Percepção das sensações de bailarinos em aulas de ballet clássico on-line no Brasil durante a pandemia de Covid-19
Authors: Dornelles de Almeida Doris , Maria Lemes Farias Hillary
Published: March 2024

A educação durante a pandemia de Covid-19 afetou vários bailarinos e professores em todo o mundo quando foi abruptamente transferida do ensino presencial para o ensino remoto por meio de diversas plataformas de comunicação on-line impactando nos seus modos de sentir. Esta pesquisa investiga as sensações de bailarinos de diferentes partes do Brasil durante seu processo de aprendizagem em aulas de ballet online intermediário-avançado e sua relação com a construção de sua corporalidade. Realizamos estudo qualitativo, com fontes etnográficas e autoetnográficas (observação, participação, entrevistas e vídeos). Os bailarinos nas aulas de ballet remotas relataram sentir desafios e oportunidades em relação às suas percepções de ver, ouvir, tocar, sentir cinestesicamente. A maioria dos bailarinos relatou bem-estar e melhoras na saude mental e fisica devido à socialização com seus pares dançando e aprendendo continuamente. Estas aulas desafiaram a sensorialidade dos bailarinos e serviram como um recurso extra para o conhecimento da dança.
Encontros entre práticas:
Authors: Freitas Vilela Lilian
Published: March 2024

Este artigo aborda um encontro entre duas linhagens somáticas influenciadoras da dança: Sistema Laban-Bartenieff e Body-Mind CenteringSM (BMC), ou mais especificamente,os Fundamentos propostos por Bartenieff e os princípios dos Padrões Neurocelulares Básicos (PNB). Nas duas linhagens existe a indicação de reviver as fases de desenvolvimento do movimento humano como estratégia de reorganização da conectividade corporal para desfazer bloqueios, automatismos e como suporte nas elaborações criativas de movimentos. As duas abordagens influenciaram e continuam alimentando mudanças nos modos de ensinar e criar danças. Neste trabalho partilho uma narrativa somática construída por certos princípios conectivos deste vasto campo experienciado a partir de enunciados (imaginação guiada) e sequências prévias de movimento orientadas pelas duas abordagens. A narrativa indica processos em elo, de movimentos internos até mudanças de forma no espaço, do chão até a locomoção, em conexões com as Cinesferas (interna, pessoal e exterior), na partilha integrada entre corpo e ambiente.

Published: March 2024

Neste artigo, a noção de improvisação em dança é abordada a partir de processos criativos com base nas cosmogonias afro-brasileiras. Denominamos nossas experienciAções de Dança Armengue. São criações cênicas anticoregráficas e contradramatúrgicas nas quais fazemos uso de objetos (ob.jetos-arquivo) em suas composições corp.orais. Essas criações foram feitas durante oficinas e aulas as quais foram usados princípios da Elinga, sistematizados e desenvolvidos, incialmente, em um estágio de pós-doutorado em dança no PPGDANÇA/UFBA. Um de nossos objetivos é desmantelar a visão preconceituosa, apresentada nos dicionários brasileiros, sobre o termo regional, baiano, armengue.  Apresentamos provocAções desde outros pontos de vista sobre o conceito de improvisação. Argumentamos desde epistemologias da periferia, práticas criativas “rueiras” brasileiras. Neste sentido o conceito de improvisação-armengue é considerado em nossos estudos como uma arma-criativa e anticolonial do povo brasileiro

Authors: Abd Muna Tawfeeq , Mshary Ghasaq Sami , Kadhim Ali Nasser , Khamees Husien Abbas
Published: March 2024

Introduction: prevalent in the majority of developing nations.
Case report: The present study reported a foot and mouth disease Sat-2 outbreak in Al-Muthanna province in southern Iraq in March 2023. Three male Holstein Friesian cows, aged between 1 and 1.5 years and weighing approximately 550 ± 15 kg each, were affected. Clinical examination revealed symptoms, including fever, severe lameness, anorexia, depression, frothy salivation, and vesicular lesions on the mouth and feet. Confirmation of the Sat-2 serotype was achieved through serological testing and genotyping of the virus, conducted by the FMD Institute, Ankara, Türkiye. The Sat-2 serotype was recognized by genotyping the virus and submitting SAT-2 VP1 sequences. The treatments for secondary infection prevention included Ceftifur (2.2 mg/kg) for 5 days, and flunixin meglumine (2.2 mg/kg) for 2 days. The other animals that were not exposed to infected animals were vaccinated against FMD. Rigorous biosecurity measures were implemented, involving thorough disinfection of the environment and quarantine of the infected animals. Direct contact between the farmer and other animals, particularly the sick ones, was completely avoided. After 2 weeks, all infected animals began to eat normally again, and clinical signs disappeared. Notably, other animals on the farm did not exhibit any signs of FMD.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the findings of this study underscore the importance of biosecurity measures and vaccination in FMD prevention. Additionally, administering antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for the prevention of secondary infections proves to be crucial.

Hyptis suaveolens (H. suaveolens), known as Gros baume or sweet-smelling Hyptis, is an invasive plant from tropical regions widely used to manage human and animal ailments, such as bacterial, viral, and parasitic diseases. This study aimed to synthesize a scientific research work on the use of this medicinal plant in the traditional pharmacopeia, as well as the biological and pharmacological activities already recognized in the literature. Information for this synthesis was collected from physical (libraries and documentation centers of universities in Benin) and reliable scientific databases, such as PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science, which were queried based on the keywords related to H. suaveolens. This plant contains secondary metabolites in its aerial parts, such as leaves, and stems, which are rich in essential oils. From leaves to roots, all parts of this plant are of interest to both humans and animals to treat various pathologies. The most frequently cited diseases include asthma, panariasis, jaundice, hyperthermia, indigestion, stomach pains, nausea, colds, gall bladder infections, breast abscesses, hemorrhoids, oral-anal candidiasis, edemas, cramps, and skin infections The various aqueous and ethanolic extracts are evaluated by researchers and the biological activities are indicated in the literature. Those activities include the antibacterial, antifungal, larvicidal, antioxidant, anticholinesterase, insect repellent, and insecticidal effects. However, no toxicity resulting from the use of this plant has yet been reported in the literature. Research on H. suaveolens toxicity must be continued to gain a comprehensive understanding of its application in human and livestock health. This literature review allows the virtues and risks related to the traditional use of H. suaveolens in human and animal pharmacopeia. The various potentialities of this plant provide a lever for exploring its antiviral effects in traditional veterinary medicine in general.
Entwicklung in der Aufbereitungstechnik
Authors: Rauscher Sebastian
Published: March 2024

The construction and recycling industry is currently in a phase of dynamic change. Driven by climate and resource policy measures, above all the Substitute Building Materials Ordinance introduced in Germany in August 2023, mass flows and treatment processes are shifting from construction sites to specialised recycling centres. The monitoring and documentation of mineral substitute building materials is a key aspect of the ordinance. Recycling companies can only return the increased masses and complex material compositions to the material cycle in high quality by using innovative processing technology. There is a wide range of options for processing, checking and treating secondary raw materials. Heinrich Feeß GmbH & Co. KG (Feess) is actively involved in research projects to explore innovative ways of processing technology and to overcome the challenges of practical application. This text highlights a selection of projects that Feess is currently working on. The promising project for the carbonation of old concrete will be presented. The process, which is based on the conversion of calcium hydroxide to calcium carbonate, can be used to bind environmentally harmful CO2 in recycled products. Carbonation is being implemented on an industrial scale and integrated into the logistical framework of a recycling site. Another project is concerned with the construction of an efficient building material sorting plant to produce high-quality recycled aggregates and increase the recycling rate. Feess was able to utilise its many years of experience in the recycling of mineral waste in the development of this plant. The aim is to maximise added value within an economical and practical framework. A third project, KreiSBau, focuses on the utilisation of the fine-grained mixed construction waste fraction in building construction. By reducing the sulphate content and developing RC construction products, the aim is to achieve a closed material cycle in order to increase resource efficiency and minimise the landfill rate. Overall, these research projects demonstrate Germany's endeavours to establish a sustainable circular economy in the construction sector by driving forward innovative technologies and processes in mineral waste processing.

PERSPECTIVES ON THE REAL, THE IMAGINARY, AND THE MUSIC IN GIM
Authors: Lawes Martin
Published: March 2024

This article focuses on the traveler’s experience in GIM being real and imaginary at the same time. Clinical material is drawn on to illustrate the theme as it relates to narrative transformation, defensive maneuvers, and working with trauma in GIM. The article includes an in-depth exploration of the role of the music in the process, where it often seems to provide just what the traveler needs when he needs it. This is not only of central importance therapeutically but is also highly paradoxical, part of the real-illusion of the traveller’s experience in GIM as the author describes it. The author develops a theoretical meta-perspective drawing on psychoanalytic, transpersonal, and other thinking and proposes that in opening deeply to the music, the traveler’s needs are met through his personal process becoming aligned with a universal process of being and becoming in which he and all things partake and are ultimately one.
A quantile shift approach to main effects and interactions in a 2-by-2 design
Authors: Wilcox Rand R. , Rousselet Guillaume A.
Published: March 2024

When comparing two independent groups, shift functions are basically techniques that compare multiple quantiles rather than a single measure of location, the goal being to get a more detailed understanding of how the distributions differ. Various versions have been proposed and studied. This paper deals with extensions of these methods to main effects and interactions in a between-by-between, 2-by-2 design. Two approaches are studied, one that compares the deciles of the distributions, and one that has a certain connection to the Wilcoxon–Mann–Whitney method. There are many quantile estimators, but for reasons summarized in the paper, the focus is on using the Harrell–Davis quantile estimator used in conjunction with a percentile bootstrap method. Included are results comparing two methods aimed at controlling the probability of one or more Type I errors.

A educação em István Mészáros: reflexões por uma prática educacional transformadora.
Authors: Silva Brandão Daniel , Melo de Freitas Pinto Ernesto Renan
Published: March 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a concepção de educação de István Mészáros a partir de suas teorizações, concepções e compreensões educacionais em A educação para além do capital (2005), afim de refletir acerca da construção de uma prática educacional transformadora, tal como uma alternativa sustentável. Parte da necessidade em perceber uma urgente mudança na estrutura social hegemônica a partir da educação. Considera neste debate amplo o estado, a função e a busca teórico-educacional por postular uma concepção autêntica, distante dos limites coercitivos do capital, bem como que cumpra com os objetivos históricos atribuídos à educação, seja ela formal, informal ou não-formal. Entende nesse embate que, para instituir uma mudança radical, é necessário refletir sobre a crítica ao organismo sociometabólico do capital, além de construir uma crítica que busque romper com a incorrigível lógica do capital, tendo em vista os objetivos reais da educação: a emancipação humana.
O Discurso sobre homossexualidade em "Adonias", de Alberto Guzik e "Primeiras vezes", de Natália Polesso.
Authors: de Barros Gabriel André , Silvestre Leite Di Iório Patrícia
Published: March 2024

Este trabalho busca analisar o ethos homossexual (feminino e masculino) dos corpora “Adonias”, de Alberto Guzik e “Primeiras Vezes”, de Natália Polesso. Considerando-se, que um texto não é uma base de signos estáticos, mas “o rastro deixado por um discurso em que a fala é encenada” (MAIGUENEAU, 2006, p. 85), e, ainda, que as cenas de enunciação operam em três sentidos que se complementam: a cena englobante, a cena genérica e a cenografia, busca-se, a partir da leitura e análise dos contos, discutir se há diferença na construção do ethos discursivo homossexual feminino e masculino, bem como contribuir para uma leitura crítica de como a literatura brasileira representa a comunidade LGBTQ+. Para a análise proposta, seguir-se-á os procedimentos sugeridos por Orlandi (2005), que consistem, primeiramente, na de-superficialização do discurso, depois na análise dos aspectos selecionados: cenas da enunciação e ethos discursivo homossexual. Após essa análise preliminar, realizar-se-á a interpretação do processo discursivo, estabelecendo um elo entre as formações discursivas dos dois contos e relacionando-as com a formação ideológica que rege essas relações.
The Triumph of EU Law in Context?
Authors: Menéndez Agustín José
Published: March 2024

Whereas law-in-context analyses of Community law were relatively rare in the early 1990s, they seemed to flourish from that point onwards. Unsurprisingly, even “mainstream” journals, such as the Common Market Law Review, now strive to attract pieces that combine legal analysis with social, political or economic insights. Does that mean that we are all “contextualists” now? Not in my view.
Usefulness of TyG-index to determines insulin resistance in obese adolescents
Authors: Widjaja Nur Aisiyah , Irawan Roedi
Published: March 2024

Background: Obesity is associated with Insulin Resistance (IR). The Triglycerides Glucose (TyG) index have been used to assess IR, however it needs to establish cut-off points to use in the obese adolescence. Purpose: This study aims to analyse the TyG-index as marker of IR in obese adolescence. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted on obese adolescents aged 13-18 years in secondary school. Anthropometric measurements were performed. Lipid profile, fasting blood glucose, and insulin level were measured. HOMA IR were calculated using the formula: [glucose (mg/dL) x Insulin (µu/L)] / 405, cut-off value to describes IR was > 3.43 for both sexes which performs for pediatric population. TyG-index was calculated by the formula: TyG = Ln [TG (mg/dl) × FBG (mg/dl)]/2. Receiving operation characteristic (ROC) were carried out to determines area under curve (AUC) and cut-off points of IR for TyG-index determines by the biggest value of Youden index. Results: A total of 256 adolescents with obesity were participated this study. 59.8% (153/256 or) were non-IR, while 40.2% (103/256) had IR; Male: female ratio was 144/112. TyG-index was higher significantly in subjects with IR than non-IR (4.63 + 0.25 vs 4.46 + 0.26; p<0.05). HOMA-IR correlated positively with TyG-index (r=0.397, p=0.000). AUC for TyG-index was 0.703, p=0.000 (95% CI [0.639-0.770]). The best cut-off points for TyG-index to determines IR >4.50, with sensitivity of 70.3% and specificity of 63.23%. Conclusion: TyG-index is useful to be an alternative marker for assessing IR in obese adolescence with the best cut-off point to distinguish IR is > 4.50.

Nota sobre la idea de filosofía en Kierkegaard
Authors: Viñas Vera Ángel
Published: March 2024

Este artículo analiza la idea de filosofía en Kierkegaard. Para ello toma como punto de partida su obra tanto pseudónima como edificante. Para abordar este objeto reviso, en primer lugar, la filosofía que este autor no hace y de la que se aleja. En un segundo momento, muestro la idea de filosofía que se expresa en su autoría. En ambos puntos se muestra que su filosofía no es irracionalista ni fideísta, sino que está anclada en el existente que quiere encontrar una verdad en la que vivir. Esto supone un rechazo a la idea de la filosofía como sistema entendida sub specie aeternitatis. La filosofía que él hizo de múltiples formas y en estilos diversos es una aventura existencial y ética donde la vida personal y colectiva está en juego.
Análisis social-teológico del momento actual
Authors: González Faus José Ignacio
Published: March 2024

El artículo intenta hacer una lectura de los “signos de los tiempos” desde la constatación siguiente: el no haber aprendido la lección ni del Holocausto (como sostuvo Primo Levi) ni de la pandemia (como sostienen los mejores sociólogos modernos), nos ha llevado a una situación llena de amenazas muy serias y muy probables ante la cual existen dos posturas: inconsciencia por un lado y pesimismo consciente por el otro. Desde aquí se intenta recoger algunas semillas de esperanza que van desde la puesta en evidencia de la maldad del capitalismo hasta la recuperación de pequeñas lecciones de otras culturas.
La pirámide invertida para la enseñanza y aprendizaje de la matemática.
Authors: Terán Solórzano Norma Virginia , Cedeño Loor Francisco Omar , Small Howell Luis Armando
Published: March 2024

La pandemia de COVID-19 ha impactado el sistema educativo, incluyendo la enseñanza de la matemática en el 7º año de la Unidad Educativa Particular "Manabí Tecnológico" en Portoviejo, Ecuador.  En respuesta a esto, se ha implementado un nuevo modelo de enseñanza basado en el aula invertida. Este modelo cambia el enfoque tradicional, donde el docente imparte la mayoría del contenido en clase. En cambio, el 70% del aprendizaje ahora es responsabilidad del estudiante, quien lo realiza de forma autónoma antes de las clases. El 30% restante del tiempo en clase se dedica a la interacción con el docente, quien facilita el aprendizaje, resuelve dudas y ofrece apoyo individualizado. Este nuevo enfoque se basa en la teoría de Vygotsky sobre el aprendizaje y busca mejorar los resultados en la enseñanza de la matemática.  La investigación tiene como objetivo principal determinar la eficiencia del modelo de aula invertida en el aprendizaje de la matemática en este contexto. Se espera que los resultados demuestren que este modelo es una estrategia efectiva para mejorar el rendimiento académico de los estudiantes en esta materia.
The Regulatory Framework on the Legal Duties of the Stakeholders in Commercial Marine Accidents at Saudi Arabia’s Regional Sea
Authors: Kattach Reem
Published: March 2024

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is aiming to diversify sources of income, develop the infrastructure of the maritime sector, and enhance interconnection with all transport sectors in the Kingdom; especially that more than 75% of maritime trade is non-oil; the most recent regulated division between the transportation divisions is the Sea Transportation. Until recently, Saudi Arabia was part of some of the international treaties and conventions that are related to the marine sector, and no local laws and regulations were enforced -except for some provisions which are part of laws and regulations that regulate other matters-. That said, the local maritime laws and regulations in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia were recently issued, and there is some un-clarity and ambiguity regarding the framework that determines the responsibilities of different stakeholders involved in a commercial accident when such an accident occurs on the regional water of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The issue becomes more important when a ship which is not registered or does not hold the Saudi Flag is involved in such an accident. The ambiguity of the framework makes the application of the law complicated, and accommodates negative impacts related to -without limitation-: the time consumed while removing the accident and its effects, the environmental impact on the sea, and decreasing the cost of removing or resolving such accident. The research aims to study the challenges and gaps related to the legal framework of the maritime law when it comes to accidents of commercial ships at the regional water of the Kingdom and the responsibilities of the stakeholders. The research will use the historical and descriptive-analytical doctrinal research methodology. The researcher will find where there is a room to adapt or amend regulations that might help in resolving, seizing, or covering the current gaps and challenges related to the current regulatory framework of the regional sea of Saudi Arabia attributed to the commercial marine accidents.
Certification Approaches for Weigh-In-Motion Systems in Law Enforcement Applications
Authors: Konijnenburg Jan
Published: March 2024

Every day, overweight and excessively heavy vehicles cause damage to roads, bridges, and other vehicle-based infrastructure. To protect the vital transportation infrastructure for the U.S., states have imposed weight limits for commercial and fleet transport vehicles. A common way for enforcing these weight limits is to guide trucks off the road to weigh stations where the vehicles can be weighed using static truck scales. A disadvantage of these dedicated weigh stations is that they take up a substantial amount of space (which is not always available) and time to conduct weighments, as well as cause delays to traffic flow that may impede commerce based on truck transport. A solution to these problems is the use of high-speed weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems that are installed in the road and weigh vehicles as they pass by while maintaining their speed.
For jurisdictions to effectively use a WIM system for direct enforcement of weight limits, the system must be evaluated against a recognized standard to establish suitability for its intended application. The vast majority of weighing instruments used for legal metrology purposes (including law enforcement) need to comply with the requirements in NIST Handbook 44 Specifications, Tolerances, and Other Technical Requirements for Weighing and Measuring Devices. However, the NIST Handbook 44 does not (yet) cover WIM systems for direct enforcement.
Although state and local jurisdictions use NIST Handbook 44 to certify legal metrological instruments, it does not exclude jurisdictions from using additional technical standards to certify certain instruments. New York City recently certified a WIM system to protect a critical section of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (BQE) by designating it as a pilot project while efforts were made to amend NIST Handbook 44 to include WIM systems for direct enforcement.
This publication discusses the main characteristics of WIM systems and how they can be used for direct enforcement. An overview of several alternative documentary standards that can be applied for certification of WIM systems is also provided, with further explanation regarding how the New York City Department of Transportation (NYCDOT) implemented the certification of the WIM system to begin issuing citations to overweight vehicles in an effort to protect the BQE.

Objective: The present study aimed to compare the effectiveness of schema therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy before marriage on the desire to marry and fear of marriage among single women. Methods and Materials: The present study was quasi-experimental, employing a pre-test and post-test design with a non-equivalent control group. The study population consisted of single women in district one of Tehran in 2022. The sample included 60 individuals selected via convenience sampling based on a call from the study population and randomly assigned to two experimental groups and one control group. Participants responded to the Heidari, Mazaheri, and Pooretemad (2004) marriage desire questionnaire and the Samiei, Yousefi, and Nashatdoust (2014) fear of marriage questionnaire before and after the intervention. The first experimental group underwent schema therapy and the second experimental group underwent cognitive-behavioral therapy in eight 90-minute sessions, based on the schema therapy protocol (Leahy, Robert, 2011) and the cognitive-behavioral therapy protocol (Beck, 1964), respectively. Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA and follow-up tests with SPSS software. Findings: The results showed that schema therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy significantly increased the desire to marry and decreased the fear of marriage among single women (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Given the findings, it can be concluded that pre-marriage schema therapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy can be proposed as effective therapeutic methods for improving the desire to marry and reducing the fear of marriage among single women, and can be employed as significant and key interventions in the pre-marriage domain.

Objective: Dark personality traits, which have been the focus of empirical and research attention in the last decade, include narcissism, antisocial behavior, and Machiavellianism. The aim of the current research was to model dark personality traits based on childhood traumas with the mediation of guilt, anxiety, and depression. Methods and Materials: The present study was correlational and utilized structural equation modeling due to its objectives. The study population consisted of university students in 2021. Based on Cochran's formula, 382 individuals were selected via convenience sampling and responded to questionnaires. The Johnson and Webster (2010) Dark Personality Traits questionnaire, the Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) Anxiety and Depression scales, the Mosher (2008) Guilt Inventory, and the Bernstein et al. (1994) Childhood Trauma questionnaire were used in this research. Data were analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling. SPSS 22 and AMOS 18 software were utilized for data analysis. Findings: The modeling results indicated that guilt did not play a mediating role in the relationship between childhood traumas and dark personality traits (p = .39), whereas childhood traumas had a significant indirect relationship with dark personality traits through anxiety and depression (p = .05). Conclusion: Given the findings, it is concluded that dark personality traits are a consequence of childhood traumas, where anxiety and depression play a significant role in this process. Therefore, it is necessary to implement intervention strategies to prevent dark personality traits in students who have experienced childhood traumas
