Background: Access to neuroemergent care in the United States represents a significant public health concern, with limited neurosurgery and/ or neurocritical care coverage in both rural and urban settings. Inadequate access to neuroemergent providers, even in urban settings, may result in prolonged patient transfer time, associated neurological decline and translate into increased morbidity and mortality. Methods: A single center retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of interhospital patient transfers to a neuroscience ICU between 2008-2018 was performed. Results: 9637 patients were included for analysis. A substantial increase in transfer requests were observed, 610 to 1221 from 2008 to 2018 respectively, with concurrent increase in the number and geographic distribution of referral centers. Ultimately, 7726 (80.2%) patients were discharged home or to outpatient or acute rehabilitation while 1820 (18.9%) were discharged to a long-term acute care facility (LTAC), hospice, or expired during the index admission. The leading diagnoses for transfer were: 1. intracerebral hemorrhage, 2. subarachnoid hemorrhage, 3. ischemic stroke, 4. subdural hematoma and 5. brain tumor. Transfer from an ED or ICU constituted 93.3% of requests. Mean total transfer time between 2012-2018 was < 155 minutes annually (range 128-155 minutes). In 2018, 91.5% of patients had health insurance with 68.7% covered by some form of Medicaid or Medicare. Conclusions: The ongoing evolution and overall success of the NTP draws chiefly from the designation of an easily accessible central operator to orchestrate transfer, establishing a network of community referral centers and optimization of regional patient transportation - all with the solitary goal of improving patient outcomes.

Invasive Fungal Infection (IFI) is a serious complication in patients with hematologic malignancies. We present a case of invasive Mucormycosis in a patient with Chronic Lymphatic Leukemia (CLL). This case of Mucormycosis illustrates invasive fungal infections as a complication to chronic hematologic diseases and adds to other publications that suggest a relationship with novel treatments of CLL such as ibrutinib. Treatment of the IFI was successful without having to stop ibrutinib. We present relevant publications and discuss clinical controversies that arise.

The purpose of the study was to substantiate and develop the improved model of the specialized nephrology care for the children with infectious inflammatory diseases of the urinary system at the regional level. Materials and methods. The official statistical data have been studied (reports on the state of medical care for children in the Chernivtsi region and data from the Center of medical statistics of the Ministry of Healthcare from 2006 to 2017), information-analytical and statistical methods have been used. The modern etiological structure of uropathogens – urinary tract infection pathogens among the children of the Chernivtsi region (2009-2016) was studied. Clinical and laboratory examination of 3,089 children (0-17 years old) was conducted in the region; the regional spectrum of sensitivity to antibacterial drugs was determined among the main groups of urinary tract infection pathogens; their age, gender and administrative-territorial differences among the children's population of the region are analyzed. Results and discussion. During 2012-2017 there was a significant increase (by 23.0%) in the incidence of infectious and inflammatory groups of the urinary system diseases among children of 0-14 years old, while among adolescents there was simultaneously an intensive decrease in indicators (by 40.0%) compared to 8.7% in 2006-2011. The ratio of indicators and their dynamics suggests that the growth of sick adolescents is largely due to the insufficient effectiveness of medical care, while children of 0-14 years old is due to their low and insufficient prevention. The data formed the foundation for substantiation and development of an improved functional-organizational model of the system. In addition to the existing and functionally changed elements the model contains new elements: regional/inter-regional center of specialized medical aid for children with infectious-inflammatory diseases of the urinary system. Conclusion. Implementation of the elements of the suggested improved model in a part of a rational approach in distribution of functions concerning medical observation of patients at the stages of providing medical aid enabled to make the period of hospitalization of nephrological patients by 11.40% shorter and an average period of treatment of patients with infectious-inflammatory diseases of the urinary system by 2.93% shorter. Efficiency of implementation of certain elements of the suggested model with its positive evaluation by independent experts and its compliance with the strategy of branch reforms enables to recommend the improved functional-organization model of providing medical aid for children with infectious-inflammatory diseases of the urinary system at the regional level to be introduced into the health care system of Ukraine

The purpose of the study is to analyze the sources of modern literature of domestic and foreign researchers on the prospects of resveratrol in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a clinical manifestation characterized by many comorbidities, including hyperglycemia, abdominal obesity, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. All components of metabolic syndrome are involved in the induction of low-quality inflammation and oxidative stress, characteristic of this symptom complex. Metabolic syndrome is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and early mortality, which has a significant impact on health care costs. Finding an effective and alternative therapeutic strategy, which is natural and has no side effects, can be a useful tool in the fight against metabolic syndrome. This review focuses on the potential beneficial effects of a polyphenolic natural compound – resveratrol – on various molecular targets with programming for the development of disorders associated with metabolic syndrome and its comorbidities. A number of data on the effects of resveratrol on body weight, insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance, lipid profile, blood pressure, oxidative stress indicate that this compound has a wide range of beneficial effects on human health, and also has a beneficial effect on metabolic syndrome. A numerous data on the improvement of homeostasis, glucose, lipids, fat reduction, blood pressure, oxidative stress may demonstrate how resveratrol may be useful in the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome and related disorders due to its anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet and antioxidant properties. Resveratrol can be used either early as a reprogramming agent or later as a part of the treatment of metabolic syndrome. A few of the main molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of resveratrol on metabolic syndrome are given in the article. Conclusion. Presented review of literature outlined the potential of resveratrol as supplementary or alternative medicine. Thus, resveratrol could be a useful regimen for the prevention and treatment of metabolic syndrome and its related conditions. The article considers some molecular level targets for resveratrol in terms of its effect on the metabolic syndrome, such as adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase, SIRT1 protein, the main switch of the cellular defense system (Nrf2), nuclear factor-kappa B, estrogen receptor and the like
Global Depository Receipts in India: boon or bane

Published: October 2021

The Global Depository Receipt (“GDR” or “DR”) is a structured financial instrument denominated in foreign currency and Indian companies issue equity shares/securities underlying the GDR to international investors. Many companies have used GDRs for manipulative and fraudulent practices and the Indian regulator, SEBI has penalised them. This paper aims to evaluate the legitimacy of the GDRs and malpractices associated with them and to find if there is any need for reform in the GDR Scheme, to see if the GDRs are beneficial to the economy or are inherently manipulative instruments and looks at the need to reform the laws governing GDR. The authors have employed the methods, literature review and empirical research. The authors have conducted empirical research of the participants in the Indian GDR industry in April and May of 2021 by way of an online Questionnaire and unstructured telephonic interviews. The study results in the author’s conclusion that the GDRs are legitimate instruments but the participants abused the Scheme and led to malpractices. The authors failed to conclude about the need for reforms in the GDR laws. The paper recommends the suitable amendment of the DR scheme with an intention to plug its loopholes and allow it in foreign jurisdictions with the highest compliance requirements while keeping in mind the cost of such compliance.

Authors: Eketnova Yu. M.
Published: October 2021

In the field of financial monitoring, it is necessary to promptly obtain objective assessments of economic entities (in particular, credit institutions) for effective decision-making. Automation of the process of identifying unscrupulous credit institutions based on machine learning methods will allow regulatory authorities to quickly identify and suppress illegal activities. The aim of the research is to substantiate the possibilities of using machine learning methods and algorithms for the automatic identification of unscrupulous credit institutions. It is required to select a mathematical toolkit for analyzing data on credit institutions, which allows tracking the involvement of a bank in money laundering processes. The paper provides a comparative analysis of the results of processing data on the activities of credit institutions using classification methods — logistic regression, decision trees. The author applies support vector machine and neural network methods, Bayesian networks (Two-Class Bayes Point Machine), and anomaly search — an algorithm of a One-Class Support Vector Machine and a PCA-Based Anomaly Detection algorithm. The study presents the results of solving the problem of classifying credit institutions in terms of possible involvement in money laundering processes, the results of analyzing data on the activities of credit institutions by methods of detecting anomalies. A comparative analysis of the results obtained using various modern algorithms for the classification and search for anomalies is carried out. The author concluded that the PCA-Based Anomaly Detection algorithm showed more accurate results compared to the One-Class Support Vector Machine algorithm. Of the considered classification algorithms, the most accurate results were shown by the Two-Class Boosted Decision Tree (AdaBoost) algorithm. The research results can be used by the Bank of Russia and Rosfinmonitoring to automate the identification of unscrupulous credit institutions

Authors: Aboelbaha Shimaa , Zolezzi Monica , Elewa Hazem
Published: October 2021

Introduction: Evidence supporting pharmacogenetic (PGX) tests utility in depression is scarce. The main objectives of this study were to summarize, update, and assess the quality of the available evidence regarding PGX testing in depression as well as estimating the impact of using PGX testing tools in depression outcomes in the MENA region. Methodology: Scientific databases were systematically searched from inception to March 20, 2020 for systematic reviews (SRs) and randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing clinical utility of PGX tests in treatment of depression. Meta-analysis only and RCTs that that were included in eligible SRs were excluded. Quality of the eligible studies were assessed using Crowe Critical Appraisal Tool (CCAT). Results: Six SRs and three RCTs met the inclusion criteria and were included in this study. Results of the SRs have provided weak evidence on the efficacy of PGX testing especially in patients with moderate-severe depression at eight weeks. In addition, there was a lack of evidence regarding safety outcomes. Newer RCTs with better qualities showed clinical promise regarding efficacy outcomes especially in patients with gene-drug interactions. No evidence was found regarding PGX testing impact in the MENA region. Conclusion: This SR summarizes findings, provides an update, and assesses the quality of available SRs on this topic. Findings of this study have demonstrated that PGX testing prior to treatment initiation might improve efficacy outcomes. Further studies are warranted to assess PGX testing impact on safety outcomes.
Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) 1B Inhibition Improves Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress-Induced Apoptosis and Impaired Angiogenic Response in Endothelial Cells
Authors: Abdelsalam Shahenda Salaheldine , Agouni Abdelali
Published: October 2021

Insulin is not only important for glucose homeostasis, but also plays a critical role in the activation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) to synthesize nitric oxide (NO) and keeping the endothelium functional. Conditions which result in insulin resistance, such as diabetes and obesity, cause impairment of endothelial function, a condition known as endothelial dysfunction that features a reduced release of NO. Protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) 1B, is a known negative regulator of insulin receptor, that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and endothelial dysfunction. Owing to its critical location at the surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), PTP1B has been found to play an important role in ER stress response. However, the role of ER stress in PTP1B-mediated endothelial dysfunction is not fully elucidated. Toa address this, ER stress was induced pharmacologically in endothelial cells using thapsigargin, in the presence or absence of either a small molecule inhibitor of PTP1B or silencing siRNA duplexes, followed by the assessment of the expression of key ER stress markers, angiogenic capacity and apoptotic signals. We report here, that PTP1B inhibition protected cells against ER stress and ER stress-induced impairment in eNOS activation and angiogenic capacity. PTP1B inhibition or silencing also protected against ER stress-induced endothelial cell apoptosis. Moreover, PTP1B blockade also suppressed ER stress-activated autophagy. Our data emphasize on the critical role of PTP1B in ER stress-mediated endothelial cell dysfunction and highlights the therapeutic potential of PTP1B inhibition against ER stress-mediated cell death and impairment of endothelial function to prevent cardiovascular disease in pathologies charactereized by the activation of ER stress such as diabetes.

Published: October 2021

Research purpose: Hypertension is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in Qatar. Community pharmacist-managed home blood pressure monitoring (HBPM) services have been shown to provide better control of hypertension. Digital BP devices available and sold in community pharmacies are commonly used for HBPM services. Devices validated for accuracy are important for clinical decision-making. Non-validated devices are more likely to be inaccurate and could potentially lead to poor BP control and health risks. The objectives of our study are 1) to identify the proportion of validated BP devices available in community pharmacies in Qatar and 2) to determine the relationship between the validation status of devices and cuff location and price. Methodology: We visited 28 community pharmacies including the 2 major pharmacy chains in Qatar. The following data were collected about BP devices: brand/model, validation status, cuff location, and price. Findings: A total of 87 distinct models of BP devices from 19 different brands are available in Qatar community pharmacies. The three most commonly available brands are Beurer®, Omron®, and Rossmax®. Most models available are upper arm devices (75%) while the rest are wrist devices (25%). Among all models, only 57.5% are validated. Sixty percent of upper-arm devices and 50% of wrist devices are validated. Importantly, 60% of lower-priced (≤ QAR 250) devices are not validated while 83% of higher-priced (QAR 500-750) devices are validated. Research originality/value: This is a novel study that has investigated the validation status of BP devices available in community pharmacies for the first time. This information will serve both pharmacists and the public alike. In Qatar and elsewhere, there are no regulations on the accuracy of devices sold in community pharmacies. Therefore, regulations on the sale of BP devices should be implemented in the best interest of patient safety.

Exhaled breath is the biological medium that carries relevant medical information and can be used to analyse biomarkers characteristic for detecting abnormal health status. Thus, by systematically analysing the interaction mechanism of the coronavirus with the human cell and its effect on the biological activity, it is possible to indentify the compounds whose proportion in the exhale breath is affected. One such biomarkers are hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitric oxide (NO), which represents oxidative stress in the body. The present study represents the colorimetry based quantification of H2O2 and NO using KMnO4 and m-cresol purple dye, respectively. The dyes exhibited 0.01 ppm limit of detection (LOD) for H2O2 and LOD of 0.02 ppm was estimated for NO. Moreover, dyes apprehended high degree of selectivity towards other bio-compounds present in the breath. The colorimetry sensor is best suited for quantifying oxidative stress in the body, which is one of the indicator of coronavirus infection. Thus, the sensor offers rapid point-of-detection for predicting COVID-19 infection in human body.

India has the largest area (11.48 lakh ha) and the highest productivity (1666 kg ha-1) of castor in the world. Castor is one of the crucial non-edible oilseed crops grown in arid and semi-arid regions. Castor farming is currently besieged by a slew of issues, including fluctuating rainfall patterns, biotic and abiotic stress. Castor productivity can be boosted by using the latest improved castor hybrids, changing the planting pattern, using automation methods, and adopting new production technologies. So, introducing hybrid castors like YRCH 1 will boost castor productivity. The Hybrid castor-YRCH 1 was released in the year 2009 and more extension activities was undertaken to popularise this hybrid in the major castor growing districts of Tamil Nadu, by the Tapioca and Castor Research Station (TCRS), Yethapur, and the Krishi Vigyan Kendras of respective districts. The present study was undertaken with the objective of analysing the socioeconomic impact of Hybrid castor-YRCH 1 among castor farmers. This study was conducted in the Namakkal and Salem districts of Tamil Nadu, which has the maximum area under Hybrid castor (YRCH 1) cultivation. In this study, four villages have been selected, from which 120 farmers were selected by simple random sampling technique. Using a well structured interview schedule, the required data were collected and percentage analysis was done. From the findings, it is revealed that most farmers have increased material possession (62.92%) due to the adoption of Hybrid castor (YRCH 1) and its production technologies.

Two single nucleotide polymorphic mutations and deletion affecting Y1059V1060V1061 amino acid residues in a host translation initiation factor four gamma (eIF4G) gene in rice are reported to confer resistance to rice tungrospherical virus in resistant genotypes. A CRISPR-based adenine base editing vector was used to target these residues in a susceptible indica cultivar, ASD16.Agrobacterium-mediated transformation of ASD16 generated 16 missense mutants and two deletion mutants. Substitution mutations occurred at A5> G5 and A4> G4, where 5.5 % and 3.37 % of adenosines got converted to guanosines, respectively. The mutantsgenerated had missense mutations affecting the YVV residues and the residues immediately adjacent to YVV.Thus,these novel mutationsare promising candidates in imparting resistance against rice tungro disease.

Authors:   Universidade de Aveiro, Departamento de Línguas e Culturas, Centro de Línguas, Literaturas e Culturas., Branco Luís Carlos S.
Published: October 2021

Este artigo dará conta, de modo panorâmico, das dinâmicas e reconfigurações dos hábitos e práticas alimentares dos portugueses, procurando assinalar os contrastes mais significativos entre o Estado Novo e as décadas seguintes, até à contemporaneidade. Para isso, utilizaram-se estudos de índole diversa, integrando-os e unificando-os. Fez-se uma seleção e revisão de literatura, analisando-se e confrontando-se, no texto, os seguintes tópicos: a institucionalização da segurança alimentar, a masculinização do espaço culinário, a alimentação como metáfora identitária e reificação de estatuto social, a gastronomia memorialística, o crescimento da cozinha de origem étnica, entre outros. Em resumo, podemos concluir que houve mudanças muito positivas se compararmos as práticas e hábitos alimentares durante a vigência da ditadura do Estado Novo (1933-1974), onde a pobreza e a falta de alimentos eram problemas preocupantes, com a abundância e variedade do Regime Democrático (1975-2021). Estas mudanças sinalizam também as grandes reconfigurações sociais, entretanto, ocorridas. Porém, existem agora problemas muito sérios, como, por exemplo, o distanciamento do padrão alimentar tradicional português, referente à saudável Dieta Mediterrânica, entre outros.

Authors: Pimenta Pauline
Published: October 2021

Este trabalho busca analisar, com base na Análise do Discurso Crítica (FAIRCLOUGH, 1999, 2003), uma campanha publicada pela Secretaria de Saúde da Prefeitura da cidade de São Paulo em comemoração ao Dia Internacional da Mulher. O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar de que forma os recursos linguísticos foram utilizados para alcançar o objetivo da campanha que acreditamos ser o de abrir os olhos do cidadão para atitudes que ainda são tomadas em relação às mulheres. Para tanto, foi realizada uma reflexão teórica sobre o significado acional (intertextualidade e pressuposição) e o significado representacional (interdiscusividade), para, em seguida, a campanha ser analisada e ser demonstrado de que maneira houve a negação dos estereótipos encontrados.
LA ATMÓSFERA NOCTURNA EN LA CASA DE BERNARDA ALBA Y EN DOROTÉIA
Authors: Da Silva Filho José Francisco
Published: October 2021

Este artículo tiene el propósito de analizar el tema de la atmósfera nocturna en las obras de teatro La casa de Bernarda Alba de Federico García Lorca e Dorotéia de Nelson Rodrigues. La primera imagen que nos llama la atención es el color negro predominante en las casas de Bernarda y de Dorotéia, lo que convierte este espacio en un lugar nocturno y sombrío. Si en la obra del español existe una noche que logra penetrar poco a poco el ambiente cerrado donde viven una viuda con sus cuatro hijas, en la del brasileño encontramos primas enlutadas viviendo la pesadilla de estar eternamente despiertas, en una especie  de noche de vigilia e insomnio interminables. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo recurrimos a estudiosos que valoran el aspecto imaginativo y simbólico de las imágenes como Juan Eduardo Cirlot (1985), Henry Corbin (2000) y James Hillman (2004).

O conteúdo desenvolvido foi o de caráter social, utilizando tema transversal relacionado ao meio ambiente, incluído na disciplina de Língua Portuguesa. Utilizou-se de metodologias como: entrevistas, cartazes, filmes, leitura de textos, o que pode ser constatado no final do Estágio que os conteúdos do tema transversal relacionado ao meio ambiente serviram para construção de uma consciência crítica afinada com os valores referentes à proteção e melhoria da natureza.
O SUJEITO NO DISCURSO SOBRE O SISTEMA ÚNICO DE SAÚDE (SUS): UM RECORTE DO FACEBOOK
Authors: Aivi Vanessa Aline Souza Almeida , Aguero Rosemere de Almeida
Published: October 2021

Resumo: O presente trabalho trata do sujeito, analisado pelo viés do discurso de usuários e trabalhadores que integram o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS), enunciado na rede social Facebook. A temática de todos esses discursos é o desempenho do SUS, Sistema responsável pela Saúde Pública no país e que atende grande parte dos brasileiros. O corpus do estudo é constituído por 8 (oito) recortes discursivos (RD), extraídos do Facebook, analisados na perspectiva da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa, a partir da voz teórica de Michel Pêcheux. Procuramos evidenciar as posições-sujeito dos enunciadores a partir das formações discursivas (FD) nas quais se inscrevem, assim como os efeitos de sentido que atravessam seus discursos. As análises mostraram a existência de dois grupos de sujeitos inscritos em duas formações discursivas diferentes (FD1 e FD2). Na FD1 encontramos duas posições-sujeito distintas (PS1 e PS2). Na FD2 evidenciamos sujeitos identificados à PS1 da FD1. Esse resultado comprova que as FD não são espaços fechados e que são passíveis de serem atravessadas por saberes e discursividades provenientes de outras FD. Palavras-chave: 1. Sujeito; 2.SUS; 3. Facebook

A RELAÇÃO ENTRE MULTIMODALIDADE E A PROPOSTA DE MULTILETRAMENTOS COM A CARTILHA CAMINHO SUAVE
Authors: Rosal Maria Elisabeth Barbosa
Published: October 2021

Os textos multimodais são multissemióticos e permitem uma grande quantidade de estímulos sensoriais e visuais. Como qualquer texto, estão vinculados a contextos socioculturais e históricos específicos que o pesquisador, os autores de recursos didáticos e a escola não podem perder de vista, conforme Kress e Van Leeuwen (1996; 2002), Van Leeuwen (2011) e Mayer (2009). Também deve ser considerada a relação entre multimodalidade e leitura proposta por Dionísio (2005; 2011; 2014). Para tratar de múltiplos aspectos no ambiente escolar surge o campo de pesquisa da Pedagogia de Multiletramentos, mostrando que a diversidade não é apenas de linguagens, mas de contextos de produção e circulação dos textos, envolvendo a Pedagogia de Multiletramentos proposta pelo Grupo de Nova Londres (2000) como também Rojo (2009; 2012).  Com esses pressupostos, o presente artigo toma como objeto de análise a capa da 132ª edição de 2015 da cartilha Caminho Suave, de Branca Alves de Lima, e mostra que suas escolhas semióticas, marcadas por uma ideologia conservadora, possibilitam multiletramentos espontâneos que acontecerão à medida que os alunos interligam os conhecimentos a diferentes significados e interpretações dos diferentes modos (texto e imagem) e recursos semióticos. Palavras-chave: Multimodalidade. Multiletramentos. Caminho Suave. Ideologia.
A IMPORTÂNCIA DA HABILIDADE DE LEITURA NO PROCESSO DE APRENDIZAGEM DE LÍNGUA INGLESA NO CONTEXTO DA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA
Authors: De Andrade Camila Souza
Published: October 2021

O ensino de língua inglesa no espaço escolar tem sido alvo de muito desprestígio, contribuindo para que alunos e professores acreditem que seja impossível aprender inglês na escola. Com base nos estudos de Moita Lopes (1996) e Carmagnani (1987) este artigo destaca a importância do ensino da habilidade de leitura, pois, assim, o ensino de língua inglesa seria mais atrativo e dinâmico. Dentro dessa proposta, consideram-se as estratégias de leitura relevantes para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem de leitura em língua inglesa. Para a realização desta pesquisa foi selecionado um livro didático destinado a alunos do Ensino Médio que é utilizado em escolas públicas estaduais do Rio de Janeiro. Os dados foram obtidos através da análise das atividades de leitura propostas pelo livro High up. Os dados levantados evidenciam que algumas atividades de leitura não têm por objetivo trabalhar a habilidade de leitura em si, mas, sim, outras habilidades linguísticas. Em nossa conclusão, evidenciamos que é importante ensinar as estratégias de leitura no processo de ensino de língua inglesa.  PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Ensino Médio. Estratégias de leitura. Língua Inglesa.

A CONSTRUÇÃO DOS SUJEITOS BRASILEIROS NA ENUNCIAÇÃO PRESIDENCIAL DE GETÚLIO VARGAS: UMA ANÁLISE SEMÂNTICA DO PRONUNCIAMENTO DE 1930
Authors: BRANDAO RENATA ORTIZ
Published: October 2021

Este artigo apresenta uma análise semântica da enunciação de Getúlio Vargas ao tomar a palavra como chefe do Governo Provisório da República em seu pronunciamento de de 03 de novembro de 1930. Nesta análise, observamos como Vargas, enquanto locutor-governante, produz sentidos para si próprio e para os sujeitos brasileiros ao nomeá-los, inscrevendo-os nos fios do seu dizer. Buscamos compreender os modos de identificação do sujeito brasileiro pelo Estado e de construção da relação entre governante e governados, a partir da enunciação do locutor-presidente. O estudo está ancorado na Semântica do Acontecimento, que assume uma posição materialista sobre o funcionamento da linguagem, e dialoga, por essa via, com a Análise de Discurso de filiação francesa. Nessa perspectiva, se busca compreender os movimentos políticos das palavras nos gestos de afirmação no dizer e em sua inscrição em posições ideológicas presentes na sociedade, entendendo que a tomada da palavra se dá por uma disputa de lugares e sentidos, o que produz efeito sobre o real.
Abrangência do termo "estratégias" no efeito retroativo de exames de proficiência em língua inglesa
Authors: Kobayashi Eliana
Published: October 2021

O efeito retroativo que testes de proficiência em língua inglesa de alta relevância pode causar no ensino tem sido muito discutido nos estudos sobre avaliação e mostram possibilidades de consequências positivas e também negativas. Muitas vezes, o termo estratégias ou técnicas para fazer um teste é visto de forma negativa pelos atores envolvidos, como se fosse um aspecto que não tivesse relação com as habilidades de uso da língua. O objetivo principal deste artigo é focalizar dois termos pouco explorados quando o efeito retroativo é analisado: a experiência em responder teste (test-wiseness) e estratégias para a realização de testes (test-taking strategies) demonstrando que, muitas vezes, o limite entre eles não está claramente estabelecido. Além disso, busca-se também ressaltar aspectos positivos presentes em ambos pelo aprofundamento de suas definições.
