Imagism and Imagery in the Selected Poems of Major Imagist Poets
Authors: Hama Bakhtiar S.
Published: July 2020

This paper explores imagism and studies the intrinsic literary features of some poems to show how the authors combine all the elements such as style, sentence structure, figures of speech and poetic diction to paint concrete and abstract images in the mind of the readers. Imagism was an early 20th century literary movement and a reaction against the Romantic and Victorian mainstreams. Imagism is known as an Anglo-American literary movement since it borrows from the English and American verse style of modern poetry. The leaders of the movement set some rules for writing imagist poems. The authors of the group believed that poets are like painters; what the painters can do with brush and dye, poets can do it with language i.e. painting pictures with words. The poems are descriptive; the poets capture the images they experience with one or more of the five senses. They believed that readers could see the realities from their eyes because the texts are like a painting. In this paper, six poems by six prominent leaders of the movement will be scrutinized according to the main principles of the formalistic approach which is the interpretation and analysis of the literary devices pertained to the concrete and abstract images drawn by the poets. The poems are: In a Station of the Metro by Ezra Pound, Autumn by T. E. Hulme, November by Amy Lowell, Oread by Hilda Doolittle (H.D.), and Bombardment by Richard Aldington
Modernity, Mass Culture, and Self-Delusion in Nabokov’s Lolita and Martin Amis’ Money
Authors: Ibrahim Juan A.
Published: July 2020

Vladimir Nabokov’s Lolita (1955) and Martin Amis’ Money (1984) discuss the disadvantages of mass media. Amis uses John Self to reflect the disintegration of the self in the modern, Capitalist society of England in 1980s. Self represents the failure of the postmodern world by portraying a dystopian society. Amis and Nabokov tackle subjects pertaining to money, incest, delusion, and disappointment. Lights are shed on the moral aspect of the characters. The modernity of Amis’ fiction lies in its double deception of its characters; there is the American motif and a character who is not able to resist the magic of such motif. It is about consumerism or how aspects of post modernity and the consumer culture are portrayed. This paper aims to show the impact of mass media on the characters who are self-deluded and indulged in loving money, advertisements, and sex. It also aims at showing duality and corruption in both texts, John Self is bankrupt and wants to commit suicide. Humbert cheats many and is imprisoned and Lolita dies. Lolita becomes the victim of incest. It is an attempt to urge human beings to refuse cultural divisions and encourage human spirituality instead of Materialistic point of view.

Politik der Globalisierung
Authors: Eckel Jan
Published: July 2020

Statt Globalisierung als Basisprozess des späten 20. Jahrhunderts vorauszusetzen, sollte die Zeitgeschichte die Vorstellung einer Globalisierung als ein historisches Produkt der Jahrtausendwende untersuchen. Politisch gewann die Globalisierungsrede weitreichende Bedeutung. Die Regierungen Bill Clintons, Tony Blairs und Gerhard Schröders begründeten zentrale innen- und außenpolitische Reformvorhaben mit den Handlungserfordernissen einer sich rasch verflechtenden Welt. Dabei stützte sich die Politik im Namen der Globalisierung auf unscharfes Wissen, oszillierte zwischen Überzeugung und Strategie und beförderte im Ergebnis manche der Verflechtungen, mit denen ihre Notwendigkeit begründet worden war. So sehr politische Gegner diese Reformen bekämpften, teilten sie doch weitgehend die zugrunde liegenden Diagnosen.

El discurso político en momentos de campaña electoral. Una aproximación desde el Análisis Crítico del Discurso
Authors: Criollo Marcelo
Published: July 2020

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar un aporte teórico y metodológico de Análisis Crítico del Discurso aplicado al discurso político. El trabajo propone una revisión conceptual de las diferentes orientaciones, planos y propuestas de esta técnica de análisis cualitativo desde el enfoque de género. El corpus se conformó con la selección de Planes de Gobierno de los partidos políticos participantes en la campaña electoral 2017 en Ecuador en contexto con spots de campaña electoral los cuales son considerados como unidades de contexto útiles para la interpretación y análisis de los textos. Esta investigación toma como pilar la teoría foucaultiana del poder y el discurso, la propuesta es entender al discurso como un instrumento de poder. Como conclusión, los hallazgos revelan los límites de la democracia de tipo liberal y el uso de una serie de recursos discursivos que legitiman los prejuicios y los estereotipos. A partir de la identificación de una serie de cualificaciones y otros recursos como la institucionalidad, la religión o las tradiciones, se observa la manera en la que estas cuestiones son vistas como principios que determinan la veracidad y las exigencias para entrar en el orden mismo del discurso.
Subjetividades en pugna en la novela bananera hondureña: Barro de Navas de Miralda y Aquel año rojo de Díaz Lozano
Authors: Barboza Leitón Ivannia
Published: July 2020

Este artículo estudia las novelas Barro (1951) de Paca Navas de Miralda y Aquel año rojo (1973) de Argentina Díaz Lozano desde el Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD) de Teun A. van Dijk. En el contexto macro de las plantaciones bananeras en Honduras, las subjetividades en pugna de los personajes femeninos se hallan subestimadas, pues predominan discursos de lucha social como el llamado a huelga, la consecución de los derechos laborales y las denuncias sociales de la masa trabajadora masculina. Es por esto, que las mujeres en los enclaves, desde sus subjetividades luchan consigo mismas y con sus semejantes, en espacios marcados por la violencia y la desigualdad, con el deseo de surgir frente a un espacio predominantemente masculino.

Los discursos que enmarcan dichas subjetividades son del conocimiento social en el que los marcos mentales sustentan las creencias. Las protagonistas no escapan al ser tema de conversación y del conocimiento colectivo, que las hace oscilar en variantes ontológicas de aceptación y rechazo. Más que una estimación de sus capacidades laborales, afectivas y de procurar el bien común, los personajes femeninos son valorados por el ser. El corpus ofrece un horizonte que no solo corresponde anotar para los personajes literarios, sino que compete también para Honduras, creando un imaginario acorde con las ideas de etnicidad, moral e identidad.
Élites y poder en Cuba, de la épica revolucionaria a la instrumentalización del Estado, 1959-1965
Authors: López Ávalos Martín
Published: July 2020

Se parte de la hipótesis que el Estado nacional cubano es el resultado de la acción de una serie de elites que siempre se han considerado revolucionarias. La construcción del Estado cubano abarca tres experiencias que explican el ejercicio del poder político por elites específicas en el siglo XX. Es la capacidad de agencia de estas elites la que explica la historia política del Estado, independientemente de las intervenciones externas de las que puede ser objeto. Lo que definimos como Revolución cubana, es un proceso que puede distinguirse en dos fases, la insurreccional entendida como la toma del poder político, y la construcción de los mecanismos que permiten la reproducción de la nueva elite como elite de poder, es decir, a través del aparato del Estado. En este proceso particular se observa la importancia de un líder carismático como Fidel Castro, quien logra aglutinar a un conjunto de personas en torno de su liderazgo.
Cambios en la superficie sembrada de palma aceitera en el cantón de Osa, Puntarenas. Período 2014-2018
Authors: Salas-González Denis Mauricio
Published: July 2020

El cultivo de palma aceitera muestra un acelerado crecimiento a nivel mundial. Según datos oficiales, solo en la región latinoamericana se evidencia un crecimiento del 150,8% en el área cultivada de palma de aceite al pasar de 443 000 hectáreas en 2001 a 1 111 000 hectáreas sembradas en 2014, de las cuales 818 000 se encontraban en etapa productiva aportando cerca del 6% del aceite de palma producido en el mundo (González, 2016). Estas plantaciones han impactado los paisajes tropicales por la disminución de la vegetación natural, pastos o por el reemplazo de otros cultivos. La expansión del cultivo de palma de aceite aumentó en Costa Rica y de acuerdo con la tendencia de los últimos años, seguirá en aumento. En los últimos años se han realizado censos y encuestas agropecuarias que muestran el crecimiento general, pero no detallan las áreas geográficas donde se da ese crecimiento y el consecuente impacto a la dinámica natural de las áreas cultivadas, información clave para los procesos de ordenamiento territorial regional y local que tenemos en el país. Por tal motivo, los objetivos de esta investigación fueron: analizar el cambio en la superficie sembrada con palma aceitera en el cantón de Osa, provincia de Puntarenas en el periodo 2014-2018 y evaluar la expansión del cultivo de palma aceitera en los distritos del cantón. Para esto, se analizaron datos de instituciones gubernamentales y se identificaron y digitalizaron las plantaciones de palma aceitera de los seis distritos del cantón de Osa.

Abordagem sistêmica do cenário de desmatamento no Haiti: uma aparente relação com os eventos extremos
Authors: Charles Ralph , De Oliveira Regina Célia , São José Rafael Vinícius
Published: July 2020

O desmatamento é considerado como um dos mais graves problemas ambientais da atualidade, pois além de devastar as florestas e os recursos naturais, compromete o equilíbrio do planeta em seus diversos elementos, incluindo os ecossistemas, afetando gravemente também a economia e a sociedade. No Haiti, o desmatamento começou no período da colonização que resultou na substituição de floresta virgem para plantar outras culturas que consequentemente mudou o funcionamento sistêmico da paisagem. Nesta perspetiva, esta pesquisa objetiva analisar o desmentamento neste território, buscando apresentar uma aparente relação com o grau de devastação das florestas e a alta sensibilidade deste país em relação aos eventos extremos. Os principais resultados demonstram que este cenário de elevada degradação ambiental pode ter peso grande sobre a sensibilidade ambiental do país e a sua suscetibilidade à ocorrência de frequentes eventos físicos.
Some Contradictions in the Multi-Layer Hele-Shaw Flow
Authors: Gelu PASA
Published: July 2020

An important problem concerning the Hele-Shaw displacements is to minimize the Saffman - Taylor instability. To this end, some constant viscosity fluid layers can be introduced in an intermediate region (I.R.) between the displacing fluids. However, we prove that very small (positive) values of the growth rates can be obtained only for a very large (unrealistic) I.R. On the contrary, when the I.R. length is constrained by certain conditions (for instance, geological), then the maximum value of the growth constants can not fall below a certain value, not depending on the number of layers. This maximum value is not so small.

The Relationship Model of Sharia and Financial Authorities
Authors: Maksum Muhammad
Published: July 2020

Political economy and religious policies affect the relationship between sharia and financial authorities. Countries that make Islam as the official religion put Sharia authorities within the scope of the state. Malaysia is one of the countries that put Sharia authorities in the structure of state authority, although it is subject to independency. In the meantime, Indonesia combines the two models of relationship: 1) granting broader independence to sharia authority (the Indonesian Ulema Council) and 2) forming sharia board to deal with sharia finance, among others. The comparison of Indonesian, Malaysian, and the Middle Eastern countries’ system shows that the independence and the effectiveness of sharia economic fatwa application are found to attract each other. This, in turn, influences the supervision of Islamic financial institutions.  AbstrakPolitik ekonomi dan kebijakan agama memengaruhi hubungan antara otoritas syariah dan otoritas keuangan. Negara yang menjadikan Islam sebagai agama resmi menempatkan otoritas syariah dalam ruang lingkup negara. Malaysia adalah salah satu negara yang menempatkan otoritas Syariah dalam struktur otoritas negara, meskipun tetap independen. Sementara itu, Indonesia menggabungkan dua model hubungan: 1) memberikan independensi yang lebih luas kepada otoritas syariah (Majelis Ulama Indonesia) dan 2) membentuk dewan syariah untuk menangani hal yang berkaitan dengan keuangan syariah. Perbandingan sistem Indonesia, Malaysia, dan negara-negara Timur Tengah menunjukkan bahwa independensi dan efektivitas penerapan fatwa ekonomi syariah terbukti saling berhubungan satu sama lain. Ini, pada gilirannya, memengaruhi pengawasan lembaga keuangan Islam.
Comparison of Rapid-Response Systems Across Multisite Locations of a Pediatric Hospital System
Authors: Bavare Aarti C. , Bracken Julie A. , Guffey Danielle , Graf Jeanine M. , Thomas Jenilea K
Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVES:

Rapid response (RR) systems reduce mortality and cardiopulmonary arrests outside the ICU. Patient characteristics, RR practices, and hospital context and/or mechanism influence post-RR outcomes. We aim to describe and compare RR function and outcomes within our institution’s multiple sites.

METHODS:

We conducted a 3-year retrospective study to compare RR use, clinical characteristics, and outcomes between our hospital’s central campus (CC) and 2 satellite campuses (SCs). RR training and procedures are uniform across all campuses.

RESULTS:

Among the 2935 RRs reviewed, 1816 occurred during index admissions at the CC and 405 occurred at SCs. CC, when compared with SCs, had higher age at RR (3.2 years vs 1.4 years), prevalence of complex chronic conditions (62.4% vs 34.4%), surgical complications (20.2% vs 5%), severity of illness, and risk of mortality (P < .001). CC had higher daytime RR activations, longer time from admission to RR, and more activations by nurses (P < .001). Respiratory diagnoses were most prevalent uniformly, but cardiac, neurologic, and hematologic diagnoses were higher at CC (P < .001). Cardiac and/or respiratory arrests during RR and transfers to the ICU were similar. Cardiorespiratory interventions post-RR, hospital length of stay, and mortality were higher and ICU stay was shorter (P < .01) in the CC. Outcomes were mainly affected by patient characteristics and not RR factors on multivariate analysis.

CONCLUSIONS:

Patient illness severity, RR characteristics, and outcomes are significantly different in our multisite locations. Outcomes are predominantly affected by patient severity and not RR characteristics. Standardized RR training and procedures likely balance the effect of varying RR characteristics on eventual outcomes.
Characterization Study of Patients Presenting to an Acute Care Pediatric Hospital Identified With Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder
Authors: Tsang Kevin K. , Hayes Lillian C. , Bujoreanu Simona , Samsel Chase B. , Ibeziako Patricia I.
Published: July 2020

OBJECTIVES:

Nearly one-quarter of individuals diagnosed with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) require medical admission. There have been efforts to characterize ARFID in outpatient and intensive day treatment settings; however, authors of few studies have examined this presentation in the inpatient pediatric hospital setting. In this study, we aim to further characterize patients presenting to the hospital with concerns for ARFID.

METHODS:

This study involved a retrospective chart review of medically admitted patients with ARFID seen by the psychiatry consultation service at a tertiary care New England pediatric hospital from 2015 to 2016.

RESULTS:

The typical hospitalized patient with ARFID was a 12.9-year-old, white girl with previous history of outpatient mental health treatment, anxiety disorder, and gastrointestinal-related diagnoses admitted to adolescent medicine or pediatric hospitalist services with >1 year of feeding difficulties often triggered by a precipitating event. Despite >80% of subjects receiving evaluations as outpatients for feeding-related concerns, including 60.5% seeing their primary care provider, <20% were diagnosed with ARFID before hospitalization. The average length of admission was 8 days. All imaging, scopes, and swallow studies conducted during the admission were nonrevealing. Almost half of patients required enteral tube feeds, and 63.2% required psychiatric medications during the admission. Only 31.6% of patients had the ARFID diagnosis documented in their discharge notes.

CONCLUSIONS:

Consistent identification of ARFID remains variable, underrecognized by community providers, and underdocumented by hospital providers. Accurate recognition of ARFID and additional study into contributory factors and treatment approaches may help improve effective health care use and treatment outcomes.
Pharmacologic Management of Severe Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Authors: Truog William E. , Lewis Tamorah R. , Bamat Nicolas A.
Published: July 2020

Few medications are available and well tested to treat infants who already have developed or inevitably will develop severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (sBPD). Infants who develop sBPD clearly have not benefited from decades of research efforts to identify clinically meaningful preventive therapies for very preterm infants in the first days and weeks of their postnatal lives. This review addresses challenges to individualized approaches to medication use for sBPD. Specific challenges include understanding the combination of an individual infant’s postmenstrual and postnatal age and the developmental status of drug-metabolizing enzymes and receptor expression. This review will also explore the reasons for the variable responsiveness of infants to specific therapies, based on current understanding of developmental pharmacology and pharmacogenetics. Data demonstrating the remarkable variability in the use of commonly prescribed drugs for sBPD are presented, and a discussion about the current use of some of these medications is provided. Finally, the potential use of antifibrotic medications in late-stage sBPD, which is characterized by a profibrotic state, is addressed.

Published: July 2020

In view of the known complications of drug therapy and open surgical ligation, and the potential for prolonged patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) exposure to be harmful, health care practitioners have sought new approaches to achieve definitive ductal closure. Interest in percutaneous (catheter-based) PDA closure has emerged within the neonatal community as a viable treatment option, because it has been fueled by recent procedural and device modifications, as well as mounting feasibility and safety data. Herein, we provide a contemporary review of percutaneous PDA closure among infants at the crux of the medical debate—very-low-weight infants (≤1,500 g), including: 1) characterization of traditional PDA treatments (drug therapy, open surgical ligation) and conservative (nonintervention) management options; 2) a general overview of the major procedural steps of percutaneous ductal closure, including efforts to reduce thrombotic complications and the emergence of a novel US Food and Drug Administration–approved device; 3) a systematic review and meta-analysis to better understand risk profiles of percutaneous PDA closure in this population; and 4) discussion of current gaps in our understanding of optimal PDA care, including the critical need for well-designed, randomized, controlled clinical trials.
Seizures in Children
Authors: Fine Anthony , Wirrell Elaine C.
Published: July 2020

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic disorders seen in children, with the highest incidence in the first year of life. Diagnostic accuracy can be challenging because many seizure mimics must be considered. Electroencephalography and neuroimaging can be critical in determining etiology and syndrome. Genetic testing is a high-yield endeavor, particularly in early-life epilepsies. Up to one-fourth of children with epilepsy will develop drug-resistant seizures. Comorbidities are very common in children with epilepsy, including intellectual disability in 25% and learning disability and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in a significant minority. These comorbidities must be recognized and addressed as part of the child’s overall care.

Authors: Prihartini Yogia , Buska Wahyudi
Published: July 2020

This study aims to describe the type and function of lecturers’ speech acts in the interaction of learning Arabic at UIN Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi. Where in the classroom, the lecturers had important roles in the teaching and learning process. They always use speech as medium to convey ideas to students. Lecturers are also expected to function as active communicators in Arabic lectures. The interaction that is built by lecturers and students is inseparable from the speech act. A qualitative approach was implemented where the data taken from lecturer utterances in Arabic learning interactions were obtained from Arabic lecturers. Data collection was taken by using non-participant observation technique. Mechanical devices and stationery are positioned as data collection aids. Data analysis includes data reduction, data presentation, and data collection/verification results. The finding showed that the lecturers use five types of speech acts in Arabic learning interactions, namely directive, assertive, co missive, expressive, and declarative acts. The finding also showed that there are social and educational functions used by Arabic lecturers. Social functions consist of four categories, namely, competitive functions, convivial functions, collaborative functions, and conflictive functions. While, the educational function of lecturer speech acts consists of nine types, namely, giving a positive impression of the material, directing focus, inclusive learning situations, exclusive learning situations, expressing specific things, encouraging students to build conclusion, controlling the learning situation, and providing motivation to students. The results indicated that the lecturers' speech acts deal with social problems and learning objectives.

Authors: Fauji Imam , Fahyuni Eni Fariyatul , Muhid Abdul , Fahmawati Zaki Nur
Published: July 2020

As Qurâ€™an serve as guidance in Muslim life, it goes without saying that there is an obligation for parents to teach their children the ability to read the Islamic holy book. On the part of school institution, educators are expected to offer interesting teaching methods to read Qurâ€™an so that they have an ease to acquire the ability. This study was aimed at investigating the relationship between teaching methods and studentsâ€™ ability to read Qurâ€™an.Â  This study applied an action research to explore practical problems and to find some solutions to the problems encountered. The research subjects were 283 students of class VII at SMPN (Sekolah Menengah Pertama Negeri/State Junior High School) 2 Porong. This study collected data through: survey, observation, and semi-structured interviews. The findings show that studentsâ€™ ability to read Qur'an can be categorized into four levels namely: Ibtida 1, Ibtida 2, Jayyid, and Jayyid Jidan. Those four categories placed students based on their abilities in reading Qurâ€™an. According to Pearson correlation, there was a significance value of 0.000 <0.05, which means there is a linear relationship between the teaching methods and the studentsâ€™ ability to read Qur'an. Following this result, some methods of learning to read Qurâ€™an like Iqra, Tahqiq, TalaqqiÂ  Mushafahah, and CMSA (Cara Mengaji Santri Aktif/an active way to read Qurâ€™an for students) are in position to be applied in order to improve childrenâ€™s Qurâ€™an reading abilities.

The effort to integrate Islamic values into learning has both attracted Islamic scholars to discuss and led them to offer their models which are open to examine. The purpose of this study is to discover a hypothetical model of integration planning of Islamic values into learning sociology at SMA (Sekolah Menengah Atas/Senior High School) PGII (Persatuan Guru Islam Indonesia/The Association of Indonesian Islamic Teachers) 2 Bandung. This present study employed a qualitative approach and a descriptive method in the form of case study. The data were collected using techniques namely: interviews, observation, and study documentation.Â  The data were analysed through several steps namely: reducing, coding, displaying, interpreting of findings, and conclusion drawing. Based on the results of the study, the planning of the integration of Islamic values in learning sociology at SMA PGII 2 Bandung was applied through the use of the 2013 curriculum instrument. This integration occurred in the level of justification models. This is to say that the Quran was used as a justification tool for the learning contents of sociology learning. In this regard, the monotheism paradigm was brought into existence in the learning phases namely beginning, middle, and end of learning.Â  Those phases served as efforts to create a religious atmosphere so that were designed and planned in order to reach Islamic values integration in sociology learning.

In RA (Raudhatul Athfal/Islamic Early Childhood Education) context, since many teachers relied heavily on standard learning guidelines, most of them didnâ€™t have the power of creativity to make learning for children fun.Â  As a result, children were likely to experience burn out and this calls for a solution to apply like kaulinan barudak to develop childrenâ€™s character values. This study was aimed at determining the effectiveness of the implementation of kaulinan barudak, Sundanese traditional games in developing character values for children in RA (Raudhatul Athfal/Islamic Early Childhood Education). This research applied a quasi-experimental method with Nonequivalent Pretest-Posttest design. This research was conducted in two RA schools namely RA Al Muqadasah 1 and RA Al-Muqadasah 2 with 36 children involved. The test result for average difference on the post-test showed that childrenâ€™s character values of the experimental class and the control class at the 0.05 significance level was obtained p (sig. (2-tailed) = 0,000. This indicated that there was a significant difference between the average score of the experimental class and control class in their post-test in terms of their character values scores at a level of confidence of 95%. Applying kaulinan barudak provided the experimental class a fun learning experience, potential growth, fun game, peer interaction, and a pleasant atmosphere. The process allowed character values to occur and children learned those values and realized them in kaulinan barudak.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to evaluate the quality of life and musculoskeletal symptoms in primary care workers. Methods: descriptive, correlational and cross-sectional study with 85 workers using the WHOQOL-Bref and Nordic Osteomuscular Symptoms Questionnaire. Results: lower quality of life for the Environment domain and higher for Social Relationships. Workers reported pain in lower back, neck, shoulders, wrists/hands/fingers and knees. Neck pain influenced Physical (p=0.015) and Psychological (p=0.030) domains; shoulder pain (p=0.004) and dorsal region (p=0.013) influenced the Physical domain; pain in knees influenced Physical (p=0.000) and Environment (p=0.032) domains; pain in the ankles/feet influenced Physical (p=0.000), Psychological (p=0.032) and Environment (p=0.007) domains; pain in the dorsal region influenced the Physical domain (p=0.013). Conclusions: workers evaluated their quality of life as good or very good and reported to be satisfied or very satisfied with their health. They also reported pains in lower back, neck, shoulders, wrists/hands/fingers and knees. Pain has influenced the quality of life.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT Objectives: to reflect on aspects related to homeless patients’ safety. Methods: this is a reflective theoretical essay based on patient safety theories. Results: the patient safety culture has developed in the hospital care context and seeks to reduce adverse events in specific hospital settings. On the streets, there is evidence that many people suffer damage related to lack of access to health services, which contributes to undiagnosed or untreated diseases. To build the safety culture it is necessary to identify risks and errors in this scenario since health safety should not start only when hospitalizing an individual. Final Considerations: public policies for this population group need to be effective, as this issue should be a priority concern in health care to prevent harm and adverse events during care delivery.

Methods: cross-sectional study through translation, back-translation, expert evaluation, application and analysis of content, criteria and construct of the scale. Results: the title of the final version was Comportamento Empoderador do Líder. The equivalence evaluation presented Content Validity Index of 89% among the 27 items of the original scale and was applied to 272 nurses. For the construct validation, psychometric analyzes were performed; through calculations of the measure of sampling adequacy, were excluded six items from the translated instrument; and in the factor analysis, four factors were retained. The Cronbach’s alpha was calculated for the four domains and ranged from 0.82 to 0.87, demonstrating the scale reliability. Conclusions: the adapted version presented validity and reliability criteria for use in Brazil. Its use will make it possible to know the behavior of leaders to empower their team.

RESUMO Os estudos sobre a formação docente nos cursos de licenciatura têm sido objeto de estudo no campo da educação. A defesa do professor intelectual, crítico e reflexivo nem sempre tem considerado a contribuição da Filosofia na elaboração dos seus princípios. O objetivo desta pesquisa é analisar a compreensão dos alunos acerca do Estágio no decorrer do curso de licenciatura. Optou-se, metodologicamente, pela abordagem qualitativa, a revisão bibliográfica, a pesquisa de campo e a análise de conteúdo. A pesquisa de campo consultou dez estudantes de Licenciatura em Filosofia da turma de Prática de Ensino da Universidade Estadual do Ceará. O embasamento teórico para as análises dos dados ancorou-se nos estudos de Gallo (2007), Ghedin (2009), Severino (1994), Lima (2012), Pimenta e Lima (2004), dentre outros. Os resultados da pesquisa revelaram que o Estágio é um dos momentos mais significativos do curso universitário, pois possibilita ao aluno a vivência, na prática, dos ensinamentos teóricos e o contato com a realidade da profissão docente. Cada graduando tem um conceito e um significado para tal vivência, que influenciará, como passo inicial no exercício do magistério e na construção de sua identidade professoral.

Objective: to determine the global offer of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) in health and nursing, and to know the characteristics of its content, for continuing education in nursing professionals in Peru. Method: exploratory study was carried out on the websites: Coursera, edX, FutureLearn, XuetangX and Udacity, Class Central and MOOC List. The courses were classified according to the five nursing areas recognized by the Peruvian College of Nurses (Colegio de Enfermeros del Perú, CEP). From each course, data was collected on institution and country of origin, hours per week and total duration in weeks, audio and subtitle language. Results: a total of 654 courses in this modality are offered in health were found, covering the five areas contemplated by the Peruvian College of Nurses. Fourteen courses were specifically developed for nursing with an average duration of five weeks (3.2 hours per week of activities). Eleven came from Anglo-Saxon institutions, with content in English. Only two courses were offered in Spanish and one in Turkish. Conclusion: Massive Open Online Courses would be a useful tool for the continuing education of the Peruvian nurse given the wide offer, including some specifically for nurses, in the different areas of nursing. The content of the course is mostly in English. Expanding the range of languages or subtitles would facilitate the participation of a larger audience.
