”Føler du dig som dansker, Bilaal?” En analyse af kategoriseringsdynamikker i en dansk fjerde klasse
Authors: Matthiesen Noomi
Published: June 2020

På baggrund af en analyse af samfundsdiskurser om danskhed og islam, undersøger denne artikel, hvorledes disse diskurser genfindes i en dansk fjerde klasses kristendomsundervisning. Artiklen tager udgangspunkt i en aktuel samfundsdebat omkring, hvad der kendetegner danskhed, og viser, at danskhed produceres som modsætning til islam. I analysen af samtalen der udspiller sig i en kristendomstime i en fjerde klasse i en dansk folkeskole, argumenteres der for, at dette modsætningsforhold genfindes hos både lærer og elever. Analysen viser endvidere at i hverdagsklassesamtalen er kategorierne ”nationalitet” og ”religion” såvel som ”sprog”, ”race” og ”hudfarve” uløseligt sammenfiltret på en sådan måde, at det er vanskeligt for de muslimske elever entydigt at producere sig selv som tilhørende den danske nationalitet. Samtidig ønsker børnene at være inkluderet i klassens fællesskab og de navigerer således i spændingsfeltet mellem samhørighed og anderledeshed. Dette skaber et vanskeligt paradoks, der umuliggør, at de entydigt kan svare på spørgsmålet: ”Føler du dig som dansker?”
English abstract
This article argues that there is a national discourse in Denmark where Islam is produced as incompatible or irreconcilable with the national category “Danish”. The article analyzes how this discourse is reproduced in a Danish fourth grade who are learning about Islam. However, in the national discourse the categories “religion” and “nationality” are produced as opposites in a simplistic fashion, whilst in the everyday dialogue found in the classroom it becomes evident how these categories, along with the categories of “race” and “language”, are complexly and intricately interwoven. This complexity produces a doublebind for the Muslim children, who, on the one hand cannot produce themselves as Danish as this is considered in opposition to their religion, but on the other cannot produce themselves as not-Danish as this would produce a marginalized and excluded position in the classroom. It is argued that it is important to support the production of a complex and equivocal national identity for Muslim children in a Danish school context.
Et liv på vent
Authors: Heldal Bøe Aina
Published: June 2020

Dette essayet handler om barn på flukt, sårbare barn som har et særlig behov for omsorg, stabilitet og forutsigbarhet. Barn som er kommet hit alene, omtales som enslige mindreårige asylsøkere. Mange kommer hit sammen med sine foreldre, og en del barn av asylsøkere blir født i Norge. Barn som har bodd sammen med foreldre uten oppholdstillatelse, i mer enn 3 år, omtales som lengeværende asylbarn. Antall asylbarn i Norge varierer fra år til år, avhengig blant annet av hvor mange som kommer, som får opphold og hvor mange som blir sendt ut. Av tilsammen 7001 barn som bodde på asylmottak i Norge pr. 31. 08. 2016 var 3050 enslige mindreårige asylsøkere og ca. 600 lengeværende asylbarn. Mange av disse barna har med seg store traumer fra hjemlandet og flukten. Å måtte bo mange år på asylmottak i Norge og vente på avklaring på asylsøknaden, er også traumatisk for dem. Alle barna, uansett om de kommer sammen med foreldre eller alene, har sine egne rettigheter hjemlet i internasjonale konvensjoner og vårt nasjonale lovverk. Behandlingen av denne gruppen er et omstridt politisk tema og har skapt politisk strid for de fleste norske regjeringer de siste to tiårene. Få saker har til tider skapt så mye engasjement i befolkningen som behandlingen av asylbarn.
Muntlig fortellingsdidaktikk i et lærende praksisfellesskap
Authors: Tørå Karsrud Fridunn , Wangensten Norstrand Anne
Published: June 2020

Vi har undersøkt betydningen av modellæring (Bandura 1986) og praksisfellesskap (Lave og Wenger 2003) for læring av muntlig fortellingsdidaktikk i barnehagen med følgende problemstilling: Hvilken betydning kan modellering av muntlig fortellingsdidaktikk i et praksisfellesskap ha for å sette et barnehagepersonale i stand til å formidle stedsfortellinger? Målsettingen var at de ansatte skulle lære å fortelle muntlig uten tekst og med bruk av rekvisitter. Vi ønsket å modellere en didaktikk som skaper engasjement hos barn og voksne – til barns beste. Vi brukte aksjonsforskning, og det empiriske materialet er hentet gjennom intervju og deltagende observasjon. Funnene viser at både modelleringen og praksisfellesskapet har hatt betydning for personalets læring. De integrerte det de lærte med egne erfaringer og utviklet sin personlige fortellerstil som i høy grad fikk betydning for barnas motivasjon og deltakelse. Slik foregikk det dannings- og læringsprosesser i personalet som fikk innvirkning på deres tenkemåte og praksis.
English abstract
We have researched the significance of modelling (Bandura 1986) and the community of practice (Lave and Wenger 2003) for learning oral storytelling in kindergarten with the following research question: What significance can modelling of storytelling didactics in a community of practice have for enabling the employees in a kindergarten to convey the stories of the local community? Our focus was storytelling without the use of written texts, and with the use of props. We wanted to model a didactic that engages both children and adults – for the benefit of the children. We used action research as our method, and the empirical material was the result of interviews and observations. Our findings show that both modelling and the community of practice were important for the employees’ learning and development. They integrated their own experiences and developed their personal style of storytelling. In this way, there was a learning process and a development among the employees that influenced their way of thinking and acting.
Å gjøre demokrati i barnehagens kommunikative fellesskap: En studie av de yngste barna sitt språk, barnehagen sin relasjonelle og romlige kvalitet og dets betydning for de yngste barna sin tilgang og meddelelse av livsverden i barnehagen
Authors: Kristoffersen Winje Annette
Published: June 2020

Denne artikkelen bygger på en kvalitativ studie fra en småbarnsavdeling i Norge. Målet er å løfte frem nye perspektiver knyttet til de yngste barnas tilgang til meningsskaping og demokratisk deltakelse i barnehagens ulike kommunikative fellesskap. Gjennom analyse og tolkning har jeg forsøkt å finne mening i de yngste barnas kroppslige og nonverbale språk ved å benytte reanalyse som hermeneutiskfenomenologisk metode (Gadamer1 1960/2010; Heaton 2008). Inngangen til fenomenet kroppslige og nonverbale språk forstår jeg ut fra Maurice Merleau-Ponty2 (1945/1994) sin kroppslige fenomenologi. Artikkelen bidrar med ny kunnskap knyttet til de yngste barnas virkeliggjøring av demokrati i barnehagen, ved å fokusere på barnehagens relasjonelle rom for sosial interaksjon (Gehl 2010).
English abstract
This article is based on a qualitative study within the setting of early childhood education in Norway. The aspiration has been to highlight new perspectives related to children’s access to creating meaning and participation within various communicative communities. Through analysis and interpretation, I have tried to find meaning in the bodily and non-verbal language of toddlers. This has been done by reanalyzing a hermeneutic-phenomenological method (Gadamer 2010; Heaton 2008). I approach the topic of bodily and non-verbal language by applying Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s (1945/1994) bodily phenomenology. This study develops new knowledge regarding how toddlers can make democracy real within the setting of early childhood education, by focusing on spatial and social interaction (Gehl 2010).

Published: June 2020

The analysis carried out in this research had as objective the development
of a process for the bench-scale production of biodiesel. The reaction was
produced by the alkaline transesterification method, in which the reagents
were subjected to a temperature of 60 ± 2°C, maintaining constant mechanical
agitation. From a factorial experimental design, we evaluated the maximum
and minimum levels of three variables: catalyst, molar ratio, and reaction
time, combining their effects without altering the response quality, verifying
the yields, and interpreting the possible variations based on statistical
treatments to justify which one has the best performance. As the main
point, two alcohols were used, one imported (methanol) that underwent a
high-quality process, and another with a large national production capacity
(ethanol). The research emerges as a way to reinforce the statement that
biodiesel is one of the solutions to mitigate environmental impacts and
socioeconomically contribute to the country. However, the production cost 
is higher than that of diesel derived from petroleum; thus, ensuring the best process conditions will decrease the operational costs and the costs for the end consumer. The variable with the most influence was the amount of catalyst for the synthesis of ethyl and methyl biodiesel. However, the yields for the B2 and B8 tests did not show a significant difference at the 5% level according to the Tukey test, and the highest yield was achieved by the B7 test (97.44%), using methanol at a 1:9 molar ratio and 0.5% catalyst in 90 minutes of reaction. After the research to determine the best process conditions to promote the production and use of biofuel, we concluded that the methyl route led to more satisfactory results and higher yields.
ASSOCIATED FACTORS WITH ANTS OCCURRENCES IN URBAN SCHOOLS
Authors: Lutinski Junir Antônio , Guarda Carin , Busato Maria Assunta
Published: June 2020

Schools consist of environments that offer favorable conditions for nesting by
ants. This study aims to identify the factors associated with the occurrence
of ants in four environments at schools located in urban areas. Sampling
was conducted in kitchens, warehouses, dining rooms, and outdoor areas
in twelve schools in four cites in the western region of the State of Santa
Catarina, Brazil. For sampling, baits and manual collection were used.
The environmental variables were obtained in each environment. Similarity 
between schools regarding ant composition and abundance was assessed
by a Non-metric Multidimensional Scaling. We sampled 1,478 specimens
of ants and identified 45 species. Similarities (60%) were observed in the
abundance and composition of ant assemblages among schools in small
towns (Caxambu do Sul, Guatambu, and Palmitos).The presence of outdoor
areas with vegetation and green areas in the surroundings, size of constructed
area, and frequency of insect control event contribute to the abundance
of these insects in the schools environments. Ants are not recognized as
potential vectors of pathogenic microorganisms in schools and are neglected
if considered the periodicity of insect control.
Adjectives exist, adjectivisers do not: a bicategorial typology
Authors: Mitrović Moreno , Panagiotidis Phoevos
Published: June 2020

This paper examines how adjectives are derived within a featural system comprising only two categories. It argues that adjectivisers, a heads, do not exist, leaving the repertory of categorisers with two members only: verbalisers, v heads, and nominalisers, n heads. We proceed to argue that the adjective category is possibly universal insofar as it involves prima facie dual categorisation: adjectives obtain when a root or an already categorised element combines with a complex categorial structure, one that involves both a verbaliser and nominaliser. This proposal is supported by grammar-internal evidence (viz. the external modification of adjectives by adverbs and the nominal character of their internal structure) and by broader typological facts (the distribution of which follows from our analysis). Several consequences and predictions are beneficially derived.

Published: June 2020

Aim of study: This study assesses acute stress by measuring, through infrared thermography in summer and winter, the temperature of the eye, outer ear, inner ear and nose in 40 fattening rabbits before and after handling.Area of study: Seville (Spain).Material and methods: Body thermographic temperatures were recorded during a 38-day fattening period twice weekly and twice a day, before and after the handler held the rabbits in their arms for one minute. Ambient temperature and relative humidity were also recorded, and their influence on body temperatures was assessed. For each anatomical part, the variation of the temperature between the handled and undisturbed rabbit, and the differential temperature between the anatomical part in the undisturbed rabbit and the ambient temperature were calculated.Main results: The variation in temperatures between handled and undisturbed rabbits ranged from 0.25±0.041 ºC for eye to 3.09±0.221 ºC for outer ear in summer and -0.41±0.182 ºC for nose to 2.09±0.178 ºC for outer ear in winter. The day of the fattening period influenced all the temperature traits during summer and winter, except for the inner ear in winter. In summer, unlike winter, the temperature variation at the end of fattening period between handled and undisturbed rabbits was lower than at weaning (-0.04 to 1.94 ºC vs. 0.54 to 5.52 ºC, respectively). The temperatures in undisturbed rabbits were correlated with ambient temperature.Research highlights: Measuring body temperature with infrared thermography is a useful tool to evaluate acute stress in handled rabbits, with the inner ear and eye the most reliable body parts for measuring it.

Published: June 2020

In December 2019, a novel pneumonia caused by a previously unknown pathogen emerged in Wuhan, China. Whereas, thus far, the large majority of people infected by SARS-CoV-2 develop mild inconsequential respiratory symptoms, a minority of mostly fragile, immunecompromised, often aged individuals with chronic medical conditions, develop a severe form of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and shock leading to death. Thanks to the early implementation of a social distancing strategy, some regions have seen only a moderate but significant increase in the number of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Although, a significant increase in severe and critical COVID-19 patients was noted, requiring significant investment in dedicated personnel and allocation of specific hospitalization and intensive care unit (ICU) infrastructure and resources, but the medical systems’ functioning was not completely disrupted. As the development of a readily available vaccine against the new coronavirus is expected to take about 1.5 - 2 years, most hospitals will have to address the problems and challenges of caring for regular patients, some of them high-risk patients for SARS-CoV-2 infection, while caring in parallel for a low to moderate number of COVID-19 infected patients. This report presents an outline for a plan of action of a hospital system to deal with such an eventuality. We review the key changes that must be implemented in hospital management and activity to prevent disruption of key services due to the COVID-19 outbreak and the maintenance of high quality of care to all patients while ensuring the highest standards of staff and patient safety.

Published: June 2020

Objective: The aim is to examine and compare the level of health literacy (HL) amongst surgical vascular and abdominal patients and measuring the understandability and actionability of current and optimized education materials.Methods: A cross-sectional design was utilized. Patients undergoing abdominal or vascular surgery, were included for measuring HL with the Newest Vital Sign Dutch (NVS-d) tool. The Dutch version of the Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) was used to measure the understandability and actionability of current and optimized patient education materials.Results: A total of 101 patients were included, of those 54 (53.5%) have limited HL. Patients with limited HL were significantly older (p < .001), lower educated (p < .001), and had a higher ASA status (p = .005) and Charlson Comorbidity Index score (p < .001). The occurrence of limited HL differed significantly (p = .046) between abdominal versus vascular patients. The understandability varied between 24%-59% and the actionability between 40%-67% of the current education materials. The optimized education materials had a understandability score of 86% and a actionability score of 100%.Conclusions: The high prevalence of inadequate HL emphasizes the importance of nursing and medical staff providing clear information to enable shared decision-making. Besides, it is necessary to evaluate current education materials and optimize these materials according to the level of health literacy to provide health information that is understandable.
The Effect of Coronavirus (Covid19) Outbreak on Education Systems: Evaluation of Distance Learning System in Turkey
Authors: BELTEKIN Enes , KUYULU İhsan
Published: June 2020

Due to Covid19, measures have been taken to minimize interaction, maintain social isolation, and ensure interpersonal social distance. As a result of these decisions taken by the authorities, educational activities in Turkey were suspended at first. After some time, lessons were given in the form of distance learning on digital platforms. This research was carried out to evaluate the efficiency, positive and negative aspects of the distance learning system, and its shortcomings from the viewpoints of the students. 594 students, 139 of whom are from private universities, 455 of whom are from state universities, faculties of physical sciences and sports schools, participated in the study in the 2019-2020 academic year. In the research, a survey program known as “Web-Based Instructional Attitude Scale” was used to collect data for the purpose of the research. The data obtained at the end of the research was analyzed with the SPSS 22 statistics program and the significance level was taken as 0.05 among the variables. In order to get an idea about the distribution of the data, firstly the normality of the distributions, and then the skewness and kurtosis tests were examined. According to test results, Independent Sample T test was performed in binary comparisons, One-Way Variance Analysis analysis in multiple comparisons, and correlation test was used to determine the relationship between variables. According to the answers given by the students who participated in the study, although they now ensured that their education activities continue without disruption; It has been determined that the courses taught in the form of distance learning are not as effective as face-to-face education, they are insufficient in terms of efficiency for students, and technical problems in the system negatively affect students’ motivation to learn. As a result, no matter how practical the distance learning system is during times of crisis, it may not be as efficient as face-to-face education, and it requires more technical development and always be ready for use.

Published: June 2020

In the last decade, the Slovenian furniture industry market has experienced a number of changes, especially with the arrival of new retailers on the market. The situation is such that furniture manufacturers and retailers are still trying to determine the best ways to adjust to new customer demands. A well known thing is that customer satisfaction is the key component for the success of the business. In order for companies to be more successful, it is important to get better insight into customers’ needs and wants. In line with this, the purpose of this study, which compare the surveys conducted in 2010 and 2019, was to observe and analyse changes in the preferences of customers for furniture: materials, attributes, and styles when deciding on new furniture in Slovenia. The results of this research showed that customers’ preferences for furniture materials have changed in the last decade. Similarly, the factors that influence their purchase decisions when buying interior and exterior furniture have changed as well. It was found that wood was widely preferred as a furniture material among the respondents in both years studied.

Ethical issues in tuberculosis screening and the use of new drugs for prisoners
Authors: Elger B. S. , Mirzayev F. , Afandiyev S. , Gurbanova E.
Published: June 2020

SETTING: Prisons are known to have extremely high tuberculosis (TB) and multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) TB prevalence and poor treatment outcomes.OBJECTIVE: To examine the screening and M/XDR-TB treatment with new TB drugs in prisons
from the perspective of international ethical and legal requirements.DESIGN: WHO recommendations on TB screening in prisons and M/XDR-TB treatment as well as the international human rights law on prisoners were analysed.RESULTS: Prisoners have a human right to access
at least the same level of TB care as in their communities. Screening for TB in prisons, which may run contrary to a given individual's choice to be tested, may be justified by the positive obligation to prevent other prisoners from contracting a possibly deadly disease. Introduction of new
TB drugs in prisons is necessary, ethically sound and should start in parallel with introduction in a civilian sector in strict compliance with the WHO recommendations.CONCLUSION: Access to screening for TB, as well as effective treatment according to WHO recommendations, must be
ensured by countries on the basis of international human rights conventions.
First record of Agrilus hastulifer (Ratzeburg, 1837) (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in Poland with data of its bionomy, distribution, morphology and identification
Authors: Gutowski Jerzy M. , Królik Roman , Marczak Dawid , Sweeney Jon
Published: June 2020

The paper presents the first records in Poland of Agrilus hastulifer (Ratzeburg, 1837) (Buprestidae). It is the 31st species of the genus Agrilus Curtis, 1825 recorded in the country. It was found in two locations in eastern (Białowieża Primeval Forest) and central Poland (Kampinos National Park). All data of the biology and economic significance of this species, based on the literature and our observations, are summarized. Due to the great difficulty in distinguishing this species from Agrilus graminis Kiesenwetter, 1857, we also provide an original, richly illustrated comparison useful for discriminating the two species.
Toxicological, biological and biochemical effects of two nanocomposites on cotton leaf worm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval, 1833)
Authors: El-Rahman Soheir F. Abd , Ahmed Sayeda S. , Kader Mahmoud H. Abdel
Published: June 2020

Cotton leaf worm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval, 1833), is one of the most dangerous pests in Egypt, causing economically significant losses of different crops. The present study was aimed to evaluate toxicological, biological and biochemical effects of two nanocomposites, Silver (Ag) and graphene oxide (GO) nanomaterials over magnesium chlorophillin (Mg-Chl/Ag and Mg-Chl/GO) at three concentrations (1, 10, 100 ml/L) against 2nd instar larvae of S. littoralis. The results showed that larval mortality rate was positively correlated with the increase of concentrations of the tested nanocomposites and time after exposure. The mortality rate in nanographene oxide composite were higher than nano silver. LC50 (lethal concentration of 50% of a group of test larvae) values were 10.27 and 16.14 mg/L at Mg-Chl/Ag and Mg-Chl/GO compound at 2 h exposure to light. Some biological aspects of S. littoralis resulted from the treated 2nd instars larvae with two nanocomposites were recorded. Larval, pupal durations, pupation, adult emergence rate and pupal weight were significantly lower in all concentrations compared to untreated larvae. All tested samples showed decrease in total carbohydrates, total proteins and total lipids. Obtained results suggest that using silver and graphene oxide nanomaterials over the magnesium chlorophillin would be a useful component for controlling S. littoralis.
Music education for blind people – determinants and methodological guidelines
Authors: Wiśniewska Milena
Published: June 2020

The article presents the characteristics of music education for visually impaired people. It is largely conditioned by the use of Braille’s music notation featuring a number of differences when compared to the notation used by sighted musicians. Visually impaired students can receive music education both at schools dedicated exclusively to the blind and in public institutions, together with sighted students. What may play a significant role in the provision of the best possible learning conditions for blind people is support given by educational institutions and by various organizations (in our country, the latter form of aid is relatively narrow in scope). What matters most is, however, teachers’ attitude, their willingness to understand a blind student’s situation, and frequently their readiness to introduce modifications to the methods applied on a daily basis. In order to determine what exactly is needed by visually impaired people learning music in Poland, the author of the article explored educational experiences of 24 blind people, bearing in mind the context of music education system in our country. Conclusions drawn from the conducted surveys, as well as from the subject literature, helped to formulate a number of guidelines concerning blind people’s education, directed at teachers of various music subjects; they constitute the main part of the article in question.
Dialogue or compromise – in search of new pedagogical relations in music education
Authors: Jemielnik Joanna
Published: June 2020

The article was written based on the evaluation research conducted in one of music schools in eastern Poland, examining the quality of education in violin and piano classes. After the introduction presenting problems related to learning in an art school, the author showed the research purpose and description of the researched group, characteristics of the region and research method. The study group was asked questions concerning the quality and manner of students’ practice, methods of a teacher’s work with primary music school pupils, factors that contributed to and hampered effective instrument performance training, school relations and communication.
The collected data, free statements and suggestions of students, teachers and parents, were described, categorized and confronted in the main part of the article. The comparison of opinions and voices from the three perspectives enabled to formulate conclusions on the changes undergoing in a contemporary music school, first of all – in relation to the perception of instrument performance training, methods of teachers’ and pupils’ work as well as the pupil – pedagogue – parent relation.

Social support for children with autism spectrum disorders and their family as exemplified by the analysis of an individual case
Authors: Leksy Karina
Published: June 2020

Epidemiological data clearly indicate that the number of children with autism spectrum disorder is systematically growing. Families which bear responsibility for raising and caring for children with disabilities wrestle with many problems of everyday life. Many times, the hardships of raising children with autism, dealing with their emotions and one's own as well as everyday problems lead to a family crisis. Therefore, there is no doubt that both children with autism spectrum disorder and their parents/families need both institutional and non-institutional help and support.
The aim of this article is to present – on the example of an individual case of a family with a child with autism spectrum disorder – the types of support the family has received and evaluation of this support.
The information obtained indicates that help and support for children with autism spectrum disorder and their families offered by the state is insufficient and, therefore, many families have to cope on their own. However, the effective handling of the situation is highly dependent on individual, systemic, and material resources a family has as well as on external systems of family support which allow the best possible fulfilment of protective and educational functions regarding the child.
The functioning of the student with the autism spectrum in the integration class in terms of sensory disorders – a case study
Authors: Stefanow Agnieszka
Published: June 2020

The functioning of a student with the autism spectrum is determined not only by disorders and deficits of a social nature, but also sensory, which are not included in didactic and educational work by teachers based mainly on behavioural concepts. These concepts allow you to control your child's undesirable behaviour without referring to its aetiology. By ignoring sensory disorders, school becomes a place for students that does not create an environment for their optimal development.
The cognitive goal of the article is to describe the functioning of the autism spectrum student in the integration class in terms of sensory disorders. The practical and implementation goal is to propose effective solutions that teachers could use in their didactic and educational work with an autism spectrum student in a public school, taking into account his sensory needs. The research method was a case study of a student with the autism spectrum (Asperger Syndrome), implemented using the modified Sensomotor Development Questionnaire by Zbigniew Przyrowski (2014). By face-to-face contact, it was possible to avoid over-interpreting the data received from the questionnaire and to make sure that the respondent correctly understood the questions. The case study was supplemented with techniques for observing and analysing school documents.
While implementing study method in case of the boy, it was noticed that his functioning in school is strongly determined by sensory processing disorders, which are the result of dysfunction of individual sensory systems. The boy manifested disorders in both modulation and discrimination in individual sensory channels.
Sensory motor disorders were also present. All these dysfunctions impaired the boy's cognitive processes, social and emotional development, which was the foundation of the occurrence of undesirable behavioural actions. In the last part of the article, didactic and educational activities are proposed taking into account the sensory processing disorder of the student with the autism spectrum, which can be successfully applied at every stage of education of a student with ASD and in any type of educational institution.
Difficult motherhood in the perception of mothers in the 1990s and today
Authors: Zalewska Paulina
Published: June 2020

The article presents empirical material that allows to outline the situation of contemporary women experiencing difficult motherhood compared to women twenty years ago described by Małgorzata Kościelska (1998). Qualitative research was attended by 18 women who experienced difficult motherhood associated with unsuccessful prenatal diagnosis due to disability, genetic disease or birth defect. Fritz Schütz's autobiographical narrative interview was used.
An analysis of the content of the respondents' statements reveals their concern not only for the child's health and physical development, but also for their mental well-being. Diagnosis of birth defects and genetic anomalies does not inhibit the development of the mother's emotional bond. Women undergo prenatal testing more consciously than in the 1990s. Although they are afraid of such tests, they are more worried about the child's health than about being abandoned by their husband. Their motivation to undergo prenatal tests results from their desire to remedy developmental abnormalities quickly. The possibility of pregnancy termination procedure causes a lot of extreme emotions and moral doubts. Half of the women surveyed positively assess the support within the support groups and advice on online forums, while they rarely receive institutional psychological support (5 people out of 18 respondents). Most women emphasize social ostracism.
Despite the passage of 20 years since the publication of Difficult Motherhood by Małgorzata Kościelska (1998), the development of new technologies, medicine, and socio-political transformation, the situation of mothers awaiting the birth of a child and experiencing an unsuccessful diagnosis has not changed radically and requires many systemic changes.
Reconhecimento das configurações de mão de LIBRAS baseado na análise de discriminante de Fisher bidimensional, utilizando imagens de profundidade

As pessoas surdas comunicam-se com outras pessoas por meio da Língua de Sinais. O fato de existirem muitas pessoas nas principais áreas da sociedade (saúde, educação e lazer) que interagem com os surdos, com pouco ou nenhuma familiaridade com uma língua de sinais, afeta sobremaneira a inclusão social dos mesmos. Este artigo apresenta uma metodologia para o reconhecimento automatizado dos gestos que representam as configurações de mãos da Língua Brasileira de Sinais - LIBRAS. A abordagem inicial consistiu da construção de um banco de imagens de profundidade adquiridas com o sensor Kinect®. Nessas imagens, foi aplicado a técnica 2D2LDA para a redução de dimensionalidade do conjunto de características usado para classificação. O sistema é capaz de segmentar a mão e reconhecer as 61 configurações de mão da LIBRAS. A taxa média de acerto alcançada foi de 95,70%. Como o dispositivo de captura é insensível a luminosidade, fundo e cores das roupas e da pele, a aplicação desenvolvida adapta-se sem modificações a qualquer ambiente de captura das configurações
Filtros de Resposta Máxima e Padrões Binários Locais Aplicados na Detecção de Anormalidades em Mamografias
Authors: Fistarol Danilo , Gonçalves Wesley
Published: June 2020

O câncer de mama é um tumor maligno que se desenvolve como consequ ência de alterações genéticas em um conjunto de células da mama. Neste trabalho utilizamos a análise de textura, uma das subáreas da visão computacional, para auxiliar na detecção de prováveis nódulos mamários. A suposição é que a textura de regiões com nódulos seja diferente da textura de regiões normais. Em análise de textura, uma técnica que se destaca são os padrões binários locais (LBP). Embora o LBP obtenha bons resultados em imagens de textura, seu desempenho foi drasticamente baixo em imagens de mamografia. Para contornar esse problema, esse artigo propõe o uso dos filtros de resposta máxima e o LBP para a classificação de nódulos em mamografias. O método proposto obteve uma acurácia de 88% comparado com apenas 68% do LBP.

Ao longo das últimas três décadas, mais pessoas tiveram câncer de pele do que todos os outros tipos de câncer combinados. No entanto, ela é uma doença que tem cura se diagnosticada logo no início. Assim, este trabalho propõe uma análise das componentes do modelo de cores HSV para cor e textura na extração de características. Essa extração é feita através da interpretação de imagens médicas de lesões de pele. O objetivo é promover uma classificação com uma menor taxa de erro. Nos testes foram utilizados três classificadores: Máquina de Vetor de Suporte, MultiLayer Perceptron e Random Forest. Os resultados experimentais obtidos foram satisfatórios, atingindo uma acurácia de 0.9250 e um índice Kappa de 0.7541.

O glaucoma é uma doença causada pela lesão do nervo óptico. Manifesta-se de maneira crônica ou aguda, quando crônico é caracterizado pela perda da visao periférica. Quando agudo, se dá porque a pressão interna do olho torna-se extremamente alta e causa perda súbita da visão. Este estudo visa desenvolver uma metodologia computacional para detectar o glaucoma em imagens de fundo de olho por meio do cálculo da razão dos diâmetros da Cavidade do Disco O´ ptico e do Disco O´ ptico, denominado como Cup-To-Disc Ratio. O método ainda em desenvolvimento, obteve 91,75% na segmentação do DO.

Detecção de agrupamentos de microcalcificações em imagens digitais de mamografias
Authors: Medeiros Aldísio , Ferreira Daniel
Published: June 2020

Este artigo apresenta um método para detecção de agrupamentos de microcalcificações, com formas arbitrárias, em imagens digitais de mamografias. Neste método, o formato das regiões suspeitas é sinalizado de acordo com a localização das microcalcificações na mama. Essa abordagem pode ajudar os especialistas na análise da imagem, pois o formato do agrupamento é um importante atributo clínico, além de melhorar o desempenho de métodos computacionais. Quando comparado a ROIs (Regions Of Interest) circulares, os resultados iniciais mostram que o método proposto reduz o volume de dados da ROI, em média, de 76%, 67% e 62% para mamografias com tecido de mama glandular, gorduroso e denso, respectivamente, sem que haja perdas significativas nas microcalcificações.

Vom Transhumanismus zum technischen Staat
Authors: Wieser Matthias Michael
Published: June 2020

Transhumanists propagate the possibility of physically and mentally 'enhancing' and 'overcoming' the human race by using technology and science. In doing so, they present a liberal self-conception that is supposedly compatible with democratic structures. In contrast to this line of thought, this thesis shows that transhumanist ideology inherently carries technocratic features. To this end, it draws on Helmut Schelsky's theories on the technical state. In 1961, Schelsky affirmatively diagnosed an emerging technocracy of the scientific civilization. According to this argument, the universalization of the scientific method transforms negotiable issues into undeniable constraints and thus gradually dissolves classical parliamentary democracy. This thesis shows that contrary to its liberal self-conception, contemporary transhumanism reproduces Schelsky's basic technocratic ideas.
On fate and/or providence in Pushkin’s short story ‘The blizzard’
Authors: Vidmarović Natalija Р.
Published: June 2020

It has been repeatedly noted that there are similarities between Pushkin’s short story ‘The blizzard’, Zhukovsky's ballad ‘Svetlana’, from which Pushkin borrowed the epigraph, and Burger's ‘Lenora’, which was twice used by Zhukovsky in different contexts. Differences in the functioning of the traditional plot are considered against the background of the interrela­tion and interdependence between fate, chance, and free will. In a Christian reading, the atti­tudes of the main characters of the three works to God's providence explain the motives be­hind their actions, the further course of events, and the endings of the works.
The phenomenology of Pushkin’s ‘universal sympathy (based on ‘Аscene from ‘Faust’, ‘The feast in the time of plague’, and ‘the Wanderer’)
Authors: Gilmanov Vladimir Kh. , Kosinskaya Аlexandra S.
Published: June 2020

This article attempts to approach the discovery of what Dostoevsky called Pushkin’s ‘great secret’. In his essay ‘Pushkin’, Dostoevsky wrote that the poet had ‘a capacity for uni­versal sympathy’. The ‘secret’ of Pushkin is analysed in this article in the context of the gen­eral cultural problem of fundamental ontological predicates, which determined the main cul­tural codes of the literary worlds reflected in the poet’s oeuvre. The methodological approach is based on Valentin Nepomnyashchiy’s concept of the poetic momentum of Pushkin’s literary work, which is always in the stress field between the Christmas and Easter meta-codes. This field dictates the solution to the main Christian problem of correlations in the dialogue be­tween God and the human being. It is concluded that Pushkin was aware of the dangers of ‘the mystery of iniquity’, which is closely connected with the ideas of Gnosticism when par­taking spiritually and poetically of the literary phenomenology of Goethe’s tragedy Faust, John Wilson’s poem ‘The city of the plague’, and John Bunyan’s allegorical novel Pilgrim’s Progress. The article emphasises that Pushkin used his ‘capacity for universal sympathy’ to incorporate those dangers in both life and poetry. The hermeneutics of poetry is also dealt with in its connection to the hermeneutics of faith within the context of Russia’s and Western Eu­rope’s eschatological objectives, which shaped the cultural codes of the two territories.
