Authors: Zhang Xiuyu , Li You , Dai Meixue , Si Hongli , Zhao Guoyan , Kolařík Miroslav , Hulcr Jiri , Jiang Xiaoqian , Chang Runlei
Published: May 2021

Fungi of the genus Geosmithia are frequently associated with bark beetles that feed on phloem on various woody hosts. Most studies on Geosmithia were carried out in North and South America and Europe, with only two species were reported from Taiwan, China. The aim of this study was to investigate the diversity of Geosmithia species in southern China. Field surveys in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Jiangxi and Shanghai yielded a total of 76 fungal isolates from six beetle species. Isolates were grouped based on morphology. The ITS, β-tubulin and elongation factor 1-α gene regions of representatives of each group were sequenced. Phylogenetic trees were constructed based on those sequences. In total five species were identified, with one previously described species G. putterillii and four new species which were described as G. jiulianshanensis, G. jiangxiensis, G. formosana, and G. pulverea (Geosmithia sp. 3 and Geosmithia sp. 23) sp. nov., in this paper.

A dél-koreai közvetlen külföldi befektetések motivációi a V4 országok autó- és elektronikai iparában
Authors: Völgyi Katalin
Published: May 2021

Dél-Korea a világ egyik legjelentősebb tőkekibocsátó országa. A dél-koreai vállalatok közvetlen külföldi befektetéseinek állománya – különösen 2006-tól kezdve – rendkívül gyors ütemben nő. 1990 és 2018 között a dél-koreai vállalatok közvetlen külföldi befektetéseinek 16,7 százaléka az EU-ba irányult, amelynek közel tíz százaléka a V4 országokat célozta meg. A V4 országokban a dél-koreai befektetések elsősorban az autóiparban és az elektronikai iparban koncentrálódnak. A tanulmány e két iparághoz köthető befektetések motivációit és a befogadó országok húzó tényezőit vizsgálja. Az eredmények azt mutatják, hogy a motivációk alapján piac- és hatékonyságkereső befektetésekről beszélhetünk. A V4 országok legfontosabb húzó tényezői pedig a következők: szabad hozzáférés az európai uniós piachoz, relatíve olcsó termelési bázis, képzett munkaerő, kormányzati ösztönzők, relatíve fejlett infrastruktúra, az EU antidömping intézkedései, és az alkatrészgyártók jelentős anyaországbeli vásárlóinak jelenléte.

Cryptosporidium is increasingly gaining attention as a human and an animal pathogen mainly due to its dominant involvement in worldwide waterborne outbreaks. The present paper reviews the current knowledge and understanding of Cryptosporidium spp. in terrestrial and water animals in Azerbaijan.
Microbial faecal pollution of river water in a watershed of tropical Ethiopian highlands is driven by diffuse pollution sources
Authors: Mushi Douglas , Kebede Geda , Linke Rita B. , Lakew Aschalew , Hayes Daniel S. , Graf Wolfram , Farnleitner Andreas H.
Published: May 2021

Tropical communities in the developing world depend heavily on riverine systems for their socioeconomic development. However, these resources are poorly protected from diffuse pollution, and there is a lack of quantitative information regarding the microbial pollution characteristics of riverine water, despite frequently reported gastrointestinal diseases. The aim of our study was to apply faecal taxation (i.e., faecal pellet counting in representative test areas to estimate the potential availability of diffuse pollution sources) in combination with a detailed microbiological faecal pollution analysis in a riverine environment to elucidate the importance of diffuse pollution. To realize this approach, ambient faecal pellets, a multiparametric data set for standard faecal indicator bacteria (SFIB), including Escherichia coli, Clostridium perfringens spores and enterococci from catchment soil and river water, and a number of riverine water physicochemical variables were analysed during a one-year cycle. We demonstrated that the abundance of ambient faecal pellets, which were consistently counted at reference sites in the catchment, was associated with faecal pollution in the river water. Water SFIB, dissolved oxygen, nutrients, conductivity and total suspended solids were strongly linked with the abundance of ambient faecal pellets in the river catchment, as demonstrated by principal component analysis (PCA). Elevated concentrations of SFIB in the riverine water in the absence of rainfall also suggested the direct input of faecal bacteria into the riverine water by livestock (e.g., during watering) and humans (e.g., during bathing). Statistical analyses further revealed that the microbiological water quality of the investigated riverine water was not influenced by SFIB potentially occurring in the soil. This study demonstrates the importance of diffuse faecal pollution sources as major drivers of the microbiological quality of riverine water in the Ethiopian highlands. In addition, the new successfully applied integrated approach could be very useful for developing predictive models, which would aid in forecasting riverine microbiological quality in tropical developing countries.
Пастырское служении для разведённых в „Amoris Laetitia”
Authors: Basystyi Pavlo
Published: May 2021

In this article, the author tried to present the topic of the pastoral ministry concept’s development for people living without Holy Matrimony by the example of the previous Code of Canon Law of 1917 and New Code of Canon Law of 1983. Influence on changing the situation of those living in a civil marriage or divorced and remarried poste-synodal Apostolic Exhortations „Familiaris Consortio” of 1981 and „Amoris Laetitia” of 2016. According to the author, the opportunity to join the Sacraments of the Church, prescribed in the last post-synodal Apostolic Exhortation are primarily a consequence of the evolutionary process rather than revolutionary innovations, although there are many different points of view on this topic. That is why the exhortation „Amoris Laetitia” talks about accompanying, discerning and integrating weakness, but in confidentiality. The important things, according to the author, are letters from individual bishops or Episcopal Conferences that have supported the Holy Father and have already taken advantage of the prescribed opportunities helping their parishioners to return to the church community and become actively involved in its life.
Poważny brak rozeznania oceniającego (kan. 1095, n. 2 KPK) w wyroku Roty Rzymskiej c. Salvatori z 7 maja 2020 roku
Authors: Góralski Wojciech
Published: May 2021

The negative sentence c. Salvatori in the case under the gravis defectus discretionis iudicii (can. 1095, n. 2 CIC) on both sides, taken in the second instance, when the first ruled positively in relation to both parties, is an example of a reliable assessment of the collected material evidence.

In the sentence, quite a lot of space was devoted to the role and tasks of an expert in the cases of can. 1095, n. 1-3 CIC. It is worth emphasizing here that an opinion prepared solely on the basis of the case file is not a true expert opinion. Salvatori pointed to the practice developed in rotational jurisprudence, according to which a judge should reject an expert’s conclusions when they do not comply with the case files or violate the rules of logic or go beyond the premises on which they are based, or when they are inconsistent with Christian anthropology.

Ponens convincingly demonstrated the groundlessness of prof. D. (with respect to the woman) grossly inconsistent with the case files and going far beyond the premises that served him to formulate such a thesis.

Authors: Ganji Ali , Farahani Iman , Saeedifar Amir Mohammad , Mosayebi Ghasem , Ghazavi Ali , Majeed Muhammed , Jamialahmadi Tannaz , Sahebkar Amirhossein
Published: May 2021

Background:

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a Gram-negative bacterial cell wall
component, evokes intensive inflammatory responses in the human body. Naturally, inflammation
is a part of the host immune response to an infection; nonetheless, an exaggerated
response can lead to a series of pathophysiological consequences, collectively
known as LPS toxicity or septic shock.

Objective:

This review will explore the cellular and experimental investigations that
mainly focus on Curcumin's therapeutic effects on the LPS-mediated inflammatory responses.

Method:

A literature review of all relevant studies was performed.

Conclusion:

Curcumin has been reported to exert anti-inflammatory properties by interfering
with LPS-induced inflammatory pathways, including binding to cell surface receptors
of LPS, NF-kB activation pathway, and inflammasome activation. Further clinical
studies on the effect of Curcumin in reducing the pathophysiological consequences of
LPS toxicity would substantiate the use of this molecule for future therapeutic approaches.

Published: May 2021

Inherited beta-thalassemia is caused by irregular production of hemoglobin through reducing beta-globin chains. It has been observed that increasing fetal hemoglobin (HbF) production improves symptoms in the patients; thus, it has been an operative approach to treat patients with betathalassemia. This review represents compounds with biological activities and pharmacological properties that can be useful in promoting the HBF level in β-thalassemia patients. Various natural products with different mechanisms of action can be helpful in this medication cure. Clinical trials were efficient in improving the signs of patients. Association of in vivo, and in vitro studies of HbF induction and γ-globin mRNA growth displays that in vitro experiments could be an indicator of the in vivo response. The current study resulted that; (a) HbF inducers can be grouped into several classes based on their chemical structures and mechanism of actions; (b) According to several clinical trials, wellknown drugs such as hydroxyurea and decitabine are useful HbF inducers. (c) The cellular biosensor K562 carrying genes under the control of the human γ-globin and β-globin gene promoters were applied during the researches. (d) New natural products and lead compounds were found based on various studies as HbF inducers.

Integrated Molecular Hybrid Molecules as Potential Anticancer
Agents
Authors: Luthra Pratibha Mehta , Kumar Nitin
Published: May 2021

The carbazole skeleton, a key structural motif occurring naturally or chemically synthesized,
showed various biological activities. Molecular hybridization based on the combination of two
or more bioactive pharmacophores has been an important tool to convert the potent structural leads to
form new hybrid compounds with improved biological activity. In recent years, modifications/
substitutions of the carbazole motif at C-3, C-6, and N-9 positions have been carried to develop
novel carbazole-based potential anticancer agents in the therapy of cancer. In the last fifteen years,
several compounds based on carbazole core integrated into pharmacologically active molecular hybrid
having active pharmacophore such as1,3,4-thiadiazole, thiazole, guanidine, sulfonamides, glyoxamides,
imidazoles, phenanthrenes, rhodamines, chalcones, imidazopyridine, platinum, 2-H-chromen-
2-one, hydrazones, piperazines, isoxazole-thiadiazole, pyrazoles, etc. have been synthesized showing
anticancer profile at sub-micromolar to nano-molar concentrations. We have thoroughly reviewed the
design, progress, and development of C-3, C-6, and N-9 positions substituted carbazole derivatives
integrated with various medicinally active pharmacophore as potential anticancer agents evaluated
against various cancer cell lines. Additionally, the anticancer mechanism and in vivo activity of the
reported compounds have been discussed. This study will support in designing of new pharmacophore
that can be linked to the carbazole motif for the development of new, potent, and target-specific anticancer
drugs with improved pharmacokinetics and minimal side effects.
Development of Allosteric Modulators of Voltage-Gated Na+ Channels: A Novel Approach for an Old Target
Authors: Dvorak Nolan M. , Wadsworth Paul A. , Wang Pingyuan , Zhou Jia , Laezza Fernanda
Published: May 2021

Given their primacy in governing the action potential (AP) of excitable cells, voltage-gated
Na+ (Nav) channels are important pharmacological targets of therapeutics for a diverse array of
clinical indications. Despite historically being a traditional drug target, therapeutics targeting Nav
channels lack isoform selectivity, giving rise to off-target side effects. To develop isoform-selective
modulators of Nav channels with improved target-specificity, the identification and pharmacological
targeting of allosteric sites that display structural divergence among Nav channel isoforms
represents an attractive approach. Despite the high homology among Nav channel α subunit isoforms
(Nav1.1-Nav1.9), there is considerable amino acid sequence divergence among their constituent
C-terminal domains (CTD), which enables structurally and functionally specific protein:
protein interactions (PPI) with auxiliary proteins. Although pharmacological targeting of such PPI
interfaces between the CTDs of Nav channels and auxiliary proteins represents an innovate approach
for developing isoform-selective modulators of Nav channels, appreciable modulation of
PPIs using small molecules has conventionally been difficult to achieve. After briefly discussing
the challenges of modulating PPIs using small molecules, this current frontier review that follows
subsequently expounds on approaches for circumventing such difficulties in the context of developing
small molecule modulators of PPIs between transmembrane ion channels and their auxiliary
proteins. In addition to broadly discussing such approaches, the implementation of such approaches
is specifically discussed in the context of developing small molecule modulators between the CTD
of Nav channels and auxiliary proteins. Developing allosteric modulators of ion channels by targeting
their PPI interfaces with auxiliary proteins represents an innovative and promising strategy in
ion channel drug discovery that could expand the “druggable genome” and usher in first-in-class
PPI-targeting therapeutics for a multitude of channelopathies.
Pituitary Volume in Patients with Primary Empty Sella and Clinical Relevance to Pituitary Hormone Secretion: A Retrospective Single Center Study
Authors: Akkus Gamze , Sözütok Sinan , Odabaş Fulya , Onan Bilen , Evran Mehtap , Karagun Barış , Sert Murat , Tetiker Tamer
Published: May 2021

Background:

According to neuroradiological findings, empty sella seems to be deprived
of pituitary tissue in sella turcica. Changing size of the pituitary volume is closely related to the occurrence
of primary empty sella. The aim of the study is to determine pituitary dysfunction in patients
with partial or total primary empty sella and the significance of pituitary volume measurements
in these patients.

Methods:

This study was designed retrospectively. 67 patients (55 females, 12 males) diagnosed
with primary empty sella syndrome between the years of 2015-2019 were included in the study. Patients
were divided into two groups: partial (PES) and total (TES) empty sella by magnetic resonance
imaging (MRI). Basal anterior pituitary and its hormones were assessed. We also included
26 healthy control subjects (19 females, 7 males) to compare the differences in pituitary volumes.
Volumes were measured by using Osirix Dicom Viewer (Pixmeo SARL, Geneve, Swiss) in 3.0
Tesla scanner MRI.

Results:

82.1% (n=55) of all patients were PES and the others were (n=12) TES. Hypopituitarism,
known as one or more pituitary hormones deficiency, was found in 12 patients (17.9%). While 9 of
them had total PES, the others had partial PES. Secondary adrenal insufficiency and gonadotropin
deficiency were more prevalent in patients with TES. Mean volume measurements of patients with
TES, PES and healthy subjects were 0.23±0.17, 0.35±0.15, 0.54±0.17 cm3, respectively. Except for
IGF1 values (p=0.026), there was not any significant correlation found between the anterior pituitary
hormones and volume measurements.

Conclusion:

Although volume measurement has helped in the diagnosis of pituitary empty sella
(partial or total), it does not seem to have any significant correlation with pituitary secretory function.

Authors: Chen Lei , Jiang Ting , Zheng Guifang , Yao Gang , Wang Lei , Yang Yuanjun , Zheng Haiwu , Jiang Yang , Lu Yingwei , Wei Shizhong
Published: May 2021

Background:

Great achievements have been made in improving the power conversion efficiencies
of solar cells. However, the price of photovoltaic (PV)-generated electricity still cannot compete
with that of conventionally generated power. Thus, novel solar cells made from non-toxic, earth-abundant,
and chemically stable materials are desirable to decrease the costs of PV electricity generation.

Objective:

All-oxide solar cells are a promising next-generation PV technology, fulfilling the requirement
of low-cost manufacturing under ambient conditions. This work aims to search for nontoxic,
earth-abundant, and chemically stable narrow-bandgap semiconductors for energy applications
like all-oxide solar cells.

Methods:

This work examines a family of perovskite rare-earth (i.e., Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb,
Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb) orthoferrites with XRD analysis, SEM, photoresponse, absorption spectra, Xray
photoelectron spectroscopy, fluorescence spectra measured with the laser Raman spectrometer,
valence band spectra, the Kelvin probe, the Hall Effect experiment, and theoretical calculation on
band structure and the density of states, to screen for the narrow-bandgap semiconductors.

Results:

The novel Pb-free perovskite narrow-bandgap absorbers, CeFeO3, PrFeO3, TbFeO3,
DyFeO3, HoFeO3, and YbFeO3, which are earth-abundant and non-toxic, were screened out potentially
for use in all-oxide solar cells or other photovoltaic and optoelectronic applications. Among
them, YbFeO3 is approved, having an indirect bandgap of approximately 1.0 eV with a maximum
Shockley-Queisser efficiency of 31% for single p-n junction solar cells.

Conclusion:

The chemically stable, non-toxic, earth-abundant, and narrow-bandgap semiconductors
of rare-earth orthoferrites promisingly serve as absorbers, photocatalysts, photoelectrodes, photodetectors,
and photoelectronic materials. This work breaks new ground in the search for narrow
bandgap all-oxide semiconductors potential for energy applications.
Спектроскопия барьерного разряда низкого давления. Послесвечение с ионами Ne-=SUP=-2+-=/SUP=-, Ne-=SUP=-+-=/SUP=- и Ne-=SUP=-2+-=/SUP=-
Authors: Иванов В.А.
Published: May 2021

We present the results of modeling the radiation of a decaying plasma, formed by the processes of electron-ion recombination with the participation of three neon ions: the molecular ion Ne2+ and atomic ions Ne+ and Ne2+. Such a combination of ions, simultaneously participating in the formation of the plasma spectrum, was first discovered in the afterglow of a pulsed barrier discharge of a cylindrical geometry at neon pressures less than 1 Torr and an electron density[e] ≤ 4 × 1010 cm-3. The main attention is paid to the comparative analysis of the mechanisms of impact-radiation recombination of Ne+ and Ne2+ ions based on the numerical solution of the system of differential equations for the densities of ions and long-lived excited atoms in the afterglow, taking into account the main elementary processes in decaying plasma with pulsed "heating" of electrons. The regularities of electron temperature relaxation from discharge values of several electron volts to 300 K in the late afterglow are considered in particular details. Comparison of the model solutions with the spectral intensities measured by the multichannel photon counting method shows that, given their good agreement in the case of singly charged ions, an adequate description of the evolution of ionic lines requires expanding the available information on the recombination of Ne2+ ions.

A model is proposed for calculating the intensity of the second harmonic (SH) when light is reflected from a monolayer consisting of a dielectric core and a plasmon shell of spherical nanoparticles located near the interface of two optically transparent media. The nonlinear polarization of the interface created by nanoparticles, which is the source of SH, is calculated. An increase in the intensity of the reflected SH caused by dipole and quadrupole plasmon resonances in nanoparticles was found. It is shown that the spectral positions of the SH intensity maxima depend significantly on the particle core size and its dielectric permittivity
A Content Analysis of Smartphone Applications for Rehabilitation in The Digital Health Marketplace : A Cross-sectional Review (Preprint)
Authors: Jang Chan Woong , Bang Myeong Hwan , Yoo Myungeun
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

In the field of physical medicine and rehabilitation, experts have mentioned the role and importance of mHealth systems. Through the recent coronavirus disease nineteen (COVID-19) pandemic, the use of mHealth systems has become more emphasized by the term “telerehabilitation.” Thus, mHealth applications relevant to rehabilitation are continuously being developed and proven effective to rehabilitation through researches. However, there is a discrepancy between the applications studied in the articles and those commercially available in the marketplace.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of our study was to check the status of rehabilitation-related applications with mobile health (mHealth) systems in the digital health marketplace.

METHODS

A total of 444 applications for both Android and iOS were searched using the keyword “rehabilitation” on November 1st, 2020. After applying the exclusion criteria, 172 applications were analyzed. The applications were categorized into two groups: mHealth and others. The mHealth applications had the ability to facilitate communication between a patient and a clinician using a mobile phone or tablet. User interaction metrics (number of downloads, number of reviews, quality rating, date of last update, usage fees) and contents of the application (primary theme, treatment focus, how to provide information, target) were then extracted from the store description and screenshots. If additional information was needed, the applications were downloaded and analyzed. The Mann–Whitney and chi-square tests were used to compare continuous variables and the differences in percentages, respectively.

RESULTS

Considering functionality, 39 (22.7%) of 172 applications were classified in the mHealth and 133 (77.3%) in the other group. Considering the user interaction metrics, neither group had significantly more reviews, higher ratings, or more free applications. As for the application contents, over half of the mHealth applications were related to musculoskeletal rehabilitation and provided mainly physical therapy. Relatively many applications from the mHealth group used visual information. Functional features of this group showed that most applications enabled two-way communication through messages and progress checking. A small number of applications provided the pain survey function, appointment of next visit treatment, nutritional advice, and connection to other devices.

CONCLUSIONS

Rehabilitation-related applications with mHealth systems are limited in specific areas. Thus, it is necessary to develop and commercialize applications to provide various treatments for various diseases with improved interactive features.
Improvement and Evaluation of the TOPCOP Taxonomy of Patient Portals: Taxonomy-Evaluation-Delphi (TED) Approach (Preprint)
Authors: Glöggler Michael , Ammenwerth Elske
Published: May 2021

BACKGROUND

Patient portals have been introduced in many countries over the last 10 years, but many health information managers still feel they have too little knowledge of patient portals. A taxonomy can help them to better compare and select portals. This has led us to develop the TOPCOP taxonomy for classifying and comparing patient portals. However, the taxonomy has not been evaluated by users.

OBJECTIVE

This study aimed to evaluate the taxonomy’s usefulness to support health information managers in comparing, classifying, defining a requirement profile for, and selecting patient portals and to improve the taxonomy where needed.

METHODS

We used a modified Delphi approach. We sampled a heterogeneous panel of 13 health information managers from 3 countries using the criterion sampling strategy. We conducted 4 anonymous survey rounds with qualitative and quantitative questions. In round 1, the panelists assessed the appropriateness of each dimension, and we collected new ideas to improve the dimensions. In rounds 2 and 3, the panelists iteratively evaluated the taxonomy that was revised based on round 1. In round 4, the panelists assessed the need for a taxonomy and the appropriateness of patient engagement as a distinguishing concept. Then, they compared 2 real portals with the final taxonomy and evaluated its usefulness for comparing portals, creating an initial requirement profile, and selecting patient portals. To determine group consensus, we applied the RAND/UCLA Appropriateness Method.

RESULTS

The final taxonomy consists of 25 dimensions with 65 characteristics. Five new dimensions were added to the original taxonomy, with 8 characteristics added to already existing dimensions. Group consensus was achieved on the need for such a taxonomy to compare portals, on patient engagement as an appropriate distinguishing concept, and on the comprehensibility of the taxonomy’s form. Further, consensus was achieved on the taxonomy’s usefulness for classifying and comparing portals, assisting users in better understanding portals, creating a requirement profile, and selecting portals. This allowed us to test the usefulness of the final taxonomy with the intended users.

CONCLUSIONS

The TOPCOP taxonomy aims to support health information managers in comparing and selecting patient portals. By providing a standardized terminology to describe various aspects of patient portals independent of clinical setting or country, the taxonomy will also be useful for advancing research and evaluation of patient portals.
Healthcare utilization among children with early autism diagnoses, children with other developmental delays and a comparison group
Authors: Hand Brittany N , Miller Judith S , Guthrie Whitney , Friedlaender Eron Y
Published: May 2021

Aim:
To describe healthcare utilization patterns among children with autism (n = 1821), and compare these patterns to children with other developmental delays (DD; n = 12,336) and a population comparison (PC; n = 18,210) cohort.
Materials & methods:
Retrospective study of administrative billing data.
Results:
Children with autism had roughly six-times more annual outpatient visits as PC children and twice as many as children with DD. Children with autism were more likely than PC children to use nearly all services, but comparisons between the autism and DD cohorts were mixed. Children with autism were more likely to have psychiatry/psychology visits, ‘other’ specialty care visits and psychotropic prescriptions, but less likely to have pediatric specialty care visits, immunizations and some prescriptions.
Conclusion:
Findings reveal opportunities to streamline, coordinate or improve care for young children with autism, particularly for outpatient services, and to give caregivers appropriate anticipatory guidance about what to expect after an autism diagnosis.

Прогресс человечества в области производства неминуемо приводит к пониманию того, что лучшим учителем является Природа. Пройдя путь от варварского, губительного для природы и климата низшего технологического уклада, увидев и ощутив его последствия, пережив ряд катастроф, почувствовав угрозы самого существования нашей планеты и человечества как такового, мы постепенно приходим к осознанию необходимости перехода к природоподобным технологиям, тщательному и выверенному пониманию последствий создания новых производств. Доктор технических наук, профессор, заслуженный деятель науки Российской Федерации, эксперт ЮНЕСКО и вице-президент Нанотехнологического общества России Герман Евсеевич Кричевский размышляет о будущем образования, науки и промышленности на базе развития своей концепции о нано, био, инфо, когно и социотехнологиях, делится воспоминаниями и рассказывает о своих научных исследованиях и опыте внедрения новых технологий.
Preparing teachers for emotional labour: The missing piece in teacher education
Authors: Molyneux Tonje
Published: May 2021

A quality education for all children and youth is required for the continued advancement of modern civilization. But this outcome is threatened by a growing international teacher shortage. Increased rates of teacher attrition and reduced rates of enrollment in teacher education programs are driving this shortage; however, research suggests that teacher candidates’ lack of preparation for the emotional labour of teaching is another important contributing factor, one which can be addressed in teacher education programs. The aim of this paper is to explore this problem and surface potential solutions. First, the social historical context of teaching is explored as an entry point to inquiry into this topic. Next, through discussion of the emotional nature of teaching, the thesis that teacher candidates must be prepared to handle the emotional labour of teaching during their teacher education program is advanced. Then, a review of the literature surfaces three key content areas which if addressed during teacher preparation can help prepare teacher candidates to handle the emotional labour of teaching: identity development, emotions and teaching, and social-emotional competence. Finally, these components are included in a theory of change for a new program that could be integrated into existing teacher education programs.

Tese-ficção: por que não fazê-la?
Authors: Pimentel Antonio Marcos Gonçalves
Published: May 2021

A produção de obras literárias como projetos de doutoramento na área de Letras é, ainda hoje, considerada um tabu. Muito se discute sobre sua relevância teórica ou sobre os parâmetros que poderiam ser usados para a sua arguição, por se tratar de uma avaliação, a princípio, subjetiva. Ou seja, como julgar cientificamente uma obra de ficção? Neste trabalho, pretendemos mostrar que é possível produzi-la, argui-la e defendê-la.

MAIS REALISTAS DO QUE O REI: O NORMATIVISMO IRREAL DOS LIVROS DIDÁTICOS DE PORTUGUÊS
Authors: Bagno Marcos
Published: May 2021

Apesar dos muitos avanços no ensino de língua materna no Brasil nos últimos anos, o tratamento dado pelos livros didáticos de português aos conhecimentos linguísticos ainda se vincula a uma pedagogia de transmissão acrítica das prescrições normativas tradicionais. A partir de uma análise de 24 coleções desses livros, evidencia-se o hipernormativismo dessas obras, mais estrito do que o da própria tradição normativa.

ANAPHORIC ENCAPSULATION AND PRESUPPOSITION: PERSUASIVE AND STEREOTYPICAL USES OF A COHESIVE STRATEGY
Authors: Pecorari Filippo
Published: May 2021

This paper focuses on the presuppositional values of anaphoric encapsulation. We highlight that presupposition is a basic feature of argumentative and persuasive uses of this cohesive strategy, but may also apply to stereotypical instances, where evaluation does not coincide with persuasion. Finally, we analyse examples where a higher-order definite noun phrase does not presuppose the existence of a discourse referent.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------ENCAPSULAMENTO ANAFÓRICO E PRESSUPOSIÇÃO: USOS PERSUASIVOS E ESTEREOTIPADOS DE UMA ESTRATÉGIA DE COESÃOEste artigo analisa os valores pressuposicionais do encapsulamento anafórico. A pressuposição é uma característica básica dos usos argumentativos e persuasivos desta estratégia de coesão, mas também pode se aplicar a instâncias estereotipadas, onde a avaliação não coincide com a persuasão. Finalmente, analisamos exemplos onde sintagmas nominais definidos de ordem superior não pressupõem a existência de um referente do discurso.---Artigo em inglês.

LUÍS DE CAMÕES NAS ENCRUZILHADAS DE UMA ANTROPOFAGIA LUSA
Authors: Braz Paulo
Published: May 2021

É sabido que a noção de antropofagia, em matéria de cultura, em muito ultrapassa a questão modernista brasileira e o contexto literário em que produziu Oswald de Andrade. A lição antropofágica atinge uma dimensão trans-histórica que em muito nos auxilia a compreender o conceito de contemporaneidade, assim como o formula Giorgio Agamben. Assim, este trabalho busca assinalar a contemporaneidade da obra camoniana por meio da deglutição antropofágica do monumento que (apesar) dele foi feito – engendrado por poetas portugueses dos séculos XX e XXI, nomeadamente Jorge de Sena e Manuel de Freitas –, a qual enseja uma leitura de Camões enquanto poeta.

SOCIOLINGUÍSTICA NA SALA DE AULA: RELAÇÕES COM O ENSINO/APRENDIZAGEM DE LÍNGUA MATERNA
Authors: Lima Thábata Christina Gomes de
Published: May 2021

A Sociolinguística trouxe consigo a importância de concebermos as línguas como heterogêneas, como atividades sociais, e de percebermos que a variação é um fenômeno inerente a elas. Com isso, novas concepções teóricas e metodológicas relacionadas ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem de língua materna começaram a surgir. Neste artigo, refletiremos sobre como esta corrente teórica pode influenciar nas práticas docentes.
