Published: September 2019

Background and purpose: Stunting in children is a chronic nutritional concern that has short-term and long-term health effects. Several studies have shown inconsistent results related to the association between stunting and anemia and increased maternal weight during pregnancy. This study aims to determine anemia during pregnancy, increased body weight and weight gain during pregnancy based on body mass index (BMI) before pregnancy stunting with.Method: A case control study was carried out using the baseline data of an intervention studyconducted from April to September to prevent stunting in children aged 6-23 months in nine villages in Bangli District, Bali Province. Baseline data collection was conducted from December 2017â€“February 2018 by interviews with 330 mothers of the children and observation of their ANC records. The number of samples for the case control study was 156 children aged 6-23 months consisting of 78 cases and 78 controls (1:1). Cases were selected by systematic random sampling from 82 children with stunting and controls were selected in the same way from 248 children without stunting. Data analyzed were maternal age at pregnancy, education, employment, number of children, family income, height, hemoglobin level and maternal body weight during pregnancy. Multivariate analysis with logistic regression was conducted to determine the adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of each risk factor.Results: The increase in maternal weight during pregnancy which is not in accordance with maternal BMI before pregnancy and an increase in maternal weight of <10 or >12.5 kilograms are significantly associated with stunting with AOR=3.53 (95%CI: 1,55-8.07) and AOR=3.31 (95%CI: 1.24-8.85). Hemoglobin <11gr/dL during pregnancy was not found to be significantly associated with stunting (AOR=5.02; 95%CI: 0.80â€“31.71).Conclusion: The increase of maternal weight during pregnancy which is not suitable with BMI before pregnancy and an increase in maternal weight of <10 or >12.5 kilograms are risk factors for stunting in children aged 6-23 months. In addition to monitoring the increase of maternal weight during pregnancy, it is important to consider the mother's BMI before pregnancy in order to reduce the risk of stunting.

Background and purpose: Pentavalent booster immunization coverage inÂ  Denpasar City is reported to be relatively low. This study aims to determine the prevalence and determinants of pentavalent immunization uptake.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in one banjar (hamlet) which was selected purposively in the work area of Public Health Centre (PHC) I West Denpasar, Bali Province. Banjar was selected with consideration of the diversity of local residents and migrants. All mothers who had children aged 3-5 years (138 people) in the banjar were chosen as respondents. Interviews were conducted in each respondent's house with variables included age, education, employment, parity, region of origin, knowledge on immunization, perception of susceptibility to and severity of disease, perceptions of benefits and barriers to immunization, sources of information, family support and acceptance of immunization. Data analysis was performed with poisson regression to determine the determinants of pentavalent booster immunization.Results: The majority of respondents were aged <30 years, high school education or above, unemployed, had 1-2 children and were from Bali. The proportion of respondents who reported that their children had been given pentavalent immunization in children aged three to five years was found to be 78.3%. Immunization prevalence was found to be higher in the population that originated from Bali (82.1%). Determinants of pentavalent immunization are perceptions of benefits (APR=4.78; 95%CI: 1.35-16.96), and more sources of information (APR=1.21; 95%CI: 1.04-1.41).Conclusion: The prevalence of pentavalent booster immunization is found to be lower than the average prevalence of the Bali Province but higher than the reported coverage of Denpasar City. The determinants of immunization acceptance was perception of high benefits and more sources of information. Information dissemination on the benefits of pentavalent booster immunization in children needs to be enhanced through health workers and various media to increase the coverage of pentavalent immunization.

Published: September 2019

Background and purpose: There are indications that the prevalence of obesity among adolescents is increasing which is one of the main factors of hypertension. This study aims to determine the association between hypertension among obese adolescents with physical activity, fiber and salt intake.Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design among obese adolescents aged 12-15 years. The study was conducted at 6 public/private middle schools in the North Denpasar Sub-district, Denpasar City, Bali Province. The samples of 203 children were selected from the results of obesity screening conducted by North Denpasar III Public Health Center (PHC). Data collection was conducted over July-September 2018 with data included social demographics, body weight and height, blood pressure, consumption frequency of vegetables, fruits and high salt content foods, and physical activity carried out in the past week. Data analysis with logistic regression was conducted to determine the association between physical activity, fiber and salt intake with hypertension among obese adolescents.Results: This study found that of 203 respondents,14.8% had hypertension. Multivariate analysis showed that hypertension in obese adolescents was associated with salt intake â‰¥1500 mg/day with adjusted odd ratio (AOR) of 5.19 (95%CI: 2.20-12.22), inadequate physical activity (AOR=5.87; 95%CI: 1.19-29.00) and inadequate fiber intake (AOR=2.43; 95%CI: 0.27-21.76).Conclusion: Salt intake â‰¥1500 mg/day and inadequate physical activity are associated with hypertension among obese adolescents. A reduction in the consumption of processed foods that are high in salt and increasing physical activity would improve adolescent health.
Simulation of spatial variation of plankton communities in the South Central Vietnam sea by ROMS model
Authors: Vui Vu Thi
Published: September 2019

This study preliminarily applies the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) in the two major monsoon seasons (Northeast and Southwest monsoons) for the South Central Vietnam sea (9–14.5oN, 105–112oE), in which the hydrodynamic and ecological modules are coupled. The results show that the plankton only develop in 200 m water on the top, concentrated mainly in the 0–70 m layer and in maximum biomass of 15–40 m layer. In the Northeast monsoon season, the plankton are concentrated mainly in the northern part and open seas of the area, while in the Southwest monsoon season, they are concentrated in the upwelling and adjacent southern areas. These results correctly reflect the basic law of the development of plankton communities in the sea area.

Organochlorinated pesticides (OCPs) had been used widely in agriculture for protecting crop, eliminating insects. However, OCPs are banned in most countries because of their toxicity, long persistence and bio-accumulation. They are listed in carcinogen group and POP group (Persistent organic pollutants). In Vietnam, OCPs were banned in 1990s, but their residues are still found in the environments, including seawater, sediment and organisms. This paper presents the survey data of residues of OCPs in some organisms living in tidal flats in the northern part of Vietnam during the year 2013–2014. The results show that the total residue of OCPs in shellfish ranged from 5.57 µg/kg to 116.04 µg/kg dry weight. Compared with the American Guide for mollusk shellfish (2007), it is found that the organisms living in the tidal flats were not polluted by OCPs. However, these compounds can be accumulated in fat tissue even in very low concentration. Therefore, their presence in organism is alarming.

Published: September 2019

The central coast of Vietnam is frequently prone to storms and floods. Aside from wind damages during storms, the effect of storm surges, which includes wave set-up, on the coast and coastal infrastructures is very severe. Therefore calculation and prediction of wave set-up and storm surges are significant, both scientifically and practically, to serve as scientific bases for sustainable coastal planning, development and protection. This paper presents the study results on nearshore wave propagation and transformation, as well as the distribution of wave set-up during storms in the coastal area of Cua Dai, Hoi An, using SWAN and SWASH models. The models are thoroughly tested against wave and water level data series collected during a campaign in the project framework. The simulation results show the overall picture of the nearshore wave field and the surge height induced by waves during a storm event along Cua Dai, Hoi An coast. The research output also indicates that wave set-up contributes an important part to the extreme water level of the local nearshore area during storms.

Although seaweeds and seagrasses have been used for food and traditional medicine for centuries, merely a small amount of them is exploited and used. Positive biological activities of seaweed and seagrass products on humans, animals and plants have also been recorded for a long time. Vietnam is a tropical country with 3,260 km long coastline and about 350 species of seaweeds, including 60 widely used species. In this study, 57 seaweed and seagrass samples were extracted using CHCl3/MeOH solvent systems and their crude extracts were tested for selected biological actives, including antimicrobial, antioxidant activities and cytotoxicity. The results revealed that 13 out of 57 extracts (accounting for 24.07%) were cytotoxic to one of the two tested cancer cell lines (Hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Hep-G2 and human lung adenocarcinoma cell line LU-1), and 4 extracts (accounting for 7.4%) were cytotoxic to both cancer cell lines. In antimicrobial activity assay, 18 of all 57 extracts (accounting for 37.5%) were capable of inhibiting 1 to 2 test microorganisms and 16 extracts (accounting for 33.33%) inhibited at least 3 test microorganisms. There were solely 1 extract (accounting for 1.85%) of the 57 extracts performing antioxidant activity in DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay.

The Islamic pastoral Afars inhabit the northeastern rangelands of Ethiopia. Some have settled in towns and trade centers where the Ethiopian state is present with the police and other government officials. The Ethiopian government is working on implementing state laws on the Afar who previously lived outside the regulations of the state. Now, however, many Afars have a foot in both sectors, having a home in town while maintaining close contact with their nomadic relatives. Hussein Hayie has a government position as Peace and Security officer. His work is to judge whether an incident should be handled as a criminal case for the police or be left as a case to be solved the traditional way by the elders of the clans. The Afar political organization is based on both territory and kinship. The political institutions are geared towards social control and the resolution of conflicts. The tribal leaders are often called upon to intervene before a small matter escalates to homicide and if a homicide occurs, to work out agreements of compensation in order to avoid blood-feuds. The film follows Hussein Hayie in town and when he visits his families in the nomadic camps. As a government employee, he is continuously on duty and in the film we see how he is called to act. However, Hussein is constantly treading a thin line in when negotiating cases a society existing both outside and inside the state. 36 mins. 2014.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT Purpose: To present the meta-analysis technique as a strategy applied to bibliometric research, in order to unveil the state of the art of the international scientific production, its interactions as areas of knowledge, the collaboration among authors and institutions in the Business Administration area, based in the period from 1998 and 2017. Originality/value: In the initially applied exploratory research, it was observed a gap in the debate of using meta-analysis as a state of the art investigation resource in the Business Administration area. The meta-analysis used as a research instrument makes possible a strict association of several studies. Design/methodology/approach: It is a qual-quant research approach, of exploratory character, outlined through bibliographic research. As for the investigation mechanism, it was used meta-analysis as a systematic investigation. The development of the research was divided into two phases. The first, called macro-analysis, and the second, micro-analysis. Findings: Research results showed that the number of bibliometric studies published in the second decade of the studied period was significantly higher. The publication areas, within the scope of Administration, were also affected by important changes, comparing the analyzed periods, evidencing a growth in publications between 2008 and 2018 in the areas of planning and management. As practical applications, it is possible, from this study, to use the publications and analyses to better understand how, when and by whom the bibliometrics was made, that is, denser and deeper bibliometric studies, which can highlight trends in a certain study area.
Corpo infectado/corpus infectado: aids, narrativa e metáforas oportunistas
Authors: Alós Anselmo Peres
Published: September 2019

Resumo: A constante presença do corpo nas narrativas de aids (e a consequente problematização do seu status ontológico) é apenas uma recorrência temática, ou estaria ligada a processos metafóricos e alegóricos que apontam para uma discussão para além da corporeidade humana? Mais do que isso, constantes em todas as narrativas de aids são a urdidura que confronta, simultaneamente, uma micropolítica do desejo, relacionada ao exercício ascético com a construção do si mesmo através da dicção literária (não raro extrapolando os limites entre ficção e biografia), e uma preocupação com os compromissos do discurso literário com a vida política e social de seus respectivos países de origem.

Resumo Introdução A contaminação das restaurações de zircônia com saliva antes da cimentação influencia na resistência da adesão face à afinidade com os íons da saliva. Objetivo Analisar os métodos de limpeza da zircônia na adesão à dentina após a contaminação com saliva. Material e método Oitenta amostras de zircônia com dimensão 4×11×3 mm foram cortadas de blocos pré-sinterizados (3Y-TZP, In-Ceram - VITA) e sinterizadas. Após a sinterização, as amostras foram jateadas com partículas de óxido de alumínio, lavadas em água destilada e divididas em dois grupos com base no tipo de cimento de adesão: RelyX U200 Clicker® (grupo R) ou Multilink N® (grupo M). As amostras foram divididas em quatro subgrupos (n=10) de acordo com os métodos de limpeza e com o tipo de cimento: RG1 e MGI (sem contaminação com saliva); RG2 e MG2 (sem contaminação e limpeza com Ivoclean®); RG3 e MG3 (com contaminação e limpeza com água); RG4 e MG4 (com contaminação e limpeza com Ivoclean®). Após a cimentação, as amostras foram armazenadas em água por 10 dias. A resistência da adesão foi determinada pelo teste de cisalhamento. Resultado Os resultados mostraram que a maior e a menor resistência foram do Grupo RG2 e MG2, respectivamente. Entre as amostras cimentadas com RelyXTM, somente o grupo RG4 apresentou diferença na resistência da adesão (p=0,018) em relação aos demais subgrupos. Entre os grupos cimentados com Multilink N®, não houve diferença estatística (p>0,05) na resistência. Conclusão Os resultados mostraram que o agente de limpeza Ivoclean® não foi efetivo na descontaminação e não influenciou na resistência ao cisalhamento.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT Chrysodeixis includens is an important pest of soybean crop who has gained more visibility in the Brazilian Cerrado due to damage caused in this region. Foliar consumption, feeding period and mortality level of soybean loopers in laboratory, as well as their control in the field conditions, were evaluated after application of the ChinNPV virus in soybean plants. In the laboratory, were tested six concentrations of isolate Chin-IA (I-A) (1 × 1011, 2 × 1011, 4 × 1011, 6 × 1011, 8 × 1011 and 10 × 1011 PIB ha-1), one dose of methomyl chemical insecticide (172 g ai ha-1) and distilled water (control). The field experiment was carried out in the 2016/2017 season using the same cultivar and laboratory treatments, except for the lowest virus concentration. The population density of small and large larvae was evaluated before and at 5, 8 and 12 days after application (DAA) of the treatments in soybean plants. All concentrations of the isolate Chin-IA (I-A) have reduced the soybean loopers consumption and their feeding period, showing 100% of mortality after 3 – 4 days without differing from treatment with the chemical insecticide. After eight DAA of virus in the field, the population density of small and large larvae was reduced, providing satisfactory levels of control. These results showed the evident potential of ChinNPV in the reduction of defoliation power and maintenance the soybean loopers population under of control level, and thus may be used as complementary method in the integrated management of this pest in soybean crops.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT Brain lesion studies currently employ techniques such as computed tomography, functional magnetic resonance imaging, single photon emission tomography and positron emission tomography. Famous neuropsychologist Alexander Romanovich Luria’s studies on cognition were conducted without the use of imaging technology for many years, in a large number of patients with brain lesions, and explored complex behavior and specific brain functions involving the lobes and subareas. For instance, he carried out several specific studies on memory and mental organization, reported in his books. The objective of this study is to associate recent studies in neuropsychology with Luria’s work specifically on the temporal lobe. According to the data studied, Luria’s epistemological foundation remains the basis for neuropsychological studies today, but new data on the temporal lobe in relation to epilepsy and hippocampus analysis have been introduced into the scope of neuropsychology. This study focuses on earlier data from Luria’s studies on the neuropsychological functions of the temporal lobe, comparing these with more recent data. However, in order to improve clinical aspects, a detailed study on the neuropsychological tests used for the temporal lobe should be performed.

ABSTRACT This systematic review examined the evidence about the effects of virtual reality (VR) on dual-task gait training in Parkinson's disease (PD). Methods: this study (PROSPERO registration CRD42019114736) aimed to answer the question: “Is VR beneficial for dual-task gait training in patients with PD?” We searched for studies from 2008 to 2018 on Medline/PubMed and Web of Science/Web of knowledge databases. The keywords were Parkinson AND gait training AND virtual reality OR Parkinson AND gait training AND game. A total of 55 articles were retrieved, of which 11 systematic reviews, 11 opinions, letters to the editor, posters or conferences abstracts and 17 studies not evaluating the effects of VR gait training were excluded. Three further studies addressing VR dual-task gait training in PD (found in references of studies selected) were also included. Therefore, 19 studies were included and analysed. Results: all studies reported gait improvement after VR training. Many clinical scales were used, hampering comparison of the effects of each protocol. Conclusion: VR dual-task gait training should be part of rehabilitation protocols for PD. The studies showed that VR training was effective, although specific guidelines have not yet been established.

ABSTRACT Some cognitive dimensions, such as attention, memory and executive functions, may decline with age, while other functions remain intact or even improve due to greater life experience. Objective: to analyze the relationship between cognitive processing, language and verbal fluency among elderly individuals seen by primary healthcare services located in a city in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. Methods: a cross-sectional study with a quantitative method was conducted. A total of 149 elderly individuals were assessed through previously scheduled interviews. Data collection included a questionnaire on sociodemographic data and the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination - Revised (ACE-R). Cognitive processing (P300) was assessed using a device that captures potentials elicited in auditory tasks. Descriptive analysis and Spearman's correlation were performed with the level of significance established at 5%. Results: a negative correlation was found between language and P300 latency, while a positive correlation was found between verbal fluency and P300 amplitude. Comprehension and naming tasks showed a negative correlation with latency. The repetition task revealed a positive correlation with P300 amplitude. Conclusion: although more extensive testing is needed, these findings suggest that language correlates with P300 latency, whereas verbal fluency correlates with P300 amplitude.

ABSTRACT Hemodialysis (HD) is a common treatment for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Objective: the objective of the present study was twofold. First, to assess the level of physical activity and cognitive function in hemodialysis (HD) patients and, second, to compare cognitive function of active and insufficiently active HD patients. Methods: the sample consisted of 84 HD patients. Data collection took place in two different Renal Replacement Therapy Units (RRTU) in Brazil. A sociodemographic and clinical structured interview, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) and the Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R) were used for data collection. The Mann Whitney U-test was used to compare cognitive function between groups. The significance level adopted was p≤.05. Results: the majority of the patients were insufficiently active. The total average score on the cognitive test was lower than recommended and physically active HD patients had a significant score in the fluency domain. Conclusion: we found that HD patients are at greater risk of developing cognitive deficits. Physical activity was shown to be a potential non-pharmacological, low-cost therapeutic alternative for improving cognitive abilities in HD patients. The present study can help health professionals to encourage HD patients to engage in regular physical activity and contributes to the development of specific protocols for these patients.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT Alzheimer's disease (AD) has heterogeneous clinical presentations. Amnestic progressive disorder leading to dementia is the most typical, but non-amnestic presentations are also recognized. Here we report a case of frontal variant of AD. A right-handed woman, aged 68 years, was referred for progressive behavioral disorders and personality changes. She had a corroborated history of dietary changes, hyperorality, impulsivity, affective indifference and apathy, with functional impairment. Cognitive assessment yielded severe executive deficits. Positron emission tomography with fluorodeoxyglucose showed marked hypometabolism in frontotemporal regions, with relative preservation of parietal regions. CSF AD biomarkers showed low Aβ42, high Tau and high P-Tau. The patient fulfilled criteria for probable behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia. However, considering the AD pathophysiological signature on CSF biomarkers, a diagnosis of frontal variant of AD was established. In the perspective of disease-modifying therapies, it is important to identify atypical Alzheimer presentations, as these patients may be candidates for specific treatments.

Published: September 2019

Abstract Objective: To analyze the interventions carried out with elderly persons classified according to the Fried frailty phenotype criteria and the outcomes obtained. Method: The PubMed, Embase, Scopus, CINAHL, PEDro, SciELO, BVS and Web of Science portals were used, and a manual search was applied to identify the interventions implemented in elderly persons aged over 60 years, which were able to modify the scores of the frailty phenotype criteria and other outcomes. Results: The final sample totaled 14 randomized clinical trials published between 2001 and 2018. The combined interventions of exercise, orientation and nutritional supplementation with or without cognitive training presented better outcomes for the frailty criteria and other clinical outcomes in pre-frail and frail elderly persons living in the community and in long-term care facilities. Conclusion: The implementation of combined interventions sustains frailty as a reversible and multifactorial syndrome.

Abstract Objective: To compare the social support network and expectation of care among elderly persons who live alone and those who live with others. Method: A cross-sectional study with 348 elderly people living in the community in the municipal region of Várzea Grande, Mato Grosso, Brazil was performed. The elderly were interviewed using a questionnaire composed of socio-demographic issues; evaluation tools of basic and instrumental activities of daily living; and care expectation and perceived social support network. The data were submitted to descriptive and comparative statistical analysis, the chi-squared test or Fisher’s exact test at a significance level of 5%. Results: Most of the interviewees were younger elderly women. Of these,14.66% lived alone and 85.34% lived with other people, with mainly bi-generation family arrangements. The majority stated that they had fair health, had up to two diseases, were dependent in instrumental activities of daily living and independent in self-care activities. Elderly persons who lived with others relied on their family, and the expectation of care was aimed at a daughter or daughter-in-law; while those who lived alone expected to rely on neighbors or friends to help with their tasks, if needed. Conclusion: Family members are the greatest providers of support and care, and the elderly hope to count on them when they need help in carrying out basic and instrumental activities of daily living.
Comparison of Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli molecular detection in heat-treated sugarcane setts1
Authors: Dias Vanessa Duarte , Carrer Filho Renato , Cunha Marcos Gomes da
Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT The thermotherapy of sugarcane setts is currently the primary management method for Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli (Lxx), in Brazil. When they are immersed, the enzymes and proteins of the bacterial cell are denatured without harming the setts buds. Due to possible escapes from detection and consequent bacterium survival to thermotherapy, what may result in asymptomatic seedlings, this study aimed to detect the Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli bacterium in sugarcane setts using molecular techniques and different time and temperature combinations, with or without the addition of antibiotics. The conventional PCR method detected the Lxx bacterial DNA only in the positive control, consisting of a highly susceptible plant with a high bacterial concentration. Using the nested-PCR, the Lxx DNA was detected in all the treatments used. Thus, none of the treatments adopted in the thermotherapy was able to eliminate the Lxx from the setts, and the use of kasugamicin also did not eliminate the bacterium, but reduced the bacterial population in the tested treatments. These results confirm that the nested-PCR is a useful tool to detect the presence of this phytobacterium in setts that will be used as seedlings.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT The application of growth promoting substances, such as humic acids, during the formation of fruit seedlings can benefit growth and increase the plant nutrient uptake and translocation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the application of humic acid doses (0 mg L-1, 2 mg L-1, 20 mg L-1, 40 mg L-1 and 200 mg L-1) extracted from vermicompost of sugarcane filter cake on the nutrient uptake of seminal mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) seedlings. The experimental design was completely randomized, with 7 replicates for each treatment. The application of humic acids promoted curvilinear increments with quadratic rates for N, P, K, Ca, Mg and S contents from shoots and roots, as well as quadratic increments in the Zn and Mn uptake by shoots. The application of humic acids increased the chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b contents and reduced the carotenoid content. Overall, the regression analysis demonstrated that a dose of 150 mg L-1 is capable of providing the most adequate nutrient uptake by plants, and should be recommended for the production of mangosteen seedlings. Humic acids from vermicompost can provide a better nutrition in mangosteen seedlings at the nursery stage.

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT Sacha inchi (Plukenetia volubilis) is an oilseed crop that has gained importance due to the high contents of proteins and unsaturated fatty acids in its seeds. This study aimed at evaluating the growth characteristics of five leguminous species (Crotalaria juncea,Centrosema macrocarpum,Arachis pintoi,Cannavalia ensiformis and Phaseolus vulgaris) used as cover crops, as well as determining their influence on the sacha inchi yield. A complete randomized block design, with three blocks, was used. C. macrocarpum and C. ensiformis were the most appropriate cover crop species for the local edaphoclimatic conditions because they reached 100 % of soil coverage at six months, in addition to controlling the weeds growth and protecting the soil from erosion. Furthermore, the total leaf biomass at six months was significantly higher in C. macrocarpum, what allowed improving the soil fertility through nitrogen cycling. The use of leguminous cover crops, mainly C. macrocarpum, positively influenced the sacha inchi yield.

Authors: Coelho Gustavo Henrique de Freitas , Bonella Alcino Eduardo
Published: September 2019

Resumo A partir de dados brasileiros e espanhóis, este artigo aborda aspectos relevantes da doação e transplantes de órgãos, como a relação entre oferta e demanda, legislação vigente, custos e possíveis estratégias para aumentar taxas de doação e melhorar de forma geral o processo de transplantes. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar dados empíricos atuais que incrementem o conhecimento relevante para a avaliação bioética. Os dois países se destacam: o Brasil por ter o maior sistema público de transplantes de órgãos do mundo, e a Espanha por manter há décadas o maior índice de doadores efetivos por milhão de pessoas. Análise inicial dos dados sugere a necessidade de lidar mais abertamente com os interesses dos afetados e a opinião pública, criando articulação sistêmica entre legislação, políticas públicas baseadas em evidências e pesquisa.

Authors: Sousa Gisly Macêdo de , Lustosa Marinalva de Araújo , Carvalho Valéria Sena
Published: September 2019

Resumo O objetivo geral deste artigo é compreender como profissionais intensivistas vivenciam a terminalidade e seus impasses bioéticos. O estudo apresenta resultados de pesquisa de campo quali-quantitativa com 12 intensivistas de um hospital público estadual. Foram utilizados na coleta de dados questionário sociodemográfico e entrevista semiestruturada, gravada em áudio e transcrita posteriormente. Os dados foram processados com auxílio do software Iramuteq, que analisa textos estatisticamente. O estudo evidencia como os profissionais compreendem de forma superficial o fim da vida e os dilemas bioéticos decorrentes, faltando base para decisões terapêuticas. Pode-se perceber que a vivência dos profissionais é permeada por dificuldades e sentimentos diversos. Por fim, conclui-se que é necessário investir em educação continuada para trabalhar temas da bioética como a terminalidade. Aprovação CEP-Uespi 2.153.848
O papel da bioética nas comissões de ética animal
Authors: Jankoski Lilian Gauto Quintana , Fischer Marta Luciane
Published: September 2019

Resumo As diretrizes para usar animais como modelos experimentais transpuseram o campo bioético e chegaram ao âmbito jurídico. Se por um lado isso favoreceu a normatização de parâmetros físicos e biológicos voltados ao bem-estar animal, por outro, acrescentou demandas burocráticas que ocuparam a reflexão anteriormente destinada à resolução de conflitos éticos. Este estudo quantitativo objetivou analisar a opinião de membros, coordenadores e colaboradores brasileiros das comissões de ética no uso de animais sobre o funcionamento desses dispositivos legais. Os 114 participantes demonstraram aderir à legislação; contudo, apontaram aumento de conflitos potencialmente solucionáveis na esfera bioética. Embora importante para o bom funcionamento das comissões, a bioética foi definida como deficitária, precisando retomar seu papel norteador nas deliberações. Essa conclusão indica a necessidade de incorporar membros com formação em bioética, além de investir na capacitação frequente do colegiado e dos pesquisadores envolvidos em experimentação animal.

EL PROCESO DEPURADOR EN LA ENSEÑANZA PRIMARIA DURANTE LA ESPAÑA FRANQUISTA: UN ESTUDIO DE CASO EN LA PROVINCIA DE SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE
Authors: Lorenzo Manuel Ferraz
Published: September 2019

RESUMEN El trabajo que presentamos trata de analizar el proceso depurador desarrollado en la enseñanza primaria a partir de julio de 1936. Tengamos presente que el golpe de Estado irrumpe en la provincia de Santa Cruz de Tenerife y que las medidas represoras debían ser contundentes y ejemplarizantes para el resto de las zonas sometidas con posterioridad. Además de las autoridades políticas, los maestros fueron uno de los colectivos más perseguidos y reprimidos por sus actuaciones educativas, culturales y sociales. La rapidez y la contundencia en las detenciones y condenas aparecen claramente reflejadas en los documentos civiles y militares consultados. La metodología utilizada se centra en el análisis y la interpretación cualitativa de datos de archivo, de los boletines oficiales y de la prensa consultada.
PEDAGOGIA DO OPRIMIDO COMO REFERÊNCIA: 50 ANOS DE DADOS GEOHISTÓRICOS (1968-2017) E O PERFIL DE SEU LEITOR
Authors: Santana Otacilio Antunes , Souza Suzana Carvalho de
Published: September 2019

RESUMO Após cinquenta anos da publicação do livro Pedagogia do Oprimido, surge a demanda em refazer os caminhos da sua apropriação como referência (citação e leitura), para se analisar até que ponto a tentativa de banir o livro Pedagogia do Oprimido, e por consequência, seu autor, deu certo (Hipótese 1). Outro tópico que foi verificado foi se os pesquisadores que mais referenciaram o livro, são daqueles países ditos colonizados-dependentes (Hipótese 2) e se o perfil dos leitores do livro foram os que teoricamente estavam sob opressão (Hipótese 3). A intenção desse texto não foi fazer uma discussão ou interpretação contextual, epistemológica e ontológica do conteúdo do livro, a intenção foi focar na análise bibliométrica geohistórica e no perfil dos leitores.
JOSÉ VERÍSSIMO, UM CLÁSSICO BRASILEIRO: A ANTOLOGIA ESCOLAR COMO CANONIZAÇÃO LITERÁRIA E FORMAÇÃO DE LEITORES
Authors: Moraes Felipe Tavares de
Published: September 2019

RESUMO Analisa-se neste artigo a antologia escolar “José Veríssimo - Crítica”, seleção e estudo crítico de Olívio Montenegro, editado pela Editora Agir, na coleção “Nossos Clássicos” (1958), como uma forma de recepção e seleção dos estudos literários da extensa obra histórica, educacional, etnográfica e literária de José Veríssimo. Argumenta-se que esta antologia escolar registrou o processo de canonização literária de José Veríssimo como crítico literário e, a partir disso, produziu o processo de formação de leitores ao aderir uma chave de leitura sobre a obra de José Veríssimo: a transformação em clássico brasileiro na consagração do crítico literário - contribuindo para um silêncio bibliográfico sobre os seus estudos dedicados a sociedade e a cultura amazônica oitocentista.

RESUMO Trata-se de um estudo de casos de três homens com 25, 39 e 40 anos de idade, avaliados antes e após dez sessões consecutivas de fonação em tubo de vidro imerso em água. O objetivo foi descrever os resultados vocais da terapia breve intensiva com fonação em tubo de vidro imerso em água, em três homens sem afecções laríngeas e com queixas vocais. Em dois sujeitos, a maioria das medidas de fonte glótica melhorou, mas sem entrar na normalidade. Nos três sujeitos, a maioria das medidas de pressão sonora aumentou acima da normalidade; a maioria dos tempos máximos de fonação aumentou, mas sem entrar na normalidade; a diferença entre a média das vogais e a contagem de números permaneceu fora da normalidade; os resultados das relações s/z e ė/e permaneceram ou entraram na normalidade. Os resultados dos questionários de autoavaliação (Perfil de Participação em Atividades Vocais, Escala de Desconforto do Trato Vocal e Autoavaliação do Grau de Quantidade de Fala e Volume de Voz) mostraram que os escores se mantiveram ou pouco mudaram após a terapia. Todos os sujeitos mostraram Pré-contemplação, primeiro estágio, na Escala URICA-Voz. Nos três homens, após terapia breve intensiva com fonação em tubo de vidro imerso em água, houve discreta melhora na maioria das medidas vocais, mas ainda permaneceram alteradas e, na escala URICA-Voz, o grupo se classificou em Pré-Contemplação.
Optimal pressure management in water distribution networks through district metered area creation based on machine learning

Published: September 2019

ABSTRACT Integrated management of water supply systems with efficient use of natural resources requires optimization of operational performances. Dividing the water supply networks into small units, so-called district metered areas (DMAs), is a strategy that allows the development of specific operational rules, responsible for improving the network performance. In this context, clustering methods congregate neighboring nodes in groups according to similar features, such as elevation or distance to the water source. Taking into account hydraulic, operational and mathematical criteria to determine the configuration of DMAs, this work presents the k-means model and a hybrid model, that combines a self-organizing map (SOM) with the k-means algorithm, as clustering methods, comparing four mathematical criteria to determine the number of DMAs, namely Silhouette, GAP, Calinski-Harabasz and Davies Bouldin. The influence of three clustering topological criteria is evaluated: the water demand, node elevation and pipe length, in order to determine the optimal number of clusters. Furthermore, to identify the best DMA configuration, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) method was applied to determine the number, cost, pressure setting of Pressure Reducing Valves and location of DMA entrances.
