Análise dos personagens Zahy e Tatá em histórias Tenetehara
Authors: Aquino Neliane Raquel Macedo , Sousa Ana Gabriela Castelo Branco
Published: October 2024

A literatura, como construto inerente à sociedade humana, revela constituições sobre o ser no mundo e o estar no mundo e sobre as formas de relação do homem com a natureza. Nesse caminho, pensar a literatura dos povos indígenas nos permite não apenas compreender os aspectos culturais dos povos originários, mas refletir sobre a formação social a que chegamos. Assim sendo, torna-se relevante compreender as constituições na obra concreta da literatura que temos contato, especialmente em se tratando de uma literatura pouco estudada. Além disso, a lei 11645/2008 assegura a necessidade de estudo sobre os povos indígenas no currículo escolar, para promoção do resgate e da valorização culturais. Dessa forma, este trabalho contribui para o conhecimento literário sobre a literatura indígena, a partir da obra Histórias do céu contadas por Zahy e Tatá (Sá, Silva, 2016), por meio de levantamento teórico e análise da história que compõe o livro. A pesquisa seguiu preceitos da metodologia de pesquisa em literatura (Durão, 2020), tendo como foco a constituição e concepção literária dos povos indígenas e, por conseguinte, caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa bibliográfica e qualitativa. As análises sobre a obra auxiliam no aprofundamento do conhecimento sobre o fazer literário e cultural dos povos indígenas, em especial do povo Tenetehara que faz moradia no Maranhão.

Manifestações culturais: o impacto pandêmico na sociedade
Authors: Tomás Káren Martins , Nobre Lucas Santos
Published: October 2024

O objetivo do artigo é explorar a interação entre a pandemia e as manifestações culturais, utilizando uma abordagem qualitativa de dados bibliográficos. O aporte analítico se assenta nos pressupostos metodológicos de Marc Bloch (2001) para fundamentar a análise bibliográfica sobre as manifestações culturais, e o impacto pandêmico do Covid-19. A globalização é discutida como um fator que intensifica o mercado de informações e tem um grande impacto nas identidades culturais. Bauman (2007) reflete sobre a sociedade contemporânea e suas características fluidas e efêmeras, influenciando as manifestações culturais. O tema da intolerância religiosa (Nogueira, 2020) também é abordado no contexto da pandêmico, destacando as modificações nas formas de manifestação ao longo da história. A pesquisa analisa as manifestações culturais como uma forma de resistência (Bhabha, 2007), onde mesmo com o impacto direto da pandemia buscou-se alternativas de continuar com suas festividades, e como esses elementos interculturais (Candau, 2016) englobam a identidade de um povo, além de quebrar fronteiras simbólicas impostas pelo não aceitar o "outro".

Published: October 2024

Introduction: Teratomas are benign germ cell tumors composed of components from the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. While germ cell tumors account for 10-20% of anterior mediastinal masses, intrapulmonary teratomas (IPTs) are extremely rare. They typically occur in the third decade of life and may present as metastasis from gonadal tumors. This study reports a rare case of a mature IPT in the right middle lobe of the lung, initially misdiagnosed as pulmonary tuberculosis and aspergilloma. Case Presentation: A 17-year-old female presented with a 4-year history of cough with sputum and two episodes of hemoptysis. Despite negative tuberculosis tests, she was treated with anti-tubercular drugs and multiple antibiotics. Imaging revealed a 5.5-cm cavitary mass in the right middle lobe containing an aspergilloma. Surgical resection was performed, and the pathology confirmed a mature teratoma with aspergilloma colonization. The patient recovered well postoperatively and showed no signs of recurrence. Discussion: Teratomas are germ cell tumors rarely found in the lungs, with fewer than 100 cases reported globally. Diagnosis is challenging due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions such as tuberculosis. In this case, the presence of an aspergilloma further complicated the diagnosis. Complete surgical resection led to the patient's recovery. Conclusion: Mature IPTs with aspergilloma are extremely rare, and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cavitary lung lesions. Early diagnosis and surgical resection are crucial for successful treatment.
A comprehensive outline towards conciliation in the contemporary world of E-commerce
Authors: Vinod N  , Poonam Gupta
Published: October 2024

Since the start of the millennial era, technical advancements have led to exponential growth in electronic commerce, or e-commerce. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), e-commerce sales reached about US$25 trillion globally in 2021 [1] and are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 9% through 2027, which is twice as fast as the 4% annual growth rate predicted for traditional in-person retail [2]. Online dispute resolution (ODR) techniques that aim to settle disagreements and lower the likelihood of expensive lawsuits are becoming more and more necessary as both individuals and corporations use online shopping platforms. Due of its legally binding nature, arbitration is the most formal method, as was briefly discussed [3]. Online arbitration is carried out using electronic methods, like email and digital tools designed to make the duties of arbitrators and parties to a dispute easier. It adheres to the same rules and processes as traditional arbitration. On the plus side of e-arbitration, advancements in technology allow for time and cost savings without sacrificing the ease of remote filing. The conclusion of e-arbitration agreements raises several negative issues, including privacy and data protection issues for the consumer signing the agreements and power imbalances between corporate entities and the consumer. The degree to which artificial intelligence (AI) is effectively and sufficiently analysing a dispute between parties is up for debate because it's unclear how new this adjudication process is.

Methodologically, the article is based on the principles proposed in intellectual and social history, which allows us to perceive Muslim intellectuals involved in the study of the social problems of the Ummah as an imagined community, and their ideas as invented traditions. The article analyses 1) the theoretical and methodological foundations of modern Indonesian sociology of Islam, 2) national specifics and regional features of the development of Islam in Indonesia in modern Muslim thought, 3) the problems of transformation and contradictions of the radicalization of Islam through the prism of understanding and interpreting this dimension of the modern social history of Islam. It is assumed that Muslim intellectuals make a significant contribution to the consolidation of modern identity by analysing both the social characteristics and characteristics of the Ummah, as well as the threats faced by the Indonesian model of Islam in a secular society in the context of the actualization of the ideas of radical Islam. The author's main conclusions include several points: 1) professional Muslim intellectuals make a major contribution to the development of modern Muslim sociology, 2) specialised journals published by Islamic universities play a leading role in the production and relaying of social knowledge based on Islam, 3) modern Muslim intellectual tradition is the subject to fragmentation, but, in general, the scientific tradition of the Ummah actualizes moderate trends in Islamic Sociology, based on the principles of interdisciplinarity.
Islamic activism in Indonesia and its representation by Nahdatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah organizations
Authors: Bezmenov V. V.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes the phenomenon of Islamic activism in the territory of the Republic of Indonesia, broadcast by the country's leading Islamic organizations.

The phenomenon of Islamic activism originated in the middle of the XIX century under the influence of the intervention of Western countries into Islamic regions. Islamic activism as a phenomenon is still not structured, but is a reaction of Muslim society to the challenges of the world. Islamic activism affects absolutely all spheres of human life, from the organization of interest groups to global politics. One of the main properties of Islamic activism is the emergence of large religious organizations that are the conductors of ideologies peculiar to the region where the organization appeared. A striking example is the Islamic organization Nahdatul Ulama, which, unfortunately, is not as studied by domestic researchers as others. The social transformations she has brought to Indonesian and world society through the promotion of Islamic social, political and economic activism are also poorly understood.

Teacher burnout is a growing concern among educators and the communities they serve due to a nationwide shortage of teachers. However, burnout of principals and other school administrators is relatively unexamined. This mixed-methods study of pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade (PK-12) administrators in rural Midwestern districts finds that contributors to burnout included safety and student behavior, lack of resources and support, and mandatory assessments of student learning while choosing to protect energy, support from colleagues and administrators, and making a difference in students’ lives mitigated burnout. Forty-three administrators completed a survey adapted from the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) and the Areas of Worklife Survey (AWS). After survey analysis was completed, six individual interviews with rural school administrators were conducted.
Socialization of Children with Down Syndrome: Developmental, Familial, and Educational Influences – A Narrative Review
Authors: Catama Bryan V.
Published: October 2024

Socialization plays a vital role in the development of children. It encompasses the process of acquiring social norms, behaviors, and necessary skills to build relationships and establish one’s identity. Children with Down syndrome (DS) face unique socialization challenges due to cognitive, communicative, and behavioral impairments. This narrative review examines the interplay of developmental, familial, and educational factors influencing the socialization of children with DS. Cognitive and language delays, emotional and behavioral difficulties, and motor skill deficits are analyzed for their impact on social interactions. Familial support, particularly parental attitudes and sibling dynamics, is also considered. The review assesses the impact of educational environments on peer interactions and social competence, highlighting the benefits of inclusive settings and specialized support. Finally, the review identifies intervention strategies that can enhance social engagement and suggests areas for future research to improve the quality of life for children with DS.

Mental health problems in adolescence can have lasting impacts on health, educational and socioeconomic outcomes across the life course. However, current approaches in adolescent mental health do not fully capture the complexity of adolescents’ social and emotional contexts. Classic methods to understand influences on mental health take an individual-centred and decontextualised approach. This paper presents two elements of a SOCial sITuational Systems (SOCITS) approach, a novel methodology for identifying social situations and contextual factors that may influence adolescent mental health. We demonstrate the SOCITS approach to data collection and analysis within the context of two Scottish secondary schools. The first element is youth-led remote walking interviews with pupils, and the second element is staff-pupil systems thinking workshops. The SOCITS approach helped to uncover situations (S); contextual features of situations (C), interactions in the situation (I), responses to situations (R), and improvements to situations (I) related to stress loneliness, and mental health stigma. The SCIRI framework for data collection and analysis is transferrable to other topics and social contexts, and is suitable for rapid implementation by researchers, practitioners, and peer researchers.

The commentary outlined five lessons learned in the process of conducting a youth-led research study in Malawi and Zambia on youth sexual and reproductive health and rights for the Break Free! Program. The five lessons draw from the challenges and successes that the authors identified during this process. The data from the authors’ personal reflections documented via notes and an evaluation conducted with the youth reference group members were thematically organised and discussed between the authors. The commentary outlined that meaningfully involving youth in the study methods, not only as study participants but also with a youth-led research team and a youth reference group enhanced study findings and increased their relevance. The combination of seasoned youth researchers working with emerging youth researchers from prior collaborations laid a good foundation to implement the study and was identified as a success factor. Fostering a positive working culture that centered peer-to-peer support and the expertise of researchers in and from the ‘Global South’ was acknowledged as a key success by the authors in having a fair partnership that shifted power. However, time taken for mentoring, training, and knowledge exchange, between youth researchers as well as with the youth reference group was under-estimated and under-budgeted. Lastly, the support of an established institution was instrumental in the conceptualization and execution of the study and functioned as a pre-condition for success. While youth-led research may not be suited to every context, its principles of equity and participation can transform both the young participants and the research process.
The Use of the Grimacing Face Emoji and its Relation to Bruxism and Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
Authors: Soler Aina Garí
Published: October 2024

Certain aspects of a person's health and well-being may be revealed from how they communicate. Emojis play nowadays an important role in computer-mediated interactions, and are used every day by a large number of people as a means to convey emotions and meaning. We investigate the use of a specific emoji, the grimacing face (GF) emoji 😬, and its association with the presence of two medical conditions involving the act of jaw clenching depicted on it: Bruxism and Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD). We collect and analyze survey responses from 261 individuals. Our results unveil a significant but weak association between bruxism/TMJD diagnosis and self-reported GF emoji use.
Fact-Checking Election-Campaign Misinformation: Impacts on Noncommitted Voters’ Feelings and Behavior

Making misleading statements may benefit a politician, for example during an election campaign. However, there are potentially also negative consequences; political misinformation can taint democratic debate, voters may be misled into forming false beliefs, and being fact-checked may damage a politician’s reputation. Previous research has found that correcting misleading statements made by established politicians reduces topical misperceptions, but hardly affects voter feelings and support. Here, we examined the impact of political misinformation and fact-checking when politicians are unfamiliar. Participants (N = 406) were engaged in a simulated election campaign set in an unfamiliar country, featuring statements from fictional candidates. Participants indicated their feelings toward the candidates, cast a vote, and rated their belief in the fact-checked statements. Misleading statements that were not corrected positively affected feelings towards and voting for (right-leaning) politicians. Corrective fact-checks had large effects, reducing belief in misinformation, and fact-checked candidates were viewed much less favorably and attracted far fewer votes. This demonstrates that in the absence of strong pre-existing attitudes, corrective fact-checks can negatively impact misinformation-spreading politicians who are not (yet) well-known.
