Authors: Naveda Romero Omar , Naveda Meléndez Andrea Fabiola , Meléndez Freitez Rafael José
Published: April 2021

Introducción: las quemaduras graves pueden afectar todos los órganos y tejidos del cuerpo humano, provocando una serie de procesos fisiopatológicos e incluso la muerte. Objetivo: determinar factores de riesgo para mortalidad en el niño gran quemado. Métodos: estudio transversal retrospectivo realizado en el Hospital Universitario de Pediatría “Dr. Agustín Zubillaga” (Barquisimeto, Estado Lara, Venezuela), entre 2010 y 2019. Resultados: un total de 116 niños gran quemados fueron incluidos en el análisis. La mortalidad fue del 27. 6 % Los factores asociados a mortalidad fueron: Superficie corporal quemada mayor del 35 %, quemadura de espesor total, mecanismo: flama, lesión por inhalación, pérdida de peso durante la hospitalización mayor del 15 % y cinco o más transfusiones de glóbulos rojos (TGR). Mediante un modelo de regresión logística binaria se identificó como predictores independientes de mortalidad en niños gran quemados: quemadura de espesor total (OR=11.736; IC-95 %: 1.138 – 121.074; p = 0.039) y pérdida de peso durante la hospitalización mayor del 15 % (OR=22.257; IC-95%: 2.783 – 178.024; p = 0.003). Además, a través del método de Kaplan Meier fue observado un incremento significativo del riesgo de muerte en niños quemados con cinco o más TGR (p = 0.049). Conclusión: la quemadura de espesor total y la pérdida de peso durante la hospitalización mayor del 15 % fueron identificadas como variables independientes asociadas con mortalidad en niños gran quemados.

Published: April 2021

En Colombia, con la actual pandemia por COVID-19, algunas unidades de sueño suspendieron la realización de estudios de sueño en población pediátrica, debido al probable contagio y propagación. De acuerdo con las autoridades competentes, desde junio del 2020, Colombia se encuentra en la fase de mitigación del COVID-19 y las medidas obligatorias de prevención implementadas por el gobierno colombiano como el lavado de manos frecuente, el uso de tapabocas en sitios públicos, el distanciamiento físico y social y el confinamiento de la mayoría de la población en sus hogares, han ayudado a reducir la velocidad de propagación del virus. Sin embargo, debido a la grave crisis económica causada por la pandemia, las autoridades sanitarias locales han emitido varias medidas de bioseguridad para retornar poco a poco a una relativa normalidad, incluyendo la prestación de servicios de salud a pacientes no COVID-19. El objetivo de este artículo es realizar recomendaciones para que las unidades de sueño locales implementen las medidas de bioseguridad mínimas que permitan el reinicio y adecuado desarrollo de los estudios de sueño en población pediátrica. Estas recomendaciones se basan en las estrategias de mitigación establecidas por las autoridades sanitarias locales, en una revisión de la literatura relevante disponible y en las recomendaciones de algunas asociaciones de medicina del sueño.
Mediciones de obesidad abdominal como predictores de riesgo metabólico en escolares y adolescentes, Colombia 2018.
Authors: Forero Torres Ana Yibby , Forero Ballesteros Luis Carlos
Published: April 2021

Antecedentes: la obesidad se relaciona con enfermedades crónicas no transmisibles, que son un problema de salud pública y conllevan a una mayor morbilidad y mortalidad en la edad adulta. El riesgo de padecer complicaciones asociadas al exceso de grasa corporal y factores relacionados con el metabolismo de lípidos y carbohidratos se conoce como riesgo metabólico.  Objetivo: determinar la capacidad del índice cintura estatura y la circunferencia de cintura para detectar la presencia de factores de riesgo metabólico en comparación con el índice de masa corporal, en población escolarizada de Cundinamarca, Colombia. Métodos: estudio descriptivo de corte transversal, en población de 6 a 17 años. Se realizaron mediciones antropométricas, bioquímicas y se definió la obesidad total y abdominal. Las variables se compararon con la prueba U de Mann-Whitney y el estadístico . Se realizaron análisis de sensibilidad, especificidad y área bajo la curva. Resultados: 35 % presentó hipercolesterolemia, 32 % hipertrigliceridemia y 1.6 % hiperglucemia. 12 % tuvo un índice cintura estatura igual o superior a 0.5, mientras que el 24 % presentó obesidad abdominal por circunferencia de cintura. Tanto el índice de masa corporal, como la circunferencia de cintura y el índice cintura estatura, tuvieron baja capacidad discriminativa según el área bajo la curva. Para hipercolesterolemia el valor más alto fue para el índice cintura estatura (0.55) y para hipertrigliceridemia, el de la circunferencia de cintura (0.61). Conclusiones: los resultados demostraron que el índice cintura estatura, al igual que la circunferencia de cintura son mejores predictores de riesgo metabólico que el índice de masa corporal. Además, constituyen medidas sencillas que no requieren ser ajustadas por sexo, edad y comparadas con tablas de referencia.
La condition charnelle est-elle l’origine de l’expérience ? Approche d’une phénoménologie de la chair chez Michel Henry.
Authors: Raviolo Isabelle
Published: April 2021

Cet article entend s’interroger sur « ce qui fait qu’un corps est vivant », en somme sur la nature propre et phénoménologique de la chair, ce lieu originaire où le sujet fait l’expérience à chaque fois singulière de sa condition de vivant. En portant l’interrogation précisément sur la dimension de l’originarité de la chair, I. Raviolo montre comment M. Henry lie la condition charnelle et l’épreuve affective du soi, mais en insistant sur la fragilité intrinsèque du processus, pris en ce temps de finitude qui, marqué par la naissance et par la mort, fait que la vie « échappe ». C’est donc une réflexion sur l’apparaître et le disparaître du vivre dont il est ici question, et ceci, comme l’auteur y insiste fortement, dans une expérience d’une singularité telle que la chair inscrit l’homme dans « son identité d’être humain » et dans son « expérience d’une incarnation ».
Le philosophe et le peintre
Authors: Magré Pierre
Published: April 2021

Ce témoignage de l’artiste Pierre Magré, proche de Michel Henry, veut rappeler qu’au gré du puissant intertexte pictural qu’est l’œuvre de Kandinsky, il y a bien une volonté, chez M. Henry, de penser le « Principe même de la Création ».
Une approche du problème religieux dans la pensée de Michel Henry.
Authors: Garcia-Baró Miguel
Published: April 2021

Cet article est consacré à la philosophie henryenne de la religion. Michel Henry a mené un programme philosophique d’une ambition inouïe depuis l’époque de Fichte, inspiré par la méthode husserlienne de l’intuition. Une intuition d’ordre transcendantal, qui opère une réduction de l’ensemble des epistêmai qui encombrent la lumière de chair qu’est la vie subjective individuelle. En parcourant ce chemin, les œuvres formidables de ces phénoménologues critiques de Husserl que furent notamment Heidegger et Merleau-Ponty, ont dû céder à l’élan originel de la méthode telle qu’elle fut premièrement conçue.
La naissance de la culture d’après la phénoménologie de la vie de Michel Henry
Authors: Kawase Masaya
Published: April 2021

Nous pouvons distinguer chez Michel Henry « phénoménologie de la vie » et « phénoménologie de la culture » comme étant opposées à la « phénoménologie de la nature ». Avant d’être objective et naturelle, la réalité est toujours vitale et pathétique, et son apparaître sous la forme d’une culture est son mode d’être originel. Par conséquent, la « phénoménologie de la vie », phénoménologie qui, en comprenant ainsi la réalité, cherche dans la vie le fondement de cette réalité toujours apparaissant en tant qu’originairement culturelle, devrait être entendue comme « phénoménologie de la culture ». Dans cette perspective, nous prendrons ici la phénoménologie henryenne comme « phénoménologie de la culture » et on tentera de savoir comment elle comprend la naissance de la culture à partir de la vie, autrement dit, comment elle conçoit la naissance de la culture qui ne fait qu’une avec l’auto-engendrement de la vie.
Immanence et Transcendance
Authors: Sakakibara Tatsuya
Published: April 2021

La conception de l’exposition-à-l’Autre de Levinas recoupe-t-elle celle de l’autoaffection pathique de Michel Henry ? L’auteur de cet article répond par l’affirmative à cette question dans la mesure où – selon lui – la jouissance lévinassienne dans l’autoconstitution du présent vivant entre la conscience constituante du temps (la morphé intentionnelle) et la conscience (ou l’objet) constituée dans le flux temporel (la hylé non intentionnelle) a la même structure que l’auto-affection henryenne, selon laquelle celle-ci s’auto-affecte de celle-là dans la jouissance, structure qui a pour nom « phénoménologie matérielle ». Pour l’auteur, l’auto-affection henryenne rejoint donc l’auto-affection lévinassienne, notamment en ce qui concerne l’exposition, la substitution et la proximité.
Du phénomène de perversion dans la pathologie transcendantale de Marc Richir
Authors: Sawada Tetsuo
Published: April 2021

Le phénomène de « perversion » occupe une position bien particulière dans les domaines psychopathologique et psychanalytique. Selon la théorie de Freud, le rêve a pour effet de libérer les désirs refoulés pendant la journée. Au lieu d’être refoulés au tréfonds de l’inconscient, la plupart des vécus du pervers se manifestent dans sa vie en prenant des formes anormales ou immorales telles que le voyeurisme ou l’exhibitionnisme. La perversion est donc un phénomène foncièrement conscient et corporel. Or, si la phénoménologie est définie comme l’analyse de la structure des vécus de la conscience intentionnelle, il s’avère nécessaire d’analyser phénoménologiquement cette structure de la perversité au lieu de se contenter d’étudier la conscience dite saine ou normale. Pour aborder cette question, cet article analyse le texte de Marc Richir, intitulé Phantasia, imagination, affectivité, car il y tente de dégager la structure de la conscience du pervers d’une façon tout à fait innovante.
« Le mouvement est vie »
Authors: Hardy Jean-Sébastien
Published: April 2021

En interrogeant l’élaboration conceptuelle des dimensions actives du soi vivant, Jean-Sébastien Hardy met en avant la proximité insoupçonnée de M. Henry avec Husserl. La conception du « je pense » comme « je peux » inspirée de Maine de Biran supposerait la reprise de deux thèses avancées par Husserl quant au Ich kann. Ce constat permet à l’auteur d’avancer l’hypothèse d’après laquelle le « pouvoir du corps », qui retiendra le plus souvent M. Henry dans sa thématisation et ses descriptions de la « potentiation » charnelle, est justement celui de se mouvoir. Puisque ce « pouvoir-se-mouvoir » ouvre la voie pour comprendre quelle conception de l’activité peut émerger d’une pensée de la passivité radicale de la vie à l’égard d’elle-même, l’enjeu fondamental de cet article est d’examiner les sens et les fonctions que reçoit la potentialité motrice entre Philosophie et phénoménologie du corps et Incarnation, et ce à la lumière notamment des affirmations henryennes.
La méta-phénoménologie chez Levinas et Henry
Authors: Castillo Becerra Patricia
Published: April 2021

E. Levinas et M. Henry reconnaissent tous deux l’importance pour la philosophie occidentale de la pensée de Husserl, mais ils s’en démarquent car ils la trouvent trop intellectualiste. C’est pourquoi ils vont chercher respectivement dans l’autre et dans la vie auto-affective une issue radicale à toute représentation ou discours théorique. L’auteur de cette étude met dès lors en évidence le fait que la critique, par ces deux phénoménologues, des philosophies de la conscience les amène à décrire, dans le cadre de ce qu’elle propose d’appeler une « méta-phénoménologie », des « attitudes » telles que le désir, la douleur et la fatigue. Il sera question dès lors de tâcher de répondre aux questions portant sur la possibilité d’une refondation de la phénoménologie qui irait « au-delà » ou « en deçà » de ce que cette démarche philosophique s’est donné elle-même comme horizon.
Sandwich panel with in-plane honeycombs in different Poisson's ratio under low to medium impact loads
Authors: Luo Yi , Yuan Ke , Shen Lumin , Liu Jiefu
Published: April 2021

In this study, a series of in-plane hexagonal honeycombs with different Poisson's ratio induced by topological diversity are studied, considering re-entrant, semi-re-entrant and convex cells, respectively. The crushing strength of honeycomb in terms of Poisson's ratio is firstly presented. In the previous research, we have studied the compression performance of honeycomb with different negative Poisson's ratio. In this study, a comparative study on the local impact resistance of different sandwich panels is conducted by considering a spherical projectile with low to medium impact speed. Some critical criteria (i.e. local indentation profile, global deflection, impact force and energy absorption) are adopted to analyze the impact resistance. Finally, an influential mechanism of Poisson's ratio on the local impact resistance of sandwich panel is studied by considering the variation of core strength and post-impact collapse behavior.
La Lucha Obrera No la Para la Frontera (There Are No Borders in the Workers’ Struggle)
Authors: Ordaz Jessica
Published: April 2021

The 1970s was a time of growing government repression, incarceration, and subsequent radical activism across the United States and Mexico. This is reflected in the migration, incarceration, and organizing efforts of José Jacques Medina, a Mexican activist who fled to the United States to escape political persecution after his involvement in the 1968 student movement in Mexico City. After the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) apprehended and incarcerated Medina inside an immigration detention facility in El Centro, California, activists, inspired by radical movements such as the Black Panther Party and the Third World Left more broadly, organized to gain Medina political asylum and avoid deportation. This story of radical transborder organizing highlights the connections between the carceral state and migration, prison movements and migrant rights. It also exposes the increasing power of the detention and deportation regime in the United States as the INS collaborated with federal agencies such as the FBI to repress political dissent and control migration.
Fabrication of an all-polysaccharide composite film from hemicellulose and methylcellulose
Authors: Hu Gui-Chun , Fu Shiyu , Chu Fuqiang , Wu Guangyuan
Published: April 2021

There is significant interest in preparing packaging film from sustainable polysaccharides, especially hemicellulose (HC). Hemicellulose isolated from wheat straw tends to aggregate into dissolved particles in aqueous solutions and to form poor films. When methylcellulose (MC) was added into the HC solution, HC and MC formed a HC-MC complex. With increased MC content, the size of the HC-MC complex decreased, and its surface charge increased at the same time. When 35 wt% MC was added into the HC, a continuous HC-MC film formed in the layer structure. The HC-MC film with 75 wt% MC showed a more compact layer structure compared with other films. The tensile strengths of the HC-MC film increased with the MC addition. When MC was added to 75 wt%, the tensile strengths of the HC-MC film reached their maximum values, which were higher than that of MC film. This high film strength suggested these HC-MC composite films have potential applications in packaging material.

In addition, the angles, deflection characteristic, and functions of the bamboo lounge chair were all human-centered design and suitable for human comfort, which can reduce maximum pressure and maintain normal lumbar spine curve in adult.
A Campus-Wide Community-Engaged Learning Study: Insights and Future Directions
Authors: Lund Darren E. , Bragg Bronwyn
Published: April 2021

The authors undertook a campus-wide scan of community-engaged learning (CEL) initiatives at a large University. With collaboration from staff and leadership of the campus Centre For Community-Engaged Learning, the researchers designed an open-ended qualitative interview and questionnaire for senior administrators and faculty leaders across all local undergraduate faculties. Guiding questions for this project included: How do the various faculties and schools within the university define their relationship with community? What activities are considered CEL? How do students engage in these activities? What are the benefits of engaging with community? From these came specific interview questions that were administered to senior administration from each faculty, and further interviews were sought with identified faculty leaders. Findings are listed by faculty, with examples and definitions, and a concluding section offers insights and discussion around strategies to strengthen and enhance CEL.

Resilience and Hope: Exploring Immigrant and Refugee Youth Experiences through Community-based Arts Practice
Authors: McLeod Heather , Lewis Leah B. , Li Xuemei
Published: April 2021

Community-based arts practice is programming that informs and fosters essential components of well-being and belonging, including resilience, community attachment via interpersonal connection and exchange as preventive to mental health stressors. Our Art Hive is in a centre-city high school with immigrant and refugee youth in St. John’s Newfoundland, where newcomers often face an insider/outsider dynamic of disconnection. The pop-up Art Hive is a publicly accessible and community-located art-making space grounded in Adlerian theory, collaborative community development, feminist thought, and social justice. Through a community-situated arts-based participatory process, we sought emergent themes. An earlier phase of our collaborative project involved visual art-making and exploring experiences of inclusion and belonging. A second phase of the project included some of the same youth and new members, adding local students invited by the immigrant and refugee youth. This phase explored resilience and hope as a feature of well-being and functioning and as having a relationship with immigrant and refugee youth experiences in smaller Canadian centres. The Art Hive, a form of community art therapy practice, is structured along seven social parameters: focus on intentional art-making, no critical commentary (positive or negative), non-evaluative in nature, no forced participation, witnessing, sharing, and participatory involvement of facilitators. The participant-planned and hosted final exhibit contributed to learning, sharing, and group cohesiveness. A focus group generated data on how the Art Hive informs cultural experiences and feelings of hope.

The study aims to determine whether early removal of an experimental intracerebral mass alters neurological function. In four experimental series, 0.6mL and 0.8mL balloons were implanted by stereotaxis and inflated into the right caudate nucleus of rats. After 1hour of insufflation, the brains were removed and studied by histopathological analysis. Immunohistochemical was included with protein S-100, marker of neuronal destruction. Four groups were formed (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B) and the variables: time and balloon volume was analyzed. In each series of the time variable, half of the animals had a 0.8mL balloon inflated for three minutes (Group 1A), and the other half had a 0.8mL balloon inflated for ten minutes (Group 2A). In the variable balloon volume series, half of the animals had a 0.6mL balloon inflated for 6 minutes (Group 1B), while the other half had a 0.8mL balloon inflated for 6minutes (Group 2B). In the qualitative and quantitative analysis of the parameters, the shortest group (group 1A), either there was no lesion, or there was partial loss of nervous tissue, while the longest group (group 2A) presented edema and cerebral parenchymal necrosis, reaching 35% of nuclear pyknosis. In the volume dependent groups (groups 1B and 2B), the findings were similar, both with about 30% of pyknotic nuclei. Thus, time was the major determinant of injury, reiterating the prognostic importance of early removal of a spontaneous intracerebral mass.

Anencephaly – a congenital malformation characterized by total or partial absence of the brain, resulting in incompatibility with the extra uterine life of the fetus and reports of violence suffered by these women are usual. Objectives: Identify the violence suffered by pregnant women with anencephalic fetuses and discuss the violence experienced by women in gestations and births of anencephalic fetuses. Method: Life Narratives, being the study conducted between June and November of 2016 in a maternity in Rio de Janeiro, with 12 women diagnosed with anencephalic fetus. After a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the data, obstetric violence arose predominantly in the form of moral judgment of women's choices; bad assistance; abuses; use of jargon; among others. In these experiences permeated by suffering and loss, obstetric violence increases the vulnerability of women. There is a need for a more in-depth debate

Phylogenetic and topological analyses of the bovine interferon-induced transmembrane protein (IFITM3)
Authors: Kim Yong-Chan , Jeong Byung-Hoon
Published: April 2021

Interferon-induced transmembrane protein 3 (IFITM3) plays a pivotal role in antiviral capacity in several species. However, to date, investigations of the IFITM3 protein in cattle have been rare. According to recent studies, interspecific differences in the IFITM3 protein result in several unique features of the IFITM3 protein relative to primates and birds. Thus, in the present study, we investigated the bovine IFITM3 protein based on nucleotide and amino acid sequences to find its distinct features. We found that the bovineIFITM3gene showed a significantly different length and homology relative to other species, including primates, rodents and birds. Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the bovineIFITM3gene and IFITM3 protein showed closer evolutionary distance with primates than with rodents. However, cattle showed an independent clade among primates, rodents and birds. Multiple sequence alignment of the IFITM3 protein indicated that the bovine IFITM3 protein contains 36 bovine-specific amino acids. Notably, the bovine IFITM3 protein was predicted to prefer inside-to-outside topology of intramembrane domain 1 (IMD1) and inside-to-outside topology of transmembrane domain 2 by TMpred and three membrane embedding domains according to the SOSUI system.
A novel scheme for island detection in microgrids based on fuzzy c-means clustering technique
Authors: Damanjani Amin , Hosseini Abardeh Mohamad , Azarfar Azita , Hojjat Mehrdad
Published: April 2021

Microgrids (MGs) are capable to work at different operation modes, namely grid-connected or islanded, which make a significant change in the network fault current level. These changes may lead to problems and should be detected fast to do the proper protection actions accordingly and prevent blackouts. Moreover, some island detection methods suffer from the drawbacks of high computation burden and time-consuming procedure of training data to detect the islanded mode. For this purpose, in this paper, a faster and less computation burden island detection scheme without the need for training data is proposed which detects the islanded mode by analyzing the fault current data obtained from a continuous sampling using the phasor measurement unit (PMU). The sampled data are utilized in the fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering to determine the network operation mode. The proposed scheme works in two phases. In the offline phase, the root mean square (RMS) of the current amplitude for islanded mode is determined, and in the online phase, the center of the measured data is compared to the RMS value to detect the MG operation mode at a decision making procedure. It is proved that the proposed island detection scheme is an applicable technique for detecting the islanded mode in MGs.

Authors: Ayaz Kanat Ece , Şimşek Deniz
Published: April 2021

Background and Study Aim. This study investigates expert and amateur basketball players' visual tracking strategies accuracy and inaccuracy free throws.

Material and Methods. A total of 22 university student, 11 of whom were experts (n = 5 females, n = 6 males) and 11 amateurs (n = 5 females, n = 6 males), without visual impairment, participated the study. Each athlete performed a total of 10 throws. The normal distribution of data recorded in both accurate and inaccurate throws was checked with the Shapiro-Wilk test. All of the data received on accurate and inaccurate throws were analyzed by independent samples t-test.

Results. Expert basketball players were recorded to have an average of 78% accurate throws out of 10, and as for amateur basketball players, they were recorded to have 34%. During accurate throws, the quiet eye durations of expert basketball players were identified as ~886ms, and quiet eye durations during inaccurate throws were as ~570ms. During accurate throws, the quiet eye durations of amateur basketball players were identified as ~612ms, and quiet eye durations during inaccurate throws were as ~388ms. The study's findings reveal that expert basketball players develop statistically longer quiet eye and fixation durations than amateur basketball players.

Conclusion. The study's findings have supported the phenomenon of longer quiet eye durations during expert athletes' specific motor skills. The knowledge obtained from the study's findings is thought to have the utmost significance in identifying the quiet eye durations of expert basketball players and teaching their visual strategies to amateur level athletes to improve their performance.
Relationship between somatotype components and muscle fiber type
Authors: Çınarlı Fahri S.
Published: April 2021

Background and Study Aim. It is stated that genetic factors, lifestyle and demographic components affect the morphological properties of the muscle; moreover, there is a relationship between adiposity indicators and skeletal muscle. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the somatotype components and obesity markers and the percentage of the fast twitch fibril type of skeletal muscle.

Material and Methods. Nine male students of sports sciences voluntarily participated in the study (age = 22 ± 3.24 years). By applying the isokinetic fatigue test protocol, which is a non-invasive method, the percentage of fast twitch fibril of the vastus lateralis muscle was estimated. Body fat ratio and somatotype body types of the participants were determined as indicators of obesity.

Results. There was a high positive linear correlation between the obesity indicators (endomorphy and body fat ratio) and the percentage of fast twitch fibril (r=0.738; r=0.809, p<0.01 respectively). The variance between the endomorphy and body fat ratio expressing fatness and the fast twitch fibril percentage were found to be acceptable  (54-65% explained variance). A moderate negative linear correlation was found between the ectomorphy and percentage of fast-twitch fibril (r= -0.674, p<0.05). Finally, a moderate positive but statistically insignificant linear correlation was found between the mesomorphy and the percentage of fast twitch fibril (r=0.623, p>0.05).

Conclusion. The findings show that the total fatness level of the body and the percentage of fast twitch fibril are not independent parameters and have a positive effect on each other.

Published: April 2021

Background and Study Aim. Motivation as a psychological feature that arouses and energizes people to action towards physical activity and makes them sustain to a physically active behavior. Motivation leads to increased participation in physical activity.  The objective of this study was to determine the association of physical activity to exercise motivation of university students at different levels of body mass index.

Material and Methods. 140 undergraduate students Mean age 19±0.70 years randomly categorized into underweight <18.5 kg/m2 [n= 37: 26.4%]; normal-weight 18.5-24.9 kg/m2 [n= 31: 22.1%]; obese ≥30.00 kg/m2 [n=37: 26.4%] and obese class III ≥40.00 kg/m2 [n=35: 25%]. Exercise motivation measured through BREQ-2.

Results. ANOVA revealed highly significant difference among BMI categories on intrinsic regulation (p=0.007<.05) and identified regulation (p=0.006<.05). Obese class III students differed on external regulation (p=0.003) and introjected regulations (p=0.011). The association of physical activity to exercise motivation revealed that students who engaged more time in physical activities had significantly higher scores on identified regulation (p < 0.05) and intrinsic regulation (p < 0.01).

Conclusions. The results suggested that university students in all BMI categories were internally motivated. The normal weight students exhibited high intrinsic and identified regulation, which reflected as better autonomous motivation. Physical activity had strong association with intrinsic regulation and identified regulation. Obese class students exhibited higher degree of extrinsic motivation and amotivation. Students who engaged more time in physical activity had better intrinsic motivation.

Resumen El presente estudio toma como objetivo describir y comparar las distintas fases de desarrollo de una base de orientación no lineal elaborada por un grupo de 25 alumnos de sexto de primaria al resolver cuatro problemas de patrones matemáticos. Se realiza un análisis cualitativo de los ítems que aparecen en las distintas fases de desarrollo de la base de orientación no lineal a partir de las producciones del alumnado y de los cuestionarios de coevaluación que sirven como método de feedback. Nuestros resultados enfatizan que, de una fase a otra, la base de orientación no lineal experimenta cambios en cuanto a la planificación, revisión y explicación del proceso de resolución que ayudan al alumnado a verbalizar, de un modo más exhaustivo, tanto el método de resolución como los procesos metacognitivos llevados a cabo.

Resumo Este artigo apresenta resultados de uma pesquisa de doutorado que teve como objetivo investigar conhecimentos profissionais que são mobilizados/desenvolvidos por participantes do Programa Institucional de Bolsa de Iniciação à Docência (PIBID), quando inseridos em um processo formativo apoiado na perspectiva de ensino exploratório, e responder à seguinte questão norteadora: que práticas realizadas no processo formativo apoiadas na abordagem de ensino exploratório de Matemática podem contribuir para a mobilização/desenvolvimento de conhecimentos profissionais? Para isso, realizou-se um processo formativo elaborado com base na perspectiva de desenvolvimento profissional docente e apoiado na abordagem de ensino exploratório de Matemática, realizado com participantes do PIBID, especificamente com licenciandos em Matemática e professores da Educação Básica. Para atingir o objetivo, foi feita uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho interpretativo. Como parâmetros de análises, buscou-se investigar aspectos relacionados ao desenvolvimento profissional docente, especificamente, aos subdomínios do Conhecimento Matemático para o Ensino (BALL; THAMES; PHELPS, 2008). Assim, concluiu-se que foram mobilizados/desenvolvidos pelos participantes da pesquisa conhecimentos profissionais relativos ao: Conhecimento Especializado do Conteúdo (SCK); Conhecimento do Conteúdo e dos Estudantes (KCS); e Conhecimento do Conteúdo e do Ensino (KCT). As práticas que contribuíram para a mobilização/desenvolvimento desses conhecimentos foram: escolher uma tarefa desafiante e interessante aos alunos; antecipar suas possíveis resoluções; buscar conhecer o objeto matemático de forma detalhada; explicar a dinâmica da aula; usar um material manipulável; monitorar a realização da tarefa; selecionar as resoluções a serem discutidas na aula; sequenciá-las a fim de propiciar um encadeamento lógico das ideias; manter um clima harmonioso para a discussão das ideias matemáticas; e conectar as respostas dos alunos.

Authors: Tinti Douglas da Silva , Barbosa Geovane Carlos , Lopes Celi Espasandin
Published: April 2021

Resumo Objetiva-se neste artigo evidenciar as contribuições do uso do software IRAMUTEQ como ferramenta de análise de narrativas (auto)biográficas no campo da Educação Matemática. O corpus de análise é composto por 34 narrativas, em que futuros pedagogos da Universidade Federal de Ouro Preto narram suas trajetórias com a Matemática, desde a Educação Infantil até o Ensino Superior. Tais narrativas foram produzidas durante o desenvolvimento de uma disciplina do curso de Pedagogia em que se discutem os processos de ensino e aprendizagem da Matemática. Como estratégia de análise, selecionaram-se a nuvem de palavras e a análise de similitude. A utilização desses recursos analíticos possibilitou ampliar o olhar para as características das narrativas, por meio da formação de categorias e subcategorias, que emergem das ligações entre as palavras com maior frequência. Concluiu-se que o uso de softwares como o IRAMUTEQ precisa ser ampliado e discutido no âmbito da Educação Matemática, sobretudo em pesquisas com fontes (auto)biográficas.

Resumo Objetivos investigar a relação entre número de doenças crônicas e autoavaliação de saúde/capacidade funcional em relação a sexo e diferentes níveis educacionais. Métodos foi realizado um estudo transversal com 419 idosos que haviam participado do estudo FIBRA, o qual investiga fragilidade em indivíduos idosos. Foram avaliadas variáveis sociodemográficas, doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, autoavaliação de saúde e capacidade funcional. Foi utilizado o teste qui-quadrado ou exato de Fisher para testar as associações entre número de doenças e autoavaliação de saúde e capacidade funcional, com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados A autoavaliação de saúde negativa foi significativamente associada com número de doenças crônicas na amostra geral, no sexo feminino e em ambas as categorias de escolaridade. Por outro lado, relatar dependência parcial ou total para realizar uma ou mais atividades instrumentais de vida diária (AIVDs) apresentou associação significativa para número de doenças crônicas na amostra completa, sexo feminino e 0 a 4 anos de escolaridade. Conclusão as doenças crônicas possuem um impacto negativo na autoavaliação de saúde, especialmente em mulheres e em relação aos anos de escolaridade; e na dependência funcional para AIVDs, especialmente em mulheres e pessoas com 0 a 4 anos de escolaridade.
Genuine Reactionary: The Works of Nicholás Gómez Dávila
Authors: Kosilova Elena
Published: April 2021

The article deals with the work of the Colombian philosopher and writer Nicholás Gómez Dávila, and primarily his five-volume work Scholia to an Implicit Text (Escolios a un texto implícito). This work is a collection of over 10,000 brilliant aphorisms. Gómez Dávila called himself a reactionary thinker. His aphorisms express a critical attitude towards the modern world. He criticized the shortcomings of democracies, and was strongly opposed to revolutions and the idea of progress. He saw progress as a gradual slide down an inclined plane. His ideal is a traditional society that is organized hierarchically. He also sharply criticized contemporary art, in which he believed little skill was left with very large pretensions for originality. He is a religious thinker who did not accept the ecclesiastical relief of the Second Vatican Council. An unattractive portrait of a man of our day looms in his aphorisms. He writes about fools and vulgar people who pursue fashion that attracts them by its superficial brilliance, while the “genuine reactionary” is always opposed to fashion. The reactionary is a loner by nature, does not tolerate crowds, lives an inner life, and communicates with philosophy and art. In the modern world, Gómez Dávila finds expressions of Gnostic tendencies from which comes the idea of the deification of man and the oblivion of God. He contrasts the intellect as something dry and abstract to intelligence which must live through existential conflicts. Some have compared Gómez Dávila with Nietzsche, but this comparison does not seem relevant.

Authors: Kukk Kaia
Published: April 2021

The protocol describes obtaining coding DNA sequences of plant proteins when genomic data is not available, but there are sequences of orthologs. The protocol was created during implementing the project no 1.1.1.2/VIAA/2/18/286 "Optimization of novel plant derived enzyme expression in microorganisms for biotechnological application" funded by European Regional Development Fund. Only the first two steps of the protocol are specific to plant material, the rest is universal.
The Opioid Crisis: How Counselors Can and Should Respond
Authors: Doyle Kevin S.
Published: April 2021

Drug overdose deaths in the United States have reached unprecedented levels in recent years and continue to rise. Counselors are uniquely positioned to respond to this crisis but may be reluctant or not equipped to do so due to a variety of factors, including scope of practice concerns. Responding to this crisis, however, is a clinical necessity and an ethical imperative for all practicing counselors, regardless of specialty area. A review of proposed responses at the macro/systemic, professional, and personal levels is presented, with concrete examples within each level, to assist counselors in identifying and implementing professional activity, advocacy, and engagement to address the unprecedented national public health emergency. Specific considerations for advocacy and for clinical practice are proposed to further assist counselors and motivate action.
Los derrubios estratificados holocenos de Praón (Picos de Europa, Montañas Cantábricas)
Authors: Ruiz-Fernández Jesús , García-Hernández Cristina , Fernández Susana
Published: April 2021

En este artículo se estudian los derrubios estratificados y cementados presentes en Praón, un sector de la baja montaña de los Picos de Europa. La realización de trabajo de campo sistemático ha permitido establecer el contexto geomorfológico en el que están insertos los derrubios estudiados, caracterizándolos desde el punto de vista sedimentológico. Se han obtenido dos edades 14C en restos de gasterópodos insertos a 4 metros (10.775 ± 325 años cal BP) y a 1,7 metros (5.175 ± 135 años cal BP) de profundidad, infiriendo las condiciones de precipitación del cemento carbonatado a partir de la realización de análisis isotópicos. Estas condiciones habrían sido más frías para la muestra más antigua y mucho más cálidas para la más reciente. Los resultados de este trabajo evidencian que, derrubios estratificados como los estudiados, los cuales son abundantes en el área de los Picos de Europa, podrían haberse originado en condiciones climáticas diversas y no necesariamente de frío extremo, ni exclusivas de ambientes periglaciares sensu stricto, no teniendo tampoco por qué corresponderse, desde el punto cronológico, con el Tardiglaciar (en cronologías de 14 a 10 ka), el periodo frío al que tradicionalmente han sido adscritos de forma relativa en las Montañas Cantábricas.
