This article will discuss the importance of awareness to manage household-based trash. In quantity, the volume of waste every year is always increasing, while the Final Dump (Tempat Pembuangan Sampah Akhir—TPSA) is inadequate. Seeing this condition requires awareness the waste management of importance. After being able to collect type-based waste, it will be encouraged to be given away or redeemed with primary needs that have been managed by the board of Neighborhood Association (Rukun Warga—RW). Thus the people of Barongan Jetis Bantul are helped to fulfill the basic needs by way of making the garbage. This research uses Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, a participatory action research method, which aims to identify the formulation of research problems based on the needs of the subjects studied. The end result of this study is the change for the subject itself, the action is performed as a form of research recommendation PAR. This study is interesting, considering that other studies do not focus on the subject of research, but on the wishes of the researchers themselves.[Tulisan ini hendak membicarakan pentingnya kesadaran mengelola sampah berbasis rumah tangga.

PEMBERDAYAAN BERBASIS KEMITRAAN ANTARA PEMERINTAH DENGAN KELOMPOK TANI TRI TUNGGAL WONOREJO
Authors: Ahmad Rizal Derry
Published: February 2018

This paper examines how the partnership was established between the Sleman Government and the peasant group of Tri Tunggal in Wonorejo—a policy appropriate partnership. It is known that the perceived policy sometimes turns things around with what is in the field or the right target regulations according to the needs of the community. This article is based on two theories, top-down policies and social capital as a form of organizing peasant groups. In answering the question, in fact, this article is an extension of the design of a qualitative research model that describes, analyzes, and interprets field data in a narrative way. For that, the method of interviewing, observation, and documentation is chosen to complete the data until it can be interpreted into the new meaning of science. Thus, this research has produced some interesting findings, such as government partnership to peasant group of Tri Tunggal with the approach of counseling, mentoring, and marketing of the agricultural product. As a matter of fact, the regulation is a reference for the government in empowering peasant groups.[Tulisan ini mengkaji tentang bagaimana kemitraan yang dibangun antara Pemerintah Sleman dengan Kelompok Tani Tri Tunggal Wonorejo—kemitraan yang sesuai dengan kebijakan. Diketahui bahwa kebijakan yang dipersepsikan terkadang berbalik keadaan dengan apa yang ada di lapangan atau regulasi yang tepat sasaran sesuai kebutuhan masyarakat. Artikel ini didasari atas dua teori, kebijakan yang bersifat top down dan modal sosial sebagai bentuk pengorganisasian kelompok tani. Dalam menjawab persoalan tersebut, sebetulnya, artikel ini merupakan pengembangan dari desain model penelitian kualitatif yang menggambarkan, menganalisa, dan menginterpretasikan data lapangan secara naratif. Untuk itu, metode wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi dipilih untuk melengkapi data hingga dapat ditafsirkan ke dalam makna baru keilmuan. Dengan begitu, riset ini melahirkan beberapa temuan menarik, antara lain kemitraan yang dilakukan pemerintah kepada kelompok tani Tri Tunggal dengan pendekatan penyuluhan, pendampingan, dan pemasaran hasil produksi pertanian. Sebagai dasarnya, regulasi Perda menjadi acuan bagi pemerintah dalam memberdayakan kelompok tani.]
EVALUASI PELAYANAN KESEHATAN DAN PENDIDIKAN PROGRAM KELUARGA HARAPAN (PKH)

Published: February 2018

This study seeks to a description the evaluation of health and education service of conditional cash transfers (Program Keluarga Harapan-PKH) based on an input, process, and output. It’s programme between 2016 until 2017 has been implemented in District of Jetis, Bantul. This paper demonstrates the results of the evaluation, though this results hoped input for the decision to programme repaired. This article, however, it seeks programme make good from health and education service component. Thus, I found Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) or Progam Keluarga Harapan (PKH) programme have signed for even distribution of education and accessibility for health services on simply, particularly of pregnant wife and suckle. The importance of indicators at programme successfully, data validity has been doing of maximal. So, the candidate of participant didn’t perfunctorily in this programme. Hence, participatory of people (non-candidate) in this programme, also make good of indicators, which can be interdependent of control form another side. Eventually, the candidate of their programme, if not meet a demand just like the rule of manual books on 2016, they are can the punishment of exhortation, greeting, and defeasance of the programme. I also, however, found the weakness of tease enough, i.e. the beneficiary still considers that conditional cash transfer is only for a moment’s need, not thinking about long-term interests. In turn, the process of alleviating poverty is only 'patching the wound' rather than treating it to its problem needs.[Studi ini berupaya mengkaji tentang evaluasi layanan kesehatan dan pendidikan Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) berbasis input, proses pelaksanaan, dan output pada program yang sudah berjalan di Kec. Jetis, Bantul, dari tahun 2016 hingga 2017. Tujuan evaluasi yang telah dikaji, harapannya menjadi masukan bagi penentu kebijakan (decission) untuk memperbaiki program. Tulisan ini juga melihat keberhasilan program dari komponen layanan pendidikan dan kesehatan. Saya menemukan bahwa program Conditional Cash Transfers (CTT) atau PKH memiliki signifikansi nyata dalam pemerataan pendidikan dan akses yang mudah pada layanan kesehatan, terutama bagi ibu hamil dan menyusui. Indikator penting dalam keberhasilan program ini, validitas data berjalan secara maksimal, sehingga tidak asal dalam menentukan peserta penerima bantuan. Bukti keterlibatan masyarakat (non-peserta) dalam program juga menjadi indikator keberhasilan, sehingga bisa saling mengawasi antara satu sama lain. Alhasil, peserta yang tidak memenuhi kewajiban seperti aturan dalam buku pedoman 2016, mereka akan mendapat punishment mulai dari peringatan, teguran hingga pembatalan program bantuan. Namun saya juga menemukan kelemahan yang cukup mengusik, yaitu penerima manfaat masih menganggap bahwa bantuan langsung tunai bersyarat ini hanya untuk keperluan sesaat, tidak berpikir untuk kepentingan jangka panjang. Pada gilirannya, proses pengentasan kemiskinan hanya bersifat ‘menambal luka’ bukan mengobati hingga ke akar masalahnya (based needs).]

Authors: Zulkifli Ahmad Fahim , Kulinna Pamela
Published: February 2018

Study aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a student centered curricular intervention on students’ self-efficacy and soccer skills performance. Materials and methods: One group of 25 mixed-gender students (ages 11-13) participated in this study of student centered soccer lessons twice per week (30 minutes) on a soccer field for three weeks at a Southwestern USA Middle School. The in­tervention was designed to engage students in the skill lessons by adopting a student-centered approach, and reciprocal/peer teaching of the soccer skills. Students’ self-efficacy was assessed using the modified Traits Sport-Confidence Inventory. Soccer skill performance was assessed using previously validated skill tests. Further, students’ perception of reciprocal teaching were gathered using exit slips. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t-tests to explore pre/post differences. Results: The students’ skill performance slightly improved. Students’ self-efficacy related to soccer skills was significantly higher at post-test. Students’ positively perceived the opportunities to participate in student-centered lessons and the use recip­rocal teaching styles to work together in skill development. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that seventh-grade students could learn soccer skills, develop desirable perceptions and efficacy and improve their physical activity/sport participation levels as they engaged in student-centered teaching and learning.

Authors: Zarabi Leila , Arazi Hamid , Izadi Mani
Published: February 2018

Study aim: Growth hormone, cortisol, and lactate play an effective role in regulating and stimulating the muscle building proc­ess. The current study aimed to investigate the impact of Panax ginseng supplementation on growth hormone, cortisol, and lactate response to intense resistance exercise in young female non-athletes. Materials and methods: Ten non-athlete girls participated in this double-blind counter-balanced crossover study. They were assigned to two groups: the ginseng group and the placebo group. In two 4-week periods, they received the supplement and the placebo. In the first four weeks, 5 participants received ginseng (100 mg daily) and 5 others received placebo (maltodextrin). At the end of the 4 weeks, blood samples (5 ml) were taken to measure blood levels of the factors. Afterwards, the resistance exercise protocol was implemented, and immediately after that blood samples were taken. In the second four-week period, the five participants who had taken ginseng received placebo, and the five subjects who had received placebo took ginseng. The same tests were administered again. Results: The results showed that except for cortisol in the ginseng group, there were significant pre - to post-exercise changes for all 3 indicators in both groups. No significant difference was observed in pre - to post-exercise changes in the levels of GH (p = 0.71), cortisol (p = 0.34), or lactate (p = 0.90) between groups. Conclusions: 100 mg ginseng consumption daily for 4 weeks does not have an impact on the response of GH, cortisol, or lac­tate to high-intensity resistance exercise in young female non-athletes.
Paraspinal muscle hypotrophy and chronic discogenic low back pain
Authors: Truszczyńska-Baszak Aleksandra , Krauze Bruno , Tarnowski Adam
Published: February 2018

Study aim: Low back pain is accompanied by deconditioning of trunk muscles due to pain limiting patients’ physical activity, but so far it has not been explained whether the changes in the structure of muscles are the cause of disc disease or its result. The aim of the study was to analyze the prevalence of segmental paraspinal muscle hypotrophy in patients with chronic low back pain and sciatica. Material and methods: The study involved magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 40 patients: 20 women and 20 men aged from 30 to 47, mean 39.51 ± 3.73 years, with single level disc extrusion at L4-L5. The entire cross-sectional area of the par­aspinal muscles, the adipose tissue area in the paraspinal muscles and the extensor muscle tissue area at the level of L4-L5 were measured and compared with the healthy L3-L4 level. T2-weighted axial slices were used to facilitate distinguishing between the muscle and the fat tissue. Results: Fat tissue ingrowth and paravertebral muscle tissue hypotrophy at the disc extrusion level were highly statistically significant (p < 0.001) compared to the healthy level. Conclusions: 1. Ingrowth of the adipose tissue into the muscle tissue occurs only at the level of disc extrusion. 2. It seems rea­sonable to introduce strengthening exercises after the resolution of pain in order to rebuild the muscles of the spine.

The effective development and dissemination of the open integration for the next generation of operating rooms require a comprehensive testing environment. In this paper, we present the various challenges to be addressed in demonstration applications, and we discuss the implementation approach, the foci of the demonstration sites and the evaluation efforts. Overall, the demonstrator setups have proven the feasibility of the service-oriented medical device architecture (SOMDA) and real-time approaches with a large variety of example applications. The applications demonstrate the potentials of open device interoperability. The demonstrator implementations were technically evaluated as well as discussed with many clinicians from various disciplines. However, the evaluation is still an ongoing research at the demonstration sites. Technical evaluation focused on the properties of a network of medical devices, latencies in data transmission and stability. A careful evaluation of the SOMDA design decisions and implementations are essential to a safe and reliable interoperability of integrated medical devices and information technology (IT) system in the especially critical working environment. The clinical evaluation addressed the demands of future users and stakeholders, especially surgeons, anesthesiologists, scrub nurses and hospital operators. The opinions were carefully collected to gain further insights into the potential benefits of the technology and pitfalls in future work.
Congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunts: a potential cause for early-onset neonatal cholestasis
Authors: Narang Radhika , Patel Minal , Tipnis Neelesh Ajit , Tipnis Sajani Matai
Published: February 2018

Cholestasis in the first days of life is uncommon in neonates. Neonatal cholestasis is usually associated with shock, sepsis, alloimmunity, metabolic disorders or biliary obstruction. A congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt results from failed involution of primordial liver vessels during the first days of life. Resulting shunts can lead to hepatic encephalopathy or liver tumors. A congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt should be considered when an alternative explanation cannot be found. In most cases, congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunts will involute spontaneously by 1–2 years of age; however, surgical or radiologic closure may be needed.
Dif-in-Dif Estimators of Multiplicative Treatment Effects
Authors: Ciani Emanuele , Fisher Paul
Published: February 2018

We consider a difference-in-differences setting with a continuous outcome. The standard practice is to take its logarithm and then interpret the results as an approximation of the multiplicative treatment effect on the original outcome. We argue that a researcher should rather focus on the non-transformed outcome when discussing causal inference. The first step should be to decide whether the time trend is more likely to hold in multiplicative or level form. If the former, it is preferable to estimate an exponential model by Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood, which does not require statistical independence of the error term. Running OLS on the log-linearised model might instead lead to confounding distributional and mean changes. We illustrate the argument with a simulation exercise.
Model of depositing layer on cylindrical surface produced by induction-assisted laser cladding process
Authors: Kotlan Václav , Hamar Roman , Pánek David , Doležel Ivo
Published: February 2018

A model of hybrid cladding on a cylindrical surface is built and numerically solved. Heating of both substrate and the powder material to be deposited on its surface is realized by laser beam and preheating inductor. The task represents a hard-coupled electromagnetic-thermal problem with time-varying geometry. Two specific algorithms are developed to incorporate this effect into the model, driven by local distribution of temperature and its gradients. The algorithms are implemented into the COMSOL Multiphysics 5.2 code that is used for numerical computations of the task. The methodology is illustrated with a typical example whose results are discussed.

Published: February 2018

The paper presents results of an analysis of inter-turn fault effects on the voltage and current waveforms of a capacitor discharge through transformer windings. The research was conducted in the frame of the Facility of Antiproton and Ion Research project which goal is to build a new international accelerator facility that utilizes superconducting magnets. For the sake of electrical quality assurance of the superconducting magnet circuits, a measurement and diagnostic system is currently under development at Gdansk University of Technology (GUT). Appropriate measurements and simulations of the special transformer system were performed to verify the proposed diagnostic method. In order to take into account the nonlinearity and hysteresis of the magnetic yoke, a novel mathematical model of the transformer was developed. A special test bench was constructed to emulate the inter-turn faults within transformer windings.

Published: February 2018

It is difficult to fabricate chitosan-wrapped coaxial nanofibers, because highly viscous chitosan solutions might hinder the manufacturing process. To overcome this difficulty, our newly developed method, which included the addition of a small amount of gum arabic, was utilized to prepare much less viscous chitosan solutions. In this way, coaxial polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/chitosan (as core/shell) nanofiber membranes were fabricated successfully by coaxial electrospinning. The core/shell structures were confirmed by TEM, and the existence of PVA and chitosan was also verified using FT-IR and TGA. The tensile strength of the nanofiber membranes was increased from 0.6-0.7 MPa to 0.8-0.9 MPa after being crosslinked with glutaraldehyde. The application potential of the PVA/chitosan nanofiber membranes was tested in drug release experiments by loading the core (PVA) with theophylline as a model drug. The use of the coaxial PVA/chitosan nanofiber membranes in drug release extended the release time of theophylline from 5 minutes to 24 hours. Further, the release mechanisms could be described by the Korsmeyer-Peppas model. In summary, by combining the advantages of PVA and chitosan (good mechanical strength and good biocompatibility respectively), the coaxial PVA/chitosan nanofiber membranes are potential biomaterials for various biomedical applications.

Published: February 2018

This paper identifies the major types of artifacts occurring in three-dimensional materials. It focuses on the analysis of vertical disparity. The vertical disparity is the artifact of the 3D images that appears both in the film material and in the computer visualizations. The research explains the causes and consequences of the vertical disparity occurrence and presents the stable algorithm of detecting mentioned anomaly. The implementation of the developed method constitutes a complete solution enabling verification of the stereoscopic material quality. The summary of the paper contains the evaluation of the algorithm in terms of correctness and stability.
Calculations of magnetic field in dynamo sheets taking into account their texture
Authors: Mazgaj Witold , Szular Zbigniew , Szczurek Paweł
Published: February 2018

Magnetic measurements have shown that the most dynamo steel sheets have certain anisotropic properties, which are due to the presence of textures in these sheets. These anisotropic properties have been taken into account usually in a simplified way assuming that iron particles of the dynamo sheets have only one axis of the easy magnetization. In the proposed approach, these particles are treated as grains which have three axes of the easy magnetization, and therefore the magnetization processes can be considered along each of these axes. These processes depend on the actual value and on the direction of the field strength and also on textures occurring in the given dynamo sheet. A method which allows calculations of the field distribution as a function of the assumed changes of external currents is described in this paper.

Published: February 2018

The adsorption of thorium(IV) was studied using a pseudo-polyrotaxane, which was obtained by the reaction of poly(propyleneglycol) (PPG) and 6-OTs-β-CD. The adsorption of thorium(IV) was examined as a function of the contact time, pH of the solution, adsorbent dose, concentration of thorium(IV) and temperature using batch adsorption experiments. The experimental results suggested that the optimum conditions were found to be at pH 3.5, contact time 40 min, 10 mg adsorbent doses, 20 mg L−1 thorium(IV) concentration and 298 K. The maximum adsorption capacity was found to be 15.366 mg g−1. The thermodynamic parameters (ΔG
0<0, ΔH
0<0) were calculated, the result showed that the adsorption of thorium(IV) was exothermic and spontaneous process.
Pan-astronomical Hermeneutics and the Arts of the Lamentation Priest
Authors: Wee John Z.
Published: February 2018

The “Esoteric Babylonian Commentary” (abbr. EBC) represents an excerpt from a larger commentary tablet LBAT 1601, which was unusual in its wide scope encompassing teratology, medical diagnosis, physiognomy, cuneiform sign exercises, and magical incantations and rituals, and which reinterpreted these diverse fields of knowledge in terms of astronomical phenomena. The topics selectively excerpted into EBC by a lamentation priest suggest a compartmentalization of textual expertise, consistent with professional purviews in the late 1st millennium BCE.

The objective of this study was to isolate and characterize antagonistic rhizobacteria from chili against a notorious phytopathogenPhytophthora capsici. Among the 48 bacteria isolated, BTLbbc-02, BTLbbc-03, and BTLbbc-05 were selected based on their inhibitory activity againstP. capsici. They were tentatively identified asBurkholderia metallicaBTLbbc-02, Burkholderia cepaciaBTLbbc-03, andPseudomonas aeruginosaBTLbbc-05, respectively, based on their 16S rRNA gene sequencing. All inhibited the growth ofP. capsiciat varying levels by inducing characteristic morphological alterations ofP. capsicihyphae. The cell-free culture supernatant of all three isolates impaired motility (up to 100%) and caused lysis (up to 50%) of the halted zoospores. Bioassays revealed thatPseudomonassp. had higher antagonism and zoospore motility-inhibitory effects againstP. capsicicompared with two other isolates,Burkholderiaspp. andB. metallica, which caused vacuolation in mycelium. All three bacteria suppressed sporangium formation and zoosporogenesis ofP. capsici, and improved the seed germination and growth of cucumber. Our findings suggest that epiphytic bacteria,B. metallica,B. cepacia, andP. aeruginosa, could be used as potential biocontrol agents againstP. capsici. A further study is required to ensure conformity with the existing regulations for soil, plant, and human health.

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify evidence available in the literature about sleep patterns of infants attending nurseries. Method: An integrative review of studies published in Portuguese, English or Spanish available in full text on LILACS, CINAHL, and PubMed databases. The following descriptors sono, lactente and creches or berçários (in Portuguese) and sleep, infant and childcare or nurseries were used for LILACS, CINAHL and Pubmed, respectively. Nine studies were selected and analyzed. Results: The main component explored in the studies about sleep pattern is the sleep position of the infants, due to its association with sudden infant death syndrome. The results pointed to the need to promote and develop written guidelines regarding behavioral practices to reduce the risk of this phenomenon. Conclusion: Evidence has identified sleep issues, mainly regarding the sleep position of the infant and the environment where the infant sleeps, showing that it is critical to set routines and interventions to improve the quality of sleep care of infants attending nurseries.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyse the link between the non-frailty condition and the results of driving license for elderly people to drive motor vehicles. Method: cross-sectional study with data collection in the sample period from August 2015 to March 2016. Study performed with 347 elderlies (≥60 years). Results: 180 (51.9%) of the participants were classified as non-frail. 48 (26.7%) of them were considered capable to drive, 121 (67.2%) capable to drive with restrictions and 11 (6.1%) temporarily uncapable. No significant relation was found between the non-frailty conditions and the results of the motor vehicles driving license study (p=0.557). Conclusion: The absence of physical frailty does not necessarily points out that the elderly are able to drive motor vehicles. Tracking the frailty subsidizes preventive interventions, which seek to interfere positively in the act of driving. This is an unprecedented study in nursing and it highlights an essential field for the performance of gerontological nursing.

Renal insufficiency is a serious medical and public health problem worldwide. Recently, although many surveys have been developed to identify factors related to the lifetime of patients with renal insufficiency, controversial results from several studies suggest that researches should be conducted by region. Thus, in this study we aim to predict and identify factors associated with the lifetime of patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) in the metropolitan area of Maringá, Paraná State, Brazil, based on the generalized additive models for location, scale and shape (GAMLSS) framework. Data used in this study were collected from the Maringá Kidney Institute and comprehends 177 patients (classified with CRF and mostly being treated under the Brazilian Unified National Health System) enrolled in a hemodialysis program from 1978 up to 2010. By using this approach, we concluded that in other regions, gender, kidney transplant indicator, antibodies to hepatitis B and antibodies to hepatitis C are significant factors that affect the expected lifetime.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a poverty infectious disease that affects millions of people worldwide. Evidences suggest that social protection strategies (SPS) can improve TB treatment outcomes. This study aimed to synthesize such evidences through systematic literature review and meta-analysis. We searched for studies conducted in low- or middle-income and in high TB-burden countries, published during 1995-2016. The review was performed by searching PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and LILACS. We included only studies that investigated the effects of SPS on TB treatment outcomes. We retained 25 studies for qualitative synthesis. Meta-analyses were performed with 9 randomized controlled trials, including a total of 1,687 participants. Pooled results showed that SPS was associated with TB treatment success (RR = 1.09; 95%CI: 1.03-1.14), cure of TB patients (RR = 1.11; 95%CI: 1.01-1.22) and with reduction in risk of TB treatment default (RR = 0.63; 95%CI: 0.45-0.89). We did not detect effects of SPS on the outcomes treatment failure and death. These findings revealed that SPS might improve TB treatment outcomes in lower-middle-income economies or countries with high burden of this disease. However, the overall quality of evidences regarding these effect estimates is low and further well-conducted randomized studies are needed.

Resumo: A pesquisa analisou o processo de expansão das Organizações Sociais da Saúde (OSS) no Brasil durante o período de 2009-2014. Para tanto, dimensionou as dez maiores OSS segundo recursos financeiros captados, explorou suas qualificações como entidades sem fins lucrativos, tomando em conta as evidências empíricas que apontam para sua expansão e consolidação no processo de gestão e prestação de serviços de saúde via estratégias próprias de organizações privadas lucrativas. O estudo é descritivo e exploratório, e foi realizado com base em fontes documentais de domínio público. No plano das relações com o Estado, as OSS têm se beneficiado das brechas e facilidades concedidas pela lei e apresentado uma notável expansão. Evidenciou-se um movimento recente das OSS pela busca concomitante da condição de entidades filantrópicas, assegurando múltiplas oportunidades de captação de recursos e de benefícios fiscais; a possibilidade de aplicação de excedentes financeiros no mercado de capitais; e a remuneração de seus corpos diretivos. Há uma concentração em serviços hospitalares com maior densidade tecnológica; nítida predominância de cláusulas respeitantes ao incremento de repasses financeiros em detrimento de outras cláusulas regulatórias; existência de modalidades especiais de contratos com serviços-meios absolutamente estratégicos para o funcionamento geral do Sistema Único de Saúde. Portanto, neste estudo as OSS se configuram como um dos componentes do Complexo Econômico Industrial da Saúde, nas vertentes da gestão, da prestação e da regulação de serviços, em um cenário de intensiva mercantilização da saúde e de transferência de fundo público para o setor privado.

Authors: MOURA Heliud Luis Maia
Published: February 2018

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é analisar, a partir dos pressupostos da Linguística Textual e do Sociocognitivismo, formas reificadas de referenciação relativas a personagens de narrativas afiliadas ao lendário amazônico. Tomo como fundamento teórico as postulações de Marcuschi (2007), Fillmore (1976, 1977, 1982, 1985), Feltes (2007), Goffman (1974, 1988), Tomasello (1988, 1992a, 1995a, 2003), Koch (2004, 2006), Geertz (2008), Ferreira (1986), Abbagnano (1962), para os quais, sob diversas perspectivas teóricas, as formas-processos referencial-reificatórios são resultados de reconstruções sociocognitivas e culturais de entidades e eventos em mobilização nas narrativas em estudo.
Coaching instrucional na formação continuada do professor de línguas: um estudo com foco em experiências terapêuticas
Authors: CUNHA Alex Garcia , CAIXETA Luís Vicente
Published: February 2018

RESUMO Neste estudo de abordagem qualitativa, investigamos como um processo de formação continuada por meio de coaching instrucional (Knight, 2007, 2009; Cunha, 2014) pode desencadear experiências terapêuticas ao professor de língua estrangeira em razão do vínculo humano estabelecido. Experiências terapêuticas foram aqui definidas como vivências em que o sujeito sofre afecção, aprendendo novos modos saudáveis de ser, estar e agir no mundo. Os dados foram coletados por meio de gravações em áudio durante 15 sessões de coaching instrucional realizadas com uma professora da educação básica pública no ano letivo de 2012. Ademais, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com seus alunos. A análise dos dados mostrou que o processo de coaching instrucional, por meio da interação entre coach e professora, desencadeou efeitos terapêuticos na vida da professora em seu ser e fazer profissionais.
O agir docente revelado no trabalho de planejamento e produção de uma sequência didática: contribuições para a construção de uma semiologia do agir

Published: February 2018

RESUMO Neste artigo retomamos e discutimos resultados de uma pesquisa de mestrado que visou a investigar o trabalho/agir de professoras de línguas durante o planejamento e a produção de uma sequência didática para o ensino de Língua Inglesa. A pesquisa fundamenta-se principalmente na corrente teórica do Interacionismo Sociodiscursivo (ISD) (Bronckart, 2008; 2006; 2009[1999]) e em seus estudos realizados sob o viés das didáticas das línguas (Schneuwly; Dolz, 2004). Os dados de pesquisa foram gerados em um curso de extensão voltado à formação docente e analisados com base no modelo de análise de textos do ISD. Os resultados obtidos apresentam contribuições para construção e/ou discussão de uma semiologia do agir por meio da proposição de novas categorias de modos de agir; assim como ressaltam aspectos importantes do trabalho de planejamento docente e fomentam um debate acerca de seu estatuto na educação de professores.
La relación entre actitud y el éxito del feedback correctivo escrito en la adquisición de una segunda lengua
Authors: LILLO Jorge
Published: February 2018

RESUMEN El presente artículo informa parte de una tesis doctoral que investigó la actitud que tienen los estudiantes en relación al feedback correctivo (FC) escrito en una segunda lengua (L2). La actitud fue medida con un cuestionario que utilizó una escala Likert de 5 puntos. Las preferencias se midieron en porcentajes de frecuencia de respuesta y la correlación entre la actitud y el efecto del FC escrito se realizó utilizando el índice de correlación de Pearson. Además, se realizó un análisis de covarianza de medidas repetidas con la actitud como covariable para mayor precisión estadística. Los resultados indican que los estudiantes prefieren ser corregidos en la producción de textos escritos en inglés como L2 y que la actitud puede llegar a tener un efecto mediador sobre el efecto del FC.
Criminalidade, violência e justiça na Vila de Tamanduá: A reconstrução de estatísticas criminais do Império à República
Authors: Vellasco Ivan , Andrade Cristiana Viegas
Published: February 2018

Resumo O artigo apresenta os primeiros resultados consolidados do mapeamento da criminalidade e da justiça ao longo do século XIX até os anos 30 do século XX na região da antiga Comarca do Rio das Mortes, Minas Gerais. Com a reconstrução de taxas de criminalidade comparáveis e seu mapeamento num período dilatado pudemos acompanhar as transformações da justiça e das agências de controle e seus impactos na conflitualidade, nos usos da violência e negociação da ordem. Os dados aqui analisados correspondem ao recorte territorial da antiga vila de Tamanduá, mais tarde município de Itapecerica, e seus desmembramentos, contendo 1133 processos judiciais entre os anos de 1829 e 1930. Os resultados demonstram um aumento exponencial dos crimes violentos a partir da última década do século XIX. Ainda que não conclusiva, a hipótese explicativa recai sobre o processo de desestruturação do sistema de justiça com o advento da República.
