In 1920, the native Slovenian lands of southern Carinthia were included into the Austrian Republic, and the Slovenian population fell under the jurisdiction of the state, the official language of which was German. Under these conditions, literature in the native language became an important factor in the resistance against assimilation for the Carinthian Slovenes. However, decades later, the national protective function of the artistic word gradually came to naught. The contemporary literature of the Slovenian minority in Austria is a special phenomenon combining national and polycultural components and having two cultural and historical contexts, two identities - Slovenian and Austro-German. In aesthetic, thematic, linguistic terms, this literature is so diverse that it no longer fits into a literature of a national minority, and can no longer be automatically assigned to only one of the two literatures - Slovenian or Austrian. A variety of works, including proper Slovenian texts, hybrid bilingual forms, and compositions in German, of course, requires a new research methodology that would expand existing approaches and could cover the literary practice of those who create a panorama of Carinthian reality, which is in demand both in Slovenia and in Austria.

THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF DOCUMENTARY ELEMENTS WITH SPECIAL CONSIDERATION OF ABSTRACTS. A RESEARCH PROPOSAL CONCERNING ARTICLES FROM BIBLIOLOGY JOURNALSReferring to the changes taking place in modern scholarly communication and the specificity of scholarly discourse, the authors present the latest conclusions from research concerning improvement of comprehensibility of documentary analyses, summaries and abstracts. This is influenced by text readability, and the structure and cognitive value of documentary elements. The authors present a typology of such elements as well as their distinctive features. On this basis they propose a new research methodology. Thanks to this methodology it will be possible to verify: 1. whether elements attached to articles from bibliology journals are, according to recommendations, more readable easier to comprehend than the content of the articles themselves;2. the current tendency in their length, which should be increased, according to recommendations;3. whether, in accordance with recommendations, all keywords have been used in the elements, which will facilitate article indexation in databases; 4. whether the existing terminological recommendations correspond to the actual language usage. The initial results obtained by the authors show that research in this area should be continued, as the proposed hypotheses require in-depth analysis and verification.

ResumoEste artigo tem o propósito de esclarecer os vínculos da corrente filosófica Fenomenologia com a metodologia de pesquisa fenomenológica - a Rede de Significação, que perpassa princípios fenomenológicos e a elaboração de um pensar sobre a ciência da linguagem, apresentando um modo de compreendê-la ao inspirar-se em pensamentos merleau-pontyanos e na aplicação destes em contextos de pesquisa que tomam depoimentos como sua matéria-prima, ou seja, como o pré-reflexivo da pesquisa. Com os exemplos de pesquisa já concluídas na região de inquérito da Educação Matemática que utilizaram a metodologia apresentada, pretende-se mostrar o alcance e abrangência do método para essa área. O texto trata ainda de alguns aspectos do relacionamento do fazer do pesquisador com o método em questão. E consagra o método como uma hermenêutica fenomenológica de vivências, via linguagem, ao buscar compreensões que põem à mostra o sentido do fenômeno pesquisado.Palavras-chave: Fenomenologia; Linguagem, Rede de Significação, Pesquisa em Educação Matemática.AbstractThis article aims to clarify the bonds between the philosophical current, Phenomenology, and the phenomenological research methodology - the Network of Meanings, which crisscrosses the phenomenological principles, the elaboration of a thinking about the science of language, presenting a way of assuming it inspired by Merleau-Pontyan thoughts and applying them in research contexts that take testimonies as their raw material, i.e., as a pre-reflective action of the research. With the research examples already completed in the mathematics education inquiry region that used the methodology presented, we intend to show the scope of the method for this area. The text also deals with some aspects of the relationship between the researcher's doing and the method at stake, which is recognised as a phenomenological hermeneutic of lived experiences through language when searching for understandings that show the meaning of the phenomenon researched.Keywords: Phenomenology; Language, Network of Meanings, Research in Mathematics EducationResumenEste artículo tiene como objetivo esclarecer los vínculos de la corriente filosófica Fenomenología con la metodología de investigación fenomenológica - la Red de Significación, que recorre principios fenomenológicos, la elaboración de un pensamiento sobre la ciencia del lenguaje, presentando una forma de comprenderla inspirándose en los pensamientos de Merleau-Ponty y aplicándolos en contextos de investigación que toman los testimonios como materia prima, es decir, como prerreflexión de la investigación.

Resumo O conhecimento do professor é fundamental para o ensino e para a aprendizagem dos estudantes e possui, em suas características, o fato de ser especializado. Tendo isso em vista, o presente artigo tem por objetivo investigar a utilização do modelo denominado Conhecimento especializado do Professor de Matemática (MTSK) em dissertações e teses brasileiras. Para isso, foi realizada uma busca no Catálogo de Dissertações e Teses da Coordenadoria de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES) e na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD) e o corpus foi composto por sete trabalhos. Os resultados permitiram evidenciar a utilização analítica do modelo para identificar e caracterizar conhecimentos de professores e futuros professores relacionados aos diferentes assuntos; a utilização do modelo para a realização de um trabalho de metassíntese; e também para a proposição de um modelo de conhecimento semelhante para a disciplina de Física. Ainda, destaca-se a predominância de sua utilização em contextos de formação continuada e no ensino a distância, e a ausência de trabalhos que investigam o MTSK na modalidade presencial da formação inicial. Com isso, considera-se que o estudo pode provocar questionamentos que orientem o desenvolvimento de novas pesquisas em Educação Matemática, indicando possibilidades do uso do modelo e a necessidade de valorização da profissionalização docente e da defesa de políticas públicas que reafirmem que o conhecimento do professor é especializado. Palavras-chave: Educação Matemática. Formação de Professores. Conhecimentos Profissionais Docentes. MTSK. AbstractTeacher’s knowledge is fundamental for the studentss’ teaching and learning and has in its characteristics the fact of being specialized. With this in view, this article aims to investigate the use of the Mathematics Teacher’s Specialized Knowledge (MTSK) model in Brazilian dissertations and theses. For this purpose, a search was made in the Dissertations and Thesis Catalogue of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations (BDTD) and the corpus comprised seven papers. The results highlighted the analytical use of the model to identify and characterize the teachers’ and future teachers’ knowledge related to different subjects; the use of the model for performing a meta-synthesis work; and also, for proposing a similar knowledge model for the Physics subject. Additionally, the predominance of its use is highlighted in contexts of continuous education and in distance education, and the absence of works that investigate MTKS in face-to-face modality of initial formation. Therefore, it is considered that the study may bring about questions that may guide the development of new research in Mathematics Education, indicating possibilities of using the model and the need to value teaching professionalization and the defense of public policies reaffirming that the teacher’s knowledge is specialized. Keywords: Mathematics Education. Teacher’s education. Teacher’s professional knowledge. MTSK.

Before-and-after study methodology was developed and applied to evaluating the effect on bicyclists’ safety of raising urban bicycle crossings by 4 to 12 cm. In total, 44 junctions were reconstructed in this way in Gothenburg, Sweden. Four of these were studied in detail. Before the implementations, bicyclists were riding either in the roadway or on separate paths parallel to the roadway. The paths then ended with short ramps or curb cuts at each cross street, and bicyclists used nonelevated, marked bicycle crossings, similar to pedestrian crosswalks but delineated by white painted rectangles rather than zebra stripes. The results show that the paths with raised crossings attracted more than 50 percent more bicyclists and that the safety per bicyclist was improved by approximately 20 percent due to the increase in bicycle flow, and with an additional 10 to 50 percent due to the improved layout. However, the increased bicyclist volume means that the total number of bicycle accidents is expected to increase. Besides accident analysis, the change in risk was estimated using four different methods: surveys of bicyclists and experts, respectively; conflict data; and a quantitative expert model. Using a Bayesian approach for combining the results shows that the most likely effect of raising the bicycle crossing is a risk reduction of around 30 percent, compared with the before situation with a conventional bicycle crossing. Motorists and pedestrians also saw safety benefits from this traffic-calming measure.
