Authors: Al-Ghaili Abbas M. , Kasim Hairoladenan , Aris Hazleen , Al-Hada Naif M.
Published: December 2022

The use of conventional fossil-fuel vehicles in the transportation industry contributes to climate change. The energy producing sector has actually adjusted its strategy to utilize more renewable energy to satisfy the energy demand as a result of this change in strategy. The use of electric vehicles (EVs) in the transportation network has also helped to reduce pollution from the energy industry. However, the distribution network would be placed under a lot of stress if a lot of EVs are attached to it, which might cause a number of problems and worries. However, several initiatives have been made in this direction to help find answers to these issues. The contribution of this review article is that, a number of the benefits of using the employed EVs techniques for the purpose of utilizing renewable energy sources (RESs) towards the accomplishment of a sustainable energy goal for a green environment in the so foreseeable have been highlighted; aiming to provide a larger variety of readers insights and suggestions for future research development. There have been a number of studies that have recommended various ideas and strategies for a reliable renewable energy supply. Their findings have been published in scientific journals. But the relationship between RESs and EVs in terms of energy efficiency is still needed to be further investigated to shorten such a gap in order to assess how EVs can help RESs achieve energy sustainability. Besides, the purpose of this study is to identify and assess the most recent advances and methodologies in the field. It's been possible to use numerous EV technologies to help with various problems and challenges, including the need for quick EV charging stations. However, there is a worry over the viability and applicability of EV-applied technologies that are ideally suited towards greater and more efficient usage of RESs in order to either attain or contribute to energy sustainability. In this article, we will discuss a variety of EV technologies that have been used in the past and contributed to the development of RESs. The method has applied the PRISMA 2020 strategy for inclusion and exclusion criteria. Also, the method has used specific keyword related to the topic including "electric vehicles" and "renewable energy sources". It is found that EVs can be an effective alternative for currently used fossil-fuel vehicles due to a set of reasons highlighted in this review including fast EV charging stations, efficient design for PV solar panels, and effective utilization of RESs.
Identification and classification of heat pump problems in the field and their implication for a user-centric problem recognition
Authors: Weigert Andreas
Published: December 2022

Heat pumps are at the heart of the transition to sustainable heating in buildings. Yet, minor installation and setting errors add to unnoticed performance drops over the system’s lifetime. With the advent of smart meters that constantly measure electricity consumption, data patterns of heat pumps have become available, even for the many not connected to the Internet. These data hold the potential to monitor heat pumps continuously, identify issues, and thus assist energy consultants and heat pump owners in lifting hidden conservation potential. Yet, research and practice lack an overview of specific problems that could help in this task. In a mixed-method approach, this study investigated 228 protocols of on-site heat pump inspections in Switzerland and found 47 problem classes with varying frequencies. Based on this empirical data and expert interviews, a classification scheme for heat pump issues is proposed and validated. It uncovers the cause of problems, how and by whom they can be recognised and solved, and potential benefits. The work demonstrates that (i) several problems are likely to create smart meter patterns and that (ii) heat pump owners could be involved in the problem recognition and solving process if they get guidance (i.e. simple rules and instructions). Finally, this study discusses implications for developing information systems to automate and assist the recognition and solving of problems. Such information systems may raise not only the attention of heat pump owners but also trigger desired actions (i.e. request consultancy, inspect heat pump themselves).

Objective:

To evaluate treatment outcomes in patients from a low-middle income country (LMIC) with esophageal carcinoma who underwent esophagectomy after neoadjuvant chemoradiation (NACRT/S).

Methods:

Between 2010 and 2020, 254 patients (median follow-up: 53 months) met our inclusion criteria. Out-of-field nodal regions were determined by reviewing individual radiotherapy plans. Cox regression modelling was performed to analyze overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS), while pathological complete response (pCR) prediction utilized Poisson regression.

Results:

The median OS was 71.4 months (interquartile range: 19.6–∞), RFS did not reach the median and pCR rate was 46%. On multivariable Cox regression, BMI [0.93 (0.89–0.98); 0.94 (0.89–0.99)] and absence of out-of-field node with extranodal extension (ENE)[0.22 (0.09–0.53); 0.30 (0.12–0.75)] influenced OS and RFS, respectively. Age [1.03 (1.01–1.06)], nodal stage [cN2-3 vs cN0: 2.67 (1.08–6.57)] and adventitial involvement [2.54 (1.36–4.72)] also influenced OS, while involved margins [3.12 (1.24–7.81)] influenced RFS. On multivariable Poisson regression, non-CROSS-chemotherapy regimens [0.65 (0.44–0.95)] and residual primary disease on pre-surgical imaging [0.73 (0.57–0.93)] were significantly associated with pCR. The most frequently involved in-field and out-of-field nodal regions were the periesophageal and perigastric (greater and lesser curvature) regions, respectively.

Conclusion:

NACRT/S is feasible and effective in patients from LMIC. Out-of-field ENE merits further investigation as a prognostic factor since it significantly influenced both OS and RFS.

Advances in knowledge:

The results of clinical trials are replicable in LMICs. Out-of-field ENE is an independent prognostic factor for OS and RFS.

Περίπου το 40% των γεφυρών στο ευρωπαϊκό δίκτυο μεταφορών είναι τοξωτές γέφυρες (οι περισσότερες κατασκευάστηκαν πάνω από 100 χρόνια) οι οποίες υπόκεινται σε συνεχώς αυξανόμενα φορτία. Η αξιολόγηση της αντοχής σε κόπωση γεφυρών από τοιχοποιία είναι απαραίτητη για να διασφαλιστεί ότι τα αυξημένα κυκλοφοριακά φορτία δεν οδηγούν σε πρόωρη φθορά και/ή μείωση του προσδόκιμου ζωής τους. Η μελέτη διερευνά την επίδραση του θλιπτικού φορτίου κόπωσης στη συμπεριφορά και τις μηχανικές ιδιότητες της χαμηλής αντοχής τοιχοποιίας από οπτόπλινθους, που σχετίζονται με τα δομικά φέροντα στοιχεία, για παράδειγμα το τόξο δακτύλιο σε γέφυρες τοιχοποιίας καναλιών.Τα πρίσματα τοιχοποιίας δοκιμάστηκαν (n=70) υπό οιονεί-στατική και μακροχρόνια φόρτιση κόπωσης για τη συλλογή πληροφοριών σχετικά με τον αριθμό των κύκλων φόρτισης υπό ένα εύρος τάσεων, τις αλλαγές στις καμπύλες τάσης-παραμόρφωσης, την εξέλιξη της παραμόρφωσης και του μέτρου ελαστικότητας κατά την εξέλιξη της φθοράς λόγω κόπωσης. Οι εργαστηριακές δοκιμές πραγματοποιήθηκαν υπό μέγιστα επίπεδα τάσης μεταξύ 55-80% της θλιπτικής αντοχής, υπό συχνότητα 2Hz για μέγιστο 107 κύκλους φόρτισης. Τα πειραματικά δεδομένα επεξεργάστηκαν για την ανάπτυξη αναλυτικών σχέσεων για την πρόβλεψη της απόκρισης της τοιχοποιίας υπό φορτία κόπωσης. Τα αποτελέσματα των δοκιμών αποκαλύπτουν ότι η φθορά λόγω κόπωσης χαρακτηρίζεται από τρία διακριτά στάδια στην εξέλιξη της παραμόρφωσης και στις καμπύλες τάσης-παραμόρφωσης. Το μέτρο ελαστικότητας μειώθηκε κατά 25%, ενώ η μέγιστη καταγεγραμμένη αξονική παραμόρφωση αυξήθηκε έως και 5,25 φορές. Μια μαθηματική σχέση για τις καμπύλες τάσης - αριθμός κύκλων - πιθανότητας (S-N-P) προτάθηκε βάσει πιθανοτικής ανάλυσης για την πρόβλεψη της διάρκειας ζωής της τοιχοποιίας υπό κόπωση με οποιαδήποτε επιθυμητή πιθανότητα. Συνολικά αναπτύχθηκε ένα σύνολο τριών σχέσεων για την πρόβλεψη της εξέλιξης των παραμορφώσεων σε διαφορετικά στάδια της διάρκειας ζωής υπό κόπωση και προέκυψε μια γραμμική εξίσωση για την εξέλιξη του μέτρου ελαστικότητας. Το προτεινόμενο μοντέλο S-N-P μπορεί να παρέχει αριθμητικά δεδομένα για ανάλυση κόπωσης τοξωτών γεφυρών τοιχοποιίας χαμηλής αντοχής, π.χ. για τη μέθοδο SMART για την αξιολόγηση της εναπομείνασας διάρκειας ζωής σε οποιοδήποτε επίπεδο κυκλοφοριακής φόρτισης. Ο ρυθμός μεταβολής της παραμόρφωσης μπορεί να παρέχει χρήσιμα δεδομένα αναφοράς για μακροπρόθεσμη παρακολούθηση για τον προσδιορισμό του σταδίου της διάρκειας ζωής κόπωσης που υπόκειται η κατασκευή. Ένας συντελεστής μείωσης του μέτρου ελαστικότητας μεταξύ 0,9-0,75, ανάλογα με το επίπεδο τάσης, μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί για την αξιολόγηση τοξωτών γεφυρών από τοιχοποιία υπό κυκλικά φορτία κόπωσης. Κατά συνέπεια, συνιστάται τα μοντέλα που περιγράφουν αλλαγές στις μηχανικές ιδιότητες της τοιχοποιίας με κύκλους φόρτωσης να μπορούν να προσαρμοστούν από πακέτα λογισμικού πεπερασμένων στοιχείων για την ανάπτυξη μοντέλων που εξαρτώνται από το χρόνο για την ανάλυση τοιχοποιίας υπό κόπωση.

Published: December 2022

Our work explores the possibilities of using cellular automata to simulate the predator-prey interaction. A cellular automaton is a discrete model that allows it to be used for various computational purposes. In recent years, we have observed how important it is to know the behaviour of various biological and ecological systems. Knowledge of the behaviour and evolution of different biological and ecological systems will allow us to adapt more quickly to different possible scenarios. Our work aims to simulate the behaviour of a predator-prey system using cellular automata and get realistic data from the simulation.

The effects of antiretroviral stockout on primary health care nurses in the Ethekwini and Ilembe districts, KwaZulu-Natal
Authors: Mahomed Farhana , Gumede Emelda Zandile
Published: December 2022

Background: Nurses face challenges of antiretroviral therapy (ART) stock out when rolling out, leading to drug resistance, poor compliance and decreased viral suppression. Poor viral suppression leads to higher morbidity and mortality rates, hence a need to strengthen supply chain principles in order to achieve equal distribution of resources amongst clinics.  Nurses also need to have relevant guidelines available to prevent treatment failure. The study aimed to describe the effects of ART stockouts on primary health nurses rolling out ART in clinics in KwaZulu Natal.

Methods: The study followed a qualitative approach, using a descriptive design. Two primary healthcare clinics in Ilembe and Ethekwini districts were selected for the study. The population comprised of 8 purposively selected participants. In-depth interviews and focus groups were conducted to describe the experiences of primary health care nurses rolling out antiretroviral therapy regarding stockout and how it was managed. Data collection and analysis followed Yates, Partridge and Bruce steps. Ethics and trustworthiness were maintained.

Results: The singular theme of inconsistent availability of treatment emerged, as well as sub-themes of means used to manage treatment stockout and supply change management issues.

Conclusions: An adequate supply of ART through an efficient supply chain management strategy, ongoing training in primary health care and nurse-initiated management of antiretroviral therapy and the availability of treatment guidelines should be enforced.

Published: December 2022

Background: Since the recommendation of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) to reduce the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV, a number of adolescent boys and men in 15 priority countries in Africa have been circumcised. Our primary goal was to identify the incidence of adverse events (AEs) associated with VMMC and to assess the safety profile among adolescent boys 10 – 14 years.

Methods: We searched the databases MEDLINE and Embase, WHO, and conference abstracts from 2005 to 2019. The incidence of AEs was estimated by type of AE, size of study and age.

Results: We retained 40 studies. Severe and moderate AEs overall were estimated at 0.30 per 100 VMMC clients with wide variability per study type. A higher rate was noted in small and moderate scale programmes and device method research studies compared with larger scale programmes. There was a limited number of studies reporting AEs among younger adolescent boys and they had higher infection-related AEs than those aged 20 years and older. Case studies noted rare AEs such as necrotizing fasciitis, tetanus, and glans injury.

Conclusions: AE rates were comparable to those from the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that led to recommendations and implementation of VMMC in high HIV burden countries, despite being implemented in low resource settings. Clients over time have increasingly included adolescents under the age of 15 years. Studies suggest potentially higher risks in this age group. As VMMC services are sustained, patient safety surveillance systems and promoting a patient safety culture are crucial to identify and mitigate potential harms from medical male circumcision.
Ethical consumption: why should we understand it as a social practice within a multilevel framework?
Authors: Karimzadeh Sara , Boström Magnus
Published: December 2022

This article discusses the importance of a multilevel and intertwined understanding of ethical consumption given its conjunction with other social practices. Although the literature on ethical consumption is vast, the role of sociotechnical regimes including technological and cultural elements, infrastructure, market and regulation has been mainly overlooked in this literature. This may be so because ethical consumption practices that refer to other-oriented consumption practices are mainly considered in the view of the motivations and preferences of individual consumers. Due to the insufficiency of individualistic approaches to explain stimulators and inhibitors of ethical consumption, indicates there might be “various constraints” in society and “competing demands” to hamper consumers from acting ethically. Therefore, to avoid an oversimplified view of ethical consumption, this paper contributes with a theoretical discussion on combining social practice theory (SPT) with a multi-level perspective (MLP). Although the SPT is a very well-structured framework in consumption studies, the necessity of a combined approach concerns the often-insufficient attention paid to structural prerequisites of various consumption forms in social practice theories. By understanding ethical consumption practices according to a multi-level framework, the paper emphasizes the importance of structural factors at macro- and mesolevels. It also contributes attention to how ethical consumption grows due to dialectical processes between levels, showing that niche practices can simultaneously challenge and rely on existing regimes.

Justification of the Need for Reengineering of Business Processes at Enterprises of the Russian Fuel and Energy Sector
Authors: Temukuev T.
Published: December 2022

The article considers the application of the process approach in the management of enterprises of the fuel and energy complex. In conditions when the fuel and energy sector plays a key role in the economy of a country like Russia, with increased uncertainty and complexity of forecasting changes in the external environment, it is necessary to develop new approaches to managing business processes in this area. The rapid transformation of the global balance in the energy market, the redistribution of forces and gravity points taking place at the moment, set new development goals for the entire industry as a whole and for individual companies. We should not lose sight of the sanctions pressure caused by the escalated political confrontation between Russia and Western countries.

It is proposed to identify key business processes at fuel and energy complex enterprises and to justify methodological approaches to their reengineering, taking into account the specifics of the industry and the need for a qualitative change in the behavior model of fuel and energy complex enterprises in new macroeconomic conditions.

Undergraduate student nurses’ perceptions of health visiting as a future career choice
Authors: Maddox Lisa
Published: December 2022

There is a shortage of health visitors in the UK due to attrition and a lack of new recruits to training. Until now, there has been little research into why qualified nurses are not training to become health visitors. Therefore, an online survey was conducted among undergraduate nursing students at a university to explore their perceptions of health visiting. The survey results show a lack of knowledge about health visiting and some misconceptions, particularly among mental health nursing students. Conclusions drawn from the study are that undergraduate student nurses would benefit from further exposure to health visiting during their nursing programmes.

Problematitzant els feminismes islàmics
Authors: Traidi Aida
Published: December 2022

Els feminismes islàmics argumenten que el missatge de la revelació alcorànica és garant dels drets de les dones. Aquest article discuteix els feminismes islàmics com a doble resistència: a les estructures colonials i als discursos patriarcals construïts en nom de l'islam. Pel que fa a les assumpcions orientalistes d’Occident, es qüestiona el domini de les estratègies dels feminismes hegemònics com a única forma d’emancipació vàlida. Quant a les estructures patriarcals islàmiques, es qüestiona tota la jurisprudència  elaborada des d’un punt de vista masculí. Lamrabet (2017) considera que el missatge original de l'islam ha estat distorsionat a causa del monopoli del coneixement religiós per part dels homes, que han fet una interpretació patriarcal que ha marginat el rol de la dona. Segons Grosfoguel (2014) i Adlbi (2017), hi ha hagut una distorsió colonial de la tradició musulmana que ha modificat aspectes de la mateixa teologia islàmica. En el cas del hijab, els imperis colonials han assumit un discurs de salvació. Alhora, algunes nocions islàmiques contemporànies del hijab redueixen tota l'ètica global de l'Alcorà al concepte del hijab. Quins espais han d'ocupar els feminismes islàmics? No totes les propostes que proporcionen són decolonials. Sovint no han aconseguit analitzar l'alliberament en els seus propis termes, fet que ha donat com a resultat reproduir les narratives definides per les normes hegemòniques de les societats occidentals. L'anàlisi de les propostes dels feminismes islàmics contribueix a examinar com poden transcendir l'àmbit del discurs i respondre a l'expressió de les aspiracions en termes autodefinits, reinterpretant el significat de les fonts sagrades de l'islam des d'una perspectiva de gènere amb l'objectiu de trobar l'esperit emancipatori del missatge espiritual de l'islam.

El actual escenario educativo convierte a los docentes en actores fundamentales, responsables de incluir progresivamente a la mujer indígena en el desarrollo y fortalecimiento de los sistemas educativos interculturales propios de sus comunidades. De la vinculación efectiva de instituciones, organizaciones, agentes, y de la sinergia en pro de acciones que respondan a las necesidades de los proyectos educativos institucionales en Colombia, se está logrando evolucionar hacia el nuevo paradigma educativo que, definitivamente, se interesaría más en la formación integral de la mujer indígena, donde los valores, principios e identidad cultural estaría definida para garantizar la incorporación en su proyecto de vida. La sincronía entre educación y feminismo conlleva al desarrollo de procesos pedagógicos integrales promoviendo un aprendizaje significativo que pueda fortalecer el engranaje de la mujer indígena en lo político y administrativo de su comunidad. Al mismo tiempo, se previene la violación de sus derechos mejorando su calidad de vida a futuro. No solo porque se llevan a la práctica las premisas de los feminismos comunitarios y decoloniales, sino porque se da valor a las voces de las mujeres. Así como se cuidan las comunidades a través de proteger los cuerpos de las mujeres, también se cuida el territorio y se repara la memoria de las vulneraciones sufridas históricamente. Al fortalecer los vínculos entre educación y feminismo se facilita la transformación sociocultural que necesitan las nuevas generaciones indígenas para preservar su legado ancestral en equilibrio con la madre tierra. La escuela se convierte en el escenario donde se entiende y se atienden los procesos que lesionan la forma de ser y estar en el mundo simbólico-cultural de las mujeres indígenas pertenecientes a comunidades racializadas en Colombia cuando se integra la perspectiva del feminismo interseccional.

Near-infrared quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy system for ppb-level methane detection
Authors: Zatorska Magdalena , Gomółka Grzegorz , Nikodem Michal
Published: December 2022

In this paper we present a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) of methane near 1651 nm. QEPAS is a high-sensitivity gas sensing method that relies on detecting acoustic waves generated by gas molecules. The sensor setup consists of a bismuth-doped fiber amplifier (BDFA) operating at 1651 nm that is used to enhance the amplitude of the QEPAS signal and increase the detection sensitivity. With the BDFA delivering ∼250 mW of optical power to the sample, the minimum detection limit of ∼11 ppb was achieved for the integration time of 150 s.

Higher-order exceptional points (EPs), which appear as multifold degeneracies in the spectra of non-Hermitian systems, are garnering extensive attention in various multidisciplinary fields. However, constructing higher-order EPs still remains a challenge due to the strict requirement of the system symmetries. Here we demonstrate that higher-order EPs can be judiciously fabricated in parity–time (

Zero-energy flatbands persist and symmetry-protected third-order EPs (EP3s) arise in these systems owing to the non-Hermitian chiral/sublattice symmetry, but distinct phase transitions and propagation dynamics occur. Specifically, the EP3 arises at the Brillouin zone (BZ) boundary in the presence of on-site gain/loss. The single-site excitations display an exponential power increase in the

-broken phase. Meanwhile, a nearly flatband sustains when a small lattice perturbation is applied. For the lattices with non-Hermitian couplings, however, the EP3 appears at the BZ center. Quite remarkably, our analysis unveils a dynamical delocalization-localization transition for the excitation of the dispersive bands and a quartic power increase beyond the EP3. Our scheme provides a new platform toward the investigation of the higher-order EPs and can be further extended to the study of topological phase transitions or nonlinear processes associated with higher-order EPs.

Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are widely used for the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases. However, recent studies have shown that chronic PPI use is associated with the progression of endothelial senescence and cerebrovascular diseases. We hypothesized that PPI users might be vulnerable to fast progression of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) with cumulative effects. Four hundred and eleven patients, who underwent brain magnetic resonance imaging, more than twice between January 2010 and December 2016 were screened. Patients aged < 50 years, and those who had concomitant diseases that might affect the progression of cerebral SVD were excluded. Baseline characteristics were collected. We evaluated the severity of SVD using the Fazekas score, the number of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs), and assessed the progression of SVD or CMBs based on the cumulative dose of PPIs. Among the included patients (N = 137), 39 were PPI ever-users. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that PPI use was independently associated with the progression of Fazekas score only in the deep white matter hyperintensities (WMH) (hazard ratio [HR] 2.891, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.210–6.906, P = 0.017). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, long-term PPI use was associated with a progression of Fazekas score in the deep WMH (HR 3.453, 95% CI 1.027–9.475, P = 0.045). However, PPI use was not associated with the progression of CMB. The present study results suggest that long-term use of PPIs is associated with the progression of deep cerebral WMH. Further research is needed using a large number of patients to validate this relationship.

Introduction

The goal in appendicitis is early diagnosis and early treatment. Complications develop as treatment is delayed. Therefore, there is a need for fast, low-cost markers that can be diagnosed earlier. The aim of this study is to show the effectiveness of immature granulocyte (IG) level in determining the complication of acute appendicitis.

Method

In this retrospective cross-sectional study, 99 patients with acute appendicitis and 41 control groups were included in the study. Acute appendicitis patients were divided into two groups as acute simple appendicitis(n = 65) and acute complicated appendicitis(n = 34). In all groups, demographic data, immature granulocyte (IG) count(x103/μL), IG ratio (IG%), white blood cell (WBC), polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PNL), lymphocyte, monocyte, platelet, mean platelet volume (MPV), ferritin levels were recorded. The blood analyses were performed the Mindray BC6800 automated hematology analyzer using standard laboratory protocols. All statistical testing was undertaken using IBM SPSS Statistics for Mac.

Results

Compared to the acute simple appendicitis, acute complicated appendicitis patients had significantly higher levels WBC, PNL, monocyte, IG count, and IG% (p = 0.009, p = 0047, p = 0.001, p = 0.018; respectively) while there was no significant difference in ferritin between groups (p = 0.49). In the ROC analysis, AUC value was found for IG count and IG% (0.893 and 0.725, cut-off 0.005 and 0.05; respectively) for acute appendicitis. The negative predictive value of IG for Acute Appendicitis was 85% and was the same as that of WBC. In acute complicated appendicitis, the AUC for IG and IG% was 0.796 (cut-off 0.02) and 0.693 (cut-off 0.2), respectively. Positive Likelihood Ratio (+LR; 2.1) value of IG was found higher than other complete blood count (CBC) tests.

Conclusion

The IG count is test with fast, more predictive value than another CBC tests, and without cost in the early diagnosis of acute complicated appendicitis. It is strong negative predictive test for Acute Appendicitis disease.
Texto y contextos del Diálogo para cantar de Lucas Fernández (Salamanca, 1514): entre cancionero y teatro
Authors: San José Lera Javier
Published: December 2022

De las siete piezas reunidas en la colección de Farsas y Églogas al modo pastoril y castellano de Lucas Fernández (Salamanca, 1514), la única que parece no responder a la condición de texto teatral es la titulada Diálogo para cantar. Las otras, con denominaciones diversas y no siempre precisas (comedia, farsa o cuasi comedia, égloga o farsa, auto o farsa, auto), responden netamente a las prácticas escénicas relacionadas con la liturgia (navideña o de Semana Santa), o con el espacio celebrativo cortesano de esponsales o de prácticas teatrales populares. La funcionalidad poética y musical de la pieza, formada por el villancico «Quién te hizo, Juan, pastor» y su glosa, es evidente e inseparable; menos evidente puede ser su funcionalidad dramática. Sin embargo, son los tres aspectos —poético, musical y teatral— los que deben ponerse sobre el tablero a la hora de caracterizar esta pieza y de tratar de definir su texto y sus contextos. Desde el Cancionero Musical de Palacio se difunde el villancico de base, con música atribuida a «Badajoz», y se recoge con breves glosas en cancioneros poéticos y musicales ibéricos posteriores. Lucas Fernández amplifica la glosa en forma de diálogo entre dos pastores y la dota de una funcionalidad teatral, convirtiendo al personaje de Juan Pastor en centro de un conflicto amoroso expresado líricamente, pero representable, acompañado de su música. La identificación de recursos de teatralidad en el texto de la glosa permite ubicar la pieza en un contexto performativo más complejo.
La poesía de los primeros Trastámara: la sucesión portuguesa y los primeros romances
Authors: Beltran Vicenç
Published: December 2022

El romance «Yo me estando en Tordesillas», por su carácter trunco y lo enigmático de su desarrollo, ha resultado ser un acertijo desde la publicación del romancero de Durán pues resultaba imposible identificar una «reina de Castilla, infanta de Portugal» que llegó a Coímbra, no pudo entrar en la ciudad y se refugió en un monasterio «que estava en el arrabal». El análisis de la guerra castellano-portuguesa por la sucesión de Fernando I permite identificarlo fácilmente con un episodio del conflicto, el fallido ataque a esta ciudad de 1384, pues sabemos por la crónica de Ayala que su esposa Beatriz, heredera del reino portugués, acompañaba a su marido Juan I de Castilla que reivindicaba para ambos la corona lusa y que, en febrero de este año, Coímbra les cerró las puertas y se alojaron en el monasterio de Santa Clara de Coímbra, en el arrabal de la ciudad.
Cinco poemas de Padilla en la versión del Ms. Reg.Lat. 1635
Authors: Botta Patrizia , Garribba Aviva , Vaccari Debora
Published: December 2022

En la entrega se estudia la difusión en Italia de los poemas de Padilla y se analizan las variantes de cinco textos documentados en los florilegios del autor (el Autógrafo y dos impresos por él cuidados) y en un cancionero conservado en Roma, el manuscrito de la Biblioteca Vaticana Reg.Lat.1635 que perteneció a la reina Cristina de Suecia. El códice es de origen andaluz y de fecha temprana (1570-1580) y pertenece, pues, a la misma época y a la misma zona en que se van formando las primeras colecciones de Padilla. Del cotejo entre los testimonios se concluye que este manuscrito nos guarda lecturas arcaicas y a menudo coincidentes con la redacción primitiva del Autógrafo de Padilla y asimismo que es depositario de estrofas y versos que se perdieron en el resto de la tradición.
Construção de valores socioambientais a partir dos quadrinhos:
Authors: Dos Santos Gomes Edgar , Aparecida Olendzki Broch Synara
Published: December 2022

Esta pesquisa produziu uma história em quadrinhos para auxiliar na construção da Educação Ambiental, porém, sem abrir mão do referencial curricular de Ciências do município de Campo Grande - MS. O objetivo do instrumento pedagógico que foi desenvolvido, é dar o passo inicial para que os alunos possam desenvolver reflexões sobre possíveis problemas ambientais com os quais possam se deparar no futuro. Após a leitura da história com os alunos, duas atividades foram solicitadas para verificar se houve de fato uma construção socioambiental com os participantes da pesquisa: um questionário e uma atividade colaborativa. Notou-se uma alteração considerável nas ideias âncoras dos estudantes, caminhando para o que é interessante no campo ambiental. Importa ressaltar, porém, que o processo é contínuo e o que foi realizado serve para apresentar uma alternativa para facilitar este caminho. Neste caso, o material se mostrou relevante para a inserção dessa temática no contexto escolar.
Compreensões dos professores de uma escola do campo no sul de Minas Gerais sobre a temática ambiental
Authors: Oliveira Fabiana Mara , Silva Luciano Fernandes , Santos Janaina Roberta dos
Published: December 2022

A crise ambiental já é o principal problema enfrentado pela humanidade. Reconhecemos que vários setores da sociedade, incluindo o campo da Educação, estão mobilizados para tentar compreender e enfrentar essa crise. De modo especial, destacamos que há escassa literatura sobre processos educativos envolvendo temas ambientais em contextos sociais diretamente envolvidos com lutas contra injustiças sociais e ambientais. Nesse contexto, elaboramos uma investigação que objetivou identificar e analisar compreensões sobre temas ambientais que são elaboradas por professores que atuam em uma escola do campo localizada em um assentamento do MST na região sul de Minas Gerais. Os resultados sugerem que os docentes elaboram discursos que vinculam problemas sociais e ambientais locais com aspectos macro socioeconômicos.
A temática da mineração na pesquisa em educação ambiental
Authors: Ribeiro Cardoso Viviane Amélia , Cosenza Rodrigues Angélica
Published: December 2022

O objetivo desde artigo é compreender como a mineração toma lugar em parte das produções de pesquisa em educação ambiental. Para isso, investigamos os anais do EPEA - Encontro Pesquisa em Educação Ambiental entre os anos 2001-2019, usando do referencial teórico metodológico da Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD) por meio de duas categorias construídas, as quais indicam relações da educação ambiental com impactos e conflitos ambientais advindos da mineração. A temática da mineração presente nos Anais do EPEA enuncia pesquisa sobre práticas educativas nas escolas e nos movimentos sociais. Sinalizamos neste artigo discursos ideológicos que operam sobre o campo da educação ambiental, assim como identificamos discursos que potencializam o desvelamento dos aspectos problemáticos da mineração.
Observação Participante e Cartas Pedagógicas:
Authors: Rosa Roberta Soares da , Hernandez Caporlingua Vanessa
Published: December 2022

No presente trabalho, propomo-nos a refletir sobre a colonialidade do saber e como ela está presente nas pesquisas em Educação Ambiental. Nesse sentido, sumarizamos duas técnicas de pesquisa participantes, Observação Participante e Cartas Pedagógicas, e analisamos os resumos de teses e dissertações defendidas no Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação Ambiental da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande – FURG entre os anos de 2005 e 2020, verificando se a Observação Participante e as Cartas Pedagógicas foram utilizadas enquanto técnica de pesquisa. Entre os anos de 2005 e 2020, nenhuma tese ou dissertação utilizou as Cartas Pedagógicas e apenas 5,8% das pesquisas analisadas utilizaram a Observação Participante, apontando para o potencial da utilização dessas técnicas como giro metodológico das pesquisas em Educação Ambiental.
Observações sobre abordagens da fauna silvestre na Educação Ambiental Crítica e transformadora
Authors: Moraes-Ornellas Valeria dos Santos
Published: December 2022

A Educação Ambiental Crítica e transformadora deve ser um processo de problematização do cotidiano, emancipação do sujeito e superação da tendência de se pensar o ser humano dissociado da natureza. O presente artigo busca nela por maneiras de estabelecer diálogos e ações que possam contribuir com a redefinição de relações que populações tradicionais da Amazônia desenvolvem com a fauna silvestre. Foi realizada pesquisa por mecanismos de busca online, a partir da qual se reuniram nove trabalhos, investigados através da Análise de Conteúdos. Os principais caminhos percorridos pelas pesquisas envolveram: organização de concepções de biodiversidade em categorias de sentido e metodologias participativas de reflexão crítica e de elaboração de materiais e espaços. As incertezas que persistem estão associadas a visões estereotipadas da natureza e a recorrência de aspectos da abordagem conservacionista mesmo entre as práticas da EA Crítica, dentre outras. A análise permite concluir que os caminhos já percorridos podem ser adaptados para a realidade Amazônica.

Mutations in the gene DHH are an extremely rare cause of disorders of sex development 46,XY (DSD,46XY). The article describes the clinical cases of two unrelated patients with gonadal dysgenesis 46,XY with female phenotype. By using a next generation sequencing method, in both cases the same biallelic variant substitution c. 419T>G in the DHH gene was revealed. Taking into account the data on the role of DHH in the formation of the nervous system, the diagnosis of minifascicular polyneuropathy at the preclinical stage was confirmed in both cases. These cases demonstrate the value of using NGS, which allows simultaneous analysis of a wide range of candidate genes in DSD and the diagnosis of comorbidities before the development of the clinical picture. These are the first descriptions of patients with mutations in the DHH gene in the Russian population.
