Comunicação do Diagnóstico da Síndrome de Down: Experiências de Mães e Médicos
Authors: Lunardi Rosani Viera , Danzmann Pâmela Schultz , Smeha Luciane Najar
Published: May 2023

O estudo teve como objetivo conhecer as experiências de mães e médicos em relação ao comunicado do diagnóstico da síndrome de Down (SD). Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória e transversal, com delineamento qualitativo. Participaram 9 mães e 7 médicos. Foram realizadas 16 entrevistas semiestruturadas individuais. Os dados foram transcritos e submetidos à análise de conteúdo temática. Constatou-se que, para mães e médicos, é uma experiência complexa e difícil, permeada por sentimentos ambivalentes. Nas mães, predominam a tristeza, medo e angústia. A maioria delas sentiram-se insatisfeitas na maneira como receberam o diagnóstico, isso foi atribuído por elas e pelos médicos à falta de preparo durante a formação profissional. Conclui-se que algumas sugestões podem nortear a comunicação do diagnóstico, no intuito de favorecer a elaboração do mesmo, a saber: respeitar o tempo para a mãe observar e conhecer o bebê antes de receber o diagnóstico, comunicar a mãe com sensibilidade e empatia, preferencialmente na presença do outro genitor e de um psicólogo, procurar dar ênfase aos aspectos positivos da saúde do bebê.

The Genesis of Managerial Influence on the Formation of Extracurricular Activities during the Independence of Ukraine (end of the ХХ th – beginning of the ХХІ st century)
Authors:   State Institution Luhansk Taras Shevchenko National University, Vorona Larysa
Published: May 2023

The article represents an analysis of formation and establishment of managerial influence and state educational policy during the independence of Ukraine (the late XX – early XXI centuries) regarding the out-of-school system, and emphasizes the importance of out-of-school education as an important component of the country’s national education system. It has been noted that in the context of the reform of the national education system, out-of-school education should become an important component of the educational structure of each region of the state. It has been shown that out-of-school education institutions should significantly complement school education, provide each student with the opportunity to determine preferences and realize their abilities, interests and commitment in the direction of activity. In the final result it can be the basis of student’s professional activity. The normative and legal framework that determines the direction and trends of the state’s educational policy, including out-of-school, has been highlighted. The author has singled out the stages of the formation of state policy in the field of out-of-school education, has emphasized the importance of support by the state government and local self-government bodies for the activity and development of out-of-school education institutions in the conditions of the transformation of the educational sector of Ukraine. It has been noted that an important direction of state policy and managerial influence in the field of out-of-school education is the adoption of state target programs as interconnected tasks and measures. They are aimed at solving the most important problems of the development of the state or its individual branches. An important stage in the implementation of the state educational policy is the approval and implementation of educational programs of each region. This contributes to the development of out-of-school system and the effectiveness of solving the main educational tasks in the context of reforming the national education system of Ukraine.

Childhood obesity: A societal safeguarding concern?
Authors: Cusack Philippa
Published: May 2023

Background:

Safeguarding referrals into the multi-agency safeguarding hubs (MASH) for overweight or clinically obese children are increasing, in line with national and global statistics. Childhood obesity reduces physical and mental health, social and education outcomes, and quality of life, all of which can last into adulthood.

Aims:

To explore if childhood obesity is a societal safeguarding concern.

Method:

A systematic literature search, using the following keywords: obese* child* safeguard*, child protection, BMI, adolescen* and youth. was employed using electronic databases.

Findings:

Substantial numbers of children are not meeting recommendations on daily physical activity, compounded by increased screen time. Current family therapies and lack of collaboration between services are not able to address childhood obesity.

Conclusions:

Childhood obesity is a societal multi-factorial safeguarding issue, requiring a holistic, collaborative approach. This could include bespoke collaborative interventions to increase self-determination in families throughout lifespan and protection of open and green spaces in education settings, for example.
Optically induced reconfigurable Kagome photonic lattice assisted by a liquid crystal spatial light modulator

Published: May 2023

A 2D Kagome photonic lattice possesses special band structures involving a flat band that allows the localization state and Dirac cones that show linear dispersion. Here, we report the construction of an instantaneously reconfigurable electromagnetically induced Kagome lattice in a Λ-type 85Rb atomic configuration theoretically and experimentally under the condition of electromagnetically induced transparency, which is excited by a weak Gaussian probe field and a strong coupling field with a Kagome intensity profile. The incident Gaussian probe field is discretely diffracted into a Kagome profile inside the atomic vapor cell with a spatially modulated susceptibility, which is induced by the structured coupling field generated by a liquid crystal spatial light modulator. We also explored the dynamical evolution of the probe field inside the Kagome photonic lattice by manipulating systematic parameters. This current work provides an alternative way to design instantaneously reconfigurable Kagome photonic lattices with a simplified experimental configuration. The instantaneous tunability may help to promote the discovery of underlying beam dynamics and the design of tunable devices relying on the properties of Kagome photonic structures.
Temporal synchronization between two Q switched pulses in a 1 × 2 array distribution inside a single YAG/Yb:YAG/Cr:YAG laser resonator
Authors: Park Seungtae , Kim Seungsoo , Kim Hyun Su
Published: May 2023

We propose for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a coupling method of modes guided by gain waveguides to synchronize two Q switched pulses oscillating in a 1 × 2 array distribution inside a single YAG/Yb:YAG/Cr:YAG resonator. To analyze the temporal synchronization of spatially separated Q switched pulses, the buildup time interval, spatial distribution, and longitudinal modes distribution of the two pulse beams are investigated.

The 1.5-µm fiber laser is widely used in the fields of laser lidar, remote sensing, and gas monitoring because of its advantages of being eye-safe and exhibiting low atmospheric transmission loss. However, due to the ∼1-µm amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of the Er/Yb co-doped fiber (EYDF), it is difficult to improve the laser power. Here, we simulated the effect of the Er3+ concentration and the seed power on ∼1-µm ASE, and fabricated a large mode area EYDF by the modified chemical vapor deposition process. Additionally, a piece of ytterbium-doped fiber was introduced into the master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration to absorb the generated ∼1-µm ASE simultaneously. Experimental results show that an output power of 345 W with a slope efficiency of 43% at 1535 nm is obtained in an all-fiber configuration, profiting from effective suppression of ∼ 1-µm ASE. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest output power available with an Er/Yb co-doped fiber from an all-fiber MOPA configuration.
Exploring relationships between HIV programme outcomes and the societal enabling environment: A structural equation modeling statistical analysis in 138 low- and middle-income countries
Authors: Loncar Dejan , Izazola-Licea Jose Antonio , Krishnakumar Jaya
Published: May 2023

Countries worldwide have attempted to reduce the incidence of HIV and AIDS associated deaths with varying success, despite significant progress in antiretroviral treatment (ART) and condom use. A chief obstacles is that key populations affected face high levels of stigma, discrimination and exclusion, limiting the successful response to HIV. However, a gap exists in studies demonstrating the moderation effects of societal enablers on overall programme effectiveness and HIV outcomes using quantitative methods.Structural Equation Modeling was used for 138 countries covering a 12-year period to examine how the unfavorable societal enabling environment, including stigma and discrimination, unfavorable legal environment and lack of access to societal justice, gender inequality and other unfavorable development situations affect the effectiveness of HIV programmes and HIV outcomes, while controlling for potentially confounding variables. The results only showed statistical significance when all four societal enablers were modeled as a composite. The findings show the direct and indirect standardized effects of unfavorable societal enabling environments to AIDS-related mortality among PLHIV are statistically significant and positive (0.26 and 0.08, respectively). We hypothesize that this may be because an unfavorable societal enabling environment can negatively affect adherence to ART, quality of healthcare and health seeking behavior. Higher ranked societal environments increase the effect of ART coverage on AIDS related mortality by about 50% in absolute value, that is -0.61 as against -0.39 for lower ranked societal environments. However, mixed results were obtained on the impact of societal enablers on changes in HIV incidence through condom use. Results indicate that countries with better societal enabling environments had fewer estimated new HIV infections and fewer AIDS-related deaths. The failure to include societal enabling environments in HIV response undermines efforts to achieve the 2025 HIV targets, and the related 2030 Sustainable Development indicator to end AIDS, even if sufficient resources are mobilized.

Introduction

There is currently no validated score capable of classifying cancer-associated pulmonary embolism (PE) in its full spectrum of severity. This study has validated the EPIPHANY Index, a new tool to predict serious complications in cancer patients with suspected or unsuspected PE.

Method

The PERSEO Study prospectively recruited individuals with PE and active cancer or receiving antineoplastic therapy from 22 Spanish hospitals. The estimation of the relative frequency θ of complications based on the EPIPHANY Index categories was made using the Bayesian alternative for the binomial test.

Results

A total of 900 patients, who were diagnosed with PE between October 2017 and January 2020, were enrolled. The rate of serious complications at 15 days was 11.8%, 95% highest density interval [HDI], 9.8–14.1%. Of the EPIPHANY low-risk patients, 2.4% (95% HDI, 0.8–4.6%) had serious complications, as did 5.5% (95% HDI, 2.9–8.7%) of the moderate-risk participants and 21.0% (95% HDI, 17.0–24.0%) of those with high-risk episodes. The EPIPHANY Index was associated with overall survival (OS) in patients with different risk levels: median OS was 16.5, 14.4, and 4.4 months for those at low, intermediate, and high risk, respectively. Both the EPIPHANY Index and the Hestia criteria exhibited greater negative predictive value and a lower negative likelihood ratio than the remaining models. The incidence of bleeding at 6 months was 6.2% (95% HDI, 2.9–9.5%) in low/moderate-risk vs 12.7% (95% HDI, 10.1–15.4%) in high-risk (p-value = 0.037) episodes. Of the outpatients, serious complications at 15 days were recorded in 2.1% (95% HDI, 0.7–4.0%) of the cases with EPIPHANY low/intermediate-risk vs 5.3% (95% HDI, 1.7–11.8%) in high-risk cases.

Conclusion

We have validated the EPIPHANY Index in patients with incidental or symptomatic cancer-related PE. This model can contribute to standardize decision-making in a scenario lacking quality evidence.
How doctors build community and socialize into a clinical department through morning reports. A positioning theory study
Authors: Møller Jane Ege , Skipper Mads , Sunde Lone , Sørensen Anita , Balslev Thomas , Andreassen Pernille , Malling Bente
Published: May 2023

Phenomenon

The morning report is one of the longest surviving hospital practices. Most studies of the morning report focus on the effectiveness of formal medical training, while focus on social and communicative aspects is rarer. This study explores the social interactions and communication in morning reports, examining the ways in which they contribute to the construction of professional identity and socialization into the community of the clinical department.

Approach

We used a qualitative explorative design with video observations of morning reports. Our data consisted of 43 video-recorded observations (in all, 15.5 hours) from four different hospital departments in Denmark. These were analyzed using the theoretical framework of positioning theory.

Findings

A key finding was that each department followed its own individual structure. This order was not articulated as such but played out implictly. Two alternative storylines unfolded in the elements of the morning report: 1) being equal members of the specialty and department, and 2) preserving the hierarchical community and its inherent positions.

Insights

The morning report can be seen as playing an important role in community making. It unfolds as a “dance” of repeated elements in a complex collegial space. Within this complexity, the morning report is a space for positioning oneself and others as a collegial “we”, i.e., equal members of a department and specialty, at the same time as “having a place” in a hierarchal community. Thus, morning reports contribute to developing professional identity and socialization into the medical community.

Published: May 2023

Introduction

Malaysia has the highest number of obese and overweight individuals in South-east Asia. The 2019 National Health & Morbidity survey found 50.1% of Malaysians to be overweight or obese with 30.4% being overweight and 19.7% being obese. This has led to the high rise of the bariatric surgeries demand and needs within the nation.

Aim & objectives

To assess the level of fasting blood sugar (FBS), systolic, diastolic blood pressure, stop BANG score for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and BMI (Body Mass Index) for the patients before and after bariatric surgeries (sleeve/gastric bypass) for a one year follow up period.

Material & methods

The study was conducted among 1000 patients who underwent a single weight reduction surgery (sleeve/gastric bypass) by a single surgeon at the Cengild Medical Centre between January 2019 to January 2020. They were followed up for a one-year period through recording the parameters of fasting blood sugar (FBS), systolic, diastolic blood pressure, stop BANG score for obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) and BMI (Body Mass Index). Study was conducted using universal sampling including all subjects visited the centre and a written consent was obtained from each participant. Descriptive statistics with mean was used and paired t-test was used for comparison and test the difference. The STOP-BANG acronym stands for: Snoring history, Tired during the day, Observed stop breathing while sleep, High blood pressure, BMI more than 35 kg/m2, Age more than 50 years, Neck circumference more than 40 cm and male Gender.

Results

The mean age of patients was 38 years old. Mean FBS for the patients one month before the operation was 10.42 mmol/L and 5.84 three months post procedure. The systolic blood pressure one month before the operation and 3 months after was 139.81 mmHg and 123.79 mmHg, while diastolic blood pressure was 86.84 mmHg and 81.07 mmHg respectively. BMI was reduced from 39.69 to 27.99 after one year from the weight reduction operation. All the above parameters showed a significant reduction between one-month pre operation as compared to 3 months and 12 months post operation and that improved the health parameters of the patients significantly.

Conclusion

The weight reduction operations showed a significant reduction in the FBS, blood pressure, OSA scores and BMI at 3, 12 months after the operation These patients had better overall health after the significant reduction in these parameters.
Graph-based extractive text summarization method for Hausa text
Authors: Bichi Abdulkadir Abubakar , Samsudin Ruhaidah , Hassan Rohayanti , Hasan Layla Rasheed Abdallah , Ado Rogo Abubakar
Published: May 2023

Automatic text summarization is one of the most promising solutions to the ever-growing challenges of textual data as it produces a shorter version of the original document with fewer bytes, but the same information as the original document. Despite the advancements in automatic text summarization research, research involving the development of automatic text summarization methods for documents written in Hausa, a Chadic language widely spoken in West Africa by approximately 150,000,000 people as either their first or second language, is still in early stages of development. This study proposes a novel graph-based extractive single-document summarization method for Hausa text by modifying the existing PageRank algorithm using the normalized common bigrams count between adjacent sentences as the initial vertex score. The proposed method is evaluated using a primarily collected Hausa summarization evaluation dataset comprising of 113 Hausa news articles on ROUGE evaluation toolkits. The proposed approach outperformed the standard methods using the same datasets. It outperformed the TextRank method by 2.1%, LexRank by 12.3%, centroid-based method by 19.5%, and BM25 method by 17.4%.
An analysis of retracted papers in Computer Science
Authors: Shepperd Martin , Yousefi Leila
Published: May 2023

Context

The retraction of research papers, for whatever reason, is a growing phenomenon. However, although retracted paper information is publicly available via publishers, it is somewhat distributed and inconsistent.

Objective

The aim is to assess: (i) the extent and nature of retracted research in Computer Science (CS) (ii) the post-retraction citation behaviour of retracted works and (iii) the potential impact upon systematic reviews and mapping studies.

Method

We analyse the Retraction Watch database and take citation information from the Web of Science and Google scholar.

Results

We find that of the 33,955 entries in the Retraction watch database (16 May 2022), 2,816 are classified as CS, i.e., ≈ 8%. For CS, 56% of retracted papers provide little or no information as to the reasons. This contrasts with 26% for other disciplines. There is also some disparity between different publishers, a tendency for multiple versions of a retracted paper to be available beyond the Version of Record (VoR), and for new citations long after a paper is officially retracted (median = 3; maximum = 18). Systematic reviews are also impacted with ≈ 30% of the retracted papers having one or more citations from a review.

Conclusions

Unfortunately, retraction seems to be a sufficiently common outcome for a scientific paper that we as a research community need to take it more seriously, e.g., standardising procedures and taxonomies across publishers and the provision of appropriate research tools. Finally, we recommend particular caution when undertaking secondary analyses and meta-analyses which are at risk of becoming contaminated by these problem primary studies.
Multiple co-frequency sources DOA estimation for coprime vector sensor arrays
Authors: Chen Xiao , Zhang Hao , Wang Zhen , Chen Yujie , Gao Yong
Published: May 2023

For the problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation using a coprime array, there are high spatial spectrum outputs of false alarms caused by the overlap of main and grating lobes from subarrays. In this paper, a DOA estimation method of more than two co-frequency sources for a coprime vector hydrophone array is proposed. The method is based on vector cross terms (VCTs), making full use of the directivity of channel combinations for vector hydrophones. Based on VCTs, the characteristic data point identification method is conducted and ensures that the bearing data with the characteristic can be preserved. For further interference rejection, the paper designs Queue Selection (QS) method based on inverse beamforming. The influence of grating lobes can be weakened with the QS, further improving the accuracy of direction extraction. The algorithm in this work does not require decoherence processing, and the simulation work shows that it achieves stable DOA estimation with a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Preferences Activism of Islamic Spiritual (Rohis) in Schools and Madrasas in Yogyakarta: From Narrative Islamism to Popular Culture
Authors: Rohinah Rohinah
Published: May 2023

Purpose – The existence of Rohis in schools and madrasas is often imaged as a movement for Islamization and school da’wah. However, globalization and modernization inevitably bring new directions for the next Rohis movement and is evident in its various activism. This study aims to determine the preferences of Rohis activism in schools and madrasas that have experienced a shift from Islamism “right” towards popular culture.

Design/methods/approach – This research method is a qualitative case study. The subjects of this research are Rohis activists in MAN 1 Yogyakarta and SMAN 5 Yogyakarta. This study collects data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation. Data analysis uses the Miles and Huberman model with interactive analysis through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusions.

Findings – The results of this study indicate that the Rohis’ activism preferences appear in the spaces they create as a form of negotiation between obedience and modernity, including manifesting in the form of religious events, the theme of the study, and the name of the program/division.

Research implications/limitations – The implications of this research in the world of education provide insight and views that modernization and globalization cannot be avoided, especially for Muslim youth who are members of Rohis.

Practical implications – This research shows that school policies are more progressive and responsive to changing times.
The Typology of Pesantren’s Islamic Thoughts in Java: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Ikhsanudin Muhammad , Syamsuddin Sahiron , Sunarwoto Sunarwoto
Published: May 2023

Purpose – This study aims to present a typology of Pesantren in the current modern era based on the basic ideas of each Pesantren. This study is essential as part of efforts to dynamize the development of Pondok Pesantren in Indonesia.

Design/methods/approach – Descriptive qualitative study is the method used in this research. The informants in this study are the leaders of Islamic boarding schools across Java. The data collection process uses in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. The data analysis process is based on Milles Huberman’s data analysis.

Findings – The typology formed from the results of observations is that there are three Pesantren, namely the first Pesantren, which remains restraining learning and preserves the classical Islamic inheritance with all educational instruments. Second, Pondok Pesantren accommodates the two mainstreams of thought, the social modernity and the social-humanity tradition, by founding official/formal schools or education and combining two intellectual traditions between Islamic tradition and Western tradition. Third, Pondok Pesantren developed the learning towards religious books or Kitab Kuning beyond the initial basis of the madhab era (The era of the school of scientific thought about Muslim laws).

Research implications/limitations – this research has implications for developing the broader characteristics of Islamic boarding schools. In addition, a complete understanding of the Islamic Boarding School was obtained. This study has limitations in the aspects observed. This study only observes the type of Islamic Boarding School typology seen from the form of educational thought that is developed.

Practical implications – This study provides a newer perspective regarding the typology of developing Pesantren and explains the importance of the role of Pesantren in the discourse of Islamic education in Indonesia.
Tracing Islamic Educational Values in Qur'anic Revelation and Compilation: A Historical Study
Authors: Ratnasari Dwi
Published: May 2023

Purpose – The purpose of this research is to explore the historical development of Islamic education values within the context of the Qur'anic revelation and its compilation. The study also aims to examine the significance of the Qur'an in shaping Islamic educational values and to trace the evolution of these values over time.

Design/methodology/approach – The historical research method was employed in this study to investigate the development of Islamic education values within the context of the Qur'anic revelation and compilation. Data collection involved various sources, including written materials such as Qur'anic manuscripts, history books, and literature on Islamic education, as well as oral sources such as interviews with experts on history and Islamic education.

Findings – The research findings suggest that the Qur'an has been the primary source of Islamic educational values and has had a significant impact on the development of Islamic education. The Qur'an has influenced the fundamental principles and values of Islamic education, including the pursuit of knowledge, moral values, and social justice. The study also shows that the evolution of Islamic education values has been influenced by historical events and changes in Islamic societies, but the basic principles have remained consistent over time.

Research implications/limitations – The limitations of the research are that it does not examine the long-term effects of internalizing Islamic moderation values on children's overall development and well-being and does not provide insights into the potential consequences or benefits of this process. Future research may need to investigate the long-term impact of these values to provide a more comprehensive understanding of their significance for the development of Muslim communities.

Practical implications – This research provides insights into the potential ways of integrating Islamic education values into modern educational settings and contributes to the development of more inclusive and culturally sensitive educational practices.

Respon Amina Wadud Terhadap Ulama Iran Berkaitan dengan Perempuan
Authors: Assri Bahy Chemy Ayatuddin
Published: May 2023

Abstrack: This paper attempts to explore Amina Wadud's response as a feminist figure to the justification of Iranian clerics, who in fact are dominated by men, for Islamic law relating to women, particularly in matters of divorce, polygamy, inheritance rights, and women's leadership. The position and role of Iranian women is determined by the clergy. The interpretation of religious texts often favors women, so that women's role is only in the family sector. Its interpretation tends to harm women. This interpretation comes because the clergy are dominated by men who are still hegemony by the patriarchal system. The approach used in this study is the historical-analytical approach. The result of the research is that the role of the clerics covers all sectors of society, even the dress code is regulated and limited. Ulama also play a role in interpreting religious texts, including Islamic law relating to women. Their interpretation is only for their own benefit. Amina Wadud disagrees with the gender biased interpretation. He emphasized that all verses must be revealed according to the time and situation in which they were revealed. However, the message contained is not limited to the time and historical setting.  Abstrak: Tulisan ini berusaha mengupas respon Amina Wadud selaku tokoh feminis terhadap justifikasi ulama Iran yang notabanenya didominasi oleh kaum laki-laki terhadap hukum Islam yang berkaitan dengan perempuan, khususnya dalam hal perceraian, poligami, hak waris, dan kepemimpinan perempuan. Posisi dan peran perempuan Iran ditentukan oleh para ulama. Interpretasi teks agama sering memojokan perempuan, sehingga peran perempuan hanya di sektor keluarga. Interpretasinya cenderung merugikan kaum perempuan. Interpretasi ini datang karena ulama didominasi oleh laki-laki yang masih terhegemoni oleh sistem patriarki. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu pendekatan historis-analitis. Hasil penelitian yaitu peran ulama-ulama meliputi semua sektor masyarakat, bahkan sampai tatacara berpakaian pun diatur dan dibatas. Ulama-ulama pun berperan dalam menginterpretasikan teks-teks agama, termasuk hukum Islam yang berkaitan dengan perempuan. Penafsiran mereka hanya untuk kepentingan sendiri. Amina Wadud tidak setuju dengan penafsiran yang bias gender. Ia menegaskan bahwa semua ayat harus dipaparkan menurut waktu dan situasi turunnya. Namun, pesan yang terkandung tidak terbatas pada waktu dan suasana sejarahnya.

A exclusão social e educacional de jovens e adultos das camadas populares no Brasil, agravada pela exclusão digital, tem dificultado e impedido o acesso a direitos humanos e fundamentais. Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar o(s) papel(éis) das tecnologias analógicas e digitais em políticas de Educação de Pessoas Jovens e Adultas (EPJA) no Brasil em diferentes períodos históricos. O referencial teórico baseia-se em quatro campos de estudos que se inter-relacionam nesta pesquisa: EPJA, decolonialidade, letramentos e tecnologias em educação. A metodologia segue os aportes da pesquisa documental, tendo sido analisados documentos relativos a: Escolas radiofônicas, Plano Nacional de Alfabetização, Mobral, Projeto Minerva, Telecurso, Fundação Educar, Programa Alfabetização Solidária, Pronera, Programa Brasil Alfabetizado, Projovem, Proeja, Pronatec e Ejatec. Como resultados, identificamos que as tecnologias desempenharam papéis divergentes em decorrência de usos, significados e sentidos tecnicistas ou emancipatórios a elas atribuídos e da qualidade da infraestrutura, conteúdos e recursos tecnológicos disponíveis. O estudo traz contribuições para a problematização de práticas descontextualizadas e massificadoras envolvendo tecnologias digitais da informação e comunicação e argumenta a favor de sua integração ao currículo da EPJA, de forma crítica, autoral e transformadora.
Letramentos de mulheres sobreviventes do sistema prisional em processo de remição de pena: Uma perspectiva decolonial
Authors: Kleiman Angela Bustos , Santos-Marques Ivoneide Bezerra de Araújo
Published: May 2023

Neste artigo, temos por objetivo analisar resultados de um projeto de letramento desenvolvido com um grupo de mulheres egressas do Sistema Prisional do Rio Grande do Norte/Brasil, as quais se encontram, atualmente, em cumprimento de pena no regime aberto. Assumindo uma perspectiva decolonial (Quijano, 2005) e com base numa abordagem crítica e emancipatória (Freire, 1978), como um mecanismo de reinserção de presas, são analisados dados que resultam de um estudo realizado com um grupo de 20 mulheres vinculadas ao Projeto Alvorada, participantes de um curso de formação profissional ofertado na modalidade de Educação Profissional integrada à Educação de Jovens e Adultos pelo Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte em parceria com o Departamento Penitenciário Nacional (DEPEN). A pesquisa ancora-se nos estudos de letramento de vertente sociocultural, foi desenvolvida no campo da Linguística Aplicada em uma abordagem metodológica qualitativa e interpretativa, com dados gerados a partir de diferentes instrumentos de pesquisa (questionário, depoimentos, textos escritos, fotos, vídeos etc.). Os resultados apontam a necessidade de se repensar políticas de letramento nas prisões, uma vez que elas, além de escassas, quando desenvolvidas em uma abordagem instrumental, não dão conta dos interesses e necessidades das mulheres, não contribuem, de forma mais efetiva, para ampliar sua formação leitora e escritora nem para seu processo de humanização por falta de compromisso com a formação crítica delas.
Literacidad y decolonialidad en la educación de jóvenes y adultos: Crónica de un encuentro en Iztapalapa, México
Authors: Hernández-Zamora Gregorio
Published: May 2023

La investigación sobre Educación de Jóvenes y Adultos (EDJA) en contextos no escolares ha cuestionado los supuestos clave de las políticas y discursos dominantes de la EDJA que en México y otros países aún se concibe como un servicio remedial. Este artículo presenta un ejemplo del trabajo educativo de una organización de base enfocada en la promoción de la salud en Iztapalapa, México, el barrio más sobrepoblado, caótico, peligroso e históricamente marginado de la Ciudad de México. Con base en observación de eventos y entrevistas con habitantes y educadores populares se hace la crónica detallada de un encuentro masivo del Movimiento de Salud Popular (MSP), red de sanadores y educadores populares en donde se hacen evidentes prácticas de literacidad crítica e implícitamente decolonial a través de talleres educativos y terapias alternativas que facilitan el contacto entre residentes locales de baja escolaridad y educadores populares de alta escolaridad y con formación crítica. La investigación ilustra el tipo de alternativas educativas y pedagógicas de base que en Latinoamérica buscan desarrollar un pensamiento crítico e implícitamente decolonial, enfocado en cambiar la autopercepción de personas de baja escolaridad y bajo estatus socioeconómico para convertirlas en agentes transformadores de sus propias vidas y de sus comunidades.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo apresentar o dossiê, “Educação de Pessoas Jovens e Adultas (EPJA), Letramentos e Decolonialidade.” Inicialmente, o artigo aborda o eixo que unifica os artigos, a EPJA, as perspectivas teóricas e os conceitos centrais advindos das teorias decoloniais e dos estudos do letramento, que orientaram a organização deste dossiê, bem como problemáticas que afetam o campo da EPJA, na América Latina. Em seguida, são apresentadas e discutidas as eleições teórico-metodológicas, éticas e políticas mobilizadas nos artigos. Ao final, são traçados os principais potenciais dos estudos do letramento e das teorias decoloniais, para informar pesquisas e proposições de políticas públicas na EPJA.
Ensuring the efficiency of the system of technical maintenance and repair of transport and technological mashines

Published: May 2023

Current situation with the fleet of transport and technological machinery in Ukraine requires an individual approach to evaluating the effectiveness of its maintenance and repair system.
The article is devoted to the issue of selecting the most effective option for the use of transport and technological machinery taking into account the specific conditions of its operation characterized by certain risks and uncertainties, and considering the real volumes and age structure of the fleet. Solving this problem requires substantiation of management models of maintenance and repair processes. It is necessary to provide scientifically based methods of managing the system of technical maintenance (TM) and repair of transport and technological machinery (RTTM) using specific methods of an individual approach to the technical and economic evaluation of the effectiveness of maintenance and RTTM processes which are adapted to the modern conditions of its operation.
The article presents the results of the research, which was carried out using the basics of system analysis, the theory of decision-making under the conditions of uncertainty, and the basics of multi-criteria analysis.
In the course of research, an analytical management model of the maintenance and repair system operation was formed that reveals the sequence of implementing the management methodology, which makes it possible to assess its state in successive discrete states, to promptly take into account the effect of external influencing factors and make corrections, which, in turn, allow increasing the validity of strategic decisions aimed at increasing the effectiveness. A numerical calculation was performed, which allowed us to conclude that the value of maintenance intervals has a significant impact on the indicator of effectiveness. Adjusting this value makes it possible to optimize maintenance and repair processes.
