Published: August 2019

Background

An organization’s ability to identify and learn from opportunities for improvement (OFI) is key to increasing diagnostic safety. Many lack effective processes required to capitalize on these learning opportunities. We describe two parallel attempts at creating such a process and identifying generalizable lessons and learn from them.

Methods

Triggered case review programs were created independently at two organizations, Site 1 (Regions Hospital, HealthPartners, Saint Paul, MN, USA) and site 2 (University of California, San Diego). Both used a five-step process to create the review system and provide feedback: (1) identify trigger criteria; (2) establish a review panel; (3) develop a system to conduct reviews; (4) perform reviews; and (5) provide feedback.

Results

Site 1 identified 112 OFI in 184 case reviews (61%), with 66 (59%) provider OFI and 46 (41%) system OFI. Site 2 focused mainly on systems OFI identifying 105 OFI in 346 cases (30%). Opportunities at both sites were variable; common themes included test result management and communication across teams in peri-procedural care and with consultants. Of provider-initiated reviews, 67% of cases had an OFI at site 1 and 87% at site 2.

Conclusions

Lessons learned include the following: (1) peer review of cases provides opportunities to learn and calibrate diagnostic and management decisions at an organizational level; (2) sharing cases in review groups supports a culture of open discussion of OFIs; (3) reviews focused on diagnostic safety identify opportunities that may complement other organization-wide review opportunities.
Standard Terms Incorporation in The Global Market: A Holistic Analysis
Authors: Viglione Vincenzo
Published: August 2019

Corporations operate in the global market by employing standard terms to govern their dealings in a uniform and protective manner. Because of differences among jurisdictions, incorporating standard terms can be problematic, especially if companies decide to adopt a cost-effective holistic approach for a high number of their everyday dealings instead of fragmenting their policy. This paper first examines theoretical issues related to the incorporation of standard terms. It then assesses and compares methods of incorporation developed in practice to identify the ‘Legally Advisable Solution’. These methods are also tested in the main jurisdictions. In conclusion, an international model for the incorporation of standard terms is proposed.
Helping with the Homework: Support Mechanisms for Uncertain Reforms in a Monetary Union
Authors: Hefeker Carsten
Published: August 2019

A lack of structural reforms is often considered as a major problem in many member countries of EMU. This lack is arguably partly due to uncertainty about outcomes and a disregard for how policies spill over to other countries. Monetary union can reinforce this underprovision of structural reforms. Because centralization of structural policies is politically not feasible, I discuss subsidies for reforms and insurance against negative outcomes as alternative mechanisms that increase reform efforts. The paper derives the optimal use of those mechanisms and discusses their implementability.

Some remarks on a pair of seemingly unrelated regression models
Authors: Hou Jian , Zhao Yong
Published: August 2019

Linear regression models are foundation of current statistical theory and have been a prominent object of study in statistical data analysis and inference. A special class of linear regression models is called the seemingly unrelated regression models (SURMs) which allow correlated observations between different regression equations. In this article, we present a general approach to SURMs under some general assumptions, including establishing closed-form expressions of the best linear unbiased predictors (BLUPs) and the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUEs) of all unknown parameters in the models, establishing necessary and sufficient conditions for a family of equalities of the predictors and estimators under the single models and the combined model to hold. Some fundamental and valuable properties of the BLUPs and BLUEs under the SURM are also presented.
Theoretical insight of alpha amino acid phenylalanine adsorption on pristine and decorated fullerenes
Authors: Kaya Mehmet Fatih , Alver Özgür , Parlak Cemal , Ramasami Ponnadurai
Published: August 2019

Fullerenes, with their extensive application potentials, have been receiving attention for their possible usage as drug delivery vehicles and devices for sensor technologies. In this work, the optimized molecular geometries, some diagnostic geometric parameters, electronic characteristics, natural bond orbital examinations and the interaction phenomena between C60, Si- or Al-doped C60 and phenylalanine amino acid molecule were investigated by the quantum mechanical calculations. It is observed that the impurity addition and using water as the solvent intensify the interaction between fullerene and amino acid system. These lead to various alterations in the electronic properties and NH stretching values of the clusters studied.

Computer Science and Metaphysics: A Cross-Fertilization
Authors: Kirchner Daniel , Benzmüller Christoph , Zalta Edward N.
Published: August 2019

Computational philosophy is the use of mechanized computational techniques to unearth philosophical insights that are either difficult or impossible to find using traditional philosophical methods. Computational metaphysics is computational philosophy with a focus on metaphysics. In this paper, we (a) develop results in modal metaphysics whose discovery was computer assisted, and (b) conclude that these results work not only to the obvious benefit of philosophy but also, less obviously, to the benefit of computer science, since the new computational techniques that led to these results may be more broadly applicable within computer science. The paper includes a description of our background methodology and how it evolved, and a discussion of our new results.
Influence of the incorporation of different chemically functionalized carbon nanotubes in polyurethane resin applied on aluminum
Authors: Gobbi Gabriela , Rossa Beltrami Lilian Vanessa , Zattera Ademir José
Published: August 2019

Composites based on commercial thermoplastic polyurethane resin (PU) with three different types of carbon nanotubes (CNT), in 0.5% concentration, were prepared and applied on an AA 7075 aluminum surface. CNT unfunctionalized, CNT functionalized with carboxylic groups, and CNT functionalized with amine groups were tested. The composites were evaluated by optical microscopy, adhesion, impact strength, salt spray, and electrical conductivity. In addition, a wave-guide technique between 8.2 and 12.3 GHz was used to measure the electromagnetic properties of the composites. The results showed that the CNT functionalized with amine group (NH2) presented a good interaction of the PU resin, thus forming a level and uniform film. The analyses of adhesion, direct impact, and salt spray showed that all samples presented excellent performance. Although the samples presented a low electromagnetic performance, an emerging potential for electromagnetic shielding was noticed.
Die Höhle Cougnac. Gewalt und Religion in der Höhlenmalerei
Authors: Rauer Constantin
Published: August 2019

Die Cougnac-Höhle ist nicht nur eine der ältesten und am längsten genutzten Kultstätten der Menschheit (25.000–14.000 BP), sondern auch jenes Heiligtum, dessen Gemälde die animistischen Glaubensvorstellungen des Jungpaläolithikums deutlich vor Augen führen. Durch präzise ikonografische Bildanalysen unterscheidet der Beitrag zwischen den mythischen Darstellungen der Glaubensinhalte, den kultischen Repräsentationen der Magier, den Chiffren der Sexualsimulation sowie den magischen Riten, um alsdann deren wechselseitige Bezüge herauszuarbeiten. Dies geschieht anhand des etwa 30 m langen Frieses von Cougnac, der eine sequenzielle Bildgeschichte erzählt. Die Geschichte handelt von zwei Ermordeten, die sich reinkarnieren; der eine in ein Mammut, der andere in einen Riesenhirsch. Begleitet werden ihre Seelenwanderungen von zwei Magiern, die mit zwei Hilfsgeistern, einem Hirsch und einem Vogel, durchs Totenreich fliegen. In der nachfolgenden Bildsequenz werden Felswandvulven von aviformen Zeichen umschwärmt, wobei die Sexualisierung der Felswand ein restituierendes Gegenstück zu den anfänglichen Mordszenen darstellt. Schließlich wurden die einzelnen Szenen sowie abschließend noch eine ganze Halle mit rituellen Fingerabdrücken markiert, womit die Adepten sich auf den Felswänden verewigten und dafür im Gegenzug das Mana der Felswand empfingen. Analysiert wird auch die sehr ähnliche Bildgeschichte der Mordszene von Pech-Merle. Der Beitrag schließt mit Betrachtungen zum Todesbewusstsein im Jungpaläolithikum sowie dessen Bedeutung für die conditio humana.

Published: August 2019

To understand the genetic basis of complex traits, it is important to be able to efficiently phenotype many genetically distinct individuals. In the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans, individuals have been isolated from diverse populations around the globe and whole-genome sequenced. As a result, hundreds of wild strains with known genome sequences can be used for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, phenotypic analysis of these strains can be laborious, particularly for quantitative traits requiring multiple measurements per strain. Starvation resistance is likely a fitness-proximal trait for nematodes, and it is related to metabolic disease risk in humans. However, natural variation in C. elegans starvation resistance has not been systematically characterized, and precise measurement of the trait is time-intensive. Here, we developed a population-selection-and-sequencing-based approach to phenotype starvation resistance in a pool of 96 wild strains. We used restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) to infer the frequency of each strain among survivors in a mixed culture over time during starvation. We used manual starvation survival assays to validate the trait data, confirming that strains that increased in frequency over time are starvation-resistant relative to strains that decreased in frequency. Further, we found that variation in starvation resistance is significantly associated with variation at a region on chromosome III. Using a near-isogenic line (NIL), we showed the importance of this genomic interval for starvation resistance. This study demonstrates the feasibility of using population selection and sequencing in an animal model for phenotypic analysis of quantitative traits, documents natural variation of starvation resistance in C. elegans, and identifies a genomic region that contributes to such variation.

Published: August 2019

RESUMO Objetivos Calcular a prevalência de sintomatologia depressiva pré-natal em grávidas de baixo risco, no termo da gestação, avaliar seus preditores e desfechos materno-fetais. Para tal, avaliar-se-á a aplicabilidade da Escala de Rastreio de Depressão Pós-Parto (PDSS 24) nessa fase da gravidez. Métodos A PDSS 24 e um questionário sociodemográfico, psicossocial e médico (antecedentes obstétricos e patológicos) foram autoaplicados a 403 grávidas (37-40 semanas de gestação), com idade média de 30,5 anos (DP = 4,67). Por meio do processo clínico, foram recolhidos dados de resultados materno-fetais. Resultados A PDSS 24 possui propriedades psicométricas adequadas para a deteção de sintomatologia depressiva pré-natal. A prevalência de sintomatologia depressiva pré-natal foi de 41,7%. Grávidas com níveis de escolaridade inferiores, não casadas, cuja gravidez não foi planejada e com antecedentes de acontecimentos de vida significativos apresentam risco duas vezes superior de sintomatologia depressiva no período pré-natal. Grávidas cujo apoio social percebido ao longo da gravidez não correspondeu ao desejado e com história prévia de depressão apresentam cerca de três vezes maior risco sintomatologia depressiva no período pré-natal. Para desfechos materno-fetais (pré-eclâmpsia, restrição de crescimento fetal, Apgar 1º/5º minuto, tipo de parto, percentil de peso, oligoâminos e necessidade de cuidados intensivos), as diferenças foram não significativas. Conclusão O rastreio da depressão pré-natal deve ser realizado na gravidez. Porém, no termo da gestação o uso da PDSS 24 como ferramenta de deteção de sintomatologia depressiva deve ser feito com cautela. A elevada prevalência de sintomas relacionados com o sono nessa fase da gestação pode conduzir ao sobre diagnóstico, usando a PDSS 24.

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a qualidade de vida familiar (QVF) entre famílias brasileiras que têm filhos com deficiência intelectual (DI) moderada. Métodos Estudo transversal, realizado com 50 famílias com filhos com DI moderada de São Carlos, São Paulo, Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de formulários, com informações sociodemográficas, os índices de funcionalidade de Barthel e de Lawton & Brody e a Escala de Qualidade de Vida Familiar do Beach Center. Resultados Os domínios mais fortemente correlacionados com a QVF total foram “interação familiar” (r = 0,870; p < 0,001) e “cuidado dos pais com os filhos” (r = 0,845; p < 0,001). Não houve diferenças na distribuição da QVF em relação às variáveis sociodemográficas investigadas. Observou-se correlação moderada (r = 0,326) e significativa (p = 0,021) entre o índice de funcionalidade de Lawton & Brody e a QVF. O modelo de regressão linear ajustado explicou 10,6% da variabilidade encontrada na QVF (p = 0,021) e mostrou que o aumento de uma unidade no valor do índice de Lawton & Brody representou aumento de 0,092 na QVF. Conclusão A QVF das famílias investigadas encontra-se aquém de outras amostras internacionais. Ações clínicas que fortaleçam o diálogo e a coesão familiar e a construção de um plano terapêutico individualizado podem ser meios efetivos de ajuda a essas famílias.

Published: August 2019

A prevalência do tabagismo no Brasil reduziu sobremaneira nas últimas décadas, mas o país ainda tem uma elevada carga de doença associada a este fator de risco. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar a carga de mortalidade, morbidade e custos para a sociedade associada ao tabagismo em 2015 e o potencial impacto gerado em desfechos de saúde e para a economia a partir do aumento de preços dos cigarros por meio de impostos. Foram desenvolvidos dois modelos: o primeiro é um modelo matemático baseado em uma microssimulação probabilística de milhares de indivíduos usando-se coortes hipotéticas que considerou a história natural, custos e a qualidade de vida destes indivíduos. O segundo é um modelo de impostos aplicado para estimar o benefício econômico e em desfechos de saúde de diferentes cenários de aumento de preços em 10 anos. O tabagismo foi responsável por 156.337 mortes, 4,2 milhões de anos de vida perdidos, 229.071 infartos agudos do miocárdio, 59.509 acidentes vasculares cerebrais e 77.500 diagnósticos de câncer. O custo total foi de R$ 56,9 bilhões, dos quais 70% corresponderam ao custo direto associado à assistência à saúde e o restante ao custo indireto devido à perda de produtividade por morte prematura e incapacidade. Um aumento de 50% do preço do cigarro evitaria 136.482 mortes, 507.451 casos de doenças cardiovasculares, 64.382 de casos de câncer e 100.365 acidentes vasculares cerebrais. O benefício econômico estimado seria de R$ 97,9 bilhões. Concluiu-se que a carga da doença e econômica associada ao tabagismo é elevada no Brasil e o aumento de impostos é capaz de evitar mortes, adoecimento e custos para a sociedade.

ABSTRACT Background: The identification of prognostic factors of gastric cancer (GC) has allowed to predict the evolution of patients. Aim: Assess the reliability of the lymphoparietal index in the prediction of long-term survival in GC treated with curative intent. Method: Prospective study of the Universidad de Chile Clinical Hospital, between May 2004 and May 2012. Included all gastric cancer surgeries with curative intent. Exclusion criteria were: gastrectomies due to benign lesions, stage 4 cancers, R1 resections, palliative procedures, complete esophagogastrectomies and emergency surgeries. Results: A total of 284 patients were included; of the sample 65.4% were male,mean age of 64.5 years,75% were advanced cancers, 72.5% required a total gastrectomy, 30 lymph nodes harvest. Surgical morbidity and mortality were 17.2% and 1.7%. 5-year survival was 56.9%. The N+/T index could predict long-term survival in all de subgrups (p<0.0001), although had a reliable prediction in early GC (p=0.005), advanced GC (p<0.0001), signet ring cell GC (p<0.0001), proximal GC (p<0.0001) and distal GC (p<0.0001). The ROC curves N+/T index, LNR and T classification presented areas below the curve of 0.789, 0.786 and 0,790 respectively, without a significant statistical difference (p=0.96). Conclusion: The N+/T index is a reliable quotient in the prognostic evaluation of gastric adenocarcinoma patients who have been resected with curative intent.
Diversity of Odonata (Insecta) in Seasonal Deciduous Forest fragments in southern Brazil (state of Rio Grande do Sul), with a new record for the state and comments on the seasonal distribution of the species

Abstract: We present an Odonata (Insecta) check list of species occurring in a fragment of the Seasonal Deciduous Forest (Atlantic Forest biome) from the central region of the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS), southern Brazil, along with a list of the odonate species recorded in this phytoecological region for the state. In addition, we provide comments on the seasonal distribution of the species occurring in the study area. Two streams and seven farm ponds located in the middle course of the Jacuí River basin were surveyed between December 2007 and February 2009. Overall, we recorded 49 species from 21 genera and six families. Argia serva Hagen in Selys, 1865 (Coenagrionidade) had its first occurrence record mentioned for the state, elevating to 183 the total number of Odonata species occurring in Rio Grande do Sul. The number of species recorded in the study area corresponds to ~26% of the known Odonata diversity in RS. Libellulidae was the most species-rich family (22 species, ~45% of the total), followed by Coenagrionidae (18 species, 37% of the total). The checklist for the Seasonal Deciduous Forest in RS indicated the occurrence of 83 species of Odonata in this phytoecological region (~45% of the known odonate species in the state). This elevated diversity could be related to the density of the vegetation structure. In the study area, 20 species were found in streams, and 45 in farm ponds. Species occurrence showed marked seasonal patterns in the study area, with 88% of the species recorded from summer to autumn, and no species detected in streams in the winter. Moreover, 70% of the species were recorded in either one or two seasons in farm ponds, while 65% occurred solely in one season in streams. This result indicates that the life cycle of Odonata in southern Brazil is strongly influenced by seasonal patterns in temperature.
CRITICAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION AND THE PARADIGMATIC TRANSITION OF ENVIRONMENT LAW IN DISOBJECTIFICATING ANIMALS
Authors: BEHLING GREICI MAIA , CAPORLINGUA VANESSA HERNANDEZ
Published: August 2019

Abstract Animal Rights is a zone of silence within the research on Environmental Education, which still superficially considers the subjugation of animals. Looking for elements that support the understanding of the real and possible impacts of the alteration of the legal status of the animals for their protection, we aim to debate the new paradigmatic possibility that establishes, from the animalistic theories, with the contributions brought by Critical Environmental Education and with the ethical challenges coming from accepting animals as subjects of law and limiting the Critical Environmental Education itself. We chose as a methodological approach the documentary and bibliographic research. Based on the arguments of sentience and solidarity, we conclude that Critical Environmental Education is consistent with the disobjection of animals, given their counter-hegemonic character.
MARITIME SPACES AND THEIR GEOGRAPHY
Authors: RIO GISELA AQUINO PIRES DO
Published: August 2019

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to introduce a set of themes deemed as significant in the preparation of an agenda of research about maritime spaces. It starts from a specific knowledge field - geography - in order to raise a connection with other knowledge fields. Maritime space is defined as a surface of inaccurate extension where activities are carried out, specific uses are assigned, and territories are delimitated; therefore, it involves communication and circulation routes such as navigation routes, transoceanic canals, waters sheltered and bordered by isthmuses, prolongation of the topography in the continental shelf and zones of fluvio-marine and land-sea relations. Four points were defined: a) circulation; b) frontiers and borders; c) resources; and d) the environment, associated with broader issues such as international flows and networks, spatial regulation, conflicts and tensions, vulnerability of zones of land-sea relation. Concepts as maritime space and regulation surfaces are reinforced in order to build a connection in the interdisciplinary field.
HAZARDOUS DRINKING AND ITS CORRELATES AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN BARBADOS
Authors: Seale-Foster Laura , Hynes Marya
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: this study investigates the relationship between problematic drinking, gender, age, marijuana consumption, driving under the influence of alcohol and riding with an alcohol intoxicated driver among university students in Barbados. Method: a cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from 371 students, the majority of whom were female (73.6%) and between the ages of 18 and 21 (60.6%). Results: the majority of participants (81.1%) consumed alcohol in the preceding 12 months and 17.2% met the criteria for problematic drinking based on their Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test score. A significant relationship was uncovered between problematic drinking and student gender, driving under the influence alcohol, riding with an alcohol intoxicated driver and marijuana consumption. Conclusion: further research using a representative sample should be conducted to determine if the findings hold true for the wider student population. Nevertheless, the study highlights the presence of problematic drinking among the students and therefore initiatives should be implemented to reduce and eliminate its occurrence.
PERCEPTION OF RISK AND DRIVING UNDER THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL AND MARIJUANA ON UNIVERSITY STUDENTS IN A MULTICENTER STUDY: COLOMBIA
Authors: Moncaleano Juan David , Brands Bruna
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: analyze the relationship between the perception of risk and the behavior of driving under the influence of alcohol or marijuana or getting into a vehicle driven by someone under the effects of these substances in order to identify risk factors and protective factors. Method: multicenter study cross sectional survey with students from a University in Colombia (n = 493) completed a survey prepared during the International Program of Training in Research for Health Professionals and Related Areas to Study the Drug Phenomenon in Latin America and the Caribbean. Results: an inverse relationship was observed between each of the three levels of risk perception: detection (p<.001), punishment (p<.05) and harm (p<.001), and driving behaviors with alcohol. This same type of relationship is observed with marijuana in terms of perceived risk of being involved in an accident (p<.05). However, regarding to marijuana, there is not enough evidence of an association with the perceived risk of being arrested or punished. The results show that there is an inverse relationship between what the students' relatives and friends think and do and the perception of risk of being arrested (p<.001), punished (p<.001) or of being involved in an accident (p<.001) for driving under the influence of alcohol and marijuana at the same time. Conclusion: the results suggest that there are risk factors and protective factors that can be intervened to prevent injuries or fatal events associated with driving under the influence of alcohol or marijuana.

A floresta é o domus: a importância das evidências arqueobotânicas e arqueológicas das ocupações humanas amazônicas na transição Pleistoceno/Holoceno
Authors: Shock Myrtle Pearl , Moraes Claide de Paula
Published: August 2019

Resumo Este artigo discute o papel que as antigas ocupações exerceram na constituição do que se considera como floresta amazônica, tendo como base dados arqueológicos e arqueobotânicos da transição Pleistoceno/Holoceno e partindo das relações entre humanos e ambientes (destacando eixos de heterogeneidade). A ocupação de lugares estratégicos da paisagem, a alteração permanente da composição do ambiente e o manejo de uma gama variada de plantas, principalmente de palmeiras, levam a pensar que alguns conceitos sobre mobilidade e incipiência cultural de grupos humanos antigos carecem de revisão. Com proposta de estabelecer diálogo entre informações de trabalhos ecológicos, botânicos, biogeográficos, etnográficos e arqueológicos, procuramos demonstrar que o retorno para lugares promovidos é uma estratégia de ocupação que remonta às ocupações mais antigas. Destacando as plantas como marcadores importantes, apresentamos uma proposta de conceito de inclusão para situar o planejamento dos usos de recursos diversificados e suas modificações do/no ambiente, transformando estes em lugares persistentes.

Resumo No início do século XXI, o tema povoamento inicial da América ainda é sinônimo de controvérsia. Para além da diversidade de interpretações sobre os contextos arqueológicos com datações pleistocênicas, as divergências sobrea origem dos povos ameríndios recebem influências das diferentes lógicas que afetam a prática da arqueologia nas Américas, reforçadas pelos eventos científicos e por revistas acadêmicas. Essas questões serão analisadas aqui a partirde minha experiência como participante da conferência Paleoamerican Odyssey, que ocorreu em 2013 em Santa Fé, no Novo México (EUA).
Arqueologia do povoamento inicial da América ou História Antiga da América: quão antigo pode ser um ‘Novo Mundo’?
Authors: Bueno Lucas
Published: August 2019

Resumo Neste texto, discutimos o tema do povoamento inicial da América como uma narrativa – mais do que sítios, datas e artefatos, são analisados os discursos construídos a partir destes ‘dados’. Esta proposta baseia-se em uma perspectiva da Arqueologia que enfatiza a dinâmica social envolvida na construção do passado. Um dos pontos discutidos envolve a desconstrução da dicotomia entre ‘história x pré-história’ nas Américas. Essa discussão baseia-se em propostas relacionadas à ideia de ‘tempo profundo’ e ‘história profunda’, como já vem sendo discutido por historiadores, arqueólogos e antropólogos em outros países. Além de uma discussão conceitual sobre a construção dessas narrativas, propomos uma reflexão tambémsobre aspectos metodológicos vinculados à pesquisa de contextos relacionados aos momentos iniciais de entrada de pessoas nas Américas. Por fim, sugerimos alguns pontos para reflexão no sentido de construirmos uma História Antigadas Américas que incorpore diferentes formas de narrativa e temporalidades, cuja construção envolveria posições mais simétricas entre os diversos grupos que compõem essa história.

Resumen Este artículo analiza la producción intelectual y contribuciones desde los postulados de la Escuela Histórico-Cultural austro-alemana en el desarrollo científico y fundamentación institucional de la antropología en Chile. Mediante una aproximación a la trayectoria y obra de Max Uhle, Martin Gusinde y Aureliano Oyarzún, se presentan algunos elementos que tienen por objetivo caracterizar los aportes en las investigaciones realizadas en el país, así como su contribución alas dinámicas socio-institucionales que permiten el nacimiento de la antropología científica hacia inicios del siglo XX. Para cumplir con dicho objetivo, se procedió mediante una aproximación de corte histórico, desde la cual se profundizó en el análisis de la producción científica de dichos autores. Esto permitió identificar y caracterizar actores, áreas de trabajo, núcleos temáticos comprendidos en el ejercicio antropológico, arqueológico y etnológico. Esta investigación entrega elementos que permiten discutir ciertas afirmaciones sobre la antropología a comienzos del siglo XX en Chile, entre ellas, la idea de la homogeneidad de sus prácticas, así como lo gravitante de su contribución con una política estatal de construcción de la nación
Uma abordagem interdisciplinar do sítio arqueológico Cedro, baixo Amazonas
Authors: Troufflard Joanna , Alves Daiana Travassos
Published: August 2019

Resumo A região de Santarém serviu de cenário para o desenvolvimento de uma das maiores sociedades regionais da Amazônia durante o período pré-colonial tardio. Os habitantes desta região, descritos pelas crônicas coloniais como ‘Tapajó’, ocuparam uma vasta área ao sul do sítio Santarém, centro sociopolítico dessa sociedade. No platô de Belterra, estabeleceram ocupações permanentes e autônomas, como o sítio Cedro, localizado a 30 km do sítio Santarém. Por meio do estudo do sítio Cedro, este trabalho visa aprofundar duas das vertentes desenvolvidas pelo paradigma histórico-ecológico: o método interdisciplinar e a perspectiva de longa duração. Através de análises cerâmicas e líticas, geoquímicas e arqueobotânicas, nosso estudo evidencia quatro áreas de atividade usadas pelos moradores do sítio: (1) uma área de preparo de alimentos, que também serviu de oficina cerâmica; (2) uma área de enterramento de vasilhas; (3) um bolsão ritual; e (4) um poço artificial. Ao relacionar o contexto arqueológico com o uso do espaço na longa duração, verifica-se que a presença de terra preta e de poços na área do platô de Belterra, que continuam sendo utilizados, nos permite refletir sobre as possíveis funções desses dois elementos durante a época pré-colonial e sobre a continuação de práticas sociais antigas na atualidade.

Resumo Este artigo aborda o processo de implementação de acervos etnobotânicos no Brasil, com enfoque nas coleções da Amazônia brasileira e sua importância frente às metas da Estratégia Global para a Conservação de Plantas (GSPC) no país.Foram identificadas quatro recentes coleções etnobotânicas no Brasil: duas encontram-se no Sudeste – no Jardim Botânico do Rio de Janeiro (JBRJ) e no Jardim Botânico da Fundação Zoobotânica de Minas Gerais (JBFZB-BH), – e duas no estadodo Pará – no Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi (MPEG) e na Universidade do Estado do Pará (UEPA) –, reunindo mais de mil e quinhentas amostras, distribuídas em diferentes categorias de uso, com destaque para a medicinal. Estas coleçõesrefletem a importância da flora dos biomas Mata Atlântica, Cerrado e Amazônia em diversos contextos socioculturais e estão relacionadas às atividades voltadas a atingir pelo menos três das metas delineadas pela GSPC. Portanto, acervosdessa natureza devem ser encorajados e apoiados, dado o seu inestimável valor científico e cultural.

Resumo As características e os desafios do trabalho dos cuidadores de idosos ainda são pouco investigados no Brasil. O presente artigo tem por objetivo explorar as percepções de cuidadores de idosos sobre seu trabalho a partir da perspectiva da Economia do Care. Por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa, foram realizadas dez entrevistas com cuidadores que atendem no próprio domicílio do idoso. As entrevistas foram realizadas com base em um roteiro semiestruturado e analisadas por meio da técnica de análise de conteúdo. Dessa análise emergiram quatro categorias sobre as características e desafios desse trabalho: a) apresenta-se aos cuidadores como necessidade para complementar a renda; b) é fonte geradora de sofrimento físico e psíquico; c) os cuidadores criticam a mercantilização do cuidado; e, d) apontam dificuldades para ajustar relações de intimidade, envolvimento afetivo e remuneração do trabalho. Os resultados permitem explorar as subjetividades envolvidas nesse trabalho e apontar intervenções para sua qualificação, oferecendo melhores condições aos cuidadores no ato de cuidar.
Disponibilidad léxica en procesos de formación inicial de futuros profesores de inglés
Authors: Quintanilla Espinoza Angie , Salcedo Lagos Pedro
Published: August 2019

RESUMEN A pesar de la riqueza de estudios existentes en el área de disponibilidad léxica, el léxico de las comunidades científicas y/o profesionales ha pasado casi inadvertido por los investigadores. En este contexto, se presentan los resultados de un estudio de disponibilidad léxica en el cual se encuestó a 28 estudiantes de 4o año de Pedagogía en Inglés en 16 centros de interés (ocho generales y ocho especializados del tipo pedagógico-disciplinar). El objetivo de esta investigación es establecer si existen diferencias cuantitativas entre el léxico general y el léxico especializado de los sujetos de la muestra. Los resultados evidencian que el léxico disponible en los centros de interés de tipo general es mayor que el léxico disponible en los centros especializados. Esto podría deberse a que el léxico de tipo general es de uso cotidiano, mientras que el léxico especializado sólo se utiliza en un ámbito restringido y al interior de una comunidad lingüística específica.
Neoliberalismo, ética e produtividade acadêmica: subjetivação e resistência em programas de pós-graduação brasileiros
Authors: Maurente Vanessa Soares
Published: August 2019

A cultura da avaliação caracteriza-se como importante dispositivo de controle contemporâneo. Na educação superior, a lógica produtivista é apenas mais uma expressão da ubiquidade das práticas neoliberais, que engendram modos de subjetivação e capturas em espaços que deveriam resguardar possibilidades de resistência. A partir da noção foucaultiana de ética, este artigo aborda experiências de estudantes de pós-graduação em relação ao que chamamos de moral produtivista neoliberal no contexto acadêmico. Apresentam-se fragmentos de uma pesquisa-intervenção, que incluiu entrevistas semiestruturadas e oficinas de fotografia com dez estudantes de cinco programas de pós-graduação de universidades brasileiras. Os resultados apontam para a sujeição a uma moral produtivista no contexto acadêmico e para formas de questionamento e resistência que se articulam nas relações dos sujeitos consigo mesmos, deixando entrever também o sofrimento dos pós-graduandos que, com altos níveis de produtividade, são considerados cases de sucesso.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: High prevalence of dental caries in ulcerative colitis (UC) has been attributed to diet and changes in salivary environment. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to characterize the prevalence of dental caries, salivary flow rates, salivary buffering capacity and cariogenic bacteria counts of Mutans streptococci and Lactobacillus spp and to evaluate their relationship with drug therapy, disease activity and duration. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed with UC patients followed in a tertiary center. Participants were submitted to a questionnaire (including demographic data, oral hygiene, eating habits) and a clinical observation with assessment of plaque index and Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth index. Unstimulated/stimulated saliva was collected. Medical records, disease activity (Partial Mayo Score) and disease duration were collected. Laboratory data included salivary flow rates, salivary buffering capacity (CRT® buffer) and cariogenic bacteria count (Mutans streptococci and Lactobacillus spp) in saliva using the CRT® bacteria test (results: high or low counts). RESULTS: Thirty UC patients were recruited. Oral hygiene routines were daily teeth brushing once or more (96.7%) and fluoride toothpaste (73.3%). Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth index (mean 16.17±6.428) was not affected by the frequency of soft drinks, cakes, sweets and sugars between meals (P>0.2). Long-term disease showed a trend towards higher prevalence of caries (P=0.06). Most presented normal salivary flow rates, unstimulated (73.3%) and stimulated (60.0%), and high salivary buffering capacity (66.7%). Any association was found with age, gender, disease activity, disease duration and drug therapy. High Mutans streptococci and low Lactobacillus spp count were observed in 73.3% and 60% of patients, respectively. Patients with active disease (100%) and longer duration (88.9%) displayed higher Mutans streptococci count. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of dental caries observed in UC patients was significant and did not seem to be influenced by their eating habits. The high prevalence of Mutans streptococci count may be a major risk factor for dental caries and may be looked as part of the UC dysbiosis. Dental care of UC patients should be planned according with this microbiota variation.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Treatment for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) includes a variety of immunosuppressants and biological agents, which increase the risk of infections due to altered cellular and humoral immunity. Prevention of these infections can be done through vaccination, however, patients with IBD are usually under-immunized. OBJECTIVE: Analyze the immunization status of patients with IBD and confront it with the current recommendations to verify if the immunization guidelines are being followed correctly. METHODS: Analytical cross-sectional study including 239 IBD patients being regularly followed in the Gastroenterology Service from Hospital de Clínicas da Universidade Federal do Paraná, which were subjected to a survey about their relevant demographic data and immunization status. RESULTS: The amount of patients that declared being unaware of their immunization status is high - between 34.3% (Tdap) and 52% (meningococcal) - excepting IIV, hepatitis B and HPV. The vaccines with the largest rates of patients declaring to have taken it are inactivated influenza vaccine (72.4%), BCG (55.3%), hepatitis B (48.3%), measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (43.8%) and DTaP (43%). The vaccines with the lowest rates of patients declaring to have taken it are Haemophilus influenza type b (0.8%), herpes zoster (2.1%) and HPV (3.4%). Patients that are being treated or have been treated with biological therapy have the largest immunization coverage for inactivated influenza vaccine (81%) and PPSV23 (25.9%), also they have the largest awareness rates for those vaccines. CONCLUSION: Although being a specialized service linked to a university hospital, vaccination coverage and patients’ awareness rates proved to be below the desirable level. Vaccination and recovery of the immunization history is recommended immediately after the diagnosis of IBD, regardless of the use of biological agents. Those findings support the need of implementing hospital guidelines and constantly verifying its application by the multidisciplinary team in specialized services in IBD.
