Authors: ARI Abdil , TAŞGIN Erdal
Published: December 2023

This study was conducted to reveal whether there is a relationship between the organizational social capital and organizational identification perceptions of academics in institutions providing sports education and their levels of organizational trust. In the analysis of the data,in order to reveal the relationship between the organizational social capital, organizational identification and organizational trust levels of academicians, the Pearson Moments Product Correlation Coefficient (r) technique was used. As a result of the research, it was found that the highest perceptions of the academicians in institutions providing sports education about social capital are bridging social capital, the lowest organizational social capital is followed by unifying social capital and linking social capital dimensions; In general, it was judged that academicians' perceptions of bridging, unifying and bonding social capital regarding their institutions are at a "moderate" level, that is, they are not satisfied with their communication in these dimensions of organizational social capital (linking, linking, bridging). It was determined that the highest perceptions of the academicians in sports education institutions regarding organizational identification are in the emotional organizational identification dimension, followed by the cognitive organizational identification dimension, in general, the emotional identification of the academicians about their institutions is high, and their cognitive identification is at the "medium" level. It has been determined that the highest perceptions of the academicians in institutions providing sports education about organizational trust are trust in the manager, followed by the trust in the organization dimension, and the dimensions of trust in the administrator and trust in the organization, in general, are at the "medium" level. It has been determined that there are medium and high-level positive relationships between the dimensions of the academicians in institutions providing sports education, organizational social capital, organizational identification and organizational trust in general.

Published: December 2023

Several matrices are associated with graphs in order to study their properties. In such a study, researchers are interested in the spectra of the matrix under consideration, therefore, the properties are called spectral properties, with reference to the matrix. One of the interesting and hard problems in the spectral study of graphs is to order the graphs based on some spectral graph invariant, like the spectral radius, the second smallest eigenvalue, the energy, etc. Due to hardness of this problem it has been considered in the literature for small classes of graphs. Here we continue this study and add some more classes of graphs which can be ordered on the basis of spectral graph invariants. In this article, we study spectral properties of trees of diameter three, called double stars, and their complements through their reciprocal distance Laplacian eigenvalues. We give ordering of these graphs based on their reciprocal distance Laplacian spectral radius, on their second smallest reciprocal distance Laplacian eigenvalue, and on their reciprocal distance Laplacian energy.
Minimal generating sets in groups of $p$-automata
Authors: Lavrenyuk Y.V. , Oliynyk A.S.
Published: December 2023

For an arbitrary odd prime $p$, we consider groups of all $p$-automata and all finite $p$-automata. We construct minimal generating sets in both the groups of all $p$-automata and its subgroup of finite $p$-automata. The key ingredient of the proof is the lifting technique, which allows the construction of a minimal generating set in a group provided a minimal generating set in its abelian quotient is given. To find the required quotient, the elements of the groups of $p$-automata and finite $p$-automata are presented in terms of tableaux introduced by L. Kaloujnine. Using this presentation, a natural homomorphism on the additive group of all infinite sequences over the field $\mathbb{Z}_p$ is defined and examined.

Published: December 2023

A comparison has been made between theoretical results and the experimental data for different nuclei (even-even) that possess the same mass number A = 44 and which have close values of the experimental deformation parameter such as 16S44, 18Ar44, 20Ca44 and 22Ti44. The core-polarization effects and model space were adopted through the inclusion of effective charges. Transition probability B(E2), theoretical deformation parameters, and theoretical intrinsic quadruple moments were calculated using two different interactions for each case, the first case the hasp interaction for nuclei in the sd shell, and the fpd6 interaction for nuclei in the fp shell, the second case the vpnp interaction for nuclei in the sd shell, and the kb3 interaction for nuclei in the fp shell, as well as adopted to different effective charges, such as Bohr and Mottelson effective charges, standard effective charges, and the effective charges from program NuShellX. The theoretical results of the transition probability B(E2), deformations parameters, and intrinsic quadruple moments were compared and found to be close to the experimental values for these nuclei.

The article presents the results of investigations of the decay coefficients of dense plasma in impulse discharges in water initiated by an electric explosion of an iron conductor. An analysis of time-resolved and spatial emission spectra of the discharges was performed, along with the study of absorption spectra dynamics with a 5 μs interval. The electron concentration of the dense plasma was determined at different time points, allowing the determination of its decay coefficients at electron concentrations ranging from 1020 to 1021 cm-3. It was found that under equal electron concentrations in the plasma, the decay coefficients of plasma with iron impurities are consistent with the decay coefficients of plasma with tungsten impurities.

A computer model of the system for generating neutron fluxes at the output of a linear electron accelerator has been developed in the Geant4 and PhysList QGSP BIC HP programming environment. With the help of the model, a number of virtual experiments on 107 primary neutrons were carried out. The dependence of the ratio of the number of neutrons, incident on the detector with a reflector to the number of neutrons without a reflector on the radius of curvature of the hemispherical dome of the reflector is determined, which makes it possible to establish the optimal dimensions of the working area. The energy spectra of neutrons incident on the detector are determined. It has been established that when using a graphite reflector 30 × 30 × 30 cm in size with a radius of curvature of the hemispherical dome of 5 cm, the number of neutrons at the location of the detector increases by 16.9 %, and the neutron background in the accelerator bunker decreases by 2.5 times, which is in good agreement with the real experiment made. Such a decrease in the radiation background, according to sanitary standards, will make it possible to increase the accelerator current by 2.5 times and increase the neutron flux.

Authors: Ilieva Yordanka
Published: December 2023

The article presents the results of a study of the "Measurement" core module, in which basic mathematical competences acquired by adolescents in the course of pedagogical interaction, requiring the application of innovative methods and approaches, are laid down. Productive educational technologies, which foster development, were applied. The applications of traditional and innovative methods, means and approaches in the course of pedagogical interaction in the educational of field of Mathematics, "Measurement" core module, are sought. The goal is achieved with a survey, based on answers to standardized questions and through face-to-face conversations with the respondents. The results show that, in practice, kindergartens do not encourage the experiment-based search for knowledge about quantities. There is a lack of knowledge surrounding the use of autodidactic games, wherein they are related to quantities and measurements, as well as episodical use of innovative methods and technologies. There is substantial proof that there is a need to increase teachers’ professional competences, as far as the application of innovative methods and approaches within the study core “Measurement”. Prospects for improving the qualifications of teachers on the subject are outlined.

Authors: Tomova Slavka , Panayotova Margarita
Published: December 2023

The article analyzes data from a survey conducted with 34 medical professionals in the field of sexual and reproductive health regarding their opinion and observation of the level of competence in this area in adolescent patients who sought medical care. The results are summarized in seven tables and three diagrams. The analysis of the results indicates that the most significant, from a medical point of view, are the personal deficits related to the lack of adequate information among patients regarding: the role of contraception and protective means for preventing unwanted pregnancy and avoiding sexually transmitted diseases; the provoking of risky behavior by the use of psychoactive substances; underestimating the role of prevention for the individual's general and sexual health, etc. The low level of knowledge, skills and competencies of adolescent patients in this aspect necessitates the search for more effective approaches, methods and means to involve adolescents in understanding and evaluating the importance of this issue for their health and for ensuring a satisfying sexual and reproductive future.

Authors: Bronikowska Małgorzata , Mouratidou Katerina , Khorkova Maryna , Bronikowski Michał
Published: December 2023

Background and Study Aim. Stimulation of moral development is one of the most important tasks of modern education. Findings of recent studies indicate its importance for sound development of a young person. Research Objective: Examine the impact of moral dilemma discussions, the level of competitiveness, and years of sports training (experience) on athletes' morality.
Material and Methods. The research study was conducted by the diagnostic survey method and was based on a quasi-experimental design with experimental and control (CG) groups. A sample of 352 university students in sport and physical education-related faculties participated in the study. They were assessed using Lind’s Moral Judgement Test (MJT) and the Moral Judgement Test in Physical Education (MJT-PE).
Results. There were no interaction effects between years of sport practice and levels of general moral competence in an overall group. However, in terms of the sport-specific domain of moral competence, there was a tendency towards statistical significance of an interaction effect (p=0.07) on the levels of moral competence. This was in addition to the main effect (p=0.001) that differentiated the experimental and control groups. The findings indicated that the experimental group scored significantly higher (p=0.0008) on MJT-PE C-index than their control group peers. This disparity can be attributed to the amateur sports students in the experimental group, who exhibited significantly higher levels of moral competence compared to their amateur counterparts in the control group (p=0.0022).
Conclusions. This study underscores the positive impact of dilemma discussions on athletes' moral competence within the realm of physical education and sports. The findings strongly suggest that implementing structured dilemma discussions can significantly benefit amateur athletes. This emphasizes the critical importance of incorporating ethical deliberations into athletic training programs, especially for Physical Education and Sports educators.

Published: December 2023

Background and Study Aim. Understanding the relationship between repeated isoinertial lunges and jump and sprint parameters is an important factor in achieving success in sports requiring explosive strength and speed. The aim of this study was to examine the acute effects of repeated isoinertial lunges on jump and sprint parameters.
Material and Methods. Volunteered 42 students from Sports Sciences Faculty were participated to the study. They were randomly divided into experimental group (EG) (n=22, age=22.8±1.1year, height=180.6±7.1cm, body weight=77.5±8.8kg) and control group (CG) (n=20, age=23.0±2.1year, height=173.1±5.6 cm, body weight=71.3±8.4 kg). As pre- and post-tests, each participant performed squat jump (SJ), countermovement jump (CMJ), and 30m sprint on a non-motorized treadmill. Isoinertial lunges were included in 8 reps with dominant leg (DL), 1 min rest, and 8 reps with non-dominant leg (NDL). As a statistical analysis, pre- and post-test differences were analyzed with independent t test between groups and paired t test within groups. The level of significance was taken as p≤0.05.
Results. There were pre-test and also post-test differences between groups in SJ (p<0.05) but there were no differences within groups. Both groups had significant pre- and post-test time, velocity, and power differences [for EG: p<0.01, p<0.001, p<0.01; for CG: p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.01, respectively]. EG had significant pre- and post-test differences in stride frequency (SF) (p<0.01). There was a post-test SF difference between two groups (p<0.05). There were no statistically significant pre-test differences between the groups in 30m sprint parameters of NDL and DL. There were only significant post-test differences between the groups in SFDL (p<0.005) and NDL horizontal force (HFNDL) (p<0.01). EG had only significant pre- and post-test differences in SFDL and PNDL (p<0.005 and p<0.05).
Conclusions. Detailed studies in SF and SFDL increases result by repeated isoinertial lunges should be beneficial focus on DL neuromuscular activation. Furthermore, incorporating repeated isoinertial lunges into training regimens could be a valuable strategy for enhancing specific aspects of athletic performance in sports that demand high levels of speed and explosive power.

Introduction and aim. Since the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, many Ukrainian military personnel began to show post-traumatic stress (PTS). The purpose of the article is to identify the features of PTS exhibited in different age groups in trauma-exposed military personnel during their participation in the psychological recovery program (“Invincibility Program”). Material and methods. Ukrainian Defense Forces military personnel (n=546 males, between 20 and 60 years of age) participated in this study. All participants were divided into three age groups. Determination of the features of PTS in military personnel was carried out using psychodiagnostic tests. Results. In each age group, more than half of the participants in the “Invincibility Program” had PTS characteristics such as the sub-threshold or clinical manifestations of PTSD, adjustment disorders, low resilience to combat mental trauma, and various sleep disorders combined with somatic complaints. The data showed higher features of PTS in the younger participants and they decreased in both the 2 older sets of participants. Conclusion. The age-related features of the manifestation of PTS in military personnel must be taken into account when developing psychological recovery programs: for younger participants, such events should be carried out longer and more intensively.

Introduction and aim. Fahr’s disease is a rare neurological disorder characterized by bilateral basal ganglia calcifications. The aim of this report is to highlight a case of Fahr’s disease with atypical features such as neck rigidity and peripheral nerve involvement. Description of the case. Here, we present the case of a South Asian patient with secondary Fahr’s disease whose clinical presentation mimicked that of meningoencephalitis. The patient had neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms along with abnormal body movements. She also had restricted neck mobility. Computed tomography of the head revealed bilateral dense calcifications in the basal ganglia suggestive of Fahr’s syndrome. Investigations revealed severe hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and low parathyroid hormone levels, which led to the identification of hypoparathyroidism as the underlying cause. The presence of pre-existing epilepsy and neck rigidity made the diagnosis difficult. The relatively rapid development of symptoms along with the presence of peripheral nerve involvement made this case even more unique. Calcium levels were corrected, and there was a marked symptomatic improvement. Conclusion. Neck rigidity and restricted neck mobility may be present in cases of Fahr’s syndrome due to calcifications of the nuchal ligament or other spinal ligaments and thus must be differentiated from meningoencephalitis. Although the symptoms of Fahr’s syndrome are generally limited to the central nervous system, there may be involvement of the peripheral nerves as well.

A região do Seridó, situada no Nordeste brasileiro, nos estados da Paraíba e do Rio Grande do Norte, é conhecida por suas vastas reservas de caulim oriundas de pegmatitos. Pequenas empresas fazem o processo de extração e beneficiamento do minério. No entanto, essas operações são precárias. A falta de planejamento na lavra e no processo de beneficiamento faz com que os pequenos produtores de caulim tenham apenas um aproveitamento de 25%, e diversos acidentes causados na etapa de extração. O projeto Entidades Associadas do Centro de Tecnologia Mineral – CETEM/MCTI, em parceria com a Universidade Federal de Campina Grande -  UFCG foi criado para desenvolver ações integradas de pesquisa, tecnologias e inovação para agregar valor à cadeia produtiva mineral na região do Seridó. Foi elaborado um plano de trabalho onde se fez o levantamento de informações da área. Foram coletados dados em campo e utilizados na elaboração de mapas e modelos geológicos para cálculo de cubagem, utilizando software computacional. Além disso, foi montada uma planta piloto de beneficiamento de caulim utilizando hidrociclone, visando o aumento de recuperação do mineral minério. Na etapa de planejamento de lavra foram elaborados dois cenários de lavra com características geométricas distintas. O primeiro cenário apresentou resultados melhores que o segundo. A tonelada de minério foi maior e a relação estéril minério menor. No processo de beneficiamento a recuperação de caulim apresentou bom resultado. O concentrado do processo apresentou altas porcentagens de caulinita. O projeto de lavra e beneficiamento mostrou a possibilidade de extrair e tratar um minério de forma mais segura e viável economicamente.

Neste artigo direcionamos nosso olhar para as Normas sobre Computação na Educação Básica. Sendo uma pesquisa qualitativa de análise documental, onde assumiremos a hermenêutica como um modo ontológico da compreensão, para assim, identificar o que subentende-se na normativa e quais as suas inferências para a formação de professores. Ao discutirmos para além da palavra e do sentido imediato dos verbos destacados nas competências e habilidades, evidenciamos que estes precisam ser vislumbrados para além da pedagogia das competências, pois indicam muito mais do que pode ser percebido. É preciso, por parte do professor, compreender a profundidade das ações requeridas pelas competências expostas na normativa.
REENCANTAMENTO DAS PRÁTICAS PEDAGÓGICAS
Authors: Cunha Yuri Rodrigues
Published: December 2023

Neste trabalho o nosso objetivo é demonstrar que o pensamento do filósofo Rudolf Steiner pode ser utilizado, por seus princípios metodológicos, como instrumentos potentes para o reencantamento da prática pedagógica e para a construção de um currículo utópico. Nosso argumento consiste em defender que o professor-estudante deve atuar em sua prática pedagógica, na relação educador-educando, levando em consideração pensar, sentir e querer dos educandos e de si, reencantando seu processo educativo, contribuindo para a construção de um currículo utópico. Concluiu-se que a experiencia vivida como educador proporciona fundamentos para enfrentar os dilemas causados por uma prática orientada pela modernidade racional-desencantada, que considera o ser humano apenas do ponto de vista racional-cognitivo.
(DE)COLONIZAÇÃO DO CURRÍCULO
Authors: Queiroz Beatriz Mendes , Conceição Deise Guilhermina da
Published: December 2023

Este artigo traz discussões sobre (de)colonialidade, racismo, narrativas do cotidiano e infâncias a partir da temática do currículo e da educação. O que se propõe é pensar sobre a relevância de nos considerarmos sujeitos de nossa própria história para que, em diálogo com as narrativas infantis apresentadas e com os debates decoloniais possamos pensar táticas e fazeres antirracistas, compreendendo os modos a partir dos quais a ordem colonial opera em nossas subjetividades. Assim, indicam-se possibilidades de se pensar uma produção de conhecimentos que aponte para uma ecologia de saberes (SANTOS, 2013) tecida nas microesferas da sala de aula. Tudo isso, inspira-se nas proposições, metodologias e questões apontadas no trabalho de conclusão de curso intitulado “(De)colonização das infâncias: por uma epistemologia cotidiana das crianças negras”, que conta metodologicamente com a narrativa autobiográfica, a pesquisa com os cotidianos e a metodologia de conversas, aspectos que permeiam a escrita do artigo. Seus resultados colaboram para a ressignificação das infâncias negras a partir de janelas interculturais encontradas no cotiando escolar e inspira reflexões pedagógicas acerca do papel da escola na promoção de práticas que contribuam para a produção de subjetividades resistentes e não silenciadas.
ESCRITA COMO MODO DE VIDA
Authors: Sales Tiago Amaral
Published: December 2023

De que maneiras a escrita pode ser potente contemporaneamente à educação e à pesquisa deste campo? É a partir desta inquietação que este texto tece reflexões acerca de possibilidades contemporâneas da escrita na tarefa de aprender, de ensinar e de pesquisar os acontecimentos que permeiam a educação. Para tal feitura, mobiliza-se cinco caminhos pós-críticos para a escrita: a cartografia, o ensaio, a autoficção, a escrita-oficina e a fabulação especulativa. Cada dimensão destas é apresentada brevemente e rizomaticamente de modo a compor com uma escrita que acontece com o corpo todo. Defende-se uma escrita que aconteça artesanalmente e poeticamente, junto da coragem de uma autoria, de engajar-se com respons-habilidade e de viver com o que se escreve.
MOVIMENTOS DE TRADUÇÃO DAS POLÍTICAS-PRÁTICAS CURRICULARES DOCENTES NO AGRESTE PERNAMBUCANO
Authors: Silva Maria Angélica da , Almeida Lucinalva Andrade Ataide de , Leite Carlinda
Published: December 2023

Considerando que é importante compreender movimentos de tradução das políticas curriculares mobilizados por professores, foi realizado um estudo que analisou práticas curriculares tradutórias de professoras dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental, em Caruaru, Pernambuco. O estudo recorreu à compreensão dos atos de tradução (DERRIDA, 2006) de sentidos de currículo presentes nas práticas curriculares docentes, vislumbrando que os discursos (LACLAU, 2000) das demandas das políticas atravessam as práticas curriculares docentes sem, no entanto, que estas se ocupem da restituição de sentidos desses mesmos discursos em suas práticas. Assim, o currículo e as práticas curriculares foram estudados em diálogo com a noção desconstrucionista da tradução em Derrida (2001, 2006, 2016) articulada à Teoria do Discurso em Laclau (1987, 2000) por ressaltarem a impossibilidade da transparência da constituição curricular e do controle e da fixação de sentidos de currículo, posto o seu caráter flutuante e contingencial demarcado pela indecidibilidade que habita em toda a decisão curricular. A análise realizada permitiu constatar que quanto mais as políticas curriculares intencionam prescrever o cotidiano, mais aumentam a demanda tradutória. Isso aponta para a compreensão de que a relação de fidelidade infiel com os textos políticos que fazem parte dos cotidianos das professoras possibilita a tessitura de espaços-tempos de decisões curriculares que desafiam as professoras a, no ato de tradução curricular, traduzirem a si mesmas e a todos os discursos que compõem as suas formações discursivas. Assim, a tradução não é uma perspectiva, um método ou um momento, mas, sim, uma atitude política frente ao acontecimento curricular.
POR ENTRE LINHAS E EXPERIMENTAÇÕES ESTÉTICAS COM COTIDIANOS ESCOLARES
Authors: Leite César
Published: December 2023

A proposta deste texto é fazer circular algumas experiências em torno dos cotidianos escolares. O texto está composto por situações (vividas e imagens) de presentes em escolas de Educação básica da Rede Pública, aliados a manifestações artísticas do dia-a-dia. Partiremos de uma perspectiva em que a forma do texto se apresenta como espaço compositivo do próprio conteúdo, sendo organizado em ‘heterotopias escolares’ (1 – cotidianos; 2 - experimentações–estéticas; 3 – resistências; 4 – produções de mundos), estas heterotopias estão organizadas a partir de expereimentações compostas por linhas e linhas de fuga que procuram agenciar linhas de força. O texto também se alia a perspectivas conceituais vinculadas à Filosofia da Diferença
DANÇANDO O CARIMBÓ NA ESCOLA
Authors: Pimenta Verônica Teodora , Dantas Julia Medeiros
Published: December 2023

Este artigo trata da Dança no currículo formal da Educação Básica, visando à construção de conhecimentos por meio de vivências com Danças Brasileiras, especificamente o carimbó. A metodologia envolveu o projeto interdisciplinar “Carimbó, cultura regional e desenvolvimento sustentável”, com estudantes do 4º Ano do Colégio de Aplicação da Universidade Federal de Roraima. Partimos do entendimento de Pedagogia de Projeto, com planejamentos de sequências didáticas simultâneas em Língua Portuguesa, Geografia, Dança, Música e Educação Física. Trazemos reflexões sobre a experiência interdisciplinar nos componentes Dança e Educação Física.  Foram essas as seguintes etapas de construção do conhecimento: pesquisas envolvendo a história do carimbó e suas características, vivências de roda de carimbó na sala de aula, rodas de conversa, além da experiência performativa, na culminância do projeto fora da sala de aula, com rodas de carimbó com música ao vivo e a presença de integrantes da comunidade escolar, incluindo familiares das crianças. Essa experiência implicou no reconhecimento do carimbó enquanto patrimônio cultural e fruto da resistência de comunidades populares do Pará. Devido à natureza performativa e festiva da roda, o carimbó também foi o ponto de partida para reflexões sobre modelos de inclusão do corpo no espaço escolar. O reconhecimento do carimbó enquanto patrimônio contou, especialmente, com a aproximação afetiva da dança, além da descoberta dessa manifestação como uma resistência afro-ameríndia. Para além de um tradicional Pedagogia de Dança, reconhecemos na memória do carimbó, nos seus elementos festivos e nas influências recebidas da cosmovisão indígena, caminhos para possíveis Pedagogias Decoloniais em Dança.
INVENÇÃO DA ESQUIZOANÁLISE POR GILLES DELEUZE E FÉLIX GUATTARI E ALGUMAS PROBLEMATIZAÇÕES PARA A EDUCAÇÃO
Authors: Simonini Eduardo , Romagnoli Roberta
Published: December 2023

Este texto se propõe a examinar a invenção da esquizoanálise, de Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari e algumas contribuições para a Educação. Para tal discute os conceitos de máquinas desejantes e de Corpo Sem órgãos, presentes no livro O Anti Édipo. O conceito de máquina é usado para evidenciar o maquínico e não se refere ao não humano, tecnológico, mas à produção, às engrenagens que sustentam a realidade. As máquinas desejantes se associam ao conceito de Corpo Sem Órgãos, corporeidade que não pertence a um sujeito, mas sim é atravessada por uma vitalidade intensiva e conectiva. Esse pensamento sustenta a complexidade e a processualidade da realidade se deslocando do domínio da representação para o domínio da experimentação. Altera ainda a forma de abordar a subjetividade, não em sua interioridade, mas a partir das relações que são estabelecidas e seus efeitos. Ao final do artigo, é desenvolvida uma discussão a respeito da Educação e de como a esquizoanálise pode ser uma maneira de pensar a invenção e a resistência em diferentes processos de aprendizagem.
