The German geschweige denn construction
Authors: Habermann Mechthild
Published: February 2024

The corresponding German construction to English let alone is geschweige denn with a meaning of ‘and even more/less so’. For present-day German, the construction is described as a coordinating conjunction, the use of which is tied to certain usage conditions, such as negative contexts. The construction is idiomatic and can be described as a form-function pairing in a Construction Grammar framework. This paper describes the origin and development of the idiomatic construction from a diachronic perspective. The data analyzed comes from the core corpus of the German Text Archive (Deutsches Textarchiv; DTA), occasionally complemented by the extension corpora of the DTA. It is shown that the construction evolves from verb phrases such as ich geschweige (‘I remain silent’), which are often used with a genitive complement or a dass-clause complement (‘that-clause’). One crucial aspect of the development of the coordinating conjunction is the loss of the filling of the nominative complement, usually ich (‘I’), with geschweige and the loss of ge- prefixes in inflected verb forms, which gradually leads to a change of the verb form to ich schweige, while the conjunction fossilizes the form prefixed with ge-. Furthermore, over time, the coordinating conjunction denn wins against the competition by dann and other words to form geschweige denn. The paper also traces the development of the idiomatic verb phrase ganz zu schweigen von, which happens in parallel to that of geschweige denn.

Published: February 2024

Cyclodextrins (CDs), due to its unique ‘outer hydrophilic and inner hydrophobic’ structure, can be used as excellent carriers to protect active aroma compounds. The hydrodynamic conditions in the reactor substantially influence the characteristics of the cyclodextrin inclusions. Based on this, this study investigated the effects of the impeller type and the rotational speed on the characteristics of the inclusion complexes, meanwhile the corresponding scale-up process was also investigated. Results showed that the pitched blade turbine was the optimum impeller due to better axial flow performance. The average particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), loading capacity and the major aroma concentration of the inclusion complexes prepared at 5 and 120 L reactors did not have significant difference compared to the inclusion complexes prepared at 0.5 L reactor under conditions of geometry similarity and constant power per unit volume, which verified the feasibility of the scale-up rule of the encapsulation process.
Co-inoculation of Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Saccharomyces cerevisiae reduced alcohol content and improved flavor profiles of red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) wine
Authors: Li Yinfeng , Zhang Yuanlin , Liu Xiaozhu
Published: February 2024

Red pitaya (Hylocereus polyrhizus) is cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Red pitaya is rich in nutritional and medicinal ingredients. Oenological yeasts play vital roles in wine fermentation by metabolizing a variety of aromatic compounds that affect the flavor and sensory properties of wine. In this study, we examined the influence of Meyerozyma guilliermondii on the physicochemical parameters, sensory properties, and aroma chemical composition of red pitaya wine co-inoculated with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results showed that mixed inoculation of M. guilliermondii and S. cerevisiae reduced the alcohol content of red pitaya wine. Moreover, using M. guilliermondii and S. cerevisiae as fermentation starters increased the content of volatile alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and other compounds, as well as the types of alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones. In addition, M. guilliermondii did not affect the sensory characteristics of the red pitaya wine. Therefore, co-inoculation of M. guilliermondii and S. cerevisiae was helpful in enhancing the richness and complexity and improving the aromatic flavor properties of red pitaya wine. The results obtained in this study could serve as a reference for the production of red pitaya wine and other fruit wines.

Using cellulosic micro/nanofibrils (MFC/NFC) in developing films for coatings and packaging has aroused industrial interest to replace plastic. This study proposes functionalizing packaging films composed of hybrid suspensions of 80 % titica vine (Heteropsis flexuosa) and 20 % Pinus to improve their mechanical properties. The MFC/NFC were produced by mechanical fibrillation and adding proportions of 1, 2.5, and 5 % of nanolignin, vegetal tannin, and synthetic termite saliva. Both suspensions had concentrations of 1 % (w/w). The MFC/NFC were evaluated for energy consumption, microstructural, and stability, while the films were for physical, optical, barrier, and mechanical properties. Films with nanolignin 2.5 % obtained lower WVP and degradation in water, with greater hydrophobicity and puncture strength. The treatment with tannin 1 % obtained higher density and lower porosity, while termite saliva 1 % presented higher tensile strength at around 53.1 MPa. The additives improved the quality index of the MFC/NFC (>51.1 points). It is concluded that adding different binders can help expand the use of MFC/NFC. New studies are essential to seek pre-treatments or alternative fibrillation methods to increase their application and efficiency for fiber cell wall fibrillation, in addition to the need for a deeper analytical understanding of the interactions of additives with cellulose.
Uncovering hidden determinants of millennial farmers’ intentions in running conservation agriculture: An application of the Norm Activation Model
Authors: Karim Akhmad Rizqul , Darsono Darsono , Harisudin Mohamad , Dharmawan Budi
Published: February 2024

Land degradation in mountainside areas is a serious threat that requires conservation actions, and the role of millennial farmers in this issue is crucial for future agricultural land sustainability. The perception of degraded land condition (LC) and the risk of farming due to ongoing agricultural land degradation (RISK) are suspected to be able to drive the intention to make conservation efforts. Based on the norm activation model, this study aims to analyze the influence of millennial farmers’ perceptions on the condition of degraded agricultural land and the risk of land degradation on their intention to perform conservation-based potato farming (CBPF). This study involved 169 millennial potato farmers on the western slope of Mount Slamet, Central Java, Indonesia. Data were collected using a cross-sectional survey from January to March 2022. The hypothesis was tested using structural equation modeling. The results showed that more than 90% of respondents stated that agricultural land had been degraded. The risk and personal norms (PN) have a significant effect on the intention of CPBF (β = 0.144, β = 0.505; p-value <0.01), respectively. Unexpectedly, LC did not directly affect the intention to practice CPBF (β = 0.076, p-value = 0.159). This study provides insight into understanding the behavioral intentions of agricultural land conservation, especially millennial farmers’ perceptions of land degradation in their farming areas. To encourage the millennial farmers’ agricultural land conservation intentions, it should be started by increasing the awareness of farmers’ PN since they only pay little attention to degraded LC.
As finanças municipais nas reformas urbanas (Rio de Janeiro, 1902-1910)
Authors: MANTUANO T. V.
Published: February 2024

This article deals with the period of urban reforms in Rio de Janeiro, focusing on the finances of the Federal District - an unusual object at the center of this theme, so widely debated by historiography. The central problem proposed seeks to measure and indicate the limits and challenges imposed by municipal finances on the reforming drive of district governments at the dawn of the 20th century. The study's methodology is based on confronting sources that systematically express quantitative information with others that describe and discuss the constitutive processes that outlined municipal finances in the period. In a critical-descriptive appraisal, we analyze the financial resources in their flow into the municipal coffers; we scrutinize the collection, spending and investments; we point out the sources, forms and costs of financing obtained by the municipality of Rio de Janeiro. The text looks for indications of the existence and degree of dependence, not only political, but especially financial, of the capital's government on the federal government. The analytical exercise of statistical tables and yearbooks, legislation and official reports - both municipal and federal - was complexified in the critical perspectives offered by texts and cartoons in periodicals, studies, memoirs and non-governmental reports, thus offering a contribution from Economic History to this subject of such long-standing interest to historians.

Water quality monitoring is an important tool to preserve water resources In this study, the water quality index (WQI) adapted by Environmental Company of the state of São Paulo (CETESB) was calculated and used to classify the water quality of an urban stream in the period between 2002 and 2012. It was used raw data on the concentrations of each WQI parameter. The parameters are: water temperature; total solids; turbidity; dissolved oxygen; biochemical oxygen demand; pH; total nitrogen; total phosphorus and Escherichia Coli. The results showed that the water quality was classified as "Low" or "Very low" in all samples, according to National Agency of Water (ANA) classification. Statistical analyses were performed for each parameter with the purpose of identifying variations over time and between different locations along the stream. The results showed that these variations were identified in those parameters generally related to domestic sewage, i.e.: DO; BOD5 and Escherichia Coli.

Published: February 2024

O estudo enfoca a análise temporal do uso e cobertura do solo na Bacia Hidrográfica do Tarumã-Mirim, próxima a Manaus-AM, utilizando dados de satélite Landsat dos anos 1991, 2001, 2011 e 2021. A delimitação da bacia foi realizada com algoritmos do GRASS GIS, enquanto códigos em JavaScript foram empregados para a classificação do solo. Os resultados revelam uma predominância de floresta na região, mas indicam uma redução de 10% na área florestada ao longo de três décadas. Índices de concordância global e kappa destacam alta precisão na classificação, enquanto o Índice de Transformação Antrópica (ITA) sugere um estado de conservação regular. A delimitação da bacia foi essencial para compreender a dinâmica de uso e ocupação do solo, fornecendo uma base valiosa para estudos de monitoramento ambiental, implementação de políticas públicas e gestão de recursos hídricos na região.

Published: February 2024

The investigation aimed to identify the contribution of traditional knowledge in the construction and management of public policies for biodiversity conservation and adaptation to climate change. It was based on two studies conducted between 2015 and 2017 in two indigenous rural communities situated above 3,910 meters above sea level in the northern Puno region of Peru. The results have been synthesized to generate a proposal for strategic guidelines for high mountain agriculture with a focus on adaptation to climate change. The identified categories of traditional knowledge encompass: a) soil, b) water, c) plant health, d) measures against hailstorms, e) measures against frost, f) organization and ritual, and g) varieties and mixtures tolerant to climatic extremes.

A workspace is the community itself. In the absence of public policies that take into consideration the promotion of traditional knowledge, the community establishes guidelines and actions rooted on traditional knowledge of biodiversity conservation and adaptation to climate change in plans of life aligned with the local worldview, with the aim of escalating to the district level.

Authors: Montes Galbán Eloy , Buzai Gustavo Daniel
Published: February 2024

This study aimed to determine the degree of association between the social map (Synthetic Economic-Housing Index—ISEH) and the level of educational development (Synthetic Educational Index—ISE) modeled for the municipalities of the Lujan River basin. The indices were constructed by applying multivariate analysis methods based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and the Exploratory Analysis of Spatial Data determined their links using a spatial decision support system (SDSS). The result facilitated the contrast of the proposed hypothesis. In this sense, a theoretical statement and a methodological tool are built from the cartography. The analysis highlights the importance of contextual variables and their incidence on educational development indicators since the spatial perspective provides the bases to support spatial decision-making at the municipal management level.
A eficácia do sistema internacional de proteção dos direitos humanos de pessoas imigrantes

Published: February 2024

Migrant workers’ human rights have been brought to the current scope of public law, and their labor character has been prioritized. This movement for migrant workers’ human rights can be highlighted from the perspective of the entry into force of the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families, on 1 July 2003. In this document, two international regulatory texts are merged to strengthen the enjoyment of those rights in these groups of migrant workers: ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

It is worth noting that Costa Rica does not currently take part in this tool; but even so the other countries participating in it have already received high valued effects and implications, especially El Salvador and Guatemala, as it is going to be analyzed in this paper.
Tendencias de la migración intrarregional en Centroamérica
Authors: Cortez Sosa Charleene
Published: February 2024

Central American countries are traditionally perceived as expulsing countries of migrants looking for a dream of progress associated with the possibility of living in a developed country, i. e., North-South migration is being reproduced as the most known migration existing. However, in the last years, South-South migration has augmented as a consequence of the increasing interdependency, the processes of regional integration, and the recognition of common problems. Central America is not the exception. Even in recent years, it has become a region of temporary reception of non-Central American migrants also coming from countries with similar socio-economic conditions. This article presents a general discussion of trends and challenges of the region and how this generates impacts on migration. Problems such as environmental vulnerability, family reunification resulting in unaccompanied children migration, counter-positions in national security policies, and mobility freedom, among others, are aspects present in the current Central American debate, and how migration issue has become relevant in recent years. Actually, this issue went from being just a matter of giving support to the Central American migrant who is leaving to the need of proposing common policies for the care of extra-regional migrants, as well as of returned and deported population.
Imaginários sobre os direitos humanos de imigrantes internacionais no sistema judicial: alguns limites sobre o princípio da universalidade, no caso da Argentina
Authors: González Anahí Patricia
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study is to analyze social representations of members of the legal system about human rights of international immigrants arrived to Argentina in the second half of 20th century. A qualitative methodological strategy was implemented; semistructured interviews to members of the legal institution of Buenos Aires metropolitan area were used. The interviews were transcribed and processed with qualitative criteria by implementing the Strauss and Corbin's (2002) methodology. This article analyses two relevant dimensions: citizens’ rights and migration policies. Among the main findings in the discourse of the subjects interviewed, it can be said that negative social representations about foreign people and their arrival to the country prevail. Even though there is a gradient of opinions whose extremes meet. On the one hand, there are those affirming equality (formal) in the access to all rights for native and migrant population. On the other hand, there are those who propose the priority of access to these rights for native subjects. The principle of universality from a human rights perspective is dwarfed when compared to the position of those who consider the migration control, the restriction of the arrival of migrants, and the closure of national borders as essential

Motivated by sustainability arguments there is a recent interest in forming of advanced structures in paper and paperboard. Therefore, in this paper, hydro-forming of papers and the effect of different fibre raw materials, beating, strength additives (PVAm), grammage and wet and dry papers have been investigated experimentally and numerically. The experiments were carried out in laboratory hydro-forming device. Softwood sheets performed better than hardwood sheets, since they had higher strain at break. The ability of paper to withstand hydro-forming successfully was primarily dependent of the strain at break of the paper in relation to the straining required to fill the mould. Forming of wet sheets were also investigated; overall the wet sheets formed better than the dry sheets, which was due to higher strain at break and lower elastic energy. Since the forming was displacement controlled, there was no significant difference in the effects of beating, amount of PVAm or grammage. Finite element modelling was performed to identify local strains and predict problematic regions. Simulations were also performed to determine how anisotropic sheets would behave, as well as to compare the process of hydro-forming with press-forming. The papers could be strained to higher strain levels than the measured strain at break because the paper is supported by the membrane and mould during the forming operation. The maximum strain a paper can withstand can be increased if the paper can slide into the mould, i.e. by having a lower coefficient of friction between the steel mould and the paperboard. During hydro-forming the paper is supported by a rubber membrane, which gives lower strain levels than the corresponding press-forming operation due to the difference in how the paper is deformed. Press-forming therefore required paper with higher strain at break. Higher friction results in more paper being pulled into the mould, which contributes to wrinkling of the paper. Simulation of tray forming of a creased sample was performed, which showed that high friction or compliant creases decreased the circumferential compression.

Epidural anesthesia is a loco-regional blocking technique used to prevent and control pain in pathological processes and surgical procedures, widely used in veterinary medicine. The present work aims at performing a detailed literature review, preferably of the last twenty years, on the various aspects of this technique, including anatomy of the epidural space and peculiarities in small animals, pharmacology and toxicology of the main local anesthetics used, methods for identifying the epidural space, as well as recommended doses, indications, contraindications, and complications of the procedure. With the development of this literature review, it was found that the volume, concentration, and mass of local anesthetics, in addition to knowledge of anatomy and pharmacology of local anesthetics, plays a key role in the success of the technique. Moreover, it was noticed that, with the advent of ultrasonography, the identification of the epidural space is more accurate, compared to other methods. It was concluded that epidural anesthesia is a safe procedure, but not free of possible complications and side effects, as well as any anesthetic procedure. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate each case individually, always valuing the welfare of the patient.
A case report of association between canine iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism and hypothyroidism
Authors: Ruggero Errante Paolo
Published: February 2024

The canine hypothyroidism corresponds to a hormonal disorder, mainly caused by destruction of the thyroid gland, followed by idiopathic thyroid degeneration or idiopathic follicular atrophy, leading to a low production of the hormones thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The canine iatrogenic hyperadrenocorticism consists of a disorder caused by the prolonged use of corticosteroids for therapeutic purposes, in most cases in allergic processes, such as canine atopy. In this case report, a twelve-year-old female Schnauzer was presented to the clinical facility with signs of apathy, polyphagia and non-pruritic bilateral symmetric alopecia that extended to the tip of the tail but sparing the head and limbs. Other clinical manifestations included polyuria, polydipsia, and bilateral keratoconjunctivitis sicca. The animal was submitted to the blood count, T4, T3, TSH dosage, dexamethasone suppression test, biochemical tests, and imaging tests. Exam results demonstrate the presence of hyperadrenocorticism and hypothyroidism. Since the use of corticosteroids in canine allergic diseases can lead to the development of hyperadrenocorticism, and hypothyroidism corresponds to the most common endocrinopathy in dogs, it is essential that the clinical veterinarian is able to identify these diseases early.

A Qualitative Study of Resident Advocacy Work
Authors: Anderson Hannah L. , Lewis Noreena , Rezet Beth
Published: February 2024

BACKGROUND

Advocacy is a critical component of pediatric training and practice. Pediatric resident advocacy experiences include skill development and real-world projects, but little is known about how pediatric residents participate in advocacy. Without this knowledge, educators run the risk of underpreparing residents for the full scope of advocacy work. This study sought to investigate how residents participate in advocacy by characterizing their projects using an evidence-informed conceptual framework and describing the unique lessons were learned by the residents.

METHODS

The authors used principles of thematic analysis to interrogate existing documents derived from pediatric residents from 2013 to 2021 at 1 institution. They purposefully sampled and deidentified project proposals and written reflections. Using a constant comparative method, they created codes. Codes, connections between codes, and findings were refined by discussion.

RESULTS

Residents demonstrated 4 different types of advocacy: some residents participated in directed agency or activism and others focused on shared agency or activism. Residents reflected on different learning experiences; residents who participated in shared forms of advocacy learned skills such as “Partnering,” “Evaluating,” and “Planning.” Residents who were involved in directed forms of advocacy shared lessons on “Leading,” “Presenting,” and “Intervening.” Advocacy work also changed over time: in later projects (2016–2021) residents took ownership of the role of “advocate”; social and political climate was salient in reflections.

CONCLUSIONS

Pediatric residents advocate through shared activism and agency and directed activism and agency. Educators should recognize, support, and supplement the experiences of residents as they participate in different types of advocacy.

Ekstrak ikan gabus, salah satu sumber albumin preparat oral dapat menjadi alternatif yang efektif dan lebih murah untuk mengurangi risiko kerusakan ginjal pada keganasan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah menganalisis pengaruh pemberian ekstrak ikan gabus terhadap kreatinin dan albumin serum pada pasien radioterapi. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada pasien yang menjalani radioterapi yang dibagi menjadi dua kelompok, kelompok kontrol diberikan plasebo dan kelompok perlakuan diberikan ekstrak ikan gabus. Penelitian dilakukan bulan Juli 2019 di Instalasi Radiologi RSUD Dr. Moewardi. Kadar albumin, ureum, dan kreatinin serum diperiksa sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Hasil penelitian pada kedua kelompok terjadi penurunan kadar albumin serum, walaupun penurunan pada kelompok perlakuan lebih banyak, tetapi perbedaan ini tidak bermakna. Kadar ureum dan kreatinin serum pada kelompok perlakuan terjadi penurunan, sedangkan pada kelompok kontrol terjadi peningkatan, tetapi perbedaan ini tidak bermakna. Kesimpulan, tidak terdapat pengaruh penggunaan ekstrak ikan gabus terhadap kadar albumin, ureum, dan kreatinin serum pada pasien yang menjalani radioterapi.Effect of Snakehead Fish Extract on Creatinine and Albumin Serum levels in Radiotherapy PatientsMost malignancy patients who undergo radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy are accompanied by hypoalbuminemia and kidney injury, especially malignancy of the pelvic region. Human albumin has been known to have nephroprotective effects. Snakehead fish extract, one of the oral albumin sources, can be an effective and cheaper alternative to reduce the risk of kidney injury in malignancies. This study aimed to analyze snakehead fish extract's effect on creatinine and albumin serum level in radiotherapy patients. This study was conducted on patients who underwent radiotherapy and were divided into two groups, the control group was given a placebo, and the experimental group was given snakehead fish extract. Albumin, urea, and creatinine serum levels were checked before and after treatment. Study results showed a decrease in serum albumin levels in both groups. However, the decrease in the treatment group was more than in the control group; this difference was insignificant. Urea and creatinine serum levels decreased in the experimental group, whereas in the control group, there was an increase, but this difference was not statistically significant. In conclusion, the administration of snakehead fish extract has no significant effect on albumin, urea, and creatinine serum level in patients undergoing radiotherapy.

Published: February 2024

Objetiva-se neste estudo identificar em que medida e com que finalidade professores de surdos utilizam-se da contação de histórias e quais são as imagens que constroem dessa prática. Para tanto, um questionário semiestruturado, com questões de múltipla escolha e questões discursivas, obrigatórias e não obrigatórias, foi elaborado no Google Forms e aplicado a professores de surdos. As questões, divididas em seis seções, abordam o perfil do professor e perguntas sobre o contar histórias. Constatou-se que os professores utilizam-se da contação de histórias em Libras com finalidade pedagógica, sobretudo para potencializar o desenvolvimento cognitivo e linguístico dos estudantes surdos. Os resultados indicam ainda que falta uma literatura genuinamente surda nas práticas de contação de histórias.
Compreensão leitora em postagens de grupos de WhatsApp
Authors: Gonzaga dos Santos Emerson , Cabral Borges Vládia Maria
Published: February 2024

Este estudo almejou investigar comoos níveis de compreensão leitora são afetados pelos diferentes tipos de textos postados em grupos de WhatsApp. A pesquisa se fundamentou em autores como Day e Park (2005), Rabello e Tavares (2016) e Wolf (2018) entre outros. Trinta alunos de cursos superiores, entre 18 e 30 anos, participaram de grupos de WhatsApp em que leram e discutiram textos. O propósito era avaliar a compreensão nos seis níveis da taxonomia de Day e Park (2005) a partir dos comentários sobre os textos postados - literal, reorganização, inferencial, predição, avaliação e resposta pessoal. Os comentários tecidos acerca dos textos foram analisados como ‘pertinentes’, ‘tangenciais’ e ‘aleatórios. Detectamos que os níveis de compreensão leitora variaram em função do tipo de texto. Os textos mais curtos geraram maior quantidade de postagens. Os dados permitiram constatar um bom desempenho nos níveis de compreensão leitora dos participantes, acima de cinquenta porcento, exceto no nível de reorganização da informação. Os textos de Notícias Curtas (TNC), de Notícias Longas (TNL) e de Comunicação Interna (TCI) foram os que apresentaram maior quantidade de postagens pertinentes. Por sua vez, os tipos de textos que geraram maior quantidade de postagens tangenciais e aleatórias foram os textos de Notícias Falsas (TNF). Já os textos do tipo Meme e do Tipo Charge (TMC), talvez por serem muito curtos e divertidos, levaram os leitores a interagirem mais com as postagens dos colegas e afugirem das provocações realizadas pelo pesquisador.

Palavras-chave: Postagens em grupos de WhatsApp.  Rede social. Níveis de compreensão leitora.
A BNCC e as garantias do direito à informação para o exercício da cidadania: aspectos centrais para a implementação do letramento midiático e informacional nas escolas brasileiras
Authors: Resende de Carvalho Nathalie
Published: February 2024

Em tempos de desinformação e fake news, o letramento midiático e informacional tornou-se uma necessidade para o estabelecimento das sociedades democráticas e garantias de direitos. Neste sentido, a fim de atender às diretrizes propostas pela Organização das Nações Unidas, a BNCC inclui, no componente de língua portuguesa, o campo de atuação jornalístico-midiático. A BNCC é um documento normativo que trata das aprendizagens em nível nacional. Nela, são apresentadas competências e habilidades que devem ser desenvolvidas pelos alunos ao longo da Educação Básica. Visando à garantia de liberdade de expressão, do direito à informação e do estímulo à cidadania, o documento se posiciona como um elemento contributivo para o alinhamento de políticas e ações que assegurem a formação humana integral e a construção de uma sociedade justa, democrática e inclusiva. Dessa forma, buscamos averiguar, neste artigo, se o caráter normativo do documento, proposto pelo Pacto Interfederativo, prevê uma política nacional sistemática para a implementação do letramento midiático e informacional que assegure a igualdade e a equidade no acesso à escola e ao aprendizado. Os resultados apontam para grande parte das escolas brasileiras que, em 2023, ainda não possuem infraestrutura básica para a implementação do LMI. Logo, constatou-se que o direito à informação e ao exercício pleno da cidadania não são assegurados de forma sistemática na BNCC, levando-nos à reflexão sobre os interesses que envolveram o processo de criação e de homologação do documento.
Dos quadrinhos aos audioquadrinhos: uma análise intermidial
Authors: Machado Garcia Jaimeson , Santaella Lucia
Published: February 2024

Parte integrante de uma pesquisa maior de doutorado, cujo enfoque está nos audiolivros e seus múltiplos aspectos a partir da perspectiva dos Estudos de Intermidialidade, o presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar como os signos linguísticos e imagéticos que constituem a história em quadrinhos enquanto um tipo de mídia são transmidiados para os signos sonoros dos audioquadrinhos. Ou seja, como os painéis, balões de diálogos e outros recursos visuais são transformados e transferidos (Elleström, 2021) para a performance vocal, música e efeitos sonoros. A partir de tal observação, buscou-se demonstrar como tais mídias sonoras são capazes de midiar diferentes formatos de audioquadrinhos. Para isso, foram tomados de exemplo os audioquadrinhos The Boys (2020) e The Sandman (2020), cuja análise mostrou o primeiro como uma alternativa de acesso ao conteúdo da graphic novel por se constituir como uma audiodescrição, enquanto o segundo se trata de um produto diferente por se assemelhar a um filme sem a sincronização das imagens em movimento. Por fim, discutimos as possíveis razões pelas quais os audioquadrinhos ainda são pouco explorados no Brasil, apesar da longa tradição de quadrinhos impressos no país.
Modos de ler, modos de sentir: midialidades sinestésicas
Authors: Ribas Maria Cristina
Published: February 2024

Este estudo focaliza, em uma dimensão teórica, o processo de percepção como forma de leitura, captação e significação, a partir do contato com configurações intermidiáticas. A valorização da experiência, que aqui não se restringe ao seu caráter estético, nos ajuda a pensar a leitura relacional das mídias em sua dimensão sinestésica. A sinestesia é abordada como uma experiência de leitura para suprir a incorporeidade da imagem em contexto digital. Conforme aqui entendida, a experiência não se reduz ao pessoal ou ao impessoal e assim desconstrói tanto os limites estritos da unicidade do sujeito, quanto as determinações de alguma entidade coletiva. Os procedimentos teórico-metodológicos que sustentam essa proposta são a Intermidialidade, com ênfase nas midialidades de Bruhn (2020) e nas modalidades de Elleström (2021). Esperamos que a reflexão, ao se preocupar mais com os processos sutis da percepção do que com o resultado decorrente em sua imediaticidade, ofereça chaves para a leitura relacional das mídias no contexto das transformações e silenciamentos pós-pandemia.
Recursos educacionais abertos: gênero ou hipergênero?
Authors: Lebler Cristiane Dall Cortivo , Maurício Brick Elizandro , Gules Borges Marcelo
Published: February 2024

A educação digital tem se feito presente de forma cada vez mais diversa e consistente, desde o ensino formal até a produção de conteúdos educacionais em redes sociais. Nessas práticas, ganham destaque materiais de ensino-aprendizagem, dentre os quais destacamos os recursos educacionais digitais – ou recursos educacionais abertos (REAs).  Por outro lado, a discussão acerca dos gêneros do discurso tem ganhado cada vez mais relevância e experimentado novos desdobramentos. Assim, considerando a importância que os REAs têm contemporaneamente na educação e a sua complexidade textual e discursiva, este trabalho tem como objetivo geral discutir a sua caracterização no quadro dos gêneros do discurso, mais especificamente sua constituição como gênero ou como hipergênero. Para isso, são mobilizados conceitos teóricos acerca do campo da educação e tecnologia, a exemplo de Castro Filho et al (2008), Santos (2013) Santana, Rossini e Pretto (2012), e dos estudos do texto e do discurso, como Marcuschi (2008), Távora (2008), Bonini (2011) e Bakhtin (2011). Os exemplares usados para análise são REAs produzidos no âmbito do Projeto EPTrilhas, desenvolvido pela Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina em parceria com a Secretaria de Educação Profissional e Tecnológica (SETEC) do Ministério da Educação. Essa análise evidenciou, pelas características do gênero, mídia e suporte, que os REAs multimodais em suporte virtual possuem características que os identificam como hipergêneros.
