Sociedad, individualismo y modernidad en el Perú
Authors: Navarrete Julio Mejía
Published: March 2019

Resumen El artículo analiza el carácter singular de la constitución del individualismo de origen popular y cholo en el Perú contemporáneo, para intentar anotar algunas tendencias posibles. Los antecedentes del individualismo cholo de principios del siglo pasado se apoyaron en la cultura andina que facilitó su avance y frenó el desarraigo social. La expansión del individualismo social, como resultado de las masivas migraciones andinas en los años sesenta, impulsó la creencia en el progreso personal, el legado comunal en la formación de las barriadas y la difusión de la informalidad. Y, en las últimas décadas, el individualismo ha devenido en un proceso híbrido de egocentrismo neoliberal, vivacidad criolla oligárquica, violencia de raigambre gamonal, informalidad, mercantilización y pragmatismo utilitario. Al parecer, los desarrollos posibles del individualismo y comunalismo se movieran en una dinámica propia que enlaza modernidad y legado cultural andino.

Authors: Hilal Fernando Andrés , Herrero María Belén , Maciel Elvira Maria Godinho de Seixas , Braga Jose Ueleres
Published: March 2019

ABSTRACT: Background: In Argentina, approximately 9,000 new cases of tuberculosis (TB) are recorded every year, representing an incidence rate of 22 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. There are no reported studies in Argentina examining the factors that influence the unequal distribution of the disease. The aim of the study was to identify the relationship between the distribution of social and economic factors and TB in Argentina between 2008 and 2012. Method: An ecologic study involving 525 departmental jurisdictions was conducted. Simple linear regression analysis was performed, followed by multiple linear regression for each group of determinants. A final model of determinants of TB’s incidence was constructed from a model of multiple linear regression. Results: The following determinants explain 43% of the variability of TB’s incidence rate among different jurisdictions: overcrowding, proportion of households with a sewage network, proportion of examined patients with respiratory symptoms and proportion of patients who discontinued treatment. Discussion: This study makes an important contribution to a better understanding of the factors influencing the TB occurrence in Argentina, which is the result of a multidimensional and complex process. Thesefactors make part of this disease’s social determination. Conclusion: TB incidence is associated with different determinants, from multiple levels. Inequalities in its distribution in Argentina are driven by the unequal distribution of key social determinants.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: This paper details the methods used in the second national Biological and Behavioral Surveillance Survey (BBSS) of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B and C among men who have sex with men in Brazil. Methods: Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) was used in 12 cities in 2016. The targeted sample size was initiated with five to six seeds in each city. HIV, syphilis, and Hepatitis B and C rapid tests were offered to participants. RDS Analyst with Gile’s successive sampling (SS) estimator was used to adjust results as recommended and a weight for each individual was generated for further analysis. Data for the 12 cities were merged and analyzed using Stata 14.0 complex survey data tools with each city treated as its own stratum. Results: Duration of data collection varied from 5.9 to 17.6 weeks. 4,176 men were recruited in the 12 cities. Two sites failed to achieve targeted sample size due to a six-month delay in local IRB approval. No city failed to reach convergence in our major outcome variable (HIV). Conclusion: The comprehensive BBSS was completed as planned and on budget. The description of methods here is more detailed than usual, due to new diagnostic tools and requirements of the new STROBE-RDS guidelines.

ABSTRACT: Introduction: The written information on medicines has been acknowledged as an important tool for health education. Objective: To analyze the use and understanding of medicine package inserts by users and assess sociodemographic and medical factors associated with their comprehension. Method: Data in this analysis are part of the PNAUM National Survey - a cross-sectional population-based study conducted in Brazil. Descriptive statistics and the Pearson χ2 tests were performed to compare proportions between sociodemographic and medical characteristics, as well as use and understanding of medicine package inserts. Results: A total of 28.427 individuals responded to questions related to medicine package inserts. From these, 59.6% (95%CI 57.7 - 61.5) said they usually read the inserts, and 98.4% (95%CI 98.0 - 98.8) considered them necessary. Among people who read the medicine package inserts, more than half indicated difficulties with legibility (57.4%; 95%CI 55,2 - 59,6) and readability (54.1%; 95%CI 52.1 - 56.1). People from a lower education level reported greater difficulty in understanding them. Conclusion: The larger portion of the population usually read medicine package inserts. Nevertheless, people have difficulty in reading and understanding them.
Pais de primeira viagem: demanda por apoio e visibilidade
Authors: Trindade Zeidi , Cortez Mirian Beccheri , Dornelas Kirlla , Santos Mônica dos
Published: March 2019

Resumo A inserção do homem nos serviços de saúde vem, timidamente, ocupando espaço nos estudos voltados a paternidade e gênero. Investigou-se o posicionamento de pais de “primeira viagem” sobre a possibilidade de assistência advinda de profissionais da saúde e de suas redes de apoio para exercer a paternidade. Foram entrevistados individualmente 20 homens que acompanhavam a gestação de seus primeiros filhos. Os participantes relataram necessidade de apoio durante a gravidez, principalmente da família e dos amigos e reconhecimento de que a mulher-gestante merece e precisa de mais atenção. Ainda, consideraram o profissional de saúde como fonte possível de orientações sobre o processo gestacional e o cuidado com recém-nascidos. Os resultados indicaram que elementos tradicionais de representações sociais sobre homem e pai interferem na proximidade dos participantes com a gestação e no reconhecimento de suas necessidades por apoio durante esse período. Evidenciou-se também o distanciamento do homem do atendimento por profissionais de saúde e a necessidade de cumprimento de políticas públicas na saúde e inserção da perspectiva de gênero nas políticas e práticas de saúde e educação, visando a formação de profissionais sensíveis para atuar com os homens, contribuindo para a promoção de modos de vida mais igualitários e benéficos para o homem-pai.
O mapa da saúde e o regime de visibilidade contemporâneo
Authors: Ibiapina Érico , Bernardes Anita
Published: March 2019

Resumo Este artigo analisa a articulação entre território, acesso e tecnologias em saúde. O objetivo é colocar em análise o mapa da saúde a partir da relação entre regime de visibilidade e tecnologias de vigilância em saúde. O percurso da reflexão apoia-se na problematização do georreferenciamento no campo da saúde para monitoramento e vigilância dos fluxos de circulação de pessoas no espaço urbano como estratégia biopolítica. A análise perpassa, portanto, a problematização de técnicas de mapeamento do campo da saúde para pensar formas de controle e regulação populacional como processos não naturais que permitem certas formas de articulação entre acesso, território e tecnologias em saúde. Deste modo, o artigo segue o itinerário: (1) analisa o território como um dos elementos que constituem um dispositivo no campo da saúde; (2) discute como a vigilância está implicada nas estratégias de mapeamento na saúde a partir dos primeiros mapas biossociais; (3) aborda a relação entre georreferenciamento e tecnologias de vigilância em saúde como estratégia biopolítica.
Condições de trabalho de assistentes sociais da área da saúde e repercussões psicossociais
Authors: Lourenço Edvânia , Goulart Patrícia , Anunciação Luis , Lacaz Francisco Antonio de Castro
Published: March 2019

Resumo Este artigo discute aspectos das condições de trabalho e as repercussões psicossociais do trabalho de assistentes sociais (AS) que atuam no Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Esta pesquisa foi realizada a partir de investigação quali-quantitativa que envolveu tanto aplicação de questionários, em âmbito nacional, quanto a realização de entrevistas individuais e grupos focais com AS que atuam nos três níveis de complexidade do SUS. Nacionalmente, 295 AS responderam ao questionário, sendo 53,3% do estado de São Paulo. Os principais achados sugerem que as AS, apesar de em sua maioria serem concursadas e fazerem a jornada de 30 horas semanais, apresentam condições de trabalho inadequadas, pois 39% não têm salas para o atendimento individual e 30% informaram não ter privacidade para o trabalho. Do ponto de vista psicossocial, as escalas do questionário que avaliam as condições de trabalho e o bem-estar laboral evidenciaram que as(os) profissionais não estão em conflito com tais condições de trabalho, pois não foram reportados dados significativos quanto aos sentimentos de insegurança, impotência, frustração ou mal-estar. Há reconhecimento da utilidade do seu trabalho, percepção da precarização dos serviços e consequente queda na qualidade dos cuidados ofertados, o que, nas entrevistas, foi expressado como uma tensão frequente para o engajamento na garantia do direito à saúde. Assim, os altos índices de bem-estar constatados nas escalas podem ser vistos como dificuldades para o reconhecimento das condições precárias a que estão submetidas(os), ou como estratégias defensivas para o não enfrentamento dessas condições, aliado à dificuldade de se reconhecerem como trabalhadores(as) precarizados(as).

Background

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare subtype of extranodal lymphoma. Despite established clinical prognostic scoring such as that of the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) and the International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group, outcome prediction needs to be improved. Several studies have indicated an association between changes in hematologic laboratory parameters with patient outcomes in PCNSL. We sought to assess the association between hematological parameters and overall survival (OS) in patients with PCNSL.

Methods

Pretreatment blood tests were analyzed in patients with newly diagnosed PCNSL (n = 182), and we divided the analysis into two cohorts (A and B, both n = 91). OS was evaluated using the Cox proportional hazards models and log-rank test. Furthermore, the accuracy of the different multivariate models was assessed by Harrell's concordance index (C-index).

Results

Using prechemotherapy blood tests, anemia was found in 38 patients (41.8%) in cohort A and 34 patients (37.4%) in cohort B. In univariate analysis, anemia (<12 g/dL in women and <13 g/dL in men) was significantly associated with OS. None of the other blood tests parameters (neutrophils, lymphocyte, or platelets counts) or their ratios (neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio and neutrophil-to-platelets ratio) were associated with OS. In multivariate analysis, after adjusting by MSKCC score, anemia remained an independent prognostic factor. Interestingly, the prediction accuracy of OS using Harrell's C-index was similar using anemia or MSKCC (mean C-index, 0.6) and was increased to 0.67 when combining anemia and MSKCC.

Conclusion

The presence of anemia was associated with poor prognosis in both cohorts of PCNSL. Validation of these results and biologic role of hemoglobin levels in PCNSL requires further investigation.

Implications for Practice

The prediction of the outcome of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) using the most frequently used scores (i.e., Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center [MSKCC] or International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group) needs to be improved. We analyzed a large cohort of PCNSL to dissect the potential prognostic value of blood tests in this rare entity. We found anemia as an independent predictor for overall survival in PCNSL. Interestingly, the accuracy to predict PCNSL outcome was improved using hemoglobin level. This improvement was additional to the currently used clinical score (i.e., MSKCC). Finally, none of the other blood tests parameters or their ratios had a prognostic impact in this study.
Steady-state and dynamic hygrothermal performance of rendered straw bale walls
Authors: Thomson Andrew , Dick Kris , Walker Pete
Published: March 2019

Wheat straw, in the form of compacted bales, is increasingly used as thermal insulation in the external walls of buildings. Common practice is to use a render finish, applied directly to surface of the straw bales, to protect them from decay, and enhance structural performance and fire resistance. Coatings are typically made of water vapour permeable materials, such as lime or earth-based renders. Such coatings should allow water vapour to diffuse through, minimising the risk of liquid moisture build up within the thickness of the wall, reducing likelihood of decay. However, to date there has been very limited scientific study of this behaviour in rendered straw bale walls. The aim of the work presented in this paper was to develop understanding of the hygrothermal performance of lime rendered wheat straw bales. A test panel was subjected to varying environmental conditions, including a thermal shock, dynamic freeze–thaw exposure and hot humid conditions. Key scientific contributions of this work include data on the dynamic and steady-state hygrothermal characteristics wheat straw bale walls, combined with the application of heat and moisture modelling. This work will further support uptake of straw bale construction by designers and their wider use in energy-efficient construction projects.
Analysis of unreinforced and reinforced shallow piled embankments under cyclic loading
Authors: Aqoub K. , Mohamed M. , Sheehan T.
Published: March 2019

Reinforced piled embankments are being increasingly used for construction over soft ground due to their efficiency in reducing potential settlement, speed of construction, and associated cost. Most of the previous studies focused on developing understanding of the behaviour of thick embankments that are loaded with a static surcharge load. Data on the behaviour of shallow piled embankments under cyclic loadings are scarce. In this study, an experimental programme was undertaken using a fully instrumented testing rig to generate data and improve our understanding of the behaviour of unreinforced and reinforced shallow piled embankments subject to monotonic and cyclic loadings that were applied over a predetermined area of the embankment. The experimental results showed that collapse of soil arching is instantaneous and occurs during the first few cycles of load. However, strength was regained, and recovery of the arching effect was observable during further stages of cyclic loadings due to densification of the embankment material and deformation of the soft subsoil. Inclusion of reinforcement layers was found to enhance the performance of load transfer mechanisms by concentrating stresses on pile caps. The results clearly showed a significant reduction in surface settlement, soft subsoil settlement and heaving with increasing numbers of reinforcement layers.
Simplified seismic analysis of flexibly supported two-way asymmetric-plan buildings
Authors: Halabian Amir M. , Teymoorian Ehsan
Published: March 2019

The seismic response of flexibly supported asymmetric-plan structures to severe ground excitations is affected by the interaction of translational and torsional responses of the superstructure and the deformation of the soil underlying the foundation. An innovative simplified method based on uncoupled modal response history analysis (UMRHA) is proposed for soil–two-way asymmetric-plan building systems excited by bi-directional ground motions. A new five degrees of freedom (5DoF) modal stick is introduced to represent the modal equations of the flexibly supported structure. All of the elastic properties in the 5DoF modal sticks are determined by converting the equation of motion of the whole soil–structure system into 8DoF modal equations. The results obtained from the proposed enhanced UMRHA method with the 5DoF modal stick were compared with those obtained from the UMRHA method by solving eight coupled modal equations of motion, conventional modal analysis and rigorous exact analysis. The results demonstrated the high efficiency of the proposed procedure in the evaluation of engineering design parameters.

Seed germination and population structure of two endangered tree species: Magnolia perezfarrerae and Magnolia sharpii
Authors: Vásquez-Morales Suria Gisela , Ramírez-Marcial Neptalí
Published: March 2019

Background: Due to habitat fragmentation many Magnolia species are at risk of extinction in Mexico.Question: What type of population structure is exhibited by Magnolia perezfarrerae  and  M. sharpii, endemic species of Chiapas, Mexico? Does the extreme reduction in the population of both  Magnolia affect their reproductive capacity? What is the propagation potential in both species of Magnolia ? Is it necessary to use pregerminative treatments for Magnolia species propagation?Studied species: Magnolia perezfarrerae A. Vázquez & Gómez-Domínguez and Magnolia sharpii Miranda.Study sites and years of study: Highlands and Central Depression of Chiapas, Mexico, from 2015 to 2017.Methods: In this study, the density and distribution of diametric sizes of M. perezfarrerae and M. sharpii were assessed in natural populations. Their reproductive capacity and the ex-situ germination of both species was analyzed.Results: The population density in M. perezfarrerae was 40-53 ind. ha-1, and 24-83 ind. ha-1 in M. sharpii . Size structure varied between populations of each species: one apparently without problems of regeneration, and another with discontinuous distribution in several size categories. The seeds presented physical, chemical and mechanical dormancy. The pre-germination treatments applied proved mostly effective for M. sharpii by 73 % and by 64 % for M. perezfarrerae .Conclusions:  The current condition of Magnolia species is critical and their persistence is compromised. Any viable conservation option would need to identify potential sites for the reintroduction of new populations.

Published: March 2019

Introduction: Oral usage of flavonoid-based drugs can be successfully applied in the conservative treatment of internal haemorrhoids; however, its efficiency in a form of topical preparations has not been demonstrated yet. The aim of the present study was to determine the efficiency of ointment with propolis extract (containing minimally 115 mg/kg of flavonoid galangin) in relief and suppression of the symptomatic internal haemorrhoids grade 1 and 2 (bleeding, prolapse, pain, and itching).

Methods: This prospective cohort epidemiological study that included 46 participants of both genders, mean age 53.6±14.3 years, was conducted in the general practice setting in Osijek, Croatia and lasted for three months. A specially designed questionnaire was used to collect demographic data and data concerning the haemorrhoid disease symptoms and to evaluate the intensity of the latter data according to the scale defined in the research protocol.

Results: The study showed statistically significant improvements in the intensity of all the symptoms connected with the internal haemorrhoids grade 1 and 2 (p<0.001) during the follow up period, as well as statistically significant differences in proportions of participants with and without of the each of the analysed symptoms before and after the therapy (p<0.001). After three months of therapy with ointment containing propolis extract 82.7% patients (38/46) had none of the analysed symptoms.

Conclusions: Ointment with propolis extract efficiently affected all the analysed symptoms of the haemorrhoid disease thus having a very significant place within the conservative treatment of haemorrhoids.
Реальная политика и реальность насилия в тексте «Парижской резни» К. Марло
Authors: Ковалев Виктор Александрович
Published: March 2019

«Парижская резня» Кристофера Марло, посвященная трагичным событиям Варфоломеевской ночи и их контексту, — одно из первых воплощений на сцене реальных политических инцидентов в буквальной, а не аллегорической форме. Одновременно трагедия полна как стереотипов, так и политических антикатолических установок (таких как крайняя жестокость, макиавеллизм и т. д.), формировавших в глазах англичан образы континентального «другого». Кроме того, пьеса оказывается одной из первых в списке кровавых «трагедий мести» золотого века английской драматургии. Марло внес вклад в создание макабрического «словаря ужасов», ставшего инструментарием для последующих экспериментов в этом жанре. В рамках исследования процесса формирования этих образов в статье представлен новый перевод фрагментов трагедии, позволяющий, по мнению автора, точнее отразить установки, которыми руководствовался драматург, и восприятие пьесы современниками.

В виде доклада исследование было представлено на I Всероссийской научной конференции «Кристофер Марло и его творчество в русской и мировой культуре: междисциплинарный взгляд» (Москва, 22–23 июня 2018 г.). Конференция была проведена в рамках проекта Российского фонда фундаментальных исследований (№ 18-012-00679).

AbstractA person's needs for security can be measured using negative indicators such as crime rates. Police registration data records that the number of crimes from 2014-2016 tends to increase. Everyone can experience an emergency situation. In addition to crime rates, emergency situations can occur due to accidents, fire or illness. There is no certainty when someone experiences an emergency situation, so it is necessary to minimize the impact of the emergency situation, where one of them is a rapid emergency response when someone experiences an emergency situation. The results of this study are in the form of mobile-based community rapid response applications that use the Android operating system using the Apache web server. This application also sends maps and location coordinates via a message sent by someone who is experiencing an emergency situation. This message can be sent to smartphones in the form of message notifications or non smartphones in the form of SMS.AbstrakKebutuhan seseorang akan rasa aman dapat diukur menggunakan indikator negatif seperti angka kejahatan.

Hacia una epistemología de la mirada

Sin duda, es de vital importancia comprender que pertenecemos a un mundo en el que todo es susceptible de ser consumido; ingerimos toda clase de signos, de símbolos, de formas de ser, de formas de estar, de formas de comunicarnos, de formas de representarnos; que de alguna manera en el diario vivir van provocando naturalizaciones producto de su irreflexión y su condición acrítica. El artículo propone al lector, asumir una actitud de permanente alerta frente a lo que el mundo globalizado nos ofrece. Sugiere la necesidad de leer contextos en un marco de referencia que nos aboca al desenfreno y a la banalización. Ser capaces de replantear esa ética utilitaria por una capaz de atribuir al sujeto su verdadero papel protagónico es tarea que urge iniciar. Sin duda las aulas, ávidas por sembrar semillas de esperanza serán el lugar abonado desde donde transformar las nuevas realidades.

Alimento peligroso

Las tinieblas han caído sobre esta ciudad desordenada y sucia. Las personas deambulan desconcertadas sobre las aceras, al tiempo que los autos llenan de smog las sucias y polvorientas calles plagadas de huecos. El tráfico se hace imposible y la paciencia de los conductores poco a poco se torna violenta: agravios van, insultos vienen, los frenos crujen angustiados y los pitos retumban en voces de todas las notas musicales posibles, dando como resultado la sinfonía del caos. Ha comenzado a lloviznar, se ha formado una bruma espesa que junto con la arremetida de una ventisca helada, impide a los transeúntes orientarse y caminar libremente
