Using Qualitative Methods to Understand the Educational Experiences of Students with Dyslexia
Authors: Zambo Debby
Published: February 2021

The paper argues that the systematic review of qualitative research is best served by reliance upon qualitative methods themselves. A case is made for strengthening the narrative literature review and using narrative itself as a method of review. A technique is proposed that builds upon recent developments in qualitative systematic review by the use of a narrative inductive method of analysis. The essence of qualitative work is described. The natural ability for issues of ethnicity and diversity to be investigated through a qualitative approach is elaborated Recent developments in systematic review are delineated, including the Delphi and Signal and Noise techniques, inclusion of grey literature, scoping studies and meta-ethnography. A narrative inductive interpretive method to review qualitative research is proposed, using reflective teams to analyze documents. Narrative is suggested as a knowledge-generating method and its underlying hermeneutic approach is defended as providing validity and theoretical structure. Finally, qualities that distinguish qualitative research from more quantitative investigations are delineated. Starting points for reflecting on qualitative studies and their usefulness are listed.

A Mathematical Model of Stratified Geophysical Fluid Flows Over Variable Bottom Topography
Authors: Iornumbe SI , Tivde T , Chia RA
Published: February 2021

In this paper, a mathematical model of stratified geophysical fluid flow over variable bottom topography was derived for shallow water. The equations are derived from the principles of conservation of mass and conservation of momentum. The force acting on the fluid is gravity, represented by the gravitational constant. A system of six nonlinear partial differential equations was obtained as the model equations. The solutions of these models were obtained using perturbation method. The presence of the coriolis force in the shallow water equations were shown as the causes of the deflection of fluid parcels in the direction of wave motion and causes gravity waves to disperse. As water depth decreases due to varied bottom topography, the wave amplitude were shown to increase while the wavelength and wave speed decreases resulting in overturning of the wave. The results are presented graphically.
Deteção remota
Authors: Pinheiro Catarina de Almeida
Published: February 2021

A parca existência de dados espaciotemporais contínuos desde sempre impôs consideráveis restrições a abordagens transversais e diacrónicas do fenómeno urbano. Todavia, avanços tecnológicos, mais ou menos recentes, que diariamente incrementam colossais bases de dados com informação geográfica explícita (e.g., satélites, redes sociais, dados oficiais), vieram possibilitar a desmultiplicação dos estudos de caso. Com efeito, a lógica dedutiva, hegemónica até então, é substituída pela indutiva – que desenvolvida no sentido bottom-up veio colocar em evidência particularismos locais. Nascida ainda antes do apogeu dos ‘Big Data’, a observação sinótica e repetitiva da Terra facultada pela Deteção Remota assume uma importância fulcral no (re)interesse e na renovação metodológica e concetual dos Estudos Urbanos verificada no advento do novo milénio – mormente o enfoque cronogeográfico que é dado aos estudos de morfologia urbana. A par disto, importa notar que a visão multiespectral dos satélites fornece variegada informação (e.g., humidade do solo, temperatura de superfície, poluentes), que se estende muito para além da mera extração do tecido urbano. Face ao exposto, procura-se colocar em evidência as mutações que a Deteção Remota – alicerçada nos Sistemas de Informação Geográfica – desencadeou nos Estudos Urbanos, dando-se particular enfoque ao domínio da Geografia, visto aí a abordagem integrada do ecossistema urbano se encontrar maximizada.

Congenital Tuberculosis in a Neonate: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Authors: Raj P , Sarin YK
Published: February 2021

Though tuberculosis (TB) among pregnant women is not unusual in our country, documented cases of congenital tuberculosis are rare. Diagnosis is often difficult as signs and symptoms in a neonate are non- specific. Maternal history of tuberculosis is often missed, as many of them are asymptomatic. Here we present a neonate who was operated in view of intestinal obstruction which intra operatively showed disseminated abdominal tuberculosis with infected ascites.

Early Closure of Gastroschisis After Silo Placement Correlates with Earlier Enteral Feeding
Authors: Harris Jamie , Poirier Jennifer , Selip Debra , Pillai Srikumar , Shah Ami N , Jackson Carl-Christian , Chiu Bill
Published: February 2021

Objectives: Gastroschisis is a congenital anomaly affecting 2.3-4.4/10,000 births. Previous studies show initiation of early enteral feeds predicts improved outcomes. We hypothesize that earlier definitive closure after silo placement; can lead to earlier enteral feed initiation.Design/ Setting/ Duration: Retrospective review of patients with gastroschisis from 2005 and 2014 at a single institution.Material and Methods: The data, including ethnicity, gestational age, birth weight, time to definitive closure, and time of first and full feeds, were analyzed using both Spearman’s rho and the Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test where appropriate; a p value <0.05 was considered significant.Results: Forty-three patients (24 males, 19 females) born with gastroschisis were identified. Overall survival rate was 88% (38/43). Forty of the 43 patients had a silo placed prior to definitive closure. Median days to closure were 6 (0 to 85) days. First feeds on average began on day of life (DOL) 17, and full feeds on DOL 25. Earlier closure of gastroschisis correlated with early initiation of feeds (p=0.0001) and shorter time to full feeds (p=0.018), closure by DOL4 showed a trend toward earlier feeding (p=0.13).Conclusion: Earlier closure of gastroschisis after silo placement was associated with earlier feed initiation and shorter time to full feeds.
Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis in Postoperative Esophageal Atresia with Tracheoesophageal Fistula
Authors: RAA Hassan , YU Choo , R Noraida , I Rosida
Published: February 2021

Development of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis during postoperative period in EA with TEF is rare. Postoperative vomiting or feeding intolerance in EA is more common which is due to esophageal stricture, gastroesophageal reflux and esophageal dysmotility. A typical case of IHPS also presents with non-bilious projectile vomiting at around 3-4 weeks of life. The diagnosis of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis in this subset is usually delayed because of its rarity. We report a case of IHPS in postoperative EA and emphasize on high index of suspicion to avoid any delay in diagnosis with its metabolic consequences.

Disclosing bad news of cancer: patients’ preference for communication
Authors: Saqib Sabah Uddin , Khawaja Muhammad Inam Pal
Published: February 2021

Abstract
Introduction: The majority of cancer patients’ relatives in developing countries, especially in Pakistan prefers and demand, and in most times impose a “do not tell approach”, while counselling for patients disease. Thus, the aim of the current study is to first assess patients’ understanding about his or her disease and see preferences regarding the manner in which physicians’ deliver news about cancer diagnosis and its management plan.
Material and methods: This was a cross-sectional qualitative study. Patients were approached and interviewed while having their regular follow-up. An immediate relative of the patient was also included in the study to see family perception regarding disease after their consent. This study enrolled 55 patients with 6 different types of cancers.
Results: This study shows that 35 (65.5%) patients did not know stage at diagnosis while 40 (72.7%) patients did not know the current stage of their disease. In 22 (40%) cases, patient’s family knew diagnosis ahead of patient and 19 (86.3%) families asked clinicians to hide diagnosis news from the patient. This study demonstrates, specialist oncologist for breaking news, family counseling, helping patient to figure out how to tell diagnosis to others, telling news directly to the patient and the effects of cancer on daily life are preferred area to communicate on first visit.
Conclusion:  Disclosing cancer news is always an unfavorable experience not only for patient and family but also clinician as well. In our population both patient understanding and communication demands improvements.

Vinegar is a liquid product produced from alcoholic and acetous fermentation. Vinegar contains acetic acid and bioactive compounds, which are brewed by liquid-state and solid-state fermentation techniques. This study reviews chemical fermentation process properties, bioactive compounds, and health benefits of fruit vinegars in Thailand. Chemical properties are the alcohol percentage and acetic acid percentage of vinegar. Bioactive compounds include antioxidant activity and total phenolic content, which have the role of antioxidative activity, blood pressure and glucose control, and anti-tumor. However, further studies are needed to find the new fruit raw materials to produce fruit vinegar which have more bioactive compound and more good taste.
The Effect of a Self-Management Program Combined with Social Support on the Self-Management and Healthy Eating Behaviors among Patients with Cardiovascular Disease
Authors: NUNTHAITAWEEKUL Pachanut , PANSUP Junpen
Published: February 2021

Unhealthy eating behaviors are one of the major causes of Coronary vascular disease (CVD). The self-management program combined with social support (CIP) was implemented to improve the patients’ self-management ability and maintain their eating behaviors to a healthier standard. The purpose of this study was to compare the scores of self-management and healthy eating behaviors of patients with CVD in the experimental CIP group before and after participation in the CIP. It also compared self-management and healthy eating behavior scores between patients with CVD who entered the CIP with the usual nursing care group. This study was a quasi-experimental approach with 2 groups of pre-and post-tests. The sample size of 50 cases, 25 in each group, was considered for the study. Questionnaires were used to assess the patient’s self-management and healthy eating behavior scores. Descriptive statistics, dependent t-test, and independent t-test were used for the data analysis. The findings revealed that the experimental group showed a significantly (p < 0.05) increased average self-management (46.2 ± 5.6 to 51.1 ± 5.9) and healthy eating behaviors (39.3 ± 5.5 to 48.4 ± 4.0) scores after the program than before. They also had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher self-management and healthy eating behavior scores than the control group (51.1 ± 5.9 vs. 48.9 ± 6.0 and 48.4 ± 4.0 vs. 39.8 ± 7.5, respectively). This program increased the patients’ self-management scores, and consequentially their healthy eating behaviors score also improved.

Reliability and Validity of the Toe Walking Tool in Turkish Idiopathic Toe Walking Children
Authors: TANRIVERDİ Müberra , TUNÇ Büşra , İŞCAN Akın
Published: February 2021

The aim of our study was to determine the reliability and the validity of the Turkish-language version of the Toe Walking Tool (TWT) in idiopathic toe walking children."Toe Walking Tool” contains 21-items which measure medical, birth & developmental history and assessment. Demographic information of 34 children was recorded. The tool was translated into Turkish with the following translation steps. Internal structure consistency and test-retest reliability were measured for reliability analyses. For each item on the tool, Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total score correlations were calculated. Turkish Version of Toe Walking Tool (TWT-TR) showed good test-retest reliability (ICC: 0.674). Lower and upper bound ranged of Cronbach's alpha coefficient in the internal structure consistency analysis was calculated between 0.476-0.823. These data suggest that the TWT-TR is a valid and reliable clinical tool in idiopathic toe walking children.
Ragionamenti intorno a l’Idea del theatro di Giulio Camillo Delminio. Lavori in corso
Authors: Monaco Angelo Maria
Published: February 2021

Preliminary proof of a work in progress, the essay is given as a reasoned recognition of the critical reception of Giulio Camillo Delminio’s L’idea del theatro (1550). Intended, on the one hand, as a compendium useful to orient Scholars in the magmatic bibliography on L’idea, on the other hand, as a starting point for new study hypotheses about Camillo as an iconographer. Divided into three sections, the essay focuses, first, on the relevant role played by images in the architecture of L’idea. The second part is a sort of annotated bibliography that starts from Frances Yates’ famous essay, published in 1966. In the third part, two new proposals are discussed. The first one deals with the origin and meaning of the name "Delminio", explained from a philological point of view as a latinization aiming at Camillo’s own self-fashioning. The second one highlights the helpfulness of the list of annotated images in a manuscript in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, recently rediscovered, to clarify the meaning of some cryptic images in L’idea.
Il teatro è arte visiva. Le premesse critiche di Toti Scialoja per una moderna concezione della scena
Authors: Rossi Martina
Published: February 2021

Il teatro è arte visiva is an undated and unpublished text by Toti Scialoja. It has been found in the archive of the artist among other documents related to his activity of teacher at the Academy of Fine Art in Rome. The text could be seen as a proof of Scialoja’s lasting interest in the reflection on the role of the arts in the mise en scène. In particular, he started to propose his own opinion inside of Italian culture debate since the Forties. Some texts on this matter have been published between 1944 and 1946 on “Mercurio”, and in 1949 on “L’Immagine”. Considering those precedents, Il teatro è arte visiva could be considered a summa of the principles that Scialoja already expressed in those previous texts, but actualized according to new experiences, like Grotowski’s Poor Theatre. This mention suggests to propose a dating of the document subsequent the second half of the Sixties and to refer it to his experience as Professor of Scenography at the Academy of Fine Arts. It consents to highlight how he educated his students in light of the most important and innovative experimentation scenic of Avant-gardes, instilling in them the importance of considering theatre like a visual art, formally independent from the single contribution of paint, sculpture, and architecture.
Delacroix contre Girodet: réflexions autour d’un poème méconnu
Authors: Savettieri Chiara
Published: February 2021

This article focuses on a somewhat neglected satirical poetic work by Eugène Delacroix, devoted to the painting Pygmalion and Galatea by Anne-Louis Girodet (first exhibited at the 1819 Salon). The text dates back to 1824, the year of both Géricault’s and Girodet’s deaths. After analysing the text and its context, the author explores a new interpretative hypothesis: the work could well be seen as a reaction Delacroix developed against anti-romantic neoclassical positions that, on the occasion of Girodet’s funeral, were fiercely expressed by Gros and Gérard.
Per la fortuna critica di Ludovico Brea: una monografia inedita di Piero De Minerbi (1911-1912)
Authors: Volpera Federica
Published: February 2021

The archive of the Pinacoteca Civica in Savona preserved an unpublished typescript about the painter Ludovico Brea (Nice, 1450 c.-1516/1525): this work was written between 1911 and 1912 by the art historian Piero Hierschel De Minerbi, who belonged to a noble family from Trieste. The study of the text, illustrated by seventy-seven black and white photos, and four tables featuring sketches by the author, enables not only to add a new element to the critical history of Ludovico Brea but also to reflect on the state of the history of art criticism in Italy at the beginning of the Twentieth century. Particularly research tools used by the scholar belong to Historical and Philological method of the connoiseurship as was formulated by Adolfo Venturi (1856-1941) and Pietro Toesca (1877-1962): beyond the choice of a specific genre as the artist’s monograph, and of a research topic focused on an artist who belonged to a peripheral area of Fifteenth- and Sixteenth-century Italian Art, De Minerbi’s method is characterized by the enhancement of the link between history and criticism, a deep attention to the formal and technical aspects of the paintings in order to identify Brea’s style and to reconstruct his catalogue, distinguishing his hands from those of his followers, and the use of research instruments as archival documents, photography and ink sketches of compositional and iconographic details. Finally, some unpublished letters written by Piero De Minerbi and the director of the Pinacoteca Civica in Savona, Poggio Poggi, between 1938 and 1940, enable to reconstruct the history of this typescripts and the reason of its presence in the archive of the museum.
Un’amicizia (poco) disinteressata: il rapporto tra Vittorio Cini e Bernard Berenson
Authors: Bruzzese Stefano
Published: February 2021

Vittorio Cini (1885-1977) was one of the most voracious collectors of the Italian twentieth century. When he died, his collection, divided mainly between the rooms of the Monselice castle and the Venetian house in Campo San Vio, had passed through thousands of different objects from different periods. Weapons and ivories, miniatures, books, sculptures, but above all old paintings, only partially still preserved under the label of the Cini collection. Paintings almost always of the highest level, chosen with the guidance of the expert eye of connoisseurs – from Nino Barbantini to Federico Zeri – with whom the Count of Ferrara has maintained constant relations. Among these, to Bernard Berenson is always recognized a primary role, given the long years of acquaintance and friendship. But they never investigated properly the start dates and the dynamics of a relationship, first of all staff, which had the necessary and predictable effects on the orientation of the tastes of the collector and its buying and selling opportunities. This study offers an opening in this regard. The comparison between the materials preserved in the archive of Cini heirs, the Giorgio Cini Foundation and the Library of I Tatti, allowed to carry out an initial picture of the true extent and duration of a friendship never too disinterested and suspicious traits, but sincere, which linked Berenson to the entire Vittorio Cini family, and to illustrate with some concrete examples when and how the scholar could intervene with his always sought-after judgment on the purchases made for the collection.
Antonio Morassi, Giulio Carlo Argan, Roberto Longhi e la riscoperta del Caravaggio di casa Balbi a Genova (1939-1952)
Authors: Zavatta Giulio
Published: February 2021

Antonio Morassi’s archive and photographic library kept in the Department of Philosophy and Cultural Heritage of Ca’ Foscari University in Venice preserves a series of documents relating to the rediscovery of the Caravaggio of Casa Balbi, which took place during the World War II. Antonio Morassi had a look to the Conversion of Saint Paul in the Genoese palace of Balbi and studied it to publish it. The picture that Morassi sent to the publishers was however showed to Giulio Carlo Argan, who was also writing a monograph about Caravaggio. Argan pledged to acknowledge the discovery to Morassi. But, Argan published report about the painting in an article in 1943. However, Roberto Longhi intervened, denying that it was a Caravaggio pain- ting. Morassi, who discovered this painting, published it on the Emporium magazine only in 1947, after World War II, is therefore not often recognized as the discoverer of this masterpiece.
Intergranular and Pitting Corrosion in Sensitized and Unsensitized 20Cr-25Ni-Nb Austenitic Stainless Steel
Authors: Clark Ronald N. , Chan Choen May , Steve Walters W. , Engelberg Dirk , Williams Geraint
Published: February 2021

Advanced gas-cooled reactor (AGR) oxide fuels used in the United Kingdom are clad in bespoke grade 20%Cr-25%Ni-Nb austenitic stainless steel. Electrochemistry was first applied to correlate the breakdown potential with chloride ion concentration, temperature, and pH for this alloy. At near-neutral pH the unsensitized material exhibited a linear Eb = A + B log10[Cl−] relationship, where A = 0.7 VSCE and B = –0.098 V/decade. Scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy revealed that grain boundary regions in the heat-treated material were up to 65 mV less noble to the matrix, whereas undissolved niobium carbide (NbC) precipitates were up to 55 mV more noble to the matrix. In situ time-lapse microscopy and postcorrosion observations confirmed that sensitized grain boundaries were susceptible to pitting corrosion, further developing along intergranular corrosion pathways. It has, however, been shown that microgalvanic coupling between the Nb precipitates and matrix and/or sensitized grain boundary regions is not a factor in corrosion initiation as all experiments were performed under external potential control. Postcorrosion observations showed the presence of pits at NbC precipitates promoting grain boundary corrosion. It is postulated that corrosion initiates at NbC precipitates as a pit, and when in close vicinity to Cr-depleted grain boundaries, then propagates along grain boundaries as intergranular corrosion.
Prêmio Nobel como fator de influência nas citações dos pesquisadores: uma análise dos laureados de Química e Física (2005 a 2015)
Authors: Stanford Jailiny Fernanda Silva , Silva Fábio Mascarenhas e
Published: February 2021

Objetivo: Analisa a influência nos índices de citação por parte dos pesquisadores que foram contemplados pelo prêmio Nobel nas áreas da Física e Química no período de 2005 a 2015. Investiga a relação entre ser contemplado com o Prêmio Nobel e o aumento nos índices de citação dos pesquisadores ganhadores do prêmio. Para tanto buscou: a) caracterizar o processo de avaliação de desempenho da premiação Nobel e os índices de citação; b) apresentar os índices de citação dos ganhadores do Nobel; c) identificar se os índices de citação são influenciados pelo prêmio Nobel..Método: Realiza uma pesquisa exploratória e estudo comparativo, tendo como base os estudos de citação para análise e discussão dos dados coletados.Resultados: A premiação Nobel apresenta indícios de influência nos índices de citação dos pesquisadores nas áreas estudadas. Considera que o levantamento das informações teve a finalidade de compreender essa dinâmica na ciência que proporcionou dados sobre a produção científica e pesquisadores através de uma premiação Nobel que tem importância e que coopera para o avanço do saber.Conclusões: As bases Web of Science e Scopus apontam que os pesquisados da área de Física, após serem contemplados com o NOBEL, aumentaram os picos de citação. Porém, na área de Química, na Scopus não é perceptível a influência do prêmio, pois os picos de citação dos pesquisadores antecedem a premiação. Na área de Física, em sua maioria, nota-se o reconhecimento científico pós-premiação por meio dos índices de citação, podendo dizer que a partir da amostra coletada houve relação do Nobel com os índices de citação dos pesquisadores, revelando a visibilidade dos cientistas para a comunidade científica.
Conhecimento Especializado no Domínio da Energia Elétrica: Estudo de caso sobre a aquisição do conhecimento para ontologia
Authors: Duffles Teixeira Livia Marangon , Modesto Murillo Lima , Emygdio Jeanne Louize , Moreira Cristiano , Almeida Mauricio Barcellos
Published: February 2021

Objetivo: o presente artigo aborda a organização do conhecimento no setor elétrico brasileiro, usando ontologias como alternativa.
Método: Descreve-se aqui um processo de aquisição do conhecimento realizado junto a uma grande empresa nacional do setor de energia, destacando as dificuldades, erros e lições aprendidas. A expressão “aquisição do conhecimento” é usada para nomear a etapa do desenvolvimento de ontologias em que a expertise é elicitada e registrada para posterior formalização. Pesquisadores em Ciência da Informação foram treinados a gerar definições formais seguindo um padrão axiomático típico de ontologias. Cada pesquisador recebeu cerca de 50 termos, além de insumos para desenvolver o trabalho, a saber: registros de conhecimento especializado no domínio obtidos via entrevistas com experts, tabelas com listas de processos relativos aos ativos da empresa, ativos esses que eram o escopo da ontologia.
Resultados: a aquisição de conhecimento gerou quase 400 definições em linguagem natural, as quais foram revisadas, adequadas segundo o padrão. Como resultado intermediário, foram obtidos quase 100 termos definidos semiformalmente, que foram então validados.
Conclusões: os resultados parciais do estudo de caso exibem questões – lógicas e terminológicas – verificadas durante a aquisição do conhecimento e validação, as quais merecem atenção, visto que representam uma das primeiras frentes para combater a falta de interoperabilidade entre sistemas. O estudo de caso evidencia ainda lições aprendidas e possíveis melhorias, tanto para o setor quanto para a sociedade, oferecidas pela Ciência da Informação a partir desse tipo de trabalho.

Este artigo objetiva investigar como os professores do Núcleo Docente Estruturante (NDE) de Cursos de Letras de uma universidade pública respondem ao discurso da interdisciplinaridade presente nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais. Os dados empíricos foram obtidos por meio de estudo documental e entrevista coletiva realizada com os professores que integram o NDE. Orientam a pesquisa, pressupostos bakhtinianos, bem como outros aportes teóricos levantados para construir inteligibilidades sobre os dados, favorecendo o debate em torno da formação inicial de professores de língua e das refrações e revalorizações dos princípios e orientações dos discursos legais relacionados à reestruturação de cursos. A análise dialógica permitiu constatar que os embates estiveram presentes no processo de reformulação dos Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos de Letras e que, na construção da proposta curricular, prevaleceram os valores da voz da tradição.
Subverting the chronotope: the Donnie Darko (2001) case
Authors: Kawamoto Marcia Tiemy Morita
Published: February 2021

This paper analyzes the film Donnie Darko (2001) by director and screenwriter Richard Kelly through the theoretical perspective of Mikhail Bakhtin’s (1981) chronotope. The latter defines it as an intermingling between temporal and spatial relations, artistically assimilated in literature (BAKHTIN, 1981), but in this study it is applied to film studies. Gilles Deleuze’s  (1986, 1989) concepts of movement-image and time-image also contribute to the analysis. The film presents sequences of chronotope disruption, which are associated to the main’s characters mental state. Film techniques as parallelism, superimposition and ellipsis contribute to this break in the time and space association. Lastly, the analysis discusses Garret Stewart’s (2007) proposal that the digital cinema contributes to a disruptive cinematography, especially in relation to time-space constructions.
“Tem concerto” para a angústia: a constituição do sujeito ansioso e depressivo nas letras de Clarice Falcão e de Tiago Iorc
Authors: Soares de Moura Thâmara , Vieira da Silva Francisco
Published: February 2021

Considerando que o transtorno de ansiedade e a depressão engendram os discursos contemporâneos e, consequentemente, também atuam na modulação das subjetividades atuais, este trabalho objetiva investigar como ocorre a constituição dos sujeitos que enunciam, ansiosos e/ou depressivos, em letras de músicas de Clarice Falcão (álbum Tem conserto), bem como de Tiago Iorc (álbum Reconstrução). Para tanto, selecionou-se um corpus composto por trechos de duas músicas dos respectivos álbuns. Metodologicamente, trata-se de um estudo descritivo-interpretativo de corpus, com abordagem qualitativa, o qual se embasa, teoricamente, nos postulados foucaultianos (FOUCAULT, 1992, 2008), bem como em outros autores, como Bauman (2005), Giddens (2002) e Caponi (2013). Isso posto, identificou-se que a posição de sujeito que enuncia nas letras, imprime, poeticamente, os efeitos provenientes dos transtornos de ansiedade e depressivo por meio de uma escrita de si, que resulta numa constituição de si que reflete um sujeito angustiado, exausto e desmotivado.

Authors: Pontes Antônio Luciano , Carvalho Daniel Martins de , Almeida Everton Castro de
Published: February 2021

Uma vez que a escrita acadêmica busca criar o efeito de impessoalidade, estudamos o estilo em textos especializados, especificamente em resumos de tese acadêmica. Mais precisamente, investigamos como os pesquisadores escolhem se representar em seus textos. Para isso, realizamos uma análise descritiva e qualitativa de dois resumos de teses das áreas de Ciência da Computação, dois da Linguística Aplicada e dois da Medicina – totalizando seis, portanto – usando as categorias do metadiscurso interacional de posicionamento como evidenciadores do estilo subjetivo nas áreas apresentadas. Como resultados, percebemos que a pressuposta objetividade dos textos especializados se apresenta em gradações e modos distintos.

A documentação da Libras inclui o Inventário Nacional da Libras que integra o Inventário Nacional de Diversidade Linguística (INDL) com o objetivo de documentar a Libras de forma representativa no país. Este artigo apresenta o Inventário Nacional da Libras estabelecido, inicialmente, em Santa Catarina e a sua replicação nos estados de Alagoas, Ceará e Tocantins.  Estes estados passam a ser agentes multiplicadores para a futura replicação do Inventário Nacional da Libras nos demais estados brasileiros garantindo-se, assim, a representação nacional do corpus da Libras estabelecido no escopo do INDL. Este artigo apresenta as diretrizes que norteiam a coleta, o arquivamento e a transcrição de dados, assim como as especificidades da constituição do corpus em cada estado brasileiro nesta primeira etapa de replicação do Inventário Nacional da Libras.

Violencia, desarrollo urbano y espacio público
Authors: Ferrufino Carlos E.
Published: February 2021

El tema de la seguridad ciudadana ocupa, desde hace varios años, el primer lugar entre las preocupaciones de los salvadoreños, según se observa en las sucesivas encuestas. Sin embargo, aunque este asunto ha sido abordado desde diversas ópticas, tales como las políticas públicas de prevención, la vinculación a la pobreza, la relación con las pandillas o con el funcionamiento del sistema judicial, es insuficiente todavía lo que se ha reflexionado acerca de su relación con la ciudad, el desarrollo urbano y los espacios públicos. El presente artículo busca esbozar algunos puntos de relación entre los procesos de urbanización en El Salvador, las deficiencias de espacios públicos y la violencia. Para ello, el texto se divide en tres partes: en la primera, se recorren algunos procesos globales de cambio que vinculan los temas de desarrollo urbano o urbanización, espacios públicos y violencia; en la segunda parte, se intenta caracterizar los rasgos dominantes de los procesos de urbanización en El Salvador, especialmente en los últimos veinte años; y finalmente, en la tercera parte, se intenta señalar algunos puntos críticos de esta relación e incluso proponer algunas intervenciones de espacio público que pudieran traducirse en mejoras de la calidad de vida y de la seguridad ciudadana en San Salvador. Por lo tanto, el trabajo intentará combinar, por un lado, una aproximación teórica global al tema, con una descripción sintética de las condiciones nacionales y locales en el área metropolitana de San Salvador (AMSS) para señalar oportunidades de intervención que pudieran convertirse en acciones de política pública urbana.
