‘Show me what it’s supposed to look like’: Exploring mindfulness-based support for early career teachers in an era of neoliberal reform
Authors: Damico Nicole , McKinzie Bennett Caitlyn , Fulchini Angelica
Published: April 2018

In an era of top-down mandates and neoliberal reform policies, early career teachers must receive sustained social and emotional support as part of their regular professional development in order to navigate the murky waters of education that can sometimes feel disempowering and disillusioning. Teachers in high-poverty urban schools, who often deal with additional variables like student achievement gaps, disparate funding and high teacher turnover, among myriad other hurdles, are often highly impacted by these policies. This study examined the experiences of a group of early career teachers in an urban school district that participated in a mindfulness-based professional learning intervention. Findings show that participants not only experienced increased self-efficacy in assuaging personal and professional stressors, but also connected newly acquired strategies to the ways they supported the diverse students in their classrooms. Implications from this study suggest that learning about mindfulness-based strategies in an informal group setting can be beneficial for teachers, both personally and professionally, as they navigate the tensions of beginning their careers embedded in “the neoliberal program of reform”.
Exploring the Links Between Parent–Student Conversations About College, Academic Self-Concepts, and Grades for First-Generation College Students
Authors: Covarrubias Rebecca , Jones James , Johnson Rosalind
Published: April 2018

Two studies examined the link between academic self-concepts and grades (Studies 1 and 2) for first-generation (i.e., parents have not obtained a 4-year degree) and continuing-generation (i.e., at least one parent with a 4-year degree) college students, and how parent–student conversations about college related to this link (Study 2). In Study 1, based on online surveys with 102 students, we found self-concepts were positively related to grades for all students. Yet, first-generation students reported less positive self-concepts than continuing-generation students. Study 2 replicated Study 1 findings with 169 students and also revealed that first-generation students reported having less conversations about college with parents than continuing-generation students. For first-generation students, conversations about college predicted more positive self-concepts, which predicted higher grades. Conversations about college were unrelated to self-concepts and grades for continuing-generation students. The findings from this work have important implications for university practice and retention around providing support for first-generation college students.
Self-Determination Theory in Human Resource Development: New Directions and Practical Considerations
Authors: Rigby C. Scott , Ryan Richard M.
Published: April 2018

The Problem

There has been a “Copernican turn” in approaches to motivation and management: The focus in human resource development (HRD) and management circles today is no longer on how companies can motivate or incentivize employees from the outside, but instead on how they can effectively foster and support the high-quality motivation that comes from within employees. Developing affective commitment and intrinsic motivation is highlighted as a key to organizational success and employee satisfaction.

The Solution

In this article, we review our applications of self-determination theory (SDT; Ryan & Deci, 2017) concerning how organizations can both assess and build a culture of high-quality motivation. We review a continuum of types of motivation in the workplace that range from passive or controlled compliance to personal valuing of and intrinsic interest in one’s work. We then discuss how support for employees’ basic psychological needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness leads to these higher quality types of motivation. Evidence shows that enhanced need satisfaction can come from managerial climate, job design, and well-crafted compensation strategies, as well as being influenced by the perceived mission of the company. A focus on basic needs provides a practical basis for leveraging positive change and achieving goals from talent retention to workplace wellness.

The Stakeholders

This article was written to help both researchers and practitioners in HRD (i.e., organizational leaders, human resource professionals, managers) learn the basic principles and applications of SDT as a means of unlocking a more practical and actionable model for engagement and motivation. This review not only translates SDT into practice, opening opportunity for collaboration between researchers and practitioners, but also provides meaningful insight into sustained employee motivation and engagement, job satisfaction, and productivity.

Published: April 2018

Purpose: To report the initial clinical results of endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) using the low-profile (14-F) Altura Endograft System, which features a double “D-shaped” stent design with suprarenal fixation and modular iliac components that are deployed from distal to proximal. Methods: From 2011 to 2015, 90 patients (mean age 72.8±8.3 years; 79 men) with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA; mean diameter 53.8±5.7 mm) were treated at 10 clinical sites in 2 prospective, controlled clinical studies using the Altura endograft. Outcomes evaluated included mortality, major adverse events (MAEs: all-cause death, stroke, paraplegia, myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, bowel ischemia, and blood loss ≥1000 mL), and clinical success (freedom from procedure-related death, type I/III endoleak, migration, thrombosis, and reintervention). Results: Endografts were successfully implanted in 89 (99%) patients; the single failure was due to delivery system malfunction before insertion in the early-generation device. One (1%) patient died and 4 patients underwent reinterventions (1 type I endoleak, 2 iliac limb stenoses, and 1 endograft occlusion) within the first 30 days. During a median follow-up of 12.5 months (range 11.5–50.9), there were no aneurysm ruptures, surgical conversions, or AAA-related deaths. The cumulative MAE rates were 3% (3/89) at 6 months and 7% (6/89) at 1 year. Two patients underwent coil embolization of type II endoleaks at 6.5 months and 2.2 years, respectively. Clinical success was 94% (84/89) at 30 days, 98% (85/87) at 6 months, and 99% (82/83) at 1 year. Conclusion: Early results suggest that properly selected AAA patients can be safely treated using the Altura Endograft System with favorable midterm outcome. Thus, further clinical investigation is warranted to evaluate the role of this device in the treatment of AAA.

Authors: Paul Serene Sulyn , Dibble Leland E. , Walther Raymond G. , Shelton Clough , Gurgel Richard Klaus , Lester Mark Eric
Published: April 2018

Background. Individuals with unilateral vestibular hypofunction (UVH) alter their movement and reduce mobility to try to stabilize their gaze and avoid symptoms of dizziness and vertigo. Objective. To determine if individuals with UVH 6 weeks after surgery demonstrate altered head and trunk kinematics during community ambulation. Methods. A total of 15 vestibular schwannoma patients with documented postoperative unilateral vestibular loss and 9 healthy controls with symmetrical vestibulo-ocular reflexes participated in this cross-sectional study. Head kinematics (head turn frequency, amplitude, and velocity) and head-trunk coordination during community ambulation were obtained from inertial measurement units for all head movements and within specific amplitudes of head movement. Results. Individuals with UVH made smaller (mean 26° [SD = 3°] vs 32° [SD = 6°]), fewer (mean 133 [SD = 59] vs 221 [SD = 64]), and slower (mean 75°/s [SD = 8°/s] vs 103°/s [SD = 23°/s]) head turns than healthy individuals ( P < .05) but did not demonstrate significantly increased head-trunk coupling (mean 38% [SD = 18%] vs 31% [SD = 11%], P = .22). When small (≤45°) and large (>45°) head turns were considered separately, individuals with UVH demonstrated increased head-trunk coupling compared with healthy individuals for large head turns (mean 54% [SD = 23%] vs 33% [SD = 10%], P = .005). Conclusions. This study demonstrated that although walking at an adequate speed, individuals with UVH made fewer, smaller, and slower head movements symmetrically in both directions compared with healthy individuals and did not decouple their head movement relative to their trunk when required to make larger purposeful head turns during community ambulation.

Published: April 2018

Data sharing of de-identified individual participant data is being adopted by an increasing number of sponsors of human clinical trials. In addition to standardizing data syntax for shared trial data, semantic integration of various data elements is the focus of several initiatives that define research common data elements. This perspective article, in the first part, compares several data sharing platforms for de-identified clinical research data in terms of their size, policies and supported features. In the second part, we use a case study approach to describe in greater detail one data sharing platform (Data Share from National Institute of Drug Abuse). We present data on the past use of the platform, data formats offered, data de-identification approaches and its use of research common data elements. We conclude with a summary of current and expected future trends that facilitate secondary research use of data from completed human clinical trials.
A segmental evaluation model for determining residual rail service life based on a discrete-state conditional probabilistic method
Authors: Bai Wenfei , Sun Quanxin , Wang Futian , Liu Rengkui , An Ru
Published: April 2018

Because steel rail is one of the most fundamental components of railway operations, the accurate estimation of residual rail service life is of great significance in ensuring the safe operation of railways. In addition, maintenance expenses must be minimized in a manner that allows limited railroad resources to be optimally allotted. In this study, the typical types of continuous rail segments on a rail line are classified into non-sharply curved rail segments and sharply curved rail segments. Using these classifications, a model for estimating the residual service lives of rail segments using a discrete-state conditional probability method is proposed based on an analysis of rail deterioration characteristics. The model considers several heterogeneous factors to determine their influence on the deterioration process and is shown to be capable of estimating the residual service lives of rail segments. Finally, the model is validated through a case study of the Beijing Metro, using inspection records of rail defects in conjunction with heterogeneous factor data to predict the service life of the rail, which is then compared with its actual service life. The model is found to show good agreement with the rail inspection and maintenance records of the Beijing Metro, indicating its appropriateness for use by railroad management in allocating future rail maintenance resources.
Prior Year’s Predictors of Eighth-Grade Algebra Achievement
Authors: Liang Jian-Hua , Heckman Paul E. , Abedi Jamal
Published: April 2018

This study examines the power of cognitive and noncognitive variables to predict students’ performance in algebra. We investigated students’ prior year’s assessment scores and demographic characteristics to predict eighth-grade algebra scores. Using California statewide assessment data, we explored predictive factors in three regression models. These analyses reveal that the seventh-grade mathematics test scores account for 61% of the variance in eighth graders’ algebra test scores. Analyzing subscores of the seventh-grade mathematics test, the assessment content focus of rational numbers is a major predictor, contributing 48% of the variance in eighth graders’ algebra test scores. On the other hand, students’ demographic variables show little predictive power for eighth-grade algebra scores. This study provides empirical evidence for understanding the factors that impact a student’s success in learning algebra.

Published: April 2018

Using the School Counselor Leadership Survey and the School Counselor Involvement in Partnerships Survey, this study of 546 school counselors explored which of the 5 school counselor leadership dimensions were associated with involvement in school–family–community partnerships. A hierarchical multiple linear regression analysis revealed that the leadership dimension that predicted counselor partnership involvement was systemic collaboration along with self-efficacy and role perceptions about partnerships, collaborative climate, and principal expectations. The authors discuss practice and training implications for school counselors.
Latent Sexism in Print Ads Increases Acceptance of Sexual Assault
Authors: Reichl Arleigh J. , Ali Jordan I. , Uyeda Kristina
Published: April 2018

In addition to the more obvious forms of sexism in advertising, media critics and scholars raise concerns about various forms of nonobvious, or latent, sexism (e.g., “dismembered” body parts; makeup possibly resembling a bruise; women in potentially dangerous locations; bodies decorated as products). There is, however, no evidence that the public considers these ads sexist or is affected by them. To determine whether ads promote sexism even if the content is not identified as sexist, participants were exposed to ads containing no sexism, overt sexism, or latent sexism (i.e., content considered sexist by media experts, but not identified as sexist by a lay sample) and then read two vignettes describing incidents of sexual assault and sexual coercion. Participants exposed to ads with latent sexism showed greater acceptance of the sexual assault than did those in the no sexism ad condition and in the overt sexism ad condition. Regarding the sexual coercion vignette, latent sexism did not have the same effects; instead, participants exposed to ads with overt sexism were less likely to minimize the seriousness of the incident than participants in the other ad conditions. Therefore, acceptance of sexual assault can be increased by sexist content in ads even if the content is not identified as sexist. In fact, the evidence suggests that the types of latent sexism in this study produce more deleterious effects than sexism that is easily recognized.
Is There an Export- or Import-led Growth in BRICS Countries? An Empirical Investigation
Authors: Rani Ritu , Kumar Naresh
Published: April 2018

At present, BRICS encompass 40 percent of the world’s population and account for nearly 30 percent of total global GDP in terms of purchasing power parity (PPP). This is the reason that the balance of global economic power is now shifting from United States and Europe to a number of fast growing and large developing countries like BRICS. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between export, import and economic growth in BRICS (especially Brazil, India and South Africa) using panel data from 1967 to 2014. The article applied the Pedroni’s panel co-integration test, fully modified ordinary least square (FMOLS), dynamic ordinary least square, and vector error correction model. The results of Pedroni’s co-integration test indicate that there exists long-run relationship between export, import, gross capital formation, and economic growth. In addition, bidirectional causality was found between export and economic growth, validating the export-led growth (ELG) and growth-led export (GLE) hypothesis. Moreover, the results of FMOLS imply that 1 percent increase in export will lead to a 0.44 percent increase in GDP per capita in the long-run. The study suggests that studied nations of BRICS should focus on export promotion strategy to reduce current account deficit.
Foot Kinematics Differ Between Runners With and Without a History of Navicular Stress Fractures
Authors: Becker James , James Stanley , Osternig Louis , Chou Li-Shan
Published: April 2018

Background:

A navicular stress fracture (NSF) is a common and high-risk injury in distance runners. It is not clear whether there are differences in foot structure and function between runners who have and those who have not sustained an NSF.

Purpose/Hypothesis:

This study compared foot structure, range of motion, and biomechanics between runners with a history of unilateral NSFs and runners who had never sustained this injury. The hypothesis was that runners with a history of NSFs will have less dorsiflexion and subtalar range of motion in a clinical examination and greater rearfoot eversion and higher eversion velocity while running than either the noninvolved feet or healthy controls.

Study Design:

Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.

Methods:

Seven runners who sustained an NSF were matched with 7 controls without this injury history. Participants underwent a clinical orthopaedic examination, followed by a 3-dimensional running gait analysis. Clinical examination variables, foot kinematics, and ground-reaction forces were compared between injured and noninjured feet within the NSF group and between the NSF group and control group.

Results:

The NSF group demonstrated less plantar flexion on the clinical examination than the control group ( P = .034, effect size [ES] = 0.69). The involved feet of the NSF group demonstrated greater rearfoot eversion excursion, greater eversion velocity, and reduced forefoot abduction excursion than either the noninvolved feet of the NSF group ( P = .015, ES = 1.73; P = .015, ES = 1.86; and P = .015, ES = 0.96, respectively) or the control group ( P = .012, ES = 1.40; P = .016, ES = 0.49; and P = .005, ES = 1.60, respectively).

Conclusion:

There are differences in foot kinematics but not ground-reaction forces, foot structure, or passive range of motion between runners who have and those who have not sustained an NSF. Runners who demonstrate increased rearfoot eversion and reduced forefoot abduction during stance may be more at risk for developing NSFs.
It Starts Early: Toward a Longitudinal Analysis of Interracial Intimacy
Authors: Shiao Jiannbin Lee
Published: April 2018

Researchers regard interracial intimacy as a mechanism for integration because of the assumption that the partners come from distinct social worlds (e.g., racially homogeneous friendship networks). Using the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health), the author investigates the relationship between interracial friendship and interracial intimacy, specifically the question of how young adults’ chances of having an interracial romantic relationship depend on the racial composition of their friends during adolescence and their exposure to interracial relationships among these friends. The author finds that early interracial friendship remains a significant positive influence on the likelihood of subsequent interracial intimacy, even after controlling for opportunities for interracial friendship, personal characteristics, local variations in social distance, and selection effects. This suggests that a substantial fraction of interracial romantic relationships in early adulthood involve partners from social worlds that are already racially heterogeneous. Despite the robustness of this finding, there are also substantial variations in the magnitude of the association between interracial friendship and intimacy, which furthermore coexists with social distances larger than the effects of interracial friendships. In brief, the primary influence of interracial friendship may be to produce the perception of select individuals as exceptions to their respective race-gender groups.

Published: April 2018

Objective. To describe and quantify hearing impairment among children referred to the audiology clinic in Princess Marina Hospital, a public referral hospital in Botswana. Methods. In a retrospective case series, we reviewed medical records of children aged 10 years and younger whose hearing was assessed between January 2006 and December 2015 at the audiology clinic of Princess Marina Hospital in Gaborone, Botswana. Results. Of 622 children, 50% were male, and median age was 6.7 years (interquartile range = 5.0-8.3). Hearing impairment was diagnosed in 32% of clinic attendees, comprising sensorineural (23%), conductive (25%), and mixed (11%) hearing loss, while 41% of children with diagnosed hearing impairment did not have a classification type. Hearing impairment was mild in 22.9%, moderate in 22.4%, severe in 19.4%, profound in 16.9%, and of undocumented severity in 18.4%. Children younger than 5 years were 2.7 times (95% confidence interval = 1.29-5.49; P = .008) more likely to be diagnosed with sensorineural hearing impairment compared with those older than 5 years. By contrast, children older than 5 years were 9.6 times (95% confidence interval = 2.22-41.0; P = .002) more likely to be diagnosed with conductive hearing loss compared with those under 5 years. Conclusion. Hearing impairment was common among children referred to this audiology clinic in Botswana. Of those with hearing impairment, more than a third had moderate or severe deficits, suggesting that referrals for hearing assessments are not occurring early enough. Hearing awareness programs individually tailored to parents, educators, and health care workers are needed. Neonatal and school hearing screening programs would also be beneficial.

Published: April 2018

To understand the potential role of women in leadership positions, data from the American Board of Anesthesiology (ABA) were analyzed to explore the impact of women in the specialty of anesthesiology. The number of newly certified ABA diplomates, oral examiners, and directors from 1985 to 2015 was obtained from the ABA database. The percentages of women in each group were calculated for each year. Because it took an average of 10 years for a diplomate to become an oral examiner and an average of 7 years for an oral examiner to be elected as a director during the study period, the following percentages were compared: women oral examiners versus newly certified women diplomates 10 years prior and women directors versus women oral examiners 7 years prior. The correlation coefficients between the percentages of women oral examiners and of newly certified women diplomates 10 years prior and between the percentages of women directors and women oral examiners 7 years prior were calculated. From 1985 to 2015, the percentage of newly certified women diplomates increased from 15% to 38% with an average annual increase of 0.74%, percentage of women oral examiners increased from 8% to 26% with an average annual increase of 0.63%, and percentage of women directors increased from 8% to 25% with an average annual increase of 0.56%. The percentage of women examiners consistently lagged behind the percentage of women diplomates who were certified 10 years earlier; the average difference over 21 years from 1995 to 2015 was −3.7% with a standard deviation of 2.1%. The correlation coefficient between the percentages of women examiners and newly certified women diplomates 10 years earlier from 1995 to 2015 was 0.86 (P < .001). However, the percentage of women directors was generally higher than that of women examiners 7 years earlier; the average difference over 24 years from 1992 to 2015 was 3.5% with a standard deviation of 4.0%. The correlation coefficient between the percentages of women directors and women examiners 7 years prior from 1992 to 2015 was 0.86 (P < .001). The percentage of newly certified women diplomates, examiners, and directors increased steadily from 1985 to 2015. The percentage of women examiners lagged behind that of women diplomates 10 years prior from 1995 to 2015; however, the percentage of women directors was, on average, higher than that of the women examiners 7 years prior from 1992 to 2015.
Feedback between tissue packing and neurogenesis in the zebrafish neural tube

Published: April 2018

Balancing the rate of differentiation and proliferation in developing tissues is essential to produce organs of robust size and composition. Whilst many molecular regulators have been established, how these connect to physical and geometrical aspects of tissue architecture is poorly understood. Here, using high-resolution timelapse imaging, we find that changes to cell geometry associated with dense tissue packing play a significant role in regulating differentiation rate in the zebrafish neural tube. Specifically, progenitors that are displaced away from the apical surface due to crowding tend to differentiate, in a Notch-dependent manner. Using simulations we show that interplay between progenitor density, cell shape, and changes in differentiation rate could naturally result in negative feedback control on progenitor cell number. Given these results, we suggest a model whereby differentiation rate is regulated by density dependent effects on cell geometry to: 1) correct variability in cell number, and 2) balance the rates of proliferation and differentiation over development to “fill” the available space.
Lipid droplet consumption is functionally coupled to vacuole homeostasis independent of lipophagy

Published: April 2018

Lipid droplets (LDs) store neutral lipids and are integrated into a cellular metabolic network that relies on functional coupling with various organelles. Factors mediating efficient coupling and mechanisms regulating them remain unknown. Here, we conducted a global screen in S. cerevisiae to identify genes required for the functional coupling of LDs and other organelles during LD consumption. We show that LD utilization during growth resumption is coupled to vacuole homeostasis. ESCRT-, V-ATPase- and vacuole protein sorting-mutants negatively affect LD consumption, independent of lipophagy. Loss of ESCRT function leads to the accumulation of LD-derived diacylglycerol (DAG), preventing its conversion into phosphatidic acid (PA) and membrane lipids. In addition, channeling of DAG from LD-proximal sites to the vacuole is blocked. We demonstrate that utilization of LDs requires intact vacuolar signaling via TORC1 and its downstream effector Sit4p. These data suggest that vacuolar status is coupled to LD catabolism via TORC1-mediated regulation of DAG-PA interconversion and explain how cells coordinate organelle dynamics throughout cell growth.
Thermal strategies vary with life history stage

Published: April 2018

With both global surface temperatures and the incidence and intensity of extreme temperature events projected to increase, the assessment of species' sensitivity to chronic and acute changes in temperature has become crucial. Sensitivity predictions are based predominantly on adult responses, despite the fact that early life stages may be more vulnerable to thermal challenge. Here, we compared the sensitivity of different life history stages of the intertidal gastropod Littorina obtusata using thermal death time curves, which incorporate the intensity and duration of heat stress, and used these to calculate upper critical thermal limits (CTmax) and sensitivity to temperature change (z). Early (larval) life stages had both a lower CTmax and a lower z than adults, suggesting they are less good at withstanding short-term extreme thermal challenges but better able to survive moderate temperatures in the long term. This result supports the predicted trade-off between acute and chronic tolerance to thermal stress, and is consistent with the different thermal challenges that these stages encounter in the intertidal zone. We conclude that different life history stages employ different thermal strategies that may be adaptive. Our findings caution against the use of predictions of the impact of global warming that are based on only adult responses and, hence, which may underestimate vulnerability.

Published: April 2018

The article considers the linguistic methods and techniques used by the mass media as an effective way of manipulating the public consciousness. Today, the media apply a fairly wide range of methods of influencing the people’s consciousness, and here, first of all, it is necessary to highlight the transformation of the communicative-content side of information, emotional impact and, of course, the language methods of manipulation. The nature and the structural and functional features of the language impact of the media on public consciousness are determined in accordance with the set goals and the interests of the target audience. The forms of mass media’s language influencing the public consciousness include rhetoric, propaganda, language demagogy, and public relations. To affect the recipients of information the most well-known methods are brainwashing, suggestion, Neurolinguistic Programming, and language manipulation. Impact on the public consciousness in open and hidden forms with the help of language means is carried out through using many channels, the leading of which is the media system with printed and Internet publications, radio, television.
Methodical Approach to Developing a Marketing Strategy
Authors: Лукина Е. , Lukina E.
Published: April 2018

The dominant paradigm of strategic marketing is increasingly becoming the object of criticism and stimulates alternative approaches to selection or creation of the reference strategy. First of all, it is connected with the development of the resource concept of competitive advantages of enterprises and the new dominant logic of marketing, in which offers an innovative paradigm for managing development of business entities and promoting their products to target markets. The methodical approach for marketing strategy of a company formation, a concept of innovation potential of the company that distinguishes from the known fact that reflects not just the availability of the necessary resources for the implementation of innovation, and indicates the ability either to generate different types of innovation within the enterprise, or to borrow them from the outside is set out in this article. The reference to types of innovation is the author’s proposal; an advanced algorithm of marketing strategy formation, the author’s matrix of choice for marketing strategies and methods of evaluation of innovative potential of the enterprise as the basis of strategy selection is the part of it.

The article discusses the construction of identity in the novel A Journey with Rupert by Brazilian writer Salim Miguel in relation to the problems of migration and multiculturalism. The analysis focuses on the aspects which determine the double identity of the immigrant characters: the culture of the native country in comparison to that of the foreign country; religious beliefs; family relations models; the diaspora experience (both empirical and mental) by different generations of immigrants; the preservation or alteration of the mother tongue at the contact with the new linguistic reality; the dialogue between the immigrants’ little narratives and the grand narrative of Brazil.

THE SILENCE IN THE PAGES OF NEW PORTUGUESE LETTERS (MARIA ISABEL BARRENO, MARIA TERESA HORTA AND MARIA VELHO DA COSTA) AND IN THE MONOCHROMATIC IMAGERY OF HELENA ALMEIDA – AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PERSPECTIVE

It is with greatest expression that, in the 1970s, the Portuguese female authors begin to claim a social space and a voice of their own, mostly through literature but also, even though more occasionally, in the field of visual arts. Dancing and creating from and around silence, they try to break free from it in order to broaden the horizons of a feminine worldview – and at the forefront of this cultural battle cannot go unnoticed names like Maria Isabel Barreno, Maria Teresa Horta, Maria Velho da Costa (the Three Marys) or Helena Almeida, stretching the threads of the ball that would allow them to get to the weaving of a new collective discourse and to participate in it with a relevant and compelling originality.

THE MAINTENANCE OF THE CLASSICAL PERSPECTIVE ON LANGUAGE AS AN OBSTACLE TO THE MORPHOLOGICAL STUDIES

We see, in linguistics, the predominance of Greco‑Latin tradition on language studies. The scientists, prisoners to the tradition, cannot see the language from other perspectives. Using two examples in the morphology of the attitude of the linguists (the distinction inflection/derivation and the word classes), we intend to characterize two processes in linguistic research that has prevented the development of morphological studies: the naturalization of grammar and its use as “protocol sentence”.

“SPEAKING DIFFERENT” AND PRESERVING A VERNACULAR GEOLECT: NOTES ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF PHONETICS IN ENHANCING THE G. BREAKWELL’S IDENTITY PRINCIPLES IN A FALA DE XÁLIMA COMMUNITY (CÁCERES, SPAIN)

This paper presents some preliminary comments aiming to explain the vitality of the geolect of Val de Xálima (Cáceres province, Spain), the so‑called a fala. Having in consideration that recently the community of Xálima has faced various sociolinguistic phenomena which could have suppressed its dialectal particularities in the linguistic convergence with Castilian, the author aims to describe a process of reinforcement of the local ethnic identity due to the perceptual salience of the hypothetical “non belonging phonetic features” resulting in the preservation of the geolect. It is also proposed to integrate the factor called by the author: “to speak different” to the Identity Process Theory of G. Breakwell.

Team Creativity, Cognition, and Cognitive Style Diversity
Authors: Aggarwal Ishani , Woolley Anita Williams
Published: April 2018

In spite of the recognized importance of team creativity for organizational success, the factors that influence it are not well understood. In this paper, we address an important gap in the literature on the impact of team diversity on team creativity. We show how team cognitive diversity both enhances and inhibits team cognition, or the manner in which information is organized and distributed within the team. We further demonstrate that team cognition is a key mechanism through which cognitive diversity influences team creativity. The paper introduces a new theoretical lens, the signal-detection perspective, which argues that cognitive diversity amplifies the signals to the location of critical cognitive resources within the team and aids in their detection, consequently enhancing the form of team cognition that is central to team creativity. We test the predictions in a longitudinal study with 112 MBA student project teams. This research advances our understanding of what makes teams creative by synthesizing and testing existing theory as well as providing a new perspective that highlights an alternative way in which a team’s cognitive inputs impact team creativity.

Grupo de encontro comunitário como estratégia de Promoção da Saúde e construção compartilhada do saber: uma experiência de Extensão à luz da Educação Popular
Authors: Cruz Pedro , Araújo Renan Soares
Published: April 2018

O Programa “Práticas Integrais de Promoção da Saúde e Nutrição na Atenção Básica (PINAB)” constitui uma experiência de Extensão Universitária orientada pela Educação Popular e organiza suas ações a partir de Grupos Operativos, dentre eles os grupos “Horta” e “Saúde na Comunidade”. Enquanto o primeiro priorizou a construção de uma horta comunitária na comunidade Boa Esperança em João Pessoa-PB, o segundo desenvolveu encontros para problematização de questões do ambiente e da realidade local, com temas relativos à promoção da saúde, à qualidade de vida, ao meio ambiente e sustentabilidade, dentre outros. As reuniões do “Saúde na Comunidade” ocorreram de maneira integrada às atividades de limpeza, preservação e plantio de espécies de hortaliças, legumes e ervas medicinais. Foram utilizadas estratégias para propiciar debates sobre a questão ambiental e o contexto territorial da saúde. Tais estratégias foram empregadas através de atividades participativas e dialógicas, através de rodas de conversas, de dinâmicas criativas e da configuração de cartazes e outros materiais para expressão da cultura popular local, de maneira articulada à importância do cuidado com o outro e com a natureza. Essa experiência propiciou a integração dos indivíduos para que o encontro comunitário se configurasse de maneira crítica, solidária, humanizada e participativa; acima de tudo, compreendendo a horta como um espaço de aprendizagem pelo trabalho, onde se exercitou aspectos como união, acolhimento, diálogo e construção compartilhada de saberes, constituindo oportunidades locais para um fazer emancipatório.

Migração, violência e retorção
Authors: IBARRA MONTERO Carlos Emilio , Ramos de Farias Francisco
Published: April 2018

Resumo Este artigo é um exercício que pretende incentivar a reflexão sobre a migração a partir de uma perspectiva transdisciplinar que questiona as interações que se desenvolvem entre o cientista e o migrante. Partimos da ideia de que o migrante é violentado em duas diretrizes, a primeira pelos diversos dispositivos de observação utilizados pelo pesquisador, e a segunda, pela simulação por parte do cientista ao não remarcar a importância da retorção que os migrantes aparentemente apresentam como uma forma de reagir à violência que representa o fato de serem o objeto de estudo. Fazemos uma abordagem crítica em matéria de pensar os diferentes caminhos e o impacto que as ciências humanas têm percorrido com o intuito de encontrar o “real” ou, parafraseando Jean Baudrillard, de encontrar aquilo que é mais real do que o real.Abstract This article is an exercise that intends to encourage the reflection about migration through a transdisciplinarity perspective that asks the interactions developed between the scientist and the migrant. It starts from the idea that the migrant is violated in two guidelines. The first one by the diferents observation devices used by the researcher, and the second one, by the simulation made by the scientist in not remarking the importance of the retort apparently presented by the migrants as a way of reacting to the violence that represents the fact that they are the object of study. We take a critical approach to thinking about the different ways and the impact that the human sciences have taken in order to find the "real" or, to paraphrase Jean Baudrillard, to find that which is more real than the real.
