ABSTRACT Golden mussel is an invasive species in Brazil which impacts local environments, dislocating native species and altering microecological conditions as well as affecting hydroelectric power plants and water treatment systems. The objective of this research is to establish a method that is both effective and efficient to quantify the population of the Golden mussel in hydroelectric power plant reservoirs, with a focus on population control measures. A two-dimensional mathematical model was developed combining hydrodynamics and populational dynamics to simulate the distribution of mussels in a reservoir. The results showed that dam’s region was progressively infested, and after 18 months of simulation it has reached around 80% of its carrying capacity. The method proved to be satisfactory and the generated map of cluster locations for the golden mussel corresponds to field observations. Furthermore, the result of the algae density simulation matched chlorophyll-a density map obtained from satellite images. The methodology can be further applied to new areas and could be expanded to predict population variations in order to guide environmental measures for preservation and recovery of impacted reservoirs, presenting another tool for hydroelectric operators who can use information together with field inspections to plan maintenance intervals before infestation damages equipment.

Published: March 2022

Abstract The objective of this work was to determine the solubility of biotite schist rock powder by different methods, as well as the potential toxicity/accumulation of its metals in Danio rerio freshwater fish. Solubility was tested in ultrapure water and in CaCl2 solution (10 mmol L-1). Metal contents were analyzed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy. Fish were separated into different groups and then exposed to biotite schist powder. The solubility of toxic elements in water is not lethal, and, 30 days after the end of exposure, there is no accumulation of metals in the fish.

Published: March 2022

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the use of the surface moisture data generated by the temperature-vegetation dryness index (TVDI), obtained from sensors positioned on the surface of a soybean (Glycine max) agricultural field. The dry and wet limits of the index were obtained using Landsat-8 images covering the region around the crop. To assess the quality and consistency of the TVDI, a correlation analysis was carried out between the TVDI, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), surface temperature (TS), and the variables that are usually used to express surface moisture. The TVDI showed a significant correlation with soil moisture, water storage in the soil, water deficit, real evapotranspiration, and the real evapotranspiration/potential evapotranspiration ratio. The displacement of radiometric data measured on the surface (NDVI and TS) within the evaporative triangle, adjusted with orbital data, consistently describes the variability of water conditions during the study period, being a tool to support decision-making in crop management.
Corpo e prática pedagógica: diálogos entre dimensões pessoal e profissional no ensino de educação física
Authors: Pereira Paula Pessoa dos Santos de Nader , Silva Alan Camargo , Lüdorf Sílvia Maria Agatti
Published: March 2022

Resumo A escola e a educação física têm papel fundamental na formação de visões e concepções de corpo dos discentes, sendo importante haver uma educação que considere as diferenças e reflexões sobre questões voltadas ao corpo. O professor de educação física está inserido em um contexto sociocultural de ideais de corpo e de cuidados de si que, de certo modo, podem relacionar-se com sua intervenção pedagógica. Até que ponto a inserção social e a trajetória pessoal e/ou profissional do professor podem impactar em sua prática pedagógica? O objetivo deste estudo foi compreender as eventuais relações entre as formas como os professores de educação física lidam com seu próprio corpo e as possíveis implicações em sua prática pedagógica. A partir de uma abordagem qualitativa, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com doze professores de educação física escolar que atuavam no primeiro segmento do ensino fundamental de uma instituição federal. Também foram feitos registros em diário de campo e verificação de documentos da instituição. O tratamento do material empírico foi feito com base na análise de conteúdo, a partir dos princípios básicos da repetição e da relevância. Constatou-se que as experiências pessoais relacionadas com o corpo interferem nas práticas pedagógicas desses professores. Nota-se também um esforço de atualização de vivências corporais visando à renovação da prática pedagógica. Conclui-se, portanto, que há relações entre a vida pessoal e a profissional do docente de educação física, pois as representações dos professores interferem em seus fazeres pedagógicos, mas o que desenvolvem e buscam trabalhar em aula também marca seus corpos e pode mudar suas concepções.

Abstract The present study aimed to evaluate the changes in peripheral blood glucose concentrations induced by Schistosoma mansoni infection in Holochilus sciureus rodents, a wild reservoir of the parasite. Glucose concentration was measured in the plasma of blood samples using a colorimetric enzymatic test. Biological parameters and S. mansoni burden in each rodent were also verified and correlated with glucose concentrations. A total of 76 H. sciureus were captured, out of which 20 (26%) were infected with S. mansoni (n=13 males and n=7 females). Although the parasite burden was comparable between the sexes, blood glucose concentration was lower in infected males and almost unchanged in females. Furthermore, histopathological data revealed that male rodents had a greater hepatic granulomatous inflammatory reaction than females. In addition, we also confirmed that the weight and total length of the analyzed animals had no effect on glucose levels. Therefore, natural infection with S. mansoni in H. sciureus may have a lower impact on glycemic homeostasis in females, which will help us understand the role of these rodents as reservoirs of S. mansoni.
Description of Four New Species of the Habenaria repens Complex (Orchidaceae) from Brazil Based on a Biosystematic and Molecular Phylogenetic Approach

Published: March 2022

Abstract— The Habenaria repens complex comprises ca. 14 species distributed from the southern United States to northern Argentina. In Brazil, several morphotypes with similar ecological preferences to H. repens s. s. occur, which have made identification
at the specific level challenging. In an associated article using molecular phylogenetic, morphometry, and population genetic analyses, we showed that the H. repens complex is polyphyletic and subdivided into three main distantly related clades. Four of the studied morphotypes are phylogenetically
distant from H. repens s. s. and morphologically distinct from all other taxa in the complex. They are described here as H. bryophila, H. hygrophila, H. subrepens, and H. compluviosa. Similarly to H. repens s. s., these
newly proposed species show preferences for aquatic environments, but differ in habitat specificity, phenology, and morphology. The new taxa are restricted to upland, wet grasslands associated with campos rupestres occurring in the Espinhaço Range in the states of Minas Gerais and Bahia,
or other mountainous areas of Minas Gerais and Goiás. We provide a diagnosis with detailed morphological characterization for each species, including etymology, distribution, informal conservation assessments, data on habitat and phenology, notes, images, and diagnostic characters to
separate them from each other and H. repens s. s.
Molecular and Morphological Analysis Supports the Separation ofRobrichiaas a Genus Distinct fromEnterolobium(Leguminosae: Caesalpinioideae: Mimosoid Clade)
Authors: Souza Élvia Rodrigues de , Luz Anne Ranielly Monteiro , Rocha Lamarck , Lewis Gwilym P.
Published: March 2022

Abstract—As currently circumscribed, the legume genusEnterolobiumcomprises 11 species in two sections:E.sect.EnterolobiumandE.sect.Robrichia, with an overall distribution from Mexico to Argentina and a centre of diversity in Amazonia. In the absence of the characteristic indehiscent fruits,Enterolobiumis difficult to distinguish from other genera in the ingoid clade, includingAlbiziasensu lato,Samanea, andCathormion. Previous phylogenetic studies which have includedEnterolobiumhave sampled few species of the genus, leaving questions about its monophyly and interspecific relationships. Here we evaluate the circumscription ofEnterolobiumand its two infrageneric taxa, their phylogenetic placement in the ingoid clade, and interspecific relationships within the two sections of the genus. Our study includes allEnterolobiumspecies, and analyses of nuclear (ITS and ETS) and plastid (trnD-TandtrnL-F) molecular regions, and morphology. Bayesian inference, maximum parsimony, and maximum likelihood analyses show thatEnterolobium, as presently circumscribed, is not monophyletic. The genus is divided into two well-supported independent clades, corresponding to the two previously recognized sections; one of them is sister to the genusLeucochloronand is here raised to generic rank as the genusRobrichia, with three species,Robrichia glaziovii,Robrichia oldemaniiandRobrichia schomburgkii. The genusEnterolobiumconsequently now comprises eight species and is more closely related to a clade composed ofAlbiziaandFalcataria. This new arrangement is reinforced by morphological synapomorphies recovered by ancestral character state reconstructions. Indumentum type, the number of pinnae pairs per bipinnate leaf and leaflet pairs per pinna, inflorescence type, and fruit shape characterizeRobrichia, while the recognition ofEnterolobiumremains based on fruit traits. We also provide the formal lectotypifications forE. contortisiliquum,E. cyclocarpum,E. gummiferum,E. maximum,E. monjollo, andR. schomburgkii.
Characteristics of particle breakage and constitutive model of coarse granular material incorporating gradation evolution
Authors: Zhao Feixiang , Chi Shichun
Published: March 2022

Single particle crushing tests were carried out to research the breakage characteristics of natural rockfill particle. The results showed that the size distribution of broken particles can be described by the normal distribution, and the size distributions of all size fractions converge to a uniform normal distribution after being normalised by the size of the parent particle. Based on the breakage characteristics of rockfill particles, a gradation evolution model was proposed to predict the evolution of the gradation curve of triaxial specimen. This model adopts the loading manner of incremental stress. The correlation among the relative breakage indexes was analysed in terms of the ratio of areas enclosed by the gradation curves and it was found that there is a linear relationship between different indexes. This indicates that there is no essential difference among these indexes from the mathematical point of view. Finally, an elastoplastic constitutive model incorporating the gradation evolution model was developed. This model can predict the stress–strain behaviour and gradation evolution of triaxial specimens of limestone rockfill under the conditions of consolidation, drained and quasi-static shear loading.

Published: March 2022

The inoculum sources of phytoplasmas associated with carrot severe yellowing and reddening symptoms were investigated in Ankara and Konya provinces, Turkey. The presence of 16SrVI and 16SrI-related phytoplasmas in the seeds of seven carrot cultivars that are widely cultivated in the regions, as well as in weeds in the fields, was determined in this study. Sequence analysis was confirmed existing phytoplasma groups in samples were determined by using conventional molecular methods (nested-PCR) and the obtained results were supported by phylogenetic studies. In addition, the obtained nucleotide sequences were compared with the reference phytoplasma sequences by in silico PCR-RFLP analysis. Daucus carota wild, Medicago sativa, Conium maculatum, and Sinapis arvensis weeds were infected with the 16SrVI (Clover proliferation) phytoplasma group. In addition, 16SrVI and 16SrI (Aster yellows) phytoplasma groups were identified in seedlings germinated from seeds of seven carrot cultivars: one was a local red carrot cultivar and six were commercially produced cultivars. To our knowledge, this was the first report of carrot seeds infected with the 16SrVI group and the presence of the 16SrVI group in S. arvensis, C. maculatum, and D. carota wild.
Living Science, or Amusing Economic Nobelistics
Authors: Roschupkina Elena
Published: March 2022

Unlike the classics of economic thought, it was not until the 1990s that Russia's wide readership became familiar with the Western economists of the 20th century. Special place in the flow of publications devoted to consideration of their life path and analysis of theories created by them holds the literature on Nobel prize winners in economics as leaders of the world economics science. In the post-Soviet period in the domestic historiography of economics science there actually emerged a peculiar section — economic Nobelistics, which uses a wide range of genres: from strictly scientific, or academic, to popular science. In the review on the book “Nobel Prize Winners in Economics (1991–2020)” by Yuri P. Voronov, which analyses achievements of Nobel prize-winners in economics in the last thirty years, an attempt is made to draw readers' attention to such an aspect of this monograph as original presentation of Nobel economists' theories by the author. It is noted that the distinctive feature of the book is accessible, fascinating presentation of the scientific material. At the same time, entertainment in the book, playing the role of stimulus of cognitive interest, essentially performs two functions: a means of teaching and a means of popularization of scientific knowledge. Such features as literary language, author's digressions, original and intriguing titles create the effect of “lively” science.

Criminal Leadership: the Experience of Sociological Research
Authors: Merkuryev Viktor , Agapov Pavel , Kondratyuk Sergey , Tarasov Vladimir
Published: March 2022

The authors use the specific sociological method (questionnaire) to research public opinion regarding the phenomenon of criminal leadership. The questions were formulated using research recommendations to ensure representative and reliable results. It was established that differences in the positions regarding the key questions of the survey were connected with the age of respondents. Most respondents link the phenomenon under consideration with organized crime. The influence of a criminal leader is based on established criminal traditions. The opinions regarding the causes of the existence of criminal hierarchy differ greatly. Younger people believe that taking a top place in the criminal hierarchy is linked with socio-cultural factors, while older people name economic reasons. It is clear, however, that the abovementioned reasons are connected with inefficiencies in the work of law enforcement, including the work on the legal education of citizens. A constant inflow of young people in criminal communities is a special concern. A criminal leader has material and human resources at his disposal. Such a leader exercises the functions of management, rule setting, punishment. The existence of the criminal hierarchy leads to the widening of criminal activities. The public image of a criminal leader is that of a person with knowledge, organizational skills and a strong will. Typical behavioral characteristics are the use of violence, mercenary behavior, open disregard for the norms of public morals. The opinion that criminal leadership is connected with corruption is quite common. Criminal leaders support the criminal subculture, as its infiltration in the society (for example, the AUE movement) creates conditions for strengthening the influence of criminal leaders on it. This influence is manifested through the spread of false moral values, the atmosphere of insecurity and fear, the encouragement of unlawful behavior. Most respondents agree that the activities of criminal leaders should be curtailed. The survey results proved the urgency of strengthening the work to prevent criminal leaders from taking the top position in the criminal hierarchy. The prevention measures should be of economic, social and cultural character.

Ebeveyn-Ergen Çatışma Süreci ve Ergenlerin Problemli İnternet Kullanımı ile İlişkisi
Authors: ATALAN ERGİN Derya
Published: March 2022

Ergenlik, ebeveyn-ergen arasındaki ilişkilerin daha karmaşık hale geldiği bir dönemdir. Ergenler anne babalarından daha fazla özerklik talep ederken, ebeveynler kendi beklentileri ve ergenlerin talepleri arasında denge kurmaya çalışırlar. Bu değişimler ebeveyn-ergen arasında daha yoğun ve sık çatışmalara neden olabilir. Çatışmaların artışı ise ergenin problemli davranışları ile ilişkilendirilebilir. Bu araştırma iki bölümden oluşmaktadır: Çalışma 1’in örneklemi 173 ergen oluşturmaktadır (101 kız, %58.4, 72 erkek, %41.6). Çatışmanın ayrıntılı incelenmesinde cinsiyetin ana ve ortak etkisinin belirlenmesi amacıyla iki-yönlü ANOVA kullanılmıştır. Çalışma 2’nin örneklemi 221 ergen oluşturmaktadır (107 kız, %48.4, 113 erkek, %51.4). Ebeveyn ve ergenin birlikte geçirdikleri zamanın miktarının ve çatışma konularının Problemli İnternet Kullanımı (PİK) üzerindeki yordayıcılığı hiyerarşik regresyon analizi kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Bulgular çatışma üzerinde ebeveyn ve ergenin cinsiyetinin ortak etkisini göstermektedir. Kız-anne ve oğlan-baba arasındaki çatışmalar daha olumlu yollarla çözülmektedir. Ayrıca, ebeveynleriyle daha fazla zaman geçiren ergenlerin PİK düzeyleri daha düşüktür. Ancak internet konusunda yapılan tartışmalar PİK’in yüksek düzeyiyle ilişkili bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma, ergenin kendi cinsiyetinden ebeveyniyle geçirdiği etkileşimin önemini ortaya koymaktadır. Ek olarak, ebeveyn-ergen etkileşimi PİK üzerinde koruyucu bir faktörken, internet hakkındaki çatışmalar risk faktörüdür.
Culturally Adapted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a Model to Address Internalized Racism Among African American Clients
Authors: Steele Janeé M. , Newton Charmeka S.
Published: March 2022

Internalized racism is a significant source of psychological distress and low self-esteem among African Americans. Yet many counselors are challenged in their ability to address race and internalized racism in their work with clients, as there are few theoretically based approaches within the counseling literature to assist counselors with addressing internalized racism during therapy. In this article, the authors describe how culturally adapted cognitive behavioral therapy may be used to address internalized racism among this population. Core beliefs, schemas, and compensatory strategies that characterize internalized racism are first identified. Application of these constructs during case conceptualization and treatment planning is then illustrated through a case study. The article concludes with a discussion of implications for counselor training and supervision.

Published: March 2022

Prevalence rates, risk factors, and impact of untreated postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are well documented. Despite evidence suggesting that up to one third of women experience childbirth as traumatic, treatment recommendations remain scant. Given the call for a feminist approach to trauma and postpartum depression, we highlight a feminist-trauma approach to counseling clients with symptoms of postpartum PTSD, based on anti-oppressive feminist-trauma frameworks. A case study conceptualization of a woman experiencing traumatic stress following childbirth is presented to highlight supporting research, rationale, and ethical considerations.

Published: March 2022

Myanmar occupies a complex region in the active Indo-Burma subduction system. To illuminate the upper 10 km crustal structure of central Myanmar and obtain new insight into the subduction system, we jointly use P-wave polarizations and receiver functions (RFs) to construct a high-resolution VS profile based on a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo approach. This obtained profile clearly delineates six tectonic units and their boundaries, including the Indo-Burman ranges (IBR), the IBR-fore-arc basin boundary, the fore-arc basin, the volcanic arc, the back-arc basin, and the Sunda plate. The Sunda plate has relatively higher upper crustal VS (>3.0 km/s) and thinner sedimentary cover (∼1 km) compared with the Central Myanmar basin in the Burma plate. The fore-arc basin, containing thick sediments (>10 km), and the back-arc basin, with thinner sediments (∼1–6 km), are separated by a region with higher VS (∼3.0 km/s), which represents crystallized magma beneath the volcanic arc. A narrow zone of relatively high-VS (∼2.6–2.7 km/s) ophiolites is situated between the fore-arc basin and the IBR. We also find a narrow zone of high-VS (∼2.9 km/s) metamorphic rocks contained within the low-VS (≲2.3 km/s) IBR. This study suggests that the proposing joint inversion of two types of single-station measurements, that is, P-wave polarizations and RFs, can robustly and computationally efficiently image the shallow VS structure and provide a reliable uncertainty estimation.

Published: March 2022

Background: Embalming chemicals such as formaldehyde has been shown to be toxic to human system. It’s carcinogenicity effect and ability to cause adverse health conditions has been reported. Formalin is the aqueous solution of formaldehyde and it is converted to H2C (OH)2 when dissolved in water. This study was done to provide information on the effect of formaldehyde on the platelet count and platelet indices of mortuary workers.Methods: Total of 64 subjects were recruited for the study based on convenience sampling method in Calabar, Cross River State. The test group comprised of 32 mortuary workers with age ranging from 18-60 years from University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, General Hospital, Navy Hospital, Anatomy Department-University of Calabar and Infectious Disease Hospital, all in Calabar Meteropolis and 32 non-mortuary workers of the same age bracket from Calabar municipality served as control. Sample collection was by venipuncture and method of analysis was by the use of automated haematology analyzer.Results: This study shows that mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width were significantly increased p<0.01) in mortuary workers. The platelet count of mortuary workers were also significantly decreased (p=0.918) when compared to non-mortuary workers. Three out of thirty two mortuary workers had giant forms of platelet. The result also shows that long term exposure to formaldehyde can cause a reduction in the platelet count and platelet indices of mortuary workers.Conclusions: This study has shown that exposure to formaldehyde has a negative alteration on the platelet count and platelet indices of mortuary workers.

Authors: Sajjan Shruti M. , Malik Sushma , Lichade Vinaya M. , Wade Poonam
Published: March 2022

Background: Gestational age of neonates computed based on Naegele’s formula, ultrasound, or using modified New Ballard score (NBS) is limited in the community setup due to illiteracy, accessibility and expertise. Hence there should be alternative technique which can be done even by inexperienced health care staff and in rural communities. Objective of current study was to find out the correlation of foot and hand length with gestational age among neonates.Methods: A cross sectional study including 200 neonates and their foot length, hand length, birth weight was recorded. Gestational age assessment was done using modified NBS. Correlation among various study parameters was done using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.Results: Of the 200 neonates studied, the mean foot length was 7.1±0.46 cm with a range of 4-8.5 cm. The mean hand length was 6.0±0.71 cm with a range of 3.8-7.4 cm. The mean foot and hand length of term neonates was higher than preterm neonates. The mean foot and hand length of normal weight neonates was higher than Low birth weight neonates.Conclusions: Foot and hand length is a simple, quick and reliable measurement which can be used as a proxy measurement to gestational age assessment. It can be easily measured by traditional birth attendants in the community.

Published: March 2022

Background: Dermatophytoses invade the stratum corneum of the skin and other keratinized tissues derived from the epidermis. They are quite common and can be fairly accurately identified by a simple laboratory test. We conducted this study to identify the common dermatophytic infections in our setting.Methods: Clinically suspected tinea infections were referred to the Department of Microbiology of SKIMS Medical College Hospital, a tertiary-care teaching hospital in Srinagar, Kashmir. The affected area was cleaned with 70% alcohol, and scrapings were obtained. 10% KOH was used for keratinolysis. Samples were thoroughly examined for the presence of filamentous, septate, branched hyphae.Results: A total of 206 samples were analyzed. The overall KOH positivity rate was 44.7%.

Micronutrient deficiency in type 1 and 2 diabetes mellitus: diagnosis and therapy
Authors: Nur Rosyid Fahrun
Published: March 2022

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by increased blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) due to decreased insulin secretion and/or activity. Chronic hyperglycemia in diabetics is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction and failure of multiple organs such as the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and blood vessels. Micronutrients consist of vitamins and minerals that the body needs in small amounts for cellular metabolism. Micronutrients function as cofactors in enzyme-catalyzed reactions and if they are deficient, they can result in impaired metabolic function that can lead to more serious disease conditions. Micronutrients are beneficial for metabolism, gene expression and influence the development or progression of a chronic disease, including diabetes. Metabolic changes in diabetes are very complex, if not controlled properly can develop into complications such as neuropathy, nephropathy, cardiopathy, dyslipidemia and retinopathy. The micronutrients needed by DM patients are vitamin B complex consisting of B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin, B6 (pyridoxine), B12, niacin, biotin, pentothenic acid, as well as folic acid and vitamin C. Minerals that need to be given as therapy in DM patients namely chromium, magnesium, manganese, selenium, vanadium and zinc.

Published: March 2022

O desenvolvimento regional é um tema explorado, mas ainda possui lacunas na literatura. Este ensaio teórico tem como objetivo examinar como as aproximações e distanciamentos entre as abordagens a respeito dos aglomerados podem contribuir para a compreensão do tema desenvolvimento regional. No intuito de alcançar o objetivo proposto, optou-se por apresentar um histórico do desenvolvimento regional, além das principais abordagens a respeito dos aglomerados. A abordagem qualitativa mostrou-se pertinente desde a coleta dos dados bibliográficos até a análise dos mesmos. Como resultado, percebeu-se que o tema do desenvolvimento regional é apresentado pelas abordagens de maneira complementar e por intermédio das suas principais causas e consequências. Concluiu-se que as especificidades locais em cada um dos tipos de aglomerados produzem conceitos que consideram distintas demandas e resultados para o desenvolvimento regional.

Published: March 2022

O objetivo do artigo é analisar como as pequenas e médias empresas (PMEs) usaram suas capacidades para iniciar, desenvolver e terminar relacionamentos organizacionais (networking capabilities) ao longo da crise causada pela Covid-19. O artigo é baseado em estudos de caso realizados em seis PMEs, selecionadas propositalmente com base nos requisitos do estudo. Os dados analisados foram obtidos por meio de 13 entrevistas com atores-chave dessas organizações (proprietários e gerentes gerais). Os resultados revelam seis lições aprendidas sobre as capacidades de networking. Essas lições podem ser úteis para minimizar os impactos econômicos das PMEs em futuras crises e para gerenciar os processos de relações interorganizacionais em tempos de crise.
Uso da Gamificação no Ensino Técnico: estudo sobre a percepção de docentes de uma escola de ensino técnico-profissional de Divinópolis-MG
Authors: Espíndola Marcelo Agenor , Mafra Pereira Frederico Cesar
Published: March 2022

Este artigo objetivou analisar como a gamificação tem sido utilizada e percebida por docentes do ensino técnico como metodologia ativa de aprendizagem para o desenvolvimento de competências profissionais. Como metodologia, realizou-se um estudo de natureza descritiva qualitativa. A unidade de análise correspondeu a uma instituição de ensino profissional localizada em Divinópolis-MG, na qual se aplica a gamificação como a abordagem mais bem avaliada em seus cursos técnicos (evidenciada em estudo de Espíndola e Mafra Pereira; 2019). Como unidades de observação, elencou-se os professores atuantes nos cursos técnicos em Administração e Logística por serem os profissionais que aplicam efetivamente a metodologia proposta pela instituição. Aplicou-se entrevistas individuais em profundidade realizadas via webconferências, com foco em 4 categorias: 1) preparação dos professores; 2) aplicação da gamificação; 3) percepção dos alunos sobre a gamificação e; 4) melhorias e adaptações. Quanto aos resultados, percebe-se que a gamificação tem contribuído para o bom aproveitamento nas unidades curriculares da instituição pesquisada, voltada ao ensino técnico, favorecendo o desenvolvimento das competências profissionais, tanto dos alunos, quanto dos próprios professores, e proporcionando um aprendizado mais participativo, efetivo e divertido. Como sugestões de novos estudos, recomenda-se a análise da gamificação em outras modalidades de cursos ofertados pela instituição alvo, bem como em outras instituições de ensino, públicas e privadas, utilizando-se das categorias de análise propostas. Como recomendações gerenciais às instituições de educação, sugere-se: 1) a implantação de ferramentas tecnológicas simplificadas para uso nas abordagens de gamificação, propiciando menos tempo de preparação das aulas aos docentes; 2) a implantação de treinamentos com carga horária aderente aos desafios exigidos, proporcionando aos docentes maior segurança no desenvolvimento e no uso de elementos de jogos e/ou jogos no contexto de suas aulas.

Authors: Novichkov Sergei , Rostuntsova Irina , Grigoriev Evgeni
Published: March 2022

A heat recovery system for a compressed air gas turbine power plant consists of a gas turbine unit and heat recovery boiler that requires water treatment to compensate the loss of condensate. Salt tablets are normally used for ion exchange resin regeneration on a water treatment stage. The key idea of this research is to use salt processing ponds where available to build compressed air gas turbine power plants using salt caverns. This eliminates the salt tablet cost during operation. This paper presents a comparative analysis of economic efficiency for two options such as continue applying salt tablets or start using salt brine from salt mining ponds.
Pomiędzy światem „czynnego alkoholizmu” a rzeczywistością zdrowienia. Mechanizmy (re)socjalizacyjne anonimowych alkoholików
Authors: Trzebiatowski Jakub
Published: March 2022

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie specyfiki mechanizmów (re)socjalizacji anonimowych alkoholików w perspektywie zamiany subświata „czynnego alkoholizmu” na rzeczywistość zdrowienia.

Prezentowane w opracowaniu konkluzje i wnioski formułowałem w oparciu o badania jakościowe, które zyskały charakter monograficzno-biograficzny. Wykorzystałem procedurę badań terenowych oraz procedurę badań sondażowych pogłębionych. Przyjąłem ponadto kryteria metodologii teorii ugruntowanej. Próba badawcza liczyła 18 zdrowiejących alkoholików poznańskich grup AA.

W wyniku przeprowadzonych badań empirycznych wyselekcjonowałem cztery mechanizmy (re)socjalizacji: afiliacyjno-afektywny, komunikacyjno-poznawczy, katharsis – budowania nowej tożsamości oraz podtrzymywania nawrócenia. Za sprawą wspomnianych mechanizmów aktorzy społeczni zyskiwali szansę na alternację – subświat terapeutyczny AA stopniowo stawał się „rzeczywistością podstawową” – „światem życia codziennego” zdrowiejących alkoholików.
Wokół problematyki „metody” w postfoucaultowskich badaniach społecznych – pomiędzy strategią transkrypcji a strategią fugi
Authors: Ostrowicka Helena
Published: March 2022

Podstawowym celem tekstu jest namysł nad problemem metodologicznych wytycznych, których źródłem stały się prace Michela Foucaulta. Głos ten wpisuje się jednocześnie w ogólniejsze zagadnienie stylów recepcji idei i koncepcji Foucaultowskich w badaniach społecznych. Mówiąc o „metodzie”, autorka odnosi się zarówno do tego, jakie metodologiczne wykładnie znajdują się w literaturze z zakresu metodologii badań społecznych, jak i do tego, jakie strategie czytania one reprezentują. Analiza recepcji „metodologii Foucaulta” uświadamia, iż sytuuje się ona pomiędzy dwoma biegunami. Pierwszy wyznaczają próby ustalenia precyzyjnych wskazówek metodologicznych, które pozwoliłyby na możliwie wierne powtórzenie Foucaultowskiego sposobu postępowania i jego przeniesienie do innej dziedziny badań (strategia transkrypcji). Na drugim biegunie lokują się różnego rodzaju wariacje metodologiczne – transformacje, redefinicje Foucaultowskich kategorii, syntezy różnych podejść (strategia fugi).
