HYLOZOISM AND HYLOMORPHISM: A LASTING LEGACY OF GREEK PHILOSOPHY
Authors: Strauss Daniel Francois
Published: January 2019

Apparently philosophical reflection commenced when the awareness of diversity prompted the contemplation of an underlying unity. Thales found this principle of origination in water. Alongside elements such as water, air and fire as well as theÂ apeironÂ (the infinite-unbounded) Greek philosophy successively explores different modes of explanation. Number, space and movement were succeeded byÂ hulÃ¨Â andÂ morphÃ¨, where these two terms at once captured a connection between the (material) world of becoming and the world of organic life. The combination of matter and form (life) gave rise to the two terms of our investigation:Â hylozoismÂ andÂ hylomorphism. These terms are also related to the act-potency scheme and they also presuppose the relation between primary matter and substantial form. In the thought of Aristotle one can also identifyÂ energeiaÂ withÂ entelecheia. As soon as one of the two elements present in the two termsÂ hylozoismÂ andÂ hylomorphismÂ is elevated, aÂ monisticÂ perspective ensues, such as found in the opposition of mechanism and vitalism. These extremes sometimes surface in the shape of physicalism and the idea of an immaterial vital force. During and after the Renaissance, the idea of the mechanisation of the universe emerged, while vitalism continued its after-effect within biology, articularly seen in the legacy ofÂ idealist morphologyÂ (Ray and Linnaeus). The Aristotelian-Thomistic substance-concept appeared to have inherent problems. On the basis of experimental data Driesch revived vitalism (and Aristotle's view of anÂ entelechie), but did not succeed in coming to terms with the physical law of non-decreasing entropy â€“ he had to assign the ability to hisÂ entelechieÂ toÂ suspendÂ physical laws in order to account for the increasing order found in growing living entities. However, his neo-vitalist followers further explored Von Bertalanffy's generalisation of the second main law of thermodynamics toÂ open systems. Most recently the idea of a Workmaster (Demiurge) resurfaced in theories ofÂ Intelligent Design. These developments are explained by briefly referring to Michael Behe and Stephen Meyer. The historical lines discussed demonstrate how one-sidedÂ ismicÂ orientations may make a positive contribution to the identification of unique and irreducible modes of explanation from which scholarly research could still benefit.
What Is Conversational Philosophy? A Prescription of a New Theory and Method of Philosophising, in and Beyond African Philosophy
Authors: Chimakonam Jonathan Okeke
Published: January 2019

In this paper I discuss the meaning of the theory of conversational philosophy. I show that its background inspiration is derived from an under-explored African notion of relationship or communion or interdependence. I argue that conversational philosophy forms a theoretic framework on which most ethical, metaphysical and epistemological discourses in African philosophyâ€”and by African philosophersâ€”could be grounded. I call this framework the method of conversationalism. I unveil some of its basic principles and show its significance in and beyond African philosophy.
The Question of Epistemic Justice: Polemics, Contestations and Dialogue
Authors: Mungwini Pascah
Published: January 2019

This essay, which reflects on the â€œunfinished humanistic projectâ€ of decolonisation in Africa, is an invitation to examine the problem of epistemic injustice from a philosophical standpoint. At the core of my argument is the position that there is an epistemic dimension to Africaâ€™s problems, and the struggle for epistemic justice is as fundamental to humanity as all other struggles for social justice. Addressing the problem of epistemic injustice calls for multiple efforts and initiatives. Among these is commitment to new canon building across the disciplines, and adopting â€œstrategic particularismâ€ as a paradigm and philosophical framework in our academic projects. To confront epistemic injusticeâ€”and thus restore parity and equilibriumâ€”polemics, contestations, and dialogue are inevitable. In this endeavour, the goal should be to reclaim Africaâ€™s position in the conversation of humankind.
PRACTICAL WISDOM (PHRONÄ’SIS) AND HERMENEUTICAL POLITICS
Authors: Duvenage Pieter
Published: January 2019

This essay focuses on the implications of Aristotleâ€™s concept of practical wisdom (phronÄ“sis) for ethical and political life in contemporary societies â€“ especially pluralist and divided societies.1 The argument starts with a brief reconstruction of this well-known Aristotelian concept (section 1) and then moves to its critical appropriation by two prominent contemporary thinkers. In section 2 it is argued that Hans-Georg Gadamerâ€™s philosophical hermeneutics is deeply influenced by the concept of practical wisdom (phronÄ“sis), and that this influence has implications for the way he interprets contemporary politics â€“ especially a scientifically-steered politics that follows the recipe of a scientific method rather than to seek a more practically wise concept of truth. Gadamerâ€™s work provides a fitting departure point for the unique political theory of Hannah Arendt (section 3) â€“ especially the distinction she makes between an empirical and hermeneutical politics. It is additionally argued that this latter concept of Arendt, also being influenced by the Aristotelian tradition of phronÄ“sis, is taken further in her study of truth and politics and its implications for concepts such as freedom, action, history, and language.
QUESTIONS OF CANON FORMATION IN PHILOSOPHY: THE HISTORY OF PHILOSOPHY IN AFRICA
Authors: Graness Anke
Published: January 2019

The history of philosophy is not just an academic discipline, but considered to be a philosophical activity itself. It has been instrumental in shaping our understanding of philosophy, our philosophical canon and curricula. The history of philosophy in Africa is still a young discipline, although philosophical thinking (concepts, manuscripts, books and philosophers) can be traced back until ancient Egypt. Facing the problem of exclusion and inferiorisation of traditions of thought and philosophy in Africa, the discipline of the history of philosophy involves very specific problems and requires a project of â€œconceptual decolonisationâ€. This explains both the importance and the difficulty of writing a history of philosophy in Africa.
SHIFTING WHITE IDENTITIES IN SOUTH AFRICA: WHITE AFRICANNESS AND THE STRUGGLE FOR RACIAL JUSTICE
Authors: Matthews Sally
Published: January 2019

The end of apartheid predictably caused something of an identity crisis for white South Africans. The sense of uncertainty about what it means to be white has led to much public debate about whiteness in South Africa, as well as a growing body of literature on whites in post-apartheid South Africa. One of the many responses to this need to rethink white identity has been the claim by some that white South Africans can be considered to be African or ought to begin to think of themselves as being African. This paper argues that whitesâ€™ assertion of an African identity does not necessarily assist in the achievement of racial justice, but that some kind of shift in white identity is required in order for whites to be able to contribute to the achievement of a racially just South Africa. In making this argument, the paper brings contemporary discussions on race and whiteness, and in particular discussions about racial eliminativism, to bear on the question of whether or not white South Africans may rightly claim an African identity.
Placing the Ecological Crisis in a Broader Context: The Orphic and the Promethean
Authors: Pittaway David Anthony
Published: January 2019

The historical prevalence of Promethean characteristics such as dominion and domination has resulted in a dispensation where exclusive pragmatism and habitual perception have steered human actions in directions that have resulted in an unprecedented ecological crisis. Christianity, reductionist science, pragmatic technology, and capitalism have homogenised discursive arenas, limiting the extent to which one can exercise negative freedom, and making ecological degradation unavoidable as a consequence of Promethean progress. Mechanisms exist that prevent changes toward ecologically-sensitive attitudes from rooting and spreading as remedies to Promethean attitudes. Alternative, Orphic attitudes, theories, and movements do exist, and they offer something of a response to Promethean attitudes underpinning the ecological crisis. Permaculture offers a down to earth, context-bound approach to establishing Orphic systems, while philosophy in two specific formats are tools to further broaden the context of the ecological crisis. These philosophical formats are, first, Badiou and Å½iÅ¾ekâ€™s outline of the role of philosophy â€œin the present,â€ and second, Pierre Hadotâ€™s work on philosophy as a way of life. From the first, it is clear that philosophy cannot confine itself to humanity as it has been historically constituted, which implies that it cannot confine itself to the realm of the Promethean, which has dominated Western history. From the second, philosophy as a way of life entails a breakaway from Promethean, utilitarian, and habitual perception, and aligns itself with an Orphic form of consciousness.
The Fall and Original Sin of Set Theory
Authors: Strauss Daniel Francois
Published: January 2019

Hermann Weyl published a brief survey as preface to a review of The Philosophy of Bertrand Russell in 1946. In this survey he used the phrase, â€œThe Fall and Original Sin of Set Theory.â€ Investigating the background of this remark will require that we pay attention to a number of issues within the foundations of mathematics. For example: Did God make the integersâ€”as Kronecker alleged? Is mathematics set theory? Attention will also be given to axiomatic set theory and relevant ontic pre-conditions, such as the difference between number and number symbols, to number as â€œan aspect of objective realityâ€ (GÃ¶del), integers and induction (Skolem) as well as to the question if infinityâ€”as endlessnessâ€”could be completed. In 1831 Gauss objected to viewing the infinite as something completed, which is not allowed in mathematics. It will be argued that the actual infinite is rather connected to what is present â€œat once,â€ as an infinite totality. By the year 1900 mathematicians believed that mathematics had reached absolute rigour, but unfortunately the rest of the twentieth century witnessed the opposite. The axiom of infinity ruined the expectations of logicismâ€”mathematics cannot be reduced to logic. The intuitionism of Brouwer, Weyl and others launched a devastating attack on classical analysis, further inspired by the outcome of GÃ¶delâ€™s famous proof of 1931, in which he has shown that a formal mathematical system is inconsistent or incomplete. Intuitionism created a whole new mathematics, which finds no counter-part in classical mathematics. Slater remarked that within this logical paradise of Russell lurked a serpent, hidden behind the unjustified employment of the at once infinite. According to Weyl, â€œThis is the Fall and original sin of set theory for which it is justly punished by the antinomies.â€ In conclusion, a few systematic distinctions are introduced.
Aplicação da Análise Multivariada e da Resolução CONAMA 357/2005 para Análise da Qualidade de Água em Rios de Pernambuco (Application of Multivariate Analysis and Resolution CONAMA 357/2005 for Analysis of Water Quality in Rivers of Pernambuco)
Authors: Santos Nathália Bandeira Carvalho dos , Graciano dos Santos Rayza Helen , Silva Ronaldo Faustino da
Published: January 2019

Os rios são as principais fontes de água potável para a comunidade humana e abastecem reservatórios naturais e artificiais e a redução da disponibilidade hídrica está diretamente relacionada principalmente aos processos de urbanização. Os rios Gurjáu, Pirapama, Glória do Goitá e Capibaribe estão inseridos no estado de Pernambuco e possuem importância econômica principalmente para o consumo humano. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar as variáveis físico-químicas da água pela Resolução CONAMA 357/2005 verificando os parâmetros conformes pela legislação e através da análise estatística multivariada. As coletas foram realizadas em seis pontos entre os meses de maio e junho de 2016.  Com análise físico-química das amostras de água dos rios foi possível identificar que alguns parâmetros se encontram dentro dos limites ou superiores aos permitidos pela Resolução 357/05 do CONAMA. As amostras RG, RP, RC-400, RGO-620 foram classificadas como classe 2 das águas doces e RC-300 E RC-950 sendo classificados como classe 1 das águas salobras (CONAMA 357/05). Com a análise multivariada o dendrograma do UPGMA, separou as amostras em dois grupos de acordo com a similaridade dos resultados das variáveis físico-químicas. A correlação cofenética das amostras exibiu que as amostras não são linearmente tão relacionadas entre si, corroborando com os resultados da matriz triangular.  Com a aplicação da PCA (Fitopac 6.1) e da matriz retangular foi possível reduzir o número de indicadores de qualidade de água, selecionando os indicadores mais determinantes para as características dos ambientes estudados. Os resultados obtidos permitem afirmar que a análise multivariada categorizou as amostras de águas estudadas e que os rios estudados embora apresentem algum de seus parâmetros alterados se mostram com um bom nível de potabilidade o que garante a sua utilização pela sociedade.

Authors: UGURLU Elif , YAĞMUR Sultan , YILMAZ Selehattin
Published: January 2019

In this study, electroanalytical technique was developed for the quantitative analysis of clomipramine hydrochloride from its commercial tablet dosage forms based on its oxidation behavior.  The electrochemical determination of clomipramine hydrochloride was easily carried out on glassy carbon electrode (GCE) by two voltammetric techniques.  The electrochemical measurements were carried out on GCE surface in different buffer solutions in the pH range from 2.00 to 12.00 by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) techniques.  The efect of pH on the anodic peak current and peak potential was investigated. Phosphate buffer (pH 6.50) was selected for analytical purposes.  The diffusion-controlled nature of the peak was obtained.   A linear calibration plot for DPV analysis was constructed in the clozapine concentration range from 5x10-6 mol L-1 to 3x10-5 mol L-1. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were obtained as 2.8x10-7 mol L-1 and 8.4x10-7 mol L-1 respectively.  Validation of applied voltammetric techniques was applied.
BIOMONITORING OF HEAVY METALS DEPOSITION WITH PSEUDEVERNIA FURFURACEA (L.) ZOPF IN ÇORUM CITY, TURKEY
Authors: YILDIZ Atila , VARDAR Çiğdem , AKSOY Ahmet , ÜNAL Ediz
Published: January 2019

Heavy metal air pollution is an important environmental problem. One of the methods used to monitor pollution in air is the method of transplanting lichen samples by the "bag technique". In this study, Pseudevernia furfuracea was used as a bioindicator to determine the heavy metal level in the air of Çorum and to generate an air pollution map of the city. The lichen samples were collected from the Yapraklı Mountains in Çankırı in 2002 and transplanted to 8 different stations in Çorum. Lichen samples were retrieved at two different periods in three month intervals. Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) spectrometry (Varian Liberty ICP-OES Sequential) was used to identify the heavy metals, such as copper (Cu), cadmium (Cd), manganese (Mn), nickel (Ni), lead (Pb) and zinc (Zn) in the lichen samples. The chlorophyll a and b contents were determined by using the modified DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) method. With these values chlorophyll a+b, a/b and b/a were also calculated. According to the results of the heavy metal analysis by the use of P. furfuracea, air pollution levels in Çorum was detected. The reasons of pollution can be stated as heavy traffic, industrial activities and heating processes in the city. P. furfuracea can be used as a bioindicator for pollution studies.

The protective effect of polysaccharide glucan in chickens fed low doses of T-2 toxin was assessed. The binder effect of β-D-glucan on jejunal mucosa in relation to the expression of Na+/K+-ATPase, proliferative activity of enterocytes and number of goblet cells was investigated. A total of 40 one-day-old chickens were allocated to four groups: control (C), β-D-glucan (G), T-2 toxin (T) and combined β-D-glucan+T-2 toxin (GT). The chickens were individually administrated per os 1.0 mg/bird/day of β-D-glucan derived from Candida albicans on days 11, 12, and 21 of the experiment (totally 3 mg per bird). T-2 toxin at a concentration of 1.45 μg·kg-1 was added to the feed from day 14 to day 28 of the experiment. The α subunit-specific anti-Na+/K+-ATPase antibody was used to identify the protein by immunofluorescence in the cell membrane of jejunal enterocytes. Higher expression of Na+/K+-ATPase was found in the jejunal epithelial cells and lamina propria in the chickens fed T-2 toxin and administered glucan (P < 0.05) compared to control. The number of proliferated enterocytes was higher in group T compared to group G and control (P < 0.001), as well group GT (P < 0.01). Goblet cell density did not present significant differences between groups of chickens, but group G showed the highest values. These data suggest that administration of pure T-2 toxin at low doses affects primarily the protein synthesis of actively dividing cells. Higher distribution of Na+/K+-ATPase in enterocytes of chickens in GT group suggests positive influence of glucan and mycotoxin on the ion pump. A binding effect of this immunomodulator on the digestive tract mucosa in the applied setup was not observed.
Preparing Doctoral Students for the Professoriate through a Formal Preparatory Course
Authors: S Alkathiri Mohammed , R Olson Myrna
Published: January 2019

Aim/Purpose: This study aimed to investigate doctoral student preparation for the professoriate through a formal course entitled “The Professoriate.”

Background: Many studies addressed the need for improved graduate preparation, however, the study of doctoral student experiences in preparation courses, designed as part of the doctoral academic programs, has received less attention.

Methodology: Eleven doctoral students (one withdrew from the study) were enrolled in a formal course that was designed to prepare them for the professoriate. The study was conducted using an ethnographic case study approach with multiple data collection methods that included observation, interviews, member checking, and examination of related documents.

Contribution: Acquainted with critical realist ontology, the researchers argued that it was necessary to investigate the concerns and preparation of doctoral students in order to better clarify the complex experiences that underlie their practices of making meaning and maintaining balance and well-being in the professoriate.

Findings: Three prominent themes emerged that pointed out the experience of doctoral students with regard to their preparation for the professoriate: (1) Perceived concerns with regard to working in the professoriate; (2) Students’ preparatory practices and preparatory opportunities available to them; and (3) Students’ perspectives about “The Professoriate” course and its value.

Recommendations for Practitioners: The findings highlighted that educators in doctoral programs need to address and evaluate students’ concerns and preparatory activities in order to make adjustments for students that enhance their success in the program as well as in the professoriate in future.

Recommendation for Researchers: The findings suggest further research into the formal preparatory opportunities available for students within doctoral programs and the barriers affecting students’ ability to participate in informal preparatory activities.

Impact on Society: The findings supported the importance of providing formal preparatory courses as part of doctoral programs. Formal courses within doctoral programs allow students to devote their time for preparation which will help them to better understand the professoriate and plan for their careers.

Future Research: Future research may continue the study of formal opportunities to prepare for the professoriate that are available for doctoral students from different disciplines, the experiences of doctoral students taking part in such opportunities, and the impact on doctoral student readiness for the professoriate.
Business Group Affiliation and Firm Performance—Evidence from
Pakistani Listed Firms
Authors: . Waseemullah , Hasan Arshad
Published: January 2019

This study analyses the financial performance of business
group affiliated firms relative to stand-alone firms in Pakistan. The
investigations are done across the sample period of 1993-2012. The study
employs ‘Chop shop’ methodology to construct the excess values
(performance measure); in order to compare the results with earlier well
documented studies of both developed and emerging countries. Both
univariate and regression analyses clearly demonstrate that group
affiliated firms are trading at discount (underperform relative to
stand-alone firms) during the sample period. Despite the historical
success in the past, the findings suggest that business groups evolve
differently in the post financial reforms and privatisation programs
era. The findings are consistent with the market failure argument and
agency theory. However, the study finds a little evidence of efficient
internal markets of Pakistani business groups. Keywords: Business

Theodosius “the Greek”, Kliment Smoliatich, and the Unnamed Patriarch
Authors: Polonski Dmitri G.
Published: January 2019

The article addresses the issue of dating a Church Slavonic translation from Greek of Pope Leo the Great’s Tome to Archbishop Flavian of Constantinople (449), confirmed by the Fourth Ecumenical Council as an essential document of dogma (451). So far the translation has been dated as widely as the 12th century. The existing interpretations were mainly concerned with the biography of the translator, a monk Theodosius, who lived in the Kievan Rus' in the 12th century and is thought to have been an abbot of the Kievan Caves monastery (A. Shakhmatov’s version) or a cleric under the metropolitan (E. Golubinski’s version). Dwelling on the second of these suggestions, and adding his own hypothesis that Theodosius was educated in Byzantium, at the Orphanotropheion of St. Paul, the author of the article goes on to elucidate an obscure passage in Theodosius’s introduction to the Slavic translation of the Tome with a mention of an unnamed patriarch and to further hypothesize about the date of the translation: supposedly the translation activities took place at the time when Kliment Smoliatich was the nominal head of the Kievan metropoly and thus can be dated between September 1149 and April 1151. The final part of the article addresses the issue from a different perspective, discussing Theodosius’s introduction in the context of Old Slavonic hymnography. It interprets the phrase about the unnamed ʽPatriarch’ in the view of the Slavonic text of a church service devoted to Pope Leo and held in monasteries, thus producing a more exact date for the translation, February 18, 1151.
On the Problem of the Name rus’ in the Earliest Rus’ian Chronicles
Authors: Stefanovich Petr S.
Published: January 2019

In the article the author studies the identity that was referred to by the name rus’ in the earliest chronicles of Kievan Rus’. The analysis is based on the ideas and reconstructions of Alexei A. Shakhmatov, who proved that the famous Tale of Bygone Years (1100s) had included some earlier chronicle or annalistic texts composed in the 11th century. According to Shakhmatov, the Tale originated from the so-called “Initial Composition” written in Kiev in the 1090s. The author shows that the writer or writers of the “Composition” placed Rus’ in the world history according to the eschatological schemes of Byzantine chronicles. They understood Rus’ as a Christian people and as a powerful state, and tried to “expand” its identity over local communities. The earlier texts, which can be dated back to the mid-11th century, considered Rus’ in a different way: their authors’ efforts were to specify its identity in relation to other ethnic or political groups, stressing its military victories and ignoring religious boundaries. The author of the article concludes that the intellectuals of Kievan Rus’ were able to propose a variety of distinct “strategies of identification” and “ethnic projects”.

Published: January 2019

Yapılan literatür taramalarında; oklu kirpilerin

böbrekleri üzerinde, iki ve üç boyutlu görüntüleme ile yapılan bir araştırma

bulunmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu araştırma, oklu kirpilerde ilk kez;

bilgisayarlı tomografik görüntüler kullanılarak, böbreklerin detaylı

anatomisini elde etmek için planlanmıştır. Çalışma, 5 erkek ve 5 dişi olmak

üzere toplam 10 erişkin oklu kirpi üzerinde yapılmıştır. Multidetektör bilgisayarlı

tomografi (MDCT) cihazından sağlanan görüntüler, üç boyutlu (3D) modelleme

yazılımı (VITAL, Vitrea 2, HP XW6400 Workstation, ABD) ile, böbreklerin 3D

modelinin oluşturulması için kullanılmıştır. Böbreklerin en, boy ve kalınlıkları

ile merkezlerinin columnavertebralis’e olan uzaklıkları ölçülmüştür.Ölçüm

değerleri, tablo halinde sunulmuştur. Veriler istatistiksel olarak analiz

edilmiştir. Bir erkek ve bir dişi iki materyal hariç, bütün hayvanlarda, sağ

böbrek ölçümleri sol böbrekten daha yüksek olarak saptanmıştır. İstatistiksel analiz sonuçlarına göre;

hacim, genişlik ve kalınlık değerlerinde, anlamlı bir istatistiksel fark bulunduğu

görülmüştür. Araştırmanın; oklu kirpilerde ilk kez yapılmış olması sebebiyle, hem

anatomi alanındaki incelemelere, hem de ileride yapılacak benzer alanlardaki

çalışmalara kaynak teşkil edebilmesi bakımından anlamlı olduğu düşünülmektedir.
When the lens is too wide: the political consequences of the visual dehumanization of refugees

Photojournalistic images shape our understanding of sociopolitical events. How humans are depicted in images may have far-reaching consequences for our attitudes towards them. Here, we focus on the visual depiction of refugees to understand how exposure to the dominant visual framing used in the media, depicting them in large groups of faceless individuals, affects their dehumanization and sets off political consequences. Seeing images of large groups resulted in greater implicit dehumanization compared with images depicting small groups. Moreover, after viewing images of large groups, participants showed increased preference for more dominant, less trustworthy political leaders and supported less pro-refugee policies and more anti-refugee policies. Lastly, the extent to which participants felt reduced pity for images depicting large groups mediated the effect of visual framing on the choice of more authoritarian leaders. What we see in the media and how it is shown has attitudinal, behavioural as well as political consequences.
Coaching e resiliência: intervenções possíveis para pressões e medos de ginastas e esgrimistas
Authors: Valle Marcia Pilla do
Published: January 2019

O presente trabalho surgiu do interesse em averiguar as pressões e medos de atletas de alto rendimento em modalidades individuais, levantando dados para possíveis intervenções. Em estudos anteriores (Valle, 2003 e 2006) constatou- se que a vida do atleta não se resume ao treinamento ou às competições, mas que sua prática produz uma série de paradoxos e conflitos com os quais ele precisa lidar. A Psicologia do Esporte pode e deve ajudar ao traçar estratégias de enfrentamento (coping) para encarar estas tensões de forma a evitar o estresse. Nesta investigação, foram avaliados seis atletas adultos dos departamentos de Esgrima e Ginástica Olímpica de um clube de Porto Alegre. Todos os sujeitos são voltados ao esporte de alto rendimento, possuem resultados significativos, incluindo títulos e participações em competições internacionais. Adaptaram-se os testes “Test de las presiones del deportista de Selección” e “Test de los miedos del futbolista” (Roffé, 2004). Após a aplicação dos testes, realizou-se uma entrevista individual com cada participante levantando-se as justificativas para as escolhas. A partir dos resultados, buscou-se estabelecer relações entre as pressões e os medos mais comuns nos atletas de Esgrima e Ginástica Olímpica, ampliando a compreensão de como podem interferir na performance atlética. Foram levantadas, ainda, algumas estratégias de intervenção a partir dos conceitos de coaching e resiliência. Investigações como as deste trabalho visam contribuir com conhecimentos que auxiliem na escolha de estratégias de intervenção da Psicologia do Esporte no clube.

O objetivo desse trabalho foi verificar a associaçãoentre os traços de personalidade e ansiedade e depressãoem jogadores de futebol. Participaram da pesquisa 29jogadores de um time de uma cidade do interior do estadode São Paulo, com idades entre 17 e 21 anos, com médiade 19 anos (DP=1,07). Aplicou-se coletivamente o BAIque é composto por 21 itens com informações descritivasdos sintomas de ansiedade; e o BDI, composto por 21 itensque apresentam descrições de sintomas de depressão. Emambos os instrumentos os itens devem ser avaliados pelosujeito em referência a si mesmo em razão da freqüência deocorrência de cada um numa escala de 0 a 3 pontos. A medidade personalidade foi tomada pelo Big Five que apresenta64 adjetivos, os quais os participantes devem assinalar emtermos da intensidade de concordância com que aquele itemos caracterizam numa escala de cinco pontos. Dentre osresultados evidenciou-se uma correlação negativa entre oNeuroticismo e a ansiedade, que indica que o aumento dessetraço denota uma diminuição correspondente na ansiedadeo que se contrapõe a definição do mesmo.

Authors: Telles Thabata Castelo Branco , Araruna Lara Cavalcante , Almeida Mayara Silva , Melo Anna Karynne
Published: January 2019

Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar os processos de adesão e aderência ao exercício na idade adulta, a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica. Foram selecionados textos publicados entre 2003 e 2013, nas bases de dados: LILACS, SciELO e BIREME, com as palavras-chave: exercício, adesão e aderência. Dentre os resultados, a relação entre prevenção de doenças e prática de exercício foi predominante, e a musculação, a dança e a corrida de rua aparecem como os principais exercícios estudados. Foi constatado também que a constância e a regularidade na prática de exercícios ocorrem por motivos associados à busca da saúde física e mental. A socialização foi um aspecto que apareceu muito como incentivador para a aderência, já a falta de tempo predominou como um fator de dificuldade no que concerne tanto à adesão quanto à aderência. Concluímos com a necessidade de que sejam realizados mais estudos desta natureza, principalmente no Brasil, para que essa temática seja mais explorada e desenvolvida, aumentando assim a compreensão de como a psicologia do esporte e do exercício pode auxiliar nos processos de adesão e aderência ao exercício.  Palavras-chave: exercício, adesão e aderência.

Published: January 2019

No contexto esportivo a coesão pode influenciar na performance, comunicação e nos casos de abandono. No esporte infantil relacionamentos coesos são fundamentais para promover prazer e satisfação. O presente estudo pretende apresentar o processo de adaptação transcultural e avaliação da validade de conteúdo do Child Sport Cohesion Questionnaire para a cultura brasileira. A versão final, denominada em português brasileiro de Questionário de Coesão no Esporte Infantil foi produzida a partir da seguinte estrutura metodológica: tradução, síntese, retro-tradução e avaliação do conteúdo partir de dois critérios: pertinência e clareza semântica. Utilizou-se da análise de Coeficiente de Validade de Conteúdo para mensurar a avaliação dos dois critérios. A dificuldade na adaptação do instrumento foi discutida à luz das teorias da coesão e dinâmica de grupos. Concluiu-se que a versão brasileira do questionário foi adequada para utilização na população-alvo, mas estudos psicométricos devem ser conduzidos no futuro para assegurar outros critérios de validade e fidedignidade dessa medida no Brasil.

Published: January 2019

Nas competições esportivas, a rápida tomada de decisão e a variação de golpes podem influenciar o resultado de uma luta. Este estudo investigou métodos de intervenção para incremento do comportamento de variar golpes em atletas de Muay Thai. Para o aumento do variar utilizou-se de reforçamento diferencial a cada variação e o treino do técnico para a correta emissão do reforço em forma de elogios. O delineamento teve como fases: linha de base, intervenção e reversão. A variável experimental produziu efeito nas respostas de variar golpes que variaram de acordo com o feedback do técnico, demonstrando também a importância do treino do técnico no contexto esportivo. Além de, para o técnico, promoção de respostas de liberar consequências positivas para os atletas, a forma de análise dos dados auxilia no planejamento de intervenções, mostrando-se produtiva para a avaliação de repertório de atletas dentro de uma equipe multidisciplinar. Os resultados desta pesquisa contribuem para o planejamento de métodos de aumento de rendimento e preparação pré-competição.

Authors: Camilo Juliana A de Oliveira , Pereira Adriana Bernardes
Published: January 2019

O presente trabalho se propõe a uma reflexão crítica sobre a presença de uma mulher como partícipe de uma equipe técnica de alto rendimento em um contexto do Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). São feitas considerações a partir dos conceitos de pós-modernidade (Lyotard, 1989); sociedade do espetáculo (Debord,1992)  e as concepções feministas de gênero da sua segunda onda (Scott, 2005). São apresentados, também, os relatos de experiência vividos por uma pesquisadora, mulher, e as tensões envolvidas quando ela se faz presente na rotina de treinamentos e contexto social de um lutador de Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) em momentos prévios a uma luta de grande visibilidade nacional (UFC).Palavras Chaves: Artes Marciais Mistas, Psicologia do esporte, Gênero, Lutas.

Published: January 2019

A atividade física oferece benefícios com relação à saúde física e mental dos praticantes. Contudo, pouco se conhece sobre o que motiva os participantes adultos e idosos a procurar a prática de exercício físico. Objetivou-se investigar a relação entre autoestima e a motivação de praticantes de atividade física acima de 40 anos de idade. Para isso, foram coletadas informações de 43 praticantes de atividades físicas em academias. Além do questionário socioeconômico, foram aplicadas a Escala de Motivações para a prática de Exercício Físico em Academias e Escala de Autoestima de Rosemberg. Optou-se, ainda, dividir a escala de motivação em 4 aspectos: “Indicação Médica”, “Socialização”, “Aparência Física” e “Manutenção da Saúde”. Os dados mostraram que o grupo de adultos (40 a 59 anos) possuem motivação multifatorial para à prática de exercício físico. Grupo de idosos (acima dos 60 anos) apresentou correlação entre autoestima e os aspectos motivacionais Indicação médica (p< 0,0001), Socialização (p= 0,048), Aparência física (p= 0,047) e Manutenção da saúde (p< 0,0001). Pode-se concluir que os adultos procuram a prática de atividade física devido a diversos fatores (aspectos multifatorial), enquanto que os idosos buscam a prática da atividade física pela preocupação com a sensação de sentir-se só, manutenção da saúde, indicação médica e também pela preocupação com a aparência física.
