Anomia de pesquisadores no compartilhamento de dados
Authors: Monteiro Elizabete Cristina de Souza de Aguiar , Sant'Ana Ricardo César Gonçalves
Published: November 2022

O compartilhamento de dados é prática corrente em algumas disciplinas, enquanto em outras é particularmente crítico, dependendo de fatores como comportamento individual dos pesquisadores ou da cultura disciplinar. A anomia no compartilhamento dos dados pode ocorrer quando os conjuntos de valores culturais que governam a conduta dos pesquisadores e as metas institucionais encontram-se em desequilíbrio, pendendo para uma maior relevância dos valores culturais ou interesses particulares em relação às metas institucionais. Assim, os indivíduos percebem-se em desconformidade com que as instituições requerem e praticam condutas desviantes, ocorrendo uma possível retenção dos dados. O objetivo foi identificar e discutir fatores que podem instaurar um estado de anomia em pesquisadores no processo de compartilhamento de dados apresentando um framework com os fatores identificados. A coleta ocorreu por meio da triangulação com a aplicação de questionário, entrevista estruturada e análise documental. Com a análise documental foi apresentado um framework com treze índices, baseado nas estruturas teóricas, Teoria Institucional de W. Richard Scott, na Teoria do Comportamento Planejado de Icek Ajzen e no modelo de pesquisa de comportamento de compartilhamento de dados em repositório de dados proposto de Youngseek Kim. Conclui-se que a anomia está relacionada a fatores como falta de clareza das leis e normativas, desequilíbrio entre metas institucionais e os caminhos para atingi-las, descumprimento de regras e negação da moral.

Inovação em segurança pública
Authors: Nunes Carlos Francisco Oliveira , Biz Alexandre Augusto , Freire Patrícia de Sá , Teixeira Clarissa Stefani , Rigo João André
Published: November 2022

Segurança pública é tema complexo que compreende diversas linguagens, atores e disciplinas. Ela é interpretada a partir de múltiplos paradigmas e sob distintas abordagens, que influenciam desde as etapas mais abstratas de conceituação e percepção da insegurança, até fases de dissenso acerca das propostas concretas para seu enfrentamento e controle. Cada vez mais, governança pública, academia, iniciativa privada, sociedade civil articulam-se, em rede, para tratar deste assunto que repercute nos direitos humanos mais fundamentais. Essa multiplicidade de olhares precisa ser cuidadosamente compreendida e sintetizada. Por essa razão, desenvolve-se o presente estudo que objetiva traçar o quadro geral do conhecimento científico publicado acerca da inovação em segurança pública. Trata-se de estudo descritivo, de abordagem quantitativa e do tipo revisão bibliométrica. Foram analisadas 261 publicações, sem filtro de tempo, espaço ou linguagem, encontradas na base de dados da Scopus, a partir da sintaxe: (“Public Security” or “Public Safety”) and Innovation. Os resultados evidenciam que há dois fortes movimentos, não dicotômicos, sendo desenvolvidos, em concomitância, na área de segurança pública: o primeiro, mais disciplinar, tem enfoque no desenvolvimento de tecnologias e na gestão da informação; o segundo, com enfoque mais transdisciplinar, trata, sobretudo, de ocupação territorial inteligente. De forma mais específica, identificou-se cinco eixos temáticos nos artigos: tecnologias, ocupação territorial, aplicação da lei, administração e saúde. Outro ponto, percebido, ao se medir os fluxos de comunicação, foi a constatação que as redes internacionais de colaboração entre pesquisadores ainda são efêmeras, o que pode sugerir carência no amadurecimento das redes de aprendizagem.
Fundo ou coleção?
Authors: Fukuhara Rodrigo , Troitiño Sonia
Published: November 2022

Objetiva-se discutir sobre o dualismo existente entre os conceitos de fundo e coleção, quase sempre concebidos, respectivamente, como conjunto orgânico e conjunto artificial de documentos. A discussão inevitavelmente remete ao Princípio do Respeito aos Fundos e/ou ao Princípio da Proveniência, a depender da compreensão de cada autor. Por meio de abordagem qualitativa, o estudo revisa a literatura arquivística em busca de definições e nuances para os dois tipos de conjuntos documentais. Com frequência, constata-se que a categorização tradicional se mostra problemática, gerando dúvidas em relação aos elementos essenciais que determinam a natureza do conjunto. A partir das reflexões de Geoffrey Yeo, apresenta-se um olhar alternativo a respeito do dualismo fundo-coleção. As concepções de fundo conceitual e coleção física, propostas por Yeo, permitem uma abordagem de continuum e abrem perspectivas para o tratamento de fundos dispersos ou misturados, documentos com múltiplas proveniências e conjuntos de organicidade questionável.
PRODUKSI N-ASETILGLUKOSAMIN DARI KITIN KULIT UDANG DENGAN FERMENTASI MENGGUNAKAN Salmonella enterica STRAIN LT2 [PRODUCTION OF N-ACETYLGLUCOSAMINE FROM SHRIMP SHELLS’ CHITIN BY FERMENTATION USING Salmonella enterica STRAIN LT2]
Authors: Halim Yuniwaty , Soedirga Lucia Crysanthy , Michelle Valentina
Published: November 2022

Chitin is found abundantly in shrimp shells and can be converted into N-acetylglucosamine, which has a wide range of uses in the biomedical and industrial fields. Chitin can be produced using chitinase produced by bacteria through the fermentation process. Salmonella enterica strain LT2 was one of the chitinolytic bacteria that was isolated from shrimp shells. This research aimed to determine the best pH (5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) and temperature (32oC, 37oC, and 42oC) of fermentation, as well as fermentation time (2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 days) for the production of N-acetylglucosamine using the S. enterica strain LT2. Results showed that the highest production of N-acetylglucosamine occurred at the temperature of 37oC, pH of 8, and 4 days of fermentation, which produced 69.62 ± 1.00 g/L of N-acetylglucosamine. Furthermore, the highest N-acetylglucosamine production for the fermentation time occurred on the third day which produced 73.19 ± 1.63 g/L of N-acetylglucosamine.

Welke aanpak voor de Nederlandse vertaling van Poolse auditieve verba sentiendi?
Authors: Waterlot Muriel
Published: November 2022

When translating verbs from auditory perception, the translator often limits himself to a semantic and syntactic analysis of the predicates in a sentence. However, there is also an enunciative dimension (i.e. the relationship between the speaker and the subject of auditory perception) to be taken into account. Linguists divide the verbs of auditory perception into two groups according to cognitive criteria: verbs of passive and active perception. In Polish, many auditory perception verbs have a prefi x. In this article, we analyse how Polish passive auditory perception verbs and active auditory perception verbs are to be translated into Dutch.
Mijn herinneringen aan Professor Ludwik Zabrocki (1907–1977)
Authors: Morciniec Norbert
Published: November 2022

Professor Ludwik Zabrocki (1907–1977), an eminent Polish linguist, was an inspiration in linguistic research on Germanic languages for a young scholar from Wrocław. At the end of the 50’s of the 20th century, Norbert Morciniec took part in scientific meetings in Poznań, where Zabrocki had worked on a holistic approach of Polish research on Germanic languages. The young MA then started to develop studies on the Dutch language. That resulted in establishing a language course, then a specialisation of Dutch within the Germanic studies. New books about Dutch language and literature were written, a scientific journal was established, finally an autonomous Chair for Dutch at the University of Wrocław was created. Today this Chair employs numerous researchers who have further developed the Dutch studies and who are educating numerous students in this field. The text ends with a wish to the pupils of the author, today themselves professors: that they, too, do open new horizons for their pupils.
Narratie en synthese – een praktisch probleem voor de lezing van literatuurgeschiedenis. Casus: Morciniec
Authors: Borowski Andrzej
Published: November 2022

Two models of writing a companion to the history of Dutch literature for Non-Dutch readers are discussed here: a ‘narrative synthesis’ vs. a broader ‘study of cultural history’. They both take here into account the Renaissance perspective. The impulse for the article is a book by Norbert Morciniec, Historia literatury niderlandzkiej do końca 19. wieku (History of Dutch literature till the end of the 19th century), published in 2019. This book is compared both with a former book of Dorota & Norbert Morciniec from 1985, Historia literatury niderlandzkiej (History of Dutch Literature) and the large two-volume history of the literature from the Low Countries, Widzę rzeki szerokie… (I see broad rivers…) from 2018, edited by Jerzy Koch & Piotr Oczko. The situation in 1985 and that in 2018/19 are defi nitely varied: not many translations of Dutch literature into Polish at the beginning, and no academic centres… Today it is not so: thanks to the pioneering work of Norbert Morciniec.
“Benigna” im nebelhaften Gnadental/Genadendal
Authors: Koch Jerzy
Published: November 2022

This article analyses the reception of the book Benigna van Groenekloof of Mamre (1873) in South African literary and historical compendiums and scientific articles, and is an attempt to determine its genre. This anonymous publication has been frequently – and incorrectly – presented as the oldest book in Afrikaans written by an author of colour. This contribution rectifies this misconception: discussing Benigna against its historical background, it introduces the text’s actual author as well specifies its language. Moreover, the article postulates that more attention in the history of South African literature should be paid to the religious literature of the Moravian Brethren.

Conhecimento sobre as boas práticas de assistência ao parto de puérperas atendidas em um hospital de ensino
Authors: Neves Beatriz Gigante , Sanfelice Clara Fróes de Oliveira
Published: November 2022

Introdução: As boas práticas de assistência ao parto e nascimento da Organização Mundial da Saúde (2018) são fundamentadas pelas evidências científicas disponíveis na atualidade e favorecem o cuidado seguro, fisiológico e respeitoso à parturiente e ao recém-nascido. No entanto, por mais que a implementação desta nos serviços de saúde esteja condicionada às mudanças estruturais e culturais de assistência ao parto, considera-se que seu conhecimento, por parte das gestantes, no período pré-natal, representa uma importante estratégia para o seu fortalecimento e consequente implantação, gerando subsídios para suas escolhas e decisões. Objetivo: Investigar o conhecimento adquirido no pré-natal sobre as boas práticas de assistência o parto de puérperas atendidas em um hospital escola. Método: Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório e de abordagem quantitativa. Participaram do estudo 242 puérperas internadas no Alojamento Conjunto do Hospital Estadual Sumaré, que responderam um questionário sociodemográfico e obstétrico, e um instrumento do tipo checklist, composto por 19 itens correspondentes às boas práticas de atenção ao parto recomendadas na atualidade. Para cada item do checklist a puérpera quantificou, em uma escala de 0 à 3, a quantidade de informação recebida sobre o tema durante o pré-natal (nenhuma, pouca, suficiente ou muita informação). A pesquisa foi aprovada pelo Comitê de Ética da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (CAAE: 48773321.4.0000.5404). Resultados: A análise dos dados mostrou dados preocupantes, uma vez que para todos os itens avaliados, a categoria “nenhuma informação” foi maior. Esta é uma informação relevante e que denota uma importante lacuna no processo educativo realizado na assistência pré-natal. Conclusão: Entende-se que qualificar o processo educativo no atendimento pré-natal é uma das principais estratégias para proporcionar o protagonismo e a autonomia das mulheres no momento do parto, além de ser uma prática fundamental do cuidado integral.

Reading Anxiety Among Junior High School Students in Mataram: A Survey Study
Authors: Kharismanto Arif Nugroho , Farani Rizki
Published: November 2022

This study aims to identify reading anxiety among junior high school students. The research design employed a quantitative approach in the form of a survey study. There were 80 respondents who were willing to participate in this study. The respondents were students from one of junior high schools in Mataram, Indonesia.  All respondents were students from grades 8 and 9. To collect the data, this study adapted a questionnaire from Ahmad et.al. (2013) which consists of five domains of reading anxiety, i.e., (1) lack of vocabulary, (2) unfamiliar topic, (3) unfamiliar culture, (4) afraid of making errors, and (5) worry about reading effects. Based on the results, the statement with the highest score is “I enjoy reading a text in English text in English when I know its translation” (M=4.15; SD=.730). Meanwhile, the statement with the lowest score is “In reading aloud in the class I do not understand the text even though it is easy” (M=3.00; SD=1.055). The data imply that the most significant factor in students’ reading anxiety is lack of vocabulary and the least factor is worrying about reading effects.
Fikih Perempuan Progresif
Authors: Fadhilah Eva , Yusdani
Published: November 2022

Sampai saat ini posisi perempuan dalam panggung sejarah masih minor dan dipandang negatif  oleh  struktur  agama, budaya,  praktek,  dan  peradaban. Banyak kalangan yang menyebutkan bahwa perempuan adalah makhluk yang lemah baik secara fisik maupun psikis. Anggapan itu kemudian diwariskan secara turun-temurun pada anak cucu yang menyebabkan pelabelan dan perlakuan tertentu bagi perempuan. Sehingga citra perempuan, dengan berbagai aspek negatifnya, mendarah daging seiring dengan sejarah manusia dan kemanusiaan itu sendiri. Penelitian ini bermaksud mengkaji pandangan Fikih terhadap eksistensi dan hak-hak perempuan khususnya di era modern dengan terlebih dahulu memahami fikih sebagai produk ilmu yang bersifat relative sehingga terbuka ruang diskusi yang luas terhadap fikih itu sendiri. Metodologi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deksriptif kualitatif dengan tujuan mengangkat pentingnya perumusan ulang sejumlah hokum dalam fikih  terkait hak-hak perempuan. Pendekatan progresif yang digunakan meliputi pendekatan normative, sosiologis, dan historis. Hal ini penting dilakukan guna mendapatkan hasil yang seobyektif mungkin terkait hukum fikih kontemporer terhadap hak perempuan. Hasil dari penelitian ini membuktikan bahwa Islam adalah agama rahmah (QS.Al-Anbiya’:107) yang tidak pernah mendiskriminasi kaum perempuan. Fikih dalam kapasitasnya sebagai produk ilmu bisa terus dikaji dalam rangka memenuhi hajat masyarakat khususnya hak-hak kaum perempuan yang selama ini masih sering dinafikan. Fikih Perempuan progresif hadir sebagai upaya pemenuhan dari hak-hak yang selama ini tidak didapatkan kaum perempuan.

Published: November 2022

Mitochondrial dysregulation is implicated in numerous neurological disorders. Mitochondrial dynamics, including biogenesis, fusion and fission, are essential components of mitostasis which is modulated by complex regulatory mechanisms. Although expression studies are often used to investigate mitochondrial dynamics, these studies may be limited by the interdependent and temporal nature of mitostasis. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and cryogenic preparation methods provide a direct approach to examine mitochondrial ultrastructure in neurons. We investigated the utility of TEM to visualize mitochondrial morphological changes in SH-SY5Y cells treated with propionic acid (PPA). We examined whether morphological alterations were associated with differences in membrane potential or expression of biogenesis, fusion and fission genes. PPA induced a significant decrease in mitochondrial area (p<0.01 5mM), Feret's diameter and perimeter (p<0.05 5mM), and in area2 (p<0.05 3mM, p<0.01 5mM) – consistent with a shift towards fission. Morphological changes were not associated with significant differences in mitochondrial membrane potential. However, we observed decreased gene expression of NRF1 (p<0.01), TFAM (p<0.05), and STOML2 (p<0.0001). These data support a disruption of the balance in dynamics to preserve function under stress. This demonstrates the utility of TEM to provide insight into mitochondrial dynamics and function which can inform targeted mechanistic investigations into neuropathology.

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an emerging disease that has continued from 2019 to the present. It has affected every country both major and minor pictures. Therefore, effective management reflecting the lessons learned is necessary and urgent for the management. Disaster management consists of three key periods including the mitigation and preparedness phase, response phase, and recovery and rehabilitation phase through clear-fast-safe and build-back-better concepts. Innovation by new application is one of the important tools in such issue. Previous research was found to paying attention only to recording the number of infected cases, resources, and basic self-care. Severe epidemic situations make a service place an inadequate healthcare provider. Therefore, disaster management that encourage infected people to manage themselves is essential. The research team developed tele health self-management (THSM) as a medium for communication of management and self-care guidelines during stay at home isolation and awaiting hospitalization. A proposed guideline is expected to supporting the caring of patients with COVID-19 and providing effective self-management services, reduce the loss rate, and improve the quality of life during infection.

Locally known as dzuds, extreme winter weather events that are believed to arise from the interaction of hydrometeorological and climate drivers and socioeconomic forces have become increasingly frequent in Mongolia in the past few decades. As they cut off access to forage, these extreme events are associated with mass livestock deaths. Since the socioeconomic changes in the 1990s, and due to climate change, Mongolia has weathered major dzuds in 1999–2000, 2000–2001, 2001–2002, and 2009–2010. They wiped out about 4 million (11.6%), 5 million (18.5%), 3 million (12.3%), and 10 million (22%) heads of livestock, respectively. As a result, the country has been facing the challenge of examining these complex phenomena, finding ways to reduce their risk, and building resilience against them. This study adopts a systems approach to review key research and trace the occurrence of dzuds in Mongolia, understand why measures to reduce their risk have failed, and what can be done to fix this. Specifically, we focus on two dzud events that occurred 10 years apart in 1999–2000 and 2009–2010 and examine the effectiveness of social responses and countermeasures taken to tackle them. We find that a lack of accountability mechanisms and failure to treat dzud as a systemic issue have hindered efforts to reduce risk and minimize mortality. Our findings highlight the need for inclusive, integrated, and accountable handling of dzuds.

Published: November 2022

This research aims to analyze the influence of qualitative teaching and quantitative pursuit on understanding the concept of motion Newton Student of Science Education Study Program of FMIPA UNM. The main objectives of this study were to obtain information: 1) the characteristics of pretest and post-test results of understanding of Newton’s motion concepts of students following qualitative teaching, 2) characteristics of pretest and post-test results of understanding of Newton’s motion concepts of students following quantitative teaching, 3) student activities, and 4) a significant difference understanding of Newton’s motion concepts of students who follow qualitative teaching and who follow quantitative teaching. The research method used is mixed. The embedded experimental model, the population of 100 student’s odd semester of 2019/2020 divided into group A of 50 students and group B of as many as 50 students. The techniques used for data collection were interviews and tests, and the data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the study were found in group A: 1) initial understanding of Newton’s concept based on Aristotelian’s theory of 30 students (60 percent), Impetus 15 students (30 percent), and Newton’s five students (10 percent). The post-test result of understanding Newton’s concept of motion is based on the theory of Aristotle for one student (2 percent), impetus’s theory for four students (8 percent), and Newton’s theory for 45 students (90 percent). In group B: 2) early understanding of Newton’s motion concept based on Aristotelian theory for 35 students (70 percent), Impetus theory for ten students (20 percent), and Newton’s theory for five students (10 percent). The post-test result of understanding Newton’s concept of motion based on the theory of Aristotle for five students (10 percent), Impetus theory for 35 students (70 percent), and Newton’s theory for ten students (20 percent); 3) student activity in following learning included in the high category, and 4) There is a significant difference understanding of Newton motion concept of students who follow qualitative teaching and who follow quantitative teaching. The study found that strict mathematical formulations do not foster the ability to comprehend the physical concept qualitatively. Students are generally only interested in solving physics problems that are manipulating numbers and equations. They are not passionate about the qualitative aspects of mathematical formulations.

The study results show that the e-module ethnophysics have validly improved students’ critical thinking skills. This is shown by the results of validity, practicality, and effectiveness of e-module ethnophysics towards critical thinking during the Covid-19 pandemic.
LA GEOLOGÍA VERSUS EL DOGMA CLIMÁTICO (1ª PARTE)
Authors: Ortega Gironés Enrique
Published: November 2022

Los medios de comunicación, de forma sesgada, suelen presentar ante la opinión pública al fenómeno del calentamiento global como un proceso exclusivamente atribuible a las actividades antrópicas, y sobre el que la Humanidad tiene capacidad para detenerlo e incluso revertirlo. Sin embargo, el registro geológico del planeta indica todo lo contrario, que a lo largo de la historia de la Tierra han existido espontáneamente muchos cambios climáticos similares e incluso mayores que el actual, dirigidos por procesos naturales que siguen activos en la actualidad y que, por lo tanto, modificarlos está fuera de nuestro alcance.

The COMFORT Trial: A randomised control trial comparing group-based COMpassion FOcused Therapy and breathing pattern ReTraining with Treatment As Usual on the psychological functioning of patients diagnosed with cancer recurrence during COVID.
Authors: Lynch Sinead , Lowry Damien , Finnerty Clodagh , O'Meara Yvonne , Brennan Donal
Published: November 2022

Background

A cancer diagnosis is a known precipitant of psychological distress, with fear of recurrence being a well-documented distressing consequence of cancer. Cancer recurrence often results in an additional psychological burden, which may exacerbated as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods

This is a single-centre, prospective, randomised controlled trial. Patients identified as having experienced cancer recurrence since March 2020 (the onset of COVID-19 pandemic in Ireland) will be screened for participation. Eligible, consenting candidates who score 4 or higher on the Distress Thermometer will be enrolled into the study. Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either a 6-week, group-based, online, Compassion Focussed Therapy and Breathing Pattern Retraining intervention or the control arm. Those in the control arm will all be offered the group intervention after the 18-week study period. The primary outcome is the Distress Thermometer score at 18-weeks post-baseline though secondary outcomes will include measures of mood, traumatic distress and mental adjustment to cancer.

Discussion

To our knowledge, this protocol describes the first RCT which directly examines the effect of a group-based psychological intervention on Irish patients experiencing cancer recurrence in the context of COVID-19. The outcome of this trial is likely to be twofold: It will determine if the psychological intervention achieves its primary objective of distress amelioration three months post-intervention; and to establish the feasibility of delivering this intervention in a virtual format.
