Authors: Martínez Aragón Cynthia Lizeth , Arellano González Alejandro , Carballo Mendívil Blanca
Published: June 2020

Las organizaciones se encuentran en una lucha constante por subsistir ante un entorno complejo e inestable. La globalización ha permitido el incremento de empresas rivales que buscan posicionarse dentro del mercado. Para lograr el posicionamiento, se han visto en la necesidad de generar ventajas competitivas. Bajo este escenario, el presente artículo tiene el objetivo de exponer una perspectiva acerca de la ventaja competitiva desde diferentes teorías administrativas, mediante una revisión de literatura, presentando los principales resultados organizados por subtemas dentro de los cuales se encuentra: la teoría general de sistemas, teoría de recursos y capacidades, teoría del caos, relaciones interorganizacionales, administración estratégica, teoría basada en la gestión del conocimiento y ventaja competitiva. Se concluye que la capacidad de adaptación posibilitará a las empresas tener éxito en el mercado y por consecuencia, lograr rentabilidad, competitividad y no desaparecer. 
A Retórica da guerra cultural e o parlamento brasileiro: A argumentação no impeachment de Dilma Rousseff
Authors: Santos Frederico Rios C. dos
Published: June 2020

The origin of the term “culture wars” is controversial. It was in the United States, however, that the expression became popularized, through the publication of Culture Wars, by James Davison Hunter, in 1991. It was a description of the clash between two antagonistic world views, a conservative one, often associated with political right, and a progressive one, predominantly related to the left, but not only. Cultural war brings with it social and moral problems that concern, for example, sexuality, behavior, race, religiosity, etc., but which may also involve political and economic issues. From the point of view of language, it is asked: in view of these cultural clashes in society, would there be a rhetoric that is peculiar to it? Would it be possible to think of some regularities, even though this war has peculiar traits among countries and historical periods? To think about these issues, this work is based on the pronouncements made in the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil, during the vote on the admissibility of the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, on April 17, 2016. With the help of concepts in Rhetoric and Discourse Analysis, the objective of the book is also to evaluate in which sense the arguments in the process of dismissing the former president contributed or not to the integrity of Parliament, considered the par excellence public space for deliberation of democratic societies.
Batıl İnançların Korku Sinemasındaki Yansımaları
Authors: ÖZGÖR Cumhur Okay
Published: June 2020

Varoluşundan beri insanoğlunun korkuları, acizliği, umutsuzluğu, yalnızlığı beraberinde çeşitli hurafeleri de doğurmuştur. Batıl inançlar, insanın doğa karşısındaki acizliğinden beslenerek modern çağlardan günümüze bile serüvenine devam eder. İnsan doğası dışında, toplum; heretik kültür, pagan inançlar, folklor, töre/gelenek, ritüeller, mitoloji; erkek hegemonyasının etken olduğu Hıristiyanlık, Orta Çağ’da egemen güç olan Kilise, püriten bilinç, batıl inançları besleyen olgular/durumlardan bazılarıdır. Kara kedi, nazar, merdiven gibi çeşitli hurafeler evrensel boyutlara ulaşırken insan psikolojisi, tarihi olaylar da batıl inanışları şekillendiren etkenlere örnek olarak gösterilebilir. Batıl inançların tarihsel kökenleri kadar psikoloji ve psikiyatri de bu inanışları açıklamada yol gösterici olmuş ancak; batıl inançları daha kolayca kavranabilmesini sağlayan, ölümsüz imajlar haline getiren sanat olacaktır. Resim ve sinema gibi görsel sanatlar, sembolik, metamorfik anlatımlara yönelen sanatsal üretimler arasında en başta gelir.
Bu çalışma, sinema ve resim gibi görsel sanatlarla ritüeller, mitoloji ve batıl inançlar gibi fenomenlerin ilişkilerini mercek altına almaktadır. Özellikle korku sinemasında yer alan batıl ögeler işlenecektir.
Videofelsefe Manifestosu
Authors: USLU Ayşe
Published: June 2020

Bu yazı, felsefe yapmanın söz merkezli geleneksel yöntemlerinin bir eleştirisini içermekte ve felsefi düşünceyi sözel imgelerin ötesine taşıyarak, duyusal ve duygulanımsal imajları felsefe yapmanın bir yolu olarak önermektedir. Henri Bergson’un zaman felsefesinden yola çıkarak, dünyanın bedenden ayrı bir zihin tahayyülünün ürettiği imajlar bütünü olmaktan çok, imaj akışlarından, yani zamanın sıkışıp gevşeme hareketlerinden ibaret olduğu kabul edilirse, ışığın bir taşıyıcı üzerindeki izinden çok “ışığın ifadesi” olarak videonun, maddi ve zihinsel sentezler gibi işleyerek zamanı kristalleştirdiği, yani doğrudan varlığın ifadesi olduğu kabul edilebilir. Bu bağlamda, Maurizio Lazzarato’nun deyimiyle video gibi “hafıza ya da zamanı kristalleştirme teknolojileri”, algıyı, belleği ve zihinsel emeği taklit eden teknolojilerdir. Bu teorik altyapı çerçevesinde bu çalışma, dijital görselleştirme, kayıt alma ve işleme tekniklerini, sözel imajların sınırlarının ötesinde duyumsanabilir imajlar yoluyla felsefe yapmanın bir aracı olarak görmeyi önerir. Böylece, felsefenin konu edindiği malzeme ve onun üzerine felsefe yapma yöntemi bir ve aynı şey haline gelerek zamanın imajları olacaktır ve bu yolla felsefe geleceğin yeni düşünce dillerine uyum sağlama yoluna girecektir.
Halkla İlişkiler ve Kurumsal Yönetişim Bağlamında Sosyal Medyanın Kullanımı: Türkiye’deki Siyasi Partilerin Facebook ve Twitter Kullanımı Üzerine Bir Araştırma
Authors: TÜRK Ezel , BAYRAM Ayhan
Published: June 2020

Son yıllarda sık duyulmaya başlanan yönetişim kavramı; birlikte yönetme algısını ön plana çıkarttığı için etkileşim ve karşılıklılık olguları da beraberinde önem kazanmıştır. Yönetişim süreci tüm kamuoyuyla düzenli bir şekilde bilgi akışının sağlanmasını gerektirdiği için de kurumsal yönetişim, halkla ilişkiler uygulamalarıyla paralel bir şekilde yürütülmelidir. Halkın sorunlarına çözüm önerileri sunan ve halk tarafından bu çözüm önerileri değerlendirilerek seçilen siyasi partiler açısından kurumsal yönetişim kavramı daha da öne çıkmaktadır. Bugün sosyal medya; kamuoyunun bilgiye erişiminin sağlanmasında oldukça önemli bir mecra olduğu için Facebook ve Twitter’ın halkla ilişkiler ve kurumsal yönetişim uygulamalarında kullanımı önem taşımaktadır.TBMM’de 26. Dönemde mecliste grubu bulunan dört siyasi partinin; kurumsal Facebook ve Twitter hesaplarından paylaşttıkları içerikler, kurumsal yönetişim ve halkla ilişkiler uygulamaları açısından değerlendirilmiş; elde edilen veriler nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden içerik analizi tekniği ile analize tabi tutulmuş ve betimsel istatistiğe başvurma yoluyla değerlendirilmiştir. Buna göre; siyasi partiler Twitter’ı bilgilendirme aracı olarak halkla ilişkiler faaliyetlerinde Facebook’a göre daha fazla kullanmaktadırlar. Buna rağmen etkileşim Facebook’ta daha yoğun bir şekilde gerçekleşmektedir. Partilere göre bakıldığında AKP Twitter’ı daha fazla kullanırken, HDP Facebook’u daha fazla kullanmaktadır. Kurumsal yönetişim ilkelerinden şeffaflık ve sorumluluk daha çok Twitter’da, hesap verebilirlik Facebook’ta ortaya çıkarken; eşitlik ilkesi her iki mecrada da hiçbir şekilde yerine getirilmemektedir.

Siyasal kampanya çalışmalarının evrim geçirmeye devam edeceğini, pazarlama ve reklam teknolojisinde geliştirilen en son tekniklerden yararlanacağını varsaymak için yeterli neden bulunmaktadır. Siyasal kampanyalara ayrılan bütçeler, bu varsayımı desteklemektedir. Bu çalışmada veri temelli yönelimlerin siyasal kampanyalarda mevcut ve potansiyel kullanımını ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Bu yönelimlerin pek çoğu hâlâ gelişmekte olduğundan, çalışma, verilerin günümüzde nasıl kullanıldıklarından ziyade, bazılarının önümüzdeki yıllarda nasıl uygulanabilecekleri ile ilgili incelemelerden oluşmaktadır. İncelemenin tamamında mevcut kullanımlar ile olası kullanımlar birbirinden ayrılmaktadır. Ayrıca bu yeni teknolojilerin ne ölçüde etkili olacakları ile ilgili çıkarımda bulunmamakla birlikte, veri analizlerinin siyasal kampanyalarda nasıl kullanılmakta olduğuna ve bunun gelecekte nasıl gelişebileceğine bakılmıştır. Çalışma –kötü niyetli aktörlerin değil- meşru siyasi partilerin yararlanma yoluna gidebileceği yasal yöntemlerle sınırlandırılmıştır.

Effects of Arbuscular Mycorrhiza Fungi and Coffee Pulp Compost in Improving Soil Water Uptake by Chilli Around the Permanent Wilting Point Conditions
Authors: Dayana Ingri , Hermawan Bandi , Bertham Yudhi Harini , Ganefianti Dwi Wahyuni
Published: June 2020

Soil water availability to the plants is a range of water content between the field capacity and the permanent wilting point (PWP) conditions. The PWP is defined as the lower limit of soil water content that the plant can extract water from the soil as indicated by the symptoms of wilting plants. This is because plant roots are unable to penetrate the soil micropores that contain the water.  The study aims to analyze the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and compost in enhancing soil water absorption by the plant when the water content is close to the permanent wilting point. Four doses of AMF (0, 5, 10 and 15 g.plant-1) and three doses of coffee pulp-made compost (0, 5 and 10 ton.ha-1) were arranged according to a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Results showed that the application of AMF significantly enabled the plant to improve water uptake when the soil water content was about at the permanent wilting point conditions. The AMF addition of 15 g.plant-1 significantly prolonged the growing period of chili to wither and the plant showed the wilting symptoms at the soil water content of 5 to 7% lower than the no-AMF plants. Improved water uptake under water stress conditions was attributed to increases in the root colonization by AMF.

A novel version tracking method
Authors: Irving Luther
Published: June 2020

Target following is a troublesome endeavor and all things considered no illustrative course of action is open, especially for the multi-target following structures. To address this issue, probability hypothesis thickness (PHD) channel is used by multiplying the PHD instead of the full multi-focus back. Starting late, the particle stream channel reliant on the log homotopy gives another way to deal with state estimation. In this paper, we propose a novel progressive Monte Carlo (SMC) execution for the PHD channel helped by the atom stream (PF), which is called PF-SMC-PHD channel. Test outcomes show that our proposed channel has higher precision than the SMC-PHD channel and is computationally more affordable than the Gaussian mix PHD (GM-PHD) channel.
A New Version Non-Zero Diffusion Particle Flow
Authors: Israel Louis
Published: June 2020

Molecule stream (PF) is a technique initially proposed for single objective following, and utilized as of late to address the weight decline issue of the consecutive Monte Carlo likelihood speculation thickness (SMC-PHD) channel for various media (AV) multi-speaker following, where the molecule stream is determined by just the estimations close to the molecule, accepting that the objective is identified, as in an ongoing standard dependent on non-zero molecule stream for example the AV-NPF-SMC-PHD channel. This, be that as it may, can be tricky when impediment occurs and the blocked speaker may not be distinguished. To address this issue, we propose another technique where the marks of the particles are evaluated utilizing the probability work, and the molecule stream is determined as far as the chose particles with similar names. Subsequently, the particles related with identified speakers and undetected speakers are recognized dependent on the molecule names. With this novel strategy, named as AV-LPF-SMC-PHD, the speaker states can be evaluated as the weighted mean of the named particles, which is computationally more effective than utilizing a bunching technique as in the AV-NPF-SMC-PHD channel. The proposed calculation is contrasted efficiently and a few standard following techniques utilizing the AV16.3, AVDIAR and CLEAR datasets, and are appeared to offer improved following precision with a low computational expense.
Protocol of a Living systematic review: Gloves for the prevention of COVID-19 in healthy population
Authors: Ortiz-Muñoz Luis E. , Ferrer María Belén Morales , Anselmi Giuliano Duarte , Rada Gabriel
Published: June 2020

The efficacy of using gloves by the general population to prevent COVID-19 is unknown. Despite not having evidence to support its use, a large number of people have decided to use them, and governments and media don’t have a clear message about using gloves by the general population. If we also consider the shortage of medical supplies, it’s crucial to determine the efficacy of routine glove use by the general population in preventing COVID-19. Using innovative and agile processes, taking advantage of technological tools, and resorting to the collective effort of several research groups, this living systematic review aims to provide a timely, rigorous and continuously updated summary of the evidence available on the the efficacy of the use of gloves in the prevention of COVID-19 disease in healthy population.
Visual Multi-target Tracking
Authors: Ben David
Published: June 2020

Speaker following is a difficult assignment and for the most part no scientific arrangement is accessible, particularly for the multi-speaker following framework, which is a high dimensional and non-direct framework. To address this issue, likelihood theory thickness (PHD) filter is utilized by proliferating the PHD rather than the irregular limited set (RFS). As the consecutive Monte Carlo likelihood theory thickness (SMC-PHD) filter is anything but difficult to actualize, it has been utilized generally in multi-target following issues. Nonetheless, the presentation of the SMC-PHD filter is influenced by the weight decline issue. In this paper, we will sum up the issue of multi-target following.

Published: June 2020

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) show high rates of comorbidity. Restricted interests and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are a core symptom of ASD and commonly occur in ADHD. However, little is known about how RRBs manifest in ADHD, nor how they relate to cognitive abilities and sex across these disorders. Methods: This study investigated the joint factor structure of RRBs in a large sample of children with ASD and ADHD using (1) exploratory factor analysis, and (2) analysis of factorial invariance across diagnostic status (ASD versus ADHD). Subsequently, relations for these factors with sex and IQ were evaluated. Children (N=1,082; 78% male) were identified with primary diagnoses of ASD (n=634) or ADHD (n=448). RRBs were measured using the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R). Results: A 4-factor solution provided the best fit to the data and yielded four psychologically meaningful factors, including (1) Stereotypy, (2) Self-Injury, (3) Compulsions, and (4) Ritualistic/Sameness. The four-factor solution was equivalent across diagnostic status, as imposition of weak (△RMSEA=.001) and strong (△RMSEA=.003) invariance did not significantly diminish model fit. IQ was negatively associated with Stereotypy, Self-Injury and Compulsions in ASD, and negatively associated with Compulsions and Ritualistic/Sameness behaviors in ADHD. A main effect of sex on Self-Injury was observed, whereby females displayed higher levels of Self-Injury in ASD but not ADHD. Conclusions: Our results underscore a common 4-factor structure across ASD and ADHD, which simplifies prior models of the RBS-R and indicates a similar pattern of occurrence of RRBs across these disorders.
An evaluation of the efficacy of two add-on ecological momentary intervention modules for depression in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial (ZELF-i)

Published: June 2020

Background Depression treatment might be enhanced by Ecological Momentary Interventions (EMI) based on self-monitoring and person-specific feedback. This study is the first to examine the efficacy of two different EMI modules for depression in routine clinical practice. MethodsOutpatients starting depression treatment at secondary mental health services (N = 161; MIDS-DEPRESSION = 35.9, SD = 10.7; MAGE = 32.8, SD = 12.1; 46% male) participated in a pragmatic randomized controlled trial with three arms. Two experimental groups engaged in 28 days of systematic self-monitoring (5 times per day), and received weekly feedback on either positive affect and activities (Do-module) or negative affect and thinking patterns (Think-module). The control group received no additional intervention. Participants completed questionnaires on depressive symptoms (primary outcome), social functioning, and empowerment before and after the intervention period, and at four measurements during a 6-month follow-up period. ResultsOf the 90 (out of 110) participants who completed the intervention, 86% would recommend it. However, the experimental groups did not show significantly more or faster changes over time than the control group in terms of depressive symptoms, social functioning and empowerment. Furthermore, trajectories of the two EMI modules were very similar. ConclusionsWe did not find statistical evidence that this type of EMI augments the efficacy of regular depression treatment, regardless of module content. We cannot rule out that EMIs have a positive impact on other domains or provide a more efficient way of delivering care. Nonetheless, EMI’s promise of effectiveness has not materialized yet.

New Zealand's COVID-19 lockdown in March and April 2020 was among the world's most stringent. Similar to other countries, New Zealand's lockdown occurred amidst pervasive health and economic uncertainties. However, New Zealanders experienced comparatively less psychological distress. To test theories of pandemic distress mitigation, we use national longitudinal responses with pre-COVID-19 baselines and systematically quantify psychological distress trajectories within the same individuals during the lockdown (pre-COVID-19 = 2018/2019; stringent-lockdown = March/April 2020; N = 940). Most distress indicators were minimally elevated. However, there was a three-fold increase in feelings of worthlessness. Neither satisfaction with the government, nor business-satisfaction, nor a sense of neighbourhood community were effective distress defences. Perceived social-belonging and health-satisfaction mitigated feelings of worthlessness. A silver lining was a relief from feelings of effort, which social-belonging fostered. That social-belonging and health satisfaction could quell serious distress among those low in government confidence, low in business satisfaction, and low neighbourhood community proves that distress mitigation is possible without shifting a population's general political, economic, and civic attitudes. Protection of income and containment of infectious disease threat reduces mental health burdens. Though feelings of worthlessness surge during lockdown, such feelings attenuate from interpersonal belonging with people one already knows.
Underrepresentation of English-Language Learners in Gifted Education and the Influence of Gifted Education Policy
Authors: Kettler Todd , Laird Yasmin
Published: June 2020

English Language Learners (ELL) are the fastest growing population in United States public education and are likely underrepresented in gifted education. This study analyzed a nationally representative sample of the largest school districts (n=311) in the United States accounting for approximately 35% of the total public school enrollment of K12 education. Five pre-registered hypotheses were tested to explore the nature of ELL underrepresentation in gifted education. Eighty-six percent of the schools had ELL relative difference in composition index (RDCI) scores in the large underrepresentation category (< -60), and the pattern of underrepresentation was consistent in all four census regions of the U.S. Underrepresentation in schools with state policy mandates to identify gifted students was no different that ELL underrepresentation in non-mandated policy states. Variables of gifted program inclusiveness (r = .07) and prevalence of ELL student populations (r = .05) were not associated with variation in ELL underrepresentation.
Working memory is not fixed capacity: More active storage capacity for real-world objects than simple stimuli
Authors: Brady Timothy F. , Störmer Viola S. , Alvarez George
Published: June 2020

Visual working memory is the cognitive system that holds visual information active to make it resistant to interference from new perceptual input. Information about simple stimuli – colors, orientations – is encoded into working memory rapidly: in under 100ms, working memory ‘fills up’, revealing a stark capacity limit. However, for real-world objects, the same behavioral limits do not hold: with increasing encoding time, people store more real-world objects and do so with more detail. This boost in performance for real-world objects is generally assumed to reflect the use of a separate episodic long-term memory system, rather than working memory. Here we show that this behavioral increase in capacity with real-world objects is not solely due to the use of separate episodic long-term memory systems. In particular, we show that this increase is a result of active storage in working memory, as shown by directly measuring neural activity during the delay period of a working memory task using EEG. These data challenge fixed capacity working memory models, and demonstrate that working memory and its capacity limitations are dependent upon our existing knowledge.
The Evolutionary Dynamics of Cultural Change (As Told Through the Birth and Brutal, Blackened Death of Metal Music)
Authors: Koch Bernard , Silvestro Daniele , Foster Jacob G.
Published: June 2020

How does culture change? We unify disconnected explanations of change that focus either on individuals or on public culture under a theory of cultural evolution. By shifting our analytical lens from actors to public cultural ideas and object, our theory can explain change in cultural forms over large and long frames of analysis using formal evolutionary mechanisms. Complementing this theory, the paper introduces a suite of novel methods to explain change in the historical trajectories of populations of cultural ideas/objects (e.g., music groups, hashtags, laws, technologies, and organizations) through diversification rates. We deploy our theory and methods to study the history of Metal Music over more than three decades, using a complete dataset of all bands active between 1968 and 2000. Over the course of its history, we find strong evidence that the genre has been fundamentally shaped by competition between ideas for the cognitive resources actors can invest in learning about and reproducing this cultural form over time. Extensive tutorials for the methods are available at http://www.dysoc.org/cesmodules/diversification_module/tutorials.
When Motivation Becomes Desperation: Online Freelancing During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Dunn Michael , Stephany Fabian , Sawyer Steven , Munoz Isabel , Raheja Raghav , Vaccaro Gabrielle , Lehdonvirta Vili
Published: June 2020

This study combines market-level data about changes in jobs offered via online labor platforms and interviews with online freelance workers to highlight how freelancers are responding to the novel coronavirus’s presence. We pursue this work recognizing that as the scope and breadth of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to grow, the implications to workers and labor markets are profound. Our focus on online labor markets and workers reflects our enduring interest in knowledge work, with a particular attention to precarious work. Market data show the dramatic shifts in work availability (supply) and the changes in worker availability (demand) as the United States’ economy struggles with the initial burst of effects of a pandemic. Interview data reveal that freelance workers are aware of these shifts. These changes to already- precarious and market-driven work arrangements are magnified by the realities of balancing family members’ changes in job status, working around children who are home from school, and re-organizing work and lives to account for the rapid onset and confusion of stay-at-home requirements and the uncertainty that is the core of the pandemic. Findings suggest work flexibility, which seems central to freelancer’s motivation to pursue such work, is diminishing and instead freelancers are being driven by desperation rooted in the acknowledged precarity of their situation, magnified by the constellation of events reshaping their working arrangements. We further observe that these effects vary by occupation and are more keenly experienced by women freelancers, both of which warrant additional attention.
Wielka Kołomyja. Wokół ludyczności w wybranych powieściach Edmunda Niziurskiego
Authors: Chrobak Małgorzata
Published: June 2020

The author of the paper explores two dichotomous phenomena — boredom and entertainment — in Polish prose for children from the period of PRL, basing on the adventure novels written by Edmund Niziurski in the 1960s: Awanturza w Niekłaju (1962) and Siódme wtajemniczenie (1969). Both notions are discussed from the perspective of ethnography, anthropology, and the history of childhood. Referring to Roger Caillois’s concepts of play and games, the researcher analyses the images of transformation of entertainment behaviours as presented by young characters from Niziurski’s novels, and links between the text and social and political reality in Poland of the 1960s. Her findings indicate that, in his writing of this period, Niziurski both withdrew from socrealistic poetics and abandoned the ideological, persuasive function of entertainment for the sake of uninhibited, spontaneous children’s games and play.

Authors: Guzy Anna
Published: June 2020

This chapter consists of two parts: theoretical background and case studies. It aims at presenting children’s fantasies or mental images (be it verbal or iconic) of paidia as a word. The first part is dedicated to the investigations into children’s imagination, stages of its development, and factors that affect it. The other part analyses the works of 51 pupils who were supposed to draw “a paidia” and reads the ways they both concretised it on the pictures and described them.
O magicznym czarze pewnej głoski
Authors: Wacławek Maria
Published: June 2020

The correct pronunciation of [č] sound is one of the most difficult problems in articulation that arises in the last period of speech development among children. Be it nursery rhymes or other rhymed texts, the orthophonic games and activities supposed to evoke this sound and develop articulation include the words of fairy‑tale origins; not only do they contain and exercise the aforementioned sound, but also they point to the theme that is liked and highly regarded by children. In addition to the brief analysis of this issue, the chapter presents some of the games and activities that might facilitate acquisition and processing of the correct pronunciation of the aforementioned “magical” sound.

Македонската литература за деца (мала студија за запознавање)
Authors: Мојсова‑Чепишевска Весна
Published: June 2020

This short study embraces both the first sprouts of the written Macedonian literature for children (somewhere around the second part of the 19th century), and the literary production which happens after the establishment of the contemporary Macedonian language, that is, after the 1945. Still, the main accent is on two newer books: Verses also Grow (И строфите растат) by Alexandar Kujundziski and Jump and Skip (Скокни прескокни) by Vasil Mukaetov which is a part of the refreshed reading list as an optional book for the Macedonian language lessons in the primary schools in Macedonia. Both authors put an emphasis exactly on a child’s sensitivity and such issues as character growth and maturation. In their books, they transfer the reader from childhood to adulthood unnoticeably and lightly. Their message is to help the little human in the complex process of his or her own comprehension and to show him or her that he or she are not alone in this process.

Authors: Dobrzycki Jarosław
Published: June 2020

The text analyses the Harry Potter series by Joanne Rowling from the perspective of eugenics and the ideology of National Socialism. What is indicated and examined are the statements or attitudes of heroes that may be considered part of the Nazi discourse, implemented in the novel by the author. The aim of the paper is to show that this cycle may be a pretext for teachers to initiate the discussion on eugenics, Nazism, as well as broadly understood ideology.

Authors: Santos Bruna Siqueira Souza , Silveira Vera Lucia Lopes , De Deus Juliano Alves
Published: June 2020

O ensino médio tem se tornado objeto de investigação, em virtude das transformações sociais atuais no que tange à inovação e tecnologia. Este artigo defende a importância de uma didática que atenda às necessidades dos jovens estudantes nesse contexto, e mais especificamente, na disciplina de Biologia, tendo em vista que muitos professores ainda sentem dificuldades em realizar aulas práticas e dinâmicas, justificadas pela infraestrutura inadequada e falta de recursos didáticos. Com este propósito, foi realizada uma pesquisa teórica e documental, no intuito de analisar diferentes técnicas de ensino, identificar experiências didáticas exitosas, especialmente àquelas desenvolvidas na região norte do Brasil, e selecionar as consideradas mais pertinentes para o desenvolvimento do aluno na referida disciplina. Alguns fatores foram discutidos como: a importância da relação professor/aluno para o processo de construção dos novos conhecimentos, a relevância da contextualização do conteúdo e a aprendizagem significativa, a partir da valorização do conhecimento prévio. O artigo apresenta como proposição didática, trabalhar utilizando espaços não formais, experimentos simples, mapas conceituais e tecnologias digitais. Neste sentido, a disciplina de Biologia, assim como as outras áreas, precisa atender à formação integral do aluno nos anos finais da educação básica, preparando-o para atuar de forma autônoma em seus diferentes papéis sociais.
Compreensões de professoras dos anos iniciais sobre sexualidade humana no contexto do letramento científico
Authors: De Mesquita Adriano Santos
Published: June 2020

Relativo à linha temática Processos Formativos de Professores, o presente artigo apresenta recorte de uma pesquisa de mestrado, realizada em 2018, que investigou a sexualidade humana na perspectiva do letramento científico com professoras dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental. O objetivo neste recorte é analisar as compreensões de professoras dos anos iniciais a respeito da temática sexualidade humana no contexto do letramento científico. A pesquisa ocorreu em uma Escola de Ensino Fundamental da cidade de Belém-PA e contou com a participação de quatro docentes: polivalentes, efetivas, licenciadas como docentes e que atuam em turmas de 1º ao 5º ano. O material empírico foi produzido por meio de questionário, encontros pedagógicos, interações cotidianas e entrevista semiestruturada. Na análise das compreensões docentes foi empregada a Análise Textual Discursiva (ATD) (MORAES; GALIAZZI, 2016). Como resultados das análises, evidenciaram-se pensamentos e práticas escolares, relativos a conteúdos de sexualidade humana, de contornos tradicionais descontextualizados de aspectos sociais e culturais, e que se pautam ainda em padrões biológicos e sem enfoque à diversidade sexual e seus desdobramentos nas relações sociais, havendo ausência de situações reais efetivas de letramento científico, provocado pelo pouco conhecimento ou modos incipientes dessa abordagem em aula, sendo ainda uma prática em construção. O estudo aponta para a importância da compreensão da sexualidade em dimensões (biológica, social, emocional, cultural e religiosa) e o letramento científico como conceito novo de grande importância e que necessita ser vinculado às práticas sociais dos alunos dos anos iniciais do ensino fundamental.

Research note. Open letter to the users of the new PubMed: a critical appraisal
Authors: García-Puente María , Pastor-Ramon Elena , Agirre Oskia , Morán José-María , Herrera-Peco Iván
Published: June 2020

PubMed is a free database used daily by about 2.5 million people to search and retrieve scientific documents related to Health Sciences. In May 2020, certain changes were made to its search algorithm, which at first sight improves the location of scientific articles, but upon analyzing its operation in more depth, we detected some changes that make the reproducibility of bibliographic searches difficult. In order to safeguard the reproducibility and replicability of the searches carried out for systematic reviews, narratives and meta-analyzes, we suggest accompanying these strategies with a file in a format compatible with reference managers, to facilitate comparison and verification of the strategy to be replicated in a future.
Evaluating the Potential for Circulating Tumor Cells as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker in Various Cancer Types
Authors: Horton Crista E. , Horton Crista E. , Razaq Humza
Published: June 2020

Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) are cells that can be found circulating in the peripheral blood of cancer
patients. They originate from primary solid tumors and are thought to contribute to metastases and poor
prognosis. Since cancer treatment is shifting toward greater personalization, a major goal in the field is the
development of less invasive and more cost-effective measures in diagnosis, staging, treatment, prognostic
implications, and surveillance of cancer. Utilizing CTCs as a biomarker from a “liquid biopsy” or sample
of patients’ blood would be transformative in accomplishing this goal. In this review, we aim to critically
assess current pre-clinical and clinical literature over the past two decades implicating CTCs’ potential for
use as a predictive biomarker in various cancer types either in addition to or instead of current standards of
care. We also are interested in understanding several aspects of CTCs including the role CTCs play in
resistance to treatment, the immune system evasion properties of CTCs, the feasibility of using CTCs in
clinical practice, and the utility of CTCs for predicting outcomes including patient survival. Furthermore,
here we discuss gaps in the literature, limitations of CTCs, potential for their other uses, as well as the
significance of CTC detection in patients following surgery.
Management of Para-Aortic Lymph Node Metastasis in Rectal Squamous Carcinoma
Authors: Martins Mário Rino , Carneiro Lima Cecília Araújo , Ferreira Santos Lessa Juliana Karine , da Silva Luciana Mata , Martins Mário Rino , dos Santos Rogério Luiz
Published: June 2020

Background: Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the rectum is a rare malignancy, and retroperitoneal nodal
metastasis (RNM) represent 1-2% of colorectal cancer metastasis (CRC), and radical retroperitoneal
lymphadenectomy (RRL) in this setting remains controversial. However, there are no reports in the literature
on how to treat SCC retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis.
Case Presentation: The patient was a 47-years-old woman with SCC of the rectum. Concomitant
chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by surgery was planned. After 8 weeks, CT of the abdomen for
restaging showed a 6 cm para-aortic mass involving and obstructing the medium third of the left ureter. The
patient was submitted to abdominoperineal rectal resection with left nephrectomy and en-bloc resection of
para-aortic tumor (nodal bulking).
Conclusion: After a thorough review of the literature regarding RNM for rectal SCC, we found no mention
of how to treat RNM for rectal SCC. The purpose of this paper is to report a very rare case of RNM for
rectal SCC and to discuss the surgical approach. Surgery seems to be the best option for local control and
improvement in overall survival (OS).
