Authors: NORMANDIN E. , SÉNÉCHAL M. , PRUD’HOMME D. , RABASA-LHORET R. , BROCHU M.
Published: June 2021

Objective: The dynapenic (DYN)-obese phenotype is associated with an impaired metabolic profile. However, there is a lack of evidences regarding the effect of lifestyle interventions on the metabolic profile of individual with dynapenic phenotype. The objective was to investigate the impact of caloric restriction (CR) with or without resistance training (RT) on body composition, metabolic profile and muscle strength in DYN and non-dynapenic (NDYN) overweight and obese menopausal women. Design: 109 obese menopausal women (age 57.9 ± 9.0 yrs; BMI 32.1 ± 4.6 kg/m2) were randomized to a 6-month CR intervention with or without a RT program. Participants were categorized as DYN or NDYN based on the lowest tertile of relative muscle strength in our cohort (< 4.86 kg/BMI). Measurements: Body composition was measured by DXA, body fat distribution by CT scan, glucose homeostasis at fasting state and during an euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, fasting lipids, resting blood pressure, fasting inflammation markers and maximal muscle strength. Results: No difference was observed between groups at baseline for body composition and the metabolic profile. Overall, a treatment effect was observed for all variables of body composition and some variables of the metabolic profile (fasting insulin, glucose disposal, triglyceride levels, triglycerides/HDL-Chol ratio and resting diastolic blood pressure) (P between 0.05 and 0.001). No Group X Treatment interaction was observed for variables of body composition and the metabolic profile. However, an interaction was observed for muscle strength; which significantly improved more in the CR+RT NDYN group (all P ≤ 0.05). Conclusions: In the present study, dynapenia was not associated with a worse metabolic profile at baseline in overweight and obese menopausal women. DYN and NDYN menopausal women showed similar cardiometabolic benefit from CR or CR+RT interventions. However, our results showed that the addition of RT to CR was more effective in improving maximal strength in DYN and NDYN obese menopausal women.
Texto, re-texto e contexto: alteridade de Lispector a Bishop e a interface literatura/política nas Américas em Guerra Fria
Authors: G. Gatti Maria
Published: June 2021

Nas relações políticas e culturais do Brasil com o exterior, no período entre a Segunda Guerra Mundial e o início da Guerra Fria, a função da literatura foi pensada tanto como veículo de compreensão mútua entre as nações quanto como potencial carregadora de ideologia subversiva. Este trabalho observa as diferenças entre o conto “A menor mulher do mundo”, de Clarice Lispector, e sua tradução por Elizabeth Bishop, explorando as nuances da circulação de ideias entre as Américas através da ficção. Lido ao lado de material de arquivos estatais, o caso revela encruzilhadas da literatura em sua vida global como fonte histórica, permitindo reflexões sobre fato e ficção, literatura e política.
Aristotle on How Efficient Causation Works
Authors: Huismann Tyler
Published: June 2021

In this article I argue that, in light of his critique of rival theories of efficient causation, there is a puzzle latent in Aristotle’s own account. According to that critique, efficient causes must explain why their effects come about when they do rather than at some other time, a feature I call temporal contrastiveness. But it is not clear how the various elements of one of Aristotle’s preferred examples of such causation, the activity of experts, can enjoy this feature. Solving the puzzle yields a novel reading of Aristotle, one according to which experts, but not their characteristic arts or skills, are efficient causes.

Examining foreign language teaching and learning in Nepal: An ecological perspective
Authors: Poudel Prem Prasad , Baral Madan Prasad
Published: June 2021

In recent years, in Nepal, while some languages of the nation are on the verge of extinction, some foreign languages (such as Japanese, Korean, Chinese) are emerging as new attractions among the youths and adults and are widely taught in the marketplaces through the private sector initiative. Against this backdrop, in this article, we have examined the current foreign language teaching and learning situation drawing on qualitative empirical data obtained from the institutes involved in foreign language instruction in a city in Gandaki Province of Nepal. The data were collected from a survey in forty institutes, ten individual interviews and five focus group discussions. Drawing on the data, an ecological model was adopted, which focused on dynamic interaction, co-existence, and competition among languages, and findings were discussed in line with these aspects of ecological understanding. Findings revealed that learning foreign languages has been established as a conduit towards economic gains and opportunities for employment and education, which has largely been contributory towards reshaping the ecological relationship among the foreign languages in Nepal.
Colorants in printing applications
Authors: Rathschlag Thomas
Published: June 2021

This review article is a summary of the current knowledge in the field of colorants in printing applications. Printing inks belong as well as paints, coatings, plastics, and cosmetic formulations to the most important application systems for colorants, both for pigments and dyes. Colorants have to meet increasing demands in printing applications due to the considerable number of printing methods and consequently of a large number of specific printing formulations. Crucial factors besides the specific properties of a certain printing ink are the processing method and the required quality of the final printed product. Amongst the most important printing methods are letterpress printing, offset printing, flexographic printing, gravure printing, screen printing, and digital printing. Different processing methods are used for coloring of the individual printing inks. The coloring processes need to be coordinated in accordance with the steps of the printing processes leading to the final product.
Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) pigments
Authors: Christie Robert , Abel Adrian
Published: June 2021

Since their industrial introduction in the 1980s, DPP pigments now constitute a highly important group of high-performance carbonyl pigments. The DPP system was first discovered by accident in 1974, and was subsequently re-investigated by Ciba Geigy who recognized its potential to provide commercial organic pigments. DPP pigments exhibit strong similarities compared with quinacridone pigments, in terms of their molecular and crystal structures and their properties, including low solubility and excellent fastness properties. X-ray crystal structural analysis has demonstrated that their technical performance is the result of intermolecular hydrogen bonding and π–π stacking interactions in the crystal lattice structure. Based on a simple retrosynthetic analysis, an efficient synthetic process was developed by Ciba Geigy for their large-scale manufacture. DPP pigments currently provide orange through to reddish violet shades and have become of special importance in providing brilliant saturated red shades with the outstanding durability required for applications such as automotive paints.

Published: June 2021

Objectives

To determine the effects of hypoxia-inducible factors (HIF)-1 inhibitors on carbonic anhydrase-IX (CA-IX) enzyme and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in melanoma. The HIF-1 pathway induces tumor growth and metastasis by stimulating the expression of CA-IX enzyme and VEGF proteins.

Methods

We evaluated the inhibition effects of Acriflavine and Echinomycin on CA-IX enzyme and VEGF in WM115 (primary) and SKMEL30 (metastatic) cell lines in normoxic and hypoxic conditions with Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay. The cytotoxic activity of HIF-1 inhibitors was performed by using WST-1 assay. All experiments were performed at 450 nm using Epoch™ Microplate Spectrophotometer.

Results

IC50 values were observed with a concentration of 3 μmol/L for Echinomycin and Acriflavine in the WST-1 assay. Decreased CA-IX and VEGF levels were determined in both normoxia and hypoxia after inhibitors’ treatment with WM115 and SKMEL30 cell lines (p<0.05). Inhibitory effect of HIF-1 inhibitors on CA-IX and VEGF proteins was observed in cell lines WM115 and SKMEL30.

Conclusions

Due to the importance of our study, using HIF-1 inhibitors may be an alternative treatment for melanoma. Also to design new HIF-1 inhibitor derivatives is a promising approach for further studies targeting CA-IX enzyme and VEGF.

Published: June 2021

Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between peri-implant diseases and dental anxiety and oral health-related quality of life.

Methods: In a total of 101 subjects (44 females, 57 males, mean age 56.9 ± 12.1), 325 implants were examined using modified plaque index, modified sulcus bleeding index, probing depth, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment level, suppuration, and keratinized mucosa width. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) was used to measure the impact of oral health-related quality of life. For the purpose of assessing the dental anxiety level, Corah’s Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) was performed. In addition to dental implant measurements, the periodontal status of the participants' natural teeth was assessed by the Community Periodontal Index (CPI) of the World Health Organization.

Results: All created groups as peri-implantitis, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implant healthy were compatible with each other in terms of gender, age, income level, smoking status, and oral hygiene practices. However, a statistically significant correlation was found indicating that the peri-implant condition worsened as the educational status worsened (p=0.033). There was no statistically significant difference between study groups in terms of DAS, OHIP-14, and CPI. There was a significant correlation between the scores of DAS and OHIP-14 (p

Flexural characteristics of Eucalyptus nitens timber with high moisture content
Authors: Cheng Yingyao , Nolan Gregory , Holloway Damien , Kaur Jaskiran , Lee Michael , Chan Andrew
Published: June 2021

The demand for timber resources in the building industry has been increasing. Plantation Eucalyptus nitens is of interest because of its sustainable supply and potential for structural applications. However, few design standards cover strength values of plantation eucalypt timber, especially flexural failure below and above the fibre saturation point, which is an important mechanism of failure in bending members used in the building industry. Static bending tests were undertaken using a universal testing machine to examine nonlinear bending behaviour of 130 fibre managed E. nitens small clear wood samples at low and high moisture contents (MC). The mean bending modulus of rupture (MOR) was 80.7 MPa for low MC and 59.0 MPa for high MC. The high MC samples exhibited larger displacements at low ultimate loads, while the low MC samples showed abrupt failures at relatively small displacements with high ultimate loads. The design characteristic values for low and high MC E. nitens were 68.5 MPa and 39.8 MPa, respectively. This research demonstrates that fibre managed E. nitens timber is a promising timber for structural applications, especially when exposed to water, as the MOR reduction of E. nitens timber above FSP is relatively lower than those of P. radiata, which is a traditional construction material.

Published: June 2021

The study of mine geological environmental quality evaluation methods has always been an important topic. Taking the mining geological environment of Muping District, Shandong Province as the research background, and based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, a hierarchical structure model of the quality evaluation index of the mine geological environment in the study area was established, the relative importance of the 14 rating levels was estimated, and the weights were calculated. And sorting, establish a mine geological environment quality evaluation index system; then, according to the calculated comprehensive threshold value, establish a comprehensive evaluation grade of the mine geological environment. The results of the study show that the degree of environmental pollution (air, soil, water), vegetation coverage, topography and landform are the main factors for the evaluation of the geological environmental quality of the mines in the study area, and their weights are 0.3114, 0.1743, and 0.1184 in order. According to the principle of the maximum degree of membership, the mine geological environment quality is determined to be a good grade. Through the verification of the survey results of the mine geological environment on-site, the results show that the weights calculated by this method are reasonable, and the theoretical analysis and evaluation results obtained are in good agreement with reality. This method is worthy of popularization in the mine environment assessment work. Decision-making and governance provide decision-making support services.
Lecturas del pasado en procesos contemporáneos de reafirmación comunitaria. El caso de la Comunidad Pueblo Tolombón (Valle de Choromoro, Argentina)
Authors: Manzanelli Macarena
Published: June 2021

Desde hace varios años, en un contexto de agravamiento de conflictos territoriales y deslegitimación por parte de las familias terratenientes y del poder judicial provincial, la Comunidad Pueblo Tolombón (provincia de Tucumán, Argentina)
ha impulsado procesos de comunalización con el fin de legitimar su origen, su posesión y su preexistencia territorial. En este artículo se analizan los vínculos con el pasado a través de actividades desarrolladas por los tolombones: los talleres de reflexión y explicitación de prácticas de sus antepasados-mayores y la búsqueda y recuperación de una Escritura Real que data del período colonial. La metodología que se utiliza para abordar el trabajo son técnicas de observación participante y entrevistas durante los años 2017-2019.  Los tolombones han explorado vínculos temporales de corta duración, a través de la elaboración de memorias comunitarias, y nexos de larga duración mediante la recuperación y revalorización de materialidades arqueológicas, archivos y narrativas coloniales sobre sus antepasados-ancestros. Se concluye que la combinación de estas acciones refleja, por un lado, que la idea de “comunidad” se sustenta en evidenciar continuidades culturales entre el pasado y el presente; y por otro, habilita relecturas contra-hegemónicas a la luz de los conflictos territoriales contemporáneos.

Published: June 2021

Effect of coating with calcium nitrate in three concentrations (0.0, 0.5, and 1.0 wt%) on chemical and mechanical properties, and impact behaviour of two apple cultivars (Golden Delicious (GD) and Red Delicious (RD)) during time (0, 2, and 4 months) was studied. Moisture content, pH, titratable acidity, °Brix, organoleptic properties, modulus of elasticity (E), yield stress, yield strain, and toughness were measured. The effect of impact loads was determined by measuring bruise volume (BV) and bruise susceptibility (BS). The results showed that pH and °Brix significantly increased, while titratable acidity, E, yield strain, toughness, and BV decreased during storage time. As Ca(NO3)2 concentration increased, titratable acidity, E, yield strain and yield stress increased and pH decreased (P < 0.05). Highest and lowest values for °Brix were observed in GD treated with 1.0% Ca(NO3)2 after four months (13.31) and GD treated with 0.5% Ca(NO3)2 at the first day (10.65), respectively. Maximum E was obtained in GD treated with 1.0% Ca(NO3)2 on the first day (2130 kPa) and this sample also showed the lowest BS after four months of storage (2.82 mL J−1), while the uncoated GD had the highest BS on the first day (7.11 mL J−1).

On two improved numerical algorithms for vibration analysis of systems involving fractional derivatives
Authors: Khang Nguyen Van , Duong Lac Van , Chung Pham Thanh
Published: June 2021

Zhang and Shimizu (1998) proposed a numerical algorithm based on Newmark method to calculate the dynamic response of mechanical systems involving fractional derivatives. On the basis of Runge-Kutta-Nyström method and Newmark method, the present study proposes two new numerical algorithms, namely, the improved Newmark algorithm using the second order derivative and the improved Runge-Kutta-Nyström algorithm using the second order derivative to solve the fractional differential equations of vibration systems. The accuracy of new algorithms is investigated in detail by numerical simulation. The simulation result demonstrated that the Runge-Kutta-Nyström algorithm using the second order derivative for the vibration analysis of systems involving fractional derivatives is more effective than the Newmark algorithm of Zhang and Shimizu.

Published: June 2021

The creation of diagnostic tests to determine and monitor an athlete’s adaptation resources is a relevant task.

Aim. To determine the levels of natural anti-glutamate receptor and anti-GABA antibodies in the dynamics of physical activity during training of football players. To establish the predictive role of these indicators in the objectification of adaptation.

Material and methods. The experimental group involved 33 football players aged 18 to 24 years. The control group (n=33) consisted of volunteers of the same age engaged in fitness. Determination of immunological parameters was carried out by solid-phase ELISA.

Results. It was found that each subject has an individual immunological profile, the parameters of which change depending on load received. The measured levels of anti-glutamate receptor and anti-GABA antibodies are consistent with the physical activity of a football player. According to the analysis results, the athletes were divided into three groups. The subjects of the first one had reliably high immunological indices and was at the peak of physical activity. Low values of the third group indicated a fatigue. The second group levels were within normal range and demonstrated resource capabilities for the load.

Conclusion. The revealed immunological markers are suitable for the diagnostic and prognostic assessment of the athlete’s body functional state.

Authors: Bantyeva M. N. , Manoshkina E. M.
Published: June 2021

To date, the issue of population’s need for medical rehabilitation (MR) remains little studied.

Aim.To determine the age-specific rates of the Russian adult population’s need for intrahospital MR.

Material and methods. The paper presents the estimated age-specific need of the adult population for inpatient MR, constituting the hospitalization number per year per 10,000 population of a particular age for diseases corresponding to ICD10 codes. During the study, the adult population was divided into 6 age groups (18- 29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70 and older). Medical experts have developed indications for intrahospital MR immediately after the treatment of acute conditions, exacerbation of chronic diseases, the outcomes of injuries and surgeries. The indications were developed taking into account the disease stage and the severity of a patient’s condition. The necessary conditions for MR (in- or outpatient) have also been determined. Taking into account these indications during analyzing medical documentation, the experts concluded that further MR of inpatients is necessary. The duration of MR was also determined.

Results. The largest number of inpatients in need of MR falls on the older age groups (60-69 years (874,7 per 10,000 population) and ≥70 years (1346,3 per 10,000 population)), while the smallest — on the people aged 18-29 years (106,2 per 10,000 population). This is due to the fact that in older age groups the number of diseases requiring MR is increasing, including in inpatients conditions. In other age groups, the need for intrahospital MR was as follows: 115,2 hospitalizations per 10,000 population in the 30-39 age group; 328,9  — in the 40-49 age group; 512,5 — in the 50-59 age group.

Conclusion. The healthcare executive authorities in any Russian regions can estimate the age-specific population’s need for MR using the proposed calculated number of adult population hospitalizations for inpatient MR.

Published: June 2021

Resumo Em 2019, a taxa de distorção idade-série foi de 23,4% e 26,2% para os anos finais do ensino fundamental e do ensino médio, respectivamente. As elevadas taxas de distorção idade-série (TDI) reduzem a escolarização e elevam os custos decorrentes do atraso escolar. O objetivo desse trabalho é estimar o efeito do Programa Bolsa Família (PBF) sobre a distorção idade-série. Foram utilizados os microdados do Suplemento Educação da Pesquisa Nacional de Amostras por Domicílio Contínua, referente ao 2º Trimestre dos anos de 2016 a 2019, e a técnica utilizada foi o Propensity Score Matching (PSM). Os resultados mostraram que participar do PBF reduz entre 2,23 e 6,02 p.p. a TDI. Os efeitos são maiores para os meninos, redução entre 3,99 e 7,22 p.p., e na região Centro-Oeste, cuja redução foi de 11,1 p.p. Os resultados nos levaram a concluir que o PBF gera efeitos positivos sobre indicadores educacionais.

MERCOSUR AND THE EU: THE FALSE MIRROR
Authors: Nolte Detlef , Ribeiro Neto Clarissa Correa
Published: June 2021

Abstract The relations with the European Union (EU) began almost with the Mercosur’s creation. After signing a first framework agreement in 1995, the EU and Mercosur began negotiating a comprehensive interregional partnership with a free trade agreement since 1999. Negotiations were conducted with ups and downs, suspended, and resumed over a period of more than 20 years, and up to Mercosur’s 30th anniversary there is still no free trade agreement ratified with the EU. Based on the broad literature on the relations between the EU and Mercosur (both by European and Latin American authors) and on the analysis of official documents and declarations from the EU and Mercosur, this paper proposes some explanations as to why these negotiations have progressed so slowly and faced so many obstacles.
URUGUAY COMO ESTADO PEQUEÑO EN EL MERCOSUR (1991-2020): UNA LECTURA DESDE LA AUTONOMÍA REGIONAL
Authors: Burian Camilo López , Míguez María Cecilia
Published: June 2021

Resumen Desde una perspectiva histórica, este trabajo caracteriza diferentes etapas de la política exterior de Uruguay frente al Mercosur. Dialoga teóricamente con el paradigma de la autonomía y sostiene que durante los gobiernos de izquierda existió una búsqueda de autonomía pero en una acepción particular, que remite a las características de un Estado pequeño. Esa búsqueda de autonomía solamente pudo ser posible en el contexto de un ciclo progresista con capacidad de acción colectiva. En ese marco, las élites gobernantes compartieron un objetivo: buscar potenciar la capacidad de agencia para conseguir autonomía. Como conclusión se presenta un concepto de autonomía regional que propone el carácter coconstitutivo de la autonomía y la integración regional, pensado desde el caso uruguayo como Estado pequeño.

Method: a qualitative research study, carried out with 23 teachers from two municipal elementary schools. Semi-structured interviews were used to produce empirical material. As an analytical resource, the content analysis technique, thematic modality, was used. Results: six thematic categories emerged in the set of empirical material: There is transgenderity in childhood; The construction of gender identity and roles in childhood; The experience of trans children in the school context; Trans children: How to deal with?; Discussing the differences in the classroom: Is this the way?; and Dilemmas of school and family interaction. It was found that the gender dichotomy is reinforced in the classroom, causing tensions and stereotyped divisions for male and female roles. Various forms of violence have been reproduced by classmates and teachers, who, due to lack of knowledge or to unpreparedness, reinforce concepts and attitudes that lead to the maintenance of exclusion. Conclusion: the schools find it difficult to promote the inclusion of trans children. It is necessary to create strategies aimed at raising awareness and training the professionals who make up the school environment, especially teachers in the initial grades.

Objective: to understand the perception of family members of psychoactive substance dependents on the elements of the functioning of their family in family resilience. Method: a qualitative approach study, based on the theoretical interpretive framework of family resilience from a systemic perspective. The participants were eleven family members of psychoactive substance dependents from a Psychosocial Care Center - Alcohol and Drugs, from a city in the state of São Paulo. For data collection, semi-structured interview, genogram and ecomap were used. Data analysis was based on the Content Analysis technique, thematic category. Results: from the interviews, three thematic categories were formulated: mobilization in search of support and social support; positive perspectives that would strengthen the family, and assertive communication. These categories point to references to the mobilization and unity of the family in search of social support in the intra-family, extended family and extra-family contexts and positive perspectives, such as persistence, perseverance, hope, faith and religiousness. Conclusion: the situation of having a psychoactive substance dependent in the family seemed to mobilize coping devices and attempts to overcome them through the resilience forces. The results may favor the daily clinical reasoning of the health professionals, helping them to recognize and value the identified resilience attributes.

Objective: to develop a theoretical model about the care of children with Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome in the family context. Method: the Straussian Grounded Theory and the theoretical/philosophical framework of Callista Roy and Leonardo Boff were used. It was carried out in northeastern Brazil, with 19 participants, in four sample groups. The data were collected and analyzed simultaneously, using the constant comparison method. Results: the theoretical model comprising the mother’s care for the child with Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome in the family context is formed by five categories: revealing family care, centered on the mother, to the child with the syndrome; identifying the maternal bond that determines the care for children with the syndrome in the family context; identifying the factors that hinder the mother’s care for the child with the syndrome; recognizing the evolution of the child with the syndrome in the face of early stimulation care; and recognizing harms due to the absence of early stimulus to children with the syndrome. Conclusion: the phenomenon runs through the care of the child with Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome, in the family context and centered on the mother, and is faced with the need for shared responsibility among the family members.

Objective: to adapt the Simulation Effectiveness Tool - Modified (SET-M) to Portuguese and to verify validity and reliability indexes. Method: methodological study using ISPOR, Confirmatory Factor Analysis, correlation between the adapted instrument/Simulation Design Scale - Student Version/Individual Practice Assessment and reliability (test-retest and internal consistency indexes). Convenience sample with a total of 435 Nursing undergraduate and graduate students. Results: Simulation Effectiveness Tool - Modified Brazilian Version obtained an average score between 2.36 to 2.94. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis had a factor load > 0.30 for 17 of the 19 items. Cronbach’s alpha ranged between 0.729 and 0.874. McDonald’s omega was 0.782. There was no correlation between Simulation Effectiveness Tool - Modified Brazilian Version and the Simulation Design or Individual Practical Assessment. There was a positive correlation between the Simulation Effectiveness Tool - Modified Brazilian Version and the participants’ age. The scores of the volunteers in the simulations were significantly higher than those of the observers in three domains. Conclusion: the SET-M Brazilian Version, maintaining the 19 items and four domains of the original scale, was made available for use in Brazil to evaluate the effectiveness of the simulation, recommending studies with different samples.

Resumo Contexto Os cateteres venosos centrais para hemodiálise (CVCH) de curta permanência (CCP) e cateteres tunelizáveis de longa permanência (CTLP) são fundamentais para a terapia hemodialítica. Entretanto, há escassa casuística nacional acerca da incidência de complicações desses dois tipos de cateteres. Objetivos Analisar as complicações e tempo de duração de CVCHs em centro de hemodiálise de hospital de ensino. Métodos Foi feito um estudo unicêntrico, longitudinal e retrospectivo de 115 pacientes consecutivos submetidos a implante de cateteres para hemodiálise (67 CCP e 48 CTLP) em um período de 2 anos, com análise de sobrevida geral, perviedade, perda do acesso e incidência de complicações. Resultados Sessenta por cento eram do sexo masculino e a média de idade foi de 62 anos. O principal sítio de punção foi a veia jugular interna direita. Hipertensão arterial sistêmica estava presente em 95% dos casos. A mediana de permanência do cateter foi de 50 dias (CCP) versus 112 dias (CTLP; p < 0,0001). Não houve diferença na sobrevida global. Infecção relacionada ao cateter apresentou maior incidência nos CCP, sendo Staphylococcus sp. o microrganismo mais encontrado. A taxa de infecção por 1.000 dias foi maior nos CCP em relação aos CTLP (16,7 eventos/1.000 dias versus 7,0 eventos/1.000 dias, respectivamente). Baixa renda foi o único fator relacionado a maior incidência de infecção. Conclusões O tempo de permanência dos CTLP foi significativamente maior que os CCP, porém ainda assim abaixo dos valores relatados na literatura e sem impacto na sobrevida global. Baixa renda foi um fator associado a infecção de cateter.
Immaterial labor and civil society organizations: an alternative to refugee ways of working and living

Published: June 2021

Abstract This article argues that Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) associated with immaterial labor can be favorable alternatives to refugee ways of working and living. We present and analyze the performance of three CSOs - in the areas of theater, handicraft, and gastronomy - aimed at the social and labor integration of refugees, based on the valorization of their savoir-faire and ethnic background. The cartographic method was adopted for qualitative exploratory research. The production and collection of data took place through interaction with managers, refugees, and products and services of the CSOs. Three axes of analysis were considered: (i) presentation of the mapped territory; (ii) CSOs modes of action - learning/teaching, (co)producing/exposing (oneself); (iii) (re)invent (oneself) by (co)operating in a network. The results indicate that, despite new global forms of subjection, CSOs associated with immaterial labor, forge and sustain a network of social, affective, productive, and emancipatory cooperation. This network protects work from the vampirization of the capital and becomes opportunities for refugees in which work and life are intertwined.
Immigration as practice of organization: discussions about practices of organization, displacement, and integration of Haitian immigrants in the Goiânia Metropolitan Region, in Goiás, Brazil
Authors: YAMAMOTO GABRIEL DO CARMO , OLIVEIRA JOSIANE SILVA DE
Published: June 2021

Abstract This study aims to discuss the practices of displacement and organization that are part of the process of integrating Haitian immigrants in the countries that they live, in their diaspora process. Haiti is a country historically marked by displacement, which is observed since the colonial period, when people were forcibly displaced to be enslaved. This article will focus on the process of displacement, through the theoretical lens of Practice-Based Studies, using Michel de Certeau’s theory about social practices, associated with the concepts of Tim Cresswell about displacement and immigration as practice. The research was conducted between August and December 2017 in two Haitian communities in the Goiânia Metropolitan Region, in the state of Goiás, located in Central-West Brazil. For the production of empirical material, we used the techniques of life history interview and participant observation, by accompanying the everyday life activities in the immigrant’s communities. The results show that the practice of displacement of Haitian immigrants is an unfinished and still in process phenomenon, involving different dimensions of events, with international, national, and commuting displacement. It was also possible to conclude that the displacement practices are permeated by organizational practices and that “organizing” and “migrating” are processes involved. In addition, the practice of organization is a key component for integration and access to the workplace in Brazil. Therefore, immigration can be considered sets of practices to organize mobility experiences that are spatially multi-localized and incorporated.
