Published: December 2023

This paper describes an Android mobile phone application designed for blind or visually impaired people. The main aim of this system is to create an automatic text- reading assistant using the hardware capabilities of a mobile phone associated with innovative algorithms. The Android platform was chosen for people who already have a mobile phone and do not need to buy new hardware. Four key technologies are required: camera capture, text detection, speech synthesis, and voice detection. Moreover, a voice recognition subsystem has been created that meets the needs of blind users, allowing them to effectively control the appli- cation by voice. It requires three key technologies: voice capture over the embedded microphone, speech-to-text, and user request interpretation. As a result, the application for an Android platform was developed based on these tech- nologies.

Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic is causing millions of deaths worldwide. In West Africa, particularly in Côte d’Ivoire, many cases of illness and death have also been reported. The country has applied the diagnostic method recommended by the World Health Organization based on the detection of the genetic material of the SARS-CoV2 virus using RT-qPCR, which requires native or recombinant positive controls to validate the diagnostics. Recombinant plasmids are used for in vitro amplification in E. coli strains. This study aims to propose a bank of recombinant viral genomes for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2.
A total of fifty (50) positive nasopharyngeal samples have been collected during the pandemic from 2020 to 2022. ARN viral extraction was applied, and the viral targets of Envelope, Membrane, Nucleoprotein, and Glycoprotein Spike were amplified using RT-qPCR methods. The PCR products were cloned to obtain recombinant plasmids.
Our results show positive amplification of the three genes E, M, and N detected with positive rates of 50%, 40%, and 36%. A partial 995 bp fragment of the S gene was amplified at a low rate. 
Recombinant plasmids of SARS-CoV-2 were obtained, 50, 40, and 13 for the E gene, M gene, and N gene respectively. The recombinant plasmids were detected positive by conventional PCR and real-time PCR of SARSCoV-2. The nucleotide sequence of recombinant plasmids shows sequences homologies of 95% to 100% with the Wuhan reference strain for all three genes. This study has provided reliable recombinant plasmids for the diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 in Côte d’Ivoire and offers the way for future studies to diagnostics tools.

Authors: Al Zahran Aladdin , Jamoussi Rafik
Published: December 2023

For many years, researchers have directed their attention primarily toward developing written corpora, with the consequence that spoken corpora have consistently remained rare compared to written ones. The laborious transcription and annotation tasks make creating and maintaining spoken corpora a challenging endeavor. This project aims to build a transcribed corpus of Oman Royal Speeches and make it available online through a custom-made concordance tool. The study also aims to test the corpus for fundamental corpus-based lexical, stylistic, and discourse-analytical implementations. Compiling the Oman Royal Speeches Corpus is meant to fill a gap by contributing to the development of Arabic spoken language corpora and make available a research tool that can facilitate corpus-based research, uses, and applications in various areas of investigation. The corpus-building process underwent a five-stage process, including data capture, data processing, concordance tool development, testing and evaluation, and online deployment. With 98,511 tokens, the resultant corpus represents a searchable archive of Royal Speeches with a built-in online concordance tool that allows multiple search types and Keyword-in-Context query result display. The corpus has been tested for various corpus-analytic uses and has been found to provide significant findings in these areas. Thus, it has the potential to function as a reliable and authentic record and source of information for researchers and specialists in various fields, as well as a research tool allowing for various applications and analyses in language-related topics.

Habilidades dos mediadores para a alfabetização científica na biblioteca escolar
Authors: Alcará Adriana , Bortolin Sueli
Published: December 2023

O artigo aborda a alfabetização científica na biblioteca escolar. Parte do princípio de que a biblioteca escolar é um “terreno fértil” para o estímulo à curiosidade científica e atribui aos diversos mediadores, em especial, professores e bibliotecários a responsabilidade em estabelecer parcerias e promover habilidades e saberes que contribuam na construção do conhecimento infantojuvenil. Nesse sentido, o objetivo do artigo foi apresentar habilidades e saberes dos mediadores na biblioteca escolar, visando a autonomia dos estudantes e sua apropriação da informação científica. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos, utiliza a revisão bibliográfica narrativa, com base no delineamento bibliográfico e documental não exaustivo, com abordagem qualitativa. Dentre os resultados, evidencia-se um conjunto de saberes (conhecimentos, procedimentos, atitudes e valores), que precisam integrar as ações do mediador na alfabetização científica dos estudantes. Conclui que é urgente a necessidade da realização de pesquisas mais aprofundadas quanto às habilidades do mediador, mas também das crianças e jovens. No mesmo sentido, é fundamental promover ações colaborativas entre o professor e o bibliotecário de maneira a incentivar nos estudantes o espírito investigativo.
Ciência da Informação e o pensamento freiriano
Authors: Borges da Silveira João Paulo
Published: December 2023

Paulo Freire é dos educadores mais citados no mundo, tendo atuado em diversos países e com suas obras traduzidas para mais de vinte idiomas. Para o autor, a Educação, enquanto ato político, deve ser libertadora, humanizada e que rompa as barreiras entre oprimidos/as e opressores/as. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho tem por objetivo analisar os Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos (PPC) de graduação da área da Informação (Arquivologia, Biblioteconomia, Ciência da Informação e Museologia) identificando possíveis aproximações com o pensamento freiriano. O estudo se alicerçou nos projetos dos cursos de graduação ativos e em execução, com relação obtida a partir do portal do e-MEC. A partir desses dados procedeu-se levantamento no site de cada instituição, com vistas a obter documentos. Na sequência, realizou-se a leitura e a análise dos projetos, ementas e bibliografias, verificando a presença (ou não) do autor e as possíveis contribuições de seu estudo à constituição de novos/as profissionais. O estudo revelou que dos 80 cursos ativos, 50 disponibilizavam seu PPC. Em 16, Freire é mencionado, como epígrafe, base teórica didático-pedagógica, ementa ou bibliografia. Finaliza-se o estudo pontuando que Freire está presente nos PPC dos cursos da área da informação, porém de forma tímida. Sugere-se, assim, que devem ser realizados eventos, ações e cursos de extensão e aperfeiçoamento para profissionais e estudantes, considerando as contribuições teórico-práticas que o autor pode oferecer à Ciência da Informação.

Authors: Nogueira Júlia Aparecida Devidé , Barros Rafael Ferreira de , Leite Andrea Ferreira , Madeira Francilene Batista
Published: December 2023

Qualidade de vida (QV) se relaciona à satisfação com a vida, saúde e bem-estar. O estudo investigou a QV e fatores associados em estudantes de educação física (EF) de uma universidade pública na capital do Brasil. Utilizou-se o questionário WHOQOL-Bref da OMS, complementado por dados sociodemográficos. Resultados foram expressos como média, desvio padrão e frequência relativa, e testes inferenciais avaliaram diferenças entre grupos, com p<0,05. Dos 220 respondentes, 66,8% referiu sua QV como "nem ruim nem boa”. O domínio ambiente teve menor escore médio, com percepção significativamente pior entre estudantes de menor renda (classe C), que moram em cidades periféricas, e de raça/cor parda. O domínio físico apresentou resultados significativamente piores para mulheres e para raça/cor (índio, amarelo ou outra). Relações sociais foram significativamente piores para raça/cor parda. A QV mediana dos estudantes, com resultados significativamente piores para o domínio ambiental e para o sexo feminino, de menor renda e raça/cor não branca, mostra a necessidade de incorporar a determinação social da saúde e QV às pesquisas. Universidades, enquanto ambientes formativos, articuladores de políticas, onde se estabelecem amplas relações sociais que podem, ou não, ser promotoras da saúde e QV, devem refletir e agir sobre o tema.

Tensões em torno da liberdade religiosa
Authors: GONÇALVES Paulo Sérgio Lopes , FAVRETTO Alexandre Boratti
Published: December 2023

O artigo apresenta como as diversas concepções sobre o tema da liberdade religiosa contribuíram no processo de desenvolvimento da Declaração Dignitatis Humanae do Concílio Vaticano II. As tensões em torno do modo de compreensão do significado da liberdade religiosa apresentam-se fundamentadas epistemologicamente na filosofia, na teologia e nos escritos do magistério da Igreja católica e representadas por grupos de pensadores cuja reflexão tencionava entre ampliar a perspectiva da liberdade religiosa, considerando o diálogo com o mundo moderno, secular e de exigência do diálogo ecumênico e inter-religioso, ou recrudescer o entendimento de liberdade religiosa à esfera católica e de tolerância às outras religiões. Para desenvolvimento da temática, o presente artigo toma o Concílio Vaticano II como evento fundamental para compreensão da liberdade religiosa e divide-se em quatro partes, iniciando com as concepções teológico-filosóficas pré-conciliares, logo depois aborda os debates conciliares dos primeiros dois períodos conciliares, nos quais dá-se a gênese temática da liberdade religiosa, em seguida, os dois últimos períodos enfatizando as tensões em torno do tema e, por fim, analisa a Declaração Dignitatis Humanae no que apresenta sobre o significado e conteúdo do tema da liberdade religiosa para contemporaneidade.

Using data from articles published in 6 credible national media about “bureaucratic reform” from 2010 to 2023. The collected data was classified according to the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) elements in the article: Issue setting, the cause of the issue, plot, character (villain, victim, hero), and recommendations for solutions offered. There were 31 articles analyzed. The result showed that the main plot in the process of bureaucratic reform in Indonesia is based on the corrupt bureaucracy and the slow public service provided. The victims in the plot are the people who will access the services. The villains of the narrative are civil servants who do not improve the required competencies. The heroes of the narrative are several government institutions (Ministry of State Apparatus Utilization and Bureaucratic Reform, Commission of Corruption Eradication, and The Audit Board of The Republic of Indonesia) that are considered to expose the problem.

O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi avaliar se, e em que medida, os valores liberados do Fundo Constitucional de Financiamento do Norte (FNO) influenciaram, no período analisado, as receitas diretas e os índices de desenvolvimento da Região de Integração do Marajó no Estado do Pará. Para a realização da pesquisa, foram coletados os valores liberados pelo FNO, as receitas diretas e os índices FIRJAN de Desenvolvimento, relativos aos 16 municípios que integram esta região; em corte temporal de 2010 a 2016 para os índices FIRJAN e, de 2010 a 2019, para o FNO e as receitas municipais, com tratamento dos dados por regressões em painel. Conclui-se que esta análise trouxe uma complexidade de resultados que antes não foram expostos e que levam a uma necessidade de aprofundamento de estudos para futuras discussões, na busca de soluções para a eficiência das políticas destinadas ao desenvolvimento social do estado do Pará.

In this study, analysis of sales, costs and demands for timber species was carried out in selected timber markets of Plateau State, Nigeria. Association as well as relationship between factors influencing timber sales, costs and demands were investigated, and the dependency of timber sales on factors affecting it was ascertained. Data obtained through administration of 400 structured questionnaires were analysed. Results from the use of descriptive statistics showed that Khaya senegalensis (mahogany) was the mostly demanded timber species by consumers, and that the cost per timber species for most of the sawn woods ranged between N1001 and N1500, which was equivalent to US $2.42–$3.63 using the current conversion rate of Nigerian Naira 413.83 to 1US dollar. Pairwise use of Pearson product moment correlation (PPMC) indicated positive correlation between timber sales and variables representing costs, demands, stored timber and spoiled timber species. F-test statistics showed that timber sales were significantly affected, and t-test aided identification of the extent to which timber sales were affected by costs, demands, stored timber and spoiled timber species. Further analysis of results using multiple linear regression (MLR) gave a model representing dependence of timber sales on factors affecting them. With a positive correlation and relationship between variables, possibility of future increase in timber sales may be experienced due to increase in demand coupled with other factors. Therefore, timber regulatory agencies have to put in place measures to encourage planting of trees such as Khaya senegalensis (mahogany), whose timber species are mainly demanded by consumers of wood products, and curb excessive overexploitation of forests in Plateau State, Nigeria.
Critical Realist Foundations for Berlin Comparative Musicology(vergleichende Musikswissenschaft)
Authors: Verstegen Ian
Published: December 2023

Is it possible to discover the critical realist foundations of Gestalt theory in Berlin comparative musicology (vergleichende Kunstwissenschaft) associated above all with Erich M. von Hornbostel? The balance of natural science explanation and phenomenal experience is a useful model for overcoming Eurocentrism in comparative ethnomusicology, relying both on third-person tools and indigenous music systems. This paper uses Gestalt critical realist epistemology and methodology and a portrayal of the strata making up the understanding of a musical act with chemico-physical, phenomenal and cultural components to create an “amphibian” ethnomusicology. Using this framework it is possible to understand Hornbostel and Sachs’ musical instrument classification system and Hornbostel’s account of “primitive” music as strata in a Gestalt explanatory system. The potential binding agent through the strata is isomorphism.

Authors: Mas Fernando Francisco
Published: December 2023

Este artículo presenta una genealogía del discurso académico del marketing con el propósito de comprender los objetivos gubernamentales actuales de esta disciplina en el contexto del Capitalismo Cognitivo, característico del Capitalismo Postfordista. Se utiliza la perspectiva foucaultiana para explorar cómo las prácticas académico-discursivas del marketing influyen en la subjetividad contemporánea, centrándose en la conducción de la conducta de aquellos que operan en el ámbito del marketing, como profesores, estudiantes, trabajadores y emprendedores. La investigación sugiere que estos objetivos deben ser contextualizados dentro de las transformaciones históricas del régimen productivo del Capitalismo Postfordista. Se concluye que el marketing contemporáneo es una tecnología de gobierno cognitivo que se ha ajustado a tres grandes objetivos: personalizar, relacionarse y construir imaginarios.

Published: December 2023

A gestão da saúde pública no Brasil enfrenta desafios desde o período colonial, culminando no Movimento da Reforma Sanitária e criação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). No contexto das desafiadoras questões históricas relacionadas à gestão dos serviços de saúde, emergem as Organizações da Sociedade Civil de Interesse Público (OSCIPs) que têm adquirido crescente relevância no cenário do desenvolvimento social e na implementação de programas e projetos nas áreas de saúde, sendo notável a celebração de parcerias entre OSCIPs e municípios de Rondônia. Este estudo propõe uma análise da corresponsabilidade dos entes federativos na saúde pública, concentrando-se na descrição das principais ações, explorando as vantagens e desvantagens documentadas na literatura recente relacionadas à adoção das OSCIPs na gestão destas. Com este objetivo foi conduzida uma pesquisa bibliográfica sistematizada, com parâmetros e critérios de inclusão e exclusão descritos e replicáveis, junto à Plataforma de Periódicos da CAPES que obteve como amostra 7 publicações cuja análise do conteúdo utilizou a técnica de saturação de dados, obtendo 5 dimensões nas quais foram agrupadas os conteúdos manifestos em cada publicação, sendo estes posteriormente analisados criticamente sob o escopo da temática abordada no referencial teórico, e cujos resultados possibilitaram observar que as discussões elementares realizadas pelos autores quanto às vantagens e desvantagens da adoção das OSCIPs na gestão local de saúde pública apontam, cada qual sob suas perspectivas, para tendências centrais relativas às questões econômicas, burocráticas e jurídicas implicadas.
