South Africa’s economic response to the Covid-19 crisis: a post-pandemic shift or more of the same?
Authors: Ashman Sam , Scully Ben
Published: December 2023

Many observers see the Covid-19 crisis as marking a major shift in neoliberal globalization. We analyze this question from the perspective of South Africa. We argue that the 2020 crisis has not precipitated a major shift as much as it has rapidly accelerated trends which were already under way since 2008. We illustrate this through an account of political and economic developments in South Africa since 2008, showing how ongoing trends shaped the government’s economic response to the Covid-19 crisis. We argue that the South African case illustrates broader trends in global capitalism. It suggests some significant departures from the version of neoliberal globalization that has prevailed in the past few decades. But on the fundamental question of the balance of economic power both between classes and between the global South and North, there is little reason for optimism.
Deriving Morphologically Irregular Passive Potential Adjectives in Polish
Authors: Wasak Sebastian
Published: December 2023

In Polish, passive potential adjectives are productively formed by means of attaching the suffix -alny to transitive verbs (Szymanek 2010). They have been shown to project the external argument of their verbs, as well as being able to co-occur with agentive przez-phrases and instrumental phrases (Bloch-Trojnar 2019). Hence, under a syntactic approach to word formation such as Distributed Morphology, they are derived via outer affixation, with their structure containing the vP and VoiceP heads. A small subset of Polish passive potential adjectives are derived with affixes other than -alny. These include czytelny ‘legible, readable, understandable’, strawny ‘digestible’ and zrozumiały ‘understandable, comprehensible’. In this paper, it is demonstrated that while these adjectives behave similarly to -alny adjectives in terms of licensing Voice-related modifiers, they are excluded from a wide range of verbal contexts available to regularly derived passive potential adjectives. As such, czytelny, strawny and zrozumiały offer evidence for the claim that the layer that introduces event implications is distinct from the verbal head that triggers spell-out. Specifically, adjectives such as czytelny, strawny and zrozumiały can be argued to contain the little v head, but not the cyclic vP projection, which is in line with the architecture of grammar as proposed by Embick (2010).

Authors: Jameson Goredema , Machaba Masilo France , Matabane Mogalatjane Edward
Published: December 2023

This case study explored Grade 12 learners’ misconceptions in limits of functions. The study aimed at understanding problems that learners face in learning the concepts of limit by analyzing misconceptions that learners have and identifying the possible sources of these misconceptions to take remedial action. An exploratory research design was adopted, and purposive sampling employed to select 35 Grade 12 learners (21 females and 14 males) who wrote a test on limits. From the 35 learners who wrote the test, five learners were interviewed guided by their written responses. Theoretically, the study was guided by the constructivism theory and used a systematic error conceptual framework to categories the learners` misconceptions according to extrinsic and intrinsic calculus misconceptions. The study sought to answer the questions: (a) What type of misconceptions do Grade 12 learners exhibit in responding to limit questions? (b) What are the possible sources of these misconceptions? The study found that Learners exhibited misconceptions on the limit concept and related symbolism. Learners who had a flawed understanding of algebraic concepts struggled to apply limits correctly. The weak foundation on algebraic skills impacted negatively on their learning of new concepts on limits. The study recommends that, educators should always check and make sure that learners have appropriate prior knowledge before the teaching of new concepts in calculus.  It is recommended that that teaching and learning approaches need to be adjusted to give equal weight to both the procedural and the conceptual understanding of mathematical knowledge in learners.

Published: December 2023

This study investigated the evolution of the methods and tools used in the architectural design studio. The focus was on the MIM 201 Architectural Design Studio II course, based on a hybrid approach where conventional and new methods are used together. For this reason, the primary data sources of the study are student productions, observations, and comments of studio tutors. While presenting the data in the article, an approach that fragmented the studio was followed instead of a chronological path. Thus, all studio elements were discussed separately, and their potential was demonstrated. The study showed that conventional tools such as context-subject, critiques, and jury are still essential and effective studio components. On the other hand, it was observed that new tools (QD) joining the studio enriched the studio experience, but the potential of some of them (OB) needed to be developed. Study findings also showed that students preferred face-to-face and active communication in the studio. The learning space was one of the most important parts of the process as an atmosphere for student motivation and belonging.

Call Me Mendeleev: A Middle Grades Science Lesson on the Periodic Properties of Elements
Authors:   East Carolina University, Glass Bonnie B. , Lee Tammy D. ,   East Carolina University, Driver E. Blair ,   Pitt County Schools
Published: December 2023

Each year, in middle and high school classrooms, secondary science teachers introduce their students to the periodic table of elements (herein the periodic table). According to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS Lead States, 2013), one of the performance expectations states that high school students should be able to, “Use the periodic table as a model to predict the relative properties of elements based on the patterns of electrons in the outermost energy levels.” Thus, building an understanding of how elements vary in properties is foundational knowledge for middle grades science students. In this paper, we provide context around the importance of having middle grades students participate in the scientific practices of evaluating data and model-building, just as Dimitri Mendeleev and his contemporaries did. Having students use data on elemental properties to find patterns helps them develop their understanding of the nature of scientific discovery as well as aid in their comprehension of the periodicity of elements. Middle grades students are rarely engaged in the process of scientific model-building (Schwarz et al., 2009). Involving learners in model development leads to deeper understanding of key models in science and the nature of disciplinary knowledge in science (Lehrer & Schauble, 2007). By explaining this novel lesson, we evidence how this activity engaged students in the practices of scientists as they learned about this fundamental model.

Published: December 2023

Professional Growth Plans (PGPs), a model of professional development for educators, were completed in the context of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) as part of a grant from a state Professional Educator Standards Board. Participants were in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and represented different educator roles in two urban elementary schools. The PGP process was introduced in PLCs and focused on the implementation of High Leverage Practices (HLPs) for inclusive classrooms (McLeskey et al., 2019). In a collaborative effort with university facilitators, educators engaged in tenets of Participatory Action Research (PAR) through enactment of the PGP process to implement and reflect on outcomes related to their use of HLPs. Educators selected PGP goals focused on areas of instructional growth and improvement of student performance. PAR was enacted in the context of educators’ individual instructional settings through implementation of PGPs. The purpose of the grant was to familiarize and support educators in the PGP process. The purpose of the study was to identify educators’ perceived benefits and challenges with the implementation of PGPs within the context of a collaborative PLC.

Published: December 2023

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of corporate governance practices on the earnings quality of 228 firms located in the United Kingdom throughout the period from 2019 to 2022. Our fundamental concept states that there is a negative relationship between the efficiency of corporate governance practices within the organization and the probability of participating in earnings manipulation. The findings of our empirical study offer substantiation for our claims, as they demonstrate that companies with boards of directors marked by notable autonomy and financial capabilities, along with the presence of effective audit and compensation committees, experience an improvement in the quality of their earnings.

Qualidade fisiológica e bioquímica de sementes de soja dessecadas em diferentes estádios de maturação e armazenadas
Authors:   , Silva Júnior Rubens Alves da
Published: December 2023

Aplicações de dessecantes em pré-colheita pode ser uma alternativa para produção de sementes soja. No entanto, a dessecação em momentos inadequados pode levar a redução da qualidade das sementes. O uso de dessecantes em fase de divisão, expansão, deposição de reservas, por exemplo, podem interferir no desenvolvimento das sementes diminuindo a massa, produtividade e a qualidade fisiológica. Dentre vários fatores que afetam a produção de sementes com esse tratamento, destaca-se o momento da aplicação do dessecante. Assim, objetivou-se com esse estudo avaliar o efeito da dessecação em diferentes estádios de maturação de campo na qualidade de sementes de soja, propor modelos de redes neurais artificiais (ANN) para classificar a qualidade fisiológica das sementes e entender o comportamento de enzimas antioxidantes em sementes de soja submetidas a dessecação em diferentes estádios de maturação de campo, após a colheita e ao longo do armazenamento. Os tratamentos foram compostos por três cultivares de soja de tipo de crescimento indeterminado e três estádios de dessecação. T1: dessecação das plantas no estádio R7, T2: dessecação no estádio R7.3; e T3: plantas não dessecadas e colhidas no estádio R8. O dessecante utilizado foi o Paraquat na dosagem de 400 g ha-1 de ingrediente ativo. Após a secagem, as plantas foram colhidas, trilhadas e as sementes armazenadas durante oito meses em ambiente de laboratório (temperatura de 18 °C ± 1,8 °C e umidade relativa do ar de 65,6% ± 12,8%). A qualidade das sementes foi avaliada inicialmente e aos quatro e oito meses de armazenamento quanto às características morfológicas, qualidade fisiológica (germinação e vigor) e atividade de enzimas antioxidantes. A dessecação das plantas no estádio R7 levou à produção de sementes com características físicas desuniformes e, em geral, redução da qualidade fisiológica. Neste estádio, foram identificados redução no tamanho, menor acúmulo de matéria seca, maior porcentagem de sementes verdes e maior variação nos índices que determinam a cor e morfologia das sementes. Com acurácia de 100%, as redes neurais artificiais foram eficientes para classificar a qualidade de sementes produzidas de plantas dessecadas nos estádios de maturação de campo R7 e R7.3 e colhidas em R8 sem dessecação. Quanto às características fisiológicas e bioquímicas das sementes, a qualidade variou com o cultivar, momento de dessecação e ambiente de produção. Com relação ao sistema de defesa antioxidativo, foi observado redução na atividade das enzimas POX após 8 meses de armazenamento em sementes dessecadas nos estádios R7, R7.3 ou colhidas no estádio R8. Já as enzimas APX, CAT e SOD também podem indicar associação com a qualidade fisiológica de sementes de soja dessecadas. Palavras-chave: Pré-colheita. Estádio fenológico. Morfologia. Vigor. Enzimas. Qualidade.
Caracterização físico-química e biodisponibilidade de ferro in vitro de melados de diferentes genótipos de sorgo sacarino ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)

Published: December 2023

O sorgo é um cereal com múltiplos benefícios à saúde humana, com propriedades antiproliferativas, antioxidantes, antimicrobiana e anti-inflamatória. Dentre os tipos de sorgo, têm-se o sorgo sacarino (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), cujo nome refere-se à alta concentração de açúcares solúveis contidos em seus caules. O melado de sorgo vem sendo consumido em alguns países, entretanto, são poucos os estudos que analisaram a composição físico-química desse produto e seus benefícios à saúde. Além disso, como existe uma grande diversidade de genótipos desse sorgo, as composições dos melados podem sofrer variações. Assim, o objetivo desse trabalho foi analisar a composição físico-química de melados de dez diferentes genótipos de sorgo sacarino (BR 501, BRS 511, CMSXS 5017, CMSXS 5035, CMSXS 5021, CMSXS 5039, CMSXS 5041, CMSXS 5022, CMSXS 5043 e CMSXS 5045), bem como do melado de cana-de-açúcar, e a biodisponibilidade de ferro in vitro. Foram realizadas as análises de composição centesimal, minerais, pH, acidez titulável, sólidos solúveis totais, teor de açúcar total, redutores e não redutores, taninos condensados, ácido fítico, amido resistente, fenólicos totais e atividade antioxidante. Foi realizado ensaio em células Caco-2 para avaliar a biodisponibilidade de ferro dos melados mais promissores. Foi aplicada análise de variância one-way ANOVA, seguida pelo teste post-hoc de Dunnett para comparar os melados de sorgo com o de cana-de-açúcar e de Tuckey para comparação de médias entre os melados de sorgo. Os melados de sorgo apresentaram variação no conteúdo de proteína (0,28 - 2,90%), lipídeos (0,07 - 0,53%), fibra alimentar total (0,00 - 2,85%), carboidratos (90,16 - 93,29%), pH (4,67 - 4,95), acidez (0,3 - 0,45) e BRIX (38,2 - 58,5°). Destacou-se a maior concentração de cinzas (3,30 - 6,86%) e cálcio (397 – 966mg) nos melados de sorgo em relação à cana-de-açúcar (1,98% e 70 mg). Os melados de sorgo também apresentaram teores mais elevados de compostos fenólicos totais (19,3 – 48,4 mg GAE/g) em comparação com a cana-de-açúcar (8,8 mg GAE/g), como compostos fenólicos e atividade antioxidante. Os melados CMSXS 5022 e 5039 apresentaram maiores concentrações tanto de ferro (45,56 e 48,9 mg/100g, respectivamente) quanto de ferritina (6,33 e 6,82 ng/mg de proteína, respectivamente) em relação à cana-de-açúcar, em células Caco-2. Embora o melado CMSXS 5021 tenha uma concentração de ferro (29,27 mg/100g) menor do que a cana-de-açúcar (35,23 mg/100g), a concentração de ferritina (5,05 ng/mg de proteína) em células Caco-2 foi igual à cana-de-açúcar (4,33 ng/mg de proteína). Assim, o melado de sorgo mostrou-se fonte biodisponível de ferro e de compostos bioativos, demonstrando ser um alimento promissor a ser utilizado na culinária brasileira. Palavras-chave: Xarope.

Prevalência de síndrome do imobilismo em pacientes oncológicos internados na pandemia de COVID-19
Authors:   , Corrêa Rodrigo Gonçalves
Published: December 2023

Este estudo objetivou investigar a prevalência da Síndrome do Imobilismo (SI) nos pacientes em tratamento de câncer em um hospital terciário, durante a pandemia da COVID-19, sua associação com o estádio e localização da doença, sintomas e perdas funcionais e avaliar a associação da infecção pelo SARS CoV-2 com a presença e gravidade da SI. Para analisar estes desfechos nesta dissertação, é apresentado um artigo original intitulado “Prevalência de síndrome do imobilismo em pacientes oncológicos internados na pandemia de COVID-19”. Trata-se de estudo observacional transversal analítico, com pessoas de ambos os sexos, com idade igual ou maior de 18 anos, com diagnóstico de câncer e em tratamento relacionado à doença, internados em uma instituição terciária em oncologia, no período de 01 de novembro de 2021 a 31 de agosto de 2022. Foi utilizado um questionário, contendo a classificação da gravidade da SI, classificação da funcionalidade, o Pictograma de Fadiga (PF), a Escala Visual Analógica (EVA) e dados sobre infecção e sequelas da infecção pelo SARS-CoV-2. A análise dos dados descritivos foi realizada no programa Excel e as associações, no software estatístico SPSS. O nível de significância considerado foi de 5%, intervalo de confiança (IC) 95% e o estudo foi aprovado pelo comitê de ética e pesquisa com humanos. Foram incluídos 895 participantes, 54% homens e 46% mulheres. A prevalência da SI em pacientes com câncer internados foi de 61% com classificação da gravidade de 1 a 5 e 29% para a SI com classificação da gravidade clinicamente significativa de 3 a 5. Dos pacientes em tratamento nas unidades de internação nos setores de quimioterapia, clínica e cirurgia, 15% tiveram diagnóstico de COVID- 19, e destes, 14% apresentaram sintomas durante a COVID-19, os dados analisados não fornecem evidências estatísticas suficientes para afirmar que a ocorrência de Covid-19 esteja relacionada de forma significativa com a presença da SI. As variáveis significativas associadas ao desenvolvimento da SICS foram, a unidade hospitalar de internação clínica (OR= 4,044), a fadiga (OR= 1,261) e a dor (OR=1,123) na EVA, que correspondem à percepção da intensidade dos sintomas e os eventos adversos, fadiga (OR= 2,271), redução da ADM (OR=10,564), artralgia (OR=11,121) e a lombalgia (OR=2,136).

Conselho Deliberativo do Patrimônio Cultural do município de Belo Horizonte: relações raciais e políticas patrimoniais
Authors:   , Santos Eduarda Alves
Published: December 2023

A proposta desta pesquisa consiste em analisar a atuação do Conselho Deliberativo do Patrimônio Cultural do Município de Belo Horizonte- CDPCM-BH na implementação da política patrimonial, de natureza material, no que diz respeito às ações voltadas para as relações raciais. O recorte temporal desta pesquisa compreende as décadas de 1984-1995, período em que a cidade de Belo Horizonte foi marcada por mudanças significativas, que refletiram na política patrimonial na capital mineira. O período também compreende os tombamentos do Terreiro Ilê Wopo Olojukan: Deus mais do que tudo (1995), e da Irmandade Nossa Senhora do Rosário do Jatobá (1995). Os documentos referentes a estes acontecimentos compõem a fonte deste trabalho, considerando que objeto da pesquisa é o racismo na política patrimonial de Belo Horizonte. Por se tratar de uma política patrimonial pouco discutida pela literatura acadêmica, buscou-se, neste estudo, analisar as principais características e a dinâmica desses ocorridos em face dos critérios universalizantes que regulam os procedimentos de tombamento e elegibilidade de seus beneficiários. Esses critérios reforçam relações de poder discriminatórias, constituindo desigualdades e demarcando fronteiras. No produto desta pesquisa destaca-se a importância da Educação Patrimonial Antirracista como um importante instrumento para superar as imagens negativas das histórias negras; fortalecer as experiências, as contribuições e as perspectivas negras, como também oportunizar uma nova forma de pensar e olhar os corpos e as expressões negras, atuando assim na luta contra as desigualdades raciais na capital mineira. Palavras-chave: Racismo. Política patrimonial. Educação patrimonial antirracista.

Coleópteros acuáticos (Insecta: Coleoptera) depositados en la Colección Zoológica de la Universidad del Tolima (CZUT)
Authors: Cardenas-Espitia Ingri Tatiana , Reinoso-Flórez Gladys
Published: December 2023

Introducción: Los Coleópteros acuáticos exhiben una gran importancia dentro de los cuerpos de agua, no solo por su papel en la cadena trófica, sino también por su papel como bioindicadores de la calidad del agua. A pesar de la gran importancia que representan, los estudios a nivel específico o sobre su riqueza y distribución son pocos en el departamento del Tolima y en general del país, por lo que surge este estudio. Objetivo: Ampliar el conocimiento sobre la biota de coleópteros acuáticos en el departamento del Tolima. Materiales y métodos: Se tuvo como base el material depositado en la Colección Zoológica de la Universidad del Tolima (CZUT), se realizó la determinación taxonómica y se estableció la distribución del material en las diferentes cuencas y municipios del departamento del Tolima. Resultados: Se encontraron 16 familias, 22 subfamilias y 61 géneros, siendo las familias Dytiscidae (13 géneros), Elmidae (13 géneros) y Staphylinidae (9 géneros), por otra parte, estos resultados representaron el 39,6% de los géneros reportados para Colombia y el 78,2% para el departamento del Tolima. El material evaluado proviene de 14 de las 18 cuencas mayores del departamento, siendo Saldaña, Totare y Prado las que mostraron la mayor riqueza y abundancia de Coleópteros acuáticos. Conclusión: Finalmente, y teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, se evidencia que las colecciones biológicas representan importantes repositorios de biodiversidad, dado que son pocas las ocasiones en las que se puede realizar la revisión y el aprovechamiento de un material con un amplio rango temporal, altitudinal y espacial, por lo que, seguir realizando estudios que involucren estos espacios es vital para conocer y dilucidar la biodiversidad del país.

Dijital teknolojilerin geliştiği bir dünyada dijital vatandaşlık kavramı önem kazanmıştır. Çünkü dijital vatandaş gelişen teknolojiyi ve içinde bulunduğumuz zamanı en iyi anlayan vatandaş tipidir. Bu sebeple bu vatandaşlık çeşidini iyi anlayıp genç kuşaklara benimsetmek için en önemli görev eğitime düşmektedir. Seçmeli olarak ortaöğretimde de okutulmaya başlayan medya okuryazarlığı dersi bu yüzden önem arz etmektedir. Çünkü medya okuryazarlığı dersi ile beraber dijital vatandaşlık kavramı ve alt boyutları genç nesillere aktarılabilir. Yapılan bu çalışmada medya okuryazarlığı dersi öğretim programı ve medya okuryazarlığı ders kitabın da yer alan ünite ve konular dijital vatandaşlık ve alt boyutları çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Veriler doküman analizi deseni kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre medya okuryazarlığı dersi ve öğretim programının dijital vatandaşlığın dijital okuryazarlık boyutu ile daha çok ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ama dijital vatandaşlığın diğer alt boyutlarına yönelik vurgunun ise az olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen dijital okuryazarlık becerisi medyada yer alan görselleri doğru bir şekilde algılayabilen ve yorumlayabilen vatandaşların en önemli özelliğidir. Araştırma sonucunda önerilerde bulunulmuştur.
