In different moments of the historical context of literacy in Brazil, advocates of methodologies considered innovative, aimed to homogenize the process, aiming at overcoming the traditional. Various practices, methods, booklets, programs, and actions were widely disseminated, which today constitute research topics in the History of Education. In this sense, we aim to demonstrate the state of the art of scientific articles referring to the History of Literacy, published in the Brazilian Literacy Magazine, between 2015 and 2022. The investigation is based on research of the state of knowledge, and the source was constituted in the publications of mentioned journal, with analyzes based on historical-dialectical materialism. It was possible to verify the presence of 42 studies in the area, with greater emphasis on the approach to booklets and literacy methods, themes to which two dossiers of the Journal were dedicated.
ALFABETIZAÇÃO COMO APROPRIAÇÃO DA CULTURA ESCRITA
Authors: Almeida Ana Caroline de , Macedo Maria do Socorro Alencar Nunes , Dezotti Magda
Published: February 2024

The aim of this article is to discuss a notion of literacy as the appropriation of written culture. The discussion is grounded in anthropological references of literacy, drawing from the contributions of the field of New Literacy Studies (NLS) and the formulations of Paulo Freire regarding literacy and written culture. Empirical foundation is anchored in the productions carried out within the scope of the Research Group on Literacy, Language, and Coloniality (GPEALE). It problematizes the established dichotomy between early literacy and literacy practices in both the theoretical field and pedagogical practices, a result of decades of circulation of these concepts within established frameworks in the country. The article presents three examples of "literacy events," ethnographically analyzed, and concludes that these events, observed in classes of different teachers, constitute possibilities for breaking the dichotomy, as the proposed writing situations simultaneously involve social uses and knowledge of the alphabetic writing system.

Authors: Felisberto Costa Matheus , Mueller Rafael Rodrigo
Published: February 2024

The text analyzes the influence of the concepts of accountability, flexibility and total quality on Brazilian educational policies and, mainly, on the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC) and the reform of Secondary Education. It is a bibliographical and documentary, qualitative research, whose theoretical-conceptual perspective is Historical-dialectical Materialism. A contextualization is carried out on the rise of neoliberal policies, New Public Management and managerialism and their consequences on educational policies, highlighting the large-scale evaluation policies issued since 1990. The presence of business sectors in the construction and implementation of the BNCC and the reform of Secondary Education, returning education to private corporate interests. Therefore, these educational policies express the hegemonic project of the social form of capital which seeks, once again, to adjust education to the interests of the market, under the logic of flexible pedagogy and the accountability of social beings for the results of their historical existence.

Coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction are major global health issues, with myocardial infarction becoming more common. In the current study, the cardioprotective effects of methanol extract from the aril of the Blighia sapida fruit were assessed in relation to certain cardiac function biomarkers, endogenous antioxidant activity, and the pathology of the heart in Wistar rats that had undergone isoprenaline-induced myocardial infarction. Phytochemical screening was according to methods described by Trease and Evans. The LD50 of the extract was calculated using Lorke’s approach. The LD50 was calculated using nine (9) Wistar rats. For cardioprotective and antioxidant activities, six groups of seven Wistar rats each were formed from forty-two (42), which were divided at random. Group 1 were administered 1ml of normal saline daily, group 2 through 4 were pretreated with 250 mg/kg, 500 mg/kg, and 750 mg/kg of the extract, respectively, for 28 days. Group 5 were administered 85 mg/kg of isoprenaline on days 26 and 27, 24 hours apart to cause myocardial infarction. Group 6 served as the positive control (pretreated with 2 mg/kg carvedilol for 28 days). The plant contains bioactive substances like alkaloids, flavonoids, polyphenols, cardiac glycosides, cyanogenic glycosides, steroid glycosides, cardenolides, terpenes, and tannins. No mortality even at a dose of 5000mg/kg. Glutathione peroxidase, reduced glutathione, catalase, and superoxide dismutase all show considerable increases. Total troponin, troponin c, troponin I, creatine kinase, creatine kinase-MB, and myoglobin, significantly decreased when compared to the isoprenaline group. Additionally, there was a significant drop in the levels of some biochemical markers in the extract treated groups compared to the isoprenaline control. Total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, low-density lipoprotein, triglycerides, and ALT, AST, and ALP significantly decreased. Histological analysis revealed some degree of cardiac modification and a notable improvement. According to the data, the extract contains modest antioxidant and cardioprotective characteristics

This article examines the challenges that have arisen as a result of changes in the modern military political situation. These changes undoubtedly affected the organization of the activities of criminal justice authorities to investigate criminal offenses against the national security of the country. It is necessary to solve these problems by specialists using criminal law and forensic means, taking into account the security of the state. Taking into account the fact that the current military-political situation has also affected the lives of citizens of Armenia, we examined cases when citizens adhere to the national program, as well as cases of committing a crime directed against the security of the state, namely, the concept of “high treason” is analyzed. Let us note that in the theory of criminal law, the criminal legal protection of state security of the Republic of Armenia does not have a comprehensive, detailed development. In the framework of this study, we examine the structure and content of the forensic characteristics of the concept of “high treason”, a concept in forensic science, and study the composition of this crime and its forms. In particular, we have compiled and presented in the article a classification of types of espionage activities that form the crime of “high treason”, and also consider the types of information that are of interest to persons engaged in espionage, and the types of actions that contribute to the “leakage” of information containing state secrets. As a result, we gave our definition of the concept of “high treason” and presented the types of elements of this crime and the features that unite them, as well as what the commission of such a crime can lead to in terms of the country’s security.

The study of the concept of integrity in the scope of public service is essential from the point of view of the anti-corruption reforms implemented in the RA legal system, in order to ensure their coordination, to provide the theoretical basis of the implemented changes and to clarify the framework of the integrity system. This is even more important from the point of view that there are few studies on integrity in domestic doctrinal sources, and the concept of integrity is not revealed in its full content. In this context, legislative regulations are a novelty in the Armenian reality and there is a need to ensure clarity at the legislative level as well. Based on the above, the description given in the international documents regarding the term of integrity has been highlighted within the framework of this article. At the same time, the main elements of the content of integrity, which were revealed in the works of a number of theorists, were studied. Summarizing the above-mentioned approaches, within the framework of this article, the concept of public integrity at the legislative level is proposed with the appropriate formulation. At the same time, the study of integrity system, the scope of which is fixed by the "Public Service" law, clearly shows that it needs some revision. In particular, within the framework of the above-mentioned law, the declaration institution is presented separately from the integrity system, while it is clear from the purpose of the declaration institution that it should be included under the integrity system. In addition, it is recommended to consider the restrictions on the acceptance of gifts connected with the implementation of official duties as a separate element of the integrity systen, separating it from the rules of conduct.
Bricolage, Bullshit, and Bustle

On 15 December 2023, the Swiss Federal Council (Government) announced that it intended to start formal negotiations with the EU on the conclusion of a Framework Agreement (FA) 2.0. Five existing and two new treaties between the EU and Switzerland are to be subject to dynamic alignment and institutionalised, i.e. provided with a monitoring and judicial mechanism. The project, which is practically fixed in the decisive questions by a “Common Understanding” (“CU”) between the two parties, is based on a triple B approach: in substance, it consists of unsuccessful bricolage, the foundations were laid by bullshit, and because elections and a change of the Commission are imminent in the EU, bustle is supposedly of the essence. The CU summarizes what the Parties have informally agreed on.

A continuación, se ofrecen los resultados de la investigación realizada durante el año 2018, respecto al uso de iPads para el beneficio de la competencia lectora en alumnos de primer grado de primaria del Colegio David P. Ausubel, ubicado en el municipio de Paraíso, Tabasco, México.El objetivo de la misma consistió en desarrollar estrategias de lectura en un material mediado por tecnología en dispositivos móviles para el desarrollo de competencias de lectura evaluadas por la prueba del Programa para la Evaluación Internacional de Alumnos (PISA), en alumnos de primer año de primaria. Para ello se implementó un enfoque cualitativo mediante una triangulación de tradiciones (etnografía educativa, hermenéutica y descripción estadística). Mientras que para el desarrollo del prototipo empleado en el estudio se utilizó el modelo de desarrollo instruccional ADDIE, aplicado a una página de WordPrees en formato adaptado a dispositivos móviles. Los resultados muestran que las estrategias de aprendizaje que pueden implementarse para desarrollar desde niveles tempranos las habilidades evaluadas por PISA son diversas, no obstante han de estar basadas en los procesos de pensamiento que esta prueba considera
Impacto de la Primera Modernidad en los barrios Larrea, América y La Mariscal de Quito
Authors: Gómez Díaz Jorge Alberto
Published: February 2024

El trabajo incursiona en elementos de la expansión urbanística de Quito, al norte de La Alameda, a principios del siglo XX. Es un breve recorrido inicial por los sectores de San Juan Norte, La América y más específicamente por el barrio Larrea, el cual permite el conocimiento de aspectos claves de la Modernidad, tales como: el trazado diferente al núcleo tradicional del Centro Histórico reconocido en la actualidad, la implementación de acueducto y alcantarillado, la electricidad, la telefonía, el asfaltado de las calles; así como el diseño moderno de la Ciudad Jardín en el primer espacio de expansión realmente moderno como alternativa a la ciudad de siempre y tradicional: el Barrio Larrea, urbanización que nace en 1907. La presencia de esta primera modernidad en la ciudad de Quito, a principios del siglo XX, pone de manifiesto, además, aquello que algunos teóricos llaman el efecto de copia y resemantización de estilos como un alter ego a los grandes centros occidentales de emisiones de poderes culturales. Sobre la base de la revisión bibliográfica y el trabajo de campo in situ, se llegan a establecer estas narrativas en torno a un discurso de centros y periferias siempre cambiante, sobre todo en las condiciones de nuestras metrópolis latinoamericanas

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar el sedentarismo y su influencia en la calidad de vida de los adultos mayores a partir de una revisión documental sistemática. Para la elaboración de esta indagación se realizó una búsqueda de información en bases de datos utilizando palabras claves relacionadas con el objeto de estudio que permitió identificar 150 documentos de carácter científico. Con esto, se evidenció el incremento de la población conocida como adulto mayor, al mismo tiempo que se observó un considerable aumento de su nivel de sedentarismo, originado principalmente por el desconocimiento y práctica de la actividad física constante. Entre las evidencias encontradas se pudo constatar que la práctica continua de actividad física previenen; el deterioro cognitivo, las enfermedades cardiovasculares y enfermedades no transmisibles; disminuyendo al mismo tiempo el desarrollo del Alzheimer, evita el avance de la depresión y la ansiedad; adicionalmente, mantiene el equilibrio emocional y corporal: eleva la autoestima, evita la soledad, genera sensación de bienestar integral y contribuye a una mejor calidad de vida. El ejercicio asociado a una alimentación rica en frutas y verduras antioxidantes es un elemento clave para un envejecimiento saludable. La promoción de la salud a todo nivel potencia estilos de vidas activos, saludables y perdurables para la edad adulta
