Indonesian EFL Teacher Educators’ Beliefs and Classroom Practices on The Teaching of Pronunciation: Evidence from A Pilot Study
Authors: Yulia Made Frida , Saukah Ali
Published: September 2022

Oral communication among global speakers needs good pronunciation to be successful. Regardless of its important function and role, EFL teachers often ignore pronunciation in their language teaching and oftentimes they are very lenient towards mispronunciation, which potentially hampers actual oral communication beyond language classrooms. An exploration into EFL teachers’ teaching beliefs is thus necessitated since such beliefs are mutually capable of influencing their classroom behaviors. In the effort to fill the gap of the previous research, the current study attempted to unveil teacher educators’ beliefs on teaching English pronunciation in Indonesian EFL context as well as to describe in what ways their classroom practices matched their beliefs. A qualitative research design using a semi-structured interview was employed to collect data from three Indonesian teacher educators who were experienced in teaching EFL. Similar findings to prior studies were discovered about their teaching beliefs, with one inconclusive issue remaining about teaching prioritization. Their classroom practices also generally went hand in hand with their underlying beliefs. One noteworthy finding that surfaced was the idea to have a dedicated English class for pronunciation, especially in the context of training prospective EFL teachers.

Caminhos da assistência farmacêutica na atenção básica: o desafio da garantia do acesso e do uso racional de medicamentos
Authors: Pinto Rodrigo Silveira , De Castro Mauro Silveira
Published: September 2022

Introdução: garantir o acesso e o Uso Racional de Medicamentos (URM) na Atenção Básica à Saúde (ABS) é essencial para a resolutividade dos sistemas de saúde. No Sistema Único de Saúde, a Assistência Farmacêutica (AF) foi conduzida com o enfoque logístico, objetivando somente a disponibilidade de medicamentos para o usuário, o que é insuficiente para o URM. Objetivo: descrever a abordagem dada a AF pelos gestores na ABS e as consequências dela. Fonte de dados: documentos oficiais, normativas e trabalhos acadêmicos que correlacionaram AF e ABS. Resumo das conclusões: A AF foi vista pelos gestores pela ótica da logística - ações foram realizadas para que o medicamento esteja disponível para dispensação aos usuários, entanto, essas ações não foram suficientes para atingir o URM. Ficaram evidentes os riscos associados ao uso inadequado de medicamentos que geraram desfechos clínicos negativos e aumentaram os custos do sistema. Este último ocorreu pelo aumento da prevalência de Eventos Adversos a Medicamentos, presença de regimes terapêuticos complexos e pela judicialização da saúde. É necessária uma mudança no modelo de AF na ABS conforme preconizado na Política Nacional de Atenção Básica, com Serviços Farmacêuticos ofertados conforme a necessidade da comunidade. Isso pode ocorrer pela integração das Farmácias aos territórios. Para isso, o planejamento da AF deve ocorrer de forma ascendente, envolvendo usuários, instâncias locais de participação e profissionais de saúde.

Em cada uma dessas seções aponta-se justificativas para a implementação desses aspectos enfatizados nos sistemas de saúde, destaca-se avanços evidenciados e reflete-se sobre potenciais riscos à privacidade dos dados e ao uso comercial inadequado e lesivos às pessoas. Ao fim de cada seção são apontadas algumas sugestões que podem mitigar os riscos e aperfeiçoar a legislação vigente, em especial a Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados. Defende-se, por fim, que se construa no Brasil políticas e estratégias que combinem proteção e segurança dos dados pessoais, melhoria do sistema de saúde e desenvolvimento econômico-social sustentável e includente.
O modelo social da deficiência nas pesquisas brasileiras de pós-graduação stricto sensu
Authors: de Souza Freitas Mariele Angélica , Biancha Angelucci Carla
Published: September 2022

Este trabalho versa sobre a presença do modelo social da deficiência em pesquisas acadêmicas. Partiu-se da apresentação do campo de Estudos da Deficiência e do modelo social de deficiência para discutir a produção de teses e dissertações brasileiras, com o objetivo de apresentar em que contextos acadêmicos o modelo social se faz presente, bem como analisar possíveis correlações entre a adoção do modelo social de deficiência e a valorização da participação de pessoas com deficiência no âmbito da pesquisa. A recuperação de dissertações e teses em bancos de dados virtuais chegou a 196 estudos, dos quais apenas 32 relacionavam-se ao tema estudado. Tais produções foram caracterizadas quanto à: distribuição de estudos por ano; por tipo de Instituição de Ensino Superior; por região; por campo de conhecimento; e caracterização dos estudos entre empíricos e não empíricos. Considera-se que as discussões conceituais sobre o modelo social da deficiência e suas consequências ético-políticas estão presentes de modo tímido na pesquisa acadêmica nacional. Apenas 32 de 196 estudos recuperados tratavam, ao menos de maneira introdutória, desse arcabouço. Tal presença, entretanto, é perceptivelmente estabelecida em estudos empíricos, não só no que concerne às discussões teóricas mais robustas, mas, sobretudo, quanto à participação de pessoas com deficiência e ao registro de suas experiências como base para a produção de conhecimento. Os estudos feministas da deficiência, que compõem a segunda geração do modelo social, ainda não são incorporados pela Academia.

Published: September 2022

O objetivo deste artigo consiste emanalisar o processo de supervisão clínico-institucional em uma equipe de saúde mental. Metodologia: este estudo teve uma abordagem qualitativa, constituindo-se emuma pesquisa-intervenção. Os participantes foram os profissionais de saúde e a supervisora de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial III, do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. A produção de dados teve como base as narrativas dos participantes, a observação e o instrumento de coleta – o diário de campo na perspectiva institucional. A interpretação e a análise do material foram alicerçadas sob a lógica da hermenêutica. Os resultados apontaram para vários saberes que sustentam a supervisão clínico-institucional, sendo eles: gestão, política, a concepção e funcionamento do território. Esses saberes, na maioria das vezes, dialogam e possibilitam o compartilhamento do cuidado entre os membros da equipe, o trabalho intersetorial e o acolhimento à crise e ao sofrimento psíquico. Conclusão: o cuidado no território é complexo por exigir diversas articulações que não se dão a priori. A supervisão deste serviço possibilita o tratamento no território e o protagonismo do usuário em seu cuidado, além de operar contemplando a educação permanente e a produção do cuidado em saúde mental.
Tomada de Decisão Apoiada como mecanismo de direitos humanos das pessoas com deficiência intelectual: as contribuições da escola
Authors: Albuquerque Aline , Ramos Paula
Published: September 2022

Neste estudo, considera-se que a escola constitui um espaço oportuno para fortalecer o direito à autodeterminação das pessoas com deficiência intelectual, por meio do endosso dos mecanismos formais e comunitários da Tomada de Decisão Apoiada (TDA). Objetiva-se, aqui, discutir a TDA como uma alternativa profícua para reforçar os direitos das pessoas com deficiência intelectual e apontar as contribuições da escola para ampliar esse mecanismo. Trata-se de pesquisa teórica, embasada na produção de conhecimento internacional. A escola participa com contribuições diretas (na orientação das famílias e na inclusão efetiva e apoiada dos estudantes com deficiência no processo de ensino-aprendizagem) e com contribuições indiretas (na construção de uma cultura de respeito aos direitos das pessoas com deficiência). Em uma sociedade capacitista, o estabelecimento da TDA passa, necessariamente, por uma mudança cultural em que a pessoa com deficiência seja reconhecida como indivíduo capaz e autônomo, que tem direito de decidir sobre a própria vida. Essa mudança cultural precisa ser iniciada na escola para que as gerações cresçam sabendo lidar com as diversidades, respeitando os distintos modos de existir e de se colocar no mundo.
Perspectivas sobre a educação de alunos com deficiência na África do Sul: desafiando a cultura do silêncio
Authors: McKenzie Judith , Kelly Jane , Ntombizami Shanda Nozwelo , Watermeyer Brian
Published: September 2022

A África do Sul estabeleceu um sistema de Educação Inclusiva que mantém escolas especiais para atender estudantes que demandam grandes necessidades de apoio e centros de apoio vizinhos às escolas comuns. Embora haja discussão sobre o que agregam ou não as escolas especiais, existem relativamente poucos estudos que se propõem a compartilhar as perspectivas de estudantes dessas escolas. Este estudo baseia-se em entrevistas com 39 estudantes de seis escolas especiais e dois de centros educacionais de apoio. As entrevistas foram transcritas e submetidas à análise temática de conteúdo, o que revelou que os estudantes se sentem desapontados, pois suas deficiências não são compreendidas pelos professores. Eles expressam a necessidade de maior apoio social e psicológico relativo às suas experiências escolares, à deficiência e aos problemas sociais. Eles também apontam a necessidade de os professores serem mais pacientes e comprometidos. Os estudantes que vivem em instituições de acolhimento destacam as condições precárias de vida e a ausência de apoio dos cuidadores dessas instituições, o que impacta sua possibilidade de aprendizagem. As necessidades que foram identificadas pelos estudantes podem subsidiar professores que se interessam em melhorar a qualidade da educação ofertada.

Published: September 2022

Introduction. This study is devoted to the analysis of industrial policy project instruments implemented by the Russian Industrial Development Fund, from the standpoint of assessing their impact on the systemic results of the industrial development of Russian regions. Theoretical analysis. The industrial sector of the economy has historically played a key role in the socio-economic development of Russia. Given the backbone role of industry in the country’s economy, the issues of state support for industrial development are traditionally the most important on the agenda of the state’s economic policy. Established in 2014, over the past period, the Fund has demonstrated the flexibility and adaptability of its programs to changing conditions, has provided its customers with convenient tools for concessional lending for technological modernization projects, and, in general, has become the most popular instrument of industrial policy. At the same time, the question of the strategic effectiveness of the Fund’s activities as a systemic institution of industrial policy, solving not only local tasks of supporting modernization projects and creating new industries, but also the tasks of industrial development and growth in general, remains open. Empirical analysis. Given that the problem of industrial development is ultimately localized at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, in this study, based on the methods of regression analysis, an assessment has been made of the impact of the Fund’s activities on the development of the manufacturing sector in the regions of Russia. The work has assessed the impact of projects implemented within the framework of the Fund’s programs on the indicators of the production index and the volume of shipment of goods, services on their own in the manufacturing industry of the region by groups of constituent entities of the Russian Federation, depending on the level of the average annual cost of investment projects implemented with the participation of the Industrial Development Fund. Results. The analysis has showed that the Fund’s current tools have a positive effect on the systemic growth and development of industry only up to a certain level of intensity of their use in regions with an average and low level of industrial development. As for industrialized regions, the results obtained here from the standpoint of systemic effects of accelerated industrial development are not obvious.

Published: September 2022

Introduction. The subject of the study is the novelties of the draft federal law “On the general principles of organizing local self-government in a single system of public authority” in terms of the legal regulation of direct municipal democracy. It is distinguished by a significant reduction in the existing forms of direct participation of the population in the implementation of local self-government, while not offering any new ones. Though in the course of the development of the state and society in Russia over the past two decades, new democratic mechanisms and tools have appeared. Empirical analysis. The authors analyzed the current legislative norms regulating the forms of direct democracy at the level of local self-government and provided a legal assessment of the reduction of their list in the given draft law. The researchers revealed the necessity of preserving the institution of voting on the recall of elected persons of local self-government, which is at the same time one of the types of municipal legal responsibility, in the draft law. In search of additional forms of direct democracy at the local level, the institution of public control was considered. Understanding its goals and objectives through the prism of local self-government indicated that it can act as an effective tool for the population in assessing the activities of municipal authorities. Results. The study concludes by proposing to supplement the forms of citizens’ participation in the implementation of local self-government, enshrined in the named bill, with a new form of “public control over the activities of local self-government bodies”.
Constitutional and legal regulation of the limits of implementation, degree of permissible restrictions on the basic economic rights of the individual
Authors:   Saratov State Law Academy, Plotnikova Inna N.
Published: September 2022

Introduction. Many scientific works are devoted to theoretical and practical aspects of the restriction of human rights and freedoms. However, issues of the admissibility and proportionality of restrictions on the economic rights of a person and a citizen are the subject of scientific controversy, which predetermines the expediency of addressing the topic of this study. Theoretical analysis. The author made an attempt to theoretically comprehend the concept of “restriction of the right”, presenting a scheme for dividing human and civil rights and freedoms, regulated by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, into groups according to the degree of permissible restrictions, based on an analysis of the works of domestic and foreign authors. Empirical analysis. The author highlights that “obligations” and “prohibitions” remain the main methods of legal influence in regulating implementation of economic rights, often with the imposition of liability disproportionate to the committed act, which is also confirmed by the conclusions of the Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation and the Presidential Commissioner of the Russian Federation for the Protection of Entrepreneurs' Rights, the practice of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. Results. It is proposed to consider restrictions on constitutional economic rights and freedoms as a change in the scope of their powers by interfering with the basic economic right by establishing obligations, prohibitions, and liability within the framework of: general limits for the exercise of rights and freedoms (reservations immanent in the constitution); reservations immanent in specific fundamental rights, simple reservations qualified in the relevant articles of the Constitution; immanent limits of restrictions on specific economic rights of the individual by the state. There is a growing need for a clearer regulation of the processes of institutionalization of assessment of the regulatory impact of regulations in the field of implementation of economic rights, constitutionalization of these relations.

Published: September 2022

The need for Psychological first aid (PFA) is very significant during a disaster impact or any other traumatic event. Globally it was used in the United States of America following September 11th 2001 bombing, regionally in Liberia during Ebola outbreak in 2014-2015 and locally in Kenya during Westgate mall terror attack in September 24th 2013. The study objective was to examine PFA practices applied by humanitarian responders during disaster response because of a literature gap in PFA effectiveness. There is additional academic literature as existing research only explains PFA elements and its delivery process, however, there lacks evidence on effectiveness but this study has filled that gap. In terms of policy front, there existed a gap in Kakamega County disaster policy as it partially addresses PFA during disaster recovery. A conceptual framework consisting of self-efficacy theory, coping theory, disaster cross cultural counseling model and Community-based mental health and psychosocial support model was used to analyze PFA effectiveness. A descriptive research design was used, descriptive and inferential statistics were obtained by using SPSS software version 28 and excel spreadsheets respectively for data analysis. The study findings revealed that the most applied element is social connectedness at 92.2% and the least is hope at 56.2%.

Utilização de Floculadores Tubulares Helicoidais para Clarificação de Águas: Avaliação do Diâmetro de Enrolamento na Eficiência de Remoção de Turbidez
Authors: Oliveira Danieli Soares de
Published: September 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a eficiência de remoção de turbidez de um sistema de clarificação alternativo composto por um floculador tubular helicoidal (FTH) acoplado a um sistema de decantação, de forma a comparar a mudança na eficiência do processo de acordo com mudanças geométricas da unidade, em especial o diâmetro de enrolamento (D). O uso de FTHs tem chamado a atenção da comunidade científica devido à alta eficiência de floculação e do reduzido tempo de residência, em comparação com outras unidades mais comumente utilizadas para esta finalidade. Testes experimentais físicos foram realizados com dois FTHs com diferentes diâmetros de enrolamento (5 e 30cm) e duas vazões de alimentação (1 e 2L/min) e os resultados indicam que as mudanças obtidas no perfil de velocidade com a alteração do diâmetro de enrolamento da unidade promovem alterações na interação entre as partículas previamente desestabilizadas e, com isso, são verificadas mudanças na eficiência de remoção de turbidez, com variações na ordem de 10% neste valor apenas com a alteração da geometria helicoidal da unidade. As maiores eficiências de remoção de turbidez foram obtidas para o maior diâmetro de enrolamento, onde gradientes de velocidade mais brandos são verificados. Os altos valores de gradiente de velocidade verificados na unidade com menor diâmetro de enrolamento podem propiciar a quebra dos flocos previamente formados, reduzindo a eficiência do processo de tratamento. Este resultado indica que o diâmetro de enrolamento influencia significativamente na eficiência de sistema de clarificação de águas compostos por FTHs e este parâmetro deve ser avaliado com cautela para garantir uma eficiência satisfatória do processo.
Territorialidades en conflicto en torno a un parque eólico en Argentina

Published: September 2022

Este artículo analiza las tensiones en torno a la dimensión territorial de la implementación de un emprendimiento de energía eólica en un paraje rural de la provincia de Río Negro (Argentina). El proyecto, impulsado por una empresa de capitales chinos, logró su aprobación a partir de un Estudio de Impacto Ambiental que omitió mencionar que había una comunidad mapuche donde se planificaba ubicar el parque eólico. Durante el proceso de consulta desarrollado por solicitud de la comunidad, se pusieron en evidencia lógicas territoriales diferentes que se encuentran en relación asimétrica. El artículo da cuenta de ellas a partir de datos producidos en una investigación basada en el trabajo de campo etnográfico y en archivos. El foco está puesto en el análisis de la territorialidad expresada en el Estudio de Impacto Ambiental en contraste con la que propone la comunidad con énfasis en la dimensión ontológica del problema de la tierra.

De la casa al barrio y del barrio a la ciudad. Un análisis de las trayectorias urbanas de jóvenes peruanos en la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Zenklusen Denise
Published: September 2022

El siguiente trabajo propone reflexionar sobre la articulación entre migración, jóvenes y espacio urbano a partir de contemplar y reconstruir las formas de habitar, circular y producir la ciudad. Desde un enfoque etnográfico, basado en entrevistas en profundidad, observación participante y recorridos comentados, analiza las trayectorias cotidianas y urbanas de jóvenes peruanos y peruanas que residen en dos barrios periféricos de la ciudad de Córdoba, Argentina. Los resultados muestran el lugar central que ocupan los y las jóvenes peruanos en los proyectos migratorios familiares y, específicamente, en la producción de tres espacios: la casa, el barrio y la ciudad. Al mismo tiempo que estos espacios condicionan los modos de ser jóvenes.

Background: Several herbs are currently used to mitigate the methane emission in livestock. The shikakai pods (Acacia concinna) nutritional composition, phytochemical and methane mitigation potential was evaluated by in vitro. Methods: The crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, total ash and nitrogen free extract of shikakai pods (Acacia concinna) were evaluated. The “phytochemical” screening of shikakai pods (Acacia concinna) were qualitatively assessed in water, methanol and ethanol extracts. Further, the different dose levels of shikakai pods at 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 mg were evaluated in vitro for its methane mitigation potential. Result: The crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract, total ash and nitrogen free extract of Shikakai pods (Acacia concinna) were 7.49, 20.81, 1.08, 6.39 and 64.23 per cent respectively. The phytochemical screening of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenol, saponins, carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, phytosterols, terpenoids indicated that they are present in the water, methanol and ethanol extracts. The shikakai pods dose level at 80 and 100 mg was significantly (p less than 0.05) higher than other dose levels.
Modification in Physiological Performances of French Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Seed Through Seed Priming

Published: September 2022

Background: The three priming modes using various organic and inorganic compounds for hydro-priming, osmo-priming (PEG 6000, CaCl2, KNO3) and halo-priming (thiourea, GA3) with control were considered, to study the improvement in physiological performances of French bean seed. Methods: The seeds were primed for 6 hours duration and observations associated to seven parameters considering seedling and biochemical activities were considered for getting the real exposure in physiological performances of seed for seedling establishment. Result: The treatment, T2 (thiourea, 750 ppm) was best performing with significant variation among diverse treatments except in peroxidase activity. In genotypes, V3 (RCM-FB-62) showed high significant demarcation for maximum parameters though, V2 (phyrngop) and V1 (RCM-FB-18) were highest for peroxidase activity and speed of germination. The treatment-genotype interactions showed significant demarcation with exemption in speed of germination and vigour index, however, T2V3 interaction was highest considering all parameters. Considerable parameters were pronounced contributors for cumulative upgradation in physiological performances of seed with exceptions in percent of germination and peroxidase activity. Diverse treatments specified the extent of effects on seedling or enzyme activity to upgrade the quality. Consequently, the treatment T2 resulted in improved physiological performance in French bean seed production.

The aim of this study is to determine the problems and expectations of vis-ually impaired adult school students in the field of social communication. Within the scope of this general purpose, it was carried out with 30 visually impaired adults in the fall term of 2021-2022. It was carried out with school students studying at the school and working at the same time. The research was designed in accordance with the qualitative research design for tailless analysis of data. In the December research sample, there are 30 school students determined from the universe by the purposeful sampling method. Data were collected with social communication interview ques-tions prepared by the researcher. Decontamination analysis was performed for detailed analysis of the redial data. The result of this research is that visually impaired adults see disability as a limitation. It is defined as re-striction in social relationships, restriction from doing things, restriction from individual activities. It has been concluded that disabled individuals stay away from communication in their professional lives, are excluded because they prevent the distribution of work, and this situation has negative consequences.
