Authors: Wegner Tomasz
Published: September 2024

Jak brzmi lato? to podsumowanie projektu wzmacniającego kompetencje międzykulturowe dzięki samodzielnej pracy z tekstami kultury popularnej. Przebieg projektu można określić następująco: faza wstępna – próba analizy i interpretacji tekstów literackich i fragmentów polskich piosenek, faza właściwa (autonomiczna) – od poszukiwania polskich utworów o wskazanych kryteriach i dobierania na podstawie własnych skojarzeń podobnych tekstów chińskiej kultury popularnej, po realizację zadań translatorskich – przekład chińskich tekstów na język polski. Ważną częścią projektu była współpraca z rówieśnikami, tzw. student buddies na etapie selekcji utworów. Dzięki realizacji niniejszego projektu studenci mogli rozwijać kompetencje w zakresie pisania, interpretowania tekstów kultury popularnej oraz porównywania kultur. Prześledzenie działań krok po kroku ma służyć krytycznej autorefleksji co do efektywności tego typu działania i wyciągnięciu wniosków na przyszłość, umożliwiających wprowadzenie usprawnień.

Przemiany w języku i ich odzwierciedlenie w materiałach do nauczania języka polskiego jako obcego. Analiza serii Hurra!!! Po polsku oraz Polski, krok po kroku pod kątem obecności form języka włączającego
Authors: Szott Maciej
Published: September 2024

Zagadnienie etyki języka i komunikacji, rozumiane jako włączanie do dyskursu grup językowo dyskryminowanych, jest w polszczyźnie czymś względnie nowym. Wraz z rozwojem koncepcji języka włączającego pojawiła się potrzeba aktualizacji materiałów do nauczania języka polskiego jako obcego. Niniejszy artykuł weryfikuje, czy dwie najpopularniejsze serie podręczników do nauczania języka polskiego jako obcego, tj.: Hurra!!! Po polsku oraz Polski, krok po kroku, odpowiadają normom współczesnej polszczyzny inkluzywnej. Przed przystąpieniem do analizy odwołano się do teorii relatywizmu językowego jako podstawowego uzasadnienia dla koncepcji języka i komunikacji włączającej. Następnie podjęto się próby zdefiniowania, czym jest język włączający. Badanie objęło zarówno warstwę słowną, jak i szatę graficzną podręczników. W czasie analizy poszukiwano obecności włączających strategii językowych dla ośmiu wybranych grup językowo dyskryminowanych, tj.: kobiet, osób nieheteronormatywnych, niebinarnych, starszych, chorujących, z niepełnosprawnościami, a także o różnym kolorze skóry i pochodzeniu. Jak wykazano, w obu publikacjach występują zarówno formy włączające, jak i wykluczające. Inna jest natomiast częstotliwość stosowania strategii inkluzywnych, co nie pozostaje bez wpływu na ostateczną ocenę. Na rynku dostępnych jest wiele podręczników do nauczania języka polskiego jako obcego, dlatego istnieje szerokie pole do realizacji podobnych badań. Z pewnością warte dyskusji jest też uwzględnienie języka włączającego w programach nauczania na różnych poziomach zaawansowania językowego osób uczących się.

El juez activo del código de procesos cubano en el estreno de la tutela judicial efectiva constitucional
Authors: Mendoza Díaz Juan
Published: September 2024

El trabajo analiza el escenario que se genera en Cuba a partir de 2019, momento en que se aprueba una nueva Constitución que abroga la vigente desde 1976. El nuevo texto magno regula, por primera vez, la tutela judicial efectiva y el debido proceso dentro del capítulo dedicado a las Garantías de los Derechos y le encomienda al legislador ordinario que dicte nuevas normas de desarrollo en los diferentes ámbitos procesales, encargadas de regular el catálogo de los nuevos derechos reconocidos en la Constitución. Derivado del mandato constitucional se dicta la Ley No. 141/2021, de 28 de octubre, “Código de Procesos”, que regula la tramitación de los asuntos civiles, de familia, mercantiles y del trabajo y la seguridad social. El nuevo Código, que rompe con la sistemática normativa de la ley precedente, introduce un catálogo de facultades ordenatorias e instructorias, que atribuye a un modelo de juez “activo”, cuyos poderes se despliegan por todo el nuevo texto normativo y abarcan todas las actuaciones procesales. El presente trabajo pretende identificar y analizar el amplio catálogo de facultades que la nueva ley confiere al juez cubano, como herramientas para garantizar el cabal cumplimiento de la tutela judicial efectiva y el debido proceso.
El paradigma constitucional del proceso civil. Bases teóricas
Authors: Delgado Suárez Christian
Published: September 2024

El presente ensayo ofrece una base teórica posible y verificable para afirmar lo que se denomina como el cuarto paradigma procesal, correspondiente a la perspectiva constitucional del proceso civil o a la constitucionalización del proceso civil, como superación de sus anteriores etapas clásica e instrumentalista. Para ello, a través del método interdisciplinario, la investigación se vale del derecho constitucional, de la interpretación jurídica y del derecho procesal para remodelar las bases teóricas del proceso civil y otorgarle un valor constitucionalizado a través del reconocimiento de los derechos fundamentales procesales como normas de directa aplicación conteniendo mandatos de optimización. Si de constitucionalizar el proceso civil se trata, el ensayo, entonces, no solo busca el tránsito seguro por el recuento de las así llamadas garantías procesales. Por el contrario, el método funcional o de utilidad aplicado al mismo impone que el aporte pase por reconocerle al juez del Estado Constitucional el deber de tutela judicial incluso de los mismos derechos procesales fundamentales frente al defecto o ausencia de reglas que debiesen implementar y densificar el principio de tutela jurisdiccional efectiva. Con esto se permitirá deconstruir y reconstruir conceptos como el derecho fundamental a la tutela jurisdiccional efectiva y el derecho de acción, retirándoles el slogan de meras garantías que permiten el acceso a la jurisdicción, para endosarles el carácter de mandatos de optimización directamente ejecutados por los jueces. Se trata, entonces, de la tutela del proceso, en el proceso, por parte del juez.

Authors: Geoffery G.K. Raswin , Athithan S. , Pereira1 J. Jaculine , Amirtharaj K.S. Vijay , Jeyashakila R. , Ruby P.
Published: September 2024

Background: Aquaculture’s explosive growth has made it more and more dependent on outside feed sources. Fish meal serves as the primary source of protein for external feed inputs. These days, it’s difficult to provide a high-protein diet at a reasonable price. Numerous investigations have been carried out to assess the viability of using plant-based protein sources in place of fish meal in a tilapia’s diet. Methods: The current study was planned to study the performance of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) when fed with Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes). In the present trial, major feed ingredients were mixed in the feed at different concentration viz., 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. Every day the fishes were fed at the rate of 5% of their body weight. The experiment was conducted for a period of 90 days and the sampling was carried out once in a fortnight. Result: This study suggests replacing fish meal at low concentrations or no replacement tends to increase the growth of the fish without compromising the cost of the feed. The water hyacinth diet helps to cut down the price to a greater extent as the inclusion levels are less and helps to find a new alternative in the feed industry.

Authors: Zhang Juan , Yang Chengyao , Luo Chaoyang , Zhu Wanlong , Mu Yuan
Published: September 2024

Background: The mitochondrial genome serves as a pivotal molecular marker for delving into systematic relationships and adaptive mechanisms. The genus Eothenomys (Cricetidae: Arvicolinae) has consistently attracted attention due to its similar biological characteristics and the analysis of its mitochondrial genome offers a fresh perspective for comprehending the phylogeny and adaptation within Cricetidae. Methods: We sequenced and analyzed the entire mitochondrial genome of E. olitor and utilized the 13 PCGs derived from this genome to delineate the phylogenetic relationships within the Cricetidae and further evaluated the evolutionary rate of each PCG. Result: The findings revealed that the mitochondrial genome of E. olitor was 16,351 bp in length, including 13 PCGs with ATN initiation codons, 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and 1 D-loop. Apart from the nad6 and 8 tRNAs positioned on the J-strand, the majority of the genetic elements were situated on the N-strand. The phylogenetic examination yielded a robust phylogenetic tree for Cricetidae, but the placement of some genera remained contentious, which needs more integrative and effective data. Among of them, E. olitor was a sister of E. chinensis and Eothenomys was monophyletic. Moreover, a selective analysis showed that evolutionary rates are significant differences among the 13 PCGs. Among these genes, atp8 a high evolutionary rate, while cox1 has a low. This research uncovered the mitochondrial genome analysis of E. olitor, offering valuable perspectives the phylogeny and adaptation within Cricetidae.

Published: September 2024

Las medusas habitan en todos los mares del mundo, a distintas profundidades. Tienen un cuerpo gelatinoso, su forma típica es como un paraguas, que se presenta en una gran variedad de formas, colores y tamaños. Algunas tienen tentáculos, otras no; presentan una cavidad gástrica, no obstante, carecen de una organización anatómica a manera de órganos o sistemas como en los seres humanos. Pueden vivir desde unos cuantos meses hasta un par de años, presentando un ciclo de vida complejo que involucra diferentes etapas en las cuales pueden vivir suspendidas en el agua o adheridos a superficies. En las últimas décadas se ha prestado más atención a la reproducción de medusas en laboratorios de investigación para comprender el fenómeno de proliferaciones masivas naturales, las cuáles ocasionan daños económicos y sociales; de este modo también se potencia el aprovechamiento de este recurso natural para su exhibición en acuarios, fomentando la derrama económica y educación ambiental. En este trabajo se describe brevemente cómo funcionan los sistemas de producción de medusas, los factores que se deben controlar para su correcto desarrollo y el tipo de alimentación que reciben durante el cultivo.

La regeneración es un proceso biológico altamente especializado que les permite a los organismos reconstruir células, tejidos, órganos o estructuras corporales dañadas o mutiladas. Hablando de animales, todos se regeneran; sin embargo, las habilidades regenerativas de cada grupo animal son distintas. En este sentido, asombrosas capacidades regenerativas se suelen asociar con los primeros animales que poblaron la Tierra, como las medusas. Dentro del grupo de las medusas (medusozoos), existen organismos que han sido claves para el estudio y entendimiento del fenómeno de la regeneración, tal es el caso de la hidra; cuyo nombre está inspirado en el monstruo mitológico capaz de regenerar dos cabezas cada vez que una era cortada. En este texto, exploraremos datos de medusozoos que poseen capacidades regenerativas igualmente sorprendentes a las de la hidra; algunos de ellos, capaces de regenerar un organismo entero a partir de tejido desintegrado. Además, conocerás sobre los mecanismos celulares que explican la regeneración, así como el impacto de su estudio en el campo de la biomedicina, por ejemplo, para entender mejor los procesos de cicatrización, regeneración de tejidos humanos y enfermedades como el cáncer.

Published: September 2024

Image segmentation is a fundamental process in image processing, aiming to transform the image into a more comprehensible or simplified representation. This process groups pixels under common characteristics, facilitating the unique identification of regions or elements of interest. The quality of segmentation is crucial as it significantly influences the subsequent stages of image processing. Image segmentation plays a vital role in various advanced applications, including computer vision and the analysis of medical, topographical, and astronomical images. Given that there is no universal segmentation method guaranteeing optimal performance for all cases, selecting an appropriate technique for a specific type of image or application represents a complex and demanding challenge. In this work, we propose the use of Multi-Objective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEAs) as a training tool that integrates operations representative of the usual techniques and strategies in image segmentation. This allows for the generation of operation sequences adapted to specific applications or types of images. The objective functions used to guide the evolutionary process are the maximization of sensitivity (TPR) and specificity(TNR), fundamental components of ROC analysis. Experiments were conducted with multiple images sharing common characteristics from image databases, specifically: i ) benign and malignant melanoma images, ii ) ophthalmoscopic retinal images, and iii ) binary cell form images. We compared the segmentation generated by our proposed algorithm with the ideal segmentation. The results are quite promising and demonstrate the feasibility of using MOEAs to generate sequences of segmentation operations valid for specific applications.

Authors: Teixeira da Cunha Inês , Silveira Celeste , Freitas Alberto , Gonçalves Pinho Manuel
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Schizophreniform disorder manifests itself with similar symptoms to schizophrenia, but it is distinguished from the latter by its shorter duration, varying between at least one and six months. This study aimed to describe and analyze schizophreniform disorder related hospitalizations in a national hospitalization database.Methods: We planned a descriptive retrospective study using a nationwide hospitalization database containing all hospitalizations registered in Portuguese mainland public hospitals from 2008 to 2015. Hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder were selected based on the International Classification of Diseases version 9, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) code of diagnosis 295.4x. Data regarding birth date, sex, residence address, diagnoses, length of stay, discharge status, and hospital charges were obtained. Comorbidities were analyzed using the Charlson Index Score. Independent Sample t tests were performed to assess differences in continuous variables with a normal distribution and Mann-Whitney-U tests when no normal distribution was registered.Results: In Portuguese mainland public hospitals, a total of 594 hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder occurred during the eight-year study period. Most, 72.1% (n = 428), were observed in male patients. The mean age at admission was 34.34 years in male patients and 40.19 years in female patients. The median length of stay was 17.00 days and in-hospital mortality was 0.5% (n = 3). Only 6.1% (n = 36) of the hospitalization episodes had one or more registered comorbidities. Forty-one readmissions were documented.Conclusion: Hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of schizophreniform disorder occur more frequently in young male patients. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the first nationwide study analyzing all hospitalizations due to this diagnosis in Portugal.

Modulation of the ‘flinty’ aroma compound phenylmethanethiol during fermentation: impacts of yeast starter culture and nitrogen supplementation
Authors: Cordente Antonio G. , Kulcsar Allie G. , Langone Deanna , Pisaniello Lisa , Siebert Tracey E. , Bekker Marlize Z.
Published: September 2024

The sulfur compound phenylmethanethiol (PMT) has been associated with ’flinty’ and ’struck-match’ aromas in wine, and it is considered to be an important contributor to the flavour of certain white wine styles. Little is known about the factors driving the formation of this potent sulfur aroma compound during winemaking conditions, as well as the precursors/pathways that might be involved in its formation. In this study, we demonstrate that a range of practical winemaking strategies may have significant implications on the final concentration of PMT in wine. Specifically, the choice of yeast strain used to perform alcoholic fermentation was shown to modulate the formation of this ‘flinty’ compound under laboratory-scale conditions, and in the absence of oak. The nutritional level of the fermentation media was also found to significantly impact PMT formation by yeast, as nitrogen additions in the form of inorganic nitrogen promoted the formation of PMT. Finally, the potential role of both benzaldehyde and hydrogen sulfide as precursors to PMT formation was also explored, as well as the contribution of other alternative pathways.
‘Liking then CATA’ or ‘CATA then liking’? Impact of the hedonic question positioning on the wine sensory description and appreciation
Authors: Geffroy Olivier , Maza Elie , Lytra Georgia , Chervin Christian
Published: September 2024

The sequence of the questions asked in sensory testing is crucial and remains a topic of ongoing debate. This study examines the impact of question order in CATA (Check-All-That-Apply) analyses combined with hedonic evaluations, comparing two sequences: administering the liking question before the CATA question versus the reverse order. Conducted across four different times of the year, the study utilised four distinct panels and matrices of wines: two sets of red wines with various sweeteners, one set of rosé wines, and one set of white wines. The findings indicate that placing the CATA analysis before the liking question results in: (i) an enhanced product differentiation in correspondence analysis, (ii) a reduced number of panellists needed to achieve a strong dependence between products and attributes, and (iii) a greater number of significant differences in product liking scores as determined by ANOVA, compared to when the liking question precedes the CATA analysis.In summary, our findings show that positioning CATA before the liking question yields more detailed and discriminative results, at least with wines under our test conditions. This indicates a need for further research to understand the influence of question order, especially regarding the dependency between food products and their attributes.

Research on Longitudinal Control of Electric Vehicle Platoons Based on Robust UKF-MPC
Authors: Bao Jiading , Lin Zishan , Jing Hui , Feng Huanqin , Zhang Xiaoyuan , Luo Ziqiang
Published: September 2024

In a V2V communication environment, the control of electric vehicle platoons faces issues such as random communication delays, packet loss, and external disturbances. To address these issues, a robust UKF-MPC-based longitudinal control algorithm for the platoon is designed. First, a longitudinal kinematic model of the vehicle platoon is constructed, and discrete state-space equations are established. The robust UKF algorithm is derived by enhancing the UKF algorithm with Huber-M estimation. This enhanced algorithm is then used to estimate the state information of the leading vehicle. Based on the vehicle state information obtained from the robust UKF estimation, feedback correction compensation is added to the MPC algorithm to design the robust UKF-MPC longitudinal controller. Finally, The effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through CarSim/Simulink joint simulation. Simulation results show that the robust UKF-MPC longitudinal controller performs better compared to the MPC and UKF-MPC longitudinal controllers. When facing the communication delay and packet loss problems, the robust UKF-MPC longitudinal controller has higher control accuracy and less performance degradation. It has strong robustness and stability.

This paper details the approach to the efficient design and optimization of reversible adder and multiplier utilizing Peres gates which is a three input, three output gate. Peres gates are recognized for their universality and energy efficient properties and present an intriguing option for constructing reversible circuits. Reversible logic are characterized by its ability to uniquely determine input states from output states. The design methodology involves a cascading arrangement of Peres gates each performing a reversible XOR operation on corresponding bits of the input numbers and the carry out from the preceding stage. The paper presents a detailed schematic representation, simulation results and analysis of the proposed designs of different adders and multipliers showcasing their potential for reversible applications. The integration of Peres gates in the adder and multiplier design signifies a step forward in the exploration of reversible logic circuits and their applications in contemporary computing paradigms. The overall hardware reduction is the main achievement of this research in terms of quantum cost.
Somatic Landscape of Intracranial Epidermoid Cysts Reveals Immune-Associated Mechanistic and Potential Actionable Targets
Authors: Kondaboina Shruthi , Parrish Oscar , Parada Carolina Angelica , Ferreira Jr Manuel
Published: September 2024

Background/Objectives: Intracranial Epidermoid Cysts (IECs) are extremely rare intracranial tumors. The primary treatment is surgery; however, cyst adherence results in difficult removal; subtotal resection yields high recurrence rates. The mechanisms of IECs remain unknown, consequently, advances in treatment have fallen short. Tumor genetic profiling has rendered targets for drug development and for which FDA-approved options exist, reshaping cancer treatment. The genetics of IECs has not been explored. We applied Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in IECs to gain insights into the mechanisms of oncogenesis and identify actionable targets. Methods: We performed WES in tumor tissue and matching blood, when available. Read processing, quality control and somatic variant calling followed GATK best practices. Read alignments were also used for somatic copy-number inference. Data analyses and visualizations were conducted in R. Results: Top altered genes were associated with immune system and microenvironment, suggesting an immune evasion mechanism. Recurrent and deleterious NOTCH2 and USP8 alterations were identified in 50% and 30% of the cohort, respectively. Frequent amplifications in deubiquitinases and beta-defensins, strengthened the involvement of an immune mechanism for oncogenic transformation. Drug-gene interactions highlighted NOTCH2 as clinically relevant for which FDA-approved treatments exists. Conclusions: Top altered genes may have a role in shaping an epidermoid cyst-permissive tumor microenvironment and modulating tumor immune evasion. USP8 and NOTCH2 may be clinically relevant drivers of IECs. NOTCH2 may be an interesting candidate for drug repurposing.

This case report describes a patient who presented with clinical and radiographic features of a soft tissue sarcoma of the shoulder. Despite having a painless and relatively large mass, a biopsy and resection revealed nodular fasciitis (NF).

Conclusion:

This is an unusual case of a painless 10 cm mass that histopathologically was diagnosed as NF in the upper extremity with proximity to the axillary nerve and posterior humeral circumflex vessels. The USP6 rearrangement was helpful in confirming the diagnosis. Careful clinical, radiographic, and pathologic correlation is necessary in diagnosing these relatively rare tumors. In cases where there are discordant findings, molecular markers can be very helpful.

The snow surface is at the interface between the atmosphere and Earth. The surface of the snowpack changes due to its interaction with precipitation, wind, humidity, short- and long-wave radiation, underlying terrain characteristics, and land cover. These connections create a dynamic snow surface that impacts the energy and mass balance of the snowpack, blowing snow potential, and other snowpack processes. Despite this, the snow surface is generally considered a constant parameter in many Earth system models. Data from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Cold Land Processes Experiment (CLPX) collected in 2002 and 2003 across northern Colorado were used to investigate the spatial and temporal variability of snow surface roughness. The random roughness (RR) and fractal dimension (D) metrics used in this investigation are well correlated. However, roughness is not correlated across scales, computed here from snow roughness boards at a millimeter resolution and airborne lidar at a meter resolution. Process scale differences were found based on land cover at each of the two measurement scales, as appraised through measurements in the forest and alpine.

Authors: FaqeAbdulla Baraat Ismael
Published: September 2024

Planning is required for a successful teaching-learning process. It is like a series of related activitiesthat scaffold the learner because each step depends on the one before it. Therefore, it is believed thatraising effective teachers requires developing their planning skills. The goal of this study is to assessthe effectiveness of lesson plans developed by English language student-teachers at SalahaddinUniversity's College of Education. The written lesson plans that the preservice teachers submittedwere assessed using a checklist made up of the essential elements of good lesson planning. Thesample included 40 lesson plans that were created by preservice teachers. The chosen lesson planswere examined using quantitative content analysis, mainly descriptive statistics, to find out themean, median, and standard deviation. The findings imply that better guidance and instruction maybe needed for preservice teachers to effectively plan lessons. To write better lesson plans, pre-serviceteachers need teacher training programs. The research's conclusions showed that pre-serviceteachers are aware of the significance of lesson planning, but they encountered some challengeswhile doing so. As a result, creating a lesson plan became difficult. Further research will also enableus to learn more about how we can support the effective lesson-planning abilities of our futureteachers.

The flipped classroom method, a learner-centered approach, holds potential benefits for EFLinstruction. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach inimproving EFL learning outcomes among Iranian undergraduate students. Participants included 120undergraduate EFL learners from an institute in Isfahan. In a mixed-methods approach, studentswere randomly divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group receivedinstruction through the flipped classroom method, while the control group received traditionalclassroom instruction. Pre- and post-tests were administered to assess the participants' Englishlanguage reading comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary knowledge. In addition, a thematicanalysis was conducted on the students' responses from in-depth interviews to identify and exploreemerging patterns and themes within the data. Paired samples t-test was used to analyze the data.The experimental group demonstrated significantly higher scores on the post-test compared to thecontrol group, indicating that implementing the flipped classroom method in Iranian EFL classroomshas the potential to enhance learning outcomes and motivate students. This study provides evidencefor the effectiveness of the flipped classroom approach in improving EFL learning outcomes amongIranian undergraduate students. Further research could explore the applicability of this approach indiverse cultural contexts and instructional settings. By adopting innovative, learner-centeredmethods like the flipped classroom, educators can transform EFL education and promote studentsuccess.

The paper analyzes Kisukuma colour terms focusing on associative meanings encoded in colours.Data on colours are analyzed using thematic analysis where they are grouped and organized in eightkisukuma colour terms namely: Yape- white, Yapi- black, Yaza- red, Ndilizu- green Luduhlu/yangayellow, Bhuhulu/bhululu – blue, Matalaka/madaraka- light blue and Yakhu- grey. The studyestablishes that kisukuma colour terms are enriched with different associative meanings which havemore positive than negative meanings in sense that the uses of yapi- black and yaza- red are mostlynegative. In contrast, yape-white colour, luduluh- yellow and ndilizu- green colour mostly havepositive associative meanings, bhuhulu/bhululu- blue, Matalaka/madaraka- light blue and yakhugrey had narrow meanings which were positive.
Proposta Inovadora para Instrumento de Evidenciação do Resultado Financeiro: O Caso de uma Indústria do Setor Moveleiro

Published: September 2024

Consideradas como o setor mais dinâmico da economia, em 2023 as micro e pequenas empresas produziram 30% do PIB brasileiro, constituíam 99% do total de entidades privadas e foram responsáveis por 55% do total de empregos formais, tendo entre 2010 e 2023 aumentado seu número de 3 para 22 milhões de pequenos negócios. Contudo, dados do SEBRAE mostram elevado nº de negócios fechados precocemente pela falta de conhecimentos sobre administração financeira e gestão de fluxo de caixa. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o processo de evidenciação do resultado financeiro de uma pequena organização do setor moveleiro localizada no Oeste Catarinense, com faturamento próximo de R$ 2 milhões, propondo uma nova metodologia para controle de Fluxo de Caixa numa perspectiva eminentemente gerencial. Trata-se de uma pesquisa aplicada cuja coleta de dados consistiu de análise documental sobre informações financeiras da empresa, baseando-se na metodologia proposta pelo Pronunciamento Contábil CPC 3, usando evidências de um período total de 2 meses. Os resultados apontam para a indisponibilidade de informações de qualidade para a gerência, já que a empresa possui um software para demonstrações contábeis, porém os dados não eram alimentados no sistema, levando a um descontrole financeiro, após o que foi elaborada uma nova metodologia de controle baseada no CPC 3, e que poderá ser construída na forma de uma planilha contábil no aplicativo MS-Excel® 2013. Conclui-se que o objetivo da presente pesquisa foi cumprido, sendo que a planilha contábil eletrônica a ser elaborada poderá ser adaptada para empresas similares
Inovações na Gestão de Recursos Humanos: Afetos, Cognição e a Construção da Felicidade nas Organizações, e o Conceito da Teia Invisível
Authors: Soares Angela Maria
Published: September 2024

A dinâmica da cognição e dos afetos atua diretamente na construção da felicidade dentro das organizações, e revela-se como um processo complexo e profundamente interligado. A cognição, com base na estruturação do conhecimento, das percepções e das crenças, molda como os indivíduos interpretam e reagem às suas experiências no ambiente de trabalho. Por outro lado, os afetos, que envolvem uma ampla gama de emoções e sentimentos, influenciam diretamente a maneira como as pessoas vivenciam suas interações e desempenhos no contexto organizacional. A intersecção entre cognição e afetos é particularmente relevante para a construção da felicidade organizacional, já que as emoções podem influenciar processos cognitivos, como a tomada de decisões e a resolução de problemas, enquanto as percepções cognitivas podem modular a intensidade e a frequência dos afetos experimentados. Essa dinâmica mútua indica que a promoção de um ambiente de trabalho saudável e estimulante deve considerar tanto a melhoria das condições cognitivas, como a comunicação clara e as oportunidades de desenvolvimento, quanto a gestão dos afetos, por meio de apoio emocional e incentivos à cultura de reconhecimento. Dessa forma, este trabalho tem como objetivo principal apresentar as bases para uma ferramenta organizacional inovadora, voltada a compreender como a cognição e os afetos interagem para moldar a felicidade nas organizações, que mostra-se essencial para o desenvolvimento de estratégias eficazes para a promoção do bem-estar e da produtividade dos colaboradores.

A gestão de conflitos em instituições de ensino superior, especialmente em ambientes tecnológicos, é um desafio significativo. Este estudo explora o papel da psicologia social na mediação de conflitos no ensino tecnológico do IFRR - Campus Boa Vista/RR, por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa que incluiu entrevistas semiestruturadas com 23 participantes, entre estudantes, professores e gestores, além de grupos focais. A análise de conteúdo revelou que os conflitos acadêmicos são agravados pela falta de capacitação dos educadores para mediação, impactando o ambiente escolar. Professores apontaram a necessidade de formação contínua em mediação de conflitos, enquanto alunos destacaram a importância de uma intervenção mais ativa dos docentes. As discussões evidenciam que a implementação de estratégias de mediação fundamentadas na psicologia social é essencial para promover um ambiente de aprendizagem colaborativo e acolhedor, alinhando as expectativas dos envolvidos. O estudo indica a necessidade de políticas educacionais que priorizem a mediação de conflitos, capacitando educa-dores a lidar eficazmente com dinâmicas de interação social no contexto acadêmico.
