The Image of Peter I in a Mythological Context
Authors:   Saratov State University, Artamonov Denis , Yasakova Galina ,   Saratov State University
Published: March 2022

Within this study, the authors make an attempt to consider the image of Peter I, one of the most difficult to analyze, through the prism of interpretation and myth formation. The mythological image of Peter the Great has been formed over three centuries, reflecting both the vicissitudes of all historical epochs, including modernity, and various layers of culture and art. For a long time taking into account, that the beginning of the mythologization of the image of Peter I dates back to the era of his reign, society perceived his image in accordance with the requirements of its era, and sought to reflect its own interpretation of his personality and activities. The ways of perceiving the image of Peter I were influenced by socio-philosophical, socio-cultural and political attitudes of society, as well as ideas about the historical personality. The paper suggests that the myth-image moving away from its original true image (the historical personality of Peter I), generates new reflections that may contradict both its prototype and subsequent reflections. The complexity of the mythological image of Peter I is stipulated by the combination of features of historical mythology and reality in it, which, in turn, reflected in oral or written representation, have a close connection with historical and social memory. The authors come to the conclusion that the process of mythologizing Peter the Great, while maintaining a certain objectivity, is also carried out in metaphysical holistic knowledge when justifying the exclusivity of the appearance of such a ruler in Russian history, whose mythological image is used in the formation of a sense of integrity and unity of perception of the myth, based on the feeling and experience of the individual.
Prospects for the Convergence of Religious and Gaming Activities in the Post-Secular Era
Authors:   Volgograd State University, Javorskiy Dmitriy
Published: March 2022

The article explores the relationship between religion and play as two types of activity. The relevance of this comparison is dictated by the fact that a playful attitude to religion is fraught with conflict situations, since under certain conditions it borders on sacrilege, "insulting the feelings of believers". The author of the article proceeds from the fact that in order to clarify the boundaries and areas of intersection of religion and the game, it is advisable to clarify the concept of religion. The "classical" concept of religion, as shown by a whole series of religious studies and historical studies, is essentially Christian-centered, therefore, in order to enter a broader subject field, it requires revision. An appeal to anthropology and the history of religion shows that religious practices do not exclude, in principle, a gaming relationship. Moreover, in some historically and anthropologically fixed religions, the game is an integral part of the relationship to the superhuman world of gods and spirits. Even in the Christian tradition, remnants of the game component of religious practices remain, for example, in the form of carnivals. The author comes to the conclusion that the separation of religion from the game occurs only in Modern times, when the very concept of religion becomes clearer, and religion in scientific, political and legal discourse is separated from other activities (science, politics, art, economics, etc.). Therefore, paradoxical as it may seem at first glance, the separation of the game and religion is a side effect of secularization. The postsecular situation allows for the convergence of religion and games in a variety of forms: in the cultural and historical reconstruction of "neo-paganism", in the parody practices of "Pastafarianism", in the form of cosplay "Jedi", etc. The blurring of the boundary between religion and play in modern culture is facilitated by aesthetic practices that cultivate the so-called "post-irony" is a special communicative state in which participants are not able to accurately determine the pragmatic status of messages sent and received, and it is this discrepancy in interpretations that generates conflict situations, the theoretical understanding of which is devoted to the article.
Non-Church Religious Majority As a Problem of the Modern Orthodox Church: Socio-Philosophical Aspect
Authors:   Center for Training Church Specialists of the Volgograd Eparchy, Patrin Vyacheslav
Published: March 2022

The article is devoted to the actual problem for the Russian Orthodox Church related to the new phenomenon in the history of the Church – the non-church religious majority consisting of people baptized in the Orthodox Church but practically not identifying themselves with the Church and even opposing themselves to it. This phenomenon characterizes our society as post-secular which religiosity was separated from the main religious institutions and became an individual project that everyone realizes independently, using what traditional religious institutions give, for example Baptism, but maintaining from them independence and distance. The actual strategy of the Russian Orthodox Church in the interaction with the state and society is traditionally focused on the idea of a symphony of powers of the state and the church but this strategy is ineffective in interaction with society. The reason is the non-church nature of the religious majority and also the absence of the expected socially significant activity of the Church that people would be ready to identify with. The internal mission of Church for the baptized people is oriented towards the knowledge-based approach and fits as such into the post-secular model of religiosity. The activity-oriented approach can change the situation. It requires socially significant activity from the Church and involving people into it. This will be a return to the ancient practice of the Church, when the life of a Christian was associated with serving his neighbor. Such activities will make it possible to actualize the Christian teaching in the modern anthropological and social situation, will reveal the essence of the Christian idea of ontological transcending, which consists not in avoiding people, but in communication, and will allow the Church to carry out its mission in the post-secular space as a socially significant institution.
The Space-Time Continuum in the Postmodern Paradigm: J. Deleuze (1926–1995)
Authors:   Kazan Law Institute of Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Sirotkin Yuri
Published: March 2022

According to the author, J. Deleuze enriches the postmodern paradigm of space-time continuum analysis with original ideas about space, time, and duration (extension) as properties of the world. Psychologism in the interpretation of time-space is indicated. Time is interpreted as a relation, the sign of which is becoming. Attention is drawn to the fact that processality is provided by eventfulness; events have specific differences and act as neutral singularities that form history. It is noted that time is personal and events as signs and relationships are actualized in the time of the ego. The article reveals Deleuze's rationale for two times: one – present, the other – past and future; one – cyclical, the other – linear (the time of Chronos and the time of EON). It is emphasized that the present is an elusive being of the mind; it is the field of action of historical individuality, which is characterized by an infinity of analytical or synthetic propositions that are self-determined in space-time. The synthesis of time rests on habit, which is the basis of the passing present. Justifies the time memory. It is argued that the present for Deleuze is a simulacrum present in appearances; it dissolves in the past and future. The author reveals the philosopher's conviction in the subjectivity of time, which asserts the priority of the present as existing. The unconscious ends the history of time, shifting the center and periphery, which cease to exist. The influence of depth and distance on the perception of space is noted; time is perceived as an axis, as a form of mental activity, as a bundle of "I" and "My I", as an Affect. The dependence of individual perception on national and cultural affiliation was found. Attention is drawn to the incorporation of time - space into the spiritual world of man. The conclusion is made about the anthropological nature of the space-time continuum in Deleuze's epistemological constructions. Space-time is analyzed through the concepts that form the basis of Deleuze's philosophical discourse, as an attempt to go beyond the established ideas about the space-time continuum.
Groundlessness As a Constitutive Problem of “Big Science”
Authors:   Volgograd State Agrarian University, Shadrina Larisa , Roslyakova Zhanna ,   Volgograd State Agrarian University
Published: March 2022

The article deals with the problem of the groundlessness of modern scientific knowledge. This problem is investigated in a broad historical and philosophical context: starting from the transcendentalist philosophy of I. Kant, which establishes a fixed boundary between the cognizable object and the cognizing subject, then through the absolute idealism of G. Hegel dialectically removing the line between the finite forms of human thinking and the infinite being of the absolute spirit, and up to the phenomenology of E. Husserl, looking for a solid support of rational knowledge in the a priori structures of human consciousness. The authors also pay attention to other philosophical attempts to solve the problem of the foundation of knowledge. The authors refer to the ontological epistemologies developed by M. Heidegger and S.L. Frank. The researchers emphasize that the principle of transrational unity of opposites developed by Frank allows him to overcome the long-standing epistemological dualism of intuitively irrational and rational principles and not detract from the importance of private scientific knowledge. The article reflects the authors' opinion, that the combination of holistic and personalistic methodological approaches opens up a theoretical possibility not to dissolve a free and creative human personality in the whole being. Raising the question of the correlation of scientific knowledge and religious-metaphysical experience, the only one capable of giving science a solid foundation, the authors turn to the project of "sacred" science by R. Guenon, in which science finds its grounds in a metaphysical doctrine containing absolute intuitively comprehended principles. The concept of "spiritual science" by Guenon is compared with the concept of "living experience" of cognition, developed in the space of the Russian religious-metaphysical paradigm. The essential difference between the two concepts is seen in the interpretation of intellectual intuition. As evidence of the deep crisis of the modern scientific paradigm, which has lost its religious and metaphysical basis, the authors turn to the meta-scientific discourse of modern Western scientists, which is a kind of hybrid of science and theology. It is concluded that nothing else can save the scientific mind from groundlessness, but faith in the revealed Truth, which is not justified by reason.
Transformation of Local Privacy in European Culture
Authors:   Dostoevsky Omsk State University, Chesnokova Lesya
Published: March 2022

The author examines the changes in the local aspect of privacy in European culture. The research is based on the concept of privacy studies, which is actively developing in Western humanities examining the question of how the boundaries between private and public space affect the relationship between a person and society in various socio-cultural contexts. Privacy studies act as an integrative discipline combining research in the field of philosophical and cultural anthropology, sociology of culture, social and cultural history and other human sciences. In this article, the author makes an attempt to trace how changes occur in society consciousness what have expands the boundaries of local privacy, and how they are related to such philosophical categories as freedom, individualism, human dignity, which have been developed in Modern European society. It is argued that there is a reciprocal relationship between the need for a private space and respect for human individuality. In the pre-industrial era the human did not exist as an independent individual, but was included in the family community. The boundaries between public and private life were unclear. The house performed many functions: it provided its residents with physical and social protection, shelter and food, education and work. There was no differentiation of premises by functional purpose, there was no division into the sphere of labor and the sphere of leisure, a rigid separation of male and female activities. In the era of Modernity, changes associated with industrialization and urbanization begin to occur in society. Individualism is developing, which has become the socio-cultural foundation of privacy. The house loses some of its former functions and turns into a private space of a small family based on love and care. There is a differentiation of living spaces, the need for privacy and comfort is growing. Now a woman does not participate in productive work, dealing exclusively with the home and raising children, which is understood as her natural destiny. If in the 19th century private space existed only among the affluent strata, then in the 20th century, along with the growth of well-being, large segments of the population can afford separate housing. In the 21st century, with the advent of the era of globalization, people often change their homes in search of work. The development of Internet technologies blurs the boundaries of local privacy.
Once were Stories
Authors: Moonga Nsamu Urgent
Published: March 2022

Each culture appears to have the phenomenon of storytelling. In some cultures, storytelling has taken the form of writing. While writing is an amiable enterprise, freely spoken stories have an import that cannot be capture in words on a piece of paper with ink. In most traditional Africa, we are faced with a clash of cultures, evidently resulting from the continent's colonisation. We sit with the push for literary advancement. Academic advancement has added permanence to some of our folklore. What we lose in such progress is the plasticity of artful storytelling. While Africa is as such striding towards physical archiving of stories in books partly due to rapid urbanisation and social changes, most of the continental culture continue to gather around a fire for tales that answer mystical questions of origin why we are here. The purpose of this paper is to honour those stories and story holders. Apart from situating myth and story, this paper is a pure celebration of my heritage. I am celebrating the interrelation of music and musical tales. My early initiation into musical legends influences how I encounter music therapy as folklore. If music therapy were folklorist in Africa and similar cultures, participants would benefit from more than the medicalisation of music, but the imaginal's swell provides sound grounding for all being.

Authors: Fekete Zsófia , Eckhardt Fanni
Published: March 2022

Aphasia choirs have been gaining more and more attention for the last decade. The operation of these are based on two pillars: the therapeutic effect of singing with aphasia and decreasing the social isolation of clients with a verbal language disorder. The aim of this article is to draw attention to the international community of these choirs, with special focus on the Hungarian Aphasia Choir, and show their challenges resulting from the restrictions imposed by the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The Hungarian Aphasia Choir has had their therapeutic rehearsals online for seven months. The participants’ experiences and their coping methods regarding online and offline choir sessions were examined by an online survey of five questions completed by thirteen choir members living with aphasia as well as some of their caregivers. The responses clearly show the choir members’ general desire to carry on offline rehearsals, while the results also demonstrate that online rehearsals are effective in decreasing social isolation.
Video-based Reflective Practice (VRP)
Authors: Jang Sekyung
Published: March 2022

Various forms of reflective practice, including journal writing and self-experiences, have been explored in music therapy. However, there is limited literature on practical methodologies that articulate how to reflect on sessions. The author introduces a practical methodology that guides the process of reflective practice in music therapy clinical training. The methodology includes self-observation through video-recorded sessions, a set of questions designed for self-assessment, evaluation of clinical situations of trainee identified areas, and identification of strengths, weaknesses, and future action plans. This framework has implications in music therapy education and training in that it (a) supports students and practicum supervisors with practical guidelines about how to reflect on sessions; (b) may facilitate student growth and development through self-directed learning and acknowledgement of strengths and working points; and (c) provides a cognitive framework that may help develop metacognition skills which are crucial components of learning during and post clinical training.

Published: March 2022

Alimentos ultraprocessados são marcadores de padrões alimentares não saudáveis e seu consumo é elevado entre os adolescentes. Características do ambiente alimentar escolar se associam a práticas alimentares de estudantes. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar a associação entre a presença de cantinas e a disponibilidade de alimentos ultraprocessados nas cantinas com o consumo destes alimentos, dentro da escola, entre adolescentes do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental das redes pública e particular do Município de São Paulo, Brasil. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com dados do SP-Proso, em amostra de 2.680 adolescentes. Foram feitos modelos de regressão linear multinível para avaliar as associações entre as exposições presença de cantinas nas escolas e disponibilidade de alimentos ultraprocessados com desfechos de frequência de consumo de ultraprocessados na escola. A presença de cantinas esteve associada à maior frequência de consumo de embutidos (0,46; IC95%: 0,24; 0,68), salgadinhos de pacote (0,50; IC95%: 0,19; 0,80), guloseimas (0,82; IC95%: 0,55; 1,09) e bebidas açucaradas (0,34; IC95%: 0,06; 0,62), bem como um escore de frequência de consumo de ultraprocessados (2,37; IC95%: 1,25; 3,48). A disponibilidade de salgadinhos de pacote, guloseimas e bebidas açucaradas nas cantinas aumentou a frequência de consumo desses alimentos. Foi observado um efeito dose/resposta entre a diversidade de ultraprocessados nas cantinas e a frequência de consumo destes alimentos. Um ambiente alimentar escolar com maior disponibilidade de ultraprocessados está associado ao maior consumo dos mesmos na escola, o que aponta para a necessidade de regulamentar o comércio de alimentos dentro destas instituições.

Published: March 2022

ABSTRACT Gerbera (Gerbera jamesonii Bolus ex Hook. F.; Asteraceae), is one of the most economically important ornamental plants due to its aesthetic value. In the present study, we established a micropropagation method for the large-scale production of quality planting material of gerbera ‘Pink Melody’. Eighty-six percent of the capitulum explants produced adventitious shoots (15.44 ± 0.34 shoots per capitulum) on Murashige and Skoogs (MS) medium containing 2 mg L−1 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) after six weeks of incubation. The highest shoot multiplication rate (17 shoots per explant) was obtained on MS medium supplemented with BAP and meta-Topolin (each at 2 mg L−1) after eight weeks. The micro-shoots were successfully rooted (91.35%) on half-strength MS medium containing 2 mg L−1 indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) within four weeks. The micropropagated plantlets were acclimatized with a 97.5% survival rate and produced flowers with no visible morphological aberrations.

Published: March 2022

Abstract Insects' ethology is an important factor when it is desired to carry out pest management. This knowledge makes it possible to manipulate behavioral activities, repel, or attract insects according to needs and interests. The maize weevil Sitophilus zeamais (Mots., 1855) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), one of the main stored grain pests, has been the target of studies of behavioral changes studies through natural substances due to its resistance to different insecticidal classes. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of sublethal concentrations of neem extract and copaiba oil on the locomotor behavior of S. zeamais. The behavioral characteristic considered were walking activity, the frequency of contact of insects with the treated grain mass, and the time spent for this behavior. The walking activity of the S. zeamais increased with exposure to Neem extract and Copaiba oil. In general, the Neem extract and Copaiba oil-induced more contact with grain mass than the control, suggesting an attractive effect on the insect, however more significant for the Neem oil. The insect's behavior was altered, presenting a specific path due to Copaiba oil and Neem extract stimuli. These results indicate that Copaiba oil and Neem extract can be a potential alternative for controlling S. zeamais on stored products since changes in this pests' behavior can reduce qualitative and quantitative grain damage. Thus, the development of products based on Copaiba oil and Neem extract may be helpful for storage pest management.
Preliminary assessment of weed population in vegetable and fruit farms of Taif, Saudi Arabia
Authors: Majrashi A. A.
Published: March 2022

Abstract A significant level of yield losses in the vegetable and fruit farms are attributed to the weed populations of the area. This study was conducted for eighteen months during 2019-2020 to assess the presence of various weed families, related species, and their densities in the vegetable (CROP A) and fruit (CROP B) farms of Taif, Saudi Arabia. During the study, fourteen and ten weed families were noted in the vegetable and fruit farms of the studied area, respectively. Poaceae family weeds (729) were significantly higher in numbers followed by the families Asteraceae (414), Chenopodiaceae (338), and Gisekiaceae (153). In the vegetable farms, two weed species of the family Poaceae including Setaria viridis (437) and Eleusine indica ssp (277) were present in the higher numbers followed by Chenopodium murale (166) of the Chenopodiaceae family. In the fruit farms, the weed species Cynodon dactylon of the family Poaceae represented the highest weed density (172) followed by Gisekia pharnaceoides L. species (153) of family Gisekiaceae and Portulaca oleracea (59) belonging to the family Portulacaceae. The vegetable and fruit farms of the Taif region face severe weed pressure that affects the cultivated crops. This study depicts a comprehensive picture of weed diversity and density in the vegetable and fruit farms of the area. The results of this study will be beneficial in developing effective weed management practices for better crop production.

Mushroom lactases are a hopeful biocatalyst for the synthesis and modification of different compounds. They are an accessible and inexpensive enzyme for the preparation of reaction objects and have recently received attention. Laccase purification was performed from basidiomycete Lentinus strigosus (LS) in several stages: Stage 1. On ion-exchange chromatography on TEAE Servacell 23 (400 ml), two distinctly separated laccase activity peaks were observed, eluted from the carrier at 0.21 and 0.27 M NaCl. In order to reduce the loss of enzymes, all fractions with laccase activity were collected, concentrated, and desalted using an ultrafiltration cell (Amicon, United States) with a UM-10 membrane. Stage 2. The resulting preparation with laccase activity was applied to a Q-Sepharose column (60 ml). Two well-separated peaks with laccase activity were obtained during the elution: laccase I (0.12 M NaCl) and laccase II (0.2 M NaCl). Stage 3. In the course of further purification of both enzymes, carried out on anion-exchange carrier Resource Q (6 ml), a broken gradient was used: 0 - 10%, 10 - 20%, and 20 - 100% with 1M NaCl. Stage 4. Both laccase I and laccase II, obtained after Resource Q, were desalted, concentrated to 1 ml each, and applied to a Superdex 75 gel filtration column. As a result, two laccases were obtained in a homogeneous form.

Abstract: The effect of the hydrological cycle on the abundance of adults and larvae of the weevils Cyrtobagous salviniae and Cyrtobagous singularis in the Pantanal was tested and related to the host-plant abundance, limnological variables, and hydrological connectivity of 10 “bays” (lakes and ponds) along the Cuiabá River. Adults and larvae of C. salviniae were more abundant than C. singularis, and larvae and adult abundance differed significantly both within and between the two species. Adults and larvae of both species were more abundant in connected bays, but only C. salviniae responded to both connectivity and hydrological cycle, with the highest abundances during the high-water and rising-water periods for adults and larvae, respectively. Abundance of C. singularis was negatively related to the predominance of C. salviniae, and populations of adults and larvae of both species were slightly and negatively related to the limnological variables and host-plant abundance. The results showed that the temporal variation in larval and adult abundance and dominance of C. salviniae is influenced by hydrological cycle and connectivity, but not by limnological variables and host-plant abundance.
Mammals of Cajuru State Forest and surroundings: a neglected but important Protected Area for the Cerrado conservation in the São Paulo state, Brazil

Abstract: The Cerrado has been severely impacted by anthropogenic disturbances, with a tiny proportion of its original extent remaining in its southern portions. In the state of São Paulo, only 7% of this vegetation remains and relatively little is known about the biodiversity of these fragments. To fill this knowledge gap, we inventoried medium and large-sized terrestrial mammals of a neglected region, including a sustainable use protected area, Cajuru State Forest (CSF), adjacent native vegetation remnants protected by the Native Vegetation Protection Law and owned by a paper and cellulose company (Dois Córregos Farm; DCF), and their surroundings. We recorded 20 native mammal species, five of which are endangered with extinction, including the giant anteater, puma, and maned wolf. We found no significant differences in species richness between CSF and DCF but we found higher estimated species richness for the surrounding areas. Besides encompassing a larger and more heterogeneous area, the surrounding area still has a relatively high proportion (>30%) of native vegetation, providing habitat and resources for many species. The estimated mammal species richness for the entire study area was similar to that found in the largest protected area of the Cerrado in São Paulo State, the Jataí Ecological Station and its surroundings. We conclude that our study area still harbors a relatively rich community of large mammals and is important for the conservation of endangered species. This finding is particularly timing since the current State administration is considering to transfer the economic exploitation of CSF to the private sector. We therefore endorse an existing proposal to uplist this protected area, which still lacks a management plan, to a more restricted management category. Besides actions regarding this governmental PA, we argue that it is also important to involve the private sector in a conservation plan for the region.
“A vitória não é completa, mas é inevitável que virá”: George Butler, o protestantismo e a laicização do Estado no Brasil
Authors: Veras Rogerio de Carvalho
Published: March 2022

RESUMO O artigo aborda o tema da laicização do Estado a partir das ações e dos discursos do missionário protestante George William Butler (1853-1919) nos primeiros dias após a proclamação da República. O objetivo é avaliar como esse personagem vivenciou e participou desse processo. Analisando seus relatórios, os conflitos políticos locais e as relações do missionário com agentes que elaboraram uma lei de separação Igreja-Estado no Maranhão, sua vida surge como uma via de acesso para o entendimento deste processo e dos sentidos que os protestantes lhe desejavam imprimir. Assim, destaca-se a importância da análise micro-histórica para se perceberem os indivíduos não apenas como receptores de transformações macrossociais, mas como agentes dessas mudanças.
Entre a negrofilia e a negrofobia: caricaturas dos anos 1920 em perspectiva transnacional
Authors: Gorberg Marissa
Published: March 2022

RESUMO Esse artigo examina caricaturas publicadas nos anos 1920 em revistas ilustradas de países integrantes de um circuito interatlântico de performances afro-diaspóricas. Contemplamos representações que versavam sobre personagens negros, protagonistas de expressões de música e dança de matriz africana que ganhavam popularidade junto a esferas elitistas, a fim de investigarmos processos que interferiram na construção de categorias sociais racializadas, sob perspectiva transnacional. À luz dos estudos pós-coloniais, inspirados por Frantz Fanon e Homi Bhabha, vislumbramos o exame de representações-estereótipos levando em conta ambiguidades subjacentes à sua elaboração. Produzidas na denominada Era do Jazz, as criações gráfico-humorísticas acionam reflexões acerca de trânsitos e trocas mediados por publicações periódicas que concorreram à elaboração de identidades, no balanço entre as estratégias racistas de poder e dominação e o sucesso e a afirmação da cultura negra amplificada em eixos diaspóricos de intercâmbio cultural.
As revoluções adotam o seu dialeto peculiar: os significados da independência do Brasil em uma região-fronteira (Província Cisplatina, 1821-1824)
Authors: Winter Murillo Dias
Published: March 2022

RESUMO Este artigo discute os usos e significados do conceito de independência durante o processo de ruptura entre Brasil e Portugal. Enfatizo os diferentes projetos políticos e os conflitos que surgiram em função da separação entre Brasil e Portugal e a pluralidade de alternativas e identidades, entre 1821 e 1824. Relaciono essa perspectiva com os debates na imprensa da Província Cisplatina, os questionamentos sobre os eventos em outras províncias brasileiras e a mobilização de exemplos dos Estados Unidos da América e das Províncias Unidas do Rio da Prata. Argumento, assim, que esse vocabulário, suas transformações e inovações ajudaram a inserir a Cisplatina dentro da política brasileira e das transformações da modernidade.
CONTORNO DE LÍNGUA DE CRIANÇAS BRASILEIRAS COM DESVIO FONOLÓGICO: MEDIDAS DE DURAÇÃO E DESLOCAMENTO DA LÍNGUA
Authors: OLIVEIRA Aline Mara de , BERTI Larissa Cristina
Published: March 2022

RESUMO Este estudo caracterizou as medidas de deslocamento e duração da língua no desvio fonológico na produção típica de crianças falantes do português brasileiro. As hipóteses são: (1) crianças com desvio fonológico caracterizam-se por uma duração maior que as crianças típicas; e (2) o deslocamento da língua é maior no desvio fonológico e nas produções típicas das crianças. Participaram cinco crianças com desvio fonológico e cinco com desenvolvimento típico de linguagem. O corpus consistiu em palavras contendo dois padrões silábicos: CCV e CV. As imagens foram capturadas simultaneamente pelo software Articulate Assistant Advanced (AAA). A hipótese 1 não foi confirmada e a 2 foi parcialmente confirmada. A duração é maior nas sílabas CCV. O deslocamento médio e posterior da língua é maior no desvio fonológico. As crianças com desvio fonológico parecem não coordenar os gestos da ponta da língua durante a produção de CCV (esperado para a produção do tepe), entretanto deslocam a região média e a região posterior da língua.
