This research article examines the multifaceted challenges faced by Muslims living in the West after the 9/11 tragedy, as portrayed in Urdu literature. Through an in-depth analysis of three selected Urdu novels—Tauos Fqat Rang by Neelam Ahmed Basheer, Main Dehshat Gard Hoon by Mohsina Jilani, and Ek Love Story Ek Atomi Qayamat by M.

Os desafios de triangulação metodológica na produção científica: um relato de experiência
Authors: Armando Armindo 
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo aborda em torno da metodologia de investigação científica, privilegiando o relato de experiência no âmbito de aplicação de métodos diversificados a quando da elaboração da tese de doutoramento em Língua, Cultura e Sociedade, através do qual estudos nas áreas sociais e humanas se cruzaram numa clara demostração da importância da interdisciplinaridade. Na prática a proposta de pesquisa “diversidade cultural e unidade nacional nos manuais escolares de ensino de história de Moçambique” exigia um cruzamento metodológico, dado que a opção do investigador para a consecução da tese era de analisar os manuais escolares, representações sociais sobre a história de Moçambique e encontrar formas através dos quais estas duas dimensões se comunicam para uma abordagem científica da diversidade cultural e da unidade nacional. Quanto a metodologia, o artigo relata a opção por uma pesquisa qualitativa recorrendo a grupos focais, entrevistas e análise de conteúdo.

A endometriose é uma doença ginecológica e inflamatória caracterizada pelo desenvolvimento do endométrio e de glândulas endometriais fora da cavidade uterina. Tal patologia pode manifestar-se de forma assintomática em algumas mulheres, no entanto, a maioria apresenta sintomas clínicos em diferentes intensidades, sendo os principais: dismenorreia, dispareunia, dor abdominal baixa e/ou nas costas, disquezia, disúria e hábitos intestinais alterados. Dessa forma, a endometriose tornou-se uma das principais causas de incapacidade e comprometimento significativo da qualidade de vida em adolescentes e mulheres adultas. Nesse contexto, em virtude do seu potencial biológico como antioxidante, anti-inflamatório e imunoprotetor, o resveratrol, emerge como uma potencial terapia complementar ao tratamento da endometriose e melhora da qualidade de vida dos indivíduos acometidos por essa patologia. Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa, elaborada a partir de uma pesquisa realizada na base de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) e Google Scholar através do cruzamento dos descritores selecionados com o auxílio dos operadores booleanos “AND”, “OR” e “PARÊNTESES”. A análise dos resultados revelam que a suplementação de resveratrol pode contribuir para a melhora do quadro clínico das mulheres afetadas por essa condição, reduzindo a intensidade dos sintomas e, consequentemente, melhorando a qualidade de vida. Portanto, torna-se evidente o potencial do resveratrol como uma terapia adjuvante no manejo da endometriose, destacando suas propriedades antioxidantes, anti-inflamatórias e imunoprotetoras.

O objetivo deste trabalho é avaliar a relação entre o tempo de exposição à tela e o comportamento alimentar de crianças e adolescentes com excesso de peso. Trata-se de um estudo transversal realizado com crianças e adolescentes com excesso de peso de Fortaleza. Foram investigados dados sociodemográficos, clínicos, prática de atividade física, hábitos de exposição às telas e estado nutricional. O Questionário Children’s Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) avaliou o comportamento alimentar. Participaram 82 crianças e adolescentes, sendo 69,5% do sexo feminino. O estado nutricional apresentou associação apenas com a subescala de “sobreingestão emocional” (p = 0,006). O tempo diário de exposição às telas apresentou associação significativa com o comportamento alimentar nas subescalas que refletem interesse pela comida (“resposta à comida”: p = 0,039; “prazer em comer”: p = 0,002; “desejo de beber”: p = 0,01) com maiores médias no grupo que tinha exposição diária excessiva às telas. Além disso, também obtiveram uma pior resposta à saciedade, referido pela subescala “resposta à saciedade” (p = 0,037). O hábito de comer em frente à tela apresentou associação significativa com as subescalas “sobreingestão emocional” (p = 0,019) e “subingestão emocional” (p = 0,014). O comportamento alimentar de crianças e adolescentes com excesso de peso, expostos excessivamente às telas, mostra aumento do interesse pela comida, maior sensibilidade a estímulos alimentares externos, desejo por bebidas açucaradas e menor capacidade de regular o consumo alimentar. Comer em frente às telas e o estado nutricional foram associados ao comportamento alimentar influenciado por fatores de estresse emocional.
Up There de Wael Kadour et la mise en scène de l’expérience perdue
Authors: Potenza Daniela , Kadour Wael 
Published: February 2025

Dans sa dernière pièce, Up There (2022), le dramaturge syrien Wael Kadour s’interroge sur ce qui aurait pu se produire dans sa vie artistique, mais qui n’a pourtant pas eu lieu. Kadour élabore ainsi une conscience individuelle et subjective du non-passé, une temporalité négative qui se développe tout au long du processus de création de la pièce, depuis son idéation au cours de la crise sanitaire de 2020 jusqu’à sa première en décembre 2022. Cette prise de conscience émane d’un retour dans le temps, entre 1991 et 2022, accompagné du regard d’Henrik Ibsen sur la société.
Manuel Monleón y la serie "Los siete pecados capitales": un estilo propio entre Segrelles y Renau
Authors: Torres Sastrús Vega 
Published: February 2025

Manuel Monleón Burgos fue uno de los creadores del “arte comprometido” en la Valencia de los años treinta. El presente artículo aborda la trayectoria de este artista hasta la Guerra Civil mediante un estudio basado en las fuentes, con el objetivo de ampliar, contrastar y confirmar la todavía escasa información que se tiene del autor. Además, se analizan sus particularidades estilísticas y referentes visuales a partir de la serie Los siete pecados capitales, publicada en la revista Estudios, en 1936. A través de los fotomontajes que la componen se advierte un lenguaje plástico que abarca desde el realismo combativo de Josep Renau, John Heartfield o los artistas soviéticos, hasta un surrealismo onírico inspirado en José Segrelles, encontrándose en un punto medio en el que la denuncia social se expresa a través de símbolos y composiciones complejas.
Manuel Monleón Burgos was one of the creators of "committed art" in Valencia in the 1930s. This article examines the artist's career up to the Spanish Civil War through a source-based study, with the aim of expanding, contrasting and confirming the still scarce information available on the artist. It also analyses his stylistic particularities and visual references based on the series Los siete pecados capitales ("The Seven Deadly Sins"), published in the magazine Estudios in 1936. The photomontages that this series comprises reveal a visual language that ranges from the combative realism of Josep Renau, John Heartfield and the Soviet artists to a dreamlike surrealism inspired by José Segrelles, finding a compromise in which social critique is expressed through symbols and complex compositions.
Shaping Minds, Shifting Perspectives: Investigating the Evolution of Preservice Teachers' Attitudes Towards Children's Literature
Authors: Doepker Gina M , Consalvo Annamary L 
Published: February 2025

Abstract This study followed 44 undergraduate preservice teachers’ (PSTs’) evolving attitudes towards children’s literature in a required course. Initially, numerous PSTs exhibited negative attitudes toward certain genres which often stemmed from negative experiences during their K-12 education. However, the results indicate that through deliberate and strategic exposure, the PST’s attitudes evolved towards a greater appreciation and openness to incorporating a diverse range of children’s literature, in various genres, into their teaching. This points to the necessity for teacher preparation instructors to remediate PSTs’ earlier negative experiences with children's literature while nurturing their shifting attitudes through positive exposure to the different genres.

Resumen Este estudio siguió la evolución de las actitudes de 44 estudiantes de magisterio hacia la literatura infantil en un curso obligatorio. Inicialmente, numerosos estudiantes mostraban actitudes negativas hacia ciertos géneros, a menudo debido a experiencias negativas durante su educación K-12 (Primaria). Sin embargo, los resultados indican que, a través de una exposición deliberada y estratégica, las actitudes de los estudiantes evolucionaron hacia una mayor apreciación y apertura para incorporar una gama diversa de literatura infantil, en varios géneros, en su enseñanza. Esto subraya la necesidad de que los instructores de preparación de maestros remedien las experiencias negativas previas de los estudiantes con la literatura infantil mientras fomentan sus actitudes cambiantes mediante una exposición positiva a los diferentes géneros.

Resum Aquest estudi va seguir l'evolució de les actituds de 44 estudiants del grau de Magisteri cap a la literatura infantil en un curs obligatori. Inicialment, nombrosos estudiants mostraven actituds negatives envers certs gèneres, sovint a causa d'experiències negatives durant la seva educació K-12 (Primària). No obstant això, els resultats indiquen que, mitjançant una exposició deliberada i estratègica, les actituds dels estudiants van evolucionar cap a una major apreciació i obertura per incorporar una àmplia gamma de literatura infantil, en diversos gèneres, en la seua docència. Això subratlla la necessitat que els instructors de preparació de mestres subsanen les experiències negatives prèvies dels estudiants amb la literatura infantil mentre fomenten les seues actituds canviants a través d'una exposició positiva als diferents gèneres.
Streaming by the Rest of Us
Authors: Consalvo Mia , Lajeunesse Marc , Zanescu Andrei 
Published: February 2025

An in-depth investigation of the Twitch streamers who make up the largest population on the platform: those streaming to small audiences or even no one.
The vast majority of people who stream themselves playing videogames online do so with few or no viewers. In Streaming by the Rest of Us, Mia Consalvo, Marc Lajeunesse, and Andrei Zanescu investigate who they are, why they do so, and why this form of leisure activity is important to understand.Unlike the esports athletes and streaming superstars who receive the lion's share of journalistic and academic attention, microstreamers are not in it for the money and barely have an audience. In this, the first book dedicated to the latter group, the authors gather interviews from dozens of microstreamers from 2017 to 2019 to discuss their lives, struggles, hopes, and goals.
For readers interested in livestreaming, and Twitch in particular, the book rethinks the medium's history through accounts of the everyday uses of webcams, with particular attention to notions of liveness and authenticity. These two concepts have become calling cards for the videogame livestreaming platform and underlie streamer motivations, the construction of their practices (whether casual, serious, or anywhere in between), and the complex “metas” that take shape over time. The book also looks at the authors' own practices of livestreaming, focusing on what can be gained through experiencing the lived reality of the practice. Finally, the authors explain how Twitch's platform (studied from 2017–2023) informs how streamers structure their every day and how corporate ideologies bleed into real-world spaces like TwitchCon.
