Narrativas de professores de matemática sobre situações vividas em classes com estudantes cegos
Authors: Monteiro de Lima Andréa Paula , Lima Iranete Maria da Silva , Santos Jaqueline Aparecida Foratto Lixandrão
Published: March 2024

O artigo apresenta parte de uma pesquisa que objetivou compreender a comunicação que ocorre em classe inclusivas, a partir de narrativas de professores que ensinam matemática em classes com estudantes cegos. Fundamenta-se em estudos sobre a Educação Inclusiva e a Educação Matemática Crítica para produzir dados a partir de narrativas dos professores que participaram da pesquisa, por meio de entrevistas episódicas realizadas remotamente, em 2022, no período da pandemia causada pela Covid-19. Para analisar os dados, utiliza-se – com base nas abordagens teóricas de referência – de categorias analíticas que estão associadas aos conceitos de acessibilidade e de diálogo. As análises colocam em evidência a preocupação dos professores em incluir os estudantes cegos nas atividades narradas, mesmo que, por vezes, a inclusão não tenha ficado explícita nos episódios narrados. Esses resultados confirmam os achados de outras pesquisas de que a presença de estudantes com deficiências causa dúvidas e incertezas nos professores, relacionadas tanto às escolhas didáticas quanto ao modo de agir e ensinar. Conjectura-se que a superação dessas dificuldades passa por fatores que incluem a infraestrutura física adequada, a disponibilidade de recursos apropriados ao ensino e o acesso a formação inicial e formação continuada que discutam a Educação Inclusiva.
acesso ao saber matemático em turmas inclusivas

Published: March 2024

Ce texte vise à discuter l'accès au savoir mathématique " problèmes de structures additives avec les entiers naturels " en classe d'inclusion, à partir de tâches structurées autour de variables qui légitiment les différences des élèves sourds. Pour ce faire, il s'appuie sur la théorie des champs conceptuels de Vergnaud, pour approfondir les études sur les connaissances mathématiques considérées, sur la théorie anthropologique du didactique de Chevallard, pour le développement de l'enquête, et conjecture que la T4TEL est une possibilité de rendre l'accès aux connaissances mathématiques efficace pour les élèves ayant des besoins spécifiques différents, dans le même espace scolaire. Pour mener à bien la recherche, le champ conceptuel des structures additives établi par Vergnaud a été utilisé comme modèle de référence épistémologique pour développer un dispositif didactique basé sur la T4TEL, en considérant des variables didactiques qui prennent en compte les différences des élèves sourds. Le dispositif a été validé dans deux institutions spécialisées pour les étudiants sourds, puis mis en œuvre dans une classe composée d'étudiants sourds et entendants. L'une des conclusions est que, en s'appuyant sur la T4TEL et en s'appuyant sur des variables de légitimation, il est possible de générer un ensemble de tâches qui peuvent contribuer non seulement à ce que les étudiants sourds et entendants aient un accès simultané aux connaissances mathématiques étudiées, mais aussi à ce que la prise en compte des variables de légitimation des différences lors de la conception des tâches les rende potentiellement plus inclusives.
Cibercultura e antropologia cristã
Authors: Fernandes Pinto Elias
Published: March 2024

Este artigo pretende apresentar alguns elementos da cibercultura, a grande característica do mundo atual, e a partir de temas selecionados da antropologia cristã propor um diálogo para apontar algumas luzes e desafios para se pensar o humano. Apresentaremos algumas características da cibercultura no âmbito das novas relações e da chamada utopia cibercultural com características de pós-humanismo. Em seguida, os temas da antropologia cristã que elegemos para o diálogo, a saber, o conceito de pessoa relacional, do ser imagem e semelhança de Deus, a corporeidade e a vulnerabilidade nos permitirão apontar um lugar para se dizer o que é o ser humano em sua complexidade. Neste diálogo, acreditamos que a fé cristã se enrique no confronto com a cibercultura e, ao mesmo tempo, apresenta alguns parâmetros para a compreensão do que é o ser humano e seu agir.

Para isso, refere-se à imigração no Brasil em diferentes momentos históricos. Em termos teóricos, foram mobilizadas as propostas de E. Landowski, sobretudo os regimes de interação e sentido. Assim, observou-se que os efeitos de sentido se baseiam na rotina, na manipulação, no ajustamento e no acidente.
Modos de textualidad : apunte metodológico para un materialismo semiótico
Authors: Dongo Eduardo Yalán , Calderón Elder Cuevas
Published: March 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es analizar los límites del texto como objeto de estudio. Ateniéndose al principio de “clausura”, que anima a la semiótica, se plantea la pertinencia de los límites del texto y de conjunciones textuales más complejas que enriquecen la interpretación. La propuesta no pretende disputar terrenos epistemológicos, sino llevar precisiones metodológicas sobre la selección, justificación y delimitación del objeto empírico de análisis. Se plantea la ampliación de los umbrales del objeto semiótico no como un afuera del texto, sino haciendo del contexto otro texto que se va hilvanando al objeto de análisis. La propuesta es la de la reconexión, comprendiendo las conexiones y reconexiones del proceso de significación a niveles más complejos y dando respuesta al problema de los grados de apertura de un texto.
Ventidue giocatori in cerca d’autore : l’imprevedibile e la grammatica del racconto
Authors: Ferraro Guido
Published: March 2024

L’analisi di una partita di calcio può porre alla semiotica molti interrogativi, ma quello più centrale di tutti sembra essere quanto concerne il ruolo della accidentalità. È lecito augurarci la vittoria di una squadra in teoria sfavorita, cosa deplorata da un giornalista economico ? Possiamo prendere piacere da uno spettacolo che può essere deciso da eventi minori, quasi negligibili ? Più in generale, come valutare il ruolo del caso e il gioco delle possibilità multiple, nella definizione delle strutture narrative ? Dobbiamo forse per certi versi ripensare il rapporto tra il reale e il possibile ? Alla fine, la questione sembra essere assai meno futile e circoscritta di quanto si potrebbe pensare.
Crunching Numbers, Making Decisions: Artificial Intelligence and Statistics for Financial Distress Forecasting in Algeria and Saudi Arabia
Authors: Sabek Amine , Saihi Youcef
Published: March 2024

Predicting financial distress has been a significant concern for both researchers and practitioners for long period. This topic has garnered substantial interest due to the potential benefits of using predictive models to anticipate financial troubles and help companies steer clear of financial risks that could lead to bankruptcy and liquidation. The primary aim of this research is to forecast financial distress, comparing the effectiveness of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) with Logistic Regression (LR). This evaluation is based on data from 12 Algerian companies and 12 Saudi companies during the period from 2015 to 2019. The study's findings indicate that the LR model outperformed the Wide Neural Network (WNN) model in accurately predicting financial distress, achieving optimal classification accuracy for both Algerian and Saudi companies. Consequently, the LR model emerges as the preferred choice for forecasting financial distress in both countries.

Authors: Amaliah A. Nurul Suci , Maisara Putri , Waspada Saifullah , Armayani Andi
Published: March 2024

The consumer consciousness and collective actions of the community constitute a primary challenge in striving for environmental conservation and enhancing social well-being as part of the sustainable development goals. One of the efforts to address this challenge is by adopting sustainable consumption behavior (SCB). In general, this research aimed to engage with sustainable development issues at the consumer level. This research specifically adopts the EECB (Ecologically Conscious Consumer Behavior) model measured by the factors of environmental concern (EC), perceived consumer effectiveness (PCE) and altruism (AL. This research used a survey method and collected data from 304 consumers in Indonesia. The results indicate that environmental concern is not a significant factor in predicting ECCB and confirm the gap between environmental concern and consumer actual behaviors also suggesting that Indonesian consumers still struggle to translate their environmental concern into actual action. Meanwhile, the PCE factor is known to influence ECCB significantly. However, altruism was not found to be a moderating factor in the relationship between PCE and ECCB, but instead strengthened the relationship between EC and ECCB.

Inflasi dalam IPO: Menelusuri Jejak Underpricing
Authors: Yandes Jufri , Destiana Destiana
Published: March 2024

The study explores whether in 2021 to 2022, the inflation rate has an influence on underpricing. The hypothesis testing approach process begins by passing the classical assumption test and linear regression analysis. Secondary data sources were obtained through the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a total population of 112, and 77 samples were selected based on specific criteria for use in the study. The results of the study reveal that from 2021 to 2022 inflation has an influence on underpricing. It is suspected that the inflation rate is used by investors as one of the decision indicators in investing in IPO shares in the period 2021 to 2022 which has an impact on the level of underpricing, in line with this because inflation can also be a driver or obstacle for economic growth, price stability, and especially in terms of investment decisions. This study is expected to provide a real contribution in the form of empirical data that is useful for issuers who list their shares and for future researchers and become a source of further recommendations.

Objective: Identify NKHICU patient and family satisfaction to prioritize opportunities for quality improvement.
Methods: This was health-system research, exploratory design. Work began by providing training for selected NKHICU administrative staff to help with data collection activities. Next, a well-prepared checklist was used to observe some quality dimensions. Finally, satisfaction was identified using two ICU-designed interview questionnaires for patients and family members who matched the eligibility criteria. Quantitative and qualitative findings were analyzed independently and combined in the discussion. The mean % satisfaction scores of the participants were calculated. The reliability of questionnaires was measured using Cronbach's Alpha.
Results: The observation revealed 'excellent' results, except for some inconvenient conditions in the family waiting areas. The highest mean % score of patient and family satisfaction was for the neat appearance of NKHICU staff (96.4%, and 97.1%, respectively) and the continuous availability of nurses to respond to patient needs (94.7%, and 94.3%, respectively). The least mean % score of patient and family satisfaction was for the shortage of required drugs/supplies (51.5%, and 40.7%, respectively). The top suggestions raised by the participants were increasing the availability of medications/supplies and reduction in hospital bills.
Conclusion: The provision of adequate drugs/supplies, reduction in bills, and addressing patients' and families' concerns will improve their satisfaction with services.

Authors: Nair Anilkumar , S S Hebbar , M Senthilkumar
Published: March 2024

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of fertigation on chilli F1 Hybrid Arka Meghana during kharif of 2017 and 2018, with ten treatments, including different doses, sources of fertilizers and its frequency of application, in randomized block design with three replications. The pooled analysis revealed that application of fertilizer dose (125:100:125 kg N: P2O5: K2O ha-1) through fertigation on bi-weekly basis resulted in higher plant height (76.3 cm) at 80 days after transplanting, which was on par with the same dose and source applied at weekly interval (74.0 cm). These two treatments recorded higher fruit length (12.63 and 12.27 cm), number of fruits per plant (153.33 and 169.67) and dry weight of 10 fruits (9.00 and 8.63 g), respectively. All the fertigation treatments recorded higher yields over the conventional soil application of fertilizers to the tune of 14.84 to 61.55%. Among the fertigation treatments, application of 100% of fertilizer dose using water soluble fertilizers at bi-weekly interval resulted in significantly higher yield (32.44 t ha-1) compared to all treatments except the treatment where the weekly application of same dose of fertilizer through the same sources (31.81 t ha-1) and 75% of 125:100:125 kg N: P2O5: K2O ha-1 was applied weekly or bi-weekly intervals (29.23 and 30.01 t ha-1). Biweekly and weekly application of 100% fertilizer dose of 125:100:125 kg N: P2O5: K2O ha-1 through fertigation could yield maximum net income (Rs. 400151 and Rs. 387551 ha-1) with B: C (1.61 and 1.56). However, fertilizer applied to soil resulted in minimum net income of Rs.183054 ha-1 and B: C (0.84).

Authors: G Ranjith , S Kaleemullah , M Raveendra Reddy , B Sreenivasula Reddy , B Prabhakar
Published: March 2024

Dragon fruit (Hylocereus polyrhizus) is emerging as a super crop because of its several health and therapeutic benefits and ease of cultivation even in degraded land. Using response surface approach, the process parameters for osmotic dehydration of dragon fruit slices included process temperature, syrup concentration and process time. Slices of size 20 x 20 x 5 mm were dipped into sugar syrup with a syrup to dragon fruit slice ratio of 4:1 (w/w). After osmotic dehydration, the initial moisture content of dragon fruit samples was reduced to 27.5-68.49% (wb), demonstrating water loss, solid gain, and mass reduction in the range of 18.01-65.9%, 6.3-17.9% and 9.31-50.6%, respectively. After statistical analysis of the data on water loss, solid gain, and weight reduction, it was shown that regression equations of second order provided the greatest match for all the experimental data. With a syrup to fruit ratio of 4:1 and a syrup concentration of 65.3° Brix at a syrup temperature of 56.5°C, a maximum water loss of 58.2% and a minimum solid gain of 7.7% were expected to occur in 240 minutes of osmotic dehydration.
Biochemical characterization of gamma-ray induced mutants in mango
Authors: Perveen Nusrat , Dinesh M R , Sankaran M , Shivashankara K S
Published: March 2024

The volatile compound (VC) compositions of putative mutants were estimated and compared with the untreated seedlings and mother plants of mango genotype Bappakkai. Sesquiterpenes were the major VC detected in mother plants, control plants and putative mutant samples viz., BM4, BM5 and BM6, while, monoterpenes dominated the volatile fractions of other three putative mutant samples. A positive and significantly high correlation between all the mother plants, between mother plants and control seedlings as well as between the control seedlings, suggests a high level of similarity or lack of variability between mother plants and control seedlings, indicating that they might be of nucellar origin. Hence, we conclude that volatile profiling can be used as a biochemical marker for characterization and validation of putative mutants in polyembryonic mango genotypes.

Authors: P Preethi , M Shamsudheen , Sanikommu Vijay Rakesh , G L Veena , Kalal Prashant , Ravi Pandiselvam
Published: March 2024

Cashew apple is a pseudo-fruit available abundantly during harvest seasons (March to July) and majority of them goes as waste because of their perishability and poor shelf life. However, the absence of distinct exocarp and seeds are some of the potential advantages for processing utility. Hence, in the present study, osmo-dehydrated products were prepared from two maturity stages i.e. breaker and ripe stages using sugar, spice mixture and were referred to as cashew fig and chew, respectively. The drying efficiency and product recovery were conquered by cashew chew and fig, respectively. Based on the biochemical and organoleptic qualities, ripe fruits werefound suitable for preparation of chew and fig. The tannin content responsible for acridity got reduced (chew of ripe stage 1.18 to 0.53 mg/g and chew of breaker stage 1.85 to 0.68 mg/g) during the process of osmo- dehydration. Excluding total antioxidant activity, all other biochemical properties were found to be improved compared to their respective controls.

A statistical method based on Robust ANOVA to handle outliers induced high coefficient of variation (CV) in pooled (2011-2018) analysis of long-term Mango cv. Totapuri rootstock trail was suggested. Based on the results, it was concluded that the rootstock treatment T3: Olour (average yield over the period 2011 to 2018 as 57.21 kg/tree) as the best. Precision gained as estimated by reduction in CV (%) was in the range of 11.01 % to 78.9 %. SAS IML codes were built-in for analysis. Hence, this study calls for employing robust ANOVA approach in testing the significance of evaluated treatments in a designed perennial crop experiment with high CV that would have reduced the sensitivity of testing the significance of treatment differences otherwise.
Date palm-A gift for health and nutrition: national and international scenario
Authors: J R Faleiro , N K Krishna Kumar
Published: March 2024

Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.), family Arecaceae or Palmae, is cultivated mostly in the arid regions of the world. The crop has played a significant role in the economy of these countries, provides nutritional security, besides helping to mitigate the adverse effects of desertification and climate change over centuries. Date palm personifies human civilization in the arid countries. It is estimated that there are 150 million date palms worldwide, and 75% of these in the Near East and North Africa region. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, the global production of dates has increased from just 1.8 million tons in 1962 to nearly 9.75 million tons in 2022. In India, commercial dates are cultivated mainly in the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan which are emerging as major producers of fresh dates. Besides, local and wild dates are abound across the country. Dates are consumed fresh or in dry form and considered a complete food, providing food and nutrition security through a wide range of essential nutrients that have beneficial effects on human health. This article presents an overview of dates on nutrition and human health besides giving an insight on propagation, production, protection, processing, marketing, and associated challenges plaguing the sector.
Paths of Evolution: A Reading of Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man and Martín-Santos’ Time of Destruction
Authors:   Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Pérez-Simón Andrés
Published: March 2024

This essay examines Luis Martín-Santos’ second novel, Time of Destruction, unfinished at the time of his accidental death in 1964, in connection with James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916). To date, Marisol Morales-Ladrón remains the only scholar who has dealt extensively with both texts (2005: 162-182), a sharp contrast to the numerous studies that have discussed the traces of Joyce’s Ulysses in Martín-Santos’ first novel, Time of Silence (1962). The publication, in 2022, of Mauricio Jalón’s new edition of Martín-Santos’ Time of Destruction, one with significant textual amendments to the first edition (1975), provides an ideal opportunity to expand the scholarship on this scarcely researched topic. The first section of this essay offers a brief discussion of the new edition of Martín-Santos’ novel and reconsiders it in relation to Joyce’s work. The second section proposes a reading of A Portrait and Time of Destruction in light of the tension that exists between the narrators and the two main fictional figures in these novels, Stephen Dedalus and Agustín. The final section considers both novels in relation to Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy of history and morality.
Diminishing the Authorial Footprint: Objects and Texts of Reuse and Refuse in Flann O’Brien’s At Swim-Two-Birds
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca, Romania, Mihálycsa Erika
Published: March 2024

Starting from Myles’ playful advertisement of book-handling services, the paper explores O’Brien’s/Myles’ systematic recycling, rewriting and inscribing of modernist texts and narrative devices, imbricated with the featuring of second-hand and repurposed objects. I argue for a provocative self-positioning of Flann’s/Myles’ texts and their recasting of modernist authorship and the authority of the author in the context of the increasing relevance, and ever faster obsolescence, of commodity culture in the first half of the twentieth century. The collage/assemblage of texts belonging to different genres, ages, languages and aesthetics is situated at the interface between Handlung with its corollary, the ethos of productivity, and handling, reuse and repurposing, at an ironic angle to the modernist slogan, “make it new”.
What’s Behind The Treasuries?
Authors:   York, England, Pierce David
Published: March 2024

This essay was prompted by a review by the Scottish poet, Robert Crawford, of Clare Bucknell’s recent book, The Treasuries: Poetry Anthologies and the Making of British Culture (2023). It provides a reading of Bucknell’s book in the light of other anthologies. So it is not in itself a review but, rather, a series of reflections on the construction and nature of anthologies stimulated by my reading of Bucknell’s book. Crawford insists on the omissions in Bucknell’s account from a Scottish perspective. But I want to take in a wider perspective, one that includes national identity. Initially, I focus on the index and on the entry for Palgrave’s father and his Jewish name. This leads to a discussion on the authoritative appearance of The Golden Treasury and perhaps on what it is hiding. The essay takes issue with the partial view of English poetry, where Wordsworth is afforded the most poems, and eighteenth-century poets hardly feature. The second half discusses Bucknell’s chapter on the popularity of poetry therapy and her omission of any discussion of recent women’s poetry. The anthology she dismisses out of hand is Yeats’s The Oxford Book of Modern Verse 1892-1935. Such a conclusion invites a response at some length. The focus then shifts to another Irish writer, William Allingham, and his largely forgotten anthology, Nightingale Valley, which was published the year before The Golden Treasury and which Palgrave sought to better. In his thought-provoking choices, which includes possibly the first printing of Blake’s poems in an anthology, Allingham provides a counter to those who read poetry and literature simply in terms of the way they reflect history. In doing so he affords a valuable critique of The Treasuries and The Golden Treasury from over a century and a half ago.
“Irish Folklore Has Always Interested and Influenced Me”: An Interview with Deirdre Sullivan
Authors:   University of Lleida, Rodríguez Bonet Diana
Published: March 2024

Deirdre Sullivan is an award-winning Irish YA writer who has been praised by several writers and folklore academics, such as Jack Zipes, for her fairy-tale revisions and her rewriting of the Irish legend “The Children of Lir”. Following the steps of contemporary feminist writers like Angela Carter or Emma Donoghue, Sullivan gives voice to minorities and deals with silenced topics such as sexual harassment. This interview focuses on her subversions of fairy tales and Irish mythology, especially in her collection Tangleweed and Brine (2017) and her revision of “The Children of Lir” in Savage Her Reply (2020). In this interview, Deirdre Sullivan talks about her interest in fairy tales and Irish folklore and how she became a writer.
Reclaiming the Silenced History of LGBTIQA+ Activism and the HIV/AIDS Crisis through Irish Theatre. An Interview with Phillip McMahon
Authors:   University of Almería, Spain, Torres-Fernández J. Javier
Published: March 2024

The playwright and theatre director Phillip McMahon is also co-founder and co-director of THISISPOPBABY, a Dublin arts company founded in 2007 and said to have redefined modern Irish theatre, ripping up the space between popular culture, counterculture and high art. Their shows have played and toured around Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, and beyond. THISISPOPBABY voices queer culture on stage making space for the history and stories of the LGBTIQA+ Irish community positioning itself between performance and politics. The first play written by McMahon purely with LGBTIQA+ characters is Once Before I Go (2021), in which he explores and examines the legacy of the AIDS crisis in Irish queer lives. McMahon does not only voice the community’s historic pain, shame, and stigma, but he also foregrounds the fact that, despite marriage equality, the LGBTIQA+ rights movement has not come to an end. In fact, he claims that, after the COVID-19 pandemic, a wider society is ready to hear stories that have been long buried, forgotten, and suppressed.
