Introduction and aim. Vitiligo is a chronic skin disease characterized by progressive loss of melanocytes. Various treatment options have been developed to manage vitiligo, however, phototherapy has emerged as one of the most effective treatment options. Therefore, this review has been written to examine the mechanisms of this particular treatment approach and its optimal implementation. Material and methods. A review of the literature regarding combination of word vitiligo with the following: psoralen ultraviolet A (PUVA), narrowband ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) and excimer laser (EL) was performed using the PubMed database. Analysis of the literature. NB-UVB has demonstrated safety and efficacy in stimulating melanocyte proliferation and melanin synthesis, making it an attractive treatment option for both localized and generalized vitiligo. PUVA therapy, combining psoralen photosensitization with UVA irradiation, has shown remarkable efficacy in repigmentation, particularly in refractory or extensive vitiligo. However, because of possible side effects, it is not recommended as a first line phototherapy. With its targeted and precise approach, EL offers a localized treatment and has produced impressive results in localized and segmented vitiligo. Conclusion. Despite limitations, phototherapy continues to evolve, offering hope for individuals with vitiligo. Further research and advancements in treatment protocols are needed.
An overview of current issues in automatic text summarization of natural language using artificial intelligence methods
Authors: Kuznietsov Oleksii , Kyselov Gennadiy
Published: September 2024

The object of the research is the task of automatic abstracting of natural language texts. The importance of these tasks is determined by the existing problem of creating essays that would adequately reflect the content of the original text and highlight key information. This task requires the ability of models to deeply analyze the context of the text, which complicates the abstracting process.
Results are presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of using generative models based on neural networks, text semantic analysis methods, and deep learning for automatic creation of abstracts. The use of models showed a high level of adequacy and informativeness of abstracts. GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) generates text that looks like it was written by a human, which makes it useful for automatic essay generation.
For example, the GPT model generates abbreviated summaries based on input text, while the BERT model is used for summarizing texts in many areas, including search engines and natural language processing. This allows for short but informative abstracts that retain the essential content of the original and provides the ability to produce high-quality abstracts that can be used for abstracting web pages, emails, social media, and other content. Compared to traditional abstracting methods, artificial intelligence provides such advantages as greater accuracy, informativeness and the ability to process large volumes of text more efficiently, which facilitates access to information and improves productivity in text processing.
Automatic abstracting of texts using artificial intelligence models allows to significantly reduce the time required for the analysis of large volumes of textual information. This is especially important in today's information environment, where the amount of available data is constantly growing. The use of these models promotes efficient use of resources and increases overall productivity in a variety of fields, including scientific research, education, business and media.
POR UMA NOVA ATITUDE NA SOCIOLOGIA DOS INTELECTUAIS E SUAS PRODUÇÕES CULTURAIS
Authors: Pedron Caio César , Roberto de Francischi Chagas Hélio
Published: September 2024

A proposta apresentada neste trabalho parte da experiência de doutoramento de dois pesquisadores – a primeira referente ao estudo sócio-biográfico da obra de Max Weber e, a segunda, sobre a recepção de Henri Lefebvre no Brasil – associados a um projeto de investigação coletiva sobre intelectuais, pensamento social e circulação das ideias sociológicas no Brasil. Partindo dessas diferentes camadas de experiência histórica, foi possível constatar a necessidade de uma articulação estabelecida entre a área da sociologia dos intelectuais, sob a hegemonia da interpretação bourdieusiana da estruturação do campo, a partir da posição social ocupada por esses agentes, e de uma sociologia da cultura interessada no significado imanente dos  artefatos intelectuais, quer sejam físicos – livros, revistas, jornais, coleções – ou estritamente simbólicos – teorias, conceitos, imagens, metáforas. A solução para a difícil correlação entre o contexto histórico-social de produção intelectual e a construção simbólico discursiva do texto, está dada por uma forma de tratamento do problema, uma atitude intelectual que interpela objeto e sujeito do conhecimento, constituindo-se como resposta mais eficaz ao dilema acima apresentado do que o contínuo movimento de produção de “novos” modelos teórico-metodológicos mais abrangentes, sintéticos ou revolucionário que os seus antepassados.

Bioaccumulation of iron (Fe) and lead (Pb) in various body tissues of Telescopium telescopium in Peninsular Malaysia: Implications for biomonitoring and sustainability
Authors: Yap Chee Kong , Al-Mutairi Khalid Awadh
Published: September 2024

Heavy metal contamination in marine environments poses a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. This study investigates the accumulation patterns of iron (Fe) and lead (Pb) in seven different body tissues (cephalic tentacle [CT], digestive caecum, foot, gill, mantle, muscle, and remaining soft tissues) of Telescopium telescopium collected from Peninsular Malaysia. Using heat map visualization and correlation analysis, we examined the relationships between Fe and Pb levels in various body tissues. High positive correlations were observed in Fe levels between the foot- CT (r = 0.86), and Pb levels between the muscle and CT (r = 0.95). Factor analysis highlighted the complex interplay of environmental and physiological factors influencing metal accumulation. Our findings underscore the importance of considering multiple tissues for accurate biomonitoring of metal pollution in marine environments, particularly in the context of sustainability and, environment, social and governance considerations.

Published: September 2024

Les médecins et infirmiers du Service de santé des armées participent, aux côtés des équipages d’aéronefs militaires, aux interventions héliportées de secours et d’aide médicale en mer s’intégrant plus largement dans les missions de « Search and Rescue ». Particulièrement au large des côtes, au cours des missions des bâtiments de la Marine nationale, l’équipe médicale militaire embarquée représente l’unique moyen de prise en charge d’une urgence maritime. Au travers d’une situation clinique vécue par l’une de ces équipes, les auteurs dressent succinctement un panorama des différents types de missions Search and Rescue puis focalisent leur réflexion sur la formation en médecine d’urgence extrahospitalière, l’adaptation aux contraintes aéro-maritimes et la dotation en matériels, prérequis indispensables permettant d’assurer une haute qualité de soins pour le patient présent dans ce milieu d’exception et plus largement au service de santé des armées de conserver sa position d’acteur incontournable dans ce domaine.
Une cuisse qui ne manque pas de ressort

Published: September 2024

La hanche à ressaut ou coxa saltans peut entrainer un ressaut significatif comme montré dans l’iconographie jointe de ce cas clinique, dû au passage brutal de la bandelette ilio-tibiale sur le grand trochanter. Il se produit aux mouvements actifs de marche en pente ou de déhanché sans test passif spécifique. Un tableau douloureux doit faire rechercher une bursite, une coxopathie (dysplasie, fracture négligée), ou une dysfonction ostéopathique dorsolombaire associée. Le diagnostic est clinique et une anomalie au cliché radiographique oriente vers un diagnostic différentiel ou intra-articulaire. L’échographie dynamique permet en général de confirmer le diagnostic et l’étiologie. Le traitement proposé peut inclure du repos, un glaçage, des anti-inflammatoires pour soulager la douleur, ainsi que de la kinésithérapie pour la bandelette ilio-tibiale et le grand fessier. En cas d’échec, une infiltration radioguidée et une IRM sont recommandées. Des indications chirurgicales existent.
Anesthésie générale et traumatismes alvéolo-dentaires
Authors: GUIGON A. , DIAKONOFF H. , DE ROCQUIGNY G.
Published: September 2024

Les traumatismes alvéolo-dentaires sont des lésions de la dent et/ou des tissus de soutien de la dent, le parodonte, provoqués par des contraintes extra-orales directes ou indirectes. Ces lésions sont de gravité variable.
S’ils surviennent dans un contexte au bloc opératoire sous anesthésie générale, ces traumatismes sont souvent dénommés « bris dentaires » et sont considérés comme des évènements indésirables, avec des répercussions fonctionnelles, esthétiques et médico-légales.
En France, les bris dentaires représentent la première cause des contentieux contre les médecins anesthésistes réanimateurs (30 à 40% des plaintes). L’objet de cet article est de faire le point sur les données récentes en matière de suspicions ou de traumatismes alvéolo-dentaires péri-anesthésiques, de préciser la conduite à tenir en cas de survenue au sein des Hôpitaux d’instruction des armées (HIA), et d’aborder les conséquences médico-légales qui y sont associées.

Dans le contexte de préparation à la guerre de haute intensité, l’Armée française a conduit l’exercice ORION 23 qui est le premier de cette ampleur depuis plus de 3 décennies via un entraînement multi-milieux et multi-champs à grande échelle. Sa deuxième phase avait comme objectif de mener une campagne aéro-maritime d’entrée de théâtre « en premier », dans un contexte de déni d’accès et de projeter l’échelon national d’urgence pour conquérir un espace de manœuvre terrestre dans un environnement contesté. Sur 19 jours de mission en terrain libre, les troupes aéroportées auront réalisé au total 860 sauts, dont 786 en ouverture automatique et 74 en ouverture retardée, avec notamment deux sauts « de masse ». On ne retrouve pas de blessé parmi les ouvertures retardées mais on décompte 17 blessés en ouverture automatique, soit 2,16% du nombre total de ces sautants. Parmi ces blessés, neuf ont été transférés dans un service d’accueil des urgences immédiatement après leur prise en charge, dont un catégorisé Alpha et un Bravo. Ces chiffres sont supérieurs à ceux que l’on retrouve lors des différents entraînements et se rapprochent de ceux retrouvés en opérations extérieures. Pour ces exercices d’une nouvelle intensité, il est important d’avoir un soutien médical réel adapté tant en qualité qu’en quantité, car ils se rapprochent en termes d’accident de parachutage à ce que l’on retrouve sur les théâtres d’opérations extérieures.

Effects of caffeine consumption on oxidative stress and inflammatory modulation
Authors: Mauricio-Cuba Kelly , Neyra-Vera Stephany , campo-Rojas Criss O , Paredes-Ramirez Dorian , Valladolid-Alzamora Juan Manuel
Published: September 2024

La cafeína es un alcaloide presente de forma natural en frutos, hojas y semillas, capaz de absorberse rápida y completamente en el tracto intestinal. Se metaboliza en los hepatocitos por acción de la enzima citocromo P450, CYP1A2, la cual da como producto a la monoxantina, sustrato para xantina oxidasa. Consumida en dosis correctas, es decir, menores a 400 mg/día, tiene diversas reacciones beneficiosas en el organismo, como la inhibición de los productos de peroxidación lipídica y reducción de especies reactivas de oxígeno (ERO), principales responsables de diversas patologías humanas. Del mismo modo, actúa sobre la modulación inflamatoria al actuar según su concentración sobre los receptores de adenosina A1 y A2a en el sistema inmune y sistema nervioso, y al reducir las especies reactivas de oxígeno, bloqueando los estímulos desencadenantes de la activación del factor nuclear potenciador de las cadenas ligeras kappa de las células B activadas (NF – kB) implicado en el proceso de apoptosis, proliferación celular e inflamación. La ingesta de cafeína se encuentra relacionada con ciertas patologías y condiciones fisiológicas, como la enfermedad de Parkinson, enfermedad de Alzheimer, hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus tipo 2, enfermedad coronaria e infarto de miocardio. Sin embargo, aunque su capacidad antioxidante y antiinflamatoria ha sido demostrada, existen investigaciones que cuestionan su relevancia al afirmar que la importancia clínica de su acción es insuficiente. De cualquier modo, la cafeína en dosis adecuadas no genera perjuicios a la salud.
Sjögren's syndrome: review of the literature of advances achieved to date
Authors: Falcón-Guerrero Britto Ebert , Falcón-Pasapera Guido Sebastian
Published: September 2024

Este mal, denominada enfermedad de Sjögren, es autoinmune crónica caracterizada por la infiltración de células inflamatorias de las glándulas salivales y lagrimales, lo que resulta en atrofia de células epiteliales acinares, muerte celular y pérdida de la función exocrina; y las mujeres tienen nueve veces más probabilidades que los hombres de verse afectadas por esta afección, pudiendo obtenerse reacciones sistémicas, que involucran prácticamente cualquier sistema de órganos. La patogénesis es siempre difícil de lograr; pero el diagnóstico se basa en signos y síntomas clínicos característicos y autoanticuerpos. Esta preocupación es la que lleva a realizar una revisión de la literatura en revistas de PLOS ONE, PUBMED y GOOGLE SCHOLAR. El propósito de este artículo de revisión es resumir la literatura reciente sobre el síndrome de Sjögren, desde su patogénesis hasta las opciones de tratamiento actuales.

El sarcoma de mama (SM) es un cáncer poco común que afecta el tejido conjuntivo de la mama. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 47 años con un tumor en la mama derecha diagnosticado inicialmente como sarcoma por medio de biopsia, pero al momento de realizar la mastectomía, el análisis patológico de la pieza operatoria reportó carcinoma, debido a ello se le extirpó los ganglios axilares, que posteriormente fue corregido a sarcoma mediante estudios inmunohistoquímicos. La paciente fue sometida a mastectomía total y resección ganglionar axilar, seguida de quimioterapia. La necrosis tumoral, indicativa de un tumor agresivo, complicó el manejo quirúrgico. La discordancia en el diagnóstico subraya la importancia de técnicas avanzadas para una conclusión precisa y un tratamiento oportuno. A pesar de la dimensión del tumor y la agresividad del sarcoma, la paciente no presentó recurrencia en el seguimiento post-tratamiento. Este caso destaca la necesidad de comunicación efectiva entre profesionales de la salud, la revisión exhaustiva de resultados patológicos y el enfoque multidisciplinario en el abordaje del sarcoma de mama.

Published: September 2024

The phenomenon of writer’s block has emerged as a significant concern within the realm of academic writing and publication, particularly in higher education. In Indonesia, many English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners perceive academic writing as a complex talent that instills a sense of fear or apprehension. This phenomenon can induce writer’s block among students. Previous research has indicated that students’ beliefs and various other elements can influence the occurrence of writer’s block. Nevertheless, how these circumstances affect writer’s block remains a significant query for academics and educational practitioners. Hence, using structural equation modeling method, this study aims to investigate several constructs contributing to writer’s block, including students’ attitudes toward reading, academic stress, mental resilience, self-perceived writing abilities, and proficiency in academic writing. A questionnaire was administered to 280 participants to investigate the issue. The data was subsequently analyzed using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate a statistically significant interplay correlation between the constructs. In conclusion, this study provides robust statistical evidence of the model of the constructs, validates all ten hypotheses, and underscores the complex interplay of these factors in the context of academic writing. Most notably, the study reveals that academic writing competence exerts the most substantial positive impact on writer's block (β = 0.619; t = 14.571), highlighting the critical role of enhancing writing skills in mitigating writer's block among students. Educational practitioners may utilize this study’s findings to address the issue of writer’s block, specifically among students in higher education.
“Education is a business” : Lexical cohesion of the public opinions in response to the Indonesian Job Creation Law
Authors: Purnama Ridwan , Sukyadi Didi , Budimansyah Dasim , Nugraha Restu Adi
Published: September 2024

Lexical choices in a law text contribute to the creation of discourse. The issuance of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation Law in Indonesia has resulted in a controversial public discussion concerning questionable educational practices in Indonesia. This study attempted to investigate the accumulated ideas that depict a represented discourse by exploring cohesive devices used in public interpretation regarding the impacts of the inclusion of Article 65 on education policy and practices according to the Job Creation Law. The data were garnered online from public figures’ opinions shared in the Academic Association, Legal Aid Agency, Taman Siswa Family’s Association, Indonesian Teacher Union, Ma’arif Nahdlatul Ulama, and Education Observer Group. The collected interpretation was analyzed by identifying how lexical features were used in the interpretation to construct ideas. The analysis indicates that the public figures’ interpretation shared a common conception that the Job Creation Law intended to construct. The law signals the idea of administering education as a business, potentially affecting the uncontrolled establishments of associations and foundations that administer education in Indonesia. The public interpretation suggests that the Job Creation Law put aside the term “service” that the government should facilitate in the administration of education.
A prosodic analysis of emotional expressions in Langkat Malay speech
Authors: Erwina Emmy
Published: September 2024

Emotional prosody is the paralinguistic elements of language that interact with verbal content to express emotion. It also demonstrates the complex relationship between voice expression and emotional experience, highlighting the depth to which humans can express complex emotions beyond words. This qualitative study investigated the prosodic features associated with the emotional expression of anger in Langkat Malay speech. It focused on variations in pitch, loudness, and tempo among speakers from different socio-economic backgrounds. The aims are to explain how emotions are encoded in speech; and to highlight the influence of cultural and social contexts on emotional expression through prosody. This study employed a qualitative method. The data were collected from 40 native Langkat Malay speakers, divided evenly between individuals from the nobility and the general populace, encompassing a range of ages from 20 to 50 years. The samples were collected, processed, and analyzed using Praat software. The study then looked at the prosodic aspects of emotional speech in terms of its acoustic characteristics. The results showed that louder, faster tempos, and higher pitches are used to indicate anger. The study also found differences between the socioeconomic classes, with the nobles exhibiting more intense and intricate pitch contours in their angry reactions than the ordinary public. It can be concluded that within the Langkat Malay group, cultural and socioeconomic influences modulate prosodic aspects of emotional manifestation. This study is expected to disclose implications for speech therapy, language instruction, and the creation of emotionally intelligent artificial intelligence systems. It will also likely highlight the significance of taking cultural differences into account when studying emotional prosody.
Voices Unheard: Exploring female representation in Sundanese folk stories through transitivity and semantic code
Authors: Tanusy Jeanyfer , Sujatna Eva Tuckyta Sari , Yuliawati Susi , Tanto Trisnowati
Published: September 2024

Folk stories provide a valuable insight into the cultural values and lifestyle of a society, as has been proven by a lot of previous research. However, most research on folk stories focus only on the morals and/or traditions in the stories. Linguistic studies on folk stories have also only focused on the surface text; not much research has been done to reveal the underlying messages on how the text perceived females and their roles in society. This study aims to reveal female representation in two popular Sundanese folk stories, “Sasakala Talaga Warna” (“The Legend of the Lake of Color”) and “Sasakala Sangkuriang” (“The Legend of Sangkuriang”), using Halliday’s transitivity analysis and Barthes’ semantic code. It combines transitivity analysis, focusing on participant roles in material processes, with an analysis of semantic codes. The findings reveal that female characters are positioned as agents in material processes, suggesting agency and power. Their representation in the stories is revealed through the semantic code—the code of connotation shows how their agency is limited to domestic settings or in conjunction with male characters. This means that the agency represents traditional female roles and power dynamics. Therefore, it perpetuates female stereotypes. This study contributes to the literature by providing an in-depth analysis of the Sundanese folk stories’ representation of female characters, which has been largely overlooked in previous research.

The importance of the role of electrical energy at this time cannot be denied and it is difficult to imagine how life would be without electricity, not only as a source of light at night in Cilegon City because it is rich in resources, especially in the industrial sector. Therefore, the existence of a guaranteed power supply is very important. PT Krakatau Daya Listrik, as the main provider and distributor of electrical energy in the KIEC Area (Krakatau Industrial Estate Cilegon), indirectly becomes the backbone for the economy of the people in the trading area of PT Krakatau Daya Listrik. The method used in making predictions is the linear regression method which is a method to test how accurate the relationship between x and y is. In addition, to do forecasting or similarity testing, use Google Colab. The results of the two show a correlation coefficient of 0.4 which is enough to have a relationship between x and y, the more years the more power or electrical energy is needed. This is very relevant considering that electrical energy has become a necessity, so this forecast can help electricity service providers to meet consumer needs.

Published: September 2024

En la presente revisión narrativa, se llevó a cabo un rastreo en bases de datos de artículos científicos entre 1944 y 2021, con el fin de explorar la transformación en la elaboración del duelo desde su vivencia y la importancia que tienen las redes sociales en ese proceso. En los albores del siglo XXI la digitalización de la vida cotidiana ha llevado a que los rituales que originalmente acompañaban el proceso del duelo se vieran mediatizados por la web 2.0, en donde las interacciones por medio de redes sociales intervienen de manera significativa, creando comunidades virtuales, para ayudarse mutuamente a través de estos medios. A partir de esta perspectiva se encontró necesaria más profundización en la relación entre el uso de redes sociales y la elaboración del duelo, el diseño y la ejecución de formas de investigación que permitan dar cuenta de las dinámicas, las ventajas y las desventajas de dicha utilización.
CHATGPT POTENTIAL TO SELECT TECHNOLOGY IN RAPID PROTOTYPING OF CYBER-PHYSICAL SYSTEM
Authors: Apeināns Ilmārs , Sondors Marks , Zeps Daniēls , Zarembo Imants , Kodors Sergejs
Published: September 2024

It is a common task to select optimal technologies for a prototype implementation. If a prototype of a cyber-physical system is developed, it is required to select suitable components, devices and software development tools, which are compatible with each other. Traditionally, the market analysis is conducted reviewing components, searching for a trade-off combination which are optimal for the prototype implementation. That is a sufficiently time consuming process. Additionally, the market changes are relatively fast. Therefore, the search must be repeated periodically. We propose the hypothesis that ChatGPT can help in market analysis to select optimal components in the rapid prototyping tasks. To evaluate our hypothesis, each author tried to find an optimal solution considering his specialization or interest field. Based on the obtained experience, the Delphi method was applied to collect expert opinions to gain consensus, which is presented in this article.

Published: September 2024

Con el objetivo de describir las tasas de incidencia por cada 100 000 habitantes de los casos de enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos (ETA) durante el periodo 2015-2020 en Ecuador se realizó un análisis secundario de los registros de vigilancia epidemiológica y de las proyecciones poblacionales del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Censos. Se reportaron 113 695 casos con una incidencia superior a los 100 casos por cada 100 000 habitantes (2015-2019). En el 2020 los registros son considerablemente inferiores a los reportes de años anteriores. La mayoría de los casos se reportaron como «otras intoxicaciones alimentarias». Las tasas de incidencia de ETA más altas se observaron en la región amazónica. En general existe una marcada variabilidad anual en la incidencia de las ETA según las regiones geográficas del Ecuador. En conclusión, las ETA  representan un problema de salud pública en el Ecuador. Se deben diseñar estrategias preventivas integrales con especial énfasis en la región amazónica.

Published: September 2024

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el nivel de conocimiento sobre enfermedades cardiovasculares en personas en un centro de salud del primer nivel de atención en salud (PNAS). Se realizó un estudio  descriptivo y transversal mediante una encuesta a personas que asistieron a un establecimiento de salud del PNAS en Lima, Perú. Un puntaje menor a 6 se consideró como conocimiento inadecuado. Se encuestó  a 400 personas, 66,3% mujeres, de 46,8 ± 16,2 años. La nota promedio fue de 4,52 +/- 1,85. El 71% de los encuestados tuvo un nivel de conocimiento inadecuado, independientemente de la edad, género o grado deinstrucción. Nuestros hallazgos muestran que el nivel de conocimiento sobre los factores de riesgo y la  enfermedad cardiovascular resultó inadecuado en la población en atención primaria. Es necesario lograr unaeducación específica en factores de riesgo cardiovascular, para reducir el impacto de estas  enfermedades.
Ontologia Lukácsiana e o Trabalho Educativo
Authors: Bedim Milena Pellissari , Rossi Rafael
Published: September 2024

Este artigo se fundamenta na reflexão de Lukács sobre o trabalho, enquanto categoria fundante do ser social e que contribui para o desenvolvimento das demais dimensões da vida humana, como educação, ciência, política, direito, arte. Reflete, assim, sobre o processo educativo por meio desta perspectiva realista ontológica do trabalho, ou seja, o trabalho e o seu caráter humanizador. Considerando o trabalho educativo como o ato da aquisição e da transmissão intencional dos conhecimentos produzidos, historicamente e coletivamente, pelos homens, entende-se que é na escola que se desenvolve esse processo de socialização do conhecimento elaborado. Deixa-se claro que trabalho e educação são dimensões fundantes e humanizadoras do homem e que o ensino promove, de fato, o desenvolvimento psíquico quando prima pela eleição de conteúdos advindos das objetivações humano-genéricas para si, ou seja, conhecimentos obtidos pela atividade histórica do gênero humano, contendo um processo específico de transmissão e aprendizagem e criando vínculos com os conteúdos escolares. Explicita-se, assim, quatro importantes lições da ontologia lukácsiana para o trabalho educativo: a relação entre trabalho e totalidade; o fato de a teleologia apenas existir em ações individuais e não no movimento histórico; a relação entre consciência e objetividade e a importância da perspectiva humanista, a partir da análise contraditória da educação na sociedade atual.

AbstractThis article is based on Lukács' reflection on work as a founding category of social being and which contributes to the development of other dimensions of human life, such as education, science, politics, law, art. It therefore reflects on the educational process through this ontological realistic perspective of work, that is, work and its humanizing character. Considering educational work as the act of acquisition and intentional transmission of knowledge produced historically and collectively by men, we understand that it is at school that this process of socialization of elaborated knowledge develops. We make it clear that work and education are fundamental and humanizing dimensions of man and that teaching, in fact, promotes psychic development when it focuses on the election of contents arising from human-generic objectifications for oneself, that is, knowledge obtained through historical activity of the human race, containing a specific process of transmission and learning and creating links with school content. We thus explain four important lessons from Lukácsian ontology for educational work: the relationship between work and totality; the fact that teleology only exists in individual actions and not in historical movement; the relationship between consciousness and objectivity and the importance of the humanistic perspective based on the contradictory analysis of education in today's society.

Authors: Oliveira Rafaela Reis Azevedo de , Barbosa Brayon Marques
Published: September 2024

Após uma tramitação aligeirada, foi promulgada a Reforma do Novo Ensino Médio, em 2017, e a Base Nacional Comum Curricular do Ensino Médio, em 2018. Mesmo com dúvidas e questionamentos, por parte de diferentes atores sociais, as redes de ensino de todo o Brasil tiveram de se adaptar e organizar seu próprio currículo regional e a implementação da política. Em Minas Gerais, seguindo a Portaria Ministerial nº 521/21, a Secretaria Estadual de Educação determinou que todas as redes de ensino do estado implantassem, de maneira gradual, a partir de 2022, as mudanças curriculares previstas neste arcabouço legislativo. Este trabalho tem como objetivo analisar o processo de implementação da Reforma do Novo Ensino Médio pelas redes estadual, federal e privada de Juiz de Fora - MG. Para atingir este objetivo se optou por constituir esta investigação como uma pesquisa básica, de análise qualitativa, de caráter explicativo e comparativo, que se insere na categoria de pesquisa documental e de campo, realizada entre os anos de 2020 e 2023. A análise deste processo possibilitou a conclusão de que a Reforma vem sendo implementada de maneira distinta nas diferentes redes de ensino, o que contribuiu com a manutenção e ampliação das desigualdades educacionais, além de indicar falhas na execução desta política pública.

AbstractAfter an expedited processing, the Reform of the New High School was promulgated in 2017, and it was followed by the National Common Curricular Base for High School in 2018. Even with doubts and questions from various social actors, educational networks throughout Brazil had to adapt and organize their own regional curriculum and the policy implementation. In Minas Gerais, following ministerial ordinance no. 521/21, the State Department of Education determined that all educational networks in the state should gradually implement the curricular changes outlined in this legislative structure, starting in 2022. This study aims to analyze the process of implementing the Reform of the New High School by the state, federal, and private schools in Juiz de Fora, MG. To achieve this objective, it was chosen to build this investigation as a basic research, with qualitative, explanatory and comparative analysis, inserted into the categories of documentary and field research, developed between the years 2020 and 2023. The analysis of this process led to the conclusion that the reform is being implemented differently in the various educational networks, which has contributed to the perpetuation and widening of educational inequalities, as well as indicating flaws in the execution of this public policy.
