Published: February 2025

The persistence of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) on substrates, and the impact of fomites on Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) transmission, is until now, widely discussed. Consequently, further investigations are required for a correct risk assessment in high-risk facilities such as hospitals, healthcare facilities (HCFs), and long-term care facilities (LTCFs). Therefore, appropriate surveillance and disinfection programs represent the best approach to guarantee the safety of these communities. This study proposes an environmental SARS-CoV-2 surfaces routine monitoring approach in HCF and communities’ settings, to provide rapid and effective evaluation of surface hygienic conditions and the effectiveness of applied sanitization measures. Surfaces samples (n = 118) were collected using the SRK® kit (Copan Italia) from 2020 to 2023. Three molecular techniques were compared: Reverse Transcription Loop mediated isothermal AMPlification (RT-LAMP, Enbiotech), Reverse-Transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) (RT-qPCR, Seegene) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR, Bio-Rad). For ddPCR, two RNA extraction methods were compared: TRIzol LS (Invitrogen) versus QIAmp Viral Mini kit (QIAGEN), showing how the latter is more suitable for surfaces. Regarding the quantitative ddPCR results, the ROC analysis allowed to reduce the manufacturer cut-off for droplets number (from 3 to 1) for the positive samples. Moreover, a new cut-off for the viral RNA copies’ number/μL for each target (N1 and N2) on environmental monitoring was fixed at 2,82. The results obtained using the QIAmp kit, suggested that the N2 target is more stable in the environment and could be most suitable for the virus environmental detection. The percentage of positive samples was similar among the techniques (26% for RT-LAMP, 36% for ddPCR and 23% for RT-qPCR). Using RT-qPCR as reference method, a sensitivity (SE) of 30% for RT-LAMP and 41% for ddPCR was observed. By contrast, specificity (SP) was higher for RT-LAMP (75%) respect to ddPCR (66%). Comparing the faster RT-LAMP with the sensitive ddPCR the 26% and 74% of SE and SP for RT-LAMP, were reported. The low sensitivity for RT-LAMP and ddPCR could be explained with the use of clinical rather than environmental kits, other than the changing in the virus prevalence during the sampling campaign. Although the RT-LAMP requires improvements in term of SE and SP, this research presents an innovative environmental monitoring and prevention method for SARS-CoV-2, that could be extended to other pathogens that are under environmental surveillance.
Multi-level high utility-itemset hiding

Published: February 2025

Privacy is as a critical issue in the age of data. Organizations and corporations who publicly share their data always have a major concern that their sensitive information may be leaked or extracted by rivals or attackers using data miners. High-utility itemset mining (HUIM) is an extension to frequent itemset mining (FIM) which deals with business data in the form of transaction databases, data that is also in danger of being stolen. To deal with this, a number of privacy-preserving data mining (PPDM) techniques have been introduced. An important topic in PPDM in the recent years is privacy-preserving utility mining (PPUM). The goal of PPUM is to protect the sensitive information, such as sensitive high-utility itemsets, in transaction databases, and make them undiscoverable for data mining techniques. However, available PPUM methods do not consider the generalization of items in databases (categories, classes, groups, etc.). These algorithms only consider the items at a specialized level, leaving the item combinations at a higher level vulnerable to attacks. The insights gained from higher abstraction levels are somewhat more valuable than those from lower levels since they contain the outlines of the data. To address this issue, this work suggests two PPUM algorithms, namely MLHProtector and FMLHProtector, to operate at all abstraction levels in a transaction database to protect them from data mining algorithms. Empirical experiments showed that both algorithms successfully protect the itemsets from being compromised by attackers.
Structure in transition: The role of structure in facilitating workplace efficacy and belonging for military veterans and civilians
Authors: Gibbs W. Connor , Ortosky Lauren , MacLean Alair , Kay Aaron C. , Sherman David K.
Published: February 2025

Employment transitions necessitate a degree of uncertainty and lack of control, which may present a challenge to succeeding and belonging at a new organization. The present research tests ideas derived from compensatory control theory which posits that people may seek external structure to help exert control over their lives when they experience a lack of control in an important life domain – and that this can aid in their goal pursuit. Across three studies, we explore whether the perception of a higher degree of organizational structure can help employees compensate for uncertainty and lack of control and facilitate transitioning employees’ occupation self-efficacy and sense of belonging in a new work environment. This research focuses on military veterans, who face significant challenges during their separation from military service and transition to civilian employment, as an exemplar of the people experiencing employment transitions more generally, and compares them (in two studies) with civilian participants. Across three studies, two using simple correlational methods, one using an experimental methodology with veterans and civilians, we find consistent evidence that when transitioning employees perceive greater structure at their organization, this facilitates increased feelings of occupational self-efficacy which, in turn, promotes greater feelings of belonging at work. When people perceive greater structure in their environment, people feel more efficacious and a greater sense that they belong at work. The results are discussed in the context of compensatory control theory, addressing the challenges of transitioning employees, and in particular, transitioning military veterans.

Background and aim

Artificial intelligence (AI)-powered chatbots, such as Chat Generative Pretrained Transformer (ChatGPT), have shown promising results in healthcare settings. These tools can help patients obtain real-time responses to queries, ensuring immediate access to relevant information. The study aimed to explore the potential use of ChatGPT-generated medical Arabic responses for patients with metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Methods

An English patient questionnaire on MASLD was translated to Arabic. The Arabic questions were then entered into ChatGPT 3.5 on November 12, 2023. The responses were evaluated for accuracy, completeness, and comprehensibility by 10 Saudi MASLD experts who were native Arabic speakers. Likert scales were used to evaluate: 1) Accuracy, 2) Completeness, and 3) Comprehensibility. The questions were grouped into 3 domains: (1) Specialist referral, (2) Lifestyle, and (3) Physical activity.

Results

Accuracy mean score was 4.9 ± 0.94 on a 6-point Likert scale corresponding to “Nearly all correct.” Kendall’s coefficient of concordance (KCC) ranged from 0.025 to 0.649, with a mean of 0.28, indicating moderate agreement between all 10 experts. Mean completeness score was 2.4 ± 0.53 on a 3-point Likert scale corresponding to “Comprehensive” (KCC: 0.03–0.553; mean: 0.22). Comprehensibility mean score was 2.74 ± 0.52 on a 3-point Likert scale, which indicates the responses were “Easy to understand” (KCC: 0.00–0.447; mean: 0.25).

Conclusion

MASLD experts found that ChatGPT responses were accurate, complete, and comprehensible. The results support the increasing trend of leveraging the power of AI chatbots to revolutionize the dissemination of information for patients with MASLD. However, many AI-powered chatbots require further enhancement of scientific content to avoid the risks of circulating medical misinformation.
Adaptive wavelet base selection for deep learning-based ECG diagnosis: A reinforcement learning approach
Authors: Xiao Qiao , Wang Chaofeng
Published: February 2025

Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are crucial in diagnosing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). While wavelet-based feature extraction has demonstrated effectiveness in deep learning (DL)-based ECG diagnosis, selecting the optimal wavelet base poses a significant challenge, as it directly influences feature quality and diagnostic accuracy. Traditional methods typically rely on fixed wavelet bases chosen heuristically or through trial-and-error, which can fail to cover the distinct characteristics of individual ECG signals, leading to suboptimal performance. To address this limitation, we propose a reinforcement learning-based wavelet base selection (RLWBS) framework that dynamically customizes the wavelet base for each ECG signal. In this framework, a reinforcement learning (RL) agent iteratively optimizes its wavelet base selection (WBS) strategy based on successive feedback of classification performance, aiming to achieve progressively optimized feature extraction. Experiments conducted on the clinically collected PTB-XL dataset for ECG abnormality classification show that the proposed RLWBS framework could obtain more detailed time-frequency representation of ECG signals, yielding enhanced diagnostic performance compared to traditional WBS approaches.

Background

Low- and middle-income countries experience higher burn-related morbidity and mortality compared to high-income countries. Prehospital Burn First Aid (BFA) improves outcomes. We assessed BFA knowledge and water lavage practices and their associated factors among burn victims, caregivers, and visitors at a tertiary health facility in Uganda.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted at the Burns Unit of Kiruddu National Referral Hospital in Kampala between 1st April 2022 and 30th November 2022. Participants included burn patients, caregivers, and hospital visitors. Data on BFA knowledge and practices were collected using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. BFA knowledge was evaluated using 13 questions, with a ≥80% score considered adequate. Logistic regression was used to assess for associations.

Results

We enrolled 404 participants, comprising 68 (16.8%) burn victims, 161(39.9%) primary caregivers, and 175 (43.3%) hospital visitors. Overall, 339 (83.9%) participants had never received BFA information, and 392 (97.0%) had no first aid training. The mean BFA knowledge score was 56±13.9%, with only 5.4% of the participants demonstrating adequate knowledge. Only 26 (27.7%) of current and former burn victims used water lavage as BFA. No statistically significant associations were found between BFA knowledge, water lavage usage, and demographic variables at univariable and multivariable binary logistic regression analyses.

Conclusion

We highlight inadequate BFA knowledge and practices among victims of burns, their caregivers, and the general population. Addressing these deficiencies through community-based initiatives is crucial to improving burn care in Uganda.

The advanced molecular tools provide critical inputs in uncovering the regulatory mechanisms underlying plants’ adaptation to abiotic stress. Presented holistic studies were done on the barley crown tissue being essential for plant performance under various environmental stimuli. To investigate the effect of brassinosteroids (BRs), the known players in stress management, on molecular response of this tissue to drought, the genotypes with different BRs signal transduction efficiency were employed. Large-scale transcriptomic and proteomic profiling confirmed the specific re-modeling of behavior of the BRs-insensitive barley uzu1.a mutant under drought. On the other hand, a set of genes expressed independently of the genotype was identified, including dehydrin encoding genes. This study also uncovered the candidate genes to be linkers of phytohormones crosstalk. Importantly, we detected the converging upregulation of several proteins and encoding genes under drought, including late embryogenesis abundant proteins and chaperones; they represent a promising target for cereals’ improvement. Moreover, the greatest variation between genotypes in accumulation of BRs in the crown tissue exposed to drought was observed for castasterone. Presented multi-omics, high-throughput results enhanced the understanding of molecular response to drought in crown tissue. The new insight was provided into the relationships between gene expression, protein and phytohormone content in barley plants of different BRs signaling.
Link between bilaterality and type 2 inflammation in respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartomas: A two-center retrospective cohort study
Authors: Heo Yujin , Hong Sang Duk , Kim Hyo Yeol , Ryu Gwanghui , Kwon Kyung Won , Jung Yong Gi
Published: February 2025

Background

Sinonasal respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartomas (REAH) are rare benign lesions with diverse clinical characteristics. Their pathogenesis remains unclear, with hypotheses suggesting either an inflammatory process or neoplastic origin. Despite their clinical heterogeneity, a formal subtype classification is lacking. This study analyzes the clinical features of surgically treated sinonasal REAH and investigates disease characteristics based on bilaterality, particularly in relation to type 2 chronic rhinosinusitis.

Methods

This retrospective analysis included patients with REAH who underwent endoscopic surgery and received pathological confirmation between November 2008 and November 2023. Demographic data, including asthma history, prior sinus surgeries, serum eosinophil levels, and the Japanese Epidemiological Survey of Refractory Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis (JESREC) score, were analyzed in relation to REAH bilaterality.

Results

Among 21 patients (17 males, 4 females; mean age 46.5 years), 11 cases (52.4%) exhibited bilateral origins (REAH_bi) in the superior nasal septum and olfactory cleft, while 10 cases (47.6%) presented as isolated unilateral lesions (REAH_uni). REAH_bi was significantly associated with asthma (p = 0.012), prior sinus surgery (p = 0.002), and inflammatory polyposis (p = 0.002) compared to REAH_uni. Elevated preoperative serum eosinophil levels and JESREC scores were also noted in REAH_bi cases (p = 0.021 and <0.001, respectively). Neither group showed recurrence during a mean follow-up of 11.91 months.

Conclusion

Bilaterally originating REAH in the superior nasal septum and olfactory cleft demonstrates pronounced type 2 inflammatory characteristics, suggesting potential differences in pathogenesis compared to unilateral REAH. These findings underscore the need for further investigation into REAH pathophysiology and emphasize the importance of bilaterality in clinical assessment.

Neutrophils are critical for host defense against fungi. However, the short life span and lack of genetic tractability of primary human neutrophils has limited in vitro analysis of neutrophil-fungal interactions. Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neutrophils (iNeutrophils) provide a genetically tractable system to study host defense responses of human neutrophils. Here, we show that deletion of the transcription factor GATA1 from human iPSCs results in iNeutrophils with improved antifungal activity against Aspergillus fumigatus. GATA1-knockout (KO) iNeutrophils have increased maturation, antifungal pattern recognition receptor expression and have improved neutrophil effector functions compared to wild-type iNeutrophils. iNeutrophils also show a shift in their metabolism following stimulation with fungal β-glucan to the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), similar to primary human neutrophils. Furthermore, we show that deletion of the integrin CD18 attenuates the ability of GATA1-KO iNeutrophils to kill A. fumigatus but is not necessary for the metabolic shift. Collectively, these findings support iNeutrophils as a robust system to study human neutrophil antifungal immunity and has identified specific roles for CD18 in the defense response.
On being a student of media ecology

A revised version of a keynote address presented at the First Media Ecology Association Student Symposium held online on 3 February 2024, this article represents a reflection on the role of education within the media ecology intellectual tradition. Whether we are teaching others or teaching ourselves, we are media, mediating between past and future, ignorance and knowledge and ourselves and the world that we inhabit. Within the field of media ecology, the question of how is paramount, how we relate to and influence our environment and others and how we study and learn and teach.
Media ecology and the modern invention of race
Authors: Eisenhuth Ryan J.
Published: February 2025

In Achieving Our Humanity, Emmanuel Chukwudi Eze describes the philosophical thinking underlying the modern invention of race but pays little attention to the media environment of the modern world. Media Ecologists assume people think in patterns that reflect the way they communicate among themselves; thus, an understanding of the modern invention of race cannot be separated from the communication technologies of modernity. In this article, I seek to build on Eze’s argument by discussing the role of the media environment in shaping the modern invention of race. By putting postcolonial scholarship in conversation with media ecology scholarship, I discuss the process of racial othering through the lens of several crucial communication media – including technologies of travel, printed books, maps and education systems – to conclude that the media environment of the modern age played an active role in shaping the process of racial othering that led to the modern invention of race.
Content creation ecology: The challenges of small- and medium-scale content production in the digital era
Authors: Nacucchio Victoria
Published: February 2025

New content distribution technologies in the twenty-first century were well received by independent producers, as they embraced the idea that new technologies could reverse media concentration. However, participatory and democratizing utopias were limited to user-generated content platforms, while professional content aggregators maintained traditional industrial practices. Considering media ecology theory and the economic ecosystems framework, I describe four creative ecosystems in the audio-visual industry and analyse the impact of different collaboration models between content aggregators and production companies. I conclude that collaboration models proposed by professional OTT content aggregators pose challenges for production companies that derive their profits from creativity, intellectual property development and content production services, especially those operating independently on a small and medium scale.
Unveiling dystopian realities: Exploring parallels between Orwell, Huxley and McLuhan
Authors: Mejía Claros Primavera de Castro Carolina
Published: February 2025

As we stand on the precipice of the future, it becomes increasingly evident that the dystopian landscapes depicted in George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World are not mere works of fiction but cautionary tales reflecting our reality. In this reflective abstract, we dive into the parallels between these literary classics and our present reality, shedding light on how we are unwittingly slipping into the brave new world envisioned by Huxley. Building upon Marshall McLuhan’s profound analysis of media and technology in Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man, this article delves into the subtle yet impactful ways society is transitioning towards a dystopian future. It explores four key themes from McLuhan’s work – extensions of man, Narcissus theory, phases of humanity and global village – and examines their relevance to our evolving world and emerging technologies.

Why is that which is revered or feared is given a form? Is it because fear of the unknowable and invisible can seem like an abyss, and manifesting it to form perhaps makes it finite? Or perhaps it brings some solace and gives courage to encounter it? Artists Venkat Shyam from Madhya Pradesh and Anil Vangad from Maharashtra, India, attempt to give a form to fear of the corona virus and perhaps anger to make peace with their observations.
Memorias trans: género, orientalismo, anarquismo e islam en Isabelle Eberhardt y Leda Rafanelli
Authors: Galián Hernández Laura
Published: February 2025

El objetivo de este trabajo es problematizar el anarquismo transnacional de finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX –estudiado principalmente desde un prima masculino y occidental– con el fin de priorizar una mirada de género y poscolonial. Para ello, indagamos en la vida y la obra de dos intelectuales anarquistas europeas: la sueca Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) y la italiana Leda Rafanelli (1880-1971). Ambas escritoras recorrieron diversas geografías del sur del Mediterráneo y plasmaron estas experiencias en sus memorias y escritos. En aquellos reflejaron sus inquietudes respecto a la injusticia social, el colonialismo, el Islam, el anarquismo y el género, cuestiones en las que mostraron posiciones, en ocasiones, ambivalentes. Nuestro objetivo es realizar un estudio prosopográfico y literario a través de la lectura de sus memorias y obras literarias. Concretamente, Diarios de una nómada apasionada (Eberhardt 2018 [1923]), País de arena. Relatos argelinos (Eberhardt, 1989 [1914]), Memorie d’una chiromante (Rafanelli, 2010) y L’Oasi: Romanzo arabo (Rafanelli 2017). Todo ello con el fin de entender las intersecciones entre anarquismo, islam, orientalismo y género durante la pasada centuria, en lo que consideramos como un recorrido trans, tanto en lo narrativo –la idea de que sus memorias están entre la ficción y la autobiografía –como lo transnacional– por sus periplos por el Mediterráneo, y su mirada fluida y transfronteriza en su posicionamiento ideológico, anarquista y libertario– y, finalmente, respecto a su relación con la religión y las cuestiones de género que permean sus trayectorias vitales y su obra literaria.

Az értekezés ember és növény kapcsolatrendszerét vizsgálja a kortárs angolszász fantasyben, és a következő két hipotézisre alapoz. Először is arra, hogy a mitikus fantasyben mint műfajban ott a lehetőség, hogy ökocentrikusabb szövegeket és világokat hozzon létre azáltal, hogy rávilágít, milyen módokon akadályoz minket az emberközpontú megközelítés a nem emberi létezők megértésében. Másodszor pedig arra, hogy a brit fantasyszerző, Robert Holdstock (1948–2009) regényeiben megjelenő Mitágó-erdő egy olyan öko-filozófiai konstrukció, amely azáltal, hogy ágenciával ruházza fel a növényi létformát, arra késztet minket, hogy újragondoljuk ember és természet kapcsolatát. A két nagy egységre osztott értekezés első része a fantasyirodalom különböző elméleteire és kurrens, kritikai növénytani megközelítésekre alapozva kialakít egy olyan módszertani keretet, amely lehetővé teszi a fantasyszövegek növényfókuszú elemzését. Az értekezés második fele ennek a módszertani keretnek a gyakorlati alkalmazását mutatja be a Robert Holdstock Mitágó-ciklusához tartozó regény- és novellaszövegek elemzésén keresztül. A hat elemző fejezet egy-egy hívószó köré rendeződik, amelyek egyben a növényekkel való kapcsolódásunk különböző szempontjait is jelölik: identitás, test, felnövéstörténet, idő, tér, mítosz. Az értekezés fő célja, hogy egy olyan szövegelemzési módszert mutasson be, amelynek segítségével az olvasó képes lehet legyőzni a saját emberközpontú gondolkodásából fakadó növényvakságát. Ennek érdekében az értekezés összeállít egy ún. növényláthatósági eszközkészletet (plant-visibility strategies), amely nyolc olyan módszertani eljárást foglal magában, amelyek segítenek fókuszba hozni a növényeket a kortárs fantasyszövegek elemzése, értelmezése során.

A disszertáció az összehasonlító irodalom- és kultúratudomány szellemében egy hazánkban egyre nagyobb figyelmet kapó, ámbár még kibontakozásra váró szegmensre, a game studies-ra fókuszál. A játékkutatásnak/játéktudománynak is fordítható game studies-on belül legfőképp azt vizsgálom, hogy a videójátékok hogyan elemezhetők az irodalom- és filmtudomány eszköztárával, miközben szem előtt tartom a sajátos mediális jegyeiket is. Milyen szerepet játszhat a történet és a szöveg egy alapvetően interaktív (cselekvés-orientált) platformon? Mi teszi a videójátékokat egyedülálló médiummá? Kutatásaim során azt tapasztaltam, hogy bizonyos esetekben hiányzik a megfelelő terminus, amely hiányt a disszertáció igyekszik feloldani. Olyan fogalmakat javaslok, mint történetjátszás, zéró narratíva és történetközpontú játékok, járulékos és nélkülözhetetlen elemek, valamint irányított fokalizáló. A disszertáció azon irodalmi művek elemzését is tartalmazza, amelyek vagy tartalmi vagy formai szempontból merítenek a videójátékok eszköztárából.
Women’s Writing in the Middle East

Published: February 2025

A gyarmatosított országokban élő harmadik világbeli nőket általában úgy ábrázolják, mint akik képtelenek a maguk érdekében felszólalni, érzelmeiket, jelenlétüket, történelmüket képviselni. Ennek megfelelően a közel-keleti irodalomban a nőábrázolást a patriarchális kontroll képei hatják át, a nőket tárgyként, anyaként vagy a szülőföldet, a termékenységet és a nagylelkűséget jelképező szimbólumként reprezentálják. A férfi írók elbeszélései uralkodó narratívaként dominálnak, a nőket az írott történelemből kizárt mesélő szerepébe taszítják. Következésképpen a disszertáció a közel-keleti nőkre nehezedő elnyomás szubvertálására irányuló erőfeszítéseket kutatja, a küldetést, hogy láthatóvá tegyék magukat. Az írott diskurzusból való kirekesztettségükre válaszként a közel-keleti nők az önéletrajzi íráshoz fordulnak, mivel ez biztosítja számukra a cselekvőképesség és az önreprezentáció lehetőségét. Ezért a jelen disszertáció a közel-keleti női íróknak a hamis reprezentációs hagyományra adott válaszát a jól ismert palesztin feminista írónő, Sahar Khalifeh irodalmi műveinek elemzésén keresztül vizsgálja, az ő művei jelentik a disszertáció első részének elsődleges témáját. Ezt követően a második rész áttér Khalifeh és Marjane Satrapi iráni írónő önéletrajzi ihletettségű írásainak összehasonlítására, azzal a céllal, hogy kitekintést nyújtson a közel-keleti feminista színtérre és nőábrázolásra a irodalomban, nevezetesen a palesztin és iráni irodalmi termelésben. Az elemzés az igyekszik feltárni, hogy a két írónő milyen különböző elbeszélési formákon keresztül szubvertálja a közel-keleti nőkről alkotott sztereotip képeket. A disszertáció a négy feminista hullám meglátásaira támaszkodik, de a posztkoloniális diskurzus szempontjait is beépíti, hogy a közel-keleti feminista színteret egy hibrid, mind a feminista, mind a posztkoloniális kereteket tartalmazó perspektívából vizsgálja meg.

The promotion of environmental care is essential in the education of higher education students. Globally, the United Nations guarantees the right to a healthy environment, which promotes environmental education and sustainability. This project is aligned with SDG 15 of the 2030 Agenda, which seeks the conservation and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity protection and sustainable management of natural resources. The main objective is to promote and conserve green areas within the TecNM Campus Comalcalco, involving the technological community in creating a plant nursery. The study was carried out at the Institute, where a botanical garden was implemented and dasometric measurements were taken of 144 trees in the green areas of the institution. Students from different careers were involved in the installation of the botanical garden and the propagation of 89 plant species, using techniques such as cuttings, seeds, and seedlings. The creation of the botanical garden involved the entire community of the Institute, and its impact transcended the institution with workshops and plant donations to the local community. Plants were donated to the community at academic events and fairs, promoting environmental awareness beyond the Institute. In terms of the trees sampled, five species of major ecological importance were identified: Tabebuia rosea, Samanea samán, Ceiba pentandra, Persea americana, and Cedrela odorata. The largest trees, such as Samanea samán and Ceiba pentandra, showed the highest amount of biomass and carbon stored, with an average of 12,565.23 Mg. ha-1 of biomass and 6,282.61 MgC.ha-1 of carbon for Samanea samán. The botanical garden is projected as an educational and conservation resource that can be replicated in other educational settings and homes, extending its impact in time and space.

Os estudos teóricos mostram que, para colaborar na constituição autora e leitora da criança, o professor deve primeiramente compreender como se dá o desenvolvimento infantil, as principais atividades da criança em cada idade psicológica na qual se encontra e as atividades pedagógicas que deverá disponibilizar no processo educativo. Educação Infantil é compreendida como um espaço que transcende a visão assistencialista do cuidar, tornando-se um espaço para educar. O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar uma análise sobre a constituição autora e leitora de crianças pequenas segundo a Teoria Histórico-Cultural, em suas relações com o espaço da Educação Infantil. Para a Teoria Histórico-Cultural o sujeito torna-se humano ao se apropriar dos objetos da cultura histórica socialmente construídos. Fundamentamos teoricamente o estudo em autores como Vygotsky, Mukhina e Elkonin. Em Vygotsky, buscamos os princípios da pré-história da linguagem escrita, encontramos os fundamentos da linguagem, desenvolvimento e aprendizagem; Mukhina e Elkonin nos proporcionaram os princípios da atividade objetal e, em Elkonin, e a importância do brincar na aprendizagem infantil. Com base nesses e nos demais autores consultados, buscamos identificar como ocorre a constituição autora e leitora da criança pequena.

Subjetividades...a obscura realidade atrás das grades
Authors: DE AMORIM MARCIENE RITA DA SILVA
Published: February 2025

O trabalho retrata a dinâmica prisional de uma unidade penitenciária feminina no estado de São Paulo nos anos de 2006 a 2017 momento em que as prisioneiras são as protagonistas principais de um mundo em que não é relatado fora das grades e cuja dinâmica é movida pelas especificidades que somente ocorrem naquele ambiente de reclusão. É uma realidade de sofrimento, solidão, desesperança, descaso, criminalidade. As sujetividades humanas se retratam por detrás das tipificações penais e cujas origens ocorrem antes mesmo das prisões. É uma obra de profundo olhar humano e que merede ser lida por todos que trabalham com as ciências humanas e de modo geral a todos que estão engajados por um mundo de mais humanização.
Clínica psicológica e sofrimentos sociais
Authors: Silva Mikelly , Vieira Érico Douglas
Published: February 2025

A clínica psicológica tradicional possui lacunas para a prática clínica com pessoas marginalizadas. A partir de intervenções com Plantão Psicológico com usuários de uma instituição de apoio, buscou-se investigar as manifestações do sofrimento social de ser tratado com descrédito e sem valor. A metodologia qualitativa da Teoria Fundamentada nos dados foi utilizada para a construção de categorias a partir de diários de campo. Como resultado da investigação, foram mapeados diversos sofrimentos advindos da exclusão, relações de poder que rebaixam e incapacitam e algumas formas de enfrentamento e resistência construídas. Os plantonistas buscaram construir interações e intervenções fundamentadas na promoção da dignidade e da autonomia dos usuários, facilitando a manifestação de potencialidades e saberes populares no espaço clínico.
Movimento estudantil
Authors: Beraldo Isabela de Souza , Sinibaldi Barabara
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo faz uma revisão da literatura nacional sobre a temática do movimento estudantil com o objetivo de analisar as publicações encontradas em relação: quantitativa de publicações por ano e área de estudo das publicações. A metodologia aplicada a este estudo contemplou a pesquisa na base da Sientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) com acesso online somente por artigos científicos, utilizando o descritor movimento estudantil. Os resultados apontaram que a temática tem sido investigada por diversos campos e áreas do conhecimento para além da psicologia, porém não apreciando um viés subjetivo da militância, trazendo apenas relatos empíricos. Verificou-se que o descritor utilizado se encontra notavelmente em desuso pelos pesquisadores atuais, o que não possibilitou realizar uma análise mais aprofundada da temática.

Published: February 2025

O presente estudo teve como objetivo identificar como o psicodrama de grupo auxilia na construção dos projetos profissionais dos dependentes químicos e como contribui para que os dependentes químicos experienciem atividades de lazer. Foi realizado um estudo qualitativo, em formato de pesquisa-ação. No total, foram realizadas 7 sessões de psicodrama de grupo, com 6 usuários de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial II Álcool e Outras Drogas, contudo, a pesquisa realizou um recorte de análise de duas sessões, que focaram na temática trabalho e lazer. A análise foi guiada pelos preceitos teóricos e epistemológicos do Psicodrama e da literatura sobre dependência química. Com relação ao trabalho, surgiu a dificuldade de manejar o salário e a necessidade de os participantes assumirem uma postura autônoma para a busca dos projetos profissionais. Identificou-se, também, o psicodrama de grupo como ferramenta para o resgate de recursos inatos para compreensão e superação das conservas culturais que limitavam as experiências de lazer. Cabe ressaltar que a questão financeira também surge como um impedimento do lazer, articulada com a dificuldade de ingressar ou permanecer no ambiente ocupacional.

Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde
Authors: Ruben Calaça Di Menezes Nayara , César Carvalho Nascimento Luan
Published: February 2025

O presente artigo é um relato sobre a experiência vivenciada no programa de Residência Multiprofissional em Saúde. Pretende-se, a partir do presente estudo descrever e discutir sobre as experiências e vivências no cenário hospitalar, com foco na percepção dos residentes em relação à inserção na equipe multiprofissional e a representação do trabalho do psicólogo para os demais profissionais da assistência. Para tanto, realizamos uma breve exposição sobre a entrada da psicologia no hospital e sobre o surgimento do Programa de Residência Multiprofissional, apresentando uma breve contextualização do campo de atuação e a representação sobre o trabalho e atuação do profissional da psicologia frente às demandas hospitalares. A partir do relato sobre a vivência e a reflexão sobre o cotidiano descrito, concluímos que embora a inserção do psicólogo hospitalar ainda se mostre repleta de desafios, a abertura para o diálogo e para o trabalho em equipe é uma das ferramentas disponíveis para promover debates dentro do campo da saúde e potencializar novas formas de trabalho.
Psicopatologia e desmedicalização da existência
Authors: Da Silva Chaves Flávio , Lima do Nascimento Crisóstomo
Published: February 2025

O artigo implementa um olhar crítico sobre o fenômeno contemporâneo psicopatológico que associa o sofrimento psíquico ao processo medicalizante que chamaremos aqui de medicalização da existência. Com uma literatura de base histórico-crítica e fenomenológica intentamos clarificar tal fenômeno apontando o primado do paradigma organicista na psicopatologia contemporânea sustentado pelos Manuais Psicopatológicos alinhados com uma tecnificação que prima pelo resultado rápido dos desatinos existenciais através da medicalização em detrimento dos processos históricos-existenciais. Mediante a revisão de literatura propõem-se refletir, no primeiro momento, acerca da iatrogênese clínica e dos enunciados políticos e econômicos travestidos de cientificidade enquanto eixo epistemológico crítico para uma classificação biologizante da saúde. Em seguida, tendo como parâmetro a psicopatologia inserir os múltiplos olhares sobre o fenômeno demonstrando o caráter multidimensional do adoecimento. Neste sentido, pensadores de base fenomenológica e de cunho histórico-crítico nos guiarão para compreendermos o imperativo da tecnocracia nos modos primordiais de compreensão do binômio saúde-doença e finalizaremos sublinhando o caráter de existencialidade do humano nos sentidos cotidianos enquanto ser sofrente fundamentalmente para os profissionais que lidam com o sofrimento humano.
Aconselhamento psicológico fenomenológico-existencial online como possibilidade de atenção psicológica durante a pandemia de COVID-19
Authors: Evangelista Paulo Eduardo Rodrigues Alves , Cardoso Claudia Lins
Published: February 2025

A pandemia de COVID-19 interrompeu as atividades presenciais em quase todos os Âmbitos de atenção psicológica. Os primeiros estudos sobre impactos psicológicos indicam sofrimentos existenciais como medo e pânico, estigmatização e exclusão e depressão. Busca-se um entendimento deste momento, sob a perspectiva fenomenológico-existencial, como de ruptura com a familiaridade cotidiana, que lança a existência na indeterminação e na busca de modos de reestabilização. Propõe-se, então, o aconselhamento psicológico fenomenológico-existencial como modalidade de atenção psicológica voltada para profilaxia em saúde mental que objetiva maior clareza na situação existencial atualmente vivenciada para dispor de maior liberdade para lida com o novo cotidiano. Como as atividades presenciais estão interrompidas, explora-se o aconselhamento psicológico por ferramentas de comunicação online como alternativa para este momento, recorrendo a literatura que fundamente esta prática.
Desdibujar fronteras

Published: February 2025

En el presente trabajo se busca comprender y explorar la forma en que las artistas contemporáneas en Santa Fe concibieron su propio cuerpo como autobiografía, a través de un vínculo entre su yo íntimo y el compromiso social, entre lo privado/personal y lo público/político. A partir del abordaje de la vida de las artistas, sus trayectorias y en especial, algunas de sus obras: Regurgitar/Libreta de Familia (2019) de Rosana Storti, Cuando todo lo que se puede hacer es pensar que será posible (2008) de Cintia Clara Romero y ¿Cuánto vacío puede llenar un mueble? (2022) de Ariana Beilis, se analiza cómo los cuerpos en las performances autobiográficas de las artistas mujeres santafesinas encarnan las tramas difusas entre lo privado/íntimo y lo público/político.
