Aspectos da teoria interpretativa da cultura de Clifford Geertz na História Cultural
Authors: Fonseca André Azevedo da
Published: December 2023

A Teoria Interpretativa da Cultura de Clifford Geertz ofereceu ao campo da Antropologia uma necessária sistematização diante as imprecisões históricas do conceito de cultura. O presente artigo tem o objetivo de discutir, em termos teóricos, metodológicos e epistemológicos, o impacto da descrição etnográfica nas demais áreas das Humanidades, sobretudo a História Cultural. Para isso, foi efetuada uma pesquisa bibliográfica de caráter dialético, situando os desafios da “descrição densa” no debate crítico sobre a construção da pesquisa acadêmica, tal como efetuada pela História. Foi concluído que, apesar da crítica ao conceito de cultura, a influência da Antropologia não implica, necessariamente, em uma transfusão metodológica, mas na identificação de novos problemas partir da análise das irregularidades, das incoerências e da instabilidade das estruturas significantes.
A verdade do eu é um outro

Published: December 2023

Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) é uma das viajantes do século XIX que desperta mais interesse da crítica e da historiografia. Seus diários produzem uma reconstrução de gênero, ao serem narrados muitas vezes na voz masculina, já que ela própria perambulava pelo deserto vestida de homem; uma relação intrincada e problemática com a alteridade, em suas relações com os nativos e com o poder colonial francês; uma relação complexa com a paisagem do deserto argelino, que lhe serve muitas vezes para elaborar uma personagem mística e martirizada. Este artigo pretende interpretar seus diários de viagem como a paisagem argelina, este sertão africano, e seu travestismo, servem para a elaboração de sua performatividade de gênero e de suas relações com a alteridade no mundo colonial e muçulmano.

Published: December 2023

In an era dominated by concerns of data breaches, and identity theft, security of corporate resources and assets has become paramount. Centralized identity management systems traditionally present vulnerabilities that can fundamentally threaten corporate security. This paper introduces a novel platform to identity management in organizations, leveraging the principles of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and the technological robustness of block- chain. By giving individuals unwavering control over their digital identities and reducing dependence on centralized intermediaries, SSI provides a transformative advancement in security and privacy. When combined with blockchain's immutable, decentralized, and transparent nature, this model ensures a verifiable, tamper-proof, and holistic iden- tity management system. Beyond individual identity man- agement, this paradigm provides corporations with a ro- bust mechanism to protect their assets, both digital and physical. We explore the architectural design and benefits of implementing the proposed system, BlockSSI-CRS, emphasizing its transformative potential for corporate resource protection. Through rigorous analysis, this paper highlights the feasibility of a blockchain-enhanced SSI platform in the context of corporate security needs.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to reveal the process of designing a virtual instrument for Sundanese drumming, starting from practical studies to its realization as a market-ready design. The influence of the development of digital music technology has led to various inventions in the form of virtual instruments. As part of the preservation and development of local culture-based music, it is necessary to create virtual musical instruments, including Sundanese drums. The problem that occurs today is, that virtual instrument media for Sundanese drums that facilitate learning Sundanese drums is still very rare. Method: The method is practice-led research or practice-based study by playing real drumming instruments recorded using sampling media in the form of virtual instruments in the KONTAKT Library. Result and Discussion: The design process is carried out in three stages, namely. pre-production, production, and post-production. The results showed that the pre-production analysis of tepak kendang sunda highlighted four drum sounds, namely keplak, kentrung, kemprang, and gedug. The production stage shows that the results of the tepak kendang analysis were recorded and produced a variety of different selected drum sounds. Conclusion: The sound samples were arranged in a keymap system on the KONTAKT keyboard, based on a velocity range system, so that each sound type expression can function as a virtual instrument in a DAW (digital audio workstation) application via midi. Pre-production alpha testing results with two phases state that the virtual instrument of the Sundanese drum can run well. The implication of the product design of the virtual instrument of Sundanese drums is adequate and ready to be used as a means of creativity in digital music.

Authors: C. Meniado Joel
Published: December 2023

This study aimed to explore the impact of ChatGPT on English language teaching, learning, and assessment. Specifically, it aimed to answer the following questions: 1) How can ChatGPT enhance English language learning, teaching, and assessment? and 2) What are the issues associated with ChatGPT in terms of language teaching, learning, and assessment? Utilizing Rapid Literature Review as a methodology guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, this study found that ChatGPT can support and enhance English language learning by providing meaning-focused inputs, offering scaffoldings during the production of meaning-focused outputs, giving feedback on the accuracy of learners’ language outputs, and facilitating fluency development through extensive language practice. Moreover, this study also found that ChatGPT can enhance English language teaching by assisting teachers in designing bespoke lesson plans, facilitating language learning inside and outside language classrooms, developing customized instructional materials, assessing L2 learning, and giving immediate, individualized feedback. However, despite the benefits it can provide to English language teachers and learners, its use in the classroom is faced with many issues such as inaccurate responses, academic dishonesty and plagiarism, skills deterioration, generic responses, inherent biases, privacy breaches, non-emotionality, technical limitations, educational inequity, and teacher job security threat. Detailed results and implications for policymaking and language teacher development are discussed.

Published: December 2023

Speaking assessment is believed to be difficult in its expansion and execution. Thus, it is a challenge for teachers in preparing students for speaking tests. This study’s purpose was to identify whether topic familiarity affects speaking performance among students who were preparing to sit for the high-stakes Malaysian University English Test speaking test. The study aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the speaking assessment measures and, subsequently, to examine the speaking tests’ item difficulty measures differences according to topic familiarity level. Data were collected from 40 non-native speakers of English among Malaysian Form Six pre-university students who were preparing for their MUET test. The researcher conducted two practice speaking tests, which used retired papers of the MUET CEFR-aligned speaking tests, to the 40 participants who were grouped into 10 speaking test groups. The practice speaking tests were video and audio-recorded. Topic familiarity was measured using self-report questionnaires. In the second phase, each of the seven appointed raters scored all 40 students’ responses in two speaking tests consisting of two speaking tasks assessed across four criteria: task fulfillment, language, communicative ability, and group discussion. Many-facet Rasch measurement results revealed significant differences translating to significant influence of topic familiarity on speaking performance. The present study’s results not only confirmed the significance of topic familiarity in the preparation for speaking assessments, but also highlighted the need for formal teaching on potential topic themes that are commonly encountered in such assessments, particularly those that are at the post-secondary level. These findings imply importance in designing speaking tests taking into account test-taker topic familiarity.

Authors: Alnaeem Lubna , Alwasidi Amal
Published: December 2023

A primary effort has been exerted in the literature to examine how influential affective factors are in language learning. The present study extends these attempts and aims at reviewing the levels of shyness and willingness to communicate among EFL learners and the relation between these two affective factors and their impact on communication skills inside the class from the students’ perspectives. It sheds light on the need to consider the effects of these personal traits on students’ learning. 360 Saudi EFL learners at a Saudi public university completed the shyness and willingness to communicate scales. For further analysis, the researchers interviewed 27 students to explore their perceptions of how these two aspects affect their communication skills inside the class. Quantitative data analysis showed that most participants were at the mid-levels of both scales. Furthermore, there was a negative correlation between the participants’ shyness and their overall willingness to communicate and its subcategories, with the highest correlation value between shyness and these subcategories: strangers, meetings, and public speaking. Qualitative analysis exhibited the participants’ perceptions, misconceptions, correlations of the two variables, and determinants of the participants’ levels of shyness and WTC. The findings of this study shed light on the importance of considering these factors for more successful learning/teaching experiences.
Production of Advice Speech Act by Non-Native Speakers of English: The Case of Kurdish EFL Learners
Authors: Hussein Hakeem Barzani Sami
Published: December 2023

Speech act studies are commonly used in Second Language Acquisition research to assess second language learners’ pragmatic skills. Contrary to other speech acts, the speech act of offering advice has not been sufficiently studied and has not been a topic of cross-cultural or cross-linguistic research either, particularly among Kurdish EFL learners. The study aimed to conduct a comparative analysis of the advice speech act as expressed by Kurdish EFL learners and native English speakers. Thus, the study looked at the proficiency of Kurdish EFL users in selecting appropriate pragmatic expressions during the act of providing advice and discernible differences between male and female learners regarding the degree of (in)directness while advice is offered. Hence, the study included 82 undergraduate students from various universities in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region, particularly in Erbil. This group consisted of 42 females and 40 males, all majoring in English Language Teaching. Additionally, 30 native English speakers also took part in the research. Data collection was conducted through a 12-item discourse completion test, and the collected data were subsequently subjected to analysis using SPSS. The results unveiled a significant difference between Kurdish EFL learners and native speakers. It figured out that Kurdish EFL learners are not quite aware of the social power and social distance of interlocutors while giving advice. Additionally, it was indicated that female learners are more indirect in offering advice than their male counterparts. Moreover, the findings also unearthed a visible indication of first language pragmatic transfer, though it was not a variable of the study.

Authors: Qi Yanjing , Binti Othman Rohani
Published: December 2023

The purpose of this study is to explore Chinese tertiary EFL teachers’ beliefs and practices as well as the relationships between them in the application of Learning Management Systems (LMS in short). By reviewing relevant literature, previous studies either carried out research on teachers’ beliefs and practices in the training of basic English learning skills or compared them between novice and experienced teachers. This study fills the gap of research on teachers’ beliefs and practices from the perspective of technology integration, specifically LMS application. By using the Q methodology, 38 EFL teachers teaching the same EFL course to undergraduate students at F University in mainland China were selected as research participants. After collecting research data through open-ended questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, four different types of teachers’ LMS beliefs and three different levels of teachers’ LMS practices were identified by employing Q Methodology software-PQMethod and a web application Ken-Q analysis. Through comparing each participant’s corresponding beliefs and practices, both consistent and inconsistent relationships are found. The research findings not only prove the definite connection between teachers’ LMS beliefs and practices but also reveal the discrepancies between what teachers believe and do while using LMS. In general, The research can not only offer a new methodological solution for further research on cognitive factors like teachers’ beliefs but also provide pedagogical implications to EFL teachers to promote their career development.

Published: December 2023

En este trabajo se analizan los grabados rupestres del sitio Curapil, situado en el piedemonte septentrional de la meseta de Somuncurá. El objetivo es caracterizar los motivos y su contexto a fin de compararlos con los grabados ubicados sobre la meseta para evaluar circuitos de movilidad y la redundancia ocupacional de sectores con distinta disponibilidad de recursos críticos. Los resultados señalan que los vínculos de Curapil con los sitios de la porción oriental de la meseta de Somuncurá no son marcados. Futuros estudios podrán determinar su relación con sitios recientemente localizados al oeste del macizo. Aunque todos los contextos analizados presentan signos de reocupación, estas evidencias son más fuertes en la meseta de Somuncurá, donde las fuentes de agua se localizan más puntualmente que en el piedemonte. A pesar de estas diferencias de intensidad, Curapil puede ser considerado como un lugar persistente hasta momentos actuales.

Published: December 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar, a partir da ótica do professor, as dificuldades enfrentadas para o fazer docente nas aulas de educação física, especificamente em duas escolas públicas de ensino básico do município de Pau dos Ferros-RN. Como sabemos, a prática pedagógica não é um mar de águas calmas. O êxito desse exercício depende de vários aspectos que se entrelaçam e agem, em cada contexto, influenciando-o. Dada a sua importância e perspectiva adotada, os escritos aqui apresentados configuram-se como uma pesquisa qualitativa, tendo caráter descritivo. Nesta, o instrumento de pesquisa utilizado para coleta dos dados foi a entrevista guiada, realizada a distância, com duas professoras que lecionam os conteúdos relativos à disciplina de Educação Física. Amparados por Gatti (2013), Prandina e Santos (2016), Paludo (2020), Vicente, Santos, Leão e Carlos (2021) e demais fontes usadas no estudo, o mergulho no turbulento mar do ensino permitiu descobrir que, mesmo diante de realidades distintas, presente em uma escola situada na zona rural e outra na zona urbana, faltam-lhes espaços adequados para vivências práticas, assim como há a carência de materiais como: bolas, redes, entre outros, sem falar na fragilidade do apoio pedagógico raramente prestado. Há de se destacar ainda que, com o ensino remoto, essa realidade parece ter sido potencializada.

El presente trabajo investiga en forma paralela los puntos de conexión entre la antropología cristiana del fundador del Movimiento de la Palabra de Dios, padre Ricardo Mártensen y una serie de recientes descubrimientos de las neurociencias, especial pero no exclusivamente referidos a Antonio Damasio. Como resultado de esta investigación se advierte que no existe contradicción entre ellos, siendo posible, de esta forma, hacer una interpretación cristiana de estos últimos o enriqueciendo la visión antropológica primera. Este resultado resulta interesante para el acompañamiento pastoral del cristiano y más en general para toda investigación en ciencias sociales vinculada al comportamiento humano.
Letras de Pironio III
Authors: Ponce Leonardo
Published: December 2023

El presente artículo continúa exponiendo una serie de escritos inéditos del Venerable Eduardo Francisco Pironio, que él escribiera durante el año 1938, siendo seminarista y estudiando en el Seminario Mayor San José de la Arquidiócesis de La Plata. En ellos se pueden observar algunas temáticas que van a ser frecuentes luego en su predicación, como la amistad y la esperanza. Los artículos fueron originalmente editados en la revista “Sapientia”, publicación histórica del seminario. El valor de estos textos radica en que permiten conocer un poco más a Pironio en su juventud, quien hoy está en proceso de ser beatificado.

Standing left recurrent laryngeal neurectomy for prospective evaluation of laryngeal hemiplegia evaluated by a high-speed treadmill test
Authors: Lean Natasha E. , Franklin Samantha H. , Ahern Benjamin J.
Published: December 2023

OBJECTIVE

To describe left recurrent laryngeal neurectomy (LRLn) performed under standing sedation and evaluate the effect of LRLn on upper respiratory tract function using a high-speed treadmill test (HST). We hypothesized that (1) unilateral LRLn could be performed in standing horses, resulting in ipsilateral arytenoid cartilage collapse (ACC); and (2) HST after LRLn would be associated with alterations in upper respiratory function consistent with dynamic ACC.

ANIMALS

6 Thoroughbred horses.

METHODS

The horses were trained and underwent a baseline HST up to 14 m/s at 5% incline until fatigue. Evaluation included; airflow, pharyngeal and tracheal pressures, and dynamic upper respiratory tract endoscopy. Trans-laryngeal impedance (TLI) and left-to-right quotient angle ratio (LRQ) were calculated after testing. The following day, standing LRLn was performed in the mid-cervical region. A HST was repeated within 4 days after surgery.

RESULTS

Standing LRLn was performed without complication resulting in Havemayer grade 4 ACC at rest (complete paralysis) and Rakestraw grade C or D ACC (collapse up to or beyond rima glottis midline) during exercise. Increasing treadmill speed from 11 to 14 m/s increased TLI (P < .001) and reduced LRQ (P < .001). Neurectomy resulted in an increase in TLI (P = .021) and a reduction in LRQ (P < .001).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Standing LRLn induces laryngeal hemiplegia that can be evaluated using a HST closely after neurectomy. Standing LRLn may be useful for future prospective evaluations of surgical interventions for laryngeal hemiplegia.
Computing closeness for some graphs
Authors: Tunçel Gölpek Hande , Aytaç Aysun
Published: December 2023

The analysis of networks involves several crucial parameters. In this paper, we consider the closeness parameter, which is based on the total distance between every pair of vertices. Initially, we delve into a discussion about the applicability of the closeness parameter to Mycielski graphs. Our findings are categorized based on the underlying graph’s diameter. The formula for calculating the closeness of a Mycielski graph is derived for graphs with a diameter of less than or equal to 4. Furthermore, we establish a sharp lower bound for the closeness of a Mycielski graph when the diameter of the underlying graph is greater than 4. To achieve this, the closeness of the Mycielski transformation of a path graph plays an important role. Additionally, leveraging the obtained results, we examine the closeness of a special planar construction composed of path and cycle graphs, as well as its Mycielski transformation.

Colposcopy imaging is pivotal in cervical cancer diagnosis, a major health concern for women. The computational challenge lies in accurate lesion recognition. A significant hindrance for many existing machine learning solutions is the scarcity of comprehensive training datasets.

To reduce this gap, we present AnnoCerv: a comprehensive dataset tailored for feature-driven and image-based colposcopy analysis. Distinctively, AnnoCerv include detailed segmentations, expert-backed colposcopic annotations and Swede scores, and a wide image variety including acetic acid, iodine, and green-filtered captures. This rich dataset supports the training of models for classifying and segmenting low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, detecting high-grade lesions, aiding colposcopy-guided biopsies, and predicting Swede scores – a crucial metric for medical assessments and treatment strategies.

To further assist researchers, our release includes code that demonstrates data handling and processing and exemplifies a simple feature extraction and classification technique.
Precognition of mental health and neurogenerative disorders using AI-parsed text and sentiment analysis
Authors: Biró Attila , Cuesta-Vargas Antonio Ignacio , Szilágyi László
Published: December 2023

The paper examines the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in parsing text and conducting sentiment analysis to identify early markers of mental health and neurodegenerative disorders. Through the analysis of textual data, we investigate whether AI can provide a noninvasive, continuous, and objective complement to traditional diagnostic practices.

Background: the early detection of mental health (such as depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia) and neurodegenerative disorders (like Parkinson’s disease) remains a critical challenge in clinical practice. Traditional diagnostic methods rely on clinical evaluations that may be subjective and episodic. Recent advancements in AI and natural language processing (NLP) have opened new avenues for precognitive health assessments, suggesting that variations in language and expressed sentiments in written text can serve as potential biomarkers for these conditions.

Materials and Methods: the research used a dataset comprising various forms of textual data, including anonymized social media interactions, transcripts from patient interviews, and electronic health records. NLP algorithms were deployed to parse the text, and machine learning models were trained to identify language patterns and sentiment changes. The study also incorporated a sentiment analysis to gauge emotional expression, a key component of mental health diagnostics.

Results: the AI models were able to identify language use patterns and sentiment shifts that correlated with clinically validated instances of mental health symptoms and neurodegenerative conditions. Notably, the models detected an increased use of negative a ect words, a higher frequency of first-person singular pronouns, and a decrease in future tense in individuals with depression. For neurode-generative conditions, there was a notable decline in language complexity and semantic coherence over time.

Conclusions: the implemented pipeline of AI-parsed text and sentiment analysis appears to be a promising tool for the early detection and ongoing monitoring of mental health and neurodegenerative disorders. However, these methods are supplementary and cannot replace the nuanced clinical evaluation process. Future research must refine the AI algorithms to account for linguistic diversity and context, while also addressing ethical considerations regarding data use and privacy. The integration of AI tools in clinical settings necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, ensuring that technological advancements align with patient-centered care and ethical standards.
