Published: July 2021

Petroleum fluid has been extensively studied at low magnetic fields by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Spectroscopy, but high field NMR studies are rarely found in this area. The aim of this study is to determine the proton spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T1), T1 relaxivity (R1), proton spin-spin relaxation rate (1/T2) and T2 relaxivity (R2) of paraffinic CH2 and gamma CH3 peaks. For this purpose, crude oil samples were taken from 3 separate wells in the Batman region. Using these samples, 3 different sets were prepared from a mixture of deuterated chloroform (CDCl3) and crude oil. The total volume of each prepared mixture was 1 mL. The crude oil content in each set was changed from 0.05 mL to 0.20 mL in 0.05 mL steps.. Special care has been taken to ensure the best shimming of the NMR spectrometer operating at 400 MHz. T1 measurements were performed using an inversion recovery (IR) pulse sequence. 1/T2 values were determined from the half-height line widths of CH2 and CH3 peaks. 1/T1 and 1/T2 rates and all relaxivities were found to vary from well to well. This change is due to the fluid composition of the wells. The 1/T2 rates and R2 relaxivities were found to be considerably greater than the 1/T1 rates and R1 relaxivities. R2 relaxivities for CH3 were also 2-5 times greater than for CH2.The higher 1/T2 and R2 relaxivities compared with 1/T1 and R1 were attributed to the additional CDCl3-mediated relaxation mechanisms. In conclusion, available data show that high 1/T2 rates and R2 relaxivities measured in the high field NMR laboratory can be applied to separate crude oil from other fluids in the oil field.
MAKNA PUJIAN (STUDI LEKSIKAL-SINTAKTIKAL KATA “ הָלַל “ [HĀLAL] DALAM MAZMUR 150)
Authors: Paat Vicky BGD
Published: July 2021

Pada masa kini, pujian dalam ibadah telah mengalami reduksi dan kemerosotan. Baik nilai maupun fingsinya sudah tidak lagi sesuai dengan apa yang diajarkan Alkitab. Bagi kebanyakan orang, puji-pujian di dalam sebuah ibadah dianggap sebagai introduksi (pembukaan) atau pengantar dan tambahan saja. Mereka mengatakan bahwa “sedikit-dikitnya penyembahan dan pujian adalah fokus kedua.”1 Fokus utama dalam ibadah ialah mendengarkan Firman Tuhan. Jika mereka tidak bisa mendengarkan Firman Tuhan dengan baik, maka alasan yang diajukan adalah karena puji-pujiannya tidak bisa membawa jemaat atau menyiapkan suasana untuk menikmati Firman Tuhan dengan baik. Mazmur 150:1-6 memiliki keunikan dan kekhususan tersendiri yang tidak dimiliki oleh mazmur-mazmur sebelumnya. Bahkan, jika dibandingkan dengan mazmur-mazmur sejenis, Mazmur 150:1-6 tetap menampakkan keunggulan dan keindahan. Ini merupakan “mazmur yang cantik dan hidup yang menutup rangkaian mazmur-mazmur Haleluya. Mazmur 150:1-6 membentuk sebuah inclusion dimana bagian awal dan akhir ditutup dengan seruan yang sama, yaitu“הַַ֥לְלוּ יָָ֙הּ ” (halelûyāh).

Millennials are the generation that was born between 1980 - 1990 or early 2000 and they are the generation who are technologically literate and very closely interact with social media and the internet, therefore as a church, we have a total or total task of the church of Jesus Christ is to reach the soul with the preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, especially for these Millennials. In dealing with this situation, Ron Luce, an evangelist and founder of Teen Mania, a Christian youth organization, provides solutions for parents and the church, namely having to build a culture that focuses on Christ in a home that is stronger than a secular culture that destroys children. it’s hard for them to go to hell. Provide a way for them to go to heaven.In an effort to frame the title of this paper, there are seven dimensions in an effort to contextualize authentic and relevant evangelical reporting for millennials, namely: 1) world view - how to understand the world; 2) cognitive processes - ways of thinking; 3) linguistic forms - ways of expressing ideas; 4) behavior patterns - ways of acting; 5) communication media - how to channel news; 6) social structure - how to get along; and 7) sources of motivation - how to make decisions.

Using a Bayesian Modelling Approach to Understand the Redistribution of Pottery to Romano-British Rural Sites
Authors: Lewis Joseph
Published: July 2021

The vast majority of inhabitants of Roman Britain lived in the countryside. However, the redistribution of pottery to Romano-British rural sites is poorly understood. To address this issue, a Bayesian approach (Integrated Nested Laplace Approximation, INLA) is used to model the count of pottery recovered from rural sites. Through model selection, the redistribution of pottery was identified to be driven by small towns and pottery production sites. Findings also suggest that the redistribution of pottery was not homogenous across site types, with Roman roads and local trackways playing an important role.

Evidence for loop quantum gravity
Authors: Chen Wen-Xiang
Published: July 2021

This article points out that when the boundary condition $\frac{T}{T_{c}}=z$ (when z is a complex number) is preset, bosons can produce Bose condensation without an energy layer. Under Bose condensation, incident waves may condense in various black holes in the theory of loop quantum gravity. At that time, potential barriers will be generated near the horizon of various black holes, and we believe that these black holes will also produce super-radiation phenomena (this article uses the natural unit system). We assume that the simple loop quantum gravity theoretical model that can produce superradiation phenomena that does not exist in the traditional theory provides experimental evidence for loop quantum gravity.
Integrating Scientific Knowledge into Machine Learning using Interactive Decision Trees
Authors: Sarailidis Georgios , Wagener Thorsten , Pianosi Francesca
Published: July 2021

Decision Trees (DT) is a machine learning method that has been widely used in the geosciences to automatically extract patterns from complex and high dimensional data. However, like any data-based method, the application of DT is hindered by data limitations and potentially physically unrealistic results. We develop interactive DT (iDT) that put the human in the loop and integrate the power of experts’ scientific knowledge with the power of the algorithms to automatically learn patterns from large datasets. We created an open-source Python toolbox that implements the iDT framework. Users can create new composite variables, manually change the variable and threshold to split, manually prune and group variables based on their physical meaning. We demonstrate with three case studies that iDT help experts incorporate their knowledge in the DT development achieving higher interpretability.
Evidence for the Brief Mysticism Scale: Psychometric Properties, and Moderation and Mediation Effects in Predicting Spiritual Self-identification
Authors: Streib Heinz , Chen Zhuo Job
Published: July 2021

How are mystical experiences related to self-rated spirituality? Is the recently developed short 8-item version of Hood’s (1975) Mysticism Scale an efficient measurement? The current study expands evidence for both questions using N = 1,582 American and N = 1,492 German samples measured in three waves, average 4 to 5 years apart. Results show that the 8-item brief M-Scale has good psychometric property evidenced by 1) measurement invariance across time, and 2) good test-retest reliability. Results further demonstrate that the 8-item brief M-Scale 3) moderates the effect of self-rated religiosity on self-rated spirituality, and 4) mediates the prediction of self-rated religiosity on self-rated spirituality over time. We conclude that the M-Scale can be used as a measure for self-attributed spirituality and that the 8-item brief version of the M-Scale can be used, when questionnaire length is an issue.
Interactions Between Visual Working Memory, Attention, and Color Categories: a Pupillometry Study
Authors: Wilschut Thomas , Mathot Sebastiaan
Published: July 2021

Recent studies have found that visual working memory (VWM) for color shows a categorical bias: observers typically remember colors as more prototypical to the category they belong to than they actually are. Here, we further examine color-category effects on VWM using pupillometry. Participants remembered a color for later reproduction on a color wheel. During the retention interval, a colored probe was presented, and we measured the pupil constriction in response to this probe, assuming that the strength of constriction reflects the visual saliency of the probe. We found that the pupil initially constricted most strongly for non-matching colors that were maximally different from the memorized color; this likely reflects a lack of visual adaptation for these colors, which renders them more salient than memory-matching colors (shown before). Strikingly, this effect reversed later in time, such that pupil constriction was more prolonged for memory-matching colors as compared to non-matching colors; this likely reflects that memory-matching colors capture attention more strongly, and perhaps for a longer time, than non-matching colors do. We found no effects of color categories on pupil constriction: after controlling for color distance, (non-matching) colors from the same category as the memory color did not result in a different pupil response as compared to colors from a different category; however, we did find that behavioral responses were biased by color categories. In summary, we found that pupil constriction to colored probes reflects both visual adaptation and VWM content, but, unlike behavioral measures, is not notably affected by color categories.
Individual differences in brain structure and self-reported empathy in children

Published: July 2021

Empathy refers to the understanding and sharing of others’ emotions and comprises cognitive and affective components. Empathy is important for social functioning, and alterations in empathy have been demonstrated in many developmental/psychiatric disorders. While several studies have examined associations between empathy and brain structure in adults, few have investigated this relationship in children. Investigating associations between empathy and brain structure during childhood will help us develop a deeper understanding of the neural correlates of empathy across the lifespan.125 children (66 female, mean age 10 years) underwent MRI brain scans. Grey matter volume and cortical thickness from T1-weighted structural images were examined using the CAT12 toolbox within SPM12. Children completed questionnaire measures of empathy (cognitive empathy, affective empathy: affective sharing, empathic concern, empathic distress).In hypothesised region of interest analyses, individual differences in affective and cognitive empathy were related to grey matter volume in the insula and the precuneus. Although these relationships were of similar strength to those found in previous research, they did not survive correction for the total number of models computed. While no significant findings were detected between grey matter volume and empathy in exploratory whole-brain analysis, associations were found between cortical thickness and empathic concern in the right precentral gyrus.This study provides preliminary evidence that individual differences in self-reported empathy in children may be related to aspects of brain structure. Findings highlight the need for more research investigating the neurobiological correlates of empathy in children.
Parochial cooperation and the emergence of signalling norms
Authors: Przepiorka Wojtek , Andreas Diekmann
Published: July 2021

Why do people adorn themselves with elaborate body piercings or tattoos, wear obstructing garbs, engage in life-threatening competitions and other wasteful and harmful but socially stipulated practices? Norms of cooperation and coordination, which promote the efficient attainment of collective benefits, can be explained by theories of collective action. However, social norms prescribing wasteful and harmful behaviours have eluded such explanations. We argue that signalling theory constitutes the basis for the understanding of the emergence of such norms, which we call signalling norms. Signalling norms emerge as a result of the uncertainty about who is friend and who is foe. The need to overcoming this uncertainty arises when different groups compete for scarce resources and individuals must be able to identify, trust and cooperate with their fellow group members. After reviewing the mechanisms that explain the emergence of cooperation and coordination norms, we introduce the notion of signalling norms as markers of group distinction. We argue that adherence to signalling norms constitutes a commitment promoting parochial cooperation rather than a quality-revealing signal facilitating partner choice. We formalize our argument in a game-theoretic model that allows us to specify the boundary conditions for the emergence of signalling norms. Our paper concludes with a discussion of potential applications of our model and a comparison of signalling norms with related concepts.
Questionable Research Practices and Determinants of Their Frequency
Authors: Alsalti Taym
Published: July 2021

Concern has been mounting over the reproducibility of findings in psychology and other empiri-cal sciences. Large scale replication attempts found worrying results. The high rate of false findings in the published research has been partly attributed to scientists’ engagement in questionable research practices (QRPs). I discuss reasons and solutions for this problem. Employing a content analysis of empirical studies published in the years 2007 and 2017, I found a decrease in the prevalence of QRPs in the investigated decade. I subsequently discuss possible explanations for the improvement as well as further potential contributors to the high rate of false findings in science. Most scientists agree that a change towards more open and transparent scientific practice on part of both scientists and publishers is necessary. Debate exists as to how this should be achieved.
Deset let poté: Vědecký odkaz arabského jara
Authors: Weinfurter Jaroslav
Published: July 2021

The purpose of this article is to outline some of the key changes and advancements in social theory and research methodology that were triggered during the period of scientific self-reflection after the events of the so-called Arab Spring. The ongoing turn towards decidedly micropolitical and anthropological approaches has had a significant impact especially on macropolitical and universalist disciplines which, much like their regional counterparts, were largely caught off guard by the Middle Eastern developments from the turn of the last decade. These changes represent a very welcome corrective detour to the established trajectories of scientific development, especially so with regard to the existing and prolonged issues surrounding interdisciplinary research that have historically plagued the research in Middle Eastern politics and for which new possibilities of resolutions are hereby opened.

Authors: Angmalisang Stefani I.
Published: July 2021

The tourism industry sector in North Sulawesi is currently getting more attention by the government. Linow lake is one of the busiest and visited tourist attraction. The tourism industry must apply the concepts, regulations and guidelines in tourism development in order to be able to maintain and increase the number of tourist visits which will lead to economic benefits for the tourism industry and local communities. In Tomohon city itself, there are so many natural tourist attractions which as beautiful as Linow Lake. In order for tourists to feel satisfied and want to visit the Linow lake on the next day, the quality of service cannot be overlooked. For this reason, measurement of service quality was carried out using five dimensions, Tangible, Reliability, Assurance, Responsiveness, and Empathy. It will be measured to 100 respondents, how the expectations and perceptions of tourists about the service quality at Linow Lake tourist attractions. Measurements were carried out by using servqual method, which calculates the difference between the expectations and perceptions of tourists consisting of 22 questions. The result of the analysis showed a positive value of 0.17, which means that the service quality at Linow Lake tourist attractions has exceeded the expectations of visitors. However, one dimension, responsiveness, gets a negative value, and it is expected that the management can improve the quality of its services in terms of response speed, especially on busy visitor days.

Background and Aim: Conventional post-operative rehabilitation programs focus on quadriceps strengthening and knee range of motion. However, hip muscle weakness is evident in patients with knee osteoarthritis. The present trial study aimed to investigate the effects of adding early hip muscle strengthening exercises to conventional rehabilitation programs on pain, Range of Motion (RoM), Quality of Life (QoL), and physical function in patients with unilateral Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Methods & Materials: The intervention was initiated from the second day after surgery and continued for 10 sessions, 3 times a week on 24 participants in the control and intervention groups. Both research groups received Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation (TENS) and Infra-Red (IR), followed by exercises. The control group performed knee extensor and flexor strengthening and RoM exercises. The intervention group conducted hip-strengthening exercises in addition. Outcome measures included pain, knee flexion, and extension RoM, and QoL using the 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36), Timed Up and Go (TUG) test, Step Test, Six-Minute Walk Test (6MWT), and Hip and Knee Muscle Strength test. Ethical Considerations: This research was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of Iran University of Medical Sciences (IR.IUMS.REC.1396.9511340012) and it was registered in the Clinical Trial Registration Center (Code: IRCT 20150314021459N6). Results: All outcome measures improved in both research groups. The improvement in the scores of pain (P=0.03), knee extension RoM (P=0.007), and TUG test (P=0.033) were significantly higher in the intervention group, compared to the control group. The strength of knee flexors (P=0.023), hip flexors (P=0.040), hip extensors (P=0.028), hip adductors (P=0.040), and hip external rotators (P=0.047) significantly improved higher in the intervention group. Conclusion: According to the present research results, both treatment approaches were effective on patients with unilateral total knee arthroplasty. Considering the better result of some of the outcome measures in the intervention group, the addition of hip strengthening exercises to knee exercises can be useful.

Background and Aim: Applying Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) is increasing. A critical step in ART is the frozen embryo transfer, in which the endometrium thickness has great significance in the outcome. In this case, the frozen embryo will be transferred during the next cycle. There are several ways to prepare an endometrium for transmitting embryos; however, choosing the best method remains debated. The present study aimed to evaluate the pregnancy rate of frozen embryo transfer in the presence or absence of GnRH agonists. Methods & Materials: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 146 consecutive patients attending Qom’s infertility treatment center from 2015 to 2017; these subjects were candidates for the transfer cycle of the frozen-thawed embryo and randomly assigned to receive either protocol with or without GnRH agonist. Clinical features, implantation rate, pregnancy rate (chemical & clinical), and abortion rate were assessed. Ethical Considerations: This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Academic Center for Education, Culture, and Research of Mashhad University (Code: IR.ACECR.JDM.REC.1398.001). Results: There was no significant difference in baseline and clinical characteristics, implantation rate, pregnancy rate (chemical & clinical), and abortion rate between the study groups of endometrial preparations with or without GnRH agonist (P<0.05). Conclusion: In this study, pregnancy outcome was similar in both study groups; thus, this method is recommended as an endometrial preparation without GnRH agonist.

Background and Aim: The adherence of diabetic patients to the recommended treatment regimens is among the major challenges in diabetes control. Dietary adherence is low in pregnant women with gestational diabetes. Non-compliance can reduce the beneficial effects of treatment, symptoms, and signs, increase complications, or even cause death. Therefore, further research on the determinants of follow-up behaviors is essential. Methods & Materials: This was a descriptive-analytical study. In total, 260 women with gestational diabetes treated with diet referring to healthcare centers, and Imam Reza (AS), Ghaem, and Umm Al-Banin Hospitals in Mashhad City, Iran participated in this research. The study subjects were selected using convenience, multistage, class, and cluster sampling methods. The required data were collected using a demographic and pregnancy profile questionnaire and a researcher-made questionnaire of adherence to the treatment regimen. The obtained data were analyzed by inferential statists and regression tests in SPSS v. 16. Ethical Considerations: This study was registered with ethics code of IR.MUMS.NURSE.REC.1397.091 in the ethics committee of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Results: The regression analysis results indicated that dietary adherence, blood glucose monitoring, and exercise adherence scores presented a significant and positive effect on the total treatment adherence score (P<0.001). Furthermore, education (P=0.044), unwanted (P=0.006), or unplanned pregnancy (P=0.21) provided a positive and significant effect on the overall score of treatment adherence. Women with a history of diabetes in first-degree relatives (P=0.010) and those with a history of miscarriage (P=0.021) obtained higher scores of total treatment adherence. Conclusion: According to the present study findings, some demographic and pregnancy characteristics can affect the rate of adherence to the treatment regimen in women with gestational diabetes. Healthcare providers need to pay attention to the impact of these factors in improving adherence to patients’ treatment regimens.

Este trabajo es de carácter hermenéutico, el cuerpo de datos está conformado por un registro de información primaria recogida durante el proceso de elaboración de una tesis doctoral y de la documentación como memoriales y legislación que fundamentan el desarrollo de las experiencias interculturales.En este proceso se sitúa al maestro mapuche williche en el contexto de una escuela que, a pesar de los 25 años desde que se instala el mandato jurídico para implementar un sistema de educación intercultural bilingüe, no ha superado la herencia colonial. El maestro se sitúa como actor relevante en las intensas disputas político-epistémicas que confrontan discursos pedagógicos e ideológicos que cuestionan, por un lado la presencia y legitimidad de ellos y de los saberes que incorporan al currículum escolar y por otro, los discursos cuestiona el actuar colonial de la escuela y el marco de experiencias interculturales como posibilidades descolonizadoras.
Las tres caras del racismo epistémico en Educación Superior
Authors: Granada Angulo Lubi Jehins
Published: July 2021

El presente artículo expone uno de los hallazgos centrales de la investigación doctoral Experiencias educativas de mujeres negras afrodescendientes: Un estudio interseccional, en el que se retoma el racismo epistémico evidenciado en las experiencias educativas de seis mujeres negras afrodescendientes con estudios doctorales en Colombia. Este racismo se revela especialmente en los espacios de educación superior, a través de tres formas: el pensamiento eurocéntrico, que da prelación a los saberes europeos y desvirtúa las epistemes producidas desde otras cosmovisiones no occidentalizadas; la invisibilización en el currículo, que se manifiesta cuando en los distintos espacios de educación formal no se muestran o se desconocen las elaboraciones epistémicas diversas a los parámetros eurocéntricos; y la marginalización académica que es identificada mediante la infravaloración de contenidos, la infravaloración de los grupos racializados y de la infrarrepresentación de mujeres y hombres negros afrodescendientes en los espacios de producción académica. Como ideas de cierre se presentan algunas de las restricciones que experimentan las mujeres negras afrodescendientes, a causa de este racismo epistémico.

Este artículo tiene como objetivo analizar los desafíos de implementar políticas públicas antirracistas en educación y relaciones étnico-raciales en Brasil con base en la Ley N ° 10.639 promulgada en 2003 -enseñanza obligatoria de Historia Africana en las escuelas- y las “Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação das Relações Étnico-raciais e para o Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira e Africana”, lanzada en 2005. Entendemos que las relaciones entre teorías y conceptos propuestos por especialistas en el campo de las políticas públicas antirracistas y la educación étnico-racial plantean pertinencia reflexiones en torno a los conceptos fundamentales para este debate insertado en el campo educativo, sobre todo, en las luchas antirracistas tanto en la educación como en la sociedad brasileña. Como metodología se utilizó el análisis de contenido basado en Bardin para realizar un análisis cualitativo del tema. Como resultado, vimos que la Ley N ° 10.639 / 03 está experimentando dificultades para materializar el giro epistémico y, por ende, la vigencia de la Ley. Sin embargo, existen buenos resultados generados por los estímulos en las esferas académicas con el avance de la investigación y la expansión de este tema en el área de la educación.
El papel del currículo en la reproducción de desigualdades étnico-raciales. Una mirada al caso argentino en perspectiva latinoamericana
Authors: Ocoró Loango Anny
Published: July 2021

Este artículo es un ensayo que describe cómo, en América Latina, el currículo escolar ha difundido una visión eurocéntrica que, a través de la negación y el avasallamiento y de las culturas no hegemónicas, ha contribuido a sostener las desigualdades étnico-raciales, la exclusión y el racismo epistémico presentes en nuestras sociedades.  Señala que el currículo no es un elemento neutro y, haciendo foco en el caso argentino, destaca cómo el proceso de selección de contenidos, conocimientos, valores e ideologías que este condensa, ha reafirmado las posturas que excluyen la diversidad étnica y refuerzan los relatos homogéneos sobre la sociedad. Al mismo tiempo, muestra cómo hoy las luchas por el control del currículo escolar –lejos de haber desaparecido– tienen lugar a través de distintos actores que buscan moldearlo de acuerdo a sus intereses. Finalmente, se interroga sobre los desafíos que en la actualidad plantea el desarrollo de un currículo escolar plural e intercultural, capaz de dialogar con los enormes problemas que enfrenta América Latina, y de aportar herramientas para un mundo que cambia con gran celeridad.
O Contexto Histórico Da Violência Contra Mulher E A Atuação Do Psicólogo
Authors: Costa Alex Junio Duarte
Published: July 2021

Fazendo um recorte dos tempos passados até os dias atuais, objetivou-se verificar como iniciou a luta por igualdade de gênero e como os movimentos sociais transgeracionais influenciaram na aquisição de direitos para a mulher de forma internacional e avançou alcançando a legislação brasileira onde, a partir de políticas afirmativas e garantias especificas para as mulheres, o país criou um aparato jurídico que busca garantir o respeito e a dignidade da mulher, ressignificando o que é “ser mulher” no país. Assim, no intuito avançar a compreensão da busca por igualdade social dos gêneros foi necessário fazer um breve percurso pelo passado, trazendo a discussão de como a violência simbólica, ainda presente nos dias de hoje, faz um vultoso papel de inferiorização da mulher. Para tanto, a pesquisa – de cunho qualitativo – também possui os seguintes tipos: teórica, documental e bibliográfica. Destarte o trabalho teve como objetivos específicos: (1) Compreender a perspectiva histórica da relação de dominação de gênero tendo por base a violência simbólica; (2) Verificar o avanço da legislação brasileira; (3) Apurar como a assistência psicológica é organizada e qual seu papel nas instituições responsáveis pelo acolhimento da mulher vítima de violência de gênero/doméstica. No presente trabalho, pôde ser constatado que, no Brasil, as políticas afirmativas possuem grandes aparatos jurídicos, mas sem a devida eficiência. Portanto, apesar do amparo jurídico, o Estado brasileiro se encontra entre os mais negligentes e violentos do mundo quando o assunto é violência contra a mulher, sendo que o principal motivo é o esfarelamento das instituições responsáveis pelo atendimento de ocorrências desse tipo.

Este estudo aponta a relação entre o Transtorno de Personalidade Borderline (TPB), sintomas dissociativos e memória. Os sintomas dissociativos – que são caracterizados pele perturbação e/ou descontinuidade da integração normal de consciência, memória, identidade, emoção, percepção, representação corporal, controle motor e comportamento -, dos quais fazem parte as alterações de memória, foram incluídos nos critérios diagnósticos do TPB apenas no Manual Diagnóstico e Estatístico de Transtornos Mentais (DSM) IV, tendo sido mantido no DSM 5, e ainda existem poucos estudos sobre a prevalência destes sintomas no transtorno e sua influência. A dissociação relacionada ao estresse ocorre em 75 a 80% dos pacientes com TPB. Foi realizada revisão bibliográfica com leitura, análise e interpretação de material com abordagens relacionadas ao tema de estudo. Este artigo apresenta diferentes definições da dissociação, desde a interpretação psicanalítica até a visão neurobiológica e ainda as principais formas de tratamento na atualidade – as derivadas da Terapia Cognitivo Comportamental: Terapia Comportamental Dialética e Terapia do Esquema.

A cirurgia cardíaca ainda é uma das intervenções para as doenças arteriais coronarianas. Após esta intervenção, o paciente inicia o pós- operatório com os valores pressóricos alterados, necessitando de cuidados intensivos. Objetivo: analisar as variações da pressão arterial durante o pós-operatório (PO) do paciente submetido a cirurgia cardíaca com circulação extracorpórea (CEC) e discutir os cuidados de enfermagem. Metodologia: Trata-se de uma pesquisa documental, de abordagem qualitativa e descritiva. A instituição da pesquisa foi um Hospital Federal de caráter militar, que tem a sede no município do Rio de Janeiro. A coleta de dados ocorreu no mês de abril de 2018, com amostra de 30 prontuários de pacientes submetidos à cirurgia cardíaca com circulação extracorpórea durante o período de janeiro à julho de 2017, através de uma ficha de pós- operatório das anotações da equipe de enfermagem. Resultado: Quanto ao perfil, a maioria tinha idade maior que sessenta e um anos, o gênero masculino apareceu em maior escala com 77% (n=23), em relação ao gênero feminino com 23% (n=07). Os pacientes mantiveram os valores da PAM (pressão arterial média) entre 70 a 110 mmHg que são considerados normais, destes 83,3% (n=25) 70 a 100mmHg, normotensos; 13,3% (n=4) < 70mmHg, hipotensos; 3,47% (n=1) >110mmHg na primeira hora mantiveram hipertensos. Conclusão: A recuperação do paciente que foi submetido a cirurgia cardíaca depende de um (POI) pós-operatório imediato eficaz, e posteriormente do PO, desta forma o enfermeiro deve acompanhar a monitorização e prestar uma assistência especializada para este paciente crítico.
Tafamidis in transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy
Authors: Moiseev S. , Rameev V.
Published: July 2021

Transthyretin is primarily synthesized in the liver and transports thyroxine and vitamin A in the body. The transthyretin when dissociated into monomers can misfold and ultimately form amyloid fibrils. There are two types of ATTR amyloidosis: hereditary (caused by mutations in the TTR gene) and wild-type (also referred to as senile systemic amyloidosis). Amyloid cardiomyopathy can develop in patients with both types of ATTR amyloidosis, has a later onset and is characterized by progressive heart failure leading to death within a few years after diagnosis. Tafamidis is an oral-administered small molecule that binds to transthyretin and inhibits transthyretin tetramer dissociation, the rate-limiting step in the amyloidosis. Long-term efficacy and safety of tafamidis were shown in patients with transthyretin familial amyloid polyneuropathy. The objective of the phase 3 international, multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized ATTR-ACT study was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of tafamidis (20 or 80 mg orally QD) in comparison with placebo in 441 patients with hereditary and nonhereditary transthyretin cardiomyopathy (median age 75 years, 90% of males). At month 30, treatment with tafamidis was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality (by 30%) and a lower rate of cardiovascular related hospitalizations (by 32%) than placebo and resulted in a lower rate of decline in distance for the 6-minute walk test and a lower rate of decline in KCCQ-OS score. The data from extension study supports tafamidis 80 mg as the optimal dose (bioequivalent to tafamidis free acid 61 mg).

Published: July 2021

Olokizumab is a new humanized monoclonal antibody targeting IL-6 that is approved for treatment of patients with moderately severe or severe active rheumatoid arthritis despite therapy with methotrexate and other conventional diseasemodifying antirheumatic drugs or biologic agents. The efficacy and favorable safety profile of olokizumab in combination with methotrexate in rheumatoid arthritis patients who had previously failed methotrexate or tumour necrosis factor inhibitors were established in the several international 3 phase clinical trials (CREDO). The authors present two cases of successful olokizumab administration and discuss the indications for its use in patients with rheumatoid arthritis to achieve clinical improvement and to prevent progression of AA-amyloidosis.
