Examining The Inclusion of Persons with Visual Impairment in The Formal Employment Sector in Uganda
Authors: Niyisabwa Odette Tumwesigye , Emong Paul
Published: August 2024

This article examines the inclusion of persons with visual impairments (PwVIs) in the formal employment sector in Uganda. It examines their experiences while searching for jobs, the attitudes of employers towards their employment, and their working conditions. The article is based on research on access to and retention of PwVIs in formal employment in Uganda. The research was examined within the theoretical perspectives of disability as a social model and human rights issues. A qualitative research design using a phenomenological approach was applied to obtain information through interviews. Ten employees with visual impairment in the formal employment sector were possessively selected. Results indicated that employers did not have enough knowledge and specialized manpower to employ PwVI. They also lacked reasonable accommodation provisions for employees with visual impairment. In addition, employers had negative attitudes towards PwVI, which led to discrimination, exploitation, abuse, and humiliation.
Artikel ini meneliti inklusifitas bagi penyandang disabilitas netra di sektor ketenagakerjaan formal di Uganda. Artikel ini meneliti pengalaman mereka saat mencari pekerjaan, sikap penyedia kerja terhadap pekerjaan mereka, dan kondisi kerja mereka. Artikel ini didasarkan pada penelitian tentang akses dan retensi penyandang disabilitas netra di sektor ketenagakerjaan formal di Uganda. Penelitian ini diperiksa dalam perspektif teoritis tentang disabilitas sebagai model sosial dan isu-isu hak asasi manusia. Desain penelitian kualitatif menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologis diterapkan untuk mendapatkan informasi melalui wawancara. Sepuluh karyawan dengan disabilitas netra di sektor ketenagakerjaan formal dipilih secara positif. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa penyedia kerja tidak memiliki pengetahuan terkait ketenagakerjaan disabilitas yang cukup untuk mempekerjakan Penyandang disabilitas netra. Mereka juga tidak memiliki ketentuan akomodasi yang layak untuk karyawan dengan disabilitas netra. Selain itu, penyedia kerja memiliki sikap negatif terhadap penyandang disabilitas netra, yang mengarah pada diskriminasi, eksploitasi, penyalahgunaan, dan penghinaan.
Praktik dan Hambatan Pemenuhan Hak Pilih Penyandang Disabilitas Mental dalam Pemilu
Authors: M. Syafiie  , Heriansyah Despan
Published: August 2024

Pada prinsipnya, keberadaan KPU dan Badan Pengawas Pemilu (Bawaslu) adalah dalam rangka agar peserta dan pemilih dalam pemilihan umum mendapatkan akses terhadap keadilan pemilu, termasuk bagi penyandang disabilitas mental. Penyandang disabilitas mental adalah kelompok yang paling rentan mendapatkan diskriminasi dan berbagai jenis pelanggaran hak lainnya, terutama dalam hal hak dipilih dan memilih dalam pemilihan umum. Penelitian ini secara spesifik akan melihat realitas perlindungan hak pilih oleh KPU dan pengawasan yang dilakukan oleh Bawaslu terhadap penyandang disabilitas mental dalam rangkaian proses Pemilu. Selanjutnya, juga akan dianalisis bagaimana hambatan dalam mengimplementasi kewenangan yang dimiliki oleh dua lembaga tersebut. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian yuridis empirik, di mana data utama yang akan digunakan adalah data primer yang berasal dari pengambilan data lapangan langsung. Dalam rangka menyempitkan objek penelitian, maka objek penelitian adalah Bawaslu Provinsi Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta dan Bawaslu Provinsi Bali dalam menyelenggarakan proses pemilu tahun 2024. Kedua lokasi ini dipilih karena merepresentasikan dua kutub gerakan masyarakat sipil yang berbeda, utamanya dalam isu disabilitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari aspek kuantitas memang terjadi peningkatan partisipasi pemilih disabilitas mental. Namun, pelaksanaan putusan MK oleh penyelenggara pemilu ini juga masih menemui berbagai hambatan, baik administrasi, sarana prasarana, maupun pelayanan.
Fiqih bagi Penyandang Disabilitas
Authors: Syauqi Muhammad Labib , Prasetiawan Ahmad Yusuf
Published: August 2024

Islamic law’s attention to people with mental disabilities has not been well formulated. This is due to the complexity of the discourse and development of mental disabilities today while the concept of disability formulated by previous scholars is still very simple. The question is, how is the formulation of Islamic law friendly to people with mental disabilities today? A fresh formulation is needed to accommodate those with mental disabilities. Two ushūlī concepts, namely the concept of Ahliyyah and the concept of Maslahah, can be the framework and method of istinbāth in determining the rules of Islamic law for persons with mental disabilities. They must be viewed in terms of capability (ahliyyah) so as not to deprive them of their rights as human beings, but these rights must also not exceed the limits that are contrary to maslahah, so assistance and support are needed in making decisions in Islamic law for them.
Perhatian bagi penyandang disabilitas mental ini terabaikan dibandingkan kelompok penyandang disabilitas fisik. Hukum Islam bagi penyandang disabilitas fisik sudah terumuskan dengan baik namun tidak demikian dengan hukum bagi disabilitas mental. Hal ini dikarenakan kompleksitas diskursus dan perkembangan disabilitas mental masa kini sementara konsep disabilitas yang dirumuskan oleh para ulama terdahulu masih sangat sederhana. Pertanyaannya adalah, bagaimana rumusan hukum Islam yang ramah bagi para penyandang disabilitas mental saat ini? Perlu rumusan segar agar dapat mengakomodir mereka yang mengalami disabilitas mental. Dua konsep ushūlī yakni konsep Ahliyyah serta konsep Maslahah dapat menjadi kerangka besar dan metode istinbāth dalam menentukan aturan-aturan hukum Islam bagi penyandang disabilitas mental. Hasilnya mereka harus dipandang dari sisi kecakapan (ahliyyah) supaya tidak menghilangkan hak mereka sebagai manusia, akan tetapi hak tersebut juga tidak boleh melampaui batas yang justru bertentangan dengan maslahah, maka dibutuhkan pendampingan dan dukungan dalam pengambilan keputusan dalam hukum Islam bagi mereka.
GELENEKSEL ALEVİLİKTE TANRI ALGISI VE GNOSTİK TEMELLERİ
Authors: Yılmaz Hulusi
Published: August 2024

Geleneksel Alevilikte Tanrı kavrayışı hulûl ve tenasüh inançlarının izlerini taşımaktadır. Edebi eserlerde bu etki Hz. Ali’nin Tanrılaştırılması şeklinde ortaya çıkmaktadır. Alevilerin Tanrı kavrayışı tasavvufun panteist yorumu veya aşırı Şii etkilerin kalıntıları olarak yorumlanmaktadır. Tasavvufta Tanrı’nın insanda sıfatlarıyla tecelli etmesi fikri kabul edilebilir bir yorumdur. Fakat araştırmacılara göre Aleviler tasavvufi kavramlara yeteri kadar vakıf olamadıklarından kafa karışıklığı yaşamaktadırlar ve bu yüzden Hz. Ali’yi Tanrı, Tanrı’nın nuru, alim olarak görmektedirler. Hz. Ali’ye atfedilen bu sıfatlar gerçekten bir kafa karışıklığı mı yoksa tarihte var olan bir üçlü oluş şablonunun Alevi Müslümanlıktaki varyantı mıdır? Hz. Ali’ye izafe edilen bu üçlü oluş tarihte Hermes’i adlandırmak için kullanılan üçlü oluşa benzemektedir. Gnostik kültürün Hermetik yorumunda Hermes aynı anda bilgelik, peygamberlik ve Tanrılık özellikleri taşır. Hermes’e atfedilen bu özellikler İslamiyet’in çevre kültürlerle etkileşimi ile Hz. Ali’ye atfedilmiş olmalıdır. Aşırı Şiî fırkaların merkezi olarak görülen Kufe’de Hermetik kültürün yaygınlığı dikkate alındığında bu etki kaçınılmazdır. Özellikle erken İslam dönemindeki iktidar mücadelelerinde aşırı Şiî fırkaların Ehl-i Beyt’i iktidara taşımak için Hz. Ali’ye bu üçlü unvanı vermeleri, iktidar söylemlerini güçlendirmiş olmalıdır. Hermes ile Hz. Ali arasında kurulan bu özdeşliğin simya ilmi üzerinden kurulduğu düşünülmektedir. Zira Hermes’in Müslümanlarda sihir ve büyü alimi olarak tanınması ile Hz. Ali’nin Müslüman simya geleneğinde otorite olarak tanınması bu ihtimali kuvvetlendirmektedir.
Preclinical and clinical evaluation through serial colonoscopic evaluation of neratinib‐induced diarrhea in HER2‐positive breast cancer—A pilot study

Published: August 2024

The irreversible pan‐HER tyrosine kinase inhibitor neratinib is approved for patients with HER2‐positive, early‐stage and metastatic breast cancer (BC). Neratinib‐associated diarrhea is the most common reason for early discontinuation. Preclinical studies identified mechanisms of neratinib‐induced diarrhea and rationale for prophylactic and preventive measures. We studied effects of neratinib on rat intestines and conducted a phase 2 study of colon pathogenesis in patients with HER2‐positive BC treated with neratinib (NCT04366713). Colon samples from female albino Wistar rats receiving neratinib or vehicle were examined for histopathological changes. Patients with HER2‐positive BC received neratinib 240 mg once daily for up to 1 year. Colonoscopy biopsies were collected at baseline and at Day 28 to identify changes consistent with rat pathologies. Rat colons were markedly altered in appearance, with similar short circuit currents (Isc) and responses to carbachol and forskolin. Mucosal barrier loss and/or significant increase in secretory propensity in neratinib‐ versus control‐treated animals were not seen. Two of four endpoint‐evaluable patients presented with mild pathological changes, largely comparable with the rat model. Preclinical evidence supports an inflammatory component of neratinib‐induced diarrhea without mucosal barrier function loss. Colonoscopy findings in patients with BC indicate mild or no pathological changes in the colon due to neratinib treatment.
Exercise‐induced appetite suppression: An update on potential mechanisms
Authors: McCarthy Seth F. , Tucker Jessica A. L. , Hazell Tom J.
Published: August 2024

The first systematic reviews of the effects of exercise on appetite‐regulation and energy intake demonstrated changes in appetite‐regulating hormones consistent with appetite suppression and decreases in subsequent relative energy intake over a decade ago. More recently, an intensity‐dependent effect and several potential mechanisms were proposed, and this review aims to highlight advances in this field. While exercise‐induced appetite suppression clearly involves acylated ghrelin, glucagon‐like peptide‐1 may also be involved, though recent evidence suggests peptide tyrosine tyrosine may not be relevant. Changes in subjective appetite perceptions and energy intake continue to be equivocal, though these results are likely due to small sample sizes and methodological inconsistencies. Of the proposed mechanisms responsible for exercise‐induced appetite suppression, lactate has garnered the most support through in vitro and in vivo rodent studies as well as a growing amount of work in humans. Other potential modulators of exercise‐induced appetite suppression may include sex hormones, growth‐differentiation factor 15, Lac‐Phe, brain‐derived neurotrophic factor, and asprosin. Research should focus on the mechanisms responsible for the changes and consider these other modulators (i.e., myokines/exerkines) of appetite to improve our understanding of the role of exercise on appetite regulation.
Neues Bauen für den neuen Menschen?
Authors: Düchs Martin , Wabel Thomas
Published: August 2024

Gibt es Bauten, die den »neuen Menschen«, mithin also das innere Neuwerden und eine veränderte Lebensführung des Menschen, befördern können? Die affirmative Bejahung dieser Frage in Theorie und Praxis der Architektur zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts steht in deutlichem Kontrast zu Karl Barths schroffer Ablehnung jeglicher Anschaulichkeit in der Rede vom »neuen Menschen« in seiner Interpretation des Römerbriefs (21922). Der Artikel diskutiert architekturphilosophische Überlegungen Otto Bartnings (1883–1959) aus der Zeit nach den beiden Weltkriegen und stellt zwei seiner sogenannten »Notkirchen« vor. Wir argumentieren, dass gerade im Verzicht auf eine der Architektur externe Programmatik wie beispielsweise eine Erziehung des Menschen Bartnings Kirchen aus sich heraus wirken und der Bau die Begegnung mit dem Gotteswort gleichsam performativ ermöglicht. Dabei koinzidieren anthropologische und theologische Bestimmungen des Heiligen.
Performance analysis of nonlinear crosstalk of WDM systems using modulation schemes criteria
Authors: Mohammed Nidhal Abd , Mansoor Riyadh , Abd Haider J. , Fadhil Hilal A.
Published: August 2024

Nonlinearities in optical fibers are regarded as the most significant barriers that endanger the effectiveness of the optical transmission system and pose a threat to communication quality. Four-wave mixing (FWM) is one of the most important nonlinear effects that greatly reduces the wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) system performance at high data rates over extended transmission distances. This research examines, and assesses, numerically, the behavior of a 4-channel, 40 Gbps WDM system under the effect of the FWM under various tuning parameters, including dispersion, input power, and wavelength spacing. The system model was built using OptiSystem software, and then three different modulation formats, namely, Non-return-to-zero-frequency shift keying, Return-to-zero frequency shift keying, and differential phase shift keying (DPSK) are used to assess the FWM power penalty. The results demonstrate that the FWM power penalty obtained with 1 nm wavelength separation in the DPSK method is dramatically reduced to −35 dBm. This study also demonstrates that when power variation is taken into consideration, the DPSK modulation scheme delivers a lower bit error rate in comparison to other modulation schemes.

Construction of a class of half-discrete Hilbert-type inequalities in the whole plane
Authors: You Minghui
Published: August 2024

In this work, we first define two special sets of real numbers, and then, we construct a half-discrete kernel function where the variables are defined in the whole plane, and the parameters in the kernel function are limited to the newly constructed special sets. Estimate the kernel function in the whole plane by converting it to the first quadrant, and then, a class of new Hilbert-type inequality is established. Additionally, it is proved that the constant factor of the newly established inequality is the best possible. Furthermore, assigning special values to the parameters and using rational fraction expansion of cosecant function, some special results are presented at the end of this article.
Biobased nanocomposite coating of paper for packaging
Authors: Hossen Md. Nakib , Rahman M. Mostafizur , Ferdous Taslima , Nayeem Jannatun , Jahan M. Sarwar
Published: August 2024

Biobased coating material is required to replace synthetic polymer-based paper coating material for a safe and clean environment. The study aimed to investigate the use of biobased nanocomposites as a coating material for paper. The biobased nanocomposite was prepared using nanocellulose, sodium alginate (SA), and bio-synthesized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) was produced through acid hydrolysis, followed by fractionation. The average size of the crystals was 15 nm in width and 125 nm in length. AgNPs were prepared by the reduction of AgNO3 with lignin. The synthesis of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by UV–visible and FTIR spectroscopy. SA-NCC composite coating improved the barrier and strength properties of paper. The paper with composite coating demonstrated a 29.11 % increase in tensile index in the cross direction, 20.82 % increase in the machine direction, and 77.89 % improvement in burst index at a coating weight of 1.68 g/m2. The composite-coated paper showed better air barrier and lower water absorption characteristics than sodium alginate-coated paper. The incorporation of AgNPs in the coating mixture introduced the antimicrobial activity of the paper as well.
A review of coordination compounds: structure, stability, and biological significance
Authors: Aziz Kwestan N. , Ahmed Karzan Mahmood , Omer Rebaz A. , Qader Aryan F. , Abdulkareem Eman I.
Published: August 2024

Coordination compounds are molecules that contain one or more metal centers bound to ligands. Ligands can be atoms, ions, or molecules that transfer electrons to the metal. These compounds can be charged or neutral. When charged, neighboring counter-ions help stabilize the complex. The metal ion is located at the center of a complex ion, surrounded by other molecules or ions known as ligands. Ligands can be thought of as covalently bonded to the core ion through coordination. Understanding coordination theory in chemistry provides insight into the geometric shape of complexes and the structure of coordination compounds, which consist of a central atom or molecule connected to surrounding atoms or compounds. Inorganic coordination compounds exhibit different properties and are used in synthesizing organic molecules. The coordination of chemicals is vital for the survival of living organisms. Metal complexes are also essential for various biological processes, with many enzymes, known as metalloenzymes, being composed of metal complexes. These metal complexes occur naturally.
In Memory of Tibor Frank (1948-2022)
Authors: Bollobás Enikő
Published: August 2024

First, a brief account of his family background: Tibor Frank came from a Jewish Hungarian family with a rich history. His ancestors included Mór Wahrmann, Hungary’s first Jewish member of Parliament after the 1867 Compromise, and the initiator of the unification of Pest, Buda and Óbuda in the Pest Parliament. At the beginning of the 2000s, on the initiative of Tibor Frank, a small street in Új- Lipótváros was named after Wahrmann (when it became clear that the street which had once borne his name, but had since become Victor Hugo Street, could not be returned to its original name). At the same time, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences established the Mór Wahrmann Award, and in 2009, a collection of Mór Wahrmann’s papers, collected meticulously by Tibor Frank, was published under the title Honszeretet és felekezeti hűség [Patriotism and Religious Loyalty], referring to the nineteenth-century politician’s fundamental position and the dual commitments that were central to his political activities. As Wahrmann wrote, “One cannot be a true patriot without being true to one’s creed, or a good citizen while neglecting religion. One’s ardent patriotism must go hand in hand with unbreakable loyalty and devotion to one’s faith.”
Theatre within the Theatre, Play within the Play— Self-Reflexivity in Jim Nolan’s Blackwater Angel
Authors: Bertha Csilla
Published: August 2024

Jim Nolan’s Blackwater Angel (2001) employs a metadramatic approach, intertwining two types of play-within-the-play to enhance self-reflexivity. The external play portrays the fate of seventeenth-century healer Valentine Greatrakes, evoking the concept of theatrum mundi, while the inset play, The Broken Heart, influences the main characters and plot. Boundaries between the two plays blur as characters interact, emphasizing role-playing within and outside of theatrical reality. This dual reality reflects Ubersfeld's notion of theatre as a "(two-fold) referent," embodying both physical presence and symbolic representation. Play-within-the-play serves as a meta-theatrical strategy, facilitating self-reflection and exploration of identity, particularly relevant in the postmodern era's emphasis on intertextuality and self-reference.
“The Book Of eternal brass”: The Bible and the Laws in William Blake’s The [First] Book of Urizen and Emanuel Swedenborg’s The Last Judgment
Authors: Spalovszky Csaba József
Published: August 2024

William Blake was an artist and thinker whose character was as controversial as it was misunderstandable, even in his own time, let alone after his death. His works reflect a philosophical and theological system that is very diff erent from what we are used to in connection with the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, more precisely, from our usual assumptions about the periods of the Enlightenment and Romanticism. The universe he created out of contemporary and earlier philosophical systems, the influence of religious movements like the Moravians and theologians like Emanuel Swedenborg or thinkers like Johann Kaspar Lavater, together with his own personal faith and idiosyncratic interpretations, might seem to be chaotic: a form of disorder, at least for the fi rst encounter. However, this apparent disorder is not a chaos, but the result of a new way of seeing the world, which is grounded in a unique understanding of the relationship between language and thinking.
Hugh MacDiarmid’s Influence on the Scottish Literary Revival
Authors: Szamosi Gertrúd
Published: August 2024

The interwar period of national revival produced a great variety of literary, critical, social, political and philosophical writings that have commonly been referred to as “The Scottish Renaissance.” The term was first used in its new sense in the first issueof The Scottish Chapbook of August 1922, published by Christopher Murray Grieve,better known by his pen name, Hugh MacDiarmid. In comparison with earlier attempts to renew Scottish culture, the single most distinctive feature of this movement was the belief that “there could be no regeneration of the nation’s artistic culture which did not also involve the regeneration of the social, economic and political life of the nation”(McCulloch xiii).
Desenvolvendo a autonomia do aprendiz de inglês como L2/LE com o auxílio da técnica da sala de aula invertida
Authors: Santana Ofugi Mariana , Janaina Figueredo Carla
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar se e como o trabalho com a sala de aula invertida (SAI), uma técnica de ensino que pressupõe que os alunos estudem previamente o material a ser discutido em sala, utilizando-se, por exemplo, de vídeos passados pelo professor, pode auxiliar os aprendizes de inglês como L2/LE a se tornarem mais autônomos. O estudo em questão é um estudo de caso qualitativo realizado no Centro de Línguas da Universidade Federal de Goiás, e que contou com a participação de quatorze aprendizes e a professora-pesquisadora. Os instrumentos de pesquisa utilizados foram um questionário, gravação de três aulas completas em vídeo, uma entrevista realizada com os aprendizes ao final da pesquisa e notas de campo da professora-pesquisadora. Os resultados mostraram indícios significativos de autonomia por parte dos aprendizes após o trabalho com a SAI.
Turbilhão de palavras
Authors: Luiza Ramazzina Ghirardi Ana
Published: August 2024

A utilização da língua materna em cursos de língua estrangeira representa ainda hoje um tema polêmico, presente nas discussões de professores e pesquisadores. Esse artigo discute criticamente as principais posições nesse debate a partir de um estudo empírico e do exame do repertório conceitual que ele articula. Em um primeiro momento, o artigo oferece um breve panorama do papel do uso da língua materna no ensino de língua estrangeira ao longo do tempo para, logo após, examinar conceitos que estruturam essa discussão. Em seguida, a partir de uma sondagem feita com professores de francês língua estrangeira (FLE) na cidade de São Paulo, o artigo examina diferentes posicionamentos quanto ao uso da língua materna no ensino de língua francesa para um público de aprendizes cuja língua materna é a mesma para aprendizes e docentes. A análise lança mão dos conceitos de interlíngua e de plurilinguismo das contribuições de Germain, Puren e Castellotti. O Quadro Europeu Comum de Referência representará também objeto dessa reflexão.

Diagnóstico da alfabetização de crianças e possibilidades pedagógicas
Authors: Rodrigues Silva Wagner , De Oliveira Freitas Mirella , Monteiro Lima Santos Marquiane
Published: August 2024

Diagnosticamos conhecimentos de textualidade e do sistema de escrita da língua portuguesa, apreendidos por estudantes do 2º ano do Ensino Fundamental, numa escola pública brasileira. Apresentamos alguns encaminhamentos didático-metodológicos a partir do uso de textos de tradição oral como possível recurso para se alfabetizar a partir de práticas de escrita características de contextos sociais que estão além dos limites físicos da escola. Textos dessa natureza são lúdicos e inserem-se naturalmente no universo infantil. A relação afetiva que as crianças estabelecem com esses textos pode servir como estímulo e ser determinante no uso desse recurso na alfabetização. O diagnóstico apontou para várias associações improdutivas realizadas pelos alunos entre a oralidade da língua materna e a escrita.
Formação de professores de língua portuguesa e a importância de conceitos-chave para seu desenvolvimento
Authors: Carnin Anderson , Maria de Mattos Guimarães Ana
Published: August 2024

O artigo explora a noção de modelo didático de gênero enquanto ferramenta didática e dispositivo de formação, enfatizando a relação entre a dimensão da genericidade e da textualidade presentes nesse construto advindo do campo da engenharia didática. Analisando um modelo didático do gênero “artigo midiático de divulgação científica” produzido por uma professora de Língua Portuguesa em formação continuada, aventa-se a hipótese de que o trabalho sistemático com e a elaboração de modelos didáticos de gênero pode fornecer benefícios ao trabalho e desenvolvimento profissional do professor, especialmente ao considerar-se a racionalização e explicitação necessárias à construção de um modelo didático coerente com princípios interacionistas sociodiscursivos. Conclui-se que a modelização didática de gêneros de texto, que alia o domínio da textualidade ao da genericidade, não deve ser descuidado do universo de práticas sociais de referência quando se trata de didatizar um determinado gênero de texto.
A abordagem das atividades de leitura em língua espanhola nos semestres iniciais

Published: August 2024

A leitura é um dos aspectos do ensino da língua espanhola que vem sendo privilegiada em sala de aula nos últimos anos. É, portanto, inquestionável o valor que alberga a leitura para que os indivíduos possam se desenvolver nas suas práticas sociais e na interação em língua estrangeira, sobretudo, com o crescente estudo sobre o letramento. O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar considerando o arcabouço teórico de GRIGOLLETO (1999), do MCER (2002) e de SÁNCHEZ MIGUEL; GARCÍA PÉREZ; ROSALES PARDO (2012) como as atividades de leitura costumam ser trabalhadas nos semestres iniciais, tendo em vista que o espanhol e o português são línguas emparentadas. Analisou-se o livro Nuevo Avance, utilizado na extensão de nossa universidade. Verificou-se que a maioria das atividades neste nível explora somente a compreensão superficial, negligenciando atividades de leitura que contemplem os níveis profundo e crítico.
Configuração do valor de número gramatical em português língua estrangeira
Authors: Nhatuve Diocleciano , Roselene Bwetenga Tsitsi
Published: August 2024

Este artigo pretende identificar as estratégias de configuração do valor de número plural no estabelecimento da concordância sintática e verificar a relação entre os desvios e as manifestações das fases de interlíngua. São analisadas estruturas sintáticas desviantesextraídas de textos escritos por aprendizes de Português Língua Estrangeira (PLE) do 2º ano em exames da disciplina de português. Com base numa abordagem mista, o estudo revela que,na concordância nominal, o grupo alvo recorre à marcação do plural apenas nos núcleos, tendência diferente das que foram verificadas no português europeu, brasileiro e africano. A semelhança com estas variedades registra-se na concordância verbal em que igualmente se indica a marca do plural apenas no núcleo nominal. No entanto, o grupo alvo também tende a marcar o plural apenas no verbo em relação com um nome coletivo. Neste âmbito, os desvios registrados até ao segundo ano são, de forma geral, manifestações das fases de interlíngua.
On Fran Kurelac and Slovaks
Authors: Blažencová Ľubica , Šabić Marijan
Published: August 2024

Enclosed are two letters that Fran Kurelac sent from Pest to Bratislava in 1836 and 1837 to his peer, Slovak revivalist Alexander Boleslavín Vrchovský. Numerous studies have been written about the life and work of philologist and writer Fran Kurelac (1811 – 1874), one of the pioneers of the Croatian national revival. In view of the fact that he only published his first noteworthy text in a Croatian periodical in April 1848, when he was already 37 years old, few of Kurelac’s biographers had the ambition to paint as complete and well-rounded a picture of him as possible. The main subject of the interpretation of these letters is Fran Kurelac’s relationship to the Slovak cultural and political situation at the time. He strongly advocated for the unity of linguistically and religiously divided Slovak intellectuals. The linguistic situation among the Slovaks at the time when these two letters were written was characterised by the coexistence of Slovak, Czech, and other languages, which was reflected above all in the lexical fund. Considering the fact that the Czech language was not yet fully standardised and there were different tendencies in its standardisation, we also find at least three variants in its use among the Slovaks. Kurelac’s letters are written in a special, interesting, and clearly bohemianised variant of the Slovak language, influenced by the language of Ján Kollár’s literary works.
Na sjecištima prava i književnosti
Authors: Lujanović Nebojša , Nedić Tomislav
Published: August 2024

Iz perspektive prava i književnosti, dva koautora rada, jedan s matičnim područjem prava, drugi teorije književnosti, u ovom radu promatraju književnu implementaciju problema privatnog prava, to jest kako različiti entiteti i sustavi sužavaju pravne sfere. Odabrana su tri romana (1984 autora Georgea Orwella, Planet Friedman autora Josipa Mlakića te Corpus delicti Juli Zeh), i to primjenjujući upravo kriterij pripadanja različitim vremenima i kontekstima, kako bi se, nakon analize problema privatnog prava u svakom posebno, komparativnom analizom ustvrdilo kako se premješta fokus na različite entitete koji predstavljaju prijetnju privatnoj sferi. Tu je uočena povezanost s kretanjima u samom političkom, pravnom, društvenom i kulturnom kontekstu tijekom istog perioda, potvrđujući ponovno narativnu taktiku distopije kao žanra koji probleme sadašnjosti maskira kao probleme budućnosti. Iz tih razloga je problem ili cilj istraživanja izveden iz moguće usporednosti promjena fokusa narativnih strategija triju romana te društvenih promjena koje su obilježile kontekst istih tih naracija. Tako postavljeno istraživačko pitanje nametnulo je metodološki pristup koji uključuje saznanja iz područja prava i književnosti, ali isto tako i sociologije književnosti i diskurzivne analize. Rad je stoga rezultirao uočavanjem visokog stupnja usporednosti ili povezanosti književnih (distopijskih) i izvanknjiževnih tretmana problema privatnog prava.
Environmental Topics in Contemporary Croatian Dystopian Proseand Prose with Dystopian Elements
Authors: Rezo Vladimira
Published: August 2024

Important ecological topics: climate change, pollution of air, water and soil, extinction of plant and animal species and food as a basic human need are in the corpus of dystopian texts and those with dystopian elements. The dystopian component in all of them belongs to the second wave of dystopian fiction (Matus 2009: 7). The corpus consists of a novella “White Promenade” (“Bijela promenada”, 2016) by Ed Barol and eight novels: Battlefield Istria (Bojno polje Istra, 2007) by Danilo Brozović, Centimeter from the Happiness (Centimetar od sreće, 2008) by Marinko Koščec, 2084: House of Great Misery (2084: Kuća Velikog Jada, 2012) by Ivo Balenović, Planet Friedman (2012) by Josip Mlakić, Romeo at the End of the History (Romeo na kraju povijesti, 2015) by Aljoša Babić, War for the Fifth Taste (Rat za peti okus, 2015) by Veljko Barbieri, Dedivination (Dedivinacija, 2018) by Jelena Hrvoj, and Crab’s Children (Rakova djeca, 2019) by Dalibor Perković. The theoretical perspective in the paper is ecocritical: aspects of the relationship between man and the nature that surrounds him are investigated, i.e. to what extent man perceives nature and its inhabitants as equal to himself. The last chapter gives an insight into the results and solutions that some authors offer as a way out of cataclysmic situations, and the meaning and efficiency of these solutions are valued from an ecocritical point of view.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health recommend distance, hygiene, and the use of masks in the fight against epidemics. Therefore, everyone from children to the elderly, from healthy people to all individuals with chronic diseases must wear a mask while performing their daily activities. After the activities they perform at a slow or fast rhythm, they rest in a mask. Therefore, the study aimed to examine the effect of surgical mask use on recovery heart rate during gradually increasing walking. Nine healthy university students without chronic diseases and orthopedic disorders participated in the study voluntarily. Participants performed a gradually increasing walking protocol on a treadmill with and without surgical masks on two different days at least 48 hours apart, and then recovered in a sitting position for 10 minutes, again with and without masks. Data on body temperature, blood pressure (BP), blood lactate level (LA), heart rate (HR), total quality of recovery (TQR), and borg-breathlessness (B-B) were collected. No statistically significant differences were found between unmasked and masked body temperature, lactate level, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, mean recovery HR, end-of-recovery HR, and total heart rate. On the other hand, breathlessness was felt more in masked recovery compared to unmasked recovery and total quality of recovery was felt lower. As a result; it can be said that the use of surgical masks during gradually increasing walking affects the participants psychologically, although it does not affect them physiologically in recovery.

Published: August 2024

The aim of this study is to thoroughly examine the physical fitness assessment methods used in the armed forces of various countries and to evaluate the physical fitness criteria necessary for military personnel to maintain their operational capabilities and overall health. Within the scope of the research, physical fitness assessment tests used in the armed forces of 17 countries, including the United States, Germany, Australia, Austria, the Czech Republic, China, Finland, France, Georgia, Canada, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Israel, Sweden, Latvia, Russia, and Turkey, were examined. It was observed that the tests aim to determine the soldiers' muscle strength, aerobic capacity, endurance, and overall physical fitness status. Additionally, it was found that while the physical fitness test and evaluation criteria applied by these countries vary, their fundamental purposes in practice are similar. Research has shown that maintaining physical fitness levels results in increased resilience of soldiers against problems and difficulties they may face in combat conditions, contributing to operational success. In this context, it is of great importance for national armies to continue and enhance their physical fitness programs. Moreover, it is essential to systematically review and update physical fitness test evaluations in accordance with scientific advancements, which will contribute to varying operational requirements in the armies. In conclusion, maintaining and improving physical fitness levels is a critical factor for the operational success of soldiers. Therefore, it should be regularly monitored and enhanced. This research aims to emphasize the importance of physical fitness test evaluations applied in national armies and contribute to the development of related studies. By sharing the practices implemented, it aims to take significant steps internationally towards enhancing soldiers' physical capacities.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: Psychopathic traits harm the professional development and interpersonal relations of the general population, including healthcare professionals. This can be seen not only in already licensed physicians, but it may also be evidenced since their formative years as medical students. Objective: To evaluate the presence of psychopathic traits in a sample of Peruvian medical students and determining whether there is an association between sociodemographic and mental health (depression and anxiety) characteristics on the levels of psychopathic traits. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 497 students of a Peruvian medical school. Through online questionnaires, the following instruments were self-administered: Levenson Self-Report Psychopathy Scale (LSRP), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7). Results: 19.7% of the participants were in the psychopathic group. The variables associated with a higher frequency of belonging to the psychopathic group were male sex (aPR = 2.10, 95% CI: 1.58-2.79, p < 0.05), having clinically relevant depressive (aPR = 2.05, 95% CI: 1.41-2.96, p < 0.05) and anxious symptoms (aPR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.01-2.09, p < 0.05). Conclusions: Medical students of the sample studied show a high prevalence of psychopathy traits. The variables associated with a higher frequency of belonging to the psychopathic group were male sex, having clinically relevant depressive symptoms, and anxiety symptoms. More involvement on behalf of the medical school is necessary as to the identification of the psychopathic traits in medical students.

Authors: Infante Varillas Stefany Fiorella , Reategui Díaz Fabio Marcelo
Published: August 2024

Introducción. Las células dendríticas (CD) desempeñan un papel clave en la presentación antigénica y la activación de linfocitos T, pero su función puede ser modulada por el microambiente tumoral, lo que afecta la respuesta inmunitaria antitumoral. Este estudio se centra en la interacción entre las CD y el hepatocarcinoma (HCC), explorando cómo el entorno tumoral influye en la actividad de las CD. Objetivo. Evaluar la variación en la actividad de las CD en respuesta a la expresión de citoquinas proinflamatorias, IL-10 y receptores CXCR4 y CCR7 en un modelo murino de hepatocarcinoma (PM299L). Métodos. Se realizaron ensayos in vitro cocultivando CD murinas y una línea tumoral murina de HCC. Se evaluó la expresión de citoquinas proinflamatorias (IL-12, IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α), inmunosupresora (IL-10) y receptores asociados a migración y maduración (CXCR4 y CCR7) mediante Qpcr a las 24, 48 y 72 horas. Los ensayos se repitieron tres veces. Resultados. Las CD expuestas al entorno tumoral de HCC mostraron una mayor expresión de citoquinas proinflamatorias y IL-10 en comparación al grupo control. Además, se observó una expresión elevada de receptores CXCR4 y CCR7 en las CD expuestas al HCC. Estos cambios en la expresión de genes ocurrieron en un período de 72 horas de cocultivo. Conclusión. La actividad de las CD se ve influenciada por el entorno tumoral de HCC y el tiempo de interacción, lo que modula su función proinflamatoria y de presentación antigénica. Estos hallazgos destacan la importancia de comprender la dinámica de la respuesta inmunitaria en el hepatocarcinoma.

Published: August 2024

Se presenta el caso de un paciente varón de 23 años que desde los 16 años cursó síntomas de hipertiroidismo. A los 17 años presentó sintomatología por exceso de la hormona de crecimiento. Se realizó una resonancia magnética de hipófisis encontrándose un adenoma pituitario de 7 cm x 8 cm x 5 cm. El paciente recibió tratamiento quirúrgico con hallazgos posoperatorios de adenoma plurihormonal con componentes de adenoma somatotropo, lactotropo y tirotrófico. Los tumores neuroendocrinos de la pituitaria pueden presentar biomarcadores de agresividad que los pueden hacer refractarios como el caso presentado. A futuro, la detección de mutaciones en factores de transcripción como el origen del exceso de producción uni o plurihormonal puede llevar a un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno.

Introducción. Los integrones presentes en Vibrio cholerae son de interés en salud pública debido a su relación con la multirresistencia a los antimicrobianos. Objetivo. Realizar una caracterización molecular, establecer la presencia de integrones y evaluar la resistencia antimicrobiana de cepas de Vibrio cholerae de origen clínico y ambiental aisladas en Perú durante los años 1991 al 2019. Métodos. Se evaluaron 34 cepas de Vibrio cholerae de origen clínico y ambiental aisladas durante los años 1991 - 2019. Todas las cepas fueron reactivadas, luego sembradas en TCBS y en medios diferenciales para su identificación taxonómica. Se realizó un antibiograma a todas las cepas según el método disco difusión utilizando 16 antimicrobianos de uso clínico. Se procedió a la extracción del ADN genómico, luego se realizó la caracterización molecular por PCR y posteriormente los productos amplificados de las integrasas fueron secuenciados. Resultados. Todas las cepas evaluadas mostraron sensibilidad de 100% (n=34) para FEP, CTX, CAZ, CIP y CN. Los antimicrobianos que exhibieron mayor resistencia fueron AMPR [26,5% (n=9)] y FZR [23,5% (n=8)]. En el presente estudio se establecieron 8 antibiotipos. Todas las cepas presentaron el gen intl4, excepto las de origen ambiental. Todas las integrasas de tipo IV tuvieron alta homología. Conclusión. Vibrio cholerae presenta un incremento en la resistencia antimicrobiana. El serogrupo O1 tuvo presencia de la integrasa de clase IV, así como una alta homología.
