Η επίδραση της διγλωσσίας και των διδακτικών πρακτικών στην αναγνωστική επίδοση παιδιών μεταναστών στην Ελλάδα
Authors: Παπαδιά Αικατερίνη
Published: October 2021

Βασικός στόχος της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η καταγραφή της αναγνωστικής επίδοσης των δίγλωσσων μεταναστών μαθητών πρώτης σχολικής ηλικίας που φοιτούσαν σε σχολεία διαφόρων Περιφερειών της ελληνικής επικράτειας. Βασικός στόχος, επίσης, ήταν η διερεύνηση πιθανής επίδρασης της προτιμώμενης γλώσσας επικοινωνίας (γλώσσα χώρας καταγωγής ή γλώσσα χώρας υποδοχής) στην αναγνωστική επίδοση των δίγλωσσων μεταναστών μαθητών και της συχνότητας χρήσης διδακτικών πρακτικών στην αναγνωστική επίδοση τόσο των δίγλωσσων όσο και των μoνόγλωσσων μαθητών.Το δείγμα αποτέλεσαν 158 μαθητές Δημοτικού, 93 δίγλωσσοι μετανάστες και 65 γηγενείς μαθητές, καθώς και οι 16 εκπαιδευτικοί των τάξεων που φοιτούσαν οι παραπάνω μαθητές. Από την ανάλυση των δεδομένων προέκυψε πως οι δίγλωσσοι μετανάστες μαθητές στο σύνολό τους παρουσίασαν μέτρια επίπεδα αναγνωστικής επίδοσης, ενώ αποδείχτηκαν στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές στις αναγνωστικές επιδόσεις των δίγλωσσων μαθητών με συχνή χρήση της ελληνικής έναντι των δίγλωσσων που χρησιμοποιούσαν συχνότερα τη γλώσσα της χώρας καταγωγής τους. Ένα ενδιαφέρον εύρημα που προέκυψε ήταν οι μη στατιστικά σημαντικές διαφορές στις επιδόσεις μεταξύ των μονόγλωσσων και των δίγλωσσων μεταναστών μαθητών με συχνή χρήση της ελληνικής γλώσσας. Σημαντικό, επίσης, εύρημα ήταν ότι δεν παρατηρήθηκε σημαντική επίδραση των διδακτικών πρακτικών στη μέση αναγνωστική επίδοση τόσο των δίγλωσσων μεταναστών μαθητών όσο και των μονόγλωσσων συμμαθητών τους. Η συχνή χρήση κάποιων διδακτικών πρακτικών φάνηκε να επηρεάζει θετικά μόνο την κατάκτηση της ευχέρειας και εν μέρει της αποκωδικοποίησης.
Designing and developing an app to perform Hofstee cut-off calculations
Authors: Masters Ken , Al-Wardy Nadia
Published: October 2021

Determining a Hofstee cut-off point in medical education student assessment is problematic: traditional methods can be time-consuming, inaccurate, and inflexible.  To counter this, we developed a simple Android app that receives raw, unsorted student assessment data in .csv format, allows for multiple judges’ inputs, mean or median inputs, calculates the Hofstee cut-off mathematically, and outputs the results with other guiding information. The app contains a detailed description of its functionality.

Promoting positive interactions between midwives and obstetricians at the primary/secondary interface
Authors: Cassie Rachel , Griffiths Christine , Parker George
Published: October 2021

Background: Interprofessional communication is a critical component of safe maternity care. The literature reports circumstances in Aotearoa New Zealand and overseas when interprofessional collaboration works well between midwives and obstetricians, as well as descriptions of unsatisfactory communication between the two professions. Aim: To explore and define effective collaboration between midwives and obstetricians at the primary/secondary interface in maternity care, in order to generate suggestions to foster positive collaboration. Method: Eight primary care midwives, three obstetricians and two obstetric registrars from a single District Health Board in Aotearoa New Zealand were interviewed about their interactions at the primary/secondary interface and their understanding, and use, of the Referral Guidelines. The theoretical perspective was Appreciative Inquiry. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings: Results indicate usually positive interprofessional interactions. Dominant emergent themes are the need to negotiate differing philosophies, to clarify blurred boundaries that sometimes lead to lack of clear lines of responsibility, and the importance of three-way conversations. Of the three themes, this article focuses on three-way communication between midwife, obstetrician/registrar and woman. Participants reported that, when effective three-way communication between woman, midwife and obstetrician occurred, philosophical difference could be negotiated, blurred boundaries clarified and understanding of the respective roles of the LMC midwife and the obstetric team promoted. Participants value the Referral Guidelines but report some limitations to their applicability. Conclusion: Effective three-way communication promotes good maternity care. This study has identified ways to support optimal communication.

Drugs that inhibit voltage-dependent sodium channels are commonly used to treat epilepsy. Old and novel antiepileptic drugs are used either as monotherapy or in combination to control epilepsy. For a long time, carbamazepine has been used as the first choice for the treatment of simple and complex partial seizures. In the USA, lacosamide was approved in October 2008 as an adjunctive treatment for partial-onset seizures. We describe the effect of two sodium channel blockers on the heart of a patient with epilepsy.
Critical thinking, literature and teachers’ instructional activities: An Indonesian case of community service program for English teachers
Authors: Gandana Isti , Nafisah Nia , Imperiani Ernie
Published: October 2021

Critical thinking (CT) has generally been known as one of the core competencies of the 21st-century skills that students need to acquire to succeed in today’s world. To attain this goal, teachers undoubtedly have a critical role to play. Involving a group of Indonesian teachers of English, this study aims to explore the teachers’ initial conceptions of critical thinking as reflected in their planned classroom activities. Specifically, the data collected were in the form of written instructional activities that  used literary works as learning materials. These data were obtained following the teachers’ participation in an online workshop on promoting critical thinking through literature  held for English teachers from MGMP (i.e., English Teachers Working Group) in Bandung Regency. The workshop introduced a model of teaching critical thinking skills using literary works  and required the teachers to design their own instructional activities based on the proposed CT model. Adopting content analysis as the methodological tool to scrutinize the teachers’ prepared materials,  our initial findings indicate that, in general, the teachers had inadequate knowledge of how to incorporate  critical thinking skills into their teaching. Literature was seen merely as a tool to develop students’ linguistic abilities rather than as a way to explore humans’ experiences and to connect ‘the word and the world’. This study recommends that the teachers be given more time to better explore the concepts surrounding  critical literacy  pedagogy  as well as be given more opportunities  for practical application of the promoted instructional model.
A Systematic Review on Language Learning Strategies for Speaking Skills in a New Learning Environment
Authors: Kehing Katherine Livan , Yunus Melor Md
Published: October 2021

Speaking skills have always been regarded as the most difficult skill out of the four skills that learners should master in language learning. The importance of learning speaking skills has also been highlighted by many researchers in recent years. With the use of technology in this modern era, learners can learn speaking skills through various resources. Therefore, there is a need to identify the learning strategies used by learners for speaking skills in the new learning environment. In this review, the most frequently used strategies in language learning for speaking skills has been examined. The articles reviewed were from 2017 until 2021 across two databases, ERIC and Google Scholar. The PRISMA 2020 methodology is used in the review. From the review, it was found that meta-cognitive and cognitive strategies were most frequently used for learning speaking skills, followed by compensation and social strategies. The least used strategies by learners were memory and affective strategies. The findings help teachers to look for the most suitable teaching method in the current learning environment. For future research, an extensive review of the use of learning strategies for other learning skills could be carried out.

Published: October 2021

Batı ile birlikte yaşamak yerine Batılılaşmak zorunda olan Osmanlı’da, bu yeni yaşam biçimini kabulleniş alt sınıfta ağır bir tempoda gerçekleşirken üst sınıf, yenilikleri daha hızlı bir şekilde karşılıyordu. Bu sebepledir ki Türk Batılılaşma tarihi büyük oranda üst sınıftaki hareketliliğin tarihidir. Toplumsal kabullenişin siyasî derinliği bir yana müzikte, özellikle de fasıl türünde görünen sonuçlar, İmparatorluğun son yüzyılının kısa bir hülasasını verir. Zira bu fasıllar, yeni üst ve alt sınıfın kesiştiği ve buluştuğu mekanlarda, ortaklaşan bir müzik beğenisi sembolüdür.
Bu tarihsel dönüşümün izlerinin sürüldüğü çalışmamızda nota üzerinde üslup farkı belirtilmeyen bir eserin, direklerarası Fasıl üslubunda icra edilirken enstrümanlarda dikkat edilen hususlar pratikteki örnekleri üzerinden gösterilecektir. Canlı ve neşeli bir tarz olan direklerarası fasıl icrasında uzun sesli enstrümanların melodinin köşe başı olan bir tek sesi uzunca tınlatarak bıraktığı canlılık etkisi yahut nağme iskeletinin üst ve alt bölgelerinde geleneksel motiflerle yaptığı yaratıcı süslemeler bu sazların yapısının direklerarası fasılda dikkat çeken hususiyetlerindendir. Lakin direklerarası fasılın dinamik yönünü en belirgin şekilde gösteren enstrümanlar tef ve darbuka gibi ritim enstrümanları ve ud, kanun gibi mızraplı enstrümanlardır. Direklerarası faslı, çıkan girift sonuca binaen bir bütün olarak değerlendirdiğimiz için buna etki eden her enstrüman ve fasıl içinde yarattıkları canlılık teknikleri çalışmamızın menzilinde yer almaktadır.

Abstract. Lelloltery H, Rumanta M, Kunda RM. 2021. Strategy for marine ecotourism development based on natural resource management: Case study in Kotania Bay, Western Seram District, Maluku. Nusantara Bioscience 13: 91-99. The study aimed to identify the potential for marine ecotourism in Kotania Bay, and formulated strategies and priorities for developing marine ecotourism in Kotania Bay. Data collection on ecological potential consisted of mangrove and fauna vegetation using the line transect method, while coastal and marine resources included coral reefs and reef fish using the Line Intercept Transect (LIT) method. Development strategies and priorities used the SWOT and AHP methods. The results showed that the potential of coastal natural resources around the Kotania Bay consisted of 12 mangrove species belonging to7 families with species diversity index 1.76, and dominated by Rhizophora mucronata and Bruguiera cylindrica. The bird species were 33 species belonging to 23 families, with several endemic species such as Philemon subcorniculatus, Eulipoa wallacei, Birgus latro, and Pteropus melanopogon. Potential marine water resources consisted of 45 coral species belonging to 23 genera and 14 families with 10-12 life-forms. The diversity of reef fish species was quite abundant consisting of 129 species from 60 genera and 22 families. The sand beach on Marsegu island is a tourist destination that is demanded by the tourists. SWOT analysis showed that the potential of coastal and marine natural resources in Kotania Bay is very likely to be developed as marine ecotourism.

Published: October 2021

Wafer alignment is the core technique of lithographic tools. Image-processing-based wafer alignment techniques are commonly used in lithographic tools. An alignment algorithm is used to analyze the alignment mark image for obtaining the mark position. The accuracy and speed of the alignment algorithm are very important for guaranteeing the overlay and throughput of lithographic tools. The most commonly used algorithm in image-processing-based alignment techniques is the self-correlation method. This method has a high accuracy, but the calculation is complex, and the calculation speed is slow. In this paper, we propose a sub-pixel position estimation algorithm based on Gaussian fitting and sampling theorem interpolation. The algorithm first reconstructs the alignment signal by sampling theorem interpolation and then obtains the sub-pixel position of the mark by Gaussian fitting. The accuracy and robustness of the algorithm are verified by testing the simulated marks and experimentally captured marks. The repeat accuracy can reach 1/100 pixels, which is in the same level with the self-correlation method. The calculation speed is highly improved compared with the self-correlation method, which needs only about 1/3 of even short calculation time.

Authors: Wang Yukun , Ye Fan , Li Ji , Chen Xiaobo , Xi Juntong , Xu Xiaojin
Published: October 2021

The fuel assembly is the core component of the nuclear energy system, and its excessive deformation will affect the normal insertion of the fuel rod and endanger safe operation of the reactor. In this paper, we present an underwater fuel assembly deformation measurement system based on 10 sets of visual measurement units. Benefitting from the waterproof design, the shielding-radiation design, the reflective structure design, the dual-optical line laser triangulation principle, and the underwater multilayer refractive geometry, the measurement system has shorter measurement time, higher measurement accuracy, and better environmental adaptability. Through the underwater field measurement and verification of the standard rod and fuel assembly, the bow deformation measurement accuracy of the measurement system is better than 0.3 mm, and the twist deformation measurement accuracy of the system is better than 0.15°. The proposed method allows transient and high-precision measurement in a certain irradiation dose and certain depth water, which provides a strong guarantee for measurement of fuel assembly deformation parameters in deep water and high radiation.

, STO) spherical shell all-dielectric metamaterials (ADMs) structure, the tunable propagation characteristics have been systematically studied, taking into account the effects of structural geometrical parameter, temperature, and graphene Fermi level. The results indicate that STO-based ADMs exhibit excellent thermally and electrically tunable performances, e.g., when the temperature rises from 77 to 400 K, the modulation depths (MDs) of resonant frequency and amplitude of the reflection dip reach 62% and 93%, and the absorption is tunable in the range of 0.7995–0.9017. Additionally, when the Fermi level of graphene changes from 0.1 to 1.0 eV, the amplitude MD of the reflection dip reaches 99.89%, and the absorption of the STO-based ADM increases from 0.8352 to 0.9953. These results provide a guide for understanding the resonant mechanism of STO-based ADMs and designing multifunctional terahertz devices.
Quantifying observer metamerism of LED spectra which chromatically mimic natural daylight
Authors: Eissfeldt Adrian , Zandi Babak , Herzog Alexander , Khanh Tran Quoc
Published: October 2021

When LEDs are used to mimic daylight, a side-by-side comparison of the chromaticity difference between the LED spectrum and natural daylight will be perceived differently by individual observers. The magnitude of this effect depends on the LED light’s spectral power distribution and can be assessed by using individual observer functions. To minimize the computational effort, an observer metamerism index can be utilized. Here, we compare three methods from the literature to define an observer metamerism index by carrying out a correlation analysis, in which reference spectra of the whole daylight range (1600 K to 88000 K) are used together with an empirical study. The recommended metric is based on a principal component analysis of 1000 individual observers’ color matching functions to define a deviate observer. Using the proposed metamerism index significantly simplifies the calculation of the observer metamerism evaluation. Thus, this metric can be applied in spectral optimization pipelines, which are embedded in smart and adaptive multi-primary LED luminaires.
From representative volume element of interacting particles to the extraction of their effective properties
Authors: Guerra Timothée , Meneses Domingos De Sousa , Rozenbaum Olivier , Blanchard Cédric
Published: October 2021

The main concern of this investigation was the relation between the representative volume element of the scattered flux from 2D random agglomerates, composed of sub-wavelength interacting particles, and the extraction of their effective electromagnetic properties. Using a constant ratio between agglomerates radius and wavelength, behaviors of the scattered flux mean value and standard deviation were studied as a function of the agglomerate surface, in the case of relevant particle permittivities. Using the mean or standard deviation functions, two criteria for homogenization were derived. Compared to the extraction of the effective refractive index, both criteria failed to predict the minimal surface needed for homogenization, questioning the existence of a link between the accuracy of the scattered flux evaluation and homogenization. However, it is shown that when no surface-plasmon resonances are excited, a single minimal representative surface for homogenization can be defined.

Authors: Wang Yangyundou , Lin Zhaosu , Wang Hao , Hu Chuanfei , Yang Hui , Gu Min
Published: October 2021

Light scattering is a pervasive problem in many areas. Recently, deep learning was implemented in speckle reconstruction. To better investigate the key feature extraction and generalization abilities of the networks for sparse pattern reconstruction, we develop the “one-to-all” self-attention armed convolutional neural network (SACNN). It can extract the local and global speckle properties of different types of sparse patterns, unseen glass diffusers, and untrained detection positions. We quantitatively analyzed the performance and generalization ability of the SACNN using scientific indicators and found that, compared with convolutional neural networks, the Pearson correlation coefficient, structural similarity measure, and Jaccard index for the validation datasets increased by more than 10% when SACNN was used. Moreover, SACNN is capable of reconstructing features 75 times beyond the memory effect range for a 120 grits diffuser. Our work paves the way to boost the field of view and depth of field for various sparse patterns with complex scatters, especially in deep tissue imaging.
The mechanism of complex formation between calmodulin and voltage gated calcium channels revealed by molecular dynamics
Authors: Yaduvanshi Shivani , Ero Rya , Kumar Veerendra
Published: October 2021

Calmodulin, a ubiquitous eukaryotic calcium sensor responsible for the regulation of many fundamental cellular processes, is a highly flexible protein and exhibits an unusually wide range of conformations. Furthermore, CaM is known to interact with more than 300 cellular targets. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation trajectories suggest that EF-hand loops show different magnitudes of flexibility. Therefore, the four EF-hand motifs have different affinities for Ca2+ ions, which enables CaM to function on wide range of Ca2+ ion concentrations. EF-hand loops are 2–3 times more flexible in apo CaM whereas least flexible in Ca2+/CaM-IQ motif complexes. We report a unique intermediate conformation of Ca2+/CaM while transitioning from extended to compact form. We also report the complex formation process between Ca2+/CaM and IQ CaM-binding motifs. Our results showed how IQ motif recognise its binding site on the CaM and how CaM transforms from extended to compact form upon binding to IQ motif.
Playing with the Kitchen Table: Using persuasive games to promote empathy for persons with anaphylactic food allergies
Authors: Clement Ryan
Published: October 2021

This article focuses on the design and preliminary experimentation of a tabletop game called Kitchen Table, created to encourage more empathy towards people with severe anaphylactic food allergies. To measure the effectiveness of this game, the study ‘Use of persuasive games to promote empathy for persons with food allergies’ was conducted at the University of Waterloo in collaboration with the Games Institute and Department of Geography and Environmental Management's Genetics, Environment and Therapies: Food Allergy Clinical Tolerance Studies (GET-FACTS) project. This study involved volunteers completing a Likert scale-based pre-playtest questionnaire, playing the game, and then completing a post-playtest questionnaire identical to the original. Their pre-playtest and post-playtest responses were compared to measure the degree to which attitudes changed as a result of playing the game. In the end, the game was demonstrated to encourage more empathy towards people with severe anaphylaxis through the production of emergent narrative from the interaction between the players, the game mechanics and the participatory community experience.
Debate - From Palermo to the Streets of Oslo: Pros and cons of the trafficking framework
Authors: Økland Jahnsen Synnøve , Skilbrei May-Len
Published: October 2021

The development of Norwegian anti-trafficking efforts and how they relate to obligations set forth by the United Nations Trafficking Protocol (also known as the ‘Palermo Protocol’) illustrates some of the constraints connected to international policymaking. While national trafficking policies on paper are in alignment with the definitions and priorities in the Protocol, the local and institutional context simultaneously influence how these international ambitions are interpreted and implemented. Thus, we argue that to understand the impact of the Protocol one must necessarily explore how it interacts with national agendas and instruments
Was Trafficking in Persons Really Criminalised?
Authors: Kangaspunta Kristiina
Published: October 2021

This paper examines the successes and setbacks in the criminal justice response to trafficking in persons. While today, the majority of countries have passed specific legislation criminalising human trafficking in response to the United Nations Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, there are still very few convictions of trafficking. Using currently available knowledge, this paper discusses four possible reasons for low conviction rates. Further, the paper suggests that due to the heavy dependency on victim testimonies when prosecuting trafficking in persons crimes, members of criminal organisations that are easily identifiable by victims may face criminal charges more frequently than other members of the criminal group, particularly those in positions of greater responsibility who profit the most from the criminal activities. In this context, the exceptionally high number of women among convicted offenders is explored.
An Agent-Based Simulation to Explore Communication in a System to Control Urban Traffic with Smart Traffic Lights
Authors: De Oliveira Marcos , Teixeira Robson , Sousa Roberta , Tavares Gonçalves Enyo José
Published: October 2021

Populational growth increases the number of cars and makes the transport infrastructure increasingly saturated. The control of traffic lights by intelligent software is a promising way to solve the problem caused by this situation. This article addresses this problem that occurs in urban traffic. An agent-based simulation of an urban traffic control system is proposed. The solution is offered as intelligent traffic lights as agents to alleviate traffic congestion at a given location. Each agent controls a crossing and maintains communication with agents from other corners. Thus, they can have greater control of a larger area and identify patterns that can help them to solve congestion problems. The results of our simulated experiments point to the improvement of the urban traffic when using the proposed Multiagent System, in comparison with an approach that uses crossing agents without communication and other that implements static traffic lights.
Limit cycles of planar discontinuous piecewise linear Hamiltonian systems without equilibria separated by reducible cubics
Authors: Benterki Rebiha , Jimenez Jeidy , Llibre Jaume
Published: October 2021

Due to their applications to many physical phenomena during these last decades the interest for studying the discontinuous piecewise differential systems has increased strongly. The limit cycles play a main role in the study of any planar differential system, but to determine the maximum number of limits cycles that a class of planar differential systems can have is one of the main problems in the qualitative theory of the planar differential systems. Thus in general to provide a sharp upper bound for the number of crossing limit cycles that a given class of piecewise linear differential system can have is a very difficult problem. In this paper we characterize the existence and the number of limit cycles for the piecewise linear differential systems formed by linear Hamiltonian systems without equilibria and separated by a reducible cubic curve, formed either by an ellipse and a straight line, or by a parabola and a straight line parallel to the tangent at the vertex of the parabola. Hence we have solved the extended 16th Hilbert problem to this class of piecewise differential systems.
Convective instability in a diffusive predator–prey system
Authors: Chen Hui , Xu Xuelian
Published: October 2021

It is well known that biological pattern formation is the Turing mechanism, in which a homogeneous steady state is destabilized by the addition of diffusion, though it is stable in the kinetic ODEs. However, steady states that are unstable in the kinetic ODEs are rarely mentioned. This paper concerns a reaction diffusion advection system under Neumann boundary conditions, where steady states that are unstable in the kinetic ODEs. Our results provide a stabilization strategy for the same steady state, the combination of large advection rate and small diffusion rate can stabilize the homogeneous equilibrium. Moreover, we investigate the existence and stability of nonconstant positive steady states to the system through rigorous bifurcation analysis.
Rejeito de minério de ferro como agregado mineral fino em misturas asfálticas
Authors: De Oliveira Igor Castro Sá , Faxina Adalberto Leandro
Published: October 2021

A crescente produção mineral gera volumes gradativamente maiores de resíduos sólidos, motivando a realização de estudos que viabilizem o aproveitamento desses resíduos em outras áreas. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a utilização do rejeito de flotação do minério de ferro, que se assemelha a uma areia fina, como material constituinte de misturas asfálticas. Foram produzidas misturas asfálticas completas (MAC) e matrizes de agregados finos (MAF) empregando agregados de gnaisse e rejeito de minério de ferro. A MAC foi avaliada por meio da resistência à tração e dano por umidade induzida. As MAFs foram submetidas a ensaios de fadiga no reômetro de cisalhamento dinâmico, gerando modelos de fadiga das amostras com e sem condicionamento à umidade. A melhor adesividade do ligante asfáltico ao rejeito proporcionou maior resistência à tração na MAC e maior vida de fadiga à MAF condicionada, além de reduzir a suscetibilidade à umidade nas duas escalas.

Authors: Marinho Mirna Neyara Alexandre de Sá Barreto , Duarte Rafael Bezerra , Solano Lorrainy da Cruz , Silva Maria Rocineide Ferreira da
Published: October 2021

O contexto proporcionado pela COVID-19 trouxe modificações em múltiplas áreas, especialmente na educação, em que professores necessitaram de diversos recursos para desenvolverem atividades de forma remota, a exemplo das mandalas que, no ensino em saúde, configuram-se como as dobras e brechas que se abrem na concepção de formação e produção de conhecimento. Este estudo objetiva descrever a experiência do uso de mandalas formativas no ensino remoto à luz da pedagogia freiriana. Trata-se de um relato de experiência vivenciado a partir de uma disciplina ministrada em um programa de saúde coletiva de uma universidade do nordeste brasileiro durante os meses de agosto e setembro de 2020. A disciplina contou com nove encontros virtuais, sendo que em três deles foram utilizadas as mandalas como estratégia de ensino. As mandalas demonstraram-se relevantes ao processo ensino-aprendizagem, oportunizando momentos de debates e reflexões com os conceitos nela imbricados, apresentando peculiaridades e diferenciando-se umas das outras pelas suas características. Por meio delas tornou-se possível externalizar sentimentos, saberes, experiências acadêmicas e profissionais, além do atravessamento com a pedagogia freiriana. Faz-se necessário que experiências como essa sejam divulgadas nos diversos cenários de ensino, propagando estratégias que sejam facilitadoras da aprendizagem com reflexão e compromisso de transformação da(s) realidade(s).
A pedagogia libertadora e a práxis educativa freireanas na Educação Profissional e Tecnológica: o caso do Curso Técnico em Vigilância em Saúde Integrado ao Ensino Médio
Authors: Anjos Hellen Vivian Moreira dos , Barros Giuliana de Sá Ferreira , Rodrigues Fernando Barreto
Published: October 2021

Este artigo traz a experiência da prática libertadora freiriana na concepção do projeto do curso técnico em Vigilância em Saúde integrado ao Ensino Médio, no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Norte de Minas Gerais, Câmpus Avançado Janaúba. O objetivo é relatar como a prática pedagógica em Paulo Freire é também práxis educativa, uma vez que, mediada pela história, busca a unidade entre o ser humano e o mundo do qual ele faz parte. Resgatar a ideia da prática pedagógica freiriana relacionada ao conceito de práxis e, em consequência, à Educação Profissional integrada ao Ensino Médio, faz-se imperioso, especialmente nesse contexto em que a negação da condição humana, ou da humanidade, está cada vez mais evidente. A discussão do conceito de práxis foi ancorada em Marx (2002), Losurdo (2015), Vásquez (2011), Manacorda (1996), Semeraro (2005) e, principalmente, Gramsci (1975) e Freire (1987). Em um segundo momento, foi apresentada a experiência pedagógica libertadora freiriana no curso técnico em Vigilância em Saúde no Instituto. Por fim, discorreu-se sobre os princípios metodológicos e organizacionais do curso, dando ênfase à sua estrutura curricular baseada na metodologia dos Temas Geradores.
A utopia de Paulo Freire
Authors: Rodrigues Rubens Luiz
Published: October 2021

O artigo analisa o sentido emancipatório em Paulo Freire. Articula esse sentido à dimensão humanista revolucionária que o autor atribuiu à educação para a liberdade. Desenvolve a seguinte questão: qual o sentido emancipatório da utopia freiriana? Destaca que a utopia freiriana configura-se na superação da sociabilidade capitalista ao abordar a educação como dimensão da práxis humana que se desenvolve no processo histórico. Realizou-se uma revisão bibliográfica, analisando o humanismo revolucionário de Paulo Freire, especialmente em Educação como Prática da Liberdade e em Pedagogia do Oprimido. Sistematizou-se, também, o diálogo freiriano com autores que abordam a formação social brasileira e a tradição marxiana do estudo da filosofia da práxis para estabelecer as relações entre educação para a liberdade e a emancipação humana. A teoria crítica de educação indica que a utopia freiriana se pautou em um sentido integral e ilimitado da liberdade. A relação entre uma educação para a liberdade e a emancipação humana conferia um caráter de superação da sociabilidade capitalista por sua reprodução das relações de exploração, de dominação e de opressão.
BNCC e a Carta da Terra
Authors: Campos Elisabete Ferreira Esteves
Published: October 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) para lançar luz sobre como são abordados os temas relacionados aos debates atuais sobre a sustentabilidade da vida no planeta nos cinco primeiros anos do ensino fundamental. Com base na epistemologia do ciclo de políticas, discute-se a origem da BNCC e suas intenções, considerando questões de poder que levam ao predomínio da lógica empresarial na educação. O estudo das habilidades a serem desenvolvidas com os estudantes revelou um enfoque curricular técnico-instrumental em uma realidade mitificada, com temas abordados de forma reducionista e fragmentada. Com base no pensamento de Paulo Freire, conclui-se pela necessária compreensão dessa política para a construção da consciência crítica que viabilize outros desenhos curriculares fundamentados na educação crítico-emancipatória. Com esse propósito, a Carta da Terra, a partir de uma leitura crítica, pode ser assumida como instrumento de luta contra uma educação reacionária no bojo de uma sociedade desigual e excludente. A Carta da Terra, ao estabelecer um pacto de cuidado com a Terra, promovendo os direitos humanos, a justiça social e econômica para uma civilização sustentável, constitui-se como importante referência para a construção do currículo escolar, visando à práxis que é, em si, transformadora.

Os doces artesanais integram a categoria de patrimônio imaterial para a cultura regional. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo contemplar ações em prol da memória cultural e valorização do artesanato regional dos doces de Peirópolis, Uberaba-MG. Frente às múltiplas expressões culturais presentes no estado, ressaltamos a típica gastronomia mineira do fazer artesanal dos doces. A metodologia e o procedimento foram desenvolvidos por meio da etnografia nos Círculos de Cultura promovidos por Paulo Freire e que possibilitaram identificar a percepção das doceiras e doceiros integrantes de uma Associação Comunitária acerca da difusão da tradição do fazer manual. Na depuração dos dados, percebemos que a troca intergeracional é fortemente presente no modo de aprendizagem, inclui-se desde as receitas, a colheita e a seleção das frutas, até ao ponto do doce. O trabalho aponta para caminhos frutíferos do fazer artesanal, almejando a preservação e a valorização do patrimônio imaterial na comunidade local e ações extensionistas do Círculo de Cultura.

Authors: Leal Caroline Pereira , Bottega Carla Garcia
Published: October 2021

Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar o absenteísmo-doença entre professores da Rede Municipal de Ensino de Porto Alegre (RME/POA) na série temporal de 2014-2019. Para tanto, foram investigados os afastamentos por problemas de saúde entre docentes, na busca de alterações dos indicadores analisados, desde a implantação de uma nova rotina escolar no ano de 2017. Por meio da Estatística Descritiva, fez-se uma análise quantitativa de indicadores a respeito das Licenças Tratamento de Saúde (LTS), constatando-se um significativo aumento no número delas e de docentes em LTS, bem como a redução do número de dias por licença e de dias de licença por servidor. Esses resultados nos permitem sugerir que as mudanças efetuadas na rotina escolar contribuíram para a elevação do número de afastamentos para tratamento de problemas de saúde e que os gestores necessitam promover mudanças na organização de trabalho visando à promoção de saúde dos professores.

Authors: Silva Maria Abádia da , Pacheco Ricardo Gonçalves
Published: October 2021

O artigo analisa circunstâncias históricas que gestaram a Nova Gestão Pública (NGP), seus fundamentos, finalidades e caraterísticas, na esteira da expansão das políticas neoliberais conduzidas por grupos econômicos, empresários e governos neoconservadores ávidos por crescimento econômico. Amparado nas produções científicas de portais eletrônicos e na legislação federal e distrital considera que as instituições sociais estão sendo reestruturadas sob a lógica da racionalidade, da flexibilidade, da competitividade e da privatização nos serviços públicos. Aponta que no Distrito Federal governo e entusiastas dos princípios empresariais na Educação Básica adotaram mecanismos jurídicos, políticas de regulação e parcerias público-privadas que coexistem com os valores e princípios democráticos.

Authors: Melo Sthéfany Araújo , França Robson Luiz de
Published: October 2021

Em virtude da pandemia iniciada em 2019 pelo Coronavírus (Covid-19), o mundo se viu impelido a permanecer em isolamento social por um longo período, a fim de evitar aglomerações e consequente disseminação do vírus. Nessa época, foram necessárias alternativas que permitissem à sociedade a continuidade de suas atividades no âmbito residencial; para isso, o trabalho e a educação foram liberados a serem realizados remotamente. Este artigo fez parte de pesquisa para tese de Doutorado em Educação, pela Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU) e objetivou reunir as concepções de trabalho em casa, a partir de preceitos de Prost e Vincent (2009), e de educação em casa, permeando as ideias de Ensino Remoto Emergencial (ERE), Educação a Distância (EAD) e Educação Domiciliar. Apoiados em uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, o trabalho almejou problematizar a nova perspectiva do lar, enquanto ambiente de trabalho e de estudo, que, em tempos passados, foi bastante comum, assim como novamente se tornou em razão da Covid-19, caracterizando-se como um efeito bumerangue.

Este artigo apresenta os resultados da pesquisa sobre os fundamentos ideológicos e normativos do “Programa Escola sem Partido” – Projeto de Lei (PL) nº 867/2015. Com base em análise documental e bibliográfica, foi possível identificar as fragilidades dos fundamentos ideológicos do PL, suas inconsistências lógico-teóricas e como retomam valores seculares de nossa sociedade. Buscam apoio no arcabouço jurídico e político-institucional ressignificando preceitos jurídicos, outrora consolidados, com o objetivo de desregulamentar práticas democráticas, impondo à educação grilhões autoritários.

Published: October 2021

O artigo resulta de pesquisa que teve como objetivo analisar a oferta do Regime Especial de Atividades Não Presenciais (REANP) para a educação infantil, a partir da percepção das professoras de escolas públicas do município de Santa Vitória, Minas Gerais. A pesquisa qualitativa utilizou-se do questionário para coleta de dados. Os resultados apontam inúmeros desafios enfrentados pelas docentes dentre os quais a falta de condições objetivas para viabilizar o ensino, uma vez que muitos professores e alunos não têm acesso à internet de qualidade e nem sempre possuem o domínio no manejo de aplicativos e plataformas digitais. Concluímos que o ensino não presencial deflagra o notório processo de exclusão digital em decorrência da exacerbada desigualdade social que marca a sociedade brasileira.
The Effects of Bank-Level and Macroeconomic Variables on Commercial Bank Lending Based on Type of Use
Authors: Arintoko Arintoko
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACTThe purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of interest rates, bank-level and macroeconomic variables on bank lending based on the type of use. The analysis method uses an autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model with quarterly data for the period of 2011Q1 - 2020Q1. The results show that investment lending behavior can be explained well by all bank-level and macroeconomic variables for the long run. The bank-level variable also reflects the performance and soundness of the bank, namely the capital adequacy ratio and loan to deposit ratio. Meanwhile, macroeconomic variables include inflation and real GDP. Consumer lending behavior is better explained by macroeconomic variables than bank-level variables. Meanwhile, GDP is the only variable that has a significant effect on working capital loans, which means that the behavior of working capital loans is more influenced by the business cycle as indicated by changes in real GDP. GDP is the only variable that consistently has a significant positive effect on bank loans for the three types of loans. Banks need to continue to emphasize the principle of prudence in providing credit by taking into account the term and credit risk, as well as internal and external factors.

PHARMACEUTICAL CARE FOR OLDER ADULTS IN BRAZIL: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Zanetti Maria Olívia Barboza , Dos Santos Ana Flávia Miguel , Santos Débora Ferreira , Leira Pereira Leonardo Régis
Published: October 2021

Considering the specific requirements of the older adults in the use of drugs and the opportunity for the clinical pharmacist to contribute to these patients, this review aimed to identify studies that have evaluated the results of pharmaceutical care for older adults in Brazil. We conducted a systematic review of the studies that answered the following guiding question: “What pharmaceutical care outcomes in older adult patients are found in Brazil?”. The search strategy was applied to the following databases in February 2019: PubMed, CENTRAL, BVS, and LILACS. Observational or experimental studies describing the results of pharmaceutical care in older adults in Brazil at any level of healthcare and related to the monitoring of any health problem were included. The quality of the included publications was assessed using the Downs and Black checklist. Of the 5080 studies that were identified, 11 were included. The results could summarize evidences supporting pharmaceutical care for older adults, regardless of place of attendance, health problem, or level of health care. The experiences of the Brazilians have contributed to the improvement of clinical and humanistic outcomes, such as reduction in blood pressure, glycemic index, lipid levels, anthropometric measurements, and polypharmacy; resolution of drugs related problems; and improvement in adherence and quality of life. One publication also reported economic outcomes (ICER per QALY gained). Although the number of articles obtained was small, they reported unanimously beneficial results. Pharmacist’s training in healthcare service is essential for expanding pharmaceutical care for this population group.
