Resumen: Esta investigación tiene por objeto adaptar y validar el instrumento denominado Perfil de Implementación del Proyecto (PIP) para la evaluación de proyectos realizados en Latinoamérica. Participaron 420 profesionales involucrados, ya sea como líderes o miembros de equipos, en proyectos culminados en el periodo 2020-2021. Como el instrumento fue elaborado en inglés se utilizó un procedimiento de traducción y re-traducción, en el cual participaron expertos profesionales y académicos en gestión de proyectos junto con traductores certificados, para su adaptación a la población hispanoparlante en Latinoamérica. Para el análisis factorial exploratorio se seleccionó el método de extracción de mínimos cuadrados no ponderados, obteniéndose cuatro factores críticos de éxito: Comunicación con el cliente, seguimiento y planeación, alta gerencia, y capacidades técnicas, con coeficientes Cronbach Alpha comprendidos entre .876 y .933. Posteriormente se aplicó el análisis factorial confirmatorio, el cual demostró que el instrumento posee validez convergente y discriminante y, en consecuencia, puede ser utilizado en la academia para futuras investigaciones sobre la gestión de proyectos, y en lo profesional para evaluar el desempeño de proyectos ecuatorianos, contemplando la limitación de que el porcentaje de participación de proyectos de otros países de Latinoamérica en la muestra de estudio fue del 22 %.

Abstract: This research aims to adapt and validate the Project Implementation Profile (PIP) instrument for evaluating projects carried out in Latin America. Four hundred twenty professionals participated as leaders or team members in projects completed in 2020-2021. As the instrument was developed in English, a translation and retranslation procedure was used, in which professional and academic experts in project management participated, along with certified translators, for its adaptation to the Spanish-speaking population in Latin America. For the exploratory factor analysis, the unweighted least squares extraction method was selected, obtaining four critical success factors: Communication with the client, monitoring and planning, senior management, and technical capabilities, with Cronbach Alpha coefficients between .876 and 933. Subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis was applied, demonstrating that the instrument has convergent and discriminant validity and, consequently, can be used in academia for future research on project management and professionally to evaluate the performance of Ecuadorian projects, considering the limitation that the percentage of participation of projects from other Latin American countries in the study sample was 22%.

ABSTRACT Background and Objective Salvage robot assisted radical prostatectomy (sRARP) is performed for patients with biochemical or biopsy proven, localized prostate cancer recurrences after radiation or ablative therapies. Traditionally, sRARP has been avoided by lower volume surgeons due to technical demand and high complication rates. Post-radiation sRARP outcomes studies exist but remain few in number. With increasing use of whole gland and focal ablative therapies, updates on sRARP in this setting are needed. The aim of this narrative review is to provide an overview of recently reviewed studies on the oncologic outcomes, functional outcomes, and complications after post-radiation and post-ablative sRARP. Tips and tricks are provided to guide surgeons who may perform sRARP. Materials and Methods We performed a non-systematic literature search of PubMed and MEDLINE for the most relevant articles pertaining to the outlined topics from 2010-2022 without limitation on study design. Only case reports, editorial comments, letters, and manuscripts in non-English languages were excluded. Key Content and Findings Salvage robotic radical prostatectomy is performed in cases of biochemical recurrence after radiation or ablative therapies. Oncologic outcomes after sRARP are worse compared to primary surgery (pRARP) though improvements have been made with the robotic approach when compared to open salvage prostatectomy. Higher pre-sRARP PSA levels and more advanced pathologic stage portend worse oncologic outcomes. Patients meeting low-risk, EAU-biochemical recurrence criteria have improved oncologic outcomes compared to those with high-risk BCR. While complication rates in sRARP are higher compared to pRARP, Retzius sparing approaches may reduce complication rates, particularly rectal injuries. In comparison to the traditional open approach, sRARP is associated with a lower rate of bladder neck contracture. In terms of functional outcomes, potency rates after sRARP are poor and continence rates are low, though Retzius sparing approaches demonstrate acceptable recovery of urinary continence by 1 year, post-operatively. Conclusions Advances in the robotic platform and improvement in robotic experience have resulted in acceptable complication rates after sRARP. However, oncologic and functional outcomes after sRARP in both the post-radiation and post-ablation settings are worse compared to pRARP. Thus, when engaging in shared decision making with patients regarding the initial management of localized prostate cancer, patients should be educated regarding oncologic and functional outcomes and complications in the case of biochemically recurrent prostate cancer that may require sRARP.

Abstract This article explores why the Andean Community of Nations (CAN) has failed to achieve concrete regional security strategies for member countries. The research uses the English School of International Relations approach that considers security a value or a "primary institution", like territoriality, sovereignty, equality, and market; therefore, agendas and discussions within the regional group should include security proportionally. Through a frequency analysis, the study reviewed 342 decisions adopted by the CAN during 2006-2020. The results show that the community is still consolidating its structure. Although CAN has a broad technical agency and a scheme dedicated to strengthening the common market, its system of primary institutions is weak. In this sense, decisions on security are insufficient.

Resumen Este artículo indaga por qué la Comunidad Andina de Naciones (CAN) no ha logrado estrategias regionales concretas de seguridad para los países miembros. Se parte del enfoque de la escuela inglesa (EI) de las relaciones internacionales, que considera que la seguridad es un valor o una “institución primaria”, como lo son territorialidad, soberanía, igualdad y mercado; por lo que debería incluirse en las agendas y discusiones del grupo regional en igual proporción. Se estudiaron 342 decisiones adoptadas por la CAN en el período de 2006-2020 mediante un análisis de frecuencias. Se concluye que la comunidad se encuentra en construcción, tiene una amplia agencia técnica, una estructura dedicada al fortalecimiento del mercado común, pero su sistema de instituciones primarias es débil. En este sentido, las decisiones sobre la seguridad son insuficientes.

Abstract Purpose Our research examined the impact of readability on the understandability of notes to the financial statement and investigated the influence of a glossary on understandability. Theoretical framework Previous studies have treated readability and understandability as synonymous, but understandability is a broader concept influenced by contextual complexity, syntax, and individual characteristics. Design/methodology/approach We conducted an experiment involving 111 participants in Brazil with a background in accounting. We manipulated components of the Flesch readability metric and assessed their impact on understandability, as measured by the Meaning Identification Test. Findings Enhancing the readability of financial statement notes did not improve their understandability. However, participants' overall comprehension abilities and personal characteristics were found to significantly influence understandability. Additionally, the inclusion of a glossary of technical terms had a positive impact on understandability only for users with limited prior knowledge. Practical & social implications of research Researchers should consider alternative metrics to assess understandability. Standard setters and regulators should reconsider the effectiveness of presenting a glossary. Investors can advocate for improved text quality measures and the presentation of high quality information. Originality/value Most readability studies focus on reports written in English, and they are mainly applied to Anglophone countries. Our study extends this area of research in Brazil to reports written in Portuguese. Additionally, it highlights the need to explore the relationship between readability and understandability, as traditional readability formulas may not fully capture the comprehensibility of a text. synonymous complexity syntax Designmethodologyapproach Design methodology approach 11 accounting Test However Additionally knowledge information Originalityvalue Originality value English countries Portuguese 1

Abstract Media language encompasses literary and scientific elements, technical terminology, and cultural references. Effectively conveying its message to the target audience from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds can be challenging. This highlights some of the subtleties of media language that might add to translation difficulties. Media translation is a complex process, which involves information, knowledge, and analysis from a wide range of disciplines, including art, economics, literature, politics and science. In translating media content, accuracy in communicating cultural allusions, technical terms, and nuances to the intended audience is equally crucial as translating plain text from one language to another. This study explores the linguistic and cultural barriers that may occur while translating English-Arabic online media, with a focus on findings from BBC Online News articles. It attempts to further contribute to a deeper understanding of media translation by focusing on bridging the linguistic and cultural divide while translating English to Arabic in online media. The results of this study suggest that a translator with advanced proficiency and a thorough comprehension of the subtle linguistic and cultural differences that exist in both languages is required to provide high-quality English to Arabic translation. In other words, skilled translators who can understand and incorporate the linguistic and cultural quirks of both languages, creating a seamless connection between the translation and media domains, are essential for efficient media translation. elements terminology references challenging difficulties process information knowledge disciplines art economics literature science content allusions terms another EnglishArabic articles highquality high quality words domains

Black queer feminist literature remains under-researched. This reflects the societal marginalisation of black queer authors in South Africa. Our article offers a comparative analysis of the representation of black queer women by black queer and cisgender authors in selected isiXhosa and English poetry. The poems selected are from Unam Wena (2021) by Mthunzikazi Mbungwana and red cotton (2018) by vangile gantsho. Firstly, we explore how queer feminism is captured from a Xhosa perspective. Secondly, we explore how English is used to expose readers to black queerness, and, thirdly, we question how literary scholarship influences or limits black queer feminist literature and the functionality of queer feminist poetry as representations of black women. Discourse theory is used to examine how authors of the selected poetry construct knowledge about black queerness from a feminist perspective and shape how people understand it. In this article we adopt a narrative enquiry within the constructionism paradigm with qualitative textual analysis. Our analysis of the poetry reveals that, although the selected poets use two different languages, the same protest voice is foregrounded, with observable differences being primarily technical-namely how form, sound, and structure are employed to set the tone and mood in the issues addressed.

Teachers in the current digital era are required to integrate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in their daily teaching and must replace their traditional methods with modern tools and facilities. This is because ICT provides a dynamic and proactive teaching and learning environment. Consequently, the current study sought to establish how English First Additional Language (EFAL) Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) college first-year students understood face-to-face instruction and blended learning (BL) environments for academic writing. The study was qualitative in nature and a case study design was followed. Twelve purposively selected first-year students were involved in semi-structured interviews as part of data collection. In this study constructivism was used as theoretical framework with reference to BL and academic writing. The findings of the study revealed that most students were in favour of the face-to-face learning mode because of its advantages in their learning context. Those who were not in favour of BL posited that it had the potential to facilitate inequality among students as it was likely to benefit only those who could afford to buy data. The findings further revealed that participants believed that the combination of both face-to-face and online learning modes may be conducive to the context of learning academic writing. They contend that the two types of learning are inextricably linked. CONTRIBUTION: The study may contribute to knowledge on the measures that TVET institutions and other tertiary institutions can develop and implement academic writing practices and BL practices to aid the success of EFAL first-year students. The study was an attempt to provide feedback to academia on the current perspectives and experiences of first-year ESL students at TVET colleges to distinguish areas of limitations with reference to valuable teaching and learning, academic writing and BL practices that compromise quality.

Abstract Introduction: Secondary patient transport plays an important role in inter-hospital transfers, either due to the need to perform unavailable complementary diagnostic tests or due to the lack of technical or human resources in the continuity of care in certain healthcare units. The decision involved in this process should consider the risk/benefit assessment inherent to patient transport. Objective: To map the scientific evidence on patient assessment instruments for secondary transport. Methods: A scoping review was conducted according to the PRISMA-ScR methodology and the framework proposed by the JBI: population (critically ill patients), concept (assessment instruments), and context (secondary transport). A literature search was performed on the MEDLINE, CINAHL Complete, Cochrane, Scielo, and LILACS databases; and the grey literature was searched on the OpenGrey, DART-Europe, and RCAAP databases. Studies published in Portuguese, Spanish, and English were included in the review, with no limitation on the time of publication. Results: Eight articles were included in the review. A total of 9 risk stratification instruments for patient assessment in the secondary transfer were identified. Conclusion: Patient assessment instruments for secondary transport are beneficial due to the inclusion of variables that aid in risk stratification. Nurses play a key role in the planning and execution of an effective transfer system.

RESUMEN Introducción: El surgimiento de la formación especializada en Enfermería de Rehabilitación fue un hito importante en la Historia de la Enfermería en Portugal y en los años 60 del siglo XX surgieron medidas pioneras que prepararon su programación. El primer plan de estudios apareció en 1965 y se reformuló cuatro veces hasta 1987. Metodología: Recurso al método histórico, con análisis documental narrativo y descriptivo de fuentes primarias contenidas en los planes de estudios de cursos especializados en enfermería de rehabilitación de 1965 a 1987. Las principales variables de interés fueron: motivo de creación de los cursos, conocimiento científico en los planes de estudio, relación con el contexto nacional, carga docente y relación con las funciones desempeñadas por el enfermero en respuesta al cuidado de la salud. Resultados: Los siete planes de estudio analizados revelan la constante evolución de la especialidad, debido principalmente al cambio en la carga horaria, progresivamente más intensa y con mayor interconexión entre teoría y práctica. La introducción de nuevos contenidos más especializados fue resultado de la complejidad de la atención y de la influencia de las revisiones por parte de grupos de trabajo compuestos por enfermeras y médicos. La introducción de áreas transversales como la pedagogía y la investigación permitió enriquecer y afirmar la Enfermería de Rehabilitación dentro de la disciplina y el área de la salud en Portugal. Discusión: La creación del primer curso de especialización, según el modelo norteamericano, se vio presionada por el elevado número de víctimas de la guerra colonial, iniciada en 1961. Con el avance del conocimiento científico y dado el contexto del país, los planes de estudio fueron reestructurados, siendo reconocida la especialidad a través del Decreto-Ley nº 265/83, dando lugar a la aparición de escuelas post-básicas en Lisboa, Oporto y Coimbra. En este proceso siempre se produjo un aumento progresivo de la carga docente de los diferentes planes de estudio asociado a un aumento de la complejidad de las funciones desempeñadas por el enfermero especialista. Conclusión: La formación especializada en enfermería de rehabilitación se desarrolló a través de diferentes influencias, en primer lugar norteamericanas e inglesas asociadas al contexto del país, que presentaba diferentes carencias relacionadas con el proceso rehabilitador, y hubo un seguimiento de la evolución del conocimiento técnico-científico y de los cambios socio-demográficos que se iban consolidando en el país.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The emergence of specialized training in rehabilitation nursing was an important milestone in the History of Nursing in Portugal and in the 1960s of the 20th century pioneering measures emerged that prepared its programming. The first study plan appeared in 1965 and was reformulated four times until 1987. Methodology: The historical method was used, with narrative and descriptive documentary analysis of primary sources contained in the syllabuses of specialized courses in rehabilitation nursing from 1965 to 1987.The main variables of interest were the reason for creating the courses, scientific knowledge in the study plans, relationship with the national context, teaching load, and relationship with the functions nurses perform in response to health care demands. Results: The seven study plans analyzed revealed the constant evolution of the specialty, mainly due to the change in the workload, progressively more intense and with greater interconnection between theory and practice. Introducing new, more specialized content resulted from the complexity of care and the influence of reviews by working groups of nurses and doctors. The introduction of transversal areas such as pedagogy and research made it possible to enrich and affirm Rehabilitation Nursing within the discipline and the area of health in Portugal. Discussion: According to the North American model, the creation of the first specialization course was pressured by the high number of victims of the colonial war, which began in 1961. With the advancement of scientific knowledge and given the context of the country, the study plans were restructured, being recognized as the specialty through Decree-Law No. 265/83, leading to the emergence of post-basic schools in Lisbon, Porto and Coimbra. In this process, there was always a progressive increase in the teaching load of the different study plans associated with an increase in the complexity of the functions performed by the specialist nurse. Conclusion: Specialized training in rehabilitation nursing developed through different influences, firstly with North American and English associated with the context of the country that had different shortcomings related to the rehabilitative process, and there was a follow-up of the evolution of technical-scientific knowledge and the socio-demographic changes that were being consolidated in the country.

Resumen El presente estudio exploró la articulación pedagógica entre las Redes Sociales para el Aprendizaje de Lenguas (RESAL) y las clases presenciales de inglés en la licenciatura en lenguas extranjeras de una universidad pública colombiana. Mediante una investigación mixta, se recogieron datos a través de encuestas, un diario del investigador, grupos focales, fichas de aprendizaje (learning logs) y la grabación de las pantallas de los computadores de los estudiantes durante el uso de la RESAL Livemocha. Los resultados indican que el éxito de la integración pedagógica de este tipo de redes sociales en las clases depende del nivel de competencia comunicativa de los estudiantes, la capacidad del docente para adaptar las actividades de la RESAL, y las actitudes y creencias de los estudiantes sobre aprender lenguas en ambientes virtuales. Además, la preparación de clase, la presencia del profesor y la creatividad juegan un papel preponderante en la implementación. Las percepciones de los estudiantes indican que las RESAL contribuyen al desarrollo de competencias comunicativas, aunque también resaltan la desmotivación que producen las fallas técnicas. Con base en este ejercicio investigativo, el cual tuvo lugar durante un semestre académico, los docentes-investigadores identifican etapas para la integración de este tipo de espacios educativos virtuales en clases presenciales de programas de formación docente.

Abstract This study explored the pedagogical articulation between SNSLL (Social Networking Sites for Language Learning) and face-to-face English classes in a teacher education program at a Colombian public university. Drawing on a mixed method approach, the data was collected through surveys, a researcher's journal, focus groups, learning logs, and screen recordings of students while using a SNSLL known as Livemocha. Results indicate that the success of the pedagogical integration of this type of social networking site in face-to-face language classes depends on the level of communicative competence of the students, the teacher's ability to adapt the activities of the SNSLL interface, and the students’ attitudes and beliefs about learning languages in virtual environments. In addition, class preparation, teacher presence, and creativity play an important role in integrating SNSLL. Students’ perceptions suggest that SNSLL contribute to the development of communication skills, although students highlight the lack of motivation caused by technical failures. Based on this research study, which took place during an academic semester, the teacher-researchers identify stages for the integration of these types of virtual educational spaces in face-to-face classes in teacher education programs.

Abstract Objective Brazil Health Ministry’s guidelines for tobacco control include the Smoking Cessation Program, developed by the Instituto Nacional de Câncer of Brazil. This review aims to describe the studies in which this Program has been applied, reviewing its procedures, effects, potential and limitations. Method Articles from PubMed, PsycINFO, Virtual Health Library and Scientific Electronic Library Online, published between 2002 and 2019, were evaluated, using the descriptors “Smoking Cessation Program” and “smoking cessation” in Portuguese, Spanish and English. A total of 1670 articles were pre-selected, of which 15 resulted eligible for final assessment. Results The results showed adherence rates from 33% to 100%, success rates from 15% to 85% after the intervention and 21% to 51% six months after treatment completion.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to adapt culturally, verify the reliability, and suggest a normative score for the School Companion Sensory Profile 2 (SCSP-2) for Brazilian children and youths aged 3 to 14 years and 11 months. The SCSP-2 was culturally adapted for Brazil following the steps of initial translation (two independent translators), reconciled translation (two members of the technical committee), equivalence analysis (four experts in sensory integration), back-translation (two English mother tongue translators), author approval and pre-test. The pre-test verified the clarity and understanding (cognitive unfolding/face validity) and reliability (inter-examiner equivalence, internal consistency, and reproducibility) of the translated version, with the participation of 74 teachers who answered the questionnaire referring to 146 children. The items showed an agreement rate above 75% in cognitive unfolding/face validity. The inter-examiner and test-retest equivalence showed K ≥ 0.88 in all items surveyed. Acceptable internal consistency values were observed in almost all sensory areas, quadrants of sensory seeking and sensory sensitivity, and in the school factor 2.

RESUMO: Este estudo objetivou adaptar culturalmente, verificar a confiabilidade e sugerir um escore normativo do School Companion Sensory Profile 2 (SCSP-2) para crianças e jovens brasileiros de 3 a 14 anos e 11 meses. O SCSP-2 foi adaptado culturalmente para o Brasil seguindo as etapas de tradução inicial (dois tradutores independentes), tradução conciliada (dois integrantes do comitê técnico), análise de equivalência (quatro especialistas em integração sensorial), retrotradução (dois tradutores de língua materna inglesa), aprovação da autora e pré-teste. O pré-teste verificou a clareza e a compreensão (desdobramento cognitivo/validade de face) e a confiabilidade (equivalência interexaminadores, consistência interna e reprodutibilidade) da versão traduzida, com a participação de 74 professores que responderam ao questionário referente a 146 crianças. Os itens apresentaram índice de concordância acima de 75% no desdobramento cognitivo. A equivalência interexaminadores e teste-reteste apresentaram K ≥ 0,88 em todos os itens pesquisados. Observaram-se valores aceitáveis de consistência interna em quase todas as áreas sensoriais, quadrantes de procura sensorial e sensibilidade sensorial e no fator escolar 2. Os escores preliminares brasileiros são distintos dos americanos. O SCSP-2 adaptado para o Brasil apresenta evidências de validade baseada no conteúdo, além de boa consistência interna, possibilitando identificar problemas de processamento sensorial em crianças e jovens brasileiros.

ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is to discuss the constitution of the academic discourse of the English teacher in successful experiences in language teaching. To that end I adopt the dialogic perspective of language to explore 12 abstracts of oral presentations published in the program of the III International Seminar of the Brazilian Association of English Language Teachers in the Federal Network of Basic, Technical and Technological Education (ABRALITEC) in 2020. The abstracts are seen as utterances imbued with the official discourse on English teaching in Brazil and with the theoretical discourse mobilized to carry out research. Results show that in theoretical discourse double-voicing is realized through the nomenclature of concepts and the citation of authors to support pedagogical, methodological, and language theories. In official discourse double-voicing takes place when a specific lexicon is used, or language education policies are mentioned with the purpose of complementing or transgressing them. 1 Basic ABRALITEC (ABRALITEC 2020 research doublevoicing double voicing pedagogical methodological theories used them 202 20 2

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a constituição do discurso acadêmico do professor de inglês sobre experiências exitosas no ensino da língua. Para isso, filio-me à Linguística Aplicada e adoto a perspectiva dialógica da linguagem para explorar 12 resumos de comunicações publicados no caderno de resumos do III Seminário Internacional da Associação Brasileira de Professores de Língua Inglesa na Rede Federal de Ensino Básico, Técnico e Tecnológico (ABRALITEC) em 2020. Os resumos são tomados como enunciados imbuídos do discurso oficial sobre o ensino de inglês no Brasil e do discurso teórico mobilizado para a realização da investigação no campo da atividade científica. A análise dialógica do corpus elucidou que o discurso acadêmico do professor de inglês se bivocaliza com o discurso teórico por meio da nomenclatura de conceitos e da citação a autores para fundamentar teorias pedagógica, metodológica e de linguagem, ao passo que se bivocaliza com o discurso oficial por meio da inserção de léxico específico ou da menção à política de educação linguística para complementá-la ou transgredi-la. língua isso filiome filio me 1 Básico ABRALITEC (ABRALITEC 2020 científica pedagógica complementála complementá la transgredila. transgredila transgredi la. transgredi-la 202 20 2
