Inaugural Address: The History of Women’s Education:
Assessment and New Perspectives for the Future
Authors: Fahmy-Eid Nadia
Published: April 2020

In both Quebec and Canada as a whole, the history of
women’s education is no longer a new appearance on the
historiographical scene. As a field of research, this history
has developed considerably in the last twenty years and can no
longer be regarded as unknown territory. Whether it involves
educational levels, specific educational paths, institutions, or
programs intended for women, research has progressed
sufficiently to allow an overview of this crucial component of
women’s history to begin to emerge. As a result of such
progress, henceforth no synthesis of the history of education
worthy of the name can afford to ignore women’s education.
However, there is a big difference between piecemeal integration
and wholesale integration into the global context to which a
synthesis refers and from which the overall perspective emerges.
This raises the issue of the conditions necessary for such an
integration. This paper examines a number of recent works in
Canadian history and reflects on their treatment of the history
of women’s education and history more generally, and the
implications for the future.
Cicero Versus Socrates: The Liberal Arts Debate in the 1960s
at the University of Saskatchewan, Regina Campus
Authors: Pitsula James M.
Published: April 2020

The liberal arts debate among the faculty at Regina Campus
in the 1960s reflected the social and political movements of the
day, especially the rise of student power and the New Left. At
the same time, it revived a much older debate about the nature
of liberal education, which historian Bruce Kimball traces back
to the thought of Socrates and Cicero. Kimball’s typology of
“orators” versus “philosophers” brings order and clarity to what
otherwise appears as a jumbled mix of conflicting viewpoints.
The “oratorical” tradition favors general education based on
knowable truth as a means to prepare youth for responsible and
active citizenship. The “philosophical” or “liberal-free” ideal
emphasizes the freedom to search for truth, an eternal quest
that never attains its goal, and has led to the dominance of
scientific research and the fragmentation of knowledge. The
“orators” lost the sixties debate, and the “liberal-free” ideal
is now almost uncontested.
Learning Open Science by doing Open Science. A reflection of a qualitative research project-based seminar
Authors: Steinhardt Isabel
Published: April 2020

Openness in science and education is increasing in importance within the digital knowledge society. So far, less attention has been paid to teaching Open Science in bachelor’s degrees or in qualitative methods. Therefore, the aim of this article is to use a seminar example to explore what Open Science practices can be taught in qualitative research and how digital tools can be involved. The seminar focused on the following practices: Open data practices, the practice of using the free and open source tool “Collaborative online Interpretation, the practice of participating, cooperating, collaborating and contributing through participatory technologies and in social (based) networks. To learn Open Science practices, the students were involved in a qualitative research project about “Use of digital technologies for the study and habitus of students”. The study shows the practices of Open Data are easy to teach, whereas the use of free and open source tools and participatory technologies for collaboration, participation, cooperation and contribution is more difficult. In addition, a cultural shift would have to take place within German universities to promote Open Science practices in general.
A xeografía de Galicia con e após Fraguas
Authors: Paül Carril Valerià
Published: April 2020

Analizamos tres cuestións centrais presentes na Geografía de Galicia de Antonio Fraguas (1953). Asemade, propomos unha interpretación diacrónica deses aspectos desde 1953 cara adiante, na que subliñamos o rol exercido pola xeografía académica da Universidade compostelá a partir de finais dos anos 60. En primeiro lugar, abordamos as comarcas como escala territorial chave de Fraguas; xeógrafos posteriores reelabóranas en termos distintos, nomeadamente ao redor do proceso de comarcalización oficial culminado en 1996-1997. En segundo lugar, revisamos a relevancia da óptica rural na interpretación do territorio galego por parte de Fraguas e como a xeografía foi transitando paseniño cara a unha maior atención polos espazos urbanos de Galiza. Finalmente, discutimos o papel concedido por Fraguas á paisaxe no seu discurso territorial acerca de Galiza; co paso do tempo, tendeuse a omitir a concepción paisaxística do autor, neste punto e no resto moi debedor de Otero Pedrayo.

Responsibility and Thought in William Blake’s “The Fly”
Authors: Shuting Sun
Published: April 2020

This article is an analysis of William Blake’s poem “The Fly” from the angles of Responsibility and Thought. The article agrees with much of the secondary literature that “The Fly” introduces an attempted identification between an inattentive philosophizing narrator and fly in the first three stanzas and then challenges it in the final two. However, the article makes the novel case that the narrator’s initial attempt at contemplative union with the fly is not completely rebuffed by the quizzical non sequitur contained in the final two stanzas. Blake’s oblique allusion to God is connected to the narrator’s recognition that he and the fly share a real and significant union, even if the two parties interpolate each other in completely alien forms.
Multilevel Thresholding of Brain Tumor MRI Images: Patch-Levy Bees Algorithm versus Harmony Search Algorithm
Authors: Aqilah Bohani Farah , Huda Sheikh Abdullah Siti Norul , Sharis Syaza , Iqbal Hussain Rizuana , Sahran Shahnorbanun , Omar Khairuddin , Qasem Ashwaq
Published: April 2020

Image segmentation of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a crucial role among radiologists in terms of diagnosing brain disease. Parts of the brain such as white matter, gray matter and cerebrospinal fluids (CFS), have to be clearly determined by the radiologist during the process of brain abnormalities detection. Manual segmentation is grueling and may be prone to error, which can in turn affect the result of the diagnosis. Nature inspired metaheuristic algorithms such as Harmony Search (HS), which was successfully applied in multilevel thresholding for brain tumor segmentation instead of the Patch-Levy Bees algorithm (PLBA). Even though the PLBA is one powerful multilevel thresholding, it has not been applied to brain tumor segmentation. This paper focuses on a comparative study of the PLBA and HS for brain tumor segmentation. The test dataset consisting of nine images was collected from the Tuanku Muhriz UKM Hospital (HCTM). As for the result, it shows that the PLBA has significantly outperformed HS. The performance of both algorithms is evaluated in terms of solution quality and stability.
Influence of Rail Pad Stiffness and Axle Loads on Dynamic Responses of Train-track Interaction with Unsupported Sleepers
Authors: Zakeri Jabbar Ali , Fattahi Morvarid , Nouri Mehrdad , Janatabadi Fatemeh
Published: April 2020

Increasing the axle load causes track deterioration and permanent settlement of the ballast layer. In the ballasted railway tracks, due to the inevitability of unequal settlements in the ballast layer, part of the rail due to high flexural rigidity will become suspended, which causes the formation of the track with unsupported and partially supported sleepers. This situation increases rail vertical displacement and reactions on adjacent sleepers. Several models have been presented to study the effect of unsupported sleepers on dynamic responses of train-track interaction. In this paper, by applying mathematical model, unsupported and partially supported sleepers have been modeled and equations of motions for train-track interaction were written by assuming nonlinear behavior of rail and wheel contact. Following by solving the equations via numerical integration in the time domain, the effect of axle load and pad stiffness on rail vertical displacement were investigated. Results of the analysis suggested that through increasing the axle load rail displacement increased by 13 % in the unsupported sleeper and from 5 to 10 % in the partially supported sleeper. Also, by increasing the pad stiffness rail displacement decreased from 2 to 13 % in the unsupported sleeper and from 1 to 6 % in the partially supported sleeper.

Developing Teacher Feedback on Written Work Within the Process Approach: One Way Of Improving the Students’ Composition
Authors: Marsuki Marsuki
Published: April 2020

Issues in EFL and ESL have revealed that students’ performance in writing remain unsatisfactory although the teacher has tried to apply an appropriate technique as maximally as possible. This article discusses about how a teacher can develop feedback technique on Writing by applying the process approach as one way of improving the students’ composition. On the basis of the technique, there are two types techniques the teacher may apply in Writing by using the process approach, namely written comment and student-teacher conference. The use of both forms will simultaneously maximize the amount of feedback and the quality of feedback required for effective revision of the working draft. The appropriateness and accuracy of these techniques as matter of fact depend on several factors: ability, personality, and attitude of the teacher towards a particular technique, and the learners’ need, abilities, and attitude, the number of students in the class, and the time allotment in the actual teaching –learning situation. Consequently, the students need to be encouraged to see Writing as a means of learning rather than demonstrating learning. Furthermore, the teacher feedback activities will be seen as a vehicle to lead the learner towards the path of self feedback in the process of writing.
Advanced vacuolation indicates propagation of various salmonid alphavirus type 2 isolates in Acholeplasma-infected BF-2 cells
Authors: Schachner O , Dinhopl N , Friedl A , Soliman H , El-Matbouli M
Published: April 2020

During previous routine inspections of bluegill fry (BF-2) and rainbow trout gonad (RTG-2) cells incubated with organ samples from asymptomatic Arctic char Salvelinus alpinus, brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis, and rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, a distinctive, reproducible cytopathic effect (CPE) appeared. The striking CPE, involving progressive vacuolation turning into slowly proceeding pyknotic degeneration, was originally attributed exclusively to enhanced growth of Acholeplasma sp. However, at a recent re-examination of re-infected BF-2 cells using electron microscopy (EM), conventional PCR, and quantitative PCR (qPCR), a virus was also detected. Two days post inoculation (dpi), EM revealed characteristic virions inside cytoplasmic vacuoles and next to bacteria outside the cells. The nucleotide sequences of the viral nsP3 gene fragment obtained from supernatants of infected cells were 100% identical and representative for salmonid alphavirus type 2 (SAV 2). The 16S RNA gene (16S rDNA) fragment sequences of the Mollicutes-specific PCR product obtained from SAV-infected as well as virus-free BF-2 control cells were identical with Acholeplasma laidlawii. In addition, qPCR results indicated enhanced propagation of virus and bacteria increasing with vacuolation between 5 and 8 dpi. Advanced vacuolation can be regarded as a CPE of both SAV and A. laidlawii, suggesting a viral impact on the bacterial infection that turns a latent intracellular stage into an apparent degenerative condition.

Objective: Evaluating the association between gestational diabetes and fetal/maternal complications such as poor obstetric outcomes.

Methods: Historical cohort comprising patients from the High-Risk Service of Federal University of Juiz de Fora (UFJF,) who were diagnosed with diabetes (exposed), as well as patients from the Low-Risk Service of UFJF (non-exposed). Data generated through anamnesis, physical examination and medical conduct, as well as data of newborns such as fetal weight, ICU admission and fetal/neonatal death), were collected and stored in the Epi Info software (version 6.0); p < 0.05.

Results: 176 patients treated in the aforementioned services, 108 diabetic, and 68 non-diabetics, were investigated in the current study. In total, 92 (52.2%) of them were diagnosed with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM); 6 had DM type 1 (3.4%) and 10 had DM type 2 (5.6%). Therefore, 68 patients (38.6%) presented normal glucose metabolism. The mean age of the patients was 30.27 ± 6.77 years, the mean number of births was 1.06 ± 1.20. Macrosomia was diagnosed in 6.81% (n = 6) of the cases; it was associated with maternal glycemia (p < 0.05). D- and F-class pregnant women, who had been previously diagnosed with diabetes, presented lower fetal weight than other pregnant women (p = 0.03). Treatment was based on diet, insulin or metformin, whenever necessary. Fasting glycemia levels decreased throughout the gestational trimesters. Eighteen (10.2%) preterm fetuses were identified; 12 were born from diabetic mothers and 6 were born from non-diabetic ones (p = 0.01; X2 = 10.51). All infants hospitalized in the neonatal ICU (n = 10) were born from diabetic mothers; their mean gestational age was 36.28 + 2.9 weeks, whereas the mean gestational age of infants who were not hospitalized in the ICU was 38.31 ± 1.5 (p = 0.005; T = 12.58). Cesarean section was the most common way of delivery adopted for diabetic pregnant women (p = 0.04).

Conclusion: Based on the results, gestational diabetes (GDM) is a predisposing factor to fetal macrosomia, prematurity, and hospitalization in neonatal ICUs. Pregnant women subjected to proper glycemic control in the current study presented lower complication rates in comparison to other studies in the literature.

The present paper discusses the following research questions: to what extent did errors made by the previous presidents of Ukraine result in the country’s failure to introduce systemic reforms (e.g. combating corruption, the development of a foundation for a stable state under the rule of law and free-market economy)?; can it be ventured that the lack of radical reforms along with errors in the internal politics of Ukraine under Petro Poroshenko resulted in the president’s failure?; will the strong vote of confidence given to Volodymyr Zelensky and the Servant of the People party exact systemic reforms in Ukraine?; or will Volodymyr Zelensky merely become an element of the oligarchic political system in Ukraine?

Road traffic accident is one of the main causes of injuries and fatalities worldwide, serious injuries and mortality in road collisions being a public health problem. The paper gives a overview of time series modeling and forecasting with application in road traffic injuries monitoring. After presenting of the main models and the methodological issues used in Box-Jenkins approach, the paper discusses two case studies, using a multiplicative SARIMA model and an intervention model, for a time series representing the number of mortal traffic accidents in USA, and the road traffic accidents with death and serious injuries in the UK, before and after the imposition of the Arabian embargo in November 1973.
TRAFFIC RELATED REPRESENTATIVE AIRPORT CATEGORIES FOR TECHNOLOGY IMPACT EVALUATION
Authors: Öttl Gerald
Published: April 2020

Technology impact evaluations in air transport require the specification of environment conditions, such as the traffic structure. Since a multitude of worldwide traffic situations exists, this paper presents a systematic approach based on cluster analysis that can handle the worldwide diversity, while ensuring to determine most relevant traffic situations. This is crucial for the universality and global relevance of evaluation results. The approach is presented for the application example of runway capacity evaluation, as part of which features of daily movement distributions of airports and the traffic mix as well as peak situations are quantified. The resulting representative airport and peak categories comprise a limited set of typical traffic situations worldwide that can serve as standard input for capacity-related evaluation, ensuring comparability and clarity.
ANCILLARY REVENUE PRICING
Authors: Wittmer Andreas , Oberlin Nicole
Published: April 2020

The airline industry has evolved from a system of long-established state owned carriers operating in a regular market to a dynamic, deregulated industry. This development – especially the emerging competition of low-cost carriers – has had a major influence on the price setting behaviour of airlines. Profitability of airlines is limited and pricing systems are reconsidered. To stay competitive, traditional full service carriers consider the implementation of ancillary revenue systems, which are similar to low-cost carriers. This paper investigates challenges of an ancillary revenue pricing approach for full service network carriers. A qualitative means-end approach is used to find attributes, which are important for air passengers, and influence their ticket buying behaviour. In addition, the study provides insight into the perception of an ancillary revenue system in the full service network carrier market. The findings present 18 ticket purchase attributes and 15 behavioural terminal values in hierarchical value maps. Based on these values, it is evident that most passengers appreciate if some services are included in the price and not offered as ancillaries. Benefits of ancillary revenue systems include the individual ticket creation, customisation, improved price-performance ratio, flexibility gains and progressive ideas. The main drawbacks of the system include a complicated and complex booking process, feelings of uncertainty, branding problems, a distortion of competitive behaviours, a system similar to that of low-cost carriers, feelings of paying extra for every service and a perceived decline in service and quality.
THE PARADOX OF COMPETITION FOR AIRLINE PASSENGERS WITH REDUCED MOBILITY (PRM)
Authors: Ancell Debbie
Published: April 2020

Airline competition with customer service as product differentiator has forced down costs, air fares and investor returns. Two passenger markets operate in aviation: (a) able-bodied passengers for whom airlines compete and (b) passengers with reduced mobility (PRMs) – disabled by age, obesity or medical problems – for whom airlines do not compete. Government interference in the market intended to protect a minority of narrowly-defined PRMs has had unintended consequences of enabling increasing numbers of more widely-defined PRMs to access complimentary airline provisions. With growing ageing and overweight populations and long-haul travelling medical tourists such regulation could lead to even lower investors’ returns. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) (2013) examined the air transport value chain for competitiveness using Porter’s (2008) five forces but did not distinguish between able-bodied passengers and PRMs. Findings during an investigation of these two markets concurred with IATA-Porter that the markets for the bargaining powers of PRM buyers and PRM suppliers were highly competitive. However, in contrast to the IATA conclusions, intensity of competition, and threats from new entrants and substitute products for PRM travel were low. The conclusion is that airlines are strategically PRM defensive by omission. Paradoxically, the airline which delivers the best PRM customer service could become the least profitable.
FEASIBILITY OF LISTING INDIAN AIRPORTS ON THE STOCK EXCHANGE: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF LISTED AND UNLISTED AIRPORTS
Authors: Mallik Arindam
Published: April 2020

The global air traffic touched a whopping 3.8 billion in 2016 (IATA 2017), forecasted to grow at a CAGR (Compounded Annual Growth Rate) of 3.7% annually by 2035, with India displaying the highest growth rate of 23%, beating China and US who retained the second and third position respectively. IATA (International Air Transport Association) forecasted the flown passengers to be nearly double at 7.2 billion by 2035 and the top driver of this demand would be the developing economies of the Asia-Pacific region. The expected growth in air traffic is bound to put commendable pressure on airports’ infrastructure, which is already approaching bottlenecks. ACI benchmarked the top twenty airports listed on stock exchange in Asia-Pacific, Europe and United States, according to their passenger volumes in 2016, among which eight were situated in Asia. Considering ACI’s benchmark as a reference point, this paper enables us to grasp the financial health of the private Indian airports. Besides answering the critical questions about a tradeoff between investment towards expansion and economic feasibility, this paper analyzes the unaudited financial reports over a span of five years to study the feasibility of listing these Indian airports on the Indian stock exchange. Thereby, the paper explores stock listing of airports as an alternative mode to finance airport expansion to cater to the exponential growth forecasted in the coming future.

The authors considered a system that employs variable frequency drives (VFDs) and executes an extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm to estimate the motor speed based on other measured values. Multiple optimizations were run, and the authors found that the EFWA optimization provided, on average, better solutions than the Genetic Algorithm (GA) for a comparable number of parameter set trials. However, EFWA parameters need to be selected carefully; otherwise, EFWA's early performance advantage over GA can be lost.
Pervasive Technologies and Addiction
Authors: Russell Laura D.
Published: April 2020

Digital media have drastically changed occupational landscapes. Mobile technologies in particular enable employees to work anywhere at any time. Consequently, expectations for when and when not to work have become increasingly uncertain. This chapter focuses on how self-proclaimed workaholics of Workaholics Anonymous (WA) rely on social support. Through participant observation and thematic textual analysis, the author examines the symbolic interactions that shape members' recoveries. A grounded theory analysis of the data reveals how members reconstruct their work habits through introspective reflection, interpersonal dialogue, and communal sense-making. Drawing from a structuration perspective (Giddens, 1979), the author interprets how these findings can be explored in future research and applied by individuals facing personal and occupational pressures associated with work.
USRP-Based Secure Data Transmission
Authors: Jayapalan Avila
Published: April 2020

With the advent increase in growth of wireless technology Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) gains popularity in recent years. OFDM forms the fundamental backbone of many currently used wireless transmission standards. It is a multicarrier modulation scheme which overcomes the need for equalizer to mitigate ISI caused due to multipath propagation. In this work, an OFDM based transceiver has been developed utilizing various modules like Source Coding, Channel Coding, IFFT-FFT, scrambler, cyclic prefix, and signal mapper. To ensure secure data transmission, Hadamard matrix is XORed with the data. This provides a low level of protection to the image which is transmitted. LabVIEW has been used as the processing tool to develop the transceiver and the prototype developed has been tested using Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP).
Copy Move Forgery Detection Through Differential Excitation Component-Based Texture Features
Authors: Suresh Gulivindala , Rao Chanamallu Srinivasa
Published: April 2020

Copy-move forgery (CMF) is an established process to copy an image segment and pastes it within the same image to hide or duplicate a portion of the image. Several CMF detection techniques are available; however, better detection accuracy with low feature vector is always substantial. For this, differential excitation component (DEC) of Weber Law descriptor in combination with the gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) approach of texture feature extraction for CMFD is proposed. GLCM Texture features are computed in four directions on DEC and this acts as a feature vector for support vector machine classifier. These texture features are more distinguishable and it is validated through other two proposed methods based on discrete wavelet transform-GLCM (DWT-GLCM) and GLCM. Experimentation is carried out on CoMoFoD and CASIA databases to validate the efficacy of proposed methods. Proposed methods exhibit resilience against many post-processing attacks. Comparative analysis with existing methods shows the superiority of the proposed method (DEC-GLCM) with regard to detection accuracy.
Comparison of Machine Learning Techniques for Software Quality Prediction
Authors: Goyal Somya , Bhatia Pradeep Kumar
Published: April 2020

Software quality prediction is one the most challenging tasks in the development and maintenance of software. Machine learning (ML) is widely being incorporated for the prediction of the quality of a final product in the early development stages of the software development life cycle (SDLC). An ML prediction model uses software metrics and faulty data from previous projects to detect high-risk modules for future projects, so that the testing efforts can be targeted to those specific ‘risky' modules. Hence, ML-based predictors contribute to the detection of development anomalies early and inexpensively and ensure the timely delivery of a successful, failure-free and supreme quality software product within budget. This article has a comparison of 30 software quality prediction models (5 technique * 6 dataset) built on five ML techniques: artificial neural network (ANN); support vector machine (SVMs); Decision Tree (DTs); k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN); and Naïve Bayes Classifiers (NBC), using six datasets: CM1, KC1, KC2, PC1, JM1, and a combined one. These models exploit the predictive power of static code metrics, McCabe complexity metrics, for quality prediction. All thirty predictors are compared using a receiver operator curve (ROC), area under the curve (AUC), and accuracy as performance evaluation criteria. The results show that the ANN technique for software quality prediction is promising for accurate quality prediction irrespective of the dataset used.
The case for cultural economic participation: achieving social and political change for Aboriginal peoples through community owned and run businesses
Authors: Hopkins Sophie
Published: April 2020

Aboriginal community owned and run businesses have proven to instigate social and political change for Aboriginal communities in Australia, and the nation as a whole. Integral to this change is recognition of the enduring effects of colonisation and realisation of social, cultural and identity capital as valid forms of economic contribution.
Limits in complexity: the contextual boundaries of Peter Carstairs’ "September"
Authors: Howard Freya
Published: April 2020

Peter Carstairs’ 2007 film September is a quiet, intimate contemplation of friendship, coming of age, and ‘the subtle side of racism’ in 1968 Australia (Carstairs in Robertson 2007, p. 16). In the Wheatbelt of Western Australia, Ed Anderson (Xavier Samuel) the son of a wool and wheat farmer, and Paddy Parker (Clearance John Ryan) the son of an Aboriginal labourer on the Andersons’ property, navigate the strains placed on their relationship by complex long-standing prejudices and the changing nature of the Australian political world.
Burning Bridges: Failures of Biblical Hospitality in Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge
Authors: Barfield Mary Ann
Published: April 2020

In his 1955 essay “On Social Plays,” Arthur Miller wrote of the “subjective forces that made [Eddie Carbone, the central figure in A View From the Bridge] what he evidently is” by referring to the “incestuous motif [and the] homosexuality” in the play (81). Critics have since disputed Eddie's psychological motivation for betraying the immigrants under his care in light of both incestuous and queer interpretations of the text. In this essay, I return to Myles Hurd's comparative readings of the biblical narrative of Lot and Bridge in order to frame the play not as a critique of sexual repression but as a critique of Eddie's misplaced sexual authority. By reconsidering the story of Lot as a criticism of sexual violence rather than homosexuality, I argue that Miller demonstrates how sexual oppression is never unilateral, but ultimately systemic and cyclical. This means that while Eddie initially asserts his abusive authority only over his niece, he must eventually extend that authority over his wife, Beatrice, his wife's relatives, and his own neighbors.
Pharmacotherapy of breakthrough pain, what else can we do to improve the effectiveness of treatment
Authors: Woroń Jarosław
Published: April 2020

Breakthrough pain in cancer patients (BTP), also called episodic or incidental, occurs in a significant percentage of patients (40–60%) with cancer. Compared to patients who did not have BTP, patients with a diagnosis of breakthrough pain more often show functional disorders, a higher level of anxiety and depression, and a much worse quality of life. What’s more, in this group of patients, the consumption of sleeping pills and other groups of psychotropic drugs increases, which in turn can lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of analgesic therapy and escalate the risk of adverse interactions with analgesics. The key to improving effectiveness and reducing complications is the choice of drugs used to treat pain breakthrough so that the pharmacokinetic profile of the selected drug is compatible with the breakthrough pain characteristics.

Resumo: Objetivo: avaliar a qualidade de vida de mulheres submetidas ao tratamento hemodialítico. Método: estudo quantitativo descritivo e transversal, realizado com 51 mulheres em tratamento de hemodiálise assistidas em um hospital do Nordeste do Brasil. Para a coleta de dados, utilizou-se o questionário KDQOL – SF36. Foi realizada a análise estatística descritiva e o cálculo de escore do questionário. Procedeu-se os testes da ANOVA e o t de Tukey. Resultados: os domínios que mais comprometeram a qualidade de vida, e, portanto, apresentaram grandes limitações, foram desempenho/problemas físicos (M=95,4) e problemas emocionais (M=96,5), ambos tiveram desvio padrão menor que 1. Contudo, os domínios saúde mental (M=2,1/DP=1,5), vitalidade (M=7,0/DP=3,0) e percepção geral de saúde (M=9,5/DP=3,3) pouco interferiram na qualidade de vida das mulheres. Conclusão: Conclui-se que as mulheres em tratamento hemodialítico apresentam comprometimento da qualidade de vida com limitações nos domínios desempenho/problemas físicos e nos problemas emocionais.

Objetivo: Verificar os efeitos da eletroestimulação e dos exercícios perineais nas alterações anátomofuncionais do assoalho pélvico e na qualidade de vida de mulheres com incontinência urinária por esforço. Métodos: Estudo experimental com participação de 65 mulheres com incontinência urinária de esforço, idade entre 30 a 55 anos, divididas em três grupos, o de exercícios (Gcinesio), o de eletroestimulação (Geletro) e o controle (Gcontrole). O Gcinesio e o Geletro fizeram 16 atendimentos de acordo com seu respectivo protocolo, duas vezes por semana. Todas realizaram avaliação ultrassonográfica do assoalho pélvico; teste de capacidade de contração muscular do mesmo através do AFA e do biofeedback eletromiográfico Phenix (EMG-teste) e aplicação do King’s Health Questionnaire antes e após o tratamento. Resultados: A comparação revelou diferenças significativas a favor do Gcinesio, a saber: mobilidade do colo vesical (p=0,001), espessura dos músculos do assoalho pélvico (p=0,001), EMG- teste (p=0,008) e força muscular pelo AFA (p=0,015). Geletro obteve diferença significativa nos sintomas urgência e urge-incontinência.A sintomatologia e os escores do questionário de qualidade de vida dada pelo delta percentual apresentaram diferença positiva na qualidade de vida das mulheres dos grupos experimentais. Conclusão: O estudo permitiu concluir que as alterações anátomo-funcionais do assoalho pélvico das mulheres desta pesquisa, puderam ser modificadas e melhoradas através dos exercícios perineais e da eletroestimulação, interferindo de maneira positiva na qualidade de vida dessas mulheres. A melhora da incontinência urinária de esforço não pôde ser objetivamente demonstrada, porém a sintomatologia tanto do Geletro quanto do Gcinesio mostra que subjetivamente o sintoma incontinência urinária de esforço reduziu.

Analisar a relação entre o estado cognitivo, por meio do Mini exame do estado mental (MEEM), com a Classificação internacional e funcionalidade, incapacidade e saúde (CIF). Trata-se de um estudo transversal, realizado em uma Instituição de Longa Permanência para Idosos (ILPI) em Cachoeira do Sul – RS no período de janeiro e fevereiro de 2017. Foi aplicado o MEEM e realizado a relação dos domínios do mesmo com as categorias da CIF. A amostra foi composta por 33 idosos (79,0±10,3 anos). As mulheres apresentaram maior déficit cognitivo p=0,05] do que os homens p=0,13]. Observou-se uma forte concordância entre os domínios do MEEM e das categorias da CIF, principalmente no componente Atividade e Participação. A maioria dos idosos não apresentavam déficit em sua capacidade cognitiva. A relação entre o MEEM e a CIF mostrou-se eficiente para o reconhecimento de indicadores que venham a direcionar ações, potencializando a funcionalidade cognitiva e minimizando as perdas em idosos institucionalizados.
