Redefining Jihad, Hijrah, and Caliph in Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf
Authors: Djohar Hasnul Insani , Oktaviano Willy
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Historically, Orientalism has perceived Islam in reductionist views for centuries. To resist this basic view, it is crucial to investigate Mohja Kahf’s The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2005), which redefines Islam and Islamic terms, such as Jihad, Hijrah, and Caliph in more positive insights. Kahf’s text questions orientalists, which tend to misrepresent Muslims in a limited way, such as Jihad associated with terrorism and killing others instead of fighting against worldly desires. To contest these negative misrepresentations of the Muslim world, in her novel, Kahf uses Islamic sacred texts, such as Surah At-Taubah (Repentance) and Al-A’raf (The Heights), to redefine Islam as a religion, which promotes Salam (peace) and tolerance in the world instead of violence as misrepresented in Western liberalism. By engaging with postcolonial and Islamic studies, this paper investigates how Kahf uses the Quran and hadiths in her novel to reject imperialist perspectives. Thus, Kahf’s novel explores the Islamic sacred texts to inspire people how to live in a modern society by appreciating different people regardless of their different races and faiths and practicing tolerance to establish a more global civilized society.

[Secara historis, Orientalisme telah memandang Islam dalam pandangan reduksionis selama berabad-abad. Untuk menolak pandangan dasar ini, penting untuk menyelidiki The Girl in the Tangerine Scarf (2005) karya Mohja Kahf, yang mendefinisikan ulang Islam dan istilah-istilah Islam, seperti Jihad, Hijrah, dan Khalifah dalam wawasan yang lebih positif. Teks Kahfi mempertanyakan para orientalis yang cenderung memberikan gambaran keliru tentang umat Islam secara terbatas, seperti Jihad yang dikaitkan dengan terorisme dan membunuh orang lain alih-alih berperang melawan keinginan duniawi. Untuk melawan kesalahpahaman negatif tentang dunia Muslim, dalam novelnya, Kahfi menggunakan teks suci Islam, seperti Surah At-Taubah (Pertobatan) dan Al-A'raf (Ketinggian), untuk mendefinisikan kembali Islam sebagai agama yang mengedepankan Salam ( perdamaian) dan toleransi di dunia dibandingkan kekerasan seperti yang disalahartikan dalam liberalisme Barat. Dengan terlibat dalam studi pascakolonial dan Islam, makalah ini menyelidiki bagaimana Kahf menggunakan Al-Quran dan hadis dalam novelnya untuk menolak perspektif imperialis. Oleh karena itu, novel Kahfi mengeksplorasi kitab-kitab suci Islam untuk menginspirasi masyarakat bagaimana hidup dalam masyarakat modern dengan menghargai orang yang berbeda tanpa membedakan ras dan keyakinannya serta mengamalkan toleransi untuk mewujudkan masyarakat beradab yang lebih global.

Res divini juris as res extra commercium: a Comparative Analysis of Doctrine and Case Law
Authors: Lytvynenko Anatoliy A.
Published: January 2025

The Roman law doctrine res extra commercium has excluded certain objects from civil-legal transactions, some of which were related to divine service or otherwise religious purposes. The Roman law doctrine designated them as res divini juris, which referred to all the objects dedicated to the Gods. The theory of res divini juris developed predominantly in civil law jurisdictions based upon the basis of the old Roman law doctrine, and could be found in legal literature, textbooks, legislation and, case law. Since the times of the Ancient Rome, the attitude to the legal status of res divini juris gradually alterated, as well as the scope of its encompassment. Despite being formally excluded from any civil-legal transactions, such objects ceased to be completely excluded from legal relationships and disputes, and are afforded with proper legal protection. Throughout the ages, courts in different states have applied and discussed the doctrine of res divini juris in various legal disputes. Complicated legal disputes concerning res divini juris also arise a question, of whether res divini juris are always res extra commercium, and if not, what are the exceptions from the rule, if any? Finally, could it be estimated, what chattels may belong to res divini juris? Do the valuable archeological findings belong to res divini juris? The article discusses the existing law doctrine of res divini juris and the applicable case law in a form of a comparative analysis in order to establish the legal status of res divini juris.
Unterlagen der staatssicherheitsdienstlichen Überwachungen in Ungarn – Zugang, Aufarbeitung, Hindernisse
Authors: Ráth Olivér , Varga Ádám
Published: January 2025

More than thirty years have passed since the change of regime and the question of what can be done by those who were under state surveillance in the previous regime is still relevant. How can a victim find out who tore his family apart, who ruined his career? Will the identity of the collaborators ever come to light? Can these people still participate in public life and hold public office today? In our study, we take stock of the specificities of the subject in Hungary and the obstacles to facing history. We conclude that the exclusion from holding a public office is overdue, the documents are incomplete, their authenticity is questionable, and the issue is sensitive because of competing fundamental rights. The generation that has become of age since the change of regime is less and less interested in our immediate past. This trend is dangerous, because the unresolved past contributes to the blurring of the dividing line between the two regimes to the point where, faced with the new difficulties, society is left longing for the old. Will there be a real change? The legal possibility (at least in the field of information compensation) is still there, and this is what we show in our study.
Doktrína řádného procesu jako prostředek inkorporace Bill of Rights
Authors: Ženíšek Jaroslav
Published: January 2025

The incorporation of the Bill of Rights against the states through the Fourteenth Amendment belongs among the most complex topics of American constitutional law. The first question to ask is obviously “Was the Bill of Rights incorporated against the states with the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment?” Even if we answer this essential and difficult question in the affirmative, we face another one, no less important, which is: Through which of the clauses of section one of the Fourteenth Amendment was incorporation implemented? Among the proponents of the incorporation theory we find two groups: one that advocates incorporation through the privileges or immunities clause and another one that supports incorporation through the due process clause or the so called doctrine of substantive due process. Substantive due process is one of the phenomenons of American constitutional law that influenced legal evolution in the United States in a fundamental way, mainly during the 20th century when the concept of substantive due process experienced a steep rise that manifested itself not only in the area of protection of rights and freedoms not explicitly mentioned in the Constitution, but also those clearly mentioned in the amendments that constitute the Bill of Rights. It was the very substantive due process doctrine which was used by the federal Supreme Court as basis for gradual incorporation of the individual guarantees contained in the Bill of Rights to state and local level. It is, however, necessary to ask whether the Supreme Court, while trying to reach this goal, did not embrace a doctrine which lacks basis in the text of the Constitution and the traditions of the common law, thus being only an artificial creation of the Supreme Court itself as to this day, many suggest. This paper deals with the origins, historical meaning and evolution of the concept of due process and tries to show whether the substantive due process doctrine has a real legal foundation and can therefore serve as means for incorporation of the Bill of Rights.

Published: January 2025

With the increasing demand for eco-friendly epoxides derived from vegetable oils, recent efforts have focused on developing methods for the epoxidation of sunflower oil. Sunflower oil, in particular, has emerged as a promising candidate for epoxidation due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids, which provide abundant double bonds suitable for epoxide formation. In this study, epoxidized sunflower oil was produced using in situ formed peracid with a hybrid oxygen carrier combining formic acid and acetic acid. The optimal epoxidation reaction parameters were determined as follows: (1) a reaction temperature of 75 °C, (2) a catalyst loading of 0.9 g of hybrid oxygen carrier, (3) a stirring speed of 450 rpm, and (4) a hydrogen peroxide to sunflower oil molar ratio of 1.5. This research contributes to transforming sunflower oil into a value-added product, thereby reducing reliance on petroleum-based resources.
Gene therapy in polycystic kidney disease: A promising future
Authors: Xue Cheng , Lv Jiayi , Yang Bo , Mei Shuqin , Xu Jing , Li Xinming , Zhang Liming , Mao Zhiguo
Published: January 2025

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder marked by numerous cysts in the kidneys, progressively impairing renal function. It is classified into autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD), with ADPKD being more common. Current treatments mainly focus on symptom relief and slowing disease progression, without offering a cure. Recent advancements in gene editing technologies, such as CRISPR-Cas9, have introduced new therapeutic possibilities for PKD. These approaches include miR-17 antisense oligonucleotides, adenovirus-mediated gene knockdown, Pkd1 gene or polycystin -1 C-terminal tail enhancement therapy, and 3′-UTR miR-17 binding element by CRISPR-Cas9, which have shown potential in animal models and early clinical trials. Specifically for ARPKD, strategies like antisense oligonucleotide therapy targeting c-myc and CRISPR/ Cas9 knockdown of the P2rx7 gene have shown promise. Despite facing challenges such as technological limitations, ethical and legal issues, and high costs, gene therapy presents unprecedented hope for PKD treatment. Future interdisciplinary collaboration and international cooperation are essential for developing more effective treatment strategies for PKD patients.
14-3-3 Eta protein as a novel biomarker in early detection of uveitis in Egyptian juvenile idiopathic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis patients: Diagnostic and prognostic value
Authors: Saif Dalia Salah , Dawoud Manar Fawzy , Medhat Abeer , Al Sharaki Dina Rifaat , Fotoh Dina Salem
Published: January 2025

Background and Objectives

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) and Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are autoimmune chronic inflammatory disorders of undetermined cause. Uveitis is one of the commonest and most dangerous extra-articular manifestations of JIA and RA presenting chronic anterior uveitis with non-specific biomarkers for its early detection. We evaluated the role of serum 14-3-3 Eta protein to assess its potential role as a novel biomarker for the early detection of uveitis in Egyptian JIA and RA patients as well as its correlation with disease activity.

Methods

A case-control study included three patient groups: group I includes 42 JIA patients, group II includes 42 RA patients, and an equal number of apparently healthy individuals matched in sex and age for each group of patients as controls, recruited from the rheumatology outpatient clinic. All participants were subjected to clinical examination, laboratory investigations with assessment of serum levels of 14-3-3 Eta protein, and ophthalmologic investigations to assess disease activity, eye affection, and its relation to 14-3-3 Eta protein level, and other disease variables among those patients.

Results

a statistically significant difference was estimated between the two patients’ groups and controls regarding 14-3-3 Eta protein level. 14-3-3 Eta protein has a significant positive correlation with disease activity in JIA and RA patients. Also, RA patients with clinical uveitis had higher levels of the 14-3-3 Eta protein, while there were no significant differences among JIA patients with or without uveitis.

Conclusion

14-3-3 Eta protein is a potential diagnostic biomarker in early detection of uveitis in RA patients, as it is higher in patients versus controls especially those with uveitis with a cut-off point 57.5, at which patients must have a thorough eye examination to receive early intervention and, to prevent complications, while it doesn’t have the same role in JIA patients. 14-3-3 Eta protein is a potential diagnostic and prognostic marker for JIA and RA being correlated with disease activity.
La notion de vérité à l’épreuve de l’intelligence artificielle
Authors: Compagno Dario
Published: January 2025

Pouvons-nous appliquer les notions traditionnelles de vérité et d’erreur à la production artificielle d’énoncés? A partir d’une tripartition proposée par Umberto Eco, l’article s’interroge sur la pertinence contemporaine des critères de vérité utilisés pour évaluer les énoncés humains. Il s’agit de remarquer que les énoncés artificiels ne sont pas vrais ou faux comme ceux produits par les humains, ce qui remet en question notre conception du langage. L’article identifie la spécificité et les limites de la génération automatique de langage dans l’incapacité des machines de s’ancrer au réel par le biais de la perception. Il conclut en indiquant les potentialités de l’énonciation mécanique et nomme “humilité,” l’attitude, opposée au concept courant d’explicabilité, que l’on pourrait adopter vis-à-vis des intelligences artificielles.

Published: January 2025

Teachers are expected to be able to carry out learning in accordance with the merdeka curriculum, including the use of teaching modules in accordance with the provisions of the curriculum. Ideally, teachers can design teaching modules optimally. However, in reality, many teachers are not yet able to create teaching modules merdekaly according to the needs and situations in their learning environment. Several teachers stated that it required additional time, money and energy to compose teaching modules comprehensively, which became an obstacle in preparing teaching modules merdekaly. The Office Management and Business Services Skills Program (MPLB) in Phase F is not included in the Center of Excellence (PK) Vocational School program, part of the merdeka learning program. The aim of this service activity is to strengthen partners' skills in compiling merdeka curriculum teaching modules through several stages: socialization, training, mentoring and evaluation. This devotion was carried out for one week from June 26 to July 3, 2024 offline with 25 teacher participants at State Vocational School 2, Semarang City. The evaluation results show an increase in participants' abilities and skills in compiling Phase F teaching modules according to the existing learning environment.
The Unified Era: An understanding journey from observations to the Unified Model of Active Galactic Nuclei
Authors: Santos Leonardo de Lima , Soltau Samuel Bueno
Published: January 2025

The Unified Model of Active Galactic Nuclei (UMAGN) serves as a comprehensive theoretical framework designed to elucidate the myriad observations of AGN, encompassing both quasars and Seyfert galaxies. This model attributes observed variations to distinct orientations of a circumnuclear matter disk around a supermassive black hole (SMBH). The primary factor influencing the observational diversity lies in the alignment of the AGN with the observer's line of sight. We provide an exhaustive overview of observational evidence, empirical and theoretical research, tracing pivotal milestones that have led to a unified perspective. Our exposition encapsulates the scientific journey culminating in the proposal of UMAGN, delving into insights regarding the accretion disk, torus, and relativistic jet. We emphasize key properties of objects within the UMAGN framework. Furthermore, we underscore recent progress in multimessenger research involving electromagnetic waves, gravitational waves, astroparticles, and neutrinos. Noteworthy collaborations, such as the Event Horizon Telescope, LIGO/Virgo, IceCube, Pierre Auger, and KM3Net, have significantly advanced this field. We argue that these collaborative efforts present opportunities to enhance and refine UMAGN, thereby contributing to a profound understanding of AGNs and their implications for the formation and evolution of galaxies. The convergence of observational and theoretical research, coupled with emerging multimessenger techniques, paves the way for substantial strides in comprehending these enigmatic cosmic phenomena.

Authors: Zevallos Morales Mauro Nestor
Published: January 2025

Both public and private organizations are going through dynamic scenarios with the emergence and inrush of new information technologies, making an increasingly intensive use of information. When analyzing the processes and interrelationships of these organizations with the information resources they access, it is essential to consider the new risks to which organizations are exposed. This requires developing risk management strategies that facilitate the analysis, identification and treatment of the risks associated with information assets in order to find ways to minimize the negative impact. In this scenario, the use of risk management models that simplify and systematize these tasks are useful.
The present study includes a review of the literature referring to risk management frameworks, models and methodologies, to identify the activities, elements and components to develop for the development of a risk management model oriented to information security, which allows covering issues related to information security, cybersecurity and compliance with the particular requirements of the organization for the development of a model aligned to the needs and requirements of an organization.

Мифологические аспекты просветительской деятельности «учёной дружины»
Authors: Savelieva Marina
Published: January 2025

The focus of the article is an analysis of the educational activities of the intellectual community «Studiosa Cohors» in the first half of the 18th century. It is shown that the main mission of F. Prokopovich, V. Tatishchev, A. Kantemir was the enlightenment of the Russian people by preserving the ideological heritage of Peter the Great as a continuation of the myth of the monarch serving the Fatherland. In this regard, the article explores the concepts of «cohors», «duty», «honor» and their mythological background. It is shown that the content of the worldview problems of Russian enlighteners determined the original form of presentation of their reflections. They did not always use the genre of a systematic treatise to express their ideas, stayed in the space of interdisciplinary intersections of various research trajectories and did not consider pursuing philosophy to be their profession. In this way that they represented the practical orientation of enlightenment thinking and confirmed their devotion to the ideas of Peter’s reforms. For the full implementation of enlightenment, there must be a space for public discussion of the main worldview ideas. This not only teaches citizens to freely express their own thoughts, but also removes the contradiction between public freedom of thinking and individual restraint of actions. In Russia of Peter the Great age, the active civic position of building a new state was an expression of public freedom of thinking.
Ujęcie intuicji w filozofii Mikołaja Łosskiego
Authors: Bilyi Pylyp
Published: January 2025

The purpose of this article is to show the main assumptions of the notion of ‘intuition’ in the philosophy of Nikolai Lossky. The notion of intuition is examined on the basis of the Russian philosopher’s works, primarily The Fundamental Doctrines of Psychology from the Point of View of Voluntarism (1903), The Intuitive Basis of Knowledge (1906) and Sensuous, intellectual and mystical intuition (1938). The initial hypothesis is that the notion of intuition is the result of prior assumptions in a broader metaphysical scheme. Thus, it did not arise at all from epistemological detailed analyses of the process of cognition, but was derived as a consequence of other, more general metaphysical assumptions. This does not mean, however, that the author proposes to abandon the notion of intuition in general. Rather, he points out the paradoxical fact that in the concept of intuitionism, the notion of intuition plays a secondary role to such metaphysical assumptions as gnoseological co-ordination or the division of the world into self and non-self.

La política estética de las emociones negativas: reflexiones marginales desde Sianne Ngai y Theodor Adorno
Authors: Galván Francisco Hernández
Published: January 2025

Resumen: Este ensayo problematiza algunas reflexiones de la maquinaria afectiva negativa de Sianne Ngai y Theodor W. Adorno en el planteamiento de una política estética de las emociones negativas como respuesta crítica a los guiones culturales emotivos. Como telón de fondo partimos de la estetización del capitalismo y la política estética contemporánea. Las emociones negativas se convierten en una aproximación fértil para comprender las dinámicas de poder en la sociedad contemporánea, así como para cuestionar las formas tradicionales de análisis estético y político. En última instancia, se sugiere que la política estética de las emociones negativas representa una vía para desafiar ciertas estructuras de figuración y una posible ruta de análisis materialista de las emociones.
A study on commodity criticism from the perspective of marxist semiotics
Authors: Li Yi , Wang Xinpeng
Published: January 2025

Abstract: Marxist semiotics provides a comprehensive and critical framework for understanding and challenging the contemporary information society’s socioeconomic dynamics. By integrating Marxist theory and semiotics, this paper is to examine how commodities function as both material objects and carriers of meaning, and how digital advancements have intensified phenomena, such as alienated labor and symbolic consumption. Secondary data sources, including case studies and theoretical analyses, are utilized to explore real-world contexts that demonstrate the material and symbolic roles of digital commodities. Currency, as a meta-sign, interprets commodity signs and shapes societal values and relationships. The study addresses the information society, where the production, circulation, exchange and consumption of information form a cohesive trinity of media, intelligence and consumption. The fundamental arguments include the transformation of human survival in the digital age and the need for new academic interpretations, which contributes to both policy and theoretical discussions by bridging the gap between economic production and symbolic consumption. The study concludes with recommendations for further research on the socioeconomic implications of digital technologies.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the incidence and characteristics of injuries that occurred during the 2021 season of the Paulista Soccer Championship during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic and to compare these characteristics before and after the championship interruption. Methods: A prospective study was conducted using an electronic form developed by the Medical Committee of the Paulista Soccer Federation. The results were sent by the team physicians of Series A1 after each round of the Paulista Soccer Championship. Results: Series A1 presented 7.2 injuries per 1,000h of game time. Most injuries occurred within 31–45 min of the match, with muscle injuries being the most frequent and the lower limbs the most affected. Only 10% of injuries required surgery. The strikers were the most affected players and most injuries occurred in penalty-free movements. There was no statistical difference between pre- and post-interruption of the championship due to the pandemic. Conclusion: The incidence of injuries per 1,000h was below the average reported in the literature. Most injuries occurred in the lower limbs; muscle sprains were the most common type of injury, followed by sprains and fractures. MRI was the most commonly requested examination; and most injuries were classified as moderate. Overall, 10% of the injuries were treated surgically. There was no difference between pre- and post-championship interruption. Level of evidence VI, Descriptive epidemiology study.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological profile of patients diagnosed with ankle fracture admitted to a tertiary hospital. Methods: Retrospective Cross-Sectional Observational Study. Inclusion Criteria: Individuals aged ≥18 (eighteen) years, diagnosed with ankle fracture, who underwent surgical and/or conservative treatment at a tertiary hospital in the city of São Paulo. Exclusion Criteria: Medical records with incomplete data, patients transferred to other hospital services. Results: There was a higher prevalence of: mechanism of trauma due to motorcycle accidents (27.9%), surgical treatment (92.7%), with a higher frequency of use of plates and screws (68.5%). The most common type of fracture were bimalleolar and trimalleolar (23.8%; 20.5%), classified as AO44B2 and AO44B3, both with 17.8%. Conclusion: Ankle fractures in this study were predominantly seen in male patients, aged from 30 to 39 years, with the main mechanism of injury being a motorcycle accident. There was a correlation between mechanism of injury and fracture classification , with the most common being types 44B2 and 44B3, and the use of an external fixator in 9.1% of cases. The death rate was significant when related to associated injuries, in polyfractured patients. Level of Evidence II, Retrospective study.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the satisfaction of patients who underwent hand surgical treatment with the wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) anesthesia technique. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study on the satisfaction of patients who underwent hand surgical treatment with the WALANT technique. These patients were treated at the Hand and Microsurgery outpatient clinic of a public hospital from March 2020 to March 2022. They were assessed by the modified Heidelberg questionnaire. Results: The overall average of satisfaction totaled 3.27 (maximum value 4, SD 0.52, p-value 0.04), representing a good result. Patients’ profile characteristics showed no statistically significant differences. Conclusion: The efficiency of WALANT technique stemmed from the high satisfaction rate of patients undergoing minor surgeries, justifying its use as a routine option in outpatient surgeries in the public system.

ABSTRACT Objective: Soccer shows a high incidence of injuries and its cause is multifactorial. The impacts of the coronavirus pandemic are unknown. This study aims to evaluate the incidence of injuries in the 2023 Campeonato Paulista de Futebol (São Paulo Soccer Championship) and compare it to the championships prior to the pandemic. Methods: This study was conducted by collecting data on injuries among players in the A1 Series of the 2023 São Paulo Soccer Championship. Injuries were recorded by each team’s medical staff via an online questionnaire. The variables included: Type of Field, Weather, Temperature, Distance, Home Advantage, Age, Type and Location of Injury. The primary outcome is to evaluate the incidence of injuries, and the secondary outcomes are to analyze the relationship between the described variables, the observed incidence, and the comparison of data obtained from 2016 to 2019. Results: In 2023, 76 injuries were recorded, an incidence of 22.1 injuries/1,000h. Muscle injuries (46.1%) and sprains (18.4%) were the most common. From 2016 to 2019, there was a decrease in the incidence of injuries per 1,000h, respectively: 24.2; 17.6; 14 and 10.5. Conclusion: the incidence in 2023 was 22.1 injuries/1,000h, which points to an increase compared to the pre-pandemic period. Level of Evidence II, Comparative Prospective Study

Abstract The present work carried out an inventory of species in the Environmental Protection Area (EPA) of Serra de Baturité. Five kingdoms of living beings were recorded, analyzing 135 publications and using Jardim’s virtual herbarium online platform Botanist of Rio de Janeiro. Data includes occurrence, conservation status, endemism and exotic and migratory species. In total, 1,338 taxa distributed in nine phyla, 20 classes, 92 orders and 261 families. Of these, 672 species belong to the Kingdom Animalia, 654 to Kingdom Plantae, 10 to Kingdom Fungi, one to Kingdom Monera and one to the Protista Kingdom. Were identified 206 species endemic to Brazilian territory and 110 species threatened at national and international level. Additionally, 39 species of exotic animals and plants and 33 migratory birds were recorded. These numbers highlight the Serra de Baturité EPA as a priority area for preservation, of extreme biological importance. The region has great biodiversity and a rich distribution of taxa, facilitating scientific dissemination and research, in addition to contributing to the conservation and preservation of biodiversity in the face of overexploitation of natural resources.
Técnicas de randomização e alocação para estudos clínicos

Published: January 2025

Resumo Estudos de intervenção requerem que todos os participantes sejam provenientes da mesma população, com alocação aleatória aos grupos de intervenção (GI) para garantir comparabilidade. A randomização é fundamental para minimizar fatores de confusão, permitindo que diferenças nos resultados sejam atribuídas à intervenção. A randomização simples é eficaz para amostras grandes (>100 por grupo), mas amostras menores podem exigir randomização em blocos ou estratificada para equilibrar os tamanhos dos grupos e as covariáveis. Quando a randomização não é viável, métodos quasi-randomizados (como baseados em datas ou ordem de inclusão) podem ser utilizados, mas devem ser acompanhados de ajustes multivariados. Além disso, o cegamento e a ocultação da alocação aumentam a validade interna e a reprodutibilidade. A ocultação da alocação (ex.: envelopes lacrados) evita vieses durante a designação dos participantes, enquanto o cegamento reduz vieses de detecção e desempenho. Descrições metodológicas detalhadas em registros de ensaios clínicos e publicações aumentam a confiabilidade e a reprodutibilidade dos estudos, destacando a importância de um planejamento rigoroso e de relatórios transparentes em pesquisas de intervenção. Este artigo revisa os principais conceitos de randomização, cegamento e ocultação de alocação em estudos de intervenção.
Políticas linguísticas e educacionais para acolhimento entre línguas

Published: January 2025

RESUMO Com o objetivo de problematizar ações educacionais de acolhimento para atender migrantes de crise em Roraima, debato questões referentes a políticas linguísticas em perspectiva plurilíngue e decolonial. A base teórica segue os pressupostos da Linguística Aplicada (Moita Lopes, 2006) em diálogo com os estudos decoloniais (Mignolo, 2010, 2013); já o arcabouço metodológico está enquadrado na pesquisa qualitativa interpretativista (Moita Lopes, 1994), com análise de Resoluções que versam sobre matrículas, equivalência e exames de classificação de estudantes migrantes na Educação Básica, e destacando as ações de acolhimento linguístico que vêm sendo desenvolvidas com o advento da migração de crise em Roraima. Os resultados sugerem que houve um avanço considerável nas políticas da área educacional de uma forma geral. Embora as ações em nível de Estado sejam incipientes e algumas ainda não estejam efetivadas, se executadas com êxito, poderão colaborar com a garantia dos direitos linguísticos de estudantes migrantes de crise. No entanto, são necessárias mais políticas verticais capazes de fomentar e orientar ações específicas e concretas para a valorização, o respeito e o desenvolvimento adequado de todos os estudantes.
