A festa de São João de Caruaru é um evento grandioso financeiramente e rico em identidade cultural no agreste pernambucano. Valorizada como um produto cultural e turístico, movimenta economicamente toda a região, atraindo interesses: das empresas, do governo, da mídia e, principalmente, da população participante, aqui identificada como consumidores. Esse artigo buscou detectar como reagem os consumidores de uma festa popular por meio das mídias sociais a partir do seu anúncio na intenção de entender o comportamento de consumo e como se constrói o relacionamento com a festa nas mídias sociais. Assim nos apropriamos do Marketing Experiencial de Schmitt para realizar uma pesquisa qualitativa indutiva por meio da análise temática relacionada aos seus módulos experienciais. Os dados qualitativos, em forma de comentários, foram coletados, analisados e relatados, mas a lógica subjacente foi quantitativa. Como principal achado, podemos observar correlações importantes entre o sentir e agir, entre o sentimento e os sentidos e ainda em qual estímulo o relacionamento entre os consumidores e a festa foi mais significativo.

Authors: Biyiklioglu Mumin , Bayrak Kubra Gurcan , Ayas Erhan , Baksan Bedri , Gokce Hasan , Agaogullari Duygu , Ovecoglu Mustafa Lutfi
Published: December 2024

WNbMoVAlxCry RHEA series are consolidated via spark plasma sintering with using mechanically alloyed powders. Mechanical alloying of W NbMoVAlCr alloy was conducted for up to 8 hours at 2-hour intervals to determine the ideal alloying time. Mechanical alloying resulted in the formation of a single phase, with the disappearance of elemental peaks and flattening of peaks. XRD peaks revealed a body-centred cubic and Laves phases. SEM and point EDS results showed homogeneous distribution of elements. Mechanical alloying had a positive effect up to 6 hours, with the highest hardness value of 12.57 GPa. The highest compressive strength at room temperature was 1397 MPa, while the lowest strength at 900°C was 172 MPa. Al and Cr had no clear effect on hardness and compression strength, with no clear trend on improvement or reduction in mechanical properties.

Authors: Faqiri Yusuf , Hassel Thomas
Published: December 2024

The development of tailored alloys is an important aspect for enhancing efficiency across diverse applications in mechanical engineering. The use of computer-aided modelling offers an opportunity to enable a more efficient and targeted material development. In the present work, new iron-based alloys with specific properties were developed using the CALPHAD method. The alloy design developing process was carried out by using the simulation software JMatPro® and the data evaluation software EDA®. Using a full factorial plan, various alloys were modelled on the basis of the elements iron, nickel, vanadium, carbon, niobium and chromium. Afterwards, the alloys were narrowed down with regard to the criteria of carbide phase content, formability, and corrosion resistance. Subsequently, two final alloys were chosen based on their properties. Afterwards the selected final alloys were produced by mechanically blending different powder alloys and elements. These alloys were welded onto unalloyed steel using Plasma Transferred Arc welding and were characterised by using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, hardness measurements, spark spectrometry and metallography. Subsequently, a verification of the welded samples regarding to chemical composition, phases, and corrosion resistance was carried out. The investigations showed that it was possible to simulate alloys with specific properties using computer-based software, which corresponded with the experimental studies.

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the mechanical properties and microstructure of 316L stainless steel fabricated using laser powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) additive manufacturing with different layer thick nesses and orientations. Impact toughness is evaluated under various conditions as well as bending fatigue performance to understand the influence of layer thickness and surface quality on fatigue lim its. Microstructural analysis using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provides insights into grain structure. Key findings include the superior impact toughness of the vertical orientation, particularly notable in specimens with a layer thickness of 40 µm. Bending fatigue tests revealed distinctive behav ior influenced by layer thickness and surface quality, with the 80 µm thickness and vertical orientation demonstrating lower fatigue limits. These insights contribute to optimizing manufacturing processes and enhancing material suitability for diverse applications.
Costoclavicular block as a diaphragm-sparing nerve block for shoulder surgery: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Lee Youngin , Bang Seunguk , Chung Jihyun , Chae Min Suk , Shin Jungwon
Published: December 2024

Background: Distal nerve block approaches have been explored to reduce hemidiaphragmatic paresis (HDP) more effectively than interscalene block (ISB). However, these approaches are associated with a high incidence of HDP. The costoclavicular block (CCB) provides effective analgesia while reducing HDP. Here, we hypothesized that CCB would decrease the incidence of HDP compared to ISB while still providing effective pain relief after surgery.Methods: Seventy patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were randomly allocated to receive either ultrasound-guided CCB (n = 35) or ISB (n = 35). Each group received 0.2% ropivacaine (20 ml CCB, 10 ml ISB). The primary outcome was the incidence of HDP, as measured using M-mode ultrasound. Diaphragmatic excursion, pulmonary function test results, opioid consumption, and pain scores were evaluated.Results: Sixty-six patients were included. CCB group had a significantly lower incidence of HDP than those in the ISB group (5.9% vs. 84.4%, P < 0.001). The diaphragmatic excursion reduction was significantly more in the ISB (3.87 cm) group than in the CCB (0.25 cm) group (P < 0.001). The decrease in forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume in 1 s from baseline was significantly greater in the ISB. There was no significant difference in opioid consumption between the two groups during the entire postoperative period.Conclusions: Compared with ISB, CCB significantly reduced the incidence of HDP while maintaining effective analgesia and causing less pulmonary function impairment. CCB may be a viable option for diaphragmatic-sparing analgesia after shoulder surgery.
The adoption of virtual reality technologies for training healthcare professionals
Authors: Malungana Lario , Chimbo Bester
Published: December 2024

Background: The current digital transformation has resulted in a greater emphasis on the training of healthcare professionals. Therefore, adoption of virtual and augmented reality technologies in South African hospitals is hindered by the lack of service delivery by healthcare professionals.Aim: The study aims to examine the applications of virtual and augmented reality in healthcare training for application, efficacy for healthcare professionals.Setting: South African hospitals.Methods: This study presents a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA framework that evaluates the efficacy of virtual and augmented reality training in enhancing the abilities of healthcare professionals. A search was performed via the Scopus and Google Scholar databases, covering the period from 2019 to 2024.Results: Initial studies suggest that the healthcare sector has a limited understanding of the concepts of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Furthermore, virtual and augmented reality technologies employ more sophisticated techniques than physical training for comprehension by creating a simulated environment.Conclusion: The research article indicates that training through patient simulation is an effective method for educating healthcare professionals prior to healthcare professionals’ clinical practice. Healthcare professionals are allowed to cultivate vital abilities and engage in practice sessions without the potential of inflicting harm on actual patients. The application of human practice can be achieved in either a clinical setting or a simulation laboratory.Contribution: This study significantly contributes to the healthcare sector by examining the adoption of virtual and augmented reality.
Compliance with radiation protection among radiographers in Eswatini public health facilities
Authors: Shungube Amelia , Khoza Thandokuhle E.
Published: December 2024

Background: The consequence of non-compliance with patient radiation safety standards increases unnecessary radiation exposure with high chances of harmful biological effects. Radiographers are trained to prevent these harmful effects by enforcing radiation protection, which is achieved through proper techniques, equipment, shielding materials and beam collimation.Aim: The study aimed to explore compliance with radiation protection by radiographers in Eswatini public health facilities (PHFs).Setting: Eswatini PHFs with radiography departments (RDs) representing all four regions in the country.Methods: The study applied a qualitative exploratory design. Purposive sampling was used to select participants. In-depth face-to-face interviews were conducted with radiographers (who have at least 2 years of work experience) until data saturation was achieved with the 13th participant. Data were analysed thematically.Results: A total of three themes were identified from the data analysis, namely participants’ attitudes towards compliance with radiation safety standards; participants’ subjective norms; and perceived behavioural control factors.Conclusion: The study demonstrated radiographers’ awareness and knowledge of patient radiation safety standards. However, compliance with the standards remained a personal decision as radiographers are not obliged to comply. Moreover, defective lead protective devices, the unavailability of the full scope of lead protective designs, the inappropriate design of the RD building and unauthorised staff making unjustified X-ray requests contributed to non-compliance.Contribution: The study highlighted a gap in compliance with patient radiation safety standards that requires attention from Eswatini’s Ministry of Health (MOH).

Published: December 2024

We introduce and study
shift-similar
groups

G \le \operatorname{Sym}(\mathbb{N})

, which play an analogous role in the world of Houghton groups that self-similar groups play in the world of Thompson groups. We also introduce Houghton-like groups

H_{n}(G)

arising from shift-similar groups

G

, which are an analog of Röver–Nekrashevych groups from the world of Thompson groups. We prove a variety of results about shift-similar groups and these Houghton-like groups, including results about finite generation and amenability. One prominent result is that every finitely generated group embeds as a subgroup of a finitely generated shift-similar group, in contrast to self-similar groups, where this is not the case. This establishes in particular that there exist uncountably many isomorphism classes of finitely generated shift-similar groups, again in contrast to the self-similar situation.
Dynamics of skew-products tangent to the identity
Authors: Astorg Matthieu , Boc Thaler Luka
Published: December 2024

We study the local dynamics of generic skew-products tangent to the identity, i.e. maps of the form

P(z,w)=(p(z), q(z,w))

with

\mathrm{d}P_{0}=\textup{Id}

. More precisely, we focus on maps with non-degenerate second differential at the origin; such maps have local normal form

P(z,w)=(z-z^{2}+O(z^{3}),w+w^{2}+bz^{2}+O(\|(z,w)\|^{3}))

. We prove the existence of parabolic domains, and prove that inside these parabolic domains the orbits converge non-tangentially if and only if

b \in ({1}/{4},+\infty)

. Furthermore, we prove the existence of a type of parabolic implosion, in which the renormalization limits are different from previously known cases. This has a number of consequences: under a diophantine condition on coefficients of

P

, we prove the existence of wandering domains with rank 1 limit maps. We also give explicit examples of quadratic skew-products with countably many grand orbits of wandering domains, and we give an explicit example of a skew-product map with a Fatou component exhibiting historic behaviour. Finally, we construct various topological invariants, which allow us to answer a question of Abate.
Glosa do biografii Anny Wyczółkowskiej
Authors: Kiper Daniel
Published: December 2024

This article seeks to enhance the biographical portrait of Anna Wyczółkowska (1853–1929), a pioneer of experimental psychological research, a social activist and publicist, and an outstanding figure in the intellectual life of Polish emigrants in the United States. Wyczółkowska was one of the first women to obtain a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Zurich (1893). She then developed her career in the United States, collaborating with, among others, John Watson, the founder of behaviorism. Her biography reflects the experiences of the generation of women from Central and Eastern Europe at the turn of the 20th c. However, Wyczółkowska did not gain wider recognition and was completely forgotten after her death. This text considers the trajectory of her scientific career and the development of her worldview through interactions with the scientific authorities of her era, as well as with writers, artists, and social activists both in Poland and abroad. The article highlights an important yet lesser-known aspect of her activity – her editorial contributions. Source analysis has revealed that Wyczółkowska’s journalistic style significantly enriches certain biographical threads, outlines the social dimension of her scientific achievements, and illuminates the cultural context of her life experiences

Obraz matky v zrkadle korešpondencie Judity Balassovej v 2. polovici 17. storočia
Authors: Danková Sabina
Published: December 2024

The early modern society, usually considered to be patriarchal, determined precise roles for women, who were defined by requirements based mainly on their position in the private sphere. In their family, they assumed the roles of daughters, sisters, mothers, wives, widows, grandmothers, etc. This paper focuses on the role of the mother in early modern society by analysing the correspondence of the Koháry family. For this purpose, the epistolar communication between Judith Balassa (c. 1630–c. 1685), the widow of Stephen I. Koháry (1616–1664), and her eldest son Stephen II. Koháry (1649–1731) has been studied. The correspondence was written during two important periods in the life of the Koháry family. The first was during the studies of Stephen II. Koháry in Vienna after the death of his father in 1664, followed by his accession to the post of the captain-general of Fiľakovo, which he held until his capture by Imrich Thökoly in September 1682. The paper examines the manifestations of maternal care and the understanding of this role, as derived from the correspondence between mother and son, in the context of their early modern¨ conception.
The Role of Christian Women in Ritual Murder Accusations in the 16th–18th centuries
Authors: Hruszowiec Emilia
Published: December 2024

The main aim of this paper is to discuss the role of Christian women in ritual murder accusations that took place in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth from the 16th to the 18th centuries. Although the specificity of this issue might suggest that only the figures of Jewish women were considered, the reality was in fact quite different. In many cases, the deeds of Christian women were the most important element determining the course of events. Particular attention is given here to the various roles assigned to Christian women. They were perceived not only as accusers and defenders of the faith, but also as betrayers and accomplices to crimes. As such, it is necessary to consider their motives as well as the position and roles traditionally attributed to women in Christian culture. This study is based first and foremost on anti-Jewish booklets printed within the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth between 1546 and 1772, but also draws upon information from trial records relating to the cases of ritual murder accusations, which serve as complementary sources. The comparison of these two different sources makes it possible to arrive at a clearer picture of the past and to achieve a better understanding of the issues reshaped by the authors of the booklets. Because of that, anti-Jewish literature took the form of a specific kind of manipulation that used fear and anxiety to create a social reality that profoundly shaped attitudes towards Jews and women of the Christian faith.

Infarto en la cápsula externa relacionado con oclusión de la arteria cerebral media
Authors: Del Brutto Oscar H. , Arias Emilio E. , Rumbea Denisse A.
Published: December 2024

The external capsule is a band of longitudinal fibers (white matter) limited by two deep gray matter structures, the putamen medially and the claustrum laterally (Figure 1).

This structure is mainly composed of axons that connect different areas of the cerebral cortex with the tegmentum (corticotegmental fibers).

Ischemic strokes confined to the external capsule are extremely rare, representing 0.3% of patients enrolled in a large hospital-based ischemic stroke registry.

External capsule infarcts may be related to different pathogenic mechanisms, including large artery disease, cardiogenic brain embolism, sporadic cerebral small vessel disease, or to a combination of them.

In addition, external capsule infarcts have been typically reported in a hereditary form of cerebral small vessel disease known as CADASIL (cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy).

Creativity, intrinsically linked to creative thinking, stands as an essential tool for innovative problem solving, a highly valued ability in the current context. While education plays a critical role in developing a student's creative and reflective potential, its promotion does not always receive the necessary attention.  This study analyzes the influence of creative thinking on the academic performance of university students.  Methodologically, a bibliographic review was carried out in the main databases, identifying 20 relevant studies.  The results revealed various strategies to promote creative thinking, with contextualized and heterogeneous responses.  The need to deepen research in this area is highlighted to generate a more robust corpus of knowledge that can be evaluated and applied by the educational community.

Online learning is using the Internet to provide educational information, resources, and assistance to students, allowing meaningful interaction and supporting knowledge creation. This study used the descriptive-correlational research design to determine the predictors of students’ academic performance in online learning at the College of Education of Misamis University, Ozamiz City. Stratified random sampling was used to get the 124 education students who served as respondents. An adopted instrument in the Factors that Affect Students’ Academic Performance in Online Learning questionnaire from Gopal and Mushtaq (2020) consisting of 28 statements was used as the research instrument. This tool consists of 4 categories: Study Habits, Teacher Skills and Efforts, Accessibility, and Parental Involvement. Results showed that the perceived factors influencing students’ academic performance in online learning regarding study habits, teacher skills and efforts, accessibility, and parental involvement were high. Students have average performance in online learning based on their general weighted average in the first semester of the school year 2021-2022. Study habits and accessibility were significantly correlated with academic performance. The predictors of students’ academic performance in online learning were study habits and accessibility. Students with good study habits and internet connectivity will likely achieve and maintain good grades in their online learning. If internet access is not widely available in rural areas, teachers give extensions to pass requirements without deducting more significant points.

Authors: Augusto dos Santos Bruno , Gomes Figueira Ronaldo , Florian Fabiana
Published: December 2024

Este trabalho de conclusão de curso apresenta uma breve pesquisa bibliográfica sobre os carregadores para veículos elétricos. O uso crescente de veículos elétricos faz com que os carregadores sejam vistos com mais atenção. São vários os modelos de veículos com um sistema elétrico de locomoção, seu carregamento contém variadas formas que seguem normas e padrões necessários para uma melhor realização. Os carregadores são relevantes neste processo, pois seu uso adequado inibe riscos de segurança e problemas futuros. O objetivo deste trabalho é pesquisar sobre os carregadores de veículos elétricos (VEs), com o intuito de pontuar sua importância neste novo sistema de transporte. Deste modo, foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, qualitativa e bibliográfica. Pode-se concluir que são vários os tipos de carregadores de veículos elétricos e alguns são considerados melhores por serem “inteligentes”. Alguns deles possibilitam maior carregamento e, por consequência, maior energia para ser utilizada pelo veículo. Apesar de algumas informações serem identificadas a respeito dos carregadores de VEs, ainda são poucas as informações mais específicas, demandando mais estudos a respeito. Dessa forma, para melhor compreensão do conteúdo, tem-se a princípio a abordagem relacionada aos carregadores para veículos elétricos, conceitos e classificação dos veículos elétricos e os tipos de carregamento de veículos elétricos. Também são evidenciadas as etapas e recursos empregados para a produção de toda pesquisa, métodos, tipo de estudo e bases para o levantamento das informações.
Um amalá no STF: laicismo ressabiado e política do encantamento na comunicação entre terreiros e o Estado
Authors: Hoshino Thiago A. P.
Published: December 2024

Neste capítulo, analisa-se o processo que culminou na decisão do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), por unanimidade, pela constitucionalidade do sacrifício de animais em cultos religiosos. Dessa forma,rele o amalá e o padê no STF como ciência e tecnologia política para entendê-los não como uma impostura da “religião” contra a “secularidade”, mas uma resposta tão elegante quanto engenhosa ao racismo e à preponderância dos valores cristãos incrustrados nas acusações contra o abate ritual de animais. Rastreando os engajamentos afrorreligiosas numa cuidadosa política de (re)encantamento do espaço público não uma objeção à laicidade como valor democrático “moderno”, mas uma participação cismada nas segmentações da esfera pública que não deixa de explicitar suas reservas e tensionar seus limites. Os terreiros sabem bem jogar o jogo da “secularidade” ao mesmo tempo em que polemizam seus “imperativos de dissociação” (ASAD, 2013). Numa formulação que temo ser ainda embrionária e inexata, mas que quiçá nos ponha a pensar, parecem alternar-se, nessa modalidade de laicismo ressabiado nutrida pelos terreiros, a alimentação da laicidade toda vez que a religiosidade ameace devorar o espaço “público” e a política do encantamento sempre quando a secularidade sirva de tempero ao racismo religioso.
Bíblia, direitos e laicidade nos engajamentos teológicos demulheres ecmênicas

Published: December 2024

Neste capítulo, analiso, a partir de dados do trabalho de campo coletados durante meu doutorado, as mobilizações de mulheres ecumênicas em situações sociais que diziam respeito aos debates teológicos feministas por direitos. Nesse sentido, a Bíblia se torna relevante nos debates internos enquanto orientadora da cidadania política de cristãs que aquelas mulheres estavam defendendo.Dessa forma, passou a ser necessário fazer a pesquisa também mediada pela Bíblia e pelos debates das teologias feministas. Pois, as mulheres com quem dialoguei debateram seus direitos tendo a Bíblia como farol para justamente para defender os direitos humanos e um sentido de laicidade condizente com o Estado democrático e com uma sociedade religiosamente plural.
Laicidade: ainda um enquadramento possível?
Authors: Neves Raphael
Published: December 2024

Este capítulo apresenta brevemente como a laicidade é operacionalizada no direito constitucional brasileiro recente e defender a ideia de que a liberdade religiosa — e não a laicidade — é um conceito mais adequado para formular uma dogmática jurídica capaz de enquadrar os conflitos sociais de caráter religioso que têm mobilizado o direito no Brasil.Como este texto é parte de uma pesquisa interdisciplinar, permito-me esclarecer o sentido de “dogmática jurídica” aqui empregado. Quando proponho que a liberdade religiosa seja a base de uma dogmática jurídica para enquadrar conflitos de caráter religioso, isso significa que ela fornece uma base lógica (rationale, como se diz em inglês) melhor que a laicidade para decisões jurídicas. Para outras ciências sociais, essa formulação pode parecer muito normativa, mas lidar com argumentos que, ao fim e ao cabo, irão produzir uma decisão é parte intrínseca do trabalho em direito. Assim, cabe analisar a coerência do critério proposto diante de casos conhecidos e como ele pode orientar decisões futuras.

Descolonizando o Ensino de Antropologia na Graduação
Authors: Pinho Osmundo
Published: December 2024

Nos dias 24 de abril, 7 de julho e 6 de outubro de 2023, a diretoria da Associação Brasileira de Antropologia promoveu a realização de três we­binários sobre temas conectados pelo horizonte comum da descoloniza­ção do ensino de Antropologia na graduação. Os três temas foram “África e diáspora”, “Povos indígenas” e “Periferia”. O que motivou a realização dos webinários foi o entendimento de que profundas transfor­mações processam-se no ensino superior brasileiro de um modo em geral e, em particular, nos cursos de Ciências Sociais, e de Antropologia, de um modo mais específico, em virtude da história da disciplina no Ocidente, e do campo, no Brasil. Essas transformações refletem a nova realidade do perfil racial e de classe dos estudantes, em primeiro lugar, assim como a expansão do ensino superior federal no Brasil, em segundo.
