Twenty-seven peacebuilders worldwide reflect on their experience of the COVID-19 pandemic in an online survey and text-based reflective interview, sharing insight into how it has affected them and their work in the peace sector. Peacebuilders have experienced the ambiguity of the COVID-19 pandemic in differing ways, with some seeing opportunities in their work and personal life, and others, threats. The results reveal 12 common aspects that have affected the peacebuilders' lives during the COVID-19 pandemic. Notably, in their work, peacebuilders have experienced changes in their relationships with colleagues and stakeholders because of interpersonal barriers due to COVID-19 lockdowns and distancing measures. Concerning the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on peacebuilders' personal lives, the research reveals that their mental health has been negatively affected and peacebuilders see an increase in anxiety. The causes of this anxiety include an inability to make plans and conduct pre-planned peacebuilding projects. The theoretical foundation in this study understands the COVID-19 pandemic as a period of ambiguity and grief. This approach results in a previously unexplored and timely examination of how the pandemic has affected peacebuilders personally and professionally. This paper offers peacebuilding organisations insight into what aspects peacebuilders require support with, to ensure they can continue their essential work now, and in the post-pandemic world.
Barriers to Healthcare Access and Utilization among Urban Syrian Refugees in Turkey
Authors: Zhang Elwyn , Worthington Roger P.
Published: July 2021

Turkey currently hosts 3.6 million registered Syrian refugees, most of which reside in urban centres. Urban refugees in Turkey face significant challenges in accessing the healthcare to which they are entitled under international and Turkish law. This literature review seeks to provide a holistic overview of the major barriers refugees face in accessing adequate healthcare. Language forms the single greatest obstacle despite efforts to provide services staffed by Arabic speakers. Poverty exacerbated by lack of employment, unhygienic living conditions, and the COVID-19 pandemic also play significant roles. Above all, hostile Turkish public sentiment towards refugees motivates restrictive government policies and discourages aid. Potential means by which this situation may be addressed include prompt address of the financial hardships brought on by COVID-19, permitting NGOs to evaluate the effectiveness of migrant health centres, and the resumption of refugee registration in key provinces.

Bu araştırmanın amacı, sosyal hizmet merkezinde çalışan kadınların mesleki tercihlerine ilişkin görüşlerini toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri bağlamında incelemektir. Araştırma, nitel araştırma modelinde fenomenoloji deseninde tasarlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini belirlerken, amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden kolay erişilebilir örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma grubuna 13 katılımcı dahil edilerek veriler görüşme yöntemi ile yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığı ile toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, kadınların toplumsal cinsiyet rollerini, iş ve ekonomik yaşam, sosyal yaşam, aile ve evlilik yaşamı çerçevesinde değerlendirdikleri görülmüştür. Toplumsal cinsiyetin meslek tercihindeki etkisinin ise, “kadın işi algısı” alt teması altında toplandığı saptanmıştır. Örneklem kapsamına alınan katılımcılardan elde edilen veriler değerlendirildiğinde, katılımcıların meslek seçimlerinde erkeklerin yoğunlukta çalıştığı iş alanlarına girmekten kaçındıkları görülmüştür. Katılımcılar iş yaşamında yıldırmaya maruz kaldıklarını, iş yerinde terfi alma, yüksek maaş alma gibi imkanların erkek çalışan ya da yöneticiler tarafından engellendiğini aktarmışlardır. Araştırma sonucunda kadınların meslek seçimlerinde toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine ilişkin görüşlerinin önemli rolü olduğu, aile ve sosyal çevrenin de kadınları meslek seçimine yönlendirme yaparken toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri kapsamında yönlendirmeler yaptıkları saptanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, toplumsal cinsiyetin meslek seçimindeki etkilerini gidermek amacıyla öneriler geliştirilmiştir.

Published: July 2021

Introduction: Diphtheria is an upper respiratory tract infection caused by Corynebacterium diphtheria bacterium. The recent diphtheria outbreak caused a large number of deaths in rapid period. This is due to the absence of a fast and precise method of diphtheria diagnosis. Current diagnosis practices aredone by cultivating bacteria which takes a relatively long time, which is 3 to 5 days, while the patients may already develop severe infection by the time the results are accessible. Therefore, a sensitive, easy and fast diphtheria diagnostic method is needed so that patients suspected of being infected can betreated quicker.Methods: This advertorial is written based on literature study method.Result: The diphtheria diagnostic kit was designed based on the DNA hybridization method by using DNA microarray. There are probes on the microarray plate in the form of a single stranded DNA fragment that is complement to the unique area of gene that encodes diphtheria toxin. The test sample wasobtained from the preparation of the patient's throat smear and labeled with a fluorescence marker before dropped onto the plate. Thus, if there is diphtheria DNA in the patient's sample, hybridization will occur between diphtheria DNA and the complementary DNA probe. The occurrence of hybridization will be characterized by fluorescence as an indicator of whether patients have diphtheria or not. The application of this diagnostic kit can shorten the diagnosis of C. diphtheria to less than 24 hours .Conclusion: Diphtheria diagnostic kit based on DNA hybridization can be made and applied.
MUNDO DOS SURDOS: ANÁLISE E DISCUSSÃO DO SINAL “EU TE AMO” COMO SIGNO IDEOLÓGICO

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar e discutir as construções que permeiam o sinal da expressão “Eu te amo”, na Língua Brasileira de Sinais (Libras), como um signo ideológico dado de acordo com os conceitos bakhtinianos. Como metodologia, optou-se por seguir os pressupostos da metodologia pós-crítica, pela liberdade que a mesma permite para estabelecer métodos, formas e materiais para a pesquisa, de acordo com a necessidade. Assim, como material para análise, utilizou-se as redes sociais, Facebook e Instagram, para coletar imagens divulgadas em momentos reais de uso, como também blogs e sites para apresentar o sinal em questão, sendo realizada a análise e discussão seguindo as bibliografias autorais de Bakhtin, que apresentam conceitos sobre o signo ideológico.  Como amparo teórico nas discussões que envolve o mundo dos surdos, pautou-se  em:  Skliar (2015), Quadros e Karnopp (2004), Perlin (1998), Perlin e STROBEL(2008), entre outros, bem como blogs e sites.   Conseguinte, verificou-se que o sinal da expressão “Eu te amo” abandona o seu campo de significação primária literal específica de amor, saindo do plano material, passando a refletir, em outras representatividades/sentidos, conforme o contexto no qual é empregado. Diante dessas asseverações, chegamos às considerações de que, em variados momentos, ele passa a ser signo ideológico por se tornar um sinal de representação, pois reflete o amor a seu povo e tudo o que é intrínseco a ele, como língua, cultura, identidade, bem como assume sentidos outros, de união nos momentos de luta em busca de reconhecimento, respeito e quebra de estereótipos.

Introdução: A agricultura do século 21 enfrenta os desafios de atender à crescente demanda por alimentos reduzindo o uso de recursos e os impactos ambientais. Nesse sentido, o uso de nanopartículas como bioestimulantes vegetais é promissor. A Arbolina®, produto a base de nanopartículas de carbono do tipo “Carbon Dots”, desenvolvido por pesquisadores da Universidade de Brasília e Embrapa Hortaliças, tem mostrado potencial para uso agrícola. O presente trabalho avaliou os efeitos de diferentes concentrações de Arbolina® e formas de aplicação sobre a produtividade e a qualidade dos frutos de morangueiro (Fragaria x ananassa Duch). Material e métodos: Um experimento fatorial com duas formas de aplicação (pulverização foliar ou substrato) e seis concentrações de Arbolina® (0, 20, 40, 80, 160 e 320 mg L-1) com morangueiro cv. “Portola” foi instalado em casa-de-vegetação, na Estação Experimental de Biologia da Universidade de Brasília. Foram avaliadas a produtividade, parâmetros de trocas gasosas (condutância estomática, concentração interna de CO2 e taxa líquida de fotossíntese), qualidade físico-química e composição nutricional dos morangos. Resultados: A produtividade de morango aumentou 41% com a aplicação, via substrato, de solução contendo 155,6 mg L-1 de Arbolina® (concentração modelada) em relação ao controle. Nenhum parâmetro associado às trocas gasosas foi alterado, independente da cocnentração ou forma de aplicação, provavelmente devido ao estágio avançado de desenvolvimento das plantas no momento da avaliação. A maior parte dos parâmetros de qualidade e composição dos morangos não foi alterada com adição da Arbolina®, com exceção do teor de lipídios, que foi até 62% menor nas três maiores concentrações avaliadas. Conclusão: A aplicação de soluções contendo 155,6 mg L-1 de Arbolina®, via substrato, em morangueiro Portola é capaz de aumentar a produtividade (41%), sem alterar a qualidade dos morangos.
