Published: March 2022

Objective: To explore the possible relationship between vitamin D and coronavirus disease-2019 in an urban population known to have relatively low vitamin D levels.
Method: The retrospective study was conducted in Bursa, Turkey, and comprised data of 30 family health centers from March 1 to December 15, 2020, related to diagnosed inpatients of coronovairus disease-2019. The diagnosis was based on polymerase chain reaction test for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 infection. Vitamin D levels of these patients were obtained from previous records and compared with those without polymerase chain reaction positivity. Vitamin D levels of positive patients who survived were compared with those who died of coronavirus disease-2019. Data was analysed using SPSS 21.
Result: Of the 2,105 patients whose data was retrived, 212(10%) were positive for coronavirus disease-2019, while 1,893(90%) were negative. Among the positive patients, 89(42%) were men and 123(58%) were women. The overall median age was 45 years (Q1-Q3(Q1: first quartile, Q3: third quartile): 35-56 years). Vitamin D level was not significantly different between the positive and negative patients (p>0.05). Among the positive patients, 2(0.9%) patients did not have new admissions to the designated centers and their data was excluded, 206(97.2%) survived and 4(1.9%) died. There was no significant difference in vitamin D levels between those who survived and those who died (p>0.05).
Conclusion: There was no significant relationship found between vitamin D levels and coronavirus disease-2019 infection and related deaths.

Too Much Nudging: Can it Cause a Decrease in the Desired Response?
Authors: Shah Jay , Shah Rohen , Liang Philip
Published: March 2022

Nudging is an important economic tool for governments as well as private corporations. While it is a common assumption that nudging can help maximize social benefit by altering choice architecture there is still much to research regarding the effects of nudging too much. In this paper, several mathematical models based on different assumptions have also been created to explain the hypothesis that excessive nudging can cause a decrease in the desired response. Psychological phenomena have been explored to posit reasons for this behavioural irrationality. After reviewing previous literature of experiments with multiple ‘doses’ of nudging, it is concluded that nudging too much may in fact have an adverse effect. A comparison to a Laffer curve derivation in this paper is the graphical model that future research may experimentally find to prove the hypothesis.

PurposeChronic social stress is known to induce inflammation in the brain, and early-life stress affects the brain and social behavior in adulthood. To study the relationship between social stress in childhood development and social behavior in adulthood, we subjected mice to a sequential early-life social stresses and characterized their adult behavioral phenotypes.MethodsC57BL/6 mice were sequentially subjected to maternal separation (MS), social defeat (SD), and social isolation (SI) in that order. The body weights of the MS/SD/SI mice were measured. Behavioral tasks related to anxiety, depression, locomotion, learning/memory, and repetitive/compulsive-like behavior were conducted. Social behaviors suggesting sociability, social interaction, aggression, and social fear were investigated. ResultsMS/SD/SI mice weighed less at 7 and 8 weeks of age. These mice displayed normal behaviors in anxiety-, depression-, and learning/memory-related tasks, but they exhibited increased locomotor activity and a low level of repetitive/compulsive-like behavior. Notably, they exhibited increased social interaction, impaired empathy-related fear, reduced predator fear, and increased defensive aggressiveness.ConclusionSocial stress during childhood development resulted in behavioral alterations, and MS/SD/SI mice generated by mimicking child abuse or maltreatment showed unique abnormalities in social behaviors. MS/SD/SI mice might be useful not only to study the relationship between social stress and brain inflammation but also psychosocial behaviors observed in individuals with brain disorders, such as psychopaths.

Vocabulary learning estrategies: their relation to learning success
Authors: Castellano-Risco Irene
Published: March 2022

In the fields of Second Language Acquisition, there is a recent trend towards the identification of vocabulary learning strategies. However, the majority of this work has focused on the identification of strategies itself, rather than relating it to vocabulary mastery. This article presents a study on the use of vocabulary learning strategies and their relation to receptive vocabulary size. To do so, seventy secondary-school learners took part in the study. They were asked to respond the 2K version of the Vocabulary Levels Test (Schmitt, Schmitt & Clapham, 2001) and a vocabulary learning strategies questionnaire, adapted from Schmitt’s taxonomy (1997). The data were examined looking into how the use of vocabulary learning strategies related to larger or smaller receptive vocabulary size. Results will have practical implications in language teaching, as, with the identification of those most useful strategies, teachers will be able to foster their use, turning learners’ efforts into a more successful experience.

Published: March 2022

La literatura infantil y juvenil (LIJ) posee un gran potencial de fomento a la lectura tanto en la lengua materna como en la extranjera, aunque su uso en las clases de ELE es escaso, si bien necesario. En este trabajo presentamos algunos proyectos basados en las estrategias de animación a la lectura de Montserrat Sarto (1998). Los proyectos se han llevado a cabo entre los jóvenes eslovenos tanto en su lengua materna como en las clases de ELE. Mientras que las estrategias de animación a la lectura, fundamentadas en el constructivismo, hacen posible la experiencia personal de la lectura y aumentan la competencia lectora y literaria tanto en lengua materna como en lengua extranjera, el uso de la LIJ en las clases de ELE aumenta el grado de autenticidad del contacto con la literatura escrita en español.

“Esse canto que devia ser um canto de alegria, soa apenas como um soluçar de dor” — Trabalhadores livres e escravizados no Rio de Janeiro (1830-1880)
Authors: Moraes Renata Figueiredo
Published: March 2022

O Império do Brasil nasceu com o reforço da escravização de homens e mulheres e nas décadas seguintes assistiu ao aumento do número de trabalhadores livres, principalmente na Corte. A construção de uma legislação que tentou organizar o trabalho, além de limitar as ações dos escravizados nas ruas, como as posturas municipais e a organização dos trabalhadores livres por direitos no trabalho são os temas deste texto que tem como mote a música “Canto das três raças”. Se todos os trabalhadores cantam um soluçar de dor, discutiremos os diferentes sentidos da liberdade e os problemas que envolviam alguns ofícios, além da comparação entre trabalhadores livres e escravizados e as hierarquias existentes entre eles, para além da diferença da condição jurídica. Os tipógrafos são a categoria privilegiada neste texto por publicarem alguns jornais de classe, entre os anos de 1858 e 1872, divulgando suas ideias sobre o trabalho, a baixa remuneração e as comparações com a escravidão. Enquanto as ruas da cidade eram ocupadas por escravizados que poderiam cantar para amenizar o trabalho, os livres, principalmente os tipógrafos, tinham nos jornais um espaço para as reclamações contra as prisões que diziam sofrer. O soluçar de dor durante o trabalho é o ponto em comum dos trabalhadores do Império do Brasil.
An evaluation of an HIV and AIDS management system (HAMS) in a Richards Bay company, KwaZulu-Natal : a case study
Authors:   , Odetokun Joseph
Published: March 2022

In South Africa, HIV and AIDS workplace programmes have been implemented for more than two decades without any audited and certifiable standards. In 2007, the South African National Standard launched South African National Standard (SANS 16001) 16001 to assist, encourage and support companies to implement minimum standards for HAMS. Companies are now expected to use this standard to improve HIV and AIDS Management System. It therefore, becomes imperative for companies to establish workplace HAMS in line with the set standard. To determine to what extent the company‟s HAMS has been aligned to the SANS 16001, an evaluation of the current management system in relation to the new SANS 16001 system is needed. Aim of the study The aim of the study was to evaluate the implementation of the HIV and AIDS Management System in a Richards Bay Company. Methodology A single case study using a quantitative research design was used to evaluate HAMS in a Richards Bay Company. The sample consisted of all consenting participants who were selected from key position holders in accordance with the requirements of SANS 16001: 2007 and the general workers. These key position holders were comprised of senior managers, middle managers and those employees who play an important role in implementing HAMS. Two different sets of questionnaires were used to collect data. One questionnaire was used to collect data from the managers because they were key role players in HAMS. The second questionnaire was used to collect data from the general workforce. The data from the questionnaire was captured and subsequently analysed using the version 9 of SPSS. Results There was evidence that the company was committed to continuous improvement regarding HIV and AIDS management as indicated by both key position holders and the general workforce.
An evaluation of the efficacy of a HIV and AIDS management system in a multinational manufacturing organisation in KwaZulu-Natal
Authors:   , Pillay Annezt Louise
Published: March 2022

South Africa is currently at the epicentre of the AIDS epidemic with 5.6 million people living with HIV disease. The province of KwaZulu-Natal has the biggest burden with an antenatal HIV prevalence of 39.5% in 2010. It is estimated that 24.5% of South Africa‟s working age population is HIV positive. Most infected people living with HIV in Africa are between ages 15 and 50 years which is the peak working age. AIDS now causes more deaths and suffering among the 18-44 year age group than any other disease. Organisations clearly present as one of the most effective and significant settings in which to respond to the epidemic. The effective management of HIV and AIDS within organisations is critical in order to reduce the negative consequences of the epidemic on the economy. HIV and AIDS Management Systems (HAMS) within organisations have been implemented for approximately twenty years but they have been largely ineffective, mainly due to poor uptake of services. Therefore, there is a need for HAMS practice to be evaluated in relation to current best practice standards to ensure quality management, continual improvement and successful uptake of services. This qualitative study evaluated one organisation‟s HAMS in relation to SANS 16001 and described employees‟ experiences of HAMS in this setting. The theoretical framework underpinning this study is the Deming cycle which is a well known quality management system methodology. From the results of the study it was apparent that the organisation was aligned with most of SANS 16001 general requirements for HAMS. Employees experienced the intended benefits of prevention, treatment and support from the organisation‟s HAMS.
A group analysis evaluation of selected synthetic recreational drug isolate remedies in terms of known materia medica
Authors:   , Chhiba Ujaswee
Published: March 2022

The addition of a large number of new remedies to the homoeopathic materia medica has made it challenging to select the correct remedy for a patient. Locating individual remedies within groups makes it easier to understand, remember and apply the information from the remedies. The aim of this research study was to evaluate common themes and symptomatology of homoeopathic remedies belonging to the synthetic recreational drug isolate group, as represented in the known homoeopathic materia medica and repertory. Most remedies derived from synthetic recreational drug isolate sources have not been well documented or comprehensively proven in homoeopathy, so are not well represented in repertory programs. Therefore, in addition, remedies in this study were selected according to the homoeopathic significance of each remedy, the availability of actual provings and representation in materia medica, the existence of a synthetic derivative of the drug, and if the drug was commonly used. The selected remedies were then subjected to a manual rubric extraction process in which common rubrics were extracted. The common rubrics were analyzed to determine common sensations within the group. The extracted sensations were then defined using a dictionary and synonyms were determined using a thesaurus. Each sensation was subjected to a literature search to test its validity. Second and third order analyses were performed based on the results. The most common sensations found as a result of this process were: dryness, itching, fear, anger, restlessness, anxiety, indifference, heaviness, heat, acute and weakness. The active and passive reactions and compensations of the synthetic recreational drug isolate group were also analyzed. The active reactions included anger, rage, acute, violence, impatience and irritation. Passive reactions were heaviness, numbness, dullness, faintness, weakness and coldness. The compensatory reaction included sensations of ecstasy, elation and euphoria or tranquillity. Each remedy was classified into specific miasms based on Sankaran’s miasmatic model (Sankaran, 1997). Each remedy was categorized as a particular miasm if the literature showed a clear predominance of the themes associated with that miasm. Many of the remedies had features of the AIDS, Cancer, Sycotic and Tubercular miasms. Pathological tendencies of the synthetic recreational drug isolate group involved the throat, eyes, stomach, nervous system, male genitalia and sleep patterns. Clinically, the remedies can be used in cases of mental disorders such as psychosis and schizophrenia, chronic fatigue, visual and sleeping disorders, anorexia nervosa and neurological disorders such as chorea, tremors and formication. The results of this study appear to confirm the application of the group analysis methodology as outlined by Sankaran (2002). The results also add depth to the existing literature on synthetic recreational drug isolate remedies.

Authors: SIDAL Uğur
Published: March 2022

Citric acid is one of the most remarkable industrial goods fabricated by industrial fermentation using filamentous fungus. When Aspergillus niger, a filamentous fungus, is produced under suitable conditions, high amounts of citric acid are obtained. This study aims to explain the citric acid synthesis studied in a biodisc reactor using A. niger. Various physiological parameters have been investigated in order to determine the optimum citric acid synthesis in biodisc reactor. Optimum incubation time was found to be as 168 hours in the study. The optimum value of the incubation temperature was determined to be 30°C. The optimum value of the initial pH was found to be 3.8. Optimum citric acid synthesis occurred when the disc rotation speed was 2 rpm. In addition, the optimum value of the initial sugar (sucrose) concentration was determined to be 20%. In a semi-continuous production study with the renewal of the medium after a certain incubation period, it was determined that the citric acid yield increased approximately 3 times compared to the batch system. As a result, the highest value of citric acid was determined as 67.65 g/L.

La metodología consiste en una comparación y revisión de las fuentes bibliográficas históricas y de los archivos, acudiendo a las fuentes más antiguas para poder tener una visión con aspectos que a veces no han sido tenidos demasiado en cuenta, ayudando así a un debate historiográfico. El desarrollo del artículo constata las reformas que durante los siete gobiernos se realizaron, con un profundo alcance en España, y algunas de las cuales perduraron en el tiempo. Así, observamos como los gobiernos tuvieron un alcance reformista mayor del que en otra literatura se ha considerado, dejando al margen las reformas de Ramón María Narváez, su calado y su importancia.

Resumo: O presente estudo discute o processo vivido por oito famílias que se disponibilizaram a conversar sobre o recebimento do diagnóstico do(a) filho(a) que necessitou de atendimento precoce. Buscou-se compreender esse momento através da escuta sensível e da literatura sobre a temática, a fim de melhorar a relação da escola com a família desde o início da trajetória escolar da criança com deficiência, para que juntas possam trabalhar da melhor forma visando o seu desenvolvimento. Foi adotada a pesquisa qualitativa, através da realização de entrevistas individuais com perguntas semiestruturadas a famílias de oito crianças com diagnóstico, que frequentam o Programa de Educação Precoce da Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Distrito Federal. As entrevistas foram transcritas integralmente e submetidas a uma análise de conteúdo. A análise das cinco categorias revelou através das falas das famílias que elas precisam de apoio e de uma fala sensível por parte da equipe que informa o diagnóstico, assim como percebe-se a necessidade de profissionais voltados para a família desde o pré-natal, caso haja alguma suspeita nessa fase, com apoio psicológico que auxilie tanto as famílias, quanto as crianças com deficiência nesse momento.

A suspensão das atividades de ensino presenciais, a partir de março de 2020, teve como objetivo possibilitar o distanciamento social necessário à prevenção do contágio e disseminação extensiva do vírus SARS-CoV-2. A continuidade da oferta do ensino levou à substituição emergencial e compulsória das relações presenciais para o ensino remoto, realidade em que os professores foram desafiados a incrementar o uso das Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação, buscando integrá-las às suas práticas docentes. À luz de uma perspectiva sociocultural e de desenvolvimento humano, reconhecemos nas tecnologias digitais importantes artefatos culturais que tem o potencial de mediar o processo de ensino e aprendizagem e impulsionar a construção de uma nova ecologia de aprendizagem. Nesse sentido, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar as experiências de 116 professores, do ensino médio de uma instituição pública brasileira da rede federal de ensino, quanto ao desenvolvimento de práticas docentes mediadas pelas tecnologias digitais, em face dos desafios trazidos pela pandemia. Para tanto desenvolvemos um questionário no qual apresentamos aos professores 16 práticas docentes, definidas no marco de uma nova ecologia de aprendizagem, e os questionamos quanto à presença e à regularidade delas no desenvolvimento de sua rotina docente. De acordo com os resultados obtidos, os professores declararam atuar a favor de uma nova ecologia de aprendizagem, desenvolvendo práticas que mesclam extensão e personalização da aprendizagem. As experiências registradas por eles durante a vivência do ensino remoto, foram analisadas e, ao final, refletirmos sobre possíveis legados à educação escolar no cenário pós-pandemia.

O ano de 2020 foi um ano atípico para a educação brasileira. O ensino remoto foi implementado de forma emergencial trazendo consigo muitos desafios e incógnitas. Em meio a esse cenário, os docentes necessitaram rever suas práticas educativas, bem como os materiais didáticos que seriam utilizados no formato digital, os quais ganharam novos contornos.  Neste contexto, questiona-se, nesta pesquisa: os materiais didáticos e videoaulas produzidos por professores durante o período de ensino remoto emergencial em virtude da pandemia de COVD-19 são protegidos pelo direito autoral e de imagem? Em busca de respostas para essa questão, este estudo analisa o problema com base na experiência do estado de Mato Grosso no início de sua implementação, regulamentado por uma portaria estadual. Para tanto, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa bibliográfica a partir do estudo de diferentes autores e diferentes abordagens, bem como, da legislação atual, seguida de uma análise documental, buscando cotejar abordagens teóricas e jurídicas sobre o tema direitos autorais e direito de imagem na profissão docente. Como principais achados da pesquisa, tensiona-se que algumas normativas tem deixado dúvidas aos professores quanto à temática, em especial se considerarmos que existem professores efetivos e contratados. Ainda, ressaltamos a necessidade de professores e gestores se apropriarem dessa importante discussão.
A persistência da poesia
Authors: Souza Fabiana Oliveira de
Published: March 2022

Este trabalho apresenta algumas das interferências da pandemia de Covid-19 nas competições de poesia performática do poetry slam, com o objetivo de refletir sobre as consequências na elaboração e execução deste evento artístico-cultural de forma virtual. Apesar de ser uma atividade que tem a presença física como fundamental para o estreitamento dos laços entre poetas e público, a poesia persistiu e as batalhas de slam foram adaptadas ao “novo normal” para continuarem acontecendo. Para apontar quais mudanças mais se destacam nessa passagem de um formato ao outro, analisaram-se três disputas de poetry slam realizadas desde o início da pandemia. As contribuições teóricas de Paul Zumthor (1997, 2014), Zygmunt Bauman (2005), Ruth Finnegan (2005, 2016), Martina Pfeiler (2003), Giorgio Agamben (2020), Boaventura de Sousa Santos (2020), entre outros, fundamentaram tais discussões.
REPENSANDO AS ESTRUTURAS

Diante das circunstâncias que abarcam o meio social, é de suma importância discutir as posições e as concepções que circulam na sociedade, rever posicionamentos equivocados e preconceitos enraizados, assim, este trabalho visa expor uma sequência didática básica aplicada em uma escola da zona da mata. Os métodos que conduzem este trabalho se configuram como uma pesquisa-ação atrelada ao método de revisão bibliográfica. Por suporte teórico, para embasar a intervenção na escola, levaram-se em consideração os seguintes autores: Antonio Candido (1973) e seu trabalho sobre literatura e sociedade; Abdias do Nascimento (1978) e seu estudo a respeito do genocídio negro brasileiro; Nilson Carvalho (2018) e sua pesquisa sobre “Metaliteratura e obras”; e a letra da música “Canção Infantil”, do rapper César Mc (2019), trabalhada com três terceiros anos. Dessa forma, foi possível notar a importância que autores contemporâneos possuem em testificar e imprimir as visões de mundo que compreendem as suas vivências. Através dessa letra de música foi possível notar o que Abdias retrata como um "processo mascarado", que necessariamente não é tão mascarado assim; visto que a literatura, detentora desse paradigma ético, é utilizada como ferramenta de denúncia e resistência às opressões sofridas e às pressões enfrentadas. Portanto, é de suma importância aqui apontar para a literatura e a história como auxiliadoras na compreensão da realidade, e justamente foi esta a concepção passada, transmitida e construída com os alunos que receberam as visitas do grupo.
CRENÇAS DE PROFESSORES EM RELAÇÃO À INCLUSÃO DO ALUNO SURDO NA UNIVERSIDADE

Esta pesquisa tem como tema as possíveis crenças (PAJARES, 1992; BARCELOS, 2001, 2004) que envolvem o processo de ingresso educacional do primeiro aluno surdo no curso de Engenharia Civil da Universidade Estadual de Goiás (UEG), campus Anápolis-GO. A justificativa se baseia na necessidade de se discutir a formação de um engenheiro surdo, tendo em vista que é um fato inédito na instituição e acredita-se que as crenças do corpo docente podem influenciar neste processo. Destaca-se a relevância do tema devido à escassez de pesquisas na área de Linguística Aplicada que analisem crenças de professores de surdos. O objetivo geral é identificar e analisar possíveis crenças dos docentes, classificando-as em nucleares e/ou periféricas. Utilizou-se como metodologia uma abordagem qualitativa realizada a partir de pesquisas bibliográficas, elaboração, aplicação e análise de questionário. Dentre os 33 professores contatados, 13 se dispuseram a responder o questionário, que foi enviado via correio eletrônico. As referências utilizadas foram Pajares (1992), Barcelos (2004, 2006), Silva (2007), dentre outros autores que discutem a temática. Os resultados apontaram três possíveis crenças periféricas e três nucleares deste grupo de docentes, e, ainda, compreende-se que estas podem influenciar diretamente no processo de ensino e aprendizagem do aluno surdo. Ressalta-se, também, a necessidade de desenvolvimento de pesquisas nessa área a fim de possibilitar novas discussões que proporcionem aprendizagem e possíveis mudanças de crenças.
