BACKGROUND

Homeless services expend considerable resources to provide for service users’ most basic needs, such as food and shelter, but their track record for ending homelessness is disappointing. An alternative model, Housing First, reversed the order of services so that homeless individuals are offered immediate access to independent housing, with wraparound supports but no treatment or abstinence requirements. Although the evidence base for Housing First’s effectiveness in ending homelessness is robust, less is known about its effectiveness in promoting recovery.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this research is to compare rehabilitation- and recovery-related outcomes of homeless services users who are engaged in either Housing First or traditional staircase services in eight European countries: France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden.

METHODS

A mixed methods, multi-site investigation of Housing First and traditional services will compare quantitative outcomes at two time points. Key rehabilitation outcomes include stable housing and psychiatric symptoms. Key growth outcomes include community integration and acquired capabilities. Semistructured interviews will be used to examine service users’ experiences of environmental constraints and affordances on acquired capabilities to identify features of homeless services that enhance service users’ capabilities sets. Multi-level modelling will be used to test for group differences—Housing First versus traditional services—on key outcome variables. Thematic analysis will be used to understand the ways in which service users make sense of internal and external affordances and constraints on capabilities.

RESULTS

The study is registered with the European Commission (registration number: H2020-SC6-REVINEQUAL-2016/ GA726997). Two press releases, a research report to the funding body, two peer-reviewed articles, and an e-book chapter are planned for dissemination of the final results. The project was funded from September 2016 through September 2019. Expected results will be disseminated in 2019 and 2020.

CONCLUSIONS

We will use the findings from this research to formulate recommendations for European social policy on the configuration of homeless services and the scaling up and scaling out of Housing First programs. From our findings, we will draw conclusions about the setting features that promote individuals’ exits from homelessness, rehabilitation, and recovery.

Analyzing Nursing Students’ Relation to Electronic Health and Technology as Individuals and Students and in Their Future Career (the eNursEd Study): Protocol for a Longitudinal Study (Preprint)
Authors: Anderberg Peter , Björling Gunilla , Stjernberg Louise , Bohman Doris
Published: May 2019

BACKGROUND

The nursing profession has undergone several changes in the past decades, and new challenges are to come in the future; patients are now cared for in their home, hospitals are more specialized, and primary care will have a key role. Health informatics is essential in all core competencies in nursing. From an educational perspective, it is of great importance that students are prepared for the new demands and needs of the patients. From a societal point of view, the society, health care included, is facing several challenges related to technological developments and digitization. Preparation for the next decade of nursing education and practice must be done, without the advantage of certainty. A training for not-yet-existing technologies where educators should not be limited by present practice paradigms is desirable. This study presents the design, method, and protocol for a study that investigates undergraduate nursing students’ internet use, knowledge about electronic health (eHealth), and attitudes to technology and how experiences of eHealth are handled during the education in a multicenter study.

OBJECTIVE

The primary aim of this research project is to describe the design of a longitudinal study and a qualitative substudy consisting of the following aspects that explore students’ knowledge about and relation to technology and eHealth: (1) what pre-existing knowledge and interest of this area the nursing students have and (2) how (and if) is it present in their education, (3) how do the students perceive this knowledge in their future career role, and (4) to what extent is the education capable of managing this knowledge?

METHODS

The study consists of two parts: a longitudinal study and a qualitative substudy. Students from the BSc in Nursing program from the Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden, and from the Swedish Red Cross University College, Stockholm/Huddinge, Sweden, were included in this study.

RESULTS

The study is ongoing. Data analysis is currently underway, and the first results are expected to be published in 2019.

CONCLUSIONS

This study presents the design of a longitudinal study and a qualitative substudy. The eHealth in Nursing Education eNursEd study will answer several important questions about nursing students’ attitudes toward and use of information and communications technology in their private life, their education, and their emerging profession. Knowledge from this study will be used to compare different nursing programs and students’ knowledge about and relation to technology and eHealth. Results will also be communicated back to nursing educators to improve the teaching of eHealth, health informatics, and technology.
Utilizing Twitter Data Analysis and Deep Learning to Identify Drug Use (Preprint)
Authors: Tassone Joseph , Yan Peizhi , Simpson Mackenzie , Mendhe Chetan , Mago Vijay , Choudhury Salimur
Published: May 2019

BACKGROUND

The collection and examination of social media has become a useful mechanism for studying the mental activity and behavior tendencies of users.

OBJECTIVE

Through the analysis of a collected set of Twitter data, a model will be developed for predicting positively referenced, drug-related tweets. From this, trends and correlations can be determined.

METHODS

Twitter social media tweets and attribute data were collected and processed using topic pertaining keywords, such as drug slang and use-conditions (methods of drug consumption). Potential candidates were preprocessed resulting in a dataset 3,696,150 rows. The predictive classification power of multiple methods was compared including regression, decision trees, and CNN-based classifiers. For the latter, a deep learning approach was implemented to screen and analyze the semantic meaning of the tweets.

RESULTS

The logistic regression and decision tree models utilized 12,142 data points for training and 1041 data points for testing. The results calculated from the logistic regression models respectively displayed an accuracy of 54.56% and 57.44%, and an AUC of 0.58. While an improvement, the decision tree concluded with an accuracy of 63.40% and an AUC of 0.68. All these values implied a low predictive capability with little to no discrimination. Conversely, the CNN-based classifiers presented a heavy improvement, between the two models tested. The first was trained with 2,661 manually labeled samples, while the other included synthetically generated tweets culminating in 12,142 samples. The accuracy scores were 76.35% and 82.31%, with an AUC of 0.90 and 0.91. Using association rule mining in conjunction with the CNN-based classifier showed a high likelihood for keywords such as “smoke”, “cocaine”, and “marijuana” triggering a drug-positive classification.

CONCLUSIONS

Predictive analysis without a CNN is limited and possibly fruitless. Attribute-based models presented little predictive capability and were not suitable for analyzing this type of data. The semantic meaning of the tweets needed to be utilized, giving the CNN-based classifier an advantage over other solutions. Additionally, commonly mentioned drugs had a level of correspondence with frequently used illicit substances, proving the practical usefulness of this system. Lastly, the synthetically generated set provided increased scores, improving the predictive capability.

Perception of the Progressing Digitization and Transformation of the German Health Care System Among Experts and the Public: Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Hansen Arne , Herrmann Maximilian , Ehlers Jan P , Mondritzki Thomas , Hensel Kai Oliver , Truebel Hubert , Boehme Philip
Published: May 2019

BACKGROUND

Health care systems worldwide are struggling to keep rising costs at bay with only modest outcome improvement among many diseases. Digitization with technologies like Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning algorithms might address this. Although digital technologies have been successfully applied in clinical studies the effect on the overall health care system so far was limited. The regulatory ecosystem or data privacy might be responsible, but other reasons may also predominate.

OBJECTIVE

We analyzed how the digitization of the German health care market is currently perceived among different stakeholders and investigated reasons for its slow adaption.

METHODS

This was a mixed methods study split into a qualitative Part A using the conceptual approach of the Grounded Theory and a quantitative Part B using the Delphi method. For Part A we interviewed experts in the health care system and converted the results into 17 hypotheses. The Delphi method consisted of an online survey which was sent to the participants via email and was available for three months. For the assessment of the 17 hypotheses, the participants were given a six-point Likert scale. The participants were grouped into patients, physicians, and providers of services within the German health care market.

RESULTS

There was a strong alignment of opinions on the hypotheses between experts (N=21) and survey participants (N=733), with 70.5% overall agreement on 12/17 hypotheses. Physicians demonstrated the lowest level of agreement with the expert panel at 88% (15/17) disagreement, with the hypotheses “H8: Digitization in the health care system will free up jobs,” and “H6: Digitization in the health care system will empower the patients,” perceived to be in profound disagreement (P=.036 and P<.001, respectively).

CONCLUSIONS

Despite the firm agreement among participants and experts regarding the impact of digitization on the health care system, physicians demonstrated a more negative attitude. We assume that this might be a factor contributing to the slow adoption of digitization in practice. Physicians might be struggling with changing power structures, so future measures to transform the market should involve them to a larger degree.
Using Machine Learning to Predict Early Onset Acute Organ Failure in Critically Ill Intensive Care Unit Patients With Sickle Cell Disease: Retrospective Study (Preprint)
Authors: Mohammed Akram , Podila Pradeep S B , Davis Robert L , Ataga Kenneth I , Hankins Jane S , Kamaleswaran Rishikesan
Published: May 2019

BACKGROUND

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a genetic disorder of the red blood cells, resulting in multiple acute and chronic complications, including pain episodes, stroke, and kidney disease. Patients with SCD develop chronic organ dysfunction, which may progress to organ failure during disease exacerbations. Early detection of acute physiological deterioration leading to organ failure is not always attainable. Machine learning techniques that allow for prediction of organ failure may enable early identification and treatment and potentially reduce mortality.

OBJECTIVE

The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that machine learning physiomarkers can predict the development of organ dysfunction in a sample of adult patients with SCD admitted to intensive care units (ICUs).

METHODS

We applied diverse machine learning methods, statistical methods, and data visualization techniques to develop classification models to distinguish SCD from controls.

RESULTS

We studied 63 sequential SCD patients admitted to ICUs with 163 patient encounters (mean age 30.7 years, SD 9.8 years). A subset of these patient encounters, 22.7% (37/163), met the sequential organ failure assessment criteria. The other 126 SCD patient encounters served as controls. A set of signal processing features (such as fast Fourier transform, energy, and continuous wavelet transform) derived from heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate was identified to distinguish patients with SCD who developed acute physiological deterioration leading to organ failure from patients with SCD who did not meet the criteria. A multilayer perceptron model accurately predicted organ failure up to 6 hours before onset, with an average sensitivity and specificity of 96% and 98%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

This retrospective study demonstrated the viability of using machine learning to predict acute organ failure among hospitalized adults with SCD. The discovery of salient physiomarkers through machine learning techniques has the potential to further accelerate the development and implementation of innovative care delivery protocols and strategies for medically vulnerable patients.
Catching up With Aristotle
Authors: Llovet Abascal José María
Published: May 2019

Este libro es un intento de rehabilitación de la psicología general, i.e., de una teoría comprensiva y sistemática de la psique humana. El autor, Niels Engelsted, se propone rehabilitar la psicología general recurriendo, por un lado, a la filosofía de Aristóteles y, por el otro, a la historia de la psicología. ¿Por qué recurrir a la filosofía de Aristóteles para rehabilitar la psicología general? Según Engelsted, por más que muchos de los contenidos de la psicología aristotélica hayan sido falseados, se encuentra más adelantada que la psicología contemporánea desde la perspectiva de su “alcance y su intención”. La taxonomía que Aristóteles propone en sus tratados sobre la naturaleza es una “psicología general que traza la arquitectura del dominio psicológico desde las funciones animales más básicas hasta los rasgos propiamente humanos” (p. 10). La concepción aristotélica de la naturaleza, aunque no es evolutiva, supone una continuidad entre todos los seres vivos y exige una explicación sistemática de todas las funciones atribuidas al alma. Según Engelsted, en la aproximación aristotélica a la psicología está la solución a la crisis de la psicología: sólo hay que “ponerse al día con Aristóteles”, como reza el título del libro.
Diderot y La Mettrie, lectores de Séneca
Authors: Ratto Adrián
Published: May 2019

El objetivo de este trabajo es elucidar el sentido de las críticas que Diderot dirige a La Mettrie en su Essai sur les règnes de Claude et de Néron, et sur les mœurs et les écrits de Sénèque, que resultan llamativas en la medida en que los filósofos compartieron una visión materialista de la realidad y una profesión de ateísmo. Se demuestra, por otra parte, que los cuestionamientos presentan algunos puntos débiles, que generan dudas acerca de su alcance. A partir de uno de ellos, además, se saca a la luz un problema metodológico que provoca tensiones en el texto y pone en riesgo el objetivo que Diderot se había propuesto alcanzar en el escrito, a saber, defender la imagen de Séneca de sus detractores antiguos y modernos.

Authors: Mahmud Zamalia , Porter Anne
Published: May 2019

Studentsâ€™ understanding of probability concepts have been investigated from various different perspectives. This study was set out to investigate perceived understanding of probability concepts of forty-four students from the STAT131 Understanding Uncertainty and Variation course at the University of Wollongong, NSW. Rasch measurement which is based on a probabilistic model was used to identify concepts that students find easy, moderate and difficult to understand.Â  Data were captured from the e-learning Moodle platform where students provided their responses through an on-line quiz. As illustrated in the Rasch map, 96% of the students could understand about sample space, simple events, mutually exclusive events and tree diagram while 67% of the students found concepts of conditional and independent events rather easy to understand.Keywords: Perceived Understanding, Probability Concepts, Rasch Measurement ModelÂ DOI: dx.doi.org/10.22342/jme.61.1
The Estimation of the Building’s Vertical Shifts and Construction Groundworks on the Basis of Deformation Network Element Analysis
Authors: Mustafin M.G. , Nguyen Huu Viet
Published: May 2019

The growth of intensity of impact on the ground service related to the development of underground and terrestrial space, as well as to the volumes of building various objects, determines the increase of requirements to the control of deformation processes, and, hence, the development of geodetic observation methods. This is especially referred to megalopolises, where the surveyors have to work in more and more constrained conditions. The authors offer the way of estimating the vertical shift, using the independent measurements and involving the whole deformation network. It is about its model type and element examinations, which are links in the leveling run or triangles in planar case. The space position of these elements during the model-based examination is invariant in regard to the reference frame (benchmark). Therefore, the independent measurements can be performed (using vacant stations) during the observation cycles and the shifted and non-shifted elements of the model (deformation network) can be estimated in regard to the previous cycle. The identifying of the deformation control benchmarks is performed in regard to the non-shifted (stable) model elements. The methodic of fulfilling this technology, its advantages over the traditional ones, as well as the observation schemes, are shown.
Hukum Pembangunan dari Mochtar Kusuma-atmadja: Mengarahkan Pembangunan atau Mengabdi pada Pembangunan?
Authors: Aulia M. Zulfa
Published: May 2019

This article discusses Hukum Pembangunan (the Law of Development), a legal thought from Mochtar Kusuma-atmadja. The concept of hukum pembangunaan was beckgrounded with the concern about the role of law that showed malaise in a developing society. In order for the law to have a contribution in development, the law is not sufficiently functioned to maintain the orderliness of people’s lives, a conservative function, but also must be empowered to direct change and development in order. Thus the law can be a tool of social engineering. To carry out such functions, hukum pembangunan encourages the need to legal guidance which includes legal reform in the legal field that is neutral in terms of culture and religion, and legal education directed at improving technical and professional capabilities. This article shows that hukum pembangunan is a legal thought that is practically urgent in the face of increasingly complex social changes and an ongoing development agenda, and therefore will be relevant at all times. However, the unclearly criteria about what changes or developments need to be supported by law, while the character of the legal product is determined by the ongoing political constellation, causes the projection of hukum pembangunan to be easily trapped in the wills of development or power, rather than merely directing development.

Abstrak

Artikel ini membahas hukum pembangunan, sebuah pemikiran hukum dari Mochtar Kusuma-atmadja. Konsep hukum pembangunan bermula dari keprihatinan Sang Tokoh terhadap peranan hukum yang menunjukkan kelesuan dalam masyarakat yang sedang membangun. Agar punya kontribusi dalam pembangunan, maka hukum tidak cukup difungsikan sebatas menjaga ketertiban kehidupan masyarakat, suatu fungsi yang konservatif, melainkan juga harus diberdayakan untuk mengarahkan perubahan dan pembangunan supaya berlangsung secara teratur dan tertib. Hukum dengan begitu dapat menjadi alat atau sarana dalam pembangunan. Untuk menjalankan fungsi demikian, hukum pembangunan mendorong perlu dilakukannya pembinaan hukum nasional yang meliputi antara lain pembaruan hukum pada bidang yang netral dari segi kebudayaan dan keagamaan, serta pendidikan hukum yang diarahkan pada peningkatan kemampuan teknis dan profesional. Artikel ini menunjukkan, hukum pembangunan merupakan pemikiran hukum yang secara praksis penting dalam menghadapi berbagai perubahan sosial yang semakin kompleks dan agenda pembangunan yang terus berlangsung, dan karenanya akan relevan dalam setiap masa. Namun demikian, ketidakjelasan kriteria perubahan atau pembangunan seperti apa yang perlu didukung dengan bersaranakan hukum, sementara di sisi lain karakter produk hukum itu dipengaruhi oleh konstelasi politik yang tengah berlangsung, menyebabkan proyeksi hukum pembangunan bisa dan mudah terjebak pada kehendak-kehendak pembangunan atau kekuasaan, dan bukan sekadar mengarahkan pembangunan.

Authors: Rachmawati Rachmawati
Published: May 2019

Apprehension of death for People Living with HIV and AIDS (PLWA) is influenced by discipline in their adherence to their medication regimen and the social support they receive. This research aims to study the roles of discipline in adherence to their medication regimen and of social support, in regards to their apprehension of death, for PLWA. The data collection method employed a scale of discipline in adhering to a medication regimen, a scale of the social support received, and a scale of the apprehension of death. The subjects of this research were 89 people with positive HIV/AIDS status, living in South Sumatera. Data analysis was by multiple regression. The multiple regression analysis results indicated that both adherences to a medication regimen, and social support, play roles in regards to apprehension of death. (R2 = 0.113; F = 5.473; p < 0.05). This research affirms the importance of internal and external factors in reducing the level of apprehension of death for PLWA.
Utilizing Fisher’s-Z Transformation for Item Selection
Authors: Santoso Agung
Published: May 2019

The previous work has shown that item selection method based on the use of corrected item-total correlation larger than .3 as the criterion provided the least errors of including items with low corrected item-total correlation in the population and excluding items with high corrected item-total correlation in the population. However, such method did not address the fact that corrected item-total correlation fluctuated across samples. Therefore, in smaller samples, the method provided larger errors. The current article proposed a new method for item selection that took into account the fluctuations of corrected item-total correlation across samples. The method was a significant test of correlation coefficient with the null hypothesis stating that the corrected item-total correlation was larger than or equal to .3. Four simulations were conducted to evaluate the proposed method and its modification. The results showed that the method was performed very well in reducing errors of including items with low corrected item-total correlation even in smaller sample sizes. However, the errors of excluding items with high corrected item-total correlation were large, particularly in small sample size. The large exclusion error was due to the lack of power to reject the null hypothesis when sample size was small. In larger samples, the proposed method and its modification and the method used criterion of corrected item total correlation larger than .3 performed equally well.
Influence of the Fatigue Load Level and the Hole Diameter on the Laminate Structure’s Fatigue Performance
Authors: Zalewska Małgorzata
Published: May 2019

Damage tolerance of composite aircraft structure is one of the main areas of research, important when a new product is being developed. There are a number of variables, such as damage characteristics (dent depth, delamination area) and loading parameters (load type, amplitude of cyclic loading, load sequence) that need to be investigated experimentally [1]. These tests of composite materials are usually performed at an element level and are carried out in order to validate the analytical model, developed to predict the full-scale component’s behaviour. The paper presents the results of compression testing of the [36/55/9] carbon fibre/epoxy laminate, manufactured with the Automated Fibre Placement technology (AFP) and subjected to static and fatigue loads. The laminate compression loading mode was achieved through sandwich 4-point flexure. At the stage of fatigue testing, two parameters were investigated: the damage size, simulated by the hole diameter and the fatigue load level. Based on the test results, the laminate fatigue load limit equal to 75% of the OHC failure load was evaluated. By collating the static and fatigue tests results, the damage tolerance characteristic of the considered laminate was created.
Tibiocalcameal arthrodesis as a surgical option for Charcot ankle deformity
Authors: Obolenskiy V. N. , Protsko V. G.
Published: May 2019

Object. To assess the effectivity and safety of different tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis types in treatment of patients with Charcot ankle deformity depending on disease severity.

Materials and methods. We have analyzed the outcomes after treatment of 16 patients with diabetic neuropathic ankle arthropathy (Charcot ankle) at the stage of septic complications in bones of ankle and subtalar joints. The observation period was more than 1 [1–3] year. Ilizarov fixator for TCA was used in 8 cases; internal fixation with cannulated screws was applied in 8 cases.

Results. In the early periods (up to 1 month from the operation) no complications were revealed. Complications in later terms developed in 4 patients: three with internal fixation and one with external.

Conclusion. In our opinion, when choosing foot fixation tactics for heel-tibial arthrodesis, risk groups should be considered stage D according to Rogers classification and stage 3 according to Wagner classification, and after resection of bones in these patients external fixation is preferable. In the remaining stages, internal fixation is advisable because of the patient's higher quality of life and shortening of the rehabilitation period.
Strategic foresight of staffing needs of innovative development of socio-economic systems
Authors: Okunkova Elena
Published: May 2019

The research has been conducted in order to develop theoretical and methodological approaches to forecasting the future needs of the innovative economy in personnel to ensure the demand for formed human resources capacity. Development of basic techniques and instruments of calculation of need of innovative economy for highly qualified personnel on long-term and medium-term prospects has been based on such methodological approaches as system, activity and competence-based approaches, situational approach, methodology of the interactive, understanding and interpretive sociology, methodology of synergy, network thinking and social management, methodology of the modal analysis. A number of methodological problems of the existing systems of providing innovative economy in a personnel has been revealed, described and systematized: the forecast of balance of a labor resources does not consider changes of working conditions, modernization of production assets and new technologies; planning of target figures of enrollment of students for master programs is performed in a separation from real personnel requirements; lack of criteria system of detection of competence-based requirements of innovative economy; the imminent need of transition from scenario approach of forecasting of needs of economy for professional staff to approach “a threefold spiral”. The article proposes a methodological approach to forecasting the staffing needs of the innovative economy, which makes a provision for creating strategic long-term and mid-term forecasts and their annual adjustment at the operating level using the technologies of strategic foresight. The decomposition has been carried out by the types of forecasts for such characteristics as: level of regulation, purpose, key definitions, methods and approaches, factors, types of information, tools for providing staffing needs at each level, the main results. Such approach will allow to reduce the state costs for staff coaching and to prevent “combustion” of competences unclaimed by future labor market. The model of interaction of the labor market and the sphere of professional education, based on a strategic foresight of personnel requirements, has been designed to provide the independent, reasonable professional choice of youth today for satisfaction and social mobility of the population in future. The implementation of the proposed approach will allow to increase the quality of forecasts of personnel needs of the innovative economy and to create the basis for scientifically sound regulation of the development of general, professional and additional education at the federal and regional levels. This, in turn, will contribute to achieve maximum compliance between the personnel needs of the innovative economy and its formed resource potential.

Authors: Volokh Vladimir , Gerasimova Irina
Published: May 2019

The article analyzes the migration situation taking into account the social and economic development of the Russian Federation. The statistical data on labor migration, illegal migration, as well as indicators of demographic development and the labor market have been adduced. The forecast of changing the demographic situation has been considered. The main trends in the distribution of foreign workers taking into account the professional-qualification structure have been revealed. The authors stated the growing role of migration in the formation of labor potential and its placement in the country’s territory. The main legal instrument in the sphere of migration, according to authors, is the Concept of the State Migration Policy of the Russian Federation for the period 2019-2025, approved by the President of the Russian Federation, which defines the goals, principles, tasks, main directions and mechanisms for implementing the state migration policy of the Russian Federation. The implementation of the Concept activities will improve the migration legislation, using labor market tools related to determining the needs of the Russian economy for foreign workers, simplifying the entry, exit and stay of qualified foreign specialists, entrepreneurs and investors, and the development of educational and academic migration. Improving the mechanisms for foreign citizens to work on the basis of patents from Russian individuals, to facilitate the territorial mobility of Russian citizens are important aspects of the state migration policy. First of all, economic trends in the management of the state migration policy should be aimed at a balanced distribution of labor resources in the territory of the Russian Federation. Special attention has been paid to the international cooperation in the migration field. Attention has been paid to international treaties, aimed at the implementation of labor activity of migrants, the suppression of illegal migration, as well as international treaties on readmission. The prospects of effective management of migration processes in the Russian Federation on the basis of interaction of various levels of power have been determined.
O ensino das expressões idiomáticas em língua espanhola e suas equivalências em língua portuguesa
Authors: Lima Lucielena Mendonça , Ortiz Álvarez Maria Luisa
Published: May 2019

Quando aprendemos uma língua não podemos nos esquecer de que aprendemos também a maneira de ver o mundo e os costumes da sociedade que a fala, ou seja, a sua visão de mundo manifestada através das escolhas linguísticas. Daí que os mal-entendidos dos alunos de Espanhol como Língua Estrangeiras (E/LE) são, muitas vezes, resultado do desconhecimento tanto dos fatos linguísticos como dos culturais. As expressões idiomáticas, além de serem um ponto de partida de possíveis aulas, traduzem a cultura, pois sua origem normalmente é popular e ancestral. Neste artigo, discutimos sua importância para desenvolver a competência comunicativa dos aprendizes e também  apresentamos  estratégias com o objetivo de ensiná-las.

A educação de professores de línguas em CALL: histórico e perspectivas
Authors: Salomão Ana Cristina Biondo
Published: May 2019

Nos últimos anos, as novas tecnologias têm mudado o modo como nos relacionamos com a informação e nos comunicamos com as pessoas, o que trouxe impactos para o ensino e aprendizagem de línguas estrangeiras e, consequentemente, para a área de formação de professores de línguas. A sigla CALL (Computer Assisted Language Learning) tem sido usada para designar os processos de ensino e aprendizagem de línguas com a utilização de computadores, e o termo educação de professores em CALL para nomear a formação de professores para e com o uso das novas tecnologias, uma vez que vários autores indicam a interdependência entre ambos os processos. Pretendemos, neste artigo, apresentar um panorama da literatura da área da educação de professores de línguas em CALL na atualidade e discutir questões relacionadas ao uso de novas tecnologias no que tange à integração, à formação e aos novos papéis funcionais e institucionais dela advindos. Apresentaremos, ainda, duas propostas de formação de professores com o uso de tecnologias em fase de implementação e pesquisa no Brasil. Acreditamos que elas contam com elementos essenciais para o desenvolvimento de professores para e com o uso das novas tecnologias nos dias atuais.
Blog Reflection in Action: discurso de um grupo de estudantes de Letras na construção de processos reflexivos em ambiente virtual
Authors: Bresolin Ana Regina , Jesus Dánie Marcelo de
Published: May 2019

Este trabalho se insere no contexto de educação em ambiente virtual e tem o objetivo de investigar os indícios dos processos reflexivos e odesenvolvimento desses processos em um blog colaborativo educacional. Os participantes que compuseram, durante seis meses, a comunidade discursiva são alunos do curso de Letras Português/Inglês de quatro universidades brasileiras. Com base nas interações ocorridas no e por causa do blog, analisamos os processos reflexivos desses participantes. O trabalho contou com suporte teórico em Smyth (1992) e Zeichner (1994), no que tange à reflexão crítica; em Gomes (1995), Lanza (2007) e Rodrigues (2008), no que diz respeito ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem em ambiente virtual e em blogs. As questões que nortearam a pesquisa foram as seguintes: 1) quais os possíveis indícios de processos reflexivos podem ser observados nas interações entre os participantes? e 2) de que forma o grupo procurou construir processos reflexivos nesse ambiente virtual? O percurso teórico-metodológico utilizado foi interpretativista (ERICKSON,1986/1990). Os resultados evidenciaram reflexões ingênuas apresentadas pelos estudantes que não questionam os efeitos ideológicos dos próprios discursos.

The proposed article is based on such fundamental principles of historical research as scientifi objectivity and historicism. Source base: monographs, dissertations, investigation published during 2000–2017 in specialized scientifi c publications, proceedings of the conferences, scientifi c and documentary collections. The analysis of the sources made it possible to determine the peculiarities of the modern historiographical process in independent Ukraine, to reveal the main achievements and to outline the prospects for further studies of this problem. It is established that the researchers have determined stages, causes, size and consequences of the deportation policy of the Communist-Soviet regime concerning diff erent categories of the population of the Ukraine in the 1920s — in the early 1950s. Research of Ukrainian historians, who specialize in this issue, shows that this form of repressions of the Soviet state during the period have focused on suppressing all forms of resistance, transforming the national profi le in a certain area of Ukraine and modeling social processes. The scientifi c novelty is in the creation of an integral picture of the historiography of the deportation policy of the Communist-Soviet regime concerning diff erent categories of the population of the Ukraine in the 1920s — in the early 1950s.

Authors: Bon Oleksander
Published: May 2019

In the article it is researched the reaction of well-known Ukrainian humanists Nataliia Polonska-Vasylenko and the director Vasyl Vasylko on a Bolshevists’ invasion in Kyiv at the beginning of 1918. The memoirs of N. Polonska-Vasylenko and the diary of V. Vasylko are examined as an example of ego-documents of that period. It was identifi ed, that memoirs of the historian N. Polonska-Vasylenko had some actual facts, despite being further infl uenced by memoirs’ style. The V. Vasylko’s diary, that had been later edited, had a striking national tone. Later, in memoirs of Soviet regime, he was forced to assess those times in ideologically and politically diff erent ways. The diary of V. Vasylko showed a Ukrainian, who despite the perception of War as something tragic, joined Ukrainian military squads and later worked in authority bodies of UNR. The most important part of the diary — was the life of Ukrainian actors and directors in a period of war and political instability of 1914–1921, establishment and expansion of activities of modern Ukrainian theatre of Les’ Kurbas. This ego-document showed personal attitude of theatre environment towards events in Ukraine with a permanent fi nancial diffi culties and under circumstances of an ideological fi ght between social and European fl ows of the theatre art. N. Polonska-Vasylenko’s memoirs were in great importance, because there we could fi nd true examples of Bolshevists’ violence, robberies and searches of the fi rst days after the invasion in Kyiv. Some Ukrainian sergeants were executed in front of here. Ukrainian humanists were decisively against the bolshevists’ invasion and ‘red’ terror.

Today in the Balkans, the community of Ukrainians in Serbia is the largest by its number and importance. Since the 90s of the 20th century Ukrainian national societies are beginning to be restored and created. The research of their role in Serbia is an important aspect both for studying the history of the Ukrainian diaspora in Serbia and throughout the world.

The article highlights the cultural heritage and assets of the Ukrainian diaspora in Serbia from 1991 to 2012, identifi es the main directions of activity of cultural and educational organizations, societies, institutions created by Ukrainians in the territory of modern Serbia. Most of the issues raised in this study did not become the subject of study in the works of Ukrainian and foreign scholars. Our research is based on the memories of members of Ukrainian societies, such as the Society of Ukrainian Language, Literature and Culture “Prosvita” and the I. Seniuk Ukrainian Cultural and Arts Society. Also, the materials of the Embassies of Ukraine in Serbia, the World Congress of Ukrainians, the Information Service of the Prosvita Society and others are included in the article.

La meditación, si bien ha sido practicada desde hace más de 2,500 años, en la actualidad ha retomado una visible vigencia que ha llamado la atención de investigadores de distintas ramas: la psicología, la medicina y las neurociencias se han volcado para conocer la utilidad de estrategias de meditación en la mejora de la salud de las personas. El Mindfulness, una meditación definida como “una forma de atención no elaborativa, que no juzga, centrada en el presente, en la que cada pensamiento, sentimiento o sensación que aparece en el campo atencional es reconocida y aceptada tal como es” (Bishop et al., 2004), ha sido relacionada como una estrategia útil para la modificación de redes funcionales neuronales y la mejora de atención. La meditación Mindfulness a través de sus tres principales estrategias, atención focalizada, monitoreo abierto y bondad amorosa, ha sido retomada por la psicología aplicándola dentro de diferentes intervenciones de corte cognitivo. El presente documento describe algunas de las investigaciones más recientes en torno a la meditación Mindfulness y su vinculación con la mejora de la Atención, así como los acuerdos y discrepancias que existen en la actualidad acerca de sus posibles beneficios, lo que convierte a la investigación de la meditación y la actividad cerebral en un tema de vanguardia en el campo de la psicología y las neurociencias.

Por último se aborda la necesidad de crear un Protocolo para la comunidad transexual  en la etapa del cumplimiento de penas y medidas de seguridad.

En nuestra normativa Nacional, Internacional y en algunas entidades federativas existen diversos instrumentos jurídicos que no se aplican es un problema de estructura jurídica, de difusión de un Estado que no cumple principios democráticos, por lo que es necesario que se adecue la infraestructura, que deje el carácter binario de sexos que vivamos en un país incluyente.
El papel del profesor en el aula y las nuevas tendencias

Un maestro es un profesional que se desempeña en un aula y tiene una gran influencia en los estudiantes. Entonces, el papel de los docentes es muy crítico en un entorno de enseñanza de idiomas porque pueden tener un gran impacto en el proceso de aprendizaje de los estudiantes.

Según Yan y Zhang (2002), hay tres roles básicos principales que los docentes desempeñan; estos son los siguientes: profesor, maestro y facilitador. Hicieron distinciones entre los tres basados ​​en la teoría de los factores afectivos. El primero, profesores, son aquellos profesores que solo consideran sus habilidades profesionales pero descuidan la metodología de enseñanza, este es un ejemplo sobre la enseñanza de la filosofía antes de tomar la especialización en línea; el segundo se refiere a los maestros y estos son los que poseen metodología de enseñanza y habilidades profesionales, pero rara vez prestan atención al aprendizaje de los estudiantes. Finalmente, el último rol se refiere a los facilitadores, es decir, a los profesores que no solo se ocupan del rendimiento de los alumnos en el aula sino que también prestan atención a su proceso de aprendizaje durante el curso.
