Authors: Mansur Fatin Zafirah , Mohammad Faizal Che Ku , Fazli N. A. , Atnaw S. M. , Sulaiman S. A.
Published: October 2020

In this work, a comparative analysis of the gasification process of sawdust (SW) and sawdust pellet (SWP) utilizing a downdraft gasifier was performed. The gasification was conducted in a research-scale fixed-bed gasifier applying air as an oxidizing agent. The comparison between the raw (sawdust, SW) and treated biomass (sawdust pellet, SWP) was investigated for the syngas composition and gasification performance at the fixed condition of gasification temperature at 750 °C and equivalence ratio of 0.25. The gasification performance was tabulated in the form of heating value of the syngas (HHVsyngas), gasification efficiency (ηGE) and carbon conversion efficiency (ηCCE). It was found out that SWP produced the highest H2 and the lowest CO2. Furthermore, SWP also present the better gasification performance than SW. SWP achieved the high HHVsyngas, ηGE, and ηCCE at 4.2152 MJ/Nm3, 24% and 37%, respectively.
A REVIEW OF BOILER OPERATIONAL RISKS IN EMPTY FRUIT BUNCH FIRED BIOPOWER PLANT
Authors: Alaw Fares Ahmed , Sulaiman Nurul Sa’aadah
Published: October 2020

Growing popularity of biomass power generation process is connected to its label of green and cheap renewable energy. As the second-largest producer of crude palm oil, Malaysia has abundance of biomass residues from palm oil industries and other renewable organic matters which can be converted to bio-chemicals to generate electricity. However, despite institutional arrangements, policy frameworks, funding mechanisms and incentives to support the growth of the biomass industry, there are several risks which may prone to reduce efficiency of biopower boiler especially empty fruit bunch as the fuels that cannot be ignored. Boiler is one of the primary equipment of power generation plants, in a significant role in converting biofuel to electricity. With increasing numbers of potentials of biomass as raw materials for renewable energy uses, new risks may be found. Yet there has been very little research into these risks and how to prevent them. Lack of understanding of modern risk identification methods, such as HAZOP, with the biopower industry is one of the reasons for the industry’s slow growth. An industry evolves through life cycle stages and at each stage presents risk factors such as overheating, oxygen corrosion and clinker. This paper identifies several key risks associated with EFB fired biopower boiler in Malaysia. The overview of risks not only provide a perspective from which an industry’s viability can be evaluated but also help the operators to better understand key risks and improve boiler capacity as well as plan their risk mitigation strategies more effectively.

Published: October 2020

The study focuses on investigating kapok fiber as an adsorbent for oily industrial wastewater. Kapok fiber, KF (Ceiba Pentandra) is a natural plant fiber that poses excellent hydrophobic-oleophilic characteristics, due to the presence of penetrable   hollow   lumen   structure   and   waxy   material on its surface. The objectives of this study are to investigate the morphology of raw and treated kapok fiber (KF) before and after adsorption of wastewater as well as to study the sorption capacity of KF (including raw KF, ethanol-treated KF and chloroform-treated KF) in wastewater. Hence, the morphology of raw KF and KF treated with oil are analysed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Besides, the sorption condition of different types of wastewater including emulsified wastewater, immiscible oil-and-liquid wastewater and non-oily wastewater on raw KF are studied in this experiment. From the study, the raw KF shows the best sorption capacity of oil (29.00g/g) compared to the ethanol-treated KF (18.22g/g) and Chloroform-treated KF (16.58g/g) as the treated KF has larger amount of cellulosic content (hydroxyl group) present on the wall of kapok, making it less oleophilic. On the other hand, raw KF has the lowest sorption capacity of water (0.59g/g) followed by ethanol-treated KF (3.05g/g) and chloroform-treated KF (3.20g/g) on non-oily wastewater. Kapok fiber shows great potential as oil sorbent on any type of oil owing to its excellent hydrophobicity-oleophilicity characteristic. In conclusion, the raw KF shows the best sorption capacity of oil compared to the ethanol-treated KF and chloroform-treated KF because the effectiveness is resulted from the hydrophobic waxy coating on the kapok surface. Besides that, the lower sorption capacity of water than oil is due to the incomplete removal of wax from the wall of kapok, making it a little hydrophilic (likes water) as compared to oleophilic (likes oil).

Authors: Al-amshawee Sajjad , Bin Mohd Yunus Mohd Yusri
Published: October 2020

There are 150,000 microalgae species. Scientists identified and classified 30,000 species. Only 10–15 species are utilised and studied for wastewater treatment, biogas upgrading, biomass production, and lipid content. LED can raise microalgae performance to the highest. Therefore, numerous empirical investigations have discussed for years about using various circumstances like light intensity, dark: light ratio, and wavelength. Though, studies have not discovered the ultimate LED for achieving maximum growth. Thus, this mini-review article shows the recent conducted studies on various microalgae species under LED impact to discover a range of optimal conditions. Besides, future perspective presents the next stage of research and development on using LED for microalgae growth.
Utilization of Classical Scaling Technique in Sustaining Fault Detection Performance in Process Monitoring
Authors: Mohd Yunus Mohd Yusri , Zhang Jie , Al-Amshawee Sajjad K
Published: October 2020

Multivariate Statistical Process Monitoring (MSPM) fundamentally adopts the conventional Principal Component Analysis (cPCA) as the main platform for data compression. The main challenge though, the association nature of most industrial process variables are highly non-linear. As a result, the risks of applying the conventional approach of MSPM within this context may include sluggish or failed in detection, misinterpretation of signals, incorrect fault diagnosis and also inflexible as well as insensitive to changing of operating modes. In addressing the issue, this paper introduces new sets of monitoring parameters i.e. Sm2, Sr2 and Sr3, which have been derived within the frameworks of Classical Scaling (CMDS) and Procusters Analysis (PA) methods. The overall fault detection performance that applied based on the Tennessee Eastman Process (TEP) cases show that the Sr3 can detect the faults particularly for abnormal events number 3, 9, 15 and 19 in higher rate compared to the cPCA-MSPM system. This proves that the new monitoring statistics work effectively in avoiding missed detection during monitoring which cannot be addressed effectively by the traditional monitoring system.

TECHNOLOGY SHARING THROUGH UNIVERSITY INDUSTRY COLLABORATION: INNOVATION IN MALAYSIAN MANUFACTURING LANDSCAPE
Authors: Raguphaty Darshana Kumari , Baharin Shamsuddin , Mohd Turan Faiz
Published: October 2020

Innovation has been the key pillar of success for economic growth especially for developing countries. Malaysia is one resorting to both universities and industries to collaborate in a more engaging and concentrated fashion to accelerate innovation growth especially in the manufacturing sector. Despite the high number of university industry collaborations, the return rate of investments is low. This suggest a mismatch between the demands of both the university and industry. On that grounds, it is important to address this research gap, for it will provide insights to help industries and universities understand how academic collaborations can be intensified to spur innovation. The aim of this paper is to establish Technology Sharing as a conduit in University Industry Collaboration to intensifying innovation within the Malaysian Manufacturing Landscape. The paper is based on findings of a quantitative approach through survey questionnaire to determine a strong relationship on Technology Sharing through University Industry Collaboration as a source of innovation in the manufacturing industry. A total of 120 companies within the manufacturing landscape were survey and analysed using paired sample T-test. The mean scores were translated into percentages to amplify the magnitude of knowledge improvement and product development with Technology Sharing in manufacturing against the Business expenditure on R&D (BERD). The findings reveal, Technology Sharing through University Industry Collaboration improves knowledge within the company significantly. This generation of new knowledge is a source of innovation in product development to enhance the product/process/technology of the manufacturing companies in Malaysia. The findings also show that with Technology Sharing, companies’ absorptive capacity of new product development is significant. Improvement of knowledge translates into product development and augments innovation. This further ascertains the relationship of Technology Sharing in intensifying University Industry Collaboration to the growth of innovation within the Malaysian Manufacturing landscape.

Authors: Azmi I.I. , Zaini S.N.A.M. , Abu M.Y.
Published: October 2020

This work deals with the palm oil plantation which is not utilizing the available data to be used as reference to measure the degree of abnormal observation. There are no assessment tools to quantify the degree of seriousness of abnormal observation. When a palm oil plantation is ignoring the optimization of the factors contributing to the problem, they might produce lots of waste. The objective of this work is to measure the degree of abnormality using Mahalanobis Taguchi System (MTS) and to diagnose the parameters that influence the system. MTS is a method used for identifying or to see the pattern in decision making. The main principle MTS is to choose a group of variables and achieve optimization of the factors that contributes to the problem by embodying with Mahalanobis Distance. From the results, the degree of abnormality was successfully measured using the MTS method. There are 5 sample blocks that belong in the abnormality group; PR16 B3, PR17 C5, PR15 A5, PR16 B5 and PR17 C4. The acquired result indicates that interrow weeding is the parameters that most influence the process flow in plantation. This variable contributes to 25% of the abnormal data. It can be concluded here is this parameter need to be diagnosed by increasing the dosage of interrow weeding so that the harvesting output performance can be improve.

Authors: Indrayani Diyan , Shahib Muhamad Nurhalim , Husin Farid
Published: October 2020

Prolactin is one of the important hormones for increasing the synthesis and secretion of breast milk. Katuk (Sauropus androgunus (L) Merr) leaf biscuits are standardized and practical processed food products that are substituted with katuk leaf extract and have met the requirements as additional food for breastfeeding mothers. In addition to nutritional content, katuk leaf biscuits also contain phytochemical compounds, namely steroids and alkaloids. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of katuk leaf biscuits on increasing serum prolactin levels of breastfeeding mothers. This research was conducted in the city of Bandung. The design used was a randomized controlled trial. The sample was 45 primiparous postpartum mothers who gave birth at the public health center for Obstetrics and Neonatal Basic Emergency Services (Puskesmas PONED) in Bandung City, consisting of 22 treatment groups and 23 control groups. Sampling is conducted by block randomization. Data were analyzed using the Independent T-test. The results showed that there was an effect of katuk leaf biscuits on increasing serum prolactin levels in breastfeeding mothers. It is suggested that katuk leaf biscuits be used as an alternative as an effort to increase breast milk production so that it can support the success of exclusive breastfeeding.

Authors: Astuti Nurul Huriah , Hastono Sutanto Priyo
Published: October 2020

The results of previous study found that teens that had a smoking habit were 14 times more likely to smoke cannabis than those who did not smoke. This study aims to determine the relationship between the frequency of smoking and cannabis abuse done through survival analysis. The research samples were 708 students of cannabis abusers who were previously preceded by smoking. The results of this study found that durability or length of time for abusing cannabis was mostly 1 – 4 years. The Wilcoxon test results concluded that there was a difference in survival to abusing cannabis among the frequency groups of smoking. Multivariate analysis also showed that the more number of cigarettes consumed, the greater the risk for abusing cannabis after being controlled by confounders. Conclusion of this study, the frequency of smoking affects the survival rate and the amount of risk to abusing cannabis.
Autobiografismo y sensorialidad en Fanny Buitrago
Authors: Muñoz Diana , Reyes Calderón Jaime Ricardo
Published: October 2020

En el presente artículo de reflexión se realiza un ejercicio de interpretación de la novelística de Fanny Buitrago partiendo de dos procesos caracterizadores de la producción escritural femenina, a saber, lo autobiográfico y la sensorialidad. Estos dos conceptos, además, obligan la comprensión de otros allí implicados de forma correlativa, como lo son la fantasía, la dialogicidad y la polifonía. Para el desarrollo de este análisis nos hemos servido principalmente de la obra La novela femenina contemporánea (1970-1985). Hacia una tipología de la narración en primera persona, de Biruté Ciplijauskaité (1994), a partir de la cual, tras enunciar sucintamente las posibles relaciones autobiográficas de la autora que nos interesa, se propone un recorrido por la sensorialidad patente en los libros Los Pañamanes y Señora de la Miel, corpus de nuestra interpretación.
Nexo ético-político del concepto de Justicia en Aristóteles. Una propuesta en la virtud para el bienestar social
Authors: Valencia Marin Estiven
Published: October 2020

Adentrarse en el pensamiento político de la Grecia clásica es retornar a las acepciones éticas proferidas por los filósofos de ese momento, como, en este caso, de Platón y de su discípulo Aristóteles, cuyos intereses por la comprensión racional de la conducta humana no eran más que una diáfana preocupación por la consecución del bienestar de los individuos al interior de las ciudades griegas, donde se consideraba de gran importancia la formación de ideas, instituciones y asociaciones. En efecto, los vínculos sociales y la configuración de actitudes que decantan en el objetivo del bienestar social implican una atención especial al concepto de ética-política, en tanto que la incorporación de acciones regidas por la razón determina las relaciones entre los individuos de una misma nación. Teniendo esto en cuenta, en el presente artículo se expone la acepción aristotélica de justicia, con el objetivo de precisar la importancia de dicha virtud en el nexo ético-político de la Grecia clásica, periodo al que asistió el mismo Aristóteles.

On the Origin of Gerund and Gerundive in Latin: A New Reassessment
Authors: Garnier Romain
Published: October 2020

This short paper addresses a very vexed issue, to which a huge literature has been dedicated so far: the origin of the so-called gerunds and gerundives in Latin. Any previous attempt has proved un- conclusive, mainly because of the proliferation of ad hoc rules assumed to account for the nd-forms and even more because of the plethora of solutions. Instead of assuming another etymon for the sake of antago- nism, this paper intends to reassess the whole issue within Latin itself: as shown by non-standard syntacti- cal features of Plautinian and Late Latin, there is a morphological relationship between the present parti- ciple and the ndō-gerund, used to express simultaneity. Whereas the previous scholarship has taken for granted the assumption that thematic verbs used to have a *-odno- suffix (cf. OLat. -und-), which led to tautological reconstructions totally unparalleled outside Italic, I would tentatively explain the unexpected o-grade of such forms by a crossing with the old o-grade participles (cf. OLat. *uoluns ‘willing’ reflected by uoluntās). Such an approach vindicates the ancient theory according to which -andus reflects *-ātan-ó- (< PIE *-eh2-t>mṇn-ó-), provided one assumes that a reanalysis of *-ātan-ó- was made as a “suffix” *-tanos following the thematic vowel of the first conjugation, which produced *fer-e-tnó- ‘ferendus’ from thematic *fer-e- ‘to bear’.
Libertae isdem coniugi T. Licinius Il problema della fossilizzazione del pronome idem1
Authors: Paulus Nóra
Published: October 2020

We know about a significant number of inscriptions – the major part of them were found in Rome - in which the pronoun idem, the form of the nominative masculine, stands in the place of another grammatical gender or case of the same word (usually a dative), or in the place of the adverb item. In the edited epigraphic corpora, this form is usually interpreted as adverbial and emendated for item. However, in similar context (as for example in the title), we can often see isdem too, the archaic form of the nominative masculine, which cannot be explained on the base of the phonology as derivated from item. In the 19th century, Friedrich Ritschl thought that these forms substituted in reality eidem (dative singular of idem), and explained the change based on phonology (eidem to idem), and then on analogy (idem to isdem). An explanation like this imply the fossilisation of the pronoun, since the variants of the nominative masculine occure in the place of another inflected form of the word, specifically in the dative. In 1907, E. H. Sturtevant published an article (Some Unfamiliar Uses of Idem and Isdem in Latin Inscriptions) in which he intended to refute Ritschl’s claim and to give another interesting interpretation. In his opinion, the fenomenon has different origins in Ostia and in Rome. In his theory, the occurrences of the form idem in a position, which is different from the nominative masculine of the pronoun, are dialectic variants of item if they are from Ostia; though the same forms registrated in Rome are interpreted as consciously used nominatives. In consequence, the fossilisation of the word would be a non-existent fenomenon. The aim of this study is to examine critically Sturtevant’s argumentation concerning the fossilisation of the pronoun idem and its eventual fusion with the adverb item.
Le datif et le génitif prépositionnels dans le latin mérovingien à travers l’étude des chartes des 7ème et 8ème siècles
Authors: Schaller Gaëtan
Published: October 2020

This paper intends to investigate the development of the periphrastic form for the dative and genitive in the Merovingian charters. The periphrastic forms are reserved in Classical Latin to some special uses: the indirect object after a verb that has the prefix ad- and the partitive function of the genitive they replace. These forms extend to new uses in the Late Latin and are the new majoritarian form for the indirect object, but remain a minoritarian variant for the functions of the classical genitive. The genitival functions adapt to new forms of expression: the periphrastic form and a fixed position in the sentence immediately after the noun, its complete. This paper tries to show and to corroborate by means of statistics and chosen examples of the 7th and 8th centuries the development of these forms, which were still rare in the classical period.
I prefissi verbali dal latino classico all'italiano: problemi di classificazione su base etimologica Il prefisso ad-
Authors: Jekl Ágnes
Published: October 2020

I examine verbal prefixation analyzing the functional changes of the Latin ad- prefix from Classical Latin to Italian. In order to conduct the research properly I needed to separate the verbs in ety- mological groups directly derived from Latin (Classical, Vulgar or Late Latin) from the verbs created in the Romance period and the Latin loan verbs. The different origin of the verbs influences our expectation regarding the analyzability of a given verb (the recognisability of the prefix as an independent element and its semantic value - which can be different from that of its Latin origin). This division is not as clear cut as it seems to be, because, in the case of the Italian, phonetic evidence in favour of one group or another is often missing. I present the possible solutions I found for the grouping problems using semantic evidence, comparison with the other Romance languages, dating of the given verb, etc. Furthermore, I highlight the general and specific factors which determine the assignment of a certain verb to a certain group in order to obtain a precise but still flexible set of verbal categories.
Wortbildung und Textsorte Verbalabstrakta in der spät(er)en Latinität
Authors: Panagl Oswald
Published: October 2020

The paper deals with the derivational category of ‘action nouns’ both as a subject of general linguistics and as a problem of Indo-European morphology (primarily in the diachrony of Latin but also from the perspective of comparative philology). First of all, I elucidate the concepts used in the analysis of verbal abstracts – above all their well renowned definition by Walter Porzig as “Namen für Satzinhalte”. Subsequently, I interpret some passages occurring in comedies of Plautus and epigraphic documents of Old Latin illustrating the diachronic developments by accounting for some construction patterns under consideration of their ‘suprasyntactic’ aspects. In the paragraphs following, I discuss a variety of IE actional types (including the genesis of infinitives), also taking care of some significant relics of verbal constructions in Ancient Greek.

The implication scale of increasing ‘concretization’, which I proposed and utilized in my studies so far, exhibits a development from action via the steps: result, instrument, location leading to (collective) agents. This thesis may also be corroborated by a number of Latin testimonies.

According to my concept of correlation between frequency of nomina actionis and nomina acti on the one hand and the corresponding text type on the other, I present a number of examples taken from the authors Vitruvius, Frontinus, Petronius, Juvenalis, Justinus and Dares Phrygius. I describe and interpret them by means of qualitative criteria and quantitative parameters such as occurrence, semantic profile and competition in relation to alternative derivational types that employ cognate stems and affixes.
Zur Herkunft von leuga*
Authors: Simon Zsolt
Published: October 2020

According to the communis opinio, Lat. leuga was a Gaulish loanword, survived in the Romance languages and was borrowed into Old English. However, this scenario faces three unsolved problems: the non–Celtic diphthong –eu–, the Proto–Romance form *legua and the fact that the Old English word cannot continue the Latin form on phonological grounds. This paper argues that all these problems can regularly be solved by the reconstructed West Germanic and Gothic cognates of the Old English word borrowed into Gaulish and early Romance dialects, respectively.
Introducción del discurso directo en el latín tardío
Authors: Mikulová Jana
Published: October 2020

This paper examines verbs of speech used for introducing direct speech in Late Latin and changes which occurred from Classical to Late Latin. It focuses on four verbal forms which were previously identified as the most frequent in selected Late Latin texts, namely inquit, ait, dicens, and dixit. Their properties and patterns of use are examined and their development into quotative markers are considered. It is shown that while in Classical Latin inquit prevails, in Late Latin the range of verbal forms is wider and includes verbal forms that in Classical texts almost never appeared or had different functions than introducing direct speech. It is argued that despite some signs of grammaticalization, none of the examined forms has become a fully developed quotative marker. Thus, concerning the means for introducing direct speech, variability and heterogeneity are the basic characteristics of Late Latin texts.
Mutamenti pragmatici dall’alto e dal basso in latino tardo*
Authors: Molinelli Piera
Published: October 2020

This study starts from Labov’s proposal that distinguishes linguistic changes from above and from below based on the awareness that speakers have of a change. The basic question of this work is whether these two levels are recognizable in some changes – essentially pragmatic – in late Latin. The development of politeness forms is proposed as a change from above, while the development of minimizers, which sometimes results in terms of negation, as a change from below. In fact, using titles and address forms, related to formality and politeness, requires the speaker/writer be strongly aware of the social characteristics of his own and the interlocutor. Documents of the first centuries as letters by the Popes and the Christian hierarchies show signs of a socio-cultural change that results in new definitions of the self and, consequently, in the use of new address forms. On the contrary, everyday linguistic use, from below, shows how some recurring pragmatic needs determine developments that can affect different levels of the system in several ways. We will exemplify these changes from below with the expressions of small quantities used as minimizers (micam, guttam), showing how these forms are common in late Latin.
Some Remarks on the Latin Curse Tablets from Pannonia1
Authors: Barta Andrea
Published: October 2020

This paper gives a short review of the research from recent years on texts of Latin curse tablets from Pannonia. In the last decade, four new lead tablets of quite long and well-readable texts came to light in well documented archeaological context in Pannonia. On one hand, these findings have not only doubled the small corpus, but they presented new data from both the field of magic and linguistics. On the other, in connection with the examination of the new pieces, the reconsideration of earlier ones could not be delayed any longer.

Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Objectives: to know the nurses’ perception on violence against children by their companion in pediatric ward; describe the nurses’ actions in this situation; analyze these actions in light of government policies; and know the organization and communication of the multidisciplinary team to face this phenomenon. Method: a descriptive qualitative research conducted through semi-structured interviews with nurses. Thematic analysis identified three categories: “A perception of violence”; “Actions and interventions performed by nurses”; and “Multidisciplinary team organization and communication”. Results: nurses recognize the types of violence, but attaches greater severity to physical violence. The reported causes were children with difficult temperaments, transgenerational violence and hospitalization. The actions were dialogue, companion-child separation, registry and notification to the Guardianship Council. Poor communication from the multidisciplinary team and medical-centric organization have been reported.

Published: October 2020

The inter-cities mobility network is of great importance in understanding outbreaks, especially in Brazil, a continental-dimension country. We adopt the data from the Brazilian Ministry of Health and the terrestrial flow of people between cities from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics database in two scales: cities from Brazil, without the North region, and from the São Paulo State. Grounded on the complex networks approach, and considering that the mobility network serves as a proxy for the SARS-CoV-2 spreading, the nodes and edges represent cities and flows, respectively. Network centrality measures such as strength and degree are ranked and compared to the list of cities, ordered according to the day that they confirmed the first case of COVID-19. The strength measure captures the cities with a higher vulnerability of receiving new cases. Besides, it follows the interiorization process of SARS-CoV-2 in the São Paulo State when the network flows are above specific thresholds. Some countryside cities such as Feira de Santana (Bahia State), Ribeirão Preto (São Paulo State), and Caruaru (Pernambuco State) have strength comparable to states’ capitals. Our analysis offers additional tools for understanding and decision support to inter-cities mobility interventions regarding the SARS-CoV-2 and other epidemics.

Authors: MINUZZI EVELIZE DORNELES , COUTINHO RENATO XAVIER
Published: October 2020

RESUMO: O Ensino Médio Integrado se constitui como uma política educacional voltada para a integração do ensino médio com a educação profissional, conforme explicita o Decreto nº 5.154/04, sendo responsabilidade prioritária da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica, sobretudo, dos Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia (IFs), criados a partir da Lei nº 11.892/2008. No entanto, tem-se percebido que o Ensino Médio Integrado ainda é um desafio que está se consolidando tanto em aspectos teóricos quanto práticos. Isso tem gerado algumas reformulações nas políticas educacionais e produziu um aumento nas pesquisas científicas sobre Ensino Médio Integrado. Nesse sentido, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar a produção de conhecimento sobre o Ensino Médio Integrado nos IFs, no período compreendido entre janeiro de 2008 a março de 2019. Para tanto, elegeu-se a Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações para buscar os dados, tomando como base a cienciometria para analisá-los. Constituem o corpus de análise 159 produções acadêmicas, compostas por dissertações e teses. Conclui-se que, a produção de conhecimento sobre Ensino Médio Integrado, dos IFs, centra-se na pesquisa básica e empírica, com abordagem qualitativa, e sua principal temática recorre às experiências didático-pedagógicas disciplinares.
SOCIOEDUCAÇÃO: ENTRE A SANÇÃO E A PROTEÇÃO
Authors: BONATTO VANESSA PETERMANN , FONSECA DÉBORA CRISTINA
Published: October 2020

RESUMO: O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre o sentido da socioeducação e suas contradições na prática do orientador de medidas socioeducativas. Para tanto, parte-se de dados de uma pesquisa qualitativa, que utiliza entrevistas como coleta de dados e a compreensão do papel dos socioeducadores nos Centros de Referência Especializados em Assistência Social (CREAS) de cinco municípios do interior do estado de São Paulo. Evidencia-se, por meio de uma análise crítica, contradições entre o socioeducativo e o punitivo. Considerando a complexidade da prática, entende-se que essa questão se relaciona com um contexto sócio-histórico vigente marcado pela lógica da individualização dos problemas sociais, herança da doutrina da situação irregular, corroborando as indicações da literatura da área. Desta forma, apesar dos avanços no sentido de garantia de direitos, a socioeducação, na perspectiva dos participantes da pesquisa, no cotidiano dos serviços, mostra-se dúbia entre a proteção e a punição. Assim, a partir dos resultados da pesquisa, é possível afirmar que a socioeducação se efetiva na contradição decorrente de sua pouca precisão conceitual, bem como das dificuldades de execução no cotidiano dos serviços. De tal maneira, grande parte das ações socioeducativas acabam sendo mais punitivas. A partir desta percepção, faz-se necessário aperfeiçoamento das políticas públicas, desenvolvimento e participação coletiva na construção e aplicação de uma proposta de socioeducação.
DA “PEDAGOGIA DO NÃO” E DO “COGITO” DO SONHADOR, EM GASTON BACHELARD: PENSANDO UMA EDUCAÇÃO PARA A IMAGINAÇÃO
Authors: ARAÚJO ALBERTO FILIPE , ARAÚJO JOAQUIM MACHADO DE , CHAVES IDUINA MONT’ALVERNE
Published: October 2020

RESUMO: Neste artigo, fundamentamos uma educação para a imaginação a partir da perspectiva de Gaston Bachelard, desenvolvida em torno da “Pedagogia do Não” e do “cogito” do sonhador, em oposição ao racionalismo dogmático e ao empirismo ingénuo, integrando a imaginação criadora através da qual o sujeito se faz imaginativo. Caracterizamos, assim, a “Pedagogia do Não” como uma pedagogia capaz de conduzir o diálogo e estabelecer equilíbrio entre pensamento e imaginação e atribui-lhe relevante papel na conjugação da objetividade científica e da imaginação poética, para, por fim, discutir a possibilidade de pensar uma educação para a imaginação na base do “cogito” do sonhador. Destacando os poderes e as funções da imaginação, quando recorrem às figuras de retórica, como a antítese, a hipérbole, a antífrase e o eufemismo, e ao jogo de imagens que esse uso comporta, realçamos a função eufemizante da imaginação e a sua capacidade de inovação semântica, susceptível de conduzir à “remitologização” do mundo, cumprindo um “novo espírito pedagógico” que, coerentemente com o “novo espírito científico”, conjugue a objetividade científica e a imaginação poética.

Resumo: Este estudo refere-se a uma pesquisa bibliográfica que teve como objetivo identificar os direcionamentos das pesquisas em nível de mestrado e doutorado no campo da formação de professores de física, disponíveis na Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações, no período de 2012 a 2017. O corpus de análise se constituiu dos resumos, com busca realizada a partir das palavras-chave ensino de física e formação de professores, tendo como aporte teórico a análise do discurso bakhtiniana. Nossos resultados indicam que as pesquisas vinculadas à formação do professor de física priorizam investigações na formação inicial. No campo da formação continuada mostram-se, prioritariamente, como iniciativas pontuais. Notamos que os pesquisadores se dirigirem ao interlocutor professor a partir de falas autoritárias e prescritivas, indicando como deve ser feito o seu trabalho. Todavia, as parcerias de trabalho de reflexão das possibilidades de superação dos desafios locais permanecem tímidas.
INTRA AND INTER-RATER RELIABILITY IN DYNAMIC VALGUS IN SOCCER PLAYERS
Authors: Ribeiro Diego Brenner , Rodrigues Gustavo de Mello , Bertoncello Dernival
Published: October 2020

ABSTRACT Introduction: The two-dimensional (2D) methods of dynamic assessment of knee valgus are popular because of their low cost and the fact that they are easy to implement. It is believed that dynamic valgus of the knee is one of the main disorders responsible for non-contact lesions of the anterior cruciate ligament. There are two categories of reliability with regard to data collectors: inter-rater (reliability among multiple data collectors) and intra-rater (reliability of a single data collector). Objectives: To assess intra and inter-rater reliability during the step-down test in professional soccer athletes, using initial and final angles for each test repetition. Methods: The sample consisted of 29 professional soccer players. All study participants were considered by club physiotherapists to be free of any musculoskeletal injury and were performing daily training tasks. Two male evaluators participated in the study. Results: For each data group, mean and standard deviation were determined. The intra- and inter-rater reliability of all data was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), with a confidence interval of 95% and alpha of p ≤ 0.05. Rater 1 was classified in the first intra-rater stage of the analysis for heel touch, with good to excellent reliability. For the inter-rater analysis, both for heel touch and for greater valgus angle, there was excellent reliability among the raters. Conclusion: It was concluded that there is high inter-rater and intra-rater reliability through two-dimensional analysis using the Step Down Test in professional soccer athletes. Level of evidence II; Development of diagnostic criteria in consecutive patients (with a “gold” reference standard applied).

Abstract The Sete Cidades National Park is located in the Brazilian municipalities of Piracuruca and Brasileira, Piauí state, in a transitional zone between the Caatinga and Cerrado biomes. Studies on its herpetofauna were limited to anuran distribution notes and a snake checklist. Thus, here we present an unpublished species list of anurans from Sete Cidades National Park, Piauí state, northeastern Brazil. We recorded one of the two highest species richness for all northeastern National Parks, and also increased the geographic distribution of one species in the state of Piauí. Most species observed are common of both Caatinga and Cerrado biomes or have wide distribution in Brazil. The anuran assemblage of Sete Cidades National Park is more similar to those registered at the Delta do Parnaíba Environmental Protection Area, Ceará, Piauí and Maranhão states, and Ubajara National Park, Ceará state. These results increase our knowledge on anuran diversity in northeastern Brazil, providing basic information for management and conservation actions of an important Brazilian National Park.
Norbert Wiener: história, ética e teoria
Authors: Chaves Viviane Hengler Corrêa , Bernardo Cristiane Hengler Corrêa
Published: October 2020

RESUMO Este artigo objetivou, por meio da análise histórica, relacionar o pensamento de Norbert Wiener e seu modo de compreender a ciência e a ética com o desenvolvimento da cibernética. Integra o escopo desta pesquisa entender a lógica matemática que levou o pesquisador a conceber sua teoria cibernética; relacionar sua abrangência, bem como a problemática, social e científica, que a cibernética impõe ao mundo contemporâneo. O locus temporal desta pesquisa delimita-se, historicamente, entre 1894 e 1964, anos relativos ao nascimento e morte do matemático, respectivamente. Busca-se construir uma história não se atendo somente às obras e documentos de Wiener, os fatos descritos, mas também compreender as relações que se deram por meio dos fatos, suas problematizações e seu contexto histórico. Para tanto, utilizou-se a pesquisa bibliográfica e documental baseada nas obras e documentos do matemático que estão disponíveis no MIT. Em síntese, as considerações finais apontam que a cibernética tem como característica fundamental a interdisciplinaridade, decorrente da forma como ele enxergava a ciência, da sua formação e de suas relações profissionais e pessoais. Desse modo, considera-se que a trajetória profissional e pessoal de Wiener foi fundamental para o desenvolvimento da sua Teoria Cibernética.
Rodas de conversa e pesquisa: reflexões de uma abordagem etnográfica
Authors: Pinheiro Leandro Rogério
Published: October 2020

Resumo O artigo discute a produção de rodas de conversa como técnica em pesquisa qualitativa na área de educação, problematizando-a desde incursões de inspiração etnográfica em contextos de periferia urbana. Para efeito da argumentação proposta, toma-se a interlocução construída com moradoras idosas de um bairro de Porto Alegre/RS, entre os anos de 2014 e 2016, mediante a realização de encontros em seus locais de residência. Consideraram-se as contribuições de Georg Simmel e Michel de Certeau para reflexões sobre a produção da “conversa sociável” e acerca das “artes de dizer” populares, respectivamente, propondo uma interpretação da dinâmica da conversação e da forma da narração. Neste sentido, no percurso metodológico narrado, destaca-se a defluência cultural da “conversa” e, para o caso em análise, aventa-se a associação da dinâmica das rodas coproduzidas à atuação daquelas mulheres no âmbito comunitário e consonante a uma estética relacional em prol dos laços de reciprocidade em seu cotidiano.

Published: October 2020

Resumo Dada a importância dos caracteres anatômicos para delimitação de subgrupos de Rubiaceae, a dificuldade na identificação de determinados táxons, bem como aa escassez de trabalhos sobre o grupo no semiárido, este trabalho objetivou caracterizar a anatomia das folhas de 15 espécies pertencentes aos gêneros Borreria (2), Cordiera (1), Eumachia (1), Hexasepalum (4), Mitracarpus (4), Richardia (1), Staelia (1) e Tocoyena (1) coletados na APA Serra Branca/Raso da Catarina (Jeremoabo-BA, Brasil), e destacar os elementos úteis para subsidiar a taxonomia do grupo. Os resultados mostraram que houve variação quanto ao formato e contorno das células epidérmicas, presença, ausência e tipos de tricomas, tipo de mesofilo, posição e tipo de estômato, formato das células subsidiárias, organização do sistema vascular, ocorrência de células coletoras e estômatos geminados. Foi observado que as características anatômicas, quando utilizadas em conjunto, servem como uma boa ferramenta taxonômica na separação de gêneros e espécies de Rubiaceae.
