Authors: Khadivi Reza , Nagi Mahshid , Haddadpoor Asefe
Published: November 2021

Objective: The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of anti-syphilis antibodies in Iranian pregnant women who attended antenatal care (ANC) in 21 districts affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (MUI) from April 2017 to April 2020.
Materials and methods: In a cross-sectional study in 2020, the data about anti syphilis antibody were collected from electronic health files of pregnant women. Pregnancy specific health package was delivered to Iranian pregnant women in a horizontally integrated network across the country. The electronic health file was used for every Iranian citizen and all health events were recorded by their health care providers in 2016. All health services, particularly laboratory tests that were performed either in public or private laboratories, that were given to pregnant women needed to be recorded in their electronic health files. According to the pregnancy health package, they were screened initially by Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test.
Results: In those years, 70512, 72298, 63272 pregnant women were screened respectively. In these intervals, using the RPR test, no positive cases of anti- syphilis antibody were found.
Conclusion: It seems that syphilis infection among Iranian pregnant women who attended ANC in districts affiliated to MUI has reached the elimination phase.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Physiological and psychological changes during pregnancy are the cause of many psychological disorders including depression. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between vitamin D levels and common complications of pregnancy with the incidence of postpartum depression in mothers.
Methods: The present study is a prospective cohort that was performed in two stages on 300 pregnant women who were in the third trimester of pregnancy. The sample selection method was done in several steps using demographic characteristics questionnaire, Sherborne and Stewart social support questionnaire and Edinburgh depression questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS software version 16 and descriptive statistics, independent t-test, paired t-test, one-way ANOVA and Chi-square. A p value of less than 0.5 was considered significant.
Results: The results of the study showed that gestational complications such as urinary tract infection (P = 0.139), diabetes (P = 0.587) and gestational hypertension (P = 0.080) were not significantly associated with postpartum depression. There is also no significant relationship between vitamin D levels during pregnancy in people with postpartum depression and non-patients. (P> 0/05). Also, low level of social support was associated with a 3.2-fold increase in the risk of postpartum depression (P = 0.001)
Conclusion: Postpartum depression is associated with devastating consequences for both mother and fetus. Therefore, pregnant women, especially those with risk factors and a history of postpartum depression, should be supported by various sources and at the head of the family.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common metabolic diseases that is associated with many complications. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease caused by a lack of insulin production due to high blood glucose levels. It is the third most severe and chronic childhood illness, affecting approximately 15 million children worldwide. Given the importance of controlling type 1 diabetes, especially in children, in this study we aimed to examine the status of diabetes control in children 3 to 18 with type 1 diabetes.
Methods: This study was a retrospective analytical cross-sectional study. The study population included 121 children aged 3-18 years with type 1 diabetes referred to Yazd Diabetes Center in 2018 to 2019. The information, including age, sex, BMI, patient maturity stage, duration of diabetes, mean A1C, daily insulin dose, number of blood glucose measurements per day and number of DKA attacks were extracted. The collected data were entered into SPSS version 16, using statistical tests were analyzed.
Results: The results showed that the mean age of participants was 12.92± 3.96 years and the mean of A1c in patients was 8.63 ± 1.94. The results of our study on diabetes control status in the studied patients showed that 38.8% of patients had partial diabetes control status, 32.2% had good diabetes control status and 28.9% had poor diabetes control status. In addition, according to the results of the study, there was no statistically significant difference was found  among the frequency distribution of diabetes control status in terms of variables of puberty stage (p = 0.228), BMI (p = 0.508), age (p = 0.275), daily dose of bisal / bolus insulin (p = 0.479), dose Daily NPH / regular insulin (p = 0.386), number of blood glucose checks (p = 0.090), number of hospitalizations due to DKA (p = 0.539), duration of diabetes (p = 0.093) and gender (p = 0.263). .
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, it can be concluded that none of the studied variables affect the control status of diabetes in children aged 3-18 years with type 1 diabetes.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Amyloid plaques in the brain increase with age. Thus, the present study aimed to evaluate the effect of continuous and interval training on Amyloid β 42 (Aβ42) and Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in hippocampus of elderly rats.
Methods: The present study was experimental one with two experimental groups and one control group. Thirty old male Wistar rats (18 weeks-old) divided into 3 groups, including interval training, continuous training, and control. Continuous training was performed for 8 weeks with 65 to 70% VO2max and interval training was performed for 8 weeks with 5-8 repetitions of 2 minutes of working with 80-100% VO2max and 2 minutes active rest with 50% of VO2max for 8 weeks. Hippocampal samples were extracted 48 hours after the last training session to measure protein levels of Aβ42 and MDA. One-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test was used for data analysis.
Results: Hippocampus Aβ42 levels in continuous training groups were significantly lower than the control group (P=0.001). In addition, Aβ42 levels in hippocampus of interval training groups were significantly lower than the control group (P=0.001). However, no significant differences were found in Aβ42 levels between continuous and interval training groups (p=0.502). MDA levels in continuous training groups were significantly lower than the control group (P=0.016). In addition, MDA levels in interval training groups were significantly lower than the control group (P=0.046) But no significant differences were found in hippocampal MDA protein levels between continuous and interval training groups (p=866).
Conclusion: Continuous and interval training through decreasing oxidative stress, decrease Aβ42 levels in the hippocampus of the elderly rat, thus probably continuous and interval training can prevent neurodegenerative disease caused by aging through modulating oxidative stress and Aβ42.
Poverty, Welfare and Assessing the Impact of Productive Zakat Distribution
Authors: Herlita Jumi , Khaliq Restu
Published: November 2021

Zakat is an essential Islamic economic tool to mobilize assets to alleviate poverty and create prosperity. This paper discusses the relationship between zakat, primarily productive zakat, poverty, and welfare from the Islamic perspective. With the potential for extraordinary zakat collection, it is expected that the distribution of zakat will have a tremendous impact on improving the welfare of the mustahik. It is imperative to measure the impact of zakat distribution on mustahik, especially when using appropriate analysis. CIBEST is an analytical tool capable of measuring these impacts from two viewpoints: material and spiritual perspectives. Zakat collection organizations and academics should utilize this analytical tool more to evaluate zakat distribution programs.
REKONSILIASI ISLAM DAN SAINS DALAM PERSPEKTIF NIDHAL GUESSOUM
Authors: Makiah Zulpa
Published: November 2021

This paper describes Nidhal Guessoum, who tried to reconcile the epistemic between the Islamic tradition and modern science. The method used is descriptive content analysis. Nidhal sees that efforts to build relations between religion and science are still simplistic. He seeks to uncover the deadlock between the science of religion and philosophy and to present the principles of reconciliation of Islam and science more completely and systematically. This reconciliation effort departs from his critique of the condition of education and Arab society as well as the Islamic world as a whole, as well as the developing thoughts on the relationship between religion and science, which are sometimes too simplistic, both Sardar's ijmāli model, i'jāz an-Najjar model, and Islamization of al-Faruqi's model of knowledge. In Nidhal's view, these methods contain weaknesses, so those other alternatives are needed. The steps taken by Nidhal are to build a foundation for the creation of a harmonious relationship between science, religion and philosophy. He proposed a quantum approach through (1) the principle of no conflict between religion and science, (2) layered interpretation of the Qur'an, (3) theistic falsification.Tulisan ini berupaya menjelaskan pemikiran Nidhal Guessoum yang berusaha melakukan rekonsiliasi epistemik antara tradisi Islam dan sains modern. Metode yang digunakan dalam membaca karya Nidhal adalah dengan menggunakan analisis isi (content analysis) secara deskriptif. Nidhal melihat upaya dalam membangun relasi antara agama dan sains masih bersifat simplistik. Nidhal berusaha menyingkap kebuntuan titik temu antara sains agama dan filsafat serta menghadirkan prinsip-prinsip rekonsiliasi Islam dan sains secara lebih lengkap dan sistematis. Upaya rekonsiliasi ini berangkat dari kritiknya terhadap kondisi pendidikan dan masyarakat Arab serta dunia Islam secara keseluruhan, juga terhadap pemikiran-pemikiran yang berkembang mengenai hubungan antara agama dan sains yang terkadang terlalu simplistik, baik model ijmāli Sardar, model i’jāz an-Najjar, maupun Islamisasi pengetahuan model al-Faruqi. Metode-metode itu dalam pandangan Nidhal mengandung kelemahan-kelemahan sehingga diperlukan alternatif lain. Langkah yang dilakukan Nidhal adalah membangun landasan terciptanya hubungan yang harmonis diantara sains, agama dan filsafat. Nidhal mengusulkan pendekatan kuantum melalui: (1) prinsip tidak ada pertentangan antara agama dan sains; (2) penafsiran berlapis terhadap al-Qur’an; (3) falsifikatif teistik.
Competência em informação como forma de pedagogia decolonial e intercultural: construindo significados
Authors: Righetto Guilherme Goulart , Karpinski Cezar , Vieira Vitorino Elizete
Published: November 2021

A competência em informação diz respeito, em síntese, à aprendizagem contínua, sendo uma forma de autoconsciência, socialização autoguiada ou de autodenominação. É uma ferramenta que pode levar ao empoderamento, à autoexpressão e ao diálogo intercultural dos cidadãos. No entanto, dependendo da natureza do terreno social, a competência em informação pode servir a propósitos distintos dos que se esperam em sua função social. Isso porque, ao considerar a informação como mecanismo de poder, podem-se constituir práticas opressivas ou libertadoras às minorias sociais, em especial às populações latino-americanas, considerando suas diversidades culturais, sociais e históricas. O objetivo geral do artigo, dito isto, é apresentar os pressupostos teóricos para a construção de uma competência em informação “subversiva” aos padrões hegemônicos colonizadores, respaldado pela pedagogia decolonial e pela interculturalidade, buscando, assim, responder a seguinte questão: quais pressupostos são necessários para a edificação de uma competência em informação “subversiva”? Metodologicamente, a pesquisa que resultou neste artigo é exploratória, qualitativa e bibliográfica, com cunho ensaístico. O principal resultado se pauta na ratificação do fazer a competência em informação como fazeres-outros, expandindo as formas de discutir, de ensinar e de assimilar as múltiplas formas possíveis dessa metacompetência. Conclui-se que é preciso assumir tal competência como metodologia(s) e ação(es) emergente(s) em contextos de marginalização, subalternização, luta, reexistência e resistência, contribuindo com práticas insurgentes de resistir, (re)existir e (re)viver, que possibilitam modos muito diversos de ser, existir, pensar, conhecer, sentir, ser e conviver – ou seja, como práxis fronteiriça que afronta a colonialidade do poder e as suas práticas pedagógicas
Interseccionalidade e encruzilhada: exuzilhamentos
Authors: Honorato Cayo , Honorato Suene
Published: November 2021

A partir de questões suscitadas pelas palestras de Maria Aparecida Moura e Bianca Santana no encontro Decolonialidade e Ciência da Informação: veredas dialógicas, o artigo faz uma comparação inicial entre três conceitos distintos, mas correlatos: interseccionalidade, encruzilhada e exuzilhada. Para isso, toma como referência principal textos de Patricia Hill Collins e Sirma Bilge, Leda Maria Martins e Cidinha da Silva, respectivamente. Nesse percurso, avalia o modo como cada conceito busca representar a complexidade e heterogeneidade de experiências marginalizadas ou rarefeitas. Considerando alguns dilemas do primeiro conceito, entende que os dois últimos podem nos sugerir um conceito não essencialista de representação. Em todo caso, o artigo marca o início de uma discussão, aberta a outros caminhos e transformações, sublinhando o diálogo como "processo vital móvel"

Published: November 2021

Wild food plants play an important role in the diet of inhabitants of Oyam District. Some of these plants are drought -resistant and gathered throughout the year . These wild foods are an important source of nutrients. However, there is a lack of comprehensive data re garding the nutrient content s of these indigenous plants. The purpose of this study was to document and assess the nutrient and mineral content s of the selected food plants. Ethnobotanical surveys were used to collect data through formal and informal inter views and focused group discussions. Voucher specimens were collected during field excursions and taken to Makerere Herbarium for proper identification . Nutrients and mineral analyses of wild and cultivated fruits, seeds, underground organs and vegetables from Ngai and Otwal sub counties were carried out using known procedures. They were analysed for mineral nutrients such as calcium, iron, potassium, and phosphorus concentrations. Additionally nutrients such proteins, beta carotene, vitamin C and dietary fibre were determined . On average, vegetables were found to be richer in organic nutrients and minerals followed by fruits and seeds in that order . Generally the wild food plant species were found to be richer sources of mineral nutrient than their cultivated relatives. F or example , the highest concentration of calcium 867.59 mg/100g was found in Acalypha bipartita leaves compared to 294.18 mg/100g in Cleome gynandra . Plant species that showed high iron contents [>30% ] were leaves of swamp hibiscus , African spider flowers , fruits of Tamarind , Black night shade and Jews mallow . It was also noted that among the food plant species analysed, fruits were low in nutrients and mineral elements. Some of these food plants were also considered to have medicinal properties by the locals such as African spider flower, Rattle pod among others. However, it should be noted that there is a general decline in the consumption of wild plants , despite the apparent high nutritional values . T he conservation of wild food plants is not taking place among the communities in the study area, thus the poor rural communities who are limited on balancing their diet could be faced with diseases associated with nutrient deficiencies .

Published: November 2021

Beekeeping is one of the income generating activities in many parts of the rural areas of Zambia and is being promoted by both the government and nongovernmental organizations. The main benefit of beekeeping is the production of honey and beeswax which are valuable sources of income for the small-holder farmers. Honey is a sweet liquid gathered by honey bees from nectar or other secretions of plants which they transform by addition of enzymes and evaporation of water. Beekeeping also plays an important role in protecting the natural environment and gives the communities other economic benefits from the forests as they have a vested interest in protecting trees that are a source for their honey. In the recent past, Zambian farmers involved in this beekeeping have adopted modern bee keeping approaches that involve the use of modern beehives such as the log, mud, standard wood and adjusted wood as opposed to the traditional bark type. In order to ascertain the effect of the beehive type on the quality, honey harvested from these beehives in Kapiri Mposhi area of Zambia was investigated for selected quality characteristics. The investigated parameters included ash, moisture, pH, total soluble solids and soluble sugars. Ash content of the honey is important because it represents its mineral content and forms part of proximate analysis for nutritional evaluation. The ash content ranged from 0.198 and 0.271%, pH 4.26 and 4.44, moisture 14.9 and 16.4%, total soluble solids 83.6 and 85.7% and soluble sugar 81.6 and 83.4%. The findings from the study demonstrated that the beehive type did not have a significant (P > 0.05) effect on all the selected quality characteristics investigated. Furthermore, comparisons of the findings on honey quality characteristics to the guidelines stipulated by the Codex Alimentarius and European Union (EU) standards showed conformity to these standards.

Published: November 2021

The typical cattle production system in Ghana is predominantly pasture-based. Cattle are grazed all year round on natural pastures with minimal feed supplementation. The animals kept in this production system often experience inadequate nutrition and fluctuating nutrient supply affecting their productivity. There is presently limited information on the growth and reproductive performance of the Friesian x Sanga crossbred cattle (Plate 1) and factors influencing these performance traits. The growth and reproductive performance records of 150 Friesian x Sanga crossbred cattle, kept at the Animal Research Institute station in the Accra Plains of Ghana from April 1993 to October 2009 were evaluated to determine the effect of parity of cow, season of calving and sex of calf on birth weight, weaning weight, growth rate, age at first calving and calving interval. The birth weight and weaning weights of the calves averaged 21.8 ± 0.5 kg and 94.2 ± 3.8 kg, respectively, and were not (P > 0.05) affected by sex of calf, parity of cow or season of calving. Parity of cow affected (P < 0.05) weight of calf at 12 months. Calf weight at 12 and 18 months averaged 128.0 ± 3.4 kg and 159.9 ± 4.5 kg, respectively. Pre-weaning and post-weaning average daily gains were 0.33 ± 0.02 kg/day and 0.23 ± 0.03 kg/day, respectively, and were not significantly (P > 0.05) affected by sex of calf, parity of cow or season of calving. The mean age at first calving was 41.2 ± 1.2 months. Calving interval was prolonged averaging 441.6 ± 10.3 days and was significantly (P < 0.05) affected by parity of cow. Calving interval decreased with increasing parity of cow. The age at first calving and calving interval were not (P > 0.05) affected by either sex of calf or season of calving. The growth and reproductive performance of the Friesian x Sanga crossbred cattle was less than optimum. Improving their nutrition could impact, positively, on their productivity through fast growth, increased milk yield and early resumption of ovarian cycles after calving. Thus, results from this study should guide the development of appropriate strategies for increased meat and milk production in Friesian x Sanga crossbred cattle.

Published: November 2021

Consumption of leafy vegetables provides health benefits but sometimes may turn out to be the cause of certain health problems. Thus, adequate toxicological screening is needed to ensure safety of their consumption. Aqueous extracts of Corchorus olitorius L., Celosia argentea L., and Ocimum gratissimum L. were evaluated for cytogenotoxic effects on Allium cepa L. root cells using 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10.0, 25.0 and 50.0 part per thousand (ppt), each of the vegetable extracts. The levels of macronutrients (moisture, ash, protein, fibre, fat and carbohydrate) in the vegetables and some minerals (cadmium, copper, iron, lead, magnesium, nickel and zinc) of their aqueous extracts were determined. The carbohydrate values were in the order O. gratissimum > C. olitorius > C. argentea with 48.17% as the highest. The values obtained for ash, protein, fat, Mg and Zn contents were in the order C. argentea > C. olitorius > O. gratissimum , with the highest values of 19.98%, 30.79%,, 0.22% ,226.4 mg/L and 2.57mg/L, respectively obtained for C. argentea. The concentration of Cu and Pb were in the order of O.gratissium> C. argentea> C. olitorius with 0.67 and 0.21mg/L obtained for O.gratissium (P<0.05). The aqueous extracts of the three vegetables inhibited root growth and cell division in the A. cepa root tips, with the highest inhibitory effects observed in C. argentea at 50.0 ppt. Induced chromosomal aberrations were significant only at 1.0 and 25 ppt of O. gratissimum, whereas there were no significant differences in aberrant cells in C. olitorius and C. argentea compared to the control. Chromosomal aberrations observed in the treated A. cepa roots include c-mitosis, Chromosome bridge and sticky chromosome. The results showed that the three vegetables have nutritive qualities but with root growth and mitotic inhibitory activities, which were severe in C. argentea. Although the result indicates that chromosomal aberrations might be induced at higher concentrations, the antimitotic potential of the extract of C. argentea may favour its uses in the development of drugs to prevent the uncontrolled proliferation of cancer cells of which investigation is required.

La métrica de las emociones a partir de dispositivos de Neuromarketing valida las respuestas de comportamiento del consumidor desde el cerebro ante los estímulos sensoriales, en este caso, el empaque a través de la vista, y el sabor mediante el gusto de las bebidas energéticas naturales, como método analítico de la neurociencia para la aprobación de nuevos productos en el mercado. Esta investigación exploratorio-experimental tiene como objetivo medir las emociones generadas en los jóvenes hacia emprendimientos de bebidas de Guayusa mediante aplicaciones de Neuromarketing para validar las respuestas del consumidor con su decisión de compra. Los participantes con edades entre 18 a 45 años, consumidores habituales de energizantes, degustaron ocho marcas de bebidas sin conocerlas, luego fueron expuestos a sus empaques. Mediante los datos de Diferencia Asimétrica Prefrontal obtenidos desde un electroencefalograma, fue posible corroborar la respuesta de bebida de mayor aceptación. La validación de aceptación a un nuevo emprendimiento desde la fisiología del cuerpo humano, implica un proceso moderno en la gestión para la comercialización de un nuevo producto, pues considera características específicas que determinan el comportamiento del consumidor. Los resultados prueban que las emociones juegan un rol importante, evidenciando que aún con ausencia en la percepción de orgullo en el tipo de bebida energizante tradicional o natural fue posible validar la marca con mayor aceptación entre los participantes.

Published: November 2021

La gestion durable des forêts reste un problème majeur que doit faire face la communauté internationale et locale dans la lutte contre la déforestation et la dégradation des forêts. Ces forêts connaissent de nos jours une dégradation très accentuée principalement causée par les pratiques agricoles. Cette étude a pour objectif d’évaluer la richesse floristique et d’estimer le stock de carbone aérien afin de contribuer à une meilleure connaissance des ressources naturelles de cette forêt du Mayombe en général et celle du village Kissila en particulier. Cinq parcelles de 50 m de côté chacune ont été installées avec une superficie totale de 12.500 m² soit 1,25 ha. Tous les arbres de Diamètre à Hauteur de la Poitrine (DHP) ≥10 cm ont été inventoriés à 1,30 m du sol dans chaque parcelle. La richesse spécifique, le spectre écologique, les indices de diversité floristique, ainsi que les paramètres structuraux ont été étudiés. La biomasse aérienne a été calculée à partir de l’équation allométrique de Djomo et l’estimation du carbone par la biomasse aérienne x 0,47. L’inventaire floristique a permis d’identifier 309 arbres répartis en 79 espèces, 63 genres et 32 familles. La famille des Annonaceae (11,39 %°) est la plus représentée qualitativement et celle des Olacaceae quantitativement (11,65%). Les indices de diversité de Shannon tendent vers 5, la densité à l’hectare et la surface terrière moyenne sont de 247 arbres et 10,71 m²/ha. La biomasse aérienne moyenne calculée est de 311,76tC/ha et le stock de carbone aérien moyen est de 89,5 tC/ha. Cette étude montre que la forêt de cette zone peut être classée comme une forêt secondaire fortement perturbée.

Волонтёрская деятельность во многом связана с выражением ценностей индивидов, участвующих в ней. Изучение ценностей волонтёров, может помочь понять отличия между волонтёрами разных направлений и дать информацию о том, что может влиять на выбор специфики добровольческой деятельности. Исследований, в которых описывались и изучались бы ценности волонтёров с точки зрения социологии, единицы. В большей части исследований ценности рассматриваются только как один из мотивационных факторов. Также отметим отсутствие исследований, посвящённых описанию ценностей среди волонтёров, работающих в условиях ЧС. Наше исследование, с использованием методики базовых ценностей Ш. Шварца, позволило установить, насколько различаются ценности волонтёров, участвовавших и не участвовавших в чрезвычайных ситуациях. Ключевым отличием между группами оказалась большая ценность безопасности среди волонтёров, не участвовавших в ЧС.

В статье оценивается уровень доверия волонтёров, имеющих опыт реагирования на чрезвычайные ситуации (ЧС). Основными материалами для анализа стали массовый онлайн-опрос опрос волонтёров (2021 г.), а также анализ данных интервью, проведённых коллективом авторов ИНАБ (2020–2021 г.). Показано, что во многом доверие добровольцев к различным структурам и организациям связано с личным опытом взаимодействия. Наиболее высоко оценивается эффективность взаимодействия с МЧС и другими штатными службами, а также волонтёрскими группами и местным населением. Вместе с тем волонтёры, имеющие опыт реагирования на ЧС, отмечают, что пострадавшие чаще всего благодарят за оказанную помощь, либо не понимают, кто такие волонтёры, а их окружение и общество в целом хорошо относятся к их добровольческой деятельности.

Aim: To compare the pre-clinical and clinical students` perceptions about the non-pharmacological behaviour management techniques in paediatric dentistry and to investigate the influence of the dental curriculum on the students` knowledge regarding this issue. Methods: A total of 283 students from the IV-and X-semester completed a questionnaire, consisted of 12 statements, describing the nonpharmacological behaviour management techniques for the treatment of paediatric dental patients. The acceptability rate was evaluated with a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5. Results: The students from all courses demonstrated high acceptance for Reinforcement and Desensitization techniques and low for the Negative reinforcement and Physical restraint. The comparison between the perceptions of the pre-clinical and clinical students demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the acceptance of the physical restraint, along with Nonverbal communication, Modelling and Parental presence/absence (p<0.05). Conclusion: The results provide information about the students’ knowledge and skills in behaviour management techniques together with some insights about how the educational process can modify the students` perceptions and views in dealing with paediatric dental patients.

Aim: To describe cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) features in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs), in terms of degenerative changes, condylar excursions and positioning as well as their possible correlations with signs and symptoms. Methods: Clinical records of patients diagnosed with TMD who were seen between January 2018 and December 2019 were retrospectively evaluated. These patients were divided into the following groups based on the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD): arthralgia, myalgia, and arthralgia and myalgia groups. The CBCT examination findings of the patients were evaluated in relation to degenerative changes, estimates of condylar excursion, and condylar positioning. The likelihood ratio test was used to verify the possible differences among the three groups, whereas the chi-square test was used to verify the possible differences among the signs and symptoms for the tomographic findings (p ≤ 0.050). Results: In this study, 65 patients with TMD were included. These patients were predominantly female (84.6%) with a mean age of 40.6 years. Tomographic findings of flattening, hyperexcursion and posterior condylar positioning were frequent. A significant correlation was noted between osteophyte and lateral capsule pain (p = 0.027), erosion and posterior capsule pain (p = 0.026), and flattening, pseudocysts (p < 0.050) and condylar excursion (p < 0.001) with mouth opening. Conclusion: Few correlations were noted between degenerative changes and signs of joint pain as well as degenerative changes and condylar hypoexcursion with mouth opening. These correlations were likely associated with division by diagnosis, whereas condylar positioning did not correlate with signs and symptoms.
Todo professor é um educador

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar o processo de mitificação do trabalho docente no discurso pedagógico materializado em sequências discursivas coletadas da seção “Caro Educador” da Revista Nova Escola. Para este fim, fundamentamos nossa investigação em uma interface entre a análise do discurso pecheutiana e a teoria barthesiana do mito. A hipótese deste artigo é que o discurso pedagógico inscrito em Nova Escola retoma uma memória em que o pedagógico e o religioso se compõem interdiscursivamente em torno do enunciado de referência: todo professor é/deve ser um educador. Este enunciado consolida uma relação interdiscursiva entre os discursos pedagógico e religioso e fornece evidências para uma concepção de docência como trabalho missionário ou chamado divino. Os resultados analíticos mostram que, de diferentes formas, a docência é significada pela ausência de seu sentido mercadológico. Marcada por uma aura de nobreza e espiritualidade, a atividade docente é fortemente carregada de um significado sacerdotal.

Este artigo tem como objetivo observar os efeitos de sentidos criados com a emergência de memoriais virtuais que ressignificam o acontecimento da pandemia de Covid-19 no Brasil. Assim, tais memoriais, a nosso ver, constituem como acontecimentos discursivos capazes de restaurar e ressignificar novas memórias sobre o morrer, (re)contando-as por meio da arte e da resistência, além de desregular os implícitos e já ditos cristalizados por práticas sociais numa memória social. Para esta nossa reflexão, selecionamos algumas publicações do perfil @Museudoisolamento da rede social Instagram e na página eletrônica com o mesmo nome a fim de analisar a oposição vida versus morte e os efeitos de sentido gerados quando tais discursos se (re)produzem em meio digital.
How can i give this pain to someone else?

Published: November 2021

No início era a dor. Com este sintagma propomos revisar a dor no luto, da sua versão freudiana à aposta de Lacan, para passar do fenômeno ao problema estrutural. Nos interessa particularmente indicar algumas coordenadas psicanalíticas para pensar a dor, uma vez que se apresenta como afeto intransmissível, incomunicável e próprio, e seu paradoxo: é possível de interpretar-se e provocar empatia. Com uma breve análise de duas partes do filme, Land (2021) e Pieces of a woman (2020), introduziremos o problema da alteridade e do Outro, para sublinhar e ao mesmo tempo questionar o seguinte argumento: certas ambiguidades do luto freudiano o apresentaria como solidário ao discurso neoliberal. Uma leitura estrutural da dor se apresenta como chave para convocar os falantes, onde os laços parecem desvanecer-se.

Na Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), o trabalho do Agente Comunitário de Saúde (ACS) é ponto inicial de ancoragem das ações em saúde voltadas à comunidade. Objetivo: compreender o entendimento dos ACS em relação à abordagem da temática das drogas no território em que atuam. Métodos: Estudo qualitativo, realizado com 6 ACS de uma Equipe de Unidade de ESF. Definiu-se a amostra por exaustão. Foram realizadas entrevistas, posteriormente transcritas e organizadas conforme o Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo. Resultados: Foram evidenciados entraves e equívocos no processo de trabalho dos ACS no manejo das demandas relacionadas ao uso de álcool e drogas. Conclusão: A percepção dos ACS sobre a temática do uso de drogas no cotidiano do serviço de saúde é cautelosa e restrita. Mesmo diante da identificação disto como um problema do território, suas intervenções ocorrem mediante manifestação voluntária do usuário, quando este busca o serviço de saúde.

Estudo descritivo, correlacional, tipo transversal, que avaliou ansiedade e depressão entre profissionais de enfermagem de uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento (UPA). Os dados foram coletados mediante um questionário sociodemográfico e a Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão (HADS). Participaram doze técnicos, onze auxiliares de enfermagem e sete enfermeiros, sendo a maioria do gênero feminino (80,0%), casados (40,0%) e com faixa etária predominante de 41 a 50 anos (36,7%). Os respondentes apresentaram grau de ansiedade normal (66,7%) e grau de depressão normal (86,7%). As subescalas de ansiedade (α = 0,71) e depressão (α = 0,67) apresentaram adequada consistência interna. A análise de associação entre os escores totais referentes à avaliação de ansiedade e depressão indicou uma correlação estatisticamente significativa (p = 0,01), positiva e forte (ρ = 0,741). A HADS mostrou boa sensibilidade para avaliar sintomas de ansiedade e depressão, porém não evidenciou escores elevados no período da pandemia da covid-19 nos respondentes.

ABSTRACTFrontline workers have been fighting hard since the novel coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, was declared a global pandemic by the WHO on March 12th, 2020.  This study assessed the level of knowledge of frontline workers, attitudes of frontline workers, and how well the frontline workers of the area adapted to the ongoing epidemic. This study used a cross-sectional research design conducted among 440 frontline workers Palwal district in Haryana. Information regarding knowledge, attitude, practice, and socio-demographic characteristics was obtained using semi-coded and pretested questionnaire. Data were analysed using SPSS version 20. Independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s rank correlation test, and multivariate linear regression were used. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. The mean of knowledge, attitude, and practice scores were 79.67 (SD = 1.81), 27.4 (SD = 0.98), and 22.47 (SD = 1.4), respectively. 94.8% of frontline workers had excellent knowledge, 68.6% had excellent attitude, and 57.7% had reasonable practice with significant positive correlation between the three. Knowledge score varied significantly with occupation (p = 0.003). Regression analysis showed that attitude score varied significantly with age, gender, and occupation (p<0.05). Practice score varied significantly with age (p<0.05). The majority of the HCWs had had excellent knowledge and attitude, but moderate practice towards COVID-19 with a significant positive correlation between them. Knowledge appeared to be significantly associated with profession; attitude with age, gender, occupation, source of information; and practice with age alone. Healthcare workers (HCWs) were using less authentic sources for information, which is an important aspect that needs immediate correction as ultimately it affects knowledge and can be reflected in attitude and practice. Keywords: COVID-19, knowledge, attitude, practice, frontline workers

ABSTRACTFollowing the Child-Friendly School (CFS) Guidelines made by the Deputy for Child Development, Ministry of Women Empowerment and Child Protection (2015), one of the components that must be fulfilled is a commitment to make schools a Smoke-Free Area (SFA). Kulon Progo has District Regulation No. 5 of 2014 concerning SFA, thus it can be used as a commitment by a school guide, making it an SFA. The results of interviews with the District Social Service for Women's Empowerment and Child Protection Office stated that CFS currently remains at the initiation stage. Efforts should be made to create comfortable learning conditions for children with the support of the SFA District Regulation in the formation of CFS in Kulon Progo Regency. Analysis of the implementation monitoring checklist/compliance with District Regulation No. 5/2014 concerning SFA in 2020 which is carried out by the SFA supervision task force. Descriptive analysis method by looking at trends based on the proportion of the 10 variables used. The results of the data study show that 89.5% have been exposed to the socialization of District Regulations, 52.6% have a supervisory task force, 86.8% have installed SFA signs at the Entrance, 100% have a smoking ban warning installed, 23.7% has a place specifically for smoking, 10.5% found an ashtray in the building, 7.9% found cigarette butts, 2.6% found cigarette advertisements, 5.3% found cigarette sellers, 7.9% smoked people. From the data analysis, it is known that 81.58% have complied with SFA. However, this compliance is not optimal. This is indicated by the high percentage of availability of designated smoking areas in schools and ashtrays, cigarette butts, cigarette advertisements, cigarette sellers, and smoking people found. Schools should have a zero percentage in these variables; thus, they are not fully committed as a condition for the formation of CFS. It is necessary to optimize the application of District Regulations to create a smoke-free school environment as evidenced by not providing smoking places in schools, not allowing cigarette advertisements, smoking outside, and imposing sanctions for non-smoking violators in the school environment.
