Divorce Agreements: Certain Theoretical and Practical Aspects
Authors: Mykhalniuk O.V.
Published: January 2021

The article deals with the problems of contractual regulation of the relationship between spouses in the process of divorce, determination of the terms of agreements on the maintenance, and the upbringing of children in the order according to Art. 109 Family Code of Ukraine, identification of contractual forms for settlement of other issues arising in the process of divorce, namely: division of property, separation of shares from the joint property of spouses, use of joint property, provision of housing interests of children, etc. Considerable attention was paid to the issues of improvement of Art. 109 of the Family Code of Ukraine. The view is expressed that the husband and wife, resolving the issue of divorce by mutual consent according to Art. 109 of the Family Code of Ukraine, are obliged on a contractual basis to determine the living conditions of children after divorce, by concluding two types of agreements:
the agreement on the exercise of parental rights and obligations (Part 1 of Article 109 of the Family Code); the agreement on the maintenance of the child to those of the parents who live separately or the agreement on the discontinuation of the right to alimony in exchange for the acquisition of ownership of real estate (Part 2 of Article 109 of the Family Code of Ukraine). It is also argued that a spouse in the divorce process may enter into a single agreement, combining the terms of both agreements (on maintenance and on upbringing). The main characteristic of the agreement on discontinuation of the right to alimony in exchange for the acquisition of the property right for real estate with the purpose of securing the housing rights of the children in divorce is investigated.
Given the need to resolve on a contractual basis a wide range of divorced life issues, it is proposed to consider family law agreements in the process of divorce in a narrow and broad sense. The article also analyzes the practical prerequisites for implementation a single comprehensive divorce agreement into the legislation of Ukraine, as well as proposes to distinguish it from the marriage contract in the case of divorce.

Keywords: divorce, simplified divorce procedure, contracts between spouses, upbringing and maintenance of children, discontinuation of the right to alimony.
Mobbing as a form of discrimination in labor relations in Ukraine and
in foreign countries
Authors: Kiselova O.I. , Kordunian I.V.
Published: January 2021

The subject of the article is mobbing as a form of discrimination in labor relations in Ukraine and in foreign countries. Based on the analysis of scientific works of Ukrainian and foreign scientists we identified and analyzed the concept of “mobbing”, its characteristics, causes, and consequences. Mobbing is defined as a form of human rights discrimination that involves the psychological and physical pressure exerted on an employee by an employer or workforce to achieve a specific goal, usually to force an employee to quit. The main manifestations of mobbing are harassment, distribution of gossip and false information, employee neglect, blackmail, sexual harassment, and other manifestations of moral and physical violence. Mobbing has its own structure that consists of a subject, object, and purpose. Usually, the subject is the employer or the workforce, and the object is the employee. The main features of mobbing are consistency, the presence of purpose, and the specific object and subject. Mobbing is not established in Ukraine at the legislative level. Attempts of regulation of mobbing
were the creation of two bills: «On amendments to some legislative acts of Ukraine concerning fighting against mobbing» and “On amendments to some legislative acts of Ukraine concerning combating against harassment (mobbing) and other manifestations of prejudice at work”. The purpose of these Projects is to protect employees’ rights against any harassment at work by imposing administrative liability in the form of a fine. However, at present these Projects have not been approved. Mobbing is a socially dangerous phenomenon. Its consequences can be stress, depression, sleep disorders, problems with mental health, problems with alcohol and drugs, even the emergence of suicidal thoughts. In this article, we are exploring the experience of mobbing settle in foreign countries, such as Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom. international experience proves that mobbing must be regulated at the legislative level. Based on the analysis of the responsibility for mobbing in foreign countries, we can conclude that the most effective is administrative responsibility.

Keywords: mobbing, discrimination, harassment, psychological pressure, physical pressure, labor relations.
A degeneracy bound for homogeneous topological order
Authors: Haah Jeongwan
Published: January 2021

We introduce a notion of homogeneous topological order, which is
obeyed by most, if not all, known examples of topological order
including fracton phases on quantum spins (qudits). The notion is a
condition on the ground state subspace, rather than on the Hamiltonian,
and demands that given a collection of ball-like regions, any linear
transformation on the ground space be realized by an operator that
avoids the ball-like regions. We derive a bound on the ground state
degeneracy \mathcal D𝒟
for systems with homogeneous topological order on an arbitrary closed
Riemannian manifold of dimension dd,
which reads [ D c (L/a)^{d-2}.] Here, LL
is the diameter of the system, aa
is the lattice spacing, and cc
is a constant that only depends on the isometry class of the manifold,
and \muμ
is a constant that only depends on the density of degrees of freedom. If
d=2d=2,
the constant cc
is the (demi)genus of the space manifold. This bound is saturated up to
constants by known examples.examples.

the first trimester of gestation
Authors: N.A. Venchikova, À.À. Ershova-Pavlova, I.V. Novikova et all
Published: January 2021

As part of the population-based prenatal screening of 900 pregnant women, who underwent 1st trimester
screening at the RPMC “Mother and Child” in 2018–2019, an ultrasound scan of the fetal palate was performed
to evaluate the effectiveness of new ultrasound markers in detecting orofacial clefts (OFC). Fetal palatal defects
were screened at a 2D assessment of bone markers of the palate – the image of the palatal line in the sagittal
section, the retronasal triangle in the coronary section, the alveolar arch of the upper jaw in the axial section.
If a palate abnormality was detected or suspected in the 2D study, the fetal palate was evaluated using the 3D
mode. In 50 pregnant women of the control group, 3D sonography of the fetal palate was performed in the
norm. In total, during the gestation period of 10+5–12+5 weeks, 10 cases of OFC were detected, of which 1 case
was a median lip/palate cleft (LPC), 6 — bilateral LPC, 1 — left-sided LPC, 1 — unspecified LPC, 1 — PC.
Visualization of 2D ultrasound markers was possible in 9 cases of palate anomalies, 3D assessment worked out
in all 10 cases. In all identified OFC cases, cytogenetic and/or pathomorphological studies were performed.

Authors: Li Xianghu , Hu Qi , Wang Rong , Zhang Dan , Zhang Qi
Published: January 2021

Changes in the timing of extreme precipitation have important ramifications for public safety and storm water management, but it has not received much attention in relation to flooding. This study analyzed the changes in the timing of extreme precipitation in the Poyang Lake basin and projected its future changes for the period 2020–2099. The study also quantified the influences of changes in the timing of peak flows on lake floods based on a hydrodynamic model. The results showed that peak rainfall in the Poyang Lake basin had occurred on later dates during the period 1960–2012, and it is this change that caused a delay in peak streamflows from five rivers in the lake basin. Moreover, the effects of these changes are expected to be more prominent during 2020–2099; for example, the rate of delay will be about 2.0 days per 10 years both for peak rainfall and for streamflow in the Poyang Lake basin. The hydrodynamic simulation further showed that a delay of peak streamflows from five rivers would significantly increase the flood level and outflow of the lake and also prolong the duration of floods. These results indicate that the risk of floods in Poyang Lake is likely to increase in the future, therefore making flood control in this region more challenging.

Authors: Peng Zhaoxu , Jiang Kun , Lou Tianyu , Niu Ningqi , Wang Ju
Published: January 2021

Solid-phase denitrification is a promising approach to enhance nitrate removal. In this work, polybutylene succinate (PBS) and peanut shell (PS) (with crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol–sodium alginate (PVA-SA) as carrier) were used to prepare a composite solid carbon source (3P) to denitrify the secondary effluent. The results showed that for carbon release performance, 3P had not only a large release of organics, like PS, but also the excellent sustainability of PBS. Among the short chain fatty acids released by PBS, PS, PVA-SA and 3P, the percentages of acetic acid were 59.42%, 72.54%, 72.29% and 92.11%, respectively. When 3P was used as external carbon source, denitrification performance could be enhanced with effluent dissolved organic carbon lower than 20 mg/L. The prepared 3P could improve denitrification, from both microbial and kinetic aspects. The relative abundance of Gammaproteobacteria increased from 39.32% to 43.58%, and the half saturation constant of the fitting Monod equation was 21.28 mg/L. The prepared 3P is an ideal carbon source for secondary effluent denitrification. Using multiple crosslinking methods to produce carrier is an effective way to show the properties of each material.

Published: January 2021

Aim:

To investigate the performance of multiple Light-curing Units (LCUs) of different manufacturers used in a dental student clinical setting.

Background:

Manufacturers claim that the irradiance values of the LCUs stay stable over time. However, this may not be accurate among the different units.

Objective:

This study investigated the performance in terms of the irradiance, radiant exposure, and DOC of multiple LCUs of different types used in a dental student clinical setting.

Methods:

Four different LCU were investigated (n=5 units/LCU manufacturer): three Light-Emitting-Diodes (LED) units (Demi Ultra, Mini LED, and E-Morlit) and one quartz-tungsten-halogen (QTH) (PolyluxII). Irradiance and radiant exposure were collected [Managing Accurate Resin Curing-Patient Simulator (MARC-PS)](n=5 readings/unit/tooth). Depth of Cure (DOC) was performed (ISO 4049:2009standards) using a micro-hybrid composite (n=5/unit). Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA followed by Student-Newman-Keuls and Tukey post hoc methods, respectively (α=0.05).

Results:

Using the MARC-PS anterior and posterior teeth sensors, respectively, the mean irradiance for Demi Ultra was (1625.7±38.8) and (1250.4±25.2); Mini LED (1381.1±37.8) and (1058.1±27.3); E-Morlit (1831.1±294.7) and (1545.2±176.0); and Polylux II (932.4±368.5) and (840.4±353.4)mW/cm2. The radiant exposure range was 16-38 J/cm2 for all LCUs. LCUs’ mean DOC ranged from 2.9 to 3.1 mm. Significant differences in irradiance and radiant exposure values were detected among the multiple units and manufacturers. Significant differences in DOC values among the Demi Ultra and Polylux II units were detected. DOC met the standards except for onePolylux II unit.

Conclusion:

The irradiance and radiant exposure values were not the same among the different units, regardless of the manufacturers’ claim of the irradiance values stability over time. Polymerization was not compromised except for one QTH unit per the DOC measurements. Itis highly recommended to closely monitor LCUs used in dental student clinical areas due to the high demand in this type of setting.

Authors: Lepcha Dawa C. , Goyal Bhawna , Dogra Ayush
Published: January 2021

Introduction:

Image Fusion is the method which conglomerates complimentary information from the source images to a single fused image
. There are numerous applications of image fusion in the current scenario such as in remote sensing, medical diagnosis, machine vision system, astronomy, robotics, military units, biometrics, and surveillance.

Objective:

In this case multi-sensor or multi-focus devices capture images of the particular scene which are complementary in the context of information content to each other. The details from complementary images are combined through the process of fusion into a single image by applying the algorithmic formulas. The main goal of image fusion is to fetch more and proper information from the primary or source images to the fused image by minimizing the loss of details of the images and by doing so to decrease the artifacts in the final image.

Methodology:

In this paper, we proposed a new method to fuse the images by applying a cross bilateral filter for gray level similarities and geometric closeness of the neighboring pixels without smoothing edges. Then, the detailed images obtained by subtracting the cross bilateral filter image output from original images are being filtered through the rolling guidance filter for scale aware operation. In particular, it removes the small-scale structures while preserving the other contents of the image and successfully recovers the edges of the detailed images. Finally, the images have been fused using a weighted computed algorithm and weight normalization.

Results:

The results have been validated and compared with various existing state-of-the-art methods both subjectively and quantitatively.

Conclusion:

It was observed that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods of image fusion.

Published: January 2021

The 5-Amino-2,3-dihydro-1,4-phthalazinedione known as Luminol is used mainly in hidden blood investigations. Therefore, the objective of this work is to develop a calculations routine using computational chemistry methods that properly describe the structure of luminol and its derivatives. Posteriorly, this routine will be used for the analysis and the proposition of new structures comparing the results with experimental data obtained in appropriate literature. Firstly, the Density Functional Theory (DFT) was used with the functional B3LYP/G, and the base function def2-TZVP in the ORCA program for modeling the structures. Thus, was verified the interference of the presence of solvent molecules close to the luminol molecule, the use of solvent as a dielectric continuum, the combination of both for a description of the solvent effect, and the use of relativistic functions to optimize results. Therefore, having obtained the preliminary results, we did the comparison with experimental data collected by other researchers.

Authors: Carvalho Cassius M. C. , Gargano Ricardo , Politi José Roberto S. , Martins João B. L.
Published: January 2021

This work evaluated the efficiency of the Diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method in determining potential energy curves (PECs) for diatomic systems. This evaluation was performed by determining rovibrational spectroscopic constants from PECs obtained for the HeH+ and LiH systems. The trial wave functions used are derived from the Hartree-Fock and MCSCF methods. The method used to calculate the spectroscopic constants was the Discrete Variable Representation (DVR) method. Thus, the PECs generated from the DMC produced the best results, being very close to the experimental results. Thus, the DMC method proved to be more efficient than the other methods used (MCSCF and CCSD(T)). The results obtained in this study indicate that the DMC-DVR methodology has a great potential to become a reference in the determination of spectroscopic properties.
Factors Affecting the Implementation, Use, and Adoption of Real-Time Location System Technology for Persons Living With Cognitive Disabilities in Long-term Care Homes: Systematic Review (Preprint)
Authors: Grigorovich Alisa , Kulandaivelu Yalinie , Newman Kristine , Bianchi Andria , Khan Shehroz S , Iaboni Andrea , McMurray Josephine
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

As the aging population continues to grow, the number of adults living with dementia or other cognitive disabilities in residential long-term care homes is expected to increase. Technologies such as real-time locating systems (RTLS) are being investigated for their potential to improve the health and safety of residents and the quality of care and efficiency of long-term care facilities.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study is to identify factors that affect the implementation, adoption, and use of RTLS for use with persons living with dementia or other cognitive disabilities in long-term care homes.

METHODS

We conducted a systematic review of the peer-reviewed English language literature indexed in MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, and CINAHL from inception up to and including May 5, 2020. Search strategies included keywords and subject headings related to cognitive disability, residential long-term care settings, and RTLS. Study characteristics, methodologies, and data were extracted and analyzed using constant comparative techniques.

RESULTS

A total of 12 publications were included in the review. Most studies were conducted in the Netherlands (7/12, 58%) and used a descriptive qualitative study design. We identified 3 themes from our analysis of the studies: barriers to implementation, enablers of implementation, and agency and context. Barriers to implementation included lack of motivation for engagement; technology ecosystem and infrastructure challenges; and myths, stories, and shared understanding. Enablers of implementation included understanding local workflows, policies, and technologies; usability and user-centered design; communication with providers; and establishing policies, frameworks, governance, and evaluation. Agency and context were examined from the perspective of residents, family members, care providers, and the long-term care organizations.

CONCLUSIONS

There is a striking lack of evidence to justify the use of RTLS to improve the lives of residents and care providers in long-term care settings. More research related to RTLS use with cognitively impaired residents is required; this research should include longitudinal evaluation of end-to-end implementations that are developed using scientific theory and rigorous analysis of the functionality, efficiency, and effectiveness of these systems. Future research is required on the ethics of monitoring residents using RTLS and its impact on the privacy of residents and health care workers.

Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Cognitive impairment is one of the most debilitating manifestations of multiple sclerosis. Currently, the assessment of cognition relies on a time-consuming and extensive neuropsychological examination, which is only available in some centers.

OBJECTIVE

To enable simpler, more accessible cognitive screening, we sought to determine the feasibility and potential assessment sensitivity of an unsupervised, adaptive, video game–based digital therapeutic to assess cognition in multiple sclerosis.

METHODS

A total of 100 people with multiple sclerosis (33 with cognitive impairment and 67 without cognitive impairment) and 24 adults without multiple sclerosis were tested with the tablet game (EVO Monitor) and standard measures, including the Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (which included the Symbol Digit Modalities Test [SDMT]) and Multiple Sclerosis Functional Composite 4 (which included the Timed 25-Foot Walk test). Patients with multiple sclerosis also underwent neurological evaluations and contributed recent structural magnetic resonance imaging scans. Group differences in EVO Monitor performance and the association between EVO Monitor performance and standard measures were investigated.

RESULTS

Participants with multiple sclerosis and cognitive impairment showed worse performance in EVO Monitor compared with participants without multiple sclerosis (P=.01) and participants with multiple sclerosis without cognitive impairment (all P<.002). Regression analyses indicated that participants with a lower SDMT score showed lower performance in EVO Monitor (r=0.52, P<.001). Further exploratory analyses revealed associations between performance in EVO Monitor and walking speed (r=–0.45, P<.001) as well as brain volumetric data (left thalamic volume: r=0.47, P<.001; right thalamic volume: r=0.39, P=.002; left rostral middle frontal volume: r=0.28, P=.03; right rostral middle frontal volume: r=0.27, P=.03).

CONCLUSIONS

These findings suggest that EVO Monitor, an unsupervised, video game–based digital program integrated with adaptive mechanics, is a clinically valuable approach to measuring cognitive performance in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Authors: de Jersey Susan , Meloncelli Nina , Guthrie Taylor , Powlesland Hilary , Callaway Leonie , Chang Angela T , Wilkinson Shelley , Comans Tracy , Eakin Elizabeth
Published: January 2021

BACKGROUND

Despite comprehensive guidelines for healthy gestational weight gain (GWG) and evidence for the efficacy of dietary counseling coupled with weight monitoring on reducing excessive GWG, reporting on the effectiveness of interventions translated into routine antenatal care is limited.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to implement and evaluate the Living Well during Pregnancy (LWdP) program in a large Australian antenatal care setting. Specifically, the LWdP program will be incorporated into usual care and delivered to a population of pregnant women at risk of excessive GWG through a dietitian-delivered telephone coaching service.

METHODS

Metrics from the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework will guide the evaluation in this hybrid effectiveness-implementation study. All women aged ≥16 years without pre-exiting diabetes with a prepregnancy BMI >25 kg/m2 and gaining weight above recommendations at <20 weeks’ gestation who are referred for dietetic care during the 12-month study period will be eligible for participation. The setting is a metropolitan hospital at which approximately 6% of the national births in Australia take place each year. Eligible participants will receive up to 10 telecoaching calls during their pregnancy. Primary outcomes will be service level indicators of reach, adoption, and implementation that will be compared with a retrospective control group, and secondary effectiveness outcomes will be participant-reported anthropometric and behavioral outcomes; all outcomes will be assessed pre- and postprogram completion. Additional secondary outcomes relate to the costs associated with program implementation and pregnancy outcomes gathered through routine clinical service data.

RESULTS

Data collection of all variables was completed in December 2020, with results expected to be published by the end of 2021.

CONCLUSIONS

This study will evaluate the implementation of an evidence-based intervention into routine health service delivery and will provide the practice-based evidence needed to inform decisions about its incorporation into routine antenatal care.

Considerable variability of the Evenki phonological system and its realization patterns as well as its endangered status determine the urgent need for considering paradigmatic and syntagmatic phonological differences among Evenki accents and between accents and standard Evenki. The current paper presents the results of an acoustic study of a-like accent forming in the Selemdzha accent. On the one hand, the obtained results clearly indicate consistent substitute of canonical /ɜː/ with open a-like sound. On the other hand, canonical /aː/ tokens demonstrated greater openness compared to the ones that replaced canonical /ɜː/. In addition, there was considerable across-speaker variation concerning the feature of advancement-retraction. No significant duration difference was discovered. Further study is necessary to find out if the obtained acoustic difference is perceptually relevant.

The results clearly indicate the replacement of the Evenki language from all spheres of its use by the dominating Russian language. We also performed a pilot study of spontaneous speech of one of the few representatives of the Evenki ethnos who are fluent in their native language. Frequency and peculiarities of Russian insertions into Evenki speech are demonstrated.

The article focuses upon the features of the semantic potential of the emotive causative reizen. Emotive causatives are understood as causative verbs denoting interpersonal interaction resulting in modification of the emotional and psychological state of the subject. There are causatives actualizing positive and negative tone as well as axiological neutral state. The peculiarity of the verb reizen is that it can actualize all the three variants of emotional modification. The research is carried out in the aspect of functional grammar on the example of the semantic categories of causativeness, intensity and instrumentality and the interaction of these three categories. The aim of the article is to consider the cognitive scenario of the emotive causative reizen and expand its semantic potential as a result of intercategory interaction. The object of analysis is the features of the above emotive verb. The focus of our analysis is the semantic potential of this lexeme. Research methods are the following: contextual analysis, generalization and interpretation of the linguistic material...

In this work, the data on the features of speech development in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and with Down syndrome (DS) are presented. Methods of perceptual experiment and instrumental analysis were used. It is shown that in typically developing (TD) children the values of vowel articulation index of stressed vowels in words are maximal in comparison with the corresponding characteristic in children with ASD and children with DS. The words of children with ASD are characterized by high pitch values of words and stressed vowels as well as high values of vowel articulation index. The words of children with DS, besides high pitch values of words and stressed vowels noticed for children with ASD, had maximum duration of words and stressed vowels, low values of the vowel articulation index of stressed vowels. In children with DS, more types of consonant phonemes were not formed compared to children with ASD and TD ones; in addition, children with DS used consonants that do not exist in the Russian language.

B. A. SEREBRENNIKOV AS TURKOLOGIST-COMPARATIVIST AND PROBLEMS OF ALTAIC STUDIES

B. A. Serebrennikov’s biography is an excellent example of scientific preparation and research of a universal comparativist who was able to resolve challenging issues of historical-comparative studies of languages belonging to different language families and groups. Criticizing Altaic theory as a theory of Altaic languages kinship, B. A. Serebrennikov did not completely reject it; he compared the challenge with Turkic, Mongolian and Tungus-Manchurian languages to the one that researchers face in their historic-comparative studies of languages from other families. Despite the criticism of certain statements of his opponents, he did not aim at ruining the Altaic theory as such but called on researchers to improve it through looking for better proof for the kinship. After 30 years since publishing of B. A. Serebrennikov’s works, the orthodox Altaic concept that acknowledges the kinship of Turkic, Mongolian, Tungus-Manchurian, Korean and Japanese languages has made their positions stronger, Turkic-Mongolian-Tungus-Manchurian contacts and lexical isoglosses have been enriched by new material, and “Counter-Altaic” concept denying the kinship of Altaic languages has perished as a theory not having found enough positive facts to support itself.
SEMANTIC EVOLUTION OF BASIC MENTAL LEXICAL UNITS (BASED ON INTERLINGUAL CORRESPONDENCES IN SIBERIAN TURKIC, KIRGHIZ AND MONGOLIAN LANGUAGES)
Authors:   MARIA D. CHERTYKOVA Humanitarian Researches and the Sayan-Altay Tyurkologiya of Katanov Khakass State University, Chertykova Maria D.
Published: January 2021

The present article views the basic interlingual lexical correspondences expressing mental meanings in the Siberian Turkic, Kirghiz and Mongolian languages. In these languages, mental tokens are few; they are characterized by a ramified semantic structure and polysemy. In the semantics of the lexemes considered, the mental component prevails, less often the emotional component takes priority. The fixation of certain relevant properties for specific lexemes is associated with their combining abilities.
THE VERBAL STEM WITH THE SUFFIX -ӇА / -ӇЭ IN THE EVEN LANGUAGE
Authors:   Sardana I. Sharina The Institute for Humanities Research and Indigenous Studies of the North Russian Academy of Sciences Siberian Branch, Sharina Sardana I.
Published: January 2021

The article deals with an analytical construction with a predicate actant, expressed by the verbal stem with the suffix -ӈа / -ӈэ, to which the finite form of the negative auxiliary verb with the meaning «can not be, can not» is added. Brief review of literature describing the Even grammar of various dialects shows contradictory status of this stem, although it is present in all Even dialects and local accents explored. Grammatical features that exclude the presence of the categories of time, case including possessive form, and the impossibility of changing number are used to reject the traditional statement of referring the verbal stem with the suffix -ӈа / -ӈэ to attributive participles. Judging by its semantics, morphological and syntactic features, words with -ӈа / -ӈэ, should be rather classified as adverbial participles that denote impossibility / reluctance to perform an action.
"PLURALISM" OF ENGLISH BORROWINGS SPELLING AND MS WORD
Authors:   Elina K. Lavoshnikova Lomonosov Moscow State University, Lavoshnikova Elina K.
Published: January 2021

The current paper is a continuation of a series of our works concerning the issue of spelling variance of old and new borrowings from English into Russian written speech. This variance is illustrated by numerous examples from 6 modern dictionaries where we can observe different spelling of the same words borrowed from American English. A certain part of spelling recommended by those dictionaries is not what people use while word processing. The examples show that Microsoft Word ® 2016™ (modification of 2018) does not always follow the spelling rules adopted by the dictionaries of the 21st century. Microsoft Word processor legalizes alternative spelling variants of those borrowings as far as it does not signal any error while processing them. In our paper, we argue that Microsoft Word users should not completely rely on results of such spelling checks and be particularly careful about hyphenated borrowings that turn out most vulnerable.
Afinando silêncios: potencialidades de escolas outras na atualidade do presente
Authors: Guimarães Carvalho Juciara , Rodrigues Mendes Jackeline
Published: January 2021

Esse texto tem como propósito problematizar as territorializações da escola neoliberal, que se entranha cada vez mais no cenário brasileiro, gerando visibilidade às relações temporais e espaciais, não dissociáveis, de suas práticas escolares, intensificadas por um contexto de pandemia. Isso implica inevitavelmente e diríamos urgentemente pensar sobre escolas outras que desterritorializem essa lógica neoliberal e potencializem modos outros de fazer pulsar a vida, de habitar tempos e espaços outros e de constituir formas de vida escolares outras. Algo contrário a qualquer processo de reterritorialização neoliberal que intensifica e acelera as desigualdades de vidas. Com isso, não se trata de propor um modelo de escola, menos ainda, considerar a escola como sendo uma tela de computador e professores os mais novos influencers digitais, mas potencializar que outros arranjos pulsem diferentemente em nosso fazer escola na escola, principalmente na atualidade do presente. Trata-se de afinar os silêncios que nos habitam, alguns deles fortemente invisibilizados pelas práticas dominantes, e educar a atenção corpórea para perceber que a quietude inquietante, causada pelo isolamento social, pode nos ensinar algo. A saber, a necessidade de desacelerar, de ir mais devagar, de perceber que a força mortífera, caótica e devastadora de uma pandemia nos colocou para pensar sobre os valores da vida, das vidas escolares, mas também produziu forças inventivas gerando possibilidades e resistências para compor outros acordes vitais, ainda não pensados e vividos em nossos assujeitamentos. Essa composição músico-textual foi dividida em dois movimentos: no primeiro, problematizamos as práticas que decorrem do neoliberalismo escolar e, no segundo, discutimos sobre as potencialidades ao desestabilizar o território chamado escola, pensadas a partir da composição de outros ritmos escolares.
Políticas curriculares para adiar o fim do mundo e poéticas sobre a existência na educação escolar indígena
Authors: de Souza Gomes Ubiratã Jorge , Do Valle Júlio
Published: January 2021

O propósito deste texto consiste em resgatar e discutir experiências realizadas no campo das políticas curriculares da/na educação escolar indígena, inspiradas diretamente pela Etnomatemática ou com ela capazes de estabelecer substantivas conexões, em especial diante do contexto de rápida expansão do contágio do vírus Covid-19. Para isso, consideram-se as pesquisas-práticas-políticas recentemente mobilizadas por membros-pesquisadores do Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisa em Etnomatemática (GEPEm) da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de São Paulo, que têm se dedicado ao currículo e às suas políticas em seus estudos e investigações. Valemo-nos dos graves aprendizados decorrentes da experiência ameaçadora da Pandemia em que nos encontramos para compreender o território das políticas curriculares como local privilegiado para os debates que ensejam diferentes, contraditórios e complexos, pontos de vistas, interesses e relações de poder desiguais. Nesse contexto, tratamos de possíveis e potenciais contribuições das pesquisas sobre os currículos, inspiradas pela Etnomatemática, para tensionar e desestabilizar as compreensões de currículo (e) de matemática, ao passo em que também apresentamos e discutimos político-práticas capazes de nos oferecer subsídios consistentes, necessários à resistência e à reinvenção curricular que propomos.
