Authors: Princz Katalin , Pilinszki Attila
Published: September 2024

A fiatalok digitáliseszköz-használata társadalmi szintű kérdéssé vált, és kihívást jelent egyéni, családi és közösségi szinten egyaránt. A digitáliseszköz-használat és a mentális jóllét összefüggése egyre nagyobb figyelmet kap a kutatók és a gyakorlati szakemberek körében. Tanulmányunk célja áttekintést nyújtani a témával kapcsolatos hazai és nemzetközi eredményekről, és rávilágítani, hogy milyen kapcsolatban áll a mentális jóllét az online térben töltött idővel. Irodalomkutatásunk során azt vizsgáltuk, hogy a Covid előtti tendenciák hogyan változtak a pandémia alatt, illetve azt követően. Megállapítható az összefüggés a mentális jóllét és a digitáliseszköz-használat között, ugyanakkor a kapcsolat nem lineáris. Többen mutattak rá egy J alakú görbére, eszerint a tudatos, keretek közötti használat veszélyezteti legkisebb mértékben a pszichés jóllétet. Tanulmányunk végén felhívjuk a figyelmet olyan programokra, melyek segíthetik a családok megküzdését és a szakemberek munkáját.

Published: September 2024

Az alacsony termékenységű fejlett társadalmakban kiemelt jelentősége van azoknak a beavatkozásoknak, amelyek a gyermeknevelést segítik összeegyeztetni a munkaerőpiaci jelenléttel. A tágabb család, különösképpen a nagyszülő bevonódása egyfajta intézményesült alternatívaként tudja segíteni a családokat a mindennapokban, ezért ennek a jelenségnek a vizsgálata hozzájárulhat a termékenységi szándékok jobb megértéséhez. Kvantitatív kutatásunkban hat hónapnál fiatalabb gyermeket nevelő anyák körében vizsgáltuk a nagyszülőkkel való találkozás rendszerességét, az érzelmi távolságot, a nagyszülőktől érkező támogatási formákat. Eredményeink szerint a kisgyermekes anyák gyermekvállalási terveit befolyásolja a nagyszülőktől várható és megtapasztalt támogatás, ugyanakkor jelentős különbség van a kapott támogatás mértékében az apai és anyai nagyszülők esetében, továbbá a túl szoros függés (közös otthon) visszaveti a gyermekvállalási hajlandóságot.
Mikor jön a segítség? : Serdülők segítségkérő magatartásának jellemzői a pedagógus szemszögéből
Authors: Dombi Annamária , Koltói Lilla , Kiss Paszkál
Published: September 2024

Kutatásunk során pedagógusokat kérdeztünk félig strukturált interjúk segítségével arról, hogyan vélekednek a pszichológusokról, és véleményük szerint mi támogatná a serdülőket, hogy mentális problémák esetén szakszerű segítséget kérjenek. Mivel a serdülők napjuk jelentős részét az iskolában töltik, a pedagógusoknak van lehetőségük arra, hogy detektálják a tüneteket, és megfelelő szakellátás felé tereljék a fiatalokat. Emiatt nagyon fontos az ő úgynevezett kapuőrszerepük. A kutatásunkban megkérdezett harminckét pedagógus túlnyomó része pozitív töltetű szóasszociációt adott a pszichológus hívószóra, és a fogalommal kapcsolatos szociális reprezentáció a segítség kifejezés körül kristályosodott ki. A felvett interjúkat a kvalitatív témaelemzés módszerével vizsgáltuk. A segítségkérést elősegítő fő tényezők a következők voltak: (1) kapcsolat, (2) bizalom, (3) információ, (4) pozitív példa, (5) társadalmi változás.

Published: September 2024

La educación es uno de los ejes de desarrollo de avance social y económico de una nación, donde el conjunto de actores que los conforman tiende a ser afectado por diferentes factores, el presente estudio considera a los estudiantes como elementos esenciales de avance y desarrollo en el campo social donde los factores sociales, económicos tienden a interferir en la unidad familiar repercutiendo en el ambiente desarrollo profesional de cada educando, el cual termina en deserción escolar. Para las variables de estudio se optó por información de investigaciones de carácter científico, de igual forma la existencia de teorías que respaldan el estudio, entre ellas el sistema ecológico de Bronfenbrenner que formuló una perspectiva que concibe al medio como un ambiente estructurado que involucran la relación escuela-estudiantes-docentes-padres de familia. El enfoque de investigación es mixto, dado que involucra parámetros cualitativos y cuantitativos, haciendo uso de tipos de investigación de campo, aplicada, bibliográfica y descriptiva. Se concluye que los factores incidentes en la deserción escolar en los estudiantes del estudio, radican en problemas de ingresos económicos, falta de oportunidades, poco apoyo emocional, inasistencia de planes de convivencia, dado que ante estas problemáticas se ve afectado el núcleo familiar, repercutiendo en el educando de forma negativa haciendo que estos actores abandonen sus estudios, deteniendo de esta forma el progreso ciudadano. Ante esto se planteó una propuesta de permanencia educativa que de acuerdo a criterios especialistas es factible, pertinente y funcional.

Published: September 2024

Las políticas fiscales son un motor esencial en el desarrollo económico de Ecuador, influyendo directamente en la dinámica del crecimiento del país y enfrentando el desafío de mantener la estabilidad fiscal. Esta investigación analiza cómo el gasto público, la deuda pública y los ingresos tributarios impactan el PIB per cápita durante el período 2000-2021, identificando medidas efectivas y proponiendo estrategias para un desarrollo económico sostenible. A partir de datos longitudinales de fuentes oficiales como el Banco Central del Ecuador, el Fondo Monetario Internacional, el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos, el Banco Mundial y el Servicio de Rentas Internas del Ecuador, se aplica un enfoque mixto que incluye la estimación de un modelo de regresión lineal múltiple, basado en la teoría del crecimiento endógeno y la función de producción Cobb-Douglas. Los resultados muestran que el gasto público tiene un efecto significativo y positivo sobre el crecimiento económico, especialmente cuando se destina a sectores productivos e infraestructura. Estos hallazgos sugieren que, si las políticas fiscales se alinean con los objetivos de desarrollo a largo plazo, asegurando una distribución equitativa de los recursos y fomentando la inversión en sectores clave, pueden ser efectivas para promover un crecimiento económico sostenible en Ecuador.

Published: September 2024

Salt has major importance as a basic necessity in households, feedstock for various kinds of industry, and a means of fortification to prevent diseases attributed to iodine deficiency. However, the amount of salt produced in Indonesia has yet to meet the national demand, hence warranting the necessity of salt yield improvement. This research set out to evaluate the hydrological and climatological states of the coastal area of Gunungkidul Regency for potential salt farms. The hydrological analysis identified underground rivers, springs, and surface rivers emptying into the study area, whereas the hydrochemical analysis observed major elements of seawater and salinity and determined the effects of hydrological characteristics on seawater. The climatological evaluation involved analyzing rain, temperature, humidity, and daily wind data from 1979–2013. All of these details were matched against the suitability parameters for salt farms. The results showed that the hydrological and geological conditions were closely related and that the underground rivers, springs, and surface rivers decreased salinity and sodium and chloride contents of seawater. Based on salinity levels, several beaches were highly suitable (S1) for salt farms, but climatologically, the study area was slightly suitable (S3) and suitable (S2) for this purpose.
Between Heaven and Earth
Authors: Chater James
Published: September 2024

Orthodoxy has always been a theology of beauty. Human creativity is a response to the divine beauty manifested above all in the Creation, which God declared “good”, inspires us with awe and invites a eucharistic response. Creating beauty is part of our imitation of Christ. In liturgical services, the conjunction of music and text form an indissoluble and equal partnership serving the unfolding Logos. The kind of beauty that leads to prayer and transcendence is brought about by (among other things) silence (understood as hesychia or inner tranquility), correct breathing and frisson, understood as a physical reaction triggered by a sense of wonder similar to that experienced by the crowds who heard Christ’s teaching.

Just Follow the (Ten) Steps
Authors: Wells Jaclyn
Published: September 2024

This study investigates infant feeding rhetoric from the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative (BFHI), a World Health Organization (WHO) and United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) partnership that prioritizes exclusive breastfeeding. The study approaches patient education materials as user documentation and analyzes the materials for kairos and metaphor. The author argued that the materials function as documentation for the birthing parent’s body operating within the system of the BFHI. The article concludes with recommendations for future research and for creating infant feeding resources that provide critical access to the healthcare system by rejecting the body-as-machine metaphor and reflecting families’ diverse situations, not just the situation of the U.S. healthcare system or BFHI.
Standardizing Genres in Biomedicine
Authors: Wickman Chad
Published: September 2024

Reporting guidelines have emerged in recent years as a critical site of deliberation and intervention for stakeholders in the biomedical community. These texts have historically been used to formulate standards for quality reporting and bring consistency to processes of writing and publication; they also operate as a space in which practitioners promote values, define expectations, and coordinate action in line with established standards and practices in the field. Drawing on scholarship in rhetoric and genre studies, this article examines how reporting guidelines contribute to the standardization of writing and publishing activity in biomedicine, functioning both as semi-procedural documents that take part in the “genre-ing” of published research and as public displays of and arguments for accountability that can be used to regulate the work of knowledge making over time. I conclude by discussing how rhetoricians might use reporting guidelines as a strategic locus for conceptualizing and potentially shaping research and writing activity in different areas of health and medicine.

Changes in Young People’s Media Repertoires. Longitudinal Insights from a Communicative Figurational Approach
Authors: Potzel Katrin , Draheim Saskia , Domdey Paulina , Lampert Claudia , Kammerl Rudolf
Published: September 2024

Young people use digital media for various purposes, such as communication, entertainment, and information. As they grow up, their media repertoires become more complex and diverse. This article examines these media repertoires in more detail, considering the dynamic changes in individual development, social circumstances, and deep mediatization. Using semi-structured interviews with young people and one parent each, as well as a media-actor mapping, the study reveals significant changes in the composition and function of media repertoires from late childhood to early and middle adolescence. Drawing on the theoretical background of communicative figurations, it highlights changes in media ensembles, actor constellations, frames of relevance, and communicative practices. Besides changes in media repertoires for coping with developmental tasks and individual transitions in life, social factors such as the role of family and peers are considered. The empirical findings also point to the added value of qualitative longitudinal data which allows for a comprehensive examination of the complexity of changing media repertoires within a deeply mediatized society and a rapidly evolving media environment.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) has emerged as a pivotal determinant in the progression of cancer and the development of resistance to therapeutic interventions. The heterogeneous cellular composition of the TME not only facilitates tumor proliferation but also poses formidable obstacles to the efficacy of conventional treatments. This chapter delves into an examination of the distinctive attributes of the TME, exploring both established and innovative approaches designed to target the TME. Through a thorough analysis of the intricate involvement of the TME in cancer biology, we underscore the imperative for a comprehensive understanding and specific modulation of the TME to enhance the efficacy of cancer treatments. This elucidation provides novel insights for further research endeavors and clinical applications.
One for All in Privacy Law: A Relational View on Privacy Based on the Ethics of Care
Authors: Boeken Jasmijn
Published: September 2024

This chapter proposes a transition from an individualistic conception of privacy to a relational perspective, challenging traditional approaches on two main fronts. First, considering privacy as an individual matter constitutes an unequal playing field when it is balanced against communal rights. Second, information shared by one person can significantly impact others. This chapter highlights research on group and relational privacy but emphasizes a need for a theoretical foundation, proposing care ethics as a normative basis for a relational perspective. Caring privacy should entail the following criteria: (1) minimizing what is known about persons, (2) recognizing persons as embedded in relationships, (3) viewing the private-public distinction as a continuum, (4) no distinction between personal and general data, (5) information is contextual, (6) respecting personal space, and (7) everyone has it. The core contribution of the caring perspective of privacy is that a loss of privacy for one is a privacy loss for all.
Current Pharmacological Treatments in Type 1 Diabetes and Patient Tolerability Against New Generation Medicines
Authors: Serdar Deniz Muzaffer
Published: September 2024

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is an autoimmune condition characterized by insulin deficiency due to pancreatic beta-cell destruction. The global incidence of T1D has been increasing and reached 12 million patients in 2021. Diabetes is expected to rank third place, following cardiovascular disease and stroke within factors that reduce life expectancy. T1D patients suffer from poor glycemic control due to fluctuations in glucose levels, leading to cardiovascular disease, nephropathy, and retinopathy. T1D currently has no cure, and management strategies are crucial for improving the quality of patient life. In this chapter, we will be discussing advancements in diabetes technologies, focusing on management and emerging therapies. Newer technologies in glucose monitoring, better analogs for insulin replacement therapies, and advanced continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) devices eliminating the burden of manual multiple daily injections (MDI) are proving to be beneficial to diabetics. Additionally, combined adjunct therapies where amylin analogs, GLP-1 receptor agonists, and SGLT2 inhibitors, as well as emerging immunotherapy, offer complementary benefits in managing T1D. Although surgical interventions such as the pancreas or islet transplantations are currently applied as a necessary measure to rescue organ failure, advancements in stem cell technologies and synthetic biology eliminate donor requirements and increase the survival of transplants.
Opioids in Cancer Therapy: Benefits, Risks, and Critical Challenges
Authors: Saberi-Hasanabadi Parisa , Esmaeilzadeh Farmad Milad , Ataie Amin , Ataee Ramin
Published: September 2024

Pain management in cancer patients is one of the main components of palliative treatment. The requirement for rational use of opioids is careful selection of patients, correct prescription of these compounds, compliance with drug dosage, regular sequence of use, compliance with side effects, and drug interactions. Most cancer patients with moderate to severe pain will respond to treatment with opioid analgesics. Limited comprehensive studies have been conducted so far on the use of opioids in cancer pain management. In this chapter, databases for the search included PubMed, MedLine, and Embase databases along with reviews and cross-references. We examine the continuous use of opioids and the related consequences and challenges in the management of patients with cancer pain. In addition, the discussion includes the therapeutic use of opioids, the effectiveness of treatment with this group of compounds, the assessment of the risk of continuous opioid use, and the guidance for administration of opioids in patients with cancer. In general, the effects of opioid use in different age groups with on cancer progression, metastases, and recurrence can be an interesting indication that is worth future research in case of loss of analgesic response in time.
Students from Rural and Urban Areas and Their Entry to the University
Authors: Noemi Lopez Santiago , de Jesus Reyes Pérez Omar
Published: September 2024

The aim of this research is to understand the general context of higher education students in both rural and urban areas of Oaxaca. The theoretical basis is constructivism, because it takes into account the individual’s environment for the development of learning. It is a research work whose method consists of a bibliographic review and descriptive statistics on socio-demographic and educational variables. Its value lies in the visualization of the difficulties that persist among young people just entering university and the lack of physical and technological school infrastructure as well as the socio-economic conditions in which the students live. The results provide evidence of the gap in access to higher education between the rural and urban population as a result of the lack of public government investment in the educational, social and digital areas. Less than half of the households have access to information and communication technologies, which significantly hinder their university education. These aspects invite urgent and necessary international reflection on the forms of governance in higher education, which is not limited to the Mexican context.
Perspective Chapter: The Digital Divide in a Global Emergency – How Technology is Shaping Academic Performance in Diverse Communities
Authors: Kallon Aruna
Published: September 2024

Inequity in access and use of technology influenced by factors such as race, income, or geography has long been in existence and continues to be impactful today. Owing to its sheer scale, the burden of the COVID-19 pandemic has only deepened this disparity, particularly for students from low-income families, rural locations, and other disadvantaged groups with limited digital resources available to them. This review synthesizes research examining how the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated digital divides in education globally. Key studies find that the abrupt shift to remote learning spotlighted profound disparities in technology access and digital literacy across student demographics. Students from disadvantaged backgrounds faced heightened barriers to accessing devices and internet connectivity and utilizing technology effectively for remote instruction, inhibiting academic progress. However, research also notes opportunities to reimagine more innovative, digitally enabled education models if digital equity gaps are addressed. Findings underscore that efforts to confront systemic inequities and marginalization must accompany technology access to enable diverse students to thrive academically during global crises necessitating remote learning. The central thesis asserts that policies providing equitable access to technology are crucial in supporting academic success, mitigating social and economic inequality, equipping students for employment in the future, and developing digital citizenship skills.
Modern Therapy of Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia
Authors: Anthony Othieno-Abinya Nicholas , Paolo Piccaluga Pier
Published: September 2024

The advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has transformed CML from a fatal disease into a manageable chronic condition. This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current therapeutic landscape for CML and discuss the unique challenges in the treatment of CML, particularly in resource-limited settings such as Kenya. The introduction of TKIs marked a paradigm shift in the management of CML. Imatinib, the first-generation TKI, demonstrated remarkable efficacy in inducing durable cytogenetic and molecular responses, establishing it as the gold standard for first-line therapy. However, resistance and intolerance to imatinib necessitated the development of new drugs as dasatinib, nilotinib, bosutinib, ponatinib, and asciminib have been introduced. Despite these advancements, significant challenges persist in the management of CML in developing countries like Kenya. The high cost of TKIs, limited healthcare infrastructure, and scarcity of specialised medical professionals are formidable barriers to optimal treatment. In conclusion, the therapeutic landscape of CML has evolved dramatically with the advent of TKIs and novel agents, offering hope for achieving long-term disease control and even treatment-free remission. However, the disparity in access to these therapies between developed and developing countries underscores the need for global health strategies to ensure equitable treatment.

Peirce’s Semiotics and the Background of Whitehead’s Symbolism
Authors: Rusu Bogdan ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2024

The aim of this paper is to present Peirce’s semiotics as an important factor in the genesis of Alfred North Whitehead’s doctrine of symbolism. I argue that Peirce had a direct impact on Whitehead’s earliest reflections on symbolism generally and mathematical symbolism particularly. From his first encounter with Charles Sanders Peirce’s semiotic doctrine, contrasted to that of George F. Stout, Whitehead derived a general doctrine of signs which he never abandoned and which formed the basis of his mature doctrine of symbolism. While in the first years of his Harvard professorship, Whitehead suffered a second, indirect, influence from Peirce, through the American philosophers he interacted with. His mature philosophy of perception is both the development and application of the doctrine derived from Peirce and Stout thirty years before, and a reply to the realist doctrines which stressed the symbolic nature of perceptual knowledge, most importantly Santayana’s. Whitehead’s own brand of realism rests on the assumption of a pansemiotic principle, obscurely and mediately derived from Peirce.

The study is structured in three parts, namely: the three scenarios of universal history; the significant myths of great narratives; the problems of the myth of unique time. These aspects bring into question and demonstrate the importance of the imaginary for the understanding of cosmological and anthropological time.
The Role of Political Symbolism in Constructing a National Iranian Identity
Authors: Todorova Bogdana ,   Polish Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2024

Symbolism is at the heart of the political process and any symbol can potentially become a part of the political field. Applying the “positive symbol” concept I underlines that the Iranian nation is formed through the symbolic forms of ideas and values. Two types of symbols can be identified in the formation of Iranian identity: symbols-signifiers and integrating symbols. The article pays attention to the role of symbols, the role of the so called “guardians” and the role of Corbin’s “imaginal world” in the construction of Iranian identity. The paper shows in its conclusion that the role of political symbolism in constructing a national Iranian identity is significant and acting as a “symbol-strategy,” consisting of symbolic actions.
Feyerabend on Human Life, Abstraction, and the Conquest of Abundance
Authors: Kidd Ian James ,   Institute of Philosophy, Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2024

I offer a new interpretation of Feyerabend’s ‘conquest of abundance’ narrative. I consider and reject both the ontological reading as implausible and the ‘historical’ reading as uncompelling. My own proposal is that the ‘conquest of abundance’ be understood in terms of an impoverishment of the richness of human experience. For Feyerabend, such abundance is ‘conquered’ when individuals internalize distorting epistemic prejudices including those integral to the theoretical conceptions associated with the sciences. I describe several ways, identified by Feyerabend, in which individuals can be led to occlude the richness of their experience in ways that are existentially impoverishing.
Keep It Up, Warrior! Perceived Social Support, Self-Efficacy, and Exercise Behaviors Surrounding Athlete’s Instagram Posts
Authors: Cruz Joe , Boehmer Jan ,   Pennsylvania Communication Association
Published: September 2024

Amateur and semi-professional athletes have become a visible presence on social media, often attracting a loyal and growing fanbase. The athletes’ social media pages tend to feature posts highlighting their weekly routines, meticulous diets, and sources of inspiration. In turn, these posts appear to stimulate conversations between athletes and their fans and followers, where information about creating a healthy lifestyle may be exchanged. For this reason, the communication dynamic between semi-pro athletes and their fans warrant scholarly attention. This study aims to probe this development in athlete-fan communication by examining the types of messages semi-professional athletes post on Instagram and the responses they generate from followers. The researchers pay particular attention to how social support, self-efficacy, and overall motivation are communicated. A mixed-method approach that employs a content analysis of 59 Instagram posts by semi-professional athletes was conducted. The results suggest that the ensuing interactions between athletes and fans are based on a reciprocal kind of social support, with fans often providing motivational comments to athletes’ posts.
ДО ПИТАННЯ ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ МОГИЛИ ГЕТЬМАНА КИРИЛА РОЗУМОВСЬКОГО В БАТУРИНІ: УВЕДЕННЯ В НАУКОВИЙ ОБІГ ВИТЯГУ З ЛИСТА М. ВАЙНШТЕЙНА від 30.06.1927 р.

Актуальність дослідження. Питання несанкціонованого розкриття склепу гетьмана Кирила Розумовського досі залишається актуальним. Цій події присвячені ґрунтовні наукові дослідження, зокрема відомих істориків та краєзнавців Ф. Ернста, В. Різниченка, С. Білоконя, О. Коваленка. Результативними стали систематичні напрацювання істориків Національного заповідника «Гетьманська столиця». Проте ця тема потребує подальшого дослідження.   Влітку 1927 р. поховання гетьмана України Кирила Розумовського відкрив завідувач Конотопського краєвого музею О. Поплавський. Ця блюзнірська подія обурила й згуртувала українську інтелігенцію, істориків, захисників старовини, небайдужих до збереження пам’яток, зокрема Федора Ернста, Київського краєвого інспектора з охорони пам’яток культури, та директора Чернігівського державного музею Марка Вайнштейна.   Мета дослідження полягає в уведенні в науковий обіг нових відомостей та документу про розкриття склепу гетьмана, а саме – витягу з листа завідуючого Чернігівським окрмузеєм М. Вайнштейна до співробітника Лаврського музею в Києві В. Шугаєвського. Методи. У процесі підготовки публікації використано загальнонаукові (аналіз, синтез, порівняльний, класифікації, систематизації) та історичний (проблемно-хронологічний) методи. Наукова новизна зумовлена аналізом та введенням у науковий обіг виявленого документа – витягу з листа Марка Вайнштейна, – який зберігається у Центральному державному архіві вищих органів влади та управління України (м. Київ).   Висновки. Підготовлено до друку й уведено в науковий обіг архівний документ – витяг з листа завідуючого Чернігівським окрмузеєм М.І. Вайнштейна до співробітника Лаврського музею в Києві В.А. Шугаєвського про деталі несанкціонованого розкриття могили гетьмана Кирила Розумовського у Воскресенській церкві Батурина від 30.06.1927 р. із фондів ЦДАВО України в м. Київ.

Authors: Lima Diego Viana Melo , Kinpara Kelly Thaís Araújo , Menezes Douglas Silva
Published: September 2024

Os insetos aquáticos são invertebrados que apresentam parte ou todo o seu ciclo de vida na água. No estado do Acre o conhecimento sobre essa fauna ainda é incipiente, mesmo diante da grande biodiversidade encontrada nessa região. O surgimento de ações extensionistas a partir das pesquisas científicas realizadas pelos Institutos Federais fornece meios para reduzir esse distanciamento entre a ciência e a comunidade. O minicurso teve como objetivo apresentar de maneira didática e acessível os conhecimentos teóricos e práticos sobre a biologia, taxonomia e conservação de insetos aquáticos. Ao todo foram atendidos trinta alunos que passaram por aulas teóricas, treinamento em campo para coleta, triagem e preservação de insetos e identificação em laboratório com uso de chaves taxonômicas. Esse projeto permitiu a formação continuada de alunos da graduação de licenciatura além de despertar o interesse pelo estudo da entomologia aquática na região.

Authors: Barbosa José Márcio Silva
Published: September 2024

Este artigo apresenta um relato analítico de diálogos inspiradores para implantação da Extensão no curso de Pedagogia de uma universidade estadual de modo a possibilitar sua expansão e abarcar discussões que a colocam, de fato, a serviço da formação acadêmica dos estudantes da Licenciatura. Ele se inicia caracterizando o contexto da Extensão na sua implantação, que teve dois caminhos condicionantes: análise documental, regulamentada pela própria universidade, Resolução de nº 287, de 04 de março de 2021, e pelos preceitos legais do governo federal. Após a implementação da Resolução da Universidade para operacionalizar a obrigação dos 10% da carga horária dos cursos de graduação em atividades de extensão, há uma inevitável e constante discussão entre os membros do Núcleo Docente Estruturante do curso de Pedagogia para alteração da curricularização da extensão como parte indissociável do ensino e da pesquisa.
