Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Previous studies have explored how sensor technologies can assist in in the detection, recognition, and prevention of subjective loneliness. These studies have shown a correlation between physiological and behavioral sensor data and the experience of loneliness. However, little research has been conducted on the design requirements from the perspective of older people and stakeholders in technology development. The use of these technologies and infrastructural questions have been insufficiently addressed. Systems generally consist of sensors or software installed in smartphones or homes. However, no studies have attempted to use smart textiles, which are fabrics with integrated electronics.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to understand the design requirements for a smart textile loneliness monitoring system from the perspectives of older people and stakeholders.

METHODS

We conducted co-design workshops with 5 users and 6 stakeholders to determine the design requirements for smart textile loneliness monitoring systems. We derived a preliminary product concept of the smart wearable and furniture system. Digital and physical models and a use case were evaluated in a focus group study with older people and stakeholders (n=7).

RESULTS

The results provided insights for designing systems that use smart textiles to monitor loneliness in older people and widen their use. The findings informed the general system, wearables and furniture, materials, sensor positioning, washing, sensor synchronization devices, charging, intervention, and installation and maintenance requirements. This study provided the first insight from a human-centered perspective into smart textile loneliness monitoring systems for older people.

CONCLUSIONS

We recommend more research on the intervention that links to the monitored loneliness in a way that addresses different needs to ensure its usefulness and value to people. Future systems must also reflect on questions of identification of system users and the available infrastructure and life circumstances of people. We further found requirements that included user cooperation, compatibility with other worn medical devices, and long-term durability.
Technology Exposure and Child Health: Wellness Impact and Social Effects (TECHWISE): A Prospective, Observational Real-World Study (Preprint)
Authors: Kollins Scott , Flannery Jessica , Goetz Karen
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Background. There has been controversy over the degree to which technology use in general, and social media exposure specifically, may be associated with adverse youth mental health outcomes. To date, studies have generally been small, exploratory; and have relied on youth self-report to characterize technology/social media use patterns. The goal of this project is to explore the associations between objectively-collected data gathered through a commercially-available app and youth mental health outcomes.

OBJECTIVE

The broad goal of this study is to characterize the association between objectively measured technology/social media use and a range of mental health related outcomes.

METHODS

Up to 1000 male, female, and non-binary youth ages 8-17 (inclusive) and their primary caregivers will be enrolled in the study. Youth participants must have their own, dedicated iOS or Android based smart phone or tablet, and they and their parents must be willing and able to download and install the data collection app onto their devices. The study is open to all US based participants who meet the previous 2 criteria. Following eConsent, participants and their caregivers will complete a range of baseline measures electronically, including assessments of psychiatric and social functioning, as well as measures of loneliness, digital stress, and disordered eating. Caregivers will be asked to provide information on health and mental health history for the participants. Youth and caregivers will then complete a similar battery of assessments 1, 2, and 3 months after baseline. Youth participants will also complete daily questions about their mood, stress, physical activity, and sleep. Youth and their caregivers will be compensated for completing measures at each time point. The data collection app gathers a wide range of daily data from the participant's device, including temporal patterns of use, number of and frequency of various app usage, social interactions within apps, and keystroke data. A wide range of analytic methods will be used to address important questions pertinent to the topic of how technology/social media use is related to mental health and wellness outcomes.

RESULTS

Enrollment was initiated on November 13, 2024 and as of December 12, a total of 9 participants had been enrolled. Data analysis is expected to begin in Spring of 2025, with initial results available in Summer/Fall 2025.

CONCLUSIONS

This study will be among the largest to date to collect both objective device usage data and validated clinically relevant outcome measures. The resulting dataset will be of high value to the field and a range of researchers interested in accessing.

CLINICALTRIAL

This study has been registered on clinicaltrials.gov (NCT06664944). It has also been reviewed and approved by WCG IRB (Study ID 1380098)
Research on Interactive Design of Intangible Heritage APP Based on CA/QFD/TRIZ Integration Method
Authors: Zhang Yibo , Ren Xiaoyu , Qiao Rongrong
Published: December 2024

This study addresses challenges in intangible cultural heritage (ICH) development under cultural digitalization strategies by optimizing ICH app design using an integrated CA/QFD/TRIZ approach. User needs were identified through CA analysis of app feedback, utilizing ROST CM6 software for word frequency and social semantic network analysis to categorize primary and secondary demand categories. These needs were translated into product features using QFD theory, which also identified key contradictions. TRIZ theory was then applied to resolve these contradictions and generate solutions. Based on this process, specific ICH app design strategies were formulated and validated through a case study, resulting in a comprehensive design solution. The integrated CA/QFD/TRIZ paradigm quantitatively clarified user needs, optimized design directions, and provides a valuable framework for future app design research, empowering the digital transformation of traditional ICH.

Diego de Rosales y la interpretación de la real cédula de 1608 que estableció la esclavitud en Chile
Authors: Centenera-Sánchez-Seco Fernando
Published: December 2024

Se estudia el parecer crítico del jesuita Diego de Rosales, en lo que respecta a la esclavitud de las personas indígenas que se levantaron en Chile contra el ejército español en 1655. Concretamente, se centra la atención en la interpretación normativa que presenta el autor sobre la real cédula de 1608, en cuyo texto se impuso la esclavitud para los “indios de guerra”, tras la rebelión indígena de finales del siglo XVI. El jesuita trata de demostrar que la norma en cuestión no puede aplicarse al contexto en el que se centra, pretendiendo con ello la libertad de la población indígena. En esta defensa expone varios planteamientos con los que, en buena medida, trata de establecer diferencias entre los dos levantamientos. Estos y otros desarrollos son objeto de análisis en este estudio, donde se abordan con la intención de considerar sus fortalezas y debilidades, así como para valorar su alcance que, aun a pesar de las pretensiones del jesuita, resulta limitado en lo que respecta al discurso antiesclavista.
Influence of Varying Particle Size on Mechanical & Tribological Properties of A356-Al2O3 Metal Matrix Composites
Authors: G N Yogavardhan Swamy
Published: December 2024

MMCs represent a new generation of engineering materials in which a strong ceramic reinforcement is incorporated
into a metal matrix to improve its properties including specific strength, specific stiffness, wear, corrosion resistance and elastic
modulus. Aluminium oxide and silicon carbide powders in the form of fibers and particulates are commonly used as
reinforcements in MMCs and the addition of these reinforcements to aluminum alloys has been the subject of a considerable
amount of research work. Aluminum oxide and silicon carbide reinforced aluminum alloy matrix composites are applied in the
automotive and aircraft where the tribological properties of these materials are considered important. Therefore, the
development of aluminum matrix composites is receiving considerable emphasis in meeting the requirements of various
industries. An economical way of producing metal matrix composite is the incorporation of the particles into the liquid metal and
casting which leads to improvement in strength over the unreinforced alloy. Addition of particulate reinforcement improves
stiffness, strength and tribological properties. Particle size also influences the uniformity of distribution of reinforcement in the
matrix. Smaller the particle size, higher will be the agglomerate content in the composite structure. Particle also directly
influences the porosity content in the composite structure.The purpose of research in Tribology is understandably the
minimization of losses resulting from friction and wear at all levels of technology where the rubbing of surfaces is involved. The
present work is a small attempt made to study the influence of reinforcement particulate size on the mechanical and tribological
characteristics of Al-Al2O3p composites.
Performance Evaluation of Composite Materials for Wind Turbine Blade Design
Authors: K S Varun
Published: December 2024

Due to the growing consciousness to utilize renewable sources of energy, the improvement of wind turbine
technologies which is especially focused on the blade design of the turbines. The advanced composite forms of glass fiber
reinforced polymer (GFRP), carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and hybrid composites have gained tremendous
importance in wind turbine blades due to their increased mechanical strength, longer life, light weight characteristics. This work
assesses the efficiency of different composite materials in relation to tensile strength, fatigue life, and vulnerability to
environmental factors, including cost factors. Stress distribution and deformation patterns are modelled through finite element
analysis (FEA) to compare them to those obtained experimentally. Some of the current concerns such as recyclability and
disposal are presented with the prospects such as bio-composites and thermoplastic recyclates. Some suggestions are given for
manufacturing of hybrid composites and some of the advanced manufacturing technologies to enhance the blade capabilities
and its environmental impact resistant. These findings enrich the existing understandings of material selection, enhance new
wind energy solutions.
No-Regret Learning and Equilibrium Computation in Quantum Games
Authors: Lin Wayne , Piliouras Georgios , Sim Ryann , Varvitsiotis Antonios
Published: December 2024

As quantum processors advance, the emergence of large-scale decentralized systems involving interacting quantum-enabled agents is on the horizon. Recent research efforts have explored quantum versions of Nash and correlated equilibria as solution concepts of strategic quantum interactions, but these approaches did not directly connect to decentralized adaptive setups where agents possess limited information. This paper delves into the dynamics of quantum-enabled agents within decentralized systems that employ no-regret algorithms to update their behaviors over time. Specifically, we investigate two-player quantum zero-sum games and polymatrix quantum zero-sum games, showing that no-regret algorithms converge to separable quantum Nash equilibria in time-average. In the case of general multi-player quantum games, our work leads to a novel solution concept, that of the separable quantum coarse correlated equilibria (QCCE), as the convergent outcome of the time-averaged behavior no-regret algorithms, offering a natural solution concept for decentralized quantum systems. Finally, we show that computing QCCEs can be formulated as a semidefinite program and establish the existence of entangled (i.e., non-separable) QCCEs, which are unlearnable via the current paradigm of no-regret learning.

Objective: The Project ECHO model is used in 180 countries to address chronic disease care through a provider empowerment, tele-education approach. Few studies have rigorously evaluated the impact of the program on patient outcomes using randomized designs.

Research Design and Methods: Implementation of an ECHO Diabetes program was evaluated using a stepped-wedge design with recruitment of 20 Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) across California and Florida with randomized, phased-in intervention entry. Participating FQHCs (“spokes”) provided aggregate data including Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) and diabetes technology use. Patients were recruited from spokes and data collection involved historical and prospective HbA1c measures, HEDIS markers, and pre/post surveys. Linear mixed models were used to generate patient-level monthly HbA1c estimates, evaluating change over time; Poisson regression was used to model clinic-level technology use.

Results: The spoke-level cohort included 32,796 people with T1D (3.4%) and T2D (96.6%) with 72.7% publicly-insured or uninsured. The patient-level cohort included 582 adults with diabetes (33.0% T1D, 67.0% T2D), mean age 51.1 years, 80.7% publicly-insured or uninsured, 43.7% non-Hispanic White (NHW), 31.6% Hispanic, 7.9% non-Hispanic Black (NHB) 16.8% other. At the spoke-level, there were statistically significant reductions pre/post intervention in the proportion of people with HbA1c >9% (31.7% to 26.7%, p=0.033). At the patient-level, there were statistically significant increases in CGM (25.1% to 36.8%, p<0.0001) and pump use (15.3% to 18.3%, p<0.001) pre/post intervention.

Conclusions: The ECHO model demonstrates promise for reducing health disparities in diabetes and contributes to our understanding of program benefits beyond the provider-level.
Imaging-based evaluation of cervical muscle mass and 6-month survival in males with hypopharyngeal carcinoma
Authors: Laurén Jouni , Keski-Säntti Harri , Mäkitie Antti , Arponen Otso
Published: December 2024

Background: A significant proportion of newly diagnosed patients with hypopharyngeal carcinoma (HC) are at risk of early death and may not benefit from cancer treatments. Our objective was to assess whether an image-based evaluation of muscle mass could identify patients at risk of impaired survival.
Materials and methods: This retrospective study consisted of male patients diagnosed with HC treated at Helsinki University Hospital between 2005 and 2014 (N = 66). Cross-sectional areas of skeletal muscles at the level of the third cervical vertebra (C3) and at the level of the thoracic aortic apex were analyzed using magnetic resonance images and/or computed tomography images. Survival-based cutoff values for low muscle index values were determined using the receiver operating characteristics curves. Kaplan-Meier analyses and Cox proportional hazard models were used to evaluate the associations between the muscle indexes and survival rates.
Results: Several muscle indexes were associated with 6-month and 5-year survival. The 6-month survival rate of males with a low sternocleidomastoid muscle index (cutoff 1.73 cm2/m2) was 66%, as opposed to the 97% survival rate for those with an above-the-cutoff muscle index (hazard ratio 13.0 [95% CI 1.5, 116.6]). In a multivariate Cox model adjusted for age, sex, tumor stage, and grade, lower sternocleidomastoid muscle index was significantly associated with decreased 6-month survival.
Interpretation: C3-level muscle indexes, particularly the sternocleidomastoid muscle index, are a promising marker in the identification of patients at risk of early mortality and could add confidence in decision-making when choosing between active and palliative care.
Clinico-pathological characteristics and treatment outcome in non-small cell lung cancer in Greenland 2015–2020 – a comparison with the cohort from 2004 to 2010
Authors: Nørøxe Dorte S. , Frandsen Simone , Clausen Malene M. , Hansen Thomas I. , Geisler Uka W. , Petersen Alice J. , Langer Seppo
Published: December 2024

Background and purpose: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in Greenland. Since 2004, medical treatment of lung cancer has been available in Greenland. However, both diagnostic work-up and treatment logistics are hampered by the lack of medical services in smaller settlements, the infrastructure, and extreme arctic weather conditions. Clinico-pathological data and assessment of treatment outcome in lung cancer in Greenland have not been carried out since 2015. This study aims to provide an analysis of Greenlandic patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from 2015 to 2020, compared to the cohort from the 2015 study. We focus on diagnostics, patient and treatment characteristics, and survival rates. Additionally, we include new data on treatment-related factors and diagnostic delays.
Patients/material: Clinical-, pathological-, genomic data, tuberculosis status and survival were retrieved from the medical journal.
Results: A total of 163 patients were identified. Survival had improved in stage I, III, and IV, and early-stage disease was more often diagnosed as compared to the 2015 cohort. Molecular alterations and PD-L1 expressing tumors were comparable between Greenlandic and Danish patients. Diagnostic delay was a major concern.
Interpretation: While NSCLC survival in Greenland has improved over the past decade, significant challenges remain. The trend towards diagnosing more stage IA–IIIA patients and the recent improvements in diagnostic and therapeutic options in Greenland are expected to translate into a better prognosis in the coming years. Addressing diagnostic delays and enhancing treatment options are crucial steps toward improving outcomes for NSCLC patients in Greenland.

The Dnipro Left Bank Forest-Steppe Region in the Hunnic Period
Authors: Reida Roman M. , Heiko Anatoliy V. , Sergiy Sapiehin V.
Published: December 2024

The article deals with the ethno-cultural situation in the Dnipro Left Bank Forest-Steppe region during the Hunnic period based on a consideration of material from the sites discovered in this region, primarily burial sites, that contain finds from the last quarter of the 4th – the first half of the 5th century B.C.The sites were divided into three groups: 1) burials of nomads with some elements of Cherniakhiv culture; 2) “syncretic” burials of the Cherniakhiv culture with nomadic elements; 3) sites of Cherniakhiv culture. The existence of these sites is caused by contacts between the nomadic world and the Cherniakhiv population, who may be classified as farmers. These active contacts demonstrate different degrees of incorporation of nomads into the Cherniakhiv environment.The description of the burials that belong to these groups is presented in the article. Among them, burial 124 of the Shyshaky cemetery can be mentioned here. Due to the size of the grave and individual finds, this burial complex stands out among the sites of the Cherniakhiv culture and should be classified as belonging to the burials of princes.Based on archaeological finds, it can be stated that the arrival of the Huns did not cause catastrophic consequences for the population of the Dnipro Left Bank Forest-Steppe region. At that time, it was not a decline, but a development of the culture of the nomads (the Alans) and also the settled population of the Cherniakhiv culture.
Lviv Classical Archaeology Before World War II
Authors: Bulyk Natalia , Berest Roman , Tomeniuk Olena
Published: December 2024

At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, Europe experienced a period of scientific advances in various fields. This is associated with the results of numerous surveys, discoveries, accidental finds, and scientific research, contributing to the appearance of scientific societies and new disciplines. In the field of history, the incredibly rich but little-known ancient architectural, archaeological, and written heritage attracted the attention of many researchers. This resulted in the collection of ancient antiquities, gradually forming a whole direction of scientific research – classical archaeology. The Department of Classical Archaeology and Prehistory of Lviv University (1905) became the main centre of the development of classical archaeology in Eastern Galicia (Eastern Halychyna, now – western Ukraine). The first classical archaeologist from Lviv was Professor Karol Hadaczek. After his tragic death and the beginning of World War I, the Department of Classical Archaeology and Prehistory was divided into two independent departments. Classical archaeology was headed by Edmund Bulanda, with whom the entire development of interwar Lviv classical archaeology is inseparably linked. E. Bulanda’s greatest legacy was his students (K. Michałowski, K. Majewski, I. Starchuk, E. Kulczycki), who, after the war, led entire areas of scientific research in Polish universities and made a significant contribution to the study and increasing public awareness of the classical heritage.

Published: December 2024

Artykuł bada skomplikowany proces muzealizacji kontestowanego dziedzictwa w mieście Petricz w Bułgarii ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem postaci króla Samuela i bitwy pod Klidion. Zwiększone znaczenie historyczne przypisywane temu średniowiecznemu królowi i bitwie jest ściśle związane ze złożoną dynamiką kulturową i polityczną po obu stronach granicy bułgarsko-północnomacedońskiej. Nakreślenie podobieństw z sąsiednim regionem Strumicą w Macedonii Północnej umożliwia dogłębną analizę wielu aspektów muzealizacji i odkrywa wzajemne oddziaływanie między narracjami historycznymi, reprezentacją kulturową oraz polityką lokalną i krajową. Podobieństwa te pomagają w kontekstualizacji procesu muzealizacji w Petricz i ujawniają kontrowersyjną naturę konstruowania, ochrony i prezentacji dziedzictwa historycznego. Odnoszone do kwestii budowania tożsamości i negocjowania narracji historycznych są pomocne w analizie motywacji stojących za procesem muzealizacji. Artykuł stanowi wkład w dyskurs naukowy na temat zachowania średniowiecznego dziedzictwa na spornych terytoriach i oferuje wgląd w zawiłe relacje między historią, tożsamością i reprezentacją kulturową.
Terezin. Miasto - muzeum i charakterystyczne miejsce pamięci
Authors: Soukupová Blanka
Published: December 2024

Niniejsze studium analizuje historię Miejsca Pamięci w Terezinie od jego założenia w 1947 r. do okresu tuż po aksamitnej rewolucji w Czechosłowacji w 1989 roku. Miejsce pamięci powstało na terenie na terenie największego obozu koncentracyjnego Protektoratu Czech i Moraw z okresu drugiej wojny światowej i jest drugim najważniejszym żydowskim miejscem pamięci na ziemiach czeskich po Muzeum Żydowskim w Pradze (termin ten jest używany w znaczeniu nadanym mu przez Pierre'a Norę). Jednocześnie tekst koncentruje się na budowaniu pamięci zbiorowej zarówno poprzez eksponaty muzealne i wystawy jak i wspomnienia ocalałych więźniów. Analiza pokazuje, że reżim totalitarny nadużywał swojej władzy do manipulowania pamięcią, ale także, że mniejszość stworzyła równoległą pamięć zbiorową. W ten sposób mniejszość terezińska stała się symbolem żydowskiej odwagi i cierpienia.
Ślady wojny w przestrzeni miejskiej − doświadczanie i muzealizacja
Authors: Krajewska Joanna
Published: December 2024

W artykule opisano trzy miasta w Polsce, które w odmienny sposób doświadczyły tragedii II wojny światowej: Warszawę, Kraków i Wrocław. We wszystkich do dzisiaj zachowały się ślady wielkiego spustoszenia dokonanego przez wojnę. Wyboru dokonano na podstawie doświadczenia miejsc przez autorkę, stąd tekst ma momentami charakter autoetnograficzny. Podjęty temat stanowi propozycję percepcji śladów historii poprzez spacer po mieście i indywidualne, wielozmysłowe zaangażowanie. Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie zjawiska występowania wojennych śladów we współczesnej przestrzeni miejskiej oraz prezentacja aktualnych praktyk służących ich zachowaniu i upamiętnieniu.
Przekraczanie granic rasowych i diaspory w przestrzeni kolonialnego miasta. Hindusi ismailiccy i ich edukacja w Mwanzie w Tanzanii (lata 20. i 50. XX wieku)
Authors: Sumara Kerindo Abeid
Published: December 2024

Niniejszy artykuł dotyczy przejawów tożsamości indyjskich ismailitów z mieszkającej w Tanganice diaspory uwidocznionych w systemie edukacji w okresie gdy brytyjski rząd kolonialny dążył do stworzenia systemu szkolnictwa opartego na kategoriach rasowych. Na podstawie źródeł archiwalnych i wtórnych omówione są próby propagowania zjednoczonej indyjskiej diaspory podjęte przez brytyjskich urzędników oraz sprzeciw ismailitów wobec tych prób. Istniejące badania dostarczają uogólnionego obrazu konkurujących tożsamości wśród imigrantów z Indii zamieszkałych w koloniach Afryki Wschodniej, natomiast niniejszy artykuł przedstawia szczegóły takiego zjawiska w mieście Mwanza oraz dowodzi, że edukacja była ważnym narzędziem tworzenia tożsamości wśród poddanych kolonialnych na obszarach miejskich. Mieszkający w Mwanza ismailici odróżniali się od ogółu indyjskiej diaspory i zakładali oddzielne szkoły, co pozwalało spełnić wymagania dotyczące religijności i życia wspólnotowego ich społeczności.

Violence against memory: communicative strategies of Scythian barrow reuse
Authors: Demina Alisa
Published: December 2024

This article provides a diachronic analysis of barrow reuse during the Bronze Age and Scythian times, focusing on a case study from the right bank of the Molochna river basin (North Azov, Ukraine). It compares the successive chronological phases of barrow-building cultures from the Yamna to the Scythian time regarding their spatial arrangement, patterns of secondary burial inclusions, and burial reopenings. The spatial analysis shows that all barrow clusters appeared in this territory during the Yamna phase. In all subsequent phases, barrows continued to be constructed exclusively within these pre-existing clusters. Various types of burial inclusions and mound modifications were typical for all Bronze Age phases. However, while Scythian burials maintained the reuse of predecessor’s barrows, they seldom made secondary burials in contemporary barrows. Simultaneously, the number and scale of burial destructions significantly increased during the Scythian time. This shows a shift in attitudes towards barrows within distant and living memory and their role in communicating inheritance claims.
Германская колониальная экспансия в Китай в конце XIX в.
Authors: Тихонов А.С.
Published: December 2024

В статье рассматривается германская политика, которая проводилась в восточноазиатском регионе в конце XIX в. и была направлена на приобретение незамерзающего порта в Китае с целью дальнейшей экономической экспансии в регионе. Проанализированы экономические и военно-политические причины расширения влияния Второго рейха на Восточную Азию в конце XIX – начале XX в. Выявлены основания выбора порта Цзяочжоу в качестве основной цели германской колониальной политики в Восточной Азии и роль Альфреда фон Тирпица в выборе данного порта. Кроме того, обозначена степень влияния германского военно-морского флота в указанном регионе и дана оценка его усилиям по превращению Цзяочжоу в образцовую колонию. Отмечается постепенная трансформация направленности германского колониализма в Китае под воздействием интересов двух крупнейших держав в регионе – Великобритании и России. Указывается на активное использование англо-русского антагонизма для укрепления позиций Германии в Восточной Азии и создания собственной зоны влияния в регионе. Автор приходит к выводу, что захват бухты Цзяочжоу в ноябре 1897 г. дал старт новому этапу европейской политики в отношении Китая, начавшему раздел его территорий между великими державами, имевшими свои интересы в Восточной Азии.

The article examines the policy pursued by Germany in the East Asian region in the late 19th century aimed at acquiring an ice-free port in China for further economic expansion in the region. The author analyzes economic and military-political reasons for German expansion into East Asia in the late 19th – early 20th centuries and reveals the reasons for choosing the port of Jiaozhou as the main target for German colonial expansion in East Asia and the role of Alfred von Tirpitz, the future creator of the German “high seas fleet,” in choosing that port. In addition to that, the author identifies the degree of the German Navy’s influence in the region and assesses its efforts to turn Jiaozhou into a model colony. It is noted that there was a gradual transformation of the German colonial policy in China under the influence of the interests of the two largest powers in the region – Great Britain and Russia. It is shown that Anglo–Russian antagonism was used to strengthen German position in East Asia and to create its own zone of influence in the region. The author concludes that the capture of Jiaozhou Bay in November 1897 launched a new stage of European policy in relation to China, which was the starting point in the territorial division of China between the great powers that had their own interests in East Asia.
Феномен доходного дома Петербурга в 1870-е гг. – начале XX века Рецензия на: Демидович Д.М. Доходные дома Петербурга: организация, взаимодействие с государственными и коммерческими структурами, повседневность (1870-е гг. – начало XX века): монография. Москва: У Никитских ворот, 2023. 256 с.
Authors: Синова И.В.
Published: December 2024

Рецензируемая монография представляет собой исследование доходных домов Санкт-Петербурга, которые впервые в историографии рассматриваются не только как место жительства горожан, но и как пространство, где происходит становление поведенческих практик, формирование новой системы коммуникации с домовладельцами, управляющими, прислугой, а также с официальными лицами государственных и коммерческих структур столицы. Представленные в работе статистические сведения о квартирном налоге, судебных решениях по нарушению законодательных норм, связанных с домовладениями, штрафах за правонарушения в данной сфере, росте количества телефонов способствуют созданию полномасштабной картины функционирования и развития доходных домов. Автор книги в числе первых проанализировал систему сдачи в аренду самих доходных домов и сформировавшиеся вокруг этого отношения горожан, возникавшие конфликты и пути их разрешения.

The monograph under reviewed is a study of tenement buildings in St Petersburg. For the first time in historiography, they are considered not only as a place of residence of citizens but also as a space where behavioral practices are formed as well as a new system of communication with homeowners, managers, servants and also the officials of the metropolitan state and commercial structures. The statistical information presented in the work regarding rental taxes, court decisions on violations of legislative norms related to house ownership, fines for offenses in that area, and the growth in the number of telephones contribute to the creation of a full-scale picture of functioning and development of tenement buildings. The author of the monograph was among the first to analyze the system of renting out the whole tenement buildings and the relationships between citizens that were formed around that as well as the conflicts that arose and ways to resolve them.
Formação inicial docente para o uso pedagógico das tecnologias digitais
Authors: Rodrigues Irene Raquel Santana , Rodrigues Alessandra
Published: December 2024

Esta pesquisa analisa experiências curriculares de estudantes de licenciatura em Ciências da Natureza em relação à sua formação para integrar as Tecnologias Digitais de Informação e Comunicação (TDIC) ao currículo escolar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa cujos dados advêm de análise documental; questionário e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Os resultados, à luz dos estudos de currículo e de integração das TDIC na educação, evidenciam que são escassas e não lineares as discussões sobre uso pedagógico dessas tecnologias na graduação. As compreensões dos(as) licenciandos(as) sobre esse tema estão mais relacionadas a percursos curriculares pessoais ou a experiências vivenciadas em disciplinas não didático-pedagógicas. Os sujeitos também mostram uma visão utilitarista das TDIC na educação – o que, em parte, pode decorrer das práticas dos formadores e de fragilidades nos Projetos Pedagógicos dos cursos.
Avaliação da percepção auditiva da fala em crianças usuárias de dispositivos eletrônicos auxiliares de audição
Authors: Jesus Katiely da Conceição de , Cidrônio Alline Silva , Fidêncio Vanessa Luisa Destro , Vicente Letícia Cristina
Published: December 2024

Introdução: a avaliação dos resultados do uso de dispositivos eletrônicos auxiliares de audição (DEEA) é parte fundamental da prática clínica baseada em evidências. Objetivo: realizar um levantamento dos testes disponíveis no Português Brasileiro para avaliação da percepção auditiva da fala em crianças com perda auditiva usuárias de DEAA. Métodos: trata-se de revisão integrativa da literatura. A busca foi realizada em diferentes bases de dados e foram incluídos estudos que apresentaram a elaboração ou tradução e adaptação cultural de testes, escalas e/ou questionários no/para o Português Brasileiro com o objetivo de avaliar a percepção auditiva da fala de crianças usuárias de DEAA. Resultado: 14 estudos foram incluídos nesta revisão, dos quais somente um teste clínico e um questionário foram desenvolvidos no próprio idioma, tendo sido os demais traduzidos da língua inglesa e adaptados para a população-alvo brasileira. Discussão: Foram encontrados instrumentos com diferentes níveis de complexidade, incluindo oito questionários que podem ser preenchidos pelos responsáveis pela criança mediante observação do comportamento auditivo. É primordial que cada serviço desenvolva um protocolo de avaliação considerando o tempo de aplicação de cada instrumento escolhido e as características da criança e que os profissionais que atuam com essas crianças estejam familiarizados com os objetivos, idade alvo, composição/forma de aplicação e pontuação desses instrumentos. Conclusão: Foi possível identificar 14 instrumentos disponíveis no Português Brasileiro utilizados para avaliar a percepção auditiva da fala em crianças com perda auditiva usuárias de DEAA.
