A docência em Educação Física em tela: usos dos métodos (auto)biográficos em processos de investigação e formação
Authors: Plotegher Ândrea Tragino , Rodrigues Aline Britto , Wittizorecki Elisandro Schultz
Published: April 2023

Este texto objetiva dialogar com as escolhas teórico-metodológicas de duas pesquisadoras ao longo da formação inicial em Educação Física e na pós-graduação stricto sensu na mesma área, ambas realizadas na Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (UFES). Para tanto, elas recorrem às narrativas de formação para propor reflexões sobre desafios e potencialidades acerca das opções eleitas durante os trabalhos realizados. Como fonte, foram mobilizados diários de campo, memoriais de formação (com propósitos variados) e dissertações elaboradas no período das investigações. Como implicações dessas escolhas, encontram-se os seguintes aspectos: a) enquanto prática de formação utilizada em cursos de formação profissional, foi possível perceber lacunas, dificuldades e receios inscritos no momento de reflexão e escrita da própria história; b) já como prática de investigação, o método (auto)biográfico pode colaborar com a compreensão de trajetórias docentes, bem como com a produção de reflexões sobre como as/os docentes têm chegado e permanecido na profissão.
Resenha do livro Educação Física para a saúde: uma aposta em (form)ação
Authors: Freitas Adriano de Souza , Mezzaroba Cristiano
Published: April 2023

A presente resenha é sobre o livro “Educação Física para a Saúde: uma aposta em (form) ação” publicado em 2022 pelo Professor Victor José Machado de Oliveira. Segmentada em três capítulos, além do prefácio assinado pelo Professor Alex Branco Fraga (UFRGS) e das considerações finais (pautada em provocar movimentospensamentos), a referida obra discorre sobre a necessidade da Educação Física (EF) para a saúde, a qual é conceituada, caracterizada e delimitada a partir do conceito ampliado de saúde. A EF para saúde está relacionada também a questão “operacional” nas aulas, ou seja, a necessidade de considerar os eixos pessoal-individual, social e ecológico. Enquanto perspectiva para os docentes, há uma abordagem sobre a formação inicial e continuada, bem como provocações sobre como ampliar o conceito de saúde com enfoque no envolvimento coletivo. Portanto, é uma obra que traz informações, suscita pesquisa e promove inquietação na atuação no campo escolar.

Verbundgerecht profilierte Textilbetonbewehrungen
Authors: Cherif Chokri , Hahn Lars , Abdkader Anwar , Penzel Paul
Published: April 2023

Ressourcenschonend Bauen und dennoch ein hohes Leistungs­potenzial ausschöpfen, ist das überhaupt möglich? Am ITM wurden verbundgerecht profilierte Textilbetonbewehrungen sowie die dazugehörigen Fertigungstechnologien entwickelt, die genau dies ermöglichen. Auf Basis der Flecht- und Tränkumformtechnik wurden neuartig profilierte Bewehrungsgarne simulationsgestützt entwickelt, die analog zu gerippten Stahlbewehrungen einen sehr hohen Verbund mit der Betonmatrix aufweisen und das hohe Leistungspotenzial der Carbonfasern hinsichtlich der zugmechanischen Eigenschaften ausnutzen. Damit können die notwendige Verbundlänge für eine vollständige Kraftübertragung zwischen Textilbewehrung und ­Beton auf wenige Zentimeter und somit bis zu 80 % der bauteilabhängigen Überdimensionierung der Textilbewehrung eingespart werden.
Säureschutzmantel–Textilausrüstung zum Schutz gegen mikrobiellen Befall

Published: April 2023

Der pH-Wert der menschlichen Haut liegt nicht im neutralen Bereich, sondern ist mit Werten von 3,5-6 - je nach Körperstelle - leicht sauer. Dies bietet der kommensalen Hautflora einen geeigneten Lebensraum, wirkt jedoch abtötend auf einige pathogene Mikroorganismen und inaktivierend auf einige Viren. Dieser Säureschutzmantel der Haut stellt somit eine erste äußere Schutzschicht vor dem Befall von Krankheitserregern dar. Ein entsprechender Oberflächen-pH-Wert auf Textilien kann dazu beitragen, die Übertragung von Krankheitserregern durch die Kleidung von Mitarbeitern im Ge-sundheitswesen zu minimieren und gleichzeitig keinen negativen Einfluss auf die hauteigene Flora auszuüben. Zudem kann die Besiedlung von z.B. Bettwäsche durch pathogene Mikroorganismen vermindert werden. Einen positiven Einfluss kann dies zudem auf die bakterienassoziierte Geruchsbildung auf Funktionskleidung haben.

Signature works by carver Grigory Bondarevsky
Authors: Davydova Elena Vladimirovna
Published: April 2023

Kiev masters have not yet become the object of a separate study despite their cultural prominence in Russia. With rare exceptions, such examples of iconographic art can only be found in single copies in the catalogs of exhibitions and museum collections. The article is the first to present the collection and analyze signature works by a hitherto unknown Kiev carver Grigory Bondarevsky, active during the second third of the 19th century. They include four icons and one cross discovered in various museums and private collections across multiple cities. The difficulty in identifying these art objects is attributed to the fact that the artist did not always indicate his full name and surname, but more often carved only his initials. The examination of the artworks has made it possible to clarify the conception and intent behind them, determine the peculiarities of the author’s manner of carving and specific circumstances associated with their execution, as well as to roughly arrange them according to the chronology of creation. The narrative unfolding over several pieces depicting the scene of the “Dormition of the Mother of God”, immensely popular in Kiev, is linked to the tradition of making carved icons and crosses for Kiev pilgrims, however, they do not belong to mass production, but are custom made. To understand the technology of creating such handicraft items, a brief description of the Kiev carving industry is given, with the main source of information being a single publication from the middle of the 19th century. Archival documents reveal that the name of G. Bondarevsky was well-known in central Russia, where he enjoyed great prestige as an outstanding carver. His other artwork “Our Lady of Abalak”, as well as an altar cross portraying scenes from the Passion cycle, feasts and selected saints attest to his ties with Siberia.
Icons and iconographic samples. New touches to the iconography of the reliquary with the relics of st. Athanasius III Patellarios
Authors: Zelenina Yana Ernestovna
Published: April 2023

Since the 1660s, the incorruptible relics of the Patriarch of Constantinople Athanasius III (Patellarius), buried according to a Greek custom in a seated position, have been venerated in the Mgar Holy Transfiguration Monastery near the town of Lubny in the Poltava province of the historical Malorussian region. Due to the prolonged uncertainty concerning the official recognition of him as a saint, the iconography of the patriarch is virtually devoid of traditional iconographic images. Instead, small pilgrimage depictions of the shrine with his relics or the entire tomb complex have become widespread. The icons and iconographic samples found in museums and private collections, as well as documents on the transfer of the relics and the design of the reliquary, allow us to expand our understanding of the specifics and stages of development of this peculiar composition. The article brings to light several successive iconographic renditions, associated with the manufacture of a new reliquary and the saint’s increased veneration after the publication of hagiographic materials. While the majority of the surviving icons were made in the modern-day territories of Ukraine, they were in demand and copied by the masters of central Russia. The portrayals of Saint Athanasius III, created in the monastery workshops or commissioned by the Mgar monastery, characterize the little-known center of local icon painting of the late 18th – mid-19th centuries.

Authors: S. H. Savita , S. H. Shantala , P. P. Parwati , S. G. Shivprasad
Published: April 2023

Introduction and Aim: Physical fitness is a combination of several aspects rather than a single characteristic. Skill related components include agility, balance, coordination, these are regularly associated with motor skill performance. Composition of the body, its strength, endurance, flexibility, come under health-related components. Therefore, agility and flexibility are vital parameters for selection of wrestlers in various weight categories. The performance of the wrestlers is affected by reduced flexibility and agility. Ample literature is there in western countries in this area of research however very few studies have been performed on Indian wrestlers. Therefore, the foresaid project was started for assessing the effects of training and its interval on agility and flexibility with age and sex matched healthy controls and among wrestlers and to find the correlation between flexibility and agility, on skin fold thickness and BMI (if any).
 
Materials and Methods: flexibility was assed by sit and reach flexibility test and agility was tested with Illinois agility test for thirty-five wrestlers aged from eighteen to twenty-five years practicing regularly in district stadium was compared with age and sex matched controls.
 
Results: It was found that agility and flexibility were to be greater in wrestlers than controls and was significant statistically. Negative correlation was seen among BMI, flexibility, agility and Skin fold thickness, but not statistically significant.
 
Conclusion: It can be said that increased duration of training shows improvement in agility and flexibility thus decreasing the percentage of injury and refining the performance. Although there was no much difference with BMI and skin fold thickness with agility and flexibility.
Preclinical toxicological screening of Siddha medicine Ganthi Mezhugu by acute toxicity studies in Wistar albino rats
Authors: S. Yavanarani , R. Selvakumar , M. Sathiyabama
Published: April 2023

Introduction and Aim: Siddha formulations of drugs had been used for hundreds of years in international conventional drugs for his or her capacity fitness benefits. Ganthi Mezhugu (GM) has a wide range of therapeutic properties. The objective of the present research was to establish the safety profile of the experimental drug GM in a rat model by acute and sub-acute oral toxicity, as per OECD regulatory guidelines.
 
Materials and Methods: Acute toxicity testing is done for an animal species to determine the effects of a single dose on that species. In this investigation, acute toxicity was assessed using single oral administrations of 50 mg/kg, 300 mg/kg, and 2000 mg/kg. In the subacute investigation, the test substance GM was repeatedly dosed (4.68, 23.4, and 46.8 mg/kg/day) for 28 days followed by these hematological and biochemical parameters were assessed.
 
Results: The study's findings showed that after administering the test substance GM to experimental animals once or repeatedly, there was no evidence of toxicity and no deaths. The subacute toxicity study's GM treated groups' normal hematological and serological profiles provided additional evidence that the formulation is not harmful.
 
Conclusion: The finding of the study supported the notion that Siddha formulation GM is non-toxic and has a broad spectrum of safety.

Published: April 2023

Introduction and Aim: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) are the most common kind of cardiac disease that causes left ventricular asymmetric hypertrophy (LVH) or right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH) and non-dilated ventricular chambers. Heterozygous mutation in the MYH7 gene on chromosome 14 causes Left ventricular hypertrophy. The objective of our study was to unravel the mutation spectrum in HCM positive patients and find out novel mutation in MYH7 gene and the impact of these mutations on the pathophysiology of cardiac functioning.
 
Materials and Methods: Identification and confirmation of HCM patients was done on the basis of the thickness of the Interventricular septum and Left ventricular wall ( >13mm ; >15mm ). Extraction of DNA from the whole blood of HCM patients and healthy population using the standard phenol- chloroform  extraction method was carried out. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) was performed, and samples were processed for Sanger sequencing. Alter the structural arrangement and characteristics of respective mRNAs software’s RNA Fold Web server.
 
Results: We found a novel mutation in the MYH7 gene, which could cause phenotypic expressions similar to that of HCM.
 
Conclusion: Mutation in the gene may be responsible for causing hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The mutations reported in our study, are responsible to alter the structural arrangement and characteristics of respective mRNAs.

Authors: Naz Ruby , Sangwan Jyoti , J. Ramalingam Aishwarya , Khan Sameena
Published: April 2023

Introduction and Aim: Gram-negative bacterial infections have emerged as a global health problem in clinical care. They account for the majority of community and hospital acquired infections  which are resistant to various antimicrobials. The present study aimed to investigate the prevalence and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) isolated from various non-urinary samples at a tertiary care hospital in Haryana.
 
Materials and Methods: A total of 228 isolates were obtained from various clinical samples from January 2018 to July 2018 and were identified by standard bacteriological techniques. Antibiotic susceptibility testing was done using the disc diffusion technique by the Kirby Bauer method.
 
Results: Adult patients showed higher isolation of GNB (31%) as compared to paediatric patients (16.3%). The most common GNB isolated from blood   was Pseudomonas spp.(62%)  and Klebsiella spp.(66.7%) from respiratory samples  isolated in our study showed resistance to common antibiotics like gentamicin and ceftriaxone. Polymyxin B and Tigecycline were found to be sensitive.
 
Conclusion: Strict compliance with antimicrobial stewardship policy should be followed to reduce the menace of antibiotic resistance.
Role of CTLA-4, PD-1 and PD-L1 immune biomarkers among HCV patients undergoing hemodialysis
Authors: S. Jouda Ryiam , M. Ibrahim Basim , F. Al-Khafagi Ahmed
Published: April 2023

Introduction and Aim: One of the most prevalent diseases seen in Iraqi patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment for chronic renal disease is hepatitis C virus, also known as HCV infection (CKD). In this study, we intended to determine whether immune checkpoint biomarkers such as CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1 might be utilized to predict the outcome for hemodialysis patients who had HCV infection and CKD.
 
Materials and Methods:  The study comprised 90 Iraqi patients. The participants were separated into three groups: Group I (control group) consisted of those without viral infection. Group II consisted of 30 HCV-infected patients who did not receive antiviral medication, whereas Group III consisted of 30 HCV-infected patients who had had recent/previous antiviral drug treatment. ELISA was used to evaluate the serum predictive values of immunological biomarkers in all three groups of people. The collected results were statistically analyzed.
 
Results: Serum levels of the measured biomarkers were seen elevated among all individuals in Group I and II showing a high statistically significant difference between patients’ group and healthy controls. The area under the curve (AUC) for CTLA-4, PD-1, and PD-L1 was 93%, 99%, and 96%, respectively.
 
Conclusion: The prognostic factor-value of immune biomarkers investigated in this study could be used as predictors in patients with CKD and infected with HCV.

Published: April 2023

En este estudio fueron evaluadas algunas variedades de cítricos utilizadas como interinjertos en las características del crecimiento inicial de brote primario de la lima persa var. ‘Tahiti’ (Citrus x latifolia Tanaka ex Q. Jiménez) y su relación con características del tallo. Se utilizaron como interinjertos trifoliado ‘Flying Dragon’ (Poncirus trifoliata var. ‘Monstruosa’), trifoliado ‘Rubidoux’ (P. trifoliata var. ‘Rubidoux’) y la propia lima ‘Tahiti’; y como portainjertos se utilizó el naranjo ‘Agrio’ (C. aurantium L.) y limón ‘Volkameriano’ (C. volkameriana Tenn. & Pasq.). Se realizó un diseño de tratamientos factorial 2 x 4. Se midieron siete variables del crecimiento inicial del injerto y seis características del tallo y se correlacionaron entre ellas. El ‘Agrio’ con los interinjertos redujo la longitud, velocidad de crecimiento, diámetro y longitud de entrenudos del brote primario en 18, 22, 12 y 14 % menos respecto a ‘Volkameriano’ con los interinjertos. ’Rubidoux’ sobre ‘Volkameriano’ tuvo los valores más altos en seis variables del crecimiento, pero combinado con ‘Agrio’ indujo características de enanismo en el brote primario de lima ‘Tahiti’. El diámetro de tallo de ambos portainjertos se afectó por el interinjerto. ´Rubidoux’ incrementó el diámetro de ‘Volkameriano’ pero no el de ‘Agrio’, mientras que ‘Flying Dragon’ presentó mayor diámetro que su portainjerto. Se encontraron correlaciones bajas ( -0.22 a 0.50) del diámetro del portainjerto y del interinjerto; del grosor de la corteza del portainjerto y del interinjerto con todas las variables del crecimiento del brote primario de lima ‘Tahiti’.
Let's report our rivals: how Chinese fandoms game content moderation to restrain opposing voices
Authors: Zhao Andy , Chen Zhaodi
Published: April 2023

While crowdsourcing approaches in content moderation systems increase the governance capacity of social media, they also offer a loophole for malicious users to massively report and restrict disliked content. To fill the knowledge gap about large-scale, bottom-up attempts at restraining online expressions, we focus on a type of public and institutionalized mass reporting: anti-smear (反黑) campaigns within Chinese online fandom communities, where fans coordinate together and collectively report content they perceive as inappropriate. Based on detailed data of more than two hundred anti-smear groups collected from Weibo and interviews with active participants, our paper examines the motives and dynamics of anti-smear campaigns, the coordination strategies used to game the content moderation system, and the diffusion of anti-smear culture among fandom networks. We argue that anti-smear is essentially a practice of information control and reflects an intolerant mindset of social media users towards dissidents. This paper also points out the vulnerability of community-based content moderation systems to be weaponized in a polarized age, which brings great challenges to platform governance.

Abstract. One side effect of the Spring 2020 COVID-19 lockdowns was a rapid reduction in aerosol and aerosol precursor emissions. These emission reductions provide a unique opportunity for model evaluation, and to assess the potential efficacy of future policy decisions. We investigate changes in observed regional aerosol burdens during the COVID-19 lockdowns, and compare these observed anomalies to predictions from Earth System Models forced with COVID-19-like reductions in aerosol and greenhouse gas emissions. Despite the dramatic economic and lifestyle changes associated with the pandemic, most anthropogenic source regions do not exhibit detectable changes in satellite retrievals of total or dust-subtracted aerosol optical depth. Only India exhibits an aerosol optical depth anomaly that exceeds internal variability. These conclusions are broadly reproduced by Earth System Models when confounding factors have been accounted for. We present a systematic assessment of the contributions of internal variability, model input uncertainty, and observational sampling to the aerosol signal, and highlight the impacts of observational uncertainty on model evaluation analyses. These results are encouraging, suggesting that current Earth System Models may be able to realistically capture the effects of future emission reductions.

Abstract. Vegetation plays a key role in the hydrological and
biogeochemical cycles. It can influence soil water fluxes and transport, which are critical for chemical weathering and soil development. In this
study, we investigated soil water balance and solute fluxes in two soil
profiles with different vegetation types (cushion-forming plants vs. tussock
grasses) in the high Ecuadorian Andes by measuring soil water content, flux,
and solute concentrations and by modeling soil hydrology. We also analyzed
the role of soil water balance in soil chemical weathering. The influence of
vegetation on soil water balance and solute fluxes is restricted to the A
horizon. Evapotranspiration is 1.7 times higher and deep drainage 3 times lower under cushion-forming plants than under tussock grass. Likewise,
cushions transmit about 2-fold less water from the A to lower horizons. This is attributed to the higher soil water retention and saturated
hydraulic conductivity associated with a shallower and coarser root system.
Under cushion-forming plants, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and metals (Al, Fe) are mobilized in the A horizon. Solute fluxes that can be related to plant nutrient uptake (Mg, Ca,
K) decline with depth, as expected from biocycling of plant nutrients. Dissolved silica and bicarbonate are minimally influenced by vegetation and
represent the largest contributions of solute fluxes. Soil chemical
weathering is higher and constant with depth below tussock grasses but lower and declining with depth under cushion-forming plants. This difference in soil weathering is attributed mainly to the water fluxes. Our findings
reveal that vegetation can modify soil properties in the uppermost horizon, altering the water balance, solute fluxes, and chemical weathering
throughout the soil profile.
Vedação à ingerência e necessidade de avaliação consequencialista aos limites do poder fiscalizatório e decisório do Tribunal de Contas da União em relação às sociedades de economia mista exploradoras de atividade econômica

The present work has as its development scope a critical-reflexive analysis about the occurrence of a Federal Court of Accounts activism that, sometimes, improperly and abusively, acts as if it were the administrator himself, performing even the judgment of convenience and opportunity; that is, the controller doing the administrator’s times. In this sense, it is also intended to expose eventual problems arising from this undue interference by the control body in relation to the managers, which affect the country’s development, as well as discouraging foreign investments. This paper will specifically address the situation of mixed-economy companies that exploit economic activity (S.M.E), which, although they belong to the indirect public administration, operate on a competitive basis and have legal status of the other private companies, needing to carry out their activities with agility and compatible with its market, as well as the transaction costs resulting from such interference. It also stresses the importance not only of avoiding such interference but of weighing the consequences of its decisions. In order to do so, the current institutional position of the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) in the Brazilian State and its main competences, especially those of a decision-making character, will be approached in order to demonstrate the influence of these in the aforementioned activism.
Consideraciones a propósito de terkininei y eskenim del bronce de Torrijo [TE.03.01] y el uso del sistema dual de escritura en celtibérico
Authors: Jordán Cólera Carlos
Published: April 2023

El autor plantea nuevas interpretaciones fonéticas para dos palabras que aparecen en el bronce celtibérico de Torrijo: terkininei y eskenim. A partir de ellas explora nuevas posibilidades morfo-etimológicas. Para terkininei propone [tregnīney], dativo singular de un posible tema en -i *tregnīnis. eskenim podría leerse [eχskenim] y caben, al menos, dos interpretaciones morfo-etimológicas: *egʰs-ken-is  o *egʰs-kenh1-is. Se comentan también otras formas cercanas como eskeinis, eskeninum, genis y gentis. Finalmente realiza una serie de reflexiones sobre el sistema dual de escritura en varios documentos celtibéricos.
Χαραδριοῦ βίος: ¿vida de alcaraván o de torrente? Algunas consideraciones sobre Gorgias 494b
Authors: Míguez Lamanuzzi Marina
Published: April 2023

El objetivo del presente trabajo es revisar la interpretación tradicional del pasaje de Gorgias 494b, donde Sócrates dice a Calicles χαραδριοῦ τινα αὖ σὺ βίον λέγεις, que por lo general se ha entendido como «tú, por contra, te refieres a una vida del chorlito». Sin embargo, consideramos que Sócrates podría estar refiriéndose no tanto al χαραδριός, un ave cuya identificación es incierta, sino al χαράδριον, diminutivo de χαράδρα, ‘pequeño torrente’. Para justificar nuestra propuesta, analizamos los testimonios eruditos antiguos (los escolios y obras lexicográficas y paremiográficas) que comentan este pasaje, así como otros en los que se menciona el χαραδριός; en segundo lugar, analizamos el uso del término en otros testimonios literarios y, por último, el contexto semántico y pragmático de la expresión χαραδριοῦ τινα βίον en Grg. 494b.
La estructura común del hexámetro dactílico y el trímetro yámbico en la poesía griega arcaica
Authors: García Novo Elsa
Published: April 2023

Teniendo en cuenta las bases de la métrica funcional, pongo de relieve que tanto el hexámetro dactílico como el trímetro yámbico, en la poesía griega arcaica, responden a una misma estructura. Son versos recitados de doce componentes en perfecta alternancia: seis componentes monosilábicos (M) y seis componentes potencialmente bisilábicos (D), que presentan marcas de final de verso, así como posiciones de corte (cesuras) y posiciones en las que se evita (puentes), respondiendo a las mismas causas. Cada uno de ellos presenta un solo tipo de ritmo (- ⏑ - ó - ⏑ ⏑ -), que tiene que aparecer por lo menos una vez en cada verso. El tetrámetro trocaico es una ampliación del trímetro yámbico. Estos tres versos acaban necesariamente en un componente potencialmente bisilábico (D), reducido a una sola sílaba larga. Se hace una descripción del dístico elegiaco, mostrando que su primer verso es un hexámetro recitado, mientras que el segundo tiene un primer colo de alternancia perfecta M/D, mientras que el segundo presenta un esquema fijo a base de componentes monosilábicos, al estilo de la poesía lírica: MDMDM / MMMMMMM //. Sirve así de puente entre el verso recitado y el κῶλον lírico.
La eficacia de la terapia cognitivo-conductual para el duelo prolongado
Authors: Sanz Molina Belén , Sanz Cortés Ana , Cruzado Juan Antonio
Published: April 2023

Antecedentes: El Duelo Prolongado (DP) es una forma patológica del duelo dados los síntomas patentes y el tiempo que perduran, generando malestar y limitando la funcionalidad psicosocial. Durante años se ha empleado la Terapia Cognitivo-Conductual (TCC) para el tratamiento del DP, pero se sugiere que la activación conductual no específica es suficiente, se hallan fallos metodológicos en las muestras de TCC, o se cuestiona si es necesaria la exposición. Objetivo: Analizar si la TCC es realmente eficaz para mejorar el DP en adultos. Método: Se realizó una revisión sistemática mediante la búsqueda en las bases de datos Medline, PsycINFO, PubMed, Scopus y Web of Science desde junio de 2022 hasta febrero de 2023, así como mediante una comunicación personal. Se identificaron 9 estudios que cumplían los criterios de inclusión y exclusión establecidos. Resultados: Se comparan las evaluaciones basales, del postratamiento y seguimiento. Todos los estudios reflejan mejorías superiores en la condición de TCC frente a otras modalidades terapéuticas o frente a la propia TCC sin exposición, a excepción de uno que establece igualdad de eficacia con Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Se analiza el riesgo de sesgo siguiendo los criterios Cochrane, presentando una adecuada calidad metodológica; el nivel de evidencia científica, 1+; y el grado de recomendación, A. Conclusiones: Los resultados respaldan la eficacia de la TCC para el tratamiento del DP en la población adulta, aunque es fundamental realizar nuevos estudios que fortalezcan esta evidencia. Hasta entonces, se recomienda su aplicación a quienes padezcan DP.
“¡Ay, si es un mosquito de mierda!”: dengue y acceso a los servicios de salud de un municipio de Buenos Aires

Published: April 2023

En Argentina, el dengue ha demostrado su poder de propagación una vez más, entre 2019 y 2020, mixturándose con el principio de la pandemia del COVID-19. Para reflexionar acerca de las fallas en el control y prevención de esta enfermedad, nuestro trabajo tiene como objetivo amplio comprender los sentidos y prácticas que diferentes actores y actoras en un municipio del conurbano de Buenos Aires establecen en torno a la problemática del dengue. Nuestro objetivo particular es analizar cómo las dificultades de acceso a los servicios sanitarios, en la dimensión organizacional y psico-socio-cultural en un municipio de la provincia de Buenos Aires, podrían estar vinculadas a la aparición de brotes de dengue que se observan en los registros oficiales. Hallamos problemas vinculados a la alta demanda de las guardias de los hospitales públicos y a la obtención de turnos. Observamos la falta de acciones de control de foco y bloqueos químicos en las casas de las personas afectadas por dengue, demoras o dificultades en la concurrencia a los servicios de salud por parte de las vecinas y los vecinos, y la consideración de la enfermedad entre las vecinas como problema de salud leve, significación que se deshace ante la vivencia corporal del dengue.
Public Policy Issues in the Context of Public Sector Reforms: A Qualitative Storytelling of a Former Government Department in the Asia-Pacific Region
Authors: Chowdhury Anup , Chandra Shil Nikhil
Published: April 2023

Predominantly public policy is a set of guidelines initiated by the government of a country to work in favour of mass people or the public. We showcase and represent public policy materials against the backdrop of being involved in the process of accountability, transparency, and efficient and effective administration and program delivery. In addition, the selected government department used private-sector management control technologies to deal with the public-sector reform initiatives. These elements are considered part of the modern approach to public administration also. The study may be useful to policymakers formulating new public sector policies. Moreover, the findings reported in this study would be useful to public sector managers in their daily decision-making process.
