A discussão em torno da "Parte II" (TS 234) das Investigações Filosóficas de Wittgenstein
Authors: Mulinari Filicio 
Published: November 2020

O artigo tem dois propósitos centrais: primeiramente, expor a discussão sobre a inclusão do TS 234 (anteriormente conhecida como "Parte II") nas Investigações Filosóficas de Wittgenstein. Para atingir esse primeiro objetivo, iremos analisar as justificativas de inclusão dadas por Anscombe (1953) e Rhees (1953, 1996) na primeira edição do livro, as críticas feitas por von Wright (1982, 1992) e, por fim, os motivos que levaram Hacker e Schulte, editores da quarta edição do livro, a considerar o TS 234 como parte de um trabalho distinto das Investigações Filosóficas. O segundo objetivo do artigo é mostrar uma leitura particular sobre os escritos pós-1945 (incluindo o TS 234), a qual afirma que tais anotações não representam 'partidas para novas direções', como von Wright (1982), Hacker (2013) e Moyal-Sharrock (2004) alegam, mas são uma continuação das questões iniciadas ainda nas Investigações Filosóficas. Para este segundo objetivo, tomaremos como base a leitura exposta por Nuno Venturinha (2007) em seu artigo “Against a third Wittgenstein” e iremos nos fundamentar em menções do próprio Wittgenstein que indicam que as Investigações Filosóficas ainda estavam no horizonte de pensamento do filósofo em seus escritos pós-1945. Ao fim, concluiremos que tanto a leitura proposta por Venturinha — de “uma continuidade” dos escritos — quanto as leituras que apregoam que os escritos sobre filosofia da psicologia são “partidas para novas direções” possuem limitações e problemas graves, o que mostra que a questão em torno do locus da Parte II das Investigações e dos problemas ali inseridos continua sendo ainda hoje um capítulo polêmico das leituras Wittgensteinianas.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which teachers integrate ICTs in classroom teaching and learning in NEPAD e-Schools, Kenya.Methodology: This study adopted a descriptive survey design and collected quantitative and qualitative data using mixed methods. The target population were 256 teachers. Sampling was done employing a mixture of techniques; stratified sampling to pick 5 schools, and purposive sampling to pick 110 teachers. Data were collected using questionnaire, resources checklist and observation. Data were coded, and run for descriptive analysis; including frequencies, percentages, measures of central tendency and measures of variability using SPSS version 22.0. Data were then presented aided by notes, frequency tables, percentages, charts and figures. Findings: Schools had functional, but unreliable electricity, and had altered ICTs to different degrees and directions; some had either been replaced or totally lost. The schools faced maintenance challenges; impeding ICTs integration in instruction. More teachers infrequently, or rarely integrated ICTs than those who did so regularly. The mean frequency of ICTs integration was once a month. Computers and word processing were teachers’ most preferred ICT tools. Teachers mainly used ICTs to illustrate main ideas during lessons. Subject content mostly determined choice and use of instructional ICTs. Most teachers found ICTs integration being generally easy, had above average proficiency in integrating ICTs, and could apply their technological, pedagogical and content knowledge well. The study concludes that teachers are alienated from integrating ICTs frequently owing to their location. Therefore, there is need to designate more places for teachers to be unimpeded from accessing and integrating ICTs.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study lends insights to other instructional ICTs initiatives to reminisce and study as they initiate or expand their projects; like provision and sustenance of infrastructure, tools, and support services. It also contributes to the body of knowledge in educational technology, which might inform theory and practice in ICTs integration. It could also inform the development of best practices in application and integration of ICTs in instruction.

Published: November 2020

IntroductionAlthough echo-guided atrioventricular optimisation (AVO) is standardly performed at rest, this approach may not provide optimal AV synchrony during daily activities.Material and methodsThe AVO protocol at one of two hospital campuses had been modified to be performed while pacing at an accelerated heart rate. We tested if this approach would improve the yield from AVO compared to the other campus, where AVO was performed at the intrinsic sinus rate.ResultsBetween campuses, no significant differences were seen in demographics, chamber sizes, left ventricular ejection fraction, and diastolic function grade. Those having AVO at C2 were more likely to demonstrate “fusion prone” physiology (36% vs. 9%; p = 0.006) and were more likely to display either “truncation- or fusion-prone” physiology (58% vs. 27%; p = 0.007).ConclusionsWhen AVO was performed at an accelerated heart rate, patients with “truncation-prone” or “fusion-prone” physiology were identified more readily.

IntroductionWe aimed to determine the influence of atrial fibrillation (AF) on mortality, morbidity, length of hospital stay, and resource utilisation in patients with oesophageal variceal bleeding (OVB).Material and methodsThe National Inpatient Sample database (2016 and 2017) was used for data analysis using the International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision codes to identify patients with the principal diagnosis of OVB and AF. We assessed the all-cause in-hospital mortality, morbidity, predictors of mortality, length of hospital stay (LOS), and total costs between propensity-matched groups of OVB with AF vs. OVB alone.ResultsWe identified 80,325 patients with OVB, of whom 4285 had OVB with AF, and 76,040 had OVB only. The in-hospital mortality was higher in OVB with AF (OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.09–1.83; p < 0.001). OVB with AF had higher odds of sepsis (OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.1–1.8; p = 0.007), acute kidney injury (OR = 1.2, 95% CI: 1.12–1.32; p < 0.001), and mechanical ventilation (OR = 1.2, 95% CI: 1.12–1.32; p < 0.001). Advanced age (OR = 1.06, 95% CI: 1.05–1.07; p < 0.001), congestive heart failure (OR = 1.7, 95% CI: 1.3–2.3; p < 0.001), coronary artery disease (OR = 1.4, 95% CI: 1.03–1.92; p = 0.02), and sepsis (OR = 1.3, 95% CI: 1.06–1.70; p = 0.01) were identified as predictors of mortality in OVB with AF. Mean LOS (7.5 ±7.4 vs. 6.0 ±7.2, p < 0.001) and mean total costs ($25,452 vs. $21,109, p < 0.001) were also higher.ConclusionsIn this propensity-matched analysis, OVB with AF was associated with higher odds of in-hospital mortality, sepsis, acute kidney injury, and mechanical ventilation.

IntroductionIn the first year of life it is crucial to maintain a well-balanced diet. It ensures optimal growth and development of the child. Feeding difficulties experienced by a child might lead to impairment of the nutritional status. Despite the importance of the subject, we did not find much recent published information. The aim of the study was to assess the etiology and growth parameters in children with feeding difficulties.Material and methodsChildren with feeding difficulties admitted to the Department of Pediatrics (September 2013 – April 2019) were recruited. Feeding difficulties were diagnosed by a minimum of two specialists. Based on medical records and clinical evaluation they were categorized as: organic, nonorganic or mixed (both medical and behavioral). To assess nutritional status weight, length/height, and body mass index (BMI) were obtained and compared with WHO reference standards.ResultsFour hundred twenty-two children with mean age of 35 months (range: 3 to 156 months) were recruited. Fifty-three percent of feeding difficulties were nonorganic (behavioral), whereas the remaining 47% were caused by mixed factors. Organic factors were mostly related to gastroenterological disorders, food allergy or coexistence of more than one medical problem. Underweight (weight < –2 z-score) was observed in 18% of patients, stunted growth (length/height < –2 z-score) in 11%, wasting (BMI < –2 z-score) in 15%, and overweight (BMI > + 2 z-score) in 1%.ConclusionsOur study showed that organic feeding difficulties coexisted with a behavioral component. The observed nutritional impairments in children with feeding difficulties indicate that there is a need for quick detection of these difficulties in order to provide appropriate support and help as soon as possible.

IntroductionKawasaki disease (KD) is an acute febrile illness of early childhood, characterised by vasculitis of the coronary and medium-sized arteries. The incidence of the disease differs worldwide, but the incidence of KD has not been established in Latvia. The aim of the study was to describe the epidemiological characteristics and estimate the incidence rate and resistance to initial treatment of KD among hospitalised children in Latvia.Material and methodsThe study was a descriptive, population-based study, which used hospital discharge records of patients < 18 years old diagnosed with KD in the years 2012–2019. Incidence rate was calculated using the number of KD patients and corresponding national census data.Resultshere were 36 KD patients in Latvia. The median age at admission was 2.8 years, with 67% of cases under 5 years of age, and the male/female ratio was 1.3 : 1. The mean annual incidence rate was 1.3 per 100,000 children 0–18 years old, and 2.9 per 100,000 for children < 5 years old. The mean length of hospital stay was 14 days. Coronary artery dilatation was recorded in 8% of the patients (all of whom were male). Every patient received intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), with a median of 7 days from fever onset to IVIG administration. Refractory treatment was reported in 25% of cases.ConclusionsThis is the first epidemiological study of KD in Latvia. The incidence rates are lower than those reported for other European countries. The percentage of refractory treatment was higher than in other studies.

Published: November 2020

PurposeThe objective was to characterize training loads distribution among Brazilian national U-19 male volleyball
players.MethodsDocumentary research was performed to analyse 8 training diaries. The contents were tabulated in a spreadsheet
and classified into variables and subvariables. Data for each macrocycle were classified depending on the time spent on each
variable and the percentage of time on each of them. To identify differences in time of each year for each training attribute,
a model was executed in minutes and another based on the percentage of time spent on each variable (technical-tactical training,
physical conditioning, physical tests, friendly games, recreational activities, official games) and subvariable (weight training,
anaerobic power, aerobic power, jumping power, flexibility, postural work, recovery activities, proprioception, coordination).
The results were stratified by tertiles. The Levene’s test verified the homogeneity assumption. Comparisons involved analysis
of variance test followed by the Bonferroni post-hoc, with a significance of <i>p</i> < 0.05. The data are presented as descriptive
statistics.ResultsThe longest macrocycle lasted 29 weeks and the shortest 12 weeks. The largest distribution was for technical-tactical
training (ca. 49.2%) followed by physical conditioning (ca. 27.5%). No significant differences were found between the variables
during the analysed period. However, weight training became the main method of physical conditioning over the years; this
variable improved as the training loads adjusted to the real game demands.ConclusionsThe observed periodization corroborates the training methodology indicated by literature.

Authors: Pote Lee , Robinson Bradley , Christie Candice 
Published: November 2020

PurposeThe purpose of the investigation was to determine the injuries and injury prevention strategies in high school
rugby union players, as reported by the coaches.MethodsA cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted where participants (from fee-paying and no-fee-paying schools)
were required to complete an electronically based questionnaire focusing specifically on injuries and injury prevention
strategies in male high school level rugby players.ResultsThe results indicated that the most common injured position was the back row, while 60% of all injuries were to
the shoulder region. Furthermore, while the majority (75%) of coaches did record injury statistics, only a limited number
implemented injury prevention strategies (mainly from fee-paying schools). The most common injury prevention tool reported was ‘strengthening target areas’ConclusionsIt was concluded that all schools should monitor injuries and implement some form of strength and conditioning program to reduce the risk of player injury. Furthermore, it was noted that for this to occur, the education of the
coach as well as the player was highly important.

PurposeThe article focuses on the influence of recreational fitness exercises on the level of adult females’ physical qualities
and morpho-functional state development.MethodsOverall, 32 women aged 30–45 years took part in the research, based on the authors’ program combining various
types of fitness exercise. One-hour workouts were conducted 2 times per week at Khmelnytskyi Humanitarian-Pedagogical
Academy for 9 months. The morpho-functional state of the participants was determined by measuring their height, weight, lung
capacity, heart rate, arterial blood pressure, body parts circumferences, and skin folds. The level of physical qualities development
was assessed with the following tests: sitting forward bend, running in place for 10 seconds, rope skipping for 30 seconds,
bench push-ups for 30 seconds, sit-ups for 30 seconds, plank exercise, maintaining balance while standing on one legResultsA confirmed improvement of the morpho-functional state indicators and physical qualities development of the participants
of the pedagogical experiment (<i>p</i> < 0.05) was established. The most significant effect referred to body mass decrease,
enhancement of cardiorespiratory system functional capabilities, as well as improvement of power and coordination abilitiesConclusions. The implemented authors’ program, combining different types of fitness exercise, made the workouts flexible
and varied, allowed to find an individual approach to each woman, and thus contributed to an increase of their physical
condition by improving the morpho-functional state of the body and the level of physical health.

PurposeFoam rolling (FR) is a known recovery method based on self-myofascial release. Detailed data on FR to reduce
muscle fatigue and enhance performance in futsal athletes are still limited. The study aimed to assess whether FR was
a suitable recovery method for futsal athletes to enhance performance and reduce their lactic acid concentrationMethodsA total of 30 male futsal athletes participated in this study. They were randomly divided into 2 groups: 15 subjects
assigned to the experimental (FR) group practised foam roller exercises, while 15 individuals assigned to the control group
were given slow jogging recovery. Both groups completed pre- and post-recovery tests for anaerobic capacity and agility.
Blood lactate was measured before the experiment, immediately after the tests, and immediately after recovery. A 2 × 2 repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to calculate each parameter results.ResultsIn the post-recovery lactate concentration, the independent t-test revealed a significant decrease between pre- and
post-test values in the FR group (<i>p</i> = 0.033). Conversely, an increase in lactate between pre- and post-test measurements
occurred in the control group (<i>p</i> = 0.058). Furthermore, ANOVA revealed significant time × group interactions (<i>p</i> = 0.002) and
a significant main effect for group (<i>p</i> = 0.001).ConclusionsFR after exercise-induced muscle fatigue had an effect on the recovery of elite futsal players by increasing
the rate of blood lactate clearance. There was no increase in performance in 20-m sprint or agility (t-test).
Working conditions and their impact on work satisfaction in migrating and non migrating workers. Factor structure of the Polish version of the Working Conditions Questionnaire
Authors: Walczak Radosław , Vallejo-Martín Macarena 
Published: November 2020

BackgroundThe study compares the impact of working conditions and wages as predictors of work satisfaction of Poles, working in Poland and abroad. Although the work environment plays a crucial role in determining the work sat-isfaction of migrants, most mention higher income abroad as the main migration motive. The increased in-come may not boost the work satisfaction however, because during migration the wage reference point chang-es. Based on those observations, it was assumed that working conditions will have a greater impact on mi-grants’ work satisfaction than nominal earnings. Additionally, migrants, while having higher nominal wages, should subjectively judge them as lower.Participants and procedureTwo samples – 351 subjects working in Poland, and 158 working in the UK and Germany – were analyzed. Everyone filled in an online survey including questions about their work environment and income, the Polish versions of the Working Conditions Questionnaire and the Work Satisfaction Scale. The results of the structural analyses (EFA and CFA) and between-sample measurement invariance of the Working Conditions Question-naire were obtained. Migrants and stayers were compared using a Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA. The impact of work-ing conditions and wages on work satisfaction was analyzed with multiple linear regression.ResultsThe factorial structure of the Working Conditions Questionnaire in the Polish version is comparable to the Span-ish original. Additionally, the nominal wages were perceived as higher for migrants than stayers. The reverse was true for subjective wage evaluations. Some working conditions were shown to have a significant impact on work satisfaction.ConclusionsThe Polish version of the Working Conditions Questionnaire is an internally consistent and reliable tool for measuring work properties. Higher nominal wages of migrants do not lead to their higher work satisfaction. Working conditions are a better predictor of work satisfaction than wages for all analyzed groups.
