse events from unloading respiratory muscles, resulting in prolonged mechanical ventilator and bad clinical outcomes. This review describes both sides of the adverse effect of respiratory drive and effort and tries to suggest the optimum point, believing that it may be associated with better outcomes.
Data-Driven Learning Tasks and Involvement Load Hypothesis
Authors: Alanazi Zaha
Published: January 2023

Despite the increasing research on the benefits of using corpora in language teaching and learning, Data-Driven Learning (henceforth, DDL) research has been criticized for its lack of contribution to second language theories. This paper intends to address this gap by examining the assumptions of Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) using two DDL tasks with different cognitive loads. Learners were assigned to one of two conditions: reading only or translation. Based on ILH, translation is more effective than reading in learning vocabulary, as it induces more cognitive involvement (Laufer & Hulstjin, 2001). The two groups received a pretest to ensure their unfamiliarity with six target words. Each group underwent one instructional session under one of the two conditions. After the session, students took three immediate post tests on the six target items: active recall of form, passive recall of meaning, and production. Contrary to the expectations of ILH, the results of the immediate post tests showed no statistically significant difference in the mean of vocabulary knowledge between the two groups. In addition, in the delayed test, the reading-only group showed statistically higher scores in the active recall of form than their translation peers. The findings highlight some important theoretical and pedagogical implications for using DDL tasks, particularly for EFL vocabulary learning.
The Effects of Morphological Awareness on L2 Vocabulary Knowledge of Thai EFL Young Learners
Authors: Matwangsaeng Rangsawoot , Sukying Apisak
Published: January 2023

Morphological awareness (MA) is the ability to recognize words, identify the association between lexically attached parts of a word and create new lexical forms. Morphological instruction mediates the acquisition of new words and is, therefore, crucial for developing morphological awareness and vocabulary knowledge. Currently, the receptive-productive continuum of MA remains unclear, especially in an EFL context. This quasi-experimental study investigates how MA instruction affects the acquisition of morphologically complicated words and its impact on vocabulary knowledge among young Thai EFL learners. Six receptive and productive MA measures and four vocabulary knowledge measures were administered to 221 EFL young learners. While participants in the control group did not get this instruction, participants in the experimental group received explicit teaching on morphological awareness. A repeated measures ANOVA (with scores on several aspects of affixes as the dependent variable) with experimental and control cohorts and a repeated measure (time point) was conducted to probe Thai young EFL learners’ morphological awareness and vocabulary knowledge. The findings demonstrated an encouraging effect of MA teaching in English language classrooms. Specifically, the participants in the experimental group showed improved performance in both receptive and productive MA. This suggests that the explicit instruction of morphologies may benefit English learners in understanding words and ease vocabulary acquisition. Other implications of these findings are debated, considering current pedagogical practice and theory.

Melanin: Definition, Cause and Its Role in Atlantic Salmon-A Review
Authors: Hossain Khandakar Zakir
Published: January 2023

Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L) is the major important species in salmonid families. But for the disease issue, farmers are losing a large number of fish and income. Melanin in fillet is one cause for the loss of the processing industries. The cause of melanin spot are related to the use of vaccines containing oil adjuvants (Fagerland et al., 2013), but other factors such as environmental conditions, genetics and diseases (Bjerkeng, 2000) also appear to play a role. The pigmentary and the immune systems are related each other. Larsen et al. (2012) reported that the melanogenesis occurs in muscle-located granulomas, which represents an association between the immune and pigmentary systems. Melanin spot in fish fillet or organs create many problems to farmers and processing industries. Consumers do not prefer spotted fillet so processing industries need to cut off the defected part of the fillet, as a result, they face some loss in their product production. Addition of Vitamin C, E and selenium in feed can contribute to reduce the number and size of the melanin spot (Wang, 2016).

This experiment was inquired to apprehend the associated relationship among the cell weight, chlorophyll a and total biomass production of Spirulina platensis grown in different concentration of digested rotten guava medium (DRGM) and kosaric medium (KM). This study was carried out to disclose the culture potentiality of different substrates and their impact on production through the assessment of their consequential correlation. The completely randomized design (CRD) was taken into consideration to accomplish the experiment in laboratory condition. The maximum cell weight was assumed in KM (12.41 ± 0.23) followed by 0.816 ± 0.0017, 0.813 ± 0.0013 and 0.807± 0.0011 mg/L in supernatant of 60%, 20% and 40% DRGM, respectively on the 10th day of culture. The correlation (P< 0.01) with the chlorophyll a content (r = 0.745) and total biomass (r = 0.741) revealed significant association and strong correlation with the obtained cell weight in these culture media. In kosaric medium, the growth performance was significantly higher (P<0.01) than that of grown in the different concentration of DRGM (60%, 40% and 20%). The content of chlorophyll a grown in KM (10.54 ± 0.33 mg/L) was significantly higher (P< 0.01) in comparison of 60% (0.863 ± 0.0018), 40% (0.769 ± 0.0015) and 20% DRGM (0.771 ± 0.13). The highest biomass of S. platensis was acquired in KM (705.52 ± 2.59 mg/L) and varied significantly (P < 0.05) than that of cultured in supernatants of 20% (67.76 ± 0.42), 40% (51.45 ± 0.26) and 60% (57.74 ± 0.26) DRGM. The culture techniques in DRG medium may dwindle the cost of production in comparison with KM and might be considered as a media for Spirulina platensis cultivation.
Technical-Economic-Institutional Diagram of a Micro-Hydroelectric Power Station in Electrified Areas: Case Study in the Lingang-Foto Site of Cameroon

Published: January 2023

Access to electricity, reliable energy supply, and environmental protection are key elements that support economic development around the world. In most of Sub-Saharan African countries, the production deficit is a key issue. In addition, the network is made of long distance power lines, leading to huge voltage drops and frequent power cuts in remote electrified areas. Most of these areas offer a wealth of micro hydro power potential. It hence happens that the development of such project in an environment not prepared should address many issues from the technical, the economic and the institutional point of view. The aim of this paper is to examine how we could contribute to the design and development of such a project while taking into account the related constraints. From the findings and the literature review, we have suggested for each core aspect how we might overcome some difficulties. Given the similarity of the network architecture in remote areas in Africa, we have focused on one 148 kW case study in Cameroon to illustrate the implementation of the results. We got a 6.5$cents/kWh cost-effective project from an initial investment of 480 509USD with the need to use robust and simple equipment and the need to adjust the regulations. Since power cut is harmful and a hence issue for a grid connected plant, we have also designed an architecture to address this issue of load shedding from the grid.

The rate of penetration (ROP) is one of the most important factors in improving drilling efficiency, is a measure of the speed or the progress of the drill bit when it drills subsurface formation. The study will be conducted with the input data sets of ROP, WOB, RPM, and all drilling data provided. To maximize the accuracy. In this paper, i collected data related to the rate of penetration from three wells in three different fields in Libya, and these fields are (Al-Sarir “the largest field in North Africa” - Amal field - Al-Sharara field). In the second stage, we will build an ROP model to compare the results of the rate of penetration in each well and each field. Finally, we make a recommendation on the best equation for each field, which gives results that are close to reality To be used to predict the rate of penetration in the future.
Touch – Feel – Experience – Consider

Published: January 2023

The last two decades have brought a visible and perceptible change in artistic printmaking practices. Besides traditional forms of presentation, i.e., framed or unframed print on paper or any other surface, we may observe new ways of interacting with viewers, who become more and more involved in transforming themselves into active participants or even co-producers of the artistic project. This paper focuses on such artistic proposals, and if more classical artworks are mentioned, the reason is their non-traditional aspects like provocative visual play with viewers’ perceptions.

Those formal aspects of analysed artistic examples are linked to the ideas expressed by the artists in question, which revolve around different crises and catastrophes that humanity is facing today. The leitmotiv of the general approach represented by Sean Caulfield, Karol Pomykała or Angela Snieder is related to the postulate posed by Jean-Luc Nancy (2015, p. 8), that:

"We are being exposed to a catastrophe of meaning. Let’s not hurry to hide this exposure under pink, blue, red, or black silks. Let us remain exposed, and let us think about what is happening [ce qui nous arrive] to us: Let us think that it is we who are arriving, or who are leaving."
We Are in Record. The Temporality of Print/Making
Authors: Fitzhugh Annis
Published: January 2023

"This is the Time. And this is the record of the time. This is the Time. And this is the record of the time."

Laurie Anderson

In 2014, Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam took these lyrics of Laurie Anderson’s as a cue for an exhibition by artists investigating ‘to what extent the recording mechanisms and material recordings of our lived times represent and influence our perception of temporality’ (Harutyunyan and Muller, 2016, p17).

A later publication includes articles from a linked conference in Beirut, Thinking About Time that, like the artworks, ‘shares an endeavor to make time an object of thought without objectifying it.’ (Harutyunyan, 2016, p23)

It was when considering the texts in this publication that I started to reflect on print as just such a material recording. None of the essays, though wide-ranging, considers printmaking, provoking me to map the arguments onto print for myself, particularly in the light of recent collaborations with artists Alberta Whittle, Rae-Yen Song, and Annalee Davis, all of whom make work directly referencing distances of time and geography.
Towards Archaeological Printmaking

With the advancement of the ink manufacturing industry and methods in the 19th century, it has been argued that artists lost intimacy with the raw materials used in almost all techniques. The composition of ingredients in even the most common drawing and printing inks, tusches, or crayons became a mystery. If, on one hand, the advancement of chemistry and industry allowed the improvement of paints and led artists to understand how to combine them, on the other hand, putting high-quality ready-to-use materials on the market pinpointed the beginning of the broken connection between artists, raw materials, and the process of their fabrication. The model of work in this research is posited in a more complex and desirable situation, such as working in situ as opposed to a well-provided printmaking workshop. To achieve a better understanding of local culture, this research aims to deepen the knowledge of the processes embodied in the use of print media and the construction of artists’ tools. The local black slate, used as a matrix for lithographic printing, its colourful variation for coating papers, gum printing, inks, and crayons, extend the innovative experimental approaches and offer a variety of strategies to understand and read local collective memories and the history of communities. Reconstructing 19th-century materials used in commercial printing or looking at vernacular buildings makes us consider the use of hereditary methods and knowledge and the need to include traditional skills and craftsmanship. It prompts us to learn from a constructive culture that has been informed by the collective memory of knowledge and skills, both popular and erudite, and to acknowledge these repositories of knowledge as evidence of the dynamic connection between the past and future of humankind’s adaptation to the environment, where printmaking in situ may have a role in negotiating culture and history.
MULHERES INDÍGENAS ENCARCERADAS DO ESTADO DO MATO GROSSO DO SUL E O ENFRENTAMENTO A COVID-19

A realidade do encarceramento é algo que assusta e que tem em seu bojo bastante preconceitos, juntando com a situação da pandemia de Covid-19, que atingiu de modo integral a sociedade, colocou a população em isolamento, ficou mais difícil ainda. Sendo assim, fazendo uma abordagem com recorte sobre as mulheres indígenas, a situação se acirrou ainda mais, uma vez que, os desafios já estavam postos, o que fez foi emergir, vir à tona, pois a superlotação não começou em 2020. Diante disso, tendo em conta que a questão de gênero acentua ainda mais a gravidade do problema, vem a seguinte indagação: como estão as mulheres indígenas encarceradas do Mato Grosso do Sul diante da realidade da pandemia? O presente artigo tem como objetivo descrever a realidade das indígenas encarceradas do MS frente a situação pandêmica. Foi dividido em três tópicos: a pandemia e a emersão das vulnerabilidades a partir da reflexão do Boa Aventura; os desafios das encarceradas e a realidade das mulheres indígenas encarceradas no Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul frente a pandemia. A metodologia de pesquisa é exploratória e o método de abordagem dedutivo, através da descrição dos artigos, bibliografias e outros referentes ao tema. Para fundamentar o presente artigo, foi feito uso das seguintes referências: Boa Aventura Santos, Juliana Borges, Noberto Bobbio, entre outros. O resultado foi parcial pelo difícil acesso a informações mais precisas, pouco material disponível sobre como as mulheres indígenas do Estado do Mato Grosso do Sul estão diante dessa realidade. O resultado que elas vivem na invisibilidade, como se não existissem nos estabelecimentos penais. Desse modo, é preciso ser vista a realidade das indígenas encarceradas e buscar outras alternativas, sem ser a prisão.
O FUTURO DA AUTOMAÇÃO AGROINDUSTRIAL EM UNIDADES PRODUTORAS DE PROTEINA DE FRANGO: RESILIÊNCIA PRODUTIVA EM TEMPOS DE DESAFIOS
Authors: Ferrazza Adriana Cioato , Timm Luiz Carlos
Published: January 2023

A emergência de saúde mundial expôs a insegurança alimentar que a dependência do trabalho manual impõe à cadeia produtora de proteína animal. Dentre as alternativas que incutem resiliência à produção de alimentos, está a automação. Nesta pesquisa a resiliência é compreendida como a capacidade da cadeia produtora de alimentos em se adaptar a eventos disruptivos, e transcender a ruptura com robustez. Em períodos de escassez de mão-de-obra, tornar automática a tarefa repetitiva libera a mão-de-obra para outras tarefas não automatizadas. O índice de automação na indústria de alimentos em países em desenvolvimento é menor se comparado aos países desenvolvidos. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar as motivações para adoção de automação na agroindústria de abate de frango, para isto, foram entrevistados gestores de agroindústrias de grande porte no sul do Brasil. Dentre os achados desta pesquisa, a emergência de saúde foi um motivador para adoção de automação de tarefas, assim como, as restrições sanitárias, porém, as incertezas mercadológicas, a retomada lenta da economia e elevados custos dos insumos, bem como, custos extras decorrentes da pandemia, adiaram os planos de automação agroindustrial. Fica evidente que a emergência de saúde causada pela pandemia do Covid-19 instigou a resiliência das agroindústrias e suscitou o sentido de urgência no setor de alimentos para a automação.
TEATRO DE TEMÁTICA CIENTÍFICA PARA FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES DE QUÍMICA
Authors: De Sousa Júnior Francisco Souto
Published: January 2023

A formação inicial de professores proporciona um momento de repensar os caminhos que a educação vem percorrendo, e então, refletir sobre as possíveis práticas para o processo de formação. Dentre as propostas didáticas apresentadas como alternativa para o ensino pode utilizar-se do teatro científico. O objetivo desse trabalho foi investigar e discutir as crenças dos licenciandos em química vinculados aos grupos de Teatro Científico “FANÁticos da Química e Química em Cena” em relação à utilização do teatro científico (TC) para sua formação. Os licenciandos apresenta uma visão positiva na utilização do teatro para formação docente, como pode ser visto nas assestivas A7 (1,72), A9 (1,44), A13 (1,81), A16 (1,78), A19 (1,66), A 26 (1,91), A28 (1,44) e A29 (1,89). Creditam melhorias na sua formação inicial à utilização do teatro científico aliado a experimentação.

Liolaemus josephorum, nueva especie de lagartija para el Norte de Chile
Authors: Núñez Herman , Schulte II James A. , Garín Carlos
Published: January 2023

Se describe a Liolaemus josephorum como nueva especie de lagartija para la región de Atacama en el norte de Chile. Las evidencias para considerar a esta especie como nueva provienen de sus diferencias en ADN respecto de las especies cercanas así como de otras del género Liolaemus además de diferencias en la morfología externa. Tanto el análisis osteológico como las evidencias morfológicas externas permiten señalar que L. josephorum pertenece al grupo chileno. La comparación morfológica externa indica que esta especie es cercana a L. platei de la que se separa por diversos caracteres en la escamación; su cercanía morfológica y de patrón de dise­ño la vinculan estrechamente con L. velosi y se segrega de ella por diferentes características de la escamación y otras de diseño.
