Endometriumkarzinom: Wie Uterusmanipulatoren das Outcome in der minimal-invasiven Chirurgie beeinflussen
Authors: Juhasz-Boess Ingolf , Molnar Patrick
Published: November 2021

Background: There are limited data available to indicate whether oncological outcomes might be influenced by the uterine manipulator, which is used at the time of hysterectomy for minimally invasive surgery in patients with endometrial cancer. The current evidence derives from retrospective studies with limited sample sizes. Without substantial evidence to support its use, surgeons are required to make decisions about its use based only on their personal choice and surgical experience. Objective: To evaluate the use of the uterine manipulator on oncological outcomes after minimally invasive surgery, for apparent early-stage endometrial cancer. Study design: We performed a retrospective multicentric study to assess the oncological safety of uterine manipulator use in patients with apparent early-stage endometrial cancer, treated with minimally invasive surgery. The type of manipulator, surgical staging, histology, lymphovascular space invasion, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, adjuvant treatment, recurrence, and pattern of recurrence were evaluated. The primary objective was to determine the relapse rate. The secondary objective was to determine recurrence-free survival, overall survival, and the pattern of recurrence. Results: A total of 2661 women from 15 centers were included; 1756 patients underwent hysterectomy with a uterine manipulator and 905 without it. Both groups were balanced with respect to histology, tumor grade, myometrial invasion, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, and adjuvant therapy. The rate of recurrence was 11.69% in the uterine manipulator group and 7.4% in the no-manipulator group (P<.001). The use of the uterine manipulator was associated with a higher risk of recurrence (hazard ratio, 2.31; 95% confidence interval, 1.27–4.20; P = .006). The use of uterine manipulator in uterus-confined endometrial cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics [FIGO] I-II) was associated with lower disease-free survival (hazard ratio, 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 0.57–0.97; P = .027) and higher risk of death (hazard ratio, 1.74; 95% confidence interval, 1.07–2.83; P = .026). No differences were found regarding the pattern of recurrence between both groups (chi-square statistic, 1.74; P = .63). Conclusion: In this study, the use of a uterine manipulator was associated with a worse oncological outcome in patients with uterus-confined endometrial cancer (International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics I-II) who underwent minimally invasive surgery. Prospective trials are essential to confirm these results.
Artivismo de gênero e mediação sociocultural no manifesto transpofágico de Renata Carvalho
Authors: Meneses Emerson Silva
Published: November 2021

Este artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a função mediadora exercida por artistas travestis no Brasil a partir da cena contemporânea. Para tanto, examina-se o caso do espetáculo teatral Manifesto transpofágico, da atriz Renata Carvalho. A partir da observação in loco do espetáculo, a análise evidencia os elementos de artivismo e mediação sociocultural ali praticados em prol de uma maior aceitação da transgeneridade em uma sociedade ainda marcada pela transfobia e pelo preconceito com a dissidência de gênero.
A urgência de políticas públicas para artistas LGBTQ+ latino-americanos
Authors: Almeida Luiz Roberto de , Cury Lucilene
Published: November 2021

A identidade cisgênero heterossexual é a norma, uma construção social e cultural a partir da qual as demais identidades são hierarquizadas e marginalizadas, deixando os sujeitos LGBTQ+ à mercê de diversas violências. Diante disso, acredita-se que os artistas LGBTQ+ são figuras de referência para a sociedade porque seus trabalhos artísticos apresentam possibilidades de existência de sujeitos cisgêneros homossexuais, trans ou não-binários. Considerando a violência vivenciada por esses sujeitos e a importância do artista na constituição de uma narrativa identitária da comunidade LGBTQ+, é urgente pensar políticas públicas que promovam maior visibilidade desses artistas. Para investigar tal tema, foram entrevistados treze artistas – músicos, atores e uma escritora –, dos quais sete são de Buenos Aires e seis, de São Paulo.
O jornalismo em face da aceleração social do tempo
Authors: Teruel Caio , Prior Helder
Published: November 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo compreender o jornalismo contemporâneo em meio ao fenômeno da aceleração social do tempo, este explorado pelo teórico alemão Hartmut Rosa, por meio de uma inflexão teórico-conceitual. Para isso, delimita-se, em um primeiro momento, algumas das bases da aceleração social do tempo, isto é, as dimensões fenomenológicas da aceleração temporal. Em seguida, investiga-se a função do jornalismo no fenômeno aceleratório, bem como a ascensão do presentismo por meio de aparatos jornalísticos. Por último, busca-se apreender os fenômenos tratados em enunciados políticos de modo empírico por meio de análises e contextualizações.
Possibilidades com o processo criativo nas escolas de dança
Authors: Pinheiro Cristiano Max Pereira , Henz Ilaine Maria , Scarpato Lenice Eli Lunkes
Published: November 2021

A pandemia impactou os setores culturais, tornando importante rever estratégias da gestão cultural nos negócios. A arte vem sendo vista como produção simbólica de válvula de segurança psicológica e, neste estudo, optou-se pelo setor da dança como foco. O objetivo do artigo é compreender como escolas de dança, enquanto produção cultural, atualizam suas práticas e fazeres em conjunto com alunos/professores. Optou-se pela coleta de dados de alunos e professores de uma escola de dança no Rio Grande do Sul por meio de entrevistas. Estas foram submetidas à análise textual discursiva, criando categorias atravessadas pela fundamentação teórica em Indústria e Economia Criativa, Dança e Expressão Cultural. Como resultado, destaca-se que as escolas possuem uma diversidade de dinâmicas, sejam de ensino-aprendizagem ou de produção cultural/artística em prol de um modelo que realize tanto o caráter professor-aluno quanto a busca por uma colocação artística notável, tornando-se uma possibilidade de desenvolvimento de negócios pós-pandemia.
Música e discurso: Uma análise da música Fricote, de Luiz Caldas
Authors: Adão Alessandra Barbosa , Teixeira Gilsária de Jesus
Published: November 2021

O presente artigo faz uma análise discursiva e semântica da questão racial na música Fricote de Luiz Caldas, que integra o axé music. Partindo da Análise do Discurso de base francesa almejamos compreender o que está dito e não-dito, refletir e discutir o teor estético na letra, e ainda trazer um olhar decolonial para o artigo. Como referencial teórico partimos da leitura de Bakhtin, Gomes e Mignolo para observar como o discurso musical pode agir na manutenção do racismo e de ações discriminatórias.
Literatura e música: Marabá (1849), de Gonçalves Dias, e seu reflexo no poema sinfônico homônimo (1898), de Escragnole Dória e Francisco Braga
Authors: Rocha Denise
Published: November 2021

O objetivo principal do estudo é analisar o processo de transposição midiática da representação do lamento da índia mestiça, protagonista do poema literário Marabá (1849), de Gonçalves Dias (1823-1864), no poema sinfônico homônimo (1898), com libreto de Escragnole Dória e música de Francisco Braga. E, o secundário, é apresentar a relação da literatura com a música, que se consolidou na época do Romantismo europeu, no século XIX, com o surgimento desse tipo de poema: um gênero musical, que contempla um programa (matriz poética), e evoca, imita ou sugere elementos sonoros da natureza biológica, estabelecendo um diálogo entre as artes. A presente pesquisa, que destaca as imagens da indígena menosprezada em sua tribo, imersa em socializações subalternizadas durante a colonização portuguesa, será analisada sob a perspectiva da intermedialidade e da intertextualidade, de Rajewsky, e das intersecções entre a literatura e a música (Scher).
Um velho assunto: violência no samba-malandro e na sociedade brasileira
Authors: Sciré Rachel
Published: November 2021

A letra do samba “Baiano Capoeira” (1962), de Geraldo Filme e Jorge Costa, gravado por Germano Mathias, apresenta um embate entre duas figuras de marginalidade de diferentes épocas, em um contexto de valentia. A partir de pontos de intertextualidade literários, sociológicos e históricos é possível traçar relações entre a narrativa cantada e a realidade, dentro de uma abordagem da crítica estética materialista, e pensar sobre a acumulação da violência na sociedade brasileira.
Confundindo para esclarecer: Alguns procedimentos brechtianos em Tom Zé
Authors: Soares Leilor Miranda

Conexões e interações do processo de criação no ensino remoto do design: fluxo e trânsito entre documentos de processo na disciplina Projeto Sentir
Authors: Farias Marcelo José Oliveira de
Published: November 2021

Este artigo busca discutir facetas que estruturam a complexa rede da criação no trânsito entre documentos de processo analógicos e digitais, desenvolvidos no contexto do ensino remoto da disciplina Projeto Sentir do curso de design no Centro Universitário Senac – Santo Amaro, no ano letivo de 2020. Estudo motivado pelos aspectos relacionados ao desenvolvimento do pensamento do aluno, a partir das inquietações que delineiam e nortearam a seguinte questão: Como os documentos de processo de criação em design interagem com as ações dos alunos em suas estratégias processuais criativas em rede, a partir da observação e análise das atividades e experiências de projeto nas aulas remotas? A discussão se dá sob o viés da teoria da crítica de processo de criação, onde o crítico procura entrar na complexidade desse processo. Portanto, estamos tratando de verificar os procedimentos que se estabelecem entre os documentos analógicos e digitais e as ações do aluno em suas estratégias processuais criativas em rede, ou seja, suas decisões e escolhas diante das variáveis que movem, tramam e estruturam o pensamento. Nesse sentido, o objetivo é identificar e discutir aspectos que afetam o ensino e aprendizagem do processo de design a partir das aulas remotas de projeto. Delineando através das experiências em sala de aula possibilidades e esboços para (re)pensar a criação no contexto digital.
Acessíveis escritos de Edvard Munch (1863-1944): o manuscrito MM N 122
Authors: Zwick Ludmila Menezes
Published: November 2021

A obra pictórica de um artista pode ser acessada por suas próprias palavras, ou seja, nos registros escritos deixados por ele acerca de sua produção e de suas vivências, via fonte primária, produzida no contexto e no instante dos eventos. Com este intuito apresento a tradução do norueguês ao português de um dos manuscritos deixados por Edvard Munch (1863-1944) e disponibilizados pelo Museu Munch, como documento relevante para pesquisas sobre sua obra pictórica. Nesse sentido, a tradução do original desses escritos-fonte de Munch atua como meio-método de democratizar seu conteúdo. A tradução respeita a forma rascunhada do texto e vem precedida de uma defesa dessa prática de tornar o acesso a fontes primárias dos escritos de artistas algo menos restrito e de uma breve nota sobre o artista.
A escritora Hilda Hilst, o editor Massao Ohno, as artes literárias e o fazer-memória nos fluxos digitais
Authors: Bacega Débora Regina
Published: November 2021

Os acervos biobibliográficos daescritora Hilda Hilst (1930-2004) e do editor independente Massao Ohno (1936-2010) indicam que ambos desenvolveram juntos projetos editoriais e gráficos que revelaram tanto a poética hilstiana quanto a sensibilidade artística do designer. Por outro lado, essa relação frutífera também reverberou a falta de distribuição da obra da escritora no mercado editorial. Este artigo pretende apresentar as práticas mnemônicas transversais compreendidas nos acervos biobibliográficos hilstianos na ambiência virtual. Busca-se problematizar como essas práticas podem corroborar a perenidade da relação entre a escritora e seu editor também nos fluxos digitais. Para tanto, apresentamos as contribuições de pesquisadores das temáticas dos aspectos socioculturais e arquivísticos da memória e da curadoria. Neste estudo de caso, observamos os conteúdos publicados com as hashtags #hildahilst e #massaoohno nas plataformas Instagram e YouTube do Instituto. Esperamos demonstrar como essas práticas podem contribuir com o fazer-memória de Hilda Hilst, de Massao Ohno e das artes literárias nas plataformas digitais.

Criar sob o regime da imagem-técnica: uma leitura de Videodrome e Marília Garcia
Authors: Santos Yasmin Bidim Pereira dos
Published: November 2021

Este trabalho traz algumas reflexões sobre a produção de subjetividades na contemporaneidade, levando em conta os regimes de virtualização e digitalização que vigoram na relação dos sujeitos com as tecnologias de comunicação. As reflexões partem da análise de objetos artísticos – o filme Videodrome(1983), de David Cronemberg, e poemas de Marília Garcia, publicados nos livros Câmera Lenta(2017) e Parque das ruínas(2018). Assim, propomos observar como que objetos artísticos podem revelar subjetividades a respeito dos paradoxos da relação com as tecnologias de sua época, em especial as tecnologias de comunicação fundadas na produção e circulação de imagens-técnicas, que atuam diretamente na percepção do tempo e do espaço, e nos paradigmas de deslocamento e velocidade.

Authors: Salles Cecilia , Meireles Júlia , Carlin Mariana , Pinheiro Paola , Dourado Patrícia , Cheida Samir , Gonçalves Vinícius
Published: November 2021

O presente trabalho foi escrito a muitas mãos no contexto do Grupo de Pesquisa de Processos de Criação da PUC-SP, diante do desafio permanente colocado pela expansão dos arquivos da criação. O ponto de partida foi uma publicação no perfil do Instagram do Ateliê Carlos Vergara, em que o artista registra (e posta) a queima de arquivos, como um “exercício de rigor”. A postagem foi detonadora de vários questionamentos sobre a materialidade dos arquivos, especialmente no contexto digital e das redes sociais. Assuntos como transformação das materialidades; acumulação e convivência entre as práticas de registro; performances de processo; especificidades do registro audiovisual e das redes sociais são alguns dos pontos abordados pelo artigo.
Inteligência artificial aplicada à criação artística: a emergência do novo artífice
Authors: Medina Erik Nardini , Farina Mauricius Martins
Published: November 2021

A iminência dos desenvolvimentos tecnocientíficos observados sobretudo a partir dos anos 1960 tem ampliado as maneiras como artistas podem se expressar, principalmente mediante a adoção e colaboração com interfaces inteligentes, que cada vez mais assimilam qualidades humanas e são capazes de assistir a criação. Deste cenário emerge o acoplamento homem-máquina, que embaralha a práxis e se materializa na hibridação – uma simbiose que adota o corpo enquanto metáfora para simbolizar sistemas complexos de naturezas distintas, orgânicas e inorgânicas. A partir do entendimento da necessidade de se refletir sobre a criatividade artística na dimensão artificial, experimentadas numa dinâmica de cocriação, o artigo irá destacar algumas características de um cenário em que a gestação de obras artificializadas implica a adoção de discursos antropomorfizados capazes de assimilar a metamorfose que simboliza tanto uma nova geração de imagens técnicas, quanto um novo momento para a arte e a ciência. A análise se constrói a partir das noções de imagem técnica (FLUSSER), incorpora o pensamento de sistemas enquanto corpos (ZUANON) e apresenta brevemente as noções de embodiment, emoção e sociabilidade (SUCHMAN) como elementos para pensar os próximos passos da criação assistida por interfaces inteligentes. A plataforma de criação Playform auxilia a construção da narrativa.
Ethnic Organizations and Adaptation: A Case Study of Indian Immigrant Engineers in the US
Authors: Sabharwal Meghna , Varma Roli , Noor Zeeshan
Published: November 2021

The United States has witnessed waves of immigration throughout its history, with the current immigration policies regulated by the reforms enacted under President Lyndon Johnson in 1965. Immigrants now come from all over the world, with China and India supplying the largest numbers in science and engineering (S&E) fields. Although the US is seen as coping rather successfully with immigration from Europe, that is not the case with Asian immigration. Assimilation theorists have long argued that Asian immigrants face problems in adapting to the American culture and lifestyles; in contrast, multicultural theorists have hailed cultural diversity brought by Asian immigrants. Ethnic organizations can play an integral role in Asian immigrants’ adaptation and integration in the United States. Utilizing 40 in-depth interviews of Indian immigrant engineers working in the US technology companies, the present study examines if they belong to ethnic associations. If yes, why do they feel a need to belong to these associations? If no, why not? It further sheds light on their need to belong to such associations. The findings show that the need to belong to Indian associations varied with the stage of their lives, which can be depicted as a U-shaped curve.
A new species of fossil Calosoma (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from the Geumgwangdong Formation (Early Miocene), South Korea
Authors: LEE SOO BIN , NAM GI-SOO
Published: November 2021

In this paper, a new fossil species of Calosoma (Coleoptera: Carabidae) from the lower Miocene Geumgwangdong Formation, Pohang City, South Korea, is described. Compared with other Miocene Calosoma fossils, Calosoma kimi sp. nov. exhibits different characteristics in particular interval connection and scale patterns on the elytra. It is the first fossil Calosoma recorded from the Korean Peninsula. However, the taxonomic position of C. kimi sp. nov. within Calosoma is not clear at present though it is probably related to the complex of the subgenera Australodrepa, Calodrepa, and Calosoma.

A new species and new distributional records of Haroldius Boucomont, 1914 (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Scarabaeinae) from southern Africa
Authors: DANIEL GIMO M. , STRÜMPHER WERNER P. , SNÄLL STANISLAV
Published: November 2021

Haroldius lyleae Daniel, Strümpher & Snäll, new species, is described and illustrated from South Africa. The new species can be easily distinguished from other species of the genus by its notable triangular clypeus lacking the distinctive mid-anterior indentation and denticles present in other Haroldius Boucomont, 1914 species. Monomorium albopilosum Emery, 1895 (Hymenoptera: Formicidae: Myrmicinae) is recorded as a possible ant host of the new species. Haroldius modestus (Janssens, 1953) is recorded from Zimbabwe for the first time, and Haroldius convexus (Philips & Scholtz, 2000) is now recorded from the North West and KwaZulu-Natal Provinces of South Africa as well.
Parasitylenchus myiophagus n. sp. (Nematoda: Parasitylenchidae), a tylenchid nematode parasite of long-legged flies (Diptera: Dolichopodidae)
Authors: POINAR GEORGE , RUNYON JUSTIN B.
Published: November 2021

A tylenchid nematode parasite of a male long-legged fly, Tachytrechus sanus Osten Sacken (Diptera: Dolichopodidae) from Montana, USA is described as Parasitylenchus myiophagus n. sp. (Nematoda: Parasitylenchidae). The new species is characterized by the presence of an extremely long first generation female and numerous short and wide second generation males and females produced in “enclosed” clusters in the host’s body cavity. Both generation female nematodes are ovoviviparous, with short stylets lacking knobs and simple tails lacking spikes, palps or mucrons. The second generation males have paired, separate spicules, short stylets, and a bursa but no visible gubernaculum. The fly host shows evidence of demasculinization, which is attributed to nematode parasitism. The gonads of the second generation adults are infected with a microsporidium (Microsporidia), which is a new host record for tylenchid nematodes. A tylenchid-infected Baltic amber dolichopodid shows that associations between these two organisms extend back at least to the Eocene.

A new psocodean species of the family Psyllipsocidae, namely Psyllipsocus yangi sp. n., is described from the Burmese amber. This is the third species of Psyllipsocus from the Burmese amber and is the first Cretaceous Psyllipsocus species with a conical sensillum in mx2. Detailed description of the characters of mouthparts and genitalia are provided. The present finding suggests that Sinopsyllipsocus is a probable synonym of Psyllipsocus.
Delayed Hematogenous Metastasis Versus Second Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Neck in a Patient With Previous Cancer of the Cervix
Authors: Coriell Peter , Engledow Kevin , Roy Shailja , Smith Glenda , Nashed Nadia , Slotman Gus
Published: November 2021

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the uterine cervix commonly spreads through direct infiltration and disseminates by lymphatic or hematogenous pathways. The most frequent locations for metastasis are lungs, liver, and bone. Other distant metastatic sites are rare, with only 1 reported case of neck metastasis. We present here a 73-year-old female with a prior human papillomavirus (HPV) + SCC of the cervix that had metastasized to her peri-aortic lymph nodes. Eight years after diagnosis and treatment, she returned with a hypermetabolic supraclavicular lymph node and new left-sided neck mass. Biopsy of the neck mass revealed invasive SCC positive for high-risk HPV genotype. The presence of high-risk HPV genotypes in both the cervix and supraclavicular lymph node, without evidence of second primary tumor, implies that the neck mass is a delayed metastasis of the patient’s previous cervical cancer. This marks the second recorded case of neck metastasis from a SCC of the cervix.
Warriors against the ‘War on Drugs’: Lay experts in Norwegian drug policy
Authors: Pedersen Willy , Holst Cathrine , Fjell Live Kjos
Published: November 2021

International drug policy is undergoing change, and certain types of lay experts, those who have experienced problems with drug use, are getting a more important role. By drawing on 30 in-depth interviews with representatives from drug users’ organizations, bureaucrats and researchers, we explore the rise of lay experts in Norwegian drug policy. We show how these lay experts’ personal credibility is based on a history of serious drug problems, in particular injecting amphetamine or heroin, as well as the ensuing stigma. On an organizational level, lay experts’ roles as service users or patients generate credibility, even if the background is often the users’ experiences of pain and stigma. We document how lay experts have been included and have influenced the Norwegian drug policy process. However, a problem with representativeness remains, as some groups of drug users, for example, young persons, those who mainly use cannabis or benzodiazepines, those involved in crime and those who belong to ethnic minorities, have not been included to the same extent. Thus, the increasing role of lay experts in the Norwegian drug policy process poses some unexpected challenges in terms of the democratization of expertise. This lack of representativeness may be part of the reason why the initially successful reform movement now seems to face a setback.
Far from the homeland: Dishonour and redemption in Mario Monicelli's The Girl with the Gun
Authors: Tuccini Giona
Published: November 2021

The journey undertaken by the protagonist Assunta Patanè in Mario Monicelli's film The Girl with the Gun is far more than a mere spatial displacement fired by a desire for revenge, but it gradually takes the form of an itinerary of an individualistic and cultural nature that is eventually to overturn the stereotypes of Assunta's native Sicilian community, thus enabling her to embrace modernity and, in particular, emancipation, both of which are totally alien to her at the opening of the film. The metamorphosis of the protagonist passes through various phases that will lead her towards self-awareness and self-determination, following her arrival in Great Britain with the intent to take revenge on Vincenzo, the man responsible for her dishonour. The polyhedral use of language (Sicilian dialect, Standard Italian and English), the impact of a new society and culture, not to mention the series of relations, above all with male characters so different from each other (Vincenzo, John, Frank and Doctor Osborne), will mark Assunta's gradual path towards maturity. In an atmosphere initially overhung with tragedy but gradually transformed through comedy and humour, the Sicilian woman will succeed in freeing herself from the prejudices and customs of an archaic world, so as to affirm her presence and personal identity, now liberated from the simplistic male–female binary and from the respective roles decreed since antiquity.
How effective is group intervention in the treatment for unaccompanied and accompanied refugee minors with mental health difficulties: A systematic review
Authors: Hutchinson Ryan , King Natalie , Majumder Pallab
Published: November 2021

Background:

Unaccompanied refugee minors (URM) are at significantly higher risk of trauma exposure and mental illness. Research examining the most effective treatments for this population is limited.

Aims:

To study the available research evidence on outcomes from various group interventions in this population. The objective is to investigate if these can be used clinically in future interventions.

Methods:

Systematic review was carried out for patient outcomes where group therapy was used as treatment in URM. Studies with ARM (Accompanied refugee minors) were included because of similarities between these groups and because many studies were mixed population.

Results:

Seventeen papers met eligibility criteria with a total of N = 1,119 participants. About 80% studies with a quantitative component reported improvements, and 69% of the studies that carried out statistical analyses reported statistically significant improvements in mental health symptoms. Every qualitative measure reported positive outcome for the participants. Studies with URM tended to show improved outcomes more often than studies exclusively with ARM.

Conclusions:

The evidence demonstrates the efficacy of group therapy in improving mental health outcomes, although the number of studies with robust methodology is small. Group intervention has potential to improve engagement and outcomes of URM with mental illness. Future direction for research is discussed.

We hereby report the case of a 28-year-old woman presenting with multiple millimetric excrescences in the oral cavity that were clinically interpreted as squamous cell papilloma and histologically consistent with NVHs. Neurovascular hamartomas is rare in the oral cavity. To the best of our knowledge, multiple NVHs have never been reported at this site.
“Like I’m flying”: Capoeira dance experiences of youth with visual impairments
Authors: Esatbeyoglu Ferhat , Kirk TN , Haegele Justin A
Published: November 2021

Participation in dance programs is associated with physical and psychosocial health among individuals with and without disabilities. However, literature centered on the dance participation experiences of youth with visual impairment remains scarce. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the experiences of youth with visual impairments in a 3-week capoeira dance program. Fourteen adolescents with visual impairments (eight boys, six girls, aged 13–18 years old) were selected for participation in this qualitative inquiry. Participants engaged in a specially designed capoeira dance program led by trained instructors and volunteers in a metropolitan area in Turkey. The primary sources of data were semi-structured participant interviews completed after the conclusion of the program. Data were analyzed using a six-step thematic approach and recurrent themes were presented as findings. The authors constructed three themes in the data: (a) “capoeira makes me feel like I’m flying”: fun and freedom learning capoeira; (b) “I’ve never had this kind of close relationship with somebody”: relationships in capoeira training; and (c) “I’m a blind dancer. I did it, right?”: learning capoeira through sound and touch. Together, these findings indicate that dance programs such as capoeira can provide an opportunity for social connection, enjoyment, and physical activity for youth with visual impairments.

Drawing from the stress resistance process within the conservation of resources theory, this study examined how resources at multiple ecological levels—personal (self-esteem), relational (spousal support), and social network (relationships with parents and parents-in-law)—moderate the spillover and crossover effects from external stressors to trajectories of marital quality. We used three-annual-wave, dyadic data from 268 heterosexual Chinese couples who were at the beginning stages of marriage. Consistent with theory, personal, relational, and social network resources all buffered the detrimental effects of external stressors for marital quality. Further, nuanced findings emerged, likely given the social cultural context in contemporary China. Specifically, gender differences emerged in whether a specific resource attenuated the detrimental effects of external stressors (e.g., husbands’ vs. wives’ self-esteem attenuated detrimental effects of external stressors). Moreover, opposite patterns existed for the short-term versus long-term results for husbands’ relational resources. In sum, our findings highlight that when helping couples cope with stressors, it is necessary to (a) include available resources at multiple ecological levels (personal, relational, social network) and (b) consider whether social cultural backgrounds may have influenced the effectiveness of a specific resource.

Objective

To test with the Rasch analysis the psychometric properties of the Falls Efficacy Scale International, a questionnaire for measuring concern about falling.

Design

Longitudinal observational study, before–after rehabilitation.

Setting

Inpatient rehabilitation.

Subjects

A total of 251 neurological patients with balance impairment.

Interventions

Physiotherapy and occupational therapy aimed at reducing the risk of falling.

Main measures

Participants (median age, first–third quartile: 74.0, 65.5–80.5 years; stroke and polyneuropathy: 43% and 21% of the sample, respectively) received a balance assessment (Falls Efficacy Scale International included) pre- and post-rehabilitation. Rasch analysis was used to evaluate the Falls Efficacy Scale International. Differential item functioning, which assesses the measures’ stability in different conditions (e.g. before vs. after treatment) and in different groups of individuals, was tested for several variables.

Results

Patients suffered a moderate balance impairment (Mini-BESTest median score; first–third quartile: 15; 11–19), mild–moderate concern about falling (Falls Efficacy Scale International: 28; 21–37) and motor disability (Functional Independence Measure, motor domain: 70.0; 57.0–76.5). Falls Efficacy Scale International items fitted the Rasch model (range of infit and outfit mean square statistics: 0.8–1.32 and 0.71–1.45, respectively) and the questionnaire's reliability was satisfactory (0.87). No differential item functioning was found for treatment, gender, age and balance impairment. Differential item functioning was found for diagnosis and disability severity, but it is shown that it is not such as to bias measures.

Conclusions

Falls Efficacy Scale International ordinal scores can be turned into interval measures, i.e. measures of the type of temperature. Being differential item functioning-free for treatment, these measures can be safely used to compare concern about falling before and after rehabilitation, such as when interested in assessing the rehabilitation effectiveness.
“I don’t know how musically creative they should be at that age”: A qualitative study of parents’ and teachers’ beliefs about young children’s creative and musical capacities
Authors: MacGlone Una , Wilson Graeme , MacDonald Raymond
Published: November 2021

There has been a recent expansion of school curricula and extra-curricular activities emphasizing musical creativity and collaboration. Parents have a crucial role in providing children with access to such experiences; their views on music and the nature of creativity influence the types of musical engagement their children will access. Teachers also have an important role, yet can have difficulties when supporting children in open-ended tasks. A qualitative study investigated parents’ and teachers’ constructions of creativity and music. Interviews were held with 11 parents and 4 teachers of preschool children who took part in improvisation workshops. Data were analyzed with thematic analysis, resulting in identification of three themes. Creativity and musicality were described as fundamental to children’s “human nature” but positioned as a non-fundamental part of their own adult identities. “Values” explored conceptualizations of creativity through artistic products; musicality was appreciated demonstration of technical skill. “Frames for engaging” identified adults engaging with their children in creative tasks mainly through child-led narratives; in contrast, parents took on the role of “teacher” in musical tasks. Understanding these influential views offers insight into the types of activities and guidance offered to pre-schoolers and how they can be built on to foster children’s musical creativity.

Thrombosis and bleeding after implementation of an intermediate-dose prophylactic anticoagulation protocol in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19): a multicenter screening study Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is common among critically ill patients with COVID-19. Information regarding VTE prevalence and bleeding complications after implementation of intermediate-dose prophylactic anticoagulation in such patients is, however, limited. Methods: We performed a prospective, observational study in 6 ICUs in 2 university-affiliated teaching hospitals in Sweden. After implementation of an intermediate-dose prophylactic anticoagulation protocol, we performed ultrasound screening for proximal lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and collected routine computed tomography pulmonary angiography exam results. Results: A total of 100 COVID-19 patients were included from June 21, 2020, through February 18, 2021. During a median follow-up of 120 (IQR, 89-134) days, we found VTE in 37 patients with the majority (78.4%) being diagnosed after ICU arrival. Overall, 20 patients had proximal lower-extremity DVT with 95% being detected on ultrasound screening; 22 patients had pulmonary vascular thrombosis; and 4 patients had venous thrombosis at other sites. A total of 6 patients had both proximal lower-extremity DVT and pulmonary vascular thrombosis. On univariate logistic regression analysis of 14 baseline characteristics, only pre-existing heart failure was associated with VTE (OR 4.67, 95% CI 1.13-19.34). Major and non-major bleeding occurred in 10 and 18 patients, respectively. Conclusions: In our cohort of ICU patients with COVID-19, we observed a high prevalence of VTE and bleeding complications after implementation of intermediate-dose anticoagulation. In approximately half of patients, VTE was identified on screening ultrasound.
Institutional Response and Impact of Reporting Sexual Violence: An Examination of Sexual and Gender Minority College Students

Although college students who are sexual and gender minorities (SGM) experience higher rates of sexual victimization than their peers who identify as heterosexual and cisgender, there is a paucity in the literature investigating how college campuses can address the needs of SGM college students in violence prevention and response. The present research examines a subset of data from the Healthy Minds Survey (HMS), a national web-based survey administered across two universities from 2016 to 2017. We examined the role of SGM status in the rates of sexual violence, perceptions of their college/university’s institutional response to reports of sexual violence (e.g., taking a report seriously and taking corrective action), and the perceived impact of reporting sexual violence (e.g., students would support the person making a report). Logistic regression analyses revealed higher rates of sexual victimization among sexual minority students (compared to heterosexual), women (compared to men), and transgender and gender diverse (TGD) students (compared to cisgender). In addition, sexual minority (compared to heterosexual), women (compared to men), and TGD (compared to cisgender) students were more likely to perceive their institution would have a poor response to reports of sexual violence. Women and sexual minority students were also likely to believe that students who report sexual violence would suffer academically. These findings highlight the need for continued efforts to enhance sexual assault prevention and response efforts on college campuses, especially for SGM students.
Success of Feather Margin Preparation for Full Metal Prosthodontic Crowns in the Canine Teeth in 84 Pet and Working Dogs (2005-2017)
Authors: Ribka Erin P. , Niemiec Brook A.
Published: November 2021

Medical and dental records of Veterinary Dental Specialties and Oral Surgery were searched to identify dogs that received full metal prosthodontic crowns on canine teeth, using a feather or knife edge preparation between 2005 and 2017. A total of 160 teeth in 84 dogs were included in the study. Current follow-up by telephone, electronic mail, or electronic messaging was conducted, in addition to thorough record review for in-person recheck examinations. Treatment was considered successful if the prosthodontic crown was in place and no further or additional injury to the tooth had occurred at the time of reexamination, owner contact, or patient death. Tooth fracture apical to the prosthodontic crown occurred in 2 (1.25%) cases, bond failure between the tooth and the cement or the cement and the crown occurred in a single case (0.625%), and one metal crown required replacement after 3 years due to wear (0.625%), for an overall failure rate of 2.5%. These results suggest that feather preparation of the margin is at least as, if not more, successful as the more commonly accepted and performed chamfer margin, and thus is a successful, practical and durable option for prosthodontic crown treatment in dog canine teeth.
Smith predictor compensation and fuzzy incremental control for delay of space docking hardware-in-the-loop simulation system

Published: November 2021

Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation for space manipulator docking is an important means to simulate real space docking on the ground. The HIL simulation system in this paper utilizes the contact force measured by force sensor to calculate the dynamics of the mechanisms, and the docking process is simulated by the parallel robot. The measurement delay of force sensor and dynamic response delay of the parallel robot are inevitable, which not only affect the accuracy of simulation but also lead to the instability of the HIL simulation system. The traditional first-order phase compensation is the most commonly used force sensor compensator; but when the force changes with a high frequency, its compensation effect becomes bad, which will lead to the divergence of the HIL simulation system. Most control methods of the parallel robot are based on the model of the parallel robot, but the forces of the parallel robot are complex during the docking process, and the system parameters, motion frequency, and dynamic response characteristics are time-varying; thus, it is difficult to design the controller based on the model. In this paper, the Smith predictor compensation (SPC) method and fuzzy incremental control (FIC) method are utilized to decrease the delays of the force sensor and parallel robot, respectively. The effectiveness of the Smith predictor compensation and fuzzy incremental control method in reducing the delay of the HIL system and in improving the stability of the system is verified by simulation and experiment; compared with the traditional first-order phase compensation and proportional-integral-differential control methods, the advantages of the proposed methods are illustrated. The research in this paper provides an important technical means for accurately simulating the real docking process.
