Gesellschaftliches Lernen im Reallabor: Transdisziplinäre Suchbewegungen am Beispiel des partizipativen Studierendenprojekts in:takt
Authors: Franke Theresa , Hoffmann Florian , Marquardt Editha , Pohlenz Philipp
Published: April 2022

Real-world laboratories are receiving increasing public attention and have established themselves as a relevant research format in technology assessment. They appear particularly suited to address current challenges through social learning. However, references to educational implications have remained largely unexplored theoretically to date. Against this background, we consider learning processes in real- world laboratories in terms of their contribution to social learning. To this end, starting from critical education theory, the article reconstructs three dimensions of learning in the real-world laboratory using the Magdeburg student project in:takt as a case study. As a result, learning processes in real-world laboratories prove to be an experimental and spatial appropriation of the world that contributes to overcoming societal challenges.
Przez oświatę do wolności. Inicjatywy oświatowo-kulturalne Towarzystwa Polskiego Bratniej Pomocy i Czytelni Polskiej w Czerniowcach w drugiej połowie XIX i na początku XX wieku

The aim of the article was to show examples of the cultural and educational activities of the Polish Brotherly Aid and Polish Reading Society in Chernivtsi. It started its activity in March 1869 and continued it in the following decades. It combined the task of providing material aid to the Poles living there with activities aimed at counteracting their denationalization. The analysis of source materials made it possible to identify those forms of activity which were defined as moral assistance. It played an important role as the first such association, uniting many people in their concern to preserve their national identity and fight against enslavement. The premises of the Society also unite representatives of national minorities nowadays.
Strategies for Supporting the Development of Manual Skills in Preschool and Early School Age Children
Authors: Wójcik Magdalena
Published: April 2022

The development of fine motor skills in preschool and early school age children is a difficult and long process, and its disturbance may not only lead to serious problems with the process of drawing or writing, but also disrupt the purely academical learning. That is why it is so important to take into account the overall effects of improving manual skills, the specificity of the child’s perceptual and motor functioning at a given stage of development and to respect the key elements of the diagnostic and improvement strategy.
Análisis de los problemas planteados por la traducción al español y al portugués de los Nominalkomposita alemanes en los textos destinados a la enseñanza y divulgación de la ciencia
Authors: Garrido Carlos
Published: April 2022

Nominalkomposita, which are nouns and adjectives formed by the fusion of two or more vernacular words, are a frequent terminological component of German texts. This paper analyses in depth, resorting to examples taken from the author’s experience as a scientific translator and as a translation instructor, the main problems involved in the translation into Spanish and Portuguese of Nominalkomposita occurring in German texts aimed at science education and popularization. Those translation problems can be grouped into two categories, one of a general nature, deriving from the fact that many of those compound words have a non-additive translation, and even a non-additive denotation, and the other of a special nature, which consists in the existence of 1:2 or 1:3 equivalence relations that stem both from the combination of polysemy in the source language with monosemy in the target language, and from a lack of denotative specificity in some Nominalkomposita making up terminological doublets, thus giving rise to concept inclusion in translation.

Published: April 2022

En este trabajo, mostramos los resultados de un estudio empírico en el que los estudiantes de la asignatura Traducción Intercultural se enfrentan a un texto político en sus respectivas lenguas B (inglés o francés) en el que han de trasvasar el contenido semántico y formal al español y respetar las características de naturaleza retórica, las cuales pueden suponer grandes retos traductológicos. Utilizando como metodología las aportaciones de Van Dijk (1997), Schäffner y Wiesemann (2001) y la competencia traductora (Kelly 2002), llevamos a cabo una propuesta didáctica basada en cuestionarios para demostrar que el Análisis del Discurso es imprescindible en la fase pretraductora del encargo.
A typology of northwestern Bantu gender systems
Authors: Di Garbo Francesca , Verkerk Annemarie
Published: April 2022

Northwestern Bantu is the most linguistically diverse area of the Bantu-speaking world. Several unusual grammatical gender systems are reported for this area, but there has been a lack of comprehensive comparative studies. This article is a typological investigation of northwestern Bantu gender systems based on a sample of 179 languages. We study the distribution of various patterns of animacy-based agreement in the languages of the sample and in relationship with the Agreement Hierarchy. We find that animacy-based agreement is widespread in northwestern Bantu. If restricted to animate nouns, it tends to coexist in stable variation with syntactic agreement. When generalized to both animate and inanimate nouns, animacy-based agreement appears to contribute to the erosion of gender marking. In line with the prediction of the Agreement Hierarchy, we find that animacy-based agreement is prevalent with verbs and pronouns. Within the noun phrase, it spreads in ways that are suggestive of a hierarchy of syntactic integration between nouns and adnominal modifiers, which had gone unnoticed in the existing literature. These results have important implications for current models of Bantu gender systems and shed new light on animacy effects in the diachrony of gender more generally.
Vowel harmony in Laz Turkish: a case study in language contact and language change
Authors: Demir Neşe
Published: April 2022

Laz Turkish (LT) is a nonstandard variety of Turkish mainly spoken in the North East of Turkey. LT emerged due to language contact between Turkish (Turkic) and Laz (Kartvelian). Laz has a smaller vowel system compared to Turkish and this has impacted the vowel harmony (VH) system in LT. In contrast to ST, which has a productive VH system, LT has only partially productive VH. Based on a corpus of fieldwork data collected in Rize, Turkey, this study investigates how LT displays partial harmony. The results show that (i) /ɯ, y, œ/ are rare in LT, and ST /ɯ, y, œ/ correspond to /i, u, o/ in LT respectively, (ii) open syllables in LT tend to have /i/ compared to closed syllables which tend to occur with /u/, and (iii) the smaller vowel system has led to disharmony with respect to preceding vowels, but /i u o/ still trigger harmony on following vowels, so VH does not peter out across the word.

Antibreast cancer activities of 131 phytochemicals from Annona muricata
(Soursop) were investigated against human placental aromatase (PDB ID: 3S7S), a prominent target receptor in breast cancer therapy using computer aided-drug design approach. An antibreast cancer drug (tamoxifen) was used for comparison. The result of this work flourishes caffeoquinic acid (−8.4 kcal/mol), roseoside (−8.3 kcal/mol), chlorogenic acid (−8.2 kcal/mol), feruloylglycoside (−8.1 kcal/mol), citroside A (−8.0 kcal/mol), and coreximine (−7.8 kcal/mol), as probable inhibitors of human placental aromatase. This is due to their excellent binding affinities (ΔG), coupled with outstanding druglike, absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity profiles, bioavailability and oral-bioavailability properties, and the interactions of important residues with the active pocket of human placental aromatase. All the results obtained were similar to that of the standards tamoxifen (−8.0 kcal/mol) but could be better when optimized. Thus, lead optimization, molecular dynamics, and in vivo investigations are thereby recommended on the identified potent compounds in the quest of developing new therapeutic agents against breast cancer.
Eine ferne Vergangenheit in fernen Landen … Vergangenheitsbezüge und interkulturelle Kommunikation bei frühmittelalterlichen Bestattungsplätzen mit skandinavischer Prägung im südlichen Ostseeraum
Authors: Schumann Robert
Published: April 2022

In diesem Beitrag wird ein spezieller Aspekt der Bestattungssitten im Rahmen der kulturellen Interaktionen im späten Frühmittelalter im Ostseeraum betrachtet: Die Nachnutzung alter Grabhügelfelder durch skandinavische Gruppen an der südlichen Ostseeküste. In dieser Zeit kommt es zu verstärkten Kontakten zwischen skandinavischen Gruppen und an der südlichen Ostseeküste siedelnden Gemeinschaften. In diesem Zusammenhang kommt es zur Gründung von Handelsorten und Kolonien skandinavischer Gruppen an der südlichen Ostseeküste. Bei den zugehörigen Bestattungsplätzen lässt sich an verschiedenen Fundorten die Nachnutzung alter Grabhügelfelder aufzeigen. Diese Nachnutzung stellt in diesem speziellen Fall eine Aneignung dar, mit der einerseits innergesellschaftliche Aspekte, wie beispielsweise die Stärkung der Gruppenidentität, ausgehandelt werden und eine (fiktive) kollektive Erinnerung geschaffen wird. Andererseits finden sie im Rahmen interkultureller Kontakte statt und bieten somit Anknüpfungspunkte an die Frage der interkulturellen Interaktion. Dabei ist die Nachnutzung und Aneignung der Bestattungsplätze im Zusammenhang mit der Legitimation der Anwesenheit auch gegenüber den heimischen Siedlungsgruppen, der Genese eines auf die Örtlichkeiten bezogenen kulturellen Gedächtnisses und der Überwindung von Fremdheit zu sehen.

Published: April 2022

The article analyses the conscious use of the principle of ethnocentrism in the perception and understanding of Lithuanian vocabulary at the level of short-term education in courses in the Lithuanian language and culture. The use of the methods of analogy and association allowed users of East Slavic languages to identify shared and different characteristics with their native language. Common features include vocabulary with phonetic consonances, among which internationalisms make up a separate group. Various signs are associated with ‘false friends’ and diphthongs.
AN ATTEMPT AT PERFORMANCE AND TEXTOLOGICAL RESEARCH ON THE HUTSULKA (BASED ON THE OLDEST AUDIO RECORDING)
Authors: Pavliv Yarema
Published: April 2022

The article is devoted to an ethnomusicological, musical-textological, and performing analysis of the traditional dance the Hutsulka. The material is an audio recording of an anonymous wedding band from the Galician-Hutsul part of the Ukrainian Carpathians, made in the first half of the 20th century. This recording is included in the album ‘Music of the Ukraine’ released by the studio Folkways Records USA (vinyl, 1951). As the oldest known audio recording of the Hutsulka, the piece ‘Hutsulka and Kozachok Dances’ is characterised by an original interpretation of the genre at the musical form-building and thematic levels. Based on an analysis of the musical form, the melodic scale and the rhythmic structure, typical features of the performance style of the Kosmach-Brustury tradition are revealed. They are especially evident in the playing by the fiddler and fuyarnist. The identity of the fiddler was established hypothetically, by comparing these data with the testimonies of respondents.

Abstract
This article seeks to evaluate whether the fifth ideological filter presented in the Herman-Chomsky propaganda model in 1988 is detected when researching the activities of the online popular entertainment industry and its principles, and to what degree these activities contribute to the spread of prevailing political narratives in the West. The research investigates three popular online entertainment culture websites, whose content is evaluated based on the presence of prevailing Western narratives, and whether they are presented positively (approvingly) or negatively (disapprovingly). The results of the study reveal that although political narrative structures are detected while researching cultural content in popular online culture, they do not play a major role in the overall content, and the contribution to the spread of narratives depends on the editorial policies of the websites, and the forms of the published popular culture content.

Authors: Torvi Amrutha , D Prashanth , S Soujanya , Patil Lingraj
Published: April 2022

Hypertension is a vascular disease entity that is a common problem occurring worldwide, characterized by sustained elevated blood pressure. Losartan and atenolol are two medications that are commonly used in hypertensive patients. However, the mechanism of tolerability their effect on lipid profile is not clearly described. Thus, the aims of this study were to study the tolerability of losartan with atenolol in patients with hypertension and the changes in lipid profile on treatment. This research was a prospective, open-label, parallel-group, comparative study conducted in the medicine out-patient department (OPD), where 100 patients aged 40-60 years with newly diagnosed mild and moderate hypertension. We classified patients randomly into two groups, losartan, and atenolol (50 patients of each). Patients were recruited for a period of 6 months and were called for follow-up visits at the third and sixth months. In this study mean age of the patients was 52.72 years. Our study observed that baseline systolic (P=0.704), as well as diastolic blood pressure (BP) (P=0.324), was comparable between both groups. Both systolic (P=0.125), as well as diastolic BP (P=0.108) at 6-months, was comparable between both groups. It was observed that mean total cholesterol levels were comparable between both groups at baseline (P=0.665). Moreover, adverse effects were observed more commonly in group atenolol, headache being the most common followed by dizziness and palpitation. Our study observed that both losartan and atenolol are equally effective in long- term reduction of blood pressure. Additionally, losartan also significantly improved lipid profile.

Published: April 2022

The use of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) to provide acute haemodynamic support for cardiogenic shock or to support high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (HRPCI) has grown over the past decade. There is currently no consensus on best practice regarding its use in these two distinct indications. Impella heart pumps (Abiomed) are intravascular microaxial blood pumps that provide temporary MCS during HRPCI or in the treatment of cardiogenic shock. The authors outline technical specifications of the individual Impella heart pumps and their accompanying technology, the Automated Impella Controller and SmartAssist, their indications for use and patient selection, implantation techniques, device weaning and escalation, closure strategies, anticoagulation regimens, complications, future directions and upcoming trials.
Automation for structured cabling system in data centers using Building Information Modelling
Authors: Pogorelskiy Sergey , Kocsis Imre
Published: April 2022

Building Information Modelling (BIM) involves management efforts, tools and applications for enhancing information flow and, therefore, productivity of projects; adoption of BIM and the increasing use of digital technologies (e.g. data centers) in construction and operation of buildings, as well as in maintenance can transform the way how the industry works. Telecommunication cabinets equipped with large number of components of different types are inevitable parts of data centers having a significant influence on the efficiency and the reliability of data centers. Since the layout of equipment inside telecommunication cabinets is crucial in data centers and the ideal location of equipment inside each cabinet can be unique, an algorithmic and automated process is necessary for the cabinet façade scheme design; manually created diagrams can lead to errors. Furthermore, precise and up-to-date pieces of information about the special layout of equipment in each cabinet are also important for the further operation and maintenance. As an answer to this challenge, a BIM-based approach and method are presented in this article that can result in significant cost savings. When designing data centers, special attention must be paid to the location of telecommunication cabinets, the design of cable routes, and the layout of equipment inside. The novel cabinet family for BIM technology-based method has been developed for the improvement of data center design. Cable trays plug-in can lead to higher quality and efficiency of construction and the facility management as well.

The main goal of the case study: optimization of the design process of structured cabling systems (SCS) in data centers (DC) using new additional BIM capabilities.

The novel dynamic cabinet family have several distinctive features:

the ability to select in the properties which equipment will be inside the cabinet and which unit will occupy;

possibility to change and add equipment inside the cabinet;

creation of cabinet façade scheme based on equipment inside the cabinet;

automatically created specification;

Cable tray plug-in can improve and automate the design process in the following areas:

place trays depending on the installation method (wall, floor, ceiling);

place elements of the trays (hangers, consoles, racks) in a user-defined interval;

place tray connectors based on selected connector type and tray type at user-selectable spacing;

adding a tray cover and a partition in the tray properties;

automatically created specification of all cable trays elements.

The model created in BIM can be used for further operation and maintenance. To reach it, each of the elements or groups of elements contains a unique number that allows to bind its parameters and geometry for further export and use in the production model.
Implementation in restorative treatments in public health: a 10-year analysis of resin composite procurement in Brazil

Published: April 2022

This study aims to assess the resin composite purchases in a public health system and understand the variables associated with its cost and with the decision-making process over a period of 10 years. Secondary data collection was performed using the Brazilian Healthcare Prices Database (BDHP) from 2010 to 2019. All conventional and bulk-fill composites were selected. Date of purchase, institution type and location, procurement modality, number of purchased items, manufacture, and unit prices were collected. A multiple linear regression model assessed the influence of price in the procurement variables, while a multinomial logistic regression compared purchase probabilities between the materials. In total, 18,138 observations were collected with 2,129,294 purchased units and a total cost of USD 43,504,260.00. Conventional composites appeared in 98.5% of the procurement process. Nanofilled conventional composites were the most purchased materials, with an increased probability of purchase over time, despite its higher prices. An increase in prices was predicted for bulk-fill materials when compared to conventional ones. The odds of purchasing this category increased by 3.14x for every price increase over the years. Sociodemographic and type of institution influences the prices and the probability of procurement in the healthcare system. Nanofilled and bulk-fill resin are increasingly included in clinical practice. These findings highlight possible modifications to the standard-of-care in restorative treatments and how the translation of knowledge may occur from the development of new materials to the clinical application considering the economic impact of these modifications.
The Military Orders, the Muslim World, and the Dilemmas of Conviviality: Connected Histories as a Critical Approach to the History of the Crusades
Authors: SALLES Bruno Tadeu
Published: April 2022

Abstract This article explores the potentialities of the Connected Histories method for the study of the Crusades, and more specifically of the Military Orders. The corpus initially takes shape in a papal document of 1179 that listed the disputes between the Templars and the Hospitallers. In it, we find itinerant Islamic communities under the care of the Temple. We also turn to the agreement between Baybars and the Hospitallers, dated 1267, which established a co-dominium between the Sultan and the Order. Included in this agreement was the control over Bedouins and Turkmen. Both documents can serve as a laboratory for the application of the assumptions concerning the Connected Histories method. In addition, the paper goes on to outline the recent historiographical positions about the relationships between the Military Orders, the Muslim communities, and the established powers in the Levant. The central idea is to analyze both forced and consensual movements within a play of scales that brings together the displacement of captives, the itinerancy of Bedouins, and the Mongol advance. Then the paper explains how the intensification of movements would put the historical subjects before the dilemmas of conviviality, whose answers made the interactions relentless to mere fierce opposition or to the idea contained in the Geography of Fear hypothesis.
O Apocalipse da natureza de Walking Stewart (1747-1822): Um excêntrico no Iluminismo?
Authors: CARVALHO Daniel Gomes de
Published: April 2022

Resumo Este artigo versa sobre o viajante e pensador londrino John Walking Stewart (1747-1822), figura pouco estudada entre os historiadores. Quase todos os registros encontrados sobre o andarilho consideram-no, tanto em sua época como na posteridade, um “excêntrico”. De acordo com Benjamin Rush, o próprio autor teria dito que, “enquanto o centro da conduta ordinária for o erro”, ele estaria em “estado de excentricidade para sempre”. Seus textos são permeados por temas como o vitalismo, o espinosismo e o fascínio pela Índia, o que levou os historiadores a o qualificarem como um antecessor do “vegetarianismo romântico”, do “pós-estruturalismo”, do “socialismo owenita” e do “pós-humanismo”. Apoiado na escassa historiografia sobre o assunto, nos escritos do autor (em especial, Apocalypse of Nature e The Revelation of Nature) e nas diversas fontes primárias a que tivemos acesso (principalmente seu obituário, os textos de seu amigo De Quincey e de seu parente Brande), este artigo propõe-se a compreender e superar o paradigma da excentricidade na interpretação da vida e obra de Stewart, auxiliando no entendimento tanto do autor em seu próprio tempo, quanto da própria natureza do Iluminismo Tardio. Pretende-se, em resumo, oferecer outros caminhos de compreensão da vida e da obra de Walking Stewart.
Colecionando ao longo das rotas de navegação: A Norddeutscher Lloyd e a sua importância para o Museu Municipal de História Natural, Etnologia e Comércio de Bremen, 1896-1914
Authors: SCHOLZ Markus Alexander
Published: April 2022

Resumo O Übersee-Museum Bremen foi criado em 1896 como Museu Municipal de História Natural, Etnologia e Comércio. O estabelecimento do museu com essas três seções remonta a uma exposição organizada pelos comerciantes da antiga cidade hanseática no ano de 1890 em cooperação com o diretor das coleções etnográficas e de História Natural da cidade. Juntos, propunham-se a mostrar não só as mercadorias que os comerciantes traziam do ultramar, mas também os entornos naturais e culturais dos espaços de origem dessas mercadorias. A exposição levou à fundação do museu, e as relações entre os funcionários do museu e os comerciantes da cidade se estreitaram. Especialmente a companhia marítima mais importante de Bremen, a Norddeutscher Lloyd, deu o seu apoio em termos financeiros e logísticos, mas também influenciava através das suas sucursais e linhas marítimas onde e quando se podiam adquirir objetos para ampliar os acervos do museu. Dessa maneira, a companhia teve um efeito na produção de conhecimento científico que, nessa época, baseava-se na coleta de objetos etnográficos e espécimes botânicos e zoológicos. Esta contribuição, portanto, volta-se para as redes de contato e os agentes interligados ao museu e aos seus acervos.
As Escolas internacionalistas da Ilha da Juventude: Formação revolucionária de jovens africanos em Cuba (anos 1970 e 1980)
Authors: SILVA Alexsandro de Sousa e , VILLAÇA Mariana Martins
Published: April 2022

Resumo Neste artigo abordamos as chamadas escolas internacionalistas criadas na Ilha da Juventude, em Cuba, nos anos 1970, voltadas especialmente para alunos/as estrangeiros/as provenientes de países com os quais o governo cubano possuía relações de solidariedade internacional e interesses de cooperação militar e política. A partir da análise de reportagens do cinejornal cubano Noticiero ICAIC Latinoamericano produzidas nos anos 1970 e 80, de testemunhos publicados de ex-alunos/as e do diálogo com a historiografia sobre o tema, buscamos entender as condições em que estudantes, muitos deles/as africanos/as, viveram e estudaram em Cuba, experienciando o que o governo cubano propagava como uma formação revolucionária. Situamos essa experiência no contexto da política educacional implantada após a revolução de 1959, mediante a qual educação e trabalho eram tratados como atividades complementares, amparadas nos princípios de formação do “homem novo”. Constatamos que esse programa de cooperação integrou de forma importante as estratégias de diplomacia internacional cubana, especialmente no tocante às relações com a África. Analisamos, também, algumas implicações advindas dessa presença estrangeira em Cuba, em um contexto de gradual crise econômica proveniente da desintegração da URSS.
De volta à Europa: Rememorar as revoluções de 1989 trinta anos depois, Praga e Budapeste

Published: April 2022

Resumo Este artigo propõe analisar as comemorações, em 2019, dos 30 anos das revoluções de 1989 na Europa Central, responsáveis pela queda dos regimes comunistas na região. Para tanto, tomarei como objeto e fonte duas exposições em cartaz naquele ano: a exposição fotográfica 1989 - Pád železné opony (1989 - The Fall of the Iron Curtain), organizada em Praga, na República Tcheca; e a mostra de pôsteres ‘89 ‘90 - 30 Éve Szabadon (‘89 ‘90 - 30 Years of Freedom), em Budapeste, Hungria. A partir do estudo comparado das duas exposições, bem como da análise dos processos políticos que marcaram a transição democrática na República Tcheca e na Hungria nos últimos trinta anos, pretende-se compreender como as narrativas em torno das revoluções de 1989 vêm-se estruturando na região em um momento de crise democrática e ascensão das direitas conservadoras. Ao mesmo tempo, o artigo considera a memória em torno das revoluções de 1989 a partir do ponto de vista do chamado “retorno à Europa” dos países do antigo bloco comunista.
Dynamic tensions in the budgetary system of a family business and the duality of structure
Authors: Almeida Dalci Mendes , Gasparetto Valdirene
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT This article aimed to understand the dynamic tensions in the budgetary system of a family business based on the duality of structure perspective. The research on dynamic tensions in the budgetary system of family businesses is inconclusive. Dynamic tensions are explored in light of traditional theories, and few studies use Simons’ (1995) four levers of control. Moreover, the management control systems (MCSs) of family businesses have particularities that need to be explored. These particularities of family businesses provide different explanations for the dynamic tensions in the budgetary system. Duality of structure enables an understanding of the interaction between the structure and agents’ actions in the production and reproduction of the social order of a family business, within a context of dynamic tensions in the budgetary system. The research revealed the dynamic tensions in the budgetary system of a family business in one budgetary cycle. The findings are relevant since, based on a duality of structure perspective, they present indications that these dynamic tensions are associated with positive forces (belief and interactive control systems) in interaction with negative forces (boundary and diagnostic control systems). This is a single case study in a medium-sized family business engaged in the production and sale of foods. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documents, and analyzed based on discursive textual analysis. The evidence suggests that the social order of the family business is produced and reproduced with the dynamic tensions that occur in the planning and control stages of the budgetary system. The study contributes to the literature on dynamic tensions in the budgetary system of a family business by addressing what they are and how these tensions occur based on the duality of structure perspective. It contributes to practice, as it enables an understanding and better management of these tensions and the achievement of budgetary goals and objectives.
Mortality of large macaws by electrocution in an urban area, Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil
Authors: Tinoco Larissa , Calderan Aline , Appel Sabrina Cristiane , Vicente Eliane , Guedes Neiva Maria Robaldo
Published: April 2022

Abstract Electrocution is a theme that has been rarely reported for large macaws. The objective of this study was to analyze mortality of macaws due to electrocution in an urban area of Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul. Between 2011 and 2020, 59 macaws were registered as having died through electrocution, and these were from two species: Ara ararauna (Linnaeus, 1758) and Ara chloropterus (Gray, 1859). A. ararauna had the largest number of deaths registered (48), and A. chloropterus had 11 individuals. Electrocution was shown to be an important factor for the loss of large macaws in this urban environment. Body size, wingspan, and behavior of the macaws, as well as location and proximity of food resources and nests to electrical structures, were shown to increase the probability of electrocution. These results demonstrate the need to develop mitigation measures to reconcile the sustainable development of a medium-sized city such as Campo Grande with biodiversity conservation.
Genetic Heritage Management Council and the coordination of the access and benefit-sharing policy in Brazil
Authors: Castro Biancca Scarpeline de , Santos Anna Carla Carvalho dos
Published: April 2022

Abstract The purpose of the article is to discuss the functioning of the Genetic Heritage Management Council (CGen, acronym in Portuguese) from the enactment of Law No. 13,123 / 2015 until December 2019, to understand its role as coordinator of the benefit-sharing policy. CGen’s work context was presented and the theoretical framework of public policy coordination was discussed. The research was carried out based on the analysis of the minutes of the 24 meetings held by the Board, seeking to identify the frequency of full members, the participation of listeners, and the most discussed topics at the meetings. The CGen was found to be a leader in law enforcement, which seeks to use communication and standardization as mechanisms for its coordination. However, the low participation of beneficiaries of the policy and representatives of states and municipalities calls into question the effectiveness of the policy.
Groundwater Governance and the Construction of Legal Indicators for Brazilian States
Authors: Villar Pilar Carolina , Hirata Ricardo
Published: April 2022

Abstract The 1988 Brazilian Federal Constitution granted a leading role in groundwater governance to the states and the Federal District. However, there are no studies evaluating how these entities conducted this process from a national public policy perspective. The present article aims to identify national legal obligations related to groundwater governance and develop a tool to determine whether the states have appropriately implemented them. Our methodology includes document analysis and interviews. The federal legislation provided standard mechanisms for state management, allowing for structuring a Groundwater Governance Assessment System (SAGAS: the acronym in Portuguese) that comprises 48 primary and 25 secondary indicators. SAGAS is a methodological effort to create a legal indicator to generate comparable and systematized data on states’ environment of governance to help identify management weaknesses.
CORRELAÇÕES ENTRE OS PERFIS COMPORTAMENTAIS, FUNCIONAMENTO EXECUTIVO E EMPATIA NA PERTURBAÇÃO DO ESPECTRO DO AUTISMO: ORIENTAÇÕES PARA A INTERVENÇÃO1
Authors: BRÍGIDO Evelina , RODRIGUES Ana , SANTOS Sofia
Published: April 2022

RESUMO: A Perturbação do Espectro do Autismo (PEA) caracteriza-se por défices na comunicação e na interação social e por padrões repetitivos e restritos do comportamento, eventualmente explicados por alterações nas funções executivas (FE) e empatia. O objetivo desta investigação foi, assim, estudar as relações entre os comportamentos típicos da PEA, FE e empatia, de forma a estabelecer orientações de intervenção. O Questionário dos Comportamentos Típicos da PEA, o Inventário Comportamental de Avaliação das Funções Executivas – Pais e a Escala de Avaliação da Empatia foram aplicados a 75 crianças com PEA (9.67±1.29). Os resultados apontaram correlações positivas entre a sintomatologia da PEA e as FE, nomeadamente na regulação comportamental e na metacognição. A correlação positiva mais forte (p<.01) ocorreu entre a alternância e os comportamentos totais (r=.660), e padrões restritos e repetitivos (r=.665) e comunicação e interação social (r=.536). Todos os domínios e os subdomínios apresentaram associações com a iniciação e a planificação. Não se verificaram correlações entre os domínios e os subdomínios da PEA e empatia, apenas com alguns comportamentos específicos. Verificou-se que a empatia cognitiva estava associada à regulação comportamental. Esses resultados sugerem que as FE e a empatia têm um papel preponderante na melhoria dos défices sociais e não-sociais da PEA e a importância da intervenção individualizada centrada nas características da PEA, na empatia e nas FE, nomeadamente na regulação comportamental e na metacognição. A intervenção deve abranger não apenas os sintomas da PEA, mas também processos cognitivos subjacentes que possibilitam a melhoria dos comportamentos e uma maior adaptação a diferentes contextos e situações.

RESUMO: A literatura consagrou a importância de suporte e de atitudes solidárias na vida de pessoas que enfrentam adversidades. Nesse sentido, este estudo objetivou identificar e discutir o fenômeno da solidariedade intergeracional entre mães e avós de crianças com deficiência em uma amostra brasileira. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, de caráter quantitativo. Os dados foram coletados com 76 participantes: díades de avós e mães de crianças com deficiência que apresentam dependência de adultos no cotidiano. Instrumentos de autorrelato foram administrados individualmente para apreender dimensões da relação intergeracional, de ambivalência e maturidade das mães e das avós. Os resultados indicam que a ambivalência intergeracional é a dimensão com valores mais baixos nas mães, mas uma das dimensões com valores mais elevados nas avós, juntamente à maturidade parental. Algumas implicações podem ser retiradas para a necessidade de levar em consideração a riqueza e a complexidade existente na reciprocidade das relações intergeracionais no geral e, em particular, entre cuidadoras de crianças com elevado nível de dependência. As intervenções, que visem colaborar para a coesão e bem-estar dessas famílias, devem considerar o papel desempenhado não só pela mãe e pelo pai, como cuidadores principais, mas também pelos avós, atendendo tanto ao apoio que prestam como às suas próprias necessidades de apoio, de informação e de autonomia. Estudos futuros podem tentar esclarecer, do ponto de vista qualitativo e quantitativo, essas relações diádicas, assim como introduzir outros indicadores de risco e de ajustamento adicionais, como outras pessoas que podem ser fontes de apoio, sejam ou não membros da família biológica.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a autopercepção de crianças e adolescentes com deficiência auditiva e de suas famílias quanto ao uso diário dos dispositivos auditivos, comparando o uso referido com os dados de data logging, bem como conhecer os seus benefícios autorrelatados. Métodos Estudo transversal, observacional, descritivo-analítico. Aplicados questionários a 38 famílias e seus filhos com deficiência auditiva, bem como coletado o data logging com o número de horas/dia de uso dos aparelhos auditivos. Realizada a análise descritiva e comparativa, por meio do coeficiente de Kappa, entre o data logging e o uso referido pelos usuários e famílias, além da análise qualitativa sobre a percepção de ambos com relação aos dispositivos. Resultados As crianças, adolescentes e suas famílias superestimaram, respectivamente, em média, 5,3 e 2,5 horas por dia o tempo de uso, em comparação à medida de data logging. Os usuários referiram benefícios com o uso dos equipamentos, embora o uso e o manuseio dos microfones remotos tenham sido o maior desafio identificado, tanto para eles como para as suas famílias. Conclusão Houve discordância entre o número de horas relatadas pelos usuários e famílias entre si, bem como entre eles e a medição do data logging. As famílias referiram a necessidade de mais orientações quanto aos microfones remotos, o que aponta para a importância da intervenção personalizada voltada ao empoderamento desses familiares, crianças e adolescentes, com o envolvimento da equipe escolar e rede de apoio, identificadas pelas famílias como essenciais para o uso efetivo dos dispositivos auditivos.
A Review of the Recent Advances of Cardiac Pacemaker Technology in Handling Complications
Authors: Lowe Megan , Nguyen Lily , Patel Dhiman J.
Published: April 2022

The total number of annual pacemaker implantations continues to grow globally, and help patients with heart rhythm disorders with an improved quality of life and reduced mortality. The first implantable pacemakers appeared in 1965, characterized by their bulkiness, short battery life, and a single pacing mode. Innovation led to the modern pacemaker: a smaller system with improved battery life and capacity, and innovation in lead technology. Certain arrhythmia conditions may also qualify for leadless pacemaker implantation, thus eliminating the spectrum of complications that could occur with leads. Adverse events can be divided into acute (perforation, lead dislodgement, infection) and long-term (lead fractures, device infection, insulation failure). Traditional long-term complications with leads occur in 10% of patients, compared with device-related adverse effects observed in 6.7% of leadless pacemakers. Furthermore, cardiac pacemaker implantation results in quality of life improvements across all age groups. Large cardiac rehabilitation studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of exercise in reducing the physical complications involved with pacemaker implantation. Of the three randomized controlled trials examined, all of them reported some benefit of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control. The following review aims to discuss the multitude of pacemaker options potentially available for the clinician, complications, their course of management, and the path forward with innovations arising out of previous research within the field.
High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry for the Measurement of PTH and PTH Fragments: Insights into PTH Physiology and Bioactivity

Published: April 2022

Full-length parathyroid hormone (PTH 1–84) is crucial for the regulation of calcium and phosphate homeostasis and bone remodeling. PTH 1–84 is metabolized into various PTH fragments, which are measured with varying levels of efficiency by PTH immunoassays. These PTH fragments, which increase in serum as CKD progresses, could potentially modulate the effects of PTH 1–84 and contribute to CKD-associated bone disorders. To obtain a true biologic representation of total PTH bioactivity, it is necessary to measure not only PTH 1–84 but also PTH fragments that are present in circulation. Traditional second-generation PTH immunoassays collectively measure PTH 1–84, PTH fragments, and post-translationally modified PTH 1–84, making it difficult to accurately predict the character of underlying renal osteodystrophy. This review highlights current advances in methods available for PTH measurement and the clinical relevance of PTH fragments in CKD. We emphasize the usefulness of mass spectrometry as a potential reference method for PTH measurement.
Die Alpe, anime en Afrikaans: “Heidi” as transnasionale teks en kultuurproduk
Authors: Van Rensburg Elizabeth , Smit Mathilda
Published: April 2022

The name “Heidi” is known and loved all over the world, due to Swiss author, Johanna Spyri’s works, Heidis Lehr- und Wanderjahre (1880) and Heidi kann brauchen, was es gelernt hat (1881), which form part of the classic international children’s literature canon. These stories have since crossed national boarders, by manifesting transnationally in several culture products. The focus of this article lies on the transnational traffic between the original Heidi (1881) and its adaptations. Because “Heidi” as a cultural phenomenon contains universal themes, the product was able to spread globally. This journey stretches from the Swiss Alps, to Japan and finally finds a home in South Africa and Afrikaans. Included in the article is an overview of how the Heidi text manifested in several cultures and its transnational movement, spanning time and place. The popularity of the animation series in South Africa among Afrikaans speaking people is analysed, along with suggestions for possible reasons for this big following and prevalence . The central argument of the article is that “Heidi” as cultural product has had a transnational journey from the Alps, to anime and Afrikaans.

Se utilizó un reactor de plasma de antorcha para la obtención de fertilizantes termofosfatos (TPIZA y TPPC) sometiendo la roca fosfórica (PR) de la región centro oriente del departamento de Boyacá, Colombia, proveniente de los municipios de Iza y Sogamoso, a calcinación mediante plasma de antorcha. Se utilizó un equipo de antorcha de plasma de 7.6 kW (potencia nominal) con temperaturas de proceso > 10000 ° C, tamaño de partícula de 0.074 mm y tiempos de calcinación de 30 s - 40 s. Como resultado experimental se obtuvieron concentraciones máximas de fósforo total y fósforo asimilable correspondientes a 27.0% P2O5 y 3.07% P2O5 a partir de termofosfatos de Iza (TPTP - IZA) mientras que los resultados para los termofosfatos de Sogamoso (TPTP - PC) fueron 33.12% P2O5 y 4.83 % P2O5. Los análisis de fósforo total se realizaron por fluorescencia de rayos X (FRX) y para la determinación del fósforo asimilable se realizó primero la extracción con solución neutra de citrato de amonio y posteriormente la determinación cuantitativa por espectrofotometría UV - Vis. Mediante difracción de rayos X (DRX), se determinó que la fase cristalina predominante fue el carbonato de fluorapatita, que osciló entre 53.0% - 87.0% (TPTP - IZA) y 60.6% - 93.7% (TFTP - PC). Los costes energéticos de los fertilizantes obtenidos reportaron un consumo energético muy bajo, del orden de 0.64 kWh / Kg – 1.14 kWh / Kg, al utilizar intensidades eléctricas de 30 A y 45 A.
