The impact of strategic orientations on service innovation: The moderating effect of technological capabilities
Authors: Yagoub Abker Adam , Gebreil Musa Arafa
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the relationship between strategic orientations and innovation within the Sudanese service sector: hospitality, postal, bank, education, communication, and insurance spheres. Drawing upon the resource-based view, the paper examines the influence of market, service, and learning orientations on both incremental and radical innovation. Moreover, the study explores the moderating role of technological capabilities in this relationship. A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing a convenience sample of 160 managers from various service sub-sectors in Sudan. Empirical findings reveal that market orientation, service orientation, and learning orientation have a significant effect on incremental innovation (estimates = 0.164, p = 0.00; estimates = .177, p = .014). In addition, market and service orientations demonstrate a significant relationship with technological capabilities (estimates = 0.612, p = 0.00; estimates = –.376, p = .018). Further, incremental innovation and radical innovation significantly correlated with technological capabilities (estimates = .131, p = 0.00; estimates = .365, p = 0.00), while service orientation and learning orientation do not have a significant correlation with radical innovation (estimates = .153, p =.129; estimates = .061, p = .491). Learning orientation does not have a significant correlation with technological capabilities (estimates = .168, p > .228). Furthermore, results indicate that technological capabilities do not moderate the relationship between strategic orientation and service innovation.

Prune and Quantize Semantic Segmentation Network for Aerial Objects Recognition
Authors: Nguyen Gia-Vuong , Huynh-The Thien
Published: October 2024

Semantic segmentation of aerial and satellite images is crucial for applications in environmental management, urban planning, and traffic safety. While deep learning techniques with convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and attention mechanisms have achieved superior accuracy compared to traditional methods, they often struggle with model complexity and resource constraints. This paper introduces two novel techniques - pruning and quantization - to enhance both the performance and efficiency of semantic segmentation models for remote sensing images (RSIs). Pruning reduces model complexity by eliminating less significant weights, while quantization decreases memory usage by converting weights into a more compact format. We applied these techniques to the DeepLabV3+ model with ResNet18 and ResNet50 backbones and assessed their performance across multiple RSI datasets. Our results show that pruning and quantization effectively balance accuracy and computational efficiency, achieving a mean IoU of 81.24% with a memory footprint of 135.19 MB for pruning, and 81.04% mean IoU with a memory footprint of 33.79 MB for quantization on the ISPRS Vaihingen dataset. These methods offer a viable solution for deploying semantic segmentation models on resource-constrained hardware.
RAPID DEGRADATION OF MALACHITE GREEN DYE WASTEWATER USING H2O2 UNDER RECYCLABLE SILICA/MAGNETIC NANOCATALYST
Authors: Ning Jingheng , Wei Rui , Sha Liming , Sun Chang , Zuo Qunying , Chen Dong-er , Wei Jiaqian , Hu Qiongcan
Published: October 2024

The discharge of dye contaminant malachite green (MG) into the water environment will seriously affect human health. In this paper, Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared as catalysts using co-precipitation and sol-gel methods, which accelerated the removal of MG by H2O2 over a wide pH range with remarkable results. The degradation mechanism is consistent with the Fe2+-H2O2 Fenton system and the pseudo-first-order kinetic model, and the degradation rate can be increased by 179 times compared with not using this catalyst. When pH ≥ 5, Fe3O4@SiO2 catalyzes H2O2 oxidation of MG for only 10 min to achieve a high degradation rate of 99%, and less than 3 min to achieve a 95% degradation rate. The catalyst can be quickly separated and easily regenerated under an external magnetic field, and a degradation rate of 82% can still be reached after 5 uses. In a word, this work has successfully developed an efficient, green and economic MG wastewater treatment technology.
Cognitive Sphere and Health Self-Control in Teenagers with Type 1 Diabetes
Authors: Shachneva Ksenia I. , Chernov D. N. , Sotnikov Vladislav A.
Published: October 2024

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a complex disease, with self-control playing a key role in its effective treatment. Routine self-control requires high-order cognitive skills, e.g., planning, self-direction, compliance with medical recommendations, etc. All these pose a challenge for teenagers. The model of Responsible Self-Care developed by the World Health Organization takes into account not only health maintenance in diabetic patients, but also their cognitive ability to control their own attitude to treatment in order to achieve glycemic control. This study focused on the correlation between health self-control and neuropsychological profile in teenagers with diabetes. The sample included 38 diabetic patients represented by 13 boys and 25 girls aged 12–17. The study relied on the method of medical documentation analysis and the psychodiagnostic method, including the neuropsychological assessment battery by A. R. Luria and such questionnaires as Multidimensional-Functional Diagnostics of Responsibility, Self-Control Style, Locus of Disease Control, and Self-Efficiency in Disease. The correlation analysis confirmed a direct connection between the cognitive status and responsible behavior in teenagers with diabetes. Poor glycemic control and chronic hyperglycemia were associated with low test results in cognitive abilities, speech fluency, and memory capacity. Cognitive deficiency correlated with insufficient self-control, poor responsibility, and low self-efficiency, as well as with preference for external forms of control locus.

Authors: Kapustina Tatyana V. , Gorshkova Oksana V. , Kadyrov Ruslan V. , Trankovskaya Lidiya V. , Khudchenko Anastasia G.
Published: October 2024

Patient-centered medicine is a relatively new model for planning, implementing, and evaluating healthcare services. It is based on mutually beneficial partnerships between healthcare providers, patients, and their families. However, the existing models of patient-centered healthcare have a number of disadvantages. The article introduces patient-centered healthcare as part of corporate culture adopted by various medical organizations. The authors developed a component model for the empirical study of patient-centered healthcare in terms of corporate culture. It involved five components, i.e., corporate culture, attitude to patient, attitude to work / professional image, adherence to ethical principles, and motivation. The model was tested using assessment methods developed by the authors, as well as using the Questionnaire of Professional Motivation by K. Zamfir as modified by A. A. Rean and the Mouton-Blake Corporate Culture Test. The sample involved 267 medical employees of urban medical organizations, Primorye Region. The respondents demonstrated a general understanding of patient-centered approach, which they interpreted as communication skills with patients. The dominant culture was that of task, which allowed medical staff to achieve their goals through collective decisions and mutual assistance. However, this mutual assistance was mandated to them due to the lack of personnel. The model demonstrated a good potential for yielding psychological and organizational technologies for training, support, and correction of patient-centered issues in medical organizations.

The decline of marine ecosystems poses a substantial threat to the viability of local economies that are reliant on marine life for their continued survival. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are two of the several developing technologies that have the ability to address environmental challenges. In particular, ML may be used to better analyse the oceans, keep track of shipping, maintain track of debris in the ocean, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing, ocean mining, reduce coral bleaching, and stop the spread of marine diseases. In this paper, we examine the rising prospects and concerns related with the application of AI in the maritime environment, as well as their potential scalability for larger results, using some use-cases to illustrate our points. The results that were obtained when the model prediction was applied to random images are evidence that the model that was suggested provides better outcomes with fewer data points.
Understanding and Combating Misinformation: An Evolutionary Perspective
Authors: Bragazzi Nicola Luigi , Garbarino Sergio
Published: October 2024

Misinformation represents an evolutionary paradox: despite its harmful impact on society, it persists and evolves, thriving in the information-rich environment of the digital age. This paradox challenges the conventional expectation that detrimental entities should diminish over time. The persistence of misinformation, despite advancements in fact-checking and verification tools, suggests that it possesses adaptive qualities that enable it to survive and propagate. This paper explores how misinformation, as a blend of truth and fiction, continues to resonate with audiences. The role of narratives in human history, particularly in the evolution of Homo narrans, underscores the enduring influence of storytelling on cultural and social cohesion. Despite the increasing ability of individuals to verify the accuracy of sources, misinformation remains a significant challenge, often spreading rapidly through digital platforms. Current behavioral research tends to treat misinformation as completely irrational, static, finite entities that can be definitively debunked, overlooking their dynamic and evolving nature. This approach limits our understanding of the behavioral and societal factors driving the transformation of misinformation over time. The persistence of misinformation can be attributed to several factors, including its role in fostering social cohesion, its perceived short-term benefits, and its use in strategic deception. Techniques such as extrapolation, intrapolation, deformation, cherry-picking, and fabrication contribute to the production and spread of misinformation. Understanding these processes and the evolutionary advantages they confer is crucial for developing effective strategies to counter misinformation. By promoting transparency, critical thinking, and accurate information, society can begin to address the root causes of misinformation and create a more resilient information environment.
Behavior Change Techniques Used in Self-Management Interventions Based on mHealth Apps for Adults With Hypertension: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (Preprint)
Authors: Zhou You , Li Si-Jia , Huang Ren-Qian , Ma Hao-Ming , Wang Ao-Qi , Tang Xing-Yi , Pei Run-Yuan , Piao Mei-Hua
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Hypertension has become an important global public health challenge. Mobile health (mHealth) intervention is a viable strategy to improve outcomes for patients with hypertension. However, evidence on the effect of mHealth app interventions on self-management in patients with hypertension is yet to be updated, and the active ingredients promoting behavior change in interventions remain unclear.

OBJECTIVE

We aimed to evaluate the effect of mHealth app self-management interventions on blood pressure (BP) management and investigate the use of behavior change techniques (BCTs) in mHealth app interventions.

METHODS

We conducted a literature search in 6 electronic databases from January 2009 to October 2023 for studies reporting the application of mHealth apps in self-management interventions. The Cochrane Risk of Bias (version 2) tool for randomized controlled trials was used to assess the quality of the studies. BCTs were coded according to the Taxonomy of BCTs (version 1). The extracted data were analyzed using RevMan5.4 software (Cochrane Collaboration).

RESULTS

We reviewed 20 studies, of which 16 were included in the meta-analysis. In total, 21 different BCTs (mean 8.7, SD 3.8 BCTs) from 12 BCT categories were reported in mHealth app interventions. The most common BCTs were self-monitoring of outcomes of behavior, feedback on outcomes of behavior, instruction on how to perform the behavior, and pharmacological support. The mHealth app interventions resulted in a –5.78 mm Hg (95% CI –7.97 mm Hg to –3.59 mm Hg; P<.001) reduction in systolic BP and a –3.28 mm Hg (95% CI –4.39 mm Hg to –2.17 mm Hg; P<.001) reduction in diastolic BP. The effect of interventions on BP reduction was associated with risk factors, such as hypertension, that were addressed by the mHealth app intervention (multiple risk factors vs a single risk factor: –6.50 mm Hg, 95% CI –9.00 mm Hg to –3.99 mm Hg vs –1.54 mm Hg, 95% CI –4.15 mm Hg to 1.06 mm Hg; P=.007); the presence of a theoretical foundation (with vs without behavior change theory: –10.06 mm Hg, 95% CI –16.42 mm Hg to –3.70 mm Hg vs –4.13 mm Hg, 95% CI –5.50 to –2.75 mm Hg; P=.07); intervention duration (3 vs ≥6 months: –8.87 mm Hg, 95% CI –10.90 mm Hg to –6.83 mm Hg vs –5.76 mm Hg, 95% CI –8.74 mm Hg to –2.77 mm Hg; P=.09); and the number of BCTs (≥11 vs <11 BCTs: –9.68 mm Hg, 95% CI –13.49 mm Hg to –5.87 mm Hg vs –2.88 mm Hg, 95% CI –3.90 mm Hg to –1.86 mm Hg; P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

The self-management interventions based on mHealth apps were effective strategies for lowering BP in patients with hypertension. The effect of interventions was influenced by factors related to the study’s intervention design and BCT.
Gamification in the Design of Virtual Patients for Swedish Military Medics to Support Trauma Training: Interaction Analysis and Semistructured Interview Study (Preprint)
Authors: Stathakarou Natalia , Kononowicz Andrzej A , Mattsson Erik , Karlgren Klas
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

This study explores gamification in the design of virtual patients (VPs) to enhance the training of Swedish military medics in trauma care. The challenges related to prehospital trauma care faced on the battlefield require tailored educational tools that support military medics’ education and training.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of the study is to investigate how to design VPs with game elements for Swedish military medics to support learning in military trauma care. By understanding the reasoning and perceptions of military medics when interacting with VPs, this study aims to provide insights and recommendations for designing VPs with game elements that are specifically tailored to their needs.

METHODS

The study involved 14 Swedish military medics of the Home Guard–National Security Forces participating in a tactical combat care course. Participants interacted with 3 different VP cases designed to simulate military trauma scenarios. Data were collected through think-aloud sessions and semistructured interviews. The data were analyzed using interaction analysis, structured by the unawareness, problem identification, explanation, and alternative strategies or solutions (uPEA) framework, and reflexive thematic analysis to explore participants’ reasoning processes and perceptions and identify possible game elements to inform the VP design.

RESULTS

Mapping the military medics’ reasoning to the uPEA framework revealed that study participants became more creative after making a mistake followed by feedback and after receiving a prompt to make a new decision. The thematic analysis revealed 6 themes: motivation, “keep on trying”; agency in interaction with VPs; realistic tactical experience; confidence, “I know that the knowledge I have works”; social influence on motivation; and personalized learning. Participants suggested that game elements such as scoring; badges; virtual goods; progress bars; performance tables; content unlocking; hints; challenge; control; imposed choice; narrative; avatars; sensation; randomness; difficulty adapting; competition; leaderboards; social pressure; progression; and renovation can promote engagement, motivation, and support confidence in decision-making.

CONCLUSIONS

Gamification in the design of VPs represents a promising approach to military medical training, offering a platform for medics to practice medical and tactical decision-making in a risk-free environment. The insights gained by the study may encourage designing VPs with game elements, as well as including possibly wrong decisions, their consequences, and relevant feedback, that may support military medics’ reflections and decision-making.
Interdisciplinary strategies to reduce surgical infectious risk in the operating theatre: A scoping review protocol (Preprint)
Authors: Joubert Dominique
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Surgical site infections (SSIs) are among the most common and serious complications following surgery, prolonging hospital stays and delaying patient recovery. Recent international consensus recommendations have identified evidence-based practices to reduce SSIs, but not how to apply them efficiently and in an interdisciplinary manner in the operating theatre. Therefore, further efforts are needed to identify and study the best interdisciplinary organisation to prevent SSIs.

OBJECTIVE

To map the extent, diversity and nature of research on interdisciplinary strategies to reduce SSIs and to analyse the impact of interdisciplinarity on the effectiveness of preventive interventions

METHODS

Using the JBI methodology for scoping reviews, the databases Embase (including MEDLINE and PubMed-not-MEDLINE), Cochrane Library will be searched, with manual searches of references cited in the included articles. Studies published in English or French only will be included.
Inclusion criteria: Based on the Participants, Concept, and Context (PCC) framework, the eligible population will include surgical teams. The concept of interest is interdisciplinary strategies to prevent the risk of infection. The context will be that of adult surgery in the operating room during turnover. Studies with experimental, quasi-experimental, pre-experimental, observational, case-control and cross-sectional designs will be considered.

RESULTS

Of the 1,679 articles identified, 45 were selected for in-depth analysis by four reviewers. The reading of the articles included will be completed by the end of October.

CONCLUSIONS

Emerging interdisciplinary strategies show promising potential to prevent surgical site infections. This approach is part of a global project aimed at co-constructing a standard procedure during preoperative preparation in the operating room to reduce SSI. This literature review will be followed by a qualitative survey and a pre/post quasi-experimental quantitative study to assess its integration into current practice.

CLINICALTRIAL

The review protocol will be registered in Open Science Framework (OSF) on 2024.
Digital health interventions to support physical and/or mental rehabilitation of adult patients following hospital discharge: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials protocol (Preprint)
Authors: Al-Jabr Hiyam , Salt Emma , Stephenson John , Hamdan Esra , Helliwell Toby
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Digital health (DH) interventions have increased across the past two decades, providing patients with alternative remote pathways to receiving healthcare services. Patients with major trauma frequently require long-term access to healthcare services to support their mental and physical health and their overall quality of life. DH interventions could help patients stay connected to rehabilitation services to enhance their health condition and regain their independence to enable them to return to the workplace and/or regain a role in society. There is a need to explore existing evidence on the effectiveness of DH interventions in improving health-related outcomes of patients with major trauma.

OBJECTIVE

This review aims to identify DH interventions that support physical and/or mental rehabilitation of patients who have been subject to major physical trauma.

METHODS

This review targets randomised controlled trials. Eligibility criteria include studies investigating DH interventions in adult patients with major traumatic physical injuries as end users of the intervention. Digital interventions that are delivered remotely and studies that report the impact of DH interventions on patients’ health-related outcomes will be included. The search strategy will be limited to time (since year 2000 to date) and to peer reviewed journals. No language restriction will be used, and articles that are not written in English will be translated. The search will be conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, AMED, CINAHL Plus, and PsycInfo. Grey literature, bibliographies of included studies and of relevant reviews will also be searched for potentially relevant articles. A minimum of two reviewers will independently screen retrieved references. Data extraction will be conducted by one reviewer and independently checked by another reviewer. Quality assessment of included studies will be conducted using the Cochrane RoB-2 tool. Any disagreements arising at any stage of the review will be resolved through discussion or by consulting a third reviewer where needed. A meta-analysis will be performed where possible, and a descriptive analysis of included studies will be reported.

RESULTS

Results will be available on completion of the review.

CONCLUSIONS

The review findings will help identify existing evidence regarding DH interventions used to support physical and/or mental rehabilitation needs of patients with major trauma. This would help guide practitioners and policy makers to implement effective interventions to better support patient outcomes. The evidence synthesised from this review will also identify existing gaps and direct future research.

CLINICALTRIAL

Systematic review protocol is registered at PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (registration reference CRD42023485748).
La inconvencionalidad de artículos constitucionales en México, a partir de las acciones de inconstitucionalidad contra la prisión preventiva oficiosa
Authors: Tapia Hernández Erick Francisco
Published: October 2024

La presente investigación se centra en un tema de la mayor trascendencia para la justicia constitucional, analizar si es viable que puedan existir en nuestro país reformas constitucionales anticonstitucionales o inconvencionales y, en consecuencia, declarar su invalidez. Lo anterior se derivó de una impugnación vía acciones de inconstitucionalidad contra una reforma que aumentaba los supuestos jurídicos de procedencia de la prisión preventiva oficiosa. El ministro ponente presentó un proyecto de sentencia que proponía inaplicar parte del artículo 19 de la Constitución, que contempla la medida cautelar referida, misma que dio lugar a que se discutiera la viabilidad de declarar su invalidez. Finalmente, el proyecto fue retirado por la oposición mayoritaria. Sin embargo, dicho proyecto inició una discusión que en realidad es un hito para el Estado mexicano y que es la posibilidad de declarar una norma constitucional inválida por ser violatoria de la Constitución o tratados internacionales.
Cambio climático, geopolítica y conflictos: un desafío para la seguridad internacional y nacional
Authors: Ibarra Sarlat Rosalía
Published: October 2024

El fenómeno climático es concebido como un “multiplicador de amenazas” que extrema inestabilidades existentes y exacerba conflictos en los ámbitos internacional y nacional, generando el vínculo: cambio climático y seguridad. De ahí que la securitización climática sea integrada cada vez más en las estrategias de seguridad nacional; tal es el caso de Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea. No obstante, en el ámbito internacional es un proceso actualmente en discusión en el Consejo de Seguridad de Naciones Unidas, debido a las graves implicaciones políticas que puede conllevar. En este contexto, este estudio analiza diversas teorías en torno a la evolución del objeto de la seguridad, con la finalidad de determinar las bases conceptuales del proceso de securitización climática, para así determinar cuáles son las amenazas directas e indirectas que se perciben contra la seguridad internacional y nacional; cómo y por qué la crisis climática se convierte en un problema de seguridad, y de qué tipo de seguridad se trata; quién tiene el interés en securitizar este fenómeno, para qué y quién se beneficia. Las respuestas a estas preguntas nos aproximan a dilucidar los pros y contras:  desplazados climáticos y competencia por el control de recursos estratégicos para la transición energética.
Perspectiva ontológica sobre los animales como seres sintientes en Colombia
Authors: Mendoza Chacón Wilkar Simón
Published: October 2024

El presente trabajo aborda la noción de seres sintientes, integrada al sistema jurídico por la Corte Constitucional sin un sustento filosófico o epistémico claro. El objetivo general fue analizar el panorama ontológico del ser sintiente como categorización especial para los animales dentro del régimen jurídico de las cosas en Colombia, el cual fue desarrollado mediante una metodología cualitativa con énfasis hermenéutico. Se comprende que la noción de ser, desde sus distintas acepciones, no es un debate netamente teórico, ya que la precisa consolidación de este concepto determina un rumbo para el pensar jurídico, decisivo en el camino a reconocer la calidad de sujetos de derechos a los animales no humanos, dada su capacidad de sintiencia, pues su protección actualmente está condicionada a la moral humana, además, deriva de considerar a los animales parte del ambiente y no individuos cuasi racionales independientes, impidiendo profundizar en posibilidades normativas de protección a éstos. Del análisis, se concluye que el reconocimiento como seres sintientes es un primer paso en las garantías a favor de los animales; el siguiente sería transitar del Estado social de derecho a un Estado socioambiental de derecho, donde se reconozca al ambiente como eje central para definir los parámetros del bienestar humano y animal, teniendo en cuenta una igualdad entre especies, aunada a la responsabilidad de cuidado que conlleva la racionalidad humana.
"Se podes ver, repara": um olhar sobre o ethos da mulher do médico em "Ensaio sobre a cegueira"
Authors: Almeida Suely , Lima Sueilton Junior Braz de , Paloma da Silva Oliveira  , Gilton Sampaio de Souza
Published: October 2024

O objetivo deste trabalho é investigar o ethos da mulher do médico, personagem do romance Ensaio sobre a cegueira, de José Saramago. O presente artigo fundamenta-se nas categorias teórico-analí­ticas da Nova Retórica de Perelman e Olbrechts-Tyteca (2005), e em estudos como Aristóteles (2005), Reboul (2004), Souza (2003) e Mosca (2001). O corpus é constituí­do por excertos das falas da personagem e recebeu tratamento analí­tico-interpretativista. Pôde-se constatar que o ethos da protagonista é constituí­do por dualidades, oscilando entre a imagem de mulher altiva à imagem de mulher fadada ao fracasso. As oscilações são decorrentes da relação orador-auditório, isto é, o pathos do auditório exige a adaptação do ethos da oradora para que esta continue ganhando credibilidade sobre sua "cegueira". Os resultados deste estudo contribuem para as discussões teóricas e analí­ticas no âmbito da nova retórica, sobretudo nas questões sobre ethos do orador, e sua relação indissociável do auditório, na construção da argumentação.
Uma análise semântico-argumentativa de textos de alunos do 8º ano: o trabalho com o gênero carta do leitor em sala de aula
Authors: Souza André Felipe Pereira de , Brito Áustria Rodrigues
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo discute como é construí­da a argumentação, na produção do gênero carta do leitor, realizada por alunos de uma escola pública de ensino fundamental. O objetivo é verificar como os operadores argumentativos foram utilizados pelos sujeitos de pesquisa nessa escrita, além de observar como o uso adequado dessas ferramentas contribuiu para o propósito comunicativo do gênero exposto. A base teórica que fundamentou o trabalho parte, principalmente, dos postulados de Bakhtin (1997) e Bronckart (2012) para o estudo dos gêneros numa perspectiva sociointeracionista da linguagem. Para discutir sequência textual e argumentação, recorremos í s ideias de Koch (2011), Koch e Travaglia (1993), Marcuschi (2008), dentre outros. O recurso metodológico usado foi uma sequência de atividades sobre a estrutura composicional, o tema e o estilo do gênero carta de leitor. Após essas aplicações, que resultaram nas produções iniciais dos alunos, procedemos uma análise qualitativa dos elementos constituintes da argumentação. Na esteira das constatações desse estudo, verificamos que os textos produzidos ainda apresentam, considerando os elementos da sequência argumentativa, uma argumentação com uso limitado dos operadores ou pouca variação no uso desses elementos linguí­sticos caracterí­sticos de tal sequência. Diante desse cenário, é importante refletir, no contexto da educação básica, sobre a necessária revisão teórico-metodológica para o ensino da argumentação.
Contextos discursivos e pandemia: a construção de objetos de discurso na narrativa bolsonarista
Authors: Teixeira Marques Denise
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo, discutimos a construção de objetos de discurso na narrativa bolsonarista durante o contexto pandêmico de Covid-19, focando na compreensão de quais estratégias são escolhidas na construção do discurso bolsonarista para que ele seja ou não considerado negacionista. Assim, com base nos estudos da linguagem inseridos no campo da Linguí­stica Textual a partir da perspectiva sociocognitiva, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar as estratégias discursivas empregadas por Jair Bolsonaro em dois discursos públicos. Os resultados da análise indicam que a narrativa bolsonarista indicia uma posição negativista por meio de escolhas referenciais sobre a crise global provocada pela pandemia de Covid-19.
Revisão colaborativa de textos argumentativos em plataformas digitais no Ensino Médio da Cedaf/UFV
Authors: De Moura Rocha Sí­lvio Rodrigo
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo é fruto de um trabalho de produção e revisão de textos em plataformas digitais desenvolvido na Central de Ensino e Desenvolvimento Agrário de Florestal (Cedaf), instituição vinculada à Universidade Federal de Viçosa (UFV) com estudantes do terceiro ano do Ensino Médio, cujo objetivo era a construção de textos argumentativos conforme as competências linguí­sticas avaliadas na prova de redação do Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem). Nesse sentido, este artigo cumpre muito mais o papel de relato de experiência docente do que de resultado de pesquisa, já que, à medida que os discentes alcançavam resultados satisfatórios de desenvolvimento das competências linguí­stico-argumentativas, este docente percebeu que a metodologia utilizada em sala de aula, para a condução do processo de escrita dos estudantes, poderia ser estudada com acurácia cientí­fica. Assim, os textos argumentativos dos estudantes foram produzidos considerando-se, metodologicamente, a primeira versão como ponto de partida para processos de revisão colaborativa on-line entre os próprios estudantes, o que engendrou novas versões até que o texto pudesse chegar í s mãos do professor para correção avaliativa. Os resultados aqui apresentados indicam a eficácia do método de revisão entre pares, embora também apontem certa homogeneização das produções após a versão revisada.
O processo de (re)escrita do gênero artigo de opinião com estudantes do 9º ano de uma escola pública de Goiás
Authors: Assis Lara Roberta Silva , Moura Rodrigo Milhomem de , Fernandes Eliane Marquez da Fonseca
Published: October 2024

Por muito tempo, em nossa sociedade, o ensino/aprendizagem de Lí­ngua Portuguesa se caracterizou pelas práticas descontextualizadas do ensino de gramática. Reconhecendo esse aspecto, neste trabalho, temos como objetivos discutir a escrita como uma prática social e dialógica, e analisar duas produções do gênero artigo de opinião e suas respectivas reescritas, produzidas por estudantes do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental. Nosso trabalho está fundamentado na filosofia da linguagem do Cí­rculo de Bakhtin (BAKHTIN, 2011, 2013; SOBRAL, 2009; VOLÓCHINOV, 2017) e nas posições de escrita e reescrita (MENEGASSI, 1998, 2001; FERNANDES, 2007; PASSARELLI, 2012). Para tanto, partimos de um estudo qualitativo-interpretativista (ANDRÉ, 2005; BORTONI-RICARDO, 2008; DENZIN; LINCOLN, 2006).  A pesquisa é um recorte da dissertação de mestrado "Escrita e reescrita: as relações dialógicas entre ensino e aprendizagem", que foi realizada em uma escola pública de Goiânia, em 2019. O gênero discursivo estudado pelos/as educandos/as foi o artigo de opinião e o tema para a produção escrita foi "A prática de bullying e cyberbullying no ambiente escolar". A pesquisa contou com a participação de estudantes de quatro turmas de 9º ano, totalizando, aproximadamente, 120 educandos/as e da professora de Lí­ngua Portuguesa das referidas turmas. Para este estudo, selecionamos apenas dois artigos, a tí­tulo de delimitação. Observamos durante nossas análises dos dois textos, que os/as estudantes conseguiram estabelecer relações dialógicas com a primeira versão da produção, realizando acréscimos, substituições e deslocamentos.
Um relato de experiência com avaliação no ensino de lí­ngua inglesa para crianças
Authors: Silva da Cunha Luana , Quevedo-Camargo Gladys
Published: October 2024

Este artigo insere-se no contexto de ensino de lí­nguas estrangeiras para crianças (LEC). Seu objetivo é apresentar análises e reflexões feitas, durante a realização de um estágio não obrigatório, sobre os momentos avaliativos que ocorreram nas aulas de uma turma de crianças de cinco e seis anos de idade aprendendo inglês em uma escola particular de Brasí­lia/DF. Desenvolvemos um estudo qualitativo (PRODANOV; FREITAS, 2013) com a utilização de notas de campo e memórias feitas durante nove meses de estágio em uma turma de oito crianças durante o ano de 2017. O estudo respaldou-se nas orientações sobre LEC apresentadas em Brown (2000), Scott-Little (2001), McKay (2006), e Malloy (2015). As análises salientam a importância tanto do conhecimento que o professor deve ter sobre o público com o qual trabalha, quanto a clareza dos objetivos de aprendizagem de suas aulas, e indicam que, em um contexto de ensino para crianças de cinco e seis anos, a avaliação de fato efetiva envolveu observações e esteve presente em uma variedade de momentos durante as aulas; as avaliações de caráter tradicional ou administrativo, por outro lado, não levaram em conta as particularidades da faixa etária e acabaram por não cumprir seu objetivo de avaliar.

Com base nos pressupostos metodológicos do Modelo Dialogal da Argumentação (PLANTIN 2008, 2016; GRÁCIO, 2010, 2012), analisa-se a construção da estase argumentativa, ou o conflito de opiniões, nas redações ENEM selecionadas e que se enquadram na situação "˜ferir os direitos humanos"™ das edições de 2015 e 2016. Nessa perspectiva, considerar-se-á a interação entre a banca examinadora e o/a candidato/a e a nota atribuí­da ao/í  estudante tendo como objeto de análise sete trechos de redações Enem 2015 que se enquadraram na situação "ferir os direitos humanos" ao tratarem do tema "A persistência da violência contra a mulher" e outros 9 trechos de redações Enem 2016 no mesmo cenário, cujo tema era "Caminhos para combater a intolerância religiosa no Brasil". Quanto ao alicerce teórico, reúnem-se aspectos da perspectiva dialogal da argumentação, principalmente o conceito de estase argumentativa, retomado por Christian Plantin, bem como os conceitos de topoi e doxai. Tal alicerce foi utilizado para análise dos 16 excertos disponibilizados pelo INEP com o objetivo de verificar como a construção de um ponto de vista que fira os direitos humanos gera a estase argumentativa e, ainda, como ocorre simultaneamente a interrupção de tal estase pelo processo de correção. As correlações aqui percebidas e observadas possuem importância no âmbito discursivo, pois concretizam, a partir dos conceitos mobilizados, uma análise que busca enxergar a imbricação do campo da argumentação com aspectos do Modelo Dialogal, tais como aqueles relativos à constituição dos atores da argumentação e da estase argumentativa.
#Fica espanhol: a nomeação de um movimento
Authors: Werner Kelly Cristini Granzotto , Sturza Eliana Rosa
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo tem o objetivo de analisar a expressão "#Fica espanhol" e os sentidos que circulam em torno de sua ocorrência, a partir de uma perspectiva semântico-enunciativa, especificamente da Semântica do Acontecimento (SA), desenvolvida por Guimarães (2002, 2018) como uma Semântica Histórica da Enunciação (SHE). A expressão será tomada como uma nomeação, um dos conceitos dessa teoria, pois se compreende que ela nomeia um movimento até então inexistente, inaugurando algo novo. O corpus se constitui de um texto em um adesivo, sí­mbolo do movimento, com o enunciado "#Fica espanhol". Já, o gesto analí­tico será desenvolvido através da descrição dos aspectos morfossintáticos e morfofonológicos, do exame do funcionamento semântico-enunciativo e da configuração da temporalidade do acontecimento. Constatamos que a expressão "#Fica espanhol", um sintagma verbal, opera como uma nomeação, fazendo ver o funcionamento do polí­tico, como algo que se estabelece numa distribuição desigual do real, e significa através do movimento de lití­gio que constitui o real.
Discurso e acontecimento: a produção de efeitos de sentido a partir dos dizeres do Papa Francisco

Published: October 2024

Neste trabalho, tecemos algumas considerações sobre o modo como as declarações do Papa Francisco, a respeito do direito de os homossexuais constituírem uma família, repercutem em um momento de polarização da sociedade atual. Estamos referindo ao discurso de Francisco no âmbito do documentário intitulado “Francesco”, que foi divulgado na mídia em outubro de 2020. Nessa esteira, almejamos analisar como esse acontecimento histórico está sendo discursivizado, a fim de compreendermos como ele se constitui e o modo como ele está produzindo sentidos. Para tanto, propomo-nos a analisar os enunciados proferidos pelo Papa, tomando como suporte teórico-metodológico a Análise de Discurso de base materialista pela qual ancoramos as nossas discussões, principalmente a partir das noções de discurso e de acontecimento preconizadas por Michel Pêcheux. Em nossos gestos analíticos, asseguramo-nos que é indispensável se considerar, também, o lugar social dos sujeitos nas suas relações de interlocuções. Nessa circunscrição, tendo em vista o lugar social ocupado pelo Pontífice, salientamos que o seu posicionamento discursivo provocou um movimento de deslocamento de sentidos instituído no âmbito dos processos discursivos produzidos no interior de uma formação discursiva religiosa.
O ritmo no e pelo discurso
Authors: Neumann Daiane
Published: October 2024

Neste artigo, discute-se a noção de ritmo, conforme concebida por Henri Meschonnic, como interpretante antropológico. Para fazê-lo, parte-se da noção resgatada por Émile Benveniste, no texto “A noção de ‘ritmo’ em sua expressão linguística”. Nesse texto, o linguista remonta aos gregos, a fim de reconstruir semanticamente a noção e constata que o ritmo como o conhecemos hoje nasce do pensamento platônico. Essa problematização é retomada por Meschonnic em Critique du rythme: une anthropologie historique du langage, ao debruçar-se sobre tal noção, a partir da consideração da linguagem enquanto uma antropologia histórica. O ritmo é tomado, assim, em relação estreita com o discurso, com a subjetividade.
Far Eastern vector of training management personnel in the system of political party education (1920s – early 1940s)

The authors present an analysis of the historical period of training management personnel in the system of political party educational institutions created by the Soviet government. The formation and development of this new system in the Russian Far East was significantly complicated and restrained by the conditions of the protracted civil war and foreign military intervention, the high level of illiteracy of the local population, the lack of properly trained teaching staff, teaching aids, a small number of management personnel loyal to the new government, and remoteness from the central part and Soviet governmental bodies. The analysis of archival materials, governing party documents and available scientific publications revealed that the systematic work of governmental bodies to create various forms of Soviet-party education focused on training management personnel with political potential to solve key and urgent problems of the integrated development of the Far Eastern territories. The study of the problem helps to expand the existing knowledge about the state Soviet policy in training management personnel, the forms, methods and techniques used, the influence of various factors on the system effectiveness. This is vitally important for identifying historical experience for the current phase of improving management personnel training for state authorities and municipal administrations.
Max Weber's typology of authority in the context of project management
Authors:   MIREA — Russian technological university, Bashmakov D.V.
Published: October 2024

The article is devoted to the relations of power that develop in the conditions of the project form of organization of activities. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the impact of project characteristics on the need for a certain type of authority to effectively manage a team. The article uses Max Weber's typology of authority, and provides a comparative description of each type of authority in relation to the the existing conditions in the project. The need for a traditional type of authority arises in circumstances of strict compliance with the institutional context of the project and with powerful stakeholders. The means of expressing the traditional type of authority in the project is contextual competence in the content as defined by the IPMA standards. The charismatic type of authority is relevant in projects with high uncertainty, requiring creative, unique solutions. This type of authority ensures team cohesion in the confident pursuit of project success. Finally, the bureaucratic type of authority is relevant in standard projects with open regulated interaction of team members. And this type of authority is expressed through the application of professional standards and corporate project management techniques, which is most noticeable in companies with high organizational maturity. The final part of the article presents a semantic differential of types of authority according to the characteristics of the project. As a result of the work, a conclusion was made about the possible combination of all three types of authority in a project in the form of a triad of managerial roles «project sponsor - project manager - head of the project office (or functional manager)».

Published: October 2024

PT XYZ is one of the companies engaged in the mining industry. The company has total coal reserves of 5.8 million tons and produces a coal calorific value of 4900 Kcal/kg GAR. PT XYZ uses a 30-ton class dump truck for overburdened transportation activities. Overburden transportation is transporting material from one location or facility to another. The operation of dump trucks has risks that need to be controlled to minimize work accidents. Truck operators have considerable risks, including bumping, hitting, slipping, falling, and pinched. This study aims to identify potential accidents that can occur and propose preventive measures based on the risk level of each possible accident in the operation of dump trucks using the HIRARC method at PT XYZ. Based on the results of the study shows that the potential hazards experienced by dump truck operators include collisions, pinching, slipping, overturning units, backing units when on an incline, buckets crashing into vessels, grazing other units, low back pain, neck pain, herniated nucleus pulposus, fatigue, loss of control, unprotected operators, collapsed and dragged units, reduced control, loss of control, trapped units, buried units, falling into ravines, damaged units. In addition, the risks experienced by dump truck operators are 6 high risks, 7 medium risks, and 9 low risks. From the overall transportation of overburden material, dump truck operators experienced a high risk of 27%, a medium risk of 32%, and a low risk of 41%.
Índice de vulnerabilidad social de recicladores de Cuenca-Ecuador, en tiempos de crisis
Authors: Luzuriaga Germán
Published: October 2024

El artículo presenta una propuesta metodológica para elaborar un Índice de Vulnerabilidad Social (IVS) enfocado en las y los recicladores de la ciudad de Cuenca-Ecuador, con la finalidad de aportar en la implementación de programas y políticas de protección social para contrarrestar las consecuencias de la pandemia por COVID-19. Para este objetivo, se revisa la definición de vulnerabilidad desde diversos enfoques y como una problemática estructural y multidimensional, enfatizando cuatro aspectos: precarización laboral, acceso inequitativo a servicios sociales, debilitamiento sindical y organizacional, y profundización de la economía informal. Así, se asumen la vulnerabilidad social y la vulnerabilidad laboral como conceptos transversales, mismos que permiten definir como grupo vulnerable a las personas recicladoras a consecuencia de sus condiciones socioeconómicas que determinan su priorización en la política pública, con miras a la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible. La metodología empleada es de carácter mixto incluyendo revisión crítica de literatura especializada y la aplicación del análisis de variables proxy para formular una ecuación que determine el nivel de vulnerabilidad social evaluando 14 criterios desde cuatro dimensiones: personal, familiar, productiva y organizacional. Igualmente, el procesamiento de la información oficial disponible hasta junio 2020 responde a una discriminación positiva en favor de 258 recicladores registrados por la Empresa Municipal de Aseo de Cuenca. En conclusión, es posible establecer que el nivel de vulnerabilidad de dichos recicladores es ALTA, situación que requiere una acción efectiva de las instituciones responsables. En ese sentido, este trabajo aporta un instrumento metodológico original para diseñar políticas públicas multidimensionales en favor de grupos sociales con alta vulnerabilidad social.
