Thematic Axes Research Articles

Perspectivas contemporâneas sobre marcas: um estudo sobre abordagens e dinâmicas na comunicação

This study investigates contemporary approaches researchers in Communication use to study brands, reflecting on the multifaceted and dynamic concept of this theme. A systematic analysis of 77 articles published in Brazilian journals from 2018 to 2023 found and discussed five main thematic axes: culture and social values, economy and market, ethics and social responsibility, audience experience, and visual identity and symbolism. Results point to a wealth of perspectives that show the complexity of the subject and the possibility of approaching it in various ways.

Nominativo latino y tema en español

In Latin, the nominative case is usually described as Subject case, but this role is a later derivation of its function as a Theme marker. The Theme expressed by the Indo-European nominative is the syntactic Theme, not to be confused with the Theme of the FSP first described by the Prague Circle. The syntactic Theme belongs to a different and broader syntactic axis than the transitive axis. While the thematic axis divides the sentence into two parts, Theme and Predicate, the transitive axis organizes the constituents of the predicate. The syntactic Theme has several semantic features that can be found in the Theme of the so-called thematic languages. The loss of the inflectional cases in Romance languages and, therefore, of the nominative case as such, brought about the need to express the Theme analytically. This paper briefly describes the behaviour of the thematic Theme in Spanish, its relation to the transitive axis and its contrast with languages in which the thematic axis is not in force, such as English.

HIV POSITIVE DIAGNOSIS AND THE REORGANIZATION OF LIFE

This article is the result of a qualitative study that aimed to understand how the lives of people living with HIV (PLHIV) were reorganized after at least one year of living with the disease. For this purpose, interviews were conducted with some generating questions preceded by characterization of the subjects. The methodology chosen for organizing the data was the Collective Subject Discourse (CSD), having as theoretical reference psychoanalysis and scientific productions related to the theme. The result refers to a thematic axis named “Subjective experience and adaptation from the disease”, which constituted three collective subject discourses (CSD), these were named by the central ideas (ICS): (1) resignification from the disease, (2) biopsychological repercussions of the diagnosis; and (3) silence with self-protection. It was concluded that there is not just one way to reorganize life from the diagnosis, but it is correct to state that the stigma of the disease has a direct influence on all subjects.

INTERSECCIONALIDADE E ORGANIZAÇÕES: UMA ANÁLISE DAS PUBLICAÇÕES DOS ENCONTROS DA ASSOCIAÇÃO BRASILEIRA DE PÓS‐GRADUAÇÃO E PESQUISA EM ADMINISTRAÇÃO

AbstractThe aim of this research is to understand whether gender issues and their intersections have been incorporated into the production of knowledge coming from the meetings of the National Association of Graduate Studies and Research in Administration in Brazil (ANPAD) over the years. A literature review of papers published in the proceedings of ANPAD Meetings (EnANPAD) between 1997 and 2021 was conducted to identify the presence of the thematic axes: gender, sexuality, class, and race. Titles and abstracts of 21,057 papers were analyzed. Were classified 682 papers, in at least one of the axes. The analysis presents quantitative data that shows the volume of scientific work per thematic axis. In addition, the qualitative analysis of the texts identified as intersectional was carried out. The results showed that intersectionality is still not very present in the research presented at EnANPAD, evidencing a weak connection with the social and economic structural context of the country. However, a growing movement, albeit slow, was noted from 2005. The theoretical contribution of this study consists in highlighting an overview of intersectionality in the field of studies in Administration in Brazil. This study can guide future research agendas and Graduation Policies.

O PAPEL DO LUDICO NO CONTEXTO DA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

The central theme of this study is the use of games as methodologies in the playful learning process in early childhood education. The research focuses on demonstrating that playing is a natural human activity and can provide significant enrichment for children. Through play and games, children socialize, interact and learn from each other. The motivation for carrying out this project arose from the desire to make pedagogical work more relevant and enjoyable, highlighting the crucial role of play in the educational context for children aged 4 to 6 years. The central question is whether teachers can facilitate the discovery of reading and writing using games and games in a playful context. The objective of the project is to investigate how playful activities can serve as valuable pedagogical resources in early childhood education. The study also explores proposals for recreational activities suitable for the age group of 4 to 6 years, covering the thematic axes of Mathematics, Arts, Movement, Nature and Society, Oral and Written Language, and Music. The assessment included written, oral, frequency and creativity aspects. The research was based on authors such as Muniz (2016), Novaes (2014), Huizinga (2013), Kishimoto (2014), among others, and on historical ideas about teaching through games and games.

Genre dynamics in teletandem chats

This paper explores the use of chat in Teletandem (TTD) activities (Telles; Vassallo, 2006) on the UNESP-SJRP campus from 2006 to 2020, focusing on possible genres materialized in chats, in English <> Portuguese partnerships. Two main questions guided the study: firstly, to identify the genres materialized in chats; and secondly, to examine how the use of chat has evolved along with synchronous communication tools. The research adopted a qualitative and longitudinal approach (Wagner et. al, 2018; Dörnyei, 2007) and investigated whether textual genres (Bazerman, 1994, 2006; Miller 2012a, 2012b, 2016, 2017; Miller; Shepherd, 2009) emerged in chat interactions. Through this analysis, the use of chats over the period was verified. The data was collected from publications related to TTD, including master's dissertations and doctoral theses, and from MulTeC (Lopes, 2019; Aranha; Lopes, 2019). Once collected, the data was integrated into the technical, ontological and epistemological dimensions (Ferro, 2021). The analysis was conducted based on predefined thematic axes, considering the particularities of the textual genres identified and based on the quantitative results obtained by analyzing the data in the Voyant Tools® tool. The final analysis revealed evidence of the materialization of the Initial Teletandem Oral Session (iSOT) genre (Rampazzo, 2017) in the initial period, which did not carry over into the second period due to advances in synchronous communication tools. However, this possible genre persisted in another form within the tool, indicating potential survival in the new environment. In addition, there was a change in the use of chat from being the main locus of interaction to a supporting role for oral interaction, in line with the evolution of synchronous communication tools over time. Despite these findings, limitations were found, including insufficient data from the initial period. Future avenues of research could explore additional genres within the TTD genre system, investigate the possible migration of genres and analyze the syntactic, semantic and pragmatic consequences of the materialization of genres in chat and vice versa. These new investigations may offer valuable insights for further research into TTD and related linguistic issues.

MEGACÓLON PSICOGÊNICO EM PACIENTE PORTADOR DO TRANSTORNO DO ESPECTRO AUTISTA: UM RELATO DE CASO

Introduction: Psychogenic megacolon (PM) is a rare dysfunction usually found during childhood. This condition is characterized as an abnormal and irreversible dilation of the intestinal colon of psychogenic etiology, that is, such motility disorder is linked to some emotional disorder. A full understanding of this disorder is still a long way off due to its scarce description in the medical literature, however, authors such as Liu et al (2019) define it as a persistent dilation of the colon in the absence of any underlying organic or physiological causes, highlighting its diagnosis as purely eliminatory due to its symptomatic similarity with congenital megacolon (Hirschprung's disease). Objectives: The following case report aims at a retrospective and cross-sectional study, arising from the analysis of the patient's medical records, in order to lay scientific foundations for future research addressing the thematic axis of MP in conjunction with the development of new, more effective therapeutic proposals for the disease. Methods: The data provided in this study were obtained from the active collection of information from the patient's medical record, analyzed in line with others extracted from an interview with the person responsible, however, a literature review was carried out using data platforms as sources of good origin such as Scielo Platform, Google Scholar and PubMed. Results: The case describes a 3-year-old male patient, diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and with a history of previous hospitalizations related to urinary tract infection (UTI) and médium acute otitis (MAO). In the current history, the patient was admitted due to an acute infectious condition unrelated to MP, however, a distended and painless abdomen was found with increased peristalsis with decreased frequency of bowel movements and the presence of a large fecal cake. via ultrasound, with the diagnosis of megacolon, the clinic was related to the diagnosis of ASD and the patient's difficulty in adapting to the hospital environment, making the hypothesis of MP very likely. Conclusion: The report above describes a highly suggestive picture for MP, while this study seeks to raise the hypothesis of its correlation with ASD, while this neurodevelopmental disorder can influence the bowel habits of those patients historically included within the age group conducive to the manifestation of this disease.

A systematic literature review on environmental, agronomic, and socioeconomic factors for the integration of small-scale coffee producers into specialized markets in Oaxaca, Mexico

The coffee sector’s challenges, such as low and volatile prices, prompt adopting strategies focused on product differentiation, including high-quality specialty coffee. Nevertheless, documented evidence shows that small producers in Oaxaca, Mexico, are not equally benefiting from this market opportunity compared to other states in Mexico, such as Veracruz or Chiapas. This review article identifies and analyzes the factors in integrating small Oaxacan producers into the specialty market. A total of 138 scientific contributions were analyzed, emphasizing three thematic axes: (1) Trends and behavior of the coffee market. (2) Factors to enable the production of high-quality coffee, and (3) Current situation and challenges of small coffee producers in the specialized market. We found that coffee quality depends on the environment (mainly altitude, temperature, and geographical conditions) and agronomic, genetic, and socio-economic factors. Moreover, agronomic and genetic factors should focus on choosing coffee varieties suited to the environmental conditions of the farm and adopting innovations in production, harvest, and post-harvest processes. The most significant socio-economic factors that hinder small coffee producers’ participation in the specialized market include but are not limited to, lack of information, social connection, and financial resources. However, in the literature analyzed here, it was also possible to identify specific farmworker experiences that operate with a community approach and have inserted their small producers into high-quality market transactions. For this reason, this article suggests that the standardization model of quality from the collective approach within the community-based enterprise is a sustainable and inclusive alternative to achieve the goal: the insertion of small Oaxacan coffee producers into the more significant specialty market.

Construction of a care protocol following King's Goal achievement theory: experience report

Objective: to report the construction of a Care Protocol for the safe warming of hypothermic patients following Imogene King's Goal Achievement Theory. Method: this is an experience report from an intensive care nurse during the master's and doctorate course, where the protocol was developed, based on Imogene King's Theory. The experience was presented in five thematic axes. Results: In axis 1, there was a lack of monitoring of active heating, a lack of verbal and non-verbal communication, leading to the nursing diagnosis (axis 2) Hyperthermia and Hypothermia. In axis 3, a literature review (scope) was carried out to assess care for hypothermic patients. In axis 4, the content of the protocol was validated with the help of experts in the area and in axis 5, the aim is to evaluate the clinical feasibility of the protocol in everyday hospital settings. Conclusion: the study portrayed the construction of a protocol following Imogene King's Goal Achievement Theory, demonstrating the importance of developing tools to assist nursing in the treatment of hypothermic patients in hospitals.

Geospatialization of Sporothrix spp: spreading knowledge in scientific circles

The Sporothrix fungus exists in different species, S. schenckii, S. americana, S. luriei , S. globosa, S. chilensis, S. pallida and S. brasiliensis . It can be found in soil and putrefactive plant matter, occurring in tropical and subtropical regions. It is observed that infections are the result of the traumatic inoculation of fungal filaments through the skin, affecting humans who have contact with contaminated soil, plants and domestic animals. It is recorded that occurrences of contamination of people with domestic animals have been increasing in Brazil, in the southeast and south regions. The objective was to reflect on research carried out in Brazilian universities, optionally considering doctoral theses studies. State of the Art and Bibliographic methods were used, considering ten years, with a time frame from 2011 to 2020, using two databases, CAPES and BDBTD platforms. For data analysis, statistical analysis was used through ANOVA and geospatialization with the QGIS software, version QGIS-OSGeo4W-3.24.0-2 (18.02.2022). With the results, 49 productions (theses) were retrieved, 18 from the CAPES platform and 31 from the BDBTD platform and analyzed from the perspective of the thematic axes public health, infection and treatment, pharmacology and veterinary sciences. It is concluded that there are records showing the presence of the fungus in the country since the 1980s, and the treatment of the disease caused by the pathogen is possible and dependent on therapy and effective drugs, considering that it is a zoonosis and, therefore, public health issue in some states by mandatory notification.

The thematic axis was the visual record of nature and its changes throughout the period covered by the project.

“Some Have No Knowledge of God”: The Resurrection and the Knowledge of God in 1 Corinthians

Abstract Scholars have long debated whether 1 Corinthians is unified and, if so, whether the unity consists in an error on the side of the Corinthians and/or a theological or pastoral objective of Paul. The present argument is that the unifying thematic axis of 1 Corinthians as a letter consists in a Trinitarian knowledge of the God of Israel. This knowledge of God is given in Christ crucified and raised according to the Scriptures and through the Spirit, and this same knowledge addresses the twin concerns of idolatry and sexual immorality among the Corinthians. The epistle is accordingly an exercise in acknowledgment of God’s revelation of himself to Paul and the churches and in doxological discipleship. If so, it follows that the unity of 1 Corinthians emerges from something prior to Paul and over his own intention, something self-commending even as it finds expression in Paul’s written thought. God knows his people and is known in Christ through the Spirit by those whom he has raised with Christ to newness of life and filled with his Spirit. In this knowledge, they, the Israel of God, know where they have come from, who they are and must be, and where they are going. Everything Paul writes to them about all the gritty particulars of life derives from this reciprocal, lived knowledge.

INTERVENÇÕES E FUNÇÕES EXECUTIVAS: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA

The objective of this research was to map Brazilian research publications on interventions in executive functions. This is an excerpt from a lato sensu postgraduate course conclusion work. The PRISMA-ScR protocol was used, and the databases consulted in June 2023 were the CAPES Periodicals Portal, the Virtual Health Library (VHL) and the Institute of Education Sciences (ERIC), using the descriptors “Executive Functions” AND “Intervention” in Portuguese and English. 35 articles were selected, which were divided into three thematic axes, based on the reading and similarity of the intervention proposals, namely: interventional research with children and/or adolescents, studies with adult and/or elderly individuals and interventions with individuals with diagnoses in specific clinical conditions. As a result, the largest publication flow occurred between 2019 and 2021, the largest target population was children and the elderly, and the Southeast, South and Northeast regions stood out in relation to the number of publications. The use of technological resources stands out as a powerful tool for the development and rehabilitation of Executive Functions, as well as the practice of physical exercises and multicomponent training, involving physical, cognitive and psychological aspects, at any stage of human development. The identification of the available national scope regarding the topic is relevant for understanding activities and strategies already used and the possibility of new proposals, based on available studies.

Mucopolysaccharidoses from the perspective of patients and family members

The aim of this study was to understand the impacts of mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), a group of hereditary metabolic diseases with a chronic and progressive course, on children diagnosed with this condition and their family members. It is a qualitative research conducted with six children and five accompanying family members who attend the Reference Center for Inborn Errors of Metabolism (CETREIM). Data collection occurred through sociodemographic questionnaires and semi-structured individual interviews, recorded in audio and subsequently submitted to Content Analysis technique. The results indicate the presence of three main thematic axes: 1) Discovery and understanding of the diagnosis; 2) Repercussions and consequences of illness; 3) Coping strategies. The results highlight the ways in which children and family members define, interpret, and take positions regarding this diagnosis, indicating reverberations in the social and psychological spheres of different orders in these two groups, emphasizing that the rupture with normality permeates the condition of subject and identity, being marked by the repercussions of the disease and diagnosis.

The influence of artificial intelligence in higher education based on four thematic axes: a bibliometric study

The article presents a structured bibliometric study examining the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) in higher education across four thematic axes: AI in higher education, AI in education review, AI in the teaching-learning process, and AI tools applied to higher education. Research productivity and impact indicators are analyzed using data from major databases like Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. Results reveal a significant increase in AI-related research output, particularly in machine learning, data mining, and learning analytics. The study highlights China and the United States as leading contributors to AI research in higher education. The findings highlight AI's evolving role in transforming higher education and the need for multidisciplinary research approaches to address emerging challenges and opportunities. However, limitations include the reliance on quantitative measures, the narrow temporal scope, and the limited focus on high-production countries. Future research should incorporate qualitative methods to explore practical applications and social impacts more comprehensively, consider a broader range of geographic contexts, and discuss ethical considerations around integrating AI into higher education.

"It's a Lot of Closets to Come Out of in This Life": Experiences of Brazilian Gay Men Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus at the Time of Diagnosis and Its Biopsychosocial Impacts.

We investigated the experiences of Brazilian gay men with HIV, focusing on the moment of diagnosis and its potential biopsychosocial impacts. This clinical-qualitative study involved 15 participants interviewed online and synchronously by a clinical psychologist in 2021. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data. Interpretations were grounded in Minority Stress Theory. Four thematic axes emerged, including "Diagnostic Revelation", "Social and Internalized Stigma", "Biopsychosocial Effects of Living with HIV", and "Gratitude for Treatment Advances and the Brazilian Health System". The diagnosis was often experienced as traumatic, exacerbated by the absence of empathy and emotional support from healthcare providers. Participants commonly reported guilt, fear upon learning of their HIV status, social isolation, loneliness, lack of social support, and damage to affective-sexual relationships. Many also noted a decline in mental health, even those without HIV-related medical complications. Despite over 40 years since the HIV epidemic began, the prevalence of homophobia and serophobia among gay men remains widespread, including within the multidisciplinary teams of specialized services. This indicates that the stigma associated with homosexuality and HIV persists, despite significant biomedical progress in the diagnosis and treatment of the infection, particularly in Brazil.

Do adults listen? A qualitative analysis of the narratives of LGBTQI adolescents in Madrid

This article explores the experiences of LGBTQI adolescents related to the listening they receive, based on a qualitative focus group study conducted between 2022 and 2023 in Madrid, Spain. After the transcription of the conversations, a thematic analysis was carried out following the systematic procedure designed by Nowell et al. (2017), in order to extract the meanings that the adolescents gave to their experiences. The main thematic axes around which the group discussions revolved were the existence of homophobic ideologies and adultists societies, the experience of not feeling listened to, the safe spaces in which they do feel listened to, the reaffirmation of their identity and satisfaction with their own bodies. Attention was also paid to the processes of subjectivation and agency in relation to listening. The conclusions highlight the importance of role models, the requirement that listening be supported by an intention to learn and recognize others, as well as the urgent need to create safe listening spaces for LGBTQI adolescents.

News media representations of the Trade Union Act (2016) and their links to liberal theory

This paper explores how concepts from two influential strands of liberalism, new liberalism and neoliberalism, are represented in a sample of online media articles by analysing news coverage of the Trade Union Act (2016). The analysis centres on internet news items published on the websites of The Guardian, The Daily Mail, Sky News, and BBC News. To systematise the analysis, three thematic axes were constructed: a) Democracy, Law and Order; b) Civil and Labour Rights; c) Military Metaphors, Privileges and Trade Unions.

Los horizontes de la universalidad: la investigación y la perspectiva deSerge Gruzinski

Interview with Dr. Serge Gruzinski by Mtro. Arturo Reynoso for Encartes vol. 7 no. 13. In April of this year 2023, as part of the activities surrounding the celebration of the 450th anniversary of the presence of the Jesuits in Mexico, ITESO and the Mexican Province of the Society of Jesus organized an academic colloquium that took place on the campus of that university and whose thematic axis focused on the reflection and discussion of the horizons of universality, which are generated at the planetary level from the sixteenth century onwards. To present and help understand this scenario in history, the colloquium counted with the participation of one of the best researchers of the globalization process, besides being one of the most internationally recognized historians of Mexico. We are referring to Serge Gruzinski, whose academic production is already a classic of historiography, an indispensable and obligatory work to delve into the study of the aforementioned topic.

Latin American immigration and refugee policies: a critical literature review

Against the background of remarkable policy liberalization and the subsequent steep increase of forced displacement in Latin America, the literature on immigration and refugee policy in the region has gained momentum. Although largely overlooked, this literature has the potential to provide a corrective to political migration theory from the Global South. In this article we carry out a systematic, critical review of the regional literature along three thematic axes: legal analyses, normative and explanatory studies. Based on the review of 108 journal articles, we describe the characteristics, main contributions and research gaps of each thematic area. By analyzing legal norms and policy implementation gaps, existing studies on Latin America provide an understanding of migration policy over time and offer important empirical evidence for the advancement of political migration theory, challenging some of the main assumptions attributed to policies in the Global South. However, the lack of engagement with the broader literature and the absence of systematic analyses of its determinants and effects significantly limit the potential of this body of work. We close by making concrete suggestions of how future studies could fill existing gaps both in theoretical and empirical terms, and which methodological approach should be employed.
