Determinantes plurais na expressão de telicidade
Authors: Gomes Jean Carlos da Silva
Published: October 2024

A telicidade se caracteriza pela presença de um ponto final do evento delimitado linguisticamente na sentença. Um dos meios pelos quais essa delimitação pode ser feita se dá pela inserção de determinantes no complemento verbal. No espanhol, discute-se se determinantes plurais conduzem a uma leitura télica ou atélica da sentença. Nessa língua, existe uma partícula aspectual conhecida como “se” télico que ratifica o valor de telicidade da sentença. Dessa forma, ele é utilizado, nesta pesquisa, como um instrumento para a verificação do papel que possuem os determinantes plurais, quando encabeçam o complemento verbal, para a delimitação do evento. Diante disso, pretendeu-se, com este trabalho, verificar se o “se” télico poderia combinar-se com verbos que contivessem complementos verbais encabeçados por determinantes plurais no espanhol a partir de dados das variedades faladas na Colômbia e no Chile. Para tanto, foi aplicado um teste linguístico, caracterizado como de julgamento de gramaticalidade comentado, a falantes nativos dessas regiões. Os resultados demonstram que que a associação investigada no estudo é possível em ambas as variedades e que complementos verbais encabeçados por determinantes plurais conduzem a uma leitura télica da sentença. Além disso, foi possível observar que a associação do “se” télico com verbos como “beber” e com determinantes como “ciertos(as)” e “pocos(as)” parece pouco frequente na língua. Discutiu-se que o “se” télico parece combinar-se com mais frequência com verbos que contenham complementos encabeçados por determinantes plurais que possuam uma menor dependência contextual.

Abstract
This study aimed to report a treatment of multiple gingival recession in a 43-year-old female patient. After clinical and tomographic evaluation, Miller’s class I and II (or Cairo RT1) gingival recessions were observed in several teeth of maxilla and mandible. Non-carious cervical lesions, poorly adapted crowns and unbalanced occlusion were also diagnosed, with the absence of canine guides. A thin gingival phenotype was also found. Orthodontic treatment was not performed, as a thin vestibular bone wall in the mandible was detected. Therefore, correction of the occlusion was performed by means of selective wear on cusps of the posterior teeth to relieve premature contacts. For root coverage, tunneling technique was used in the first, second and fourth sextants. In the fifth sextant, full covering occurred only after a second surgery. A third surgery was performed in the fourth quadrant, and the modified Bruno technique was chosen. The donor region was the palate in all the procedures. The two techniques employed reached up to 100% root coverage in all areas that received the surgery. The patient was satisfied with the final result. It was concluded that complete root coverage is possible when using tunneling technique in patients without interproximal bone loss.

ResumoEsse estudo objetivou reportar um tratamento de recessões gengivais múltiplas em uma paciente do sexo feminino de 43 anos. Após avaliação clínica e tomográfica, recessões gengivais classe I e II de Miller (ou RT1 de Cairo) foram observadas em diversos dentes da maxila e mandíbula. Lesões cervicais não cariosas, coroas mal adaptadas e oclusão desbalanceada também foram diagnosticadas, com ausência de guias caninas. Um fenótipo gengival fino foi observado. Tratamento ortodôntico não foi realizado, pois uma parede óssea vestibular fina na mandíbula foi detectada. Portanto, correção da oclusão foi realizada com desgastes seletivos de cúspides dos dentes posteriores para avaliar os contatos prematuros. Para o recobrimento radicular, técnica de tunelização foi utilizada no primeiro, secundo e quarto sextantes. No sexto sextante, recobrimento completo foi conseguido apenas após a segunda cirurgia. Uma terceira cirurgia foi realizada no quarto quadrante, e a técnica modificada de Bruno foi escolhida. O palato foi a região doara em todos os procedimentos. As duas técnicas cirúrgicas empregadas chegaram até a 100% de recobrimento radicular em todas as áreas que receberam a cirurgia. A paciente ficou satisfeita com o resultado final. Foi concluído que o recobrimento radicular complete é possível quando se utiliza a técnica da tunelização em pacientes sem perda óssea interproximal.

Authors: Skrebtsov V. V. , Protsko V. G. , Skrebtsov A. V. , Tamoev S. K.
Published: October 2024

Introduction Müller – Weiss syndrome is a rare condition that is characterized by avascular necrosis of  the  navicular bone leading to severe foot deformity, pain disturbing activities of daily living. There is no generally accepted treatment for avascular necrosis of the scaphoid, and the available treatments have disadvantages, which necessitates the need for new options.

The objective was to present short-term results of three patients with osteonecrosis of the scaphoid and local necrosis of the talar head treated with ceramic talar head prosthesis, plastic surgery, metal osteosynthesis of the scaphoid and related surgical techniques.

Material and methods Three patients diagnosed with Müller – Weiss syndrome were treated with ceramic talar head replacement, autologous bone grafting and metal osteosynthesis of the scaphoid bone with  accompanying surgical techniques. Severity of pain and the condition of patients were assessed with the VAS and AOFAS AH scores.

Results Short-term results showed consolidation at the site of metal osteosynthesis in all patients with  no  signs of  instability of the talus hemiprosthesis. VAS and AOFAS AH scores indicated decrease in the pain and improved condition of the patients.

Discussion Hemiarthroplasty of the talar head combined with plastic surgery and restoration of a congruent joint surface of the scaphoid, and associated surgical techniques may become an effective alternative to existing treatments for patients with Müller – Weiss syndrome, with further study.

Conclusion The short-term findings showed that hemiarthroplasty was practical for restoration of the talonavicular mobility maintaining stable fixation of the talus.
Arthroplasty of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the hand: the current state of the problem
Authors: Fedotov P. V. , Kovalev D. V. , Mikhailov A. S.
Published: October 2024

Introduction The proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP joint) plays an important role in ensuring optimal finger dexterity, grip strength and overall hand functionality. Arthroplasty is a promising direction in the surgical treatment of arthritis of the PIP joint of the hand, however, the inconsistency of the results encourages the  world scientific community to be restrained and further investigate the problems associated with PIP joint arthroplasty.

The purpose of the work was to identify the main problems of PIP joint arthroplasty based on the analysis of foreign and domestic medical literature.

Materials and methods In this literature review, an analysis of foreign and domestic scientific publications devoted to the treatment of diseases and injuries of PIP joint was carried out. The purpose of the study was to provide a brief historical background and identify the main problems of PIP joint arthroplasty based on the analysis of foreign and domestic medical literature.

Results and discussion The choice of the implant and the surgical aproach used are the two most frequently discussed issues in PIP joint arthroplasty; dorsal, palmar and lateral surgical approaches are described, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Dorsal approaches are used most often because they are easier to perform; however, the fragile extensor apparatus is damaged with the subsequent development of extensor lag. A number of authors concluded that stiffness and extensor lag were the most common postoperative complications. Several combinations of materials are available: from classic chrome-cobalt/polyethylene to ceramic/ceramic and pyrocarbon/pyrocarbon. Most of them have not stood the test of time yet, and for most implants there is still a lack of real long-term monitoring series for survival of the design.

Conclusion The morphology of joints, small bone sizes, complex biomechanics and the load on the hand are a  special problem in PIP joint arthroplasty. It is still not possible to restore the full range of motion in this joint, despite the success of colleagues in arthroplasty of large joints.

Authors: Fiandari Yulist Rima , Andharini Sri Nastiti
Published: October 2024

Research aims: This study analyzes consumers’ purchase intentions regarding halal toiletries by examining the independent variables of halal awareness, attitude, subjective norms and behavioral control. Design/Methodology/Approach: Data were collected from 260 consumers throughout questionnaires. The respondents had all purchased and used halal toiletries at least once. Hypothesis testing of the independent variable on the dependent variable was conducted using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis, with the Smart PLS 3.0 software.Research findings: The findings indicate that halal awareness significantly influences the purchase intention of halal toiletries and has a strong impact on customer attitudes. The results also show that subjective norms influence the purchase intention of halal toiletries. Additionally, behavioral control contributes to shaping the purchase intentions. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: The study demonstrates that well-developed halal awareness significantly influences the intention to purchase halal toiletries and is a key factor in shaping consumer attitudes. The findings also highlight the role of subjective norms in forming purchase intentions, while behavioral control plays a crucial role in supporting these intentions. Practitioners/Policy Implications: The results of this study are expected to support the development of a sustainable halal industry, especially within the toiletry sector. Research Limitations/Implications: This study is limited by the indicators tested and offers opportunities for future research to explore additional variables. Future studies could incorporate a gender perspective to provide insights into differences in purchase intentions between men and women.

Authors: Nugrahanti Yeterina Widi , Rita Maria Rio , Restuti Mitha Dwi , Hadiluwarso Melina Alicia
Published: October 2024

Research aims: The increasing phenomenon of the unwise use of Paylater in society, even among college students, is interesting to review further. This study aims to test the role of self-control and hedonistic conformity with the moderation of family financial education on the use of Paylater by university students.Design/Methodology/Approach: Primary data was obtained through a survey involving 117 respondents who have or are currently using the Paylater service. Furthermore, the data was processed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method.Research findings: This study produced the following findings: hedonistic conformity was proven to have a positive effect on the use of Paylater in the full sample and in two sub-samples. This finding is in line with the TPB modification used in this research, hedonic conformity as a proxy for subjective norms has been shown to contribute positively to the use of Paylater among colleege students. Meanwhile, the role of family financial education has not been proven to moderate the regression path of self-control and hedonic conformity on the use of Paylater.Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study contributes to enriching the literature on personal financial management, especially regarding the use of Paylater based on internal and external factors of students.Practitioners/Policy Implications: These results offer recommendations for personal financial management, especially for university students, to avoid the risk of being trapped by Paylater by paying attention to their social community and prioritizing family financial education.Research Limitations/Implications: Respondents were mostly undergraduate students, so this study cannot explain the dynamics of financial behavior among undergraduate and postgraduate students who have different demographic characteristics. Therefore, future research needs to analyze different sample groups to enrich the scientific perspective. Furthermore, to provide depth of analysis, this study proposes to add other internal aspects of the individual to the TPB theoretical framework (e.g.: perception of usury and financial risk tolerance). Last but not least, regarding the development of indicators from the family financial education variable that does not yet include personal debt management education items, hence this indicator can be added as a proxy for this variable to obtain in-depth measurements.

Published: October 2024

AIM: To evaluate the clinical outcomes after subsequent implantation of a new intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) model followed by an additional short-arc ICRS implant in keratoconus patients.
METHODS: This retrospective single-arm cohort study evaluated 25 eyes of 21 keratoconus patients implanted with the new ICRS followed by 140-arch length ICRS (140-ICRS) implantation. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA, logMAR), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA, logMAR), sphere, astigmatism, keratometry, spherical equivalent (SE), and asphericity were compared preoperatively and postoperatively after both ICRS implantation.
RESULTS: The average follow-up time after 140-ICRS implantation was 6.40±2.20mo. The mean preoperative UDVA improved from 1.27±0.14 preoperative to 0.52±0.26 after both ICRS implantation (P=0.03). The mean sphere value reduced from -5.34±2.74 preoperatively to -2.06±1.84 postoperatively (P<0.001) after the first ICRS implantation and decreased to -0.59±1.54 postoperatively (P<0.001) after 140-ICRS implantation. The mean preoperative astigmatism was -3.72±1.56 and improved to -2.82±1.08 after the first ICRS implantation, and following the 140-ICRS implantation, the mean astigmatism was -1.37±0.67 (P=0.001). The SE and asphericity changes were statistically significant (P<0.001). The researchers did not find intraoperative or postoperative complications for both procedures.
CONCLUSION: The combination of 2 different ICRSs can efficiently regularize the cornea, reduce the SE, and improve visual acuity in selected keratoconus patients.

AIM: To observe the changes in corneal subepithelial nerve fibers (CNFs) and Langerhans cells (LCs) in patients with type 2 diabetes using corneal laser confocal microscopy (CLCM).
METHODS: A total of 60 patients (64 eyes), including 40 patients with type 2 diabetes (DM group) and 20 subjects without diabetes (control group) were included with CLCM. Neuron J plugin of Image J software were used for quantitative analysis of CNF length (CNFL), CNF density (CNFD), corneal nerve branch fiber density (CNBD), main branch length density, branch length density, corneal nerve fiber tortuosity (NT) score, and LCs density. An independent samples t-test to analyze the variability between the two groups was performed, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationships between CNF and multiple biochemical indicators in the DM group. The predictive power of CNF for type 2 diabetes was assessed using the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
RESULTS: There were significant differences in the CNFL, CNFD, and main branch length density between two groups. The results of Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between CNFD and the duration of diabetes as well as triglyceride levels and total cholesterol, and a significant positive correlation between CNFD and serum albumin. In addition, the NT score showed a positive correlation and urea nitrogen, similar to the positive correlation observed between LC density and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels. CNFD showed the highest area under the curve (AUC of ROC) value, followed by main branch length density and CNFL. The AUC of the ROC curve under the logistic regression model also demonstrated good predictive values. The cut-off values of CNFD, CNFL, and main branch length density for diabetes showed 31.25, 18.85, and 12.56, respectively.
CONCLUSION: In patients with type 2 diabetes, there is a notable reduction in both CNFL and CNFD. These measurements can be influenced by various blood biochemical factors. However, the compromised nerve fibers can serve as valuable indicators for predicting the onset of type 2 diabetes and also as biomarkers for detecting diabetic neuropathy and its related complications.

Experimental determination of damping coefficient of a support with elastic ring under harmonic loading
Authors: Diligenskiy D. S. , Lezhin D. S. , Novikov D. K. , Luo Ch.
Published: October 2024

The article describes the possibility of determining the damping coefficient of a support with an elastic ring based on dry friction forces using a special test bench. The forced excitation force is set by the oscillations of a compact speaker installed on top of the oscillating mass through a U-shaped crossbar. The object of the study is a damper with an elastic ring, that is a thin-walled ring with evenly distributed bulges inside and outside, arranged in a checkerboard pattern. The damping coefficient is estimated using a device for simulating a rotor support, an acceleration sensor, an exciter speaker, a controller and a processing station. The amount of damping is estimated according to the width of the peak at the resonant frequency. A comparison is given of the magnitude of the damping coefficient obtained from the analysis of the resonance peak and from the decay rate during the impact experiment.
Intelligent robust controllers for tribotronic conical fluid film bearings
Authors: Kazakov Yu. N. , Shutin D. V. , Savin L. A.
Published: October 2024

The article presents the results of the development of means for intelligent robust control of the parameters of a tribotronic rotor-support system with a tapered bearing with a removable bush. The proposed controller is implemented on the basis of deep Q-network reinforcement learning (DQN) synthesized on the basis of a numerical model of a rotor support system. The control strategy involved simultaneous control of the shaft position and friction in the lubrication layer. Methods for control synthesis are presented for both a deterministic system and a system with stochastic parameters. In the latter case, a controller synthesis technique is proposed that takes into account uncertainties in the system at the training stage. Testing of the resulting controllers shows the better ability of a controller trained to take into account uncertainties to cope with variable loads, as well as predict possible changes in the system and proactively transfer the system to more advantageous states.

A hierarchical model of the information environment for railway power supply system critical objects control
Authors: Гайденко Олесь Сергійович , Голуб Галина Михайлівна , Кульбовський Іван Іванович
Published: October 2024

It is proposed to consider the hierarchical model of the information environment as a structure according to its functions (implemented by the software part) and architecture (responsible for effective implementation of functional capabilities). It is proposed to improve the information management system of Ukrzaliznytsia’s critical power supply facilities, based on the developed hierarchical model of the information environment, which takes into account the presence of Ukrzaliznytsia’s own generation sources by integrating the appropriate control subsystem into the information system structure. The model emphasizes the integration of software and hardware components for data collection, pre-processing, and decision-making, contributing to a highly automated and intelligent control system. It proposes a multi-level structure incorporating artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to optimize electricity consumption and improve operational efficiency within the railway power supply system.
Exu na encruza é rei no terreiro, ele é doutor: a umbanda e o patrimônio da saúde
Authors: Hasselmann Janaina Gonçalves , Meira Roberta Barros , Bandeira Dione da Rocha
Published: October 2024

O artigo visa contribuir com as pesquisas sobre as práticas medicinais exercidas em um terreiro de umbanda. Elegemos as figuras de exu e pombagira de forma a desmistificar a representação mítica de ambos no tecido social em que a eles se remete a execução de trabalhos malignos. Nossa proposta de captação de sentidos se apoia no fazer etnográfico para produção de novas fontes, visto a inexistência de estudos que dinamizem a relação saúde-doença por meio dos trabalhos e itinerários de saúde realizados pelo povo da rua. Nosso objetivo principal foi relacionar as práticas de cura com o patrimônio da saúde, uma vez que a crença nas potencialidades de exus e pombagiras influenciam a vida de seus consulentes, em um sistema de diagnóstico-tratamento-acompanhamento. Nossa problemática incide basicamente na ausência de pesquisas sistemáticas sobre processos curativos em terreiros de umbanda e sua possível relação com a categoria patrimônio da saúde. Nosso principal colaborador para tal investimento é um terreiro de umbanda localizado no município de São Francisco do Sul, SC.
Terapias religiosas e o processo saúde-doença no mercado religioso no Haiti
Authors: Gioda Fabiane Rosa , Siuda-Ambroziak Renata , Grisotti Marcia
Published: October 2024

Dentre tantos pontos que deixam transparente a vulnerabilidade da sociedade haitiana, as questões que envolvem o processo saúde-doença são os que mais induzem sofrimento e a percepção da desigualdade. Sendo o Haiti o país mais pobre da América e um dos mais pobres do mundo, edificou-se dentro da pluralidade religiosa e terapêutica oscaminhos para tentar alcançar a cura dos processos de adoecimento. A construção do percurso terapêutico dos sujeitos ao perceberem-se doentes, no entanto, além de ser influenciada pela mais profunda precariedade do sistema público de saúde, é permeada por tradições religiosas e a sua visão da etiologia da doença e métodos de cura, e uma série de conflitos religiosos envolvendo os terapias populares locais e as igrejas evangélicas. Frente a esta realidade, aproveitando da ferramentas teóricas da economia religiosa, escolha racional e da segurança existencial, o artigo busca discutir o processo de construção dos itinerários terapêuticos a partir da articulação entre os saberes, os agentes e as práticas envolvidas no processo saúde/doença, levantando questões como a concorrência religiosa no mercado de cura haitiano. Diante de trajetórias apresentadas, percebe-se a violência estrutural como um legado histórico, perpetuado ainda hoje, que inclui as religiões como determinantes do risco de adoecer e da viabilidade (ou não) para curar-se das doenças.

Da feitura de uma investigação com matemática, com arte e com filosofia, pulsa um tempo para revisitar cenas de oficinas experimentadas com crianças do quinto ano do Ensino Fundamental, no Colégio de Aplicação, da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Neste artigo, envolvemo-nos em outras problematizações que, antes em virtualidade, são agora atualizadas, forçando-nos a pensar sobre educação matemática com arte e filosofia. Para isso, considerando um conjunto de quatro oficinas ou quatro espaços para o pensamento, com a arte abstrata geométrica, falamos de martemática, confabulamos com a palavra abstrair, e problematizamos corpo e afeto na invenção de aprendizagens e experimentação de saberes. Ademais, evoca-se um exercício de produzir estilhaços de visibilidade para aquilo que estava sendo produzido com a arte e a matemática para ensinar. Com isso, escrevemos essas linhas esticando o pensamento nas relações em sala de aula, com crianças, com o abstrato, com o sensível e a visualidade, de modo a percebermos, a nós mesmos, como seres que transformam, se transformam, na e pela vida.
Esketamina nasal: análisis de la judicialización de medicamentos en el Tribunal de Justicia del Estado de Rio de Janeiro - Brasil (2021-2024) N
Authors: Díaz Rodríguez Derly Judaissy , Dutra Asensi Felipe
Published: October 2024

RESUMEN
Introducción: El presente estudio examina la judicialización de la esketamina nasal para el tratamiento de la depresión resistente en el Tribunal de Justicia del Estado de Río de Janeiro, Brasil, desde 2021 hasta 2024. La esketamina, comercializada como Spravato, fue aprobada por la Agencia Nacional de Vigilancia Sanitaria en 2020 y es un antidepresivo de administración nasal. Sin embargo, su costo y ausencia en la lista de medicamentos esenciales (RENAME) hacen que la vía judicial sea la principal forma de acceso.
Materiales y métodos: Estudio de casos, transversal y retrospectivo, de análisis de jurisprudencia de la segunda instancia del Tribunal de Justicia del Estado de Río de Janeiro (Brasil). Se seleccionaron casos iniciados entre 2021 y junio de 2024, buscando los términos "Spravato" o "esketamina" en procesos civiles. Se excluyeron casos fuera del período o duplicados. Las variables analizadas incluyeron el año de solicitud, el argumento del demandante, el perfil del demandado y la sentencia.
Resultados: Se encontraron 31 casos, con 28 sentencias favorables a la concesión del medicamento, principalmente contra seguros de salud privados. La judicialización parece estar en aumento, y la indicación médica prevalece sobre las condiciones contractuales o presupuestales.
Conclusiones: La esketamina nasal es una opción prometedora para el tratamiento de la depresión resistente, pero su costo y la necesidad de judicialización para el acceso indican la urgencia de políticas públicas que garanticen un suministro adecuado y seguro del medicamento, evitando la demora y el costo de los pedidos judiciales.

Key Considerations: Humanitarian Responses to Famine and War in Sudan
Authors: Keen David
Published: October 2024

The Republic of Sudan is suffering a catastrophic famine. The entire country is in food crisis or food emergency. In July 2024, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) declared famine in the Zamzam camp for internally displaced people in North Darfur, near El Fasher; between 500,000 to 800,000 people live in the camp.1 The IPC also reported that 755,000 people in Sudan would be ‘in catastrophe’ (IPC phase 5) in the period to September 2024, while 25.6 million people face crisis conditions, the worst levels of food security ever recorded by the IPC in Sudan.2 The significant humanitarian crisis affecting Sudan has been greatly exacerbated by the current civil war in which the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) have been fighting against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). Hunger is being used as a weapon by both sides. Every humanitarian crisis eventually gives rise to a set of ‘lessons learned’, often set out in the relevant evaluations. But there is also the possibility of ‘lessons not learned’, the title of an article on peacekeeping by Mats Berdal.3 It is true that the relevant lessons are often far from obvious or agreed upon. But it is clear that some important lessons from past crises are not being sufficiently taken into account as one crisis gives way to another. We should also recognise that it is not just humanitarians who are trying to learn lessons from humanitarian crises: those who manipulate and even promote these crises are also learning lessons about how best to do so. An important question here is: who is learning fastest? The immediate and longer-term survival of Sudan’s people depends on concerned governments learning lessons more quickly than abusive armed groups. Another concern is that the practice of ‘learning lessons’ may itself have become a kind of ritual that insures the humanitarian system against the charge of complacency while the system itself does not change very much. This brief provides humanitarian organisations with key information about the background to the current civil war in Sudan and the factors that have had a role in creating famine. The brief also looks at responses to the humanitarian crisis, highlighting reasons for civilians not having adequate protection and reasons why relief has been inadequate. The brief sets out opportunities to push against the obstacles or constraints to humanitarian relief. The brief and the key considerations have been informed from consultations with experts active in or knowledgeable about the history of Sudan and humanitarian work in Sudan, the author’s own expertise, and academic and grey literature.

Published: October 2024

The primary aim of this research is to examine to what degree communication apprehension is present among senior elementary school students and to investigate whether levels of communication apprehension as reported by participants differ along various external and internal factors. A total of 267 participants attending the fifth, sixth and seventh grades of elementary school took part in the research. Communication apprehension was investigated with an 8-item foreign language communication apprehension scale and additional background questions concerning one internal and six external factors. The findings suggest that communication apprehension exists among elementary school students to a moderate degree and that there are statistically significant differences in terms of gender, final grade in English, final average grade, attending private lessons and a perceived importance of learning English.
Exploration du potentiel de l’imagerie hyperspectrale proche infrarouge et de la chimiométrie pour discriminer la banque de graines du sol de deux espèces de bois d’Afrique centrale : Erythrophleum suaveolens (Guill. & Perr.) Brenan et Erythrophleum ivorense A. Chev.

Les semences contenues dans le stock semencier du sol peuvent être trop petites pour être quantifiées visuellement. Les essences concernées sont généralement identifiées lors d’essais de germination en pépinière, ce qui prend du temps. Cette étude examine une nouvelle approche basée sur l'imagerie hyperspectrale dans le proche infrarouge (PIR) couplée à des outils chimiométriques. Elle se concentre sur le stock semencier du sol des forêts humides africaines, qui est encore méconnu. Nous avons utilisé quatre-vingt-trois semences de deux espèces sœurs, Erythrophleum suaveolens (Guill. & Perr.) Brenan et Erythrophleum ivorense A.Chev., collectées dans le sol forestier (profondeur entre 0 et 10 cm) au Gabon, au Cameroun et au Congo. À l’aide d'analyses en composantes principales et d’analyses discriminantes par moindres carrés partiels, nous avons étudié la capacité de l'imagerie hyperspectrale dans le proche infrarouge à identifier les semences des deux espèces. La méthode est rapide, non-destructive et offre de nouvelles perspectives pour l'étude des stocks semenciers des sols forestiers.
Supporting preservice teachers to navigate the tensions of teaching English Language Arts: An examination of two teacher educator's literacies pedagogies
Authors: McKee Lori , Scheffel Tara-Lynn
Published: October 2024

In 1997-1998, we taught in the same independently funded elementary school. As teachers of Grade 1 and Grade 2, the school leadership asked us to research and recommend a program to support early reading instruction and replace the outdated basal readers. Opinions were sometimes diverse as we met with parents and school board members to identify beliefs/priorities in early reading instruction. More than 25 years later, in our work as teacher educators in two provinces, we are embroiled in similar conversations about reading instruction in a field mapped by polarizing views expressed in reports, social media, and teacher professional texts. As teacher educators, we recognize: 1) this context as challenging for preservice teachers to enter professional practice and 2) our role in supporting preservice teachers in entering the field. This was the impetus for a research study examining our pedagogies. We ask: How are we, as teacher educators, supporting preservice teachers to navigate the theoretical and practical tensions of teaching Language Arts through our pedagogies? 
In this article, we share findings from a collaborative Self-Study of Teacher Education Practice (S-STEP) where we leverage our long-standing relationship as critical friends in research/teaching to examine our teacher education pedagogies in our elementary English Language Arts courses in 2022-2023. Data sources include teaching artifacts (e.g., syllabi, powerpoints, activities) and videorecordings of discussions as we share these artifacts over Zoom. Guided by posthuman perspectives, we consider the non-human and human entities that were a part of our pedagogies. Analysis is currently underway. Preliminary findings suggest a shift from sharing particular practices with each other to a focus on decision-making to support preservice teachers in weighing the desires of teaching practices in literacies as well as diffusing binaries. This article highlights teacher education practices as relational and moving in response to context.
« Quelle est votre vision de la poésie? » : conceptions croisées de poètes québécois contemporains et d’enseignants du secondaire
Authors: Emery-Bruneau Judith , Alexandre Fednel
Published: October 2024

Les auteurs de cet article visent à comprendre comment les conceptions de pratiques sociales de référence peuvent contribuer à reconfigurer un objet d’enseignement. Dans le cas présent, ils s’intéressent à l’objet « poésie ». Une analyse de contenu du discours de 32 poètes québécois contemporains confronté à celui de 20 enseignants du secondaire a été réalisée de façon à cerner les complémentarités et les distinctions dans leurs conceptions. Quelques aspects communs ont été identifiés à première vue : la poésie est associée à un travail sur la langue, à l’expression de soi, à des visions du monde représenté et à des dimensions de l’expérience esthétique. Toutefois, les justifications que donnent les uns et les autres pour décrire ces aspects diffèrent à plusieurs égards. Les résultats ouvrent la voie à une reconfiguration de la poésie en tant qu’objet d’enseignement. Ainsi, une transposition didactique de savoirs permettant de développer un rapport plus expérientiel et créatif à la poésie comme le défendent les poètes s’ajouterait à la dimension cognitive qui domine dans les conceptions des enseignants.
“What’s the Use?”: Undoing, Decolonizing, Liberating, and Righting Literacies Assessment in Turbulent Times
Authors: Honeyford Michelle , Watt Jennifer
Published: October 2024

In this conceptual paper, we draw upon Ahmed (2019) and ask “what’s the use of assessment?” The Reimagining Literacies Assessment knowledge mobilization project contributes examples from research and pedagogy in classrooms with young children, in a Cree language immersion program, in anti-racist creative writing classrooms, and in research in reading instruction and assessment. Undoing, decolonizing, liberating, righting become concepts to think through the use of assessment and to propose critically urgent and emergent questions, practices, and possibilities for students and teachers.
A scoping review of rapid weight loss in judo athletes: prevalence, magnitude, effects on performance, risks, and recommendations

Published: October 2024

[Purpose] Combat sports, such as judo, are weight categorized. Weight control was established to promote fair disputes among individuals. However, combat sports athletes adopt rapid weight loss (RWL) to obtain an advantage over smaller and lighter opponents. This scoping review article presents the prevalence, magnitude, and methods of RWL and its effects on physical and competitive performance, health risks, and psychological effects. Specific recommendations for attenuating the effects of RWL are also presented.[Methods] Studies were retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, and Scopus databases. Four hundred and forty-six articles were identified, of which fifty-three were considered eligible for this review.[Results] The results showed that the prevalence of RWL was between 40% and 92.9% and that athletes reduced their body mass by approximately 5%. Although the literature suggests that RWL impairs the performance and psychological well-being of athletes, these results were obtained when recovery time was not provided.[Conclusion] No negative effects on performance were observed when the recovery time was >4 h. However, health risks due to RWL practices should be considered, and RWL should be avoided.

Abstract
Background: Anemia, characterized by a low number of red blood cells or hemoglobin levels, can be one of the factors that play a role in the occurrence of dysmenorrhea during menstruation. Hemoglobin is unable to fulfill its function of transporting adequate amounts of oxygen to peripheral tissues. This causes women who experience anemia to experience frequent dysmenorrhea. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between anemia and the incidence of dysmenorrhea. Methods: This research method was observational analytic with cross sectional research design. The sample in this study were 132 adolescent girls in grades 11 and 12 at Mambaus Sholihin Islamic Boarding School, Gresik District, East Java. Data analysis in this study was chi square test. Results: The results showed that 34.1% were anemic and 65.9% were not anemic. Adolescents who experienced dysmenorrhea were 91.7% and 8.3% did not experience dysmenorrhea. Statistical tests to analyze the relationship between anemia and the incidence of dysmenorrhea using chisquare obtained pvalue = 0.01. Conclusion: There is a relationship between anemia and the incidence of dysmenorrhea at Mambaus Sholihin Islamic Boarding School.
