Published: February 2023

RESUMO A linfadenectomia axilar é um procedimento cirúrgico padrão para tratamento de tumores de pele e partes moles no estádio III e usualmente é realizada sob anestesia geral. A presente serie de casos prospectiva tem por objetivo investigar a viabilidade da realização da linfadenectomia axilar com o uso do bloqueio do plano do músculo serrátil anterior associado a sedação endovenosa. Foram incluídos 15 pacientes no estudo. Os participantes foram recrutados e avaliados durante consulta pré-anestésica ambulatorial, acompanhados durante o dia da cirurgia, no primeiro e no trigésimo dias de pós-operatório. O bloqueio foi realizado anterior ao músculo serrátil anterior ao nível da quarta costela na linha axilar média. A sedação foi realizada com o uso de propofol, fentanil, dexmedetomidina e dextrocetamina. Não houve necessidade de conversão para anestesia geral em nenhum paciente. Os cirurgiões apresentaram resposta altamente positiva quando questionados sobre a técnica anestésica, considerando na maior parte dos casos “indistinguível” da anestesia geral. A mediana (intervalo interquartil) da dor em repouso em todos os momentos avaliados foi 0 (0-0). Além disso, nenhum paciente desenvolveu náuseas, vômitos, instabilidade hemodinâmica ou qualquer complicação relacionada à técnica empregada. O bloqueio do plano do músculo Serrátil anterior associado a sedação venosa se mostrou viável para execução de linfadenectomia axilar, entretanto ensaios clínicos adicionais são necessários para avaliar potenciais vantagens em comparação com outras técnicas.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Axillary dissection is a standard surgical procedure for stage III skin and soft tissue tumors and is usually performed under general anesthesia. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of performing axillary dissection with Serratus muscle plane block plus intravenous sedation. Fifteen patients undergoing axillary dissection were prospectively recruited. The patients were evaluated during their pre-operative anesthetic appointment, during their procedure, and at post-operative days 1 and 30. The blockade was performed superficial to the Serratus muscle at the level of fourth rib. Sedation was performed using propofol, fentanyl, dexmedetomidine, and S-ketamine. None of the patients required conversion to general anesthesia. Surgeons showed a highly positive response when asked about the anesthetic technique, and most of them found the technique “indistinguishable” from general anesthesia. The median (interquartile range) pain scores at rest over all time frames was 0 (0-0). Furthermore, no patients developed nausea, hemodynamic instability, or any complications associated with the technique. The Serratus plane block associated with intravenous sedation proved feasible for axillary lymphadenectomy, however, further clinical trials should evaluate potential advantages compared to other techniques.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the impact of the use of checklists on the mean time of the operative processes of patients undergoing hip and knee arthroplasties. Method: cross-sectional and analytical research conducted between November/2020 and March/2022 with retrospective consultation in a simple random sample of 291 medical records, distributed in three periods (2010/2013/2016). Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis; p=0.05 values indicated significance. Results: there was a reduction in the time of entry-exit from the operating room (p=0.002), surgery (p<0.001) and between the onset-anesthesia and the beginning-incision (p=0.021). There was no difference in time between patients with and without the use of checklists (p=0.05) in relation to the variables onset-anesthesia, onset-incision, time of anesthesia and surgery. Conclusion: the implementation of checklists potentially contributed to reduce the time of use of the operating room. The nonassociation of its use with the increase in the mean time of the processes in the operating room shows that its application does not interfere negatively in this indicator.

Published: February 2023

Abstract Two field experiments were conducted during 2019 and 2020 summer seasons at the experimental station of national research center, Al-Nubaryia district, El-Behaira Governorate, Egypt, to study the effect of Phenyl alanine and Aspartic acid foliar fertilizers at rates of (0.0, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) on morphological characters, photosynthetic pigments, seed yield and its components as well as seed quality of groundnut grown under sandy soil. Results indicated superiority of aspartic acid over phenyl alanine on increasing different growth parameters, chlorophyll b, biological and seed yields/plant, biological, seed and oil yields (kg/fed.), % of carbohydrate in peanut seeds. Meanwhile, phenyl alanine was superior on increasing carotenoids, indole acetic acid, phenolics, free amino acids, flavonoids, Lycopene, β-Carotene contents, antioxidant activity expressed as (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl DPPH %) and shilling percentage. In addition, aspartic acid and phenyl alanine with various levels caused significant increases in growth and seed yield quantity and quality of peanut plants through increases in photosynthetic pigments, indole acetic acid, phenolics and free amino acids contents. Aspartic acid was more effective than phenyl alanine, Foliar treatment with 100 mg/L aspartic acid increased oil yield (700.36 over 568.05 ton/fed.) and seed yield (1531.98 over 1253.49 kg/fed.). Finally, it can conclude that using aspartic acid and phenyl alanine as foliar treatment improved growth and yield of ground nut plants under sandy soil.

ABSTRACT: Listeriosis is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Listeria, the neurological form being more common in ruminants. There are many reports of listeriosis in small ruminants in the region that includes Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. However, these diagnoses were mainly based on histological lesions in the central nervous system (CNS) without the isolation and characterization of the involved Listeria strains. The aim of this study was to report sheep and goats listeriosis cases from 2016 to 2021 in northwestern Uruguay. The diagnosis was made according to lesions observed at histopathology, plus Listeria isolation in CNS, identifying it at specie and serotype level. Nine animals (n=9) of three outbreaks and five sporadic cases of listeriosis were studied. Sheep was the species with more cases in relation to goats, and adults were the category most affected. Cases occurred in spring and less frequently in winter. All presented neurological clinical signs and the lesions in the CNS were consistent with suppurative meningoencephalitis and micro-abscesses in the brainstem. In eight of nine CNS samples, Listeria strains were isolated (seven L. monocytogenes and one L. innocua). All the L. monocytogenes isolates carried the inlA gene; serotyping showed that four strains belonged to serotype 1/2b, two isolates belonged to serotype 4b, and one to serotype 1/2a. Considering that listeriosis is a common disease in this region and the fact that isolates are scarcely recovered from small ruminants, it would be important to emphasize the need for Listeria isolation to better characterize the strains that affect animals. Not only to improve knowledge about the epidemiology of disease but also with the objective of developing serotype specific vaccines for animal use.

Abstract This study evaluates the economic viability of sheep finishing systems on irrigated Tamani grass pasture under continuous stocking, using castor bean cake. Four production systems were simulated: sheep supplemented with soybean meal on pasture fertilized with urea (SMUR), sheep supplemented with detoxified castor bean cake on pasture fertilized with urea (CCdUR), sheep supplemented with soybean meal on pasture fertilized with in natura castor bean cake (SMCC) and sheep supplemented with detoxified castor bean cake on pasture fertilized with in natura castor bean cake (CCdCC). A minimum unit of 3 hectares and an average slaughter weight of 28 kg were considered. A minimum selling price, at which the least profitable system would become profitable, was stablished: US$ 2.38 and US$ 4.45/kg per kilogram of body weight and carcass weight equivalent, adopting a minimum rate of return of 3.5% per year, based on the Selic rate. The costs for organic fertilization were 46.01% higher than in systems using chemical fertilization. The selling of live animals was not attractive in any of the systems evaluated, and the opposite was observed for the selling of carcasses and non-carcass components. System SMUR proved to be more profitable, with a gain of US$ 0.53 per kg carcass.

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar a economicidade de sistemas de terminação de ovinos em pastagem irrigada de capim-tamani sob lotação contínua, utilizando torta de mamona. Foram simulados quatro sistemas de produção: ovinos suplementados com farelo de soja e o pasto adubado com ureia (FSUR), ovinos suplementados com torta de mamona destoxificada e o pasto adubado com ureia (TMdUR), ovinos suplementados com farelo de soja e o pasto adubado com torta de mamona in natura (FSTM) e ovinos suplementados com torta de mamona destoxificada e o pasto adubado com torta de mamona in natura (TMdTM). Foi considerada a unidade mínima de 3 hectares e determinado um peso médio ao abate de 28 kg de peso corporal. Estabeleceu-se um preço de venda mínimo, no qual o sistema de criação menos lucrativo se tornasse rentável de 2,38 e 4,45 dólares por quilograma de peso corporal e por equivalente de peso da carcaça, dotando uma taxa mínima de atratividade de 3,5% ao ano, com base na taxa Selic. Os custos com adubação orgânica, em média, são 46,01% superiores aos sistemas que utilizam adubação química. A venda de animais vivos não é atrativa em nenhum dos sistemas avaliados, sendo o contrário observado para a comercialização de carcaças e dos não componentes da carcaça de ovinos. O sistema de produção FSUR se mostrou mais lucrativo, com ganho de US$ 0.53 centavos por kg de carcaça.

Published: February 2023

Resumo A presença de microrganismos deterioradores na forragem interfere no processo fermentativo da silagem, devido a competição com as bactérias ácido láticas por substrato, gerando perdas e influenciando o valor nutritivo do material ensilado. Assim, objetiva-se avaliar o efeito do óleo essencial de Alecrim pimenta (Lippia sidoides) e do timol nanoformulado sobre perfil microbiológico, fermentativo e estabilidade aeróbia de silagem do consórcio de Sorgo (Sorghum bicolor var. Ponta Negra) com capim Paiaguás (Urochloa brizantha cv. Paiaguás). Foi adotado esquema fatorial 4 x 3, quatro aditivos aplicados nas silagens (tratamento controle; óleo essencial de Alecrim pimenta nanoformulado (OEN); timol nanoformulado 62%; e timol nanoformulado 100% de pureza), associados a três tempos de abertura do silo (15, 30 e 45 dias), com cinco repetições por tratamento, totalizando 60 mini silos. A população de Clostridium foi maior no tratamento controle e no OEN. A população de Lactobacillus reduziu com o aumento no tempo de abertura do silo. Maiores estabilidades aeróbica foram registradas em silagens com timol nanoformulado 100% com abertura aos 15 dias; e silagens com Timol nanoformulado 62% (tempos de abertura aos 30 e 45 dias). Silagens com timol 100% proporcionaram maiores perdas de matéria seca, gases e efluentes, enquanto que o uso de OEN proporcionou menores perdas de matéria seca e gases. Silos com abertura aos 45 dias apresentaram maiores perdas de matéria seca, gases e efluentes. Silagens de Sorgo e capim Paiaguás que recebram timol nanoformulado foram mais eficientes em controlar as populações de Clostridium e Lactobacillus, bem como este aditivo melhorou a estabilidade aeróbica da silagem.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Motor-action verbs (MAVs) production and comprehension are compromised in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Objectives: The aim of this study was to characterize the sequential production of three subtypes of MAVs in PD patients: whole body (e.g., run), specific body part (e.g., kick), and instrumental (e.g., saw). This study also aimed to identify the production characteristics for each of the two main phases in fluency performance: selection (initial abundant item production) and retrieval (more paced and scarce production). Methods: This study involved a group of 20 nondemented, on-medication PD patients, with an average age of 66.59 years (standard deviation = 4.13), and a comparison group (CG) of 20 normal elderly individuals, matched by years of education and controlled for cognitive performance and depression. Both groups performed a classical verb fluency task. Sequential word-by-word analyses were conducted. Results: Significant differences were found at the initial production of whole-body MAVs and the overall production of instrumental verbs (both measures were lower in the PD group). A repeated-measures analysis of variance confirmed the linear CG performance and the quadratic PD performance. Conclusions: PD patients present altered production of whole-body and instrumental MAVs. This proposal for the semantic sequential analysis of motor verbs deserves further investigation, as a new methodology for the evaluation of fluency performance in motor-related disease.

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the nursing workload in an oncology intensive care unit according to the condition of COVID-19 infection. Method: A retrospective cohort study. The Nursing Activities Score was used to measure the workload and document analysis for data extraction. The medical records were divided into a group of patients with COVID-19 and another group of patients without the infection. Results: The values of the Nursing Activities Score were not different depending on the sociodemographic variables, but the average of this score was statistically different depending on whether the patient had the diagnosis of COVID-19 or not, being higher in those who had the disease. Conclusion: It was proved that the nursing workload is high in the context of the oncology intensive care unit. However, COVID-19 increased this score even more, with the Nursing Activities Score being an important tool to size the team in this context.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) requires long-lasting treatments and severe changes in the routine of children, which may favor a low quality of life (QoL) and damage to their mental health and that of their primary caregivers (PC). The present study aimed to investigate the presence of anxiety and depression and to analyze the QoL of children and adolescents diagnosed with CKD at stages 3, 4, and 5, and their PC. Methods: We carried out an observational case-control study with 29 children and adolescents and their PC as the case group and 53 as the control group. International instruments, validated for the Brazilian population, were used: Child Anxiety Inventory (STAI-C), Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PEDSQL), Child Depression Inventory (CDI), Beck Anxiety and Depression Inventory (BAI; BDI), and the WHOQOL-bref. Results: The study identified statistically significant differences in the PEDSQL total score (control group, 72.7 ± 19.5; case group, 63.3 ± 20.6; p = 0.0305) and in the psychosocial (control group, 70.5 ± 20.5 and case group, 61.4 ± 19.7; p = 0.0420) and school health dimensions (control group, 72.9 ± 21.0 and case group, 55.2 ± 19.8; p = 0.0003) and the presence of psychiatric comorbidity (depression and anxiety symptoms) in the case group (p = 0.02). As for PC, the study showed statistical significance for the prevalence of depression (p = 0.01) and anxiety (p = 0.02) symptoms. Conclusion: Patients with CKD have lower QoL indices and more psychiatric comorbidities, and their PC are affected by the disease, with higher indices of depression and anxiety.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze the quality of professional practices in infection control programs regarding structure, process, and outcome. Method This is a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study carried out in 114 hospital infection control services in the five official regions of Brazil. The data were collected using a structured instrument whose psychometric properties were previously validated. Data treatment was performed by principal component analysis and non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test. Results The best quality index of infection control programs was attributed to the South region, to hospitals that had 300 beds or more, to those that used the National Healthcare Safety Network criterion for infection surveillance and to places that carried out an active prospective search as their surveillance method. Conclusion and implications for practice: The quality of infection control programs is related to hospital location, size, and infection surveillance method. The creation of a quality index, hitherto unheard of in Brazilian studies, draws attention to the precarious performance of health services.
“Vó, a senhora é lésbica?” Pergunta à queima-roupa e respostas para a constituição de uma utopia
Authors: Fonseca João Barreto da , Fonseca Renata Barreto da
Published: February 2023

Resumo O que é ser uma lésbica? O livro Amora, de Natalia Borges Polesso (2018), embora circule o assunto, evita uma resposta direta, mas apresenta algumas densidades e modulações do amor secreto que são pistas da invisibilidade da afetividade lésbica. Para investir no tema, focaremos no conto “Vó, a senhora é lésbica?”, dialogando com Monique Wittig e outras autoras que propuseram uma utopia lésbica utilizando o próprio texto literário como recurso autorreflexivo. O esforço da escritora no conto é romper com a tradição do silenciamento e propor uma abertura de temas para discussão no âmbito familiar com o intuito de transpassar a opressão heterossexual.

RESUMEN Objetivo: identificar el perfil y la intensidad del cuidado que realizan los abuelos de sus nietos. Método: estudio descriptivo, transversal, con muestreo aleatorio sistemático, mediante cuestionario semiestructurado y análisis descriptivo exploratorio. Realizado en el municipio del Triángulo Minero - Brasil, 2019. Resultados: se entrevistó a 392 abuelos que cuidaban a sus nietos, la mayoría eran mujeres (87,5 %), jubiladas (67,3 %), con primaria incompleta (52,8 %), hipertensión (71,9 %) y problemas visuales (69,4 %). La principal razón para que cuiden de ellos era que los padres trabajaban y la intensidad del cuidado de los nietos era intensiva. Conclusión: se considera que la relación de cuidado entre abuelos y nietos es un aspecto invisible en la producción científica y en la estructuración de programas de salud, a pesar de los impactos que tiene en la condición de salud de los adultos mayores. El estudio amplía la visión sobre los mismos dado que es necesario dilucidar este tema para que puedan ser efectivamente integrados y fortalecer las políticas públicas y sociales, especialmente en el sector salud, dado que se trata de un fenómeno emergente.

Quando a Polícia Militar vai à escola: uma avaliação de impacto do programa Escola Segura
Authors: Lopes Cleber , Rossato Rafael
Published: February 2023

Resumo A violência escolar é um fenômeno mundial que afeta um número significativo de pessoas. Estudos indicam que ela é amplamente disseminada no Brasil, tendo se tornado objeto de fortes preocupações públicas e acadêmicas a partir do final dos anos 1990. O problema da violência escolar tem levado à criação de uma variedade de iniciativas e programas de segurança pública voltados à sua prevenção, cujo impacto tem sido pouco avaliado no Brasil em comparação com a literatura internacional. Em maio de 2019, o governo do Paraná iniciou a implementação de um programa chamado Escola Segura, que contratou policiais militares da reserva ou reformados para atuar na prevenção da violência e de delitos nas escolas da rede estadual de ensino. O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar o impacto do Escola Segura na sensação de segurança, na vitimização, na pichação e no consumo de drogas ilícitas em uma escola pública da cidade de Londrina. São utilizados dados de um survey de vitimização aplicado na escola estudada e em uma outra escola similar que não recebeu o programa. O impacto é estimado por meio do método quase experimental das Diferenças em Diferenças. Os resultados mostram que o Escola Segura não tem nenhum impacto nas variáveis analisadas. Esses resultados são discutidos à luz do contexto político atual, marcado pela crescente participação de militares na gestão pública e escolar.

Published: February 2023

Resumen Este artículo presenta un estudio que aborda, desde la sociología de la experiencia, la problemática de la relación entre los actores del mundo escolar y los dispositivos de evaluación estandarizada. Pese a las críticas que estos instrumentos han suscitado en la sociedad chilena, existen directivos de instituciones educacionales dispuestos a implementarlos voluntariamente. El objetivo de este estudio fue indagar en las razones y sentidos que ellos le dan a un programa de evaluaciones de bajas consecuencias desarrollado por una universidad de prestigio en Chile y orientado a medir el desempeño y progreso de estudiantes en relación con el currículum nacional. El diseño contempló la ejecución de una investigación cualitativa en base a entrevistas semiestructuradas a directivos de establecimientos y administradores de redes educacionales públicas y privadas que utilizan el programa de evaluación, seleccionados de acuerdo a criterios de muestro intencionado (N=33). La información fue analizada en base a lineamientos de la Grounded Theory y, posteriormente, interpretada desde la sociología de la experiencia. Los resultados revelaron la presencia de lógicas de la acción heterogéneas (integración, estratégica y subjetivación) subyacentes a las decisiones y usos de las evaluaciones, cuyas posibilidades de articulación recaen en los actores y dependen en gran medida de las condiciones organizacionales de los establecimientos, dando lugar a distintas experiencias en relación a las evaluaciones estandarizadas. Este estudio identificó tres: la experiencia academicista, de adhesión relativa y la subutilización de las evaluaciones. Se concluye señalando las implicancias de este estudio para la investigación, política y práctica educativa.
O CONHECIMENTO HISTÓRICO NA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA: SEUS USOS NAS DIMENSÕES PRÁTICAS DA VIDA

Published: February 2023

O presente trabalho é desdobramento de uma investigação de tese vinculada a um Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação de uma universidade federal situada no norte do Brasil. O objetivo é descrever práticas escolares que mobilizam o conhecimento histórico e seus usos nas dimensões práticas da vida, lócus em que esses conhecimentos se efetivam em distintos jogos de linguagens, considerando práticas socioculturais que transgridam usos lineares do tempo e concepções mnemônico-mecanicistas que geram compreensões empíricas e verificacionistas no âmbito do ensino de História na educação básica. A atitude teórico-metodológica assumida na pesquisa tem suporte nos conceitos: jogos de linguagem e terapia filosófica, de Wittgenstein; desconstrução, de Derrida; e terapia desconstrucionista, de Antônio Miguel. As análises e discussões da temática ‘Dia da Consciência Negra: como é ser negro? Efeitos e afetos de ser negro no Brasil’ foram escritas em jogos de cena, com uso de citações e enxertias, bordejando as fronteiras entre o texto acadêmico e a arte teatral, ao modo da nossa proposta terapêutica não cartesiana. Os resultados apontam possibilidades de mobilização do conhecimento histórico com foco em problematizações do presente, ao analisar os usos do conhecimento histórico na vida prática, problematizando-se as similaridades/significações entre o passado e o hoje, em um movimento desconstrucionista de posições violentas, bélicas e silenciamentos - como as da colonialidade - ressignificadas na contemporaneidade. Portanto, os processos terapêuticos via linguagem descritos neste trabalho apontam para possíveis ‘formas de tratamento/terapia’ para o ensino de História na educação escolar.

In this research work, a combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and artificial intelligence (AI) methods are conducted to study the effects of geometric properties of aluminum foams on airflow and to compute and predict pressure gradients in foams with such varied geometric parameters as porosity (65-90%) and pore diameter (200-2000 μm). The 3D foam structures are created by the Laguerre-Voronoi tessellations method. Based on the CFD results, pressure gradient for 114 different foams can be calculated in terms of inlet flow velocity (in the range 0.1-8 m/s). Foam pressure gradient is found to increase with increasing inlet flow velocity but with decreasing pore diameter and porosity. Comparisons reveal that the results obtained in the present study for pressure gradient are consistent with the data reported in the literature. It is, therefore, concluded that CFD simulation is a useful tool for pressure gradient estimation in a variety of foam types. Unique simulations are, however, needed each time foam structural properties change, which entails significant increases in the associated computation costs. This drawback may, nonetheless, be at least partially addressed by taking advantage of soft computing methods such as machine learning (ML). Artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector regression (SVR) as subsets of AI are designed (models with input variables inlet velocity and the foam structural parameters: porosity, pore diameter, and strut diameter) and trained using CFD results to predict pressure gradients in a large number of foams. When applied to new foam samples, the ML models exhibit an acceptable performance in predicting pressure gradients. Using such provisions, the method can be effectively used for predicting pressure gradient in various porous media at minimum computation costs.

Authors: Akınay E. , Kılıç H.
Published: February 2023

The effects of induced trench configuration and stiffness of compressible inclusion on the high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe behavior were investigated through full-scale laboratory tests. Two pipe-compressible inclusion configurations (‘compressible inclusion over the pipe crown’ and ‘the pipe covered with compressible inclusion’) were tested and expanded polystyrene (EPS) Geofoam with 10 and 15 kg/m3 nominal density was used as compressible inclusion. To simulate geostatic stresses imposed by high embankment fill, the surcharge stress up to 200 kPa was applied on the surface of the burial medium. Comprehensive instrumentation was implemented to measure the pipe deflections, soil stresses on the pipe, and soil settlements in the pipe zone. Considering the pipe behavior and cost-efficiency together, the configuration in which one EPS geofoam panel with 10 kg/m3 nominal density is placed over the pipe crown arises as the optimal solution for the induced trench HDPE pipe. This solution provided a reduction in the vertical stress at the pipe crown of up to of 76% and in the horizontal stress at the pipe springline of up to 65%. The vertical and horizontal pipe deflections are reduced by 87% and 60%, respectively, under 200-kPa surcharge stress. – that is, overburden pressure imposed by a 10-m-high embankment fill.

Published: February 2023

This paper presents an experimental study investigating the effect of particle shape of granular soils on the shear strength characteristics via direct shear tests. Thirty direct shear tests were conducted on spherical and crushed sand mixtures with different proportions (i.e. 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%). The overall regularity (OR) parameter of sand particles varies between 0.788 and 0.909, fairly reflecting the particle shape of sand mixture. A particular relation between OR and maximum shear strength was found, namely that maximum shear strength increases with a decrease in OR. Furthermore, a gradual increase was observed in the improvement factor (If) due to geotextile reinforcement with an increase in OR except for S25C75, representing 25% spherical and 75% crushed sand, at high and low normal stress levels (i.e. 29 kPa and 116 kPa). The interfacial friction angle (ϕ) of sand mixtures is improved by geotextile reinforcement. Additionally, geotextile reinforcement caused an apparent increase in ϕ with decreasing OR values.

Published: February 2023

This study investigates the predictions of second language (L2) acquisition models — SLM, PAM-L2, and L2LP — on how native (L1) Japanese speakers implement the spectral and temporal aspects of L2 American English vowel categories. Data were obtained from 102 L1 Japanese speakers in the J-AESOP corpus, which also includes nativelikeness judgments by trained phoneticians. Spectrally, speakers judged to be less nativelike showed a strong influence of L1-L2 category assimilation, except L2 /æː/ whose dissimilarity from L1 categories likely triggered new category formation, in accordance with SLM and PAM-L2. However, more nativelike speakers showed vowel spectra similar to those of native English speakers for all vowels, which aligns better with L2LP. Temporally, although speakers tended to assimilate the phonetic length of English vowels to Japanese phonemic length distinctions, segment-level L1-L2 category similarity was not a significant predictor of the speakers’ nativelikeness. Instead, implementation of prosodic-level factors such as stress and phrase-final lengthening were better predictors. The results highlight the importance of suprasegmental factors in successful L2 category learning and also reveal a weakness in current models of L2 acquisition, which focus primarily on the segmental level. The use of speech corpora for L2 research is discussed.
Genre Diversity of the Instagram Social Network in a Linguodidactic Perspective
Authors:   Ryazan State University, Kolesnikov Andrei A. ,   Moscow City University
Published: February 2023

Linguopragmatically, the Instagram social network is a creolized discourse space consisting of a set of blogs with a specific structure. The genre characteristics of these blogs are described in a number of linguistic studies of Instagram discourse. However, the results of these studies have not yet been reflected in the linguodidactic sphere. This makes it difficult to use the genres of Instagram in teaching foreign languages to students of language universities. A good and methodologically correct solution to this problem would make it possible to develop students' skills of communicative self-presentation in the modern multilingual Internet space by creating a public interactive Instagram post. This article attempts to propose a linguodidactic classification of Instagram genres on the basis of the German-language Instagram discourse (German as a foreign language). The proposed classification is based on the assumption that the predominance of creative or genre writing should be considered one of the main criteria for identifying and systematizing the types of written utterances (including creolized ones). As a result, the following genre groups were identified, each of them includes several types of Instagram posts: informational (types: informational analytical; informational entertaining, the latter include Instagram reviews, entertainment news, presentations of entertaining facts), specialized (types: information about facts and events in a certain specialized field; creative presentation of one's own professional activity), lifestyle blogs (types: variable topics of one's daily life; a selected aspect of the author's life), and humorous. Teaching of receptive (analytical reading) and productive (creo-lized writing) activities should be based on informational blogs (training in creating short creolized messages and annotations, Instagram reviews and posts about entertaining facts/events), as well as specialized blogs, namely “creative presentation of professional activities”. This type can be used for teaching students to represent creatively their own educational and professional activities. The rest of the genre groups and types can be used mainly for receptive (analytical) activities. The step-by-step training in creating Instagram posts (from analysis to production and interaction) is based on a special system of tasks, which is described in the article in general terms. This system includes three types of tasks: analytical, productive, interactive.
