Memahami Sifat Shiddiq Nabi Muhammad SAW Perspektif Bisnis Syariah
Authors: Nafiuddin Nafiuddin
Published: April 2019

The Qur'an is very concerned about ethics in business. The people of Medina are people who often cheat in measuring and weighing, so Allah SWT decreases the surat of al-Mutaffifin as a threat to those who cheat in business. Siddiq is very closely related to business ethics. Siddiq in modern business ethics is often understood by the word “integrity”. Integrity is an essential principle in business. Integrity itself is a way of upholding the values and ethics of business. The values and ethics in doing business clearly have a big contribution in doing business. Integrity in business alone must be invested in someone who wants to run a business or is running a business. Business people must make this integrity a basic principle in their business.Siddiq (integrity, honesty) is defined as the basis of speech, beliefs and actions based on Islamic teachings. So that it can be concluded that the nature of Siddiq is still very relevant to modern business ethics, or in other languages that the nature of Siddiq is universal business ethics meaning that it does not recognize the basic values underlying the ethics.

Published: April 2019

Background: Giardia.lamblia (G.lamblia), Entamoeba histolytica (E.histolytica), Blastocyistis hominis (B. hominis ) and Cryptosporidium spp. infections have been frequently reported as etiological agents for gastroenteritis but also as common gut inhabitants in healthy individuals. Co-infections with protozoa pathogens were previously described but little is known about whether these assemblages are purely random or structured in communities.
Methods From 1st July 2016 to 31st March 2017, fresh stool samples were collected from randomly selected individuals in sentinel hospitals in Tengchong City, Yunnan Province, China. molecular biology method was used to detect G.lamblia, E.histolytica, Cryptosporidium spp and B. hominis. Sequencing was applied to confirm the these protozoon genotypes. The data analysis method was involved chi-square test, multivariable logistic regression, null models and Partial least square regression (PLSR) methods with R 3.2 software.
Results: The prevalence of the four enteric protozoa in all subjects were (in order of frequency of detection) : B.hominis 9.5% [95%Confidence Interval (CI) 7.1-12.4%], G.lamblia 2.2% (95%CI 1.1-3.8%); E.hystolitica 2.0% (95%CI 0.9-3.6%) whereas Cryptosporidium spp. was not detected at all. The prevalence of, at least, one enteric protozoa was 12.4% (95%CI 9.7-15.6), and the prevalence of 2 different enteric protozoa species was 1.2% (95%CI 0.4-2.6). The most common co-infection found was E.histolytica and B.hominis, (1.0%; 95%CI 0.3-2.2). Regarding genetic profiles, 10 out of 11 G.lamblia strains were classified in assemblage A, sub-assemblage I, and 1 sample was classified in assemblage B, sub-assemblage IV. B.hominis was detected in 48 samples, 25 were classified as genotype III, 13 as genotype I, 8 samples as genotype VII and the 2 remaining isolates as genotype IV. Our null modelling confirmed the random protozoa co-occurrence and our PLSR analysis the lack of association between these enteric pathogens and clinical symptomatology.
Conclusions: The occurrence of these enteric protozoa was purely random. Not specific interactions were detected between the four protozoa studied and neither their presence, jointly or separately, nor the patient’s age were predictors for developing clinical symptoms associated with these pathogens. Further research including a broader range of pathogen species is needed to address remaining knowledge gaps in co-infections and diarrhoeal disease.
Sero-epidemiology of Hepatitis C Virus and Malaria (Plasmodium falciparum) Co-infection among pregnant women Attending National Hospital Abuja in Central Nigeria
Authors: PETER ASAGA MAC , SALIHU HALIMA , OKWOLI AMALI
Published: April 2019

Background

Hepatitis C virus is an RNA virus of the flaviviridae family and appears to have humans and chimpanzees as the only species susceptible to its infection [1]. Infection is often asymptomatic but once established, chronic infection can lead to scarring of the liver (fibrosis) and advanced scarring (cirrhosis) which is generally apparent after many years [2]. It is a major and growing public health problem that can easily lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma [3].

Methods

This study was conducted on one hundred and thirty (130) pregnant women of reproductive age (15 – 45 years) who were randomly selected at National hospital Abuja. 5 ml of blood was obtained from study participants for rapid HCV screening and malaria thick films and thin films for parasite densities and parasite species identification.

Result

The preponderance of HCV was 130 (17.1%), malaria (49.4%) and HCV and malaria co-infection was (10.9%), of the hundred and thirty (130) samples obtained from pregnant women in the Abuja National Hospital.

Conclusion

The sero-prevalence of HCV infection and its infectivity is high in central Nigeria. This study findings guide the want for routine HCV and malaria screening among pregnant women at some stage in antenatal care within the region and Nigeria. It also form a base for continual education campaign about HCV amongst rural/Urban pregnant mothers/women and food vendors in central states and other parts of Nigeria. Those efforts will guarantee top of the line and better outcome for excellent health care delivery for the expecting mothers and other health care providers in our hospitals.

Authors: Li Runpu , Zheng Zhong , Li Wanyue , Ying Jun , Song Yanan , Zhang Ying , Zhang Maonian
Published: April 2019

Background

To investigate the characteristics of epidemiology, clinical treatment and economic cost structure of inpatients with diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Chinese grade IIIA hospitals.

Methods

Data from the medical record home page (IMRHP) of all inpatients with DR from October 2001 to September 2014 were retrieved from the information management center system of 94 grade IIIA hospitals.

Results

A total of 65,759 inpatients with DR (71,686 eyes) were enrolled, accounting for 14.00% of all ophthalmology hospitalizations. During the 14-year period, the average length of hospitalization of DR inpatients and the average preoperative time dropped by 49.74% and 48.09%, respectively (p < 0.001). The proportion of vitrectomies increased from 10.53% to 15.62%, and the proportion of intravitreal injections increased from 0% to 4.84%. The average hospitalization cost in 2014 was 2.2 times greater than in 2001, but the increase was lower than that of the per capita annual income in China.

Conclusions

The number of inpatients, the number of surgeries, and hospitalization costs show a significant upward trend. The statistics of the IMRHP data can provide reasonable suggestions and scientific support for the prevention and treatments of DR.
Functional versus functional and anatomical criteria-guided ranibizumab treatment in patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration – results from the randomized, phase IIIb OCTAVE study
Authors: Staurenghi Giovanni , Garweg Justus G. , Gerendas Bianca S. , Macfadden Wayne , Gekkiev Boris , Margaron Philippe , Dunger-Baldauf Cornelia , Kolář Petr
Published: April 2019

Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of two individualized ranibizumab retreatment schemes in neovascular age-related macular degeneration.
Methods: Patients (N=671) were randomized (1:1) to receive three initial monthly ranibizumab 0.5 mg injections, then retreatment guided by either best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) loss (Group I) or BCVA loss and/or signs of disease activity on optical coherence tomography (OCT; Group II). The study was terminated prematurely, as OCT-guided treatment became standard of care during the study period. Post-hoc efficacy analyses were performed on patients who completed 12 months of the originally planned 24-month study. Safety analyses are presented for all safety analyzable patients.
Results: Of 671 randomized patients, 305 completed 12 months. At baseline, the mean (standard deviation) BCVA and reading-center evaluated central subfield thickness (CSFT) were 60.9 (13.10) letters and 517.7(201.79) µm, respectively in Group I and 60.2 (12.21) letters and 515.3 (198.37) µm in Group II. The change from baseline at Month 12 in BCVA was 6.7 (13.48) letters in Group I and 8.3 (13.53) letters in Group II and the change in CSFT was −161.3 (163.48) µm and −175.3 (170.45) µm, respectively. The mean number of injections was 8.2 in Group I and 8.4 in Group II.
Conclusion: Ranibizumab treatment resulted in visual and anatomic gains at 12 months for both retreatment strategies, with a trend in favor of OCT-guided vs BCVA loss guided retreatment. No new safety signals were seen.
Touch fingerprint sensor based on sensor cell isolation technique with pseudo direct signaling
Authors: Yeo Hyeopgoo
Published: April 2019

This paper presents a 96 × 96 fingerprint sensor implemented with 0.25 μm standard CMOS technology. The implemented fingerprint sensor is based on a pseudo-direct signaling scheme that does not require an electrode for signal transmission. And the pseudo-direct signaling was combined with sensor cell isolation scheme which controls the unwanted influx of the electric fields effectively. And a pipelined scan technique was applied for fast fingerprint image capture while maintaining SNR performance. It was fabricated with 0.25 μm standard CMOS technology and was molded with 80 μm-thick epoxy after fabrication. The fingerprint sensor was tested with ARM board combined with PC applications. The obtained fingerprint images from the fingerprint sensor were enhanced to reduce the noise of the obtained images by using filtering technique, such as Wiener, 2D Gaussian, and 2D FIR filtering. From the test results, it was concluded that the implemented fingerprint sensor with the isolation scheme worked well without bezel electrode and can be used in biometric authentication systems effectively.
Conformal field theory on top of a breathing one-dimensional gas of hard core bosons
Authors: Ruggiero Paola , Brun Yannis , Dubail Jerome
Published: April 2019

The recent results of [J. Dubail, J.-M. Stéphan, J. Viti, P.
Calabrese, Scipost Phys. 2, 002 (2017)], which aim at providing access
to large scale correlation functions of inhomogeneous critical
one-dimensional quantum systems —e.g. a gas of hard core bosons in a
trapping potential— are extended to a dynamical situation: a breathing
gas in a time-dependent harmonic trap. Hard core bosons in a
time-dependent harmonic potential are well known to be exactly solvable,
and can thus be used as a benchmark for the approach. An extensive
discussion of the approach and of its relation with classical and
quantum hydrodynamics in one dimension is given, and new formulas for
correlation functions, not easily obtainable by other methods, are
derived. In particular, a remarkable formula for the large scale
asymptotics of the bosonic \boldsymbol{n}𝐧-particle
function
\boldsymbol{\left< \Psi^\dagger (x_1,t_1) \dots \Psi^\dagger (x_n,t_n) \Psi(x_1',t_1') \dots \Psi(x_n',t_n') \right>}
is obtained. Numerical checks of the approach are carried out for the
fermionic two-point function —easier to access numerically in the
microscopic model than the bosonic one— with perfect agreement.

The quantitative analysis of the influence of environmental factors on the water yield capacity: a study in Haihe river basin, China
Authors: Zhang Qiufen , Liu Jiakai , Chen Lihua , Yu Xinxiao
Published: April 2019

Many studies have qualitatively analyzed the response of hydrological characteristics to climate change in Haihe river basin, but quantitative research has been rare, which is essential for water resource management. To evaluate and quantitatively analyze the relationship between catchment runoff capacity and environmental factors, principal component analysis, step regression analysis, and sensitivity analysis were conducted. The results show that the runoff capacity of Haihe river basin was mainly controlled by vegetation types and soil texture; catchments with lower runoff capacity were mainly distributed in the upstream/northwest regions. In the catchments with middle runoff capacity, a 10% increase in precipitation (PRE), potential evapotranspiration (PE), and plant-available water coefficient (PAWC) would result in a 23.6% increase, 12.9% decrease, and 5.1% decrease in annual runoff, respectively, whereas in low runoff capacity catchments, a 10% increase in slope and leaf area index (LAI) would result in a 17.8% increase and 10.5% decrease in annual runoff, and in high runoff capacity catchments, a 10% increase in normalized differential vegetation index (NDVI) would result in a 12.6% increase in annual runoff. Soil conditions and vegetation configuration improvement in the upstream of Haihe river basin may contribute to the improvement of available water resources.
A disputa dos sentidos: um marco pragmático para a sociologia do direito
Authors: Barbosa Aloizio Lima
Published: April 2019

O debate sobre as leis, as instituições jurídicas e o judiciário de uma forma geral tem assumido, principalmente no Brasil, um lugar central para a compreensão das questões que envolvem o direito e a política. Com essas relações em mente, efetivamente preocupado em localizar o direito dentro de sentidos que assumam, direta e indiretamente, conotações morais, pergunto: como abordar a relação entre direito e moral não perdendo de vista uma discussão propriamente política, uma discussão sobre poder? Para responder a esta questão, parto da sociologia do campo jurídico, recuperando a reflexão bourdieusiana sobre o lugar do direito no problema da ordem social. Depois, levando em consideração as críticas que Bourdieu recebeu, principalmente relacionadas ao conceito de agência e ao lugar da reflexividade, tento relê-lo à luz do pragmatismo francês, mais especificamente do trabalho de Luc Boltanski. Assim, concluo que a relação entre lei e moral pode ser analisada a partir do conceito de instituição jurídica, desenvolvido por Boltanski, adaptando-o para fundamentar um marco pragmático para a sociologia do direito, preocupado com a relação entre direito, moral e política.
Tráfico de mulheres para fins de exploração sexual: uma análise comparativa entre Moçambique e Brasil
Authors: Maloa Joaquim Miranda , Franze José Joaquim
Published: April 2019

Este artigo visa através de uma sociologia de Direito, identificar os principais fatores que contribuem para a ocorrência de tráfico de mulheres para a exploração sexual, tanto em Moçambique, como no Brasil, bem como o seu tratamento legal. Para isso, foi desenvolvido uma análise comparativa, por meio de uma pesquisa bibliográfica. O resultado da pesquisa, aponta que o tráfico de mulheres para fins de exploração sexual constitui uma realidade nos dois países. Em Moçambique, as mulheres traficadas frequentemente são transferidas para África do Sul, enquanto que no Brasil são deslocadas para o continente Europeu, alegadamente, porque alguém-lhes prometeu emprego decente, mas chegado ao destino, tornam-se escravas sexuais a favor de terceiros.Palavras-Chave: Tráfico de mulheres.

Direito subjetivo e interesse público no âmbito das relações de trabalho: da dogmática juslaboralista ao funcionalismo sistêmico
Authors: Assumpção Luiz Felipe Monsores
Published: April 2019

O presente artigo se situa no contexto de estudos recentes, de corte interdisciplinar, a respeito da Inspeção do Trabalho no Brasil. Este fragmento, contudo, se debruça sobre uma questão teórica: o conceito de interesse público deduzido das ações da fiscalização trabalhista. No caso das relações de trabalho, trata-se de discutir se a política de inspeção do trabalho se orienta, de fato, pelo dogmatismo principiológico do direito do trabalho, ou pela percepção do valor da tutela trabalhista, como princípio de decisão do Estado. Partindo da literatura clássica sobre a natureza jurídica do direito do trabalho, adota-se como marco teórico a versão luhmanniana dos sistemas sociais, cujas categorias de análise permitem revisitar certos conceitos que definem o sistema do direito, com o de segurança jurídica, bem como estabelecer a aderência da Inspeção do Trabalho ao sistema político.Palavras-chave: Inspeção do Trabalho. Interesse público. Teoria dos sistemas sociais. Segurança jurídica.

Acceptability and Feasibility of a Telehealth Intervention for Sexually Transmitted Infection Testing Among Male Couples: Protocol for a Pilot Study (Preprint)
Authors: Sullivan Stephen , Sullivan Patrick , Stephenson Rob
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) are at elevated risk for acquiring sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the United States, especially chlamydia and gonorrhea. While research has indicated main partners over casual partners may play a central role in STI risk, the frequency of STI screening among MSM couples is particularly low. Self-sample collection for chlamydia and gonorrhea screening has been shown to be highly accurate, and at-home STI testing has been shown to be highly acceptable among diverse populations. However, there is little research exploring the feasibility and acceptability of at-home chlamydia and gonorrhea screening among MSM couples. Our pilot study aims to help evaluate the viability of this screening modality as an intervention tool for MSM couples

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of an at-home chlamydia and gonorrhea sample collection and remote lab testing program among a sample of 50 MSM couples living in the United States.

METHODS

This pilot study enrolled 50 MSM couples, ranging from 18-40 years old and living in the United States, who participated in a larger at-home HIV testing randomized controlled trial. Participating couples completed a pretest instructional video call and then had the option of completing at-home sample collection across three bodily sites (rectal swab, pharyngeal swab, and urine sample) for remote chlamydia and gonorrhea lab testing. For participants who completed any sample collection, they received their results via a posttest video call. All participants completed an online survey examining satisfaction and acceptability of the home testing process, experience with logistics, willingness to test at home in the future, recent sexual risk behavior, STI testing history, and linkage to care. A subset of 10 couples completed an in-depth interview about their attitudes towards the sample collection process, different decisions they made while collecting their samples, and their experience accessing treatment (for those who received a positive result).

RESULTS

Recruitment began in September 2017, and as of March 2019 a total of 50 couples have been enrolled. Overall, 49/50 couples have returned their samples and completed the posttest delivery call, and 10 in-depth interviews have been completed and transcribed.

CONCLUSIONS

Screening MSM couples at home for chlamydia and gonorrhea and providing video-facilitated results delivery may offer a tailored approach to address the increasing prevalence of these STIs. By collecting data on how MSM couples experience at-home STI screening, this project will provide valuable insight into the utility of such a service delivery program to public health interventionists and researchers alike.
Physical Activity Monitoring Using a Fitbit Device in Ischemic Stroke Patients: Prospective Cohort Feasibility Study (Preprint)
Authors: Katzan Irene , Schuster Andrew , Kinzy Tyler
Published: April 2019

BACKGROUND

Continuous tracking of ambulatory activity in real-world settings using step activity monitors has many potential uses. However, feasibility, accuracy, and correlation with performance measures in stroke patients have not been well-established.

OBJECTIVE

The primary study objective was to determine adherence with wearing a consumer-grade step activity monitor, the Fitbit Charge HR, in home-going ischemic stroke patients during the first 90 days after hospital discharge. Secondary objectives were to (1) determine accuracy of step counts of the Fitbit Charge HR compared with a manual tally; (2) calculate correlations between the Fitbit step counts and the mobility performance scores at discharge and 30 days after stroke; (3) determine variability and change in weekly step counts over 90 days; and (4) evaluate patient experience with using the Fitbit Charge HR poststroke.

METHODS

A total of 15 participants with recent mild ischemic stroke wore a Fitbit Charge HR for 90 days after discharge and completed 3 mobility performance tests from the National Institutes of Health Toolbox at discharge and Day 30: (1) Standing Balance Test, (2) 2-Minute Walk Endurance Test, and (3) 4-Meter Walk Gait Speed Test. Accuracy of step activity monitors was assessed by calculating differences in steps recorded on the step activity monitor and a manual tally during 2-minute walk tests.

RESULTS

Participants had a mean age of 54 years and a median modified Rankin scale score of 1. Mean daily adherence with step activity monitor use was 83.6%. Mean daily step count in the first week after discharge was 4376. Daily step counts increased slightly during the first 30 days after discharge (average increase of 52.5 steps/day; 95% CI 32.2-71.8) and remained stable during the 30-90 day period after discharge. Mean step count difference between step activity monitor and manual tally was –4.8 steps (–1.8%). Intraclass correlation coefficients for step counts and 2-minute walk, standing balance, and 4-meter gait speed at discharge were 0.41 (95% CI –0.14 to 0.75), –0.12 (95% CI –0.67 to 0.64), and 0.17 (95% CI –0.46 to 0.66), respectively. Values were similarly poor at 30 days.

CONCLUSIONS

The use of consumer-grade Fitbit Charge HR in patients with recent mild stroke is feasible with reasonable adherence and accuracy. There was poor correlation between step counts and gait speed, balance, and endurance. Further research is needed to evaluate the association between step counts and other outcomes relevant to patients, including patient-reported outcomes and measures of physical function.
A modalização epistêmica asseverativa na construção argumentativa de entrevistas de seleção de emprego
Authors: Adelino Francisca Janete da Silva , Nascimento Erivaldo Pereira do
Published: April 2019

A relação entre elementos da língua e a argumentação é concebida, no âmbito da Linguística, como sendo de natureza inseparável. Neste trabalho, objetivamos investigar o funcionamento argumentativo dos modalizadores epistêmicos asseverativos na construção do gênero entrevista de seleção de emprego, a partir da análise de um corpus composto por vinte e duas entrevistas de seleção de emprego.  Para tal, fundamentamo-nos nos estudos sobre a Modalização Discursiva, a partir de Lyons (1977), Palmer (2001), Castilho e Castilho (2002), Koch (2010) e Nascimento e Silva (2012), além dos estudos sobre a argumentação linguística de Ducrot (1988). A análise mostra o funcionamento argumentativo dos modalizadores epistêmicos asseverativos nos pontos de marcação de um comprometimento tanto por parte do entrevistador quanto por parte do entrevistado em relação ao dito. Tais modalizadores avaliam os ditos como incontestáveis, criando a imagem de um locutor comprometido e engajado com o conteúdo de seu dizer. Ademais, a argumentatividade das entrevistas não foi gerada apenas pela utilização de determinadas palavras e expressões, que imprimem o caráter de certeza no enunciado, mas também pelo recurso da entonação de ênfase e pelo recurso da repetição, os quais funcionaram como modalizadores asseverativos em alguns enunciados proferidos pelos entrevistadores (L1) e pelos entrevistados (L2).
Argumentação e livro didático: por uma parceria efetiva
Authors: Motta Caroline Gomes , Vier Sabrina
Published: April 2019

Planejar uma aula sobre argumentação, principalmente para a Educação Básica, é um desafio que precisa ser encarado pelo professor de Língua de Portuguesa – ainda mais se pensarmos o papel dessa prática social proposto na Base Comum Curricular Nacional. Tendo por base a Teoria Semiolinguística, de Patrick Chauraudeau, objetivou-se verificar se as atividades propostas nos livros didáticos de 6º a 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental dão o suporte necessário para o desenvolvimento de senso crítico nos alunos. Para tal, serão apresentados os resultados obtidos a partir de análise da coleção “Português - Linguagens”, de William Cereja e Thereza Cochar por meio de pesquisa quantitativa e qualitativa. Os resultados obtidos indicam que os professores precisam extrapolar o livro didático, pois as atividades ali presentes não dão conta de abordar a argumentação como prática social, tornando a tarefa de desenvolver o senso crítico nos alunos pouco efetiva.
Greve do magistério estadual do RS em 2017: a polêmica e a representação do professor por meio do argumento ad hominem
Authors: Bartikoski Fernanda Vanessa Machado , Giering Maria Eduarda
Published: April 2019

Na Retórica aristotélica e nos estudos da Nova Retórica, de Perelman e Olbrechts-Tyteca (2014), o objetivo da argumentação era a adesão dos espíritos: o orador deveria, junto ao seu auditório, buscar o consenso. Na sociedade atual, no entanto, essa intenção dá espaço ao cultivo da polêmica, caracterizando o que Amossy (2017a; 2017b) denomina de retórica do dissenso. Para apresentar sua opinião, algumas pessoas recorrem a argumentos ad hominem, atacando a pessoa do seu adversário, e não seus argumentos (FIORIN, 2015). Diante disso, este artigo analisa a polêmica instaurada durante a greve dos professores estaduais gaúchos, em 2017. Procuramos estudar como leitores-comentaristas do Portal G1 RS construíram seus discursos, por meio de argumentos ad hominem, e ainda apontar possíveis representações que esses leitores tinham dos professores grevistas. Dos 44 comentários coletados, 15 apresentam argumentos ad hominem. Destes, 3 foram analisados neste artigo. A análise foi organizada em duas partes: (1) análise dos comentários com base na definição do discurso polêmico (AMOSSY, 2017b); (2) categorização dos 15 comentários, para expressar a representação que os leitores tinham dos professores grevistas. Os resultados apontam que o ataque à pessoa dos professores pode ser enquadrado em duas perspectivas: (1) parte dos leitores atribuem aos docentes o papel de militantes, principalmente de esquerda; (2) a outra parte entende que os professores têm comportamentos inadequados. Em suma, percebeu-se que os comentários, num discurso de dissenso, levantaram uma série de acusações para deslegitimar as reivindicações do magistério gaúcho.
Análise dialógica da argumentação polêmica: uma hipótese geral
Authors: Silva Lucas Nascimento
Published: April 2019

Tudo adquire sentido ao ser humano ao redor de “um centro concreto de valores que é pensado, visto, amado” (BAKHTIN, 2010, p. 124). É a partir desse centro de amores que o homem age responsavelmente em relação ao outro, de maneira que a compreensão do dialogismo polêmico tem de ter isso em foco ao visar um sujeito polemizando. Desse modo, é razoável afirmar que o ato de guerrear polemicamente pressupõe a reação a um valor amado que está ameaçado por um valor contrário, portanto, por um valor que se odeia por ameaçar o que se ama. Na perspectiva de uma análise dialógica da argumentação, resultado do encontro entre Bakhtin e Perelman e Olbrechts-Tyteca, proposta em meu trabalho de doutorado, trago uma reflexão teórica e discuto os fundamentos da hipótese de que a polêmica é um ódio velado aos valores amados do outro, manifestando-se argumentativamente, sobretudo, pela polarização, cujas características particulares vão se delineando no processo argumentativo concreto. A partir dessa hipótese, outras são delineadas e testadas, servindo de dispositivos analíticos para a compreensão da polêmica religiosoafetiva em torno da discussão do Projeto de Lei anti-homofobia, no Senado Federal do Brasil.

À luz da teoria da argumentação na língua (DUCROT, 1987; ANSCOMBRE; DUCROT, 1988; FIORIN, 2016; CABRAL, 2017) e da referenciação (KOCH; MARCUSCHI, 1998; MONDADA; DUBOIS, 2003; CIULLA; SILVA, 2008), o presente trabalho objetivou apontar como os processos dêiticos (BENVENISTE, 1976; MAALEJ, 2003; CASTILHO, 2010; SANTOS; MORAIS, 2017) temporal e pessoal são importantes elementos constitutivos na construção de distintos artigos de opinião, revelando objetivos argumentativos de seus respectivos enunciadores. Dessa maneira, avaliando as diferentes escolhas lexicais que se realizam no projeto de dizer, constatamos que a referenciação, por meio da dêixis, serve como um importante meio para revelar marcas argumentativas, incutindo posicionamentos axiológicos.
Designing and Building Interactive Curation Pipelines for Natural Hazards in Engineering Data
Authors: Esteva Maria , Jansen Craig , Coronel Josue Balandrano
Published: April 2019

To design data curation pipelines within DesignSafe-CI, we gathered requirements and sought regular guidance from a group of experts in different aspects of natural hazards engineering research. Upon achieving understanding of experimental, simulation, hybrid simulation and field reconnaissance research workflows, we created four data models to guide data organization and developed specialized vocabularies as metadata. We then translated the models and metadata to interface design (front-end), and selected the infrastructure resources that would support curation and publication functions (back-end). We used iterative design and testing, including the use of interactive mockups of the GUI, to communicate and elicit feedback from the experts, and mapped real datasets to the mockups to evaluate the fitness of the data models, the clarity of the curation tasks. To address the problem of big data interfaces, we provide data representations that highlight the structure of the datasets and the possibility to browse their components in relation to provenance.

El uso de experimentos científicos caseros como apoyo en la educación virtual
Authors: Mayerhofer Natasha , Cabrera Eduardo
Published: April 2019

El presente artículo discute sobre la experiencia del uso de experimentos científicos caseros en las unidades de aprendizaje Biología para la vida cotidiana, Química Orgánica y Química Inorgánica desde la óptica de los docentes encargados, respaldados por la opinión de algunos estudiantes. Para esta iniciativa se recurrió a diversos experimentos como: el reciclaje, producción de plástico, neutralización ácido-base, entre otros. Fueron propuestos, inicialmente, a partir de una guía detallada, paso a paso de cómo llevar a cabo el experimento, con preguntas estimulantes y un reporte preestructurado. Sin embargo, a lo largo de las unidades de aprendizaje, se concedió cada vez más autonomía a los estudiantes quienes cumplieron exitosamente todas las indicaciones, demostrando un gran progreso en su desarrollo metodológico-científico.
El uso de Facebook como estrategia de tutoría y acompañamiento en estudiantes de educación media superior
Authors: Manrique Pérez Carolina Elizabeth
Published: April 2019

El mundo actual exige el uso de diferentes formas de comunicación y los avances tecnológicos hacen que las personas pasen más tiempo frente una computadora utilizando las diferentes herramientas que el Internet les ofrece. 

Las redes sociales actualmente son una excelente herramienta para trabajar con los alumnos; una de las principales es Facebook, actualmente la más usada por las personas en todas partes. Esta red permite el contacto entre grupos, la publicación de imágenes, videos y mensajería instantánea como parte de los servicios que ofrece. 

El tutor puede apoyarse en esta herramienta para dar acompañamiento académico e incluso proporcionar consejo psicológico cuando el tutorado lo requiera, apoyándose en la mensajería privada; si bien entre las dificultades está el tiempo que el tutor debe dedicar a Facebook, esta red social resulta una excelente estrategia para tener un mayor acercamiento con el alumno.
Opiniones de los estudiantes sobre los roles de los profesores en ambientes de educación asincrónicos en el siglo XXI
Authors: Gómez-Rey Pilar , Barbera Elena , Fernández-Navarro Francisco
Published: April 2019

El presente artículo determina qué roles educativos y qué resultados son importantes en el siglo XXI desde el punto de vista de los estudiantes en ambientes de aprendizaje asincrónicos. A fin de definir el rendimiento de los profesores, se utilizó revisión de literatura, entrevistas de fondo con expertos y un estudio piloto con alumnos. En esta investigación, los roles se determinaron utilizando una muestra de 925 estudiantes y siguiendo una metodología cuantitativa, contrario a lo que han llevado a cabo otros investigadores quienes, de acuerdo a nuestra información, abordaron el mismo tema siguiendo un análisis cualitativo. Los hallazgos apuntan a que un nuevo rol ha surgido: el de promotor de habilidades de vida. Además, los análisis del resto (roles pedagógicos, de diseño, social, técnico y de gestión) arrojaron que: 1) los profesores en línea son, antes que nada, pedagogos; 2) el diseño de un programa en línea ejerce influencia sobre los roles pedagógicos y de diseño y 3) el rol de gestión ha perdido relevancia con el paso de los años debido al desarrollo de situaciones más intuitivas y transparentes desde el inicio del curso.

Un reto para las publicaciones científicas en Colombia
Authors: Enríquez García Mónica Alejandra
Published: April 2019

Ante el anuncio de un nuevo modelo propuesto por Colciencias para la indexación de revistas colombianas, las instituciones se vieron en la necesidad de iniciar un proceso de ajustes en las políticas editoriales con base en parámetros de medición que hasta ese momento no constituían información oficial; a fin de que sus revistas continuaran indexadas por el IBN - Publindex de Colciencias. Como se avizoraba, muchas revistas no cumplieron con los requisitos mínimos debido a varios factores que enmarcan el contexto de la labor editorial de la revistas científicas, entre ellos, los costos que implica dicha labor, la mínima cantidad de horas semanales que se asigna al editor para esta función, la exigencia de que las revistas estén incluidas en diversas bases de datos del conocimiento, como una estrategia para incrementar su visibilidad ante la comunidad científica internacional, la imperante necesidad de publicar en un segundo idioma, entre otros, constituyeron la antesala de argumentos para que más del 50% de las revistas en el país perdieran la indexación; que más que una categoría, representa el esfuerzo de equipos editoriales por mantener vivo un proyecto que generalmente nació con el propósito de publicar resultados de investigación de la región donde pertenecen.
