Published: June 2021

Abstract: This paper presents a study of correlation between subjects of Diploma in Electrical Engineering (Electronics/Power) at Universiti Teknologi MARA(UiTM) Cawangan Terengganu using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). The analysis was done to see the effect of mathematical subjects (Pre-calculus and Calculus 1) and core subject (Electric Circuit 1) on Electronics 1. Electronics 1 is found to be a core subject with the history of high failure rate percentage (more than 25%) in previous semesters. This research has been conducted on current final semester students (Semester 5). Seven (7) models of ANN are developed to observe the correlation between the subjects. In order to develop an ANN model, ANN design and parameters need to be chosen to find the best model. In this study, historical data from students’ database were used for training and testing purpose. Total number of datasets used are 58 sets. 70% of the datasets are used for training process and 30% of the datasets are used for testing process. The Regression Coefficient, (R) values from the developed models was observed and analyzed to see the effect of the subject on the performance of students. It can be proven that Electric Circuit 1 has significant correlation with the Electronics 1 subject respected to the highest R value obtained (0.8100). The result obtained proves that student’s understanding on Electric Circuit 1 subject (taken during semester 2) has direct impact on the performance of students on Electronics 1 subject (taken during semester 3). Hence, early preventive measures could be taken by the respective parties.

Job Satisfaction as a Mediator between Leadership Styles and Organisational Commitment of Teachers in Malaysia
Authors: Abdul Halim Norhaily , Hassan Aminuddin , Basri Ramli , Yusof Aminuddin , Ahrari Seyedali
Published: June 2021

Abstract: To better understand the organisational commitment of teachers, the current study examined job satisfaction as a mediator between organisational commitment and the three dimensions of leadership, namely transformational, transactional and passive-avoidant. The study involved 381 school teachers in Malaysia, and the multiple-model analysis used showed partial mediation on the negative association of passive-avoidant leadership style with teachers’ commitment to their organisation. The study found a relationship between transformational leadership and organisational commitment through job satisfaction. As expected, job satisfaction also fully mediated between transactional leadership and organisational commitment among teachers, and that teachers who are highly satisfied with their jobs attributed their commitment towards their school to transactional leadership. This study extends the knowledge on the effects of teachers’ leadership styles on their organisational commitments through a mediating factor. Higher education can play an important role in changing pre-service teachers' and future school principals’ mindsets to exhibit transformational and transactional leadership competencies. Therefore, leadership development and training of future school administrators during their tertiary education are important in order to enhance teachers' job satisfaction and commitment.

Published: June 2021

Abstract: Teaching and learning process is constantly transforming due to the ever-increasing globalization. In the educational sector the use of information and communication technology (ICT) is constantly changing due to the increasing trend in globalization. This has resulted in the change and transformation the facet of education in this 21st century. The various usage of technologies and other forms of learning materials that have been extensively used has created a medium where students able to be interactive because it is learner centred, and the environment of online learning is more open and flexible. However, several studies showed that students prefer traditional classroom more because they would prefer face-to-face communication with their instructor. Thus, this study intends to explore the perspective of learning listening and speaking using online among L2 learners. A total number of 102 university students at UiTM Perak Branch took part in this study. They were instructed to answer a set of questionnaires which was created using google document. From the findings the students reported that they do see the benefits of online learning. In addition, they found learning through this interactive medium as interesting and provide them space to progress at their own pace in learning. However, this does not portray students’ eagerness in which may be due to several factors.  This study is hoped to able to highlight the positive aspects of using online as an alternative to the traditional way of teaching listening and speaking.

Published: June 2021

Abstract: A limited number of studies indicate that organizational citizenship behaviour (OCB) have the potential to contribute to organizational and individual performance. Educators who have positive behaviours such as helping behaviour can help facilitate the learning process. With the spread of COVID-19 pandemic which has led to the growth of online learning, OCBs among educators is needed in facilitating  students’ learning process. This study was conducted to examine the practice of OCB among lecturers from an institution of higher learning who are currently using online learning as the platform of teaching.  Based on the input obtained from 136 students, the results found that lecturers are indeed showing high levels of OCB. These students have reported a total of forty behaviours classified as OCB among lecturers. In terms of implications, lecturers’ OCB are seen to be able to support the online learning process which is a new method for most students.

Published: June 2021

The aim of this research is to investigate experimentally the effect of adding shear connectors to the composite deck slabs which have various geometries of steel sheeting. The behavior and resistance of composite slab is basically depending on the development of longitudinal shear resistance. In this study six specimens of composite deck slabs which have different types of geometries of steel sheets (trapezoidal, triangle and T-shapes) with dimensions (1850mm x 500mm x 110mm) were casted and tested under four-point load in presence and absence of shear connectors in order to evaluate the behavior and longitudinal shear resistance of composite slabs. The results show that the adding shear connectors to composite slabs with trapezoidal shape and triangle shape act to increase ultimate load capacity by 22.2% and 17.8% respectively as compared with composite slabs without shear connectors while effect of adding shear connectors to the composite slab with T-shape was very little or can be neglected. As well as the adding shear connectors to composite slabs with trapezoidal shape and triangle shape act to decreasing the deflection as compared with the same load also act to enhance the general performance of slabs
Post-fire performance of structural steel
Authors: Adnan Sulayman Qahtan , Mahmood Mohammed
Published: June 2021

Carbon steel is widely used in building industry. The different structural element might be exposed to high temperature during fire. The structural safety of steel buildings must be evaluated after they have suffered a fire.  The assessment requires understanding the behaviour of carbon steel after heating. Therefore, this paper is aimed at studying the post-fire behaviour of carbon steel. A total of seventeen coupon specimens were tested by uniaxial tensile test. One of them was tested without heating and considered as a reference. Sixteen specimens were heated at a temperature of either 400°C or 700°C for different durations. Eight specimens were cooled in air and the others cooled in water. Heating durations were 30 min, 60 min, 90 min and 120 min. Results showed that the high-temperature has a great influence on decreasing the ultimate and yield stress and elongation for specimens cooled in the air. For specimens cooled in water, the decreased in yield and ultimate stress was minor comparing to the reference specimen. The ductility of water-cooled specimens showed a noticeable reduction comparing to specimens cooled in air. Increasing the heating time results in higher elongation for specimens heated to 400oC and lower elongation for specimens heated to 700oC, but the specimen loses strength in both cases
The Effect of Clustering with a minimum Pattern of Features Extraction for Person Recognition
Authors: Safi Mohammed Ehsan , I. Abbas Eyad
Published: June 2021

In personal image recognition algorithms, two effective factors govern the system’s evaluation, recognition rate and size of the database. Unfortunately, the recognition rate proportional to the increase in training sets. Consequently, that increases the processing time and memory limitation problems. This paper’s main goal was to present a robust algorithm with minimum data sets and a high recognition rate. Images for ten persons were chosen as a database, nine images for each individual as the full version of the training data set, and one image for each person out of the training set as a test pattern before the database reduction procedure. The proposed algorithm integrates Principal Component Analysis (PCA) as a feature extraction technique with the minimum means of clusters and Euclidean Distance to achieve personal recognition. After indexing the training set for each person, the clustering of the differences is determined. The recognition of the person represented by the minimum mean index; this process returned with each reduction. The experimental results show that the recognition rate is 100% despite reducing the training sets to 44%, while the recognition rate decrease to 70% when the reduction reaches 89%. The clear picture out is the results of the proposed system support the idea of the redaction of training sets in addition to obtaining a high recognition rate based on application requirements.
Permeability of Expansive Soils Modified/Stabilized with lime (Review Paper)
Authors: Awad Muwafaq , Al-Kiki Ibrahim , Khalil Amina
Published: June 2021

The aim of this paper was to review the mechanism of the expansive soil-lime reactions: short term and long-term reactions in both lime modification and lime stabilization. The focus of the study was the effect of curing time for a certain centigrade 25C curing temperature in both lime modification / stabilization-expansive soils on the coefficient of permeability. Peer reviewed articles published between 2000- and 2019 were collected and relevant data were extracted. Results of this review study showed that the coefficient of permeability of expansive soils modified with lime increased during the first 7 days of curing time at curing temperature 25C and it remains constant or slightly decreased for longer curing time periods. However, for expansive soils stabilized with lime, it was found that the coefficient of permeability increased during the first 7-day curing time at curing temperature 25C, then decreased during the longer curing time periods (pozzolanic reaction). It is also noted that even though the coefficient of permeability decreased during pozzolanic reaction, it remains higher than that of the untreated soils

Egészségstílusokhoz illesztett, viselkedésváltozást célzó beavatkozások tervezése
Authors: Járomi Éva , Szűcs Erzsébet , Vitrai József
Published: June 2021

Háttér: Hazánkban és a nemzetközi gyakorlatban egyaránt megfigyelhető, hogy az egészségmagatartás megváltoztatását célzó beavatkozások legtöbbször nem érik el céljukat, nem bizonyulnak hatásosnak. Ennek egyik lehetséges oka, hogy a viselkedést többnyire csupán egyetlen ágazat, egyetlen színterén, egyetlen beavatkozás által igyekeznek megváltoztatni, figyelmen kívül hagyva a feladat komplexitását, a viselkedés társadalmi, gazdasági és egyéb környezeti beágyazottságát. Másfajta megközelítést tesznek lehetővé a Nemzeti Egészségfejlesztési Intézet 2015-ben megvalósított Egészségstílus Felmérésének eredményei, hiszen a felnőtt és iskolás korosztály körében azonosított egészségstílusokhoz illesztett beavatkozásokra kínálnak lehetőséget. A közlemény célja annak bemutatása, hogy milyen módszer lehet célravezető az egészségstílusokhoz illesztett beavatkozások azonosításához. Módszer: A módszertan kidolgozásához a célcsoportot a felmérés alapján azonosított korosztályok közül az 5. évfolyamos tanulók lehangolt, nem motivált, külső örömforrásokat keresők csoportja alkotta. A befolyásolni kívánt viselkedés pedig a gyakori szénsavas üdítőital, egészségtelen ételek fogyasztása volt. Az alkalmazott módszer pedig a „Viselkedésváltoztatás kereke” és az annak alapjául szolgáló COM-B modell, mely utóbbit a szerzők – újszerű módon – a célcsoport viselkedését befolyásoló egyéb társadalmi szereplők viselkedését meghatározó tényezők azonosítására is alkalmazták. Eredmények: A fenti módszertan alkalmazásával a kiválasztott célcsoporthoz a szerzők azonosították a viselkedést előidéző és determináló problémákat, az ehhez illeszthető beavatkozásokat, és a hozzájuk kapcsolódó színtereket, valamint a különböző társadalmi szereplőknek a megvalósításban elvárt funkcióit. Következtetések: A szerzők által javasolt módszertannal komplex, több szintű és több társadalmi szereplő bevonásával hatásosnak ígérkező beavatkozások jelölhetők ki. A módszertan hatásosságának igazolása további hatásvizsgálatokat igényel.
Imaging of Noncalcified Ductal Carcinoma In Situ

Published: June 2021

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is a commonly encountered malignancy, accounting for approximately 20% of new breast cancer diagnoses in the United States. DCIS is characterized by a proliferation of tumor cells within the terminal duct lobular unit with preservation of the basement membrane. Typically nonpalpable and asymptomatic, DCIS is most often detected as calcifications on screening mammography. However, DCIS may also be noncalcified. When compared to calcified DCIS, noncalcified DCIS is more likely to be symptomatic, with patients most often presenting with nipple discharge or a palpable mass. Diagnosing noncalcified DCIS is challenging since it may be occult or subtle on mammography, and ultrasound findings can be nonspecific and may be interpreted as benign fibrocystic changes. In cases with a calcified component of DCIS, the extent of DCIS may be underestimated by mammography because not all involved areas may calcify. Breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), although less readily available than mammography and ultrasound, is advantageous in detecting noncalcified DCIS, especially high grade DCIS, which may not develop microcalcifications. MRI relies on abnormal contrast uptake due to tumor vascularity and changes in vessel density and permeability. This pictoral review presents the spectrum of imaging findings of noncalcified DCIS to assist radiologists in accurately detecting and describing its key imaging findings. Utilizing different modalities, we review the differential diagnoses for noncalcified DCIS, show illustrative cases of noncalcified DCIS, and discuss the importance of this entity.
Social Synergy Sukuk (Double-S Sukuk): A Solution for Pandemic Crisis
Authors: Dalhatu Sani Suleiman , Sharofiddin Ashurov
Published: June 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic crisis is projected to plunge over half a billion people (580 million) globally into extreme poverty. This exploratory paper proposes an innovative Social Synergy sukuk (Double-S sukuk) for alleviating the alarming upsurge in extreme poverty triggered by the pandemic in the face of limited resources. The Double-S sukuk is designed with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs); such as Islamic Development Bank subscribing to the sukuk at a discounted profit rate, issued by a country facing the pains of the pandemic. The profit will be paid by a charitable Non-Governmental Organization; such as Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation as an incentive to the crises country contingent upon judicious utilization of the funds for the pre-agreed social targets achieved within timely milestones that trickle down to uplift the citizens from the pandemic pains of extreme poverty. The country will only pay the principal component. Furthermore, a suitable MDB; such as Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) will issue a charitable guarantee to enhance the sukuk rating and cut issuance costs. This enhancement makes the sukuk an attractive BASEL III High-quality-liquid-asset (HQLA). Instead of begging the public for charity, the Double-S sukuk will be open to the public to invest alongside MDBs for a discounted profit rate to crowd-in the social/ethical conscious private sector to raise cheaper and larger funds for an apt synergistic crisis alleviation. The methodology used in this study is qualitative based on content analysis of relevant academic journals, industry reports and policy documents.
Exploring Potentials of Philanthropic Islamic Financial Instruments in Providing Healthcare Services for Underprivileged
Authors: Hassan Rusni , Jamaludin Khairul Fikry , Benaicha Mohamad
Published: June 2021

Philanthropic financial instruments utilize donated funds or assets in order to deliver social services for society. NGOs may not be able to operate the social services efficiently in the absence of such funds. Lately, there are plenty of organizations that have taken initiatives to render social services for targeted populations in order to curb social problems such as poverty, hunger, crimes, etc., through the use of some forms of philanthropic instruments including Islamic social finance, ethical finance, and others. Today, however, philanthropic financial instruments such as socially responsible investment (SRI), social impact bonds (SIB), and even Waqf are issued by financial institutions rather than socially driven institutions. As such, they have been treated as commercial financial instruments rather than socially driven mechanisms. This paper aims to elucidate the potentials of selected modern financial philanthropic instruments that deal with the healthcare sector. The strengths and weaknesses of the selected instruments will be assessed to explore their potentials in serving the healthcare services sector particularly for the underprivileged. The healthcare sector is highlighted as the focus of this study due to its relevance to the present challenge of the Covid-19 pandemic. This is an exploratory study that adopts the qualitative method whereby a rigorous review of the relevant literature is conducted to examine the potential that philanthropic Islamic financial instruments can offer in providing healthcare services to the underprivileged. The findings elaborate on three important models of philanthropic instruments, namely social impact bonds (SIB), development impact bonds (DIB), and takaful-waqf models. It was also found that these philanthropic instruments have varied strengths and weaknesses that require rectification in the future.
Islamic Financial Planning: Towards Sustaining the Financial Wellbeing of Muslim Families in Malaysia Post Covid-19

Published: June 2021

Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, it was reported that over 60% of the people in Malaysia only have enough savings to last them for less than 6 months in the event of loss of income. It is also reported that only 10.8% of urban Malaysian households have enough savings to withstand ‘financial shocks’ resulting from events such as job loss, economic crisis, physical impairment and death. The current Covid-19 pandemic had proven in stronger term that financial preparation is crucial for unpredictable situations such us the financial problems arising from the economic slowdown caused by movement control orders and lockdowns. Many households; especially those whose breadwinners were being laid-off by their companies, or had their salaries cut-off and asked to take unpaid leave – are in difficult financial situation. Only those with minimal debt obligations, steady income stream and enough financial buffer to pay for expenditures for the coming months are not in urgent need of any government assistance. Hence, it is high time to inculcate the knowledge of Islamic financial planning among Muslim families to ensure their wellbeing.
The Impact of Shariah Board on the Performance of Islamic Banks and the Relevance of Shariah Committee (BNM) New Ruling on the Restructuring of Islamic Financing Facility during the Pandemic Crisis
Authors: Haron Razali , Radzali Nur Ermiedza , Nomran Naji Mansour
Published: June 2021

This study examines the impact of Shariah Board (SB) characteristics on the financial and social performance of Islamic banks (IBs) from the perspectives of Agency Theory (AT), Stewardship Theory (ST) and the Resource Dependence Theory (RDT). To meet its objective, GMM is employed on a panel data of 15 IBs in Malaysia from 2010 to 2018 covering the pre and post implementation of IFSA 2013 with three performance measurements; ROA and ROE (financial performance) and Zakat over Equity (social performance). SB education, SB reputation, and SB expertise are positively related to IBs performance; while SB remuneration and SB cross membership are negatively related to performance. SB size is found to be insignificant. The study therefore concludes SB is relevant to the performance of IBs. The study also discusses the response of SB at the central bank (SAC-BNM) via its new ruling on financing restructuring in alleviating the hardship of IBs’ customers during the pandemic crisis.

Neste artigo investigo as contribuições positivas que a filosofia de Schelling fez ao desenvolvimento do pensamento filosófico de Schopenhauer. Deixando de lado a rejeição desta filosofia por parte do Schopenhauer maduro, examinarei algumas ideias que o jovem Schopenhauer (1811-1813), através da leitura e estudo dos livros de Schelling, poderia ter aceitado, reformulado, e incorporado ao seu pensamento filosófico original.
Há Abstração de Si na Origem de toda a Abstração na Filosofia de Espinosa?
Authors: Teixeira Rafael Arcanjo , Rezende Cristiano Novaes de
Published: June 2021

Inserido no contexto histórico de críticas Ã  abstração, Espinosa retoma o tom de sua época e faz severas advertências contra as abstrações. Entretanto, a crítica espinosana se difere da de outros filósofos de sua época ”“ em alguns casos ele próprio chega a criticar alguns filósofos que se dizem contrários Ã  abstração. Acreditamos que a distinção de Espinosa ocorre porque para ele a abstração não é apenas uma metodologia epistêmica (o ato de separar e fragmentar os objetos do conhecimento), nem é o estabelecimento arbitrário de princípios para conhecimento por meio da interferência da vontade no intelecto. Nossa hipótese é que para Espinosa a abstração ocorre quando a força mental produtiva não se encontra enquanto tal; em outros termos: quando a mente não tem consciência do seu próprio produzir ”” é precisamente isso o que chamamos de abstração de si. Nosso artigo visa abordar essa hipótese e apontar como o conceito de abstração de si pode auxiliar-nos na interpretação de algumas teses espinosanas, no caso deste artigo analisaremos a hipótese-retórica que abre o Tratado Teológico-Político.
Dramas da Imanência: Gebhardt, Deleuze, Benjamin e o Infinito Barroco de Espinosa
Authors: Xavier Henrique Piccinato
Published: June 2021

Atravessar três “dramas da imanência” construídos por três filósofos contemporâneos: Carl Gebhardt, Gilles Deleuze e Walter Benjamin, isto é, atravessar três singulares interpretações que relacionam a ideia de imanência presente na filosofia moderna, sobretudo a de Espinosa, com a arte seiscentista, ou seja, a barroca. Mais que dramas, para um olhar espinosano, tais interpretações são tragédias, pois produzem uma teatralidade aporética que dilapida a positividade da ideia de imanência. Da triste tragédia para algo mais feliz, reelaboremos os dramas, procurando desfazer tais aporias, conduzindo-nos Ã  compreensão da positividade “barroca” da imanência em Espinosa.
História e Estrutura: Considerações sobre o Fazer Filosófico a partir de Alguns Modernos
Authors: Rezende Cristiano Novaes de
Published: June 2021

O fio condutor que o presente artigo segue é a oposição, programática para o método de leitura estrutural, entre a interioridade da estrutura e a suposta exterioridade das causas históricas na interpretação dos sistemas filosóficos. Principiando pela caracterização desse método, começa-se pelo comentário ao artigo de V. Goldschmidt “Tempo Histórico e Tempo Lógico na Interpretação dos Sistemas filosóficos”. Tomando esse texto por base, parte-se da oposição feita por Goldschmidt entre história e estrutura, (I.1) primeiramente apresentando a noção goldschmidtiana de tempo histórico; em seguida (I.2), passa-se Ã  noção de tempo lógico; por fim, por meio da contribuição de um texto de Martial Guéroult, (I.3) são tecidas algumas considerações sobre a noção de arquitetônica. Num segundo movimento (II), passa-se a apresentar uma primeira crítica ao método estruturalista através de uma “autocrítica” feita por O. Porchat, um dos primeiros entusiastas e implementadores desse método no Brasil. Finalmente, Ã  guisa de conclusão (III), a exposição encerra-se sugerindo uma outra crítica, inspirada em Espinosa, que simultaneamente revela alguns dos pressupostos lógicos e metafísicos do método estruturalista e abre campo para que se possa pensar uma reintegração entre história e estrutura.
Utilidade e Racionalidade na Economia Neoclássica
Authors: Paes Müller Leonardo André
Published: June 2021

A teoria da utilidade é o fundamento do marginalismo que serve de base Ã  teoria neoclássica. Desde suas origens, na década de 1870, ela passou por diversas transformações: um início hedonista (Jevons), adquiriu contornos ordinalistas (Pareto) que foram radicalizados em meados do século XX, viu a retomada da cardinalidade (von Neumann e Morgenstern), a formulação da teoria da utilidade esperada (Savage) e da hipótese das expectativas racionais. Nesse desenvolvimento histórico, a utilidade e a noção de racionalidade a ela associada foram esvaziadas de qualquer conteúdo psicológico, tornaram-se indissociáveis de cálculos probabilísticos e voltaram-se para o futuro, mas se mantiveram sempre como a pedra fundamental da teoria neoclássica. Essa última, como não poderia deixar de ser, alterou-se profundamente em consonância a essas transformações em seu conceito de base. A interpretação proposta está baseada no arcabouço conceitual de Gilles-Gaston Granger.
Le Fantôme Husserlien de la Modalité chez J. Vuillemin et Gaston Granger
Authors: Lobo Carlos
Published: June 2021

Une «logique du modal» véritablement universelle, qui rende compte de la subjectivité concrète Ã  l’oeuvre dans l’activité scientifique, voilÃ  ce que serait l’âme du «fantôme évanescent de la modalité». Or tel était le projet husserlien de réforme de la logique. Le fantôme husserlien des modalités ainsi entendu surgit dans l’oeuvre de Vuillemin et de Granger lÃ  où l’un et l’autre s’allient pour éliminer le spectre du sujet transcendantal et le priver de toute logique (au moyen de «l’objection-Gödel»). Le retour du fantôme s’opère de manière équivoque, lÃ  où ils s’engagent dans l’élaboration d’une logique pertinente d’un point de vue épistémologique, apte Ã  rendre compte de la pratique scientifique et non de quelque squelette formel ou l’un de ses «reflets idéalisés» correspondant Ã  l’une de ses étapes et Ã  son mode d’existence pour une conscience individuelle ou une société. Les références Ã  Oskar Becker correspondent de ce point de vue avec autant d’apparitions fugaces et équivoques du fantôme d’une logique de la modalité.
Crítica da Finalidade Ã Racionalidade Científica
Authors: Ferreira Rafael
Published: June 2021

A crítica da finalidade expõe os limites da racionalidade científica. Como produto desta, deseja-se interrogar as consequências do objetivismo em sua relação com o afastamento do mundo-da-vida (Lebenswelt). Teremos como ponto inicial uma crítica da razão científica a partir dos fundamentos anunciados por Edmund Husserl no que tange pensar uma fenomenologia da crise. Com efeito, o argumento fenomenológico buscará elementos de que o empreendimento da racionalidade teleológica moderna limitou a própria forma de pensar e fazer ciência e, portanto, conduzindo a humanidade a um abandono do mundo moral. Â Portanto, ao voltar-se para o horizonte vital do mundo-da-vida, se exige a necessidade da própria negação do objetivismo como uma atitude necessária para a renovação.
Religião Redimida pela Razão
Authors: Krieger Saulo
Published: June 2021

O artigo pretende fazer ver até que ponto um certo Esclarecimento não é necessariamente um movimento de combate Ã  religião estabelecida. Pode se revestir mesmo de um impulso para salvá-la, por mais que seu projeto não seja religioso, e sim humanista. Mais precisamente, o texto se propõe a mostrar de que modo salvar a religião de si mesma para emancipar a humanidade pela racionalidade e pela educação seria bem o projeto de Lessing, notadamente em Natã, o sábio. Para tanto, contextualiza-se o cenário intelectual alemão cotidiano Ã  época do autor, cenário este pautado por escritos teológicos, não iluministas, passa-se pelas várias teologias existentes Ã  época na Alemanha e também pelo modo como o próprio Esclarecimento assumia ali dimensão teológica, com Christian Wolff. A maioridade iluminista de Lessing é visitada mediante sua vocação plural, seu gosto pelas querelas e sua argumentação sem posições fixas ou demarcadas, assim como pelas noções de educação e de humanidade.
Similar Ways of Creating Thirdness
Authors: Max Ingolf
Published: June 2021

It is well-known that Kant and Frege offer seemingly exclusive answers to the (epistemo)logical status of equations. Expressions like “7 + 5 = 12” are synthetic for Kant but analytic for Frege. Nevertheless, Kant and Frege have a shared interest: Demonstrating the possibility of grasping a general real by science. Kant’s question is “How is metaphysics as science possible?” Frege answers the question “How is logic as science possible?” Both thinkers are convinced that a precondition for answering their questions consists in the creation of a third concept. But how? Traditionally given mutually exclusive distinctions seem to let no room for such a different third concept. The revolutionary idea is to create basic concepts as molecules(patterns, Gestalten)with a characteristic inner structure opposed to atoms without any inner structure. Such molecules ”“ Kant’s “synthetic judgments a priori” and Frege’s “thoughts” ”“ can be analyzed as2-dimensionally structured intermediate cases.
Intentionality and the Logico-Linguistic Commitment
Authors: Niel Luis
Published: June 2021

The aim of this article is to analyze and criticize Roderick Chisholm’s conception of intentionality, which has, historically, served as the point of departure for most accounts of intentionality in analytic philosophy. My goal is to highlight the problematic ‘logico-linguistic commitment’ presupposed by Chisholm, according to which mental concepts should be interpreted by means of semantic concepts. After addressing Chisholm’s differentiation between the ontological thesis (the idea that the intentional object might not exist) and the psychological thesis (the conception that only mental phenomena are intentional), as well as his defining criteria for intentionality (non-existential implication, independency of truth-value, and indirect reference), I focus on the manifold problems presented by his theory. First, the two initial criteria entail a conceptual confusion between the semantic concept of ‘intensionality’ and the mental concept of ‘intentionality’. Second, according to these criteria””and against Chisholm’s explicit intention””perception and other cognitive activities should not be considered intentional. Third, there are no grounds for the artificial conflation of intentionality and the concept of ‘propositional attitudes’””an equation which is an explicit tenet of the logico-linguistic commitment. In general, I argue that an interpretation of intentionality based on this commitment obscures the true meaning of the concept of intentionality, as it is presented, for instance, by phenomenology.
Representações de letramento na BNCC para o Ensino Fundamental nos componentes curriculares Língua Portuguesa e Língua Inglesa
Authors: Brum Maísa Helena , Fuzer Cristiane
Published: June 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar representações de letramento contidas na Base Nacional Comum Curricular para o Ensino Fundamental nos componentes curriculares Língua Portuguesa e Língua Inglesa da área de linguagens. Fundamenta a análise linguística deste estudo a perspectiva teórico-metodológica da Linguística Sistêmico-Funcional (HALLIDAY; MATTHIESSEN, 2004; 2014), com foco na metafunção ideacional, realizada pelo sistema de transitividade, a qual dá conta da construção da experiência em termos de configuração de processos, participantes e circunstâncias. As análises revelaram quatro representações para o conceito de letramento na BNCC, que são: 1) letramento como ação participativa, 2) letramento como gênero discursivo e digital, 3) letramento como diversidade cultural, e 4) letramento como uso de diferentes linguagens.
Modelização didática do gênero Cantiga de Roda como proposta para o ensino de língua inglesa na Educação Infantil
Authors: Poleze Gerson Anschau , Stutz Lidia
Published: June 2021

Buscou-se, com base no Interacionismo Sócio-discursivo (ISD), construir um modelo didático (MD) do gênero de texto cantiga de roda, nursery rhyme (NR), em língua inglesa (LI). Adicionalmente, foram consideradas as prescrições para a educação infantil (EI), pois evidenciou-se o que os documentos delimitam para o ensino. Para a construção do MD, foi realizada a análise dos parâmetros contextuais, nível organizacional e enunciativo, bem como parâmetros de textualização (MACHADO; BRONCKART, 2009) e elementos não-verbais. Pretendeu-se verificar como o trabalho com NR privilegia os aspectos exigidos nos documentos para a apreensão da linguagem. Observou-se que trazem como aspectos indissociáveis o educar e cuidar, num ensino que deve assegurar os direitos de aprendizagem e desenvolvimento, baseando-se em competências e que demanda que a EI deve primar por uma didática de formação integral, com foco em diferentes conteúdos. Todavia, não contemplam o ensino de língua estrangeira e/ou adicional, não oportunizando Ã s crianças sua formação integral, como demandado. Na questão da análise das NR, foi possível compreender as dimensões do gênero de texto NR e evidenciá-las. Assim, ao trabalhar os elementos ensináveis daquele gênero, seu uso propicia aos educandos tecer relações com a sua realidade e vivências cotidianas, possibilitando aprendizagem, desenvolvimento e inserção sociocultural em LI.
Concepções de adultos recém-escolarizados sobre escrita e letramento

Published: June 2021

Nesta pesquisa, realizada com recém-escolarizados do programa de Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA), buscamos investigar o valor atribuído Ã  cultura da escrita. Desse modo, a questão principal de investigação é: que concepções os egressos da Educação de Jovens e Adultos têm sobre a escrita? Essa é uma questão relevante, pois é importante compreender o ponto de vista desses adultos sobre o cotidiano na sociedade letrada e a avaliação que fazem quanto ao impacto dos estudos no programa educacional em suas práticas sociais. Para tanto, empregamos como encaminhamento metodológico a pesquisa de campo, de cunho qualitativo, a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas com quatro pessoas que frequentaram essa modalidade escolar, e na análise textual discursiva, elencamos os dados em categorias. Como fundamento teórico, consideramos os Estudos do Letramento. Enfim, destacamos os benefícios que os participantes atribuem Ã s suas práticas sociais a partir do aprendizado ou do aprimoramento da linguagem escrita. Por meio desta discussão, pretendemos contribuir para que os estudantes da EJA sejam compreendidos por pesquisadores e educadores, motivando intervenções que favoreçam esse público.
Estratégias de aprendizagem no Teletandem: o que os aprendizes de língua inglesa afirmam fazer para aprender nesse contexto?
Authors: Campos Bruna da Silva , Salomão Ana Cristina Biondo
Published: June 2021

As estratégias de aprendizagem vêm sendo pesquisadas na área de ensino e aprendizagem de línguas há muitos anos, uma vez que o foco passou a ser o aluno e não o professor. Muitas pesquisas enfocaram o aprendiz em sala de aula, haja vista que ela era tradicionalmente entendida como um local de excelência para o ensino de línguas. Entretanto, com o advento das tecnologias digitais, surgiram novas ferramentas e modalidades de aprendizagem, como, por exemplo, a telecolaboração a distância orientada pelas relações interculturais. O contexto dessa pesquisa, o Teletandem, encontra-se diretamente relacionado aos recursos de comunicação síncrona com uso de vídeo e voz, que geram oportunidades de interação oral com falantes da língua alvo em propostas de ensino e aprendizagem a distância. O objetivo geral desta pesquisa foi investigar quais estratégias de aprendizagem foram utilizadas pelos participantes nas interações de Teletandem. A metodologia de pesquisa e os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram de natureza qualitativa. Os resultados revelaram que os participantes investigados afirmam utilizar principalmente as estratégias de aprendizagem dos tipos sociais e metacognitivas, que se relacionam a dois princípios do Teletandem: reciprocidade e autonomia.
