mHealth for the Self-management of Knee Osteoarthritis: Scoping Review (Preprint)
Authors: Kitagawa Takashi , Hayashi Masateru
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Educating patients on the self-management of knee osteoarthritis (OA) reportedly reduces pain, improves activities of daily living, and even reduces health care costs.

OBJECTIVE

This scoping review will summarize the current evidence on mobile health (mHealth) and smartphone app–based disease self-management for patients with knee OA.

METHODS

PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and CINAHL were systematically searched in May 2021 using the keywords “knee osteoarthritis,” “mobile health,” and “self-management.” Studies that investigated patients with knee OA based on radiography or clinical diagnosis were included. The following criteria were applied to the mobile phone apps included in the search-derived studies: the ability to (1) record and manage symptoms, (2) provide patient education, and (3) guide and record activities of daily living. Studies eligible for inclusion in this scoping review were interventional trials or observational studies published in English.

RESULTS

This scoping review included 8 reports, of which 3 were randomized controlled trials and 1 was a conference abstract. Most studies provided data on the outcomes of pain, physical function, and quality of life.

CONCLUSIONS

An increasing number of reports are addressing the effectiveness of mHealth in patients with knee OA, and the data suggest that mHealth efficacy is similar to conventional management of health.

Health Status, Quality of Life, Psychosocial Well-being, and Wearables Data of Patients With Active Ulcerative Colitis Receiving Filgotinib Therapy (FilgoColitis Study): Protocol for a Real-world Observational Study (Preprint)
Authors: Plachta-Danielzik Sandra , Grasskemper Lena , Schmidt Karen , Schreiber Stefan , Bokemeyer Bernd
Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND

Filgotinib was approved in Germany for treating patients with moderate to severe active ulcerative colitis in November 2021. It represents a preferential Janus kinase 1 inhibitor. The FilgoColitis study began recruiting immediately after approval and aims to assess filgotinib effectiveness under real-world conditions with a particular focus on patient-reported outcomes (PROs). The novelty of the study design is the optional inclusion of 2 innovative wearables, which could provide a new layer of patient-derived data.

OBJECTIVE

The study investigates quality of life (QoL) and psychosocial well-being of patients with active ulcerative colitis during long-term exposure to filgotinib. PROs related to QoL and psychometric profiles (fatigue and depression) are collected alongside with disease activity symptom scores. We aim to evaluate physical activity patterns collected by wearables as an addition to traditional PROs, patient-reported health status, and QoL in different phases of disease activity.

METHODS

This is a prospective, single-arm, multicentric, noninterventional, observational study with a sample size of 250 patients. QoL is assessed with validated questionnaires: the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (sIBDQ) for the disease-specific QoL, the EQ-5D for the general QoL, and the fatigue questionnaire (Inflammatory Bowel Disease-Fatigue [IBD-F]). Physical activity data are collected from patients using wearables (SENS motion leg sensor [accelerometry] and smartwatch, GARMIN vívosmart 4).

RESULTS

The enrollment started in December 2021 and was still open at the date of submission. After 6 months of study initiation, 69 patients were enrolled. The study is expected to be completed in June 2026.

CONCLUSIONS

Real-world data for novel drugs are important to assess effectiveness outside of highly selected populations represented by randomized controlled trials. We examine whether patients’ QoL and other PROs can be supplemented with physical activity patterns measured objectively. Use of wearables with newly defined outcomes represents an additional observational tool for monitoring disease activity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.

Published: May 2023

Сьогодні лікування остеоартрозу (ОА), як і раніше, є серйозною проблемою для медицини. Незважаючи на те, що багато широко використовуваних консервативних методів лікування ОА колінного суглоба визнані ефективними, триває пошук нових методів. Оскільки суглобовий хрящ має обмежений потенціал відновлення, ефективні методи лікування залишаються складними актуальними завданнями. Інноваційна терапія спрямована на пошук найкращого способу лікування для уповільнення прогресування ОА. Актуальними є епідеміологічні та клінічні дослідження ОА, оскільки епідеміологічні дослідження виявляють фактори ризику виникнення і прогресування цього захворювання, а клінічні дослідження відіграють важливу роль для нових методів лікування ОА, включно з пероральною, ін’єкційною та внутрішньосуглобовою терапією. Сьогодні провідні фахівці з лікування ОА продовжують дискутувати щодо корисності внутрішньосуглобових ін’єкцій (ВСІ) та доходять різних висновків. Мета дослідження: провести огляд літератури про лікування ОА колінного суглоба з аналізом інноваційних методів лікування щодо використання внутрішньосуглобових ін’єкцій (як-от: збагачена тромбоцитами плазма, терапія стовбуровими клітинами, пролотерапія, блокада генікулярного (колінного) нерва) та їх переваг і недоліків задля визначення можливих напрямків лікування, які є більш безпечними й економічно ефективними для пацієнта. Матеріали та методи. Пошук наукової інформації проведений в електронних базах PubMed, Google Scholar. Результати. У цьому огляді наведені методи лікування ОА із застосуванням внутрішньосуглобових ін’єкцій біологічно-фармакологічних засобів, як-от: збагачена тромбоцитами плазма, терапія стовбуровими клітинами та пролотерапія, блокада генікулярного нерва. Висновки. Зважаючи на мультидисциплінарний підхід, що включає біофармакологічні та немедикаментозні методи лікування ОА, внутрішньосуглобові ін’єкції можна розглядати як ефективну місцеву терапію ОА.
Показання до видалення металофіксаторів після консолідації переломів кісток (огляд літератури)
Authors: Verkhovskyi O.V.
Published: May 2023

Повне зрощення перелому й відновлення функції кінцівки не завжди означає закінчення лікування конкретної травми. Наступним етапом хірургічного втручання, як правило, є видалення внутрішніх конструкцій, за допомогою яких було здійснено остеосинтез. Медичні показання до хірургічного видалення металевих імплантатів визначені недостатньо. Серед хірургів різних країн побутують різноманітні погляди на цю проблему, показання залежать від стану пацієнта, анатомічних ділянок, імплантаційних матеріалів. Проведений аналітичний огляд джерел літератури довів, що біль, функціональні порушення, помітний металофіксатор, можливі проблеми в майбутньому і бажання пацієнтів є відносними показаннями до видалення імплантатів. Абсолютними показаннями до видалення є аваскулярний некроз головки стегнової кістки, глибока інфекція і прорізування імплантату. З огляду на наявність численних ускладнень процедура видалення може бути дуже складною, і її можна рекомендувати лише в симптоматичних пацієнтів після належної усвідомленої згоди.

Kidney health advocacy organizations and leaders in the nephrology community have repeatedly emphasized the need to increase home dialysis utilization in the United States. Limited awareness and understanding of options for the management of kidney failure among patients living with advanced CKD is a significant barrier to increasing the selection and use of home dialysis. Studies have shown that providing targeted comprehensive patient education before the onset of kidney failure can improve patients' awareness of kidney disease and substantially increase the informed utilization of home dialysis. Unfortunately, in the absence of validated evidence-based education protocols, outcomes associated with home dialysis use vary widely among published studies, potentially affecting the routine implementation and reporting of these services among patients with advanced CKD. This review provides pragmatic guidance on establishing effective patient-centered education programs to empower patients to make informed decisions about their KRT and, in turn, increase home dialysis use.
Scientificity of Psychology in the Context of Science Philosophy
Authors: Ozen Yener
Published: May 2023

Meaningfulness for the mind is being able to think, live and fight for the higher values that it knows and adopts. When the meanings we create are not produced enough, they turn into a burden over time. The only thing we can be sure of by looking at scientific advances is that we are past the point of error more and more. In this way, we hope that we have gradually reduced our old ignorance and, therefore, come closer to the truth. But knowing this does not give us any information about how far we are from reality. For much of psychology, practice is more theoretical or systematic, and psychology is public rather than private. Today’s psychology studies the human being, which we define as a social being. Much of the origins of scientific psychology are in everyday life and emerged from knowledge of such things as temperament, children’s resemblance to their parents, and the expression of emotions. It is because psychology that claims to be scientific has often progressed through practice rather than research in the name of research. In this study, the formation of modern psychology in the context of philosophy of knowledge has been taken with a critical eye.

Authors: OKOYE UCHENNA CHRISTIAN , OKHAMAFE AUGUSTINE O. , ARHEWOH MATTHEW IKHUORIA
Published: May 2023

Objective: This research was carried out to synthesize and characterize copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) using Vernonia amygdalina leaf extract and investigate the in vitro antimicrobial properties using clinical microbial isolates. Methods: The CuONPs were synthesized by heating a mixture of copper sulfate pentahydrate and V. amygdalina aqueous extract. The CuONPs were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and particle size analysis. Phytochemical analysis of V. amygdalina was carried out to determine the bio-molecules that served as a reducing agent during the synthesis of CuONPs. The antimicrobial activities of CuONPs and V. amygdalina were evaluated by the agar disc diffusion method against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Candida albicans. Ampicillin and fluconazole were used as reference antibacterial and antifungal agents, respectively. Results: The nanoparticles were in the nanometer dimension and exhibited significant antimicrobial activity (P<0.05) against the tested microbes. However, the standard antibacterial drug, ampicillin, showed higher antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli with the inhibition zone diameter of (IZD) of 13.10±0.38 mm and 11.80±0.12 mm, respectively. Fluconazole had no antifungal activity against C. albicans while V. amygdalina demonstrated good antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli but lacked antifungal activity against C. albicans. However, the combination of CuONPs and plant extract exhibited significant antifungal activity with an IZD of 10.37±0.72 mm. Conclusion: An eco-friendly, simple, reproducible, and economical CuONPs have been synthesized using V. amygdalina leaf extract. The findings indicate that CuONPs could be used as an antimicrobial agent.

Authors: Dyah Rifani Nabila , Hapsari Rebriarina , Prihatiningsih Tyas , Khumaeni Ali
Published: May 2023

Copper Oxide Nanoparticles (CuONPs) show a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against various species of microorganisms, including gram-positive and gram-negative fungi and bacteria, but in general gram-negative bacteria are more resistant to the effects of copper nanoparticle ions than gram-positive ones. In this work, synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles has been carried out using laser ablation methods and the nanoparticles were applied as antibacterial agent against gram-positive bacteria Enterococcus faecalis. Experimentally, Nanoparticle synthesis was carried out using laser ablation with a power of 40 mJ. Antibacterial test with disc diffusion test using disc paper soaked in 0.1% chitosan solution (negative control), sodium hypochlorite (positive control), and copper oxide nanoparticles with a concentration of 60 ppm, 80 ppm, 100 ppm; then put into a petri dish that has been planted with the Enterococcus faecalis bacteria. Copper oxide nanoparticles were formed in chitosan as confirmed by UV-Vis, FTIR, SEM and EDX analysis. Post Hoc Tukey HSD analysis showed a significant difference in the negative control group, and the inhibition zone diameter of the treatment group was the same. The synthesis of nanoparticles using laser ablation fired at a pure copper plate succeeded in producing copper oxide nanoparticles in chitosan solvent. The firing time affects the concentration and size of the nanoparticles. More laser energy is required to produce a smaller particle size due to its antibacterial activity.

Disrupting mechanical homeostasis promotes matrix metalloproteinase-13 mediated processing of neuron glial antigen 2 in mandibular condylar cartilage
Authors: Bagheri Varzaneh M , Zhao Y , Rozynek J , Han M , Reed DA
Published: May 2023

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ OA) is associated dysfunctional cellmatrix mediated signalling resulting from changes in the pericellular microenvironment after injury. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-13 is a critical enzyme in biomineralisation and the progression of OA that can both degrade the extracellular matrix and modify extracellular receptors. This study focused on MMP-13 mediated changes in a transmembrane proteoglycan, Neuron Glial antigen 2 (NG2/CSPG4). NG2/CSPG4 is a receptor for type VI collagen and a known substrate for MMP-13. In healthy articular layer chondrocytes, NG2/CSPG4 is membrane bound but becomes internalised during TMJ OA. The objective of this study was to determine if MMP-13 contributed to the cleavage and internalisation of NG2/CSPG4 during mechanical loading and OA progression. Using preclinical and clinical samples, it was shown that MMP-13 was present in a spatiotemporally consistent pattern with NG2/CSPG4 internalisation during TMJ OA. In vitro, it was illustrated that inhibiting MMP-13 prevented retention of the NG2/CSPG4 ectodomain in the extracellular matrix. Inhibiting MMP-13 promoted the accumulation of membrane-associated NG2/CSPG4 but did not affect the formation of mechanical-loading dependent variant specific fragments of the ectodomain. MMP- 13 mediated cleavage of NG2/CSPG4 is necessary to initiate clathrin-mediated internalisation of the NG2/ CSPG4 intracellular domain following mechanical loading. This mechanically sensitive MMP-13-NG2/CSPG4 axis affected the expression of key mineralisation and OA genes including bone morphogenetic protein 2, and parathyroid hormone-related protein. Together, these findings implicated MMP-13 mediated cleavage of NG2/CSPG4 in the mechanical homeostasis of mandibular condylar cartilage during the progression of degenerative arthropathies such as OA.

Published: May 2023

Abstract: Food that was not consumed for any reason and was left to spoil is referred to as food waste, or what should properly be called wasted food. It comprises any edible that was not consumed, such as food that was left on plates, cooked food that was thrown out, vegetable peels, bits of food that were improperly cooked, spoiled food, unsold food, or leftover food. Food waste occurs when food doesn't make it all the way through to the consumption phase. As a solution to this , our team has developed an mobile application (app) called “Food For All” that offers a universal platform where users are able to see available food resources in their neighbourhood and correspondingly gain access to food, thus addressing two significant problems, namely hunger and food waste. By decreasing hunger and food waste, respectively, this act has a positive impact on social groups, people who participate in social activities, healthcare, and the environment.

Abstract: Food is the basic need of human being which can be fulfilled by agriculture. The agriculture plays an important role in the country’s economy. However, yield of crop per acre is very low when compared to the other developing countries. Using fertilizer to provide additional nutrients to help and develop a healthy crop is a crucial aspect of agriculture. Lack of required nutrients and climate changes has given rise to many crop diseases. The very big problem in this context is to identify the crop diseases and spread the knowledge among farmers. The main purpose of this project is to provide operational and user-friendly system that recommends best profitable crop according to that instance of field, fertilizers to use, detects diseases that attacked crop and additionally provides pesticide suggestions to cure the disease. The model created using ML algorithms such as Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest allow choosing the most profitable crop and recommends the required fertilizers for the given soil. The leaves have similarities in their texture, shape, size and other visual aspects that are used to identify the disease on the given crop. The project uses Deep Learning Algorithm with Digital Image Processing to detect the disease.

Early Detection of Brain Degeneration Disease Using Deep Learning
Authors: M Prof. Vinay Kumar , R Varshitha , G Srivani , . Swapna , N T Tejashwini
Published: May 2023

Abstract: Brain Degeneration Disease (BD) – is an illness that causes memory loss and cognitive decline. It also causes irreversible brain shrinkage, ultimately resulting in death. The creation of efficient treatments for BD depends on early identification. Utilizing machine learning, a branch of artificial intelligence that enables computer systems to gain knowledge from massive and intricate data sets using a variety of statistical and optimization techniques is one promising strategy for the early detection of BD. Several studies have utilized machine learning techniques to detect BD in its early stages. However, these studies have been criticized for their validity due to factors such as the use of non-pathologically verified datasets from various imaging modalities, differences in pre-processing techniques, feature selection, and class imbalance, making it difficult to make a fair comparison between the results obtained. To address these limitations, a novel model has been developed that involves an initial pre-processing step, followed by attribute selection, and finally classification using association rule mining. This model-based approach shows promise for early diagnosis of BD and can accurately distinguish BD patients from healthy controls. The project utilizes modified versions of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) such as VGG16, AlexNet, and MobileNet, which have been adapted to suit specific research goals and objectives. By using this approach, the authors aim to provide a more reliable and robust model for the early detection of BD, ultimately leading to better outcomes for patients

Published: May 2023

The world is facing a new work environment due to COVID-19. This situation has brought about major changes in the operation of organizations, and the need and importance of new leadership is emerging, but there is a lack of research on new forms of leadership in academia as well as companies. This study aims to identify academic developments, along with analysis of research trends in the field through meta-analysis of E-leadership-related studies required for non-contact work environments, and to identify the direction and practical use of research in this field in the future. In particular, comprehensive meta-analysis among meta-analysis is a research method, that seeks to estimate with statistical power and precision, as much as possible by systematically synthesizing the results of many studies conducted in a specific field and drawing objective conclusions. In order to examine the trends of E-leadership from 2000, when E-leadership was first studied, to the present, this study focuses on 55 E-leadership studies published in academic journals, and identifies and summarizes the researcher (year), research topic, variables used, analysis types and characteristics, research methodology, limitations, published journals, and the importance and use of E-leadership research. The analysis shows that research on E-leadership has been in full swing since 2013, and since 2019, when COVID-19 was at its peak. Over the past 22 years, E-leadership has been published in a total of 46 journals, of which 4 journals have published duplicates and 42 journals have published one paper, confirming that E-leadership research is a field of interest in various academic fields, but it is not yet intensively studied in a specific field. As for research methodologies, 18 quantitative studies (32.7%) and 37 qualitative studies (67.3%) were conducted as qualitative studies, and two-thirds of the total 55 studies were qualitative studies. Through these studies, E-leadership has evolved over the past two decades in the realm of theory, research, and practice as a social impact process carried out through information technology to promote changes in organizational thinking, behavior, attitudes, and performance.

Published: May 2023

This study aims to develop a functional prebiotic nutraceutical supplement mix for geriatrics and evaluate its nutritional and sensory characteristics. Prebiotics are non-digestible food nutrients that selectively stimulate the activities of beneficial probiotic organisms in the colon and maintain intestinal microbial balance. Nutraceutical includes functional foods, dietary supplements, and medical foods. Geriatrics is a medical practice that addresses older patients' complex needs and maintains functional independence even in the presence of chronic diseases. Elderly people are at risk for macro and micronutrient deficiencies due to various social, physical, and economic obstacles. This research product aims to promote the ideal blend of grains, legumes, and nuts for elderly people and enhance their nutritional energy. Foxtail millets, oats, garlic, almonds & cashew nuts possess high prebiotic content. This study formulated ten formulations using Response Surface Method – Design Expert 12.0. The third sample (Trial 3) containing foxtail millet (25%), green pea protein isolate (10%), oats (15%) and carrot (15%), pomegranate (15%), garlic (5%), almond & cashew nut (5%), skim milk solids (10%) had the highest score for sensory attributes. The developed combination was high in nutrients and provide ample protein and energy for daily needs. Its nutritional value for 100g is of total protein (11.5%), fat (4.36), carbohydrate (67.57), vitamins, minerals, and total energy (360.17 K/Cal).
Militarização da educação e da escola no âmbito da hipermilitarização do Estado brasileiro
Authors: Fábia Alves Miriam , Santos Catarina de Almeida , Bordin Marcelo
Published: May 2023

Este artigo problematiza, a partir da análise bibliográfica, documental e dos referenciais teóricos, os processos constitutivos de uma lógica militarizada na sociedade brasileira, principalmente em espaços e processos educativos. A hipermilitarização do Estado brasileiro se traduz na ampliação da participação de militares na política, do Congresso Nacional às demais casas legislativas, sobretudo nas legislaturas de 2014-2018 e 2019-2023, em cargos executivos de primeiro, segundo e demais escalões, especialmente no governo de Bolsonaro. Na educação, a hipermilitarização se concretiza na entrega das escolas públicas para a gestão de militares, com um boom expansionista a partir de 2019 e a criação, no âmbito do Ministério da Educação, da política das escolas cívico-militares. Tais processos ameaçam a democracia, assim como a garantia do direito à educação.
aulas de educação física como espaço de ensino-aprendizagem das lutas

Published: May 2023

O ensino das lutas, por tradição, é feito por mestres e professores faixas-preta que, em sua maioria, não têm formação em Educação Física (EF) aprendem técnicas da modalidade em suas academias e transmitem para seus alunos tal como aprenderam, muitas vezes sem o devido tratamento pedagógico para os diferentes contextos e personagens destas práticas. Neste artigo, buscamos possibilitar reflexões e discussões acerca do ensino das lutas na escola, oferecendo subsídios teórico-práticos, que foram desenvolvidos baseados em uma experiência, materializada nas aulas de Educação Física (EF) do Ensino Fundamental I de uma escola particular.  Nesta pesquisa, de natureza descritiva e propositiva, utilizamos as observações, os registros produzidos e posteriormente as análises feitas a partir desses registros, para organizar objetivos de aprendizagem, entrelaçados com as competências e habilidades da BNCC em um currículo “vivo”, que possa ser ensinado por qualquer professor de EF e não apenas por aqueles com formação em artes marciais e esportes de combate.
A AVALIAÇÃO DAS APRENDIZAGENS DE ALUNOS NO ENSINO SECUNDÁRIOS GERAL POR ESTUDANTES UNIVERSITÁRIOS MOÇAMBICANOS NA ÁREA DE FORMAÇÃO
Authors: Ernesto Nelson Maurício
Published: May 2023

RESUMO: A avaliação no campo da educação é uma ação que era praticada no período da Idade Média, mas tem a sua génese formal no século XVII e assumida como parte integrante do processo de ensino-aprendizagem desde o século XIX, com o nascimento da instituição escolar. O estabelecimento de objetivos de aprendizagem, de forma evidente e concisa, é uma forma de garantir um processo da avaliação das aprendizagens com um grau de sucesso satisfatório. Neste sentido, o estudo argumenta que existe uma ligação entre a avaliação descrita no plano de aula e os de objectivos de aprendizagem preconizados nesse documento guia do processo de ensino-aprendizagem, uma vez que o processo avaliativo consiste, na essência, em validar o grau de alcance das metas, sob a forma de produtos de aprendizagem dos alunos. Esta investigação científica, essencialmente quali-quantitativa, escrutina 20 Planos de Aula produzidos por 10 estudantes universitários moçambicanos (dois planos por estudante) inscritos na cadeira de Estágio II, que desenvolveram as suas Práticas Pedagógicas na nas escolas do Ensino Secundário Geral em Maputo, no ano 2021. A principal conclusão a que estudo chega é de que os pupilos inqueridos não avaliam adequadamente as aprendizagens dos seus alunos, posto que os exercícios que compõem a avaliação fixada pelos estudantes universitários não interceptam os objectivos de aprendizagem previamente estabelecidos.
A CONSTRUÇÃO DE POLÍTICAS LINGUÍSTICAS EM PERIÓDICOS CIENTÍFICOS
Authors: Ferreira Valmeria Brito Almeida Vilela
Published: May 2023

Este artigo aborda os discursos que regulam e endossam as políticas linguísticas de periódicos na área da saúde. A pesquisa está fundamenta nos pressupostos teóricos do Círculo de Bakhtin e busca atender os seguintes objetivos i) descrever e  analisar os discursos normativos sobre as políticas linguísticas de periódicos científicos; ii)  discutir como determinados valores sobre as línguas de publicação científica  foram sendo (re) construídos nos discursos dos periódicos investigados. O corpus deste trabalho é composto por editorias  e instruções aos autores de  periódicos da área médica, publicados entre 1987 e 2020. Os resultados apontam que a busca por visibilidade internacional leva parte dos periódicos a adotar uma política monolíngue, prescrevendo o uso do inglês como a língua franca. Por outro lado, percebem-se políticas editoriais que instituem espaço para o multilinguismo e práticas de escrita científica multilín
A VOZ IMIGRANTE ESLAVA EM HELENA KOLODYVOZ IMIGRANTE ESLAVA EM HELENA KOLODY
Authors: Stefaniu Wellington

A partida, a chegada, o recomeço e a esperança do retorno fizeram do Homo Sapiens um animal que se distingue dos demais animais pelas suas características errantes. Apesar da existência de outros seres nômades, o homem é o único capaz de estabelecer laços imaginários com o seu território, os quais são repassados, no formato de nostalgia, aos seus descendentes. Dessa forma, a ideia de um sujeito imaginário que pertencia a uma pátria e criou novos laços em outro território, agregando, à sua cultura a cultura de outros povos que habitam a nova pátria, mostra-se como um paradoxo entre o pertencimento e o não-pertencimento, considerando que as nações, assumem o papel de comunidades imaginadas. Partindo desse princípio, o presente trabalho buscará elementos diaspóricos nos poemas da paranaense Helena Kolody, os quais evidenciam a mescla cultural das comunidades ucranianas estabelecidas no Brasil da metade do século XIX até o início do século XX entre a cultura eslava e a brasileira. Logo, a representação do imigrante ucraniano no Brasil abordará o hipotético surgimento de um novo sujeito, miscigenado por duas culturas, o qual cria raízes com o novo lugar sem esquecer da terra dos seus antepassados. Para tanto, serão levadas em consideração as teorias acerca da diáspora, em especial àquelas discutidas por Stuart Hall, bem como dos estudos culturais, pela voz de Terry Eagleton, os quais, somados à teoria literária, terão seu escopo voltado aos versos da escritora supracitada, em um movimento analítico e teorético.

This book Graphic art, Philosophy and Bilingualism as a result of research at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Humanities is a bet that the school of fine arts and humanities has established in order to consolidate a scenario where the research studies from the faculty are shared. This initiative started two years ago, with the creation of the event of socialization of research studies conducted by the members of the programs. This space appeared with the necessity of knowing what all the disciplines are building, and the results have been potentially published in the sense of a book with different chapters. Each chapter reports the studies that have presented in each event, which has three publications currently. In this occasion, the book is written in English as an opportunity to spread research groups production widely. This edition includes three chapters from bilingualism, philosophy and visual arts disciplines. The first chapter seeks to report a research study based on a teaching implementation in two state schools in Pereira, Colombia. This intervention has been proposed by the use of bilingual pedagogies that are part of dynamic bilingual education such translanguaging, CLIL, among others. The study reports the results of the teaching practices and the impact in students bilingual process.
Embracing Deepfakes and AI-generated images in Neuroscience Research
Authors: Becker Casey , Laycock Robin
Published: May 2023

The rise of deepfakes and AI-generated images has raised concerns
regarding their potential misuse in society. However, this commentary
highlights the valuable opportunities these technologies offer for
neuroscience research. Deepfakes provide accessible, realistic, and
customisable dynamic face stimuli, while generative adversarial networks
(GANs) can generate and modify diverse and high-quality static content.
These advancements enhance the variability and ecological validity of
research methods, and enable the creation of previously unattainable
stimuli. When AI-generated images are informed by brain responses, they
provide unique insights into the structure and function of visual
systems. The authors encourage experimental psychologists and cognitive
neuroscientists to stay informed about these emerging tools and embrace
their potential to advance visual neuroscience.
