Authors:   Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Vladimirova A.
Published: January 2021

For decades network analysis methods have been successfully used by scholars to investigate international trade evolution and to substantially enrich existing body of knowledge on dynamics of export and import flows. However, there is a range of problems with international trade data too often not mentioned even in scientific publications. Thus, this paper aims to address a discussion among historians on the pitfalls of data preprocessing and its quality assessment before building network models.

Authors:   Altai State University, Barnaul, Vladimirov V. , Sarafanov D. , Krupochkin E.
Published: January 2021

As a key task, the authors consider the issue of creating historical GIS that allow analyzing the distribution of data on the population by church parishes. As well as a model for constructing the boundaries of parishes is proposed. Based on statistical data concentrated in GIS, a series of maps has been developed that reflect the population size within the boundaries of parishes for several time periods. The types of parishes existing in the Barnaul spiritual government (urban, at factories, rural, at military fortifications, at mines) are highlighted, the dynamics of the population size is analyzed both within the framework of individual parishes and within the boundaries of the selected types.

Foreign Languages’ Influence on Albanian Police Lexicon
Authors: Haziri Shemsi
Published: January 2021

In this study we attempted to thoroughly explain influences of foreign languages on police lexicon in Albanian language, with special focus on the influence of Serbian and English language in Kosovo, as well as the influence of Italian and English language in Albania. Influence of Serbian language only on police lexicon in Kosovo has been created due to historic circumstances of development of police activities under specific conditions. The impact of Serbian language on police lexicon in Albanian language in Kosovo was prevailing for a long period, during which Kosovo was under Serbian rule. This linguistic influence at its highest level in time period between 1970-1990, when Albanian language was used in police activities in Kosovo. In that time period most of the police officers were of the Albanian ethnicity and Kosovo had the status of autonomous province (1974-1990). English influence on police lexicon in Kosovo started in 1999 after liberation of Kosovo. From 1999 to 2008, English was used as the official language together with local languages Albanian and Serbian. This influence has not been limited only to police activities but it has spread widely into all fields of activities in Albanian language in Kosovo. Influence of English language in police lexicon is also evident in Albania, with words like: brifing (alb) – briefing (en), lidership (alb) – leadership (en), staf (alb.)– staff (en), task force (alb) – task force (en), etc. On the other hand Italian language is an influential language in police lexicon only in Albania due to historical, economic and cultural development. As a result, this is manifested by some basic words denoting police activities in Albania derived from Italian, like: komisiariati (alb) – commissariato (it), kavaleri (alb) – cavaleria (it), Policia e Shtetit (alb) - Polizia di Stato (it).
An Inherent Bond: External Visual Aid Has a Minor Effect on the Rate of Co-Speech Gestures
Authors: Jarbou Samer Omar
Published: January 2021

Abstract. Traditionally, the purpose of representational co-speech gestures is to repeat or represent the semantic content of accompanying speech and so to facilitate speech comprehension. To test this belief, each of 22 participants was asked to deliver an informative speech once with the support of visual aid in the form of data-show (DS) projector slides and then to deliver the same speech without using any visual aid (NDS) in a different session; the purpose was to see if using visual aid had any significant effect on gesture rate during speech production. The theoretical framework of the study is based on findings in the Information Packaging Hypothesis, the Gesture as Simulated Action framework and relevant findings in cognitive psychology and neuroscience. The results showed that all participants used gestures during both sessions; the average number of co-speech gestures was 7.2 during the NDS and 6 during the DS sessions. This shows that using visual aid that supports the semantic content of speech did not lead to a significant reduction in the number of co-speech gestures in the DS sessions; it also indicates that the role of co-speech gestures is not merely to repeat the semantic content of accompanying speech. These results confirm previous findings in cognitive psychology that speech and accompanying gesture are cognitively and instinctively connected as one unit and that co-speech gestures possibly have an essential role in facilitating speech conceptualization and production. Speech and co-speech gestures are neurologically interconnected and they are impulsively produced whenever a speaker intends to communicate a message. These findings also add further evidence to relevant research which emphasizes that co-speech gestures are not produced merely as visual aid that aims to supplement speech.
A Psychosemantic Study of Compensation Psychological Defense Mechanism in the Novice Military Leaders
Authors: Khraban Tetyana , Khraban Ihor
Published: January 2021

The aim of the article is to study the formative impact of the defense mechanism “compensation” on the leader’s personality. The research is based on the axiological semantic research method created due to the development and application of experimental psychosemantics to the issue of leadership. An experiment was conducted with the view of confirming the fact of impact of the defense mechanism “compensation” on the leader’s personality formation. This experiment involved 30 students undergoing leadership training for tactical officers at the Heroiv Krut Military Institute of Telecommunications and Information Technologies.  A test-questionnaire was created to experimentally substantiate the reliability of the proposed conjecture. At the outset of the experiment, the participants were asked to note in the test-questionnaire the basic postulates they rely on when forming relationships in the military community. For the purpose of creating a relaxed atmosphere the postulates (60 units) were presented in the form of posts (quotes and aphorisms) which are most often posted on social media pages. Based on the methods of psychological subjective semantics and psychosemantics, we established the predominance of a certain form of defence mechanism “compensation”. Then followed the assessment of the leadership role preferences displayed by the participating pilot students, this providing the basis for drawing conclusions as regards the tendency for a particular form of leadership. Matching of the obtained results revealed correlations between mental reflections of various phenomena. Although correlational study has a lower degree of confidence in predicting cause and effect, it can provide strong indications that relationships exist. Results and discussions. The defense mechanism “direct compensation” correlates with the kind of “fighter” leader, “overcompensation” correlates with the kind “father”, “decompensation” correlates with the kind “tyrant”. To conclude, trend to use a certain type of defense mechanism affects the acceptance and assimilation of a certain role type of leader. In addition, the use of information which are most often posted by social media users on their personal accounts as a content for the test-questionnaire allows us to conclude about the possibility of using social media account to determine the psychological type of personality by analyzing posts, likes and comments.
Strategies for Determining German Nouns' Gender by College Students
Authors: Kiyko Svitlana , Kiyko Yuriy , Drebet Viktor
Published: January 2021

The article is dedicated to the study of strategies for determining the gender of nouns of the German language by Ukrainian-speaking first-year-students at the Yuriy Fedkovych National University of Chernivtsi, Ukraine. The purpose of the study is to establish the strategies for determining the gender of nouns on the basis of phonetic, morphological, and semantic criteria and experimentally trace the impact of interlingual and intralingual interference in the process of gender categorization of nouns. The material of the study included 60 nouns, out of which 30 were phonetic equivalents and 30 – semantic ones. Each group contained 10 nouns of the masculine, feminine and neuter gender respectively, with the same number of structurally different nouns among them, which were selected according to semantic, morphological, and phonetic rules of gender identification. To identify strategies for determining the gender of German nouns, two psycholinguistic experiments were held with a month interval. The experiments involved 30 first-year-students at the University of Chernivtsi (German department), who had to decide whether the noun gender specified in DMDX program is correct. Thus, the article in half of the given nouns was set incorrectly in the program. The obtained results indicate that the gender of the noun of the native language significantly affects gender determining of the German phonetic equivalent (85% of all mistakes in determining the gender in Experiment 1 and 47% – in Experiment 2). The students also focus on the suffixes or endings of German nouns when choosing the correct gender. Phonetic or semantic rules for determining gender play a secondary role. The gender of a noun in the native language prevents the correct choice of the gender in the German language, which is twice as often recorded for phonetic equivalents.
A Methodological Framework for the Interdisciplinary Literary Text Analysis
Authors: Labinska Bohdana , Osovska Iryna , Matiychuk Oxana , Vyspinska Nataliia
Published: January 2021

All scientific endeavours require researchers to develop an understanding of the available methodological tools to perform the needed studies. These tools can be applied depending on the field, purpose and context of the study. This article outlines and argues for ways to construct methodological framework appropriate for an in-depth interdisciplinary analysis of a literary text. The purpose of this study is to build the interdisciplinary methodological framework for literary text analysis using approaches of two humanities sciences – pedagogy and philology (linguistics and literature). The material for the research is a contemporary fairy tale Bunny Non-Hopper and His Brave Mommy by Oksana Drachkovska, Ukrainian writer and journalist. Relevance, innovation, importance and complexity of the author’s fairy tale theme, which appears both in the field of modern pedagogy and current philological interpretations justified our choice. Among the methods applied in the paper are literary studies interpretation that outlines a place of the fairy tale in the context of similar Ukrainian and foreign literature and reveals features of the its gender constructions; linguistic analysis based on communicative-pragmatic and conceptual approaches that focus on the text-discursive level along with pedagogical approaches that enable the representation of the text’s educational potential. The suggested framework consists of two levels – general scientific and specific scientific. On the general scientific level, it deploys systematic, synergetic, and paradigmatic approaches, whereas on the specific scientific level – linguistic approaches (communicative pragmatic and conceptual), literary studies approaches (intertextual and gender), and pedagogical approaches (integrated, inclusive, humanistic, empowerment), thus employing knowledge and specifics of each science. Besides a system-building function aimed to obtain comprehensive information about the object of the study, the proposed methodological framework for the interdisciplinary literary text analysis embraces an anthropocentric paradigm centred on children with special educational needs.
Font and Colour Attributes as Manipulated in Mass Media Texts: Psycholinguistic Implications
Authors: Makaruk Larysa
Published: January 2021

This paper is aimed to analyse font and colour as non-verbal and paralingual components which have the capacity to influence and manipulate recipients of a message. On the basis of an extensive body of illustrative material, it has been established that by the use of colour variation, a single text fragment may be interpreted in several different ways, and may also be perceived differently by men and by women. It is demonstrated that colour and font characteristics are not exclusively graphic shells whose function is merely to record an oral statement in writing. They are semantically significant and multifunctional. It has been determined that font and colour are form-creating elements, which make possible the graphic reproduction of objects in everyday use, objects relating to reality and actuality. Variation in font and colour enable us to hypothesize that the mass media communication space is now characterized by a type of linguistic play utilizing these traits so as to render possible the projection of multiple-reading promotional texts. They also permit an economy in terms of space because of the fact that font techniques can perform formative and content functions simultaneously. Based on an experiment involving 60 participants, 30 of whom were male and 30 female, it was found that the information encoded in colour and font graphics shells is not difficult to perceive and to decipher. However, the survey found that women are more likely to perceive that information, although the difference in perception is not striking. When  asked whether a sample of illustrative material stirred an appetite by using stylized fonts consisting of foods to convey a food-related message, 74 % of men and 37% of women in both articles answered in the positive, which in our study confirms the claim that food advertising promotes appetite arousal. The study also showed that most women who read the information perceive it holistically–their attention is not attracted solely by verbal and nonverbal components. On the other hand, only half of the men surveyed saw it as a whole, and almost a third of them initially noticed the verbal components first. Most participants in the experiment claimed that it took them from 5 to 10 seconds to realize that a single message could be read in several different ways. The participants who took part confirm that a single text string can be interpreted in multiple ways due to the font and colour attributes that are utilized in forming them.
Adaptation, Association, and Analogy: Triple A of the Translator’s Decision-Making
Authors: Rebrii Oleksandr , Demetska Vladyslava
Published: January 2021

The article is dedicated to the analysis of concurrent verbalizations (also known as Think-Aloud Protocols, or TAPs) of semi-professional subjects of the introspective experiment based on the initial excerpt of Steven Brust’s fantasy novel The Desecrator. The research was conducted on the basis of activity-oriented approach within which translation is treated as an integrated cognitive process that unites perceptive, interpretative and productive operations. The participants of the experiment were students for Master’s Degree in Translation at the School of Foreign Languages of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. The choice was determined by the fact that the subjects of this type have a high level of a foreign language competence as well as sufficient theoretical background in translation, while, at the same time, they lack practical experience which requires from them considerable psycho-cognitive and creative effort for decision-making in ambiguous situations. The aim of the research is to determine the role of adaptation, association and analogy in resolving problem situations in translation. Adaptation, association and analogy were highlighted as both psychological mechanisms and cognitive procedures of the translator’s decision-making. The psychological function of adaptation lies in bringing the translator to the state of adaptivity by applying available knowledge to new situations; its cognitive function lies in adjusting new or alien to the target audience concepts in accordance with the translator’s individual worldview. Psycho-cognitive function of association is twofold: firstly, the translator is expected to decipher and reproduce associations underlying the author’s decisions; secondly, the translator’s own decisions are often of associative nature. Analogical reasonings substantiate the translator’s choices through similarity-based heuristics, like those of representativeness and compatibility. The research allowed to expose some varieties of psycho-cognitive mistakes and to express the assumption that the translator’s erroneous decisions are ensued by the malfunctioning of the above mechanisms, i.e. by incorrect adaptations, associations, analogies.
SOCIAL SUPPORT AND JOB SATISFACTION AMONG THE SCHOOL TEACHERS IN TIRUCHIRAPPALLI EDUCATIONAL REVENUE DISTRICT, TAMIL NADU, INDIA

Published: January 2021

Teachers’ role in society in general and in education has been changing with time but the importance of this position is same. The teacher is the pre-requisite of the success of educational programmes. The main quality of teacher is the positive attitude towards education.One of the effective factors on job satisfaction is perceived social support by individuals. One of the psychological concepts that have been introduced by scientists of educational science is social support. It was among the basic needs of human beings throughout the history.Data were collected from70 males and 312 female teachersworking in both rural and urban schools in Tiruchirappalli revenue district using systematic random sampling techniques. The results reveal that there is no relationship between social economic variables (gender, age, and education) and social support; however marital status and income are positively associated with social support. The results further expose that social economic variables (age and education)are negatively linked with job satisfaction. Hence,better social support and higher job satisfaction of teachers.
A REVIEW PAPER ON STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION OF CANTILEVER BEAM BY USING VIBRATION TECHNIQUE, FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS & ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK
Authors: MohanraoGarud Aakanksha , Bhamre V. G.
Published: January 2021

In this review paper structural damage identification work in cantilever beam is done by using the Artificial Neural Network as diagnostic parameter. The study is based on the concept that natural frequency is inversely proportional to the mass of the structure. Thus to regulate the proper condition of structure, periodical frequency measurement is necessary. But in dynamic conditions and in complicated structures frequency measurement is difficult, for the same we reviewed various papers to identify the structural damage using various methods. The factors which affects on the damage of structural parts like crack depth, crack location etc. is also discussed in this work. Natural frequency is measured with the help of fast fourier transform by various authors and artificial neural network is also used for identification of the damage in many papers. So in this review work we studied methods of structural damage identification such as vibrations, finite element analysis and artificial neural network.

Aim: to analyze the quality of sleep with the total Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index PSQI, among the first and last year students of the medical school. Methods: epidemiologic, observational, and cross-sectional with two cohorts of individuals, performed at the Faculty of Medical Sciences at Central University of Ecuador, in Quito, Ecuador, during 2017. Sample size was of 401 individuals. 239 first year students and 162 last year students (internship), with non-probabilistic sampling. The PSQI was applied in its Spanish version consisting of 19 items. Results: 81.17% of respondents of first-year are bad sleepers while in the group of last year students are 90.12%. The sleep duration factor has an average of 2.11 with a standard deviation of 0.80; the asymmetry is negative (-0.58), which indicates that the values are grouped to the right of the arithmetic mean, revealing that respondents sleep less than six hours a day. Conclusion: It found that 90.12% of senior students (internship) and 81.17% of first year students are bad sleepers, 83.26% of first year students and 79.63% of senior year (internship) presented sleep duration of less than six hours, accompanied by night awakenings and daytime sleepiness. 45.61% of the first-year students and 61.73% of the internship perceived poor warm sleep. A moderate correlation value of r=0.549 was obtained between the total PSQI and the daytime sleep dysfunction in the internship students, while the first year students sleep duration reached a correlation of r=0.598.

Authors: Pilataxi Sanipatín Evelyn , Gordillo Pamela , Mesías Carolina , Pastor Sebastián
Published: January 2021

Contexto: en la actualidad, la creciente incidencia de patología tiroidea amerita una mayor resolución quirúrgica que demanda manejo del dolor posquirúrgico, lo que amerita buscar métodos o terapias complementarias para atenuar el dolor. Objetivo: comparar el nivel de dolor posquirúrgico en pacientes sometidos a tiroidectomía total o disección cervical por patología tiroidea benigna o maligna mediante el uso de crioterapia comparado con métodos tradicionales, en los servicios de Cirugía General y Cirugía Oncológica del Hospital Eugenio Espejo de Quito. Sujetos y métodos: estudio epidemiológico, observacional, transversal, en 204 pacientes sometidos a tiroidectomía total o disección cervical, divididos en un grupo manejado con terapia analgésica estándar (paracetamol y tramadol) y un grupo control que recibió similar terapia farmacológica más crioterapia; en ambos grupos se valoró la escala de dolor (EVA) por 24 horas. Las variables cuantitativas se reportaron como promedios (desviación estándar) y las cualitativas con sus valores absolutos y relativos (porcentajes). La comparación de las variables cuantitativas se realizó previa prueba de normalidad, mientras que las variables cuantitativas que cumplieron criterios de normalidad se usó la t de Student para grupos independientes o sus equivalentes no paramétricos. Resultados: ambas terapias (cold pack y terapia estándar) disminuyen significativamente la percepción de dolor desde su primera evaluación (6 horas) hasta la valoración final (24 horas) (p <0,0001). La analgesia complementada con crioterapia (cold pack) supera al tratamiento estándar con analgésicos (p <0,0001). Para el grupo tratado con cold pack, el descenso de dolor fue 2 puntos de EVA (RIQ: 1,3 puntos; p < 0,001). Conclusión: el uso de la terapia combinada (analgesia estándar más crioterapia) redujo el dolor en dos puntos según la escala de dolor EVA, mostrando que la terapia combinada es superior en el manejo del dolor de acuerdo al grupo control.

Published: January 2021

Contexto: la traqueotomía es un delicado procedimiento que se realiza a la cabecera del paciente crítico y potencialmente presenta complicaciones potenciales. Actualmente, tiene una amplia utilidad para el manejo ventilatorio a pacientes en unidades de cuidados intensivos, especialmente cuando se requiere de períodos prolongados de ventilación mecánica. El objetivo del trabajo es comparar los resultados de la traqueotomía quirúrgica y percutánea, durante el manejo ventilatorio en la UCI. Materiales y métodos: estudio de cohorte prospectivo en 96 pacientes sometidos a ventilación mecánica en una unidad de cuidados intensivos polivalente, para lo cual se estructuraron 2 grupos, el primero manejado con traqueotomía percutánea por dilatación y el otro con traqueotomía quirúrgica abierta, realizadas exclusivamente por el equipo de médicos intensivistas de la unidad, a la cabecera del paciente, en un período de 15 meses. Resultados: no se observó diferencias estadísticas significativas entre los dos abordajes, en relación a complicaciones de la técnica, días de ventilación mecánica postraqueotomía y días de estancia en UCI, excepto para el tiempo empleado en su ejecución, con un promedio de 7,9 minutos para la técnica percutánea y 22 minutos para la técnica quirúrgica (p 0,003, IC95% 1,33-15,8). Conclusión: las dos técnicas tienen similar incidencia de complicaciones; respecto al tiempo utilizado es menor para la técnica percutánea. La implementación de una traqueotomía temprana tiene escasa frecuencia en la UCI de este hospital que mantiene vigente al procedimiento quirúrgico por aspectos técnicos y económicos.

Published: January 2021

The environment contaminated by antibiotics and heavy metals as a consequence of human activities is of great concern nowadays.Many pieces of research proved that the environment could act as a reservoir of antibiotic resistance determinants allowing themto spread among different bacterial species via the process called horizontal gene transfer. The result is antibiotic resistance even inpathogen microorganisms. Heavy metals act as important factors in this process because of their potential to select antibiotic resistantbacteria thanks to linkage among antibiotic resistance genes and heavy metals resistance genes.Thus, this experiment was conducted to screen the antibiotic tolerance profile of bacteria obtained from heavy metal contaminatedenvironment of mine, dump and the contaminated soil near the entry of mine.Several samples were collected from the only active gold mine in Slovakia in Hodruša – Hámre. The presence of cultivable bacteria wasproved via cultivation approaches with subsequent MALDI – TOF MS (Matrix – Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation Time of FlightMass Spectrometry) identification of selected isolates. Representative bacterial isolates were screened for their antibiotic toleranceagainst chosen antibiotics (ampicillin (AMP), chloramphenicol (CHLOR), tetracycline (TET) and kanamycine (KAN)) with the aimto define their minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC).The cultivable bacteria from studied environments were dominated by Gram-negative protebacteria of Pseudomonas and Rhizobiumgenera. Among more than 150 isolates the resistance to ampicillin (MIC>100µg/ml – 49% isolates), kanamycine (MIC>100µg/ml -18% isolates), and chloramphenicol (MIC>20µg/ml – 16% isolates) dominated. The resistance to tetracycline (MIC>20µg/ml) wasdetected in less than 1% of isolates. Overall counts of antibiotic resistance and multi-resistance were alarmingly high taking in accountthat industrial environments with no known antibiotic exposure were analysed.Our data indicate that heavy metals contaminated environment could influence the occurrence and the spread of antibiotic resistance.Possibly, metal contaminated environment act as a reservoir of antibiotic resistant bacteria.
Quantifying Mineral Liberation – A Conventional and New Automatic Sophisticated Techniques Approach
Authors: TOMANEC Rudolf , BLAGOJEV Marina
Published: January 2021

The characterization of textural properties of minerals is closely related to the process of their respective liberation. Measurements ofmineral liberation, related to grinded ore, can be performed using optical ore microscope, by conventional, classical methods – pointcounting, linear intercepts method or planimetric measurements method (2D). Modern automatic devices and sophisticated measurement techniques (QEMSCAN/MLA) imply recording free surfaces area of mineral grains on polished sections samples in orderto determine mineral degree of liberation. Value of mineral liberation obtained over free surfaces area can be of interest to flotationconcentration, although not for gravity separation or, for example, magnetic separation. The prediction accuracy for behavior of onefeed ore during the concentration process depends on the method of measuring/recording mineral liberation. Considering raw materials with complex textural characteristics it is crucial which method will be applied for determination of mineral liberation respectingwhether for concentration process is crucial physical or chemical method.

CIDADE E DIREITOS SOCIAIS: CONFRONTO ENTRE O DIREITO FUNDAMENTAL À SAÚDE E OUTROS DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS NO CURSO DA PANDEMIA POR COVID-19
Authors: Correia Arícia Fernandes , Matinho Tatiana Mota Pinheiro , Takaoka Gláucia Sayuri
Published: January 2021

O artigo contextualiza a relevância dos Direitos Sociais e da Cidade, na medida em que significativa parte das atribuições municipais se concentra na garantia de prestações de direitos fundamentais de segunda dimensão, em parte enquadráveis, como educação fundamental, saúde básica, moradia adequada e assistência, no conceito de mínimo existencial urbano, porquanto garantido pela Urbe. Diante deste contexto, questiona-se, à luz da jurisprudência de exceção ocorrida neste período de pandemia por Covid-19, (i) até que ponto o direito fundamental à saúde prevaleceu sobre outros direitos fundamentais, individuais e sociais, com vistas ao resguardo da vida humana e (ii) de que maneira, para isso, a Cidade, o Município, precisou ter reconhecida e reforçada sua autonomia normativa e administrativa, a partir, principalmente, da interpretação do Supremo Tribunal Federal em relação à Lei do Coronavírus. Por fim, questiona-se o quanto, a despeito da implementação, pela Cidade, de uma política pública isonômica de combate à contaminação pela Covid-19, a desigualdade urbana acaba sendo mais letal do que o próprio novo vírus SARS-Cov-2.

Decolonialidade na formação em línguas adicionais: dos desafios na ‘encruzilhada’ ao caminho outro de um ‘mosaico’ para uma Linguística Aplicada rizomática
Authors: Mattos Brahim Adriana Cristina Sambugaro de , Hibarino Denise Akemi , Cerdeira Phelipe De Lima
Published: January 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo discutir a formação docente e também as práticas docentes em línguas adicionais à luz dos estudos decoloniais (MIGNOLO, 2003; WALSH, 2003; SOUSA SANTOS, 2018) no contexto brasileiro. Essa perspectiva faz-se relevante uma vez que coloca em xeque visões homogêneas de sujeito, de língua e de sociedade, provocando, dessa forma, uma revisão e ressignificação de conceitos inerentes às práticas docentes e de pesquisa. Ao entender como determinado campo de poder (BOURDIEU, 2002) acaba definindo padrões e ecoando narrativas hipertrofiadas, passa a ser possível vislumbrar caminhos distintos, paradigmas outros (MIGNOLO, 2003) capazes de pensar as práticas de ensino e aprendizagem. Nossa reflexão ainda aponta como ponto de partida as metáforas da encruzilhada (CELANI, 1998) e do mosaico (CÉSAR & CAVALCANTI, 2007; KLEIMAN & CAVALCANTI, 2007), presentes nas discussões da Linguística Aplicada inter-trans-indisciplinar, crítica e transgressiva (PENNYCOOK, 2001, 2006), a fim de estabelecer um diálogo crítico/produtivo/questionador. Por último, serão evidenciadas as perspectivas dos autores como vozes de “coletividade” (SOUSA SANTOS, 2018), e será preconizada a perspectiva de uma Linguística Aplicada rizomática.

Authors: Monteiro Mariana Nunes
Published: January 2021

Vivemos em tempos de muitas mudanças e hibridizações de vários tipos: culturais, sociais, linguístico-discursivas, etc., no qual o global e o local estão imbricados inextricavelmente. Nesse contexto, é preciso que repensemos alguns conceitos modernistas com os quais ainda operamos, como é o caso de epistemes e teorizações sobre língua(gem) e, consequentemente, sobre “falante nativo”. Para tanto, Kumaravadivelu (2012) sugere que se promova uma quebra epistêmica da dependência dos sistemas de conhecimento dos países do Círculo Interno de Kachru. Em outras palavras, é necessário desconstruir a ideia do falante nativo como o padrão a ser atingido pelos estudantes de línguas, repensando métodos, abordagens e materiais didáticos que se ligam a essa episteme. Pensando nessas questões, o presente estudo visa a refletir sobre a elaboração e análise de atividades didáticas elaboradas para educandos do 8º ano. Essas atividades foram pensadas e analisadas a partir, principalmente, dos macrocritérios para a análise de livros didáticos cunhados por Tilio (2016). Os procedimentos de elaboração e análise apontam para a possibilidade de se elaborar materiais de inglês que valorizem as performances linguísticas dos educandos e os conscientize do seu papel ativo e transformador dessa língua.
Letramento multimodal e ensino de línguas: a Linguística Aplicada e suas epistemologias na cultura das mídias
Authors: Vian Jr. Orlando , Rojo Roxane
Published: January 2021

Este texto se propõe a discutir as noções de modo e de letramento multimodal e sua relevância para o campo de ensino de línguas estrangeiras inserido na cultura das mídias, dado ao fato de que aprendizes, no ensino fundamental, médio, superior e em cursos de idiomas, têm acesso constante a tecnologias digitais móveis para o seus processos de aprendizagem e, por essa razão, estão em contínuo contato com multimodalidades propiciadas pelas novas tecnologias. Interessa-nos, sobremaneira, a discussão sobre os aspectos epistemológicos no campo da Linguística Aplicada e ensino de línguas estrangeiras e o papel que a multimodalidade e o letramento multimodal exercem nessas práticas, essenciais ao ensino e à aprendizagem das tais línguas e à formação de professores de que irão ministrá-las.
A filosofia da linguagem do Círculo de Bakhtin e a LA indisciplinar: diálogos possíveis
Authors: Szundy Paula Tatianne Carrera , Martins Patrícia De Souza , Moreirão Diego Domingues Peçanha
Published: January 2021

Concepções da filosofia de linguagem do Círculo de Bakhtin têm sido ressignificadas por linguistas aplicados/as para criar inteligibilidade sobre os usos situados de recursos semióticos em esferas sociais diversas. Levando-se em conta os processos de (des/re)contextualização de construtos da análise dialógica do discurso bakhtiniana na Linguística Aplicada, o presente artigo parte de uma perspectiva indisciplinar/transgressiva de Linguística Aplicada (MOITA LOPES, 2006; PENNYCOOK, 2006; AUTORA; FABRÍCIO, 2019) para refletir sobre diálogos possíveis entre essa vertente e construtos do Círculo como enunciado, atitude responsiva, ato responsável, dialogismo e ideologia. A reflexão esboçada foca na potência desses diálogos no desafio de discursos hegemônicos que (des)legitimam determinadas práticas sociais em detrimento de outras. Para ilustrar essa potencialidade, convocamos concepções do Círculo para problematizar, em uma perspectiva indisciplinar de LA, enunciados sobre educação de jovens e adultos e ideologias linguísticas enunciadas por leitores/as e/ou produtores/as de literatura de fãs (fanfiction).

La Formación del pensamiento matemático en niños y niñas durante los primeros años de la escuela: opiniones de maestros que les enseñan en Panamá
Authors: Montesano Marisa , Quiroga Elsa
Published: January 2021

El presente artículo presenta una mirada hacia el desarrollo del pensamiento matemático en niñas y niños, dado que el interés en los números constituye la base para la elección de futuras carreras científicas, donde el lenguaje mediador que expresa e interpreta los conceptos, procesos y procedimientos científicos es el lenguaje matemático. El estudio realizado desde las opiniones y perspectivas de maestros de primaria, identifica algunas de las habilidades que se desarrollan mejor en niñas respecto a los niños, o viceversa. Este estudio desde la opinión de una pequeña muestra de maestros, aunque es cualitativo, podría presentar algunos elementos que desmitifiquen la idea de que las matemáticas se desarrollan mejor en varones que en mujeres.El estudio es significativo, puesto que no hay investigaciones parecidas ni en Bolivia ni en Panamá que vinculen el desarrollo del pensamiento matemático en los primeros años de la escuela elemental y básica. Este es un estudio de opinión piloto, que presenta algunos datos para una investigación más elaborada y de mayor profundidad. Lo que se pretende es abrir el debate con algunos elementos de discusión que, a nivel de la pedagogía y la didáctica de las ciencias, puedan servir para acercar más a las niñas hacia otros lenguajes del ser humano, como: el simbólico de los números y el gráfico de la geométrica, potenciando de esta manera, las inclinaciones científicas de las niñas.
