Authors: Souto Sarah Lopes , Abreu Arlete Aparecida de , Campos Rafaela Gonçalves
Published: December 2022

Purpose: The objective of this work was to identify the levels of occupational stress in Criminal Police, as well as their generating factors (stressors), coping strategies and suggestions for improvement.
Design/methodology/approach: Based on a quantitative study carried out in a Prison Unit in Minas Gerais, data were collected through an electronic questionnaire, adapted from the Theoretical Model for Explanation of Occupational Stress (MTEG) developed and validated by Zille (2005). The results were analyzed using univariate and multivariate statistics and the discursive questions were treated from the Content Analysis
Findings: The main results indicate that 89% of those surveyed present stress ranging from mild to moderate to very intense and the main stressors are related to the insufficient number of staff, the biological risk of infectious diseases, overcrowding and high risk of detainees, in addition to the relationship with colleagues and management. It is also worth mentioning improvement actions aimed at 3 categories: Public Power, Management and Servants.
Research limitations/implications (if applicable): It is worth noting the fact that it was carried out only in a prison unit and the impossibility of interviews, in view of the restrictions imposed by the Covid 19 Pandemic.
Practical implications: The study highlights suggestive actions that involve the government, the direction of the Unit and also the Criminal Police in an attempt to collaborate to reduce the level of stress experienced by servers. In addition to the clamor for an increase in the number of employees, the valorization of work, dialogue, training are some of the practical actions to be taken.
Social implications: It is believed that the research draws attention to variables that influence the level of security, both of the agents and the community. Therefore, it is a matter of collective interest.
Originality/value (mandatory): We sought to contribute to the advancement of research on stress at work carried out by Criminal Police, pointing out the main stress-generating factors and indications of improvements, from the perspective of those involved. In this way, it contributes with information that can help the management of prisons, as well as justify more solid public actions for the category.

Spatiotemporal Distribution Change of Online Reference During the Time of COVID-19
Authors: Gerrish Thomas , Kong Ningning Nicole
Published: December 2022

The goal of this project was to identify the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the spatiotemporal distribution of the library’s online patrons, so that we could assess if the scheduled library reference hours are meeting the needs of the academic community. We collected each online reference patron’s location information via their IP address, as well as the timestamp of each online reference instance. The spatiotemporal distribution patterns were analyzed and compared before and after in-person instruction was suspended due to COVID-19 distance protocols and a closing of the campus in the 2020 spring semester. The results show that the geographic origins of reference questions redistributed after COVID-19 protocols were initially implemented and the university community underwent a temporary geographical redistribution. Reference question origins tended to move away from campus to other areas of the state, other states, and internationally. This population redistribution suggested that the library could adjust the online reference schedule to provide better access and service to patrons.

Authors: Rushton Erin , Mulligan Bern
Published: December 2022

In November 2019, Binghamton University Libraries initiated a website redesign project. Our goal was to create a user-centered, data-informed website with refreshed content and upgraded functionality. Originally, our redesign plan included in-person card-sorting activities, focus groups, and usability studies, but when the Libraries went remote in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to quickly reassess and adapt our processes and workflows. In this article, we will discuss how we completed this significant project remotely by relying on effective project management, communication, teamwork, and flexibility.

Sociodemographic factors associated with mixed- feeding practices among a cohort of mothers with infants aged 4 - 14 weeks in Tlokwe subdistrict, North West Province, South Africa
Authors: Semenekane N M , Witten C B , Swanepoel E , Kruger H S
Published: December 2022

Background. Exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months of an infant’s life is the recommended gold standard for infant feeding; however, mixed feeding (MF) is common in various settings. In South Africa (SA), especially in the Tlokwe subdistrict of North West Province, there is little information on the association between sociodemographic factors and infant MF practices.Objective. To identify the sociodemographic factors associated with MF practices in a cohort of mothers of infants aged 4 - 14 weeks in the Tlokwe subdistrict of North West.

Methods. The study setting was 8 health facilities in the Tlokwe subdistrict. Participants comprised postpartum women with infants aged 4 - 14 weeks. Data analysis used SPSS version 25.0. Normal data are presented as means (standard deviation (SD)), skewed data as median values (25th, 75th percentiles) and categorical values as percentages and frequencies. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analysed the association between sociodemographic factors and MF practices at time point 2 (10 - 14 weeks).

Results. The majority of the mothers were aged between 25 and 29 years, and 37% had at least 2 live children. MF increased with infant age. There was no significant association between any of the sociodemographic variables and MF practices. Logistic regression analysis showed a significant association between increased parity and MF. There was also a significant association between changes in infant- feeding practices after receiving the child support grant at 10 - 14 weeks.

Conclusion. The high proportion of mothers who mixed-fed indicates that it is still the norm, as in other SA contexts. Therefore, strengthened breastfeeding education regarding appropriate infant-feeding choices in the promotion of infant development and survival for the short and long term should be emphasised.
Exchange blood transfusion for hyperbilirubinaemia: Neonatal characteristics and short-term outcomes
Authors: Seake K , Velaphi S
Published: December 2022

Background. Factors that have been associated with severe hyperbilirubinaemia requiring exchange blood transfusion (EBT) are early discharge, late preterm birth and haemolytic disease. Early discharge is a common practice in neonatal care, so it is important to identify and audit neonates who received EBT, in order to identify modifiable factors. 

Objectives. To describe the characteristics and outcomes of infants requiring EBT. 

Methods. We reviewed records of infants admitted with severe jaundice requiring EBT from January 2009 to December 2013. Descriptive analysis of characteristics, clinical presentation, laboratory findings and outcome at discharge was performed. 

Results. A total of 150 neonates received EBT (30 per year), and 101 were reviewed. Of these, 34 (33.7%) were inpatients and 67 (66.3%) were new admissions (2.34/1 000 new admissions). The majority of neonates requiring EBT were born vaginally (86.1%), were late preterm births (20.8%) and were exclusively breastfed (82.2%). The median postnatal age at presentation was 5 days. Clinical signs suggestive of acute bilirubin encephalopathy were present in 24.8% of cases. Among mother-infant pairs with known blood groups, 9.3% and 70.4% had rhesus (Rh) and ABO incompatibility, respectively. A Coombs test was positive in 62.5% of those with Rh incompatibility compared with 31.7% of those with ABO incompatibility. A total of 6 patients (5.9%) died, all within 7 days of EBT, but none during EBT. 

Conclusion. The majority of neonates requiring EBT presented post discharge after birth and had been born vaginally at term, suggesting early discharge after delivery. More than two-thirds of cases were related to ABO incompatibility. Screening for jaundice before discharge must be prioritised, especially for infants born to mothers who are Rh negative or ABO blood group O.
Children and adolescents with diabetes at Tygerberg Hospital – at risk of cardiovascular complications?
Authors: Dookhony L N , Lombard C J , Zöllner E W
Published: December 2022

Background. In South Africa, the prevalence of dyslipidaemia and hypertension (HT) in paediatric diabetes patients is unknown. Objectives. To determine the prevalence of dyslipidaemia and HT in paediatric diabetic patients seen at Tygerberg Hospital (TBH) and establish whether either is associated with body mass index (BMI), glycosylated haemoglobin (HbA1c) or duration of diabetes. Further, to determine whether the prevalence differs between two specified periods.Methods. A retrospective study of 154 diabetic patients, aged 1 - 19 years, seen at TBH between 2007 and 2017, was undertaken. The following data were recorded: age; sex; duration of disease (time since diagnosis); height; weight; blood pressure; HbA1c; high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C); triglycerides (TG); and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C).Results. More than half of the patients (57.8%; n=89/154; 95% confidence interval (CI) 51.7 - 65.0) had dyslipidaemia, 16.3% (n=24/147) had low HDL-C levels, 53.8% (n=78/145) had high LDL-C levels and 14.9% (n=22/148) had raised TG levels. Nearly half of the patients (48.7%; n=75/154; 95% CI 41.6 - 55.1) were hypertensive and 93.5% (n=144/154) were poorly controlled (HbA1c >7.5%). Dyslipidaemia was not associated with HT or BMI percentile and its prevalence did not change between the two specified periods. Prevalence of dyslipidaemia and HT was not associated with duration of diabetes. About one-third (30.8% (n=4/13); 95% CI 11.9 - 59.3) of the pre-adolescents and 60.3% (n=85/141; 95% CI 51.9 - 68.1) of the adolescents had dyslipidaemia (p=0.04). Dyslipidaemia was diagnosed in 62.6% (n=82/131) of adolescents with poorly controlled diabetes (p=0.04) and in 71.7% (95% CI 59.0 - 81.7) of patients ≥16 years of age (p=0.005).Conclusions. Poor glycaemic control, dyslipidaemia and HT are common in diabetic children, putting them at risk of cardiovascular complications in adulthood.
Examining maternal depression, birthweight and linear growth: Findings from the South African National Income Dynamics Study
Authors: Harper A , Rothberg A , Chirwa E , Mall S
Published: December 2022

Background. Literature is inconclusive regarding an association between maternal depression, low birthweight (LBW) and stunting in early childhood. While some studies have found an association, others have not. Maternal food insecurity is a risk factor for both maternal depression and reduced linear growth in early childhood. 

Objective. This study examined the relationship between maternal depression, food insecurity, LBW and stunting in the first five years of life. The study employed longitudinal data of South African women and children from the National Income Dynamics Study (NIDS). 

Methods. Mothers were classified into four groups: food insecure and depressed; food insecure only; depressed only; and neither food insecure nor depressed. During data collection, 22% of women were pregnant and the remaining 78% were pre-conception. The primary outcomes were low birthweight and height-for-age (HAZ) scores. Generalised Linear Mixed Effects (GLME) models were used to account for women having more than one child. GLME models with a Gaussian link function were used to compare mean differences in birthweight and HAZ scores. Multivariable regression models were used to examine factors associated with depression. 

Results. Food insecurity was significantly associated with depression among pre-conceptional and pregnant women. There was no statistically significant difference in birthweight or linear growth across groups, but this may be influenced by proximity of depression measurement in relation to outcomes. 

Conclusion. Food insecurity is a potentially modifiable risk factor for depression and may be a confounding factor in studies that have found associations between depression and child health outcomes.
Two South African patients with PGAP3-related Mabry syndrome with unusually low alkaline phosphatase levels
Authors: Moosa S
Published: December 2022

Hyperphosphatasia with mental retardation syndrome (HPMRS), also known as Mabry syndrome, is an autosomal recessive disease that is associated with inherited glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) deficiencies. This genetically heterogeneous disorder can be caused by variants in seven genes that encode molecules of the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchor biosynthesis pathway, namely PIGL, PIGO, PIGV, PIGW, PIGY, PGAP2 and PGAP3. Recently, a pathogenic variant in PGAP3 was identified in 3 unrelated South African patients with HMPRS. Here, two further patients with the exact variant in PGAP3 are described. Classically, HMPRS is associated with elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels. Interestingly, these two patients had unusually low ALP levels at initial presentation. This is an important observation, as the ALP level is often used as a screening test to decide whether to proceed to confirmatory genetic testing. These patients illustrate that in PGAP3-related Mabry syndrome, ALP levels can be low, albeit a rare finding. Hence, a high suspicion for the disorder should be maintained in patients with typical facial dysmorphic features and severe neurodevelopmental delay, even in the absence of elevated ALP.
Freedom and Choice of an Addictive Personality: a Person Between "Homo Liturgicus" and "Hackable Animal"
Authors: Kangieva Alie Memetovna
Published: December 2022

The article examines the concept of addiction and the features of an addictive personality through the prism of the attachment-based development approach of Gordon Neufeld. Neurophysiological features of the formation of the "addictive brain" are shown. The phenomenon of healthy mature attachment as a space of addiction therapy is investigated. The necessity of focusing on the choice and responsibility of an addictive personality is substantiated. The concept of a "separation complex" in the understanding of Gordon Neufeld is analyzed. The relationship between addiction and trauma, addiction and love is analyzed. The thesis about the interchangeability of addictions is revealed. The concept of post-traumatic growth of an addictive personality is investigated, provided that the responsibility for satisfying hunger and eliminating deficits in relation to oneself and others is realized. The article for the first time analyzes the formation of addiction within the framework of the attachment-based development approach of Gordon Neufeld. The directions for reinterpretation of trauma from the point of view of its contribution to the growth of personality are proposed. The emphasis is placed on the choice, freedom, responsibility of an addictive personality for the realization of his own potential
Preliminary identification of areas suitable for Sustainable Drainage Systems and Managed Aquifer Recharge to mitigate stormwater flooding phenomena in Rome (Italy)
Authors: Lentini Azzurra , Meddi Elisa , Galve Jorge Pedro , Papiccio Claudio , La Vigna Francesco
Published: December 2022

This paper proposes a preliminary and large-scale survey methodology to identify areas suitable for indepth analysis for the application of Sustainable Drainage Systems and Managed Aquifer Recharge. These techniques are frequently applied to increase the natural infiltration capacity of water into the ground and their effectiveness depends on the local hydrogeological and morphological characteristics. The study area is the city of Rome where the aim is to mitigate the problems related to rainwater which, in case of extreme events, struggles to infiltrate into the ground, overloads the undersized drainage systems, and floods the urban space.The proposed method involves GIS geospatial analysis of the permeability of outcropping lithologies, the digital elevation model, and the piezometric levels of the aquifers. To identify the suitable zones, areas characterised by high permeability and a piezometric level that would confer a volumetric capacity to possibly store even large quantities of water, without triggering possible problems of water table rise, were identified. Data were divided into classes and indexed to compare and overlap them. Furthermore, the final result was compared with the urban flooding phenomena and the soil permeability map of Rome. The results of the performed analysis show that the preliminary suitable conditions to apply SuDS and MAR in Rome are widespread. The geological setting of the city is characterised by permeable lithologies in many places with an effective infiltration potential that would allow rainwater to infiltrate the subsoil and reach the first available aquifer.

Opening the black box of bird-window collisions: passive video recordings in a residential backyard
Authors: Samuels Brendon , Fenton Brock , Fernández-Juricic Esteban , MacDougall-Shackleton Scott A.
Published: December 2022

Collisions with windows on buildings are a major source of bird mortality. The current understanding of daytime collisions is limited by a lack of empirical data on how collisions occur in the real world because most data are collected by recording evidence of mortality rather than pre-collision behaviour. Based on published literature suggesting a causal relationship between bird collision risk and the appearance of reflections on glass, the fact that reflections vary in appearance depending on viewing angle, and general principles of object collision kinematics, we hypothesized that the risk and lethality of window collisions may be related to the angle and velocity of birds’ flight. We deployed a home security camera system to passively record interactions between common North American bird species and residential windows in a backyard setting over spring, summer and fall seasons over 2 years. We captured 38 events including 29 collisions and nine near-misses in which birds approached the glass but avoided impact. Only two of the collisions resulted in immediate fatality, while 23 birds flew away immediately following impact. Birds approached the glass at variable flight speeds and from a wide range of angles, suggesting that the dynamic appearance of reflections on glass at different times of day may play a causal role in collision risk. Birds that approached the window at higher velocity were more likely to be immediately killed or stunned. Most collisions were not detected by the building occupants and, given that most birds flew away immediately, carcass surveys would only document a small fraction of window collisions. We discuss the implications of characterizing pre-collision behaviour for designing effective collision prevention methods.

Can the Robot be Considered a Person? The European Perspective
Authors: Fauquet-Alekhine Philippe
Published: December 2022

Technological advances are equipping robotic entities with artificial intelligence and endowed with emotional intelligence that gives them a capacity for reflection, analysis, that is closer every day to that of humans. The growing autonomy of robotic entities raises the question of legal responsibility for acts carried out by such entities at the same time as it raises the question of the status of such entities: should they be considered as persons or as things? The European Parliament adopted a resolution in 2017 that assumes that such entities could be granted the status of "electronic person". The question is how this can fit into the legal framework of the Member States of the European Community. This article proposes a first reflection on the thing-person transition of an autonomous robotic entity. The findings show that this transition is not immediate and requires both technological advances and an adjustment of the law.
Effect of Different Cooking Methods on the Concentration of Vitamin C in Cowpea Vegetable (Vigna unguiculata)
Authors: Odit Emmanuel , Omara Denis , Kifuku Richard , Kawuma Carol
Published: December 2022

Background: Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin widely distributed in nature, mostly rich in fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables. The amount of Vitamin C in a given food depends on soil condition, climate in their area of growth, storage condition after harvest, and methods of preparation. Much amount of Vitamin C in vegetables is lost during cooking and there are still limited information on the impact of different cooking methods on the vitamin C content in leafy vegetable like cowpea vegetable (Vigna unguiculata). It is upon this background that this study aimed to determine the concentration of Vitamin C in cowpea vegetable when cooked using different cooking methods.

Methodology: Vitamin C concentration in a solution of cowpea vegetable cooked by different cooking methods (boiling, steaming and microwave methods) was determined by a redox titration using iodine in the presence of starch indicator. This was conducted at Busitema University, Faculty of Science and Education, Biology Laboratory in Uganda.

Results: The study revealed that cooking cowpea vegetable using microwave yields the highest concentration of vitamin C (154.8 mg/L), followed by steaming (142.9 mg/L) and boiling yielding the least concentration of vitamin C (130.4 mg/L).

Conclusion: The concentration of vitamin C obtained by the three methods of cooking cowpea vegetable has shown that microwaving method of cooking yields the highest concentration of vitamin C followed by steaming method and finally boiling. Further studies should be done to explain the variation of vitamin C concentration in cowpea vegetable when cooked using the above cooking methods. Similar studies should be conducted on other leafy vegetables which are potential sources of Vitamin C.
Tooth Bleaching and Its Adverse Effects: A Review
Authors: Patil Gauri , Reche Amit , Paul Priyanka
Published: December 2022

The technique of lightening the shade of a person's teeth is known as tooth whitening or tooth bleaching. For a variety of reasons, teeth can become discoloured, and whitening is frequently the preferred solution. Nowadays aesthetics play a major role in today’s lifestyle. One of the common procedures in cosmetic dentistry is bleaching of the tooth. There are many causes of tooth discolouration. According to the aetiology and localization it is divided into intrinsic and extrinsic causes. This review article tells us briefly about various aspects of tooth bleaching like causes of tooth discolouration, bleaching material and its mechanism, bleaching techniques and the adverse effect of bleaching. The walking bleach technique and in-office thermocatayltic bleach technique is non vital tooth bleaching techniques. Walking bleach method uses sodium perborate with distilled water while thermocatalytic bleaching uses hydrogen peroxide with heat. Extracoronal tooth bleaching techniques are in-office vital bleach technique and at-home vital bleach technique. There are number of adverse effects of tooth bleaching. Gingival irritation and tooth sensitivity are common side effects in vital tooth bleaching while root resorption, chemical burns is seen in non vital bleach technique. Chemical burn can be avoided by application of petroleum jelly or Vaseline to gingiva and oral mucosa during bleaching. Gingival irritation is mainly seen in in-home vital bleach technique where the customized tray irritates the gingiva. This can be prevented by trimming the customized tray. Tooth sensitivity is also a common side effect of vital tooth bleaching.

Authors: Lidya Joey , Soelistyo Liliek
Published: December 2022

Young Adult fiction's popularity is at its peak right now due to the topic being related to the problems that teenagers are facing in today's era. One of those novels is Astonishing Color of After, a novel about the mother and daughter’s relationship between two generations, Dory with her mother, and Dory with her daughter, Leigh. This novel intrigues me to analyze the characteristics of Dory's and Dory's mother's parenting style, the influence of their parenting styles, and how it affects the mother's and daughter's relationship and their daughter's behavior problems. To analyze these three points, I will apply the authoritarian parenting style and permissive parenting style based on the types of parenting theory by Diana Baumrind. My analysis will show how Dory's and Dory's mother's parenting style is influenced by the culture and childhood trauma, and how their parenting styles affect the relationship between them and their daughter as well as their daughters' behavioral problems. This thesis will end with a conclusion that there is a line between when the parents become authority figures and when the parents become the companion of their children.

Songs are short piece of music with word that are sung (Cambridge Dictionary) or in Bahasa Indonesia we can call it "Nyanyian" or "Lagu". A Million of Indonesia's good songs still need to be explored because they are worth being known by more Indonesians and also people from all around the world. In this paper, I collected, translated, and analyzed the ten Indonesian Pop Songs. The analysis of the translation is important to help me as the translator of those songs, to be better by assessing it and it could be an example for others to do this good little movement. The purpose of the study is first, to analyze the Accuracy of the ten songs translation and also to analyze the Acceptability of the ten songs translation.In this study, my songs translation shows the level of Accuracy and Acceptability aspect which are connected with the theory I used in this paper. I used the theory from Mona Baker's (2018), Equivalence at Word Level. There are two main types of meaning in words and utterances that I used; Propositional Meaning for the Accuracy analysis and Expressive Meaning for the Acceptability analysis.
Girl Power in Ascendance of a Bookworm
Authors: Angelica Jennifer
Published: December 2022

Anime originate from Japan and has been deeply rooted as a culture since the 1990s (JW-Magazine, 2021). Ascendance of a Bookworm is one of an isekai anime, a fantasy sub-genre which is booming right now. In this anime series, Myne had grown in a poor family who had no right to speak and had no education. Despite the condition however, Myne is confident and forthright, as most young women in her previous world tended to be more open and vocal in expressing their emotions. To analyze this anime, I will use girl power from two different sources; Jennifer Baumgardner and Amy Richards, and Emilie Zaslow. My analysis will show that Myne has girl power characteristics in her and how her girl power affects other people around her. This thesis will end with a conclusion that the characteristics can be found everywhere and the effects it has, whether positive or negative.

Published: December 2022

This thesis aims to know how the lead female character in Si Manis Jembatan Ancol (2019) fulfills the characteristics of a femme-castratrice and also to see the result that the lead character gets after she transforms into a female monster. To address the questions, I will use the monstrous-feminine theory as the main theory to be applied to Maryam as a victim of gender-based violence. From this theory, I want to show that the transformation of a femme-castratrice may occur by symbolic and literal castration. The symbolic castration means that the victim is castrated emotionally, whereas the literal castration means that the victim is physically abused. I connected the analysis with the abjection theory to show the result and resolution once the main female character is fully transformed into a femme-castratrice, which is a total banishment from the disturbed society, in a form of annihilation. In the end, it can be concluded that a femme-castratrice in Si Manis Jembatan Ancol (2019) is considered an ambiguous character.
Human and Nature in Donny Dhirgantoro’s 5 cm: An Ecocritical Reading
Authors: Tedjowahyudi Olivia
Published: December 2022

This research aims to analyze Donny Dhirgantoro’s novel, 5 cm, from the perspective of ecocriticism. It tries to investigate the roles of each setting and the portrayals of human-nature relationship in the narrative. The results indicate that there is a dichotomy of the city and mountain. City is depicted as the antagonist while mountain is the protagonist, taking the role of a mother. The narrative conveys nature as an autonomous entity with power to attack/ support the inhabitants. There is interdependency between nature and human being in the text. Nature needs human being to protect it while humans maintain their good relationship with the nature by keeping the rules and social norms around the setting in order to obtain the protection from nature. Despite the novel’s attempt to put nature as the more superior entity, the character’s decision at the end of the narrative shows that nature is still seen as a source of comforts to satisfy human’s needs.
The Superiority Complex of Eleanor in Crazy Rich Asians
Authors: Agnes Fenny
Published: December 2022

Crazy Rich Asians is one of the movies that is adapted from literature. In this thesis I am analyzing this movie because of the depiction of a rich person, Eleanor Young, who has an underlying inferiority.  However, she shows that she has a superiority over others to cover inferiority. Therefore, in this thesis I am interested in analyzing the superiority complex that was portrayed by Eleanor in the movie and the impact for other characters. In the analysis I use Alfred Adler’s theory of superiority complex. The findings show that Eleanor's superiority complex is shown through her action and behavior, her speech, and her characteristic traits. Her superiority complex affects other characters, who are Nick and Rachel. As a result, Eleanor does not have a good relationship with Nick and Rachel and she portrays her superiority complex.

Published: December 2022

O presente artigo analisa dados exibidos no YouTube relacionados a vídeos sobre o plantio de açaí em terra firme. A temática escolhida considerou a importância da produção de açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) para o estado do Pará, o papel da Embrapa na geração de tecnologias que atendam às demandas da sociedade, considerando a cultivar de açaí, e o interesse do público pelo conteúdo exibido na plataforma. Os dados foram coletados no Youtube, a partir da palavra-chave “plantio de açaí” para classificação e análise quantitativa dos vídeos com maior número de visualizações e de likes. Os principais resultados indicam que aqueles que despertam maior engajamento do público abordam os seguintes assuntos: plantio de açaí, produção de mudas, irrigação, açaí consorciado e rentabilidade. Portanto, conclui-se que a prospecção de demandas a partir de vídeos exibidos no YouTube pode gerar novas oportunidade para o desenvolvimento de conteúdos, soluções tecnológicas, negócios e estratégias de comunicação.

A Lei de Inovação criou o Núcleo de Inovação Tecnológica para gerir a propriedade intelectual e a inovação nas ICTs federais. Após aprovação do Novo Marco Legal da Inovação, o Instituto Federal do Maranhão baixou a Resolução n. 111/2017, que aprovou sua Política de Inovação. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar quais diretrizes e objetivos apontados no artigo 15-A da Lei de Inovação e no artigo 14 do Decreto n. 9.283/2018 estão contemplados na Política de Inovação do IFMA. Para isso, realizou-se análise textual das referidas normas e verificou-se que, entre as diretrizes e os objetivos elencados no artigo 15-A da Lei, não foi encontrada na resolução previsão de orientação das ações institucionais de capacitação de recursos humanos em empreendedorismo, gestão da inovação, transferência de tecnologia e propriedade intelectual. Ademais, o trabalho concluiu sobre a necessidade de atualização da Política a fim de atender também ao Decreto n. 9.283/2018.

Apesar da crescente quantidade de estudos acerca do gênero e das sexualidades, ainda são menos frequentes as pesquisas que focam as vivências lésbicas. Este estudo teve como objetivo refletir sobre a pluralidade das vivências de mulheres lésbicas, buscando compreender como se constroem as lesbianidades e como se dá a interseccionalidade de opressões e a invisibilidade dessas comunidades, a partir de marcadores sociais e identitários. O método de pesquisa se baseou na netnografia, focando em conteúdos compartilhados por mulheres lésbicas sobre suas vivências na plataforma digital Instagram. Evidenciou-se que as lesbianidades não têm uma identidade única e, em intersecção com fatores como cor/raça e papéis de gênero, produzem uma multiplicidade de demandas. Assim, o protagonismo de narrativas pessoais nas mídias sociais se apresenta como potencial estratégia de visibilidade das lesbianidades, bem como de ampliação de espaços de fala na academia.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Interseccionalidade. Lesbianidades. Mídias sociais. Sexualidades. Visibilidade lésbica.
Currículos escolares e o combate à transfobia:
Authors: Greco Pedro Teixeira Pinos
Published: December 2022

Este artigo visa analisar a transfobia no Brasil e, em seguida, examinar a possibilidade de os currículos escolares serem um ponto de inflexão na luta contra a transfobia em nosso país. Para que cuidemos desse ideário, precisamos entender o arcabouço social brasileiro, bem como o substrato educacional que está vertido no Plano Nacional de Educação, a fim de que possamos ter uma melhor visão da transfobia no ambiente escolar e avaliar se essa atual omissão em nossos currículos escolares pode estar nos levando ao aumento da transfobia. Com isso, por meio de uma metodologia pautada pela análise doutrinária, legislativa e documental, guiada pelos filtros de uma pesquisa científica, vamos vislumbrar se o debate sobre a transfobia nas escolas pode ajudar no seu combate.

Vida universitária e saúde mental

Published: December 2022

Este artigo pretende contribuir para a compreensão e o enfrentamento do aumento de situações de sofrimento e adoecimento psíquico, especialmente de estudantes, no ensino superior. Busca-se analisar a produção de sofrimentos discentes e de fracasso acadêmico em uma universidade pública, de uma perspectiva crítica à medicalização dos sofrimentos, à meritocracia e ao produtivismo que vigoram nas universidades e no mundo neoliberal. Apesar da vigência de políticas afirmativas que democratizaram o acesso de segmentos sociais historicamente marginalizados ao ensino superior brasileiro na última década, práticas excludentes ainda atravessam o cotidiano universitário. Discute-se uma pesquisa-intervenção em um curso de graduação, articulando dados sobre o perfil de alunos/as ingressantes e os desafios por eles/as vividos, a uma experiência de grupo com docentes, discentes e técnicos daquele curso. A Orientação Acadêmica enquanto mote para um Ciclo Formativo grupal revelou-se dispositivo capaz de propiciar trânsitos entre o instituído e o instituinte, engendrando, no campo da educação, a produção coletiva de cuidados. A experiência grupal permitiu reconhecimentos recíprocos e elaborações coletivas para o enfrentamento de situações associadas ao sofrimento e ao fracasso acadêmico, tais como: sobrecarga, avaliação e racismo estrutural. Dialogando com contribuições teóricas da psicologia escolar crítica e do pensamento decolonial, o texto desvela potencialidades na escuta, na troca de saberes e experiências, bem como na mobilização de responsabilizações coletivas que trafegam na contramão da medicalização, do silenciamento e da despolitização de sofrimentos deflagrados pelo racismo e outras opressões estruturais.
