The Impact of Racism on Child and Adolescent Health
Authors: Trent Maria , Dooley Danielle G. , Dougé Jacqueline ,   SECTION ON ADOLESCENT HEALTH, COUNCIL ON COMMUNITY PEDIATRICS, COMMITTEE ON ADOLESCENCE
Published: July 2023

The American Academy of Pediatrics is committed to addressing the factors that affect child and adolescent health with a focus on issues that may leave some children more vulnerable than others. Racism is a social determinant of health that has a profound impact on the health status of children, adolescents, emerging adults, and their families. Although progress has been made toward racial equality and equity, the evidence to support the continued negative impact of racism on health and well-being through implicit and explicit biases, institutional structures, and interpersonal relationships is clear. The objective of this policy statement is to provide an evidence-based document focused on the role of racism in child and adolescent development and health outcomes. By acknowledging the role of racism in child and adolescent health, pediatricians and other pediatric health professionals will be able to proactively engage in strategies to optimize clinical care, workforce development, professional education, systems engagement, and research in a manner designed to reduce the health effects of structural, personally mediated, and internalized racism and improve the health and well-being of all children, adolescents, emerging adults, and their families.

Vaccinations are a relatively recent development in human history. Variolation, i.e. contacting healthy persons with biological material from mildly ill individuals was the prototype of a vaccine. Although used for centuries, it was only at the end of the 19th century that Louis Pasteur developed the first successful vaccines (including against rabies). Over the years, new preparations against many diseases were developed and improved by modifying, among others, route of administration or antigen vector. The general mechanism of action, i.e. preparing the immune system to fight off a given pathogen, remained unchanged. Vaccination has contributed to the reduced spread of multiple infectious diseases, and even complete elimination of some of them. The discovery of vaccination had a significant impact on reducing mortality, extending lifespan and improving the quality of life. We are again facing the threat of infectious epidemics in this era of advancing globalisation, climate crisis and population migratory movements. These predictions were confirmed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Intensive work of many research centres has led to a rapid development of an innovative mRNA vaccine against this clinical entity. These vaccines act by introducing an mRNA template into the host cell to stimulate antigen synthesis in vivo. Once again, science has succeeded in limiting the spread of a disease, which was a historic breakthrough. This paper presents a historical outline of the stages of the development of vaccinology leading to the modern concept and technology of vaccine production.
Ingrown toenail – an update of knowledge and a proposal of a novel treatment approach
Authors:   Podology Clinic, Warsaw, Poland, Brychcy Adrian , Kopaczewska Ewa ,   Podology Clinic, Warsaw, Poland, Kołodziejski Paweł ,   Podology Clinic, Warsaw, Poland, Bryłka Krzysztof ,   Podology Clinic, Warsaw, Poland

Ingrown toenail is one of the most common foot health problems, which is the reason for frequent paediatric, surgical, family medicine and podology appointments. The problem most often affects schoolchildren and young adults, with incorrect hygiene habits and improper care typically considered its causes. The disorder is usually managed in a surgical clinic, with a wedge-shaped undercutting of the nail plate or, in advanced cases, total nail avulsion, being the most common treatment approaches. However, these techniques are characterised by poor efficacy and high recurrence rates, and often lead to further complications, as well as permanent deformations of the nail plate. Therefore, we propose an alternative approach to the problem of ingrown toenails and present a causative surgical method. This technique consists in soft tissue plasty to reduce the prominence of nail folds followed by adaptation of healthy tissues with the use of skin sutures to the shape and dimensions of the nail plate. Since the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, the treatment can be performed in an outpatient setting. Nail fold plasty allows for effective and permanent resolution of ingrown toenail symptoms, however, it requires strict compliance with postoperative recommendations, which mainly focus on proper care. The lack of interference in the structure of the nail matrix and plate minimises the risk of complications, permanent deformations of the nail apparatus and allows for maintaining the full width of the nail plate.
The effect of phototherapy on neonatal calcium and bilirubin levels: a comparison between patients with low and normal G6PD levels
Authors:   Zabol University of Medical Sciences, Zabol, Iran, Sheikh Mahboobeh , Ostadrahimi Pouya ,   Zabol University of Medical Sciences, Zabol, Iran
Published: July 2023

Introduction: Iran is among countries that report a higher prevalence of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, ranging from 2.28% to 30.80%. This study aimed to estimate the general prevalence of G6PD deficiency in newborns with jaundice who were hospitalised in southeast Iran. Methods: This was a prospective study. A total of 100 newborns (boys and girls) with hyperbilirubinaemia, presented to Amir Al-Mo’menin Hospital in 2006 and 2007, were selected for the study. Age, gender, weight, time of jaundice, the maximum level of direct bilirubin, and the total level of bilirubin among the newborns were recorded, and the data were analysed by SPSS. Results: A total of 100 jaundice neonates, including 46 girls and 54 boys, were enrolled. Twenty-two percent of these patients, including 18 (82%) boys and 4 (18%) girls, showed low levels of G6PD. The overall mean bilirubin level was 15.45 ± 3.43 mg/dL among neonates with low G6PD levels, while it was 19.21 ± 3.34 mg/dL in patients with normal G6PD levels, which showed a significant difference (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The prevalence of G6PD deficiency in neonates with jaundice in our study was 22%, which was higher compared to other regions. We propose G6PD deficiency screening for the prevention of its complications. We also suggest assessing calcium levels following phototherapy, given the higher prevalence of hypocalcaemia.

Published: July 2023

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has changed the lives of millions of people worldwide, including the lives of healthcare workers. The aim of this study was to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the quality of life, financial implications, and fear of COVID-19 among otorhinolaryngologists in Malaysia at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted for a period of one week from 1 to 7 June 2021 using the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) Financial Well-Being Scale and Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) available at a link sent to potential participants. The study’s target participants were otorhinolaryngology specialists residing and working in Malaysia. Results: A total of 115 participants completed the survey. The majority of them were of the Malay (51.3%) race, of Malaysian (99.1%) nationality, and predominantly female. Most of the respondents were 20–40 years old, working in public hospitals (46.1%). The mean WHOQOL-BREF scores for the physical domain, psychological domain, social domain, and environmental domain were 54.64 ± 12.93, 53.79 ± 11.09, 72.70 ± 20.74, and 67.22 ± 16.32, respectively. The mean CFPB and FVC-19S scores were 54.57 ± 8.47 and 19.13 ± 6.04, respectively. A significant difference between the participants with different lengths of professional experience was observed in the social relationship domain (p = 0.011) and the financial well-being score (p = 0.004). Participants with more than ten years of professional experience had the highest CFPD score (mean ± SD: 58.07 ± 8.65). Conclusion: COVID-19 has affected various domains of the quality of life, financial stability, and fear of COVID-19 across the various groups of otorhinolaryngologists in Malaysia. The findings of this survey identify negative effects and help to plan various strategies to address the issue.

Published: July 2023

Background: Bruck syndrome is a very rare genetic disorder that combines features of congenital bone fragility and arthrogryposis. It is characterised by osteoporosis, increased susceptibility to bone fractures, progressive joint contractures, and short stature, among other features. Bruck syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, and the mutation affects mainly the gene located on chromosome 17p12 (FKBP10 gene). Case presentation: The authors present the first description of an 18-month-old Polish boy diagnosed with Bruck syndrome. The management includes making a correct diagnosis based on the clinical picture, phenotypic features, and additional laboratory and imaging examinations. In the discussion, the authors touched upon the available treatment modalities and the differentiation of Bruck syndrome with similar diseases. Conclusions: Understanding the clinical spectrum of Bruck syndrome and providing appropriate medical interventions in the early stages of the disease enables the implementation of appropriate treatment and rehabilitation.

Aim: The aim of this case presentation was to highlight the importance of the awareness of two different coexisting pathologies, as well as emphasise that early diagnosis and prompt management are essential to manage pemphigus vulgaris. Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare, life-threatening autoimmune disease characterised by the presence of blisters on the surface of oral mucosa caused by antibodies against adhesion molecules on the cell surface of keratinocytes. Coexistence with various conditions, notably herpes simplex virus, is noteworthy. Case report: We report a case of a middle-aged female who presented with non-healing oral ulceration that turned out to be herpes simplex virus, consequently triggering pemphigus vulgaris. Histopathology and immunofluorescence were suggestive of pemphigus vulgaris, but immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction were indicative of herpes simplex virus infection. Conclusion: The coexistence of a viral infection with pemphigus vulgaris poses a therapeutic challenge.
Representations of gender and sexual orientation over three editions of a Japanese language learning textbook series
Authors: Yoshida Maki
Published: July 2023

This study analyses a popular commercial textbook series for learning Japanese as a second or foreign language (JSL/JFL) and investigates how its textual and visual representations of gender and sexual orientation have changed over the three editions published over the last 20 years. Examining the interplay of text and images, the longitudinal analysis reveals that heteronormative representations remain dominant across the three editions, while observing some changes in representation over time. For instance, derogatory depictions of LGBTQ+ people have been removed and – albeit limited – representations that give consideration to gender and sexual diversity have been incorporated. Such changing representations indicate how language, gender and sexuality ideologies in Japanese society intersect with the globalised contexts of JSL/JFL, and suggest that stratified ideological values regarding gender and sexuality are enmeshed with the commercial viability of textbook publishers.

Impact of Trade and Capital Openness on the Government Size of Russia
Authors:   Pandit Deendayal Energy University, Gujarat, India, Mehta Dhyani
Published: July 2023

Relevance: With Russia's economy and trade growing significantly since 2014, there is a need to examine the impact of economic openness on government expenditure, given the country's fiscal and trade reforms. Research Objective: This study aims to measure the impact of economic openness on government expenditure (government size) by categorizing it into trade and capital openness. The Auto Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is used to measure the long-run and short-run impact of economic openness on government size. Data and Methods: Annual time series data from the World Bank Open Data on World Development Indicators (WDI) from 1997 to 2021 is used. The study examines the relationship between government expenditure, trade openness, and capital openness. Results: The findings show that higher trade openness leads to a significant increase in government size, while more capital openness results in a reduction in the size of the government. The study also highlights the impact of current account deficits and national income on government size, with liberal trade policies leading to a widening current account deficit. The positive correlation between national income and government size supports Wagner's Law of "Increasing State Activity." Conclusion: The study suggests that policymakers should adopt a careful approach to liberal policies that encourage trade and capital openness, as an overly liberalized approach could harm macroeconomic factors such as fiscal and current account balances. The study also underscores the challenges that nations like Russia face when entering the global markets for goods beyond oil exports.

Authors:   Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation, Lu Jia Jin , Ruzhanskaya Liudmila S. ,   Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation
Published: July 2023

Relevance: The need to find new sources of growth and structural development in old industrial regions has led to the growing interest in entrepreneurship and the requirements for fostering small and medium-sized businesses. Given the priorities of the Russian migration policy and the substantial number of migrants from China, it becomes evident that this demographic group holds significant importance for the country’s regional development. Research Objective: This study aims to identify the motivations and constraints of Chinese migrants involved in business activities in Sverdlovsk region. The research relied on questionnaires and supplemented them with in-depth interviews. The authors investigated 35 migrant companies across various industries and sizes, representing over 5% of all entrepreneurs in the region from 2016 to 2022. Between January and December 2022, six in-depth interviews were conducted with Chinese entrepreneurs who had been working in Sverdlovsk for 1 to 15 years. The study also uses data from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation and the Unified Register of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses, which encompassed 638 entrepreneurs and 721 companies owned by Chinese migrants operating in the region from 2016 to 2022. Results: Chinese migrants are driven to engage in business activities in the Sverdlovsk region due to its expansive regional market, growth opportunities, and potential for high profits. However, they face barriers such as cross-cultural communication challenges, limited government support, and regulatory burdens. Conclusion: To support migrant entrepreneurs, regional state regulators should simplify documentation processes, offer legal services or advice, include foreign entrepreneurs in government support policies, and establish effective communication channels. These actions will create a conducive environment for entrepreneurship and business development in the region.
Funding the Higher Education System: International Experience and Russian Practice
Authors:   Ural Federal University, Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation, Sudakova Anastasia E. , Dahel Dahel Mustafa Saleh ,   Al-Furat Al-Awsat Technical University, Najaf, Iraq
Published: July 2023

Relevance. Education is a significant factor in economic growth. However, the discussion about the principles for distributing higher education funding is still open, and the cases of individual countries are not sufficiently covered in research literature. Research objective. The study aims to determine the principles of financing based on the case studies of Russian universities. Foreign financing mechanisms are analyzed and compared with Russian practice that has similar foundations. Financing mechanisms are classified according to their distribution principle. Data and methods. The statistical base for the study is the data of a large-scale higher education monitoring project of 2019-2021. The study was conducted in more than 650 Russian universities. In order to determine the principles of financing, a correlation analysis is carried out to identify the correlation between the indicators. Universities are grouped by regions with different socio-economic characteristics, subgroups of universities within the regional division were identified. Results. The distribution of funding among Russian universities is based on the principles of quasi-competition and equalization. Universities located in regions with low indicators of socio-economic development are mainly financed to achieve equalization of educational activities, and, as the socio-economic situation in the region improves, funding is channeled into equalization of research activities. Another more obvious conclusion is that research activities of universities that participate in state programs are funded based on competition, while other universities have lower correlation between indicators, which leads us to the assumption that other universities’ research activities are funded based on the principles of equalization. Conclusions. The novelty of the study is the results that enrich the understanding of the principles for funding distribution in the Russian higher education system. Contrary to most studies of the concentration of resources around a limited number of institutions, the study concludes that resources and funding are distributed based on equalization, supporting the less competitive units of the system, and directing funding to regions with less stable socio-economic characteristics.

Abstract This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Brazilian version of the Multidimensional Sportspersonship Orientations Scale (MSOS). The cross-cultural adaptation committee was composed of three experts. Our validation sample consisted of 643 athletes from individual and team sports. The results showed clear and relevant content validation and satisfactory internal consistency of the items in the Portuguese version. EFA suggested the exclusion of nine items and the retention of four factors. The CFA analysis with 16 items showed satisfactory adjustment of the model [X²/df = 2.70; CFI = 0.928; TLI = 0.911, RMSEA = 0.05]. The 16-item scale had adequate reliability (> 0.70). It was concluded that the Brazilian version of MSOS showed acceptable psychometric properties.
Vitality of mycobionts and photobionts after passing through the digestive tract of Constrictotermes cyphergaster (Isoptera) workers
Authors: Barbosa-Silva A. M. , Vasconcellos A. , Buril M. L. L.
Published: July 2023

Abstract Termites are among the insects that consume lichens and may be potential dispersers of these symbionts. This study evaluated the vitality of photobionts and mycobionts after passing through the digestive tract of Constrictotermes cyphergaster. The percentage of live and dead algae was verified throughout the alimentary canal of 450 workers, originating from five sampled colonies in the Caatinga Dry Forest, NE, Brazil. A progressive growth in algae mortality was observed in the crop, paunch and rectum, however more than 40% of the algae found in faeces presented signs of vitality. Photobiont morphology was different between cells extracted from thallus in natura and algae present in termite faeces. The photobiont cells presented more shrunken cytoplasms after passing through the alimentary canal of C. cyphergaster. There was also an increase between the cell wall space and the cytoplasm membrane of algae found in the termite faecal pellets. Only four broken spores were found in the intestine, which made the vitality analysis unfeasible for these cells. The record of photobiont vitality in termite faecal pellets is indicative of endozoochoric dispersal, suggesting that this relationship between insects and lichens extends beyond a trophic interaction.
Determination of thiamethoxam residues and dissipation kinetic in tomato plants and its efficacy against Bemisia tabaci under open field eco system

Published: July 2023

Abstract Whitefly, Bemisia tabaci cause important losses for many crops especially tomato, therefore farmers often use many chemical insecticides which had dangerous side effects on human beings and environment, thus there are need to determine the residues of these chemicals in plant . The dissipation of thiamethoxam in tomato leaves and fruits followed the first order kinetics; Half-lives were 2.91 and 3.15 days for fruits and leaves, respectively. The residues of thiamethoxam were determined using a QuEChERS method with HPLC-DAD and it was 0.14 mg/ kg in fruits after 7 days of treatment and less than the maximum residue limit (MRL 0.2 mg/kg. The residue in leaves was more than in fruits. Seedlings produced from treated seeds were more resistant to different stages of the whitefly population and protect tomato plants from whitefly infestation for 6-10 weeks after transplanting. The three sprays of thiamethoxam increased the reduction percentage of B. tabaci stages and the highest increase was recorded after the third spray in egg, nymph, and adult stages. It could be recommend that Thiamethoxam is considered an unconventional insecticide appropriate for B. tabaci control and safe for humans and the environment.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the perception of patients and health professionals regarding patients’ participation in surgical site infection prevention. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in two hospitals in the city of São Paulo, with a convenience sample of 123 patients in the postoperative period of elective surgeries and 92 health professionals (physicians and nurses) acting in direct care of surgical patients. Results: Patients (78.9%) and professionals (79.4%) fully agreed with the importance of patient participation to prevent surgical site infection. The impact of patient participation on infection rates was significant for those undergoing previous surgery (p = 0.021). Patients and professionals disagreed about the best time to prepare the patient about the topic (p<0.001). The participation strategies considered most effective by patients and professionals were, respectively, oral presentation (47.2% and 75%), videos (40.7% and 58.7%) and leaflets (30.9% and 58.7%). Conclusion: Patients and health professionals believe that patient participation in surgical site infection prevention is important.
Crise, queda da taxa de lucro e a política social no capitalismo
Authors: Oliveira Ednéia Alves de
Published: July 2023

Resumo Este artigo é resultado de uma pesquisa descritiva, teórica e documental sobre crise do capital, queda tendencial da taxa de lucro e a relação com as políticas sociais. Objetiva-se elucidar como as políticas sociais, em determinados períodos da história, são estratégias para alavancar as taxas de lucro, seja na sua ampliação, como ocorreu após a crise de 1929, seja na sua retração, como ocorreu na crise de 1970 em diante. A metodologia utilizada consistiu em revisão bibliográfica e análise documental sobre o tema proposto, recorrendo a algumas categorias marxianas como queda tendencial da taxa de lucro, acumulação e crise. Os resultados obtidos nos permitem considerar que as políticas sociais têm desempenhado papel relevante na recuperação das taxas de lucro do capital, servindo como um mecanismo para responder aos processos de crise, retomar o crescimento econômico e garantir a sobrevivência do modo de produção capitalista.

Published: July 2023

Resumo Neste estudo, analisaram-se os significados dos problemas mentais na infância, segundo um grupo de profissionais de duas unidades de saúde da família (USF), destacando-se quem olha, o que se olha e como se olham esses problemas. Realizou-se pesquisa etnográfica, privilegiando-se entrevistas com roteiro semiestruturado com oito profissionais das duas USF, buscando revelar os “modelos nativos” sobre esses problemas. Os problemas mentais na infância eram identificados pelos profissionais, pais, vizinhos, professores, destacando-se o olhar de adultos. Agitação, agressividade, problemas na escola ou em casa, foram queixas classificadoras de uma criança normal ou anormal. Recorriam a profissionais especializados, outras instituições e serviços de saúde para o tratamento às crianças. Para os entrevistados, os problemas mentais na infância estão vinculados a questões familiares, principalmente como causa desses problemas. A complexidade desses problemas, envolvendo aspectos socioculturais, evidencia a importância de construção de práticas fundamentadas no conhecimento interdisciplinar, como incorporado nas políticas de saúde mental infantil e que tem contribuído ao fortalecimento e supressão de lacunas existentes na assistência às crianças, buscando abarcar a complexidade de suas experiências de sofrimento, associadas a situações de vida marcadas pela vulnerabilidade e precariedades sociais, reconhecendo-se crianças como sujeitos dessas políticas.
Relatar a si mesmo: fragmentos da constituição de subjetividades aletúrgicas no campo educacional
Authors: Borges Clayton Cesar de Oliveira , Neira Marcos Garcia
Published: July 2023

RESUMO O presente artigo devota-se a examinar as relações entre sujeito e verdade mediadas por tecnologias pedagógicas de governo do eu. Na esteira de tal horizonte e adotando o gesto arquivístico e a atitude crítica foucaultiana como leitmotiv analítico, delineiam-se inicialmente alguns traços histórico-discursivos da constituição de registros das ações didáticas na esfera educacional. Em seguida, tomando como fio condutor a noção de aleturgia — desenvolvida por Foucault no curso Do governo dos vivos — e a partir da analítica de relatos de experiências didáticas de uma pedagogia do presente em particular, busca-se sustentar a ideia de que os sujeitos docentes afiliados à pedagogia em pauta estão vinculados a uma forma aletúrgica, tornando-se governáveis precisamente em função desse engajamento com a verdade, legitimando-a em si mesmos e por si mesmos.
Desenho teórico-metodológico da escrita comparada: produção intelectual de crítica sobre a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (2017 a 2019)
Authors: Silva Fabiany de Cássia Tavares
Published: July 2023

RESUMO Este texto expõe os percursos de construção metodológica e fundamentação teórica da escrita comparada, de um lado, aproximada do sentido mais amplo da linguagem, isto é, o autor e o leitor crítico no sentido dos discursos; de outro, orientada pela comparação, no sentido metodológico. Para tanto, trabalha com parte da produção intelectual de crítica eleita sobre a Base Nacional Comum Curricular, de 2017, para inventariar a diversidade temática, teórica, metodológica e política pelas quais os autores registram suas indagações, apontam discussões e fixam metas de análise, o que per se constitui empreendimento complexo. Diante disso, escreve críticas capazes de decodificar a produção de sentido para/no campo curricular, vinculada a uma economia das trocas simbólicas, caracterizada por uma lógica regida pelas condições sociais de produção, que respondem à eficácia simbólica da comunicação escolar.
Theoretical-methodological design of comparative writing: intellectual critical production on the Common National Curriculum Base (2017 to 2019)
Authors: Silva Fabiany de Cássia Tavares
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACT This text exposes the paths of methodological construction and theoretical foundation of comparative writing, on the one hand, closer to the broader sense of language, that is, the author and the critical reader in the sense of the discourses; on the other, oriented by comparison, in the methodological sense. To this end, it works with part of the intellectual production of critics elected on the Common National Curriculum Base, of 2017, to inventory the thematic, theoretical, methodological, and political diversity through which the authors register their inquiries, point out discussions and set analysis goals, which per se constitutes a complex undertaking. In view of this, he writes critiques capable of decoding the production of meaning for/in the curricular field, linked to an economy of symbolic exchanges, characterized by a logic governed by the social conditions of production, which respond to the symbolic effectiveness of school communication.
Conceções e práticas de ensino-aprendizagem: desenvolvimento de quatro dimensões com relevância teórica e empírica
Authors: Ferreira Marco Paulo Maia
Published: July 2023

RESUMO Em Portugal, não existem instrumentos com qualidades métricas confirmadas que relacionem as conceções de ensino-aprendizagem com as práticas pedagógicas. Nesse sentido, elaborou-se um questionário sobre conceções e práticas de ensino-aprendizagem. A validade de conteúdo foi efetuada por dez peritos e o questionário foi aplicado a 294 professores dos ensinos básico e secundário com variáveis demográficas diversificadas. A fiabilidade foi confirmada pela consistência interna e estabilidade temporal (teste-reteste), e uma análise fatorial exploratória revelou quatro fatores/dimensões que explicam 54,4% da variância total. As quatro dimensões enfatizam dois tipos de conceção de ensino-aprendizagem, uma mais compreensiva e colaborativa e outra mais sistemática e convencional; e dois tipos de práticas pedagógicas, uma mais inclusiva e outra mais conservadora. A relação entre conceções e práticas de ensino-aprendizagem destacada pelo questionário pode contribuir para ajustar processos de formação dos professores.
Desafíos de las políticas educativas con acceso abierto en las universidades nacionales de Venezuela
Authors: Aguirre Uriel Jose Castellanos , Pretto Nelson De Luca
Published: July 2023

RESUMEN El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las influencias de documentos, organismos y agencias internacionales en las políticas educativas relacionadas con las universidades nacionales de Venezuela en la perspectiva del Acceso Abierto. Para ello, se utilizó el apoyo del abordaje denominado “Ciclo de las Políticas”, que presenta los contextos de “influencia”, “producción de los textos”, “la práctica”, “los resultados/efectos” y “estrategias políticas”. Se concluye que Venezuela desarrolló políticas públicas sólidas para un gobierno digital con acceso abierto relacionado directamente a la Declaración de Budapest, en donde las universidades nacionales, pese a sus políticas tradicionales, se adecuaron, en mayor o menor medida, a disponer los datos. Finalmente, se percibe que una educación basada en el Acceso Abierto es fundamental, ya que, a partir de ello, es posible acceder, usar, copiar, modificar o distribuir el conocimiento.
Perspectivas de [re] articulação no Sistema Municipal de Ensino de Cachoeira do Sul (RS)
Authors: Zinn Carla da Luz , Lunardi Elisiane Machado
Published: July 2023

RESUMO Este texto discute o Sistema Municipal de Ensino de Cachoeira do Sul (RS), com o objetivo de compreender os processos de [re] articulação do sistema na perspectiva de contribuir para o fortalecimento e a qualidade da gestão educacional democrática. Assim, a metodologia foi ancorada na abordagem qualitativa, com estudo de caso no Sistema Municipal de Ensino de Cachoeira do Sul (RS). Para a construção e análise dos dados, foram utilizadas entrevistas e questionários semiestruturados. As análises evidenciam que, para ocorrer um movimento de [re] articulação, é necessário sinergia entre os órgãos e as instituições de ensino. É preciso que a Secretaria Municipal de Educação, o Conselho Municipal de Educação e as escolas atuem de forma articulada com os objetivos da educação municipal. Com isso, são apontados indicadores de qualidade e o Observatório da Educação Municipal de Cachoeira do Sul como perspectivas de [re] articulação e fortalecimento do Sistema Municipal de Ensino.
A perspectiva Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade no contexto da educação tecnológica e politécnica: primeiras aproximações teóricas
Authors: Pelissari Lucas Barbosa
Published: July 2023

RESUMO O objetivo do presente ensaio é analisar possíveis relações entre a noção de educação tecnológica, tal como desenvolvida no contexto brasileiro, e a perspectiva Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade, apresentando aproximações preliminares a um problema de dimensões prática, teórica e conceitual. A partir da definição de dualidade estrutural da educação, o texto levanta a necessidade de que o tema seja situado na realidade social concreta dos contextos escolares. No caso específico, trata-se das formações sociais latino-americanas e sua condição de dependência econômica, científica e cultural. Como conclusão, apresenta-se a tese segundo a qual o conceito de educação politécnica é uma mediação possível entre o campo educacional e a epistemologia Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade. Tal mediação é capaz de ressaltar o compromisso ético-político da educação tecnológica, baseando-se em três elementos: crítica à neutralidade da ciência; vínculo com o conceito de trabalho; e auto-organização da comunidade escolar.

Published: July 2023

Resumo Este estudo teve por objetivo identificar a percepção dos coordenadores de curso de graduação quanto às estratégias contributivas para melhorias dos indicadores no Enade. Para tal, foi aplicada uma survey a 110 coordenadores de cursos de graduação de instituições de ensino superior (IES). Os dados coletados foram analisados a partir das técnicas da estatística descritiva e cálculo de entropia da informação. Quanto aos resultados, em relação ao nível de importância atribuído aos indicadores, constatou-se relevante importância atribuída pelos respondentes aos indicadores propostos. Todos os indicadores foram considerados pela maioria dos respondentes como muito importantes, de forma que as médias apresentadas foram superiores a quatro pontos. Em relação ao nível de execução, observou-se níveis inferiores de importância, entretanto, as médias apuradas mostram níveis satisfatórios de execução. Conclui-se que, o modelo de indicadores proposto foi validado pelos coordenadores servindo de base para a gestão dos cursos.
Definição de engajamento estudantil no ensino superior: um estudo bibliométrico
Authors: Oliveira Edison Trombeta de , Caldini Carolina , Coutinho Camila Caldini
Published: July 2023

Resumo O propósito principal deste artigo consiste em fornecer uma ampla variedade de visões e perspectivas a respeito do engajamento estudantil no ensino superior, explorando suas múltiplas possibilidades e os desafios enfrentados pelos alunos ao longo de sua trajetória acadêmica. Assim, com o intuito de realizar uma pesquisa completa e abrangente, realizou-se uma análise bibliométrica na extensa base de dados da SciELO - Scientific Electronic Library Online, com o objetivo de localizar publicações pertinentes ao tema em questão. Desse modo, a partir da seleção criteriosa de 24 artigos, foi possível identificar uma ampla gama de aspectos englobados pelo conceito de “engajamento estudantil”, conglomerando não apenas elementos comportamentais, mas também emocionais e cognitivos. Adicionalmente, percebeu-se que esse termo apresenta características distintas e peculiares, que merecem atenção especial. Ademais, é relevante ressaltar que os artigos analisados não evidenciaram uma correlação clara entre o engajamento e o processo de aprendizagem, o que abre caminho para futuras pesquisas e investigações nesse âmbito.
