NCA Plant Hire CC v Blackfíeld Group Holdings (Pty) Limited [2021] JOL 51810 (GJ) Some critical observations on the legal effect of a provisional winding-up order
Authors: Boraine A , Swart WJC
Published: July 2023

The facts and judgment in NCA Plant Hire CC v Blackfield Group Holdings (Pty) Limited [2021] JOL 51810 (GJ) raises some interesting questions in relation to the legal effect of a provisional winding-up order on the power and authority of the board of a company to conclude agreements on behalf of the company after such an order is made. A company is a separate juristic person from the date of its registration in terms of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (the 2008 Companies Act) (s 19). Unless its capacity to do so is restricted in its Memorandum of Incorporation, a company has the capacity to enter into all agreements to which a juristic person can be a party (s 19 read with s 20 of the 2008 Companies Act; see also the commentary of Delport et al on s 19 in Henochsberg on the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (May 2022 - SI 28)). The power to manage the business and affairs of a company vests in the board of directors (s 66 of the 2008 Companies Act). Because a company cannot act by itself it must be represented by its board or a duly authorised agent in agreements that bind the company. Consideration will be given in this case note specifically to the legal status of agreements concluded by a company represented by its board in the time between the granting of a provisional winding-up order and prior to the appointment of a liquidator. One of the implications of the judgment in NCA Plant Hire CC v Blackfield Group Holdings is that the board has the authority to enter into an agreement to settle the claim of one of the company's creditors after a provisional winding-up order is granted, but prior to the appointment of a provisional liquidator. In short, the court found that because the creditor who brought the application for the provisional winding-up of the company is dominus litis such creditor may enter a settlement agreement, which may include a condition that the provisional liquidation order be discharged, with the company in provisional liquidation. The approach of the court, in this case, is evaluated against the general legal principles applicable, namely the power of the board to manage the business and affairs of a company, the legal effect of a provisional winding-up order, and the concursus creditorum which begins as from the moment of liquidation but effectively backdated to the date of the filing of the application of liquidation by the Registrar of the High Court (s 348 of the 1973 Companies Act).

This study, carried out for predictive and diagnostic purposes, analyses the acquisition of teacher competencies and the integration of technology in learning, as related to personality, among students on the Master’s in Secondary Education at the University of Castilla-La Mancha (Spain). Methodology: 241 students (105 men and 136 women) from the 2019–2020 cohort took part. To evaluate the self-efficacy of teacher competencies, the scale of six competencies was used, taking into account the context of practice. To assess the impact of technology on learning, the bifactorial scale of learning and learning strategies was used, and the BFI-10 questionnaire was used to assess personality traits. A correlation analysis was carried out, 12 mediation models were calculated, and a bootstrap analysis was conducted to calculate the indirect effects of the mediations. The results show that the acquisition of all teacher competencies is significantly and positively correlated with technology learning, particularly subject knowledge, and methodological competence, where the traits of conscientiousness and openness are significant. Of the 12 mediation models, the model that showed partial mediation was competence for collaboration with tutors, predicted by technology learning, mediated by conscientiousness. The findings show an understanding of how to steer university training in the context of the current education system.

Authors: Kim Younghwan , Youn Seok Hwa
Published: July 2023

Trauma surgeons' roles in a national hospital in Korea changed during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this study, we report on their roles over a 15-month period (March 2020 to May 2021) including the eight months where the hospital was a COVID-19-only hospital. Despite shortages in medical resources including medical personnel, and intensive care unit (ICU) beds, the trauma surgeons helped to control the public health problem by assuming various roles including working in another COVID-19 ICU in Dae-gu, treating trauma patients with COVID-19 or those who needed self-quarantine, being in charge of care for some COVID-19 patients in the ICU (for two months), and performing the role of a rapid response team member for COVID-19 ICU patients. In this report, we emphasize how trauma surgeons, along with intensivists, played an active role in treatment of COVID-19 patients, and helped prevent the collapse of the healthcare system within the hospital during the pandemic.

Authors: Lim Seung-yeon , Jeong Young-min , Jeong So-young
Published: July 2023

Purpose: A retrospective descriptive study was performed to develop strategies to manage or prevent pressure ulcers in patients with severe trauma being cared for in the trauma intensive care unit (TICU).Methods: Study data was compiled from 315 patients with severe trauma (injury severity score ≥ 15) who were admitted to a general hospital from January 1, 2020, to February 28, 2021 and were being cared for in the TICU. For patients with pressure ulcers, the characteristics and associated factors of pressure ulcers were examined.Results: There were 42 severe trauma patients (13.3%) with pressure ulcers, of which, 50.0% of cases occurred at the site of the coccyx. In 50% of patients, Stage 2 pressure ulcers were observed. The mean onset day of pressure ulcers was 9.74 days after admission. The occurrence of diabetes, critical care triage score, length of stay in intensive care, death, shock, dialysis, ventilator application, endotracheal intubation, peripheral insertion central catheter insertion, A-line insertion, body protector application, sedatives, blood pressure boosters, nasal cannula, high-flow oxygenators, oxygen tip application, drainage insertion, nasogastric tube nutrition, and ventilator application period were investigated. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the influencing factors for the development of pressure ulcers were endotracheal intubation, length of stay in the TICU, and age, in that order.Conclusion: By identifying the characteristics and risk factors associated with pressure ulcers in patients with severe trauma, strategies can be developed to better prevent or manage pressure ulcers in the future.
“Learning Functional Grammar is fun”: A snapshot of functional grammar unit at an English Education Department in Indonesia
Authors: Emilia Emi , Martin J. R.
Published: July 2023

This paper reports on a teaching program for the Functional Grammar (FG) unit at an English Education Study Program of a state university in West Java Indonesia in 2020-2022.  Three cohorts of pre-service teachers in semester six were involved in the program (38 students in 2020, 26 in 2021, and 36 in 2022). The teaching program was conducted online due to the Covid 19 pandemic. The report focuses on exploring students’ understanding of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) – FG in particular, and their ability to use SFL in text analysis. The study  also addresses students’ opinions on learning SFL through FG unit. The  study used a qualitative case study design and the data were obtained from participant observations, a questionnaire distributed at the end of the teaching program, and analysis of students’ essays on text analyses. In the interest of space, the paper will only present and discuss data from the questionnaire and three samples of student essays. The questionnaire data were analysed qualitatively using a thematic analysis of different aspects of the unit and SFL, and students’ essays were analysed using SFL, especially theme, transitivity, and mood systems in lexicogrammar stratum. The data from the questionnaire indicate that all the students in all cohorts responded positively to the teaching program. Many students in each cohort said that learning FG is fun, enjoyable, interesting, and useful for both daily and academic life. They displayed a good understanding of SFL, including its basic principles, notions, and values ­ – especially concerning their reading and writing improvement. The data from students’ essays also reveal their ability to show how and why the text means what it does and to evaluate why the text is or is not effective for its own purposes. On this basis, it is recommended that SFL be introduced to Indonesian university students to enhance their literacy capacity and to Indonesian teachers to improve their teaching skills and their ways to develop assessment that is linguistically informed.

Published: July 2023

The importance of language proficiency, particularly speaking skill competence, has been acknowledged in the field of education for many years. However, despite numerous efforts to improve it, the achievement of student speaking skill competence is still far from the expected target. One of the main reasons behind this problem is the availability, accessibility, and validity of the teaching materials used. This study aimed to address the issue of unsatisfactory Indonesian students’ speaking abilities, which are partly attributed to the lack of available teaching media, particularly those that integrate cultural values. Therefore, this research used research and development study of a speaking skill e-module that is integrated with cultural values that was developed in an Android-based device. The module was designed for university students in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The results of the study indicated that the use of the speaking e-module helped improve students' speaking abilities, as well as their understanding of cultural values. Therefore, this research is also expected to reach the potential to be beneficial to a wider audience in Indonesia, beyond the scope of South Sulawesi universities.
Efecto de la ciclodextrina en la calidad de frutos de arándano (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) cv. Biloxi
Authors: Roncancio-Chaparro Richard Alexander , Álvarez-Herrera Javier Giovanni , Molano-Díaz Julián Mauricio
Published: July 2023

La producción de arándanos ha aumentado en Colombia debido a las condiciones ambientales que facilitan su producción especialmente en las zonas de altitud mayor a 2.000 m. Los frutos de arándanos son altamente perecederos y muchas empresas productoras no poseen sistemas de refrigeración, por lo que la aplicación de productos para aumentar su conservación a temperatura ambiente es necesaria. Se evaluó el comportamiento poscosecha de frutos de arándanos con diferentes dosis de ciclodextrina (CyDs) (0, 200, 400, 600, 800 o 1.000 µg L-1). Los frutos del control alcanzaron 13 días después de cosecha (ddc), mientras que la aplicación de 200, 400 y 600 µg L-1 mantuvieron la calidad de consumo durante 15 días. La dosis de 400 µg L-1 de CyDs mostró el mejor comportamiento en parámetros como la pérdida de masa (PM), firmeza, sólidos solubles totales (SST), relación de madurez (RM) e intensidad respiratoria con respecto al testigo, mientras que la aplicación de 600 µg L-1 tuvo los mayores valores de pH, antocianinas totales (AnT), luminosidad (L*), cromaticidad y tonalidad. Las AnT aumentaron hasta los 13 ddc en los frutos de arándano, y a partir de allí, disminuyeron lo cual indicó la senescencia y pérdida de valor nutricional. Durante el almacenamiento de los frutos, los valores de L* descendieron mientras que la cromaticidad de verde a rojo (a*) aumentó. La aplicación de CyDs no afectó las propiedades organolépticas de los frutos tratados en relación con el control, por lo que, las CyDs no afectan la calidad de consumo.
Traditional use and qualitative chemical composition of medicinal plants in the communities of Sardinata and Cúcuta in Norte de Santander - Colombia
Authors: Ascanio Erika Andrea , Chaves-Bedoya Giovanni , Ortiz-Rojas Luz Yineth
Published: July 2023

Traditional medicine is part of the culture of the people, it is an expression of intangible cultural heritage that combines different traditional knowledge and practices. Medicinal plants have been used as an alternative method to conventional medicine, and their use in developing countries has been inherited generationally. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of use in traditional medicine and preliminary identification of secondary metabolites present in medicinal plants used for the treatment of ailments in two municipalities from Norte de Santander-Colombia. The research method used for the development of the project is qualitative and experimental. Interviews were conducted with 40 herbalists in the markets of the municipalities of Sardinata and Cúcuta. Experimentally, the ethanolic extract of 17 medicinal plants was obtained to identify the secondary metabolites present using the technique of thin layer chromatography (TLC). The results suggests that the secondary metabolites of higher prevalence in the most used medicinal plants are flavonoids and terpenes. Information gained from traditional and medicinal plants maintains an important cultural value and represents an alternative use for the management of ailments at low cost, highlighting the importance of phytotherapy for communities. The results of the study not only confirm the relevance of medicinal plants in the region, but also highlight the importance of continuing to research and document the applications and benefits of these plants in traditional and modern medicine.

Authors: Ospina-Ruiz Andrés Mauricio , Hurtado-Salazar Alejandro , Ceballos-Aguirre Nelson
Published: July 2023

Green beans are consumed worldwide due to their healthy nutritional properties. These are an important part of the modern “Grab-and-Go” diet, along with the traditional diet. Green beans are rich in protein, vitamins, fiber, folic acid and numerous minerals. In Colombia, the production of green beans is concentrated in the eastern mountain range, where there are currently low yields due to the phytosanitary problems associated with the traditional Blue Lake variety, added to the little implementation of production strategies such as plastic mulches. Thus, four varieties of green beans with plastic mulch were technically and economically evaluated. The experimental design used was complete randomized blocks with eight treatments, resulted of factors combination of the varieties (UNAPAL Milenio, Blue Lake Pole, Blue Lake National and Blue Lake S-7) and with and without plastic mulch, with four repetitions and an experimental unit of 25 plants. Planting distances were 0.25 m between plants and 1.2 m between rows for a population density of 33,333 plants/ha. The variables evaluated were: yield components, production per plant (g) and crop yield (t ha-1). The plastic mulch (black-black) had no differential effect on the agronomic behavior of the green bean varieties in the study area. The UNAPAL Milenio variety, with 9,134 kg ha-1, reached an agronomic behavior similar to the conventional Blue Lake variety with 9,717 kg ha-1. The Blue Lake variety presented the best economic behavior with a cost-benefit ratio of 1.15 and a rate of return of 14.85%.
Intersecting Positionalities and the Unexpected Uses of Digital Crime and Safety Tracking in Brooklyn
Authors: Riddell Alice
Published: July 2023

Citizen is a live crime and safety tracking app in New York City that uses AI to monitor police scanners for incidences that are relevant to “public safety,” whilst also utilizing user‐recorded footage, as users near a crime, fire, or accident are encouraged to “go live” and film unfolding events. Users comment additional information and post expressive emojis as incidences unravel. In sharing information across a digital network, Citizen functions as both a form of social media and a peer‐to‐peer surveillance app. Through this lens, my ethnographic research investigates the impact of the digitization of crime and safety as an everyday experience in increasingly gentrified neighbourhoods in Brooklyn. The question of whether technology is a marker of simultaneous inclusivity and exclusivity speaks to the dialectical nature of digital technology, as producing concurrent “good” and “bad” effects. This article explores the ways that Citizen exemplifies these tensions: The app makes users feel safer but also more anxious; Citizen is a place for community information sharing to both productive and pejorative effects, it is used to both surveil one’s neighbourhood, instilling fear and mistrust, and to sousveil law enforcement and circumnavigate the NYPD at protests, producing accountability and a sense of safety. Through ethnographic examples, this article further navigates the cultural and local specificities of use, the complex positionalities that are mediated by the app and the consequences this has for those who experience social inclusion and exclusion.
A Technological Smartness All Over the Place: Small‐Scale Thing‐Power Experiments With Wider Inclusive Ambitions
Authors: Hannes Karin , Truyen Frederik
Published: July 2023

We live in a societal realm where robotics, artificial intelligence, and digitalization are strongly reshaping our futures. Technological progress has created multiple possibilities. However, the unequally divided impact of technological progress reminds us of the danger of an uncontrolled detonation of technological smartness in society. Some of its experienced and anticipated effects are most likely undesirable. In this thematic issue, we present a compilation of small‐scale experiments that help us think through the multiple challenges of a fast‐evolving techno‐mediated society. It sits on the cross‐road between resisting technology or insisting on it in order to create a more socially inclusive sustainable society. The technological “smartification” of our society reshapes our notion of what it means to be human in the complex assemblage with non‐human and other‐than‐human agents we are currently involved in. But it is also a catalyst for intelligent acts of human creativity that will strongly shape our collective future.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: The presence of a large number of pathological studies and a significant amount of literature on high bone density in patients with bisphosphonate osteonecrosis determined the conduct of this study.
AIM: To monitor micro- and macronutrients in patients with bisphosphonate osteonecrosis of the jaws, to detail their role in the pathological process.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 184 patients with bisphosphonate necrosis, after sequestrectomy, the micro- and macronutrient composition of bone fragments removed from the lesion was analyzed.
RESULTS: Deviations from reference values were found in such elements as sulfur (S2-), chlorine (Cl-), potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), phosphorus (P3+). The dynamics of micro- and macronutrients correlated with the clinical picture of the pathological process under study and the number of sessions or courses of adjuvant therapy.
CONCLUSION: It is assumed that violations of cascade physiological reactions that develop as a result of violations of the mineral composition in the connective tissue are due to the pharmacokinetic properties of bisphosphonate preparations. The study of a number of micro- and macronutrients is predetermined by their role in the life and functional activity of amino acids, enzymatic systems, importance in the structure of cells and tissues.
On the priority of V.S. Gruzdev in the experiment on in vitro fertilization
Authors: Chikmareva Kseniya  A. , Kozlov Lev A.
Published: July 2023

Among the many methods of teaching students, special attention is drawn to becoming a specialist through the implementation of scientific research. V.S.Gruzdev, having mastered under the guidance of Professor V.A.Manassein the first skills of scientific research, widely used them in his development as an obstetrician-gynecologist. Later he formed his own scientific school, which still exists today. One of his early works was the study of artificial insemination in mammals. This research, ahead of its time, marked the beginning of the study of in vitro fertilization. He revealed an important regularity in the development of a fertilized egg when it is planted in the oviduct. Other contemporary embryologists also spoke about this feature, mentioning that V.S.Gruzdev became the first scientist who described it. It is important that Viktorin Sergeevich proposed a plan to resolve the problem of infertile marriage, through his experiments as a result of his research, followers were able to significantly increase the number of pregnancies that occurred as a result of the treatment of obstruction of the fallopian tubes and identify problems associated with the pathology of spermatogenesis in men, and their role in an infertile marriage. Professor P.V.Manenkov, being a student and follower of V.S.Gruzdev, continued the work of his teacher and was also able to further participate in the development of a bill draft on heteronomous conception.
The cognitive stability of an elderly human is guaranteed by his lifelong motor activity
Authors: Radchenko Alexandr  S.
Published: July 2023

A persons muscular activity, or behavior when performing various types of physical exercises, is determined by the brains complex, multi-level architectonics. The organization of any type of movement in sports and physical exercises, as well as various types of professional motor activity, involves all levels of the central nervous system.

This study aims to analyze the benefits of sports for maintaining long-term brain activity.

This study conducted literary critical analysis of the functional interaction of various cortical and subcortical mechanisms of human voluntary movements with domestic and foreign literature involvement.

Regular sports cause structural changes in areas of the brain that are directly or indirectly involved in the organization of movements. Moreover, due to an increase in perfusion, a significant part of the gray matter of the primary sensorimotor fields and many associative areas of the cortex are also subject to structural changes. Muscle work and any motor activity are a positive factor that determines a persons cognitive stability in old age due to favorable changes in the brain.

This conclusion refutes the popular belief that long-term sports lead to the preservation of only the motor cortex with age, whereas the capillary networks in other areas, particularly associative fields, occlude earlier with age, and impair intelligence.
Detection of carbapenem resistant enterobacteriaceae from various clinical samples: A record based study in a tertiary care hospital in Mandya
Authors: Shree S Roopa
Published: July 2023

: Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) has gradually evolved as one of the serious global health concern due to its high mortality and limited treatment options. Overuse of the antibiotic and improper sanitation has led to its rapid spread.

To determine the proportion of Carbapenem resistant Enterobacteriaceae from various clinical samples received in the Department of Microbiology, MIMS Mandya for Culture and sensitivity by using Meropenem and Imipenem disk.

This is a retrospective study conducted over a period of 6 months from March 2021 to august 2021. The samples tested were all the clinical specimens like sputum, pus, urine, body fluids coming to our Microbiology laboratory. The specimens were processed by the standard laboratory methods. Bacteria was isolated and identified by standard biochemical reactions and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done on Mueller Hinton Agar by Kirby Bauer disk diffusion method and interpreted according to CLSI guidelines.

A total of 1624 samples were included in the study, among which 211 isolates were identified as members of Enterobacteriaceae family. 50 out of 211 isolates were confirmed as Carbapenem resistant giving a prevalence rate of 23.69%. Urine (42%) was the major contributor of CRE, followed by pus (34%). Among CRE, (54%) was the major organism isolated followed by (20%).

Our study showed high CRE prevalence rate of 23.69%, indicating the rapid emergence of CRE. Hence, a strict adherence to antibiotic policy and basic infection control measures to be applied in view of reducing the spread of CRE in the community.

: Urinary tract infections constitute a large percentage of cases encountered in outpatient departments at tertiary care hospitals. These infections have been associated with a rise in antimicrobial resistance, leading to high morbidity and mortality. This rise in drug resistance has been linked to an increase in unauthorized, unregularized use of higher generations of antibiotics, leading to the prevalence of multi drug resistant organisms in the community.

: The aim of this study is to analyze the prevalence of various uropathogens in the general population, along with their antibiotic susceptibility patterns.

: The study has been carried out for a period of six months, during which a total of 872 urine samples were collected from the outpatient department at Kamineni Academy of Medical Sciences and Research Center, Hyderabad. Urine samples were subjected to bacterial culture and significant bacterial growth was identified using the colony count method. Identification and antimicrobial susceptibility testing was done using an automated VITEK 2 compact system.

A total of 236 cases (27.1%) showed significant growth of uropathogens. The common organisms isolated were These organisms were seen more commonly in females. Multidrug resistance has been noted in multiple uropathogens, especially to fluoroquinolones and cephalosporins.

This study documented an increase in antimicrobial resistance of the uropathogens isolated at the outpatient department. Judicious use of antibiotics may aid in prevention of spread of antimicrobial drug resistance in the general population.

La reconfiguración de la acción concertada reservada a la iniciativa no lucrativa basada en la regulación de los servicios de interés general de solidaridad
Authors: Rius Coma Marti
Published: July 2023

Tradicionalmente, las entidades de la economía social han sido un agente protagonista en la prestación de servicios sociales a la ciudadanía. La configuración del Estado de bienestar como manifestación del Estado social supuso la incorporación de numerosos servicios asistenciales de titularidad pública prestados en colaboración con entidades del tercer sector de acción social a través de varios instrumentos de colaboración público-privada. No obstante, las entidades del tercer sector, por sus propias características intrínsecas, no pueden competir en condiciones de igualdad con entidades con fines lucrativos en la adjudicación de contratos para la prestación de servicios sociales. En este contexto, surgió la acción concertada como vía de gestión indirecta de naturaleza no contractual para la prestación de servicios a las personas; modelo basado en el respeto a los principios del Derecho comunitario y que, en muchas ocasiones, se reservó a entidades sin fines lucrativos. Precisamente, dicha reserva a entidades sin ánimo de lucro ha venido poniendo en riesgo el modelo de acción concertada. En concreto, su principal amenaza deriva de la impugnación ante el Tribunal Superior de Justicia de la Comunidad Valenciana, por parte de la Asociación Estatal de Entidades de Servicios de Atención a Domicilio (ASADE), de la normativa autonómica reguladora de la acción concertada, por considerar que resulta contraria a Derecho al excluir a las entidades con ánimo de lucro. Ante el riesgo de que los tribunales puedan concluir que la acción concertada reservada a entidades sin ánimo de lucro puede resultar contraria a los principios de igualdad de trato y no discriminación, como ya ha ocurrido con la reserva de contratos públicos a centros especiales de empleo de iniciativa social, será necesario que las entidades de la economía social trabajen en un nuevo planteamiento de la acción concertada que asegure el modelo actual basado en la ausencia de beneficio económico en la prestación de servicios a las personas y la priorización de la calidad asistencial. Para ello, en este trabajo se plantean las áreas sobre las que debería pivotar una reconfiguración del régimen de la acción concertada reservada a entidades sin ánimo de lucro que tuviera en consideración la diferenciación de los servicios sociales de interés económico general de aquellos servicios de interés no económico, como servicios que atienden a las necesidades de los ciudadanos más vulnerables basados en la doctrina fijada por el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea en relación con los principios de igualdad, universalidad, solidaridad, eficiencia y adecuación, como servicios no sometidos al derecho de la competencia, de forma que se produzca una distinción y un desarrollo específico para los servicios de interés general de solidaridad.

Published: July 2023

This study conducted a needs assessment and feasibility testing of Going Places, a novel park-based active transportation intervention that aims to improve physical activity and access to parks and recreation. Participants (n=19) were recruited from park sites serving predominantly racial/ethnic minority and low income communities in North Carolina, United States. Surveys were administered to participants (n=17), accelerometer-based step data was collected (n=6), and one focus group was conducted (n=6). Feasibility was assessed based on retention, engagement with community partners, and program delivery. Surveys showed more than half of youth (mean age=15.9 years; 100% non-Hispanic Black) did not use active transportation, reported low levels of physical activity, and demonstrated barriers to active transportation including safety concerns, accessibility, and social factors. Seventeen lessons were delivered at two sites. This work has potential to promote youth active transportation in a parks and recreation setting to benefit youths’ physical activity patterns for lifelong health.
The Loss of a Close Person – Intersections Between Law and Psychology. Case of Polish Law
Authors: Drapalska-Grochowicz Marlena
Published: July 2023

The Polish legislator allows for compensation for the harm suffered due to the death of close person resulting from a tort (for example, a car accident). The basis for such claims is Article 446 § 4 of the Polish Civil Code, which contains a vague expression “the closest family member.” Courts must therefore determine whether and how someone was close to someone. The language of the judicial justifications indicates that the courts do not determine proximity solely based on legal criteria. In this publication, I will analyze court decisions in which the scope of the vague expression “the closest family member” has been adjudicated. The analysis aims to establish the legal understanding of closeness in the indicated case and to determine whether and how references to psychology support it.
DOCÊNCIA E EDUCAÇÃO PLANETÁRIA
Authors: Fortunato Ivan , Medeiros Emerson Augusto de , Araújo Osmar Hélio Alves
Published: July 2023

Este artigo, escrito na forma de um ensaio, toma como ponto de partida cenas do cotidiano vivido de seus autores, professores formadores, atuantes em cursos de formação inicial de professores em distintas instituições brasileiras. Essas cenas não são descritas em detalhes, pois, sendo parte de uma complexidade planetária muito maior, não se tornam possíveis recuperar sua totalidade. Nesse sentido, o uso de pinceladas como metáfora se torna o caminho metodológico para argumentar a favor de uma Educação Planetária, que considere a terra como pátria e cada pessoa como cidadão do mundo. Aqui, três pinceladas são usadas como guia para reflexão. Essas pinceladas são revisitadas a partir do pensamento complexo de Edgar Morin e da jornada para se tornar docente de Michel Serres, buscando tomar lições desses autores que muito têm contribuído para a construção de uma cidadania planetária. Pensamos ser esse um caminho bastante saudável para decolonizar a vida humana,(re)humanizando toda a vida planetária como um lugar de partilha e encontro da diversidade.
Políticas curriculares da Educação Básica no Brasil

Published: July 2023

Este texto é fruto do Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisas em Políticas e Processos de Educação Superior da Unoesc no ano de 2022, em parceria com o Grupo Internacional de Estudos e Pesquisas de Educação Superior — GIEPES - Unicamp. Nesse sentido, nosso objetivo neste artigo foi o de discutir o neotecnicismo presente nas políticas curriculares da Educação Básica no Brasil, que culminou, mais especificamente, na criação da Base Nacional Comum Curricular - BNCC e do Novo Ensino Médio - NEM.  O problema norteador da discussão tem como foco o retorno e a articulação do tecnicismo da década de 70 do século XX às políticas curriculares de educação básica. Este neotecnicismo valoriza os interesses empresariais, cujas reformas provocam a fragmentação do conhecimento em prol do desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades atreladas aos novos parâmetros produtivos, como a Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) e o Novo Ensino Médio (NEM). Como resultado, esperamos trazer uma reflexão sobre o contexto histórico educacional brasileiro de 2016 a 2022, tendo como foco a BNCC e o NEM que segundo vários pesquisadores transformam a educação em mercadoria e/ou em business cujo objetivo é somente o lucro (mais-valia), trazido pelo mercado capitalista sob a égide do Estado Neoliberal.
Transtorno do espectro autista em questão
Authors: Gomes Cristiane , Conte Elaine
Published: July 2023

O Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA) é um fenômeno complexo e cada vez mais comum no sistema escolar, que envolve diferentes síndromes e múltiplos diagnósticos, com características neurológicas distintas e que demandam uma ampla diversidade de estímulos cognitivos, emocionais e de intencionalidade educativa para o desenvolvimento das capacidades dos sujeitos com TEA. Esses debates, entretanto, podem gerar um excesso de testes, que retratam as enfermidades de nossa triste época, a ponto de nos indagarmos sobre as dificuldades de comunicação pelo acento às deficiências em detrimento das potencialidades das pessoas, especialmente, para lidar com jogos simbólicos, de acesso à imaginação, limites de socialização ou padrões de comportamentos restritivos de fala e adaptativos. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura de bases hermenêuticas, interpretativas e compreensivas da diferença como aspecto constitutivo da diversidade humana, sendo evidenciada por meio de investigações do autismo em artigos científicos mapeados na plataforma Scielo, no período de 2010 a 2020, favorecendo as articulações da problemática do campo da educação com as contextualizações atuais. Teve como universoempírico a elaboração e a aplicação de um questionário semiestruturado com cinco perguntas para os familiares de crianças com TEA, visto que estamos distantes de práticas escolares cooperativas e de diálogo interdisciplinar que respondam, efetivamente, às diferenças biopsicossociais. Concluímos que promover a reflexão sobre TEA com experiências inclusivas no ensino é uma forma de reconciliar os sujeitos com a valorização humana das diferenças, no sentido de enfrentar os estigmas do passado ou atos de exclusão no cenário da educação vigente.

Published: July 2023

Neste artigo, apresentaremos parte de um estudo de revisão sistemática que segue com o objetivo de cartografar a tipologia de pesquisas que investigam os impactos da Reforma do Ensino Médio (Lei 13.145/17) para os Institutos Federais de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia - IFs, e focalizam as discussões na figura do Professor do Ensino Básico, Técnico e Tecnológico - EBTT dos IFs, em especial para a configuração identitária profissional desse professorado. O estudo envolveu análise documental e bibliográfica, com buscas na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações – BDTD, e no Portal da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES, no período de setembro de 2016 a fevereiro de 2023. As 10 etapas de busca geraram 16 resultados, e, após a pré-análise, foram integralizados três trabalhos. A análise dos resultados evidencia a pertinência de que sejam realizadas pesquisas futuras sobre a temática, pois, até o momento, há carência de estudos publicados. E os escassos trabalhos publicados apresentam resultados divergentes: enquanto um trabalho afirma que a Reforma do Ensino Médio não impactou os Institutos Federais, outro relata a experiência de reformulação de um curso de Ensino Médio integrado ao ensino profissional, em uma unidade de um Instituto Federal - IF; e ainda, outro estudo indica resistência para a implementação da Reforma em outra unidade dessa instituição, em consonância com o posicionamento do Conselho Nacional das Instituições da Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica - CONIF, de que a Reforma é contrária à identidade institucional dos Institutos Federais.

Esta pesquisa insere-se no âmbito dos casos de “sucesso escolar improvável” (LAHIRE, 1997), e visa a compreender como as/os jovens das camadas populares da Universidade Federal do Ceará – UFC, beneficiadas/os pelo Programa de Residência Universitária, constroem suas trajetórias escolares e vivenciam suas experiências desde a educação básica até o ensino superior. É uma pesquisa qualitativa, tendo como base os fundamentos e procedimentos da pesquisa (auto)biográfica. As narrativas das/os jovens estudantes revelam que suas trajetórias escolares são construídas permeadas por diversos desafios, o que faz com que precisem lançar mão de muito esforço e dedicação, além de elaborar diversas estratégias para conseguirem permanecer inseridas/os no sistema de ensino e chegar à universidade. Nesse percurso, a escola, a família, as/os professoras/es, além de influências extrafamiliares e extraescolares são elementos fundamentais. Chegar à UFC se traduz, por um lado, na realização de um sonho e, por outro, em desafios de permanência na instituição, uma vez que a vida universitária apresenta diversas dificuldades às/aos jovens, tanto relacionadas às questões financeiras, quanto às questões de convivência com a vida universitária e sua cultura.
conhecimento ancestral dos profetas da chuva e sua continuidade ameaçada
Authors: Câmara Yls Rabelo
Published: July 2023

Os profetas da chuva são agentes populares da cultura das chuvas e das secas no Nordeste do Brasil. Com a atual tecnologia aplicada às previsões meteorológicas, esses homens são cada vez menos numerosos. Assim, nesta pesquisa, mostramos quem são eles, qual a sua importância para os sertanejos e para a cultura nordestina e quais os desafios que enfrentam para seguirem na resistência, em busca de representatividade e continuidade. Para isso, baseamo-nos em investigadores como Briones-Gamboa (2010), Santos (2019), Taddei (2015) e Teixeira et al. (2020), por exemplo. Concluímos que a Ciência deve voltar, cada vez mais, seu olhar atento para essas manifestações da cultura popular nordestina, uma vez que que as novas gerações já não têm mais tanto interesse de seguir essa tradição ancestral, oral e empírica, e que a escola é fundamental neste processo de busca, resgate e manutenção.

Published: July 2023

This study investigates the child abuse suffered by the protagonist, Saul, in Richard Wagamese's novel "Indian Horse." The study explores the different forms of abuse Saul faced and examines how these experiences influenced his life, as portrayed in the novel. This study adopts literary criticism and employs a psychological approach and McCabe and Murphy's theory of child abuse. The data used in this study consists of words, phrases, and sentences extracted from Richard Wagamese's novel "Indian Horse," published by Douglas & McIntyre in 2012. The findings reveal that while residing in St. Jerome, Saul suffered abuse from both his teacher and caregiver. The forms of abuse encompass physical, emotional, sexual, and neglectful mistreatment. Physical abuse involved the act of rough objects being scratched against Saul's body. Emotional abuse included instances of rejection, terrorization, and isolation. Additionally, Saul endured sexual abuse from his teacher. Neglect also played a part, encompassing physical, educational, and emotional neglect. The significant impact of these childhood traumas on Saul's adult life is evident in the results. Saul's coping mechanisms led to alcoholism and aggressive behavior. He withdrew from his surroundings, experiencing profound trauma, depression, and low self-esteem due to the abuse he suffered during his formative years.

Published: July 2023

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) propone el tratamiento doméstico del agua como un medio efectivo que contribuye en gran medida al mejoramiento de la calidad del agua en las zonas rurales. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar la eficiencia de remoción de dos sistemas de tratamiento doméstico del agua que corresponden al filtro de olla cerámica y filtro de vela cerámica bajo dos condiciones de mantenimiento. Se empleó agua natural proveniente del pozo subterráneo de la Universidad de Boyacá. Los parámetros evaluados fueron la turbiedad, coliformes totales, E.coli, pH, conductividad, color y la tasa de filtración. El tiempo de evaluación fue de 46 días, cada filtro fue alimentado diariamente con un volumen de 7,5 l. Los resultados mostraron que en los días de las actividades de limpieza se generaban picos en la turbiedad; los filtros sin mantenimiento mantuvieron un efluente con menores valores de este parámetro con respecto a los sistemas con mantenimiento. Adicionalmente, se comprobó la eficiencia de estos sistemas para la remoción E.coli. La variación de la tasa de filtración influye significativamente en el grado de sostenibilidad de los sistemas, siendo el mantenimiento uno de los factores incidentes, por tal razón se recomienda que se debe realizar semanalmente, siendo este un mantenimiento preventivo para evitar la colmatación de los poros en ambos sistemas de filtración.
