Com esse objetivo, 39 alunos responderam um questionário on-line e 3 deles foram convidados para aprofundar a análise de dados por meio de sua participação em uma roda de conversa virtual com os pesquisadores. Os resultados do estudo sugerem que a pandemia teve um impacto mais quantitativo do que qualitativo na educação em geral e no aprendizado de inglês em particular. A pandemia acelerou e marcou tendências e práticas que já vinham sendo observadas antes, mas de forma incipiente, tais como aprendizado mais autônomo, flexível, focado no aluno, uso de abordagens híbridas e ativas, entre outras. As percepções dos alunos também apontaram efeitos negativos da pandemia sobre a educação como o estresse por excesso de exposição virtual e a falta de concentração e motivação. De maneira geral, concluímos que a pande...

Methods Cross-sectional study. Male adolescents from schools of grassroots soccer clubs and non-practicing activity controls were included by convenience. The abnormalities frequency of the lumbar region was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), performed using 1.5T devices with multi-channel coils in model equipment models. The types of lesions evaluated were general, warning signs, instituted, anterior and posterior, and of the column. Comparisons between groups and the relative percentage of each lesion type were compared by Pearson’s chi-squared test and Fischer’s exact test. The inter and intra-observer analyses were compared by the Kappa test. Results Forty-five adolescents were included, of whom 25 (56%) were soccer-practicing teenagers. No significant differences were identified between the variables age (P = 0.960) and the body mass index (BMI) Z-score (P = 0.540) b...

In doing so, we reflect about the process of internationalization of higher education (IHE), from two different loci of enunciation--one in the Global South (UFES) and another in the Global North (FAU). Based on the claim that language policies are closely related to internationalization actions/plans, and in the description of internationalization models in terms of the Traditional International Cooperation (TIC) model, characterized by competitive relations, and the Horizontal International Cooperation (HIC) model based on solidarity and international awareness, we analyze language policies and international cooperation agreements at UFES and at FAU as a window for reflecting about the internationalization processes in these institutions. The analysis of language policies and international agreements at UFES...

Based on the essentiality of ascertaining which wearable devices have clinical literary evidence and with the purpose of analyzing the information revealed by such technologies, we conducted this scientific article of integrative review. It is an integrative review, whose main objective is to carry out a summary of the state of the art of wearable devices used in patients with Parkinson's disease. After the review, we retrieved 8 papers. Of the selected articles, only 3 were not systematic reviews; one was a series of cases and two prospective longitudinal studies. These technologies have a very rich field of application; however, research is still necessary to make such evaluations reliable and crucial to the well-being of these patients.

Com esse fim, um estudo de caso foi realizado em uma universidade federal do sudeste com objetivo de analisar aspectos micro, meso e macro da internacionalização dentro de três esferas concêntricas, quais sejam: da comunidade acadêmica, da instituição e do governo. A análise é de cunho híbrido com dados quantitativos e qualitativos triangulando (1) percepções de alunos e professores sobre os impactos das ações de internacionalização na universidade investigada - nível micro; (2) as ações de internacionalização implementadas ou em fase de implementação nessa instituição - nível meso; e (3) as políticas linguísticas e de internacionalização propostas pelo governo por meio dos programas Ciências sem Fronteiras (CsF), Inglês sem Fronteiras e Idiomas sem Fronteiras (IsF) - nível macro. Resultados da análise macro sugerem que a internacionalização afeta e é afetada pela globalização onde o ...

Contexto/Realidade Investigada: Empresas de pequeno porte criadas a partir da necessidade de seus empreendedores, que se dedicam à gestão, muitas vezes, sem um projeto adequado à realidade do mercado no qual estão inseridos. Normalmente, para aumento no volume de vendas, essas empresas adotam vendas a crédito, sem o uso de intermediador. Diagnóstico/Situação-problema/Oportunidade: A imersão nesse cenário fez com que fosse necessária uma ferramenta para balizar a decisão de concessão ou não da carteira de créditos para empresas de gestão especializadas, cuja expertise permitisse assumir o gerenciamento dos clientes, concentrando os pequenos negócios a desenvolverem-se no seu core business, sem terem de se dedicarem a também analisarem a política de gestão de crédito....

The study provides a review of language policy literature and internationalization policies materialized in national programs, such as the Science without Borders (SwB) and the Languages without Borders (LwB). The analysis of internationalization policies suggests that language policies are at the core of the internationalization agenda, concerning the role of English in this process; however, the role of other foreign/additional languages (L2s) still seems to be disconnected, whereby other languages lack funding and alignment with solid language policies at all educational levels. The analysis of language policies reveals the need to think about the role of L2s at different educational levels as well as in multilingualism in Brazil and in the internationalization of higher education.

With that aim, a study was carried out to analyze the offer of EMI courses at the Turkish universities and the use of English in that context. Data were collected from the Turkish universities websites and the analyses show that there are more state than private universities in the country, most of which have websites in English whereas only 25% offer EMI courses and/or programs to attract international students. The discussion of the data addresses the use of English in the internationalization of higher education in relation to possible implications of offering EMI courses in that context.
