“A coalition of the willing”: experiences of co-designing an online pain management programme (iSelf-help) for people with persistent pain
Authors: Devan Hemakumar , Perry Meredith A. , Yaghoubi Mostafa , Hale Leigh
Published: May 2021

Background

Participatory approaches to developing health interventions with end-users are recommended to improve uptake and use. We aimed to explore the experiences of co-designing an online-delivered pain management programme (iSelf-help) for people with persistent pain.

Methods

A modified participatory action research (PAR) framework was used to co-design contents and delivery of iSelf-help. The PAR team included: (1) a patient advisory group consisting of people living with persistent pain (n = 8), (2) pain management service clinicians (n = 2), (3) health researchers (n = 3), (4) digital health experts (n = 2), (5) a health literacy expert, and (6) two Māori health researchers and our community partner who led the cultural appropriateness of iSelf-help for Māori (the Indigenous population of New Zealand). The iSelf-help co-design processes and activities of the ‘PAR’ team is reported in another paper. In this paper, all PAR team members were invited to share their experiences of the co-design process. Individual interviews were held with 12 PAR team members. Interview transcripts were analysed using the General Inductive Approach.

Results

Five common themes were identified from the interviews: (1) Shared understanding and values of the co-design process, (2) Mismatched expectations with content creation, (3) Flexibility to share power and decision making, (4) Common thread of knowledge, and (5) Shared determination. Sustaining these themes was an overarching theme of “A coalition of the willing”.

Conclusions

PAR team members valued the shared determination and responsibility to co-design iSelf-help. They also acknowledged the complexities and challenges during the process related to mismatched expectations, power sharing and establishing a common thread of knowledge. Successful co-design requires a shared commitment and responsibility as a coalition to meet the aspirations of end-users, within the boundaries of time and budget.

Purpose

Cancer patients with a history of radiotherapy are at an increased risk of ischemic heart disease. Preclinical animal studies demonstrate markedly impaired acetylcholine (ACh)-mediated endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation within days to weeks post-irradiation, however, whether microvascular function is affected in the intact human circulation during cancer radiation therapy has yet to be determined.

Materials and methods

Using laser-Doppler flowmetry, microvascular endothelium-dependent and independent responses were evaluated through iontophoresis of acetylcholine (ACh) (part 1, n = 7) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP) (part 2, n = 8), respectively, in women currently receiving unilateral chest adjuvant radiation therapy for breast cancer. Measurements were performed at the site of radiation treatment and at a contralateral control, non-radiated site. Cutaneous vascular conductance (CVC) was calculated by normalizing for mean arterial pressure.

Results and Conculsions

In part 1, patients received an average radiation dose of 2104 ± 236 cGy. A significantly lower peak ACh-mediated endothelium-dependent vasodilation was observed within the radiated microvasculature when compared to non-radiated (radiated: 532 ± 167%, non-radiated 1029 ± 263%; P = 0.02). In part 2, the average radiation dose received was 2251 ± 196 cGy. Iontophoresis of SNP elicited a similar peak endothelium-independent vasodilator response in radiated and non-radiated tissue (radiated: 179 ± 58%, non-radiated: 310 ± 158; P = 0.2). The time to 50% of the peak response for ACh and SNP was similar between radiated and non-radiated microvasculature (P < 0.05). These data provide evidence of early endothelium-dependent microvascular dysfunction in cancer patients currently receiving chest radiation and provide the scientific premise for future work evaluating coronary endothelial function and vasomotor reactivity using more detailed and invasive procedures.
Diagnostic role of computed tomography enterography (CTE) in assessment of intra-mural and extra-intestinal CT findings in active Crohn’s disease (CD)
Authors: Ali Rasha Mostafa Mohamed , Ghonimy Mai Bahgat Ibrahim
Published: May 2021

Background

Crohn’s disease (CD) is a ruinous bowel disease, which, if left uncured, leads to penetrating bowel complications. Computed tomography enterography (CTE) is nowadays accepted as a principal modality for the assessment of small bowel diseases. The aim of this study is to assess the role of CT enterography in the identification of intramural as well as extra-intestinal CT changes yielding more thorough data about the level and severity of the disease process thus planning appropriate treatment strategy.

Results

From March 2017 to January 2019, 50 patients in Cairo, Egypt, who had clinical manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease, were evaluated by MDCTE. CT image analysis was processed, including anatomical localization of bowel segments affection, assessment of mucosal thickening and hyper-enhancement, and extra-enteric affection. Diagnosis of Crohn’s disease (CD) was confirmed by endoscopy and histopathology; mucosal thickening was seen in 42 patients (84%), mucosal hyper-enhancement was seen in 44 patients (88%) while engorgement of vasa recta (comb’s sign) was seen in 38 patients (76%).

Conclusion

Although ileocolonoscopy is a proven sensitive method to detect mucosal injury and diagnose disease activity, it is limited by its maximal extent and inability to detect transmural complications as well as limited ability to assess deep bowel wall involvement. CT enterography (CTE) is a valuable technique in diagnostic evaluation of intramural and extra-intestinal involvement in Crohn’s disease (CD) during disease activity.

Published: May 2021

We have introduced a passive surface-wave method using seismic ambient noise obtained from dozens of receivers forming spatially unaliased 2D arrays. The method delineates 2D or 3D S-wave velocity ([Formula: see text]) models to depths of several hundreds of meters, without using any sources. Typical data acquisition uses 50–100 vertical-component 2 Hz geophones on the surface with 5–30 m receiver spacing. Cableless seismographs with GPS record 20–60 min of ambient noise. We establish a 2D grid covering the investigation area and use a common-midpoint spatial autocorrelation (CMP-SPAC) method to calculate phase velocities, resulting in a dispersion curve for each grid point. The method provides dozens of ispersion curves in the investigation area. We use a 1D nonlinear inversion to estimate a 1D [Formula: see text] profile for each grid point, and then we construct pseudo-2D or pseudo-3D [Formula: see text] models from the 1D [Formula: see text] profiles. The precision and accuracy of the CMP-SPAC method were tested with a numerical simulation using a 3D finite-difference method. The results of the simulation demonstrated the applicability of the method to complex velocity structures. We applied the method to an active fault investigation in China. Sixty-four cableless seismographs were deployed in an investigation area of 330 × 660 m (217,800 m2) with 5 and 30 m receiver spacings for dense and sparse grids, respectively. A 3D [Formula: see text] model was obtained to a depth of 150 m from CMP-SPAC analysis. The resultant 3D [Formula: see text] model indicates approximately 50 m of vertical displacement on a known fault.
Reservoir characterization over the Lille Prinsen and Ivar Aasen fields in the Norwegian North Sea using ocean-bottom-node seismic data — A case study

Published: May 2021

We have developed an integrated workflow for estimating elastic parameters within the Late Triassic Skagerrak Formation, the Middle Jurassic Sleipner and Hugin Formations, the Paleocene Heimdal Formation, and the Eocene Grid Formation in the Utsira High area of the Norwegian North Sea. Our workflow begins with petrophysical analysis carried out at the available wells. Then, model-based prestack simultaneous impedance inversion outputs were derived, and attempts were made to estimate the petrophysical parameters (the volume of shale, porosity, and water saturation) from seismic data using extended elastic impedance. On not obtaining convincing results, we switched over to multiattribute regression analysis for estimating them, which yielded encouraging results. Finally, the Bayesian classification approach was used for defining different facies in the intervals of interest.

PURPOSE

Patients with cancer who use tobacco experience reduced treatment effectiveness, increased risk of recurrence and mortality, and diminished quality of life. Accurate tobacco use documentation for patients with cancer is necessary for appropriate clinical decision making and cancer outcomes research. Our aim was to assess agreement between electronic health record (EHR) smoking status data and cancer registry data.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

We identified all patients with cancer seen at University of Florida Health from 2015 to 2018. Structured EHR smoking status was compared with the tumor registry smoking status for each patient. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values, negative predictive values, and Kappa statistics were calculated. We used logistic regression to determine if patient characteristics were associated with odds of agreement in smoking status between EHR and registry data.

RESULTS

We analyzed 11,110 patient records. EHR smoking status was documented for nearly all (98%) patients. Overall kappa (0.78; 95% CI, 0.77 to 0.79) indicated moderate agreement between the registry and EHR. The sensitivity was 0.82 (95% CI, 0.81 to 0.84), and the specificity was 0.97 (95% CI, 0.96 to 0.97). The logistic regression results indicated that agreement was more likely among patients who were older and female and if the EHR documentation occurred closer to the date of cancer diagnosis.

CONCLUSION

Although documentation of smoking status for patients with cancer is standard practice, we only found moderate agreement between EHR and tumor registry data. Interventions and research using EHR data should prioritize ensuring the validity of smoking status data. Multilevel strategies are needed to achieve consistent and accurate documentation of smoking status in cancer care.
Participation of Black Americans in Cancer Clinical Trials: Current Challenges and Proposed Solutions
Authors: Awidi Muhammad , Al Hadidi Samer
Published: May 2021

Low participation of Black Americans in cancer clinical trials is a well-established predicament. Many factors resulted in this current dilemma with racism being the fundamental unit. Here, we discuss some current challenges and proposed solutions to help in increasing the enrollment of Black Americans in cancer clinical trials. We suggest implementing the least acceptable race-specific percentage as a new bar that registrational clinical trials need to pass before cancer drugs approval. Clinical trials will continue to draw the future of cancer therapeutics in which we believe that a prompt improvement of Black Americans participation is warranted.
Degrees of Separation
Authors: Arner Lynn
Published: May 2021

This study investigates whether the hiring of professors in Canada, a land of public universities and inexpensive tuition, is more equitable in terms of socioeconomic class than the hiring of their counterparts in the United States. Featuring original data on the degrees of all tenure track and tenured faculty members who teach in English doctoral programs in Canada, this article examines the relation between, on the one hand, the nationalities and the rankings of the programs in which these scholars obtained their degrees and, on the other, the tier of the programs in which these scholars teach. Employing previously unprocessed data from Statistics Canada and in dialogue with research on higher education, including the writings of Pierre Bourdieu, this article discusses the mechanisms through which faculty hiring patterns in Canadian English departments are strongly tied to PhD holders’ socioeconomic backgrounds. This study discusses the implications of such tracking patterns for first-generation university students—who comprise 38.8 percent of English doctoral recipients in Canada—when they seek positions in the professoriat.
Writing Faculty and Librarians Collaborate
Authors: Kazan Tina S. , Behm Nicholas N. , Cook Peg
Published: May 2021

This article addresses the interrelationship among writing, reading, and information literacy (WRIL) by discussing a collaborative assessment project that generated a criteria map focused on process, enactment, engagement, and attribution. The authors connect this map to the Framework for Success in Postsecondary Writing and the Framework for Information Literacy for Higher Education but critique the failure of these frameworks to account for the importance of reading. In emphasizing WRIL for students, the authors contend that practitioners must help students understand WRIL practices as dynamic, developing, and complex, and they provide pedagogical suggestions for assigning reference materials, reading as researchers, and sharing visualization tools.
Social Annotation as Transcontextualization in Graduate Reading Practices
Authors: Sprouse Michelle
Published: May 2021

Graduate students must learn to read as professionals who move their reading work into spoken and written discourse. This study borrows Deborah Brandt and Katie Clinton's description of transcontextualizing moves to examine how graduate students use social annotation to develop as readers. Specifically, the study examines graduate reading practices through think-aloud protocols and archived annotations of three readers enrolled in a doctoral literacy seminar. Findings suggest that graduate readers may benefit from opportunities to reflect on how the technologies of annotation contribute to the transcontextualization of their reading across time and space.

Σκοπός της παρούσας Διδακτορικής Διατριβής είναι η ανάπτυξη και η επικύρωση μεθοδολογιών και υπολογιστικών εργαλείων, τα οποία επιτρέπουν τον αποτελεσματικό σχεδιασμό, τη βελτιστοποίηση και την αριθμητική προσομοίωση αεροελαστικών συστημάτων. Συγκεκριμένα, αναπτύχθηκε ένα λογισμικό με το όνομα “T4T” (Tools for Turbomachinery - Εργαλεία για στροβιλομηχανές) για τον παραμετρικό σχεδιασμό τόσο της εξωτερικής επιφάνειας των πτερυγίων ανεμογεννητριών οριζοντίου άξονα όσο και της εσωτερικής τους δομής. Η όλη διαδικασία είναι πλήρως παραμετρική και επιτρέπει στον χρήστη να ορίσει πτερύγια διαφόρων τύπων. Επιπλέον, το λογισμικό παρέχει τη δυνατότητα αυτοματοποίησης των διαδικασιών του (batch mode) έτσι ώστε να μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί αυτόματα σε έναν κύκλο βελτιστοποίησης και να παράγει διαφορετικές υποψήφιες γεωμετρίες, διατηρώντας παράλληλα αμετάβλητη την τοπολογία τους. Όσον αφορά στη μεθοδολογία βελτιστοποίησης, που χρησιμοποιείται στον προαναφερθέντα κύκλο σχεδιασμού των ανεμογεννητριών, αναπτύχθηκε ένας παράλληλος, σύγχρονος/ασύγχρονος, Διαφορικός Εξελικτικός αλγόριθμος, που κάνει χρήση μεταμοντέλων (Differential Evolution (DE) algorithm).

Η μέθοδος υπολογίζει όλες τις απαραίτητες παραμέτρους που απαιτούνται από το λογισμικό "T4T" για την περιγραφή της επιφάνειας του πτερυγίου ως μια μοναδική επιφάνεια NURBS. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάζεται μία μεθοδολογία για την παραμόρφωση υπολογιστικών πλεγμάτων η οποία βασίζεται στη μέθοδο παρεμβολής με χρήση των ακτινικών συναρτήσεων βάσης (Radial Basis Functions - RBFs). Επιπλέον, αναπτύχθηκε μία προσέγγιση για την επιτάχυνση της διαδικασίας παραμόρφωσης πλεγμάτων με χρήση RBFs μέσω της τεχνικής μείωσης των επιφανειακών κόμβων, λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τη συσσωμάτωση (agglomeration) των γειτονικών όγκων ελέγχου. Βασίζεται στη στρατηγική που ακολουθείται από αντίστοιχες μεθόδους πολυπλέγματος (multigrid) που στοχεύουν στην επιτάχυνση της αριθμητικής επίλυσης προβλημάτων ροής ρευστού και μετάδοσης θερμότητας μέσω ακτινοβολίας κ.λπ. Τέλος, αναπτύχθηκε μία μεθοδολογία για την αριθμητική επίλυση προβλημάτων αλληλεπίδρασης ρευστού-στερεού (Fluid Structure Interaction - FSI), η οποία βασίζεται στη μέθοδο των RBFs και της τεχνικής του διαμερισμού της μονάδας (Partition of Unity - PoU). Με αυτήν την προσέγγιση, εξασφαλίζεται η αρχή διατήρησης της ενέργειας, της ορμής και της δύναμης κατά την μεταφορά της πληροφορίας μεταξύ των πλεγμάτων του ρευστού και του στερεού.

Compatibility and combined efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi and neonicotinoid insecticides against Myzus persicae (Sulzer): An ecofriendly approach
Authors: Halder Jaydeep , Majumder Sujan , Rai A. B.
Published: May 2021

Efficacy of different entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) viz., Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae and Lecanicillium (=Verticillium) lecanii and neonicotinoid insecticides i.e., Imidacloprid, Thiamethoxam and Acetamiprid were evaluated alone and their 1:1 combination against Lipaphis erysimi prevalent in vegetable ecosystem. Among the entomopathogenic fungi, B. bassiana was found most promising registering lowest median lethal time (LT50) of 48.17, 48.92 and 48.87 h during the period of 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively, followed by L. lecanii (49.57, 49.45 and 50.46 h), M. anisopliae (51.81, 51.67 and 51.63 h). Amongst the three neonicotinoids, Acetamiprid was found more efficacious than the Imidacloprid and Thiamethoxam. Blending of B. bassiana and Acetamiprid at half of their recommended dose took lowest (22.76, 23.48 and 23.06 h during 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively) lethal time to kill the fifty per cent test population followed by L. lecanii + Acetamiprid (22.58, 22.68, 22.52 h) and M. anisopliae + Acetamiprid (22.61, 23.82, 23.60 h). Combinations of these entomopathogenic fungi and neonicotinoid insecticides had co-toxicity co-efficient values > 1 and lower LT50 values than each of their individual indicating the compatibility amongst them. Co-application of these EPF with sub-lethal concentration of neonicotinoids could not only be a green ecofriendly option against this sucking pest but also able to minimize the chemical insecticides load in the environment.
Increase of SARS-CoV-2 RNA load in faecal samples prompts for rethinking of SARS-CoV-2 biology and COVID-19 epidemiology
Authors: Petrillo Mauro , Brogna Carlo , Cristoni Simone , Querci Maddalena , Piazza Ornella , Van den Eede Guy
Published: May 2021

Background

Scientific evidence for the involvement of human microbiota in the development of COVID-19 disease has been reported recently. SARS-CoV-2 RNA presence in human faecal samples and SARS-CoV-2 activity in faeces from COVID-19 patients have been observed.

Methods

Starting from these observations, an experimental design was developed to cultivate in vitro faecal microbiota from infected individuals, to monitor the presence of SARS-CoV-2, and to collect data on the relationship between faecal bacteria and the virus.

Results

Our results indicate that SARS-CoV-2 replicates in vitro in bacterial growth medium, that the viral replication follows bacterial growth and it is influenced by the administration of specific antibiotics. SARS-CoV-2-related peptides have been detected in 30-day bacterial cultures and characterised.

Discussion

Our observations are compatible with a ‘bacteriophage-like’ behaviour of SARS-CoV-2, which, to our knowledge has not been observed or described before. These results are unexpected and hint towards a novel hypothesis on the biology of SARS-CoV-2 and on the COVID-19 epidemiology. The discovery of possible new modes of action of SARS-CoV-2 has far-reaching implications for the prevention and the treatment of the disease.
Pre-vaccination testing could expand coverage of two-dose COVID vaccines
Authors: Pearson Carl A. B. , Clifford Sam , Pulliam Juliet R. C. , Eggo Rosalind M.
Published: May 2021

Recent evidence indicates that a single dose of mRNA-based vaccines produce similar immune responses in people with evidence of past infection compared with two doses in immunologically naive individuals. For COVID-19 vaccines with two dose regimens, point-of-care antibody testing for prior infection when administering the first dose could enable expanded vaccine access in a cost-effective manner. Generally, antibody tests with sensitivity and specificity well below that typically accepted for product licensure would still enable expanded vaccine coverage, though to be cost-beneficial total test cost (i.e. procurement and administration) needs to be less than roughly a third of total vaccine dose cost. For highly sensitive (90%) and specific (99%) tests, coverage could be expanded by more than 33%. Tests with the appropriate performance characteristics are plausible, though likely need setting specific tailoring.

Evolution of the Unified State Exam in History: Poems and Prose of Teachers' Practices
Authors: Fedorov O. , Verinchuk K.
Published: May 2021

This paper investigates the effect of сonstructed-response items in the Unified State Exam (ESE) in History on exam’s validity and the threats to validity. The Unified State Exam is the primary high-stakes examination for Russian students. Despite playing a vital role as an achievement and an admission test, this exam’s validity has not been looked into. The evolution of this exam is distinctly marked by a growing change in the number and weight of constructed-response items, which might be affecting the validity of test results in many ways. The research was focused on interviews with 36 history experts. Thematic analysis of transcripts helped to identify three main threats to validity: faulty criteria, task content and expert bias. The paper presents these results along with recommendations on improving the test.

Descriptions of Interjections in Selected Polish Dictionaries from 19th Century

The author of the text analyses interjections present in three Polish dictionaries from the 19th century: the dictionaries by S.B. Linde, J.S. Bandtkie and A. Osiński, which are a part of a larger linguistic collection created in order to study and describe historical Polish interjections. The article takes into account the internal diversity of the historical class of interjections in the light of the lexicographers’ attempts to describe such units. Our attention is drawn to the lack of graphical normalization of interjections in the dictionaries, as well as the inconsistency of their marking and definition on the one hand, and the wide range of functional variants on the other. Differences in the manner of presentation of interjections in these dictionaries are also taken into account. Moreover, the author emphasizes the fact that they include a large number of animal-related (hunting) interjections. The study of the dictionary materials confirmed that their authors did not work out a method of a lexicographical description of these linguistic units.
Coś innego to coś innego niż co innego. O tym i rzeczach podobnych
Authors: Danielewiczowa Magdalena
Published: May 2021

Coś innego (Something Else) Is Different than co innego (Something Different). These and Similar Issues

The article discusses the opposition between Polish pronouns ending with -ś and corresponding pronouns which lack this exponent. Such an opposition can be noticed in the combinations of units of both types with the expressions: inny/indziej (else/other), (e.g. ktoś inny : kto inny, coś innego : co innego, gdzieś indziej : gdzie indziej, kiedyś indziej : kiedy indziej, etc.), as well as in some modal contexts (e.g. Potrzebuję kogoś do pomocy vs. Potrzebuję kogo do pomocy, i. e. ‘I need someone to help me’). The author of the article claims that pronouns in such pairs do not possess the same meaning, as they differ semantically and, in some cases, also pragmatically. The semantic difference between them comes down to the key contrast between the subject being spoken of and what is said about the subject. In the contexts under consideration, the pronouns ending with -ś are indexes used to denote objects in the world, while those belonging to the other type only pretend to occupy the positions of the predicate arguments, which are neither specified nor implemented. The article also considers the possibility of treating the analyzed types of expressions not as sets of separate lexemes, but rather as products of adequate operations that should be properly described.

Television Address to the Nation as a Tool of Crisis Communication

Since the coronavirus pandemic began, the institutions of the Polish state have been using various communication methods to minimise the potential impact of the crisis. Such methods include press conferences, social campaigns, and messages broadcast on TV and in the Internet. In addition, the most important people in the country (the President of the Republic of Poland, the Speaker of the Sejm and the Speaker of the Senate) have decided to use their right to speak to the nation in the form of TV addresses. The aim of this article is to analyse the rhetorical and argumentative layer of these speeches, and to describe the most important persuasive strategies used by the politicians to mitigate the negative effects of the crisis of the image of the country.

The Explaining Structure rozumiej (‘understand’) in Old Polish Texts from the Code of Wawrzyniec from Łask

The aim of the article is to show functional divergence of the explaining structure: rozumiej (‘understand’) in the Old Polish apocryphal works from the code of Wawrzyniec from Łask: History of the Three Kings and The Gospel of Nicodemus. This structure was used to introduce new contents to a sentence (explaining a pronoun or a noun/verb). There were two main functions of this structure in analysed texts: organisation of the text, and a didactic role. The analysis leads to some conclusions about possible origins of these elements (it seems that they did not come from glosses or from the last copyist), and shows the need for further research of metatexts in Old Polish literature.

Not Only Bulla Gnieźnieńska. On the Importance of Zbylut’s Foundation Document (Issued in 1153) for Polish Historical and Linguistic Research. Part 1: Research Object

The list of sources used in the research of the oldest period of development of the Polish language is very short. Only Bulla Gnieźnieńska exists in the common consciousness. Meanwhile, the foundation document issued in 1153 by knight Zbylut for the Cistercians in Łekno, called the Zbylut’s document, may be of value to historians of language for at least three reasons: first, it contains onomastic material from the mid-12th century; second, it is available in several versions (including two parallel originals from the mid-12th century and one copy from the end of the same century), which are fully legible and perfectly preserved; and third, it has been carefully studied by a few generations of historians who have carefully considered and resolved many issues related to the circumstances of creating the originals and the copies. The results of their research constitute an invaluable and basic context for historical and linguistic analyses. The aim of the article (the first one in a series) is to introduce the Zbylut’s document (its originals and copies) into the Polish historical-linguistic research, to verify and supplement the existing transliterations, to show the document as an object of studies, and to select historical information that may prove to be important from the historical-linguistic perspective. Further work is aimed at conducting historical-linguistic research on Polish language material, providing transcription (with linguistic justifications) of Polish words and formulating research perspectives. Further works are aimed at carrying out historical and linguistic analyses of Polish language materials, preparing transcriptions of Polish words with their justifications, and formulating research perspectives.

On Shaping the jakoby rzekł Formula in the Old Polish Language

In the 15th century, a commenting formula: jakoby rzekł appeared in Polish as a calque of the Latin: quasi dicat. Its accumulation can be seen in those old Polish apocrypha that are multi-source and focused on theology, not just events. The jakoby rzekł formula occurs almost exclusively in dialogue and introduces a paraphrase of the quoted statement of a Biblical character. It serves various purposes: theological exegesis, especially explaining controversial issues and, sometimes, simplifying theological content, making the figure of Jesus more familiar, or changing the emotional attitude of the reader; also, it introduces explanations of foreign terms. The formula: jakoby rzekł became especially popular in the 16th-century religious texts. They include all functions of the formula noticed in the medieval materials. The formula was used in the Polish language until the 19th century.

Despite the possibility of double motivation, it was assumed that most of them were motivated by male names, with only few derived from verbs, adjectives or nouns. Among the formations in question, words with a negative connotation are prevalent, and positive ones (diminutives and terms of endearment) are rare. This is compliant with colloquial Polish in which negative assessment is dominant, too. According to the analysis: 1) the suffix -ula has a feminizing function when it is used to create female names based on common names, and the expressiveness of the name is transferred from the basis to the derivative; 2) the scope of the suffix -ula is limited to Lesser Poland and Silesia; 3) it hardly ever occurs in other dialects.The author of this article discusses the structure, origin and functions of dialectal pronouns which occur in the local dialect of Posada Jaśliska near Krosno. Posada Jaśliska is a village of three cultures: Polish, Lemko and Slovakian. The author describes mutual influences of these three languages on shaping the collection of pronouns, with particular emphasis on the pronouns that are typical of this area or known only in this place: definite ones, such as haw ‘here’ and het ‘very far, somewhere, from somewhere, away’, and indefinite pronouns, such as dakto ‘whoever’, dagdzie ‘wherever’.

Language Correctness in the Writings of Witold Taszycki

The author of the article presents a brief description of the activities of Witold Taszycki related to language correctness and the culture of Polish language. These activities are included in the scholar’s several fields of work, such as: a) working on establishing and describing the principles of Polish spelling and punctuation, as well as some detailed aspects of these areas; b) participating in the Commission for Creating the Names of Places, and then directing the commission’s works; c) analysis of shaping the Polish literary language and language standard, as well as reconstructing the process of struggling of Polish with the influence of foreign languages in the course of separating the status of Polish as a language that is entirely functional. The results of such activities include spelling dictionaries which contain the descriptions of the principles of punctuation and spelling, statements related to names of places and areas, books on the culture of the Old Polish language, as well as many other texts. They constitute a lasting contribution of Witold Taszycki into shaping the culture of the word and the language identity of Polish people.
Jaki jest właściwie zakres dialektologii historycznej? (Uwagi z perspektywy dialektologa)

What Does Historical Dialectology Actually Include? (Remarks from the Perspective of a Dialectologist)

The article refers to the contemporary status of Polish dialects and, at the same time, it is a voice in the debate on the scope of historical dialectology. The reference point for the works of W. Taszycki and other, later historians of language, was (and still is) the heritage of K. Nitsch, while, for dialectologists, his texts only offer a historical and/or normative value (in case of revitalization activities) as an example of language used in villages about a hundred years ago. In the publications related to historical dialectology it is assumed that the status of local dialects described by Nitsch is still valid. Dynamic changes that take place in the Polish village require revising this view and, as a result, correcting the scope of historical dialectology which, from the modern perspective, includes the works that describe dialects from the first half of the 20th century.
"Suicídio?! E Eu com Isso?": Representações Sociais de Suicídio em Comentários de Usuários do Facebook
Authors: Lucas Lorena Schettino , Bonomo Mariana , Flauzino Thais Assis , Zamborlini Vanessa Valentim , Ferreira Bruna Amorim Matos
Published: May 2021

Nos últimos anos, o suicídio vem se configurando como assunto de grande interesse nas mídias sociais, sendo pauta de inúmeras reportagens e debates públicos. Neste estudo, objetivou-se apreender as representações sociais de suicídio entre usuários do Facebook por meio da análise dos comentários em notícias veiculadas por jornais do estado do Espírito Santo. Foram coletados 2.803 comentários relacionados a notícias de suicídio publicadas entre 2015 e 2018. Os dados foram analisados através da Classificação Hierárquica Descendente e da Análise Fatorial de Correspondência, por meio do software Alceste. Os resultados indicaram que o campo representacional de suicídio está organizado em três representações sociais: (i) o suicídio como questão religiosa, (ii) como fenômeno associado às novas gerações, e (iii) como ato egoísta, com reflexos negativos no funcionamento das cidades e na rotina da população. Discutem-se as representações sociais de suicídio no contexto da cibercultura a partir dos processos de ancoragem e de objetivação. Observou-se que o contexto digital funcionou como canal de expressão de afetos predominantemente negativos em relação ao tema por parte dos comentaristas. Espera-se contribuir para a ampliação do debate sobre o assunto, tendo em vista a necessidade de ressignificação de práticas que ainda o remetem ao lugar de tabu social.
Política e Conflito Psíquico: Uma Pergunta sobre o Desejo
Authors: Jordão Guilherme Pimentel , Duarte Mariana Teixeira
Published: May 2021

Neste artigo, será introduzido o debate acerca da condição do sujeito estruturalmente dividido enquanto ator político. Pensando a política pelo prisma da ação, encontramo-nos com a pergunta kantiana: "Que devo fazer?". Diante dela, o sujeito desejante se vê embaraçado, tanto mais quanto maior for sua liberdade para decidir. A tentativa kantiana de instituir uma Lei universal como princípio ético da ação desvia a orientação da política do caminho da liberdade e entrega o seu destino aos ditames do Supereu. As consequências desse desvio se verificam em diferentes sistemas políticos e ratificam a afirmação de Lacan, segundo a qual a pergunta pelo que fazer não pode ser feita senão por aquele cujo desejo que se apaga. Se a pergunta acerca do que fazer continua ressoando para os sujeitos enquanto agentes políticos, o modo como decidem exibe, no conflito, a marca imposta pelo seu desejo. A psicanálise, de Freud a Lacan, vem ao auxílio dessa investigação, no diálogo com a filosofia moderna e a ciência política. Resta a pergunta se, diante do conflito, que testemunha a divisão do sujeito, o desejo, poderia ser, ele mesmo, o fio condutor da ação.

Authors: Cometti Lélis Luziane Said , Hora Dinair Leal da
Published: May 2021

A presente resenha destina-se a apresentar a obra paradidática “Amazônias em tempos contemporâneos: entre diversidades e adversidades”, publicada em 2017 pela Editora Mórula e organizada por Jane Felipe Beltrão, antropóloga e historiadora, pesquisadora do Núcleo de Altos Estudos da Amazônia – NAEA/UFPA e do CNPq; e Paula Mendes Lacerda, cientista social e antropóloga da UERJ. O livro é uma coletânea composta por 16 capítulos e é resultado do projeto “Patrimônio, Diversidade Sociocultural, Direitos Humanos e Políticas Públicas na Amazônia Contemporânea”, aprovado na chamada pública MCTI/CNPq/MEC/Capes-Casadinho/PROCAD, coordenado por Jane Felipe Beltrão (PPGA/UFPA) e vice-coordenado por Antônio Carlos de Souza Lima (PPGAS/MN/UFRJ). A obra discute questões relativas à preservação do patrimônio cultural em contextos de enfrentamento, territórios tradicionais, paisagens, corpos e objetos que ganham importância nas negociações identitárias (étnica, racial, sexual e de gênero) e direitos à diferença, ao mesmo tempo em que as políticas públicas revelam dificuldades na gestão de uma sociedade multicultural no contexto da Região Amazônica. A metodologia utilizada pelos autores baseia-se em pesquisa bibliográfica realizada na resenhada que estudou coletividades e espaços amazônicos, sob um olhar descolonial. O estudo concluiu pela necessidade do conhecimento e do respeito aos povos indígenas e comunidades etnicamente diferenciados para a garantia de seus direitos.

Bioética e interdisciplinaridade: a relação entre educação e meio ambiente
Authors: Alves Marcos Alexandre
Published: May 2021

O presente artigo tem por objetivo examinar os fundamentos epistemológicos da Bioética e relacioná-los às temáticas do meio ambiente e da educação. A literatura revisada mostra que esses temas são interdisciplinares e, portanto, podem ser considerados subjacentes e norteadores de um processo efetivo de formação humana voltado para a promoção da autonomia e da liberdade. Em âmbito metodológico, utilizou-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica para desenvolver um estudo sistemático acerca da natureza e dos princípios da bioética e sua importância no campo educativo, da educação ambiental e formação do sujeito ecológico, da natureza e sociedade como espaço de cidadania e do desenvolvimento sustentável. Nesse sentido, defende-se uma educação direcionada à sustentabilidade e a ética do cuidado humanizado na relação com o Outro. O texto está organizado em três partes: inicialmente, aborda-se os aspectos históricos e conceituais da Bioética; na sequência, apresenta-se considerações a respeito da sustentabilidade ambiental; e, na parte final, discorre-se sobre aspectos éticos no campo da educação ambiental a partir das relações sociais e naturais do homem.

Authors: Santos Janaína Alves de Góis , Royer Marcia Regina
Published: May 2021

Os Deficientes Intelectuais (DI) apresentam alteração no desenvolvimento cognitivo, comportamento adaptativo e socioafetivo. A presente pesquisa objetiva abordar o uso de fotografias como estratégia pedagógica que desperta o interesse, favorece a memorização e facilita a compreensão de Ciências para DI. Este estudo de cunho qualitativo analisa imagens fotográficas registradas por alunos da Educação de Jovens e Adultos, de uma escola especializada na modalidade Educação Especial. Avaliou-se como a fotografia pode ser utilizada em sala de aula e quais aspectos cognitivos e socioculturais podem ser observados. Os resultados demonstraram a imagem fotográfica como uma opção viável que pode ser utilizada em diferentes disciplinas e que estimula a interação, a criatividade, autonomia e participação. Constatou-se que o aluno enquanto fotógrafo observa aspectos esquecidos ou não vistos, quando leitor demonstra sensações e visão ampliada da realidade e, por fim, como sujeito histórico vincula sua bagagem cultural, identidade e valores aos novos conhecimentos adquiridos.
Políticas para a educação especial inclusiva no Paraná e a COVID-19: ensino remoto emergencial
Authors: Mucio Ferreira Gesilaine , Ramos Januário Erika , Alves da Silva Moreira Jani
Published: May 2021

Este artigo objetiva analisar as políticas para a educação especial no contexto do ensino remoto emergencial, normatizado no estado do Paraná como prática pedagógica alternativa para a educação do público da educação especial (PAEE) matriculado nas classes comuns da educação básica regular pública do estado em tempos de COVID-19. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, documental e bibliográfica, ancorada na contextualização crítica e histórica da problemática a partir do processo de regulação política internacional, nacional e local. Os resultados abalizaram um alinhamento entre as políticas educacionais paranaenses, as políticas nacionais e as recomendações do Banco Mundial e da Unesco. Compreende-se o ensino remoto emergencial como prática pedagógica alternativa face à COVID-19. Todavia, para que esta prática não intensifiquem as desigualdades educacionais dos alunos PAEE inseridos nas escolas públicas paranaenses, é preciso alinhar os interesses e as ações do Estado, das escolas e das famílias, assim como condições objetivas para a sua realização.
