Authors: Silva Rony Rei do Nascimento , Mesquita Ilka Miglio de , Souza Ana Beatriz Nunes de
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo tem por objetivo compreender a formação da mentalidade agrícola nos relatórios produzidos por professoras primárias rurais no estado de Sergipe, abrangendo os anos de 1948 e 1950. Os relatórios foram produzidos para fins de avaliação dos cursos de técnicas agrícolas realizados no Aviário Dom Pedro II, por solicitação do professor José Ribeiro Filho, mas acabaram por relevar aspectos sobre a formação das professoras rurais. Para o desenvolvimento desta narrativa histórica, optou-se pela pesquisa documental e pela pesquisa bibliográfica, a serem desenvolvidas por meio de localização e análise de fontes documentais, bem como de leitura de bibliografia especializada. Por fim, conclui-se que os relatórios foram produzidos em um período histórico marcado por iniciativas em moldar a escola primária em consonância com o meio rural para a construção de uma escola especificamente rural, ou seja, com desígnios, infraestrutura, programas de ensino e professores especializados.
Escolas normais rurais brasileiras: formação para professoras normalistas missioneiras (1952-1963)
Authors: Ferreira Nilce Vieira Campos , Visquetti Carminha Aparecida , Souza Cleicinéia Oliveira de
Published: December 2020

Analisamos a dinâmica institucional das escolas normais no Brasil entre os anos de 1952-1963, particularmente a partir de a Campanha Nacional de Educação Rural – CNER, discutindo algumas referências internacionais que influenciaram sua organização. Para alcançar este objetivo consultamos as Revistas da CNER que foram publicadas entre 1954-1962, o que nos permitiu evidenciar modelos organizativos dessas escolas. Constatamos que ao longo de seu processo histórico, as escolas normais rurais brasileiras foram motivadas por ideais educacionais que se fundamentava, de um lado, nas missões culturais mexicanas, de outro nas determinações americanas, cujos financiamentos provenientes traziam o imperativo de mudança e transformação das culturas campesinas. Desse modo, propostas para o modelo de escola normal rural se moldavam fortemente segundo interesses estrangeiros e capitalistas, marcados pela vertente pragmática norte-americana. A partir de nossas análises podemos identificar o avanço de uma educação rural distanciada de um sistema nacional de educação pública e popular na qual a formação docente foi desenvolvida segundo interesses e uma institucionalidade própria para atender, não as exigências de um projeto educativo nacional, mas tomando e incorporando referentes e experiências pedagógicas oriundas de outros países, com intuitos outros que não a educação para autonomia da educação no meio rural.
Narrativas de professoras paulistas: contribuições para a formação e a prática de ensino no meio rural
Authors: Serra Áurea Esteves , Leite Kamila Cristina Evaristo , Garcia Noely Costa Dias
Published: December 2020

A partir de narrativas de 13 professoras, foi possível a compreensão da formação e das práticas educativas exercidas em escolas primárias localizadas nas zonas rurais de três municípios paulistas: Birigui, Rio Claro e São José do Rio Preto. As fontes orais foram compostas por entrevistas com quatro professoras do município de Birigui, cinco professoras de Rio Claro e quatro professoras de São José do Rio Preto. O recorte temporal para este estudo abrange as décadas de 1940 a 1990, período em que as professoras entrevistadas lecionaram nas escolas primárias rurais nos três municípios destacados.O referencial teórico-metodológico utilizado para a pesquisa são pressupostos da História Oral, a partir de estudos de Albertini (1990), permitindo, por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com as referidas professoras, um diálogo, rememorando o tempo vivido por elas nas respectivas escolas primárias rurais. Os resultados finais confirmam que a formação inicial, bem como as práticas educativas realizadas nesse âmbito, aproxima-se das escolas urbanas e, com exceção da horta, como prática diferenciada, não havia uma formação diretamente relacionada à prática de ensino dos professores para o ambiente rural.

Escola e festa cívica - aproximações num contexto rural Português (Avintes, Vila Nova de Gaia) entre 1890 e 1920
Authors: Baptista Eva , Afonso José António Martin Moreno
Published: December 2020

A freguesia de Avintes, na viragem para o século XX, assistiu à progressiva passagem de um espaço rural para um outro onde já são visíveis os índices de industrialização e a consolidação do sector comercial começa a ser vincada. Avintes apresenta todavia uma peculiaridade: congregou diferentes individualidades - capitalistas, “brasileiros”, maçons, professores,…- unidas no seu interesse pela educação popular e a dinamização cultural. É numa conjuntura de mudança económico-social favorável ao desenvolvimento da escolarização que pretendemos abordar, com uma dupla objetivação, via a realização das festas escolares. Como pressupostos, vincamos, por um lado, que estas festividades acompanharam o processo de alfabetização, levado a cabo a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, estando associadas à valorização do mérito individual e ao envolvimento das populações nas vantagens da Escola, no caminho do progresso e da cidadania, aliás como foi sendo plasmado na legislação educativa. Por outro lado, destacaremos que a filantropia educativa impulsionava estas manifestações cívicas, enquanto modalidade de afirmação de autonomia da sociedade civil. Com a República, há um esforço pela modificação da cultura escolar a vários níveis e as festas emergem, então, num contexto de alternativa laica e de substituição de antigos símbolos e de rituais. Com esta dupla entrada, pretendemos, então, sinalizar, com base num estudo de caso, como num espaço em mudança, a escola foi apoiada, pelas elites locais, e apropriada pelas classes populares, sendo a festa cívica (nas suas metamorfoses) uma das vias para compreender o processo de escolarização em contexto rural.

This study represents the first molecular and morphological work on spiders of Iraq. Specimens were collected from different localities in seven provinces during June 2018-July 2019 in different climate conditions. Using both molecular and morphological approaches, eight families representing 17 genera and nine species were identified. Eight genera: Cryptachaea Archer, 1946; Micaria Western, 1851; Ozyptila Simon, 1864; Paramicromerys Millot, 1946; Tegenaria Latreille, 1804; Trachyzelotes Lohmander, 1944; Uroctea Dufour, 1820 and Zelotes Gistel, 1848; and five species: Cryptachaea riparia (Blackwall, 1834); Tegenaria pagana C. L. Koch, 1840; Trachyzelotes jaxartensis (Kroneberg, 1875); Pardosa amentata (Clerck, 1757) and Oecobius putus O. Pickard-Cambridge, 1876 were first recorded for the Iraqi spider fauna. Identification keys for distinguishing families and genera based on the main characteristics were constructed. Molecular-identification was performed for specimens that were difficult to identify by morphological methods, and to confirm the results of the morphological identification. DNA was extracted from 28 spiders’ specimens; PCR-amplified the mtDNA fragment of 710bp of the Cytochrome C Oxidase Subunit I (COI) gene using the primers LCO 1490 Forward / HCO-700ME Reverse. The results of DNA sequences showed 16 samples successful in sequencing. Sixteen local sequenced specimens were submitted to GenBank and edited and combined with COI gene sequences that are associated in GenBank using the neighbor-joining method and the phylogenetic tree was drawn. Eight species of 16 genera belonging to eight families were confirmed by molecular barcoding. The DNA sequences and associated information about the specimens (collection and locality date) deposited in GenBank.

Luchas sociales por el medio ambiente. Actores, valores e intereses: crisis de legitimidad
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Molano Barrero Joaquín
Published: December 2020

Ante la crisis socioambiental que compromete a la humanidad y el ambiente planetario es indispensable encauzar todas las decisiones y acciones hacia la defensa de la vida y la habitabilidad de la tierra. Hay una gran preocupación por la falta de conciencia de esta problemática, tanto en los sectores políticos y empresariales como en la sociedad en general sumida en el consumo y la ideología promovida por los medios de comunicación. Esta crisis se agrava por la ausencia de valores y de una ética pública, dando lugar a la corrupción y el desgobierno generalizado. Se hace un llamado a repensar lo ambiental en su diversidad y a concretar acciones de los distintos sectores frente al actual modelo de sociedad, buscando promover una clara identidad social y territorial. Para ello se invita a evaluar la calidad de la vida y los condicionantes del modelo de desarrollo imperante, que se contrapone a la superación de la crisis ambiental, promoviendo el gasto inútil de los bienes y recursos indispensables para vivir.
Juventud rural, género y música: el caso de la Filarmónica Juvenil San Martín Tilcajete, Oaxaca, México
Authors: Ojeda Gutiérrez Jonathan , Alberti Manzanares Pilar , Zapata Martelo Emma
Published: December 2020

El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la influencia de la educación musical en mujeres jóvenes rurales, con base en sus experiencias como músicas en la Filarmónica Juvenil San Martín Tilcajete. Se hizo uso de la metodología cualitativa desde la perspectiva de género y se realizaron entrevistas a profundidad e historias de vida. Los resultados muestran que la filarmónica fue un proyecto que buscó potencializar la agencia de las jóvenes como sujetos políticos, promoviendo su autonomía a través de la educación musical. Esta iniciativa intentó influir en los procesos de empoderamiento de las jóvenes; sin embargo, se presentaron factores impulsores como el apoyo familiar, e inhibidores relacionados con estereotipos tradicionales de género. Esto se tradujo en conflictos, compensaciones y negociaciones, eventos por los que atraviesan las mujeres para alcanzar su autonomía.

Possibilities of early diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder, with a special attention to Asperger syndrome: A systematic literature review
Authors: Romaszko Małgorzata Zofia , Ochal Michał Ryszard , Januszko-Giergielewicz Beata
Published: December 2020

Introduction: On May 18, 2013, the American Psychiatric Association introduced new diagnostic criteria, the so-called DSM-5, in which Asperger syndrome, autism, childhood disintegrative disorder, also known as Heller’s syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorders were classified as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Based on the DSM-5 classification, Asperger syndrome can be described more specifically as ASD with specifiers, such as, for example, ‘without intellectual impairment’ and ‘without structural language impairment.’ The new classification assumes that typical symptoms, such as inflexible, stereotypical behavioral patterns do not necessarily have to appear in early childhood. The new standardizations limited falsely positive diagnoses; unfortunately, at the same time, reducing the specificity of diagnosis. Aim: The aim of this work, based on a systematic literature review, is to discuss various diagnostic procedures conducive to timely diagnosis of ASD. Material and methods: The source data were identified based on predefined primary medical headings: ASD, Asperger syndrome, and autism and the following keywords: diagnostic, epidemiology, genetic, prenatal, postnatal, DSM-5, and DSM-IV. The following databases were searched: PubMed, Google Scholar (searching using work titles) and UpToDate. Results and discussion: Proper anamnesis, good medical and parental care, and the application of adequate diagnostic procedures might be conducive to a much earlier diagnosis, approximately at the age of 2. Owing to parental perceptive observation as well as genetic and imaging examinations a group of children at a higher risk might be precisely identified, consequently facilitating a quicker diagnosis. Conclusions: Early diagnosis contributes to improved developmental outcomes.
Perceptions of who is in the Healthcare Team? A Content Analysis of Social Media Posts during COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: El-Awaisi Alla , O'Carroll Veronica , Koraysh Somaya , Koummich Sarra , Huber Marion
Published: December 2020

Social media posts can be used to explore public perceptions of interprofessional teams and healthcare professionals. The aim of this study was to use social listening technique to explore unfiltered public perceptions of the professionals involved in healthcare teams during the COVID-19 pandemic, in a naturalistic online setting, and to elaborate on the emotional reactions in response to an online social media post. A cross-sectional retrospective review of comments on a specific social media post was conducted between 15 March and 28 April 2020 using summative content analysis. One image that was widely circulated on social media platforms with two questions: ‘Who society thinks works at hospital? versus who really works at hospitals?’ was selected. Three platforms were searched, Facebook®, Twitter®, and LinkedIn®. Only publicly available posts were included. Out of the initial 40 posts identified, 21 posts, which had 1759 comments, were analysed and 1576 were included for coding. Of the emerging nine themes, perceptions of who is in the team was the largest (40.5%, n = 639), followed by agreement (23.1%, n = 364) and feeling excluded (16.2%, n = 255). Of emotional expressions, 42.1% were positive and 57.9% negative. The most frequent emotions were frustration (54.4%, n = 857) followed by gratitude (16.3%, n = 257) and relief (15.9%, n = 250). The post brought considerable attention to the role of the interprofessional team and generated many feelings of frustration and exclusion. For this reason, the response to this social media post is very important and not to be overlooked. Healthcare professionals need to work together to strengthen their presence as an interprofessional team, united to deliver safe effective quality care for patients. The current COVID-19 pandemic and the media attention should be taken as an opportunity by the interprofessional community to work together to combat negative media stereotypes. Further research is warranted on public perceptions of the healthcare team.

Authors: Benslimane Fatiha M. , Al-Jamal Ola , Boughattas Sonia , Al Than Asmaa A , Yassine Hadi M.
Published: December 2020

Background: First described 20 years ago by Notomi et al. (1999), the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay is robust, rapid and straightforward, yet retains high sensitivity and specificity. These features have seen the LAMP assay and the inclusion of a reverse transcriptase (RT-LAMP) implemented for a broad range of molecular diagnostic applications extending from infectious diseases, including detection of the original SARS-CoV-1 virus. The advantages of RTLAMP include using different reagents than RT-qPCR, the potential for direct processing of samples without the need for prior RNA extraction and an extremely rapid turn-around time. Several groups have now described different RT-LAMP assays for detection of SARS-CoV-2 RNA. Therefore, the aim of this study is to assess the feasibility, sensitivity and effectiveness of LAMP technique in detecting SARS-CoV-2 in different type of samples. Method: New England Biolabs (NEB) LAMP master mixes were used. Six set of primers specific to SARS-CoV-2 were obtained from IDT. The reaction mix consisting of LAMP master mix, primer working solution and a sample was incubated at 65⁰C and results were collected after 30 mins. Results: In just 30 mins, we were able to detect the virus without any prior sample processing. Our primers were able to detect up to 100 copies of the viruses, which is comparable to the RT-PCR that we currently use in our lab. The primers were tested against all other coronavirus and they have shown 100% specificity to the novel SARS-CoV-2 virus. Both the florescent and calorimetric master mixes were able to detect the virus in all tested samples: clinical, animal and environmental. Conclusion: LAMP is a fast reliable technique that could be used as a quick screening method for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in different settings and using different collection medium.

Published: December 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted daily life activity, lifestyle, and well-being. Sleep was shown to be affected by many physical and psychological factors such as quality of life, psychological wellbeing, and levels of physical activity. In the current study, changes in sleep quality during COVID-19-induced confinement among adults was investigated. Subsequently, the current study examined sleep changes during COVID-19 using social media venues among adults in Jordan. A total of 1846 participants were recruited in the study, of which >92% reported a variety of confinement procedures such as self-quarantine, physical distancing, banning of public events, school closure, and lockdown. Additionally, the majority of the participants (53.1%-59.4%) reported an increase in most of the sleep parameters except a decrease (49.1% of the participants) in daytime sleep. Age and obesity seemed to contribute to the changes in sleeping hours while age contributed to sleep disturbance. Moreover, change in daytime sleeping was related to age, gender, and job type while the change in nighttime sleeping hours was associated with age, obesity, and job type. In conclusion, multiple factors, namely, age, gender, income, and job type, seemed to play a role in sleep quality during COVID-19-induced confinement. The majority of the participants experienced an increase in sleep disturbance, nighttime sleeping, sleeping hours as well as a reduction in daytime sleeping. Thus, intervention programs and strategies are warranted to further improve sleep among adults during the current and future disease-induced confinement.
Impact of COVID-19 on Food Behavior and Consumption in Qatar
Authors: Ben Hassen Tarek , El Bilali Hamid , Allahyari Mohammad S.
Published: December 2020

The Government of Qatar took strong containment measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 with restrictions on daily living such as social distancing and the closing of businesses and schools. While these measures are essential to stop the virus spreading, several voices came to warn of their potential disruptive impact on the agri-food system. Therefore, this paper investigates the immediate impacts of COVID-19 on Qatari consumer awareness, attitudes, and behaviors related to food consumption. The study is based on an online survey in Qatar using a structured questionnaire that was administered in the Arabic language through the Survey Monkey platform from 24 May until 14 June 2020. The results reveal clear changes in the way consumers are eating, shopping, and interacting with food. Indeed, the survey results suggested (i) a shift toward healthier diets; (ii) an increase in the consumption of domestic products due to food safety concerns; (iii) a change in the modality of acquiring food (with a surge in online grocery shopping); (iv) an increase in culinary capabilities; and (v) the absence of panic buying and food stockpiling in Qatar. The results are expected to inform current emergency plans as well as long-term food-related strategies in Qatar.
Host Genetic Variants Potentially Associated with SARS-Cov-2: A Multi-Population Analysis
Authors: Smatti Maria K. , Al-Sarraj Yasser , Albagha Omar , Yassine Hadi M.
Published: December 2020

Background: Clinical outcomes of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) showed enormous inter-individual and interpopulation differences, possibly due to host genetics differences. Earlier studies identified single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with SARS-CoV-1 in Eastern Asian (EAS) populations. In this report, we aimed at exploring the frequency of a set of genetic polymorphisms that could affect SARS-CoV-2 susceptibility or severity, including those that were previously associated with SARS-CoV-1. Methods: We extracted the list of SNPs that could potentially modulate SARS-CoV-2 from the genome wide association studies (GWAS) on SARS-CoV-1 and other viruses. We also collected the expression data of these SNPs from the expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) databases. Sequences from Qatar Genome Programme (QGP, n=6,054) and 1000Genome project were used to calculate and compare allelic frequencies (AF). Results: A total of 74 SNPs, located in 10 genes: ICAM3, IFN-γ, CCL2, CCL5, AHSG, MBL, Furin, TMPRSS2, IL4, and CD209 promoter, were identified. Analysis of Qatari genomes revealed significantly lower AF of risk variants linked to SARS-CoV-1 severity (CCL2, MBL, CCL5, AHSG, and IL4) compared to that of 1000Genome and/or the EAS population (up to 25-fold change). Conversely, SNPs in TMPRSS2, IFN-γ, ICAM3, and Furin were more common among Qataris (average 2-fold change). Inter-population analysis showed that the distribution of risk alleles among Europeans differs substantially from Africans and EASs. Remarkably, Africans seem to carry extremely lower frequencies of SARS-CoV-1 susceptibility alleles, reaching to 32-fold decrease compared to other populations. Conclusion: Multiple genetic variants, which could potentially modulate SARS-CoV-2 infection, are significantly variable between populations, with the lowest frequency observed among Africans. Our results highlight the importance of exploring population genetics to understand and predict COVID-19 outcomes. Indeed, further studies are needed to validate these findings as well as to identify new genetic determinants linked to SARS-CoV-2.
COVID-19 Preventive Measures & their Impact on Traffic Demand & Safety
Authors: Mohammad Anas Ahmad , Muley Deepti , Ghanim Mohammad Shareef , Kharbeche Mohamed Bin Mokhtar
Published: December 2020

COVID-19 has affected the mobility of people significantly due to movement restrictions imposed by government authorities to control the spread of the pandemic. The staged movement restrictions that have been implemented by the government authorities to curb the spread of the disease included the closure of educational institutions and adopt online-based education, restrict commercial activities, and reducing the number of employees at the workplace. This paper presents the impact of these mitigation policies on the traffic volumes, the number of traffic violations, and the number of crashes in the State of Qatar. The hourly distribution of traffic volume showed similar trends before and after the implementation of these policies. Overall, the total traffic decreased by 30% compared to baseline conditions for all selected intersections as well as the Central Business District (CBD) screenline after the implementation of all measures. From the safety perspective, the total traffic violations decreased by 73% in April and May when the restrictions due to all three policies were imposed. During the same time, a decrease of 42% to 54%, 20% to 54%, and around 36% was observed for traffic crashes involving deaths, major loss, and minor damages respectively. Similarly, the total traffic crashes declined by 37% when complete restrictions were in place and COVID-19 was in peak stage. The results of this study will help policymakers and planners to plan/manage the traffic operations in the future during any emergencies. The results can be applied also while managing traffic during the post-Covid era, special and mega-events for temporary traffic management based on real-life data.

Arranged Marriage: Adjusting Kafa’ah Can Reduce Trafficking of Women
Authors: Hafidzi Anwar , Rusdiyah Rusdiyah , Nurdin Nurdin
Published: December 2020

This study aims to find the concept of match making or coercion in marriage against women. Women are more sensitive to match making issues and express disagreement with practices that violate women’s rights and endanger their future. However, previous researchers also considered match making coercion, sowe tried to research what if it was adapted to the concept of kafa'ah according to Shariah. The method used in this researchis a literature review by looking at the book an-nikah by Shaykh Muhammad Arsyad Al-Banjari, written in the 17th century AD. Through a hermeneuticalapproach, the researcher explores the marriage problems that her parents thought to becornering women in marriage problems. We try to uncover marriage problems that are sometimes considered to push women into marriage problems by their parents. This research proves that the concept of kafa'ah in al-Banjari theory can eliminate the perception of match making with a coercive system, because in the kafa'ah what is prioritized is a person's faith relationship which is ultimatelyable to maintain the honor of his wife and family. Not only in terms of material, but more inclined to approach immaterial needs. The Immaterial approach is evidenced by the harmonious relationship between the two families of the bride and groom.

The virtual reference service (VRS) has been implemented by some libraries in Indonesia. This study aims to identify trends in VRS in some libraries in the Java Island. This research is a qualitative study using descriptive analysis presented as a percentage, then elaborated again with narration or description associated with the field and theory. Using purposive sampling technique, selected 12 libraries to be analyzed on the website. The sample consists of public libraries and special libraries. The results form 12 library samples found to bring trends in the form of presenting referral services if sorted from the most used by the library are email (91%), web forms (75%), chat references (67%), and SMS (8%). Both email and web form used for VSR is using the library's public email. Chat references available on the web library use the Tawk Live Chat App, add on Dalet Galaxy, Whatsapp and Line. VRS in SMS form is only used by the National Library. Email is the most common format used as a communication tool in VRS followed by web forms, chat references and SMS. The results of this study can be used as material for consideration to develop format of VRS in Indonesian libraries
Clericalismo e abuso sexual
Authors: Legrand Hervé
Published: December 2020

A ação dos meios de comunicação revelou as graves falhas das autoridades católicas no tratamento dos abusos sexuais, que não podemos reduzir a erros pessoais, segundo o Papa Francisco. Impõe-se remediar a atual eclesiologia clerical e autoritária para que advenha a sinodalidade no seio do Povo de Deus. Para se superar a dicotomia entre clero e laicato, que se tornou uma cisão, é preciso revalorizar notadamente o batismo, a teologia da vocação e da ordenação, assim como as concepções da autoridade e do Direito Canônico.
A questão do gênero no pós-estruturalismo e a autonomia da mulher
Authors: Silva Maria Emilia de Oliveira Schpallir
Published: December 2020

O pós-estruturalismo tem por característica marcante a desconstrução, operação crítica que se contrapõe às oposições binárias, entre elas a oposição hierárquica entre homens e mulheres, o que o faz ter uma relação direta com o feminismo e de onde surge o conceito de gênero, significado cultural assumido pelo corpo sexuado. O objetivo deste estudo é verificar o alcance do conceito gênero para o empoderamento da autonomia da mulher e consiste em um levantamento bibliográfico hermenêutico argumentativo. Responder de uma maneira ética às questões sobre a sexualidade e identidade, implica que a mulher recupere a verdadeira autonomia. A concepção de gênero pressupõe que a oposição binária homem-mulher implica necessariamente relações de poder que ferem essa autonomia. Conclui-se que o conceito gênero fragmenta a concepção de mulher, não empoderando sua autonomia, o que se dá pela afirmação de sua identidade, detentora dos mesmos direitos, respeito e igualdade, mesmo na diversidade sexual decorrente da reprodução sexuada da espécie.
Role of magnesium and minor zirconium on the wear behavior of 5xxx series aluminum alloys under different environments
Authors: Kaiser Mohammad Salim , Matin Mohammad Abdul , Shorowordi Kazi Mohammad
Published: December 2020

The tribological performance of 5xxx series aluminum alloys with ternary zirconium is evaluated at ambient conditions under dry, wet and saline environment. The experiment has been done using a Pin-on-Disk apparatus under an applied load of 20N. The sliding distances varies ranging from 116m-2772m at a sliding velocity of 0.385 ms-1. The results show that presence of Mg and Zr into this alloy helps to increase their strength and wear resistance under dry sliding condition. But they significantly suffer under wet and corrosive environment due to formation of β-phase Al3Mg2, to slip bands and grain boundaries which may lead to and stress-corrosion cracking. The variation of friction coefficient is observed in wet and corrosive environment due to the formation of oxidation film, lubrication, and corrosion action in solution. The SEM fracture surface shows that brittle Al3Mg2 phase initiate the brittle fracture surface for Al-Mg alloy and Zr addition accelerate the brittleness of the alloy owing the fine precipitates of Al3Zr.

The effect of Bilingualism on EFL elementary learners’ listening comprehension:
The case of Azeri- Turkish vs. Persian students
Authors: ARABMOFRAD Ali , SAEIDI Majid , MOTAMEDI Mohammad
Published: December 2020

Since the phenomenon of bilingualism is gradually increasing in the world, the
theory-driven and practically oriented investigation on bilingualism have increased
recently. However, a few studies have been conducted on the effect of bilingualism
on language learning in the multilingual and multicultural context of Iran. Therefore,
the main aim of the present study is to examine the effect of bilingualism on Iranian
EFL learners' listening comprehension in the case of Azeri-Turkish vs. Persian
students. The study employed a quasi-experimental design over 8 weeks with 44
female students assigned to one of the two experimental groups. To select bilingual
and monolingual groups, a biographical questionnaire was used. Then, Nelson
elementary proficiency test was administered to ensure the homogeneity of the
students. To fulfill the purpose of the study, 15 bilingual (Azeri-Persian) elementary
students in Fazilat high school in Ramian and 29 monolingual (Persian) elementary
students in Sama high school in Azadshahr were selected to participate in the
present study. Each group received 16 sessions of treatment in listening skill. Then,
the two groups' performance was compared on pretest and posttest consisting of a
multiple-choice and matching listening comprehension test. The results indicated
that there was no significant difference between the bilingual and monolingual
groups regarding their performance on listening comprehension, that is,
bilingualism did not affect listening comprehension.
História do pensamento da Etnogeomorfologia no Brasil: uma análise da origem do conceito e possíveis aplicações
Authors: Farias Paulo Lucas Cândido de , Corrêa Antonio Carlos de Barros , Ribeiro Simone Cardoso
Published: December 2020

As etnociências vêm ganhado visibilidade na construção do conhecimento científico, a partir dos saberes locais. Pode-se destacar o conceito da etnogeomorfologia, que no Brasil tem emergido como um novo tema de estudo que se agrega à geomorfologia acadêmica clássica. As comunidades tradicionais ao longo do tempo se utilizam de meios e formas para a produção de alimentos, tanto para subsistência, quanto para comercialização local e, para tanto, estabelecem uma compreensão particular dos saberes sobre o ambiente físico/natural, sobre o qual acumularam experiências por meio das suas vivências. O aprofundamento nesta temática é essencial como ferramenta para auxiliar o planejamento espacial e tomada de decisão sobre a gestão dos recursos naturais disponíveis para essas comunidades. Tanto no Brasil quanto no exterior, a proposta etnogeomorfológica valoriza e reconhece os saberes locais e tenta compreender a dinâmica geomorfológica da paisagem a partir das práticas de produtores rurais. Esse enfoque permite retroalimentar propostas de estudos aplicados voltados à gestão e ao planejamento do uso da terra, assim como, à conservação dos solos e das geoformas que integram as paisagens.
