Introduction. Throughout the existence of the Russian Federation, its economy is constantly being shaken by crises, and the year 2020 was no exception, when the Covid crisis broke out in the country, as a result of which service enterprises were badly affected. In this regard, we believe that assessing the impact of the current crisis on small and medium-sized businesses, as well as analyzing state support measures, is an urgent and timely task being solved by economic science. Theoretical analysis. Around the world, small and medium-sized businesses are the backbone of the economy, since in developed countries their share occupies more than 80%. The increased attention and demand of this sphere is due to their high adaptability to crisis situations, as well as the involvement of a significant number of employees in the business. As for Russian realities, in the early 1990s, the demand for this type of enterprise was insignificant, due to the legacy of the Soviet Union in the form of large monopolies, but in the process of transformation and the transition to the digital economy, the country’s government is forming infrastructure aimed at supporting this sector. Empirical analysis. The response in developed countries of the world (USA, Germany, Italy, UK) to the Covid-19 crisis was the support of entrepreneurs in the form of interest-free lending, deferral of loan and leasing payments, and employee benefits. In Russia, on the one hand, the rescue package was close to the world one, but in fact many entrepreneurs were unable to take advantage of them, due to high bureaucracy and a weak regulatory and legislative framework. Results. The Covid crisis has largely struck the Russian service sector, as a result, more than 3 million entrepreneurs are on the verge of closing their businesses, and some have already become bankrupt. The negative factors that aggravated the situation were also: a decrease in real incomes of the population, a decrease in oil prices and economic sanctions against Russia. As a result of a circumstances combination, the economy plunged into crisis and the Government of the Russian Federation was forced to develop measures aimed at maintaining small and medium-sized businesses, but these measures are not enough and enterprises continue to close. The only positive point is the transition of most enterprises to an online format, which brings the country closer to the digital economy.

Introduction. The article examines the spatial heterogeneity and factors of the exchange rate pass-through effect in consumer prices in Russian regions. Two hypotheses are tested. The first hypothesis is that there are differences in the magnitude of the passthrough between the Russian regions, the second is the significant influence of spatial relationships between regions on the magnitude of the pass-through effect. Theoretical analysis. The factors of the interregional differences in the pass-through effect are analyzed: the share of imports in the consumption structure, the share of value added produced in the domestic market in the final price of goods, transaction costs, the level of competition and the market structure. Empirical analysis. First pass-through estimates were obtained by means of vector autoregression model. Then the spatial dependence of the exchange rate pass-through was investigated on the basis of the global Moran and Geary indices, LISA, SAR and SEM models. Results. The results indicate the heterogeneity of the pass-through effect in Russian regions, which confirms the first of the hypotheses put forward. Confirmation of the second hypothesis was found only for food products in the short term, which is due to the nature of commodity flows between Russian regions. It is concluded that it is necessary to study the spatial relationships of the pass-through effect based on disaggregated prices.
JORNALISMO DE CULTURA POP: aproximações através de territorialidades semióticas no contexto digital
Authors: Henn Ronaldo , Gonzatti Christian
Published: December 2021

O artigo tem como objetivo problematizar a emergência da cobertura jornalística voltada aos signos da cultura pop. Trata-se de um trabalho conceitual que lança olhar sobre processos mediáticos específicos, via de regra percebidos como expressões de superfluidades, que geram tensões na interface com o jornalismo. O artigo disserta sobre as práticas dentro do jornalismo que se ocupam do que será lido como volátil, fútil, de uma ordem mais emocional e, historicamente, atribuídos a valores construídos na ordem do feminino. No momento em que a cultura digital faz emergir plataformas específicas destinadas às celebridades, à música pop, ao universo nerd, aos filmes e séries e às novelas, defende-se, aqui, a configuração de um jornalismo que se designa como pop. No final, apresenta-se a possibilidade de se pensar essas singularidades jornalísticas como desencadeadoras de territorialidades semióticas.

Na sequência, ocorreu a montagem da peça teatral, propriamente dita, sua apresentação em evento promovido pelo curso, bem como os registros da mesma no formato de um vídeo. Constatou-se ser possível congregar saberes e fazeres das áreas que compõem o currículo escolar por meio dos conteúdos e vivências, a exemplo daqueles desenvolvidos na referida disciplina, a qual deu enfoque aos objetos de conhecimento de Matemática e Ciências pelas luzes do teatro.
A AUTORIDADE DO PROFESSOR NEGRO: UM ESTUDO SOBRE A PERCEPÇÃO DE ESTUDANTES E PROFESSORES/AS DOS ANOS INICIAIS
Authors: Florenço Heloísa Martins , Volpato Gildo
Published: December 2021

Este artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que buscou discutir questões referentes a autoridade do professor negro a partir da percepção de estudantes e de professores/as negros/as que atuam nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental I. O estudo buscou compreender a autoridade do docente e relacioná-las com a figura do professor/a negro/a identificando se sofrem algum tipo de depreciação ou preconceito por conta de sua cor. Dialogamos sobre a autoridade a partir das visões de Aquino (2014), D’Antola (1989), Francisco (1999), Freire (1987), Hannah Arendt (2013), Schmidt, Ribas e Carvalho (1989), Volpato, Moreira e Bittencourt (2020) entre outros. Sobre a questão da negritude, dialogamos com Artes e Ricoldi (2015), Beccari (2005), Domingues (2005), Farias (2019), Paixão e Gomes (2008), Prudente (2020), Saldanã (2019), Santos e Scopinho (2011), Silva (2011), Wachholz (2016), além da Constituição da República Federativa (1988) e a Lei nº 7.716 (1989). Os sujeitos da pesquisa foram 10 professores/as negros/as e 10 estudantes do 5º ano de uma escola da Rede Municipal de Criciúma. Na pesquisa, de abordagem qualitativa, foi utilizado o questionário, como técnica de coleta de dados, interpretados à luz dos princípios da análise de conteúdo. A partir da pesquisa, chegamos à conclusão que os estudantes pesquisados demonstraram que tem na figura do/a professor/a a referência de autoridade, sem distinção de cor. Já 08 professores/as dos 10 pesquisados alegam que sentem sua autoridade diminuída e as vezes ameaçada, tendo que demandar mais esforços para que a autoridade seja reconhecida como tal e que o preconceito por causa da cor ainda se faz presente no âmbito da escola e da comunidade, na maioria das vezes velada, mas sentida por eles/as.

Published: December 2021

A presente pesquisa analisou a compreensão das crianças da pré-escola (4 e 5 anos) sobre o ser adulto na contemporaneidade, a partir das suas narrativas e desenhos. Para tanto, mobilizamos um aporte teórico composto por Ariès (1981), Oliveira (1997), Laurindo (2014) e Martins (2016). O interesse nesta pesquisa se deu a partir da experiência da disciplina de Estágio Supervisionado I - Educação Infantil. A pesquisa de campo foi realizada de forma remota com doze crianças, entre quatro e cinco anos de idade de uma instituição da rede privada, localizada em Criciúma – SC. Na análise de dados, buscou-se compreender os desenhos a partir da própria narrativa da criança, ou seja, não foi uma análise interpretativa das produções gráficas, mas o desenho como instrumento de mediação para compreender a perspectiva infantil. Os resultados indicaram grande variedade de percepções acerca do que é ser adulto, que estão relacionados ao crescer, ao cuidado, ao trabalho, a autonomia, ao exemplo de moral e aos afazeres de casa.

Authors: Moraes Juline Teixeira Magnus , Bittencourt Ricardo Luiz de
Published: December 2021

Diante dos inúmeros desafios da gestão escolar e da coordenação pedagógica nas instituições de ensino, um dos mais latentes e preocupantes está relacionado a formação contínua de professores. Partindo dessa necessidade de aprimoramento, o presente estudo traz a proposta da utilização de portfólios como ferramentas de (auto) avaliação na formação contínua de professores, abordando as perspectivas desta formação, o uso do portfólio como estratégia de desenvolvimento profissional docente e apresentação e aplicabilidade da proposta avaliativa para a formação contínua, bem como os conceitos introdutórios e conclusivos destes estudos. Os principais autores que subsidiaram a presente produção foram Depresbiteres e Tavares (2009), Zabala (1998), García (1999), Imbernón (2010)  e Candau (1997).  Assim, evidenciou-se que o uso de portfólios contribui para o processo de reflexão do fazer pedagógico, muitas vezes tratado apenas como protocolar, sem sentido e desconexo da realidade dos professores e de seus alunos, agregando especialmente no trabalho dos gestores e/ou coordenadores pedagógicos no que tange a efetivação dos saberes trabalhados em formações contínuas nas instituições de ensino.
FORMAÇÃO CONTINUADA NOS TCCs DO CURSO DE PEDAGOGIA DA UNESC: TEMÁTICAS, METODOLOGIAS E PROTAGONISMO DOCENTE
Authors: Rodrigues Mariângela , Pereira Antônio Serafim
Published: December 2021

Este estudo analisou a formação continuada nos trabalhos de conclusão de curso (TCCs) do curso de pedagogia da Universidade do Extremo Sul Catarinense (UNESC), tendo por base as seguintes categorias: temáticas, metodologias e protagonismo docente. Então, a partir da análise dos trabalhos, buscou-se examinar cada uma delas. A pesquisa bibliográfica revelou, de determinada maneira, ambiguidade entre formação estabelecida, consultada e/ou de envolvimento de troca de experiência e reflexão. Sobre esta última, poderia ser questionado: reflexão realmente crítica? De certo modo, verificaram-se poucos trabalhos acadêmicos de conclusão do curso em questão que abordam ou estudam de forma mais sistemática os conhecimentos acerca da formação continuada docente.
AS PRÁTICAS DE ALFABETIZAÇÃO NA EJA NA VISÃO DAS PROFESSORAS DOS ANOS INICIAIS DO ENSINO FUNDAMENTAL EM UM MUNICÍPIO DA AMREC
Authors: Custódio Sibele Guedin , Hanoff Mirozete Iolanda Volpato
Published: December 2021

A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo geral conhecer as metodologias que embasam as práticas pedagógicas das professoras alfabetizadoras na Educação de Jovens e Adultos (EJA) em um município pertencente a região da AMREC[1].    A alfabetização no Brasil, nos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental e na EJA, durante muitos anos aconteceu seguindo a concepção tradicional de ensino e aprendizagem, ou seja, iniciava com as letras do alfabeto e palavras soltas e sem sentido para os alunos. Entretanto, há mais de duas décadas os estudiosos sobre o tema no Brasil têm mostrado que existem outros métodos para alfabetizar e que devem ser utilizados em ambas modalidades e que atendem mais as necessidades da sociedade e tem mais significado para os alunos. Diante desse contexto buscou-se, também, identificar a concepção pedagógica que embasa a prática das professoras, refletir sobre o perfil do professor e do aluno nesta modalidade e analisar as metodologias utilizadas pelas professoras da EJA no processo de alfabetização. Para isso, a pesquisa está sustentada em autores como: Freire (1990), Schwartz (2010), Cortada (2013), Haddad e Di Pierro (2000) e Leal (2010). A pesquisa é exploratória descritiva e de natureza básica, em que foram entrevistadas duas professoras da EJA do município, que atuam nos anos iniciais. A entrevista aconteceu de forma não estruturada. A pesquisa aponta que mesmo as metodologias utilizadas sejam distintas, as professoras buscam em alguns momentos considerar as práticas de letramento dos seus alunos no processo de alfabetização.[1] Associação dos Municípios da Região Carbonífera

Published: December 2021

Early diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage significantly reduces mortality. Hemorrhage is diagnosed by using various imaging methods and the most time-efficient one among them is computed tomography (CT). However, it is clear that accurate CT scans requires time, diligence, and experience. Computer-aided design methods are vital for the treatment because they facilitate early diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage. At this point, deep learning can provide effective outcomes through an automated diagnosis way. However, as different from the known solutions, diagnosis of five different hemorrhage subtypes is a critical problem to be solved.This study focused on deep learning methods and employed cranial computed tomography scans in order to detect intracranial hemorrhage. The diagnosis approach in the study aimed to detect five subtypes of hemorrhage. In detail, EfficientNet-B3 and ResNet-Inception-V2 architectures were used for diagnosis purposes. Eventually, the study also proposed a two-architecture hybrid method for the diagnosis purpose. The obtained findings by the hybrid method were evaluated in terms of a comparative perspective.Results showed that the newly designed hybrid method was quite effective in terms of increasing classification rates of detecting intracranial hemorrhage according to the subtypes. Briefly, an accuracy of 98.5%, which is higher than those of the EfficientNet-B3 and the Inception-ResNet-V2, were obtained thanks to the developed hybrid method.
Theories of a Stress-Coping Behavior: Searching for Neurocognitive Mechanisms
Authors: Yarosh Nina , Mateiko Nataliia , Savchyn Myroslav , Zamishchak Mariia , Zabolotska Svitlana , Kulyk Vasyl
Published: December 2021

The article proves that the main form of overcoming stress is coping behavior, which is understood as a purposeful social and neurophysiologically determined behavior that allows a person to cope with stress in ways that meet the characteristics of the individual and the situation. Coping behavior is considered a synonym for stress-coping behavior, which is expressed in the use of coping strategies by the individual. Personal characteristics and situational factors determine the choice of coping behavior strategies. The article aims to resolve the contradictions of multimodal approaches to the problem in question in the post-Soviet countries and group theories that include not only external social but also neurophysiological factors. The article shows that the choice of coping strategies mostly depends on personal and neurophysiological factors. These include neurophysiological reflexive or instinctive and higher ones: adequate self-concept, positive self-esteem, personality anxiety, cognitive style, and energy resources, which include endurance and temperament characteristics, intelligence, creativity, and locus of personality control. Overcoming a stressful situation is impossible without cognitive "processing," which becomes available through reflection. The influence of reflection on the choice of coping strategy of the individual is that reflective individuals choose more adaptive and effective strategies. The international relevance of the article lies in discovering neuroscientific aspects of the problem in question in the post-Soviet countries, which will allow these countries to contribute to the global scientific interdisciplinary discourse.

Published: December 2021

Political, social, economic, and civilization changes trigger a number of issues that require the development of personal characteristics sufficient for survival and adaptation to life in a society stricken by a crisis. In general, we can talk about a neurotic personality, the signs of which manifest themselves in anxiety, the actualization of specific negative defenses, suspicion, feelings of resentment and guilt, loss of sense in life. To prevent or counteract these disrupting behaviors, one needs to seek meanings and ideas of self-actualization, to grow spiritually, acquire "psychological culture" while learning to build their life experience in the form of the worldview of reality, so-called semantic pictureу of the world. The development and reinforcement of this worldview are made possible due to spiritual values, reflective thinking, conscience, intuition, achieving integrity and the highest cognitive and aesthetic human needs, which are respect and self-actualization. Such type of individual is open-minded and inquisitive, ready to push the boundaries, which is also a sign of the capability for transcendence.

Published: December 2021

The problem of loneliness is caused by a disunity and alienation of modern society, dissatisfaction with the basic social needs for acceptance and support. The fact that the subjective feeling of loneliness does not coincide with the real degree of social isolation determines the need to study the cognitive aspects. The aim of this study is to show the role of cognitive structures in loneliness in women. A survey of 144 women aged 26-55 years was conducted. Using the UCLA Loneliness Scale and the Differential Loneliness Experience Questionnaire, loneliness was measured as a global experience, positive and negative attitudes towards it. Cognitive models were studied using the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale, Young Schema Questionnaire, the author’s questionnaire that reveals cultural myths and gender stereotypes about loneliness. A comparative analysis of the groups showed no differences in the perception of loneliness among women with different family situations; it also does not depend on having children and their number. Age was found to be a significant determinant of perceptions of loneliness and family circumstances. Cognitive models influence women’s loneliness to a greater extent than family situation. The publication describes correlations between perceived loneliness and individual dysfunctional attitudes, and builds regression models of predictors of loneliness in different age groups. The study shows the prevalence of cultural stereotypes about the need for marriage and motherhood, and a special female vulnerability in relationships. The construct “tolerance to loneliness” is proposed and described, which reveals the positive potential of this experience for self-knowledge and self-development.

Published: December 2021

Adolescence is characterized by contradictions of role behaviours and perceptions caused by age adjustment of adolescents. This is reflected in the system of self-attitudes of adolescents, which can lead to intrapersonal conflicts due to the dissonance of conceptions about their own real and ideal self-image. Such dissonances can hinder the construction of one’s own social roles. Therefore, timely detection of risks of personal dissonance emergence in the sphere of subjective perceptions of one’s own real and ideal self-images becomes one of the leading tasks of providing psychological and psychotherapeutic aid to adolescents, aimed at harmonizing their formation in the process of socialization. The aim of the research is to study the factors that determine the psychological peculiarities of personal dissonance of adolescents in the sphere of real and ideal self-image. The research is based on the use of psychodiagnostic methods of Leary (2004) and Pantileev (1993) for the survey of 303 adolescents of both sexes at the age of 14-17, who recognize the presence of discrepancies between real and ideal self-images. Empirical data has shown a relationship between a constellation of psychological factors that determine the emergence of personal dissonances in the sphere of authoritarianism, dominance, suspicion, aggression, subordination, dependency, friendship and altruism. The research will help to understand the psychological factors of the emergence and functioning of personal dissonances of adolescents, which affect both the system of their self-attitude and the building of their social ties. This opens up prospects for improving psychoprophylactic measures aimed at preventing personal dissonances in adolescents.

Published: December 2021

The clinical-psychological-pedagogical picture of autistic personality disorders of a child is highly complex and diverse compared to other mental development disorders. The divergence of researchers' views on the autism clinic leads to a scientific discussion on the problem of conceptual and terminological base of definitions and concepts, so, as a consequence, the problem has a conceptual and diagnostic orientation. Summarizing the research of scientists, we highlight the characteristic manifestations of autism in older preschool age: lack of mental activity; violation of the interaction of mental functions; unevenness, partialness of intellectual development; gross violations of purposefulness and arbitrariness of attention; lack of lively interest, interest in the new, environmental research; the tendency to perceive information as if passively absorbing it into whole blocks; the reaction of departure from the influences of the environment directed on the child; adverse reaction or no reaction at all when trying to draw attention to the objects of the surrounding reality; rapid exhaustion and oversaturation with any purposeful activity; difficulty concentrating; difficulties in symbolization, transfer of skills from one situation to another; impaired formation of social and communicative functions. Having analyzed many scientific studies, we can determine the number and variety of speech disorders in children with autistic disorders: challenging to interpret crying; limited barking; lack of imitation of sounds; phonography of speech; mutism; echolalia; words-stamps, phrases-stamps; neologisms; limited use of pronouns; lack of speech in speech; speech autonomy; speech disorders; inability to form words; violation of the semantic, syntactic, grammatical structure of speech; violation of speech melody; violation of prosodic components of speech; inability to engage in dialogue; specificity of the development of monologue speech.

Published: December 2021

The article dwells upon the problem of distance learning using the Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). Importantly, the article analyzes the use of LMS or virtual learning environments (VLE) at universities, designed to store learning materials, conduct automatic testing of students’ knowledge, support remote communication, generate information on progress and reports on working with distance learning courses. The most well-known paid systems (according to Google Trends service) include Blackboard Learning System, Edmodo, Glow, Ning, SharePoint LMS. At the same time, the most popular free LMS is Moodle, as evidenced by both the results of Google Trends statistics and the data obtained from the ListEdTech resource. The article determines the features of using this system in the professional training of pedagogy students. It describes the challenges (problems) faced by students when taking distance learning courses, the time frame of students’ work on this learning platform and students’ assessment of the quality of distance learning courses developed in the Moodle system. It shows that the use of this system saves time spent on training, freeing it up for personal life, self-education, hobbies and entertainment. Students with higher academic performance spend more time working in the Moodle system. Indeed, they intend to acquire knowledge, obtain a diploma of higher education and further pursue their professional careers. More than half of the respondents rate distance learning courses positively. In their opinion, such courses are creative, valuable, exciting, effective, clear, innovative, meeting expectations, unconventional, innovative, easy to learn and enjoyable.

Authors: Talaghir Laurențiu-Gabriel , Olaru Bogdan , Iconomescu Teodora-Mihaela , Rus Cristian Mihail
Published: December 2021

Objective: The aim of this research is to analyse the use of the practical component within the online PE lesson during the Covid-19 pandemic. Design: A number of 400 PE teachers from 9 counties of Romania were interviewed in connection with the online PE lesson during the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, the proposed questionnaire contains two parts: one in which demographic data is requested and one containing 14 items requesting the specialized opinion regarding the online PE lesson. The likert scale was used in order to construct 5 answer options for each of the 14 items. Results: Teachers who said they approach these elements "Very Much" or "A lot" are below 3.6%. Those who answered that they approach them "Enough" are still quite few when it comes to learning/strengthening motor skills specific to sports games (8%), but their number increases when it comes to speed (17.3%) and endurance (22.8%). One may also notice that the sum of the percentages “A Little” + “Not at all” of the teachers who answered that they approach these three elements is over 71%. (77.6% speed, 71.5% endurance, 97.3% motor skills specific to sports games). Conclusion: Teachers’ answers indicate the fact that, in the online PE lesson, motor skills are developed, with an increased emphasis on strength, dexterity and flexibility.
Who wants to wash away their sins? Guilt and shame proneness and behavioral moral cleansing endorsement: a pilot study
Authors: Maftei Alexandra , Merlici Ioan-Alex
Published: December 2021

In our pilot cross-sectional study, we aimed to explore the associations between guilt and shame proneness and moral cleansing endorsement. Our sample consisted of 484 adults (73.3% females), aged 18 and 53 (M=24.09, SD=7.32). We used a novel approach to explore moral cleansing mechanisms, i.e., a two-item scale assessing behavioral cleansing endorsement (one's agreement with the idea that people must "wash away" their immoral acts by acting in ethical ways that would "clean" their moral debt). In addition to the significant associations that we found between moral cleansing endorsement and the guilt and shame proneness dimensions (i.e., negative behavior evaluation, repair action tendencies, negative self-evaluation, and withdrawal action tendencies), results also suggested that moral cleansing endorsement was significantly predicted by overall guilt and shame proneness. More specifically, we found that higher levels of guilt and shame proneness might account for higher moral cleansing endorsement levels. We also found important associations with participants' age: our findings suggested that the higher the age, the higher the endorsement for moral actions aimed to "clean" immoral deeds. Results are discussed in relation to cultural-related factors.
Brain White Matter Hyperintensity Changes Associated with Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia, Alzheimer's Dementia and Normal Aging
Authors: ERTEKİN Ayfer
Published: December 2021

Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between the distribution and grading of white matter hyperintensity (WMH) obtained by brain magnetic resonance imaging and cognitive impairment associated with vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), Alzheimer's dementia (AD) and normal aging in individuals aged 65 years and older.
Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis was performed on a total of 372 patients, who met the criteria for AD, VCID and normal aging. The basic clinical criteria of DSM-V and NIA-AA were considered for AD. The DSM-V and NINDS-AIREN diagnostic criteria were used for VCID and probable vascular dementia (VaD). WMHs were graded according to the Fazekas criteria.
Results: Normal aging was detected in 58.3% (n=217) of the patients, AD in 24.7% (n=92) and VCID in 16.9% (n=63). The relationship between WMH and dementia was significant. (p<0.001). Periventricular hyperintensity was detected as 76.2% (n=70) in AD, 95.2% (n=60) in VCID, 40.6% (n=88) in normal aging, and deep white matter hyperintensity was detected as 63.0% (n=58) in AD, 74.5% (n=47) in VCID, 44.2% (n=96) in normal aging. In the VCID group, 52.4% (n=33) had basal ganglia lesions and 60.3% (n=38) had classical infarct areas. No relationship was found between the presence of cortical lesion and cognition.
Conclusion: This study is important in terms of showing that it would be better to focus on markers of brain damage and dementia, such as WMH rather than focusing on clinical diagnoses with mixed-type pathologies such as Alzheimer's disease or vascular cognitive impairment.
Bilateral Superior Cervical Ganglionectomy and Melatonin Levels in Rat Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Model: Simple Precautions May Preserve Melatonin Levels
Authors: KILIÇ Güven , KAYABAŞ Murat , CANCAN Seçkin Emre
Published: December 2021

Aim: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a serious disease, and it is thought that melatonin may have positive effects after SAH. Bilateral resection or blockage of superior cervical ganglions has constant effects on melatonin levels. Animal models with bilateral superior cervical ganglionectomy (SCG) show the role of superior cervical ganglion on melatonin and give clues about simple precautions which may help to prevent unfavorable outcomes in SAH patients. The aim of this study is to examine how melatonin levels change in SAH and SCG models.
Material and Methods: Forty-two Sprague Dawley male rats weighing 200-250 g were used in the study and randomly divided into six groups. Arterial blood samples were collected 24 hours after the procedure in all groups. Serum melatonin levels of the groups were studied.
Results: A significant difference in blood melatonin levels was observed between SAH and SCG groups, and against the control group. There was no significant difference between the melatonin levels in SCG group and SAH+SCG group (p=0.983). The mean blood melatonin level of the SAH group was higher than the SCG (p<0.001), SAH+SCG (p<0.001) and control groups (p=0.001). The mean blood melatonin levels of SAH+SCG and SCG groups were lower than the mean blood melatonin levels of the other groups and also the SAH group (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Bilateral SCG significantly inhibited the abrupt increase of serum melatonin levels after SAH model in rats. Future studies aiming to address melatonin’s complex outcomes should take into account that minor exogenous factors may affect serum melatonin levels.

Published: December 2021

Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of inhaler aromatherapy on pain and anxiety during the shock wave lithotripsy (SWL) protocol.
Material and Methods: This placebo-controlled prospective double-blind study included 120 patients who were scheduled to undergo SWL. Patients were randomly assigned a control placebo group 1 (n=40), the lavender group 2 (n=40), and the frankincense group 3 (n=40). The nebulizer (a rate of 2%) was prepared and operated on in the SWL room before the procedure. Data were collected using the visual analog scale (VAS) and the state-trait anxiety inventory (STAI-I).
Results: Of the 120 patients included in the study, 67 (55.8%) were male and 53 (44.2%) were female. The mean age of the patients was 37.38±11.35 years. The mean stone size was 11.07±3.09 mm. There were no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of VAS scores of the patients after the procedure (p=0.557). While there was no statistically significant change in the STAI-I score in group 1 and group 2 after the procedure compared to the pre-procedure, a statistically significant decrease was detected in group 3 (p=0.030). The percentages of patients with changing STAI-I scores were compared, it was observed that the decrease in STAI-I score in group 2 and group 3 at a higher rate compared to group 1 (p=0.018).
Conclusion: Frankincense reduced anxiety more significantly than lavender. Both had no significant effect on pain. Inhaler aromatherapy can be used in the SWL process to reduce anxiety and improve treatment compliance.
Keynote Address. Tales From the Field: Reflections on Four Decades of Ethnography
Authors: Adler Patricia A. , Adler Peter
Published: December 2021

Drawing on careers spanning over 35 years in the field of ethnography, we reflect on the research in which we’ve engaged and how the practice and epistemology of ethnography has evolved over this period. We begin by addressing the problematic nature of ethical issues in conducting qualitative research, highlighting the non-uniform nature of standards, the difficulty of applying mainstream or medical criteria to field research, and the issues raised by the new area of cyber research, drawing particularly on our recent cyberethnography of self-injury. We then discuss the challenge of engagement, highlighting pulls that draw ethnographers between the ideals of involvement and objectivity. Finally, we address the challenges and changing landscapes of qualitative analysis, and how its practice and legitimation are impacted by contemporary trends in sociology. We conclude by discussing how epistemological decisions in the field of qualitative research are framed in political, ethical, and disciplinary struggles over disciplinary hegemony
Pushing Daddy Away? A Qualitative Study of Maternal Gatekeeping
Authors: Hauser Orlee
Published: December 2021

There is a great deal of literature regarding the differences between motherhood and fatherhood. The literature suggests that parenthood is deeply gendered and takes on different meanings for men and for women. This paper examines parenthood from an angle not typically addressed in feminist discussion. Missing from recent scholarship is any in-depth examination of the role that women may play in limiting the involvement of their male partners. What part do women play in the maintenance of traditional parenting roles? This paper, based on a series of interviews with parents of young children as well as field research in child centered locations, concentrates on the reasons behind the emergence of gendered parenting approaches. The qualitative nature of this study makes it possible to note the complexity of this issue and examine the role of both mother and father in gatekeeping. Overall, I argue that many mothers are involved in maternal gatekeeping through taking control over both major and minor parenting decisions, through controlling access to parenting information and through implementing control mechanisms during their absence. I discuss the means by which some mothers attempt to limit their partners’ involvement and the ambivalence that this creates for both parents involved.
Shenaz Patel : entre conscience environnementale, couleur locale et histoire
Authors: Dosoruth Sonia
Published: December 2021

Shenaz Patel, auteure mauricienne, nous introduit à la cause environnementale dans les albums intitulés La toile bleue (2010) et Le bestiaire mauricien (2016) tout en mettant en exergue la couleur locale. À travers la co-écriture des bandes dessinées Histoire de Maurice (TI et T2) avec Jocelyn Chan Low, elle souhaite promouvoir l’histoire de l’île Maurice.
Si la dynamique de l’écriture fait entendre des sonorités exquises pour un habitué, ce sera à travers la représentation picturale, accompagnée par son texte, que l’histoire et la cause environnementale semblent s’exprimer le plus. Le fait que la notion de frontière-démarcation soit réinventée par une sorte de chevauchement de territoires, permet à une certaine identité littéraire de se former.
Massimo Bontempelli giornalista e ammiratore dei Quattrocentisti: per un rinnovamento letterario della Terza epoca
Authors: Božič Dana
Published: December 2021

L'articolo presenta alcuni testi di Massimo Bontempelli finora relativamente poco esplorati dalla critica bontempelliana o perfino sconosciuti, provenienti dall'ambito del giornalismo e da collaborazioni editoriali. L’analisi della prefazione alle Prose di fede e di vita del primo tempo dell’umanesimo, scritta da Bontempelli nel 1913, mostra (anche al confronto con altri articoli bontempelliani sia del periodo degli esordi, sia dei primi anni Venti) che numerose tesi della tendenza culturale e letteraria del ‘novecentismo’ teorizzata tra il 1926 e il 1927, erano presenti già nelle prime collaborazioni editoriali di questo intellettuale. Fra queste tesi: il ruolo di una lingua trasparente, l’importanza dell’immaginazione, la necessità di prestare attenzione al pubblico e di liberarsi da una troppo stretta adesione al canone, per nominarne alcune.
La folie royale dans la "Estoria de España" d’Alphonse X le Sage (1252-1284)
Authors: Escurignan Soizic
Published: December 2021

Cet article propose d’aborder la folie royale dans la Estoria de España, chronique retraçant l’histoire de l’Espagne depuis les origines, rédigée à la fin du XIIIe siècle sous l’égide du roi de Castille et León, Alphonse X le Sage. Au Moyen Âge, le paradigme de la folie est clairement codifié et renvoie à un certain nombre de topiques, comme la maladie, le péché ou encore quelques attributs physiques spécifiques, qui peuvent concerner toutes les catégories de la population. Néanmoins, la figure royale est normalement exclue de ce paradigme, car la folie et tous les dérèglements qu’elle comporte porteraient atteinte à l’essence même de la royauté. À la rigueur, le roi peut être associé à d’autres formes d’inconduite assimilées à la folie, telles que le péché ou le châtiment divin, mais pas à la maladie mentale en tant que telle. Dans ce contexte, comment la Estoria de España, qui narre l’histoire de l’Espagne à travers ses rois, concilie-t-elle l’image de la folie de certains rois – particulièrement les empereurs romains – héritée de ses sources avec les conceptions du XIIIe siècle ? Après un rappel de la conception de la folie au Moyen Âge, j’analyse ses manifestations dans le code juridique des Siete Partidas et surtout dans la Estoria de España afin de pouvoir appréhender la représentation, le sens et la fonction de la folie dans la narration littéraire des faits historiques.
Göğüs İncelemelerinde Farklı Tüp Voltajının Tüm Vücut Dozu ve Görüntü Kalitesine Etkisinin Termolüminesans Dozimetrelerle Değerlendirilmesi

Tanısal radyolojide görüntü kalitesi önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Dijital görüntülemenin, görüntüleri sayısal olarak elde etme, işleme ve saklama gibi avantajları vardır. Dijital dedektörlerin geniş dinamik aralığa sahip olması, daha iyi kalitede görüntülerin elde edilmesine olanak sağlar. Ancak hasta dozunda artışa sebep olabilmektedir. Bu nedenle görüntü kalitesi optimizasyonunun, doz ölçümleri ile beraber yürütülmesi gerekmektedir. ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) prensibine göre ışınlama, gerekli tanısal bilgileri elde etmek için ayarlanmalıdır ve hastaya verilen radyasyon dozu mümkün olduğunca en az seviyede tutulmalıdır. Bu durum, görüntü kalitesi ve hasta dozu arasında optimizasyon olması gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışmada, dijital radyografide yaygın olarak yapılan göğüs incelemelerinde görüntü kalitesi (Image Quality, IQ) ile hasta dozu arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Buna bağlı olarak, farklı demet kaliteleri için sabit dedektör dozunda tüm vücut etkin dozu (Effective Dose, ED) ve cilt dozu (Entrance Skin Dose, ESD) hesaplanmıştır. Aynı zamanda farklı tüp voltajlarının ve farklı dedektör dozlarının klinik görüntü kalitesi üzerine etkisi, % kontrast hesabı ve görünürlük indeksi (Vısıble Index, VI) ile düşük kontrast analizi yapılarak incelenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, termolüminesans (TLD-100, TLD-100H) dozimetrelerinin bu tür çalışmalarda kullanılabilirliği araştırılmıştır. Deneysel ve sayısal olarak elde edilen ölçüm sonuçlarına göre, en düşük tüp voltajı (70 kVp) ile en yüksek tüp voltajı (120 kVp) arasındaki kontrast farkı %67,48 ile %57,29 aralığında değişmektedir. Azalan tüp voltajı ile fotoelektrik etki daha baskın hale gelir ve saçılan foton miktarı azalır. Saçılan fotonların azalması sayesinde görüntü kontrastında iyileşme gözlenmiştir. Artan tüp voltajı ile görünürlük indeksi (Vısıble Index, VI) değerinin azaldığı görülmüştür ve bu sonuç, azalan tüp voltajlarında görüntü kalitesinin iyileştiği anlamı taşımaktadır. Çalışmanın diğer temel veri kaynağı olan lüminesans dozimetrelerde, TLD-100 ile gerçekleştirilen ölçümlerde, cilt giriş ve cilt çıkış değerleri arasındaki oran 1,24 olarak bulunmuştur. İki değer kıyaslandığında anlamlı bir fark olmadığı gözlenmiştir. TLD-100H’dan elde edilen cilt giriş değeri ile cilt çıkış değeri arasındaki oran ise yaklaşık olarak 17 kattır. Bu sonuç, TLD-100H’ ın TLD-100’e göre daha yüksek hassasiyetinin olduğunu doğrulamaktadır. Düşük dozun söz konusu olduğu durumlarda ve diagnostik enerji çalışma aralığında TLD-100H dozimetrelerin daha kullanışlı olduğu gösterilmiştir.
Estimating The Ability of Lanceleaf Arrowhead (Sagittaria lancifolia ) in Phytoremediation of Heavy Metal Copper (Cu)

One of Indonesia's strategies to improve the quality of its economy as a developing country is to boost industrial activity. However, the existence of industry has a detrimental consequence, one of which is heavy metal copper pollution (Cu). Phytoremediation is one of the ecologically acceptable pollutant treatment methods. Phytoremediation approaches using Sagittaria lancifolia plants are thought to be capable of overcoming heavy metal Cu contamination in the environment. This research is a preliminary study into the limitations of the Sagittaria lancifolia plant's capacity to absorb heavy metal Cu. This study employed an experimental technique, which was carried out between March 26 and April 7, 2021, in the Purwodadi Botanic Garden's Greenhouse, with four concentration variations, namely 0 mg/L, 1 mg/L, 3 mg/L, and 5 mg/L. According to the result of this research, the plant Sagittaria lancifolia may remediate heavy metal Cu at a maximum concentration of 5 mg/L. This is due to the fact that at this concentration, the Sagittaria lancifolia plant presents indications of death, particularly severe chlorosis and necrosis.
Redefinicja postrzegania ciała w dyskursie medialnym — ciałopozytywność i ciałoneutralność
Authors: Wójcik Kaja
Published: December 2021

Ciałopozytywność i ciałoneutralność to zjawiska o charakterze społecznym, których manifestacje od kilku lat dostrzegalne są w przestrzeni medialnej. Stojące za owymi pojęciami sposoby rozumienia ciała i cielesności trafiają na nieposiadający długiej historii ruchu fat activism polski grunt, zyskując na popularności widocznej w najpopularniejszych mediach społecznościowych. Poniższy artykuł stanowi próbę nakreślenia definicji i genezy ruchów fat activism, ciałopozytywności i ciałoneutralności, a jednocześnie jest pretekstem do krytycznego namysłu nad polskim tłumaczeniem tych terminów i przeglądem (jednostkowych) polskojęzycznych publikacji odnoszących się do nowo powstałych ruchów.
Różnorodność jako wartość w employer brandingu na przykładzie komunikacji firm: Capgemini, IKEA, McDonald’s i PZU
Authors: Wiejak Bartłomiej
Published: December 2021

Jak prezentowana jest różnorodność w komunikacji employer brandingowej czterech polskich pracodawców? Do których jej wymiarów najczęściej nawiązują firmy? Analiza zawartości metodą jakościową objęła strony kariery, profile i ogłoszenia na Pracuj.pl, opisy profili w portalach społecznościowych Facebook, Instagram i LinkedIn, a obserwacje z niej zweryfikowano badaniem ilościowym postów w social mediach. Między 1 października a 31 grudnia 2020 roku firmy nawiązywały do różnorodności i prowadziły działania wspierające ją, choć w różnym stopniu — Capgemini odnosiło się do 19 wymiarów, IKEA — 17, McDonald’s — 11, a PZU — 9. Różnorodność to pożądana wartość dla trzech firm: Capgemini — głównie w kontekście korzyści biznesowych, IKEA — tworzenia rozwiązań dla klientów i swobody pracowników, McDonald’s — poszerzania horyzontów (choć bywa wyzwaniem). W komunikacji bieżącej Capgemini i PZU naj-częściej poruszały kwestie doświadczenia zawodowego i hobby, IKEA — wieku, płci, doświadczenia i stylu życia, McDonald’s — płci, wieku, niepełnosprawności.
