Refined cyclic renormalization group in Russian doll model
Authors: Motamarri Vedant , Khaymovich Ivan M. , Gorsky Alexander S.
Published: December 2024

Focusing on Bethe-Ansatz integrable models, robust to both time-reversal symmetry breaking and disorder, we consider the Russian Doll Model (RDM) for finite system sizes and energy levels. Suggested as a time-reversal-symmetry breaking deformation of Richardson’s model, the well-known and simplest model of superconductivity, RDM revealed an unusual cyclic renormalization group (RG) over the system size NN, where the energy levels repeat themselves, shifted by one after a finite period in \ln NlnN, supplemented by a hierarchy of superconducting condensates, with the superconducting gaps following the so-called Efimov (exponential) scaling. The equidistant single-particle spectrum of RDM made the above Efimov scaling and cyclic RG to be asymptotically exact in the wideband limit of the diagonal potential. Here, we generalize this observation in various respects. We find that, beyond the wideband limit, when the entire spectrum is considered, the periodicity of the spectrum is not constant, but appears to be energy-dependent. Moreover, we resolve the apparent paradox of shift in the spectrum by a single level after the RG period, despite the disappearance of a finite fraction of energy levels. We also analyze the effects of disorder in the diagonal potential on the above periodicity and show that it survives only for high energies beyond the energy interval of the disorder amplitude. Our analytic analysis is supported with exact diagonalization.

Published: December 2024

Technology and the internet have altered business activities by enabling organizations to reach customers, develop markets, enhance profitability, and raise brand awareness. With 167 million social media users, Indonesia’s internet economy provides numerous entrepreneurial possibilities; however, just 0.43% of entrepreneurs are technology-based. This demonstrates the need for digital entrepreneurship education and effective social media use, particularly among tech-savvy college students. The present study aims to examine the effects of social media utilization, digital entrepreneurship education, and attitude toward digital business on the technology-based entrepreneurial behavior of Indonesian university students, using the frameworks of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology and the theory of planned behavior. This study employs quantitative research using a non-probability sampling method with a judgmental technique, focusing on 391 university students engaged in entrepreneurial activities using social media. The study employed SmartPLS to analyze the research data. The results indicate that social influence, work and performance expectations, and attitude toward digital entrepreneurship positively influence the use of social media for technology-based entrepreneurial activities. Moreover, the paper unveiled that the provision of digital entrepreneurship education and the utilization of social media for commercial purposes had a beneficial influence on behavior that is predisposed toward technology. The present study demonstrates that the adoption of social media functions as a mediator in the association between digital entrepreneurship education and the adoption of social media, therefore exerting an impact on technology-based entrepreneurial behavior.

Counter-Discourse on The Criticism of Ibn Rushd Toward al-Ghazali
Authors: Hakim Ahmad
Published: December 2024

Al-Ghazali's intellectuality and capabilities have been recognized worldwide until he was nicknamed H{ujjatul Isla>m. Therefore, if there are people who refute his thinking in many ways, then the refutation needs to be investigated further. In this case, Ibn Rushd rejected and blamed al-Ghazali's criticism of the peculiarities of the philosophers on three things, namely the nature’s immortality, God's knowledge, and physical resurrection. This study aims to find a clear position regarding the controversial discussion between Ibn Rushd and al-Ghazali. Both had different views on these three issues. This qualitative discussion with a critical hermeneutic approach presents various analyzes of the arguments of the two figures, especially concerning Ibn Rushd's criticism toward al-Ghazali. This study resulted in a conclusion that Ibn Rushd's criticism toward al-Ghazali can be said to still have gaps in his argumentation. When Ibn Rushd presented a proposition in the form of verses of the Qur'an, the verse he delivered supported al-Ghazali's opinion if analyzed in more depth, and was cross-checked with other verses.
A MODALIDADE DEÔNTICA EM SENTENÇAS JUDICIAIS
Authors: Oliveira André Silva , Santana dos Santos Eduarda
Published: December 2024

O objetivo do presente estudo consiste em descrever e analisar a modalidade deôntica em sentenças judiciais, considerando para isso aspectos de ordem semântica como reguladores da deonticidade engendrada em sentenças judiciais, a partir do que é regulado, prescrito ou avaliado pelos participantes da interação (juiz, promotor, defensor, etc.) na elaboração do veredito final sobre o caso julgado. Para isso, adota-se o modelo teórico da Gramática Discursivo-Funcional de Hengeveld e Mackenzie (2008), procurando descrever e analisar os valores modais deônticos (obrigação, permissão e proibição), a orientação modal (Participante e Evento) e o domínio modal (objetivo e subjetivo), categorias relativas ao Nível Representacional. Após a análise das vinte sentenças judiciais que compuseram o corpus desta pesquisa, verificou-se que os valores modais de obrigação (necessidade deôntica) e proibição (negação de possibilidade deôntica) são os mais recorrentes, cuja orientação modal para o Evento é majoritária na articulação dos conteúdos modais deônticos, revelando, desse modo, a imparcialidade, objetividade e assertividade na regulação, prescrição e avaliação dos deveres, das regras e das normas sancionadas. No tocante ao domínio modal, houve uma preponderância de modalidade deôntica objetiva, afastando, assim, qualquer possibilidade de uma leitura pessoal e particular das obrigações e das proibições instauradas nas sentenças judiciais.
Patogenicidade de Monosporascus spp. e efeito de indutores de resistência em meloeiro
Authors:   , Araujo Andrezza Klyvia Oliveira de
Published: December 2024

Monosporascus, considerado principal patógeno radicular, está associado à
“podridão de raízes e declínio de ramas em meloeiro” – PRDR, que causam
prejuízos na produção de meloeiro amarelo. Para combater o fungo, as plantas
podem desenvolver uma resistência ao ataque de patógeno, através de respostas
bioquímicas ou fisiológicas, podendo ser proteínas relacionadas à patogênese
(quitinasee β-1,3-glucanase) e enzimas envolvidas na rota dos fenilpropanóides,
como a fenilalanina amônialiase (FAL). Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi
avaliar o uso dos produtos Bion®, Biobacter® e Unique® em meloeiro amarelo para
as novas espécies de Monosporascus, bem como o conhecimento básico da
patogenicidade destas novas espécies. Para o experimento foram utilizadas seis
espécies de Monosporascus, (M. cannonballus, M. brasiliensis, M. caatinguensis,
M. mossoroensis, M. nordestinus e M. semiaridus), inoculadas em vasos com solo
contendo plântulas de meloeiro tratadas em pré e pós-semeadas. Para o
experimento de indução de resistencia, utilizou-se três plântulas e uma plântula,
para o experimento de patogenicidade. No experimento de patogenicidade, foram
avaliadas as seguintes variáveis: severidade e incidência da doença, comprimento
da aérea (CPA) e do sistema radicular (CSR) e massa fresca da parte aérea (MFPA)
e do sistema radicular(MFSR). Para indução de resistência em meloeiro, foram
avaliados: incidência, severidade, CSR e CPA, MSSR e MSPA, MFSR e MFPA e
atividade enzimática. Todas as espécies de Monosporascus ocasionaram doença
em meloeiro, sendo as espécies M. cannonballus e M. brasiliensis as mais
agressivas a cultura. Em contrapartida, M. caatinguensis foi o menos agressivo
para o patossistema em estudo. O M. semiaridus induziu maior atividade das
enzimas quitinase, β-1,3-glucanases e FAL, em plantas de meloeiro, em relação às
outras espécies estudadas, ocorrendo uma redução na incidência e severidade da
doença. Os produtos comerciais utilizados influenciaram positivamente,
aumentando a atividade das enzimas quitinase, fenilalanina amônia-liase e
β‑1,3‑glucanases e, consequentemente, favoreceram a redução da incidência e
severidade, que por sua vez foram benéficos para manter o desempenho nas
características físicas

Urbanization has consequences for the urban environment, such as environmental pollution, which has a direct impact on the quality of urban ecology. In monitoring the quality of the urban environment, RSEI is one method that can be used. This study aims to assess the quality of urban ecology using RSEI in Bandung City in 2023 during the rainy season and dry season. RSEI combines four main indicators in the form of NDVI, WET, NDBSI, and LST from Landsat 8 and 9 image data analyzed using the PCA method. The results showed that image recording in both seasons greatly affected the RSEI results, where RSEI had better conditions during the rainy season than the dry season in terms of area and spatial distribution. This was evidenced by the RSEI area in the good and very good categories tending to be higher during the rainy season.Keywords: Urban Ecological Quality, RSEI, Landsat

Authors: Koh Jodie , Caron Stacey , Watters Amber N , Vaidyanathan Mahesh , Melnick David , Santi Alyssa , Hudson Kenneth , Arguelles Catherine , Mathur Priyanka , Etemadi Mozziyar
Published: December 2024

Background

Patient recruitment and data management are laborious, resource-intensive aspects of clinical research that often dictate whether the successful completion of studies is possible. Technological advances present opportunities for streamlining these processes, thus improving completion rates for clinical research studies.

Objective

This paper aims to demonstrate how technological adjuncts can enhance clinical research processes via automation and digital integration.

Methods

Using one clinical research study as an example, we highlighted the use of technological adjuncts to automate and streamline research processes across various digital platforms, including a centralized database of electronic medical records (enterprise data warehouse [EDW]); a clinical research data management tool (REDCap [Research Electronic Data Capture]); and a locally managed, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act–compliant server. Eligible participants were identified through automated queries in the EDW, after which they received personalized email invitations with digital consent forms. After digital consent, patient data were transferred to a single Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act–compliant server where each participant was assigned a unique QR code to facilitate data collection and integration. After the research study visit, data obtained were associated with existing electronic medical record data for each participant via a QR code system that collated participant consent, imaging data, and associated clinical data according to a unique examination ID.

Results

Over a 19-month period, automated EDW queries identified 20,988 eligible patients, and 10,582 patients received personalized email invitations. In total, 1000 (9.45%) patients signed consents to participate in the study. Of the consented patients, 549 unique patients completed 779 study visits; some patients consented to the study at more than 1 time period during their pregnancy.

Conclusions

Technological adjuncts in clinical research decrease human labor while increasing participant reach and minimizing disruptions to clinic operations. Automating portions of the clinical research process benefits clinical research efforts by expanding and optimizing participant reach while reducing the limitations of labor and time in completing research studies.

Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Humans continuously adapt through a perception-action cycle, where sensory inputs shape actions, and subsequent outcomes, influenced by rewards and penalties, modify future behaviors. Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) may arise from maladaptive learning in this cycle, creating dysfunctional behavior patterns that reduce agency and disrupt functional responses. FND encompasses functional seizures, movement disorders, dizziness, and cognitive impairments, significantly impacting quality of life. Recent advances in neurotechnologies, particularly extended reality (XR), present opportunities for novel therapeutic approaches targeting FND.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to assess the usability of an XR neurotechnology platform designed for biofeedback training in functional limb weakness, integrating haptic and visual feedback to support motor control and rehabilitation for FND patients.

METHODS

A mixed-methods approach was employed, a hands-on co-design workshop with three FND patient representatives with lived experience and three healthcare professionals from the UK’s Royal Preston Hospital. Participants engaged in usability testing across three XR training tasks: VR relaxation, XR position feedback control, and XR force feedback control. System Usability Scale (SUS) scores were collected, and qualitative written feedback data was analyzed using NVivo to identify user needs and areas for platform improvement.

RESULTS

High usability scores were observed for the XR position feedback control and VR relaxation training tasks, with most participants rating them above 85, reflecting excellent usability and satisfaction. However, the XR force feedback task revealed variability in scores, particularly in participant with conditions such as functional dystonia, indicating the need for task personalization. Qualitative analysis highlighted themes of customization, comfort, accessibility, and XR technological quality as critical factors for enhancing user experience.

CONCLUSIONS

This study demonstrated the potential of XR neurotechnology for FND rehabilitation, with high usability for XR position feedback control and VR relaxation training tasks. However, the XR force feedback task showed mixed usability, suggesting that a “one-size-fits-all” approach may not be suitable for all FND conditions. Enhancements in comfort, personalization, and accessibility are essential for optimizing user satisfaction. Future research should explore task-specific customizations to better accommodate individual needs in FND rehabilitation.

BACKGROUND

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is used to assess glycemic trends and guide therapeutic changes for people with diabetes. We aimed to increase patient access to this tool by equipping primary care physicians (PCPs) to accurately interpret and integrate CGM into their practice via a multidisciplinary team approach.

OBJECTIVE

The primary objective of this study was to integrate CGM into a primary care practice utilizing physician extenders, including a clinical pharmacist (PharmD) and Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist (CDCES).

METHODS

Eighteen PCPs received a one-hour video training module from an endocrinologist teaching a systematic stepwise approach to CGM interpretation. Patient inclusion criteria included type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), ≥18 years old, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) ≥ 8% or concern for hypoglycemia, without past CGM use or an endocrinology visit in the past year. Patients saw physician extenders (CDCES and/or a PharmD) for diagnostic CGM placement and education on nutrition, medication administration, and physical activity goals based on the PCP’s recommendations. The CDCES or PharmD reviewed CGM data with patients and collaborated with PCPs to adjust the care plan, informed by the systematic stepwise approach to CGM interpretation taught to the PCPs. Patients either converted to personal CGMs if desired or had a second professional CGM placed ≥ 1 month from the diagnostic and obtained a post-intervention HbA1c ≥ 3 months from the initial HbA1c measurement. Follow-up continued with the CDCES and/or PharmD until patients met the study discharge criteria of HbA1c ≤ 7%.

RESULTS

CGM users (n=46) were [mean (SD)] 62.39 (±14.57) years of age and 30.43% female. Time in range (TIR) increased by 28.06% from 43.25% (±33.41) at baseline to 71.31% (±25.49) post-intervention (P <.001), due to reduced hyperglycemia (Table 2). The proportion of CGM users meeting the consensus target of TIR ≥70% increased from 23.81% to 57.14% (P<.001). Post-intervention, HbA1c decreased an average of 2.37 from 9.68 (±1.78) to 7.31 (±1.32) (P<.001).

CONCLUSIONS

Integration of CGM into primary care clinics to increase patient access is feasible and effective using a multidisciplinary approach.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to explore how AI tools influence the academic performance of medical students by identifying key applications, benefits and challenges and providing an integrative perspective on their role in medical education.

METHODS

A scoping review was conducted based on empirical studies, systematic reviews and case studies published between 2014 and 2024. Studies were identified through PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, using search strategies developed with AI assistance. Eligible studies involved medical students or trainees and evaluated the impact of AI on academic performance, simulations, and clinical skills development.

RESULTS

Initially 173 studies were identified, of which 108 met the inclusion criteria after screening. The final analysis included eight studies. Key findings showed that AI-enhanced teaching methods significantly improved academic performance compared to traditional approaches. In addition, AI-based simulations and personalized learning platforms contributed to improved practical skills and knowledge retention.

CONCLUSIONS

AI has demonstrated considerable potential to enhance medical education by improving academic performance and practical skills. However, challenges remain, including the need for formal AI education in medical curricula and careful evaluation of the effectiveness of AI tools. Further research is needed to explore the role of AI in specific areas of medical education and ensure its appropriate integration orinto educational systems.
To Study the Mechanical Properties of Concrete Using Coconut Fibre Ash & CRT Powder with Addition of Asbestos Fiber
Authors: Singh Sumer
Published: December 2024

One of the ongoing issues with global sustainability in the twenty-first century is concrete. Cement has the highest
carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption of all the components used in concrete, which include water, fine aggregates,
cement additives, and cement itself. Cathode-Ray Tube (CRT) technology has fallen behind as new technologies like Liquid
Crystal Displays (LCD) and LED Display Panels are constantly replacing it. As a result, there are more CRTs that need to be
disposed of annually worldwide. It can modify the physical property of concrete. Use and Recycling of CRT Tube also reduce
environmental hazard. Coconut coir fiber ash in concrete construction is an alternative of cement, coconut fiber ash has a good
tendency when uses as a partial replacement for cement. Cement being costly material, so if partially replaced by coconut fiber
ash can reduces the cost of concrete. The heat of hydration is decreased, which help in improving the drying, shrinkage and
facilitate durability of the concrete mix. Coconut Fiber Ash has a tendency to increase Compressive, tensile, and flexural
strength. Asbestos fibers were historically used as an additive in concrete to enhance its properties, primarily its tensile strength
and resistance to cracking. The mechanical qualities of concrete, such as its tensile strength, durability, and fire resistance, were
successfully improved with asbestos fibers. Because of this, asbestos-reinforced concrete gained popularity in the middle of the
20th century for a variety of building uses. This project's aim is to stop environmental damage caused by inappropriate disposal
by employing it as an additional material in specially developed by Coconut Fiber Ash and CRT. The 11% of Coconut Fiber Ash
and CRT powder replace with cement and with addition of 0.8% Asbestos fibers. Fiber were used as reinforcement. The
compression strength test, flexural strength test, and split tensile strength test were used to determine the maximum proportion of
replacement

Influence of Indian Culture on Indonesia
Authors: Pathak Sunil
Published: December 2024

The relationship between India and the Indonesian archipelago has spanned thousands of years, reflecting a rich exchange of culture, religion and trade. Since ancient times, Indian traders have been in contact with the Indonesian archipelago, bringing with them influential commodities and ideas, including Hinduism and Buddhism. The resulting acculturation process resulted in a unique civilisation in the Indonesian archipelago, which is reflected in art, architecture and literature. In addition, shipping in the Strait of Malacca and its surrounding waters became an important route for the spice trade, further strengthening economic ties between the two regions. This paper will examine India's influence on Indonesian archipelago culture from an Indian perspective. The research uses qualitative methods to explore the historical relationship between India and the Indonesian archipelago, focusing on the cultural, religious and trade exchanges that have taken place over thousands of years. The most obvious Indian influence on the Indonesian archipelago is a matter of belief, from which came several other influences such as writing, language, architecture and art. Furthermore, Indian influence is not only found in the Indonesian archipelago, but some findings from the Indonesian archipelago are also found in India.

Experimental study of the shadow effect on a monocrystalline silicon photovoltaic module
Authors: Bounechba Hadjer , Boussaid Abdelfettah , Benlabed Wassim , Mouat Nidal
Published: December 2024

The ultimate component of photovoltaic energy conversion into electrical
power is the solar cell. The best efficiency of this conversion is obtained
for a group of few cells in parallel or in series, forming what is called ?a
solar module?. This grouping requires special precautions in order to avoid
panel degradation, occurring when the amount of incident radiation received
by a photovoltaic module is not the same (Shading Effect). This results in a
dispersion of cell parameters, some cells become resistive and heat up (hot
spots), thus producing significant power dissipation and reducing the
characteristics of the PV module. In order to preserve the solar panel and
lessen the shadow affect, bypass diodes are utilized. In the present
research, a Matlab/Simscape model is used to plot I-V and P-V panel
characteristics, under different numbers of shaded cells, with and without
bypass diodes to illustrate the effects of partial, total and random shading
on the PV module performance. Furthermore, our aim is to show how adding
bypass diodes changes the performance of a partially shaded solar system.
Experimental tests were carried out within the Fr?res Mentouri Constantine 1
University of Constantine / Electrical Engineering Laboratory (LEC) in order
to study the effects of total, partial and non-uniform shading of mono
crystalline silicon photovoltaic module (80W) with 36 cells connected in
series (every 18 cells in the panel have one bypass diode). The obtained
experimental data indicate that the PV module power decreases up to almost
50% in case of full shading, and up to 30% in case of application of partial
shading.

Authors: Indoonundon Deevya , Fowdur Tulsi , Soyjaudah Sunjiv
Published: December 2024

One of the most popular video coding standards in use today is High
Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC), also known as H.265. In this paper, a novel
Flexible Macroblock Ordering (FMO) scheme known as Super frame FMO (SFMO) is
proposed for HEVC video compression. The SFMO scheme is combined with a
concealment aware Unequal Error Protection (UEP) scheme using RS codes and
interleaved to improve the performance of the RS decoder. Moreover, Multiple
Description Coding (MDC) is used to further improve its performance. The
simulation results have shown that the proposed system surpassed an Equal
Error Protection (EEP) scheme by an average gain of 3.02 dB in the range of
0.1 ? Packet Loss Rate ? 0.5 with FLI (Frame Level Interleaving)- SFMO.
Additionally, the FLI-SFMO scheme outperformed Explicit Chessboard- Wipe
(ECW) FMO by an average gain of 1.48 dB.

1442 participants were randomly assigned to one of four interventions:

- MET (1700 mg/day)+MedDiet intervention;

- Placebo+MedDiet intervention;

- MET (1700 mg/day) alone;

- Placebo alone.

Participants were followed-up for 3 years on average. The primary outcome was the cumulative incidence of major non-communicable diseases (including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer). Secondary outcomes were the incidence of type 2 diabetes and the changing prevalence of metabolic syndrome.

RESULTS

The crude incidence of the major non-communicable diseases was 6.7 cases per 100 person-year in the MET+MedDiet group, 6.9 in the MET, 13.3 in the placebo+MedDiet, and 11.3 in the placebo. The difference was totally explained by the reduction of type 2 diabetes, which was 80% and 92% lower in the MET and MET+MedDiet groups respectively compared to placebo.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of 1700 mg/day of MET is effective to prevent diabetes in people selected on the basis of metabolic syndrome.

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar de forma integral el melanoma cutáneo, enfocándose en su manejo clínico, prevención y la influencia de factores genéticos y ambientales en su desarrollo. En primer lugar, se describen las características del melanoma, sus principales tipos y su epidemiología, destacando su alta mortalidad pese a representar un bajo porcentaje de los cánceres de piel. Luego, se abordan los factores genéticos, incluyendo mutaciones específicas y síndromes hereditarios que aumentan el riesgo de melanoma, así como factores ambientales como la radiación ultravioleta y el uso de camas de bronceado. Además, se examina la interacción entre factores genéticos y ambientales, mostrando cómo la predisposición hereditaria combinada con la exposición solar incrementa la probabilidad de desarrollar melanoma.

El artículo también propone estrategias de prevención primaria y secundaria, subrayando la importancia de la educación pública, el uso de protección solar y los autoexámenes. Finalmente, se revisan los métodos de diagnóstico y los tratamientos actuales, tales como cirugía, inmunoterapia y terapias dirigidas, evaluando su efectividad en distintos estadios del melanoma. El artículo concluye que la combinación de estrategias de prevención, diagnóstico temprano y tratamiento personalizado es esencial para reducir la mortalidad asociada al melanoma y mejorar el pronóstico de los pacientes.

Determinants of Bond Performance (Study of Companies Listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange)
Authors: Andarwati Andarwati
Published: December 2024

Bond ratings are critical for firms that issue them, as they reflect the company's risk level. A higher bond rating typically leads to lower costs for the company. Most investors tend to avoid bonds with poor credit ratings. This research aims to examine how profitability, liquidity, and leverage influence bond prices, using bond ratings as a key variable. The study population comprises all firms listed on the Indonesian stock market from 2019 to 2021, totaling 116 entities. Through purposive sampling, the research focused on 72 companies that met specific criteria: firms that issued reports in rupiah, generated profits, and were rated by PT Pefindo. The study employed path analysis to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal that profitability, liquidity, and leverage have minimal impact on bond ratings. Furthermore, changes in liquidity and leverage do not affect bond prices. However, profitability and bond ratings significantly influence bond prices. The study also shows that bond ratings do not mediate the effects of liquidity and leverage on bond prices. Nonetheless, bond ratings reflect the yield of bond prices. In conclusion, this study finds that while profitability, liquidity, and leverage do not significantly affect bond ratings, bond prices are influenced by profitability and bond ratings. The practical implications suggest that bond ratings and bond prices play a pivotal role in enhancing company performance, particularly in terms of managing liquidity to meet interest and installment obligations and leveraging strategies to boost income.

Em tempos sombrios, diálogos ousados

Published: December 2024

Neste artigo, propomo-nos a analisar o lugar que a interdisciplinaridade ocupa no pensamento freiriano e as relações que existem entre a concepção libertadora, segundo Paulo Freire, e as categorias do interdisciplinar, organizadas por Ivani Fazenda. Para isso, refletimos também sobre o currículo dialógico como elemento essencial ao processo de humanização, o qual, atrelado à interdisciplinaridade, contribui para a construção do pensamento crítico-reflexivo, despertando-nos para o desejo de Ser Mais e mobilizando-nos para a emancipação social-política-histórica-ética, pois, ao assumirmos a docência como uma ação gnosiológica e de compreensão epistemológica, desenvolvemos, consequentemente, o processo de ensino-aprendizagem com vistas à ação transformadora e à equidade social.
