Authors: Sevy-Biloon Julia
Published: May 2022

Virtual and online classes have added a new level of difficulties to teaching and learning EFL. Teachers must constantly work to find innovative and new practices to engage students and help them improve their English language skills. The professor of an upper-intermediate university level cohort in Ecuador has chosen to do action research in her classroom to improve students reading skills, vocabulary building and motivation to achieve the set competencies of the B2 level. Based on previous experiences the teacher chose to implement extensive reading throughout the semester to improve the mentioned areas. The teacher first observed the areas the students needed help in, implemented a new strategy and activities, reflected on those activities, and implemented a final exam to see if students improved in reading and vocabulary. Through qualitative data analysis, the teacher was able to see students were more motivated, they improved in reading and vocabulary, and they were beginning to learn autonomously. The implementation of extensive reading was a success for most of the students to improve their English skills and can be a strategy that can be utilized in the future.

Authors: Dobroshi Veron
Published: May 2022

Robert Elsie is one of the important scholars of the Albanian language, literature, folklore and culture in general. His studies prove the great desire to know closely the Albanian land in its multidimensional aspects. He offers a positive image of Albanian values everywhere in the world. He enabled the world to know more closely the Albanian culture by becoming a model of a foreign researcher who studies the whole aspects of the culture of another country. Elsie also writes a history of Albanian literature starting from its first beginnings until the last decades of the twentieth century. Our study will focus on a certain period of Albanian literature according to the empirical experience of Robert Elsie in the Albanian space. The study aims to specify the main authors of the period from the beginning of the twentieth century to 1944, a year before the communist system was installed in Albania. This period, which spans about three or four decades, is distinguished for the thematic characteristics, forms and prominent names of authors who shed light on Albanian letters until the years before the beginning of an ideological system. The study aims to examine this stage through the research eye of Robert Elsie. How Elsie classifies the authors of Albanian literature in periods, how their literary work is related to the socio-political circumstances in the country and who are the major figures of these decades in Albanian literature are some of the issues that will be analyzed in this study.

Authors: Mayookha Madhusudanan  , Anita Patel
Published: May 2022

Mankind suffers from a lot of conditions which, on the outlook seem very trivial in comparison to the actual suffering arising out of the condition. Kadara is one such condition, which comes under the umbrella of Kshudra rogas. It is a condition with a simple pathology but causing intense suffering to the patient. Kadara can be correlated to Helomas or foot corns. Foot corns have a simple etiopatholgy but most often, difficult to attain a complete cure. Various treatment modalities available presently for the management of corn include the use of salicylic acid paints, cryosurgery, surgical removal of corn, etc. Recurrence is a common issue in almost all the said modalities. Agnikarma is the classical line of treatment mentioned for Kadara. The present article is a review of the available research works in Ayurveda, taken up in the management of Kadara. Majority of the works available have taken Agnikarma (thermal cauterisation) using various Upakaranas (materials) for treatment, with few other works having other modalities like Lepana (paste application), Chedana (excision) & Kshara karma (application of alkali).
Need of Redefining Rasa-Dosha Dynamics - A Cross Sectional Study
Authors: Syamily P  , Vinodkumar M V
Published: May 2022

There are standard descriptions on the relationship between Doshas and Rasa in Ayurveda textbooks. Particular Rasas increase/decrease respective Doshas, so that Rasas become causes of diseases through excess usage. In the other side they classify Doshas having opposite characters. Even when the standard Rasa dosha relationship prevails, in practice it is often observed that such relations are surmounted. Here is an effort to explore such phenomenon. Methodology: 1. Survey was conducted among practitioners with a structured semi validated questionnaire to collect ideas regarding most repeated Dosha in diseases reported at general clinics and to enlist most frequently used Kashaya yogas in general practice. 2. Findings were tabulated. 3. Most frequently used Kashaya yogas were analysed for Rasas of their ingredients and rasa profiles of the formulations were prepared. Results: From the survey it was found that most repeated Doshas among diseases is Vata. Among the most frequently used Kashayas majority belong to Vatahara group. But from the Rasa profiles prepared it was found that most of the ingredients belong to Tikta-kashaya rasa. This finding is contradicted with the conventional Rasa- dosha relationship. Because Tikta-kashaya rasas usually increase Vata. Conclusion: Even though Rasa dosha relationship is vital in Ayurveda, in practice some of the rules are violated.

Aproximación al derecho de emergencia desde la jurisprudencia constitucional
Authors: Blasco Altuna José Andrés , Pérez de Eulate González Begoña
Published: May 2022

La previsión constitucional para afrontar situaciones de emergencia contenida en el art. 116 de la Constitución requiere del acompañamiento de la Ley Orgánica 4/1981, de 1 de junio, integrante del bloque de constitucionalidad, y que ha descrito de forma desglosada las diferentes causas que habilitan para la declaración de cada uno de los estados previstos en la norma constitucional. Sin embargo, el Tribunal Constitucional ha propiciado que los fundamentos para la adopción de dichos estados sean, no tanto las situaciones causales, cuanto los mecanismos para su adopción y control, así como sus efectos. Con ello, el “nuevo” derecho constitucional de emergencia se ordena en torno a la intensidad de las medidas que hay que adoptar, en la función de control del Congreso sobre el Gobierno e, indirectamente, en la pérdida de poder de las comunidades autónomas que ven diluidas sus competencias ordinarias en los casos de emergencia.
Factors Affecting Efficacy of Trunk-Injected Emamectin Benzoate to Manage Emerald Ash Borer
Authors: Sadof Clifford , Gula Scott , Purcell Lindsey , Ginzel Matthew
Published: May 2022

Background: Emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis, is an invasive wood-boring beetle that threatens ash trees (Fraxinus spp.) in the urban forest. Methods: We compared the efficacy at which 3 different injection systems deliver emamectin benzoate (EB) to the leaf canopy and protect trees. Two of the systems, Arborjet Tree I.V.™ and Rainbow Ecoscience Q-Connect™, used sixteen ports/m of trunk circumference, whereas the third system, Brandt enTREE® EB, used eight. Results: The two systems with more injection ports provided more uniform delivery of insecticide to the leaf canopy. Although all 3 injection systems provided excellent control for the first 2 years, only the 16-port injection systems provided protection for up to 3 years. The number of injection ports affected insecticide delivery because the sectorial structure of the ash vascular system limited lateral product diffusion. Additionally, over the course of an 8-year study, we found trunk injections of EB made in the spring provided better control of EAB than fall injections. Protection afforded by a 2013 application in our study failed by 2016 as EAB populations reached their peak. A second application in 2016 extended protection past the peak of EAB abundance through 2019. Conclusions: We conclude that when the same dose of EB is delivered, efficacy of the application is influenced by the number of injection ports used in the injection system, time of application, and the status of the local EAB population. Arborists need to be aware of these factors when planning their EAB management program.

"O Relógio de Ouro”, de Machado De Assis, e suas Traduções para o Inglês: Uma Reflexão sobre a Influência do Capital Cultural
Authors: Pisetta Lenita Maria Rimoli
Published: May 2022

Este artigo é um relato meio anedótico de uma jornada interpretativa que começou casualmente e foi se aprofundando e adensando à medida que traduções do conto original de Machado de Assis intitulado “O Relógio de Ouro” foram sendo conhecidas e comparadas. Dois termos em particular, “nhonhô” e “Iaiá”, têm diferentes soluções tradutórias que acabam influindo no texto de tal modo a mudar o desfecho do conto e sua interpretação como um todo. Uma constatação de que o conto tem uma versão anterior publicada em formato seriado, ou folhetim, acaba conferindo ainda mais complexidade à rede de interpretações. Em algumas instâncias, fica clara a influência do capital cultural, como proposto por Pierre Bourdieu.

Esse trabalho teve como objetivo verificar se há relação entre a relevância dos instrumentos financeiros derivativos para as principais instituições financeiras brasileiras e sua menção nos relatórios dos auditores independentes. A relevância desse estudo se dá na importância da análise e verificação da flutuação dos instrumentos financeiros derivativos, não simplesmente pelo registro, mas em relação às variações existentes no período. Além disso, a complexidade dos instrumentos financeiros, especialmente os derivativos, bem como a subjetividade implícita no processo de mensuração do valor justo para os casos em que não há mercado secundário ativo, aumentam os riscos de distorções relevantes para a auditoria. Para realizar essa pesquisa, foram coletadas as demonstrações financeiras em IFRS e os respectivos relatórios dos auditores independentes, no período de 2014 a 2017, das 20 maiores instituições financeiras do Brasil, por valor de ativo total. Foi aplicada regressão Logit para avaliar a associação a menção a instrumentos financeiros derivativos nos relatórios de auditoria e a relevância desses instrumentos na estrutura patrimonial dos bancos. Os resultados mostram que poucos relatórios de auditoria fazem menção aos derivativos ou ativos financeiros a valor justo. A estimação da regressão mostrou não haver relação estatisticamente relevante entre as variáveis. Adicionalmente, foi constatado que o aumento da menção aos instrumentos financeiros derivativos no relatório de auditoria coincidiu com a implementação do denominado Novo Relatório de Auditoria (NRA), a partir de 2016, em particular com a implementação dos Principais Assuntos de Auditoria (PAA).

Published: May 2022

Esta pesquisa buscou evidenciar os aspectos técnicos tratados por peritos judiciais legalmente habilitados nas diversas comarcas espalhadas pelo judiciário brasileiro, com o enfoque em processos de ações revisionais, onde o objeto da lide fora cédulas de créditos bancárias. A pesquisa apresenta-se de caráter descritivo, contudo, pode se enquadrar também como exploratória, visto que existem poucos estudos e, ainda, a área se caracteriza como incipiente. Para a solução do problema de pesquisa proposto, foram coletados 12 laudos judiciais, extraídos dos autos de cada processo, concentrados em uma empresa de perícia financeira de âmbito nacional. Foram identificados os principais aspectos técnicos tratados em ações revisionais, entre eles a taxa de juros remuneratórios, a capitalização ilegal de juros, os encargos moratórios, bem como da restituição do indébito, tarifas e indenizações por danos morais. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam uma grande discussão a respeito do anatocismo de juros, a taxa de juros remuneratórios e a cobrança de encargos moratórios, caracterizados como comissão de permanência. Outra conclusão extraída da análise é a de que existe uma certa tendência de decisões judiciais a serem favoráveis à parte autora, exclusivamente em processos que a instituição financeira não junta o contrato, objeto da lide, nos autos. O presente estudo abordou uma área pouco explorada a respeito dos aspectos técnicos a serem discutidos na perícia econômico- financeira, sendo um bom ponto de partida para quem se interessa e almeja ingressar na área, auxiliando inclusive, peritos iniciantes no mercado de trabalho.
PROVISÕES E PASSIVOS CONTINGENTES: CARACTERÍSTICAS E RECONFIGURAÇÃO DAS DEMONSTRAÇÕES CONTÁBEIS DAS EMPRESAS DE CAPITAL ABERTO BRASILEIRAS
Authors: Carvalho Borges Bárbara , Rover Suliani
Published: May 2022

A normatização das provisões e dos passivos contingentes é essencial para inibir a assimetria das informações e buscar sua fidedignidade. As provisões e passivos contingentes têm sido foco de notícias no mercado e têm a atenção de pesquisadores que buscam compreender como os gestores tomam decisões sobre esses processos que justificam suas classificações. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as características das provisões e dos passivos contingentes e o reflexo da reconfiguração das contingências nas companhias abertas brasileiras listadas na Brasil, Bolsa e Balcão (B3). Para a consecução do objetivo, realizou-se uma análise abrangente que contemplou as características, as mudanças da chance de perda dos processos e a reconfiguração das classificações. Por meio da análise dos formulários de referências de 2010 a 2019, foram encontrados 7.233 processos. Os processos cíveis e tributários possuem quantidade superior às demais classificações. Foram verificadas 1.118 mudanças na chance de perda, a maior quantidade de alteração da chance de perda foi para a classificação possível, totalizando 402 alterações, e a maior quantidade de alterações nas chances de perda de uma classificação para outra é realizada de possível para remota, totalizando 234 alterações. Com a reclassificação dos passivos contingentes para provisões, muitas das empresas analisadas passariam a ter prejuízo. Concluiu-se, a partir de testes de diferença de média que, a reclassificação das contingências causaria grande impacto no resultado das empresas, o que indica que as empresas devem evidenciar com cautela os riscos a que estão sujeitas.
A falácia naturalista e a derivação de Searle
Authors: Nunes Daniel Pires
Published: May 2022

Neste artigo pretendemos caracterizar a questão da chamada falácia naturalista e avaliar como John Searle a aborda. Para isso, trataremos de forma breve os argumentos de David Hume e G. E. Moore para posteriormente analisarmos como as objeções de Searle à suposta falácia se relacionam com tais abordagens e se obteve êxito.
A implausibilidade da exclusividade do sócio-construtivismo
Authors: Silva Marcos Rodrigues da
Published: May 2022

Ao se apresentar como uma concepção filosófica inclusiva sobre a ciência – por levar em consideração tanto critérios epistemológicos quanto fatores pragmático-sociais, o sócio-construtivismo deixa a sugestão de que sua abordagem pode ser considerada tanto a melhor quanto a única explicação filosófica do sucesso da ciência. O objetivo deste artigo é o de apresentar uma dificuldade a esta pretensão.
As faces da verdade na teoria do intelecto de Aristóteles
Authors: Moura Adriel
Published: May 2022

O objeto deste artigo é o conceito aristotélico de verdade no domínio da intelecção, conforme o De Anima. O problema que se apresenta neste conceito diz respeito à oposição entre a verdade e a falsidade no âmbito dos pensamentos divisíveis e à atribuição única da verdade a pensamentos indivisíveis. Para isso, recorre-se à Metafísica IX, 10, em que a verdade, considerada em si mesma, só se encontra em seres separados de outros seres, à medida que a verdade em oposição ao falso só ocorre em uma relação efetiva entre seres distintos. Também, recorre-se ao estatuto da verdade segundo o De Interpretatione, em que a oposição entre verdade e falsidade se encontra na composição e divisão dos termos da linguagem. Portanto, será tratado aqui como Aristóteles pensou uma concepção de verdade que se comporta em relação a referentes de natureza distinta e como este aspecto influi na constituição de objetos do pensamento.
O atomismo epicurista de Pierre Gassendi contra o substancialismo aristotélico e a metafísica de René Descartes
Authors: Simões Eduardo
Published: May 2022

O objetivo do presente artigo é o de analisar o ressurgimento do atomismo na Idade Moderna, retomado pela filosofia de Pierre Gassendi, e como o mesmo propiciou uma superação da filosofia da substância de Aristóteles, bem como, a metafísica de René Descartes. Trata-se de uma análise histórica, que adota o mesmo procedimento metodológico de “suspensão de assentimento” adotado por Gassendi, mas que, no entanto, tem reflexos importantes para o entendimento do desenvolvimento da ciência, sob o ponto de vista da filosofia materialista seiscentista. Gassendi propõe uma filosofia que dê conta dos fenômenos naturais e supere toda forma de essencialismo e substancialismo, contudo, ainda assim, apega-se às verdades da fé, sob o pretexto de que as mesmas não se chocam com os produtos científicos e com as verdades da razão. Espera-se que o presente artigo, sirva-se como objeto de pesquisa acerca do pensamento do referido autor, visto da diminuta produção acadêmica que se tem a esse respeito no contexto da língua portuguesa.
Claude Lévi-Strauss e a construção dos saberes no pensamento amazônico
Authors: Pinto Marilina Conceição Oliveira Bessa Serra
Published: May 2022

No atual cenário acadêmico brasileiro temos observado a tendência exotizante utilizada como via para compreensão e análise das cosmovisões ameríndias serem substituídas por posturas mais tolerantes frente ao arcabouço de saberes construídos pelos primeiros habitantes do continente. No entanto, ainda é necessário procurar as causas que fazem com que o modo ocidental de organização do pensamento se torne tão refratário a outras formas de racionalidade. Empenhado em construir pontes a fim de aproximar lógicas diferenciadas de entendimento, apoiamos nossa análise nas teses de Claude Lévi-Strauss (1989; 2005), a fim de refletir sobre as peculiaridades constitutivas do pensamento amazônico, de acordo com constatações observadas nos trabalhos descritivo-analíticos de Belota (2012); Amazonense (2013) e Maisel (2014), desenvolvidos na pós-graduação strictu sensu da Universidade Federal do Amazonas. Da breve incursão, conclui-se que a lógica de funcionamento do pensamento primevo se encontra ainda presente nas práticas cotidianas das populações amazônidas. Por fim, sugerimos que a sistematização dos saberes  produzidos deverá servir como base para a construção de políticas públicas voltadas para as redes de ensino em todos os níveis de formação.
Representações inconscientes em Kant: uma reflexão sobre a fantasia musical
Authors: Brito Aline Brasiliense dos Santos
Published: May 2022

Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar e analisar o conceito de representação inconsciente no âmbito estético em Kant a partir do exemplo da fantasia musical. As representações inconscientes constituem um tema debatido por Kant, sobretudo nos escritos de Antropologia e remetem a atividade cognitiva inconsciente presente nas faculdades do entendimento, da razão e imaginação. Na Antropologia de um ponto de vista pragmático e demais compêndios de Antropologia, o tema é destacado sob o ponto de vista estético no que tange a um exemplo particular: a composição da fantasia musical, em exemplo utilizado por John Locke em seus Ensaios para apresentar o ato da improvisação como uma atividade cognitiva que teria seu princípio vital não na atividade inconsciente, mas na associação de ideias. Para além de um exemplo, a recorrência do exemplo em Kant, espelha a sua teorização e compreensão das representações inconscientes estéticas como um campo amplo e positivo.
