Działalność wydawnicza diecezji katowickiej w pierwszym pięćdziesięcioleciu jej istnienia
Authors: Mierzwa Irena
Published: October 2023

Przedmiotem artykułu są dzieje wydawnictwa, powstałego w Katowicach jako Księgarnia Katolicka, przekształconego później w Księgarnię i Drukarnię Katolicką, a po II wojnie światowej w Księgarnię św. Jacka. Dziedzictwo błogosławionego Jana Sarkandra w Cieszynie, powstałe znacznie wcześniej (1873) i do r. 1934 działające jako stowarzyszenie niezależnie od diecezji, zostało uwzględnione tylko w zakresie jego powiązań z diecezją, które doprowadziły do przejęcia części jego spadku wydawniczego przez Księgarnię św. Jacka. Uwagę skupiono na wydawnictwach zwartych.

Published: October 2023

Universal Precautions are measures taken to reduce the risk of transmission of hospital acquired infections. The purpose of the study was to assess the knowledge and practice of universal precaution in preventing Nosocomial infection among Nurses and Midwives in the hospital environment. Facility – based cross-sectional study design was used for the research. Data were collected using a pretested structured questionnaire.  Data were analyzed and interpreted using Likert Scale, Frequency tables and percentages. The result shows that all the 102 respondents have good knowledge of universal precaution. 96 respondents (94%) see universal precautions as a means to curb nosocomial infection. 96 respondents (94%) agreed that strict observance of the universal precaution should be observed before and after every nursing procedure, while 30 respondents (30%) are of the opinion that universal precaution is observed only before performing an invasive procedure, 42 respondents (41%) stated that universal precaution should be carried out only when infection is suspected. 80 respondents (78%) stated that inadequate hospital equipment affect the practice of universal precaution while 805 respondents (83%)  stated that work overload affects the practice of universal precaution. 96 respondents (94%) stated that lack of enough manpower and equipment is affecting their ability to stick to the routine of universal precaution. in conclusion, the result shows that Nurses have knowledge  on universal precaution in preventing Nosocomial infections but there exists a  gap between knowledge and practice which could be attributed to shortage of manpower and equipment.
RETHINKING REGIONALISM BEYOND EUROPEAN INTEGRATION
Authors:   School of Politics and International Relations, Quaid-i-Azam University, Islamabad, Pakistan, Ahmad Ishtiaq
Published: October 2023

The post-Cold War era has witnessed a notable proliferation of regional organizations in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. This “new regionalism” wave stands distinct from the process of European integration following World War II, as it is characterized by its expanding scope, diverse nature, fluidity, and heterogeneity. Traditional Eurocentric theories of economic integration, which presumed the establishment of supranational institutions, possess limited applicability when regionalism evolves as an intergovernmental endeavor among sovereign states. Consequently, the prevailing notion of Europe as a model for regional integration worldwide is challenged by this regional trend. This article aims to provide a theoretical framework for understanding the phenomenon of “new regionalism” that is compatible with the socio-economic and political realities of developing countries, particularly considering their reluctance to compromise political sovereignty. It begins by examining the evolution of Eurocentric theories of economic integration and underscores their limitations in the context of the developing world. The concluding section presents a theoretical framework that extends beyond Europe for comprehending regionalism. Keywords: Regionalism, Europe, Integration, New Regionalism.

Authors: Vallabh Deulkar Priyanka , Mathrusri Annapurna Mukthinuthalapati
Published: October 2023

Rilpivirine is a new second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor used as an anti-viral drug. A new stability indicating reverse phase ultrafast liquid chromatographic method was developed for the assay of Rilpivirine in tablet dosage forms. A Shimadzu UFLC system equipped with Phenomenex C8 column and PDA detector was employed for the chromatographic study. Mobile phase mixture consisting of 10 mM tetra butyl ammonium hydrogen sulphate: Acetonitrile (55: 45) and flow rate 1.0 mL/min (UV detection at 280 nm). Beer-Lambert’s law was obeyed over a concentration range 0.05-40 µg/mL. The linear regression equation was found to be y = 254045x + 11208 (r2 = 0.9999). The LOD and LOQ was found to be and 0.0136 and 0.0414 µg/mL respectively. Stress degradation studies were performed and the method was validated as per ICH guidelines. The proposed method is simple, precise, accurate and robust and can be applied for the quantification of Rilpivirine tablet dosage forms.

НАРОДНА ПІСНЯ: РИТМІЧНА ОРГАНІЗАЦІЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО ОРИГІНАЛУ ТА АНГЛІЙСЬКОГО ПЕРЕКЛАДУ
Authors: РЕНСЬКА І. І.
Published: October 2023

Українська народна пісня – душа нашого народу. У ній розкривається характер, традиції, ментальність. Україна зараз на вустах у всього світу й українська пісня стає популярною та модною тенденцією. Отже мета українців популяризувати українську культуру, особливо пісню, яку співатимуть в усьому світі. Саме зараз так важливо перекладати українські народні пісні англійською мовою, щоб англомовні країни, які нас підтримують, відчули наш дух незламності, але в той же час красу, гумор та витонченість української душі. Широкомасштабне вторгнення РФ в Україну згуртувало демократичний світ. Серед країн, які з перших днів великої війни простягнули руку допомоги та підтримують нашу боротьбу, були англомовні країни – Великобританія, США, Канада та ін. Збільшився інтерес до України, її мови, історії, культури. Авторка цього дослідження разом з українськими та іноземними студентами Національного університету біоресурсів і природокористування України на заняттях з англійської мови, факультативах, позааудиторних заходах проводила конкурси з перекладу українських народних пісень англійською мовою. Саме про важливість українського фольклору автор статті мала за честь слухати на лекціях видатного дослідника та Вчителя Станіслава Росовецького. У багатогранному науковому доробку вченого є звернення до точних методів у дослідженні фольклору. Матеріал нашого дослідження – українська народна пісня «Несе Галя воду» та її англійський переклад «Halya carries water». Ця пісня є таким чудовим прикладом, де перетинаються інтриги особистого життя героїв, а також гордість та мудрість персонажів. Дослідження проведено за допомогою експериментально-фонетичних прийомів на комп'ютері, на якому були сегментовані мовленнєві континууми, створена база динамічних комп'ютерних осцилограм і спектрограм, синхронізовані аудіовізуальні та параметричні показники мовлення. У нашому експерименті встановлено, що ритмічна організація української народної пісні та її англійського перекладу будується на базових ритмах: строфічному, віршованому, римування, римованому і звуковому.
СТИЛІСТИЧНІ ФУНКЦІЇ АНГЛІЗМІВ У ТВОРЧОМУ ДОРОБКУ СЕРГІЯ ЖАДАНА
Authors: ЛЕНСЬКА С. В.
Published: October 2023

У статті розглянуто стилістичну специфіку функціювання лексико-семантичних груп англізмів на матеріалі оповідань збірки «Бiґ Мак та інші історії» Сергія Жадана з опертям на функційну граматику сучасної української мови. Широке розмаїття лексико-семантичного наповнення англізмів, репрезентованих в оповіданнях збірки, дає змогу виокремити такі тематичні групи, різні за наповненням і продуктивністю: «соціальні реалії», «гастрономічні реалії», «апелятиви», «одяг і стиль», «культура та спорт», «економічні реалії», «цифрові реалії», «побутові реалії», «кримінальні реалії», «медичні реалії». З’ясовано специфіку вираження стилістичного потенціалу одиниць англійського походження кожної з виокремлених лексико-семантичних груп. Репрезентанти груп «соціальні реалії» й «апелятиви» виявляють найвищу продуктивність та найпотужнішу експресивністю. Це пов’язано з актуальністю позначуваних ними понять для реалізації авторської ідеї. Англізми на позначення культурних і гастрономічних реалій є менш продуктивними, проте мають у собі значне ідейне навантаження, слугуючи в оповіданнях символом чужинності й неприродності засилля американської культури. Відтак, засвідчено високий стилістичний потенціал англізмів цих груп. Лексеми на позначення цифрових та економічних реалій мають обмежену продуктивність та експресивний потенціал. Найменш продуктивними є групи, що йменують одяг, а також кримінальні, побутові й медичні реалії, які виявляють стилістичну маркованість лише в певних контекстах. Обмежену експресивність цих одиниць пояснюємо їхнім відносно низьким ідейно-символічним навантаженням. Отож, доведено наявність взаємозв’язку між реалізацією стилістичного потенціалу англізмів, що належать до окремих лексико-семантичних груп із різною продуктивністю, та художнім навантаженням аналізованих лексем щодо реалізації авторської ідеї.
ПОЕТИКА МІФУ ТА СИМВОЛІКА В РОМАНІ ВАСИЛЯ ЗЕМЛЯКА «ЛЕБЕДИНА ЗГРАЯ»
Authors: ТКАЧЕНКО О. П.
Published: October 2023

Роману Василя Земляка «Лебедина зграя» притаманна наскрізна символіка, автор часто вдається до асоціацій зі стародавньою історією та використовує поетику міфу. Зокрема, через увесь твір проходить біблійний образ Вавилонської башти. Будівництво Вавилонської вежі символізує собою людську пиху й зарозумілість, що в романі пов’язується з комунізацією української землі й дозволяє спрогнозувати ганебне завершення цього зухвалого проекту. Василь Земляк самобутньо інтерпретує супровідні до будівництва Вавилонської вежі біблійні концепти «велелюддя», «стовпотворіння», «змішання» та «розсіяння народів». Оскільки однією із засадничих рис химерного роману є гумор, біблійна символіка осмислюється не лише на серйозному рівні, а й зі сміхом. Це стосується таких образів, як Вавилонська вежа, вавилонська блудниця, вавилонські боги, вавилонський чорт, кара єгипетська тощо. Також Василь Земляк іронічно обіграв у романі стародавній міф про сотворіння людини з глини, натякаючи на комуністичний заміс нової, т. зв. «червоної» людини. В оповідній стратегії роману великого значення набуває образ «двох Вавилонів». Найчастіше йдеться про верхній та нижній Вавилони, причому ця топографічна відмінність сповнена глибокого сенсу. Образ двоїстого топосу дозволив авторові символічно окреслити ворожнечу й розбрат, що зароїлися у Вавилоні з часу появи там комуністів. У «Лебединій зграї» більшовизм-комунізм символічно прив’язаний до «низу», «вгорі» ж перебуває заможне селянство, яке опирається свавіллю нової влади. Вагому семантичну роль у романі відіграє переселення персонажів. Переміщення вниз пов’язане з втратою позитивних якостей, натомість перебування вверху чи рух угору означають моральне удосконалення героїв. Примітно, що переселення вниз персонажів «Лебединої зграї» супроводжується їхньою комунізацією, і навпаки.

Published: October 2023

Human endogenous retroviruses (hERVs) have emerged as a mechanism for tumor development and progression in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Increased expression of various hERVs has been reported in ccRCC with associated activation of anti-tumor immune responses. Retrospective analysis of hERV expression in human ccRCC tumor tissue suggests hERV expression may be associated with improved response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. However, the use of expression to predict response is limited by our ability to annotate and detect hERV expression. This review discusses the biology of hERVs, their role in ccRCC, and the possible impact on ccRCC response to immunotherapy.

urbanización como dispositivo de reivindicación histórica por el derecho a la ciudad en Santiago de Chile (1930-1950)
Authors: Prudant Elisabet
Published: October 2023

O artigo analisa as reivindicações de urbanização de moradores de alguns bairros suburbanos de Santiago entre 1930 e 1950 como expressão de um processo de apropriação de seu espaço habitado e de resistência à dinâmica de desigualdade características do desenvolvimento metropolitano na América Latina. Desde essa perspectiva, examinam-se as demandas inscritas no conceito significante de dignidade por parte das associações de moradores de bairro. Do mesmo modo, aborda-se a dimensão política do associativismo e das práticas de afirmação surgidas da periferia pelo direito à cidade. Como fonte histórica, é utilizado um conjunto de pequenos jornais produzidos e colocados em circulação em vários bairros da periferia de Santiago, que permitem estudar como as classes trabalhadoras que sofreram com os problemas urbanos ativaram formas de reivindicação contra a segregação espacial.
Situações intermediárias entre a escravidão e a liberdade:
Authors: Radunz Roberto
Published: October 2023

As pesquisas a respeito da condição cativa no Brasil, sobretudo no Brasil imperial, têm se voltado a trabalhar numa redução de escala onde são visibilizados sujeitos escravizados na luta pela liberdade. Entre as fontes utilizadas nesses trabalhos, também se encontram processos judiciais onde escravos aparecem na condição de vítimas ou de réus. O processo em questão está acervado no Arquivo Público do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul (APERS).  O caso de Marcelina, liberta sob condição de trabalhar para seus senhores até a morte desses, se enquadra nessa lógica. Ela foi colocada nessa condição na antevéspera do Natal de 1869, o que não significou que tenha tido sua vida transformada por esse ato. O processo evidencia violência de várias naturezas, entre elas sevícias e agressões. Ferida, Marcelina buscou, na rede de suas relações, sair da esfera do domínio senhorial para ser depositada em outra residência. A trama do processo demonstra, nesse pequeno universo, além da rede de relações, temas caros a pesquisa que diz respeito a sujeitos escravizados, tais como: violência, agressões, disputas de classe, arranjos jurídicos e os mecanismos de manutenção do estatuto escravista.
Improvement of the WTO Dispute Settlement System Effectiveness and the Monetary Compensation
Authors: Oliveira Luciana Maria Brassolatti de
Published: October 2023

This article examines the effectiveness of the suspension of concessions or other obligations taking into consideration the interpretation of the objectives of that measure by WTO doctrine and case law. In order to access if the suspension of concessions contributes to the effective implementation of the WTO DSB decisions and recommendations, the article adopts the theoretical concept of technical efficiency. Departing from an argument based on WTO doctrine and on the analysis of cases adjudicated by the WTO DSB, in which the measure was applied, the study demonstrates a mere partial efficaciousness of the suspension of concessions for the DSB compliance procedure. In this regard, it is suggested that the DSU adopts the institute of reparation, present in the International Public Law, aiming to stablish the obligation of indemnify the damages caused throughout the dispute settlement procedure, due to the continuation of the illegal practice by the transgressor member. The article concludes, therefore, with a proposal for including the retroactive monetary compensation in the DSU, in order to reinforce its compliance procedure and offering more effectiveness to the WTO DSS.
Estado, Sociedade e Indivíduos: as dimensões do poder punitivo
Authors: Pereira Eliomar da Silva
Published: October 2023

Considera-se o poder punitivo como algo que concerne ao Estado, sem levar muito em conta a sociedade nem os indivíduos: quem de fato o exerce? O objetivo desse artigo é discutir as dimensões do poder punitivo, segundo três possíveis respostas que enfatizam o papel do Estado, da sociedade e dos indivíduos, adotando uma metodologia expositiva de concepções que defendem cada uma dessas perspectivas. Argumenta-se que, embora seja possível reconhecer na ação individual o papel prático imediato, é nas ações social e estatal que se se identifica melhor o seu significado, como aquilo que faz da punição um ato específico distinto do crime. Ao final, com essa abordagem, espera-se demonstra por que razão o poder punitivo se compreende melhor como uma espécie de poder simbólico, que emerge de uma interação entre indivíduos em instituições até legitimar-se no poder estatal.

A tese da analiticidade na Fundamentação da Metafísica dos Costumes
Authors: Santo Marília Espirito
Published: October 2023

Na terceira seção da Fundamentação da metafísica dos costumes, Kant afirma que "uma vontade livre e uma vontade sob leis morais são uma e a mesma coisa" (4: 447). Difundida na literatura como tese da reciprocidade, o sentido dessa afirmação depende da caracterização da Einerleiheit a que se refere Kant. A questão é determinar se o adjetivo einerlei designa uma identidade entre o conceito de vontade livre e o conceito de vontade sob leis morais ou, mais que isso, uma mesmidade. A partir da compreensão do exato sentido da noção de liberdade, que aparece sob diversas acepções na Fundamentação, e do exato sentido da expressão "sob leis morais", que é representada, de modo sintético, como imperativo categórico pelos seres racionais imperfeitos, sustentamos que, no contexto argumentativo em que é enunciada, a tese de Kant se refere a uma relação de analiticidade entre liberdade e moralidade restrita aos seres racionais perfeitos.
Microfinance Credit and Financial Performance of Small and Medium Enterprises in Nairobi City County
Authors:   Kenyatta University, Kaboka Nelson
Published: October 2023

The study examined the impact of microfinance credit the financial performance of SMEs situated in Nairobi CBD. The research employed a cross-sectional descriptive survey methodology and focused on business owners and managers of SMEs located in the Nairobi CBD. The licensing department of Nairobi City County in 2017’s data informed the sample selection process. The researchers utilized a stratified random sampling methodology in order to include 70 individuals in the investigation. The primary instrument employed for data collection was a semi-structured questionnaire. The research was carried out utilizing SPSS 25.0, which encompassed the application of both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The researchers employed a multivariate linear regression model to assess the variable’s statistical significance. The findings of the analysis were graphically represented through the utilization of tables and bar charts. The study’s coefficient was 0.631, accompanied by an adjusted R-squared value of 0.606. Both of these values were determined to have statistical significance with 95% CI. The findings of this research indicate that several factors, such as collateral security, loan-income ratio, branch penetration, and credit rating, collectively account for 63.1% of the variability SMEs performance in the Nairobi CBD. The findings of the study indicate that the inclusion of collateral security has a significant impact on performance (β = 0.251, p = 0.014 < 0.05). In a similar manner, it was found that the ratio of loans to income and the level of branch penetration had a statistically significant positive effect on financial performance (β = 0.238, p = 0.024 < 0.05; β = 0.382, p = 0.004 < 0.05, respectively). However, the study indicated that there was a positive trend in association between credit rating and SME performance. However, this trend was not statistically significant (β = 0.022, p = 0.844 > 0.05). This study draws a conclusion based on the empirical evidence provided, suggesting that collateral security has a significant and beneficial influence on SMEs performance in Nairobi CBD. Furthermore, the sustainability of small and medium companies (SMEs) inside the Central Business District of Nairobi is contingent upon some essential aspects pertaining to microfinance funding. Additionally, they should engage in thorough pre-loan planning and steadfastly adhere to their initial strategies in order to augment their financial performance.

Repairing Tradition: Vernacular Knowledge, Cognitive Spaces, and Economies of Work in an Agricultural Repair Shop
Authors: Laudun John
Published: October 2023

Making and remaking have long been intertwined. While there is a rich history of artisanal, craft, and industrial fabrication in folklore studies and history, histories and studies of repair have only recently begun to emerge as part of a larger effort to re-think the nature of creativity (and thus also of tradition). Dotting urban and rural landscapes around the world, repair shops occupy physical and mental spaces situated between maintaining things as they are and creating something entirely new. That is, repair is not just a matter of re-creating an object; rather, it is the product of an engagement with not only the object itself but also the environment in which it is found. Repair draws to it both simple fixes that re-integrate an artifact as well as more complex forms of disintegration and integration of seemingly disparate parts that lead to novel combinations and utility. Drawing on extensive ethnographic observation of a repair shop in the Louisiana prairies, the current study seeks to understand repair as a complex socio-technical system, a negotiation of the world as it is with the world as it should be.

An Indirect Prediction Method based on Feature Extraction of Lithium-ion Batteries Remaining Useful Life
Authors: Deng Zhiqiang , Wang Dewen
Published: October 2023

Predicting the remaining useful life (RUL) of lithium-ion batteries is of paramount significance for the lifespan management of electric vehicles. This study delves into a feature extraction-based approach for indirectly predicting RUL in lithium-ion batteries, circumventing the limitations posed by the challenge of measuring capacity during battery operation. Initially, the health feature (HF) exhibiting strong correlations with capacity is extracted from localized charging voltage intervals, and capacity estimates are obtained through polynomial fitting. Subsequently, a dynamic long short-term memory (D-LSTM) neural network is established, iteratively incorporating prediction outcomes into training data to continuously enhance the model and ultimately accomplish RUL prediction. Experimental results conducted on batteries with varying initial states from the NASA dataset highlight the substantial accuracy and robustness of the proposed D-LSTM method. It outperforms other commonly utilized models, offering the capability for online RUL prediction.

Authors: Yin Di , Zhang Chenya , Lu Xindi
Published: October 2023

The single pile offshore wind power foundation structure is the most widely used form of offshore wind power platform. The rotating frequency of the blade in the wind turbine has an important impact on the dynamic characteristics of the structure. The rule requires that the excitation frequency should avoid the natural frequency of the structure. In the numerical simulation, the pile-soil interaction is considered by applying boundary conditions. The typical foundation structures, single pile, is selected, to analyze the influence of different boundary conditions on the natural vibration characteristics of single pile offshore wind power foundation structure in ANSYS modal. And a simplified method of boundary conditions suitable for ANSYS modal analysis is proposed. The results show that the simplified boundary condition method proposed in this paper is suitable for modal analysis of single pile offshore wind power foundation structure.
Hebzucht. Niemand kan twee heren dienen
Authors: Sterkens Carl
Published: October 2023

Hebzucht is een zonde omdat in haar perspectief bezitsverwerving niet in het teken van eigen behoeften staat, maar buitensporig en onverzadigbaar is. Het berokkent anderen of de samenleving schade en is strijdig met principes van liefdadigheid en gerechtigheid. Vanuit religieus perspectief is hebzucht zondig omdat ze het tijdelijke boven het eeuwige plaatst. Armoede en ongelijkheid zijn echter niet altijd het gevolg van hebzucht, en dat compliceert morele oordeelsvorming. Hebzucht heeft begrijpelijke motieven. Naast consumentisme, kan hebzucht worden verklaard vanuit het menselijk streven naar autonomie, zekerheid, waardigheid en status. Bovendien kan bezit troost bieden voor wat mensen anderszins tekortkomen. Empirisch onderzoek toont aan dat religiositeit (matig) positief samenhangt met contra-indicatoren van hebzucht: instemming met sociaaleconomische mensenrechten; vrijwilligerswerk als generositeit in termen van tijd; en het geven van geld aan goede doelen.
Afgunst. Reflecties over invidia divina
Authors: De Kesel Marc
Published: October 2023

Dit hoofdtuk presenteert een reflectie over ‘goddelijke afgunst’, de afgunst die van het goddelijke uitgaat. Na een kort evocatie van de afgunst – invidia – die Romeinse (heidense) goden kenmerkt, concentreert het hoofdstuk zich op de afgunst/invidia die aan de monotheïstische God wordt toegeschreven. Meer bepaald wordt alle ruimte gegeven aan de vraag of en hoe God, als hij de Waarheid is, überhaupt jaloers zou kunnen zijn. Sluiten waarheid en jaloersheid elkaar niet categorisch uit? Kan een waarheid die jaloers is, nog wel waarheid zijn? De vraag wordt nog pregnanter als die waarheid zich, zoals een kerngedachte van het christendom voorhoudt, als ‘liefde’ definieert. Menselijk liefde is zonder afgunst en jaloersheid niet denkbaar, maar hoe kan een goddelijke liefde nog afgunstig zijn. De lectuur van een paar mystieke teksten confronteren ons met de diepgang van het probleem, een probleem dat misschien wel als ‘invidia theologica’ getypeerd kan worden.
Billijkheid. Korte geschiedenis van een ongrijpbare deugd
Authors: Bocken Inigo
Published: October 2023

De geschiedenis van de deugd die in het Nederlands als ‘billijkheid’ wordt aangeduid, in het Grieks epieikeia en in het Latijn meestal aequitas genoemd wordt, heeft een enigszins nomadisch karakter. Zij beweegt zich tussen moraalfilosofie, recht, theologie en metafysica. Deze geschiedenis betreft het vermogen om met regels om te gaan en de ruimte te leren zien die tussen de regels bestaat. Niet toevallig heeft deze deugd bij de Moderne denkers een slechte naam gekregen. Toch is het vandaag de dag nodig zich terug op deze geschiedenis te bezinnen.

Epistemologias do Sul e Saúde Coletiva: diálogos sobre Saúde da População Negra no cenário brasileiro
Authors: Lopes Winnie Samanú
Published: October 2023

Este artigo refere-se à aula ministrada no curso de Serviço Social (UFBA) sobre Epistemologias do Sul e vem com o objetivo de dialogar e contextualizar como, historicamente, as reinvindicações e atuação frente às negligências à Saúde da População Negra no cenário pré e pós-abolicionista, comungam com os ideários e ações que constituíram o Movimento Brasileiro de Reforma Sanitária. Sob a luz da perspectiva histórica de consolidação do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e dos apontamentos dos movimentos sociais negros e das normativas internacionais de acesso à saúde como direito fundamental, ressalto a importância das discussões sobre raça, racismo e saúde para o fortalecimento das ações empreendidas em prol de um SUS equânime. Ainda sobre a Saúde da População Negra, desloco os olhares para as práticas que evidenciam um grande esforço contra-hegemônico na garantia de direitos e na redução das graves iniquidades raciais vivenciadas pela população negra dentro do Sistema Único de Saúde.
Mathematics on News: How do Students Interpret Percentages in Daily Life Situations?
Authors: BAĞDAT Ayşe , BAĞDAT Osman
Published: October 2023

Contexts with real-life situations can be more motivating for students, increase students' attitudes and interest, and strengthen the connection between mathematics and daily life. This study examined student interpretations of News texts consisting entirely of real-life situations and including percentage representations. In this qualitative case study, data were obtained from 30 8th grade students. Students were asked 6 News texts containing various percentage values and were expected to explain what they understood from these percentage values. The data obtained from the study were subjected to content analysis and interpreted by authors. The results indicate that students have difficulty in interpreting real-life situations involving percentage representation, and very few students make clear and understandable comments about real-life situations. It suggests that most students focused solely on the numerical growth of the percentage expression. Some students struggled with the News text, while others provided irrelevant, unclear, or meaningless responses. According to these findings, it is recommended that students' interpretations of real-world context in mathematics lessons be discussed more frequently in the classroom settings.
