Detection of multiple cracks in a beam by means natural frequencies of transverse vibrations
Authors: Лебедев Иван Михайлович , Шифрин Ефим Ильич
Published: December 2020

Рассматривается задача обнаружения множественных, поперечных трещин в стержне с помощью собственных частот поперечных колебаний. В недавней статье авторов доказано, что любое количество трещин однозначно восстанавливается по трем спектрам, отвечающим трем различным типам краевых условий. В статье также предложен алгоритм идентификации повреждений, вносимых трещинами. Помимо этого, высказано предположение, что для однозначной идентификации трещиноподобных дефектов на самом деле достаточно знать два спектра. Для проверки этого предположения разработана модификация предложенного ранее численного алгоритма. Рассмотрены численные примеры. Полученные результаты дают основание полагать, что высказанное предположение справедливо.

A problem of detection of multiple transverse cracks in a beam by means of natural frequencies of transverse vibrations is considered. It is proved in the recent paper of the authors that an arbitrary number of cracks can be uniquely determined by three spectra corresponding to three types of the end conditions. An algorithm of reconstruction the damages corresponding the cracks is also developed. In addition, it was assumed that the cracks can be detected using only two spectra. To verify this supposition a modification of the previously developed algorithm is proposed. Numerical examples are considered. The obtained results confirm the assumption.
Hydromechanic instability of crystals growth by Czochralski method
Authors: Верезуб Наталия Анатольевна , Простомолотов Анатолий Иванович
Published: December 2020

Рассмотрен один из механизмов гидромеханической неустойчивости при выращивании кристаллов из расплава методом Чохральского, связанный с явлением образования «холодных термиков» в подкристальной области. С этой целью проанализированы результаты, полученные по двум математическим моделям: 1 - без и 2 - с учетом процесса кристаллизации. В первом случае модельной жидкостью был этанол, а положение фронта кристаллизации задавалось изотермой кристаллизации и было неизменным. В рамках такого подхода были исследованы особенности перехода от стационарного течения жидкости к его неустойчивым модам, сопровождающимся формированием, развитием и отрывом «холодного термика» от фронта (изотермы) кристаллизации. Во втором случае модельными расплавами были два материала с температурой плавления, близкой к комнатной: гептадекан и галлий, которые существенно различаются коэффициентами теплопроводности. В этом случае было изучено влияние термомеханических параметров на формирование формы фронта кристаллизации и возникновение гидромеханической неустойчивости в виде «холодных термиков».

The mechanism of hydromechanical instability during Czochralski crystal growth from a melt is considered, which is associated with the formation of “cold plumes” under the crystal. For this purpose, the results obtained by two mathematical models: 1 - without and 2 - taking into account the crystallization process are analyzed. In the first case, an ethanol was as the model fluid, and the position of the crystallization front was set by the crystallization isotherm and was unchanged. Within the framework of this approach, the features of a transition from a stationary fluid flow to its unstable modes were studied, which are accompanied by the formation, development, and separation of “cold plumes” from the crystallization front (isotherm). In the second case, the model melts were as two materials with a melting point close to room temperature: heptadecane and gallium, which significantly differ in thermal conductivity. In this case, the influence of thermomechanical parameters on the formation of the crystallization front shape and the occurrence of hydromechanical instability in the form of "cold plumes"was studied.

Изучается процесс непрерывного наращивания под действием крутящего момента. Предлагаются методы решения поставленных краевых задач путем приведения задач теории наращивания к задачам теории упругости с внутренним параметром. Приводятся формулы расшифровки для восстановления истинных параметров напряженно-деформированного состояния. Исследуется распределение интенсивности касательных напряжений на различных стадиях процесса наращивания. Приводятся расчеты задачи кручения призматического стержня с сечением в форме правильного треугольника.

The paper considers the problem of torsion of a growing triangular cross-section bar made of a viscoelastic aging functionally-graded material with integral boundary conditions at the ends. The process of continuous growth under the influence of torque is studied. Methods for solving the set boundary value problems by reducing the problems of the growth theory to the problems of the theory of elasticity with an internal parameter are proposed. Deciphering formulas are given to restore the true parameters of the stress-strain state. The distribution of the shear stress intensity at different stages of the growth process is investigated. Calculations of the problem of torsion of a prismatic bar with a cross-section in the form of a regular triangle are presented.

Authors: Идрисов Дим Маратович
Published: December 2020

Рассматривается задача о полосе, состоящей из двух ортотропных упругих слоев, разделенных полу-бесконечной трещиной, расположенной вдоль линии между слоями. Предполагается, что упругие слои имеют отношение толщин один к двум, а также разные упругие константы, ограниченные определенными условиями (равенство нулю второго параметра Дандура, условие дегенеративности и т.д.). Для рассматриваемой задачи выполнено численное моделирование в программном комплексе МКЭ, для четырех различных комбинаций приложенных сил и моментов. Механическая нагрузка была приложена на расстояние равное двадцатикратной ширине пластины. По полученным распределениям компонент тензора напряжений, вдоль линии, разделяющей два слоя, с помощью прямого метода рассчитаны коэффициенты интенсивности напряжений. Показано, что полученные результаты соответствуют аналитическому решению для случая, когда нагрузка приложена на бесконечности.
L’uso dei proverbi nell’insegnamento della lingua italiana
Authors: Alujević Marijana , Braović Plavša Mira
Published: December 2020

I proverbi con la loro forma particolare, fissa e concisa, ritmicamente organizzata e
stimolante adempiono un ruolo di trasferimento d’esperienze, sapere popolare e
cognizioni essenziali per la sopravvivenza. Vengono considerati validi strumenti per
raggiungere diversi obiettivi educativi e per chiarire il rapporto tra cultura e lingua. La
complessità nel collocare e nell’analizzare la struttura dei proverbi spesso scoraggia
i docenti ostacolando l᾽impiego didattico di questa inesauribile fonte di diverse
sfaccettature didattiche. In questo contributo vengono proposti svariati usi dei proverbi nell’apprendimento dell’italiano come lingua straniera. Un᾽unità didattica, anche nelle sue fasi principali, offre molteplici possibilità di applicazione dei proverbi in tutti gli ambiti dell’insegnamento di base: lessicale, grammaticale, morfosintattico e fonologico. Contemporaneamente apre orizzonti di valore civico culturale. La padronanza dei proverbi in una lingua straniera è un indicatore valido e rilevante della competenza interculturale che fa parte integrante della competenza comunicativa. I proverbi sono nello stesso tempo un incentivo per gli insegnanti a inoltrarsi in significati linguistici non sempre espliciti, difficili da interpretare e dominare a pieno.

We reinforce the conjecture by presenting explicit formulas and/or an algorithm for particular ADO invariants of torus knots obtained from the series invariant of complement of a knot. Furthermore, one parameter deformation of ADO3 polynomial of torus knots is provided.
Improving the management of Japanese knotweed s.l.: a response to Jones and colleagues
Authors: Martin François-Marie , Dommanget Fanny , Evette André
Published: December 2020

In a recent paper, Jones et al. (2020a) claimed that we recommended the use of mowing for the “landscape management of invasive knotweeds” in an article we published earlier this year (i.e. Martin et al. 2020), a recommendation with which they strongly disagreed. Since we never made such a recommendation and since we think that, in order to successfully control invasions by Japanese knotweeds.l.taxa (Reynoutriaspp.; syn.Fallopiaspp.), stakeholders need to acknowledge the general complexity of the management of invasive clonal plants, we would like to (i) clarify the intentions of our initial article and (ii) respectfully discuss some of the statements made by Daniel Jones and his colleagues regarding mowing and knotweed management in general. Although we agree with Jones et al. that some ill-advised management decisions can lead to “cures worse than the disease”, our concern is that the seemingly one-sided argumentation used by these authors may mislead managers into thinking that a unique control option is sufficient to tackle knotweed invasions in every situation or at any given spatial scale, when it is generally admitted that management decisions should account for context-dependency (Wittenberg and Cock 2001; Pyšek and Richardson 2010; Kettenring and Adams 2011).

The Effect of Dwell Time on Swipe-based Pie-Menu Navigation Efficiency
Authors: Salkanovic Alen , Stojkovic Matija , Ljubic Sandi
Published: December 2020

In this paper we present and analyze pie-menu implementation for touchscreen mobile devices which supports swipe-based navigation through deep hierarchical menu configurations. We propose a solution that synergistically encompasses important design features for a given context: radial menu visualization, semi-transparency, manual repositioning, occlusion awareness, and marking menu concept. From the menu navigation efficiency standpoint, dwell time represents one of the most influential factors in such a design. Reducing the time needed to automatically activate submenus could potentially provide faster navigation through the pie-menu hierarchy; however, short dwell times could make swipe-based interaction more error-prone, as unintentional item selections are then more probable. Therefore, we specifically investigate the effect of dwell time on navigation efficiency when using the proposed solution. A remotely administered experiment involving 36 participants was carried out in order to empirically evaluate different dwell time values. The interaction style, i.e. the way of holding a smartphone device, was also taken into account as an independent variable. We present the results of this empirical research, additionally tackling the interaction workload, usability attributes, and overall design considerations of the proposed solution. According to the obtained results, we argue that highly adaptable pie-menus could provide interaction benefits in the mobile touchscreen domain.
Étudier la nature en géographes : de la diversité des approches contemporaines françaises.
Authors: Fourault-Cauët Véronique , Bélizal Édouard de , Blanchon David
Published: December 2020

Cet article synthétique présente une réflexion sur les approches géographiques de la nature en France, en s’intéressant tant à l’évolution des enseignements universitaires qu’à celle de la recherche. Il conteste l’idée parfois répandue d’une filiation entre géographie de l’environnement et géographie physique, ces deux approches abordant la nature suivant des paradigmes différents ; si certains questionnements actuels sont partagés, étudier la nature en géographie physique et en géographie de l’environnement n’est pas équivalent.

As artes de fazer cotidianas de trabalhadoras domésticas inseridas em micro dimensões organizativas da vida social
Authors: Teixeira Juliana Cristina , Rodrigues Silva Caroline
Published: December 2020

O objetivo principal deste artigo é o de conhecer os relatos das práticas (estratégias e táticas) cotidianas de trabalhadoras domésticas que representem suas artes de fazer. A expressão artes de fazer está presente em Certeau (1998), autor que nos traz, teoricamente, a possibilidade de apresentar um artigo que é dedicado a mulheres ordinárias. A pesquisa é qualitativa e envolveu, como corpus, a produção de discursos obtidos por meio de entrevistas com trabalhadoras domésticas que foram em partes abertas, e em partes semiestruturadas, buscando a apreensão de suas artes. A abordagem teórico-metodológica utilizada se refere à ACD (Análise Crítica do Discurso). Este artigo permitiu a abordagem de variados saberes cotidianos e ordinários que circulam entre as práticas das trabalhadoras domésticas dentro do que foi chamado de um saber maior: o saber gerir e participar da gestão de uma vida social organizada. Introduzindo a perspectiva da vida social organizada das trabalhadoras domésticas, referenciamos o estudo da vida social organizada, identificando as sujeitas estudadas como autoras de micropráticas que contribuem de forma direta para políticas organizativas importantes, por vezes ignoradas, na sociedade e nos estudos mainstream.Palavras-chave: Cotidiano. Trabalhadoras domésticas. Vida organizada.

Assessment Process-Reflection on Pedagogical Practices and Integration of Technologies in Education
Authors: Hrich Najoua , Lazaar Mohamed , Khaldi Mohamed
Published: December 2020

Although research shows that the integration of information and communication technologies (ICT) into education (ICTE) can help to renew teachers' teaching practices, they do not necessarily do so automatically and spontaneously. The process of development and implementation of ICT in education should include a fundamental reflection on pedagogical approaches in order to understand their place in teaching and learning practice. The ICT should be used for the service of the pedagogy. In this optic, the idea developed in this chapter is to present the micro-macro assessment (MMA) approach based on a reflection on the main pedagogical approaches which influenced pedagogical practices at the end of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century objectives-based approach and competencies-based approach. The MMA approach for assessment is adopted in a diagnosis e-learning system and experimented with learners of middle school education. The experience has given positive and promising results in the improvement of teaching and learning practices.

Making Middle Schools Destinations of Choice for Young Adolescents
Authors: Pettit Stacie , Rychly Laura , Ziegler Milisa , Walker Katie
Published: December 2020

In this chapter, middle schools are presented metaphorically as layover airports, and the need to see middle schools as more like destinations is explored. How can positive learning experiences in middle schools be created given the short time frame and the transitional nature inherent in even the most effective middle schools? The metaphor of a layover airport that students often enter middle school expecting is juxtaposed to illustrating the characteristics of and potential for middle schools in the United States as destinations. This is done using exemplar experiences and middle schools from vastly different locations with varying characteristics and needs, yet all providing positive experiences for young adolescents. This comparison will be made based on what is known about the developmental nature and needs of young adolescents served in middle schools and also on recommendations for effective middle schools made by the Association for Middle Level Education.

In this way, and based upon the author's own experiences, the learning and teaching strategies described here have impact beyond the adult learning classroom by influencing how multiple type of organizations in the field of business, K12 and higher education, public service, and non-profits learn, collaborate, and achieve results.
Building Communities of Practice Through Faculty Mentorship Programs
Authors: Lari Pooneh , Barton Denise H.
Published: December 2020

Building an effective mentoring program for community college faculty is a complex and multifaceted task. There are multiple layers of stakeholders and levels of involvement, which at times makes navigating the mentoring relationships challenging and complicates the decision of what types of information to provide to the faculty as part of their mentorship. A strategy for developing a successful mentoring program is creating a community of practice among faulty members to provide support, create dialogue, exchange best practices, and hopefully, create a process of collective learning in a community of practice, where faculty are open to receiving guidance and willing to engage in the process as part of the mentoring program with minimal resistance to learning. This article describes the practices and processes of a newly-formed faculty mentoring program at Wake Technical Community College and the aims to add to the body of literature of community college faculty mentoring, vocational training, learning resistance, and faculty development.
Collaborative Approaches for Communities of Practice Activities Enrichment
Authors: Fields Ziska , Atiku Sulaiman Olusegun
Published: December 2020

This chapter explores the role of communities of practice (CoPs) in knowledge management (KM) and how various collaborative practices can be used to enrich the activities of CoPs in organisations. The objectives of the chapter are firstly to define and explain the role of CoPs as a form of social and team networks in KM, secondly to identify the role and importance of collaborative approaches, specifically focusing on collective learning, creativity, innovation and problem-solving in CoPs and how these impact on the KM process, and thirdly to make recommendations to enhance the collaborative approaches to ultimately enrich the activities of CoPs in a digital age in organisations. Recommendations are made that management needs to support the forming and activities of CoPs in KM strategies, and that a suitable organisational structure and culture are needed to stimulate and support collaborative approaches to enrich the activities of CoPs.
Enhancing Learner-Driven Informal Learning in a Virtual Practice Community
Authors: Chae Chungil , Suh Boyung , Han Seung-hyun , Han Heeyoung , Lim Doo Hun
Published: December 2020

Professional development is an individual's lifelong learning process. Accessing knowledge in an unfamiliar domain (however necessary for professional development) can be limited within traditional higher education and training settings because addressing immediate needs is expensive and time consuming. Active learners often seek new channels of information in order to fulfill learning needs. One example is the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC). Even though many research studies have emphasized the importance of understanding how technology and digital content lead to changes in the learning context, particularly with respect to informal learning and communities of practice (CoP), there is a notable gap about this issue in the professional development area. This book chapter aims to address this research void by exploring how emergent learning platforms are equipped with new technologies and digital content that may benefit modern learning environments in regards to professional development, such as informal learning in virtual CoPs.
Advancing a New General Education Curriculum Through a Faculty Community of Practice
Authors: Giering Judith A. , Hunger Gail M.
Published: December 2020

Many institutions of higher education are reimagining their general education curriculum or adding new, innovative programs to their course offerings. Faculty driving such innovation, while experts in their disciplines, often lack experience with instructional design and the benefits it subsequently brings to these types of programs. At the same time, process-driven, traditional approaches to instructional design may not feel relevant to some faculty. In this chapter, the authors describe the Learning Design Collaborative, a new model for instructional design built on the principles of intentional learning, authentic learning, and student engagement. Placed within the context of a faculty learning community, this experience has been used with faculty developing courses for the first-year signature experience of a new general education curriculum. Implications of this initiative suggest the importance of continually evaluating instructional design models, opportunities for implementing the model in other programs, and a relationship with other emerging instructional design models.
I Do and I Understand
Authors: Mitchell Claire
Published: December 2020

As a result of globalization, World Language Education has experienced considerable changes within recent decades. With these changes, there is a need for new approaches to teaching and learning a world language, as there is a growing mismatch between language use in the real world and the approach to teaching a world language in the classroom. This chapter, then, presents a pedagogical model that was implemented in an Introduction to Second Language Acquisition course in order to adequately prepare teacher candidates for their future careers as educators in a globalized society. In particular, the model in this chapter discusses authentic experiences grounded in inquiry-based learning that provide opportunities for teacher candidates to collaboratively research current trends in the field of World Language Education and put them into practice through undergraduate research projects.
Reforming Pre-Service English Language Teacher Training Using Professional Community of Learning
Authors: Ofemile Abdulmalik Yusuf
Published: December 2020

In the English language teaching context in Nigeria, teacher training-institutions often use theoretical and outdated curriculum with little emphasis on the acquisition of communicative language teaching (CLT) skills or content mastery. This does not adequately prepare teachers for work in basic and secondary schools. This chapter focuses on the potential of using professional community of learning to train pre-service teachers of English in CLT approaches. Two groups of teachers with similar pre-service training were evaluated during teaching practice, with one group being exposed to CLT approaches. Results suggest that pre-service teachers that were exposed to CLT approaches performed better in class than those who were not. Following these results, the potential for replication and integration into the national teacher-training curriculum in Nigeria is explored.

Authors: James Cynthia C. , Lee Kean Wah
Published: December 2020

This chapter is a review of a three-year journey into exploring the development, mobilisation, and enactment of Malaysian ESL teachers' technological pedagogical content knowledge through a professional learning community known as ‘Going Digital'. The first part of the chapter summarises the investigation on the effectiveness of the TPACK-IDDIRR + PLC as a transformative model of professional development to engender technology integration practices in the classroom. The findings reveal that the model is effective in enhancing technology integration practices of ESL teachers. In the second part, individual experiences of four members of the ‘Going Digital' are narratively explored to understand the mobilisation and enactment of TPACK from professional development to practice in the classroom. The affordances and constraints of technology integration is explored in the third part. The chapter concludes with discussions on the interconnectedness of knowledge, context, and identity; and how it has led to the proposition of the model for TPACK mobilisation, appropriation, and enactment.

Data Science Process for Smart Cities
Authors: Estrada Elsa , Martínez Vargas Martha Patricia
Published: December 2020

Smart cities have been proposed as information technology strategies to generate solutions for the benefit of large cities to improve their quality of life, through phenomena identification tools that use artificial intelligence. Some work has been aimed at developing the infrastructure for monitoring events and the Internet of things, others merely on data analytics without an application system context. This work cites various investigations on data science processes of the smart cities and reports some of its works whose main topics are planning for the start of a smart city, the framework for the analysis of smart cities, and smart cities big data algorithms for sensors location. In these cases, the experiences in these cases are described as well as the trend towards a new process with the form of monitoring-analysis-evaluation-found pattern-driving object-decision-making and the future of smart cities is finally discussed.

Vita, solidarietà, speranza: valori di riferimento dei consultori familiari d’ispirazione cristiana
Authors: Cozzoli Mauro
Published: December 2020

I valori principali a cui i consultori familiari di ispirazione cristiana fanno riferimento sono la vita, la solidarietà e la speranza. Il punto di partenza è costituito dall’amore per la vita, “da cui e per cui la famiglia è”. E’ questo amore a suscitare la sollecitudine, sia nella forma del volontariato, sia nella forma della prestazione retribuita dei suoi operatori. Il valore e la dignità della vita umana scaturiscono dal suo essere un fine e non un mezzo, dal suo essere creazione “a immagine e somiglianza di Dio”, dal suo essere verità da scoprire e da tutelare. La verità della vita porta verso l’amore per la vita, un amore che si collega direttamente alla verità che la vita in sé esprime. La solidarietà, nel bisogno e nel disagio, sia materiale, sia economico, dell’operatore del consultorio familiare passa attraverso la via privilegiata della famiglia ed è formativa, veritativa e alimentata dalla speranza in Dio che è speranza per la vita. Solo in Dio la famiglia e la vita trovano inveramento e compimento. A questo proposito l’Autore cita il profeta Isaia: “Quanti sperano nel Signore riacquistano forza, mettono ali come aquile, corrono senza affannarsi, camminano senza stancarsi” (Is 40,31).

Biogas recovery from fresh landfill leachates by using a coupled air stripping-up follow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) process
Authors: MOUJANNI Abd-essamad , QARRAEY Imane , OUATMANE Aaziz
Published: December 2020

The present study focuses on fresh leachates treatment using anaerobic digestion. To overcome the unsuitable raw characteristics, appropriate pretreatment conditions were identified based on Batch tests. A subsequently optimized pretreatment-anaerobic two stages UASB coupled treatment was studied. The performance of the overall coupled treatment was assessed by monitoring volatile fatty acids (VFA), COD and ammonium removal, and biogas performance. Results showed that combining acidity correction to short aeration gives a synergetic effect and allowed appropriate anaerobic start-up conditions. Under continuous aerobic pretreatment-UASB digestion, significant removal of NH+4 (75.87%), COD (19.14%), and VFA (20.3%) were achieved during the aeration step resulting in the total abatement of 88.66%, 83.6% and 70.39% for NH+4, COD, and VFA, respectively. The process allowed good biogas performance up to 2,470 mL biogas/L and 123 mL CH4/gCOD removed, with gradual improvement from the first to the second UASB reactor. Inlet COD and VFA feeding rate seemed to be the main key parameters with 45.37 g COD/L.d and 18.43 g VFA/L.d as a critical threshold. Therefore, the anaerobic digestion of high COD leachates is highly feasible and the aerobic–anaerobic coupled treatment is a promising technical scenario that deserves further studies.

Cinema e literatura
Authors: Gomes Marques Márcia , Brum Weis Alves Gedy
Published: December 2020

Neste artigo se discute a adaptação de histórias que migram do campo literário para o cinematográfico. Aborda-se o nexo entre as obras na perspectiva da intertextualidade e da hipertextualidade, em que os textos se relacionam em um processo de derivação. O foco é posto na transposição intermidiática de Memórias Póstumas de Brás Cubas (1881) para o filme Memórias Póstumas (2001). São analisados os aproveitamentos e as adequações feitas na transposição do romance para o filme, e destacados os elementos que se mantêm, os que se renovam e os que não se concretizam na obra adaptada. Verificou-se, nesse caso, a transposição de fábula, de personagens e situações, e a influência dos formatos industriais na composição do enredo, que se manifesta no maior destaque à vida amorosa de Brás e na concatenação das relações de causa e feito entre as partes do relato.

Ao observar os processos de convergência, o artigo tem como objetivo discutir as relações entre livro-aplicativo e jogo em um contexto da experiência do leitor-jogador. Diante das produções que se propõem associar recursos literários e gamificação, é possível observar tensões inscritas na materialidade que promovem experiências que, longe de alcançarem o encantamento, se fixam no deslumbramento midiático. A partir de Chartier (2011), Dewey (2010), Rocha (2004) e Eco (1984, 1996) e do objeto empírico The Silent History, apontam-se dissonâncias entre o que é dado a ver nas interfaces gráficas e o que é programado enquanto experiência. Infere-se que, embora o objeto já não resguarde semelhança qualitativa em relação ao seu referente impresso, ainda se apresenta ancorado na cultura massiva, seja pela serialidade e participação mediada, sinalizando para o fato de que a convergência tem asseverado conflitos que vão reverberar no pacto de leitura e na experiência do ler em si.

Resumo: Introdução: A prática regular de atividade física é fundamental para idosos. A diminuição da força e da potência do músculo pode influenciar na diminuição de autonomia, bem-estar e da qualidade de vida dos mesmos. A perda da força e da massa muscular predispõe os idosos a uma limitação funcional, fator predisponente para muitos processos patológicos associados ao aumento da morbidade e mortalidade. Objetivo: Analisar a força muscular em idosos praticantes e não praticantes de atividades físicas sistematizadas. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva, quantitativa e de corte transversal. Este estudo foi realizado na cidade de Montes Claros – MG, com população idosa na faixa etária de 65 a 75 anos de idade. Os indivíduos foram divididos em dois grupos, sendo inclusos no G1 idosas praticantes de atividades físicas regulares, e no G2 idosas não praticantes de atividades físicas. Todos os dados foram coletados a partir da investigação das variáveis, digitalizados e analisados no programa estatístico (SPSS®, 20.0). O presente estudo obteve aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa das Faculdades Integradas do Norte de Minas. Nesta pesquisa, foram realizados testes de força muscular de preensão manual, e a comparação realizada a partir da média relativa, média absoluta, máxima relativa e máxima absoluta para ambas as mãos (direita e esquerda). Resultados: Idosas ativas tinham maior força de pressão manual, significativa quando comparadas com as idosas sedentárias. Conclusão: Verificou-se que o exercício físico regular pode ter contribuído para manutenção ou aumento da força muscular no grupo de idosas ativas.

Visibilizando a las líderes
Authors: Gañán Sánchez Elena
Published: December 2020

En estas páginas la persona lectora encontrará el desarrollo de un estudio exploratorio que indaga la percepción de mujeres sobre su liderazgo en el sector empresarial, el institucional y el político. A través de entrevistas focalizadas, se examina el discurso de seis líderes con un alto grado de reconocimiento social para buscar divergencias y puntos en común atendiendo a factores como el tipo de organización que lideran, la edad, o la orientación ideológica y feminista. Interesa saber si la edad, la ideología o el feminismo están relacionadas con su forma de pensar o de ejercer el liderazgo. Esto servirá para proporcionar un espacio de visibilización a las mujeres que, aún hoy, tienen mayores dificultades que los hombres para acceder a puestos de poder, también se incide en algún porqué de este fenómeno. El trabajo servirá como soporte para futuros estudios que profundicen en esta línea de investigación.
La locura de las mujeres
Authors: Bega Martinez Renata
Published: December 2020

La locura como padecimiento ligado a la vida de las mujeres parece manifestarse en primera instancia como una continuidad histórica y cultural, un estadio que todas han atravesado ya sea por un instante o durante toda su existencia.Analizar el entramado de la locura, las violencias, los estigmas y cómo ellos se presentan transversalmente en las mujeres de manera sistemática e histórica deviene una tarea imprescindible aunque inabarcable en este artículo; lo que aquí se aborda y se cuestiona de manera específica es la noción y categoría que entraña ser loca hoy en día dentro de las sociedades occidentales en las que la(s) violencia(s), como factor constante más allá de sus diversas expresiones, cumple(n) un rol fundamental.
Agression sexuelle et réification de la femme dans quelques romans féministes camerounais
Authors: Eyenga Onana Pierre Suzanne
Published: December 2020

Le roman féministe camerounais est un roman de combat. Il agit comme une forme de plaidoyer que formule l’écrivain en vue de la postulation des rapports sociaux de sexe plus dignes. Dans ce roman, le démiurge lutte pour l’avènement d’un ordre social plus juste au cœur duquel tous les genres se valent et tous les sexes se doivent un respect mutuel. Ce roman travaille dans plusieurs sens: redorer le blason de la femme en matière de droits et lui permettre de disposer de son propre corps comme une personne humaine respectée. Cet objectif de réappropriation du corps féminin bute cependant contre une certaine vision phallocratique des rapports de genre visant à maintenir la femme dans le giron sexiste. Dès lors, comme mode de déclinaison de la violence sexuelle, l’agression sexuelle ne participe-t-elle pas des stratégies dont la finalité n’est que la réification de la femme ? En nous inspirant de l’appareillage conceptuel sociocritique formalisé par Pierre Barbéris ainsi que l’approche genre, nous répondons à cette question de recherche. Le travail est organisé en trois parties. Dans la première, nous scrutons les formes de violence dont la femme fait les frais dans le texte féministe examiné. La deuxième partie porte sur la stylisation des violences sexuelles. Elle questionne les formes linguistiques à l’œuvre dans le texte littéraire, puisque l’œuvre littéraire se veut avant tout une œuvre d’art : par-delà la reproduction des faits observés, elle est production de langage. La dernière partie se préoccupe du message des romanciers ou encore leur vision du monde sur la question de l’agression sexuelle. Il s’agit dans cette partie de montrer que le viol constitue une grave enfreinte des droits de la femme, un obstacle majeur à son autonomisation et à l’affirmation de son identité.
Dimensiones y figuras inscritas en el abuso sexual infantil
Authors: Díaz Bonilla Paola Andrea
Published: December 2020

El propósito del presente artículo busca poner en dialogo una serie de reflexiones en torno a tres figuras inscritas en la ocurrencia del abuso sexual infantil: las victimas, el abusador y el testigo. Estas reflexiones alcanzadas surgen de los hallazgos resultantes de la investigación cualitativa sobre este delito sexual, los cuales fueron logrados a partir de la realización de tres grupos de discusión en los municipios de Aquitania y Chitaraque del departamento de Boyacá, Colombia contando con la participación de diferentes actores institucionales y comunitarios pertenecientes a esta región del país. Los resultados obtenidos son analizados a la luz del modelo ecológico feminista integrado buscando identificar las relaciones e interacciones que se construyen entre cada uno de estos actores teniendo en perspectiva las dimensiones personales, del microsistema, exosistema y macrosistema que el modelo propone. Frente a los hallazgos se destaca la mediación que efectúan la culpabilización de las víctimas y la invisibilidad de abusadores y testigos, como factores que coadyudan en el mantenimiento del abuso sexual infantil que sufren las niñas en los entornos rurales de estos municipios focalizados por la investigación, y que pueden extenderse a otros escenarios del departamento. Por último, las reflexiones alcanzadas se orientan a considerar los mecanimos por medio de los cuales el legado patriarcal y adultocéntrico se instituyen como dinamizadores de las prácticas e imaginarios socioculturales que legitiman y naturalizan el abuso sexual infantil como parte del continuum de las violencias que sufren las niñas.
Acosadores, violadores y maltratadores
Authors: Suárez Lafuente M.S.
Published: December 2020

Este artículo pretende dar respuestas, a través de ejemplos literarios, a la pregunta clave de por qué los poderes fácticos y la opinión pública reaccionan de manera tan tibia al acoso y maltrato ejercido por demasiados hombres sobre las mujeres. La razón básica es que la dependencia femenina sigue vigente en el imaginario colectivo universal y el discurso dominante se resiste a revisarla por miedo a los cambios sociales y económicos que tal revolución supondría. Es más útil contar los femicidios por miles que admitir razones lógicas incontrovertibles – ya Goya lo dejó inscrito artísticamente: “El sueño de la razón produce monstruos”. A estos monstruos, que nos rodean con apariencia ‘normal’, hemos de darles la denominación que se merecen y juzgarles por la Ley Antiterrorista. La literatura, de todas las nacionalidades y de todas las lenguas, deja amplia constancia de tales abusos a través del tiempo y del espacio. Aquí se analizan varios ejemplos en obras de Ruth Rendell, Louise Doughty, Judith Hermann, Nawal al-Saadawi, Roddy Doyle, Mohsin Hamid, Suniti Namjoshi y Margaret Drabble.
Pedagogía Menstrual como Herramienta para el Empoderamiento Femenino
Authors: López García Marina , Pena Lima Xiana
Published: December 2020

La aplicación de perspectivas feministas y de género a la investigación y concepción social del ciclo menstrual continúa siendo una tarea pendiente en nuestra sociedad. En el imaginario social colectivo, la menstruación se presenta-todavía- como un elemento mitificado y estereotipado, debido a la carencia de recursos educativos, sociales, sanitarios y políticos destinados al tratamiento del mismo. Esto se traduce en la perpetuación del tabú que engloba a la experiencia de la menstruación y en el desconocimiento generalizado de la población acerca de sus principales características, fases, síntomas y signos, patologías asociadas, etc.  

Con la presente propuesta de intervención se pretende resaltar la importancia del autoconocimiento, el autocuidado y la capacidad para entender las señales de nuestros cuerpos como recursos personales de empoderamiento individual y colectivo, a través de la toma de conciencia y creación de aprendizajes y experiencias comunes en relación con el ciclo menstrual.
