Von der Produkt- zur Prozessorientierung: (Info-)DaF-Trends in den 1990er Jahren
Authors: Witte Arnd
Published: November 2023

Die 1990er Jahre waren geprägt durch (a) die Diskussion einer Strukturreform des Faches DaF im Gefolge der Vereinigung Deutschlands, (b) das Aufkommen neuer technologischer Medien, (c) eine Neuorientierung interkultureller Lehr- und Lernprozesse hinsichtlich der Aufwertung der kulturellen Vernetzung der Lernenden sowie (d) eine generelle Verlagerung von der sprachlichen Produkt- zur psycholinguistisch geprägten Prozessorientierung des Lernkonzeptes in DaF-Theorie und -Praxis. Die Prozessorientierung erstreckte sich jedoch aufgrund des vorherrschenden mentalistischen Paradigmas nicht auf vorbewusste Prozesse des resonanten Leibes, obgleich sie die (inter-)subjektive Wahrnehmung strukturieren und Intentionalität orientieren. Im zweiten Teil des Artikels werden phänomenologische und neurophysiologische Forschungsergebnisse diskutiert, die nahelegen, dass die explizite Einbeziehung des handelnden Leibes in den Fremdsprachenunterricht einen konstruktiven Einfluss auf den Erwerb und die Retention des Erlernten hat, da das Erlernte sich in Leib und Kognition als multimodales semiotisches Repertoire ablagert.

Vielfalt, Erweiterung und ein Hauch von Mehrsprachigkeit – Eine subjektive Perspektive auf Entwicklungen im Fach Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache im Spiegel von Info DaF in den Jahren 2010–2020
Authors: Ballweg Sandra
Published: November 2023

Dieser Beitrag geht der Frage nach, welche Entwicklungen im Fach Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache in den Jahren 2010 bis 2020 im Spiegel der Zeitschrift Informationen Deutsch als Fremdsprache (Info DaF) sichtbar werden. Dabei werden drei Aspekte herausgegriffen, nämlich 1) die Erweiterung und Ausdifferenzierung der Themen und Forschungsgegenstände sowie der theoretischen und empirischen Zugänge, 2) die Erweiterung der betrachteten Lernkontexte, einschließlich digitaler, und 3) die Weiterentwicklung und Konsolidierung des Selbstverständnisses des Fachs. Abschließend wird mit Mehrsprachigkeit ein Thema diskutiert, das in der Fremdsprachenforschung und in der Linguistik in dem betrachteten Jahrzehnt zentral war und in Info DaF zwar in einigen Beiträgen erkennbar wird, aber bisher nicht im Fokus steht.
Introduction. Epigraphy, the Qurʾān, and the Religious Landscape of Arabia
Authors: Grasso Valentina A. , Davitashvili Ana , Abuhussein Nadja
Published: November 2023

A wide range of archaeological finds is rapidly expanding our knowledge of the pre-Islamic cultural milieu and the political structures of the Arabian Peninsula during Late Antiquity, and thereby of the Qurʾān’s cultural context. This material can offer a complementary reading to the literary accounts on pre-Islamic Arabia, which were mostly composed outside of Arabia or long after the late antique period. There is a growing need to make the recent exciting discoveries of scholars working on the Qurʾān and Arabia more widely accessible to historians who may not have a solid background in archaeology and epigraphy. As such, the ERC project “The Qur'an as a Source for Late Antiquity” (QaSLA) organized a conference, titled “Epigraphy, the Qur'an, and the Religious Landscape of Arabia”, which took place in Tübingen on 8 – 10 September 2022. The three-day international conference brought together specialists in epigraphy as well as scholars of the Qurʾān to explore how recent epigraphic and archaeological findings and research have been changing our understanding of the Qurʾān and the Arabian religious, cultural, and political landscape. Accordingly, the conference sought to integrate new archaeological finds with ongoing studies on the genesis of the Qurʾān, its Arabian background, and the broader cultural milieu of pre-Islamic Arabia with a special focus on the dawn of Islam. The conference also featured an important contribution by Peter Webb on pre-Islamic poetry, another neglected corpus of inquiry into the history of pre-Islamic Arabia. Aiming to foster discussion between scholars, each panel was paired with a specialist on the Qurʾān or the wider history of Arabia.
The Hajj Before Muhammad: The Early Evidence in Poetry and Hadith
Authors: Webb Peter
Published: November 2023

Scholarly debate on the nature of the Hajj before Muhammad and radical questions of whether Mecca was a ritual site at all in pre-Islamic times are answerable from the large corpus of pre-Islamic poetry, which has been underutilised as a source for pre-Islamic history. This paper reveals the poetry to be both a reliable and valuable witness. It demonstrates that the Hajj was performed in the generation before Muhammad in substantially similar terms to subsequent Muslim practice. Some modifications and shifts are discernible, but ritual continuity emerges as a major theme. The poetry also underscores the restricted ambit of the pre-Islamic Hajj: we uncover a highly-localised ritual followed primarily by groups living near Mecca – the expansion of the Hajj into a pan-Arabian phenomenon with an intimate role in informing communal identity and political power are new in the Islamic period. This paper closes with comparison of the poetry and hadith on the Hajj, which reveals a major Muslim-era reinterpretation of the pilgrimage as an Abrahamic rite.
The Development of the Hijazi Orthography
Authors: van Putten Marijn
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the main orthographic innovations of the early Islamic orthography in comparison to the Nabataean orthography and traces through new epigraphic evidence when and where these innovations came to be used. It is shown that a number of them clearly develop already in the pre-Islamic period. Besides this, the paper looks at the complexities of Arabic orthography and morphophonological spelling as it is reflected in the Quranic orthography as well as pre-Islamic inscriptions and argues that the early Islamic orthography represents the continuation of a developed Hijazi scribal tradition.

Published: November 2023

Recently, significant efforts have been devoted to guaranteeing high-quality communication services in fast-moving scenes, such as high-speed trains. The challenges lie in the Doppler effect that shifts the frequency of the transmitted signal. To this end, the recent emergence of spatiotemporal metasurfaces offers a promising solution, which can manipulate electromagnetic waves in time and space domain while being lightweight and cost-effective. Here we introduce deep learning-assisted spatiotemporal metasurfaces to automatically and adaptively neutralize Doppler effect in fast-moving situations. A tandem neural network is used to establish a rapid connection between on-site targets and time-varying series of spatiotemporal metasurfaces, endowing the capability of on-demand beamforming with Doppler effects offset. Moreover, oblique incidence problems are also studied in practice, which can be used for relieving multipath effect. In the microwave experiment, we fabricate the intelligent spatiotemporal metasurfaces and demonstrate the potential to fulfill Doppler-offset beamforming under oblique incidence.
Demand in a Portfolio-Choice Environment: The Evolution of Telecommunications

Published: November 2023

The introduction of a new good (or service) often creates situations in which consumers may choose to consume an extant good, a new good, both goods, or neither. Understanding the evolution and determinants of consumer demand in these situations can be quite important to economic policy formation, and especially so in network industries experiencing the entry of new services. In this study, we draw upon a database of over 180,000 individual household choices of fixed and/or mobile telephone subscriptions over 2003–2010 to improve insight into both the structure and evolution of consumer demand in such portfolio-choice settings. Congruent with our underlying consumer utility model, we find that cellphone service complements household member mobility: Households that are more often “on the go” favor mobile services. We also find the presence of network effects that impact the demand for mobile telephone services. Finally, we find that own- and cross-price elasticities of fixed and mobile telephony services demonstrate marked differences among demographic groups and across income levels.

Published: November 2023

The effect of nozzle lip thickness and velocity ratio on coaxial subsonic jet mixing, at different Mach numbers, has been studied experimentally and numerically. Decay of coaxial subsonic jets emanating from coaxial nozzles of lip thickness 0.7, 1.7 and 2.65 mm with velocity ratio (VR) from 0.2 to 1.0 at primary jet exit Mach numbers of 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 has been studied. Free jet without co-flow (VR0) was also studied for comparison. Jet centerline Mach number decay, turbulence and velocity variation in the radial direction are analyzed. The results show that mixing the coaxial jet at a low-velocity ratio is better than a high-velocity ratio, at all Mach numbers of the present study. The nozzle lip thickness has a significant influence on the secondary jet. Mixing of the jet in the presence of VR0.2 coaxial jet is found to be the highest. Characteristic decay of Mach 0.8 and 1.0 jet for lip thickness 1.7 and 2.65 mm is faster than lip thickness 0.7 mm. For a given lip thickness, increasing of velocity ratio is found to retard the mixing between primary and secondary jets.
Displacing the PStem
Authors: Elkins Noah
Published: November 2023

Much debate in prosodic phonology has centered on the question of recursive prosodic layers versus independent constituents. Recently, Downing and Kadenge (Downing, Laura & Maxwell Kadenge. 2015. Prosodic stems in Zezuru Shona. Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies 33(3). 291–305, Downing, Laura & Maxwell Kadenge. 2020. Re-placing the PStem in the prosodic hierarchy. The Linguistic Review 37(3). 433–461) have advocated for a unique prosodic constituent, the PStem, to match stem-level phonology. They argue that the stem level should not be sensitive to canonically word-level phenomena such as minimality and culminativity. Alternatively, Itô and Mester (Itô, Junko & Armin Mester. 2007. Prosodic adjunction in Japanese compounds. MIT Working Papers in Linguistics. 97–111 et seq.) propose that the PStem/PrWd division can be collapsed into recursive PrWd levels, in which any recursive layer can have any given set of properties. In this paper, I hope to add to this debate by showing that Downing and Kadenge’s idea of specifically stem-level processes is falsifiable in light of new empirical evidence from a number of unrelated languages. In terms of the recursion question, I show that there are two types of language behavior with respect to stem- versus word-level phonology: one in which stem and word are the loci of the distinct processes, and one in which stem and word show the same behavior (“recursive identity”). I conclude by showing that arguments intending to reduce recursive identity to cyclicity encounter their own suite of problems.

Acupuncture at Lianquan (CV23) acupoint has been shown to improve swallowing function in poststroke dysphagia (PSD). This improvement is supposed to be associated with the regulation of neuronal activity in the contralateral primary motor cortex (M1), while the underlying mechanism still needs to be elucidated. Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are well-known to be involved in the regulation of neuronal activity. Thus, we here aimed to detect the role of PNNs in the contralateral M1 hemisphere in the electroacupuncture (EA)-mediated effect in male mice. The results were obtained from a combination of methods, includingin vitroslice electrophysiological recording,in vivoelectrophysiological recording, and immunofluorescent staining in male mice. These results showed a decrease of the excitatory postsynaptic currents (sEPSCs) and no alteration of the inhibitory postsynaptic currents (sIPSCs) in the GABAergic neurons and the tonic inhibition in the excitatory neurons in the contralateral M1 after stroke induction, and EA recovered the impaired sEPSCs in the GABAergic neurons. We further found that the effect of EA-induced increase of c-Fos expression, enhancement of spike firing, potentiation of sEPSCs in the excitatory neurons, and improvement of swallowing function were all blocked by the removal of PNNs in the contralateral M1. In conclusion, the PNNs in the contralateral M1 was suggested to be participated in stroke pathogenesis and might be associated with the EA-mediated swallowing function rehabilitation of PSD in male mice. Our study provides insight into how PNNs might be involved in the mechanism of EA treatment for stroke rehabilitation.
Podcast Reenactments and the Sonics of Fictionalization from Cher to Swift
Authors: Skjerseth Amy
Published: November 2023

Podcasts often blend journalistic investigation with personal reflection, from Serial to Switched on Pop. Their veneer of fiction-as-fact especially confounds representation when podcasts’ voice acting and sound design portray pop stars in caricatured dramatizations. This paper examines reenactments of Cher and Taylor Swift in podcasts that investigate popular music industries and technology. As I show, these stars often are ventriloquized on podcasts due to their respective ages and visibility as women. Podcasts interrogate them for being too old or too young and for trespassing onto the often-male domains of business and technology.

To show how podcast hosts represent women pop stars in particularly gendered and ageist ways, I listen to the sonics of fictionalization of two episodes that mythologize Cher’s Auto-Tuning and Swift’s battle to take back her masters from record industry men. First, American Innovations reenacts Cher’s request to producers to create the Auto-Tune effect, but the male host’s ventriloquy of her voice reduces her artistic and technological prowess to parody as they make her seem outdated. Then, in Business Wars, multiple voice actors reenact Swift’s career from its beginning and depict her as a child who doesn’t know any better. These podcasts blur facts and public opinion with alluring dramatizations of what “really happened,” placing listeners in the scene with compelling voice acting and ambient sound effects. In these reenactments, podcasts’ affordances of intimacy and immersion—which hosts often herald as democratizing—perpetuate cultural mythologies about gender and age in popular music.

Extracellular vesicles released by tumors (tEVs) disseminate via circulatory networks and promote microenvironmental changes in distant organs favoring metastatic seeding. Despite their abundance in the bloodstream, how hemodynamics affect the function of circulating tEVs remains unsolved. We demonstrated that efficient uptake of tEVs occurs in venous endothelial cells that are subjected to hemodynamics. Low flow regimes observed in veins partially reroute internalized tEVs toward non‐acidic and non‐degradative Rab14‐positive endosomes, at the expense of lysosomes, suggesting that endothelial mechanosensing diverts tEVs from degradation. Subsequently, tEVs promote the expression of pro‐angiogenic transcription factors in low flow‐stimulated endothelial cells and favor vessel sprouting in zebrafish. Altogether, we demonstrate that low flow regimes potentiate the pro‐tumoral function of circulating tEVs by promoting their uptake and rerouting their trafficking. We propose that tEVs contribute to pre‐metastatic niche formation by exploiting endothelial mechanosensing in specific vascular regions with permissive hemodynamics.
Machine Learning and Neural Networks for Modelling the Retention of PPhACs by NF/RO
Authors: Ammi Yamina , Si-Moussa Cherif , Hanini Salah
Published: November 2023

The retention of polar pharmaceutical active compounds (PPhACs) by nanofiltration and reverse osmosis (NF/RO) membranes is of paramount importance in membrane separation processes. The retention of 21 PPhACs was correlated using artificial intelligence techniques: multi-layer perceptron (MLP), feedforward neural network with radial basis function (RBF), and support vector machine (SVM). A database of 541 retention values has been collected from the literature. The results showed a high predictive capacity of the MLP model for the retention of PPhACs by NF/RO with a very high correlation coefficient (R = 0.9714) and a very low root mean squared error (RMSE = 3.9139 %) for the entire data set. The comparison between the three models showed the superiority of the MLP model. The sensitivity analysis emphasised that the retention of PPhACs is governed by three interactions arranged in descending order: polarity interactions (hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity), electrostatic repulsion, and steric hindrance. This research suggests that the PPhACs retention on the NF/RO membrane strongly depends on the topological polar surface area.

Published: November 2023

A series of physical softness models were developed for facial tissue products. To this end, subjective softness data were obtained by panelists by means of round-robin pair-comparison methods. Overall softness was found to mainly consist of bulk and surface softness. Bulk softness was determined by measuring the tensile modulus (TM) from tensile testing. In contrast, the surface softness considered the mean absolute deviation (RMAD) from the roughness average (Ra) and the mean absolute deviation (FMAD) from the average coefficient of friction (), respectively, which were determined by profilometry. The developed models exhibited strong correlations with subjective softness. In particular, surface softness was found to contribute more to the overall softness than bulk softness. Overall, the developed models can serve as guidance for developing tissue products.

Published: November 2023

The evaluation and classification of chemical properties in different copy-paper products could significantly help address document forgery. This study analyzes the feasibility of utilizing infrared spectroscopy in conjunction with machine learning algorithms for classifying copy-paper products. A dataset comprising 140 infrared spectra of copy-paper samples was collected. The classification models employed in this study include partial least squares-discriminant analysis, support vector machine, and K-nearest neighbors. The key findings indicate that a classification model based on the use of attenuated-total-reflection infrared spectroscopy demonstrated good performance, highlighting its potential as a valuable tool in accurately classifying paper products and ensuring assisting in solving criminal cases involving document forgery.

The vast majority of low- and medium power supply systems are based on pulse converters using pulse-width modulation, which provides flexible regulation of electricity parameters, which is especially important in systems with renewable energy sources. When synthesizing control systems based on pulse-width modulation, it is necessary to take into account the level of pulsation of the output voltage, which significantly affects stability and, accordingly, the value of the control system gain. The effect of pulsation on stability is described on the basis of the pulsation factor, which takes into account the component that precedes the switching moment. The paper suggests also taking into account the component that follows the moment of switching. Using the example of asynchronous pulse-width modulation, the transfer function of the closed loop system was obtained taking into account the proposed pulsation factor after switching, and the region of stability of the closed system was analyzed.

The main component of DC power supply systems are various semiconductor mostly controlled rectifiers with corresponding filter capacitors. In particular, these are multi-level rectifiers (MLRs) with a purposeful discrete-time change in the voltage transfer coefficient through a corresponding change in the operating state of its executive structure. Synthesized optimal variants of these structures are characterized by the high efficiency of the use of semiconductor switches elements. The work revealed and analyzed the peculiarities of the implementation of transitions between the specified operating states in two types of MLR – with a wide (full) and with a limited range of output voltage regulation. Taking into account these features made it possible to determine appropriate algorithms for discrete-time control of semiconductor switches elements of the MLR, which ensure an acceptable course of these transitions, during which the possibility of noticeable unwanted surges or drops in the voltage supplied to the consumer is practically excluded. The multivariate implementation of the algorithms for transitions between the output voltage levels of the MLR is another aspect of the multivariate transformer-and-switches executive structures of converters in general.

Based on the refined mathematical model of the linear induction motor, which considers the end effects, the saturation of the magnetic field and the incomplete overlap of the inductor by the secondary element, a simulation model of the electric drive was created in the Matlab package. A simulation of the linear electric drive operation was carried out, which takes into account the effect of the input-output of the secondary element from the magnetic field of the inductor. The obtained results of the studies confirm the efficiency of the developed model and its suitability for carrying out refined modeling and synthesis of the control laws of the linear electric drive.

A computer mathematical model is presented for the study of electrothermal processes in the installation of induction heat treatment of cylindrical aluminum ingots during pressing of wire rod for the manufacture of aluminum wire for power cables. The model makes it possible to determine energetically and technologically appropriate electromagnetic and thermal modes of induction heat treatment of ingots at a given voltage on the inductor. The results of the study of a typical installation for heating aluminum blanks for the purpose of their subsequent gradient pressing using a single-phase single-layer cylindrical inductor made of a rectangular copper tube are presented. Temperature distributions along the length of the aluminum blanks, as well as in the cross-sections of the billets at the output of the inductor, were obtained. A slight difference in the calculated electromagnetic and thermal parameters from the similar parameters of the operating installation confirmed the adequacy of the developed model. Ways to increase the efficiency of the induction heating installation by optimizing the profile of the inductor turns are considered. The influence of the thickness of the wall of the copper tube of the inductor close to the workpiece on the efficiency of the installation was determined and it was shown that its optimal thickness is at the level of the depth of penetration of the electromagnetic field into the metal. The possibility of using a three-phase power supply of the inductor was also investigated and it was shown that in this case it is most appropriate to use a phase angle shift between voltages of 60 el. degree.

The linguistic landscape of Lamma Island
Authors: Militello Jacqueline Marie White , Theng Andre Joseph , Kong Yik Lam Charmaine , Singh Jaspal Naveel
Published: November 2023

Lamma Island, while only a short 30-minute ferry ride from the intensely metropolitan centre of Hong Kong Island, the ‘most vertical city’ in the world, represents a rural diametric as an ‘outlying island’: lightly populated with both a long-standing local population and a transient ‘expatriate’ population. We argue that the main village Yung Shue Wan represents a ‘border nexus’ between the urban and the rural. This becomes evident through our autoethnographic linguistic landscape (LL) approach, where the four authors use four different positionalities towards understanding how displayed discourse is oriented to multiple centres of authority – that is, the municipal, regional, communal, and touristic – creating Lamma’s unique polycentric sense of place. We show that polycentricity is not only intrinsic to signs but is also contingent on those who read them. We foreground the role of autoethnographic reflexivity in LL analysis, as collaboratively studied via video conferencing tools in light of the pandemic.

This article presents the results of a qualitative study based on the humanizing methodology and a transformative approach, conducted in a space of collaborative intercultural, participatory activities of children and university students, as well as female researchers. The intercultural activities and research were implemented in the third month of the war in Ukraine as a response to current challenges faced by Polish schools and universities. The results are obtained from participant observation (3) and semi-structured interviews (34) conducted with university students working with Polish and Ukrainian pupils, using the project method based on L. Lundy’s participation model in the space of the University of Warsaw. The analysis of the results presents the main aspects of how preschool and early childhood education students understand participation in their work with children from diverse sociocultural backgrounds. The study also showed how important it is to include Polish children and children with refugee and migration experience in the activities and joint participation, which allows one to build a safe space for verbal and non-verbal communication (through art) of children with children and adults.

School is an institution seen through the lens of its openness to relationships with the environment, with its partners, including the students’ parents. A desirable type of relationship between school and the family involves the families’ participation in school activities. In view of the above, this paper is focused on the determinants of parental involvement in the school life. They are structured by reference to the three dimensions of the Triangle of Participation model, which includes challenge (important matters, benefits), capacity (parents’ own abilities and circumstances), connection (the support provided). They offer a starting point for thinking about promoting and supporting parents’ participation in joint activities with teachers, accommodating for the cultural diversity of the parent community. They also make it possible to see the importance of consciously initiating and maintaining these subjects’ participation in school activities, which are adapted to suit the parents’ resources and capabilities, and the importance of showing support for their own initiatives, subject to common consent and legal regulations. Viewing parental involvement in the school life through the lens of these dimensions of participation is in line with the thinking of ‘school as a space of recognition’.

RESUMO Em janeiro de 2020, a Organização Mundial da Saúde declarou a Covid-19 como emergência de saúde pública no mundo. Diante da ausência de medidas farmacológicas, a única prevenção adotada foi o distanciamento físico. Porém, trabalhadores essenciais ficaram submetidos às políticas de gestão de saúde e segurança das empresas. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar as condições de saúde e segurança dos trabalhadores expostos ao Sars-CoV-2, por meio da aplicação de ferramentas de inovação tecnológica, para dar suporte e subsidiar ações de mitigação de risco da doença. Trata-se de estudo transversal, conduzido na plataforma REDCap, por instrumento autoaplicável de comunicação de risco de trabalhadores em atividade presencial e remota, no Brasil. Participaram 2.476 trabalhadores, dos quais, 723 foram aceitos por análise de consistência das respostas. A idade média foi de 43,5 anos, sexo feminino (53,3%), cor branca (62%), carga de 21-40 horas semanais (60%) e Covid-19 em 27,4% da amostra. A maioria (75,2%) considerou que a transmissão ocorreu no trabalho e que medidas de proteção coletiva foram insuficientes. Os achados apontam deficiências nos planos de contingência das empresas, que repercutem em insegurança e risco de exposição ao Sars-CoV-2, reduzindo a eficácia das medidas sanitárias e transformando o trabalho em lócus de disseminação do vírus.

A coleta de dados foi realizada mediante a aplicação de um questionário on-line, no qual participaram 278 secretários municipais de saúde do estado de Minas Gerais e/ou coordenadores da APS. A estrutura em saúde se demonstrou capaz de proporcionar o desenvolvimento de funções gerenciais com base em dados e informações ao longo da pandemia. Entre as ações de enfrentamento na população, estão o uso de protocolos, de máscaras, utilização de barreiras físicas, penalidade por aglomeração e recursos de telefonia para o esclarecimento de dúvidas sobre a Covid-19. Quanto às dificuldades de controle dessa doença pelos colaboradores na APS, foram citadas baixa remuneração profissional, precária organização do trabalho, demora dos resultados nos exames, subnotificação, falta de equipamentos e recursos tecnológicos. Conclui-se que inúmeras medidas e ferramentas adotadas para o controle da pandemia foram utilizadas pelas autoridades municipais. No entanto, apesar de os recursos tecnológicos, como o e-SUS, disponibilizarem dados epidemiológicos sobre a Covid-19, capazes de auxiliar no planejamento de ações em saúde, essas ferramentas necessitam de aperfeiçoamentos.

Published: November 2023

RESUMO Visto que a Educação Interprofissional tem sido apontada para a reorientação da formação e do trabalho em saúde, objetivou-se analisar sua inserção nos Projetos Pedagógicos dos Cursos de graduação em saúde de uma universidade pública. Trata-se de uma pesquisa pautada na análise documental, dividida em três etapas: leitura exploratória, pré-análise e análise dos documentos. Todos os documentos dos cursos analisados referem-se ao trabalho em equipe como competência importante para a formação, ainda que façam apenas algumas menções pontuais e específicas à interprofissionalidade. Os documentos não apresentam projetos para a implementação da Educação Interprofissional nos currículos regulares, apenas delegam a inserção da interprofissionalidade à extensão universitária. Assim, observou-se que os projetos pedagógicos inserem a Educação Interprofissional de forma restrita nos cursos da área da saúde.
Conformação da ‘moderna’ enfermagem brasileira e interfaces com os Saberes Psi: um estudo historiográfico - 1932-1988
Authors: Vilena Kely Cristina Garcia , Miranda Rodrigo Lopes
Published: November 2023

RESUMO Neste estudo, objetivou-se descrever e analisar a circulação de Saberes Psi - Psicologia, Psicanálise e Psiquiatria - na ‘Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem’ entre 1932 e 1988. Metodologicamente, é uma pesquisa historiográfica cujas fontes primárias foram 59 textos da referida revista que abordaram o conhecimento mencionado. Os resultados indicaram que os Saberes Psi eram objetos de interesse daquele coletivo que passou a divulgá-los no periódico e a introduzi-los nos currículos das escolas de enfermagem. Foram apropriados para compor o processo de conformação da enfermeira moderna por, pelo menos, três mecanismos: 1) ensino de psicologia voltado para a formação moral e comportamental da enfermeira; 2) ensino de psicologia, para sua capacitação na assistência ao doente, além da saúde do corpo; e 3) ensino de psiquiatria, para capacitar a enfermeira no cuidado com o adoecimento mental. Notam-se, portanto, os Saberes Psi circulando no coletivo de pensamento dos autores que publicavam na revista e, concomitantemente, coadunando com o estilo de pensamento Nightingaleano de formação da enfermeira considerada ideal. Logo, tais Saberes aludiram à conformação daquilo que seria considerada a enfermagem ‘moderna’ brasileira.
Underdevelopment historical analysis about management in Brazil: the influence of the World Bank on the consolidation of managerialism in public projects in the developing countries
Authors: CARNEIRO ADELE DE TOLEDO
Published: November 2023

Abstract By adopting the 1990s as a timeframe, this article addresses the influence of multilateral institutions in carrying out development projects in Brazil, based on a historical review of the notion of Development Management (Brinkerhoff & Coston, 1999; Thomas, 1996). Consolidated reports from the World Bank Management Reform period were analyzed to investigate the normative suggestions made by the multilateral agency for the success of the ventures and implementation of investment in the country at the time. The study aligns with Critical Development Studies by presenting the historical development of the management experience in Brazil as a reflection of the power and influence of project management in developing countries. The theoretical framework adopted in this study was the critical perspective from the seminal approach of inter-organizational development projects in this countries by Ika and Hodgson (2014). The results demonstrate how multilateral agencies have operated in Latin America from a managerialist perspective. This novel understanding was developed by surveying the critical factors of the alignment between the management and the principles of globalization to shed light on the interests of the directive actions of international bodies in developing countries. The article concludes with evidence of the World Bank’s performance in cohesion with the development management area and dependence on the Western model for structuring the management apparatus.
Propensity to entrepreneurship and its antecedents: development and validation of a measurement scale

Published: November 2023

Abstract This article develops and validates a Measurement Scale of the Propensity to Entrepreneurship and its Antecedents (MSPEA). The theoretical basis concerns the Propensity to Entrepreneurship and the previous individual characteristics (innovative behavior, need for autonomy, need for achievement, proactivity, self-efficacy, locus of internal/external control, tolerance/intolerance to ambiguity, risk propensity, and risk aversion). The methodological procedures involved the qualitative (selection of individual characteristics and elaboration of items) and quantitative approaches through multivariate data analysis. The results reveal that all constructs meet the necessary parameters for performing Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA). After reduction, all presented good reliability with Cronbach’s alpha greater than 0.70, indicating that all MSPEA constructs are statistically reliable. In the final version, 56 items remained, 9 of which were of Propensity to Entrepreneurship and 47 of individual characteristics. The elaboration of items to measure the propensity to entrepreneurship and the identification of a set of individual characteristics preceding it expands the understanding of this theme since several studies did not measure it as a construct, which is the main contribution of this study. Considering that EFA is an interdependence technique in which factors are formed to show the explanatory power of a set of variables, not allowing one or more factors to be considered predictors of another factor, future research could perform the Confirmatory Factor Analysis proposing a model of how these antecedent individual characteristics can be directly or indirectly related to the Propensity to Entrepreneurship.

Published: November 2023

Abstract In Brazil, the General Controllership of the State of Goiás (CGE-GO) created an Ecosystem of Citizen Participation, encompassing projects that encourage citizen participation and social accountability. However, the CGE-GO team is struggling to encourage and ensure the ecosystem’s expansion and full functioning. Henrique Ziller, Diego, Lucélia, Marjorie and the entire team’s goal is that the projects are not entirely dependent on the institution, and become part of civil society. Thus, they need strategies to mitigate risks to keep the Citizen Participation Ecosystem alive.
Multidimensional impact of research: developing and testing a model for assessment
Authors: WOOD JUNIOR THOMAZ , WILNER ADRIANA
Published: November 2023

Abstract In recent decades, changes in science have been characterized by internationalization and the quest for impact. This article introduces the impact assessment process of 23 research projects of the Capes prInt Program aimed at internationalizing Brazilian science. This work developed an impact assessment model, applying it experimentally. The development was based on scientific texts on modes of production of scientific knowledge and impact assessment. The assessment revealed that, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the projects have advanced in their internationalization goals. As for the impacts, those related to science and education predominated, with a significant number of projects also indicating impacts on public policies and organizational practices. The article adds to understanding modes of knowledge production and research impact measurement. Furthermore, it can be useful to directors of research institutions, research managers, and researchers interested in measuring the research impact on organizations and society.
México y la violencia de género: los estudios del desarrollo y la revista Debate Feminista
Authors: Aguilar Sánchez Citlaly , Chávez Elorza Mónica Guadalupe , Argüelles Elsa Leticia García
Published: November 2023

Resumen: Este artículo es un itinerario de las rutas de la violencia de género y los estudios del desarrollo en México, en la década de 1990, año en el que aparece el primer número de Debate Feminista, publicación periódica sobre feminismo y perspectiva de género de la UNAM. La metodología que se siguió fue el análisis del contexto a partir de dos elementos: las condiciones socioculturales y la definición de la violencia que la revista ha tomado en consideración y aportación a un contexto más amplio del académico, teórico, e intelectual del discurso feminista. Entre los resultados, se denota, por un lado, la existencia de políticas gubernamentales para atender la condición de violencia que sufren las mujeres, pero no acciones que cambien la posición de estas dentro de la sociedad; por otra, la postura de la revista está íntimamente relacionada con el contexto histórico, mostrando la complejidad del problema.
