Collaborative programming problem-solving in augmented reality: Multimodal analysis of effectiveness and group collaboration
Authors: Chung Cheng-Yu , Awad Nayif , Hsiao I-Han
Published: December 2021

Although numerous studies have demonstrated different ways that augmented reality (AR) can assist students to understand the learning content via contextualised visualisation, less explored is its effect on collaborative problem-solving (CPS) in computer programming. This study aims to investigate how AR affects a CPS in a programming task. We designed a mobile app that could visualise computer programming in AR and non-AR 3D images. The app could involve two participants working together on a programming problem face to face in the same workspace. We conducted a within-subjects experiment to compare their AR experience to the non-AR experience and collected multimodal usage data about the task performance, verbal communication, and user experience. The analysis showed that the participants in the AR experience had higher task performance and more insightful communication than the non-AR. The participants also had positive attitudes toward the use of AR in classroom instructions. In a semi-structured interview, the participants reflected that AR helped them engage in the content and analyse the task easier. Based on this study, we discuss several challenges and implications for future instruction designers.
Implications for practice or policy:

AR can improve student engagement in a collaborative problem-solving task.
AR has the potential to promote and improve group communication in collaborative work.
Instruction designers may need to carefully align the characteristics of AR with the task content especially when physical models are rarely used in the learning content.

Published: December 2021

This study compared the associated impact of gamified molecular genetics lessons on undergraduate student grades for pre-COVID-19 blended delivery and COVID-19 online only delivery of a first-year biology course. When the molecular genetics gamified lessons were used by on- and off-campus students to support their learning, most students had successful learning outcomes in either blended or online only learning environments. In contrast, students who chose not to use these lessons had significantly greater failure rates for both the molecular biology and the genetics short answer questions in the final invigilated exams. Importantly, there was noticeable gamified lesson fatigue observed by both on- and off-campus students and therefore when incorporating gamified lessons into courses, curriculum design needs to be carefully considered. In conclusion, the use of gamified lessons was associated with significantly reduced student failure rates for molecular genetics concepts studied in a university foundational biology course.
A System for Securing the Durabilityn and Effectiveness of the Three Seas Initiative
Authors: Lorek Artur Marcin
Published: December 2021

Abstract The purpose of this article is to evaluate the security system for the durability and effectiveness of the Three Seas Initiative as an informal union of Central European countries. The author diagnoses a set of elements that constitute potential ‘fuses’ for implementing the goals set by 3SI: embedding the Initiative’s priorities within strategic EU programmes, informalization and decentralization of cooperation, and development of mutual business and economic cooperation. The analysis of the security system has been embedded in the context of contemporary challenges faced by Europe. In order to verify the problem of security mechanisms, desk research was carried out, which consisted of a system (political) analysis and elements of strategic analysis. The result of the research work was to determine the mutual interaction and conditioning of the individual pillars of the durability and effectiveness of 3SI. Thus, evidence was carried out for the legitimacy of recognizing the three previously defined aspects as crucial for the effective operation of the Three Seas Initiative.

The ousiakos logos, the procurator usiacus, and ousiake ge: was it Vespasian, Domitian or Hadrian?
Authors: Broux Yanne
Published: December 2021

This article challenges the consensus that the Flavians carried out major reforms of imperial properties by creating a separate department, the ousiakos logos, headed by a procurator usiacus, to manage these lands, and that this situation remained unchanged until Diocletian. The available evidence rather points to a reorganization under Hadrian, which was the culmination of a gradual institutionalization of ousiac land in the previous decades.

Aphasia recovery after stroke depends on the condition of the remaining, extralesional brain network. Network control theory (NCT) provides a unique, quantitative approach to assess the interaction between brain networks. In this longitudinal, large-scale, whole-brain connectome study, we evaluated whether controllability measures of language-related regions are associated with treated aphasia recovery. Using probabilistic tractography and controlling for the effects of structural lesions, we reconstructed whole-brain diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) connectomes from 68 individuals (20 female, 48 male) with chronic poststroke aphasia who completed a three-week language therapy. Applying principles of NCT, we computed regional (1) average and (2) modal controllability, which decode the ability of a region to (1) spread control input through the brain network and (2) to facilitate brain state transitions. We tested the relationship between pretreatment controllability measures of 20 language-related left hemisphere regions and improvements in naming six months after language therapy using multiple linear regressions and a parsimonious elastic net regression model with cross-validation. Regional controllability of the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) pars opercularis, pars orbitalis, and the anterior insula were associated with treatment outcomes independently of baseline aphasia severity, lesion volume, age, education, and network size. Modal controllability of the IFG pars opercularis was the strongest predictor of treated aphasia recovery with cross-validation and outperformed traditional graph theory, lesion load, and demographic measures. Regional NCT measures can reflect the status of the residual language network and its interaction with the remaining brain network, being able to predict language recovery after aphasia treatment.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTPredicting and understanding language recovery after brain injury remains a challenging, albeit a fundamental aspect of human neurology and neuroscience. In this study, we applied network control theory (NCT) to fully harness the concept of brain networks as dynamic systems and to evaluate their interaction. We studied 68 stroke survivors with aphasia who underwent imaging and longitudinal behavioral assessments coupled with language therapy. We found that the controllability of the inferior frontal regional network significantly predicted recovery in language production six months after treatment. Importantly, controllability outperformed traditional demographic, lesion, and graph-theoretical measures. Our findings shed light on the neurobiological basis of human language and can be translated into personalized rehabilitation approaches.
On Virtuality and the Diasporic Imagination
Authors: Johnson Larissa Andrea
Published: December 2021

This report covers the 10th edition of BlackStar Film Festival (BSFF), which took place virtually and in person over a week in early August 2021. The independent festival features work by Black, Brown and Indigenous makers, and aims to reach a wide audience whose identities and experiences are reflected in the films. Johnson considers the multifaceted symbolism of the Black Star as it is realized in the curatorial and institutional vision of the festival, and considers the affordances (and limitations) of virtuality toward greater distribution of, and access to, independent films in the places they represent. An extensive review of the shorts program includes reporting on category winners Lizard (Akinola Davies Jr), Dear Philadelphia (Renee Maria Osubu) and Elena (Michèle Stephenson). This is the first review of BSFF for Film Quarterly.
INTERFERENSI MORFOLOGI DAN SINTAKSIS BAHASA INDONESIA DALAM BERBICARA BAHASA ARAB KOMUNITAS AL-KINDY UIN MALANG
Authors: Yuslizar Firsa Afra , Arifa Zakiyah
Published: December 2021

This research is based on the problem of morphological and syntactical first language interference which is often overlooked in second language learning. Interference problems result in misunderstanding the meaning of words or sentences spoken by students towards the second language used. This study attempts to analyze the Indonesian morphological and syntactical interference in speaking Arabic of Al-Kindy community UIN Malang, explaining the factors and implications of interference in learning speaking Arabic. This research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach, and the data are collected through observation by analyzing subject audio documentation data (listening technique- note-taking technique) and interviews. The results showed that members of the al-Kindy community experienced Indonesian morphological interference in word formation, merging/compounding, repetition/reduplication. Meanwhile, Indonesian syntactical interference occurs in: adding sentence elements, errors (sentence elements, sentence location, phrase formation), and missing sentence elements. The factors of the interference are bilingualism, vocabulary mastery, motivation, and psychology of speakers towards the Arabic used. Interference has implications for barriers and challenges in Arabic language learning. The barriers are in the intensity of language interference phenomena, so the language quality is stagnant, and the challenges are to make interference phenomena as motivation for learners to evaluate the language learning process better
Perioperative changes of FGF23 in patients undergoing surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism
Authors: Fořtová Magdaléna , Hanousková Lenka , Valkus Martin , Čepová Jana , Průša Richard , Kotaška Karel
Published: December 2021

Background

Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a key regulator of urine phosphate excretion. The aim of the study was to investigate the perioperative (intraoperative and postoperative) changes of plasma intact and C-terminal FGF23 (iFGF23, cFGF23) concentrations in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) submitted to surgery.

Materials and methods

The study involved 38 adult patients with pHPT caused by adenoma. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were investigated intraoperatively (just before the incision and 10 min after adenoma excision). cFGF23, iFGF23, phosphate, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and procollagen type 1 N-terminal propetide (P1NP) were measured intraoperatively and postoperatively (next day after the surgery).

Results

PTH levels decreased intraoperatively (13.10 pmol/L vs 4.17 pmol/L, P< 0.0001). FGF23 levels measured intraoperatively were at the upper level of reference interval. cFGF23 decreased postoperatively compared with the values measured just before the incision (cFGF23: 89.17 RU/mL vs 22.23 RU/mL, P< 0.0001). iFGF23 decreased as well, but the postoperative values were low. Postoperative inorganic phosphate values increased (1.03 mmol/L vs 0.8 mmol/L, P= 0.0025). We proved significant negative correlation of perioperative FGF23 with inorganic phosphate (cFGF23: Spearman’s r = −0.253, P= 0.0065; iFGF23: Spearman’s r = −0.245, P= 0.0085). We also found that FGF23 values just before incision correlated with eGFR (cystatin C) (cFGF23: Spearman’s r = −0.499, P= 0.0014; iFGF23: Spearman’s r = −0.413, P= 0.01).

Conclusion

Intraoperative iFGF23 and cFGF23 did not change despite PTH decreased significantly. cFGF23 and iFGF23 significantly decreased 1 day after parathyroidectomy and are associated with increase of inorganic phosphate in pHPT patients. cFGF23 and iFGF23 just before incision correlated with eGFR (cystatin C). Similar results found in both iFGF23 and cFGF23 suggest that each could substitute the other.

Authors: Saiem Al-Dahr Mohammed H.
Published: December 2021

Background: Asthma is a chronic conducting airway disorder which characterized by reversible airway inflammation and obstruction. However, prevalence of some pulmonary disorders as bronchial asthma is increased with Vitamin D deficiency. Objective: The target of this study is to evaluate the association between status of vitamin D and ventilatory function & asthma control in patients with bronchial asthma in Jeddah area. Material and methods: One hundred Saudi patients with asthma of both sex; their age mean was 35.18±6.27 year were selected on referral to Internal Medicine Department, King Abdulaziz University Teaching Hospital, Saudi Arabia. Asthma was diagnosed by spirometry tests. Criteria for asthma diagnosis were in accordance with the Global Strategy for Asthma Management and Prevention (GINA 2016). Exclusion criteria included patients with renal, cardiac and liver diseases. All participants will be free to withdraw from the study at any time. Following pre-training testing, participants were enrolled in three groups according to 25-OHD levels: vitamin D deficiency group (A) 25-OHD level <20ng/ml, vitamin D deficiency group (B) 25-OHD level=20–30 ng/ml and normal vitamin D group(C) 25-OHD level >30ng/ml. Results: There was significant higher values of FVC, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in group (C) compared to subgroup (A) and group (B) in addition to lower values of asthma control test in subgroup (C) compared to group (A) and group (B). While there was significant difference between groups. Moreover, the 25-OHD showed a strong direct relationship with FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC and asthma control test in the three groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: There is a close direct relationship between level of vitamin D, ventilatory function and asthma control in patients with bronchial asthma.
Cold atmospheric plasma risk assessment: stem cells
Authors: Jamshidi R. , Hajizadeh K.
Published: December 2021

Regarding the fact that cell shape indicates cell health and is of particular importance in the evaluation of new therapies, in this study, stem cell deformation during Atmospheric Pressure Plasma (APP) treatment was investigated. Given that, cell deformation is a warning of cell damage, it is therefore expected that APP-based therapy, a new modern technology that is expanding worldwide, will not lead to the deformation of normal cells. Here, the stem cells exposed to Helium-fed jet plasma, with two di erent powers of 15 and 25W. Moreover, the duration of exposure was changed (30, 50, 70, and 90 seconds) to determine the most appropriate exposure time and voltage, which maintains stem cells’ health condition. First of all, it was found that cold plasma at low power does not change the shape and elongation of stem cells. Besides, it was found that if the power of a cold plasma source is 25W, it will raise cell growth rate. In this paper, the gas ow rate of the helium plasma jet was set to 3.9 liters per minute, and a plasma source frequency of 30kHz was selected.
A rare case of bilateral optic neuritis and acute disseminated encephalomyelitis post mycoplasma pneumoniae infection
Authors: Y Kentab Amal
Published: December 2021

A case of a 4-year-old boy who developed acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) and optic neuritis (ON) following Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection is reported. His symptoms, including excessive sleepiness, frontal headache, bilateral vision impairment, retro-auricular pain and unbalanced gait, were resolved after methylprednisolone pulse therapy, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) and ciprofloxacin. Cerebrospinal fluid myelin basic protein (MBP) and Mycoplasma serology IgM were detected in our patient. This is the first report of a child with ADEM and ON associated with mastoditis caused by M. pneumoniae infection. Combined immunomodulatory therapy (pulse steroids and immunoglobulin) with anti- mycoplasma microbial therapy resulted in favorable visual recovery. Bilateral isolated optic neuritis as the first presenting feature in childhood ADEM is rare and requires proper evaluation and early therapeutic management. This case highlights the need for physician awareness of the association of mycoplasma infection with optic neuritis and ADEM.

Authors: Ali Marwa Rashad , Abdel - Aziz Mohamed Emad- El deen
Published: December 2021

The calyx removing of Physalis peruviana  fruits for production of fresh cut fruit makes its shelf life shorter. So, Aloe vera gel (AV) used as edible film and coating for increasing the fruit shelf life of fresh cut Physalis fruit. The physical parameter of prepared AV films was investigated such as: Thickness, water vapor permeability (WVP) and water solubility. The current study evaluates the effect of AV film and coating for maintain the Physalis peruviana fruits without calyx at 5±1°C and 95 % RH for 30 days. AV gel film was effective in controlling the fungal decay. which recorded the lowest value (4%) and reduced deterioration in all other physicochemical properties of Physalis fruit comparing with control. This study showed that the AV gel could be suitable for producing an edible film and coating with good physical characteristics such as low WVP (0.0037g/m2.h.mmHg). AV's low WVP appeared to have a great impact on maintaining post-harvest quality especially reducing the percentage of weight loss of coated fruit during storage.

Sound Ties, ‘Rising from the Depths of Brine and Regions of Fire Deeper Still’
Authors: Abels Birgit
Published: December 2021

Pacific Indigenous scholars have long emphasized the role of relationality for Pacific Islanders’ epistemologies. In this article, the author rethinks music in terms of the procedural knowledge inherent in and specific to popular music-making by exploring the latter as knowledge practices in Micronesia. This approach opens new vistas on the relationality at the heart of Western Pacific music-making. The author calls the musical manifestation of that relational capacity sound ties, suggesting that if, following Epeli Hau‘ofa, Oceania is “humanity rising from the depths of brine”, then it is not least the sound ties of knowing in and through music that mould that very humanity of people who are at home with the sea into aquapelagic assemblages that are, after all, so much more than water and land.

Vocalizations of European Honey Buzzards (Pernis apivorus) in Southern Africa
Authors: Branfield Andy
Published: December 2021

Contrary to some sources, the European Honey Buzzard is not silent in Africa. This study documents 51 records of the species vocalizing on the continent. Vocalizations were given by birds apparently encountered alone (n=30) and when accompanied by another European Honey Buzzard (n=22). Where age was known, 11 calling birds were adults and ten were juveniles. Where details were available, most calls were given by birds in flight (n=30), with 11 from perched birds and two from birds heard calling while both in flight and perched. In most cases the sex of the bird was not recorded (n=42) and young birds (first- and second-years) are difficult to sex with certainty; of the remainder, two were males and nine were females. Most calls were the typical flight call of the species (n=43), with apparent alarm calls (n=7) the next most frequent call type. Most calls were delivered in flight (n=31), 19 by single birds and 12 by two birds together in flight. The calling by two birds was associated with flight displays similar to those described on the breeding grounds and occurred especially in late summer (December onwards; 25/40 records). A relatively high proportion of calls occurred during interactions between two European Honey Buzzards (n=18). Calling associated with two birds together and accompanied by aerial displays has not been described in Africa before, and is suggestive of either early pairing of the adult birds prior to migration or breeding activity locally in Africa. Vocalizations between young birds though may be more social as opposed to sexual in nature. The large (5X) increase in records of European Honey Buzzards in South Africa in recent years likely increases the chances of conspecific interaction. It also raises the possibility of breeding, especially in more-temperate South Africa.
Influence of the Nonaxisymmetric Dark Halo Shape on Galaxies Outer Spiral Pattern Morphology

Published: December 2021

The results of numerical simulations of a gaseous galactic disk rotating in an external nonaxisymmetric potential of a dark halo are presented in the article. Analysis of two models of a nonaxisymmetric dark halo, in which a gaseous galactic disk rotates, has been carried out.
In the first case, the halo is nonaxisymmetric within the optical radius of the disk, where the bulk of the visible matter of the galaxy is located, including the stellar disk. The model is ineffective for the external long-lived spiral structure formation in the disk periphery due to the nonaxisymmetry of dark halo.
In the second series of calculations, we have employed the model with a symmetric halo inside the optical radius and a non-axisymmetric one outside of it. The results of the simulations confirm that nonaxisymmetry in the halo matter distribution is effectively generating the global spiral pattern at the periphery of the galaxy. One may observe such spiral structures in some galaxies, mainly in the ultraviolet range. Analysis of various model parameters has showed that the value of parameter " is the primary characteristic affecting the morphology of the forming spiral pattern. This value determines the degree of nonaxisymmetry of the halo. The Le parameter introduced in this work and responsible for the formation of small-scale structures in the transition region does not significantly affect the disk periphery. Moreover, the larger the value of Le, the smoother spirals are formed.
As it has shown in this work the size of the computational grid does not significantly influence on the simulation results, revealing only small-scale structures which are not the subject of current work.

Bu tespit ve analizlerde kültürel, tarihsel ve dönemsel şartların yanında kilise babalarının şahsi özelliklerinin kilise kavramının tanımlanmasında ne denli etkili olduğu açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
Financialisation and the slowdown of labour productivity in Portugal: A post-Keynesian approach
Authors: Correia Diogo , Barradas Ricardo
Published: December 2021

The aim of this paper is to conduct a time series econometric analysis in order to empirically evaluate the role of financialisation in the slowdown of labour productivity in Portugal during the period from 1980 to 2017. During that time, the Portuguese economy faced a financialisation phenomenon due to the European integration process and the corresponding imposition of a strong wave of privatisation, liberalisation and deregulation of the Portuguese financial system. At the same time, Portuguese labour productivity exhibited a sustained downward trend, which seems to contradict the well-entrenched mainstream hypothesis on the finance–productivity nexus. Based on the post-Keynesian literature, we identify four channels through which the phenomenon of financialisation has impaired labour productivity, namely weak economic performance, the fall in labour’s share of income, the rise of inequality in personal income and an intensification of the degree of financialisation. The paper finds that lagged labour productivity, economic performance and labour income share positively impact labour productivity in Portugal, while personal income inequality and the degree of financialisation negatively impact labour productivity in Portugal. The paper also finds that the main triggers for the slowdown of labour productivity in Portugal are the degree of financialisation and personal income inequality over the last decades.
The family choice of a non-state kindergarten to build educational and cultural capital
Authors: Proshkova Zoya
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the reasons behind the choice of non-state preschool education for children by the families of St. Petersburg. The subject area relevance is associated with the need to study family investments in the educational and cultural capital of the younger generation. The main research questions are the advantages of non-state kindergartens education, the influence of the received educational and cultural resources on the further educational path of a person, the relevance of digital methods for collecting sociological information.
In the empirical part of the study, we studied the parents' statements on an Internet forum, where the motives behind choosing non-state kindergartens in St. Petersburg were discussed. In addition, an available sociological results analysis and statistical data were used, and expert judgments on the development of the private preschool education sphere in Russia were collected on the Internet.
The author presents a parental arguments classification in favor of non-state kindergartens education, developed based on the materials analysis from an Internet forum. The content classification of the unstructured text array was conducted using domestic specialized computer programs.
It was found that the main motive for the family choice of non-state preschool education in St. Petersburg is the parents' desire to provide their children with high-quality educational capital. Previously, the most significant reason for preschoolers to turn to private education was the need to place a child at the age of two months in a day nursery. Other advantages of studying in a non-state kindergarten are considered by parents to be an individual approach to children with special needs, care for the student's health, and high-level equipment in private preschool educational institutions. An important condition for choosing a commercial kindergarten is a sufficient family income. Parents see cultural capital as a supplement to the educational resource they receive at an early age, and they also associate education in a private kindergarten with the choice of specialized schools and the high academic performance of the child in primary grades.
Research perspective — search and methodological understanding of sociology digital methods to study the long-term effects of the early education stage.
BRENTANO ON SCIENTIFIC PHILOSOPHY AND POSITIVISM*
Authors: Curvello Flávio Vieira
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT In this paper, I analyze Brentano’s fourth habilitation thesis, according to which the philosophical method should be none other than the natural scientific one. The meaning of this thesis can be initially assessed through an examination of Brentano’s views on the relationship between natural and human sciences. His arguments for methodological unity in this debate show that he actually argues for an overarching idea of scientific knowledge, which is not restricted to the fields already recognized as scientific, but which can also be applied to philosophical domain. A fuller comprehension of that idea is provided by Brentano’s writings on Comte’s positivism.

Abstract This study evaluated the vertical misfit, passivity, and stress distribution after tightening the screws of different prosthesis. Two implants were used to simulate the rehabilitation of partially edentulous mandible space from the second premolar to the second molar. 40 three-element screw-retained fixed dental prosthesis with distal cantilever were fabricated and divided into four groups according to the method of production of framework (n = 10): G1 = conventional casting one-piece framework, G2 = conventional casting sectioned and laser welding, G3 = conventional casting sectioned and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding and G4 = framework obtained by CAD/CAM (computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing) system. The vertical misfits (both screws tightened) and the passive fit (one screw tightened) were measured under a comparator optical microscope. The data was submitted to Shapiro-Wilk test to enable comparison with ANOVA followed by Tukey with Bonferroni adjust (α = .05). The qualitative analysis of the stress distribution was performed by the photoelastic method. The vertical misfit (both screws tightened) of the G2 (24 μm) and G3 (27 μm) were significantly higher than G4 (10 μm) (p = 0,006). The passive fit (for the non-tightened) of the G1(64 μm) and G3 (61 μm) were significantly higher than the G4 (32 μm) (p=0,009). G1 showed high stress between the implants in the photoelastic analysis and G4 presented lower stress. In conclusion, CAD/CAM method results in less vertical misfit, more passivity, and consequently better stress distribution to the bone.

Abstract This in vitro study aimed to evaluate the gaps length and depth of cure of dual-cure bulk-fill resin composites inserted in box-shaped preparations. Box-shaped preparations (4 mm deep) were made in fifteen human third-molars and divided into three groups according to the resin composites (n=5): Dual-cure bulk-fill BulkEZ (BEZ); Dual-cure bulk-fill HyperFIL (HF); and Tetric Evoceram Bulk-fill (TETRIC), as control. Gaps length (%) was evaluated in tooth-restoration interface with micro-computed tomography (µCT). The restorations were sectioned, and the degree of conversion (DC) and Knoop microhardness were evaluated at five depths (0.3, 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm). Microhardness data were statistically evaluated using absolute values (KHN) and relative values (microhardness percentages in relation to top). Gaps length (%) increased in the following order: BEZ=TETRIC<HF. The microhardness percentages in relation to top significantly decreased from 2 mm for TETRIC and 3 mm for HF. BEZ had constant microhardness and DC at all depths, while HF and TETRIC presented a significant decrease on DC at 4 mm. Dual-cure bulk-fill composites did not reduce gaps compared to light-cure bulk-fill, but they can improve depth of cure of bulk-filled restorations.

ABSTRACT This essay is a reflection on the interconnection of the Covid-19 pandemic, social inequality, food insecurity and obesity in the global scenario. The pandemic health crisis is bound to an economic and social crisis marked by an increase in unemployment and a decrease in income with a consequent growth of food and nutritional insecurity. The impacts are felt worldwide, although the situation in each country, with regard to the conditions of social inequality and access to food, influences the magnitude of the pandemic consequences. At the same time, we are aware that food and nutritional insecurity is associated with low food quality and higher rates of obesity, which impairs the immune response and predisposes to worse prognosis. Thus, more economically vulnerable populations must face poorer disease outcome, besides the worsening of the economic situation and food and nutritional insecurity and the increase in obesity rates.

Abstract The objective of this article is to prioritize sites of environmental importance in Brazil, according to their need for protection or conservation. For this, a methodology was applied in the sites that presented geographical overlap or proximity between protected areas and ethnic communities were selected to be evaluated taking into account criteria that define their ecological, social and cultural importance, such as: area of influence, integrated areas, anthropic pressure, species conservation status, Ramsar sites, hotspot, biosphere reserve, IBA and KBA sites, natural heritage, status of recognition and relationship between indigenous lands and quilombos, historical value, archaeological sites and cultural heritage. As a result, 1651 sites were identified, 249 were selected and evaluated, obtaining 14 with high, 91 medium and 144 low priority. With this information, the objective is to generate technical support that serves as an input for the generation of public policies aimed at its protection and conservation.
“Not just useless bush”: food culture and spontaneous plants in the Jequitinhonha Valley, Minas Gerais/Brazil

Published: December 2021

Abstract Food knowledge and practices in the Jequitinhonha Valley are the result of its socio-biodiversity and suffer the impacts of the food homogenization process. This study aims to characterize the food social space and the role of spontaneous plant species in the community of São João da Chapada in Diamantina (Minas Gerais/Brazil) and thereby contribute to strengthening food culture in rural communities. With a qualitative and quantitative approach and participant observation, semi-structured interviews, ethno-botanical walks and culinary demonstrations were performed. Thematic content analysis and descriptive statistics show that the local food social space management is the work of women and has a strong territorial bond. 78 species of spontaneous food plants were identified. They play both nutritional and symbolic roles and are in the culinary culture albeit knowledge of them is greater than their effective use.

Published: December 2021

Resumo Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar os possíveis impactos da experiência da dança e suas relações com a saúde em praticantes não profissionais. Para isso, foi realizado um estudo etnográfico, desenvolvido com 14 voluntários de ambos o sexo, numa faixa etária de 34 a 70 anos que frequentavam aulas de dança na cidade de São Paulo. As ferramentas de coletas de dados consistiram em observação participante e entrevistas semiestruturadas, com objetivo de contextualizar e dimensionar o estudo de campo e os sujeitos pesquisados, bem como a análise da experiência da dança. A análise dos dados foi realizada por categorias não apriorísticas. Como resultado, foi possível encontrar quatro categorias de análise dos impactos da experiência da dança na saúde dos voluntários: terapêutica, física/estética, expressão/criação e sociabilidade. Assim conclui-se que a pratica de dança proporcionou experiência em diferentes aspectos, demonstrando ir além de uma simples atividade física voltada a benefícios estéticos e funcionais, sendo considerada uma prática integradora e mais próxima do entendimento de saúde ampliada.

Published: December 2021

Abstract The adoption of safe practices by health services drives out health harms and preventable deaths at all levels of health care. This study aimed to understand how patient safety actions are organized in the conception of primary health care professionals in a municipality in the state of Bahia. exploratory research, with a qualitative approach, was performed through in person and online interviews with two Nurses and three Dental Surgeons, with broad knowledge of the researched matter and working in traditional primary care and Family Health teams. Data were analyzed through content analysis. It was perceived that knowledge of the researched topic was insufficient and that there was a need for the matter to become part of the teams’ discussion agenda. The reports point out that, in the interviewees’ view, actions related to patient safety are not yet implemented in the researched location. It was identified the need for structuring actions aimed at preventing adverse events and institutionalizing safety in health care.

Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es presentar las múltiples formas de aplicación de las artes y las humanidades en contextos hospitalarios y en la formación profesional en las Facultades de Medicina y Enfermería y un Hospital Universitario de la ciudad de Bogotá-Colombia en el periodo 2008-2018. La caracterización se hizo a partir de métodos cualitativos, interpretativos, con aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas a actores identificados por bola de nieve y auto reporte. También se hizo observación participante en algunos lugares y prácticas. Se indagó sobre los sentidos y usos de las artes y humanidades con relación a la salud y la formación en salud. Los diversos actores asignan sentidos a estas prácticas relacionándolas con una mayor receptividad en el proceso enseñanza aprendizaje, la posibilidad de generar sentido de trascendencia sobre lo que se hace, dar respuesta a preguntas existenciales, proporcionar bienestar a las personas en condiciones de hospitalización y en menor medida a generar bienestar propio o de los profesionales de salud. Su lugar en los contextos explorados aún se percibe como subalterno, y se sostienen en su mayoría a partir de iniciativas individuales y voluntariado. Debe insistirse en su legitimidad para avanzar en su sentido social y emancipador.
