A dimensão espiritual da comensalidade no filme “A Festa de Babette”: por uma compreensão ecumênica da hospitalidade e da eucaristia
Authors: Mariani Ceci Maria Costa Baptista , Campos Breno Martins , Lima Júnior José
Published: May 2023

A espiritualidade é o cuidado com a vida em sua integralidade. Como define Faustino Teixeira no artigo “Malhas da hospitalidade”, ela é a capacidade de celebrar a vida em profundidade, ou seja, a capacidade humana de reconhecer que a vida tem uma dimensão profunda – da qual irradiam amor desinteressado, gratuidade, atenção, cortesia e hospitalidade – e de se alegrar com isso. Diferentemente do que geralmente se pensa, a espiritualidade não se restringe aos templos e espaços religiosos, antes, diz respeito a pessoas e não a almas etéreas. Portanto, perpassa toda a vida cotidiana. Na atualidade, diante dos desafios dos tempos sombrios em que vivemos, tanto na dimensão política como na de saúde pública, a casa se torna um lugar privilegiado para o cultivo da espiritualidade. Neste artigo, buscamos explicitar a dimensão espiritual da comensalidade de acordo com uma análise interpretativa do filme “A Festa de Babette” (1987), dirigido por Gabriel Axel, baseado na obra homônima da escritora dinamarquesa Karen Blixen. Em nossa análise, buscamos ressaltar a compreensão ecumênica do mistério eucarístico que o filme inspira.

Published: May 2023

Background: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been shown to enhance wound healing in rats with type 1 diabetes (DM1). Objectives: This experimental study aimed to explore how ADSC administration affects bacterial count, wound size, biomechanical and stereological parameters, and the expression of microRNA-21 and FGF2 in a rat model of infected, ischemic, and delayed wound healing in DM1. Methods: Twenty-four male adult Wistar rats weighing less than 250 g were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 6 per group). Type 1 diabetes was induced in all animals, resulting in the development of a delayed, ischemic, and infected wound model. The CGday4 and CGday8 groups served as controls. In the AGday4 group, the animals received allograft h-ADSs and were euthanized on day four after surgery. Similarly, in the AGday8 group, the animals received h-ADSs and were euthanized on day eight after surgery. Microbial colony counts, wound size, stereological parameters, and the expression of microRNA-21 and FGF2 were evaluated in this study during the inflammation (day 4) and proliferation (day 8) stages of wound healing. Results: We demonstrated that h-ADSs significantly reduced microbiological counts compared to the control group on days 4 and 8. Moreover, in the AGday8 group compared to the AGday4 group, this decline in microbiological counts was even more pronounced. Moreover, we observed that the stereological characteristics in the AGday4 and AGday8 groups were significantly superior to those in the CG groups. Additionally, the AGday4 and AGday8 groups exhibited smaller ulcer area sizes compared to the CG groups. Furthermore, the AGday4 and AGday8 groups demonstrated higher expression levels of FGF2 and microRNA-21 than the CG groups on days 4 and 8. Notably, on day 8, the AGday8 group’s outcomes surpassed those of the AGday4 group (P < 0.01). Conclusions: Through lowering microbial counts, modifying stereological parameters, microRNA-21, and FGF2 expression, the administration of hADS dramatically speeds up the healing of MARS-infected and ischemic ulcers in DM1 rats.

Published: May 2023

Background: Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) is an alternative to central venous cannulation. This study aimed to identify factors associated with first-attempt success rate in children undergoing PICC insertion. Methods: This retrospective study included pediatric patients who underwent PICC placement at the Children’s Hospital of Zhejiang (1/2020-12/2020). The successful puncture was defined as smooth blood return and insertion of the guide wire. Clinical data were collected, and factors associated with first-attempt success were identified by logistic regression analyses. Results: The final analysis included 640 children (360 males, 56.2%). Successful puncture at the first attempt was achieved in 380 (59.4%) patients. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that being uncooperative after sedation (OR = 2.745, 95%CI: 1.028 - 7.331, P = 0.044), being cooperative after sedation (OR = 0.318, 95%CI: 0.128–0.791, P = 0.014), target vein depth (0.5 - 1 vs. ≤ 0.5: OR = 1.715, 95%CI: 1.081–2.720, P = 0.022; 1.1-1.5 vs. ≤ 0.5: OR = 3.036, 95%CI: 1.166 - 7.903, P = 0.023; > 1.5 vs. ≤ 0.5: OR = 10.453, 95%CI: 2.366 - 46.139, P = 0.002), target vein diameter (2.0 - 2.9 vs. ≤ 2: OR = 0.313, 95%CI: 0.180 - 0.545, P < 0.001; ≥ 3 vs. ≤ 2: OR = 0.122, 95%CI: 0.055 - 0.272, P < 0.001), and 3F catheter specification (vs. 1.9F: OR = 2.057, 95%CI: 1.069 - 3.958, P = 0.031) were independently associated with puncture failure at the first attempt. Conclusions: The degree of cooperation, target vein diameter and depth, and catheter specification were independently associated with the first-attempt success rate.

Authors: Chen Qian-Qian , Zhang Du-Fei , Wang Ya-Zhou , Zhang Xiang-Yun
Published: May 2023

Background: Early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of children with CHD has been the focus of research attention. Hainan is the southernmost underdeveloped province in China, where the technology of screening, diagnosis, and treatment for children with CHD has not been fully developed. Objectives: This study aimed to introduce and promote an appropriate technology system for screening, diagnosis, and evaluation of neonatal CHD. Methods: Two indicators, namely cardiac auscultation plus pulse oximetry (POX), were used by screening staff to screen live newborns within six to 72 hours after birth at all screening institutions in Hainan province from January 1, 2019, to December 31, 2021. Diagnosis procedure for the screened-positive newborns was performed in 31 certified medical institutions, and evaluation procedure for the newborns confirmed with CHD was performed in six certified medical institutions. Data about screening, diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment were obtained, uploaded, and managed online through a neonatal CHD screening information management net. Results: A total of 321447 live births were included in the CHD screening project, and an overall screening rate of 97.59% (321447/329387) was determined. According to our results, 8032 cases were screened-positive. A total of 1099 cases of CHD were confirmed, suggesting a CHD prevalence of 3.419 per 1000 live births. Atrial septal defect (ASD) was the most common CHD lesion, with a prevalence of 1.313 per 1000 live births. The sensitivity of cardiac auscultation, POX, and two indicators’ combination (i.e., cardiac auscultation plus POX) for CHD detection were 69.15%, 33.49%, and 91.90%, respectively; and the specificity of them were 98.36%, 99.43%, and 97.81%, respectively. The ratio of both positive in two indicators among the children with major (serious and critical) CHD at the initial screening was significantly higher than that of single positive in any indicator (χ2 = 59.455, P < 0.001). All children with CHD were evaluated, out of who 154 children with major CHD were treated promptly. Only 15 cases of children with major CHD died, and the standardized mortality of children aged 0 - 1 years with CHD was 4.67/100,000. Conclusions: It was concluded that the combination of two indicators (i.e., cardiac auscultation plus POX) for CHD screening was reliable as well as non-invasive, simple, and easy to operate so that it was conducive for promotion. It was also found that introducing and promoting an appropriate technology for screening, diagnosis, and evaluation of neonatal CHD were extremely significant since they may have contributed to the timely diagnosing and treating children with CHD, especially those with major CHD.

Published: May 2023

Background: The outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) created unexpected impacts worldwide. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the association of SARS-CoV-2 viral load in pregnant women with maternal disease severity and neonatal outcomes. Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, 55 pregnant women infected with SARS-CoV-2 and their newborn infants were included. The association between maternal viral load (tested by cycle threshold) and maternal disease severity/neonatal outcomes was examined. Results: Infants had a median gestational age of 38 (29 - 41) weeks and birth weight of 3200 (630 - 4570) grams. The median Ct value of pregnant women was 30 (20 - 37). No significant difference was detected among mild, moderate or severely ill pregnant women in terms of median Ct values (30, 28.5, and 30, respectively; P > 0.05). The median Ct value of pregnant women who gave preterm delivery was similar to those who had term delivery [30 (21 - 36) vs. 30 (25 - 35); P > 0.05]. The median Ct values were similar among pregnant women who died or survived [32.5 (30 - 34) vs. 30 (21 - 36); P > 0.05]. Preterm delivery rates and overall mortality were not associated with SARS-CoV-2 RT-qPCR Ct values, (r = 0.04, P > 0.05). No correlation was found between maternal SARS-CoV-2 viral load and maternal disease severity/neonatal outcomes. Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this study was the first one examining the association between maternal SARS-CoV-2 viral load and maternal/neonatal outcomes. It was suggested that viral load may not have been used for predicting the severity of maternal disease and maternal/neonatal outcomes.

Published: May 2023

Background: In many developing countries, most patients referred for hospitalization for high suicide risk are deprived of adequate care, mainly because of limited psychiatric facilities. Objectives: We aimed to investigate the short-term outcomes of an outpatient psychiatric crisis intervention (PCI) service enhanced with case management for patients with suicide risk where hospital admission was impossible because of the bed shortage. Methods: We developed a service model provided by a team of psychiatry residents, psychologists, and social workers supervised by a faculty psychiatrist. We piloted it in Roozbeh Psychiatry Hospital for patients when hospitalization was indicated for suicidality, but admission was not possible due to the bed shortage. This study followed an action research design and methodology. The sample was selected from individuals referred to Roozbeh Hospital. All subjects who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were included in the study. Convenience sampling was used for the satisfaction assessments. Results: The PCI provided the service to 173 patients. The suicide risk was resolved in 48 (27.7%) patients. The remaining consisted of individuals finally hospitalized when beds were available (73 patients, 42.2%) or dropped out of the service (52 patients, 30.1%). Most patients (86%) were satisfied with the service. Only one non-lethal suicide attempt was reported in the two-month follow-up. Conclusions: An outpatient crisis service for suicidality enhanced with case management may reduce the need for hospitalization. However, randomized controlled studies are needed to establish its effectiveness.

Published: May 2023

Context: There is evidence of the positive effect of neurofeedback, neuropsychology, and phonological awareness interventions on improving dyslexia symptoms. However, no agreement exists on the effectiveness of these interventions and the most efficient intervention. Objectives: This research aimed to compare the effectiveness of interventions based on neurofeedback, neuropsychology, and phonological awareness in improving dyslexia symptoms in students with the network meta-analysis method to determine the most efficient intervention. Evidence Acquisition: A network meta-analysis was conducted to identify studies on neurofeedback, neuropsychology, and phonological awareness interventions. A systematic review was done using Scopus, PubMed, Magiran, SID, and Civilica databases to find studies related to the research objectives, which led to the analysis of 49 studies with 1,741 participants and 15 types of interventions compared to controls. Individual interventions were classified into neurofeedback, neuropsychology, and phonological awareness. The studies were evaluated in terms of the risk of bias. The data were analyzed using the frequency approach through R and R studio software to compare the direct and indirect evidence of the effectiveness of the interventions. Results: Neurofeedback, neuropsychology, and phonological awareness interventions were effective in improving dyslexia symptoms compared to controls. The perceptual-motor method, among individual interventions, and neuropsychological interventions, among group interventions, were ranked as "interventions with greater effectiveness" in reducing dyslexia symptoms. Subgroup analysis was also performed to find the sources of heterogeneity and inconsistency. Conclusions: To the perceptual-motor method and neuropsychology intervention group were ranked as the best interventions.. However, most of these studies were conducted in Iran, and further studies in different cultural fields and countries can help clarify the issue.

DÜŞÜNCE DENEYLERİNİN DOĞASI VE İŞLEVİ
Authors: ÇİLİNGİR Lokman
Published: May 2023

Tasavvur edilen senaryolar aracılığıyla bilimsel araştırmalarda olduğu kadar pratik yaşamda da karşılaşılan temel sorunları çözmemize kılavuzluk eden zihinsel etkinliklerin bütününü düşünce deneyi olarak adlandırabiliriz. Düşünme deneyleri, düşünmeye teşvik eden, eleştiriye zemin hazırlayan, farklı görüş açılarını besleyen, araştırma ve eylem ölçütleri geliştiren, sınırlar çizen, olası sonuçları tartan bir işleve sahiptir. Onlar bilimin ve felsefenin uzun tarihlerinde önemli bir rol oynamış; özellikle bilimsel devrimler döneminde belirleyici bir niteliğe bürünerek bütün kuramları şekillendirmiştir. Bu durum modern bilimin başlangıcı ve yirminci yüzyılın başındaki bilimsel altüst oluşlar için ziyadesiyle geçerlidir. Düşünce deneyleri bilim tarihinde olduğu kadar bilim felsefesinde ve epistemolojide de merkezi bir konuma sahip olmuştur. Ancak düşünce deneylerinin önemli bir kısmı, en azından ilk bakışta, olgusal bilgiyi tecrübi (laboratuvar tekniğine dayalı) değil de a priori şekilde tasarlama olanağı olarak kabul edildiğinden, deneyci ekolden gelen çoğu bilim felsefecisi düşünce deneylerinin “deney” statüsünü kuşkuyla karşılamıştır.
Bilimsel sahada olduğu kadar felsefi sahada da düşünce deneylerine sıkça başvurulur. Hiçbir teknik veya yöntem felsefi ilgiye sahip olmayan insanları eleştirel felsefi bir atmosfere sokmak ve pratik felsefenin sorunlarını tanıtmak için düşünce deneyi kadar uygun ve etkili değildir. Platon’un Devlet’indeki “Gyges’in yüzüğü” efsanesinden, Rawls’ın Bir Adalet Kuramı’ndaki “bilgisizlik peçesi”ne kadar düşünce deneyleri felsefede ama özellikle etik tartışmalarda eylem ilkelerini belirleyici bir işleve sahiptir. Hatta Kant'ın kategorik buyruğunun, somut karar verme durumlarına uygulanması istenilen bir düşünce deneyi modelini andırdığı söylenebilir. Burada amacımız hem bilim hem de felsefe açısından bu denli önemli olan ve son dönemlerde eğitim sahasında da sıkça başvurulan düşünce deneylerinin doğasını ve işlevini aydınlatmaya çalışmaktır. Böyle bir çalışma aynı zamanda bilim ve felsefe sahasında kullanılan düşünce deneyleri arasında bir benzerliğin veya etkileşimin olup olmadığı sorusunu da yanıtlamamızı mümkün kılacaktır.

PEJA 1990-1997 ACCORDING TO ORAL AND DOCUMENTARY HISTORY
Authors: Basha Kosovar
Published: May 2023

This study summarizes a research period of the important moments of the era of functioning of the city of Peja during the period 1990-1997, in the social, political, economic, cultural and educational fields. In an analytical and systematic way, the contribution of Pejans during this period of time is presented here. The main incentive for writing this text was the experience gained in the course Methodology of history and theories of the XIX-XX centuries, which was taught by prof. Jahja Drançolli whereupon we gained a modest experience in oral history as a new discipline in world historiography. For the contribution made in this discipline, young researchers such as Agon Rrezja should be mentioned with his master’s thesis “Llapusha sipas historisë gojore dhe dokumentare” (“Llapusha according to oral and documentary history”) defended in 2012 in the Department of History, using oral and documentary sources for the Llapusha region. Our main aim stems from the fact that oral history is a new discipline and not addressed in Albanian historiography. No researcher has dealt with Peja from the point of view of oral sources during this period of time and even earlier. Finally, we find that this study can modestly serve any history enthusiast to delve into this issue in other, more detailed ways.

نحو رؤية استراتيجية للإصلاح الإداري
Authors: الفقيه أ.د وهيبة غالب فارع
Published: May 2023

بدأ اليمن بعد تحقيق الوحدة اليمنية في مطلع التسعينات عهداً ديمقراطياً جديداً مستفيداً من تجارب الماضي لنظامين سياسيين مختلفين في بلد واحد و ظروف اقتصادية واحدة وان كان هناك تباين نسبي في مستويات الدخل والحرية الاقتصادية وتبع قيام الوحدة العمل على دمج المؤسسات الاقتصادية والسياسية التي كانت قائمة في الشطرين بما فيها من ايجابيات وسلبيات وان كانت تلبي في بعدها السياسي تذويب المؤسسات لتصبح كيانا واحدا.

كان لتمزق البلاد أثر بالغ في تدني البنى التحتية الإدارية والبنى المادية على حد سواء،كما أدى النزاع على السلطة إلى تجميد عملية التكيف الطبيعي في المجال الإداري وعزل الإدارة طوال عقدين من الزمن عن التطورات والإنجازات في عالمي التكنولوجيا والاتصالات وفي مجال الخبرات العلمية التي تدفع بالعديد من البلدان نحو التخلص من القيود والشكليات التي تلقي بظلها على بعض الأعمال الحكومية، وتفسح المجال أمام المبادرة الفردية، وتعمل على تسهيل وتبسيط عملية اتخاذ القرارات الإدارية. وكانت النتيجة، بالإضافة إلى تراجع الأداء الإداري، أن الإجراءات الإدارية والإجراءات المتعلقة بالوظيفة العامة لم تعد منسجمة مع متطلبات المجتمعات الحديثة.

وقد أدى ذلك إلى ظهور بعض الأمراض الإدارية.. منها أن ملامح ضعف الأداء التي ظهرت على الإدارة وضعت الجهاز الحكومي أمام مشكلة عدم القدرة على تنفيذ مهامه بالكفاءة المطلوبة للقيام بدوره في عملية النهوض الاقتصادي والاجتماعي، ومن ثم ظهر إجماع لدى القطاعين الخاص والعام على السواء.. على أن مواطن الضعف والقصور التي تعاني منها الإدارة تقف حجر عثرة في وجه النمو الاقتصادي للبلاد وعلى الأخص تلبية ما يخص حاجة المواطنين، وزاد الطين بلة تحميل كل طرف للآخر مسؤولية تردي الإدارة خصوصا عندما اشتركت الأحزاب السياسية في تشكيل الحكومة كائتلاف.

من هنا، وعت الدولة أن تطوير الإدارة وتحديث نصوصها وإجراءاتها وتطوير أساليب عملها ، يعتبر المدخل الصحيح والوحيد لتحفيز استثمارات القطاع الخاص وترغيب المستثمرين العرب والأجانب لتوظيف أموالهم في الداخل.. خصوصاً بعد حل مشكلات الحدود وترسيمها مع دول الجوار والاتجاه في طلب الانضمام إلى تجمع دول مجلس التعاون الخليجي للدخول في تحالف اقتصادي إقليمي بما تشكله اليمن من بعد طبيعي وجغرافي لمسارات الاقتصاد الإقليمي.
To Laugh or Not to Laugh: How Comedy News Versus Hard News Interacts with Individuals’ Levels of Political Cynicism and Political Efficacy to Impact the Agenda-Setting Effects
Authors: Kowalewski Jennifer , Stewart Chip
Published: May 2023

This experiment investigated how the same information presented as either hard news or comedy news interacted with individuals’ levels of cynicism and levels of efficacy to impact the agendasetting effects. The results indicated individuals who received the comedy news story and had increased levels of cynicism accepted the media’s agenda more than those who received the same information presented as hard news. However, individuals who received the hard news story and had increased levels of efficacy were more likely to cite the issue they received as compared to those who received the same information presented as comedy news.
Experiential Learning Labs in Public Relations Programs: Characteristics of Undergraduate Student-Run Public Relations Firms on U.S. College Campuses
Authors: Maben Sarah , Whitson Kathleen
Published: May 2023

Advisors from 55 of 119 student-run public relations firms on U.S. college campuses provided data about firm characteristics. A listing of student-run public relations firms, or agencies, was created and through an online survey questionnaire, results show that firm characteristics (years in operation, funding, workspace, hiring process, types of clients, and student involvement in decisions) are more similar than dissimilar even when comparing student-run public relations agencies of varying years in operation. Statistically significant results were found for the difference between firm types for the average number of hours students worked per week (F=6.612, eta-square= 0.18) and ACEJMC accreditation (F=3.71, eta- square=0.13). Recommendations and research ideas about this type of experiential learning lab are explored for future study.
Earth Wars: PETA, Sea Shepherds, Greenpeace and Ethics
Authors: Pewitt-Jones Kim
Published: May 2023

This paper discusses ethics theories employed by environmental and animal rights organizations such as PETA, The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, and Greenpeace, in recruiting supporters. These organizations must gain support based on ethics, but what philosophy do they follow in gaining supporters? By examining the ethics theories used by these environmentalists, the research is enhanced concerning how environmental organizations gain support through moral and ethical appeals. Discussing these practices might allow researchers and organizations to examine closer the ethical practices of environmental organizations to gain more understanding of how they attract supporters. It may also provide insight concerning how they could gain more support for their causes through a better understanding of cultural moral values beyond Western moral philosophies.
Portrayals of a Presidential Statement on Race: The Barack Obama-Trayvon Martin Connection in 25 Daily Newspapers
Authors: Daniels George , Fears Lillie M. , Tait Gabriel B.
Published: May 2023

This study analyzed daily newspaper coverage of President Obama’s July 19, 2013 statement on the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin. The story was the most high-profile incident of 2013 where race was a major issue. The 25 front pages that made up the purposive sample represented a range of newspaper types including 13 metropolitan newspapers, seven community newspapers and five with the largest circulations in the nation. The analysis showed that the storyline most newspapers used in reporting on the statement by the nation’s first bi-racial president was one that made the connection between Obama and a 17-year-old African American boy from Florida who was gunned down as he wore a hoodie and carried a bag of Skittles. Fifteen of the 25 newspapers chose to use Obama’s words Trayvon Martin “Could Have Been Me” in their headline.
Re(claiming) and Re(naming) #MyDallasIs: An Analysis of Citizen Framing of Dallas after the 2016 Ambush
Authors: Maben Sarah , Endres-Parnell Prairie , Helvie-Mason Lora
Published: May 2023

After a peaceful protest in Dallas, Texas became the site of an ambush of police officers, The Dallas Morning News (DMN) asked readers to tell the world about their city, through a meme generator and #MyDallasIs hashtag. Citizen framing was analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods to discover how the city was framed on Twitter (n=277 tweets), publicly available Instagram posts (n=91), and through comments left on a The DMN webpage (n=209). Participants opted for frames that re(named) and re(claimed) their city, with themes of home, unity, diversity, city pride, beauty, love and resilience. On the newspaper’s page, one additional dominant theme surfaced: otherness, aggression, and privilege.  This research expands the literature with the notion that platforms exhibit differences in frames projected by the citizen journalists. Authors offer implications of social media citizen framing and recovery efforts for cities after urban trauma.
The Problem of Subjectivity in High School Reporters’ News Writing
Authors: Wilderman Melanie Gail , Nasrin Sohana
Published: May 2023

Through a qualitative textual analysis of writing samples from 10 high school journalism programs, this research explores the types of subjectivity found in student journalists’ reported news stories. Results are categorized into three problem areas: 1) problems common to most novice writers; 2) problems of nuance, which are more complicated and can require years of experience to fully grasp, and 3) problems specific to young writers who have grown up in a digital media landscape that allows them to shape the content they consume to their specifications. Recommendations relevant to scholastic journalism instruction follow analysis.
“Thoughtful, well-written and vital” or “Outdated, sensational, and biased”?
Authors: Paul Newly , Nisbett Gwendelyn
Published: May 2023

Using a mixed-method approach, this project examines whether readers’ tastes and attitudes toward the North Texas Daily, a campus newspaper at the University of North Texas have changed between 2013 and 2019 when the newspaper implemented digital-first strategies. Survey results indicate that perceptions of relevance of the content have remained the most significant factor for readership. Moreover, an in-depth textual analysis revealed themes of community engagement and alienation, which also affected readership. Normative and industry implications of the findings are discussed.
Super Bowl LI Advertisers Strategic Playbook: Brand Promotion Working Overtime
Authors: Craig Clay , Bichard Shannon , Brooks Mary Liz
Published: May 2023

The magnitude of the Super Bowl has prompted advertisers to produce content as grand as the sporting event itself (Veksner, 2015, p. 130). The 2017 game was particularly unique with the historic face-off between the Atlanta Falcons and New England Patriots (Bergman, 2017; Breech; 2017). This paper examined brand promotion during Super Bowl LI by analyzing appeals, creative strategies, and tactics in television commercials and social media as well as consumer affect from USA Today’s Ad Meter rankings. Results indicate that advertisers made great efforts to feature appeals and strategic messaging during the game to fit each promotional platform.
It’s Not All Doom and Gloom:
Authors: Cozma Raluca , Muturi Nancy
Published: May 2023

A nationally representative online survey was conducted in the United States in July 2020 to examine the role of social media use in knowledge about COVID-19, compliance with public health guidelines, and protective behaviors. Building on the Protection Motivation Theory, the analysis revealed that threat severity perceptions and self-efficacy, but not vulnerability perceptions, mediated the negative impact of social media use during the pandemic. Given the current debates surrounding the effect of social media use on both political and health knowledge, the study's findings suggest that rather than inundating social media with messages about the severity of the disease, risk communication that meets audiences where they are and enhance both self-efficacy and severity perceptions could lead to wider adoption of protective responses.
Save the Amazon Rainforest!: Message Strategies of Charity Advertising in Social Media
Authors: Chung Jee Young , Braun Rachel
Published: May 2023

A common advertising message strategy used in gaining donations is utilizing images provoking emotion, statistics that support the need, and anecdotal wording to appeal to empathy. Utilizing the Elaboration Likelihood Model, this research examines the impacts of advertising message strategies on donation intention towards an environmental issue, by using a 2 (anecdotal versus logical appeal) × 2 (visual versus no visual) experiment. In addition, this study seeks to find relationships among other important factors such as the feeling of guilt, prior donation history, message comprehension, involvement, and gender. A result from 591 respondents using AmazonTurk showed that logical appeal influences respondents’ intention to recommend the cause to others and donation intention. Females were prone to feel higher amounts of guilt than males, females were more likely to recommend donating to others than males, and previous donors had higher intentions to donate and recommend donating to others. Further theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

Authors: Lopes Raphaella Duarte Cavalcante , Cunha Débora Alfaia da , Brasil Silvany Ellen Risuenho , Nina Karla Cristina Furtado , Silva Simone Souza da Costa
Published: May 2023

A pesquisa analisou a produção científica a respeito da formação docente sobre inclusão escolar de alunos público da Educação Especial, no contexto brasileiro. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão integrativa da literatura, no Portal de Periódicos da Capes, com os cruzamentos: Educação Inclusiva (ou Inclusão Escolar ou Inclusão Educacional ou Educação Especial) e Formação de Professores (ou Formação Docente). Obteve-se 29 artigos que compuseram este trabalho. Identificou-se um aumento de publicações na área de formação docente referente à inclusão escolar, no período de 2016 a 2020, em periódicos QUALIS A2. A maioria dos estudos foi realizada na Educação Básica, com professores de sala comum, principalmente, na Região Sudeste. Verificou-se que atuais e futuros profissionais da educação não tinham formação ou não se sentiam preparados e que as formações recebidas variavam bastante. A colaboração entre professores e demais profissionais da Educação foi apresentada como uma das possíveis soluções diante das dificuldades da inclusão escolar. Concluiu-se que há necessidade de a legislação estabelecer conteúdos e carga horária para formação docente na área de inclusão escolar do público da Educação Especial, bem como há necessidade de ampliação desses estudos na Educação Superior e de investimentos em pesquisas na Região Norte, a fim de melhorar a qualidade das formações dos professores e, consequentemente, do ensino dos alunos público da Educação Especial.
Regulamentos dos Núcleos de Atendimento às Pessoas com Necessidades Educacionais Específicas nos Institutos Federais brasileiros
Authors: Santos Jéssica Rodrigues , Vilaronga Carla Ariela Rios , Mendes Enicéia Gonçalves
Published: May 2023

A Rede Federal de Educação Profissional, Científica e Tecnológica (EPCT) brasileira tem 38 Institutos Federais (IFs), com cerca de 640 campi distribuídos por todo país. Desde 2016, em função do dispositivo legal que assegura um sistema de cotas, tem aumentado o número de ingressantes que são estudantes do Público-Alvo da Educação Especial (PAEE). No âmbito dessas instituições, para apoiar esses estudantes, há os Núcleos de Atendimento às Pessoas com Necessidades Educacionais Específicas (NAPNEs), e o presente estudo teve como objetivo geral caracterizar as diferentes concepções sobre a função e as atribuições dos NAPNEs de todo o país, com base em suas resoluções de funcionamento. O método escolhido foi pesquisa de campo com caráter exploratório, baseado em análise documental de 36 resoluções publicados nos sites oficiais dos IFs. A análise dos documentos teve como resultado quatro eixos de discussão: terminologia dos núcleos, público-alvo assistido, composição das equipes de profissionais, e vinculação institucional dos NAPNEs. Os resultados e análises dos documentos, foram realizados em diálogos com a literatura e permitiram concluir que há ausência de uniformização no entendimento da função, composição, funcionamento do núcleo, bem como na identificação dos desafios a serem superados pelos IFs. Apesar disso, as análises constataram que os NAPNEs buscam implementar ações individuais e coletivas direcionadas aos estudantes da educação especial e à disseminação de informações relacionadas à inclusão escolar nos IFs.
“Se for, vá na paz" - representações da violência em Bacurau
Authors: Gomes Anderson Soares
Published: May 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo investigar os limites e pontos de contato entre as noções de “resistência” e “violência” a partir do filme Bacurau (2019), de Kleber Mendonça Filho e Juliano Dornelles. O trabalho será organizado considerando três focos de análise: o caráter necropolítico da relação entre Estado (simbolizado no personagem do prefeito) e a comunidade de Bacurau; a violência gamificada do grupo de estrangeiros contra a população local; e a dimensão atávica da resposta do povo de Bacurau à violência sofrida por eles. Dessa forma, pretendemos demonstrar como “resistência” e “violência” constituem conceitos centrais in em Bacurau.
Pelas fendas do espaço: geografias l´ésbicas em "Oito do Sete" (2017), de Cristina Judar
Authors: Silva Elisabete Costa , Pereira André Luis Mitidieri
Published: May 2023

Este trabalho consiste na análise do romance Oito do Sete (2017), de Cristina Judar, em relação à emergência de espacialidades sob o ponto de vista lésbico. Apoiamo-nos nas discussões de Browne e Ferreira (2015) e Polesso (2018), no que tange às “geografias lésbicas”, para refletir sobre como os corpos lésbicos podem funcionar enquanto superfícies de (re)significação dos espaços. Nesse sentido, buscamos identificar, na obra literária em destaque, as estratégias adotadas por personagens lésbicas quanto à negociação de lugares onde são ou não aceitas, bem como à resistência a situações de violência às quais são expostas.
Enhancing undergraduate students’ academic writing skills through self-assessment
Authors: Cad Ana Cecilia , Carrera Paul Alexis
Published: May 2023

Developing the knowledge and the skill to master academic writing in higher education constitutes a challenge for most undergraduate students. However, learning about this style of writing opens students’ doors to the wide world of academia. Thus, some undergraduate students were invited to become members of a Writing Feedback Center in which they worked with a tutor and a self-assessment sheet on different writing assignments following an eclectic approach to writing. In this work we analyzed students’ and tutors’ perceptions on self-assessment in relation to the development of their academic skill.

Published: May 2023

Este artículo describe la experiencia pedagógica y de aprendizaje de un cambio de enfoque del curso Inglés con Fines Académicos en la Facultad de Psicología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Desde el 2019, incorporamos las alfabetizaciones académicas (Lea y Street, 2016) al enfoque basado en los géneros discursivos. La pedagogía y la didáctica también se enmarcan en el desarrollo de las habilidades blandas que también guian a los estudiantes para que puedan visibilizar la interacción con los géneros y con la lectura crítica situada y a tener agencia en la participación académica legítima (Canagarajah, 2002).
Individualization of a representative daily trend of pollutant concentrations as characteristic scenario to be simulated by mathematical models
Authors: Tirabassi Tiziano
Published: May 2023

The paper presents a daily trend of pollutant concentrations, referred to as the “representative day”, i.e. the day for which the overall sum of the mean-square differences between its concentration, averaged within each hour, and the concentrations for all other days at the same hour, is a minimum. The approach also allows the identification of the “least representative day” (the daily series that maximises the mean sum of squared residuals).The purpose of such typifying is that of outlining characteristic scenarios for a given period under investigation and than mathematical models make it possible to attempt simulations of a typical period trend, without the need to simulate all the days of the time interval covered by the typical period.
