‘Empfindsamer Stil’ And Its Literary Connections: A Cue To Music Instruction

Empfindsamer Stil is a German expression whose meaning has historically been debated as either a “human emotional disposition” or “a musical style”. This descriptive bibliographic study seeks to investigate the historical development of Empfindsamer Stil, its application in musical contexts, as well as its nexus with literacy works, to inform music instruction. Given the COVID-19 pandemic research environment, most of the data were collected virtually and reported thematically. Findings indicate that Empfindsamer Stil is characterized by an emphasis on the expression of a variety of deeply felt emotions within a musical work, with Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach being the principal exponent. The study also reveals that historians of philosophy across time failed to agree on the meaning of the term Empfindsamer Stil. It was therefore concluded that language is dynamic and evolving. Music educators must ensure to explore the history-contextual significance of musical terminologies, especially those that may be alien within the specific musico-cultural milieu of the learner. Also, in teaching, applying, and assessing lessons involving terminologies, music teachers must take a cue from specific historical epochs and cultures to maximize relevance and fairness. Future studies in music history, in correlation with modern psychology and literary works, will therefore help clarify further whether the term Empfindsamer Stil is best explained as a phenomenon of human emotional disposition or a musical style. Also, more research will better explain the interdependent coexistence of music and various literary works.

On applying the methods of economic analysis in financial control of public medical institutions

Subject. The article addresses the economic analysis as a separate field of science and practice. During its development, it has been updated for new subjects, objects, areas, interests, thereby expanding the directions of its application. Objectives. The aim of the study is to apply the methods of economic analysis in the implementation of financial control measures in relation to public medical organizations. Methods. The study rests on a bibliographic study of current scientific and periodical economic literature. We also apply methods of scientific cognition, like dialectical method, analysis and synthesis, detailing, observation, generalization, comparison, classification, etc. Results. The paper states the interdisciplinarity of economic analysis and control. Analytical procedures belong both to control measures and to analytical work in general. Methods of economic analysis are the tools of financial control. Conclusions. Analytical procedures are specific actions of the controller that are based on methods of economic analysis, with the help of which the objectives of control measures will be achieved.

OVERVIEW OF BRAZILIAN RESEARCH ON STATISTICS EDUCATION INVOLVING TEACHERS: METHODOLOGICAL PATHS AND TRAINING CONTEXTS

This article aims to analyze Brazilian research on statistics education involving teachers to highlight methodological trends and training contexts mobilized by such research. To this end, a survey was carried out in the Dissertation and Thesis Bank of CAPES, considering the descriptor "Statistical Education” and the 2013-2018 timeframe. A total of ninety-nine studies were found, twenty of which met the proposed objective. This is a documentary and bibliographic study, in which an interpretative approach was adopted using the technique of content analysis. The data analysis verified that nine of those studies did not lead to training processes with teachers. In addition, the analysis of the other eleven studies, which led to training, revealed an intrinsic relationship between the methodological path and the training contexts reported. This demonstrated the expressiveness of training contexts based on epistemology of collaboration, that is, those contexts that both give voice and listen to teachers, and recognize them as producers of knowledge. Conversely, we identified two research studies that shaped the training considering the paradigm of technical rationality, and designed training courses to address certain content/concepts that teachers supposedly do not master. It was evidenced that the conception of teacher training has a direct and explicit relationship with the organization of the training spaces outlined. Finally, we identified one research study based on epistemology of practice, which focuses on the understanding of knowledge mobilized in teaching practice. Abstract: Portuguese O presente artigo tem por objetivo analisar pesquisas brasileiras de Educação Estatística que envolveram professores, com vistas a evidenciar tendências metodológicas e de contextos formativos mobilizados por tais estudos. Para tanto, realizou-se um mapeamento no Banco de Dissertações e Teses da CAPES, considerando o descritor “Educação Estatística” e o período de 2013 a 2018. Foram identificadas 99 pesquisas, dentre as quais 20 dialogam com o objetivo proposto. Trata-se de um estudo documental e bibliográfico, no qual se adotou uma abordagem interpretativa que tem como técnica a análise de conteúdo. A análise dos dados permitiu identificar que nove destes estudos não desencadearam processos formativos com os docentes. Além disso, a análise das demais 11 pesquisas, que desenvolveram processos formativos, revelou uma intrínseca relação entre o percurso metodológico e os contextos formativos relatados. Nesse sentido, evidenciou-se uma expressividade de contextos formativos pautados na epistemologia da colaboração, ou seja, aqueles que dão voz aos professores e se colocam à sua escuta; que os reconhecem como produtores de conhecimento. Em contrapartida, duas pesquisas estruturaram as formações, considerando o paradigma da racionalidade técnica e concebendo cursos de capacitação para abordar determinado conteúdo/conceito que o professor supostamente não domina. Constatou-se que a concepção de formação de professores tem relação direta e explícita com a organização dos espaços de formação delineados. Por fim, identificou-se uma pesquisa alicerçada na epistemologia da prática, que se volta para a compreensão de saberes mobilizados no fazer docente.

Toxins and venoms from marine cnidarians and gastropods: diversity and potential drugs targeting the ion channels

: A diversity of marine invertebrates, such as cnidarians are rich sources of large bio-active molecules. This chemo-diversity of bio-active compounds has a promising potential in several biotechnological and therapeutic applications. On the basis of a comparative bibliographic approach, we intend in this review to present and discuss an overview of: i) the diversity of marine invertebrates as a candidate for bio-active molecules production; ii) the diversity of bio-active compounds and venom derived from these organisms; iii) the relationship between, the diversity of these marine organisms and the structure of the toxins they secrete. In this bibliographic study, a focus is going to be made on protein neurotoxins targeting ion channels. We also discuss the potential link between the bioecological characteristics of cnidarians and the diversity of toxins.

Role of Big data in HealthCare and Internet of Things: A Detailed Bibliometric Survey
