Com deficiência, mulher e refugiada: uma tríade omnileticamente interseccional
Authors: Santos Mônica Pereira dos , Santiago Mylene Cristina
Published: January 2022

Sabe-se que dentre os grupos minoritários, o das pessoas com deficiência é o mais numeroso no mundo (ONU, 2016). Entre a população de refugiados, cerca de 7 a 10% são pessoas com deficiência (NOGUEIRA, 2017). No Brasil, a média de mulheres pleiteantes à condição de refugiadas é relativamente próxima à de homens: 44,75 e 55,23%, respectivamente (SILVA, G. J. et al, 2020). Estes dados garantem às pessoas com deficiência o status de um forte marcador identitário, assim como lhes conferem alto status de representatividade perante outras minorias, os quais, em si mesmos, seriam motivos suficientes para a garantia de políticas públicas favoráveis à inclusão de quaisquer pessoas cujo marcador se iniciasse pela deficiência em todos os níveis educacionais, inclusive o Superior. Contudo, não é assim que a realidade concreta se mostra. Estes números pioram quando as pessoas com deficiência a quem nos referimos são mulheres refugiadas. Com o objetivo de ampliar as discussões que envolvem as pessoas com deficiência para além do marcador “deficiência” em si, este artigo pretende discutir as temáticas cruzadas (interseccionadas) de mulheres refugiadas e com deficiência, revelando e desvelando o interjogo entre culturas, políticas e práticas dialética e complexamente presentes neste quadro interseccional. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório tendo por referencial analítico a perspectiva Omnilética de Santos (2013) e o conceito de interseccionalidade. As perguntas que nos inspiram são: Como a ciência tem tratado esses assuntos? Têm eles sido estudados interseccionalmente? Qual a produção científica já produzida neste sentido? Nossas conclusões apontam para a confirmação de nossas suspeitas no sentido da necessidade de investimento em produção de conhecimento em uma perspectiva interseccional acerca de mulheres refugiadas com deficiência, tendo em vista subsidiar o desenvolvimento e a implementação de políticas públicas que lhes assegurem o direito de uma vida minimamente digna.
O impacto do clientelismo na escolha do voto no contexto do teorema do eleitor mediano
Authors: Froener Carla
Published: January 2022

O presente estudo busca analisar o comportamento racional do eleitor, tendo como base o teorema do eleitor mediano e a possível influência do clientelismo nestas relações. Neste contexto, elaborou-se o seguinte problema de pesquisa: “De que maneira o clientelismo em sociedades desiguais impacta no voto de eleitores no contexto do teorema do eleitor mediano?” Para responder a esta pergunta, utilizou-se como metodologia a revisão bibliográfica, partindo dos estudos de Anthony Downs e passando por outros teóricos de destaque nacional e internacional. De acordo com a literatura pesquisada, verificou-se que as práticas clientelistas são mais comuns entre pobres do que ricos em sociedades desiguais, motivo pelo qual partidos de esquerda que deveriam fazer políticas redistributivas acabam, por vezes, promovendo políticas clientelistas. Observa-se que, ainda que o voto seja secreto, em diversas situações os partidos políticos conseguem monitorar as características dos eleitores individualmente, estabelecendo uma relação de clientelismo contínuo.

MORFOLOGÍA Y SIGNIFICADO DE LA CAMA EN MARCEL PRÉVOST. DEL LECHO CONYUGAL AL CAMASTRO DEL ADULTERIO
Authors: LUENGO LÓPEZ Jordi
Published: January 2022

El erotismo ha sido siempre una constante en la producción literaria de Marcel Prévost. Una sutil exaltación física del deseo que el escritor parisino proyectaba en la narrativa de aquellas escenas y situaciones que recreaba en sus textos. En muchas de ellas, la cama será el centro neurálgico de esa amatoria, generada o contenida, alrededor de la cual las mujeres burguesas tamizaban su existencia en el círculo social al que pertenecían. A lo largo del presente estudio profundizaremos en los significados de la cama, yendo desde la sacralidad del lecho conyugal a los camastros improvisados en lugares ocultos para consumar la infidelidad, concibiéndose este mueble de sueño y ensueño como dual representación física de libertad y sujeción entre los individuos.
Abstract: Despite not being recognised by the literary critics as an erotic writer, Marcel Prévost frequently invokes the heightening of passionate love and the scenes which depict it. In many of them, the bed was the nexus of that ars amatoria, created or contained, around which Bourgeois ladies sifted their existence within the social circle they inhabited. This paper examines in depth the meanings of the bed, from a sacrosanct marital space to a clandestine mise-en-scene to consummate adulterous liaisons, approaching this piece of furniture, created for sleep and dreams, as a dual physical representation of freedom and subjection between individuals.
LA CRÓNICA SIMULTÁNEA: CONSTRUIR EL ACONTECIMIENTO DESDE UNA PERSPECTIVA TEMPORAL
Authors: PORTO LÓPEZ Pablo
Published: January 2022

Las crónicas simultáneas, o live blogs, quebraron una limitación histórica de la prensa escrita al permitir informar sobre un evento mientras sucede. El presente trabajo se propone mostrar que este tipo de crónicas presenta importantes diferencias respecto de las noticias ordinarias, o crónicas retrospectivas, incluso cuando se producen luego del suceso que cubren. La extrema inmediatez respecto de los hechos y la capacidad de publicar actualizaciones periódicas confieren al texto una perspectiva temporal definida por la acumulación de múltiples observaciones parciales sobre su objeto. Esa situación enunciativa inhibe la adopción de una perspectiva de punto final y contribuye a generar un efecto de sentido de noticia en desarrollo, lo que redunda en un modo de construir el acontecimiento más fragmentario en comparación con las noticias tradicionales, y que la asemeja a la cobertura de los medios que emplean la toma directa como la radio y la televisión.
Abstract: Simultaneous reports, or live blogs, overcame a barrier that existed in the written press since its beginnings: they made it possible to inform about an event as it happens. This article postulates that this kind of reports differs significantly from ordinary news pieces, or retrospective reports, even when they are produced after the event they cover. The extreme immediacy of the facts and the capability to post periodic updates provide the text with a temporal perspective defined by the accumulation of multiple partial observations of its object. This enunciative situation inhibits assuming an endpoint perspective and helps generating a strong sense of developing news, which results in a fragmentary construction of the event in comparison with ordinary news, and that is closer to the live coverage of radio and television.
TEATRALIDAD Y MODOS DE REPRESENTACIÓN EN EL MELODRAMA DE RAINER W. FASSBINDER: DE SIRK A ARTAUD
Authors: OLEA ROMACHO Miguel
Published: January 2022

El presente artículo explora el concepto de teatralidad cinematográfica a partir de un análisis de la estética del melodrama y el estudio formal de la obra de uno de los grandes renovadores del género, el director alemán Rainer W. Fassbinder. En concreto, toma como referencia la película Todos nos llamamos Ali (1974) para examinar su recepción del melodrama clásico o sirkiano, demostrando que la filiación teatral del género no se debe simplemente al perfeccionamiento de los valores plásticos de la puesta en escena sino también a la importancia del cuerpo del actor o actriz como entidad de sentido privilegiada, y en el caso de Fassbinder, a la influencia combinada de Brecht y Artaud. El análisis está precedido por una valoración de la idea de teatralidad desde la teoría intermedial, así como de la filiación del melodrama como género con el medio escénico.
Abstract: This article deals with the concept of theatricality in film by studying the aesthetics of melodrama and discussing the work of one of the genre’s most prominent renovators, German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. Particularly, it centers on the film Ali: Fear Eats the Soul (1974) in order to explore its reception of classic or sirkian melodrama, proving that the theatrical nature of the genre is not merely due to the refinement of the plastic values of mise-en-scène and placing, but also to the importance of the performer’s body as a privileged source of meaning, and, in Fassbinder’s works, to the combined influence of Brecht’s and Artaud’s. Our analysis is introduced by a critical examination of the idea of theatricality from the perspective of Intermedial Theory and an exploration of the bonds between performing stage and melodrama as a genre.

MATERNIDADES DISFÓRICAS EN EL POLICIACO TELEVISIVO ESPAÑOL
Authors: LACALLE ZALDUENDO Charo
Published: January 2022

Las representaciones de la maternidad integran un campo de estudio complejo y en ocasiones contradictorio, condicionado como pocos otros ámbitos de lo social por las tendencias político-ideológicas de cada momento histórico. A partir de los años noventa, el postfeminismo se ha venido apropiando de algunos postulados de la tercera ola feminista para proponer una versión idealizada de la buena madre que combina, sin problemas aparentes, el cuidado de sus hijos con su desarrollo profesional. La figura resultante de este modelo neoliberal, de carácter naturalista y esencialista, constituye un horizonte inalcanzable para la mayor parte de las mujeres trabajadoras. Estas madres imperfectas han encontrado en el thriller televisivo el imaginario idóneo donde evidenciar la imposibilidad de la maternidad ideal. La serie Néboa (La1, 2020) ilustra esta tendencia mediante una mirada disfórica sobre el tema, muy crítica con los postulados inasumibles del postfeminismo.
Abstract: The representations of motherhood make up a complex and sometimes contradictory field of study, conditioned like few other areas of the social sphere by the political-ideological tendencies of each historical period. Since the 1990s, post-feminism has been appropriating some tenets of the feminist third wave to propose an idealized version of the good mother that combines, apparently without problems, the care of her children with her professional development. The figure resulting from this neoliberal model, of a naturalistic and essentialist nature, represents an unattainable horizon for the majority of working women. These imperfect mothers have found in the television thriller a fertile imaginary where they show the impossibility of the ideal motherhood. The series Néboa (La1, 2020) illustrates this trend through a dystopian view on the subject, very critical of the post-feminist imaginary.

El concepto de “ludicidad” en el método Kodály: origen, significado y proyección
Authors: Montoya Rubio Juan Carlos
Published: January 2022

El factor lúdico es una de las premisas básicas de los métodos educativos que cambiaron la enseñanza musical desde principios del siglo XX. La práctica totalidad de las aportaciones metodológicas que han tenido éxito en los últimos tiempos han enfatizado, de uno u otro modo, este elemento. El artículo aborda los antecedentes de esta tendencia al juego en el método de Zoltán Kodály, para argumentar que, en su día, la ludicidad tuvo un sentido de ruptura con los modelos anteriores pero que, en el presente, este elemento precisa una nueva mirada.

Los planteamientos lúdicos hunden sus raíces en modelos generalistas que, a su vez, tuvieron como referentes las ideas, entre otros, de Rousseau, Pestalozzi o Froebel. En la pedagogía musical se puede trazar una progresiva adopción de algunas de las nociones de estos pioneros, con Chevais, Jaques-Dalcroze o Montessori amparando esta nueva filosofía educativa.  Analizar algunas de las reflexiones en torno a lo lúdico en Kodály servirá para poner de manifiesto el valor que tuvo en su día y la necesidad de acomodación a la escuela del presente. Consecuentemente, se discute la posibilidad de adaptación lúdica de las estrategias pedagógicas delineadas por el pedagogo húngaro en los actuales contextos educativos. En este sentido, se plantean formas de ajustar los criterios propios de la gamificación a la tradicional ludicidad, explorando posibilidades que pasan, principalmente, por la capacitación de los docentes.
Confluencias entre el objeto y la educación. Análisis de la maleta didáctica como elemento eficaz de diálogo entre la educación formal y no formal
Authors: Gil-Fernández Raquel , Martín-Piñol Carolina , Calderón-Garrido Diego
Published: January 2022

Las maletas didácticas son un recurso pedagógico que ofrecen muchos equipamientos culturales. En este trabajo se realiza un análisis en profundidad sobre sus beneficios y limitaciones, tanto del contenido como del continente. Para ello, se recoge la opinión de un grupo de docentes en formación. Para la consecución de los objetivos propuestos se realizó un estudio basado en encuesta descriptivo de tipo exploratorio transversal cualitativo a través de la aplicación de una ficha de análisis ad hoc. Los resultados fueron procesados y posteriormente analizados con el software de análisis cualitativo Atlas.ti. Entre los resultados se valoraron muy positivamente aspectos como la variedad de materiales y el diseño atractivo y motivador de las maletas. Sin embargo, aún son muchos los elementos desfavorables referidos tanto al continente como al contenido, como, por ejemplo, la portabilidad o la falta de adecuación.
Serge Garant à Paris : parcours d’un crucial apprentissage
Authors: Boivin Jean
Published: January 2022

D’octobre 1951 à mai 1952, Serge Garant séjourne à Paris en compagnie de ses amis Wilfrid Lemoyne et Suzanne Gagnon. Tout en découvrant les trésors culturels de la capitale française, il assiste aux célèbres cours d’analyse donnés par Olivier Messiaen au Conservatoire national supérieur de musique de Paris. Il prend également des leçons d’écriture auprès d’Andrée Vaurabourg-Honegger, l’une des pédagogues les plus respectées de la capitale française. Cette période d’apprentissage sera marquante dans le développement du compositeur, comme en font foi plusieurs lettres et témoignages de Garant, de même que les oeuvres composées durant cette période. Cet article vise à mettre en lumière les points saillants du séjour de Garant à Paris, par exemple la découverte des oeuvres de Messiaen et de Pierre Boulez, et l’impact de cette expérience sur les activités subséquentes du compositeur québécois.
Serge Garant, directeur de la Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (1966-1986)
Authors: Galaise Sophie
Published: January 2022

Serge Garant a été directeur artistique de la Société de musique contemporaine du Québec (SMCQ) pendant 20 ans, soit de 1966 à 1986, année de sa mort. Sous sa direction, cette société de concerts, qu’on qualifie de « doyenne des sociétés de musique actuelle au Canada », a fait oeuvre de pionnière, de partenaire de la création, de propagatrice et d’éducatrice. C’est grâce à un travail soutenu et une passion indéfectible, que Serge Garant, aidé des musiciens, de l’équipe administrative et des différents membres du conseil d’administration, a pu faire de la SMCQ un organisme de premier plan pour la promotion de la création au Québec. L’auteure retrace ici les grands moments de la société à l’ère de Serge Garant.
La musique au fil de la presse québécoise dans les belles années du régime anglais
Authors: Poirier Lucien
Published: January 2022

L’auteur effectue un survol des pratiques musicales décrites dans la presse québécoise entre 1764 et 1824. Afin de conférer à ces données un relief et un cadre historique qui manquent dans la presse, il les rattache à la trame historique du Bas-Canada, telle que présentée dans l’ouvrage intitulé Histoire générale du Canada, dirigé par Craig Brown. L’apport de chaque groupe (Allemands, Écossais, Irlandais, Américains, Anglais, Canadiens, Amérindiens) à la vie culturelle du Québec d’alors est évalué, ainsi que le degré d’appartenance des individus à leur ethnie d’origine. L’auteur démontre de quelle manière les fondements de la vie musicale québécoise ont été établis à cette époque et de quelle manière les attitudes alors forgées par les francophones et les anglophones se sont perpétuées jusqu’à assez près de nous. Il s’agit d’une reconstitution (réalisée par Simon Couture) de la dernière conférence donnée par Lucien Poirier, au début de 1995.
La musique dans les rues de la Nouvelle-France
Authors: Gallat-Morin Élisabeth
Published: January 2022

Au temps de la Nouvelle-France, les rues de Québec et de Montréal ne sont pas dépourvues de sons musicaux; les sources de l’époque permettent d’en recréer l’ambiance sonore. Les compagnies militaires en garnison dans les villes ont toutes fifres et tambours pour accompagner diverses célébrations. Les proclamations officielles, lues après la messe paroissiale du dimanche, sont annoncées au son du tambour. L’année est ponctuée de fêtes religieuses qui, à la belle saison, sont soulignées par des processions donnant lieu à de véritables réjouissances populaires accompagnées de chants et d’instruments, du son des canons et de décharges d’artillerie avec parfois des conséquences catastrophiques. Des documents conservés à Montréal indiquent le trajet exact des processions à travers la ville et la musique chantée à chaque station.
Lettre posthume de Conrad de Michel Longtin : aspects formels, narratifs et épiphaniques
Authors: Caron Sylvain
Published: January 2022

La plus récente composition de Michel Longtin, Lettre posthume de Conrad (2000), constitue une véritable symphonie à programme. Au départ, le contenu strictement musical s’articule avec une cohérence qui lui permet d’exister indépendamment du texte, grâce notamment à la récurrence et la transformation de motifs. Bien entendu, la valeur narrative de la musique par rapport au texte est un élément souhaité par le compositeur, puisque la lettre à la base de l’oeuvre a été inscrite dans le programme de concert. Toutefois, le sens véritable de l’oeuvre ne peut être atteint que par une compréhension approfondie du texte et de la musique. Par essence, l’oeuvre est de nature épiphanique puisqu’elle vise la manifestation de valeurs transcendantes.
Le chant liturgique au Québec après Vatican II
Authors: Caron Sylvain
Published: January 2022

Depuis la promulgation de la Constitution du la sainte liturgie en décembre 1963, lors du Concile de Vatican II, la musique liturgique a subi des transformations qui comptent parmi les plus importantes de l’histoire du catholicisme. Au Québec, les changements ont été d’autant plus marqués qu’ils ont coïncidé avec les bouleversements de la Révolution tranquille. Dans cet article, l’auteur propose une réflexion en plusieurs volets sur ces changements, en partant d’abord de deux courants musico-liturgiques qui prévalaient dans les années 1950, et qui sont symbolisés par le Motu proprio de Pie X et le recueil des 300 cantiques. Il procède ensuite à une périodisation des différentes phases de développement du chant post-conciliaire. C’est à la lumière de ces considérations que l’on peut faire une relecture objective de l’article lapidaire rédigé par Pierre Lapalme, au sujet de la musique choisie lors de la visite du pape au Canada en 1984. Ultimement, cette réflexion soulève la question de l’essence du chant liturgique : est-il aussi immuable que le laissait croire le Motu proprio en 1903 ?
Mlle Aimée : étude sur la vie et l’image d’une actrice française à l’étranger au XIXème siècle
Authors: Polleti Daniel
Published: January 2022

Dans cet article, nous abordons la biographie de la comédienne française Mlle Aimée (Célestine Marie Aimée Tronchon, 1845?–87). Elle fut un personnage central dans la diffusion du répertoire d’Offenbach et de l’opérette française à l’étranger, surtout au Brésil et en Amérique du Nord, au cours de la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle. L’étude de sa vie et de son image permet ainsi d’éclairer quelques aspects de la mondialisation de la culture et de la suprématie du théâtre français à l’époque.

Ecthyma gangrenosum in a patient with febrile pancytopenia
Authors: Mrabat Samia , Baybay Hanane , Dassouly Ryme , Douhi Zakia , Elloudi Sara , Mernissi Fatima Zahra
Published: January 2022

Ecthyma gangrenosum (EG) is a cutaneous infection most commonly associated with Pseudomonas bacteremia and usually occurring in immunocompromised patients [1]. The infection progresses sequentially from a maculopapular rash to hemorrhagic bullae, then to necrotic ulcerations with surrounding erythema [2]. Herein, we report a case of ecthyma gangrenosum in an immunologically compromised patient. A 65-year-old female was admitted to the oncohematology department for febrile pancytopenia. Blood work revealed severe thrombocytopenia at 15,000/mm³), an absolute neutrophil count of 180 cells/mm³, and anemia. A sternal bone marrow puncture found 15% of plasma cells. Four days after the admission, the patient had a painful, quickly extending lesion on the abdomen. She described erythema that progressed to pustules, then ulcerations. On general clinical evaluation, the patient was feverish at 40°C. A dermatological examination revealed the presence of a 6 cm purpuric patch on the left flank with a central necrotic eschar (Fig. 1). The diagnosis of ecthyma gangrenosum was reached and the patient was treated with ceftazidime and vancomycin. Unfortunately, having gone into septic shock, the patient died one week later.
Uncommon sublingual ulceration in an infant
Authors: Oukerroum Abdelhakim , Elfatoiki Fatima Zahra , Hali Fouzia , Slimani Faical , Chiheb Soumiya
Published: January 2022

Sir, An eight-month-old girl was referred to our department with an extensive lingual ulceration. The parents noted that she had habitually bitten her tongue since the release of her first teeth at the age of six months. She was a poor feeder and did not sleep well because of the painful lingual ulceration. There was no family history of developmental disorders or congenital syndromes. Intraoral examination revealed a deep, circular, and extensive ulceration of the whole ventral surface of the tongue with intermittent bleeding in the tongue (Figs. 1a – c). An examination of the rest of the intraoral mucosa revealed that the lower central incisors had recently erupted. However, there were two other ulcerations of the palmar surface of the second and third fingers caused by nocturnal finger biting. Neurological examination noted a lack of pain sensitivity related to peripheral neuropathy diagnosed as congenital insensitivity to pain. Based on the clinical features and the particular site on the ventral surface of the tongue against the lower central incisors and ulcerative lesions of the fingers due to self-biting, the lesion was diagnosed as Riga–Fede disease. Because of the size of the ulceration, significant pain during feeding led to inadequate nutrient intake associated with permanent sleep disturbances. Radical treatment was chosen and the lower central incisors were extracted. Topical corticosteroids were prescribed to help with healing. The term Riga–Fede disease has been used to describe a traumatic ulceration that has occurred on the ventral surface of the tongue in newborn babies and infants. It is most commonly related to neonatal or natal teeth but may also occur in infants after the eruption of the primary lower incisors [1]. This benign ulceration occurs as a result of repetitive mechanical trauma caused to the oral mucosal surfaces by the teeth and is most commonly located on the ventral surface of the tongue against the teeth [1,2]. Riga–Fede disease may reveal an underlying developmental or neurologic disorder, including congenital insensitivities to pain [3]. The case of our patient was associated with congenital insensitivity to pain. Failure to diagnose may lead to dehydration and inadequate nutrient intake in the infant because of the significant pain during feeding. No biopsy is needed. The diagnosis of Riga–Fede disease is based on clinical characteristics [1,2]. Treatment should focus on eliminating the source of trauma. Conservative treatment is attempted at first by grinding the sharp edges of the teeth and placing composite resin in a dome shape or by placing a protective ring. If conservative treatment fails to heal the wounds, radical treatment may be necessary, such as extraction of the teeth [2,3]. We believe that Riga–Fede disease must be recognized by clinicians to avoid misdiagnosis and delayed treatment.
Penile porokeratosis mimicking annular lichen planus
Authors: Trinh Ngo Binh , Tran Giang Huong , Hieu Hoang Trung
Published: January 2022

Sir, Porokeratosis is a group of cutaneous diseases presented by epidermal keratinization [1]. Herein, we report the case of a patient with porokeratosis who responded well to carbon dioxide (CO2) laser therapy. A 22-year-old Vietnamese male visited our department with an asymptomatic plaque on the penis present for three months. He denied a family history of similar lesions. A cutaneous examination of the penis revealed an annular, well-circumscribed plaque with slightly raised borders with scales (Fig. 1a). Other mucocutaneous lesions were absent. Fungal microscopy, a rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test, and a Treponema pallidum hemagglutination (TPHA) test were negative. Histological findings revealed a hyperkeratotic lesion with a discrete parakeratotic column. There was the presence of a cornoid lamella, which was a parakeratotic column overlying a small vertical zone of dyskeratotic and vacuolated cells within the epidermis (Fig. 2a). There was also a focal loss of the granular layer. A mild lymphocytic infiltrate could be seen around an increased number of capillaries in the underlying dermis (Fig. 2b). CO2 laser removal was performed. There was no recurrence after a twelve-month follow-up (Fig. 1b). However, a hypopigmented scar was seen. Porokeratosis is an uncommon disorder of keratinization with clinical variants, such as classical porokeratosis of Mibelli, disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, linear porokeratosis, and porokeratosis palmaris et plantaris disseminata [2]. Porokeratosis involving the genital areas and other adjacent sites is rare [2]. Genital porokeratosis was first described by Helfman in 1985 [3]. More than 69 cases have been reported in the literature [1]. The pathophysiology of genital porokeratosis remains unknown. It has been supposed that porokeratosis is linked to repeated minor frictional trauma. A benign lesion may transform into squamous cell carcinoma or basal cell carcinoma [4]. However, no malignant transformation of genital porokeratosis has been noted in the literature. Genital porokeratosis manifests itself clinically as classic or plaque-type porokeratosis of Mibelli [2]. Histological findings revealed a cornoid lamella with the absence of a granular layer and dyskeratotic cells in the upper spinous zone [2]. Our case may mimic some annular lesions, such as secondary syphilis, fungal infection, and annular lichen planus. Because a fungal examination and syphilis serology were negative, we could exclude fungal infection and annular secondary syphilis. The distinctive histology of porokeratosis such as a cornoid lamella with a decreased granular layer may help to differentiate between porokeratosis and annular lichen planus [4]. Numerous therapeutic methods of treatment exist, including surgical excision, CO2 laser, cryotherapy, topical retinoids, 5% 5-fluorouracil, vitamin D3 analogs, imiquimod cream, and 3% diclofenac gel [2,5].

Published: January 2022

Ada banyak faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi pembatasan sosial terhadap penurunan jumlah kasus Covid-19 di 27 Kota dan Kabupaten di Provinsi Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari pembatasan sosial dan variabel ekonomi terhadap pandemi Covid-19 di Provinsi Jawa Barat. Penelitian ini menggunakan beberapa data yang bersumber dari Pusat Informasi & Koordinasi Covid-19 Provinsi Jawa Barat, dan Badan Pusat Statistik Provinsi Jawa Barat. Variabel terikat pada penelitian ini adalah rata-rata penambahan kasus harian Covid-19. Sedangkan, variabel bebas pada penelitian ini adalah dummy pembatasan sosial, kepadatan penduduk, PDRB per kapita, tingkat pendidikan, tingkat mobilitas, tingkat pengangguran, jumlah tenaga kesehatan, persentase penduduk miskin, dan angka harapan hidup. Semua data tersebut dikumpulkan dalam periode antara 2 Maret 2020 hingga 2 Maret 2021 yang terdiri dari 17 periode berdasarkan Surat Keputusan Gubernur Jawa Barat. Analisis data panel dengan pendekatan Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS) diterapkan dengan menggunakan perangkat lunak Stata MP-64. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pembatasan sosial, kepadatan penduduk, tingkat pengangguran, dan jumlah tenaga kesehatan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap penurunan kasus Covid-19 di Provinsi Jawa Barat. PDRB per kapita berpengaruh positif terhadap penurunan kasus Covid-19, namun tidak signifikan. Tingkat pendidikan, tingkat mobilitas, persentase penduduk miskin, dan angka harapan hidup berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap penurunan kasus Covid-19 di Provinsi Jawa Barat. Oleh karena itu, pembatasan sosial merupakan kebijakan yang tepat guna menurunkan pandemi Covid-19 di Provinsi Jawa Barat.
Analisis Efisiensi Relatif di Unit Pelaksana Teknis Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan Tahun 2019
Authors: Widyastuti Pantri , Nurwahyuni Atik
Published: January 2022

Tantangan pengawasan obat dan makanan mengharuskan Unit Pelaksana Teknis (UPT) BPOM bekerja optimal di tengah keterbatasan sumber daya. Analisis efisiensi relatif pada Unit Pelaksana Teknis BPOM tahun 2019 dilakukan bertujuan untuk perbaikan dalam perencanaan, penganggaran, dan kebijakan strategis BPOM dalam upaya peningkatan capaian kinerja pada masing-masing UPT. Perhitungan efisiensi relatif menggunakan metode DEA (Data envelopment Analysis). Penelitian ini menggunakan mixed method dengan desain penelitian cross sectional. Sampel penelitian adalah 31 UPT BPOM yang memenuhi syarat sebagai DMU (Decision Making Unit) dan menggunakan 3 input dan 4 output yang diuji dengan metode DEA. Terdapat 10 informan dalam analisis kualitatif untuk mengetahui strategi dalam pencapaian efisiensi UPT. Hasil dari analisis terdapat 15 UPT yang efisien dan 16 UPT yang tidak efisien. Hasil wawancara diketahui bahwa UPT yang efisien dan yang tidak efisien telah melaksanakan strategi efisiensi internal dengan baik. DEA merupakan analisis efisiensi relatif dengan konsep memaksimalkan rasio output dan input. Penggunaan model VRS (Variabel return to Scale) yang mempertimbangkan proses, diharapkan mengeliminasi kekurangan yang terdapat dalam perhitungan dengan DEA. Perhitungan DEA dilakukan secara mekanik, maka diperlukan pendalaman proses untuk menggali faktor efisiensi yang tidak didapatkan dari perhitungan DEA, terlebih untuk organisasi yang dalam prosesnya melibatkan faktor eksternal yang cukup besar.
Uafgørlighedsdidaktik i litteraturundervisningen
Authors: Johansen Martin Blok
Published: January 2022

Med afsæt i to praksisbilleder analyseres og diskuteres potentialet i uafgørligheder, når de optræder i skolens litteraturundervisning. Det gøres gennem et fokus på uafgørligheder i spændingsfeltet mellem teksten, eleverne og læreren. Til det formål udarbejdes en didaktisk tretrinsraket, der indeholder uafgørligheders ontologi, uafgørligheders typologi og uafgørligheders modus – altså hvad er uafgørligheder, hvordan kan de inddeles, og hvordan kan de gøres? Formålet er at nærme sig konstruktionen af en egentlig uafgørlighedsdiaktik, hvor pointen er, at hvis potentialet i uafgørligheder skal forløses, så skal alle klasserummets aktanter være indstillet på det: Teksten skal indeholde uafgørligheder, læreren skal turde bruge dem, og eleverne skal have en modtagelighed overfor dem.
Humor på alvor i litteraturundervisninga med «Anekdote» av Herman Wildenvey
Authors: Røskeland Marianne
Published: January 2022

Artikkelen ønsker å undersøke kva ein kan få ut av å vektlegge humor i tekstar i litteraturundervisninga. Utgangspunktet er ulike inngangar til diktet «Anekdote» (1911) av Herman Wildenvey, og framstillinga er inspirert av diskusjonar med studentar i lærarutdanninga om humoren i diktet. Sentrale spørsmål er mellom anna om diktet er morosamt, kva eller kven ein i så fall ler av, og kva ein kan få ut av det i litteraturundervisninga. Dette blir diskutert i lys av ulike humorteoriar. Artikkelen søker å få fram korleis ulike tilnærmingar til humoren i diktet kan generere ulike lesemåtar og tolkingar. Særleg interessante er spørsmåla om kva verdiar og haldningar diktet kan målbere, og kva rolle humoren spelar i så måte. Humor har ulike funksjonar og er ikkje alltid kontrollerbar, men er ofte knytt til språkets fleirtydige karakter. Artikkelen argumenterer til slutt for å gi rom for refleksjon omkring humor i litteraturundervisninga i lærarutdanning og skule.
Den umulige kommunikasjonen i Lene Asks "Det du ikke sier, er sant"
Authors: Christensen Sofija
Published: January 2022

Lene Asks roman Det du ikke sier, er sant (2017) handler om Kamran, en gutt i ungdomsskolealder som tyr til løgn når han ikke er sikker på hva han skal si. Romanen handler om hvordan protagonisten gradvis gjør språket til sitt og blir et autonomt handlende subjekt i kommunikasjon med andre. Både romanens hovedperson, og tema og måten temaet behandles på, gjør at dette er en bok som vil kunne appellere til unge lesere. Den tar opp språk, sannhet og løgn på en måte som inviterer leseren til å kritisk granske egne oppfatninger, særlig gjennom de eksplisitte koblingene til Henrik Ibsens Peer Gynt. Til en viss grad kan romanen sies å være et eksempel på såkalte komplekse eller utfordrende tekster. Artikkelen argumenterer for at den egner seg til bruk i utforskende litteraturundervisning. I artikkelen vil jeg også vise at det kan formuleres minst tre forskjellige hypoteser om romanens tittel, og at disse hypotesene gir hver sin inngang til lesingen av romanens beskrivelse av hvordan Kamran gradvis overvinner problemene sine med kommunikasjon og språk.
Konceptuelle metaforer som selektionskriterium for Dansk litteraturs kanon - med fokus på elevers literacytilegnelse på tværs af tidsrum, sprog og kultur i arbejdet med kanonlitteratur
Authors: Kaasby Mia
Published: January 2022

This article argues that an increased focus on the inherent conceptual metaphors of chronotopes in canonical literature may contribute to students’ awareness of the historical and literary development in time and space. Thus, expanding their literacy-skills acquisition in comparison to the linear chronological periodization, author-portrait and text reading that typically characterize the reading of canon literature. Furthermore, the article argues that an increased focus on bi- and multilingual students’ interpretation of conceptual metaphors may contribute to the historical and literary development.
Omveien hjem. "Hans og Grete" i klasserommet
Authors: Gaasland Rolf
Published: January 2022

Artikkelen argumenterer for verdien av å arbeide hermeneutisk på en metodisk måte med litterære tekster i klasserommet. Den baserer seg på overbevisningen om at det å gjøre seg lydhør overfor et annet menneskes tankeverden er verdifullt i seg selv og dessuten at tolkningsarbeidet er uløselig forbundet med dyder som selvarbeid og selverkjennelse. Artikkelen er delt i tre hoveddeler. Først gir den et eksempel på hvordan en tolkning av folkeeventyret «Hans og Grete» kan se ut når den sikter mot å realisere Hans-Georg Gadamers forestilling om metodisk bevissthet. Deretter utdypes Gadamers forestilling om metodisk bevissthet før artikkelen til slutt presenterer og anbefaler en tolkningsmetodikk laget for å kunne hjelpe elever/studenter til å realisere forestillingen om en metodisk bevissthet i arbeidet med litterære tekster.

Published: January 2022

Oncocytoma is a rare epithelial tumour composed of oncocytes which are epithelial cells with excessive amount of mitochondria. The tumour is most often benign, and diagnosis can be made on the basis of histopathological examination. Here, the authors present a 64-year-old female patient, with complaints of abdominal discomfort and flank pain, along with history of loss of weight and appetite for one month. Radiology showed a left renal mass of measuring 9×7×4.5 cm involving the upper and middle pole suggestive of malignancy. Following which radical nephrectomy was done. Examination of gross specimen showed a fairly circumscribed brownish lesion in the upper and middle pole of left kidney measuring 8.8×7×4.5 cm with a central scar. There was no evidence of hilar and perirenal fat invasion. Histology showed sheets of large polygonal eosinophilic cells with centrally placed nucleus. The differentials were eosinophilic variant of clear cell renal cell carcinoma, chromophobe renal cell carcinoma and oncocytoma. A panel of Immunohistochemical (IHC) markers was performed for further categorisation and the lesional cells were positive for CD 117 and negative for CD 7 and CD 10. This ruled out the differentials and confirmed oncocytoma, thus ruling out the necessity for chemotherapy.

Introduction: Breast carcinoma demands attention as it causes high morbidity and mortality. It is important to recognise benign lesions to distinguish them from in situ and invasive breast cancer and to assess a patient’s risk of developing breast cancer, so that the most appropriate treatment modality for each case can be established. The p63 has been characterised as a reliable marker of myoepithelial cells of lactiferous duct. It is exclusively expressed in myoepithelial cells of normal breast tissue. Hence, p63 can be of great help in the differential diagnosis involving benign lesions. Also, p63 may aid in distinguishing benign from malignant lesions. Aim: To study the Immunohistochemistry (IHC) expression of p63 in benign and malignant breast lesions. Materials and Methods: The prospective study was conducted on 76 breast specimens for a period of one year, from 1st December 2018 to 30th November 2019 in the Department of Pathology, Bhagat Phool Singh, Government Medical College for Women, Khanpur Kalan, Sonepat, Haryana, India. IHC assessment for p63 nuclear protein was performed. The intensity of p63 expression was evaluated as continuous positive, discontinuous positive and negative. The extent was scored on the basis of percentage of positive cells and assigned a score of negative (0%), 1 (<25%), 2 (26-90%) and 3 (91-100%). Results: Out of 76 cases, 38 cases were diagnosed as benign and 38 cases as malignant. IHC staining with p63 showed nuclear positivity in all benign lesions. Among malignant lesions, four were positive and 34 were negative. Conclusion: According to the above results, p63 is a very useful IHC marker in diagnosing difficult cases, cases of carcinoma in situ, borderline cases and cases with inconclusive histomorphological diagnosis.

Introduction: High expression of Human Epidermal growth factor Receptor 2 (HER2) is a predictive biomarker for the treatment of gastric carcinomas with targeted agents. Targeted therapy could improve the outcome of patients with gastric carcinoma overexpressing HER2. There is limited information on mucosal biopsies to characterise the HER2 expression status of a tumour. Aim: To study HER2 expression by Immunohistochemistry (IHC) in matched mucosal biopsies and surgical specimens in patients with gastric adenocarcinoma and to discover the level of concordance. Materials and Methods: This was a prospective observational study conducted in the Department of Pathology, Christian Medical College, Vellore, Tamil Nadu, India, for one year (1st July 2016 to 30th June 2017). The IHC for HER2 was performed on matched mucosal biopsies and corresponding gastrectomy specimens of 72 patients. The HER2 overexpression (HER2+) was defined by a score 3+ on IHC. The results were analysed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software and Chi-square test was done for statistical significance. Results: The overall HER2 positivity rate was 11.11% (8/72). The HER2 positive rates (score 3+) were 9.72% on biopsy (7/72) and 8.33% on resection (6/72). Five cases showed concordance of HER2 between mucosal biopsies and resection specimens, however the other three cases showed a discordance i.e., two mucosal biopsies showed HER2 positivity and one resection showed HER2 positivity. The concordance rate in this study was 95.83% between resection and mucosal biopsies. Among the eight HER2 positive cases, five cases showed good concordance. One case showed positive shift: HER2 score was 0 on the mucosal biopsy and HER2 score was 3+ on the resection. Two cases showed a negative shift: mucosal biopsy showed HER2 score 3+ and the resection HER2 score 0. All the three discordant cases had received Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy (NACT) and showed heterogeneous staining on the resection specimen. None of the five concordant cases had received NACT and three of the five resections showed heterogeneous staining pattern. Conclusion: To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this was the first study to compare HER2 expression in gastric adenocarcinoma in matched biopsies and the corresponding resections in India. There was concordance of HER2 expression in 69 cases and discordance in three. Differences between biopsy and resection HER2 expression could be explained by intra-tumoural heterogeneity and possibly by decreased HER2 expression after NACT. The HER2 analysis by IHC on both mucosal biopsy and resections could optimise the selection of trastuzumab-eligible patients in case of gastric adenocarcinoma.
The Importance of Capital Investment and Debt Financing in Deriving Shareholders’ Value; A Literature Survey
Authors: Hanif Muzammil , Alifiah Mohd Norfian
Published: January 2022

Shareholders’ value is the most important goal and an integral part of the companies’ strategic decision-making process. When a corporate performs well and creates value for its shareholders, it benefits the whole economy. The past studies concluded that efficient decision making in the areas of capital investments and debt financing can ensure high financial performance and shareholders’ value creation. This paper thoroughly reviews the literature on impact of capital investment and debt financing decisions on shareholders’ value. Capital investment is a very important managerial decision because it increases company's economic profit. However, past studies have found that not every time the capital investment results in increasing the value as it may vary with the level of investment. Moreover, debt financing lowers the free cash flows due to the payment of fixed interest payments, thus lowering shareholders' return and value. Therefore, this paper recommends the need of further research to better understand the effect of capital investment and debt financing decisions on shareholders’ value.
