Percursos sonoros da “Distanteresina”: a moderna canção popular piauiense no interior do debate nacional
Authors: Castelo Branco Brito Fábio Leonardo
Published: March 2023

A configuração do campo de estudos em torno da música popular vem se definindo, no âmbito da escrita da história do Brasil, como parte da virada historiográfica decorrente da ascensão de paradigmas teóricos e metodológicos vinculados à história social e à história cultural em universidades de diferentes regiões do país. Contemplando pesquisas que versam sobre temas diversos dentro desse universo, tais como a polifonia paulistana na década de 19301, o samba e suas conexões com o Estado Novo2, a Tropicália e suas controvérsias3, a chamada “música cafona”4, o rap5 e a música sertaneja6, tais produções permitiram que, para além do eixo Sul-Sudeste, ocorresse uma crescente regionalização do debate que põe sons e sentidos no foco de historiadores.

Authors: Taghizadeh-Waghefi Ali , Petrov Asen , Wilbring Manuel , Alexiou Konstantin , Kappert Utz , Matschke Klaus , Tugtekin Sems-Malte
Published: March 2023

Background

Significant uncertainty exists about the optimal timing of surgery for infectious endocarditis (IE) surgery in patients with active SARS-CoV-2 infection. This case series and a systematic review of the literature were carried out to evaluate the timing of surgery and postsurgical outcomes for patients with COVID-19–associated IE.

Methods

The PubMed database was searched for reports published from June 20, 2020, to June 24, 2021, that contained the terms infective endocarditis and COVID-19. A case series of 8 patients from the authors' facility was also added.

Results

A total of 12 cases were included, including 4 case reports that met inclusion criteria in addition to a case series of 8 patients from the authors' facility. Mean (SD) patient age was 61.9 (17.1) years, and patients were predominantly male (91.7%). Being overweight was the main comorbidity among patients studied (7/8 [87.5%]). Among all patients evaluated in this study, dyspnea (n = 8 [66.7%]) was the leading symptom, followed by fever (n = 7 [58.3%]). Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus caused 75.0% of COVID-19–associated IE. The mean (SD) time to surgery was 14.5 (15.6) days (median, 13 days). In-hospital and 30-day mortality for all evaluated patients was 16.7% (n = 2).

Conclusion

Clinicians must carefully assess patients diagnosed with COVID-19 to prevent missing underlying diseases such as IE. If IE is suspected, clinicians should avoid postponement of crucial diagnostic and treatment steps.
Work with embryonic stem cells – legal considerations
Authors: Gärditz Klaus Ferdinand
Published: March 2023

Apparently, there is a broad scope of legal issues affecting the work with embryonic stem cells. I cannot address them all. I would like to focus on two fields of law and discuss, rather in the overview, some salient issues of German constitutional and administrative law framing the scientific research process. Compared to the sophisticated scientific work we discuss here, legal arguments and operations remain blunt and awkward, addressing rather the identity of a society than the fluid frontiers of science and technology.

Aufdeckung von Steuerhinterziehung in der Schweiz durch den automatischen Informationsaustausch
Authors: Pfaff Dieter , Ruffing-Straube Patricia , Staubli David
Published: March 2023

Die Hinterziehung von Steuern soll durch den international eingeführten automatischen Informationsaustausch (AIA) aufgedeckt und eingedämmt werden. Zudem besteht in der Schweiz seit 2010 die straflose Selbstanzeige. Im Zusammenhang mit der internationalen Einführung des AIA ist ein deutlicher Anstieg der straflosen Selbstanzeigen zu beobachten. Dabei werden erhebliche kantonale Unterschiede sichtbar. So ist die Anzahl strafloser Selbstanzeigen pro zehntausend Steuerpflichtige in Kantonen mit hohen Vermögensteuern, getrieben durch die bevölkerungsstarken Genferseekantone, nach der Einführung des AIA tendenziell höher. Da das Selbstanzeigeverhalten im Zuge des AIA vorwiegend ausländisches Vermögen und Einkommen betrifft, könnte auch der Anteil der zugewanderten Wohnbevölkerung eine Rolle spielen.
Preparation and potential application of amino-functionalized titanosilicates to removal of Th(IV) in aqueous solutions: optimization using response surface methodology (RSM)
Authors: Alamdar Milani Saeid , Neishabori Salehi Rasoul , Manouchehri Peyman , Faryadi Mohammad
Published: March 2023

Mesoporous titanosilicates (TiSil) with a size of almost 25 nm were prepared by an alkali-assisted hydro-thermal route, as an choice for developing efficient adsorbents of Th(IV) ions. TiSil were functionalized with the amino functional group (-NH2) from 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) by post-preparation method. The obtained amino-grafted titanosilicates (TiSilNH2) were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. Adsorption of Th(IV) ions on TiSilNH2 was examined in aqueous solution. Response surface methodology (RSM) based on central composite design (CCD) was applied to optimize the four essential process variables namely initial pH and initial concentration of Th(IV) ions of aqueous solution, amount of adsorbent, and adsorption process temperature for the Th(IV) removal. The adequacy of the model was investigated, and it was deemed to be statistically significant. The optimal predicted adsorption capacity of TiSilNH2 for Th(IV) ions was 83.04 mg/g and the actual value was 84.8 mg/g. The equilibrium adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir, Freundlich, Dubinin–Radushkevich and Temkin isotherm models. The equi-librium data were best re-presented by Langmuir isotherm model, showing maximum monolayer adsorption capacity of 87.71 mg/g. The thermodynamic parameters indicated that the Th(IV) adsorption on the TiSilNH2 was a spontaneous, and endo-thermic process at the studied temperatures and occurred via physisorption. Adsorbent recovery by using 0.5 M HNO3 solution for adsorbent reuse indicated that the adsorbent was regenerable and could be employed frequently.
The effect of temperature on the tensile properties and failure mechanisms of two-dimensional braided composites
Authors: Li Qianhe , Gao Yantao , Ruan Fangtao
Published: March 2023

Two-dimensional (2D) braided composites have excellent structural integrity and damage tolerance. Currently, there are few researches focused on the effect of temperature on tensile failure behaviors of 2D braided composites. In this study, 2D biaxial braided composites with different fiber materials were prepared, and the tensile properties and failure mechanisms of these braided composites at different temperatures were studied by means of the tensile test and the high-definition charge coupled device optical microscope. The results show that temperature has significant effects on the tensile properties and fracture damage of 2D braided composites. As the temperature increases, the tensile properties of the two braided composites decrease obviously, and their external fracture failure becomes subtle, while their internal deformation damage becomes significant. Moreover, the differences between the two fibers in tensile fracture behaviors of composites can be more conspicuously observed at higher temperatures.
Regulation of branched versus linear Arp2/3‐generated actin filaments
Authors: Cao Luyan , Ghasemi Foad , Way Michael , Jégou Antoine , Romet‐Lemonne Guillaume
Published: March 2023

Activation of the Arp2/3 complex by VCA‐motif‐bearing actin nucleation‐promoting factors results in the formation of “daughter” actin filaments branching off the sides of pre‐existing “mother” filaments. Alternatively, when stimulated by SPIN90, Arp2/3 directly nucleates “linear” actin filaments. Uncovering the similarities and differences between these two mechanisms is fundamental to understanding how actin cytoskeleton dynamics are regulated. Here, analysis of individual filaments reveals that, unexpectedly, the VCA motifs of WASP, N‐WASP, and WASH destabilize existing branches, as well as SPIN90‐Arp2/3 at linear filament ends. Furthermore, branch stabilizer cortactin and destabilizer GMF each have a similar impact on SPIN90‐activated Arp2/3. However, unlike branch junctions, SPIN90‐Arp2/3 at the ends of linear filaments is not destabilized by piconewton forces and does not become less stable with time. It thus appears that linear and branched Arp2/3‐generated filaments respond similarly to the regulatory proteins we have tested, albeit with some differences, but significantly differ in their responses to aging and mechanical stress. These kinetic differences likely reflect the small conformational differences recently reported between Arp2/3 in branch junctions and linear filaments and suggest that their turnover in cells may be differently regulated.
Social Protection of Digital Platform Workers under Norwegian Law
Authors:   Faculty of Law, University of Bergen, Norway, Eidsvaag Tine
Published: March 2023

The main aim of this article is to investigate some encounters between the Norwegian system of economic risk-pooling for labour engaging individuals, and the emerging digital platform economy. The author argues that Norwegian labour and employment law, as well as social insurance law, may fall short in alleviating the economic strains of the typical digital platform worker in cases of loss of income. This is partly due to legal classification: Where Norwegian labour and employment law operates with two categories of labour engaging individuals: employees and non-employees, Norwegian social insurance law includes three categories: employees, freelancers, and self-employed persons. Employees are entitled to the most comprehensive and high-level coverage of income losses. The legal status of digital platform workers is basically unclear, and they may belong to each of the three categories, depending on contract terms. It is also argued that the Covid 19-pandemic has reinforced the differences between salaried, full-time, employees, and atypical workers such as digital platform workers. The compensation measures issued by the Norwegian state to cover income losses in relation to the pandemic did not meet the needs of the typical –freelance –digital platform worker to the same extent as those of undertakings and ‘traditional’ employees. The article suggests some measures to clarify the legal position and to give a better coverage for digital platform workers in cases of loss of income.
Essential Security Interests of States - Some Observations on the Emerging Practice under International Law
Authors:   Faculty of Law and Administration, University of Łódź, Poland, Połatyńska Joanna
Published: March 2023

This paper tackles the notion of the essential security interest of a State as an exception enshrined in numerous treaties since the beginning of the 20th century. The purpose of the analysis is to establish whether the practice of international courts, tribunals, and other bodies competent to settle the disputes under international law has created any guidelines for interpretation of sometimes vague and discretionary terms used in the wording of essential security interest clauses included in different international treaties. The method is based on the exegetical analysis of jurisprudenceof international courts, tribunals and dispute settlement bodies in cases concerning interpretation of essential security interest clauses. The protection of vital interests of the State, designed as an exception to treaty-based international obligations,has been well established in treaty practice. The wordings of particular essential security interest clauses differ depending on the objects and purposes of the particular treaties, but the core stipulations of the essential security interest clauses remain very similar. The analysis of the judgments, awards and decisions allows to formulate some general conclusions as to the application of essential security interest clauses. Measures allowed under essential security interest exception must be intended toprotect ‘essential security interests’ of the invoking State. Although States remain discretion to define their essential security interests, it must be done in good faith, consistent with the ordinary meaning of the stipulation and treaties’ object and purpose.
Tonic Eye-Opening Associated with the «Burst-Suppression» Pattern in Patients with Acute Anoxic Brain Injury (Case Series)
Authors: Sinkin M. V. , Broutian A. G. , Seliverstova E. G. , Salimov K. A. , Baranova E. A. , Popugaev K. A.
Published: March 2023

Massive anoxic brain injury caused by cardiac arrest leads to wakefulness suppression up to coma. The prediction of outcome is based on the analysis of the clinical features and the results of instrumental tests. One of the well-known signs of an unfavorable prognosis is involuntary motor activity, which is most commonly represented by myoclonus. In case of their cortical origin, they are accompanied by epileptiform activity in the electroencephalogram (EEG).

Material and methods. We present a case series and literature review concerning a very rare fatal sign, non-rhythmic spontaneous eye opening accompanied by a «burst-suppression» pattern (BS) in the EEG. All patients suffered from transient acute hypotension or arrhythmia that required cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in three cases. A literature search found only 11 publications describing post-anoxic tonic eye-opening (PATEO).

Results. The PATEO with BS was observed for less than a day followed by cessation of brain bioelectric activity in all patients. Only two patients exhibited isolated eye-opening and closing, while the rest had axial and limbs myoclonus just after CPR. In one case, eyelid opening was followed by a clonic movement of the head to the right, the EEG bursts were prolonged and had spike-like morphology. Three patients received antiepileptic and sedative therapy. All patients died in 3-43 days after the fatal cardiovascular event.

Visual superposition of bursts in EEG and myogram of m. orbicularis oculi demonstrating identical morphology for EEG and myographic bursts was described for the first time. Our cases and literature review confirm that, regardless of the intensive treatment, patients with PATEO have fatal outcomes.

Conclusion. The clinical and electrographic PATEO with BS phenomenon always indicates a lethal prognosis. The origin of PATEO is still under discussion. We suggest that it could be caused by disinhibition of subcortical and stem structures during extensive death of cerebral cortical neurons.
A new method for zone development observation for updraft rice husk gasification
Authors: Onthong Kasemsil , Charoensuk Jarruwat
Published: March 2023

Experiments were carried out with a new method for assessing an updraft gasification reactor. An attached side door enabled the investigation of zone development by stopping air supply at specific times, when the thickness of biomass, char, and ash layers were measured. Development in zone thicknesses of biomass, char, and ash with time associated with temperature distribution provided information about the speed of flame propagation inside the reactor. Initially, pyrolysis and volatile combustion occurred, as evidenced by the high mass loss rate and high growth rate of the char layer. Shrinkage in the char layer took place later, and this phenomenon was governed by char glowing, which was relatively slow in mass loss rate. Finally, the fully developed char layer was obtained. The results from four different air mass fluxes under updraft configuration were presented, showing the differences in layer development. Temperature profiles at each time step revealed that the location of peak temperature coincided with the location of ash-char interface for every air mass flux. This effect was due to the high energy release during the oxidation of fixed carbon.
Effects of selected joint parameters on tensile strength of steel bolt-nut connections in Cupressus funebris wood
Authors: Chen Ming , Li Shangguan , Lyu Jianhua
Published: March 2023

The influences of various factors on the tensile strength loading caused by steel bolt-nut connections on Cupressus funebris wood components in directions perpendicular and parallel to the grain were studied. The focus was the interference fit parameter between the nut and the pre-drilling hole, the nut embedded depth, and the embedded nut diameter using the single factor method. The optimum parameters for bolt-nut connections with C. funebris wood components both perpendicular and parallel to the grain component structures were obtained via a single factor experiment and verified by simulation using ANSYS finite element analysis software. The experimental and simulation-based results revealed that the optimum parameters with maximum tensile strength for the bolt-nut connections with C. funebris wood components were an interference fit of -0.80 mm, a nut embedded depth of 25 mm, and an embedded nut diameter of 15.5 mm. Considering the needs of practical applications, the optimum interference fit parameter between the nut and pre-drilling hole was -0.80 mm, increasing the length of the nut within the allowable range of part size was beneficial, and it was not suitable to increase the diameter of the embedded nut to improve the part’s performance.

Le rôle des Hongrois dans la Chronique de Morée •
Authors: Török Ábel
Published: March 2023

The study examines the role and perception of Hungarians in the Chronicle of Morea (Τὸ Χρονικὸν τοῦ Μορέως). It presents the passages in which the Chronicle mentions the Hungarian people or the Kingdom of Hungary, and compares them with passages in other contemporary literary and historical works in Old French and Byzantine Greek that also mention Hungarians. It seeks to answer the question why the Chronicle, which tells the history of the hostile crusader states, speaks of the Hungarians, who were generally close to Byzantium and helped the successor states of the Byzantine Empire, in a more laudatory tone and in more praiseworthy terms than other contemporary sources closer to the Hungarians. The study also examines the role of the descendants of Béla III, the Saint-Omer brothers, and the literary role of Sir Nicolas II de Saint-Omer. Finally, it analyses the Chronicle's excerpt of the succession dispute of Akova, which is closely linked to the descendants of Béla III.
Alternative discourses and their evaluative power in the journalists’ coverage of a public sector workers’ strike in Botswana
Authors: Rantsudu Boitshwarelo
Published: March 2023

This paper investigates how the quotation of external voices in hard news reporting can be exploited by journalists for evaluative purposes when the same news source is quoted by different newspapers. While attribution of news content to external news sources affords journalists support in asserting the objectivity of their news reports, it has also been established that the use of attribution can function as an evaluative outlet for journalists. In this paper I examine how two newspapers selectively (de)emphasise contrasting news narratives when they quote the same external news source and report the same event, thus creating alternative discourses in their news coverage. I examine how the journalists’ indirect evaluation of the external news source as either conciliatory or confrontational is reflected in such alternative discourses, using Botswana as a case study. The news reports selected for analysis are parallel news stories from a government-owned newspaper, Daily News, and a privately owned newspaper, Mmegi, and they cover the 2011 nationwide public sector workers’ strike. The findings show that the reporting was somewhat set in implied antagonistic relations between the government and the workers’ unions.
Ephemeral income
Authors: Barlow Josh , Morrow Guy
Published: March 2023

There are two main types of income earned by musicians. The first is capital income, which is the type of income derived from owning the intellectual rights to music, either through record sales or leveraging moral rights. The second is labour income, which is generated from live performance and takes the form of performance fees. Historically, these two activities are considered separate with some ontological and economic interdependences, creating two different streams of income; however, we present a case which shows that the two merged when much ‘live’ music appeared online during the COVID-19 pandemic in the form of livestreams. These livestreams theoretically allow musicians to earn both capital income and labour income from the same activity. We use ‘design culture’, as a form of organizational culture, to describe how musicians can use the new livestreaming trend to realize better/fairer deals for themselves. This is especially prescient because in contemporary history, most musicians cannot earn a sustainable income from releasing recorded music, so have relied on live performance. Live performance has thus become less ephemeral, as has the income derived from it.
“It wasn’t about Me”
Authors: Wines Megan
Published: March 2023

This paper uncovers how Terrence McNally’s 1998 gay passion play Corpus Christi braids together queerness and religiosity to highlight that queer people are also welcome at the “spiritual table.” By bringing together his life experiences as a gay man who grew up in Texas with the biblical passion story, McNally highlights ways in which the Bible has been weaponized against gay men specifically, while at the same time creatively retelling Jesus’s execution to undercut that weaponization.
Some Illustrated Valmiki Ramayana Manuscripts
Authors: Brockington John
Published: March 2023

The many manuscripts of the various versions of the Ramayana include a much smaller number of illustrated manuscripts, besides the frequent sets or series illustrating the Rama story (often termed manuscripts, though lacking more than a caption or brief description of the scene depicted). I focus here on a small number of illustrated manuscripts of the Valmuki Ramayana: one datable around 1605–19 in sub-imperial Mughal style commissioned by Bir Singh Deo, one dated between 1649 and 1653 for Jagat Singh of Mewar, and three sets of illustrations which seem intended to form between them a third illustrated manuscript: the small Guler and Mankot Ramayanas and Manaku’s ‘Siege of Lanka’ series, from about 1710 to 1725. The issues that I address are: why were such extensive and expensive manuscripts undertaken, what was the nature of the text copied, and what is the relationship of text to illustration, in terms of how a scene is illustrated and of its correct identification? Exploration of these issues can reveal a significant amount about the patrons, the scribes, the illuminators and the society of the period when such manuscripts were produced.
A combination preparation based on antibiotic, cluster silver and bacteriophage for treatment of infectious diseases caused by Staphylococcus aureus and S. aureus MRSA
Authors: Pugachev Vladimir G. , Totmenina Olga D.
Published: March 2023

The problems of bacterial infections in medicine and veterinary medicine require careful study and rapid solution. Due to continuous and, in some cases, irrational use of antibiotics, the efficiency of their effect on host has been noticeably decreasing; moreover, resistance to antibacterial drugs is steadily growing, antibiotic-resistant strains emerge, which are not amenable to conventional medical treatment. The unprecedented rise of pathogenic bacteria resistance to antibiotics requires generation of new drugs to combat them. One of the ways to increase the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy is to use combination drugs. Combination dosage forms provide an increased therapeutic effect and should not be toxic to the body. To overcome the microbial resistance reducing host burden of antibiotics, we proposed a combination preparation based on antibiotic, cluster silver and specific bacteriophage for treatment of infectious diseases caused by S. aureus, including MRSA strains. Each component has already proven in the treatment of pathogen-caused infectious diseases. But while using this combination agent, it became possible to reduce the amount of antibiotic and get rid of antibiotic-resistant and phage-resistant forms of bacteria. The study showed the effectiveness of the combination preparation on S. aureus MRSA bacteria, while reducing the amount of antibiotics in proposed composition by 24 times compared to use of antibiotic alone. The efficacy of the preparation containing was as follows: 10 mg/ml gentamicin, 7 mg/ml cluster silver and 106 BOV/ml bacteriophage, on S. aureus MRSA bacteria in suspension is comparable to the effectiveness of gentamicin with a concentration of 40 mg/ml. For S. aureus 209 and S. aureus ssp. bacteria with reduced resistance to antibiotics, the use of two-component compositions (antibiotic + cluster silver; antibiotic + bacteriophage) also allowed to reduce the antibiotic concentration by 23 times. It should be noted that with a constant amount of antibiotic, increasing the amount of cluster silver by 45 times, there is a rise in bactericidal properties of the resulting preparations. Repeated introduction of drug dose allows to achieve a marked decrease in level of pathogenic microorganisms in the suspension studied. This drug has no limitations depending on the state and degree of microbial resistance.

Published: March 2023

Patients with COVID-19 are susceptible to developing oropharyngeal candidiasis and invasive candidiasis. Invasive fungal infections can complicate the clinical course of COVID-19 and are associated with a substantially increased mortality. An important reason for the successful treatment of candidiasis is to determine the sensitivity of clinical fungal isolates to antimycotics. A microbiological study of oropharyngeal swabs was performed in 54 patients aged 33 to 94 years (mean age 67.4 years) with severe and extremely severe COVID-19, who were treated in the intensive care unit at the height of clinical manifestations. Most patients (95%) had comorbidities: hypertension (68.5%), diabetes mellitus (24%), coronary artery disease (22.2%), chronic heart failure (38.9%), obesity (23.8%), cardiac arrhythmias (20.4%), chronic cerebral ischemia (56.1%), varicose veins of the lower extremities (5.5%), chronic kidney disease (20.4%), liver cirrhosis (5.5%), HIV infection (5.5%). A comparative analysis of oropharyngeal microbial biocenosis showed differences in the frequency of occurrence of opportunistic microbial species, as well as in the number of members in microbial associations. Polyspecific fungal-bacterial associations were more common and dominated polyspecific bacterial associations. According to the results, a high frequency of oropharyngeal colonization in patients with severe COVID-19 by strains of fungi of the genus Candida was established. The vast majority of strains of fungi of the genus Candida (85.2%) were resistant to antimycotics of the azole group. A high frequency (85.2%) of oropharyngeal colonization in resuscitation patients with azole-resistant strains of fungi of the genus Candida was revealed. C. albicans dominated among Candida. C. albicans was isolated in 37 (68.5%) patients, C. pararapsilosis in 6 (11.1%), C. tropicalis in 3 (5.5%), C. krusei in 2 (3.7%)%), C. kefyr in 1 (1.9%), C. glabrata in 1 (1.9%) patient. In 11 (20.4%) patients, associations of C. albicans and other Candida species were identified. The level of fungi in the material was etiologically significant ( 104105 CFU/tamp.) in 80% of patients. The vast majority of strains (more than 70%) were resistant to fluconazole and voriconazole, which should be taken into account when prescribing candidiasis therapy in patients with COVID-19. The MIC for fluconazole against C. albicans strains was 1024 g/ml for 4 isolates, 512 g/ml for 7 isolates, and 128 g/ml for 15 isolates. The maximum MIC values for voriconazole against C. albicans was 256 g/ml.
Czech Readers between Benefits and Threats of the Algorithmic News Personalization
Authors: Volek Jaromír Jaroslav , Krausová Alžběta
Published: March 2023

The paper describes how news consumers imagine an ideal state of personalization and which improvements they suggest. Our analysis shows that they primarily perceive the phenomenon of news personalization as a loss of control over search mechanisms and information delivery. They perceive themselves as a weaker part of a relationship characterized by an increasing information asymmetry. We base this finding on our qualitative analysis of respondents’ attitudes towards news personalization. Its goal was threefold: to understand how news personalization affects consumers’ trust in this technology, identify the reasons for potential consumers’ mistrust, and describe what needs and competencies news consumers perceive as necessary for protecting their personal data. Respondents expressed doubts about personalization credibility and described the respective algorithms as a “black box.” The data shows that personalized news consumers are concerned about personal data management. They are also very skeptical about the possibility of exercising their rights with the help of existing regulations. The paper formulates recommendations for the best practices in providing personalized news that considers the shared responsibility of providers and consumers of online content.
Análisis comparado de la representación de personajes LGBT+ en las series españolas de televisión generalista emitidas en prime time y originales de plataformas de streaming
Authors: Marcos Ramos María , Martín García Teresa , González de Garay Beatriz
Published: March 2023

En la presente investigación se desarrolla un análisis comparado de la representación de personajes LGTB+ en las series de producción española emitidas en prime time en televisión generalista y las producidas por las principales plataformas en streaming, partiendo de dos muestras diferentes: una de ellas se compone de 21 capítulos emitidos en el segundo semestre de 2017 y durante todo 2018 en canales generalistas nacionales y la otra contiene 33 capítulos de series españolas producidas originalmente por diferentes plataformas de streaming. Para ello, se ha realizado un análisis de contenido analizando un total de 1.274 personajes (n=514 y n=760, respectivamente). Entre los principales resultados de la investigación se ha podido comprobar que sigue existiendo una infrarrepresentación de personajes LGTB+, comparada con los datos demográficos de población española, aunque su presencia aumenta levemente en el caso de las series producidas para plataformas de streaming. Se ha encontrado, además, un aumento en cuanto al número de personajes LGTB+ con papeles protagonistas con respecto a estudios anteriores. A pesar de la mejora en las cifras de representación, los personajes LGTB+ no están presentes en los contenidos de todas las plataformas. Por otra parte, no se encontró ninguna relación estadísticamente significativa entre la orientación sexual y la hipersexualización de los personajes, ni en otros aspectos como la relación entre orientación sexual y violencia.
Buenas prácticas para desmitificar la neutralidad ambiental de las Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación
Authors: González de Eusebio Javier , García de Madariaga Miranda José María , Tucho Fernández Fernando , Vicente-Mariño Miguel
Published: March 2023

Las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) tienden a ser presentadas como neutrales en términos medioambientales a pesar del importante impacto material que generan. La creciente digitalización de la sociedad y el consiguiente uso intensivo de esta tecnología demandan reflexiones críticas sobre su consumo para promover prácticas mediáticas sostenibles acordes con la crisis climática global. A través de una extensa búsqueda documental desde bases de datos en internet, revisión de la literatura científica, entrevistas exploratorias y muestreo en forma de bola de nieve, en este artículo se identifican y analizan diversas experiencias que, desde el campo de la Educación y la Comunicación, intentan revertir los efectos nocivos e invisibilizados del uso de dispositivos TIC. De este modo, se han seleccionado veinticinco proyectos de carácter internacional para exponer buenas prácticas y propuestas que promuevan un uso sostenible de las TIC. Los resultados evidencian la escasez de proyectos educativos y comunicacionales vinculados a esta temática y pone en relieve la urgencia de intensificar el desarrollo de iniciativas que aborden el impacto medioambiental de las TIC, al considerar la sostenibilidad en el consumo como un componente ineludible de la competencia mediática de la ciudadanía del siglo XXI.
From Twitter to Instagram: evolution in the use of social networks in political communication. The case of the elections of the autonomous community of Madrid 2021.
Authors: Bustos Díaz Javier , Martínez Sánchez María Eugenia , Nicolas-Sans Ruben , Martin-Vicario Lara
Published: March 2023

Political communication in social media is a vital element in any modern electoral campaign. In the early days, the use of any social network or even a website was the norm, however, nowadays, all candidates participating in an election must be present in Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. For this reason, the aim of this research is to analyze the impact of the main political leaders that ran for the presidency of the regional government of Madrid in these three major social media. To do so, a quantitative methodology, based in massive data collection is used, allowing for a precise approach to the impact of every candidate account in the studied social media platforms. As an initial conclusion, it can be highlighted that, even if Twitter is the preferred social media platform by politicians, Instagram is the one favorite by users.
Bridging the Discursive and Material Dimensions of Europeanity and Europeanisation
Authors: Carpentier Nico , Hroch Miloš , Cannizzaro Sara , Miconi Andrea , Doudaki Vaia
Published: March 2023

The article aims to capture the significatory diversity of the concepts of Europeanity and Europeanisation, through the development of a semantic map in order to visualize the different concepts that define Europeanity and Europeanisation, and their interconnections. Embedded in the field of Communication and Media Studies, this semantic map combines 19 different approaches, structured through one main dimension, the discursive versus the material, which allows bridging the major rift in the conceptual reflections about Europeanity and Europeanisation. Moreover, the semantic map uses two support dimensions, with the discursive dimension intersecting with the essentialist versus relationist dimension, and the material dimension intersecting with the socio-spatial versus politico-spatial dimension. In order to construct this semantic map, phases of both general and targeted literature reviews were combined with a participatory theory-building method, which was grounded in collaborative knowledge building and collaborative theory construction approaches.

A programação dirigida a crianças foi uma tradição da rádio praticamente desde o seu início, em vários países, mesmo em Portugal. Esta realidade sofreu, porém, mudanças significativas. Perante um público economicamente menos atraente, a lógica comercial acabou por prevalecer e esta oferta foi desaparecendo, inclusive no serviço público (Meneses, 2010). O ambiente digital trouxe, todavia, novas oportunidades e a emergência de rádios para crianças na internet tornou-se um fenómeno com sinais de expansão (Barbeito Veloso & Perona Páez, 2018). Em Portugal, no setor público, surge, em 2016, a rádio ZigZag, objeto deste artigo. Com base na análise da programação e em entrevistas aos profissionais associados a este projeto, pretende-se conhecer como se produz e mantém uma rádio para crianças e que mundo(s) pode proporcionar a este público. Baseada nos principais pilares do serviço público, a rádio ZigZag aposta na diversidade de programas, tendo sido toda a sua programação construída de raiz pela pequena e multidisciplinar equipa que lhe dá suporte, num processo que teve por base o Contrato de Concessão do Serviço Público de Televisão e Rádio e a escuta do seu público-alvo e daqueles que o rodeiam. Com uma emissão 24 horas, apesar de não ser em direto, e com a aposta também no on demand, a emissora procura conciliar o divertimento e a educação/formação, dando mais mundo às crianças.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the characteristics of the activation of the yellow code in wards and identify the factors associated with adverse events after the Rapid Response Team. Methods: a cross-sectional study with retrospective analysis of medical records of adults admitted to medical or surgical clinic wards of the University Hospital of São Paulo. Results: among the 91 patients, the most frequent signs of triggers (n=107) were peripheral oxygen saturation of less than 90% (40.2%) and hypotension (30.8%). Regarding the associated factors the research identified each minute of attendance of the Rapid Response Team in the wards increased by 1.2% odds of adverse events (twenty-four unplanned admission in the ICU and one cardiac arrest) in the sample (p=0.014). Conclusions: decreased oxygen saturation and hypotension were the main reasons for the triggering, and the length of care was associated with the frequency of adverse events.

Resumo: Introdução: A Aprendizagem Baseada em Equipes (ABE) é um método muito utilizado no ensino da promoção de saúde, pois instiga o exercício de habilidades como a liderança, o trabalho em equipe e a tomada de decisões. Com a pandemia da Covid-19, houve a necessidade de adaptar o ensino médico para o âmbito remoto. Assim, o objetivo deste artigo é descrever a experiência de adaptação de um componente curricular de Saúde Coletiva ao ambiente on-line, mantendo a ABE como método de ensino-aprendizagem da promoção de saúde, mesmo em tempos de pandemia. Relato de experiência: A aplicação do método foi feita por meio de videoconferências e de uma plataforma com recursos para a aplicação dos testes conforme o formato da ABE. Com os encontros, os estudantes desenvolveram competências essenciais à promoção da saúde, como salutogênese, metáforas da enfermidade na experiência do adoecimento, prevenção de agravos e educação em saúde. Discussão: A ABE consegue desenvolver no estudante habilidades como o trabalho em equipe, a liderança e o diálogo. Essas competências são preconizadas pelas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais durante a formação médica, além de serem essenciais na prática da promoção da saúde. Além disso, nota-se que o componente curricular promoveu uma construção salutogênica das capacidades dos alunos, desenvolvendo habilidades a partir das potencialidades dos estudantes, tal como em um grupo operativo. Ademais, a aplicação da ABE permitiu a continuidade do ensino de qualidade da promoção de saúde, mesmo em ambiente remoto, tendo em vista que essa metodologia estimula a aprendizagem ativa e oferece a possibilidade de aplicar os conhecimentos obtidos em situações práticas. As principais limitações da experiência foram as dificuldades de acesso às plataformas de ensino remoto, as restrições à comunicação não verbal e o controle sobre o acesso a materiais de consulta durante a execução de cada etapa. Conclusão: A adaptação da ABE ao ambiente remoto estimulou a prática de habilidades comunicativas e de argumentação que são essenciais à facilitação de grupos operativos na comunidade e permitiu que os estudantes aplicassem os conceitos aprendidos em situações práticas, apesar do ambiente remoto de ensino.
NA TRILHA DE RAYMOND WILLIAMS PARA PENSAR CULTURA E POLÍTICA NO BRASIL
Authors: Ridenti Marcelo
Published: March 2023

RESUMO O artigo busca pensar como as formulações teóricas de Raymond Williams podem ajudar a analisar as relações entre cultura e política na sociedade brasileira. A apropriação de alguns de seus conceitos - em especial os de hegemonia (associado a hegemonia alternativa), estruturas de sentimento e determinação - tem sido fundamental para minhas próprias investigações, que são destacadas no texto, bem como para outros pesquisadores das ciências humanas.

RESUMO O objetivo deste artigo é comentar a conferência “Cinema Brasileiro e Realidade Social”, escrita no início dos anos 1960 por Paulo Emílio Salles Gomes. Mais especificamente, trata-se de identificar as tensões que atravessam a obra do crítico paulista num período marcado pela emergência de uma nova produção cinematográfica e pelas discussões em torno do desenvolvimento econômico do país. De maneira significativa, a conferência se apropria da obra Formação da literatura brasileira, de Antonio Candido de Mello e Souza, de modo a apresentar de uma maneira particular uma “tomada de consciência” acerca do cinema brasileiro, de sua situação e de suas possibilidades.
Literatura, formação e educação na obra de Antonio Candido: a humanização do homem
Authors: MACHADO MÁRCIA
Published: March 2023

RESUMO Como a literatura obteve a primazia na vida cultural e intelectual no país e ocupa lugar destacado na obra de Antonio Candido de Mello e Souza, neste trabalho, a partir de suas reflexões, procura-se apresentar algumas discussões sobre a contribuição da literatura para a formação e humanização do homem. Pois em seu caminho o crítico literário voltou seu olhar também para a educação, aspecto pouco relevado de sua produção se comparado a outros como o de crítico literário. Nesse sentido, não seria exagerado afirmar que Candido fornece importantes contribuições, subsídios e ferramentas teóricas para um repensar do modo que temos concebido o processo de formação e construído historicamente a educação e a universidade no Brasil.

Published: March 2023

Abstract This article aimed to carry out a scoping review of the literature to understand the formal experiences of social participation that have been developed in the context of the Brazilian Primary Health Care (PHC), since the creation of the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) until November 2020. The databases LILACS, PubMed, PsycINFO, and Sociological Abstracts were searched, and 20 articles were included that described the social participation in the context of PHC. The results found were discussed regarding the profile of the participants and the competence to participate, the process of participation and the building of participatory actions, and the centrality of permanent education as a way to strengthen social participation in health. The research revealed distinct experiences of social participation developed in the territories where the PHC operates, highlighting the difficulties faced in the process of implementing the Local Health Councils (LHC). Thus, it is understood that strengthening the PHC, especially the Family Health Strategy (FHS) model, involves, in a dialectical way, the construction and the qualification of participatory spaces, which would result in a central strategy to defend the SUS at this time of resurgence of democratic relations in Brazil.
