Authors: Ridwan Mochamad , Zhuka Erika Mahardini , Haqiyah Aridhotul , Zakaria Jaffry
Published: December 2024

Background. The rise in cardiovascular diseases has necessitated implementing effective interventions to improve cardiorespiratory endurance.
Objectives. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of interval training (IT), particulary high-intensity interval training (HIIT), in enhancing cardiorespiratory endurance across various demographics. IT, characterized by high-intensity exercise followed by recovery periods, has gained attention for its potential to improve key cardiovascular markers such as VO₂max and cardiovascular efficiency.
Materials and methods. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using multiple databases, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. From 893 initially screened articles, eight studies met the inclusion criteria. These studies examined the effects of IT, especially HIIT, on cardiorespiratory endurance across various population groups, including sedentary individuals, athletes, and older adults. Metrics such as VO₂max and cardiovascular efficiency were the primary outcomes measured.
Results. The findings indicate that IT, especially HIIT, consistently improves VO₂max and overall cardiovascular fitness in diverse populations. HIIT has been observed to outperform moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) in generating faster cardiovascular adaptations. Despite its benefits, the high intensity of IT requires careful individualization to mitigate the risk of injury, particularly in populations with lower baseline fitness levels.
Conclusions. This review concludes that IT is an effective and time-efficient method for improving cardiorespiratory endurance. It should be considered a viable option in both clinical and athletic populations. However, further research is recommended to investigate the long-term safety of HIIT in high-risk populations and to enhance adherence to these exercise protocols.

The so-called cross-modal correspondence effect is a special case of multisensory integration; it manifests as faster and more accurate responses to simultaneously presented stimuli of different modalities that are congruent in certain features (e.g., high-pitch sound – high spatial location), as opposed to incongruent ones. This study assessed the extent to which individual emotional characteristics – both transient (induced emotional states) and stable (cognitive strategies of emotional regulation) – could influence the mechanisms of this effect. We tested whether (1) specific psychophysiological variables (as biomarkers of induced emotional states) could predict the magnitude of the cross-modal (audiovisual) correspondence effect and (2) this magnitude could be related to manifestation of various emotion regulation strategies. Participants (N = 27) filled out an emotion regulation questionnaire and watched videos invoking positive, negative, or neutral emotional states before completing the main task, in which they were presented with tones of lower and higher frequency (1000 and 2000 Hz) and written words that differed in emotional valence and were associated with different parts of vertical space. Their task was to identify the pitch (low/high) of the presented sound. To assess participants’ emotional states psychophysiologically, electrical skin conductance and photoplethysmogram were recorded continuously throughout the experiment. Two way mixed ANOVA and linear regression were used for data analysis. We found that psychophysiological indices diverged depending on the intended valence (negative/positive) of emotional videos; however, they could not predict the magnitude of the cross-modal correspondence effect. Positive refocusing and rumination strategies predicted the dynamics of psychophysiological indicators, whilst none of emotion regulation strategies modulated the magnitude of the cross-modal correspondence effect. The present results should be taken with due caution in light of potential type II errors and are open to alternative interpretations, which should be addressed in future research.

Life Kinetic Exercise Protocol Summary The Life Kinetic (LK) exercise protocol applied in this study was designed to enhance cognitive and motor coordination through structured activities. The protocol was implemented over 8 weeks, with participants engaging in three sessions per week (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays) between 15:00–17:00 in an indoor sports hall. The exercises included the following components: Diagonal Ball Catching: Participants used two small balls, throwing them into the air parallelly and catching them with crossed hands, alternating hand positions in subsequent throws. Targeted Ball Throwing with Eyes Closed: Participants aimed to throw a ball into a small box held by another participant from a 5-meter distance, first estimating the distance and trajectory with eyes open before executing the throw with eyes closed. Cognitive Counting with Ball Activities: Participants simultaneously performed ball passing and catching exercises while solving a counting task involving addition and subtraction. Ball Exchange During Pass: Participants exchanged balls in mid-air while performing a ground pass to a partner, requiring attention to both airborne and ground-level trajectories. Target Ball Catching: Participants identified and caught a uniquely colored ball among several thrown into the air, enhancing reaction and focus. Color and Number Identification Exercise: Participants moved between colored and numbered circles while performing ball juggling tasks, dropping the ball at the specified circle based on a directive. These activities combined motor and cognitive challenges, adhering to the principle of maintaining a 60% success threshold to stimulate brain activity and prevent memorization of routines. This protocol was designed to promote neuroplasticity, enhance motivation, and improve imagery capabilities through diverse, engaging, and cognitively stimulating activities.

Authors: Kırkgeçit Muhammet , Yüksel Zafer , Kesilmez Emrullah Cem , Türkoğlu Hasan
Published: December 2024

Objective: Arachnoid cysts are benign lesions frequently encountered owing to the widespread use of neuroimaging. Although they are usually asymptomatic, they can cause various symptoms depending on the location of the cyst, its size, and its effect on the flow of the CSF. If they are symptomatic, surgical intervention may be required. Herein, we aimed to investigate the incidence, clinical findings, follow-up, and management of arachnoid cysts in patients in the context of the literature.

Material and Methods: Between January 2017 and December 2022, the brain magnetic resonance images (MRI) of 30073 patients were examined in our hospital; 751 patients with arachnoid cysts were identified. The demographic characteristics, cyst location and size, clinical symptoms, follow-up, and treatment processes of these patients were examined.

Results: Overall, 218 patients (29%) were aged ≤18 years, and 533 (71%) were aged >18 years. The incidence of arachnoid cysts was 5.3% in the ≤18 years age group and 2% in the >18 years age group. The incidence of arachnoid cysts in the general population was 2.5%. In terms of sex distribution, 351 patients (47%) were women and 400 patients (53%) were men, with the incidence of arachnoid cysts being two times more common in men than in women. The distribution of the cases according to localization revealed that arachnoid cysts were detected most commonly in the posterior fossa (n=330; 44%), Sylvian fissure (n=226; 30%), cerebral convexity (n=100: 13%), and more than one location (n=74; 9.9%). Data regarding follow-up imaging were available for 298 patients. No significant increase in the size of the cyst was observed during follow-up.

Conclusion: Arachnoid cysts are commonly observed during neuroimaging. Although there is a consensus regarding the diagnosis of arachnoid cysts and follow-up of asymptomatic patients, larger case series are warranted to standardize the use of advanced examinations for treating symptomatic patients and selecting appropriate surgical techniques.

Application of vibration signals as independent and alternative information channels to support the reliability of positioning and prediction systems for transport means movement
Authors: Burdzik Rafał
Published: December 2024

One of the most important aspects affecting both the safety and reliability of transport systems is the issue of proper positioning of moving transport means in the context of tracking their location while moving within the transport network. Therefore, this article presents the issue of the importance of information for the operational reliability of a selected subsystem related to the detection of a rail vehicle before a railway-road crossing, which is a critical infrastructure element and a particularly dangerous element in the transport network. The article presents an original and own vibration method for predicting the movement of a transport means, using the example of early identification of approaching rail vehicles. Redundant information can be significant for the operational reliability of safety systems in transport. In this aspect, reliable and continuous, and above all, independent information flow is crucial, even at the cost of system redundancy.
An Interpolator, Providing High Accuracy of Industrial Robot’s End-Effector Speed. Part I
Authors: Larichev D. V. , Romanov M. P. , Romanov A. M.
Published: December 2024

The interpolator is one of the critical components of contour control systems for industrial robots, which significantly affects their accuracy. In such technological tasks as welding, laser cutting, coating, and surfacing, in addition to the spatial accuracy of the robot’s end-effector, the accuracy of its velocity during motion along complex trajectories plays an important role. In this paper, we propose a new approach for solving the interpolation problem of a multi-axis industrial robot based on the В-splines. The proposed algorithms can be easily adapted for robots with any kinematics, generating the current, velocity, and position setpoints for the control loops of each of its actuators. А software implementation of the offline interpolator based on the proposed algorithms was developed and executed on В&R Industrial Automation GmbH industrial controllers. During the experimental studies performed on a manipulation robot with SCARA kinematic scheme, it was demonstrated that the developed algorithmic solutions outperform the standard interpolator of В&R industrial robot control systems, exceeding it up to 2 times in terms of spatial accuracy and up to 4 times in terms of root mean square velocity deviation. The maximum deviation of the tool’s velocity using the developed algorithms did not exceed 2.4 mm/s, comparable to the results of the most modern planar solutions based on NURBS curves. At the same time, unlike their planar analogs, the solutions proposed in this paper are suitable for multidimensional interpolation. In this part of the paper, we describe the algorithms of the developed multi-axis interpolator.

Sex differences in systemic inflammatory response in hypoxia-resistant Wistar rats
Authors: Kosyreva Anna M. , Dzhalilova Julia Sh. , Tsvetkov Ivan S. , Makarova Olga V.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND: Individual differences in hypoxia tolerance and hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) expression were identified in humans and laboratory animals. This was the basis for identifying groups of animals with low and high hypoxia tolerance. Animals with low hypoxia tolerance are known to have a more severe course of systemic inflammatory response (SIR). Sex differences in the severity of SIR in low hypoxia-tolerant animals have not been studied.
AIM: The aim was to evaluate sex differences in the severity of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced SIR in Wistar rats with low hypoxia tolerance.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Low hypoxia-tolerant animals were determined by their survival time in a hypobaric chamber under conditions equivalent to 11,500 m altitude (less than 60 s). The SIR was modeled by intraperitoneal administration of LPS at 1.5 mg/kg. Morphological changes in the lungs, liver, and thymus, as well as serum levels of endotoxin, corticosterone, HIF-1α, and TGF-β, were evaluated in males and females after 24 hours.
RESULTS: In control groups of low hypoxia tolerant rats, higher serum levels of HIF-1α, corticosterone and endotoxin were found in females compared to males. Compared to females, males usually have a higher thymic cortical volume fraction and lower subcapsular thickness. When LPS was administered to low hypoxia-tolerant females and males, sex differences in the severity of SIR were revealed. For example, in females, 24 hours after LPS administration, the neutrophil count in pulmonary interalveolar septa was higher, and random thymic involution with subcapsular zone narrowing developed without changing cortical volume fraction. Males demonstrated large abnormal lesions in the liver and more significant manifestations of accidental involution with a decrease in thymic cortical volume fraction. Serum corticosterone levels increased in females with SIR, and HIF-1α and endotoxin levels increased and TGF-β levels decreased in males.
CONCLUSION: LPS-induced SIR and immune responses in low hypoxia-tolerant Wistar rats depend on sex.
Capturing Broadband Spectral Characteristics of Moderate-Size Earthquakes Using Nearby Recordings: A Case Study of 42 Mw 4.0–5.4 Ridgecrest Earthquakes
Authors: Ji Chen , Archuleta Ralph J. , Peyton Aaron
Published: December 2024

Characterizing the information in earthquake source spectra requires three measures: seismic moment M0, apparent stress σa, and stress parameter ΔσB. We estimate σa and ΔσB for 42 Ridgecrest, California, earthquakes (4.0≤Mw≤5.4), using three-component records within 50 km to minimize path effects. We analyze the data in both the time and frequency domains. We account for the depth dependence of source velocity and density and calibrate the results using observations at a rock site. Time-domain analysis for σa reveals significant apparent crustal attenuation (∝r−1.6, in which r is the centroid distance) and large site amplifications. In the frequency domain, we estimate near-surface impedance as a function of frequency at each station. We conduct a grid search with F-tests to constrain a frequency-dependent crustal Q model (Q(f)=q0fα) and site attenuation constant κ0 for each station, assuming a ω−2 model. The global best model has q0=60, α=0.675, with κ0 ranging from 0.01 to 0.05 s. σa and ΔσB were estimated using corrected observations. The σa values from both time- and frequency-domain analyses are in excellent agreement, ranging from 0.09 to 2.7 MPa with a geometric mean of 0.59 MPa. ΔσB ranges from 0.27 to 6.9 MPa with a geometric mean of 1.8 MPa. The ratio of ΔσB and σa (∼3.0) suggests the source spectrum in this magnitude range is close to a single-corner spectral model. We find both σa and ΔσB increase quickly with centroid depth that cannot be explained with depth-dependent crustal attenuation. Geometric mean values for σaF and ΔσB for earthquakes with centroid depths of ≥6 km are 0.92 and 2.91 MPa, respectively, approximately fourfold the values for earthquakes with centroid depths <6 km. Considering the significant impact to near-fault strong ground motion, the cause of this sharp transition deserves further investigation.
Seismic Site Characterization and Region-Specific Seismic Site Parameter Relationships of Essex County, Ontario, Canada
Authors: Sharma Hema , Molnar Sheri
Published: December 2024

We perform a multimethod in situ seismic field campaign to assess variability in local site conditions throughout Essex County, Ontario, Canada. Fundamental peak frequencies (f0HV) determined at 86 sites from microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios (MHVSRs) increase southward from Windsor (∼1.7 Hz) to Amherstburg (>4 Hz) and eastward within Amherstburg (up to 17 Hz). We determine similar VS for individual subsurface layers at the 11 array sites from constrained shear wave velocity (VS) depth (z) profiles obtained by joint inversion of the site’s fundamental-mode Rayleigh-wave dispersion curve and f0HV. This indicates that the spatial variation in f0HV is driven primarily by the resonator depth, which shallows southward. We compile our 11 noninvasive VS depth profiles with an additional 86 VS profiles from previous invasive field testing, to develop a VS–depth relationship for Essex County’s postglacial sediments. Use of most other VS–z relationships available in eastern Canada underpredict the fundamental site frequency in Essex County because the average VS typical of those regions is lower. We find that the velocities for Montreal and Charlevoix (Canada) are closest to the velocities of our study area and consistent with Holocene alluvium deposits in the U.S. Geological Survey national crustal model. Compilation of in situ measurements at 172 sites throughout Essex County enables determination of three region-specific predictive relationships of important seismic site characterization metrics that are applied to generate regional seismic microzonation maps.

Published: December 2024

Nowadays, managing and allocating resources for projects has become increasingly essential for managers. A critical factor affecting the success of a project is the work assignment plan for workers to optimize the completion time. Current solutions to project scheduling problems have not been thoroughly addressed; thus, in this study, we model the labor assignment process in project production as a scheduling problem. To solve this problem, we use an improved genetic algorithm named GA-RT (Genetic Algorithm with Random Crossover and Negative Tournament Selection) and conduct experiments on the iMOPSE standard dataset. Experimental results show that the proposed GA-RT algorithm can effectively solve the project scheduling problem, achieving better performance compared to existing algorithms.

A partir de cuatro hitos, se pone de manifiesto un cambio significativo que apunta en dos direcciones: por un lado, se nos presentan formas de vida y de inteligencia que difieren de las humanas; por el otro, este cambio supone la transición de una visión antropocéntrica a una concepción biocéntrica o ecocéntrica.

El estudio de la vida y la salud se centra en reconocer las particularidades y excepciones. Este enfoque apunta en dos direcciones: primero, poner atención en los procesos emergentes, autoorganizativos y enactivos; y segundo, priorizar las experiencias sobre la escala reflexiva o intelectual.
An Ontological Relation Between Priesthood and Celibacy?
Authors: Balog Petro
Published: December 2024

For centuries, the nature of the Catholic priesthood has been and continues to be the subject of theological debate. Among other things, this article discusses the connection between celibacy and the sacrament of priesthood. Some theologians claim that there is an ontological connection between celibacy and ordination. This article examines such a claim, trying to answer the question: is celibacy really ontologically connected to priesthood and is there an ontological change in the person who receives this sacrament, which necessarily includes celibacy? Based on the analysis, the author concludes that priestly ordination cannot cause an ontological change in a person, and therefore, celibacy is not ontologically connected to ordination either.
Antoni Kępiński’s Integral Anthropology
Authors: Saszko Irena
Published: December 2024

Anthony Kempinski (1918–1972) – the most famous Polish psychiatrist and philosopher; founder of the model of axiological psychiatry, according to which human behavior is regulated by a hierarchy of values, author of the theory of energy-information metabolism.
This article describes the integral vision of the human person by Antoni Kempinski, as well as the specifics of his therapeutic approaches as a psychiatrist. Therefore, to define its anthropological principles, the concept of “integral anthropology” was formulated. It is claimed that the basis of Antoni Kempinski’s anthropology is energetic-informational metabolism. If energy metabolism is subject to two biological laws: the preservation of life and the preservation of species, the information metabolism is associated with the subconscious (feelings) and consciousness (intellect and will). For Kempinski, man is an informational-energic, meaning psychosomatic integrity endowed with a spiritual element, as well as called to a mature, deep and lasting relationship with his environment, through which he can occur as a person. Any deviations at the level of energetic-informational metabolism lead to his mental disorders. Thus, a person can decide about their attitude towards the environment thanks to their biological conscience, which distinguishes the human person from the whole world of living organisms.

The purpose of this study is the observation of coherent resonance phenomenon in two microwave single-mode chaos generators with a delayed feedback under external noise influence. The first generator is a vacuum chaos generator based on a traveling wave tube and a multi-resonator drift klystron. The second generator is a solid-state chaos generator based on a transistor amplifier and a spin-wave transmission line supporting a magnetostatic surface wave (MSSW) propagation. The chaotic dynamics of the vacuum generator is caused by the presence of a falling section on the amplitude characteristic of the drift klystron. In the solid-state generator, the development of chaotic dynamics is associated with a nonlinear parametric three-wave decay of the MSSW into short-wave spin waves.

Methods. To observe the coherent resonance phenomenon in single chaotic oscillators (the microwave chaos generators), the time filtering method under the noise influence with a limited frequency band is used. The method is based on the effect of forced chaos synchronization (through its suppression) by external noise. The proposed method has the greatest efficiency in frequency separation of the power spectra of chaotic and noise signals (the power spectra of both signals should not overlap).

Results. In the studied microwave chaos generators of various physical natures, the existence of the “on-off” intermittency mode, in that the coherent resonance phenomenon is observed, has been experimentally established. It has been shown that the autocorrelation time of the envelope of a chaotic MW signal has a maximum value at a certain power level of the noise MW signal, and this maximum value depends on the noise MW signal bandwidth.

Conclusion. The developed method for the coherent resonance observation can also be applied to the multimode (broadband) ring chaos generators with the delayed feedback.

Estudiar los efectos de una población cada vez más envejecida es crucial, pero se encuentra escasamente estudiado en el sector turístico. Este trabajo utiliza análisis descriptivos y regresiones logísticas multinomiales para hallar los factores explicativos del gasto de los mayores en hostelería y ocio antes y durante la pandemia COVID-19, con datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística de España, empleando muestras de población adulta y anciana en 2019 y 2020. Los resultados sugieren que la renta, el número y situación laboral de los miembros del hogar y el número de viviendas aumentan las posibilidades de gastar más, al contrario que el tamaño del municipio de residencia; la variable sexo no fue concluyente.
Examining the Relationships Between Destination Image, Tourist Satisfaction, Gastro Tourism Attitudes and Repeat Recommendation Intentions: The Case of Istanbul
Authors: Önal Şeyhanlıoğlu Hasan , Hasoğlu Merve
Published: December 2024

El objetivo de esta investigación es determinar los efectos de la imagen del destino, la satisfacción del turista, las actitudes gastronómicas y las intenciones de revisita de los turistas extranjeros alojados en hoteles de cinco estrellas de Estambul. En la investigación se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta, uno de los métodos de investigación cuantitativa. Se obtuvieron 402 cuestionarios de turistas extranjeros. Se realizó un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales con los datos obtenidos mediante el programa Amos. Según los resultados de la investigación, la conclusión clave es que, si bien existe un efecto positivo entre la imagen del destino y las actitudes gastronómicas y la satisfacción del turista, no hay ningún efecto entre las actitudes gastronómicas y la intención de volver a visitar el destino.

UM POUCO DE ANORMALIDADE PARA NÃO SUFOCAR: ENSAIOS E FABULAÇÕES SOBRE ESCOLA, APRENDIZAGEM E VIDA
Authors: Linhares Marcos Allan da Silva , Sílvia Nogueira Chaves
Published: December 2024

Quem estará presente em uma educação de fim de mundo? Como serão as escolas? Quem serão os sujeitos que, após todas as transformações e modificações terrenas, conseguirão resistir e (re)inventar uma educação para os finais, os encerramentos? O que eles nos ensinarão? Quais lições poderemos aprender (e ensinar) com esses seres-professores em nossos cotidianos de vida? Esse texto, que é parte de uma pesquisa de mestrado procura problematizar como os anormais são produzidos na escola. Aqui de forma especial e fabulativa, contamos a história de Arthur, um aluno que desembarca da Nau dos Loucos para educar o Professor Bacamarte a largar “o ensinar” e apostar em um “aprender junto” numa escola para o abandono. Sonhamos com uma escola para o abandono. Uma escola em que todos possam ser o que quiserem, inclusive nada. Uma escola que recuse as padronizações, as classificações e os diagnósticos predeterminados para dar lugar as cores, aos sonhos, aos desejos, a um fazer junto que crie uma nova forma de estar, de existir e de se relacionar na escola.
AGÊNCIA E POSSIBILIDADES CONTRA-HEGEMÔNICAS DE FUTURIDADE: UMA REVISÃO SOBRE O CAMPO DA EDUCAÇÃO EM CIÊNCIAS
Authors: Silva Letícia , Martins Isabel
Published: December 2024

Neste trabalho, foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica narrativa que buscou analisar de que maneira a literatura de pesquisa em educação em ciências recente vem tratando a formação na educação básica direcionada à agência diante de um mundo com perspectivas de futuro incerto. Com base em artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos, esta investigação foi posta como alicerce para pensar a participação do ensino de ciências no direcionamento da educação ao que pode ser concebido como uma tentativa de “adiar o fim do mundo”. A discussão foi situada nos debates do campo de Estudos de Futuro e do Afrofuturismo como potenciais influências para a construção de horizontes de debate sobre a construção de futuros. Os resultados mostram proeminência das questões ambientais e de discursos de organismos multilaterais, além de apelos à fuga das narrativas únicas na construção de imagens sobre o futuro como forma de resistir no presente.
A POTÊNCIA DO SORRIR

Como pensar uma educação (matemática) capaz de adiar o fim do mundo? A partir do sorriso afirmador com a perspectiva nietzschiana, propomos uma escrita que se tornou possível mediante o encontro com estudantes de um quarto ano, em uma cidade brasileira. A partir de sentidos e significados produzidos em aulas de matemática, com utilização de recursos tecnológicos e a inserção de modos de pensar equacionamentos, perspectivamos maneiras – sorridentes – de produzir e estar com uma educação matemática. Com as escritas das e dos estudantes – através de um poema – afirmamos e sorrimos com uma educação matemática e uma escola básica – e pública - no exercício de inventariar educações (matemáticas) para adiar o fim do mundo.
A “EXPERIÊNCIA DE SI” NAS BIONARRATIVAS SOCIAIS E SUA RELAÇÃO COM A BIODIVERSIDADE LOCAL E A FORMAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES DE CIÊNCIAS/BIOLOGIA
Authors: SILVA MICHAEL LUCIANO DAS GRACAS SILVA , SEITHI KATO DANILO
Published: December 2024

Resumo: No cenário contemporâneo da Educação, a formação de professores desempenha um papel crucial na preparação de sujeitos preparados a lidar com a diversidade cultural presentes nas salas de aula. A área de formação de professores de Ciências, em particular, enfrenta o desafio de integrar o conhecimento científico, em constante mudança, com abordagens pedagógicas sensíveis à interculturalidade. Diante dessa realidade, o objetivo do artigo é analisar a “experiência de si” em uma bionarrativas sociais (BIONAS), relacionando biodiversidade local e a formação de professores de ciências/biologia. A BIONAS selecionada é intitulada “Não somos um catálogo! professor de biologia XY gay”, criada por um egresso do curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFOPA). O procedimento metodológico foi a análise do discurso à luz de Volóchinov e seu Círculo e Larrosa. Foram analisados enunciados que elucidam a relação da “experiência de si” do licenciando ao pensar sua biodiversidade local e o seu processo de formação de professor. Como resultado, foi percebido que a resistência expressa na BIONAS pode ser vista como uma tentativa de reivindicar a experiência própria em contraposição a uma narrativa hegemônica que desconsidera a riqueza da biodiversidade local e dos saberes populares.

OUTRAMUNDAR PARA ADIAR O FIM DO MUNDO
Authors: De Lima Mittmann Veronica , Glavam Duarte Claudia
Published: December 2024

Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar o animismo infantil como possibilidade para outramundar neste mundo. Vivemos um momento de esgotamento físico, emocional e ambiental. Já entendemos que não poderemos continuar a tratar os não humanos da maneira como temos feito há algumas centenas de anos e principalmente, no último século. Nesse sentido, o animismo infantil viabilizado pelo devir-criança entende que os não humanos seriam dotados de vontade, de capacidade de escolha e de decisão e não meros recursos para uso humano. Assim, o animismo infantil possibilita uma outra relação com animais, plantas e coisas, que viabiliza a construção de outros mundos neste mundo. Com isso, o animismo infantil possibilita a cosmopolítica, isto é, fazer política com todos, humanos e não humanos, para criar uma sociedade, em que os não humanos também sejam sujeitos de direito.
POR UMA DOCÊNCIA AMAZÔNIDA DA ESCUTA
Authors: Oliveira Caroline Barroncas de , Costa Mônica de Oliveira , Aikawa Monica Silva , Correia Stivisson Menezes
Published: December 2024

A proposição de formação de professores para a contemporaneidade se caracteriza pela dualidade entre corpo e alma e exaure os próprios sentidos da vida. Nesse sentido, este trabalho pretende contemplar o adiamento do fim do mundo a partir de encontros do corpo-sonoridade amazônida e da constituição da escuta pelo viés da filosofia da diferença. Em um estágio docência de um mestrando em Educação em Ciências na Amazônia, mobilizamos experimenta(sons) no estagiar e criamos possibilidades de encontros de um corpo-sonoridade amazônida. Em uma perspectiva ética da escuta, retomamos a singularização do processo de aprender para constituir uma docência amazônida por vias múltiplas. A docência amazônida da escuta é habitada pela turbulência e pela instabilidade de corpos-sonoridade e exige disponibilidade para o acontecimento.
UMA OFICINA DE PALHAÇARIA COM CRIANÇAS: POSSIBILIDADES PARA APRENDIZAGENS INVENTIVAS PARA ADIAR FINS DE MUNDO
Authors: Silveira Berned Igor , CASTRO DE MELLO CAROLINE , MARIA HOEPERS PREVE ANA
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo resulta dos registros de uma pesquisa/intervenção de doutorado em educação relacionada a uma oficina de palhaçaria, realizada com crianças em uma comunidade de aprendizagem. Na oficina, buscou-se criar situações em que a aprendizagem das técnicas, durante os improvisos e jogos, favorecesse a manifestação das singularidades das crianças. Nesta cartografia estamos interessados nas aprendizagens inventivas conforme Kastrup (2007). Ao dialogarmos com as concepções do ambientalista Ailton Krenak questionamos, como oficineiros e palhaços (as), se o riso pode vir a ser uma proposta para adiar fins de mundo. E se já estamos caindo, será possível rir da própria queda? Ousamos acreditar na potência dos encontros.
RELATOS DE UM PROJETO DE CIÊNCIA CIDADÃ COMO PROPOSTA DE EDUCAÇÃO PARA ADIAR O FIM DO MUNDO

Published: December 2024

A ciência cidadã é uma proposta metodológica fundamentada no compartilhamento de conhecimento a partir da coleta e análise de dados por meio de protocolos validados por pesquisadores e cidadãos cientistas. Por ser um ramo da ciência aberta, segue certos preceitos, como a colaboração, o fomento da cultura científica e a promoção do engajamento público. Todo esse processo permite a tomada de decisões baseadas em ciências, integrando a experiência cotidiana para melhorar o lugar em que queremos viver. Assim, esse trabalho analisa categorias teóricas presentes no livro “Ideias para adiar o fim do mundo”, de Ailton Krenak, entre elas: a figura do cientista, o vínculo com a Terra, o impacto ambiental e o que deixaremos para as gerações futuras. A partir da aplicação de um projeto de ciência cidadã na realidade escolar, percebeu-se que os cidadãos se reconheciam no ambiente e, ao mesmo tempo, traçavam estratégias para modificar a sua realidade, despertando-os para uma nova consciência social, ambiental e de cidadania.
ALDEIA TUPIABÁ: CARTAS PARA ADIAR O FIM DO MUNDO
Authors: Rodrigues Ferreira Márcia Regina , Rodrigues Miranda Marina , Schutz Foerste Gerda Margit , Capela Leão Rafaella
Published: December 2024

O presente artigo, no âmbito do projeto Tupiabá, desafia-nos a refletir sobre as ideias de adiar o fim do mundo (Krenak, 2019). Cartas foram produzidas com o intuito de saber como os indígenas aldeados e o mundo respondiam às provocações de Krenak em plena pandemia de Covid-19. As respostas de adiar o fim do mundo representam alternativas de vida e resistência às formas genocidas, figurando como “paraquedas coloridos” em meio ao caos e à morte.  Essas escritas de si nos presentearam com histórias dos saberes da vida e da terra nas cosmogonias dos antepassados, constituindo conhecimentos valiosos para esse tempo, nas quais evidenciam cosmovisões que podem significar e recriar a vida, especialmente, abrindo canais de comunicação que contam outras histórias, muitas vezes apagadas, silenciadas, assassinadas.
“Pra que a gente consiga ser maior do que aquilo que feriu nós”

Published: December 2024

O planeta Terra vem dando indícios de um possível colapso que demonstra o quanto os ideais ocidentais de ‘progresso’ e ‘desenvolvimento’ tendem a colocar em risco todos os modos de vida. Consciente desta realidade, neste artigo, parto do trecho inicial da música “Não quero vingança” interpretada por Emicida, inter-relacionando-o com discussões que atravessam o campo da educação e propõem caminhos para a liberdade. Para isso, busco problematizar os impactos da práxis dominadora na formação humana e na atuação docente. Com base nas discussões realizadas, aponta-se para a importância da práxis autêntica na busca por ser mais e espera-se contribuir para que estejamos atentos aos desconfortos que nos motivam a provocar fissuras e micro revoluções no sistema educativo.
