Authors: Wang Daichun , You Wei , Zang Zengliang , Pan Xiaobin , Hu Yiwen , Liang Yanfei
Published: March 2022

Abstract. This paper presents a three-dimensional variational (3DVAR) data
assimilation (DA) system for aerosol optical properties, including aerosol
optical thickness (AOT) retrievals and lidar-based aerosol profiles, developed for the Model for Simulating Aerosol Interactions and
Chemistry (MOSAIC) within the Weather Research and Forecasting model coupled
to Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model. For computational efficiency, 32 model
variables in the MOSAIC_4bin scheme are lumped into 20
aerosol state variables that are representative of mass concentrations in
the DA system. To directly assimilate aerosol optical properties, an
observation operator based on the Mie scattering theory was employed, which
was obtained by simplifying the optical module in WRF-Chem. The tangent
linear (TL) and adjoint (AD) operators were then established and passed the
TL/AD sensitivity test. The Himawari-8 derived AOT data were assimilated to
validate the system and investigate the effects of assimilation on both AOT
and PM2.5 simulations. Two comparative experiments were performed with
a cycle of 24 h from 23 to 29 November 2018, during which a heavy air
pollution event occurred in northern China. The DA performances of the model
simulation were evaluated against independent aerosol observations,
including the Aerosol Robotic Network (AERONET) AOT and surface PM2.5
measurements. The results show that Himawari-8 AOT assimilation can
significantly improve model AOT analyses and forecasts. Generally, the
control experiments without assimilation seriously underestimated AOTs
compared with observed values and were therefore unable to describe real
aerosol pollution. The analysis fields closer to observations improved AOT
simulations, indicating that the system successfully assimilated AOT
observations into the model. In terms of statistical metrics, assimilating
Himawari-8 AOTs only limitedly improved PM2.5 analyses in the inner
simulation domain (D02); however, the positive effect can last for over 24 h. Assimilation effectively enlarged the underestimated PM2.5
concentrations to be closer to the real distribution in northern China, which
is of great value for studying heavy air pollution events.
Overestimation and adjustment of Antarctic ice flow velocity fields reconstructed from historical satellite imagery

Abstract. Antarctic ice velocity maps describe the ice flow
dynamics of the ice sheet and are one of the primary components used to
estimate the Antarctic mass balance and contribution to global sea level
changes. In comparison to velocity maps derived from recent satellite images
of monthly to weekly time spans, historical maps, from before the 1990s,
generally cover longer time spans, e.g., over 10 years, due to the scarce
spatial and temporal coverage of earlier satellite image data. We found
velocity overestimations (OEs) in such long-span maps that can be mainly
attributed to velocity gradients and time span of the images used. In
general, they are less significant in slow-flowing grounded regions with low
spatial accelerations. Instead, they take effect in places of high ice
dynamics, for example, near grounding lines and often in ice shelf fronts.
Velocities in these areas are important for estimating ice sheet mass
balance and analyzing ice shelf instability. We propose an innovative
Lagrangian velocity-based method for OE correction without the use of field
observations or additional image data. The method is validated by using a
set of ground truth velocity maps for the Totten Glacier and Pine Island
Glacier which are produced from high-quality Landsat 8 images from 2013 to
2020. Subsequently, the validated method is applied to a historical velocity
map of the David Glacier region from images from 1972–1989 acquired during
Landsat 1, 4, and 5 satellite missions. It is demonstrated that velocity overestimations of up to 39 m a−1 for David Glacier and 195 m a−1 for Pine Island Glacier can be effectively corrected. Furthermore, temporal
acceleration information, e.g., on basal melting and calving activities, is
preserved in the corrected velocity maps and can be used for long-term ice
flow dynamics analysis. Our experiment results in the Pine Island Glacier (PIG) show that OEs of a
15-year span can reach up to 1300 m a−1 along the grounding line and
cause an overestimated grounding line (GL) flux of 11.5 Gt a−1 if not corrected. The
magnitudes of the OEs contained in both velocity and mass balance estimates
are significant. When used alongside recent velocity maps of 1990s–2010s,
they may lead to underestimated long-term changes for assessment and
forecast modeling of the global climate change impact on the Antarctic ice
sheet. Therefore, the OEs in the long-span historical maps must be seriously
examined and corrected. We recommend that overestimations of more than the
velocity mapping uncertainty (1σ) be corrected. This velocity
overestimation correction method can be applied to the production of
regional and ice-sheet-wide historical velocity maps from long-term
satellite images.

A vast majority of social science students experience statistics anxiety in their statistics class, a course often perceived as the most difficult one of their academic paths. The present study examines the role of attitudes towards statistics, cognitive emotion regulation strategies, and satisfaction of psychological needs in the prediction of statistics anxiety as well as the contribution of gender onto statistics anxiety. Two hundred forty-two undergraduate social sciences students in Canada completed the study. Positive attitude towards statistics, fewer maladaptive emotion regulation strategies, and satisfaction of psychological needs were related to less statistics anxiety; adaptive emotion regulation strategies, however, were not. Furthermore, women experienced more statistics anxiety than men. Results provide insight about individual differences that may impact experiences of statistics anxiety and overall learning in the context of a statistics course.

Akad Murabahah yang selama ini lebih banyak digunakan oleh perbankan syariah dalam merealisasikan fungsi pembiayaannya ternyata memiliki kelemahan, kendatipun model akad ini lebih pasti dan mudah. Namun, kepastian semacam itu justru menjadi kelemahan bagi bank tatkala dunia perbankan tak terkecualikan bank syariah menyesuaikan jumlah kredit yang harus dibayarkan oleh nasabah dengan tingkat suku bunga. Di saat yang sama ada problem syariah yang menjadi penghambat jika model suku bunga tersebut diterapkan dalam bank syariah. Maka, musyarakah mutanaqisah menjadi sebuah solusi bagi perbankan syariah dalam merealisasikan pembiayaan yang bersifat konsumtif dengan menyesuaika nilai kredit dari nasabah yang bisa berubah-ubah (anuitas). Selanjutnya dalam penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa ijtihad yang dilakukan oleh DSN-MUI dalam merumuskan fatwa musyarakah mutanaqisah memiliki argumentasi yang kuat baik dari al-Qur’an, hadits dan pendapat-pendapat ulama terdahulu. Meskipun bentuk musyarakah mutanaqisah ini adalah jenis perongsian bisnis yang baru, namun dengan pendekatan penggabungan jenis beberapa akad (hybrid contract) bisa menjadi solusi bagi dunia perbankan dan memberikan kemudahan bagi nasabah.

Relationship between Habitual Physical Activity, Depression and Functional Mobility in Older Adults - A Pilot Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Mezhunnath Keerthi , Santhakumar Haripriya , Thunga Ravish
Published: March 2022

Introduction: Ageing is characterized by a decline in mobility function and mental health. Physical activity can possibly play a role in maintaining mental health and functional independence in older adults, but it is seen that elderly persons do not tend to be adequately physically active.
Purpose: To assess physical activity, depression and functional mobility in older adults and to determine the relationship between these factors in them.
Materials and Methods: A pilot cross sectional study was conducted on 40 older adults with age ≥ 65 years (mean=69.72, SD=± 4.95). Physical activity was assessed using Short Form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ- SF), depression with Short Form Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS- SF) and functional mobility using Time Up and Go test (TUG).
Statistical Analysis: The data was analyzed using Spearman co-efficient of correlation and regression analysis to examine the relationship between IPAQ, GDS and TUG scores.
Results: A significant negative correlation was found between GDS and IPAQ and with IPAQ and TUG. Between GDS and TUG, there was a significant positive correlation. All correlations were significant with p value <0.05. Regression analysis showed that increased IPAQ scores could predict lower TUG scores and lower GDS scores.
Conclusion: There was a significant association between level of physical activity, depression, and functional mobility in older adults. Each of these factors needs to be considered when addressing others, considering the relationship between them. Encouraging elderly persons to stay physically active can help maintain their physical and mental health.

Keywords: Older adults, Physical activity, Depression, Functional mobility, Fear of fall, Loneliness.
Study of seismic risk perception in Craiova municipality
Authors:   University of Craiova, Geography Department, NENIU Adelina
Published: March 2022

This study aims to evaluate the perception of the population regarding the potential danger generated by earthquakes in Craiova. Although it is located at a significant distance from the main seismic region of Romania (i.e. about 400 km from Vrancea), Craiova Municipality is still in an area with seismic risk according to the National Institute of Research and Development for Earth Physics (NIEP/INFP in Romanian). Regarding the seismic area in Romania, Craiova is classified at an 8 level on the MSK scale (according to Law no. 575/2001); moreover, the strong earthquakes produced in the last half-century had some notable effects on the territory of the municipality. In Craiova, the deficiencies concerning the anti-seismic education, the condition of the old constructions that are still used, the non-conforming structural changes brought to the buildings, etc. may increase the risk of an earthquake of medium and high magnitude. The present paper is based on the random sampling of 120 people from Craiova Municipality regarding their perception of earthquakes. It was found that half of them experienced at least one major earthquake (particularly that of 1977, which caused significant property damage and fatalities). The personal experience of such an earthquake or the participation in the simulative exercises of an earthquake in the city determines some of the respondents consider that they have learned how to behave during an earthquake. On the other hand, some of the respondents (especially the single or retired ones) expressed their lack of trust in the help they could receive during an earthquake.
Development of a real-time PCR assay to detect and quantify the tropical root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne arenaria) in latently infected potato seed
Authors: Onkendi Edward , Moleleki Lucy
Published: March 2022

Tropical root-knot nematodes (M. incognita, M. arenaria and M. javanica) are a serious problem to most crops, both cultivated and non-cultivated. In the recent past, accurate detection and discrimination of tropical Meloidogyne spp. has been achieved through the development of DNA-based diagnostic assays among others real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) to complement results obtained using morphological and biochemical-based diagnostic methods. However, despite the developments, most of the current methods have not been optimized to quantify and characterize the tropical Meloidogyne spp. particularly in latent infections. Currently, this is a big problem in potato seed production where latently infected tubers often get distributed resulting in the distribution of root-knot nematodes to new areas. In this study, we sought to develop and validate a diagnostic method of quantifying root-knot nematode, M. arenaria in latently infected potato seed tubers. Study findings indicated that there is a high (R2 > 0.953) and significant (P < 0.05) positive correlation between target DNA concentration and Ct values, and the assays can be used to quantify as low as 1.53/100th of DNA associated with individual juvenile nematodes. Using high resolution melting curve analysis, Meloidogyne arenaria samples produced specific melting peaks (79.32 ± 0.029°C, P < 0.05) clearly distinguishing themselves from other tropical Meloidogyne species (M. incognita 79.50 ± 0.022°C and M. javanica 79.96 ± 0.046°C). The development of the high-resolution melting curve (HRMC) analysis method for quantification and characterization of M. arenaria in this study will greatly improve on accurate screening of this pathogen during latent infections to curb potato losses often associated with distribution of infected seed.

A pragmatic randomized clinical trial The use of videofeedback technique at home (Video-feedback In- tervention to promote Positive Parenting and Sensitive Discipli- ne - VIPP-SD) is evaluated. This is the first video-feedback RCT carried out in a primary care setting. 300 families with children aged 12-36 months who had an upper range score for behaviour problems (Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire - SDQ) were involved. The intervention proved to be effective in reducing early behavioural problems in 1 and 2 year old children. The benefits of the intervention are seen in behavioural problems rather than in attention problems and are more evident when the initial symp- toms are worse. No appreciable differences were recorded for all the outcomes concerning parents (educational practices, mood, anxiety, functioning of the parental couple).

The article substantiates the need to consider the soil sediment of the foundation of any structure not as a vertical displacement of the structure due to compression, compaction or other changes in the rocks lying at its base, but as a multifactorial integral engineering-geological process associated with vertical subsidence of the soil of the base of buildings and structures, due to a decrease in soil volume due to its deformation under load or changes (deterioration) of its strength and deformation properties in the process of natural and technogenic effects. For the first time, S. N. Sotnikov’s graph of the inaccuracy in calculating the settlement of soil of the base, calculated by the method of layer-by-layer summation to the actually observed. It is noted that the estimated predicted precipitation of base soils provided by the project for slightly compressible soils, as a rule, is 40–60% higher than actual ones, and for highly compressible soils (weak soils), actual precipitation can be several times higher than calculated. The authors see such a discrepancy in the mechanical approach to modeling the process of sedimentation of base soils, while sediment of base soils is a multifactorial engineering and geological process that changes in space and time. A number of examples in various regions of the country show a wide range of different natural geological and technogenic processes that affect the unevenness, size and duration of sedimentation of base soils under various buildings and structures. Examples of management and regulation of these processes are given

The investigation was conducted during the year 2005 – 2006 which was laid out in Factorial Completely Randomized Design with five treatments, viz.; T0 (Open land), T1 (Cultivated land), T2 (Dendrocalamus strictus), T3 (Casuarina equisetifolia) and T4 (Eucalyptus tereticornis) with four replications. The soil samples were collected from three depth (0 – 20, 20 – 40 and 40 – 60 cm). The organic carbon content, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potash, porosity and water holding capacity of soil increased in 0 – 20 cm surface layer as compared to deep layer of the soil i.e. D2 and D3. However, in case of tree species organic carbon content, available nitrogen and phosphorus were highest under Casuarina equisetifolia, whereas potash recorded under Dendrocalamus strictus plantation. Maximum water holding capacity and porosity were found under Eucalyptus tereticornis plantation. Here also degree of improvement goes down with an increase in depth of soil.

Authors: Sen Tara , Samant Sher
Published: March 2022

Present study has been focused on assessment of diversity, distribution and indigenous uses of medicinal plants in the Rissa Khad Watershed, Himachal Pradesh. A total of 546 medicinal plants belonging to 125 families and 393 genera were recorded. These species are distributed between 700-2150m. Of the total medicinal plants recorded, 92 species were native and 36 species near endemic to the IHR. Two species i.e., Pimpinella acuminata and Pittosporum eriocarpum were endemic to the IHR. Maximum species were used for skin diseases followed by wounds and injuries, dysentery, stomach problem, headache, eye diseases, cough, asthma, tonic, snake bite, teeth problem, cold, boils, abortificent, rheumatism, sores and piles, respectively. The continued over exploitation and habitat degradation of some of the commercially viable species may lead to their extinction from the wild in near future. Ecological assessment of the native, endemic and commercially viable species, investigation of active ingradients, mass multiplication of native, endemic and commercially viable medicinal plants through conventional (vegetative and seeds) and in-vitro (Tissue culture) methods, and establisment in natural habitats (in situ conditions) and ex situ conditions, and promotion of education and awareness among the inhabitants for the conservation and sustainable utilization of medicinal plants have been suggested.

Published: March 2022

Quasi-horizontal, 48-hr air trajectories are constructed over the Indian Ocean utilizing a mean sea level map for July and a series of daily maps in June 1970. The purpose of this calculation is to provide a field of trajectories based on the broad scale pressure gradient. Special emphasis is placed on those trajectories associated with the East African jet, the southern equatorial trough and the monsoon trough.

Results included in this article showed that reasonably representative trajectories were calculated. Furthermore, the derived vorticity and divergence fields (not shown here) showed fair association with the significant synoptic features.
Radon daughter's radioactivity levels in the Arabian Sea as indicators of airmass mixing

Published: March 2022

Measurements on radon daughter's activities in the Arabian Sea were carried out during the period 19 May to 9 July 1973, under the joint Indo-USSR MONEX-73 project. The data were collected on board the ships of the Indian Navy cruising between 19°N- 21°N, within longitudes 60°E- 73°E and the two USSR vessels Okean and Priliv cruising between latitudes 0°-10°N and 10°N-18°N, respectively. The results show that there is a significant increase in radon daughter's activity at about 19°N-21°N, the average level being of the order of about 8 pci/m3 as compared to 1-2 pci/n13 at lower latitudes. This is explained, on the basis of synoptic charts and available sounding data, as being due to the wind and pressure pattern prevailing during the monsoon months which result in the transport of continental -air from Arabia and Pakistan and its mixing with the maritime monsoon airmass of southern hemispheric origin. The significant increase .in radon activity on some days of the cruise was mainly due to the existence of disturbances like depressions, cyclonic storms, etc, over the north Arabian Sea, or due to the passage of Western disturbances at a relatively lower latitudes (along approximately 25°N) and their associated circulation patterns. These phenomena favour significant transport of continental air from the north a~ west. The mixing of this continental airmass with the airmass of low radon concentrations results in increasing the average randon levels from 1 to 8 pci/m3.
Participant and Socio-Ecological Outcomes of the Hofmann Open-Water Laboratory (HOWL) Citizen Science Project

Published: March 2022

Citizen science, also known as participatory research, combines the efforts of professional researchers and community volunteers to collect data. We have established one such collaborative project in eastern North Carolina, near the 79,000-acre Hofmann Forest, called the Hofmann Open-Water Laboratory (HOWL) citizen science project. The White Oak River, New River, and Trent River all flow out of the Hofmann. The Hofmann is an ecological keystone in the region, acting as a natural filtration system for harmful runoff that occurs in the coastal plain of North Carolina. Our purposes for this study were twofold: (a) to evaluate the HOWL project by assessing the perceptions of HOWL participants and determining whether the project achieved its goals of individual development and community engagement and (b) to provide recommendations for the HOWL project as well as suggestions for other participatory research projects in their beginning phases. We interviewed 12 HOWL citizen scientists who participated in the project, and we drew two major conclusions from our research. First, we recognized that community engagement and collaboration drastically increased in rural eastern North Carolina due to the community members’ participation in water monitoring and natural resource management. Second, citizen scientists achieved their personal goals and objectives by participating in the HOWL project: Participants reported that they learned new skills, gained knowledge of scientific and research procedures, developed an attachment to their community and region, and acted as environmental stewards.
DEVELOPING EQUITABLE ELEMENTARY CLASSROOM PLACEMENT ROUTINES

Published: March 2022

The annual assignment of elementary students from one classroom to the next is a ubiquitous cycle in schools. Since student class assignment has an effect on students’ educational trajectory, understanding how placement procedures impact student equity is an important area of research with benefits for all stakeholders. In this action research project, survey data was collected to examine what student data points teachers found most meaningful as well as what elements participants considered the most effective and the least beneficial components of the previous piloted placement procedures at a central California elementary school. The findings of this research demonstrated that respondents valued intervention data, such as English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) levels or special education (SPED) status, English Language Arts (ELA)/Math achievement data, and behavior data. However, they also expressed hesitancy over certain narrative or subjective information. Respondents also reported that, while multi-grade level cooperation was a valuable component of the placement process, the procedures needed to be more clearly systematized. Findings suggest that by linking placement procedures to existing Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) structures, the placement process can more effectively address issues of student equity and achievement.
EXPLORING SERVICE LEARNING FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD PRE-SERVICE TEACHER EDUCATION

Published: March 2022

Service learning has been stressed as an effective pedagogical approach to enhance students’ professional skills and citizenship for future development. However, service-learning research concerning early childhood pre-service teacher education has been rarely done. This study explored how undergraduate students in an early childhood pre-service teacher education program experienced in seven different service learning activities and discussed the meanings of their experiences from the perspective of early childhood pre-service teacher education. Participants in the study were 99 undergraduate students of early childcare and education. Their speech reflections, SL (Service learning) reports and verbal presentations during the course and service learning were analyzed qualitatively. The study revealed participants experienced emotion processes. In addition, participants learned professional skills and formed their teacher traits. How to balance the student choice and the goals of the course from SL activity needs to be taken into account.

Published: March 2022

Avanços em estudos sobre Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) indicam contribuições e desafios de familiares, de educadores e de especialistas para auxiliar no desenvolvimento de pessoas autistas. Buscou-se, por meio de revisão integrativa da literatura, investigar as possíveis relações entre família, escola e especialistas no desenvolvimento dessas pessoas. A busca foi realizada nos sites EBSCO Discovery Service (EDS), Pubmed, Google Scholar e CAPES Periódicos, a partir dos descritores "autismo" + "família" + "escola" + "especialista" + "revisão" + "desenvolvimento", escritos em português e em inglês, consideradas publicações feitas entre os anos de 2016 e 2019. Foram selecionados e analisados 20 trabalhos em português e em inglês versando sobre a temática. Os dados foram tratados pelo método de análise de conteúdo. Indicou-se que por meio da aquisição de conhecimentos, da colaboração mútua e do enfrentamento de desafios da condição pelos mencionados grupos, é possível auxiliar no desenvolvimento de pessoas autistas.

A presente pesquisa teve como objetivo compreender a abordagem da temática corpo e saúde nas aulas de Educação Física (EF) observando a organização e desenvolvimento dessa temática pelo professor. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo que encontra na etnografia o seu referencial metodológico. Para o desenvolvimento do estudo foi utilizado como instrumento de coleta de dados a observação participante, com o uso de um roteiro de observação das aulas de Educação Física que contemplou os atores escolares envolvidos e o tema pesquisado. O instrumento escolhido foi utilizado por sua possível harmonização com o estudo realizado em âmbito escolar O estudo contou com a participação de 26 alunos e um professor de Educação Física de uma escola estadual do ensino médio da cidade de Santos-SP. Os dados coletados foram tratados à luz da análise de conteúdo. Nesse estudo, foi possível perceber a existência de uma divisão entre aula teórica e prática, sendo que as aulas práticas priorizam o esporte, enquanto que as aulas teóricas apresentam o tema saúde em uma perspectiva fundamentada nos aspectos biológicos. Por isso, ressaltamos a necessidade de se reinterpretar o cenário composto pela EF e o tema saúde. Nesse sentido, pensamos na possibilidade de se aprofundar na escola os temas existentes e abordados nas aulas de EF, mas considerando e fundamentado a saúde sob a ótica de um conceito ampliado que considere o ser humano no todo, inclusive, em seu contexto social.
A homofobia familiar disfarçada de cuidado
Authors: Gomes Coelho Gilson , Oliveira Barros João Henrique
Published: March 2022

O presente estudo trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura brasileira, cuja finalidade consistiu em levantar informações e reflexões acerca da homofobia vivenciada por pessoas homossexuais no seio familiar. O levantamento dos dados ocorrera durante os meses de setembro e outubro de 2020, nas bases de dados: Google Acadêmico, Pepsic, biblioteca eletrônica Scielo e Banco de dados de teses e dissertações CAPES. Foram selecionados 17 estudos, dos quais foram extraídos dois eixos temáticos: A família de origem como provedora de violência; e a homofobia disfarçada de cuidado. Constatou-se que apesar de haver uma quantidade relevante de discussões acerca da homofobia, ainda é escassa os estudos que envolvem a homofobia familiar. Conclui-se que os homossexuais são violentados em todos os lugares. Nota-se que é de suma importância levar as discussões a respeito do tema para além do campo acadêmico, de modo a democratizar o conhecimento e assim tentar trazer para a consciência das pessoas o quão violento são as normas sociais para pessoas homossexuais, na tentativa de romper com as práticas violentas impostas pelas normas sociais.
A influência do jornalismo na constituição dos fundos sociais de conhecimento: o caso de Monte Alegre - PR
Authors: Braun Vieira Ana Flávia , Freitas Junior Miguel Archanjo de
Published: March 2022

Uma vez que o processo de civilização de qualquer sociedade é orientado pelos saberes que circulam em seu interior, este trabalho estudou a influência do jornalismo na constituição dos fundos sociais de conhecimento. Tomando a cidade-empresa de Monte Alegre (atual município de Telêmaco Borba – PR) como paradigma empírico, foi realizada a análise de conteúdo temática das crônicas de Marenfis (pseudônimo de João Marenda), publicadas em 1948 e 1964 no jornal O Tibagi, buscando conhecer aspectos dos saberes socialmente partilhados em seu espaço de circulação e da transformação comportamental local - mobilizada principalmente pelas narrativas que incitavam o medo e a vergonha. Além de elementos sócio e psicogenético específicos da figuração analisada, os resultados do estudo também indicam que as narrativas jornalísticas, ao mobilizar um conjunto de saberes específico, intermediam as experiências possíveis em seu espaço de abrangência – podendo até mesmo alterar o ritmo dos processos de civilização.
Redes sociais, masculinidade hegemônica e violência: o machismo como elemento (des) civilizacional no Brasil
Authors: Pereira Marcio Jose , Gamas Luciane Cristina
Published: March 2022

O controle das pulsões e o declínio da violência são elementos apontados por Norbert Elias como aspectos civilizacionais e que a partir do modelo da escada podemos evocar a elevação ou a decadência de grupos humanos de um nível para outro, uma vez que, a curva civilizacional não é um contínuo ininterrupto e pode sofrer em diferentes fases do processo. Descivilização significa uma transformação em direção oposta, uma redução nítida da simpatia pelo outro ou por seu grupo. Sopesando que 58% dos brasileiros possuem, ao menos, um perfil ativo em redes sociais, pretendemos analisar postagens atuais em páginas da rede social Facebook™ que remetam ou considerem como ponto de partida: a) promoção de comportamento machista; b) incitação a violência de gênero; c) manutenção de estereótipos vinculados a virilidade, e d) menosprezo a mulheres e grupos LGBTQIA+. Se a dominação masculina, como afirma Pierre Bourdieu, está ancorada no inconsciente e as estruturas simbólicas que ratificam esse inconsciente androcêntrico sobrevivem em homens e mulheres ainda hoje, buscaremos, em diálogo, com a teoria eliasiana tratar quais os mecanismos e instituições que possibilitam a manutenção desses costumes que não contribuem para a equidade de gênero e quais figurações carecem maior atenção para o reforço do autocontrole e para a determinação de políticas públicas para a promoção da equidade de gênero e o combate da violência ocasionada por comportamentos vinculados a uma masculinidade tóxica.
“É uma menina!”: marcas da educação feminina e relações de gênero na família
Authors: Campos Míria Izabel , Sarat Magda
Published: March 2022

Pensar diferenças e desnaturalizar desigualdades se faz necessário, pois o caminho para conquista de relações de gênero equânimes é longo, com avanços e recuos no processo. Neste contexto, a proposta é trazer para o debate a educação feminina e as relações de gênero vivenciadas na família, figuração entendida a partir da teoria do processo civilizador como constituída por teias de interdependência. Assim, o objetivo foi identificar e problematizar relações de gênero que permearam a educação feminina presentes em histórias escritas por mulheres/acadêmicas de Pedagogia, da Universidade Federal da Grande Dourados (UFGD), Mato Grosso do Sul. O corpus da pesquisa foi formado por 20 memoriais de infância (auto)biográficos, documentos do arquivo pessoal de professora da referida universidade. Utilizaram-se para análises o referencial teórico eliasiano, abordagem (auto)biográfica e estudos de gênero. Os resultados apontaram que meninas e meninos carregam marcas dos contextos os quais se originam, pois são dependentes do seu grupo familiar para se situarem no mundo. Evidenciou-se que a infância de meninas está condicionada a uma educação coercitiva e formas de submissão e controle estabelecidos a elas, que comparada à história dos meninos, sugere desequilíbrio entre os gêneros. Porém, as problematizações dão conta de processos de transformação em curso. Sendo assim, conclui-se, a família foi lembrada como figuração que marcou a vida das mulheres/acadêmicas, mas ao rememorarem suas infâncias podem ter compreendido que nas relações interdependentes elas são constituídas, mas também constituem tais relações. Portanto, a depender de suas posturas e ações será possível vivenciar tempos de maior equilíbrio da balança de poder.
Estágio curricular supervisionado: concepções dos acadêmicos do curso de licenciatura em Educação do Campo – Artes Visuais e Música da Universidade Federal do Tocantins, Câmpus Arraias
Authors: Martins Oliveira Magalhães Solange , Tavares de Moura Sílvia Adriane
Published: March 2022

O artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que busca compreender as perspectivas de estudantes matriculados nos Estágios Curriculares Supervisionados I e II, do Curso de Licenciatura em Educação do Campo: Artes Visuais e Música na UFT, Campus de Arraias, sobre as experiências no estágio, considerado como expressão da indissociabilidade da relação teoria e prática, a partir de uma concepção de Educação do Campo crítica e contra hegemônica. Pautando-nos na matriz teórica do Materialismo Histórico-dialético, discutimos a trajetória do estágio, suas aproximações ou lacunas entre formação e atuação como componente da historicidade do curso analisado. Os resultados mostram que o estágio possibilita aos/às estudantes, subsídios e elementos teórico-práticos relacionados à prática curricular, evidenciando a complexidade do trabalho docente no estágio, mas ainda se encontra distanciado do entendimento mediante o que vem a ser a indissociabilidade entre teoria e prática, o que permite a manutenção de uma concepção dicotômica de estágio. Os resultados da pesquisa nos permitem recomendar que o Estágio Curricular Supervisionado (ES) promove a conscientização do que seja uma educação crítica numa perspectiva de qualidade social, mas ainda se faz necessário avançar na construção de um discurso e ideário pedagógico literalmente articulado à concepção de educação libertadora. O Estágio também evidenciou a necessidade de intensificar a ênfase aos aspectos constitutivos de uma concepção de Educação do Campo, a partir de uma lógica revolucionária, contra hegemônica, em respeito à luta e militâncias dos movimentos sociais.
As lutas nas aulas de Educação Física: o que este contexto escolar nos propõe?
Authors: Aparecido Galindo Vinicius , Garbin Tenório Jederson , Aragão Ronsó da Costa Lima Jean
Published: March 2022

Este trabalho tem como finalidade analisar os jogos como ferramenta no ensino das lutas nas aulas de Educação Física (EF). Diante da defasagem que se percebe desse conteúdo em boa parte das escolas brasileiras, acredita-se ser importante redimensionar o papel da luta como parte da própria cultura. A inserção das lutas no contexto escolar é fundamental no desenvolvimento cognitivo, social e motor dos alunos. A metodologia utilizada é o levantamento bibliográfico e documental, por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa. Considera-se que as lutas devem ter uma aproximação com a prática da EF escolar podendo contribuir com uma visão renovada, além de apresentar aos alunos os conteúdos e os modos de abordar as lutas, por meio da ludicidade necessária para cada etapa de ensino.
