Measuring quality of life in autistic adults: the reliability and validity of the Brief Version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life scale
Authors: Mason David , Rodgers Jacqui , Garland Deborah , Wilson Colin , Parr Jeremy R. , McConachie Helen
Published: February 2022

Background: Measurement of the Quality of Life (QoL) of autistic adults is receiving increasing empirical attention. The World Health Organisation (WHO) QoL measure (WHOQoL-BREF) has been utilised in several studies. Autistic adults report significantly lower QoL compared to neurotypical adults across several domains. However, no studies have investigated the suitability of WHOQoL-BREF as a tool to measure the QoL of autistic adults.

Methods: This study explored the validity and reliability of WHOQoL-BREF with a mixed methods approach. Quantitatively, structural validity was explored by an exploratory factor analysis of WHOQoL-BREF data from 352 autistic adults aged 18-80 years. Qualitatively, four discussion groups (n=20 autistic people) were conducted to explore the face validity of the items of WHOQoL-BREF.

Results: The five factor structure was conceptually similar to the WHO formulation of QoL, with adequate to good internal consistency of domains; however, some items loaded in an unexpected way. The reasons for these unexpected loadings were explored in the transcripts from the discussion groups.

Conclusions: The findings suggest that the WHOQoL-BREF has acceptable validity and reliability for use with autistic adults; however caution is needed when interpreting data from the social domain and some other items
Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment—A green-building rating system for catalysing climate-change mitigation/adaptation in India
Authors: Kochhar Priyanka , Mahal Namrata , Seth Sanjay , Singh Mandeep
Published: February 2022

Green-building rating systems (GBRSs) are critical for implementing climate change (CC) mitigation strategies because they can help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the building sector. From the Indian policy perspective, the ClimateSMART Cities Assessment Framework (CSCAF) provides cities a roadmap toward mitigating CC while planning/implementing their actions and facilitates realising energy efficiency and green buildings through GBRS adoption and incentivisation. Green Rating for Integrated Habitat Assessment (GRIHA) is a comprehensive GBRS aligned with CSCAF and India’s climate goals, facilitating the implementation of Government of India’s relevant policies and climate-adaptation measures within a building project’s different phases. This paper examines existing institutional mechanisms for incentivising GRIHA-rated projects and provides recommendations for municipal bodies, regional developmental authorities, and state governments for strengthening resource efficiency in the built environment through GRIHA. Residential buildings are considered because their contribution to GHG emissions is the greatest among buildings. Data were collected through literature review, reviewing smart-city proposals and latest state annual action plans, Right to Information queries, and structured interviews of stakeholders. Feedback from green-building certification agencies, project proponents, and government officials revealed a need for local-level information dissemination and guidance on institutional mechanisms for incentivising green-rated projects. Further, to understand the implementation mechanisms for GRIHA-linked incentives, residential projects under some local-government agencies were documented as case studies, providing useful insights into prevalent mechanisms for availing incentives while facilitating GRIHA compliance. The information provided herein can be useful for local governments in other developing countries for guiding the building sector toward mitigating climate change.
Concomitant chronic subdural hematomas and arachnoid cysts in young adults
Authors: Benek Huseyin Berk , Akcay Emrah
Published: February 2022

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between arachnoid cysts and chronic subdural hematomas in young adults.

Methods: This retrospective study evaluated ten patients having concomitant chronic subdural hematomas and arachnoid cysts. Patients were evaluated with the data of age and gender, location of hematoma and arachnoid cyst, trauma history, symptoms at admission, maximum hematoma diameter, contiguity between arachnoid cyst and hematoma, and treatment  methods.

Results: We treated 285 patients who were diagnosed with cSDH between January 2013 and December 2019. 22 patients were under the age of 40 years. Ten of them had both cSDH and arachnoid cysts. The mean age of patients was 24.8±3.9 years. Patients with only chronic subdural hematoma had higher mean age than the patients with arachnoid cyst-related chronic subdural hematoma. In four patients, the onset of chronic subdural hematoma was reported after arachnoid cyst diagnosis. Four of the patients did not have causative trauma history, and two patients suffered minor sports-related traumas. All patients had headache, and only two patients had hemiparesis. The location of arachnoid cysts were in the middle fossa in eight patients. All patients had chronic subdural hematomas on the ipsilateral side of arachnoid cyst. Four patients who had smaller than 10 mm maximal cSDH diameter underwent conservative management. They were followed by serial neuroimaging studies and it was noted that the hematoma disappered and the size of the arachnoid cysts decreased over time without any neurological complication. In six cases, craniotomy was required, and all recovered completely. cSDH did not recur during 5–60 months of follow-up period (median 12 months).

Conclusions: It seems that presence of an arachnoid cyst in young adults is a predisposing factor for the formation of chronic subdural hematoma. Coincidentally diagnosed arachnoid cyst patients may be followed up with periodical clinical examinations and neuroimaging studies.

Published: February 2022

Background:As the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continues, the selection of genomic variants of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) associated with higher transmission, more severe disease, re-infection, and immune escape are a cause for concern. Such variants have been reported from the UK (B.1.1.7), South Africa (B.1.351) and, Brazil (P.1/B.1.1.28). We performed this study to track the importation, spread, and emergence of variants locally.

Methods:We sequenced whole genomes of SARS-CoV-2 from international travellers (n=75) entering Karnataka, South India, between Dec 22, 2020 and Jan 31, 2021, and from positive cases in the city of Bengaluru (n=108), between Nov 22, 2020- Jan 22, 2021, as well as a local outbreak. We present the lineage distribution and analysis of these sequences.

Results:Genomes from the study group into 34 lineages. Variant B.1.1.7 was introduced by international travel (24/73, 32.9%). Lineage B.1.36 and B.1 formed a major fraction of both imported (B.1.36: 20/73, 27.4%; B.1: 14/73, 19.2%), and circulating viruses (B.1.36: 45/103; 43.7%,. B.1: 26/103; 25.2%). The lineage B.1.36 was also associated with a local outbreak. We detected nine amino acid changes, previously associated with immune escape, spread across multiple lineages. The N440K change was detected in 45/162 (27.7%) of the sequences, 37 of these were in the B.1.36 lineage (37/65, 56.92%)

Conclusions:Our data support the idea that variants of concern spread by travel. Viruses with amino acid replacements associated with immune escape are already circulating. It is critical to check transmission and monitor changes in SARS-CoV-2 locally.
ON THE STUDY OF TOPONYMS IN COGNITIVE ASPECT
Authors: Kovlakas Elena F.
Published: February 2022

Purpose. The article is a review of scientific research on toponymy in the cognitive aspect. Toponyms as proper names contain communicative pragmatics, the ability to transmit national and cultural information about the objects of reality. For a long time, researchers have tied a toponym to a geographical object, ignoring the sensory side of cognition, from which the perception of the object of reality (geographical object) begins. The study of toponyms in the cognitive aspect goes back to objects and their perception, to the anthropological paradigm in linguistics.

It is quite obvious that the problem of “person / language” is becoming increasingly relevant in linguistics, its solution making it possible to go beyond the language and pay attention to the person. We have made an attempt to systematize scientific research, establish links between existing theories and expand the range of toponymic research.

Methodology. As a method of scientific research, we have chosen a review of the scientific literature on the chosen topic, which allows us to systematize research and propose a direction that has not been thoroughly studies so far, while being, in our opinion, of particular importance.

Results. The main research paradigms are analyzed, the features of regional toponymic systems are highlighted, the need for expanding toponymic research in the direction of forming a toponymic picture of the world of a particular region is justified.

Practical implications. The results of the study may be of interest for the theory of language, archeology, history, ethnography, geography, as well as for further toponymic studies.
PRACTICAL PROBLEMS OF DOCUMENTARY LINGUISTICS IN DATABASE COMPILING (BASED ON THE OSSETIAN LANGUAGE MATERIAL)
Authors: Gatsalova Larisa B. , Parsieva Larisa K. , Valieva Madina D.
Published: February 2022

The article presents the experience of the authors’ practical work on compiling databases used in documentary linguistics in the study of vocabulary and terminology of office work, which is one of the most pressing problems of Ossetian linguistics, having a direct impact on the preservation and development of the functionality of the minority Ossetian language.

Background. The modern stage of the development of documentary linguistics has its own peculiarities associated with the expansion of the nomenclature of documents having a unified form not only within one country, but also throughout the world. The share of documentary communication is increasing during the pandemic, so the compilation of databases and registries in different languages is becoming particularly relevant.

Purpose. Identification of the main trends in the development of documentary linguistics at the present stage and description of practical experience in compiling a register of geographical names.

Materials and methods. The materials for the study were regional periodicals, official websites of the executive and legislative authorities of the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania and the Republic of South Ossetia – the State of Alania. Research methods: content analysis, continuous sampling.

Results. The principles of the nomination of geographical names in the Ossetian language used in official business speech have been developed; the controversial points in the names denoting the location, as well as the principles of translating such words into Russian and Ossetian languages have been clarified. To conduct the study, the authors compiled registers of geographical names in Russian and Ossetian languages. A large illustrative material gives the authors the opportunity to identify the patterns of development of the terminology of the documentation support of management in the Ossetian language, to identify the most promising trends in word-formation activity, to outline further ways in the work on the ordering of this term system.

Practical implications. The practical significance of this study is dictated by the need to organize systematic work on the introduction of office work in the Ossetian language in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania and the Republic of South Ossetia in order to increase the effectiveness of measures to preserve the native language. The work can be useful in the practice of documentation support of management activities in the Ossetian language, in the preparation of lexicographic publications, as well as in the practice of translation.

Authors: Gavrikova Yulia S.
Published: February 2022

The article discusses the specifics of the implementation of the evaluation category in English using the example of the means of expressing the evaluation of intellect in media texts.

Purpose of this study is to analyze the features of expressing the evaluation of intellect by means of the English language.

Methods and methodology of work: along with general linguistic methods, the authors used methods of definitional, component and contextual analysis.

Results: the means of expressing the evaluation can belong to different levels of the language. They include lexical, stylistic, derivational, syntactic and graphic means. The article examines how these tools are used to express the evaluation of intellect on the example of the texts of articles from the world-famous newspaper The Guardian. We have identified, classified and analyzed various linguistic means of expressing the evaluation of intellect. The analysis was carried out both from the point of view of frequency and from the point of view of their overall role for expressing the evaluation of intellect. The leading means of expressing the evaluation of intellect was identified, and a detailed analysis of its specificity of expressing the evaluation was carried out.

Practical implications: the results obtained can be used for further study of the means of evaluation of intellect in English.

Authors: Kudinova Olga A. , Kudinova Valentina I.
Published: February 2022

Purpose. The objective of the study was to design a teaching innovation strategy through learning based on the video-clip to improve knowledge and overcome the difficulties that the university student presents in personal or group learning.

Methodology. The research is based on the theoretical study and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature, analysis of the results of experimental training, generalization of the results obtained during project activities based on video clips.

This pilot project was carried out with 5th-year students studying Practice of oral and written speech: Advanced level. Students have a high level of knowledge and a great interest in studying. The specifics of the subject also imply a high degree of participation in the proposed project. Students were offered several “dynamic tasks” reflecting a number of complex concepts from the curriculum. For each task, the participants developed a scenario in the form of a dialogue, which was corrected by the teacher during tutoring classes and used to create a video clip in which students had to act out a real-life situation related to the proposed topics. The impact of completed tasks on the group of participants was assessed through a survey.

The advantage of this pilot project is that conditions have been created for students to actively express students’ individual identity, the opportunity to use the acquired language material in accordance with their speech-thinking capabilities, freely participate in the communication process.

Results. Results showed that video-clip-based learning is a helpful tool not only for the acquisition of knowledge but also for enhancing communication skills and abilities by higher education students.

Practical implications. The use of video clips in the practice of teaching foreign languages contributes to the development of students’ communication skills, increases their motivation, provides visualization of the studied material, the effectiveness of its assimilation.

Authors: Kyrylenko Iryna , Fediaieva Svitlana , Miesoiedova Vita , Popadynets’ Oleksandr , Żukow Xawery
Published: February 2022

Background. In previous studies, we have shown that electrokinetic index of buccal epithelium (EKI) correlated with some functional and metabolic parameters. Subsequent studies have shown that сhanges in EKI correlated with changes in some parameters of EEG, HRV, hemodynamics, metabolism, immunity and fecal microbiocenosis. Further research in this direction was continued on a significantly increased contingent of patients and with the involvement of new methods and factors of influence. This message starts the presentation of the obtained results. Material and methods. Under a observations were 44 men (49±15 years) and 30 women (51±13 years) without clinical diagnosis or with chronic pyelonephritis in the phase of remission (23 men). We registered caused by the various therapeutic factors changes in EKI, state of the vegetative and hormonal regulation as well as immunity and metabolism, then calculated relationships between changes. Results. In 49 patients the changes in EKI were in the range of ±2,5%, in 19 people EKI increased by more than 2,5% (M±SD=+4,0±1,6%), while in 9 people decreased by more than 2,5% (-4,2±1,7%). The canonical correlation between changes in EKI, on the one hand, and HRV and immunity parameters, on the other, is moderate: R=0,478; p=0,023. The method of discriminant analysis revealed 10 immune and 6 HRV parameters as well as triglycerides and cholesterol, whose changes are characteristic of multidirectional changes in EKI. Conclusion. Electrokinetic index of buccal epithelium responds to therapeutic factors in different directions, accompanied by characteristic changes in a number of parameters of HRV, immunity and metabolism.

Autor ten proponuje własną interpretację historii Polski, w sposób skrajny idealizując rolę i działania szlachty. Koronowicz-Wróblewski skupia się przede wszystkim na kwestiach wschodnich, w tym stosunkach państwa polskiego z jego wschodnimi sąsiadami. Celem poniższego tekstu jest zbadanie, jakie miejsce w koncepcji tego autora zajmuje Zachód, rozumiany zarówno jako Europa Zachodnia, jak i jako obszary pogranicza polsko-niemieckiego i polsko-czeskiego, w toku dziejów zmieniające przynależność państwową.
Belfast Interregnum: walls, voids and forward to new ground and porous borders.
Authors: Mackel Ciaran
Published: February 2022

Good cities reward those who walk, looking outwards and upwards, and reflecting on the paths taken and on the sauntering asides that open an easy relationship with the city and its neighbourhoods. The Spanish paseo and the Italian passeggiata are, of course, as much about meeting friends and family as about using the connecting streets and passageways between one part of the city and another, and such act of walking is liberating, enjoyable and important in the making of place. Belfast does not, in many neighbourhoods, have that easy, social connectivity. The once easy cross-city network of minor streets is, in large part, gone. Interface walls, motorways, and other barriers and separation devices are not overtly visible in the commercial city core but continue to define key emblematic neighbourhoods. And the growth of smallscale political tourism manifested in several bus, black-taxi trails and short neighbourhood walks to visit the interface areas and their walls, have potential result, unfortunately, that such walls, as artefacts of conflict, could tend towards permanence. As one of many post-conflict cities, Belfast is still emerging from its historical and localised condition of manifested deepseated sectarianism, where identities and allegiances are linked to a strongly held sense of ownership of territory. Hence, the reluctance to build in void spaces that could help resolve the housing crisis and be model for housingled regeneration and model for developmentpartnering for change with the public, private and community sectors. The once daily reality in the small nurture-field city-of-camouflage and the desire for a more-connected city and neighbourhood does, however, have creative possibility, where conflict, friction, and collaborative opportunity –the collision and kiss of confluence– as creative act, can influence and impact one upon the other, that, as we know, sparks fly: alight. The spirit of self-help and community resilience, the confluence of history, cultural continuity, and an urgent need to act remains an opportunity for transformative change: for the making of new ground in an emerging city-form
Cyprus dispute: Between contested territories and spontaneous reappropriation.
Authors: Nil Gulari Melehat , Zecca Cecilia
Published: February 2022

This paper discusses the concepts of conflict and border in relation to place and identity reflecting on narratives and meanings of dividing urban and civil borders. It takes the divided Greek and Turkish society living in Nicosia as a case study. The significance of the wall, as an explicit expression of division, is discussed but also overturned by looking at its closure and its permeability when Nicosia’s sealed borders opened again for everyday crossing. The inquiry speculates an alternative path informed by Glissant’s concept of Opacity, Agamben and Nancy’s non-essentialist approaches non-community to look at entangled deep-rooted ethnic divisions and fragments of shared cultures. To inform urban epistemology, two bottom-up examples are analysed using De Certeau’s concepts of everyday life: Home for Cooperation, which is a neutral space in the buffer zone for unified collectively and Occupy Buffer-zone Movement, which has occupied a non-place and transformed it into a public square through grassroots activism. The paper highlights that in order to draw a feasible future of Cyprus, an anti-essentialist acceptance of the multiple and eclectic origins of the context is needed. In this sense, the tangible and intangible meaning of division requires a shift of meaning, from delimitation, classification, separation to a porous element of balance and calibration. The top-down urban models and concept of inclusiveness have been shaken by the temporal civic grassroots communities, and this demonstrates that collective participation fosters the reappropriation of public space, overturning the perception and the experience of the border of differences. This contributes to theorizing a critical and reflective,rather than idealistic, practice of participation in urban design.
La ciudad híbrida informal del África Subsahariana atrapada hoy entre el legado colonial de la 'maldición' y la 'exotificación' .
Authors: Martínez-Fons Lola
Published: February 2022

El colonialismo llevado a cabo por las potencias europeas en el África Subsahariana, desde finales del siglo XIX hasta mediados y finales del siglo XX, fracturaría su historia y su territorio urbano dejando una huella que todavía hoy es visible en las grandes diferencias regionales fruto de la organización macrocefálica de las colonias europeas y en las tramas de algunas de sus ciudades. En ellas la segregación racial ha dado paso a una segregación socio-económica que se ve potenciada por un pensamiento y conocimientos colonizados que recurren a modelos europeos para conceptualizar y codificar la ciudad. Una codificación que los colonizadores desplegaron en sus ciudades coloniales de forma que a todo aquello que escapaba a su entendimiento y formas de hacer ciudad se le asignó el código de informal.Estas estructuras urbanas informales en las que los africanos fueron confinados se transformarían en arenas de creación e innovación social, técnica y cultural: formas híbridas urbanas que integraban influencias occidentales y tradicionales. Estas ciudades híbridas construyen hoy en algunos países africanos más de la mitad de su tejido urbano, son lugares de experimentación y aprendizaje —incubadoras de pensamiento fronterizo— que, sin embargo, siguen atrapadas en un marco conceptual inadecuado que se materializa espacial y mentalmente entre dos extremos: la maldición y la exotificación

DEFINING A LEADER: The Leadership Identity Development of Latino Men
Authors: Acosta Alan A. , Guthrie Kathy L.
Published: February 2022

Research on college student leadership is evolving, with more scholars studying the influence of social identities on the development of student leaders. The evolving literature includes research on how race influences the leadership identity development of college students, which can support their retention and graduation from postsecondary institutions. Gaps exist in the literature on how the definitions of leaders and leadership influences leadership identity development for many social identities in numerous institutional contexts, including for Latino men. Using a case study methodology, we studied the how definitions of leaders and leadership influenced the leadership identity development of Latino men and how that influenced their placement in the LID model (Komives et al., 2005). Thirteen Latino men in the Southeastern U.S. were interviewed. Participants’ definitions and perspectives of leaders and leadership placed them all in the Leader Identified stage of the LID model. Implications for leadership educators regarding practice and research are provided.
CONFLUENCES OF STUDENT LEADERSHIP AND WHITE PRIVILEGE: Exploring Consciousness-of-Self with White Student Leaders
Authors: Davis Jeremy N.
Published: February 2022

There is a growing body of literature signaling the relevance of race in leadership development, but many conventional models do not prompt exploration of this social identity. The omission of race in leadership curriculum is disadvantageous for all college students, but among White student leaders, it may be a continuance of White privilege. The purpose of this constructivist study was to explore how White student leaders make meaning of their racial identity, and corresponding privilege, through a relevant leadership framework. Racial caucusing was employed as a method to prompt discussion and gather narratives from four White student leaders. Findings from this narrative inquiry study indicate how the confluences of race and leadership can advance self-awareness among White student leaders.
EVALUATING AND EMBODYING EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP
Authors: Kirkpatrick Nathan
Published: February 2022

Teamwork is essential for patient safety as highly functioning teams make fewer errors. In high acuity academic medical centers, care delivery is complex and ever-changing, creating a high-risk environment for safety concerns. These intricate settings demand a collaborative approach to care delivery, where structured methods of teamwork and communication are engrained in day-to-day practice. With teamwork being a critical component of patient safety and communication failures likened to preventable medical errors, hospitals are looking to bolster leadership training and improve team dynamics. TeamSTEPPS is a proven method shown to enhance teamwork, communication, leadership, and patient satisfaction. TeamSTEPPS provides an evidence-based framework to optimize patient outcomes by improving communication and teamwork skills among healthcare professionals. Current literature on teamwork and communication demonstrates that nurse practitioners are uniquely positioned to improve team performance through the use of the TeamSTEPPS framework.
AVATARS MEET FACE-TO-FACE: Learning Leadership Online: A Thematic Analysis of East-African Perspectives
Authors: Ann Lorraine , Aziz Zahra
Published: February 2022

Within education, the online forum is becoming a preferred mode of study across the globe and the COVID-19 era highlights its importance. Research around online education has concentrated on the USA and Europe, and this study sought to redress the Western bias by exploring and comparing the perceptions of six post-graduate East-African students and lecturers at Pan Africa Christian University in Kenya on learning leadership online versus on-campus. It is debatable whether leaders are born or made; however, post-industrial theories embrace the concept that leadership is teachable. Semi-structured interviews were conducted, recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed, using a top-down approach, from a critical realist perspective. The results show that participants’ leadership ideals synthesised Afrocentric perspectives of communality, with Western ideals of transformational and servant leadership. Furthermore, there are differences between perceptions of East- African students and lecturers on online leadership learning. Students preferred the online avatar experience, whilst lecturers preferred on-campus or blended methods of leadership studies. Face-to-face connection was deemed important by students and lecturers but impeded by the inability to see facial reactions using the current online platform. This exploratory study gives insight into an East-African experience and sends a clear message to Kenyan institutions to invest further in video technology. Future research could include a longitudinal study of destinations and successes of Kenyan University online leadership alumni. The impact of the global coronavirus pandemic, with lockdowns and social distancing, further underlines the importance of ongoing online leadership research and education across the world.

Authors: Barnes Emily , Gearin Christopher
Published: February 2022

This qualitative study used a phenomenological approach to investigate the perspectives of 11 leaders in higher education. Specifically, we addressed the following research question: How do millennial leaders approach leadership in higher education? The study framework included adaptive leadership as a guide to understand the perspectives of newer leaders within higher education institutions. Our results support a relationship between adaptive leadership and millennial leaders in higher education. They also highlight the importance of leadership mentoring in developing a person’s capacity to adapt to constantly changing environments.
CROSS-CULTURALISM AND THE APPLICATION OF LEADERSHIP EDUCATION IN MAINLAND CHINA
Authors: Fox Brendon , Bourgeois Jeff
Published: February 2022

The internationalization of United States higher education has been described as a “two-way street” where students arrive at knowledge transfer. That transfer occurs through a curriculum deemed “unidirectional” with no relevance to local issues or needs and results in limited application and educational colonialism perceptions. Specific to leadership education, the extant literature presents implications of neglect to cultural contexts traditionally reflected in the curriculum within a host nation. We used an explanatory mixed methods design for this study to investigate the degree to which undergraduate Western-based leadership studies courses taught in China reflect the notion of “neocolonialism” by prioritizing Western interests and values.

While the study’s quantitative results reveal cultural differences in leadership education concepts, the qualitative follow-up phase finds students’ appreciation in the utility of leadership concepts and knowledge gained from the leadership curriculum. Students could cite specific situations in which they employed leadership concepts acquired from their respective leadership courses.
Technical Note—The Multinomial Logit Model with Sequential Offerings: Algorithmic Frameworks for Product Recommendation Displays
Authors: Feldman Jacob , Segev Danny
Published: February 2022

In the paper “The Multinomial Logit Model with Sequential Offerings: Algorithmic Frameworks for Product Recommendation Displays,” we consider a sequential assortment problem that has applications ranging from appointment scheduling in hospitals, restaurants, and fitness centers to product recommendation in e-commerce settings. Our main contribution comes in the form of a strongly polynomial-time approximation scheme for the most general form of the problem. We also conduct an extensive case study in which we fit our sequential model to historical search data from Expedia’s hotel booking platform. We observe substantial gains in fitting accuracy when our model is benchmarked against other well-known choice models designed for the setting at hand.
A TRAJETÓRIA DE ALENCAR NO CONTEXTO LITERÁRIO DO SÉCULO XIX: UM OLHAR SOBRE AS PÁGINAS DE COMO E PORQUE SOU ROMANCISTA
Authors: Gonçalo Fabiana Da Costa
Published: February 2022

A obra Como e porque sou romancista, de José de Alencar, pode ser apontada como o primeiro exemplar de uma autobiografia escrita no Brasil, na medida em que se trata de uma narrativa de tom confessional em que o autor demonstra a intenção de (re)construir a sua trajetória de romancista e, de forma mais velada, defender-se das críticas que vinha sofrendo. Assim, pretendemos, neste artigo, verificar de que modo o autor se utiliza de um relato autobiográfico no cenário em que se insere, ou seja, na segunda metade do século XIX, considerando, principalmente, que o gênero em questão era renegado naquela época.
O CONCEITO DE TÍPICO DE SLAVOJ ŽIŽEK COMO MECANISMO DE MANUTENÇÃO DA IDEOLOGIA EM A EXCEÇÃO E A REGRA
Authors: Almeida Marcia Geralda , Silva Marisa Corrêa
Published: February 2022

RESUMO: este artigo apresenta uma releitura da peça A exceção e a regra, de Bertolt Brecht, a partir do conceito de típico proposto pelo filósofo esloveno Slavoj Žižek. Trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico de cunho interpretativo, baseado no materialismo lacaniano, uma corrente filosófica recente que atrela a psicanálise de Jacques Lacan ao materialismo histórico de Karl Marx. A releitura por tal viés permite perceber o funcionamento do processo de tipificação, pois, de forma muito didática, Brecht põe em cena as contradições inerentes às relações de poder. Embora o conceito žižekiano seja posterior à criação de A exceção e a regra, é possível perceber o processo de tipificação na peça, e esse recurso funciona como elemento constitutivo do efeito de estranhamento (ou distanciamento), o conceito chave do teatro brechtiano. Crítico contundente do drama burguês, Brecht clamava a necessidade de abandonar a mimese superficial das relações interpessoais, que focavam exclusivamente o indivíduo, para abraçar a coletividade, as estruturas e processo de poder e seu papel praticamente determinante na matriz de comportamentos humanos.
ANÁLISE DE CHANGE-POINT NO DESENVOLVIMENTO DE SEGUNDA LÍNGUA: um estudo da produção de Voice Onset Time por aprendizes brasileiros de Inglês
Authors: Schereschewsky Laura Castilhos , Alves Ubiratã Kickhöfel
Published: February 2022

Este estudo baseia-se nas premissas da Teoria dos Sistemas Dinâmicos Complexos (TSDC) e apresenta uma análise de processo (LOWIE; VERSPOOR, 2015; 2019) do desenvolvimento do padrão de Voice Onset Time (VOT) positivo do Inglês-L2, considerando-se a trajetória individual de cinco falantes nativos do português brasileiro durante o período de 12 semanas, com coletas semanais. Entre as semanas 4 e 9, uma intervenção pedagógica foi realizada por meio de seis aulas de instrução explícita sobre aspectos fonético-fonológicos da língua inglesa. Análises de change-point (TAYLOR, 2000) indicaram mudanças de fase no desenvolvimento com aumento da duração de VOT, fornecendo material teórico e empírico que contribui para a visão da língua como um SDC.
MEMÓRIAS DA INFÂNCIA E DA ADOLESCÊNCIA NO ESPAÇO AFRICANO EM CADERNO DE MEMÓRIAS COLONIAIS, A ÁRVORE DAS PALAVRAS E O RETORNO
Authors: Forli Cristina Arena
Published: February 2022

Tendo em vista a preponderância da utilização de memórias da infância e da adolescência na literatura contemporânea e a problematização da experiência do colonialismo português na África, este artigo tem como enfoque a análise dessas memórias em relação ao espaço do continente africano. Para tanto, optou-se por utilizar como corpus os seguintes romances: Caderno de memórias coloniais (2009), de Isabela Figueiredo, A árvore das palavras (1997), de Teolinda Gersão, e O retorno (2012), de Dulce Maria Cardoso. Essas narrativas enfatizam o processo de formação desses sujeitos, que ocorre em concomitância a um momento histórico extremamente violento como é o colonialismo. Compreende-se essas memórias como subterrâneas (POLLAK, 1989) devido ao fato de assumirem a via da contramão do discurso histórico oficial. Dessa forma, o despertar para si e para o mundo acontece pelos olhos de quem vê com estranhamento muitas das ações tidas como naturais por adultos devido ao fato de estarem menos condicionados a um sistema disciplinar (FOUCAULT, 2004). Compõem o aporte teórico deste estudo autores como Maurice Halbwachs, Michael Pollak, Michel Foucault, entre outros.

A PERSONAGEM HERÓI INFANTOJUVENIL NA CONTÍSTICA DE MIA COUTO SOB A PERSPECTIVA DOS ESTUDOS NARRATIVOS
Authors: García Flavio
Published: February 2022

Kanova e o segredo da caveira, de Pedro Pereira Lopes, corresponde ao volume 6 da coleção Contos e Histórias de Moçambique, da Escola Portuguesa de Moçambique – Centro de Ensino e Língua Portuguesa, e ao volume 5 da coleção Contos de Moçambique, da Editora Kapulana. A coleção, com dez livros, foi inspirada no desejo de Nelson Mandela de “que a voz do narrador de contos nunca morresse em África e que as crianças nunca perdessem a capacidade de ampliar os seus horizontes do mundo com a magia dos relatos”. Suas narrativas são recriações de contos e lendas da tradição oral moçambicana. Este ensaio atém-se à figuração valorada positivamente em termos axiológicos, éticos, morais, sociais, psicológicos de Kanova, a jovem personagem protagonista herói da narrativa recriada por Lopes, que desempenha ações e, interpondo-se à morte, resgata sonhos e os perpetua. Assim, Lopes atende, simbólica e metaforicamente, ao desejo de Mandela.
