Using legimation code theory to track pedagogic practice in a South African English home language poetry lesson
Authors: Jackson Fiona
Published: February 2021

This paper utilises two dimensions of Legitimation Code Theory, Specialisation and Semantics, to describe and analyse aspects of the poetry pedagogy of a South African home language subject English teacher. The Specialisation analysis illuminates how, while the lesson is oriented towards social relations in its focus on cultivating learners’ literary gaze, the teacher’s pedagogy exhibits varying emphases on epistemic relations and social relations in different phases of the lesson. These concepts facilitate more precise description of the pedagogy, which assists in clarifying and explicating the nature of the pedagogy of a teacher working with a cultural heritage orientation to literary instruction. Analysis within the Semantic dimension enables the tracking of pulses of shifts in abstraction and particularity through the lesson. This highlights the ways in which the teacher moves between more and less abstract and concrete forms of knowledge, which implicitly models ideational networks required for higher levels of close textual analysis.
Consequences of the progression law in the FET phase: a case study
Authors: Stott Angela Elisabeth , Dreyer Hercules , Venter Peet
Published: February 2021

The progression law, which restricts grade repetition to once within each of the four phases of basic education, has only been enforced in the Further Education and Training (FET) phase since 2013. The first cohort of progressed learners reached grade 12 in 2014. We investigate the extent of progression in 2014 in various school quintiles and the observed and speculated future consequences of the progression law in the FET phase. Our mainly quantitative data includes numbers and pass rates for the entire Free State (FS) province, with a focus on the Motheo district. We also draw on some qualitative data in the forms of questionnaires and reports from teachers and mentors working in 22 low quintile schools in Motheo. Our findings show marked differences in extents and impacts of progression between the school quintiles, with low quintile schools acutely impacted and with difficulties likely to escalate in the next few years.
Principals’ perspectives on key factors that contribute to sustainable quality education
Authors: Heystek Jan , Minnaar Lorinda
Published: February 2021

This article reports on the perspectives of principals about factors, which have an influence on their work to provide quality education for all children. Principals in the Western Cape were asked to rate key factors that contribute to sustainable quality education in their schools. An online survey was implemented as the data collection instrument and the FREQ procedure was followed to analyse the raw data statistically. The results showed that dedicated and well-qualified teachers who teach disciplined learners in a safe environment should receive priority in any action principals and Departments of Education take to improve and sustain the quality of education in the Western Cape and possibly in all South African schools.
‘An entangled bank’: Evolusionêre patrone in die Winterbach-tweeluik Klaaglied vir Koos en erf
Authors: Lemmer Erika
Published: February 2021

The novels of the contemporary Afrikaans writer, Ingrid Winterbach, display a distinctive predisposition towards naturalhistory and Darwinian ideas. Her fictionalisation of a nineteenth-century worldview is underpinned by an imaginative (neo- Victorian) exploration of Darwinian concepts such as growth, metamorphosis, transformation and evolution. In his study on the Darwinian imagination in Victorian fiction, George Levine identifies a gestalt of ideas (both detectable in novels and in science) which can be regarded as central to the Darwin project. Darwin’s metaphor of an entangled bank (which depicts life as an overcrowded space where numerous species compete, diversify and reproduce in a struggle for survival) will be specifically assessed in this evocritical reading of Winterbach’s earlier publications, Klaaglied vir Koos (“Dirge for Koos”, 1984) and Erf (1986).
Eenders en anders: Die leksikons van Afrikaans en Nederlands in die een-en-twintigste eeu —’n loodsstudie
Authors: Bosman Nerina
Published: February 2021

Early research into the Afrikaans vocabulary was mainly diachronic and comparative (Dutch being the “mother” language from which Afrikaans developed) and the relationship between the lexicons of the two languages was not explored in any great detail towards the end of the twentieth century. This state of affairs changed with the publication of Groot Woordeboek Afrikaans en Nederlands (“Great Dictionary Afrikaans and Dutch”) in 2011, a dictionary with an amalgamated lemma list. One of the outcomes of the lexicographic project was the realisation that less than fifty percent of the lemmas in the dictionary were absolute cognates, words which are similar in both form and meaning. This finding prompted a synchronic comparison of word forming processes in Afrikaans and Dutch, using two small newspaper corpora from 2009 as well a selection of neologisms. Analysis of the data shows that although Afrikaans and Dutch differ in the way in which loan words are incorporated—Dutch speakers prefer to take over the words as they are, whereas Afrikaans speakers make use of calques— the morphosemantic process of compounding is still the most productive way for adding words to the lexicon. The two languages do not make use of each others’ coinages, one indication that their lexicons are increasingly growing apart.
Geletterdheidsnarratiewe as spieël van die motiveringsrolle van betekenisvolle andere
Authors: Carstens Adelia
Published: February 2021

During recent years the reading and writing of literacy self-narratives has received renewed attention in Higher Education. Of particular interest are the ways in which these narratives reflect the literacy identities that students construe for themselves and significant others, and how this knowledge may assist lecturers of academic literacy in curriculum reform. This contribution reports on research that was aimed at exploring the roles that Afrikaans mother-tongue first-year BEd students construe for significant others in terms of their support or suppression of literacy development. The New Literacies served as a theoretical vantage point for the pedagogy of the module in question, whereas a model combining insights from the New Literacies and Self-determination Theory was used to analyse 15 narratives qualitatively. A main finding is that the students demonstrate a strong need to feel competent at performing literacy activities, and that teachers are the primary sponsors of such feelings. Parents and other primary caregivers are the second most salient category of significant others who contribute feelings of competence. Parents’ influence start in early childhood, when they initiate early literacy acitivies with their children. These activities create feelings of relatedness, leading to the development of feelings of mastery in the children, and then later in the school career culminate in autonomous literacy-acquisition behaviours. The article is concluded by suggestions to lecturers on how to enhance students’ feelings of competence through classroom interaction and classroom activities.
Peripheral Neuropathy and Pain Caused by Cancer Chemotherapy
Authors: Choi Kyomin , Oh Jeeyoung
Published: February 2021

Peripheral neuropathy and pain are common adverse effects of chemotherapy, which incidence are rising significantly commensurate with extension of survival period in cancer patients. Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy is caused by most commonly used chemotherapeutic agents including platinum compounds, taxenes, proteasome inhibitors, thalidomide, and vinca alkaloids. Management of neuropathy and pain caused by chemotherapy is still challenging due to there is no proven therapies and preventive methods. The pain and its impact are becoming a main deterioration factor in quality of life and economic burden in our society. We review the mechanism, clinical characteristics, updated evidence of possible management of neuropathy and pain caused by traditional chemotherapeutic agents for contributing to the application of clinicians in their actual medical environment.

The heart, accelerating two masses of blood, must submit to the laws of dynamics. The contraction causes a shortening of the heart, and blood expulsion causes a lowering of the organ by the third principle of dynamics. Since shortening equals lowering, cardiac activity is balanced. Therefore, people do not perceive cardiac contraction despite the intensity of the force developed. Left ventricular angiography allows measuring systolic aortic plane lowering, but the projective method alters some values. The most significant approximation concerns the longitudinal axes of the cavity. During diastole, ventricular anatomic axis and angiographic longitudinal axis coincide. No in systole because the cardiac apex remains stationary, whereas the angiographic axis shortens and rises. For this reason, a functional coincidence, we superimpose the end-diastolic and end-systolic longitudinal axes for calculations. Read Guidelines Finally, click "Calculations" on the strip menu.
A semiotic analysis of toponymy in classic Sundanese literary texts
Authors: Koswara Dedi , Hermawan Budi
Published: February 2021

This paper investigates classic Sundanese oral literary text Carita Pantun Sanghyang Jagatrasa (CPSJ) and the manuscript of Wawacan Sanghyang Jagatrasa (WSJ) in terms of (1) the transformation of CPJS from oral into written text, (2) the formal structure of CPJS as a narrative poem and the formal structure of WSJ. The investigation employs oral and written literary text approaches based on Propp (1975), and Lord (1976) to examine the texts. The analysis found that (1) structurally CPJS possesses eight formulas, 13 functions, and seven spheres of actions while WSJ possesses six actant models and three functional models, (2) the transformation of CPSJ from oral literary text to a written text lies on the literary conventions, narrative technique, expressions formula, vocabulary, and sentence constructions, (3) the appearance of universal toponymy and anthroponymy in CPSJ and WSJ can semiotically be perceived as a reflection of the existence of classic Sundanese mythology which links human life, animals, and the environment in a harmonious ecology. Semiotically, the transformation is understood as an effort to preserve the moral values contained in CPJS into WSJ relevant to the situation and condition of Sundanese people’s interest.
The representation of cultural values in Korean as a foreign language (KFL) textbook
Authors: Samsudin Didin , Ansas Velayeti Nurfitriana , Triarisanti Risa
Published: February 2021

The representation of cultural values in textbooks is crucial to be examined because learning a foreign language is bound with the culture. Although previous research has quite extensively investigated this issue, much is yet to be explored in the context of Korean as a foreign language learning. This study aims to address the gap by investigating how cultural values are represented in the Korean as a foreign language (KFL) textbook, published by The Korea Foundation for Indonesians. A critical discourse analysis (CDA) approach was employed to analyze the data. The findings exhibited the representation of cultural values in four language skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The introduction to the Korean language could be given through cultural recognition. Among the identified cultural values in the textbook, the representation of showing respect to creative products or the results of local culture was more evident than the other categories, followed by showing respect to cultural differences from various ethnic or religious groups and merging with nature and life. However, the representation category of showing respect to indigenous people’s culture was not seen in the textbook. This suggests that the textbook is intended to foster the students’ multicultural awareness in learning Korean as a foreign language.
The role of dialogic interaction in EFL writing assessment: A sociocultural perspective
Authors: Moradian Mahmood Reza , Miri Mowla , Alamdar Parvin
Published: February 2021

This study investigated EFL writing processes through collaborative assessment from a Vygotskian sociocultural perspective. This study focused on assessing essay writing of one intact group of Iranian EFL learners at the intermediate level of language proficiency (N = 15) based on the placement test administered at the institute. Both learners and their teacher assessed essays based on an analytic scale during seven sessions. Moreover, being engaged in collaborative dialogue, the learners were given the opportunity to discuss existing differences between their self-assessed scores and those assigned by the teacher in order to reach an agreed score. Moreover, all their dialogic interactions were audio-recorded for later transcription and micro-analysis.  Findings of the microgenetic analysis revealed that benefiting from the mediatory role of the collaborative dialogue and the checklist, the group under investigation gained insight into their capacities, weaknesses, and their metacognitive awareness was raised as the result of conducting CA. The findings suggested that learners took advantage of the collaborative dialogue in which they were engaged while assessing their writing tasks. In particular, the dialogic interaction afforded the learners the chance to present, discuss, and test their ideas and consequently enhance their awareness of the writing tasks. The collaborative assessment could help the learners gain a better insight into their strengths and weakness; further, it led to their metacognitive awareness about components of a good piece of writing.
A preference analysis and justification of Arabic written corrective feedback among instructors and undergraduates

Published: February 2021

There has been extensive discussion on the need to use corrective feedback in writing within foreign language learning. Essentially, corrective feedback is one of the important tools in improving students’ skills in learning a language. This study aims to find out the preference and justification of written corrective feedback (WCF) through the use of Google Docs among instructors and students in a higher learning institute. The effects of the direct and indirect feedback with metalinguistic comments were also studied to determine their suitability in teaching and learning the Arabic language. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected to (1) identify the preferred type of feedback among instructors and students, (2) identify justification of the preferred feedback type, and (3) examine post-test score differences between types of written correction feedback. Two questionnaires were adapted and distributed to 93 first-year students and four instructors of Arabic language for Academic Writing. Two instructors and five students were interviewed to find out their justification of the preferred types of WCF. A total of 50 respondents were divided into two groups according to the type of WCF provided, and post-test scores between the types of feedback were compared to determine if there was any significant difference between the types of feedback. The findings show that instructors prefer indirect WCF with metalinguistic comments while students prefer direct corrective feedback with metalinguistic comments.  Post-test scores indicate that higher scores were achieved by students who received indirect feedback with metalinguistic comments. This indicates that students are able to process indirect feedback that is supplemented with metalinguistic comments. Moreover, an online learning environment provides more opportunities for instructors to highlight the students’ errors more clearly.

Authors: Swatevacharkul Rosukhon , Boonma Nida
Published: February 2021

The objective of this study was to assess learner autonomy of English Language Teaching students in terms of technical, psychological, political-philosophical, and sociocultural dimensions. The 19 participants were in their first semester of MA ELT, which is an international program in an international university in Thailand.  Among them, there were 15 Chinese, three Burmese, and one Thai. This study employed the explanatory mixed-methods design. First, Measuring Instrument for Language Learner Autonomy (MILLA) questionnaire (Murase, 2015) was used to collect quantitative data (QUAN). Then, a semi-structured interview with five participants was carried out to gather follow-up qualitative data (QUAL). The findings revealed that, on average, the students demonstrated a high level of autonomy in all four dimensions. The thematic content analysis generated four themes concerning each autonomy dimension: 1) the use of metacognitive strategies through professional goal setting 2) the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation in support of autonomous learning, 3) the teacher as authority partner in a negotiable learning process, and 4) the preference for self-dependence and collaborative learning. The results of the study can be pedagogically contributive to programs similar to the study’s context with regards to learner autonomy awareness and learner autonomy development.
Investigating vocabulary coverage and load in an Indonesian EFL textbook series
Authors: Rahmat Yurieke Nadiya , Coxhead Averil
Published: February 2021

This article reports a corpus-based study of a series of Indonesian EFL textbooks for senior high school students from grades 10to 12 (16-18 years old), published by the Indonesian government. The textbooks were collected from the Indonesian bookkeeping information system and transferred into ready-to-analyse corpora using Range Programme (Heathley et al., 2002) to know the vocabulary load and what words are available for learning. The most significant finding in this study showed that the textbooks require 3,000-4,000 word families to reach 95% coverage with some help needed to comprehend the textbooks and 5,000-6,000 word families to gain 98% coverage which means the students can cope independently to read the textbooks. The textbooks contain a large amount of high-frequency words with more than 80% and up to 7% of Indonesian words which play roles in learning objectives and pre-vocabulary teaching activities. The results of this study suggest the vocabulary features and implications for learning, present the pedagogical implications for teachers and textbook writers, and provide a springboard for future research.

En este trabajo se realizó un análisis de la artroplastia de rodilla y de cadera con el fin de identificar los avances más recientes en estos tópicos, así como los retos y perspectivas futuras que se presentan tanto en el ámbito quirúrgico como en el desarrollo de los reemplazos articulares y sus materiales. México cuenta con una gran experiencia clínica en la colocación de prótesis para reemplazo articular de  rodilla, cadera, hombro, mano, y tobillo. Asimismo, la experiencia clínica en la colocación de implantes maxilo- y craneo-faciales es extensa. Sin embargo, el resultado del Simposio Nacional - Prótesis ortopédicas: Estatus actual en México (https://protesismexico.com/) mostró que hay una necesidad imperante de diseñar y fabricar implantes que se adapten a la población mexicana, buscando la personalización. Por su parte, en México, la investigación de los materiales para implantes ortopédicos se encuentran en un estado incipiente, pero con perspectivas muy prometedoras en diseño y manufactura aditiva de componentes personalizados, así como sistemas auto-lubricantes que prometen mejores resultados en comparación con sistemas actualmente ofertados en el mercado. El desarrollo de materiales como polímeros de alto peso molecular modificados con nanotubos de carbón o grafeno, así como superficies funcionalizadas con recubrimientos a base de carbón y compuestos tipo diamante, que presentan características auto-lubricantes, podrían incrementar la durabilidad de los implantes, mejorando la calidad de vida para los pacientes.

A series of experiments has been conducted and samples of complex coagulants have been obtained from the by-products of apatite-nepheline ore flotation (nepheline concentrate) and from refractory production waste — i. e. synthetic brucite. It was established that aqueous solutions of titanium tetrachloride can be used as an acid leaching reagent. The authors examined the process of recovering the principal active components with aqueous solutions of titanium tetrachloride and identified the priority mechanism behind leaching of metallic components with highly diluted aqueous solutions of titanium tetrachloride. The quantitative and qualitative composition of the obtained solutions of complex coagulants was analyzed. Modified magnesium coagulants were found to demonstrate high efficiency at high pH values of the treated water. At neutral pH values, complex aluminiumbearing reagents proved to be significantly more efficient than the conventional coagulants (i.e. aluminium sulphates and aluminium (oxy)chlorides). The obtained reagents were analyzed for their coagulation ability. Run-off and waste waters generated by an off gas purification unit in use at a non-ferrous metal casting site were used for the analysis. The analysis showed that, with the same dosage used, the modified aluminium coagulant is 30–35% more efficient than the conventional reagents. Experiments aimed at analyzing the water treatment efficiency in the case of water with high pH values (e.g. wastewater generated by a cement plant) showed that due to the use of inoculants in magnesium coagulants the water treatment efficiency can be increased by more than 20%. It was proved that the introduction of titanium compound hydrolysis products helps to significantly increase the water treatment efficiency irrespective of the principal component of the coagulant (aluminium or magnesium salt). This research was carried out as part of the funding programme aimed to support young research and teaching staff of D. Mendeleev University of Chemical Technology of Russia (Application: З-2020-013.).
Study of the kinetics of calcium molybdate leaching with sodium carbonate solutions

Published: February 2021

Calcium molybdate forms powellite, it is produced as a result of oxidizing roasting of off-grade molybdenum sulphide concentrates and other molybdenum materials with calcium additives (calcium oxides and hydro xides, calcium chlorides) in air at the temperatures of 550–600 oC. Use of Na2CO3 solutions enables an efficient recovery of Мо from CaMoO4 and a quantitative removal of impurities. To determine the optimum conditions for this process, one would need data on CaMoO4 leaching within a broad range of Na2CO3 concentrations and at high temperature and one would need to analyze the composition of the solid phase and the kinetic parameters of the process, i.e. rate and rate-controlling step. The authors look at the CaMoO4 leaching kinetics in 1.0–2.5 mol/l Na2CO3 solutions at 60–90 oC. It was found that the process rate is dictated by the stirring intensity and tends to increase with a rising temperature and the reagent concentration rising in the range of 1.0–1.5 mol/l. A higher concentration of Na2CO3 has no effect on the reaction rate. An apparent reaction order was determined in the Na2CO3 concentration range of 1.0–1.5 mol/l. An equation is proposed for calculating the CaMoO4 dissolution rate for the Na2CO3 solution and the temperature of 80 oC. It was established that a kinetic mode of leaching takes place in the soda concentration range of 1.0–1.5 mol/l amid intensive stirring. It is demonstrated that, within the studied Na2CO3 concentration range, calcite СаСО3 is formed after vaterite, a less stable phase of calcite, with crystallization of double sodium-calcium carbonates Na2Са(CO3)2·nH2O (n = 0, 2, 5) occurring at the same time. With the concentration of soda being >1.5 mol/l, the process is controlled by internal diffusion. In this region, the leaching rate is independent of the Na2CO3 concentration. Formation of double carbonates is associated with an additional consumption of soda. Therefore, when using this system one should consider how CaMoO4 typically dissolves in Na2CO3 solutions. The presence of these compounds in the soda solution after molybdenum leaching may impact the recovery of Мо from the solution using the known techniques. It may also hinder the recirculation of sodium carbonates going for the second leaching cycle.

This paper analyzes the thermodynamic and kinetic environment for calcium thermic production of rare metal and intermetallic powders and the status of this method among other thermal reduction methods. The discussion of thermodynamic processes focuses on gas phase equilibrium. A close consideration is given not only to binary metal-calcium systems but also to three- and multi-component systems. The role of such auxiliary substances as calcium hydride and calcium chloride is discussed. It is shown that, when the final product includes intermetallides of rare metals, calcium can even be used for the reduction of oxides of metals that are more sensitive to oxygen than calcium. There are cases when the presence of calcium chloride during reduction leads to a lower equilibrium content of oxygen in the reduced rare metal than during calcium reduction. The paper describes thermal reduction flow charts and the process equipment. This review is meant for Russian researchers and experts engaged in research and development of the calcium thermic techniques for powder metal and alloy production.

Published: February 2021

The purpose of this work is to analyse the current state of regulation of the supervisory boards of joint stock companies in Ukraine, in particular the features of their work on state-owned enterprises. A review of the practical aspects of regulating the activities of supervisory boards of joint stock companies in Ukraine is made. By applying analytical methods the provisions of regulations in the field of corporate law the latest changes in the legal status of supervisory boards of joint-stock companies are studied, and their applicability to state joint-stock companies is assessed. In addition, these changes are compared with the provisions of international standards in the field of corporate governance of state-owned enterprises, in particular the standards of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). The article deals, inter alia, with the concepts of "supervisory board", "state-owned enterprise", "fiduciary duties", as well as issues of transparency and integrity of the work of supervisory boards. In addition, the issues of the latest practice in the work of supervisory boards of state-owned joint stock companies and how the powers of the supervisory boards were exercised are considered. According to the results of the study, the current regulations are quite complex, inconsistent and contain internal contradictions, which, on the one hand, create risks for the effective exercise of powers by supervisory boards, and on the other hand, the risks of abuse by supervisory boards. The authors concluded that it is necessary to improve the legal framework governing the work of supervisory boards of state-owned joint-stock companies, generalize and unify practices on various issues of competence of supervisory boards, as well as provide certain criteria for compliance of supervisory board members with professional experience requirements in a particular field and with requirements of transparency about the absence of conflict of interest.

Published: February 2021

The purpose of this paper is to recommend non-discriminatory policies and practices regarding transgender individuals in the workplace. This paper will summarize workplace discrimination legal cases involving transgender individuals. Specifically, employers can be held financially responsible if they fire or discriminate against transgender individuals on the basis of gender identity and gender expression and can be required to use affirmed pronouns, revise policies, and provide training to employees regarding non-discrimination. Employers cannot discriminate against transgender individuals for transitioning, cannot prevent transgender individuals from using a particular bathroom or locker room, and cannot require employees to medically transition prior to gender identity recognition. Employers can be required to allow medical services related to transgender care. Finally, transgender individuals are a protected class under Title VII. This paper discusses the historical and current legal cases that prevent employment discrimination and proposes policies and practices. Recommendations for social workers include creating a sufficient non-discrimination policy, consulting with experts, becoming recognized on an equality index, educating others by not shaming them, and following the social work code of ethics.
Conspiração aquariana revisitada: correlações com as filosofias de Henri Bergson e William James
Authors: Medeiros Azize Maria Yared de
Published: February 2021

Analysis of the book The Aquarian Conspiracy by Marilyn Ferguson, which focuses on the origins of a New Age within western societies. Ferguson reviews aspects of the social movements that questioned the rational scientific paradigm leading to the birth of a consciousness revolution. After describing the confusion and crisis of belief and knowledge that occurs in post-modern societies, it is shown that Fergusons arguments points out that a rebirth of a new spirituality (based in the search for mystical experiences) is motivated by the idea that true knowledge comes from within the individual. There is a strong correlation between Fergusons assertion and the philosophical studies of Bergson and James in two primary ways: Intuition as a form of knowledge overcomes the limits of rationality and leads to the essence of what is being known, and faith is the result of the will to confirm what we have already anticipated as being real. Our conclusion presents the emergence of a real conspiracy as the foundation of a global spirituality capable of sustaining life on this planet promoted and supported by individuals.

Authors: Veras Roberto Peres
Published: February 2021

The main purpose of this study is to establish the relationship between Gestalt-therapy and Zen-Buddhism universes, based on a conceptual analysis for contributing to Gestalt-therapy theoretical development. Gestalt model has been adopted as investigation methodology using the creation and destruction figures (gestalten). Initially it was determined Perls as the start up reference or initial figure, due to his interest in Zen-Buddhism. The analysis of his collected works and auto-biography has defined his contact with Buddhism and, as consequence, its reverberation in Gestalt-therapy creation. Within Gestalt-therapy theoretical content, some concepts are related to Zen and others illustrate a close interaction, as the awareness flow/continuum awareness and meditation. Both Gestalt-therapy and Zen-Buddhism have been investigated on the human being conceptual analysis perspective, as well as self, I, here and now, temporality, addressing their similarities and differences. Situations captured from Gestalt-Therapy clinical practice, stories and Zen-Buddhism mondos have contributed for the understanding of concepts presented in this study. This relationship establishment has allowed the identification of main articulation structures between Gestalt-therapy and Zen-Buddhism, pointing out the fundamental topics that differentiate their identities
A (re)constituição da Psicologia Fenomenológica em Edmund Husserl
Authors: Goto Tommy Akira
Published: February 2021

The German philosopher Edmund Husserl (1859-1938), founding father of Phenomenology, was one of the most prominent thinkers of the 20th century, who not only influenced the philosophical trends of his time but also the sciences in general. Nevertheless, psychology was the science which strongly had direct influence of phenomenology which, in its turn, provided the possibility of developing a phenomenological psychology. The aim of this thesis is to (re)constitute, from a historical-critical point of view, the conception of phenomenological psychology in Husserls last work: The Crisis of European Sciences and the Transcendental Phenomenology (Die Krisis der europäischen Wissenchaften und die transzendentale Phänomenologie. Eine Einleitung in die phänomenologische Philosophie). At present, psychologists are developing a large number of versions of phenomenological psychology, particularly in Brazil; however, none of them have rigorously been based on Husserls concepts. Thus, in order to have an understanding of what constitutes to Husserl a phenomenological psychology, we present, to start with, a brief introduction to the transcendental phenomenology, explaining the variations of the phenomenological method (i. e. phenomenological levels). After that, we point out the most meaningful aspects of Husserls last piece of writing, concentrating our efforts on the revelation the philosopher makes concerning a crisis of the sciences and of reason, as well as his phenomenological criticism on epistemology of Psychology. At last, following Husserls analyses of phenomenology and psychology, we conclude that the conception of phenomenological psychology will constitute a universal science of human beings whose object of study is the animistic being. This science will have basic functions such as: a) the rebuilding of the scientific psychology and the explanation of the psychological concepts; b) the constitution of a universal science of the psychic; c) the description of the intentional experiences and d) be a propaedeutic discipline for the transcendental phenomenology. For Husserl, the authentic and genuine conception of the phenomenological psychology is important to the psychologists since that it is through the development of this discipline that they will recover the subjectivity as the original source of human life and its correlation with the world-life.

This work took as its starting point the debate on social inclusion versus prejudice, which also binds disability to inability. Disabled children's parents also suffer from discrimination headed to their children, they blame themselves for its birth and they get covered with physical and emotional responsibilities. Aiming to create, through art, an area of ressignification of the parents' feelings, due to the birth of that disabled child, and also the possibility of assisting them in understanding and reflection of their role with their children, this study was conducted using up Creativity Workshop techniques. This was conducted with the disabled children's p
Reflexões sobre a relação psicoterapêutica: diálogos com Merleau-Ponty
Authors: FREITAS Joanneliese de Lucas
Published: February 2021

The present article has the objective of examining how we can understand the therapeutic relationship from the dialogue with the Merleau-Ponty's concept of other. The human interaction and communication in the psychotherapeutic contexts are discussed utilizing the understanding of psychotherapeutic relationship in Gestalt-therapy. The subject of dialog and the encounter are raised from the paradox I-other as well as the understanding of corporeity as part of the man-world field. The article presents the idea that in a therapeutic relationship both psychotherapist and client must encounter with each other in their differences. That being said, the therapeutic stance implies a non-stop search for the comprehension and the availability of the other so that the client may come to grasp himself through the differences that emerges at the therapist-client field. The psychotherapist must act on the field of the relationship and, therefore, operate as an opening between the client and the world as an effort to reach the lived-experience of his client.
Interrelação filosófico-literária do pensamento de Sartre: bases para uma psicologia fenomenológica do eu

While publishing his first philosophical texts, Jean Paul Sartre also initiates his career as a fictionist.Moving across a multiplicity of discourses, Sartre's thoughts find sound expression on the interfaces between philosophy and literature, forging a communicating neighbo r hood, in Franklin Leopoldo e Silva's terms. As a consequence, a kind of internal link between the philosophical narrative (technical and conceptual) and the literary narrative (aesthetic) allows for a full and rich comprehension of Sartre's writings. It's under the light of this understanding that we set out to explore the short story The childhood of a leader, 1939, one of Sartre's first literary texts, produced while he was working on the possible grounds for a Phenomenological Psychology. The story portrays the life of Lucien Fleurier from his early days as a child through a number of stages and situations in which he tries to redefine his existencial project. This way, Sartre weaves between the lines of his narrative several of the notions comprising that process, which end up settling the grounds for a phenomenological theory of the self, in keeping with his philosophical work entitled The transcendence of the ego. Therefore our work aims at using that literary text to support the study of a phenomenological theory of the self, as outlined by Sartre in both philosophical and literary fronts. Based on the intentionality of the consciousness the philosopher criticizes the formal and substantial notions of the self generally accepted by philosophy and psychology in his days, still persisting to date. Such understandings obliterate the way of being of the human condition, characterized by freedom, expressed by the distress our character Fleurier experiences trying his most to escape his inconsistency of being.
Entre a Fenomenologia e a Hermenêutica: uma perspectiva em psicoterapia
Authors: FERREIRA Luciana da Silva Mendes
Published: February 2021

There have been frequent discussions among Psychology researchers on how Phenomenology and Hermeneutics relate with their clinical practice. Such discussion heralds a concern with establishing more adequate methods for the approximation of phenomena that are not fully objectifiable in a naturalistic sense. Among the possibilities for such methods is a proposal, of Heideggerian inspiration, for conciliating both approaches - Phenomenology and Hermeneutics - into a single pathway. However, this attempt at conciliation is not feasible without profound transformations as to what concerns Husserl's Phenomenology itself. Once the individual's existence is clarified as a Being-in-the-World, the idea of a subjectivity that relates to an external dimension, as well as the concepts of interiority, psyche or even conscience or intentionality fall into pieces. It is in this context that Phenomenology becomes Hermeneutics and its method then becomes grounded on the "hermeneutic circle" which states that we always possess some form of previous understanding of that which we wish to comprehend.
Considerações sobre o inconsciente: mito, símbolo e arquétipo na psicologia analítica
Authors: SERBENA Carlos Augusto
Published: February 2021

This article conducts a theoretical discussion between C. G. Jung and other authors to relate and clarify aspects of the concepts of myth, symbol and archetype. On the concept of collective unconscious and archetype of the work of Jung, shows both forms of operation of the psyche: rational and causal to the ego and imaginal and analogic to the unconscious. Thus, the archetypes can be considered as categories of the imagination and are expressed in symbolic form, requiring a comprehensive, qualitative and acting role of mediation between the opposing dynamics through a redundant and repetitive, but improved. This dynamic appears in the ritual, the repetition behavioral level, and in myths, than are a symbolically narrative that mark the beginning of the process of rationalization of symbols. If this process is deepening, becomes the symbol sign and loses its experiential nature and ability to mediate conflicts. The excessive exploitation of rationality in modern thought leads to ignore the sign and thus the person loses the ability to mediate the conflicts experienced in its existence as between himself and the world, feeling their lives empty and meaningless.
