Internal Iliac Artery Ligation: A Retrospective Analysis of Two Different Approaches
Authors: Jyothi GS
Published: August 2017

Aim

To describe two different approaches of performing internal iliac artery ligation and their usefulness in different clinical situations.

Introduction

Internal iliac artery ligation is a very useful method to control pelvic hemorrhage. It can become a necessity at any point of time while performing obstetric or gynecological surgeries, and it is a procedure that needs to be accomplished in a matter of few minutes, before the patient goes into irreversible shock.

Techniques

Internal iliac artery ligation can be done by approaching the artery by opening the retroperitoneal space, either by dividing the round ligament or by opening the pouch of Douglas. The internal iliac artery is identified by locating the bifurcation of the common iliac artery with the ureter crossing it. The external iliac artery is the lateral branch of the common iliac artery and it runs a straight course to continue as the femoral artery in the lower limb. The ureter is identified by peristalsis, and the internal iliac artery is the short medial branch of the common iliac which runs a short course and immediately divides into an anterior and a posterior division, which in turn divide into a number of branches. The uterine artery is the branch of anterior division of the internal iliac artery. The internal iliac artery is ligated by passing a stout suture material under it with the help of a right-angled forceps, or it can be directly occluded with clips, applied using a clip applicator.

Conclusion

Both the approaches are equally effective and easy to perform. Approaching the internal iliac artery through the round ligament is easier in gynecological surgeries, whereas the pouch of Douglas approach is easier during cesarean section.

Clinical significance

Internal iliac artery ligation is almost always performed as an emergency, though the need to perform it can be anticipated in advance and the gynecologist can be prepared for it. It is essential for gynecologists to be conversant with this life and a uterus-saving procedure. There are two approaches of doing this procedure and the choice is entirely on the individual. It may not be possible to approach the pouch of Douglas when there are dense adhesions as in case of a frozen pelvis. And it may be time-consuming to approach the internal iliac artery by dividing the round ligaments when there is postpartum hemorrhage. Therefore, it is useful to know both the approaches, because one might encounter a situation where one may find it difficult to follow the technique one is familiar with.

Female Sterilization Failure reported during 5 Years at a Tertiary Care Teaching Hospital: A Retrospective Survey
Authors: Guleria Kiran , Suneja Amita , Gupta Rashmi
Published: August 2017

Aim

To study the changing trends of female sterilization failures reported during past 5 years (October 2011 to September 2016), and their etiological factors and outcome of pregnancies resulting due to failure at a tertiary center.

Materials and methods

A retrospective study was conducted that included all women who had reported as tubal ligation failure in the family planning unit of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in our institution during a 5-year span (2011 to 2016). Data were collected from case records maintained in the Family Planning Unit and Medical Record Department.

Results

Sixty-eight cases of sterilization failure with longest interval of 19 years were documented, out of which 21 (30.9%) were interval laparoscopic ligation, 29 (42.6%) medical termination of pregnancy with lap ligation, 2 (0.9%) postpartum sterilization, and 10 (14.7%) concurrent with lower segment cesarean section. Only 37 (54.41%) patients reported failure in 1st trimester, 4 (5.8%) were beyond 20 weeks gestation, and 2 (2.9%) presented as ruptured ectopic pregnancy. There were six cases (14%) of spontaneous recanalization, three (6.9%) due to tuboperitoneal fistula, and 79% due to improper surgical technique.

Conclusion

Female sterilization failure is a proven entity that can occur at any age, method, and interval. Failures due to improper technique can be prevented by following standard guidelines for tubal sterilization.

Authors: de Brito Costa Edja Maria Melo , Rosalen Pedro L , Pereira Jozinete V , Alves Erika P , de F Lima Rennaly , de Almeida Carolina M , Freires Irlan A , Ruiz Ana LTG , Granville-Garcia Ana F , Godoy Gustavo P
Published: August 2017

Background

Bauhinia forficata and Cnidoscolus quercifolius plants are commonly used in folk medicine. However, few studies have investigated their therapeutic potential.

Aim

Herein, we evaluated the antimicrobial activity of B. forficata and C. quercifolius extracts against microorganisms of clinical relevance and their antiproliferative potential against tumor cells.

Materials and methods

The following tests were performed: Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC)/minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC), inhibition of biofilm adhesion, and effects on cell morphology. Antiproliferative tests were carried out with human keratinocytes and six tumor lines.

Results

Bauhinia forficata showed antimicrobial activity only against C. albicans with MIC of 15.62 μg/mL and MFC higher than 2000 μg/mL. It also inhibited biofilm adhesion and caused alterations in cell morphology. Cnidoscolus quercifolius showed no significant activity (MIC > 2.0 mg/mL) against the strains. Bauhinia forficata and C. quercifolius extracts showed cytostatic activity against the tumor cells.

Conclusion

Bauhinia forficata has promising anti-Candida activity and should be further investigated for its therapeutic potential.

Clinical significance

The use of medicinal plants in the treatment of infectious processes has an important nowadays, due to the limitations of the use of synthetic antibiotics available, related specifically to the microbial resistance emergence.

Comparison of Film Thickness of Two Commercial Brands of Glass Ionomer Cement and One Dual-cured Composite: An in vitro Study
Authors: Gupta Naveen , Khajuria Rajat R , Singh Rishav , Barua Pranamee , Hajira Nausheen
Published: August 2017

Aim

The present study is undertaken to examine the film thickness of three most commonly used luting cements and to determine their usage as a luting agent.

Materials and methods

This study was carried out strictly according to the guidelines of American Dental Association (ADS) specification no. 8. Two glass slabs of 5 cm in length and 2 cm in width were used. One glass slab was kept over the other glass slab and the space between the two glass slabs was measured using metallurgical microscope at the power of 10×. Two brands of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and one dualcured resin cement were used in this study. The test cement is sandwiched between two glass slabs. A static load of 15 kg was applied using universal testing machine on the glass slabs for 1 hour and the space present between the two glass slabs was measured using metallurgical microscope at the power of 10×.

Results

Greatest film thickness was found in group III (Paracore) followed by group II (micron) and lowest in group I (GC luting and lining cement). All the tested samples can be used for luting purposes.

Conclusion

Greatest film thickness was observed in Paracore followed by micron and lowest in GC luting and lining cement. This suggests that the 25 to 27°C is ideal for mixing of the cement when used for luting consistency. The cement with film thickness more than 30 µm should never be used for luting purposes.

Clinical significance

The dentist should choose the luting cement with utmost care noting the film thickness and bond strength of the cement. The cement with low exothermic heat production and good bond strength should be encouraged.

Authors: Anzil KSA , Mohammed Arshad , Thomas Archana A , Paul Shann , Shahul M , Kasim K
Published: August 2017

Aim

The present study was conducted to assess the prevalence of tobacco use and associated oral mucosal lesions among construction workers of Cochin, Kerala, India.

Materials and methods

A cross-sectional study was carried at various construction sites of Cochin and 2,163 workers were selected using multistage sampling method and were interviewed and examined. Information regarding demographic details, form, type, frequency of tobacco use, earlier attempt to quit, and willingness to quit tobacco use was obtained using predesigned questionnaire. The oral health status was recorded on the World Health Organization oral health assessment form 1997, and the examination was carried out under natural light using mouth mirrors and probe. Data thus collected were analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 17 (Chicago, Illinois, USA) statistical software package. Chisquare test was applied.

Results

Among the 2,163 workers, 1,952 were tobacco users and 211 were nonusers. Among the users, 1,021 use smokeless form, 372 use smoked form, and 559 use both. Premalignant lesions/conditions were more commonly seen with tobacco habit, with leukoplakia (14.75%) being the most common followed by oral submucous fibrosis in 201 (9.3%), candidiasis in 123 (5.7%), ulceration in 131 (6.05%), abscess in 59 (2.73%), smokers palate in 58 (2.68%), lichen planus in 21 (0.97%), and malignant tumor in 2 (0.1%).

Conclusion

Commonness of abusive habits and oral premalignant lesions or conditions was considerable among the workers. Control and early diagnosis through workplace screening are the major backbones for the control of oral cancer.

Clinical significance

Building workers are unprotected from various health hazards at workplace. Lack of access to health services makes the situation unsatisfactory. Poor literacy and low socioeconomic status have resulted in practice of tobacco, smoking, and chewing in the majority of them. Hence, it is our responsibility to find and guide them with a proper oral health education.

Lingual Frenectomy in Joubert Syndrome
Authors: Gurjar Vivek , Gurjar Minal , Pattanshetti Channaveer , Sankeshwari Banashree
Published: August 2017

Aim

Our aim is to present a case of a rare disorder, such as Joubert syndrome (JS) which required oral surgical intervention under general anesthesia at a very young age to help in achieving normal developmental milestones.

Background

Ciliopathies are an emerging class of diseases of which JS is a significant member. There have been very few cases of JS with its distinguishing features which have been reported in recent literature.

Case report

We herewith present a case of JS who reported to our unit with a complaint of speech abnormality. Intraoral examination revealed a tongue-tie which was planned for surgical release. As any drugs that interfere with respiratory depression have to be used with utmost care, adequate precautions were taken in this case and the patient was treated under general anesthesia. The tongue-tie was released and associated hamartomatous outgrowths from the floor of the mouth were also excised. Appropriate postoperative care was taken and the patient was discharged.

Conclusion

The patient treated by us did not reveal any significant intraoperative or postoperative complications. Treatment of cases of JS required a team effort of multiple dental and medical specialists. Long-term follow-up of such patients is required so that they achieve normal chronological development.

Clinical significance

Joubert syndrome being a rare disorder requires special anesthetic care during any surgical procedure, especially that involving the oral cavity. The need and timing of surgical intervention in such cases should be carefully assessed and appropriate precautions should be taken.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography to Better understand Glaucoma
Authors: Holló Gábor
Published: August 2017

The term optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) comprises different OCT-based technologies which all allow noninvasive assessment of retinal perfusion, based on moving red blood cells. The main areas where OCTA is currently used are investigation of perfusion and vascular structure of the macular retina (e.g., in macular degenerations and diabetic macular diseases) and the disk and peripapillary retina (in glaucoma and other optic disk diseases). The current editorial provides a brief overview on the potential of OCTA and its use to measure perfusion in the peripapillary retina in glaucoma.

Role of High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein as a Predictor of Severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease in Correlation with Clinical Parameters
Authors: Patil Mamatha B , Abhishek M , Pradeep BK
Published: August 2017

Introduction

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. By 2020, the World Health Organization predicts that COPD will become the third leading cause of death and the fifth leading cause of disability worldwide. The COPD is a complex disease characterized by slowly progressive and largely irreversible airflow obstruction due to chronic bronchitis and emphysema and associated with systemic inflammation.

Objective

This study aimed to correlate the plasma levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) with severity of COPD and pulmonary function tests [PFTs; according to Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) stages] and find out the relation between hs-CRP levels and clinical parameters of age, number of pack years, and body mass index (BMI) of the patient.

Materials and methods

A cross-sectional study of 102 male patients with clinically and spirometrically diagnosed cases of COPD was performed. Data on patient's demographic characteristics, pack years, BMI, PFTs, and hs-CRP were analyzed.

Results

A total of 76 of the patients had moderate airflow obstruction (GOLD stages II and III), mild airflow obstruction was present in 14 patients (GOLD stage I), and 12 patients had severe airflow obstruction (GOLD stage IV). The hs-CRP was normal in 6 patients, while it was raised in 96 patients. The value of hs-CRP was correlated with age, pack years, BMI, and GOLD stages. There was a significant negative correlation between hs-CRP and BMI and a significant positive correlation between hs-CRP and age, pack years, and GOLD stages.

Conclusion

A raised level of CRP in COPD indicates reduced lung function; it plays an important role in systemic inflammation. This study supports the role of hs-CRP as a simple, cost-effective biochemical marker in the staging and determining the severity of COPD other than spirometry.

Authors: Rekha NH , Bharath MS , Channakeshava SP
Published: August 2017

Introduction

Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disorder. Prevalence of diabetes is increasing globally and it is one of the major health problems of the 21st century. The disturbance in serum magnesium (SMg) has been reported among patients with type II diabetes mellitus. Hypomagnesemia has negative impact on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in patients with type II diabetes mellitus.

Aim

This study was undertaken to know the prevalence of hypomagnesemia in patients with type II diabetes mellitus and its relation with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). The study was conducted on 200 patients with type II diabetes and 100 healthy controls at RajaRajeswari Medical College & Hospital, Bengaluru.

Results

Out of 200 diabetic patients, 115 (57%) had hypomagnesemia. We observed mean SMg (1.7 mg) significantly low in diabetic patients compared with controls (2.1 mg). We also found HbA1c was high (9%) in hypomagnesemia patients. We found that diabetic hypomagnesemic patients had high mean fasting blood glucose (242.6 mg%) and postprandial blood sugar (313 mg%) than controls.

Species composition and forest structure explain the temperature sensitivity patterns of productivity in temperate forests
Authors: Bohn Friedrich J. , May Felix , Huth Andreas
Published: August 2017

Abstract. Rising temperatures due to climate change inﬂuence the wood production of forests. Observations discovered that some temperate forests increase their productivity, whereas others reduce their productivity. This study focus on how species composition and forest structure properties inﬂuences this temperature sensitivity of forest productivity. Further it investigates for which forests rising temperatures increase productivity strongest. We describe forest structure by leaf area index , forest height and tree height heterogeneity. Species composition is described by a functional diversity index (Rao's Q) and optimal species distribution (ΩAWP). ΩAWP quantiﬁes how well species are distributed within the forest structure regarding with the given environmental conditions of each single tree. We analyzed 370 170 forest stands, which were generated with a forest gap model. These forest stands cover a large number of possible forest types. For each forest stand we estimate annual above- ground wood production under 320 climate scenarios (of one year length). The scenarios differ in mean annual temperature and annual temperature amplitude. Temperature sensitivity of forest productivity is quantiﬁed as relative change of productivity due to a 1 °C temperature rise in mean annual temperature or rather annual temperature amplitude. Increasing ΩAWP inﬂuences positively both temperature sensitivity indices of forest, whereas forest height shows a bell-shaped relationship with both indices. Further, we reveal that there are forests in each successional stage, which are positively affected by temperature rise. For such forests, large ΩAWP-values are important. In case of young forest, low functional diversity and small tree height heterogeneity support a positive effect of temperature on forest productivity. During later successional stages, higher species diversity and larger tree height heterogeneity is an advantage. This study highlights that forest structure and species composition are both relevant to understand the temperature sensitivity of forest productivity.
The distribution of methylated sulfur compounds, DMS and DMSP, in Canadian Subarctic and Arctic marine waters during summer, 2015
Authors: Jarníková Tereza , Dacey John , Lizotte Martine , Levasseur Maurice , Tortell Philippe
Published: August 2017

Abstract. We present seawater concentrations of dimethylsulfide (DMS), and dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) measured across a transect from the Labrador Sea to the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, during summer 2015. Using an automated ship-board gas chromatography system, and a membrane-inlet mass spectrometer, we measured a range of DMS (~ 1 nM to 18 nM) and DMSP concentrations (~ 1 nM to 150 nM) that was consistent with previous observations in the Arctic Ocean. The highest DMS and DMSP concentrations occurred in a localized region of Baffin Bay, where surface waters were characterized by high chlorophyll a (chl a) fluorescence, indicative of elevated phytoplankton biomass. Across the full sampling transect, there were only weak relationships between DMS/P, chl a fluorescence and other measured variables, including positive relationships between DMSP : chl a ratios and several taxonomic marker pigments, and elevated DMS/P concentrations in partially ice-covered areas. Our high spatial resolution measurements allowed us to examine DMS variability over small scales (
Deriving a country-wide soils dataset from the Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) database for use in Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) Simulations

Published: August 2017

Abstract. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model has been commonly used in Canada for hydrological and water quality simulations. However, pre-processing of critical data such as soils information can be laborious and time-consuming. The objective of this work was to pre-process the Soil Landscapes of Canada (SLC) database to offer a country-level soils dataset in a format ready to be used in SWAT simulations. A two-level screening process was used to identify critical information required by SWAT and to remove records with information that could not be calculated or estimated. Out of the 14,063 unique soils in the SLC, 11,838 soils with complete information were included in the dataset presented here. Important variables for SWAT simulations that are not reported in the SLC database [e.g. hydrologic soils groups (HSGs) and erodibility factor (K)] were calculated from information contained within the SLC database. These calculations, in fact, represent a major contribution to enabling the present dataset to be used for hydrological simulations in Canada using SWAT and other comparable models. Analysis of those variables indicated that 21.3 %, 24.6 %, 39.0 %, and 15.1 % of the soils in Canada belong to HSGs 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. This suggests that almost two-thirds of the soils have a high (i.e., HSG 4) or relatively high (i.e., HSG 3) runoff generation potential. A spatial analysis indicated that 20.0, 26.8, 36.7 and 16.5 % of soil belonged to HSG 1, HSG 2, HSG 3, and HSG 4, respectively. Erosion potential, which is inherently linked to the erodibility factor (K), was associated with runoff potential in important agricultural areas such as southern Ontario and Nova Scotia. However, contrary to initial expectations, low or moderate erosion potential was found in areas with high runoff potential, such as regions in southern Manitoba (e.g. Red River Valley) and British Columbia (e.g. Peace River watershed). This dataset will be a unique resource to a variety of research communities including hydrological, agricultural and water quality modellers and are publicly available at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.877298a.
Multifunction waveform generator for EM receiver testing
Authors: Chen Kai , Jin Sheng , Deng Ming
Published: August 2017

Abstract. In many electromagnetic (EM) methods, such as magnetotelluric, spectrum induced polarization, time domain induced polarization, and controlled source audio magnetotelluric methods, it is important to evaluate and test the EM receivers during their development stage. To assess the performance of the developed EM receivers, controlled synthetic data that simulates the observed signals in different modes is required. Based on our testing, the frequency range, frequency precision, and time synchronization of the currently available function waveform generators in the market are deficient. This paper presents a multifunction waveform generator with three waveforms: (1) a wide-band low-noise electromagnetic field signal to be used for magnetotelluric, audio-magnetotelluric, and long period magnetotelluric studies; (2) a repeating frequency sweep square waveform for controlled source audio magnetotelluric and spectrum induced polarization studies; and (3) a positive-zero-negative-zero signal that contains primary and secondary fields for time domain induced polarization studies. In this paper, we provide the principles of the above three waveforms along with a hardware design for the generator. Furthermore, testing of the EM receiver was conducted with the waveform generator, and the results of the experiment were compared with those calculated from the simulation and theory in the frequency band of interest.
Effects of undercutting and sliding on calving: a coupled approach
applied to Kronebreen, Svalbard
Authors: Vallot Dorothée , Åström Jan , Zwinger Thomas , Pettersson Rickard , Everett Alistair , Benn Doug I. , Luckman Adrian , Van Pelt Ward J. J. , Nick Faezeh
Published: August 2017

Abstract. In this paper, we study the effects of basal friction, sub-aqueous undercutting and glacier geometry on the calving process with six different models: a continuum-mechanical ice flow model (Elmer/Ice), a climatic mass balance model, a simple subglacial hydrology model, a plume model, an undercut model and a discrete particle model to investigate fracture dynamics (Helsinki Discrete Element Model, HiDEM). We also demonstrate the feasibility of reproducing the observed calving retreat at the front of Kronebreen, a tidewater glacier in Svalbard, during a melt season. Basal sliding and glacier motion is addressed using Elmer/Ice while calving is modelled by HiDEM. An hydrology model calculates subglacial drainage paths and indicates two main outlets at relatively different rates. Depending on the discharge, the plume model computes frontal melt rates, which are iteratively projected to the actual front of the glacier at subglacial discharge locations. This produces undercutting of different sizes, as melt is concentrated close to the surface for high discharge and is more diffuse for low discharge. By testing different configurations, we show that the geometry (frontal position and topography) controls the calving location while basal sliding controls the calving rate. Undercutting plays a key role in glacier retreat and is necessary to reproduce observed retreat in the vicinity of the discharge location.

Published: August 2017

Abstract. The flow over densely forested terrain under neutral and non-neutral conditions is considered using commercially available Computational Fluid Dynamics software. Results are validated against data from a site in North-Eastern France. It is shown that the effects of both neutral and stable atmospheric stratifications can be modelled numerically using state of the art methodologies whilst unstable stratifications are more difficult to simulate accurately. The sensitivity of the numerical model to parameters such as canopy height, canopy density and the turbulence modelling constant Cμ is also assessed.
HOMOSSEXUALIDADE EM CENA: Da naturalidade ao preconceito revisitando a produção científica nacional
Authors: Pereira Diogo Fagundes
Published: August 2017

Apresenta-se nesse estudo a história do comportamento homossexual desde a antiguidade até a legitimação do preconceito flagrante e seus resquícios sutis nos dias atuais. Além disso, esse estudo objetivou evidenciar a contribuição da Psicologia em relação aos estudos científicos no âmbito da homossexualidade no país. Para tanto, realizou-se uma revisão de literatura, com os descritores: Homossexualidade, Preconceito e Psicologia, nas bases de dados online: Capes, Scielo, Index Psi e Pepesic. Onde concluiu que apesar do fenômeno do preconceito ser amplamente estudado pela Psicologia Social, existe uma inexpressiva produção em relação ao estudo da homossexualidade dentro da ciência psicológica, o que sinaliza um reforço do preconceito destinado a esse grupo minoritário.
UMA REFLEXÃO SOBRE O EMPREGO DOMÉSTICO NO BRASIL: Relações desiguais no mundo do trabalho a partir do gênero
Authors: Silva Inácio Sueley Luana , Costa Carmem Lucia
Published: August 2017

Compreendemos que uma discussão sobre o emprego doméstico na atual sociedade brasileira não se trata de algo fácil, pois é necessário levar em consideração os processos históricos culturais patriarcais no decorrer dos séculos que se materializam no espaço, desconstruindo algumas relações sociais excludentes arraigadas ao patriarcado e às questões raciais, no sentido de problematizar teoricamente a presença de um grande contingente de mulheres no emprego doméstico. De fato, não é suficiente apenas constatar que o gênero é uma construção social, torna-se necessário reconhecer os diferentes grupos e classes sociais e como o peso do gênero interfere na ocupação de determinadas profissões na sociedade, como o emprego doméstico. Assim, buscamos contribuir para o debate junto a sociedade brasileira e o meio científico, a partir da Ciência Geográfica e seu aparato conceitual metodológico, por meio do artigo UMA REFLEXÃO SOBRE O EMPREGO DOMÉSTICO NO BRASIL: relações desiguais no mundo do trabalho a partir do gênero. Destaca-se que a presente discussão é parte de uma pesquisa desenvolvida no Mestrado em Geografia pela Universidade Federal de Goiás – Regional Catalão concluída no ano de 2016, onde analisamos o trabalho doméstico e os avanços e desafios no início do século XXI para as empregadas domésticas na cidade de Catalão – Goiás. Utilizamos a revisão bibliográfica de alguns autores que discutem sobre trabalho doméstico, espaço e relações patriarcais e de gênero, como: Carrasco (2012), Corrêa (2013), Harvey (1992), Moreira (2015), Ratts (2003), Saffioti (1978), entre outros, na perspectiva de demonstrar, algumas representações sociais que discriminam e excluem determinados sujeitos na sociedade a partir do gênero, raça e cultura, como as(os) empregadas(os) domésticas(os).
CONHECIMENTOS MARGINAIS, FRONTEIRAS E ESTABILIDADE: Diversidade sexual e de gênero no ensino da arte
Authors: De Souza Edvandro L. Sombrio , Nogueira Monique Andries
Published: August 2017

Desde o final da década de 1990, quando os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais para os Temas Transversais de Orientação Sexual foram publicados, as questões de gênero e sexualidade figuram enquanto temas obrigatórios da Educação Básica brasileira. No mesmo período, a arte passou a ser reconhecida como “área de conhecimento” na LDBEN 9.394/96. Neste artigo, parte-se da percepção que, na educação formal, há processos de hierarquização e marginalização que acometem temas e, por vezes, campos de conhecimento. A partir de Louro (2015), defende-se a noção de “fronteira” como lugar de inteligibilidade em que sujeitos devem ser pensados, lugar de encontro, de subversão, de mudança. Compreendendo estas fronteiras enquanto questões epistemológicas, os campos articulados nesta pesquisa – educação, arte, ensino da arte, estudos de gênero, sexualidade – são desnaturalizados, desestabilizados, desessencializados, com o intuito de perceber como determinados grupos (de pessoas e de conhecimentos), têm sido abordados enquanto sujeitos do conhecimento no paradigma científico dominante: o das ciências naturais. Enfocando o ensino da arte e, mais especificamente, das Artes Visuais, o artigo aborda o caráter marginal desta disciplina na escola brasileira, com Nogueira (2008). Em seguida, a partir do conceito de campo científico, de Bourdieu (1997) e de autores e autoras do campo da Arte, trata-se das formas como este se constituiu, para, depois, compreender como determinadas fronteiras foram sendo visitadas, atravessadas, especialmente em obras, objetos e ações da arte contemporânea. Na seção seguinte, a partir de Loponte (2002) e Dias (2006) e suas pesquisas que articulam estudos de gênero e sexualidade ao ensino da arte, falamos de “pedagogias” exercitadas na escola, a partir de determinadas visões sobre os objetos desta pesquisa. Por fim, com Goodson (1997), e sua noção de padrão de estabilidade nos currículos, expomos a prática do “formalismo” enquanto estruturante de práticas pedagógicas, “elemento de estabilidade”, no campo do ensino da arte, nos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental como um dos possíveis obstáculos para que conhecimentos relacionados às questões de gênero e sexualidade, dentre outras, possam vir a “povoar” o ensino da arte, na educação formal brasileira.
O PLANO MUNICIPAL DE EDUCAÇÃO E A “IDEOLOGIA DE GÊNERO”: CENAS E DISCURSOS DA MÍDIA E A DISCRIMINAÇÃO DE JOVENS LGBTT NAS ESCOLAS
Authors: Mendonça Viviane Melo de
Published: August 2017

Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar as cenas e discursos da mídia durante a discussão do Plano Municipal de Educação (PME) em Sorocaba-SPe elaborar algumas considerações sobre o quanto estes resultados ressoam os dados sobre discriminação de jovens LGBTT nas escolas.Foi realizada, portanto, a coleta de um total de 52 reportagens, artigos de jornais, imagens na internet em 2015 e, em seguida, estes documentos foram sistematizados a fim de evidenciar os seus principais argumentos, ideias e práticas. Os resultados indicam que ações,respaldadas por um PME sem as questões de gênero e da diversidade sexual em seu texto, podem ameaçar os direitos sexuais e reprodutivos de jovens nas escolas, contribuindo, deste modo, para o agravamento da violência contra pessoas LGBTT. Além disso, estes discursos dão sentido e se traduzem em práticas sociais, de poder, de regulação e controle de corpos, e, neste caso, de corpos de jovens das escolas brasileiras; e, mais ainda, revelam uma relação de complementariedade e interdependência entre religiões cristãs e poderes legislativos e executivos, o que coloca perigosamente em questão a laicidade do Estado brasileiro.

Com esse objetivo, citamos a ideia de indiferença, no lugar de identificação, na oposição à diferença, conforme estudos antropológicos. Falamos sobre as tramas que servem de sustentação a um discurso de separação entre natureza e cultura e de submissão do animal e da mulher, destacando o corpo produtor nas imagens da artista plástica cubana Ana Mendieta.

BEFORE AND AFTER MISOGYNY: A Psychoanalytic Discussion
Authors: Britzman Deborah P
Published: August 2017

: For those of us working in the fields of education and psychotherapy, the insistence that misogyny affects us all brings to the forefront the painful question of lifting negation in order to think of one’s own contribution to disclaimed bodily hatred. Thinking with the psychoanalytic temporality of before and after, misogyny is approached as a mental constellation of the mind’s attraction to the disavowal, objectification, and depersonalization of gender and sexual fluidity. I examine the psychical consequences of the emotional logic of insidious misogyny in practices of education and the clinic that resists working through their role in dissociated externalized mental states. My focus is on the generation and diffusion of psychical defences of ideality, splitting, denial, and disavowal of difference that compel phantasies of omnipotence and present as attacks on what comes before and after the human condition, namely: natality, bisexuality, dependency, vulnerability, and love for the maternal environment. Themes of feminism, psychoanalysis, and queer theory are offered as a counter-depressant.Keywords: thinking, deferred action, negation, ideality, symbolic collapse, reparation.

Published: August 2017

Este artigo objetiva descrever o projeto interdisciplinar de extensão universitária “Inclusão Digital para Melhor Idade”, que vem contribuindo tanto para o conhecimento de tecnologias digitais, diminuindo o analfabetismo digital, quanto com a socialização de idosos de Matinhos/PR, por meio de oficinas realizadas na Universidade Federal do Paraná - Setor Litoral (UFPR Litoral). Para os acadêmicos, a participação vem permitindo a sensibilização de questões ligadas à terceira idade e articulação de aspectos teóricos e práticos de suas áreas, convergindo numa proposta interdisciplinar. Os acadêmicos vêm exercitando a associação do projeto com suas respectivas áreas de graduação. As estudantes de Fisioterapia, incluíram sessões de alongamento, relaxamento e ginástica laboral, além de discussões sobre saúde durante as oficinas. Os estudantes de Informática e Cidadania, agregaram conhecimentos técnicos das áreas de informática e sua interface com a inclusão digital, além de também desenvolveram uma apostila de síntese dos conteúdos abordados. A equipe vem coletivamente aprimorando sua atuação no projeto, estimulando a criatividade com novas perspectivas, como a elaboração de um logotipo e construção de Home Page do projeto; participação em eventos; construção de dossiê compilando a trajetória do projeto; bem como este artigo científico, relatando a experiência. Este trabalho vem portanto, ilustrar um pouco dessa trajetória, capaz de fomentar benefícios numa via de mão dupla: tanto para idosos que são incluídos digital e socialmente no ambiente universitário, quanto para estudantes que vêm desenvolvendo qualidades via extensão universitária e contando com um diferencial em sua formação acadêmica.

Os meios de comunicação são presença rotineira na vida de grande maioria das pessoas. As novas tecnologias evoluem de modo acelerado e nos proporcionam novos formatos de mídia e de textos. Essa influência que a inserção na sociedade da informação exerce sobre as pessoas, sobretudo para os mais jovens, constitui-se num desafio imenso para todos os que atuam na área da educação. Os jovens são o segmento que mais procuram, sobretudo na internet, os mais diversos tipos de informação. Por isso, a questão que motivou esse estudo trata dos modos e estratégias de como os conteúdos informacionais são processados e transformados em conhecimento pelos alunos de terceiro ano do Ensino Médio, participantes da atividade de extensão com oficinas de texto dissertativo-argumentativo, no período de agosto a novembro de 2010. Além disso, nos preocupamos com a questão da leitura, ou seja, como as ideias veiculadas pela mídia impressa e digital são assimiladas, refletidas e questionadas pelos alunos e, finalmente, como são traduzidas em conhecimento argumentativo na sua produção textual.

O alcoolismo e a dependência química constituem uma síndrome multifatorial com comprometimento de origem física e mental, além dos impactos sociais. Este problema se destaca hoje como um dos mais graves problemas de saúde pública, devido às complicações sobrevindas no plano somático e psíquico, além de profunda repercussão no meio social. Os pacientes alcoólatras e/ou usuários de drogas ilícitas apresentam um risco elevado ao desenvolvimento de várias doenças bucais. Os indivíduos que participaram deste projeto foram submetidos a exame intrabucal sob o auxílio de luz artificial nas enfermarias. Quando necessário, biopsias foram realizadas nos pacientes com lesões bucais sem diagnóstico clínico definitivo. Todos os pacientes eram do sexo masculino e com média de idade de 38,8 anos. O consumo médio de bebidas alcoólicas foi de 1,56 litros/dia. Em geral, os pacientes também faziam uso de cigarros industrializados ou usaram outras drogas ilícitas (crack, maconha e cocaína). As condições bucais mais frequentemente diagnosticadas nestes pacientes foram: doença periodontal, cárie, língua saburrosa e a candidose bucal. Este grupo de pacientes apresenta um risco elevado ao desenvolvimento de doenças bucais, especialmente as infecções oportunistas e o câncer bucal. O diagnóstico precoce, o tratamento e a prevenção destas entidades promovem uma melhoria na saúde e na qualidade de vida destes indivíduos.

REDE DE DIVULGAÇÃO E POPULARIZAÇÃO DE CIÊNCIA, TECNOLOGIA & INOVAÇÃO (CT&I) NO EXTREMO SUL GAÚCHO
Authors: Chiesa Bartelmebs Roberta , Da Silva João Alberto
Published: August 2017

Neste trabalho apresentamos o projeto de extensão Rede de divulgação e popularização de Ciência, tecnologia & inovação (Ct&I) no extremo Sul gaúcho, contemplado no Edital PROEXT 2013. O projeto previu ações nos campos da popularização das Ciências Naturais; divulgação da produção científica e tecnológica; promoção do conhecimento científico, e também teve atuação na educação não formal, por meio da educação financeira e educação alimentar. Em geral, os benefícios científicos e tecnológicos são considerados como um privilégio de poucos, deixando à margem grande parte da população. Compreender a ciência, a tecnologia e a inovação como foco da extensão para inclusão social é um campo inovador e ainda pouco reconhecido devido ao seu ineditismo, ainda que os avanços científicos e tecnológicos sejam direito universal e alienável de todos os seres humanos.
Early Readers and Academic Success
Authors: Leahy Marie A. , Fitzpatrick Nicole M.
Published: August 2017

This study examined the degree to which the age that a child learns to read affects his or her future academic success. In recent years, society and school districts, as well as an increasing number of parents, have been urging children to read at earlier ages. Therefore, in order to investigate the research question, an extensive survey was developed and electronically dispersed to individuals eighteen years of age or older. The survey was completed by 220 respondents, collected, and evaluated. The survey results provided quantitative data on respondents’ demographic backgrounds as well as their childhood reading and academic histories. A significant number of respondents, 85%, said they regarded the age a child learns to read as important. Over 82% of early readers, ages three and four, described their overall academic success as either “Excellent” or “Very Good”, which was 12% higher than the respondents who did not learn to read until age six or older. The factors that were not impacted by the age the respondents learned to read was whether or not they went to college or earned advanced degrees. Therefore, while academic success is often perceived as getting good grades in school, is that really enough? The respondents who learned to read at an early age generally earned good grades in school, but that did not necessarily translate to being more likely to go to college or earn an advanced degree, which is a strong measure of overall academic success.

New bryozoan species from the Pleistocene of the Wanganui Basin, North Island, New Zealand
Authors: Di Martino Emanuela , Taylor Paul D. , Gordon Dennis P. , Liow Lee Hsiang
Published: August 2017

Three new fossil bryozoan species, a ctenostome and two cheilostomes, are described and figured from Pleistocene strata of the Wanganui Basin, New Zealand. Buskia waiinuensis sp. nov., a soft-body ctenostome preserved as a mould bioimmuration, is the first fossil record of the genus from New Zealand. Microporella rusti sp. nov., which is notable for the lack of ooecia in the large suite of colonies available, is one of the most common bryozoans in the Nukumaru Limestone and Nukumaru Brown Sand shellbeds, forming large encrusting sheet-like colonies, but is uncommon in younger beds. Rare, small-sized colonies of Parkermavella columnaris sp. nov. were found as fossil in two Quaternary beds, the Nukumaru Limestone and the Upper Kai-Iwi Shellbed, and also alive on rocks from the greater Cook Strait area.
