Authors: Castelfranchi Yurij , Maria Mendes Ione , Fagundes Vanessa , Massarani Luisa , Castro Moreira Ildeu , Polino Carmelo
Published: September 2024

In this article, we analyze the perception of Brazilians about climate change, in particular the factors that influence their view on the topic. To this end, a statistical analysis of data from a national survey was carried out, implemented through home interviews, with a representative sample of the Brazilian population. The data shows that most Brazilians believe that climate change is happening (91%) and, among these, that it is mainly caused by human action (86%) and that it could harm the next generations (average 9.11 on a scale of 0 to 10). It is also clear that the denial of climate change is influenced not only by sociodemographic factors, but also by dimensions associated with values, such as the perception of gender parity and State interference in the market.

Road damage indicates a condition where the structural and functional roads are no longer able to provide optimal service to traffic crossing the road. Traffic conditions and the types of vehicles that will cross a road greatly affect the design of construction planning and road pavement made. Asphalt or concrete pavement has frequent damage due to water entering the pavement so that it becomes damaged, this can be seen on Munif Rahman Street, Palu City, Central Sulawesi Province at Sta 0+000 – 2+200. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between vehicle speeds caused by various road damage conditions such as potholes, edge cracks, grain release, crests on Road Munif Rahman, Palu City, especially Sta. 0+000 – 2+200. The method used to determine the speed of the vehicle is the Spot Speed, and the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method to determine the condition of the road pavement. From the results and discussion, some conclusions that can be drawn are the regression equation obtained is y = -0.0029x2 + 0.4101x + 10.841. R2 (R Square) obtained is R² = 0.3789. This means that the relationship between road damage and vehicle speed is 38% (poor), showing the relationship between the level of road damage and vehicle speed, that the lower the PCI value, the slower the vehicle speed as in Sta 1+900 to 2+000 with a PCI value of 13. (very poor) then obtained a vehicle speed of 14.611 km/hour. The results are inversely proportional to the influence of several factors in the research conditions, namely Sta. 1+300 to 1+400 with a PCI value of 33 (medium) then the vehicle speed is 26,800 km/hour, indicating that the lower the PCI value, the faster the vehicle speed, this is influenced by the driver, obstacles, and vehicle disturbances along the way.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Dermatoglyphics is the science that deals with the study of dermal ridge patterns on the digits, palms and soles as a whole. The present study is based on fingerprints related with the dermatoglyphic patterns of digits of hands. Apart from individual identification in institutions, it is also useful in forensic investigations to identify the criminals or dead bodies in accidental cases. This study aimed to find out the fingerprint patterns in right and left hands of undergraduate medical students. Methods: The study was performed in 200 students (97 males and 103 females) from first and second years of MBBS and B.Sc. nursing streams. The fingerprints were collected individually by pressing each of the finger tips on the stamp pad and then pressing it on A4 sized plain paper until the best finger print was observed. Results: Out of 2000 fingerprints, 1218(60.9%) were loops, 581 (29.05%) were whorls, 134(6.7%) were arches, and 67(3.35%) were composites. In males, there were 620 loops, 226 whorls, 98 arches and 26 composites whereas 602 loops, 351 whorls, 36 arches and 41 composites were found in females. Conclusion:The loop patterns were more common than other fingerprint patterns. Comparatively arches and loops were more common in males and whorls and composites in female.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Preoperative prediction of the factors leading to difficulty or conversion in cholecystectomy could help plan the surgical strategies and possible outcomes beforehand. The present study aimed to predict and analyze risk factors using a scoring system deemed responsible for surgical difficulties in patients undergoing cholecystectomy for symptomatic cholelithiasis. Methods: This hospital based prospective study was conducted at Department of Surgery, Lumbini Medical College and Teaching Hospital, Nepal. Various factors considered preoperatively were gender, age, previous history of hospitalization, impacted stone, obesity, gall bladder wall thickness, pericholecystic collection, previous abdominal scar and palpable gall bladder. Results: Among 177 cases operated, the mean age Â±SD of the patients was 47.72Â±17.54 years. Conversion rate was 7.9 %. At preoperative score of 5; sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 89.40% (CI: 83.36%-93.82%), 69.23% (CI: 48.21 %-85.67%), 94.41%(CI: 90.44%-96.79%) and 52.94% (CI: 39.85%-65.64%) respectively{Area under curveâ€“ 0.74, p=0.0001, CI (0.637-0.846)}. Multivariate analysis showed abdominal scar {p=0.02, OR (CI): 5.2 (1.2-21.8)}, previous hospitalization {p=0.001, OR(CI): 6.8(2.2-20.8)} and thickened gall bladder wall {p= 0.03, OR(CI): 3.6(1.1-11.5)} to be statistically significant risk factors. Conclusion: With possible prediction beforehand, high risk group of patients can be identified and dealt accordingly to generate good surgical outcome avoiding complications.

Published: September 2024

Introduction: Maternal age is an important determinant of pregnancy outcome. Women aged 35 years ormore at their first pregnancy are considered high risk as they are associated with increased adverse maternaland perinatal outcomes. Methods: A retrospective, comparative study was carried out over a period of two years in a tertiary center. Each elderly primigravida was matched with two primigravidwomen aged 20-34 years who delivered during the same period. Secondary data on obstetric outcomes (diabetes, oligohydramnios, polyhydramnios, hypothyroidism), postpartum complications (post-partum hemorrhage, postpartum eclampsia) and perinatal outcome (intra-uterine growth restriction, prematurity, congenital anomalies, and neonatal death)of 82 elderly primigravidae (study group) was compared to 164 younger primigravida (control group) delivered during the period of study. The Chi Square test and Fisherâ€™s Exact test were used for statistical analysis and p value of <0.05 was taken as level of significance. Results: During the study period, there were 15,012 deliveries and 82 of these were elderly primigravidae giving an incidence of 0.55%. The mean age of the elderly primigravidae was 36.8Â±2.16 years. The study group had more antepartum complications with preterm labor, diabetes in pregnancy, hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, multiple pregnancy and polyhydramnios (p<0.05). Seventy-one elderly primigravidae were delivered by caesarean section, the commonest indication being maternal request. The study group had higher incidence of post-partum hemorrhage but no perinatal mortality of significant proportion. Conclusion: Maternal age at the first pregnancy influences pregnancy and neonatal outcomes. Hence, elderly primigravidae should be considered as high risk and followed up accordingly.

Authors: Bom Rabin
Published: September 2024

Two months have already passed since the declaration of countrywide lockdown on last week of March 2020. The number of corona virus disease (COVID-19) infected cases are gradually increasing in Nepal till date. With a steady increase of COVID-19 cases the burden of planning and preparedness is also getting bigger. Outpatientdepartments (OPDs) were closed for the first few weeks and all patients visiting the hospital were screened at fever clinic established at the hospital entry point. Suspected COVID-19 cases were then quarantined at special COVID-19 isolation ward using a different route. Those patients whose history excluded the suspicion of COVID-19 were then allowed to proceed to Emergency Department (ED).

Published: September 2024

We are undergoing crisis for humanity with corona virus disease (COVID-19) causing extensive damage to life and its aspects. Moreover we do not know how this will unfold in near future. All the academic classes are suspended during nationwide lockdown to alleviate the propagation. It is high time to rethink ways to deliver quality medical education under restriction of social isolation and absenteeism in real time teachings and discussions. We propose, based upon our experiences, replacement of didactic gross anatomy dissection with handmade dissection videos and its implications. It has its own challenges which could be overcome with planned directives based upon current experience.
What is the magnitude of the problem?In this gloomy environment of forced absenteeism, reluctance in study plans and procrastination requirescounseling for emphasizing the importance of tight declining schedule and benefits of timely curriculumfor covering huge syllabus. Traditional methods of face-to-face educational didactics, lectures and chalk talks has been compromised like no other time in past. Use of education technology at a mass scale for economically deprived countries, limited availability of techno friendly medical educators and adaptation of student to newer teaching techniques was already restrained in pre-pandemic time. Also, the alignment of new teaching format with amount of content and duration of topic coverage, necessary and safe enough to train for effective practice of problem-based learning warrants reorganizing available resources. From studentâ€™s perspective,accommodation and fooding concerns in lockdown, poor internet access with intermittent disconnection,lack of high-end laptops and absenteeism are major concerns, which precluded us from live streaming ofgross anatomy dissection. Also, it is to be ensured that changes in teaching style have positive impacton amount and depth of concerned knowledge.
Principles, Utility and Limitations of Pulse Oximetry in Management of COVID-19
Authors: Joshi Lok Raj
Published: September 2024

Pulse oximetry is an essential component of the standard care of COVID-19 patients. In the context of the spreading COVID-19 pandemic for which no targeted therapy or vaccines are yet available, early identification of the severe cases or cases with high risk of severe disease and appropriate supportive treatment are of paramount importance to save lives. Pulse oximetry is a cheap, fast, easy to use, noninvasive, painless and accurate tool that allows real-time monitoring of hypoxemia. As the primary target of the disease is the respiratory system pulse oximetry provides an unparalleled way to assess the severity of the disease, guide supportive therapies and monitor the clinical status and response to treatment with greater benefits in the low-resource settings. All settings from the quarantine facilities at the ground level to the ICUs in the highest level hospitals can utilize it to achieve their goals. To get the best of this tool, it needs to be used properly and the findings interpreted carefully. Role of basic understanding of the physiological principles and technology behind its use and awareness of its limitations cannot be overemphasized. The pulse oximetry readings are interpreted in the context of blood hemoglobin concentration, tissue perfusion, arterial blood carbon dioxide concentration and oxygen supplementation status.

The current outbreak of corona virus disease (COVID-19), declared as public health emergency of national and international concern by World Health Organization (WHO), led to unprecedented public health responses in Nepal and many countries around the world including travel restriction, closure of educational institutions, curfews in some places and quarantines. This pandemic has affected lives of millions in different ways in different geographic locations worldwide. Beyond the immediate threat to health, unemployment, insecurity, etc., education is one of the sensitive areas which has been affected tremendously, students in Nepal not being an exception.
The closure of all educational institutions effective from 18th March, 2020 followed by the nationwide lockdown from 24th March, 2020 till date enforced by Government of Nepal (GoN) as an effort to limit the spread of COVID-19 has shed a light on numerous issues affecting the access to education. As per the United NationsEducational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) report 2020, a total of 1,190,287,189learners are currently affected constituting 68% of the total enrolled learners worldwide because of temporary or indefinite country wide school closures implemented by the respective governments in an attempt to slow the spread of COVID-19. In Nepal alone 8,796,624 students have reportedly been affected.

The world has been chained with Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic today. It has affected more than 200 countries in just about a few months since December 2019. The virus has engulfed the world at a momentum never seen before. Considering the chances of disease being spread through asymptomatic transmission, social distancing has become a norm. This has brought a huge shift in how we live, work or interact with each other. It is feared that after the pandemic is over, the world would suffer a period of economic loss, as huge as the greatest depression of the 1930s or even more. With the world making medievalinventions and science doing wonders, we seem helpless to fight this pandemic. It has also drawn usto a realization that pandemic response cannot be extemporaneous.

Published: September 2024

In frequently ill children with recurrent respiratory diseases (RRD), violations of local immunity and microbiocenosis of the mucous membranes can contribute to the development of acute and chronic bronchopulmonary diseases. Vaccination against major pathogens, including S. pneumoniae, can help prevent respiratory infections in children.Objective: to study the microbiocenosis and local immunological factors of the nasopharyngeal mucosa in children with RRD, the serotype composition of S. pneumoniae in children with community-acquired pneumococcal pneumonia (CAP) and pneumococcal carriers, as well as the correspondence of the serotype landscape to the composition of modern pneumococcal vaccines.Materials and methods: The study included 150 patients (104 children with RRD and 46 patients with CAP). To assess the condition of the nasopharyngeal mucosa cultural methods, morphofunctional, immunological and capsule PCR typing of S. pneumoniae isolates were performed. Statistical analysis was performed using the Statistica 10.0 package.Results: The age structure was dominated by children aged 3 to 6 years (36%). The majority of patients with RRD had pronounced nasopharyngeal mucosal dysbiosis (n=60), as well as destruction of epithelial cells (n=97). These factors may predispose to the development of bronchopulmonary diseases, including community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Capsule PCR typing of S. pneumoniae isolates from the nasopharynx was performed in 46 patients. It has been established that in the structure of nasopharyngeal carrier S. pneumoniae in children with CAP, serotypes “3” and 19F prevailed, which were also the main pathogens in pneumococcal CAP. In nasopharyngeal pneumococcal carrier, the thirteen–valent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) overlapped 39.6% (95%CI 27.6–53.1%) of serotypes, in pneumococcal VP – 57.2% (95% CI 36.5-75.5%), while PCV20 overlapped 22.6% more S. pneumoniae serotypes in children with CAP.Conclusion: The strategy for the prevention of acute respiratory infections in children is immunization against pneumococcal infection, which should be carried out taking into account the regional prevalence of S. pneumoniae serotypes.

Published: September 2024

The article presents the results of an epidemiological study of the incidence of rabies in the population of the Republic of Cameroon in the period from 2014 to 2022. The system of epidemiological surveillance and monitoring of rabies in Cameroon is presented. According to WHO, human and animal rabies is recognized as endemic to Central Africa as a whole, and in Cameroon, in particular, this infectious goiter is classified as the first priority zoonosis within the framework of the National Program for the Prevention and Control of Recurrent and Re-emerging Zoonosis (PNPLZER). The average annual incidence of rabies recorded between 2014 and 2022 was 405.7% (95% CI: 401.9% – 409.5%). Based on the results of a retrospective epidemiological analysis, the dynamics of rabies cases among people in Cameroon is presented in accordance with data recorded at the Operational Center for Public Health Emergencies (CCOUSP). The highest rates were recorded in the period from 2018 (547.4%) to 2019 (276.8%), and the lowest in 2021 (10.7%) to 2022 (3.1%). To identify socio-demographic risk factors, a survey of rabies foci was conducted using specially designed questionnaires (epidemiological information collection cards). Mapping of registered cases of rabies in humans was carried out for 10 administrative regions of the country using the LTR QGIS (quantum GIS) program, which allowed us to show the distribution of cases across the country and dynamics over time. It has been established that the distribution of cases of the disease across the territory does not always depend on the population density in administrative districts, but is associated with specific socio-demographic risk factors such as profession, gender, age, type of animal reservoir of the virus, which affect the activity of the pathogen circulation among natural hosts.

Published: September 2024

Botulism is an acute infectious disease caused by a neutrotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and characterized by severe bulbar lesions. Botulism is characterized by the complexity of diagnosis and in adverse cases can lead to death. At the moment, in the complex therapy of botulism, the introduction of a mixture of antitoxic serums is mandatory. In addition to specific treatment, pathogenetic therapy is performed for all patients. Specific prophylaxis is carried out with polyanatoxin to a narrow group of people in contact with Clostridium botulinum or their toxins. However, neutralizing anti-botulinum antibodies may be detected in the blood serum of a number of individuals, which have a protective effect when encountering an infection. This article presents a clinical case of severe botulism in an adult patient with simultaneous absence of symptoms of the disease in family members.Botulinum toxin preparations have long been used in aesthetic medicine. It is worth noting that the botulinum toxin molecule has a high molecular weight and can cause an immune response with repeated injections, especially in areas rich in lymph nodes. Forming specific antibodies belong to the IgG class and may have neutralizing properties. In the above clinical case, the patient’s wife, during repeated injections of botulinum toxin, most likely, the formation of neutralizing antibodies occurred, which, in turn, protected the woman from the disease.

The presented review searched for articles in the databases PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar, eLibrary (2002-2022) and assessed the immunogenicity of the 23-valent polysaccharide pneumococcal vaccine (PPV23) in adult patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), receiving various antirheumatic drugs. The results of this review indicated sufficient immunogenicity of PPV23 in RA patients receiving monotherapy with various biological drugs (bDMARDs) (TNFα inhibitors, IL6 receptor inhibitors, T-lymphocyte costimulation blockers), targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (tsDMARDs), and glucocorticoids (GC) in medium and low doses. Monotherapy with methotrexate (MTX), rituximab and combination therapy with bDMARDs +MTX, tsDMARDs+MTX in RA patients reduced the postvaccination pneumococcal response. IgG AT generated in response to PPV23 injection shown functional activity even in RA patients whose antibodies were either lowered in patients receiving MTX or were not detectable at protective values following bDMARD therapy. The potential for pneumococcus antibody production in RA patients receiving therapy with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), tsDMARDs and bDMARDs, was concluded. Vaccination against pneumococcal infection should be advised prior to starting therapy due to the likelihood of low antibody levels developing during rituximab treatment.

Published: September 2024

Biocompatible titanium alloys possess a balanced set of improved mechanical properties and good biocompatibility, making them crucial materials in biomedical engineering. There is an increasing demand for these new alloys with superior properties. Furthermore, there is a need to understand the relationship between parameters and properties, and machine learning is being applied to make the whole process cheaper and more efficient. The aim of this study is to develop accurate machine learning models for predicting mechanical properties: modulus of elasticity, tensile strength, and yield strength, specifically using the Extra Trees Regressor model. Compared to the previous results, an improvement of the elastic modulus prediction model was observed after the inclusion of data on heat treatment parameters and Poisson?s ratio, as seen in the reduced MAE from 7.402 to 7.160 GPa. Models were built to predict the values of tensile strength and yield strength, where iron and tin were shown as most important features respectively, while the correlation coefficients for the test set were 0.893 and 0.868.

Published: September 2024

Children with autism are more likely to suffer from mental health disorders compared to their typically developing peers. Autism is the most diagnosed among the autism spectrum disorders and related disorders. Thus, many educators now are faced with the demands to teach children with autism in their classes. It is imperative that teachers be able to recognize the symptom presentations of children with autism and be aware of a comprehensive and systematic method of identifying them in their classrooms. The aim of this study was to bring out a reliable and systematic method of identifying children with autism in a regular classroom setting. To attain this, different strategies such as review of school records, discussions with teachers and the administration of an anecdotal case history check list to parents of these children were employed to identify those with autism in nursery schools in Buea. The data was collected using questionnaires and was analyzed using simple percentages and arithmetic mean. Results of the study revealed that 15 children out of 288 in the age range 3-5 years had autism; there were more males than females. Identifying learners with autism in a regular classroom may enhance inclusion and go a long way to prevent mental disorders.

Jogo de Linguagem em Coringa de Todd Phillips
Authors: Da Silva Eduardo Alves
Published: September 2024

No presente artigo apresentamos uma análise filosófica-linguística sobre a construção e formação de sentido da moralidade no filme Coringa de Todd Phillips de 2019. Utilizamos como teorias, conceitos operacionais e ferramentas analíticas as noções de Jogo de Linguagem (WITTGEINSTEIN, 1979), Integração Conceptual (FAUCONNIER; TURNER 2002) e Frame Moral (LAKOFF, 1995, 1996, 2002). A ideia é que para construir significado, o interlocutor que interage com o filme necessita integrar conceitos e não apenas isso, também precisa integrar moralidades distintas apresentadas na obra. De acordo com uma metodologia baseada no paradigma indiciário (GINZBURG, 1989), usando como objeto as integrações conceptuais apresentadas na película, alicerçado numa perspectiva qualitativa de pesquisa (SILVERMAN, 2000), acreditamos que a construção de sentido ontológica e filosófica em Coringa pode perpassar muitos aspectos morais até a concepção subjetiva da definição do antagonista.
Por aqui e por ali, afetos e encontros

RESUMO
A partir da experiência do filme O Viajante, de Abbas Kiarostami, este ensaio busca alcançar os caminhos de Qasem, protagonista do longa-metragem. Propomos bordejar como Qasem experimenta o poder de afetar e de ser afetado, como o seu corpo responde ao que o convoca, como se subtrai da lei moral, e se insere num circuito de experimentações de si, de compreensão da física e da química dos encontros. A pedagogia dos caminhos de Kiarostami, pressagia que, para chegar a dado lugar, os caminhos podem ser múltiplos: o caminho é uma questão de opção, de trajetória, limites e desvios, movimento que nunca se interrompe, embora a trajetória sempre tenha pausas, aberturas, brechas. Não é a moralidade que governa os caminhos kiarostamianos, são as errâncias, as deambulações, o desejo e a ética. Qasem nos dá uma problemática e nos faz pensar, ver, imaginar.
PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Abbas Kiarostami; Caminhos; Afetos; Ética spinoziana.
Por um cinema perigoso
Authors: Liron Eduardo Henrique Annize
Published: September 2024

O artigo examina algumas implicações da provocação de Yolanda Gloria Gamboa Muñoz, que considera “o cinema experimental um caminho paralelo às análises filosóficas”. Apoiando-se no diálogo entre essa pensadora e o cineasta Raul Ruiz, especialmente sob a luz do curta-metragem experimental “O Filme por Vir”, propomos relacionar esses autores buscando diagnosticar os efeitos imprevistos decorrentes desta mistura alquímica.
Uma Onda no Ar
Authors: Viana Irma
Published: September 2024

Este artigo se constitui em uma análise, do ponto de vista sócio antropológico e no campo dos estudos da nacionalidade, do filme Uma Onda no Ar, produzido pelo cineasta brasileiro Helvécio Ratton, lançado em 2002, como um quase documentário sobre um movimento social de resistência negra, surgido numa favela de Belo Horizonte nos anos 1980, e que teve repercussão internacional. A particularidade desse trabalho é levar em consideração os “novos” estudos sobre branquitude na análise da questão racial e do preconceito de raça no Brasil e na cultura brasileira, assim como colocado no filme e nas palavras do diretor sobre seu filme.
Brecht
Authors: Ferrari Sônia Campaner Miguel , Alves Miranda Rita
Published: September 2024

Resumo: Neste artigo apresentamos as reflexões de Brecht sobre o teatro épico e pedagógico e alguns experimentos seus no cinema. Tais reflexões referem-se à importância do teatro como lugar de aprendizado para Brecht e ao lado disso, como o cinema pode ou não ser propício para a educação do público. Recorremos às reflexões de Benjamin sobre o cinema com o objetivo de traçar um paralelo entre suas concepções e a de Brecht sobre o aprendizado proporcionado pelo cinema. Num segundo momento apresentamos os argumentos de Brecht para retornar ao teatro e de que modo suas ideias e práticas vão influenciar tanto o cinema quanto o teatro, sendo muitas vezes difícil perceber sua influência, assim como a sua forma de atuar nas distintas artes.

Authors: De Holanda Paiva Nunes Fernanda , De Souza Delgado Joedson
Published: September 2024

O sistema tributário é uma ferramenta crucial para uma distribuição mais adequada de renda e impostos no Brasil. Contudo, a progressiva disparidade social e econômica que enfrenta a sociedade no Brasil, que deriva de uma injusta divisão de rendimentos e fortunas, o presente capítulo justifica-se pela extrema importância em investigar os mecanismos indispensáveis e diligentes à resolução de tais impasses financeiros, sociais e políticos no contexto brasileiro. Averiguando-se essa conjuntura, ressalta-se o seguinte problema de pesquisa: quais são as principais medidas tributárias capazes de impactar, positivamente, para reduzir a desigualdade social e assegurar a dignidade da pessoa humana? O objetivo geral é averiguar questões conceituais e legais sobre desafios presentes no sistema tributário brasileiro, à luz dos Direitos Humanos. Sobre a definição dos objetivos específicos, estabeleceu-se o seguinte: verificar conceitos e aspectos legais básicos referente ao sistema brasileiro de tributação; investigar argumentos fundamentais para a Reforma Tributária; analisar as principais medidas tributárias necessárias para a diminuição da desigualdade social e garantia da dignidade da pessoa humana.

Foucault, leitor de Platão: Psicagogia, parrésia e o cuidado da verdade
Authors: Garcia Dotto Pedro Mauricio
Published: September 2024

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o conceito de psicagogia em Michel Foucault, ainda pouco discutido na literatura secundária, em sua estreita relação com o de parrésia, com base na leitura foucaultiana dos diálogos platônicos, especialmente do Fedro. Examinarei, assim, a relação entre psicagogia e parrésia na filosofia de Foucault, bem como alguns outros temas coligados, como a pedagogia, a demagogia, a lisonja e a retórica. Para isso, concentrarei o meu estudo sobre os seus cursos A hermenêutica do sujeito (1981-1982) e O governo de si e dos outros (1982-1983), os únicos em que o termo “psicagogia” é mencionado, mas buscarei relacioná-lo com outros trabalhos do filósofo, como Subjetividade e verdade (1980-1981) e A coragem da verdade (1983-1984). Ao fim, proponho a noção de “cuidado da verdade” (epimeleia alētheias) para apreender a intersecção entre parrésia e psicagogia em Foucault.
O Ensino em Saúde e a Filosofia
Authors: Oliveira Isabela Alline , Cândido Viviane Cristina
Published: September 2024

Pretende-se propor uma reflexão sobre o ensino em saúde e a filosofia, para pensarmos acerca da especificidade e das perspectivas de uma Filosofia da Saúde, enquanto um campo de conhecimento de caráter transdisciplinar, em que os conceitos, reflexões e temas da filosofia conformam um arcabouço teórico de interlocução com a área da saúde, tanto no que concerne aos fundamentos epistemológicos das ciências desta área, quanto às suas práticas, considerando a pesquisa, a bioética, o cuidado e a assistência em saúde. Para realização deste trabalho, foi feita uma revisão bibliográfica, que considerou os estudos realizados pelo Grupo de Estudos e Pesquisa em Filosofia da Saúde (GEFS), da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp), vinculado ao Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq), fundado em 2018, no âmbito da Escola Paulista de Medicina.
Medicina Entre A Arte E A Responsabilidade
Authors: G Fonseca Lilian Simone
Published: September 2024

A partir do Ensaio 7 do livro Técnica, medicina e ética, do filósofo alemão Hans Jonas, busca-se pensar a responsabilidade do médico no exercício de sua profissão, tendo em vista alguns conceitos de saúde, para se contrapor à forte tendência atual de a reduzir à mera mercadoria, sobretudo, em função da recente ampliação dos usos da medicina, possibilitada por novas tecnologias, que expandem sua função primordial de cura, rumo à sua aplicação para fins estéticos; aumentando-se, com isso, não apenas a esfera da atuação médica, mas, por consequência, também o âmbito da responsabilidade do médico em sua prática profissional hodierna.
Encontros e Desencontros entre a “I Carta de Paulo aos Coríntios”, o Estoicismo e a “Epiméleia Heautoû”
Authors: Borragini-Abuchaim Silvia Cristina , Vitorino Vieira Nádia , Cândido Viviane Cristina
Published: September 2024

O Cristianismo nascente foi influenciado pelas tradições judaicas num contexto em que o mundo greco-romano se encontrava imerso no Helenismo. Paulo, fariseu, nascido em Tarso e educado em Jerusalém, converteu-se ao Cristo às portas de Damasco. O Apóstolo sofreu a influência da filosofia helenística, especialmente do Estoicismo, perceptível em seus discursos e nas 14 cartas que lhe foram atribuídas no Novo Testamento. Elegemos para nossas reflexões a I Carta aos Coríntios, cujos temas centrais ofereciam possibilidade de diálogo com a filosofia estoica. Fizemos ainda um recorte para verificar como se daria esta interlocução com a epiméleia heautoû, expressão grega que se refere à noção de “cuidado de si”. Nosso objetivo foi promover um diálogo entre Filosofia (estoica), Saúde (epiméleia heautoû) e Espiritualidade (I Carta de Paulo aos Coríntios) para explorar encontros e desencontros. Constatamos, ao final da pesquisa, como o Cristianismo do século I d.C. transitou pelas ideias e valores de seu tempo, evidenciando interlaces entre a Filosofia, a Espiritualidade e a Saúde.
Body, Loss, Memory and Healing: Three Emerging Emirati Women Artists
Authors: Galanopoulos-Papavasileiou Ioannis , Al Dhaheri Aysha , Al Mansoori Mariam , Alqardaeai Sara
Published: September 2024

The UAE is rapidly transforming into a global cultural hub with the establishment of prominent institutions such as the Sheikh Zayed National Museum, the Louvre, and the Guggenheim in Abu Dhabi. Sharjah hosts the Exposure International Photo Festival and an art biennale, with a historic district featuring numerous museums and galleries. Dubai is home to Art Dubai, a leading international art fair in the Middle East, and recently hosted the World Expo and COP28. These developments not only highlight the UAE as a dynamic business hub driven by the petroleum and energy sectors but also position it as an attractive destination for arts and culture. Such rapid changes prompt artists to contemplate issues beyond the visible in the progressing world around them. This paper argues that there is a process of internalization of thoughts and feelings occurring within young artists of the region and transfiguration to art due to such built environment alternation within a bourgeoning social and cultural landscape. More specifically, it elucidates the trajectory of the UAE’s artistic development by analysing recent art projects by Aysha Al Dhaheri, Mariam Al Mansoori, and Sara Alqardaeai. The objective is to analyse the conceptual and contextual frameworks and approaches employed by these emerging artists as they navigate ‘intangible places,’ tackling concepts of the body, loss, memory, and healing within the evolving social and cultural landscape of the region.
Influence of Time Management Stress and Self-Care Moderator on Clergy Quality Family Relationships in Citam, Kenya
Authors: Makena Veronica Kaari , Wambugu Anne G. , Chiroma Nathan H.
Published: September 2024

The clergy profession is a challenging one as they are expected to provide spiritual leadership by providing comfort and support to members of the congregation. If the clergy do not intentionally manage their time-management stress by exercising proper self-care, the quality of their family relationships can be impacted negatively by the stress. This study investigated the influence of time management stress with the self-care moderator on clergy-family relationships in Christ Is The Answer Ministries (CITAM). The total population was 204, and a total of 115 respondents, comprising 57 pastors, 40 spouses, and 18 children, participated in the study. Ethical considerations were adhered to by receiving the necessary approvals and licenses before commencing the study. Primary data was collected using questionnaires and focus group discussions. Quantitative data was analyzed using the linear regression technique and presented in tables, histograms, and box plots. The qualitative data was transcribed and analyzed using a thematic analysis approach to identify key themes. Findings showed that time-management stress had a negative effect on the quality of clergy-family relationships (B = -0.224, p < 0.05). Thematic analysis revealed that having intentionality about their self-care and maintaining clear boundaries between work and personal life would help clergy reduce time-management stress and improve the quality of their family relationships. The study recommended that churches should collaborate with family therapists to offer therapy sessions to all members of the clergy. This would enable the clergy and their families to gain new insights and perspectives in dealing with time-management stress and thereby improve the quality of their family relationships.
UNDIAGNOSED MALIGNANCY IN A PATIENT PRESENTING WITH DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS : A CASE REPORT
Authors: Roohani Dr. Urooj
Published: September 2024

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) encompasses two medical conditions: deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). DVT refers to the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, typically located in the leg. It ranks as the third leading cause of cardiovascular-related deaths, following heart attacks and strokes. Idiopathic VTE can sometimes be an initial clinical sign of an undiagnosed malignancy. This report examines the case of a 42-year-old male who presented with symptoms of lower limb swelling and pain.
