The authors emphasize the importance of a competitive democratic process, in which political parties participate, and which determines the "winners" and "losers", the degree of participation of parties in the system of government and political decision-making. In addition, the tendency of constant transformation and adaptation of parties to the challenges of the times, changes in the configuration of party actors (increasing the influence of populists, left-wing and nationalist parties) is also obvious. The object of the research is political parties in national parties that are influenced by domestic and foreign political factors. The subject of the research is changes in the content and orientation of the activities of political parties, transformational shifts in the party systems of national states. The election campaigns of various levels (presidential, parliamentary, regional, local) in a number of countries in the world in 2020 clearly confirmed two main trends in relation to the institution of political parties. Moreover, these trends in many respects contradict each other. On the one hand, this competitive electoral, as well as the political process in general, is impossible without political parties. On the other hand, in various societies with different historical, cultural and civilizational traditions, there are still serious claims to this institution of the political system, a request for renewal of elements of national parties.

Authors: Fabrim Elisiane , Jasper André , Konrad Odorico
Published: December 2020

Os biomas são essenciais para o equilíbrio ambiental e à sobrevivência de populações humanas. Para a perpetuação da vida nos biomas, é necessário o estabelecimento de políticas públicas ambientais. Para que esta gestão seja sustentável é necessário realizar planejamentos e implementar legislações adequadas às características do município e que regrem seus usos. Para isso, a gestão pública conta com o Plano Diretor. Nesse contexto, foi analisado se a elaboração do Plano Diretor do município de Três de Maio/RS, atende à Legislação que estabelece a proteção do bioma em que o município está inserido, no caso a Mata Atlântica, conforme dados do IBGE de 2004. O estudo caracteriza-se por uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa com investigação exploratória e quanto aos procedimentos técnicos para coleta de dados utilizou-se de pesquisa bibliográfica, documental. Constatou-se que o Plano Diretor do município, foi elaborado com base no Código Florestal Brasileiro- lei nº 4.771/65, (o qual foi revogado pela Lei Federal nº 12.651/2012) e a lei estadual nº 9.519, de 21 de janeiro de 1992, que institui o Código Florestal do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, revogada pela lei 15.434/20. Cumprindo, portanto em partes seu papel de proteção e promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável deste município. No entanto, o município precisa atualizar o Plano Diretor incluindo a legislação do bioma Mata Atlântica e Pampa, já que houve uma nova delimitação das áreas. Assim poderá, efetivamente contribuir com a conservação e preservação dos recursos naturais e proporcionar melhor qualidade de vida a população.
Model instytucji nadzoru prewencyjnego w systemie zadań profilaktycznych kuratorów dla dorosłych
Authors: Goworko-Składanek Beata , Prymak Tomasz
Published: December 2020

Instytucja nadzoru prewencyjnego bazuje na znanych rozwiązaniach obecnych w obowiązującym prawie. W zamyśle jest to środek oddziaływania pozakarnego, który mógłby być stosowany przez sądy rodzinne w  sytuacji wystąpienia przemocy w  rodzinie. Nadzór ten nakładany byłby na osoby stosujące przemoc, wobec których działania podjęte przez grupy robocze Lokalnych Zespołów Interdyscyplinarnych byłyby nieskuteczne, a jej zachowania nie wypełniałyby znamion przestępstwa z użyciem przemocy popełnionego na szkodę najbliższych osób. Środek ten miałby na celu dodatkowo wzmocnienie oddziaływań podejmowanych przez członków wspomnianych grup roboczych. Wykonywany byłby przez kuratorów dla dorosłych, którzy są podmiotem wyspecjalizowanym w  pracy z  osobami dorosłymi występującymi przeciwko obowiązującemu porządkowi prawnemu. Instytucja ta poszerza katalog uprawnień kuratora sądowego dla dorosłych. Jednocześnie jest nowym rozwiązaniem, które daje nowe możliwości walki z przemocą w rodzinie.
Skuteczność odbytego dozoru elektronicznego w opinii skazanych mężczyzn
Authors: Lewicka-Zelent Agnieszka
Published: December 2020

W literaturze przedmiotu podkreśla się, że odbywanie kary pozbawienia wolności nie jest skutecznym sposobem zapobiegania kolejnym przestępstwom dokonywanym przez byłych osadzonych. Dlatego poszukuje się alternatyw dla kary izolacyjnej, wśród których wskazuje się objęcie sprawcy dozorem elektronicznym. O ile dość jasne są przepisy prawne dotyczące tego rozwiązania, o tyle nadal niewiele jest danych dotyczących jego skutków. W związku z tym podjęto badania, których celem było poznanie opinii mężczyzn odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności na temat skuteczności dozoru, jakim byli objęci w przeszłości. W badaniu wykorzystano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego i zastosowano kwestionariusz ankiety własnego autorstwa. Uczestniczyło w nim 229 mężczyzn, którzy objęci byli dozorem elektronicznym, a w czasie badania przebywali w warunkach izolacji penitencjarnej. Uzyskane wyniki potwierdzają przewagę pozytywnych opinii skazanych na temat odbytego dozoru. Ta subiektywna ocena nie do końca pokrywa się jednak z obiektywną, dokonywaną w perspektywie powrotności do przestępstwa i stosunkowo niewielkiej uciążliwości SDE traktowanego jako kara. Wyniki badania skłaniają do refleksji nad przeprowadzaniem szczegółowej diagnozy oskarżonych poprzedzającej decyzję sądu o objęciu ich dozorem elektronicznym.

Authors: Majewska Kamila
Published: December 2020

Jak wykazują liczne badania, sieć oraz interaktywne narzędzia zaczynają determinować działania całego społeczeństwa, nie tylko osób młodych. W konsekwencji nowe technologie, jako powszechnie stosowane i akceptowane, winny być również włączane do działań profilaktycznych i resocjalizacyjnych – jako element wspierający i urozmaicający powyższe. Pytanie – czy jesteśmy na to gotowi? Jaką wiedzę i umiejętności w tym zakresie posiadają studenci – przyszli pracownicy ośrodków wychowawczych, schronisk dla nieletnich czy zakładów poprawczych? Czy i w jakim stopniu wiedza na temat czynników sprzyjających skutecznej profilaktyce motywuje ich do poznawania interaktywnych metod nauczania oraz narzędzi dydaktycznych wspierających działania profilaktyczne? Artykuł jest między innymi próbą odpowiedzi na powyższe pytania. Przedłożone czytelnikowi badania miały charakter cykliczny i powtarzane były rokrocznie przez 5 lat.

Authors: Coelho-Costa Ewerton Reubens
Published: December 2020

a obra “Food and faith: A theology of eating”, de Norman Wirzba, editada em inglês e ainda sem tradução no Brasil, vai além de analisar esses aspectos básicos quando fornece uma abrangente estrutura teológica para analisar a importância da comida e do comer, com contribuições diversificadas advindas da antropologia, da filosofia e, é claro, da teologia que permitem considerar maneiras de avaliar práticas de consumo, produção de alimentos e a economia industrial de alimentos da contemporaneidade. Trata de um livro de teologia para cristãos, e não um livro puro e simples sobre comida, mas que aborda o assunto alimentação e comida e os localiza na sacralidade do Reino de Deus.
NA ROTA DOS CABOCLOS
Authors: Rabelo Miriam , Flaksman Clara
Published: December 2020

Presentes em muitas religiões de matriz afroindígena, caboclos são entidades plásticas, que escapam a definições precisas e se destacam pelo seu movimento. Levando a sério essa propensão dos caboclos ao movimento, este texto evita perguntas relativas à origem ou natureza dessas entidades em favor de uma abordagem que acompanha seus trajetos, buscando identificar os efeitos de suas passagens pelas vidas das pessoas e terreiros baianos onde atuam. Conforme mostra, nas casas em que têm papel de destaque, os caboclos performam uma topologia móvel que aproxima e junta de maneiras variáveis tempos, paisagens e práticas diversas. No seu movimento, os caboclos ajudam a compor o terreiro como espaço em que novas conexões podem se produzir. Se o resultado dessa composição pode ser chamado de mistura, é importante ressaltar que o sentido de mistura aqui é social: remete à possibilidade de convivência entre seres diferentes.
"CABOCLO É TUDO": ALIANÇA COMO CORRENTE
Authors: Nóbrega Márcia
Published: December 2020

Este artigo dedica-se a pensar a relação que alguns habitantes da Ilha do Massangano, uma ilha situada no trecho submédio do rio São Francisco, estabelecem com entidades por eles chamadas de “caboclos”. O que argumento é que, por viverem em uma terra no meio de águas, organizam sua relação com tais entidades a partir de uma composição com as correntezas que os cercam. A correnteza das águas dá força às correntes de caboclos, como eles as nomeiam. Nesse sentido, para fazer a vida perseverar, mobilizam regimes de aliança, ao modo de uma corrente, com os caboclos, a terra, a água.
FAZENDO POLÍTICA EM OUTROS CONGRESSOS: TRAMAS RELIGIOSAS, PRÁTICAS MIDIÁTICAS E A ESTÉTICA DA POLÍTICA NAS PERIFERIAS URBANAS DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Authors: Barboza Machado Carly
Published: December 2020

Tendo por base a etnografia realizada no Congresso Internacional de Missões - CIM - organizado pelo Ministério Flordelis há mais de 10 anos no Rio de Janeiro, proponho-me a discutir a relação entre pentecostalismo, mídia e política, explorando as possibilidades de uma pesquisa em um evento religioso, e procurando assim priorizar, a partir deste recorte, as formações e transformações de campos religiosos e políticos. Articulado a uma antropologia de eventos, sugiro um debate acerca das escalas da ação política, e da formação e decomposição de alianças nestes contextos dinâmicos. Destaca-se ainda no presente artigo uma discussão sobre a estética da política no Brasil contemporâneo, partindo da centralidade da mídia pentecostal neste processo, e pensando em particular a mediação da música gospel no fazer da política nas periferias do Rio de Janeiro nos últimos anos.

Electrical Conductivity Inversion Method of Saline Soil based on Sentinel-2 MSI data
Authors: Sun Yishan , Li Xiaojie , Jiang Tao , Zheng Xingming , Liang Zhengwei
Published: December 2020

Electrical conductivity (EC) is not only an important index to evaluate
the degree of soil salinization, but also an essential basis for judging
whether saline soil can be improved and assess the effect of improvement
efforts. Satellite remote sensing provides much information for large
scale EC inversion of saline soil, which enables the possibility for
evaluating the degree and distribution of soil salinization. Taking the
salinized region of western Jilin Province as the study area, 328
salinized soil samples were collected, and the EC was measured in June
2019. The construction of the optimal spectral parameters was based on
the correlation between the conductivity and the spectral reflectivity
of Sentinel-2 MSI data; after satisfying the normal distribution for the
Box-Cox transformation of EC, the inversion model of EC was established
by using linear regression model, support vector machine (SVM),
regression tree (RT), Gaussian process regression (GPR), and ensemble
tree (ET). The verification results of the model on the validation set
showed that the performance of GPR was optimal (R2 = 0.66, RMSE = 0.48
mS/cm, MAE=0.52 mS/cm), which increased R2 by 29.04% compared with the
traditional linear regression model. Finally, according to the GPR
model, the EC results of pixel-level resolution (10 m × 10 m) of saline
soil in western Jilin Province were inversed, which provided a
scientific basis for the study of the distribution characteristics and
improvement scheme of saline soil.

Thermal instability of magnetoconvection in a horizontal bidispersive
porous layer, uniformly heated from below, is analyzed. To study the
linear stability theory, we perturbed the basic state with
small-amplitude disturbances. Then, the governing dimensionless
equations are solved using the normal modes. By employing the one-term
Galerkin weighted residuals method, the critical values of Rayleigh
numbers for the onset of stationary and oscillatory instability, have
been determined. The effect of Chandrasekhar number on the system was
analyzed.
Effect of Endoscopic Versus Open Saphenous Vein Harvesting Technique on Leg Wound Complications
Authors: Mubarak Yasser
Published: December 2020

Background: EVH has become prevalent in recent years due to its reduced
morbidity and increased patient satisfaction. We designed and carried
out a prospective study of patients undergoing CABG to compare outcomes
of open versus endoscopic harvesting technique for great saphenous vein.
Two groups of patients who underwent elective Coronary artery bypass
grafting at our hospitals between January 2018 and October 2020 were
included. Endoscopic vein harvesting group (50 patients) was performed
endoscopic technique compared with Open Vein Harvesting group (50
patients) was performed open surgical incision for harvesting. Both
groups were demographically similar and received identical management.
Leg wound was evaluated at discharge, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks for evidence
of complications. Early outcomes were compared included, infection,
gaped wound and re-suture, pain, satisfied cosmetically and
mobilization. Results: Endoscopic vein harvesting group had increased
harvest time and decreased incision closure time when compared with Open
Vein Harvesting. The average hospitalization time was 6.5 ± 2.2 days for
Endoscopic vein harvesting group and 9.2 ± 2.9 days for Open Vein
Harvesting group. In Endoscopic vein harvesting group, no significant
hematomas were observed. In Open Vein Harvesting group, hematomas were
detected in 2 patients and were surgically evacuated. In Endoscopic vein
harvesting group, edema occurred less frequently. Infection of the
incision location did not occur in Endoscopic vein harvesting group. Leg
wound complications were significantly reduced in Endoscopic vein
harvesting group in comparison with Open Vein Harvesting group.
Conclusions: Endoscopic vein harvesting decreases leg wound
complications and increases patient’s satisfaction cosmetically.

Development and internal validation of a model predicting severe maternal morbidity using variables available pre-conception and in early pregnancy: a population-based study
Authors: Dayan Natalie , Shapirio Gabriel , Luo Jin , Guan Jun , Fell Deshayne , Laskin Carl , Basso Olga , Park Alison , Ray Joel
Published: December 2020

Objective: To improve the prediction of maternal end-organ injury or
death using routinely-collected variables from the pre-pregnancy and the
early pregnancy period. Design: Population-based cohort study using
linked administrative health data. Setting: Ontario, Canada, April 1,
2006 to March 31, 2014. Sample: Women aged 18-60 years with a livebirth
or stillbirth, of which one birth was randomly selected per woman.
Methods and main outcome measures: We constructed a CPM for the primary
composite outcome of any maternal end-organ injury or death, arising
between 20 weeks’ gestation and 42 days after the birth hospital
discharge date. Our CPM included variables collected from 12 months
before estimated conception until 19 weeks’ gestation. We developed a
separate CPM for parous women to allow for the inclusion of factors from
previous pregnancy(ies). Results: Of 634,290 women, 1969 experienced the
primary composite outcome (3.1 per 1000). Predictive factors in the main
CPM included maternal world region of origin, chronic medical
conditions, parity, and obstetrical/perinatal issues – with moderate
model discrimination (C-statistic 0.68, 95% CI 0.66-0.69). Among
333,435 parous women, the C-statistic was 0.71 (0.69-0.73) in the model
using variables from the current (index) pregnancy as well as
pre-pregnancy predictors and variables from any previous pregnancy.
Conclusions: A combination of factors ascertained early in pregnancy
through a basic medical history help to identify women at risk for
severe morbidity, who may benefit from targeted preventive and
surveillance strategies including appropriate specialty-based antenatal
care pathways. Further refinement of this model would enable clinical
use.

Published: December 2020

One of the modern education problems being investigated is a phenomenon of student procrastination and minimisation of its influence on achievement of career goals. A transformative pedagogical experiment was carried out involving 1st year engineering students of Latvia University of Life Sciences and Technologies during the 2018/2019 academic year. The aim of the transformative pedagogical experiment was to promote the reduction of student procrastination levels and achievement of their goals by practical experimental approbation of a career education program. During the experiment, self-evaluation of student procrastination was performed before and after the implementation of the career education program. The methodology included 20 indicators of procrastination self-evaluation. The program included three topic-based parts: 1) understanding and setting student career goals; 2) defining procrastination levels and factors; 3) the influence of procrastination minimisation on career goals’ achievement. The study results allowed to conclude that due to the career education program elaborated and implemented in practice, substantial changes in student procrastination self-evaluation took place during the transformative pedagogical experiment. There was a significant difference in student procrastination levels before and after the transformative pedagogical experiment. The study results demonstrated that the elaborated and experimentally implemented career education program is valid and can be further used for minimisation of student procrastination, it can contribute to career goals’ achievement and for the reduction of early discontinuation of studies and dropping out of university as there is a correlation between procrastination and dropout phenomena.

Experimental and numerical simulation on buried hot fuel oil pipelines in three modes flow regime considering temperature loss during a shutdown
Authors: Dehdarinejad Mohsen , Behbahani-Nejad Morteza , Hajidavalloo Ebrahim
Published: December 2020

Aiming to study the temperature distribution along buried pipelines containing hot fuel oil, a new large-scale laboratory is constructed from the perspective of the corresponding fluid thermophysical properties. Also, a modeling of the pipe-line, and the soil around it, was performed along the pipeline for observation of all three modes of turbulent, laminarization, and laminar flow, which is validated by experimental results. Furthermore, the appropriate data are also gathered from the actual pipeline, 107 km of the 26? pipeline between Abadan Refinery and Mahshahr Port, and the results of the experiment and modeling are reconfirmed. The experiment shows that the viscosity and fluid density of fuel oil is strongly temperature-dependent. Many experiments are performed on the parameters affected by temperature according to their importance. The method chosen to simulate three flow modes along the pipeline shows less than 2% error in turbulent and laminar zones and reveals just a 3% error to experimental data in the laminar region. The maximum safe time during the stopping period of the pipe-line and holding fuel oil in it is calculated based on the pour point of fuel oil. This time is critical for the real pipeline in sudden shutdown and is calculated 41 hours.

Authors: Mugosa Snezana , Dzamic Zoran , Sahman-Zaimovic Majda , Lukovac-Janjic Nevenka
Published: December 2020

Background/Aim. Kidney tumors account for 2?3% of all tumors. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the tenth most common malignancy. Sunitinib is used as the first treatment line in patients with a good and intermediate prognosis. The aim of this study was to analyze the risk factors, frequency, and adverse drug reactions (ADRs) of sunitinib in patients with metastatic RCC. Methods. The retrospective study included 170 patients treated at the Clinic for Oncology of the Clinical Center of Montenegro, Urology Clinic of the Clinical Center of Serbia, and Clinic for Oncology of the Clinical Center Nis. As a data source, we used patient medical histories and/or electronic patient records. ADRs were characterized by using Rawlins and Thompson classification. Each ADRs severity was assessed in accordance with the World Health Organization criteria. Causality was assessed using the Naranjo probability scale. Results. ADRs of sunitinib occurred in 152 (89.4%) patients. ADRs were 89% type A and 11% type C. Disorders of the blood and lymphatic system, gastrointestinal disorders, and disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue were the most common manifestations of ADRs of sunitinib. Causality assessment was most commonly classified as certain (60%). Serious ADRs occurred in 4.5% of patients. Most patients recovered without consequences. The most common manifestations of ADRs were: leukopenia, hypothyroidism, thrombocytopenia, diarrhea, stomatitis, asthenia, and hypertension. All ADRs were expected. The number of concomitant medications and the duration of therapy proved to be the most significant risk factors for ADR to sunitinib. Conclusion. Our study shows that the incidence of ADRs of sunitinib in patients with kidney cancer is high. The ADRs were mostly moderate and mild in intensity and occurred as a consequence of the pharmacological action of the drug. It is necessary to conduct continuous education of medical oncologists in the field of monitoring safe drug use, as well as patients on sunitinib therapy, in order to improve their awareness of the sunitinib ADRs and the risk factors that lead to them, with the aim of reducing their frequency.

Published: December 2020

Objectives

To compare the primary stability of miniscrews after repeated cycles of insertion through insertion torque (IT) measurements and resonance frequency analysis (RFA).

Materials and Methods

Sixty titanium miniscrews were divided into two groups according to the insertion protocol: one with predrilled sites and the other self-drilled into porcine iliac crest bone specimens. Each group had three cycles of reinsertion. After each insertion, the IT and RFA were measured. The IT was measured by using a torque meter, and the RFA was measured using the Osstell ISQ device. A total of five miniscrews of each group were selected for sequential assessment of the morphology of their tip and threads using scanning electron microscopy after each insertion cycle.

Results

No statistically significant differences were found in the IT values of miniscrews reinserted up to three times in the group with predrilled surgical sites. The IT value increased significantly with the number of reinsertions in the self-drilled group. The RFA value decreased as the number of insertions increased in both groups.

Conclusions

Under the conditions of this in vitro study, reinserting miniscrews deteriorates the integrity of their tip and thread. Reinsertion should be discouraged particularly when insertion sites are not predrilled.

Objectives

To compare the effects of Forsus appliances with and without temporary anchorage devices (TADs) for patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion.

Materials and Methods

Through a predefined search strategy, electronic searching was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CENTRAL, ProQuest Dissertations & Theses, and SIGLE with no language restrictions. Eligible study selection, data extraction, and evaluation of risk of bias (Cochrane Collaboration tool) were conducted by two authors independently and in duplicate. Any disagreement was solved by discussion or judged by a third reviewer. Statistical pooling, sensitivity analysis, subgroup analysis, and assessment of small-study effects were conducted by using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis and Stata 12.0. Heterogeneity was analyzed for different types of study designs, TADs, and radiographic examinations.

Results

Electronic search yielded a total of 256 studies after removing duplicates. Among them, six studies were finally included. All articles were of high quality. The pooled mean differences were –0.27 (95% confidence interval [CI]: –0.59, 0.05) for SNA, 0.58 (95% CI: –0.07, 1.23) for SNB, –0.86 (95% CI: –1.74, –0.03) for ANB, 1.63 (95% CI: 0.46, 2.80) for Co-Po, 0.75 (95% CI: 0.28, 1.23) for SN-MP, –7.56 (95% CI: –11.37, –3.76) for L1-MP, 0.47 (95% CI: –0.98, 1.91) for overjet, 0.39 (95% CI: –0.57, 1.35) for overbite, –1.84 (95% CI: −5.15, 1.47) for SN-OP, and 4.97 (95% CI: –1.22, 11.17) for nasolabial angle.

Conclusions

TADs (especially miniplates) were able to eliminate dental adverse effects of Forsus appliances for correction of skeletal Class II malocclusion.

Design, tecnologia e matérias-primas locais: uso da microtomografia na caracterização da microestrutura do porongo (Lagenaria siceraria)
Authors: Nejeliski Danieli , Lago Tatiana , Duarte Lauren
Published: December 2020

O porongo (Lagenaria siceraria) é um fruto da família das cucurbitáceas, da qual também fazem parte a abóbora, a melancia e outros. Após a colheita e o processo de secagem, torna-se oco, com o mesocarpo poroso e o exocarpo impermeável. Disseminou-se por todos os continentes antes do homem e foi uma das primeiras plantas domesticadas. Diferentes povos utilizam-no na confecção de recipientes, instrumentos musicais, boias e máscaras. No sul do Brasil é matéria-prima para a fabricação das cuias, recipientes para o chimarrão. Planta de hábito tropical, adapta-se facilmente à qualquer clima, com alta produtividade e ciclo produtivo anual configura-se como uma alternativa de fonte renovável. É utilizado empiricamente e sua aplicação no design de novos produtos depende do estudo da sua estrutura e das suas propriedades. Nesse contexto, o objetivo do trabalho é potencializar o uso do porongo como matéria-prima no design de produtos, a partir da caracterização de sua microestrutura com o auxílio da microtomografia (µCT). As amostras utilizadas foram coletadas em Santa Maria, RS. A µCT foi desenvolvida em equipamento da Skyscan, modelo 1172, no Laboratório de Análise de Minerais e Rochas do Departamento de Geologia da UFPR. Através da análise dos dados gerados pela análise por µCT observou-se que o mesocarpo é formado pelo parênquima, com células que aumentam de tamanho progressivamente em direção ao centro do fruto, caracterizadas por grandes espaços vazios, os poros. Já o exocarpo é constituído por uma camada micrométrica de células compactas, tornando-o impermeável. Identificou-se que 54% de volume total do porongo é constituído por poros, sendo a grande maioria poros abertos, o que configura permeabilidade ao material. A partir da análise dos resultados, conclui-se que o porongo é um material com alta absorção de água, baixa densidade e baixa condutibilidade térmica. No design de produtos, pode-se direcionar sua aplicação como matéria-prima para a produção recipientes para alimentos e bebidas, produtos e revestimentos isolantes e filtros.
A influência da cor na produção de sentidos: um estudo no contexto de capas de livros
Authors: Laíse Firmino de Lima Yasmine , Patrícia de Araújo Pereira Carla
Published: December 2020

Esta investigação situa-se na área do Design de Informação e tem como objeto de estudo capas de livros, analisadas sob a perspectiva da cor. Considerando que, para quase um terço dos leitores brasileiros, o tema é o principal fator para escolha de um livro, e que uma parcela significativa deles afirma eleger o livro pela capa, destaca-se a importância que esta adquire na captação da atenção e na identificação do assunto tratado na obra. Sabe-se que as cores podem sugerir significados, derivados de associações culturais e sociais, contudo há pouco conhecimento sobre sua influência na compreensão de mensagens visuais. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo, de caráter exploratório, teve como objetivo verificar se as cores das capas de livros interferem na identificação do assunto tratado na obra pelo público leitor. A metodologia da pesquisa foi dividida em duas etapas: análise visual e experimento. A análise da mensagem visual contida nas capas baseou-se em conceitos fundamentais da teoria da Gestalt e da Semiótica Peirceana.  Para o experimento, utilizou-se um questionário on-line, distribuído a dois grupos distintos de adultos alfabetizados de ambos os sexos. Para o Grupo A, os questionários continham imagens de quatro capas em suas cores originais; enquanto o Grupo B observou imagens das mesmas capas com as cores modificadas (por meio de software), considerando a presença ou ausência de relação simbólica entre a cor predominante na capa e o assunto do livro, com base no referencial teórico da pesquisa. Pela grande dispersão observada nas respostas, foi verificado que o design das capas testadas gerou ambiguidade na identificação da temática dos livros. Contudo, as diferenças observadas nas respostas indicam ter ocorrido alguma influência de associações simbólicas das cores na interpretação do conteúdo dos livros pelos potenciais leitores, por ser a única variável entre os questionários. Foi possível concluir, no âmbito desta pesquisa, que o uso da cor com aproximação ao campo semântico do tema se mostrou relevante para a produção de sentidos relativos ao conteúdo da obra, mediante visualização da capa. Os resultados indicam que a influência das cores para a produção de sentidos pode variar de acordo com sua relação com os outros elementos visuais e todo o contexto da composição gráfica.

Published: December 2020

It cannot be denied that Islamic philosophical thought was influenced by Greek philosophy. Many Muslim philosophers took the thoughts of Aristotle and were interested in Plotin's thoughts. The development of science from the past until now has also always experienced development, as evidenced by the emergence of figures carrying arguments about different concepts of science, starting from Greek philosophers to Eastern philosophers or commonly called Muslim philosophers, for example, from Muslim philosophers there is Abu al-Hasan al-‘Amiri who constructs the paradigm that science and religion are not contradictory but are related to one another, or in other languages not contradicting each other, in which epistemology is still guided by the Qur'an and Hadith.

Published: December 2020

Concerning the pandemic COVID-19, which was designated as a national disaster, the Ministry of Education and Culture issued a policy that every unit of education should transform face-to-eye learning into distance learning. In the context of Islamic education in college, the policy forced all actors of Islamic education to change the culture or customs of learning into distance-learning or online. This qualitative descriptive research seeks to describe systematically, scientifically, and factual descriptions, challenges, and strategies of ICT optimization/ utilization on each component of the lecture as a learning solution during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The data collection methods used in this study are document content with data analysis using latent content analysis. The challenges faced in building a culture of online lectures are unqualified infrastructure, different socio-economic factors, the unpreparedness of human resources (resistance to change, attitudes and confidence, minimal digital skills), and resource accessibility. Constructing the culture of online lectures on Islamic education needs to pay attention to several aspects such as expected outcomes, required financing, responsibilities, resource requirements, and evaluation.
