A Crisis to Think with: Mining the Biopolitics of COVID-19 in American Public Discourse
Authors: Kovalyova Natalia
Published: February 2023

The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic put to test medical, political and social systems around the globe. It also probed into our ability to work out coherent explanations of unprecedented situations and to devise effective solutions when operating with grossly insufficient, frequently changing, and often controversial information. Using a Foucauldian lens, this study examines the American public discourse on COVID-19 to reveal the mechanisms through which the crisis was made sense of and managed. It shows that unity in spirit and action in measures against the pandemic did not emerge nor was the virus uniformly affecting the population thus suggesting that “population” as an object of governing is a discursive construction thriving on its partitioning and fracturing the moment it is put together. It concludes that overall, despite the clout of unprecedentedness, COVID-19 produced neither new relations of power nor new subjectivities but further aligned government actions with the interests of the state.

Chaos Based Stego Color Image Encryption
Authors:   Assist. Prof. in Communications  Electronics Department at Delta Higher Institute, Mansoura,  Egypt, Allah M. I. Fath
Published: February 2023

Intensive studies have been done to get robust encryption algorithms. Due to the importance of image information, image encryption has become played a vital rule in information security. Many image encryption schemes have been proposed but most of them suffer from poor robustness against severe types of attacks. In this paper two proposed techniques will be presented for color image encryption to be robust to severe attacks: composite attack. One of these approaches is represented by hybrid use of both steganography and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) based encryption and the other one in which Fractional Fast Fourier Transform (FRFFT) has been used with DWT. Not only new techniques will be presented but also a new chaotic map has been used as random keys for both algorithms. After extensive comparative study with some traditional techniques, it has been found that the proposed algorithms have achieved better performance.

Optical wireless communications (OWC) are among the best alternative techniques for transmitting information-laden optical radiation across a free-space channel from one place to another. DC-biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) is a technique that sacrifices the power efficiency to transmit unipolar OFDM signals. The primary drawback with DCO-OFDM is its clipping noise, which causes distortion and lowers the bit error rate (BER). Thus, in this paper, we show the performance of DCO with different coded techniques to improve the BER in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) for IMDD systems. The experimental results show that the coded DCO-OFDM has the best performance. Furthermore, turbo coding has the best coding technique added to the DCO-OFDM system.

Günümüz devlet geleneklerini ve bu geleneklerde etkili olan faktörleri anlamak için tarihi sürecin irdelenmesi gerekmektedir. Binlerce yıllık Türk tarihinde de devlet anlayışı zaman içerisinde olgunlaşmış ve günümüze gelmiştir. Türk devlet geleneği üzerinde etkili olan devlet anlayışlarından biri de Fars medeniyeti olmuştur. Büyük Selçuklu Devleti kuruluş döneminde iki farklı millet ve medeniyetin yönetim anlamında birbirinden neden ve ne şekilde etkilendiğinin izah edilmesi hedeflenen bu çalışmada, Türklerin ve Farslıların milli özellikleri de incelenmiştir. Tarihte imparatorluk hüviyetine sahip ilk devlet olan Persler ve Orta Asya göçebe toplumu döneminden başlayarak Türklerin, toplumun devlet aygıtına bakışı kapsamında ve devletin ayakta kalması adına uygulamaları ele alınmış, netice itibariyle aralarındaki benzerlikler ortaya konulmuştur. Coğrafi alanın ortaklığı gibi farklı etmenler ışığında oluşan kültürel etkileşimin kuruluş dönemi Büyük Selçuklu Devleti’nden günümüz Türkiye’sine kadar uzanan ve ortak ve kadim İslam medeniyetinin etkisi ile Türkiye – İran ilişkileri üzerine değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır.
A new horizon in the prescription pattern of drugs for osteoarthritis in a tertiary care hospital: A prospective observational study
Authors: N Raghu , Raghu Suneetha
Published: February 2023

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a significant contributor to chronic pain, mainly affecting lower extremity joints like the knee and hip, and causing considerable impairment in elderly individuals. OA treatment focuses on easing discomfort and enhancing mobility. Despite their adverse unfavorable effects, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDs) are frequently used for symptom alleviation. However, there is still a need for secure and efficient alternative therapies that could provide OA patients with both symptomatic relief and disease-modifying benefits. Despite the indisputable fact that the disease has a substantial socioeconomic impact on patients, there is not much research available to reflect on the medicine prescription pattern in OA.

Aim and Objectives: The objectives of this study were to assess the prescription pattern and their rationality in patients with OA in a tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional, prospective, and observational study conducted in the orthopedics department for all newly diagnosed and old treated patients with OA. Around 350 patients were taken into the study and their prescriptions were scrutinized. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data and present it as percentages.

Results: Over 61.7% of females were affected compared to 38.3% of males with OA. The knee joint (76.2%) followed by the hip joint (13.7%) were the most common joints involved. Aceclofenac and diclofenac were the most common NSAIDs used in the patients, whereas piroxicam was the least prescribed drug. Gastroprotective agents, calcium supplements, and SYSDOA were the commonest adjuvants used in the treatment of OA patients.

Conclusions: Even though NSAIDs are favored, SYSDOA and non-pharmacological treatments such as lifestyle changes, and frequent mild exercise have changed the treatment plan for OA.

Published: February 2023

Background: Providing immediate feedback to students has shown improvement in students’ knowledge, understanding, and confidence as it helps in identifying lacunae and loopholes in learning process. Despite the usefulness of feedback, common complaint from students is that they usually do not receive feedback immediately in their learning process. We also face similar situation with our students in institute. The aim of this study was to find out effect of giving immediate feedback and explore the views of medical students on immediate feedback during formative assessment.

Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of immediate feedback on the medical students’ learning in medical education.

Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in Department of Physiology, GMERS Medical College, Valsad on 183 students of 1st MBBS after ethical approval. Two types of modules were prepared on using “Hot Potatoes” software version 6.3. Module-1: Test 1 without feedback: consist of 20 MCQs and Module-2: Test 2 with feedback: consist of 20 MCQs, provide immediate feedback for each option of MCQ. Two modules were given one by one on WhatsApp group on mobile phone. Reflection writing and feedback from students were taken after that.

Results: The qualitative data collected provided important information about the immediate feedback. Feedback responses of students on the questionnaire were analyzed using Likert scale. The Likert scale values were in strongly agree/agree part for Module-2 (with feedback). The students believed that immediate feedback was very helpful in clearing concepts, finding out lacunae, improvement in confidence, and self-learning. An excellent way for self-assessment and improved their deeper understanding of content areas. The students enjoyed innovative way of learning compared to conventional learning.

Conclusion: Immediate feedback using this type of feedback modules should be implemented to improve students’ knowledge, understanding, memory, and confidence and can be used as self-directed learning tool.

Published: February 2023

Os altos índices de evasão e repetência no Ensino Médio Integrado dos Institutos Federais têm contribuído para o distanciamento da tão almejada democratização da educação. Dessa forma, tanto a gestão pública quanto os pesquisadores em educação vem buscando discutir e propor alternativas para essa problemática por meio do incentivo e do desenvolvimento de pesquisas e criação de estratégias no que se refere à questão da evasão no País e incentivar a permanência e êxito do estudante. Desde 2010, o Instituto Federal de Goiás instituiu, em seu organograma, a Coordenação de Apoio Pedagógico ao Discente, com o objetivo de prestar suporte aos alunos de todos os níveis e modalidades de ensino de seus Câmpus. O presente relato traz a experiência do Câmpus Uruaçu do IFG, quanto às medidas de acompanhamento psicopedagógico ao discente como ferramenta para contribuir com permanência e êxito dos estudantes do Ensino Médio Integrado. Ainda que a redução dos elevados índices de evasão seja um desafio, os dados apresentados demonstram um decréscimo considerável nos números de repetência ao longo dos anos, contrariando uma cultura enraizada de justificativa de qualidade por meio da retenção. Vários fatores são determinantes para a obtenção deste avanço, dentre os quais, as intervenções realizadas pelos profissionais da equipe multiprofissional, tanto de cunho pedagógico e/ou psicológico.

Published: February 2023

Anger and emotional regulation can be a reaction to a perceived internal or external provocation and can be psychological interpretation of having been offended, wronged or denied and a tendency to react through retaliation. Whereas mental health means an absence of mental illness and can be measured through usage of different scales or inventories. Present study is an attempt to assess mental health, anger and emotional regulation among early and late adolescents including both male and female students. Method: To understand present aim of the study a total sample of 120 were taken from Delhi University (D.U) and Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI). We further divided our sample into early adolescent aged 13-15 yrs. and late adolescents aged 16-19 yrs. Further sample was split on the basis of gender, thus 60 subjects were divided into 30 male adolescent and 30 female adolescents in both the groups (2×2 factorial design). Tools Used: (1). PGI Health Questionnaire: developed by Verma, Wig, Parshad (1978) (2). The Clinical Anger Scale (CAS) developed by Snell (1995) (3). Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) developed by Gross and John (2003). Result: It was found that early and late adolescents did not differ significantly on the measure of mental health. However while comparing early and late adolescents on the measure of Clinical Anger, it was found that there was a significant difference between the two groups. Clinical anger was found higher in age range of 13-15 as compared to 16-19. Female were found higher than male on the measure of mental health. Emotion regulation has been argued to be an important factor in well-being and it is a way of dealing with strong

The Effect of Board Gender Diversity and Environmental Responsibility on Innovation: Evidence from the Top-Patenting Firms
Authors: Ruth Derek , Sui Sui
Published: February 2023

Today, firms face joint pressures to increase the representation of women at the highest levels of their organizations, and to be more environmentally responsible. Still, the impact of these movements on firm performance is less clear. Through the lens of the Attraction-Selection-Attrition (ASA) Cycle, this study looks at the impact of Board Gender Diversity (BGD) and Environmental Responsibility on Innovative Output as measured by patents. Using a longitudinal sample of the top-patenting firms at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, we find that both BGD and Environmental Responsibility lead to higher levels of Innovative Output, and BGD positively moderates the relationship between Environmental Responsibility and Innovative Output. This paper contributes to existing literature by highlighting the need to consider BGD and Environmental Responsibility at the same time when considering their implications on firm performance. We also expand the scope of the ASA Cycle to include overall firm performance with respect to innovation.

Concord Errors in Postgraduate Theses in Ghana: A Descriptive Analysis
Authors: Arkoh Fenyi Daniel , Morrison Richard
Published: February 2023

The average postgraduate student in Ghana has about 20 years exposure in English language, having been taught and instructed in English from primary to tertiary level. It is, therefore, not far-fetched to expect the postgraduate student to commit minimal to no errors in their L2 writings. The seeming consequential minimal scholarly attention on errors in postgraduate writings regardless of the many studies on students’ errors is therefore not surprising. This study is an attempt to identify, categorise and describe the errors in postgraduate dissertations in Ghana and highlight their implications for language teaching. This exploratory qualitative study carries out a content analysis of 20 randomly selected MA, MPhil and PhD dissertations published between 2020 and 2021. The data are analysed using the theory of Error Analysis. After critically assessing the dissertations, seven (7) categories of concord errors were identified and recorded. These are; subject-verb concord errors, inverted subject concord errors, concord errors associated with ‘has’ and ‘have’, determiner-noun errors, concord errors on numbers, noun-pronoun antecedent errors and compound subject concord errors. This implies that postgraduate students are prone to errors, hence, the need to introduce or intensify the teaching of English at the postgraduate level.
Small Scale Domestic Agro-Processing: Implications for Women Empowerment in OTI Region of Ghana
Authors: Nantui Mabe Franklin
Published: February 2023

This Agro-processing is one of the agricultural value chain activities that can contribute significantly to industrial development in Ghana and reduce large importation of agro-products with the attendant consequences of high inflation. Whilst factory agri-processing is still at the infant stage, domestic agri-processing which is dominated by women tends to empower them. With the help of a two-stage least square, this study assessed the impacts of small-scale domestic agro-processing on women empowerment in Oti Region of Ghana using cross-sectional data. The model also revealed the predictors of women’s participation in agro-processing as well as women empowerment. The main predictors of women’s participation in small-scale domestic agro-processing are education, training on agro-processing, group membership, parents, friends, or family members’ participation in agro-processing. Also, women empowerment is influenced by education, participation in paid employment, marital age, group membership, distance to district capital, and leadership position. Women who are engaged in agro-processing are 18.2% more empowered than their counterparts. Therefore, interventions aiming at improving women empowerment should consider including small-scale domestic agro-processing. To do this effectively, women should be encouraged to get themselves educated, join women groups, and take up leadership positions. Women in rural areas should be prioritized in this regard.
Parental Equality in the European Human Rights Regime: Does European Human Rights Law Allow for Mothers and Fathers to be Evaluated by Different Standards in the Context of Custody Disputes?

Parental Equality in the European Human Rights Regime: Does European Human Rights Law Allow for Mothers and Fathers to be Evaluated by Different Standards in the Context of Custody Disputes?

The rise in divorce rates around Europe has led to an increase in custody cases before national and international courts. In these challenging and often volatile cases, rights of children and parents are simultaneously at stake, rendering decision-making at the courts a highly delicate balancing act. Debates regarding custody policies have been characterized by changing gender roles and a battle for equality, while gender-based parenting roles have become less distinct. This raises questions with regards to the perceived divide between mothers and fathers in family adjudication. The aim of this article is to identify what European human rights law has to say with regards to parental equality in custody disputes, and to what extent it leaves room for parents to be evaluated by different standards. Two main factors are brought forward: contemporary values and perceptions of parenthood, and the indeterminacy of the best interests of the child. The effects of these two factors are analyzed in the context of case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. The article argues that differing evaluation of mothers and fathers in custody-related disputes is, to a certain degree, allowed by the European human rights regime, whenever such difference is deemed justified by the best interests of the child.
Conjugando la colaboración en grupos de investigación de alto rendimiento en el ámbito científico-académico
Authors: López Carrasco Carlos , Belli Simone
Published: February 2023

El ámbito científico-académico y la organización de los grupos de investigación se han transformado y complejizado profundamente, lo que ha llevado a investigadores e investigadoras a experimentar tensiones y contradicciones en términos de interdependencia/autonomía y verticalidad/horizontalidad. En este artículo abordamos cómo el personal científico gestiona estas tensiones a través de un análisis discursivo de entrevistas semiestructuradas a integrantes de grupos de investigación españoles de «alto rendimiento» de diferentes disciplinas y rangos, combinadas con observaciones etnográficas. Nos centramos en cómo se enuncia el sujeto, individual y colectivo, estudiando el uso de pronombres y otros términos que representan el grupo. Proponemos que, a pesar de una vocación colaborativa, el grupo se concibe como el marco donde hay individuos que trabajan autónomamente y, ocasionalmente, confluyen. Factores como las trayectorias profesionales y la posición de miembros en el equipo, la diversidad de edades y la organización espacial de los grupos condicionan el apego expresivo a formas más o menos colectivas de colaboración.

The objective of this study was to adjust mathematical equations that accurately and non-destructively estimate the growth of pods and seeds of pigeon pea cultivar Fava Larga from the average length and width. For this, the maximum width (W), maximum length (L), and observed mass (OM) of pods and seeds were measured. Linear models of the first degree, quadratic, power, and exponential were adjusted based on the value of 400 pods and 1938 seeds, in which the OM was used as a dependent variable as a function of L and W as independent variables. For the validation of the models, the root means square of the error was calculated from all equations. Thus, in the estimation of the growth in mg of the pods and seeds of the 'Fava Larga' pigeon pea, the quadratic model equations represented by  and , respectively, obtained using the width.

The objective of this work was to obtain mathematical equations and indicate the most appropriate estimation of the leaf area of Dalbergia frutescens, by a non-destructive method through the linear dimensions of the leaves. A total of 370 leaves of D. frutescens were collected, 270 of which were used to adjust the equations and 100 for validation. The length (L) along the main vein, the maximum width (W), the product of multiplying the length and width (LW), and the observed leaf area (OLA) was measured for all leaves. First degree, quadratic, and power linear equation models were fitted, where OLA was the dependent variable as a function of L, W and LW. From the 100 leaves destined for validation, and using the adjusted equations for each mathematical model, the estimated leaf area (ELA) was obtained. The means obtained from ELA and OLA were compared using Student's t test at 5% probability. The mean absolute error, the root mean square error, and the d Willmott index were also determined. The first-degree linear model represented  based on the product of multiplying the length by the width is the most suitable to determine the leaf area of D. frutescens with high precision.

The expansion of the papaya crop depends on cultivars with superior characteristics and human acceptance of the product. Thus, the objective was to study the sensory aspect and the main chemical characteristics of the fruit in 23 papaya genotypes cultivated in the north of the state of Espírito Santo and to evaluate if any chemical characteristic can be used to replace the evaluation by the hedonic scale. At 12 months after planting, fruit samples were evaluated for soluble solids content, titratable acidity, SS/TA ratio and a nine-point structured hedonic scale. The samples submitted to the hedonic scale were represented in codes and evaluated according to the experimental design in randomized blocks, totaling 12 treatments with 15 replications in the first experiment and 11 treatments and 21 replications in the second experiment. The data obtained were submitted to analysis of variance and Tukey's test at 5% probability. The means of the four characteristics, in the two experiments, were submitted to Pearson's linear correlation analysis. There was marked variability between the genotypes by the hedonic scale in the two experiments, highlighting the hybrids CR1 x São Mateus and JS12 x SSAM as the most accepted by the consumer.

O semiárido mineiro inclui as mesorregiões Norte e Jequitinhonha, abrangendo uma população superior a dois milhões de habitantes em 140 municípios, o que equivale a 10,46% da área brasileira em que predomina este clima. Entre as diversas dificuldades para a otimização do sistema produtivo da agricultura familiar nestas mesorregiões, destaca-se a escassez de sementes crioulas adaptadas aos agroecossistemas específicos, que são bastante distintos das áreas experimentais utilizadas pelo melhoramento genético convencional. Com o declínio de pequenos produtores, perdem-se, também, variedades locais e o conhecimento tradicional associado – um dano incalculável pela perda de reservatórios gênicos. Diante disso executou-se no interstício dos anos de 2017 a 2021, um projeto intitulado "Melhoramento Participativo de Milho com Enfoque na Agrobiodiversidade do Semiárido Mineiro", com fomento aprovado pelo Banco do Nordeste. Foram realizadas visitas técnicas em diversas comunidades rurais nas áreas de abrangência, coletando-se relatos sobre variedades locais muitíssimo escassas. A despeito deste franco processo de erosão de genética, obteve-se, com muita procura, amostras de sementes fidedignas dessa categoria. Os depósitos ocorreram no Laboratório de Biotecnologia da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais - UFMG (campus Montes Claros), totalizando 44 variedades resgatadas, às quais foram caracterizadas por meio de oligonucleotídeos do tipo ISSR (Inter Simple Sequences Repeats). Os diagnósticos locais comunitários, ainda que morosos e pouco céleres, permitiram recuperar preciosos genótipos de milhos crioulos, fontes de variabilidade para tolerância a estresses causados por pragas, doenças e limitações de clima, todos estes contextualizados ao semiárido.

Published: February 2023

The research problem raised aims to find out how the process of internationalization of furniture companies is related to the Uppsala theory. This research is a case study with an object, namely the company Aida Furniture which is one of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in the furniture industry. This research was conducted through a descriptive and qualitative approach. To obtain the necessary data, the authors conducted in-depth interviews with business owners from Aida Furniture. Determination of the subject is done purposively where the researcher determines the sampling by determining the special characteristics that are by the research objectives so that they are expected to be able to answer research problems. The biggest problem in the process of market internationalization is on the supply side where the government and universities are expected to be able to fill this gap by standardizing treatment in usage and other processes. In the internationalization process described, Uppsala's theory cannot be used to explain the internationalization process model at Aida Furniture. Meanwhile, the process of spreading sales areas can be explained by the Uppsala theory.

The main focus of this study is to understand how the banking system works in the perception of financial institutions (BANKS) regarding lending to new ventures or businesses. Considering the forms and methods of granting credits available by Angolan banks, taking into account that the stage of business introduction, ends up being the most difficult and risky, after the business needs the future time to make its operations sold, thus increasing the risk for both financial institutions, when for those who assume the risk of financing, investors. The study sand delimits in researching alternatives or availability of credit in some of the banks. One of the objectives is to explore the market and the behavior of financing institutions since private investors need to use the economic and financial system to provide means or conditions that facilitate the collection and application of savings. Qualitative and descriptive research models will be used. The research will be applied to some of the banks with greater financial soundness in Angola, which have their headquarters or headquarters in their territory, to answer the research objectives.

Published: February 2023

Delen and Zolbanin (2018), when dealing with the availability of increasing amounts of informational data, highlight the emergence of new problems that cannot be effectively addressed through traditional methods of statistical analysis. This is because Shmueli and Koppius (2011) observe that studies in these disciplines have used causal statistical-explanatory modeling and statistical inference to test causal hypotheses and the evaluation of the explanatory power of the underlying causal models. While these prevalent models and problem-solving paradigms have generated significant visions in recent decades, they have prevented researchers from working on emerging business problems.
Digital games in physics teaching: the study of a nuclear power plant through scratch
Authors: Mata Jaqueline Sales da , Barbosa Miguel Bonafe
Published: February 2023

This study presents a game developed through the Scratch programming language, making it possible to be an educational support tool for the teacher. In an increasingly technological world, it is natural that this resource can also be inserted in schools, however, teachers need pedagogical tools to help them in the classroom. Thus, the objective of this work was to develop, using Scratch, a quiz that could facilitate the study of nuclear energy production. For this, the work was developed in three moments: 1) a bibliographic survey was carried out to evaluate how Scratch is used in physics teaching; 2) preparation of a script containing which aspects would be addressed and the story behind the game; 3) a question and answer game was programmed using Scratch. The contribution of this work will support teachers during the preparation of classes for basic education. It is also expected to contribute to the awareness of nurses about the risks of the disease and how it can be prevented since they are multiplier agents of the education and health of the population.

Scientific knowledge is the basis for any experiment and which must be based on a methodological process, which uses scientific materials and methods to determine the cause and effect of a given object of investigation, this method must meet some requirements among them the possibility of replication of the method and the possibility of being testable, rebuttable and fallible. These concepts have deepened over time and one of their foundations is in philosophy, which is extremely complex and comprehensive.

Breast cancer is one of the most incident cancers and has been considered the leading cause of death for women worldwide. When it is restricted to a mumlobulum or duct it is defined as noninvasive breast cancer, such as ductal carcinoma in situ and lobular carcinoma in situ. On the other hand, when malignant cells extend to regions adjacent to or far from breast tissue, an invasive or metastatic breast cancer is characterized, such as infiltrated ductal and lobular carcinomas, mucinous carcinoma, and tubular carcinoma.

Studies in the area of natural products have been developed with the biomonitoring of their plant extracts, a fact that improves research on bioactive substances of economic interest. Therefore, there is a demand for scientific studies involving plants with biological activity, so that such practice should be encouraged, forming a promising and effective path for the discovery of new drugs. These new products can bring foreign exchange, besides offering opportunities for job creation along the production chain, not only in the urban area, but, above all, in the rural area, contributing to the deconcentration of income and, therefore, to the internalization of the development of the Amazon (SILVA, 2013).

One of the situations that require greater sensitivity from Nurses is the reception of cancer patients, since it is the moment when they feel most unprotected and insecure. The reception is a care that facilitates adaptation to the hospital environment. When the patient enters the hospital, it is important to reduce the feelings generated by uncertainty about the future, by pain, by previous negative experiences or by the simple arrival to an unknown place.
The various normative fronts in the fight against terrorism and the limitations surround the concept

The term "war on terrorism" is not a legal term, since by international law, for there to be a war, belligerent states must engage in armed conflict with each other. Therefore, although many states are engaged in the fight against terrorism, this fight only qualifies as war if and when there is a fighting state on the side of the terrorist organization, so there is nothing to prevent the "war on terrorism" from turning into an interstate war (CORDESMAN, 2018).

Authors: Pinho Anna Beatriz Araujo de , Silva Jéssica Larissa Reis e
Published: February 2023

"A group process can sensitize each subject in its uniqueness, and bring about interesting transformations in their everyday relationships - with themselves, with others, with the world." (SAMEA, 2008, p. 89). Thus, the group can add to its participants new experiences, providing new perceptions about everything that involves this subject. "The group space enables the contact and recognition of one's own doing, its limits and facilities; the observation of the other's doing, the perception of similarities and contrasts, and the potentialization of doing together." (SAMEA, 2008, p. 88). Thus, this paper seeks to present the course of the discipline "Group Dynamics and Body Activities" and point out the possibilities of using the group as a powerful resource for intervention in various professions.
