“We’re Not Equipped”: The Paradox of Intersectional Failures in the Formation of Men’s Gender Justice Groups
Authors: Peretz Tal
Published: May 2018

Men’s involvement in the antiviolence and women’s rights movements has increased in recent decades, but men’s groups still struggle to recognize difference among men. This study is based on a year-long participant observation and interview study with two gender justice groups directed toward men of marginalized communities. A third group, Men Stopping Violence (MSV), played a paradoxical role that elucidates some dynamics and difficulties of intersectional organizing: MSV’s training and resources were crucial for both groups, but MSV’s failure to organize intersectionally was as important in their formation. From these examples, I theorize three categories of ways that mainstream organizations fall short of intersectional inclusion—organizational elements that are culturally unacceptable to marginalized communities, necessary elements that are absent, and environmental comfort—and make suggestions for intersectional social movement praxis.
The Search for Balance: Prolonged Uncertainty in Parent Blogs of Childhood Cancer
Authors: McGeehin Heilferty Catherine
Published: May 2018

Illness blogs are the online narrative expression of the experience of illness and its treatment. The purpose of the present research was to explore, describe, and analyze blog narratives created by parents during their child’s cancer experience in the hope that knowledge generated would amplify the voices of these vulnerable families. The study aimed to answer this question: What themes are evident in illness blogs created by a parent when a child has cancer? The purposive sample of 14 parent blogs included publicly accessible, English language narratives that contained descriptions of life with a child who had undergone treatment for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL; five blogs analyzed) or neuroblastoma (nine blogs analyzed) in the previous 5 years or who was currently undergoing treatment for these types of cancer. Analysis resulted in discovery of new knowledge of the uncertainty inherent in daily family life during illness and treatment. The parents’ vivid depictions of the quest for balance while living with prolonged uncertainty during the illness experience suggested new ways to understand experiences of parents of children with cancer.
Topic Modeling as a Strategy of Inquiry in Organizational Research: A Tutorial With an Application Example on Organizational Culture
Authors: Schmiedel Theresa , Müller Oliver , vom Brocke Jan
Published: May 2018

Research has emphasized the limitations of qualitative and quantitative approaches to studying organizational phenomena. For example, in-depth interviews are resource-intensive, while questionnaires with closed-ended questions can only measure predefined constructs. With the recent availability of large textual data sets and increased computational power, text mining has become an attractive method that has the potential to mitigate some of these limitations. Thus, we suggest applying topic modeling, a specific text mining technique, as a new and complementary strategy of inquiry to study organizational phenomena. In particular, we outline the potentials of structural topic modeling for organizational research and provide a step-by-step tutorial on how to apply it. Our application example builds on 428,492 reviews of Fortune 500 companies from the online platform Glassdoor, on which employees can evaluate organizations. We demonstrate how structural topic models allow to inductively identify topics that matter to employees and quantify their relationship with employees’ perception of organizational culture. We discuss the advantages and limitations of topic modeling as a research method and outline how future research can apply the technique to study organizational phenomena.
Regimes of Visibility: Hanging Out in Brussels’ Public Spaces
Authors: De Backer Mattias
Published: May 2018

Visibility is an important characteristic of public space. According to Brighenti, control and recognition can be understood as two opposing outcomes of visibility. These two modes are studied empirically through the use of data from a research project with young people in Brussels. This article zooms in on young people’s appropriation of a space for themselves and their negotiation of control and investigates what role (in)visibility plays in the micropolitics of these practices. It concludes that these regimes of visibility can be easily found in young people’s behavior in public space. However, they are not mutually exclusive: They easily transform into the other or present themselves simultaneously.
Clinical Comparison of Scapular, Fibular, and Iliac Crest Osseal Free Flaps in Maxillofacial Reconstructions
Authors: Wilkman T. , Husso A. , Lassus P.
Published: May 2018

Background and Aims:

This study compared the three most used composite flaps in maxillofacial reconstructions in our institute.

Patients and Methods:

Between 2000 and 2012, a total of 163 patients with mandibular, maxillary, and orbital defects received either scapular, fibular, or iliac crest osseal reconstructions in Helsinki University Hospital, Departments of Plastic Surgery and Maxillofacial Surgery. Data regarding the patient demographics, complications, and outcomes were analyzed.

Results:

There were 92 deep circumflex iliac artery flaps (56%), followed by 42 scapular (26%) and 29 fibular flaps (18%). The rate of flap loss was the highest in the deep circumflex iliac artery group (p = 0.001). Reconstructions using fibula were fastest (p = 0.001) and had lowest perioperative blood loss (p = 0.013). There were no significant differences in the number of early or late complications between the flaps, but donor site complications were more severe in deep circumflex iliac artery. Osteotomies as well as dental implants were safely performed in all flaps with equal results.

Conclusion:

All three flaps of this study can be performed with awareness of the deep circumflex iliac artery flap being the least reliable alternative. The knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of several osseal-free flap alternatives is beneficial in selecting the best suitable method for each individual patient requiring maxillofacial osseal reconstruction.
Materializing digital collecting: An extended view of digital materiality
Authors: Mardon Rebecca , Belk Russell
Published: May 2018

If digital objects are abundant and ubiquitous, why should consumers pay for, much less collect them? The qualities of digital code present numerous challenges for collecting, yet digital collecting can and does occur. We explore the role of companies in constructing digital consumption objects that encourage and support collecting behaviours, identifying material configuration techniques that materialize these objects as elusive and authentic. Such techniques, we argue, may facilitate those pleasures of collecting otherwise absent in the digital realm. We extend theories of collecting by highlighting the role of objects and the companies that construct them in materializing digital collecting. More broadly, we extend theories of digital materiality by highlighting processes of digital material configuration that occur in the pre-objectification phase of materialization, acknowledging the role of marketing and design in shaping the qualities exhibited by digital consumption objects and, consequently, related consumption behaviours and experiences.
On Rationality
Authors: Craske James , Loschmann Janis
Published: May 2018

Rationality is an enduring topic of interest across the disciplines and has become even more so, given the current crises that are unfolding in our society. The four books reviewed here, which are written by academics working in economics, political science, political theory and philosophy, provide an interdisciplinary engagement with the idea of rationality and the way it has shaped the institutional frameworks and global political economy of our time. Rational choice theory has certainly proved to be a useful analytic tool in certain contexts, and instrumental reason has been a key tenet of human progress in several periods of history, including the industrial revolution and the modernity that emerged in the nineteenth century. Given the complexity of our current challenges, however, is it time to ask whether this paradigm might be better complemented by more holistic and heterodox approaches?

Authors: Doyle Reina , Albright Karen , Hurley Laura P. , Chávez Catia , Stowell Melanie , Dircksen Suzanne , Havranek Edward P. , Anderson Mark
Published: May 2018

Introduction. This study investigated participants’ acceptance of a short messaging service (SMS) intervention designed to support asthma management, including suggestions regarding program delivery and message content. Methods. Individual and group interviews were conducted with patients from a safety-net health care system in Denver, Colorado. Eligible participants were English or Spanish speakers between the ages of 13 and 40 years, with diagnosed persistent asthma. All individual and group interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed, translated from Spanish to English (where applicable), and analyzed for thematic content by experienced analysts using established qualitative content techniques. The qualitative software package ATLAS.ti was used for data analysis and management. Results. This study included a total of 43 participants. In general, participants were receptive toward the SMS program and supported the use of tailored and interactive messages. Adolescents supported the idea of enhancing care by sending messages to a support person, such as a parent or guardian. However, adults were less receptive toward this idea. Participants also preferred directive educational messages and cues to action, while general messages reminding them of their asthma diagnosis were viewed less favorably. Implications. The results from this study will inform a randomized control trial evaluating the efficacy of the SMS intervention.
Mass–Elite Divides in Aversion to Social Change and Support for Donald Trump
Authors: Grossmann Matt , Thaler Daniel
Published: May 2018

Donald Trump won the American presidency in 2016 by overperforming expectations in upper Midwest states, surprising even Republican political elites. We argue that attitudes toward social change were an underappreciated dividing line between supporters of Trump and Hillary Clinton as well as between Republicans at the mass and elite levels. We introduce a concept and measure of aversion to (or acceptance of) social diversification and value change, assess the prevalence of these attitudes in the mass public and among political elites, and demonstrate its effects on support for Trump. Our research uses paired surveys of Michigan’s adult population and community of political elites in the Fall of 2016. Aversion to social change is strongly predictive of support for Trump at the mass level, even among racial minorities. But attitudes are far more accepting of social change among elites than the public and aversion to social change is not a factor explaining elite Trump support. If elites were as averse to social change as the electorate—and if that attitude mattered to their vote choice—they might have been as supportive of Trump. Views of social change were not as strongly related to congressional voting choices.
How Much Is Enough? Evaluating Intervention Implementation Efficiently
Authors: Fritz Ronda , Harn Beth , Biancarosa Gina , Lucero Audrey , Flannery K. Brigid
Published: May 2018

This study investigated the use of brief observations to measure implementation of small group interventions using the Quality of Intervention Delivery and Receipt (QIDR) tool. Videos of 10-min segments representing the beginning, middle, and end of each 30-min intervention lesson were coded for implementation. Results indicated that (a) reliability can be achieved when observing a portion of a lesson; (b) QIDR scores obtained from 10-min segments are significantly correlated with the 30-min observations; and (c) post hoc analysis indicate the tool may be sensitive to changes in implementation quality at the intervention group level across time. Implications for research and practice are discussed, including the utility of shorter observations to increase the monitoring of intervention implementation to potentially improve outcomes.
How Can Men Convicted of Violence Against Women Feel Moral While Holding Sexist and Violent Attitudes? A Homeostatic Moral Model Based on Self-Deception
Authors: Vecina María L.
Published: May 2018

A moral model is proposed to understand how men convicted of violence against the partner can feel moral in spite of their past violent behavior and their current violent and sexist attitudes. Because of its appeal to the role of self-deception and its relationship to psychological well-being, it was hypothesized that a rigid conception about what is right and wrong (moral absolutism) is associated with ambivalent outcomes that keep their psychological system in homeostasis. The relationships were specified a priori and tested using path analysis. Several fit indices supported the adequacy of the model and showed that moral absolutism was indirectly related to both psychological well-being and a good moral self-conceptualization through self-deception. At the same time, moral absolutism was related to sexist and violent attitudes and a poor moral self-conceptualization. Future interventions could include strategies to reduce the resistances to change based on the reduction of moral absolutism and self-deception.
Research on cavitation acoustic characteristics of centrifugal pump based on fluid-acoustic field coupling method
Authors: Liang Dong , Yuqi Zhao , Cui Dai , Yong Wang
Published: May 2018

In order to study the change rules of interior acoustic field with the development of cavitation, this article presented a method that through comparing the experiment results with numerical simulation results in cavitation bubbles’ distribution images under different cavitation coefficients to optimize the accuracy of acoustic field simulation using computational fluid dynamics combined with the Lighthill acoustic analogy. First, a closed visual testing system was established based on pump product test system and high-speed photography. Second, the cavitation performance under the rated operating condition was calculated using different cavitation models, in order to obtain both pump cavitation performance curve and distribution of cavitation bubbles. Next, based on the external characteristics experiment and high-speed photography experiment, the appropriate cavitation model for unsteady numerical calculation was selected. On the basis of vapor volume fraction distribution and the cavitation performance curve, four different typical points representing different cavitation coefficients were selected for further analyses. The direct boundary element method was used to calculate the variation characteristics of cavitation-induced noise at different cavitation coefficients. Finally, the peak-to-peak value of pressure fluctuation coefficient is defined as Д, and the pressure pulsating frequency domain signals were analyzed to further study the influence of pressure pulsation on acoustic field. The results show that the effect of pressure pulsation on noise is mainly focused on the discrete eigenvalues, and as for the broadband noise, the influence is not obvious. With the development of cavitation, axial passing frequency, 10- to 100-Hz frequency band, and 1000- to 3000-Hz frequency band show an increasing trend, while blade passing frequency and its harmonic frequencies show a decreasing trend. At the onset of cavitation, 1000- to 3000-Hz frequency band has the highest sensitivity for cavitation detection.
Plane-constraint-based calibration method for a galvanometric laser scanner
Authors: Mao Yang , Zeng Liangcai , Jiang Jun , Yu Chengyi
Published: May 2018

Laser stripe vision sensors have limited application when the whole surface of an object has to be measured; therefore, a galvanometric laser scanner is presented using a one-mirror galvanometer element as its mechanical device to drive the light stripe to sweep along the object. A flexible plane-constraint together with a look-up table calibration algorithm by viewing a planar calibration target from unknown orientations is presented to calibrate the proposed galvanometric laser scanner. The plane-constraint method generates a larger number of control points by imposing a plane constraint on the control points. Compared with the invariance of double cross-ratio, the plane-constraint-based calibration method generates the same number of control points without error propagation. Contrast experiments are conducted to verify the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed calibration method.

The findings can help oncology nurses provide more empathetic care to patients and their family members.
Optimizing the integrated production and maintenance planning using genetic algorithm
Authors: Ettaye Ghita , El Barkany Abdellah , Jabri Abdelouahhab , El Khalfi Ahmed
Published: May 2018

In spite of the interdependence between them, production and maintenance planning decisions are generally studied and used independently in the majority of the manufacturing systems. Our contribution is summarized to obtain a maintenance policy including preventive replacement in each maintenance cycle and minimal repair in case of unplanned failure, and on the other side, for a set of products and in each period, specify the quantity to be produced and when is the production set up, also the stock and the breaking on demand level, so that to minimize the total cost. The purpose of the research was aimed at achieving the optimization of an integrated planning of preventive maintenance and production in a multi-period, multiproduct, and single-line production system. To achieve this purpose, our model is configured as a mixed integer linear programming and solved by IBM ILOG CPLEX OPL studio 12.6 (USA), and we propose our own genetic algorithms (GAs) using Python solver with respect to resolution time and the quality of results. Then, to find the performance of the model and the usefulness of the proposed resolution method, a numerical example is considered to produce two products for a finite horizon with 11 periods. The results of the analysis show that this GA provides a new tool for the integrated planning in the industrial sector. These results reflect the experiences of single-line system and further studies are needed for generalizability in the multiline cases, also we will compare the proposed GA with other evolutionary algorithms.
Perineal pain: Think beyond gynaecological reasons
Authors: Gupta Neha , Nigam Vishal
Published: May 2018

Introduction:

Perineal pain is multifactorial in nature. Gynaecological consultation is the first point of contact in females with perineal pain for diagnosis and treatment.

Case description:

Three females above 60 years presented with non-radiating perineal pain and bladder disturbance. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed severe L5 S1 dural compression, which was released by posterior laminectomy. Patients felt relief in perineal pain, though bladder symptoms persisted for several months.

Conclusion:

Sacral roots compression leading to pain along pudendal nerve distribution may present with cauda equina symptoms with pain radiating to legs. Awareness of this condition can prevent the delay and lead to better prognosis after the surgery.

Published: May 2018

Schools and programs of public health must equip public health professionals to conduct community health assessments that can be subsequently used by community partners to inform programs, policies, and interventions. Measuring health outcomes, identifying behavioral risk and protective factors, and mapping community assets for social and behavioral science interventions is a key competency for departments of social and behavioral sciences. Community-engaged learning is one approach to build student competency while developing mutually beneficial relationships between academic settings and community organizations. This mixed-methods evaluation explores the value of community-engaged learning to community partners who collaborate with courses on community assessment in public health. Data were collected through interviews with community partners and a quantitative survey. Data analysis involved thematic analysis and descriptive statistics. Results suggest that community partners value community-engaged learning in several ways: (a) students provided quality data and reports that informed program development and revision, (b) students offered increased human capacity and the skills needed to conduct community assessments, and (c) organizations benefitted from the prestige of sustained relationships with an academic partner. Challenges of community-engaged learning included difficult timelines and demands from students based on the semester schedule. Organizations recommended additional interaction with faculty members to clarify project goals and student responsibilities. Lessons from the evaluation are beneficial to other colleges and universities and community organizations invested in successful and valuable academic–community relationships.
The “false-positive” conundrum in the NTP 2-year rodent cancer study database
Authors: Smith Carr J. , Perfetti Thomas A.
Published: May 2018

In 1990, Ames and Gold described a conundrum of “too many carcinogens” among chemicals tested in rodent bioassays. Their proposed nongenotoxic carcinogenic mechanism was amplification of the background mutation rate via cytotoxicity induced by high doses of the test chemicals, thereby leading to increases in reparative cellular proliferation rates. Recently, we have statistically and mechanistically analyzed the entire 594-study (470 final reports) NTP 2-year rodent cancer database to better understand the conundrum posed by Ames and Gold. Our analysis provides several lines of evidence that support the contention of Ames and Gold. First, across different routes of administration, relatively phylogenetically similar rats and mice are nonetheless discordant for the development of tumors at similar organ sites. Tumor site concordance across sex within species is higher than tumor site concordance across species. Second, many chemicals negative in the Ames test nonetheless induce tumors in either rats or mice. Third, 11 out of 58 chemicals tested by the inhalation route induce lung tumors in mice and not rats, are negative in the Ames test, and exhibit hyperplasia. In 2017, Tomasetti et al. provided evidence for the clinical relevance in humans of the Ames and Gold mechanism regarding amplification of the background mutation rate by demonstrating that the majority of human tumors result from accumulated mutations due to DNA replication errors.
Research-to-Resource: Effective Incorporation of World Music Into the Music Classroom
Authors: Henninger Jacqueline
Published: May 2018

As the demographics of our nation continue to evolve, music educators have a responsibility to embrace the opportunities they have to increase their students’ levels of awareness and acceptance of others who may represent different ethnic groups. The following research-to-resource article will provide background information and recommendations for instructional approaches one may use when sharing world music with students in the music classroom. Researchers have shown that providing students with opportunities to learn about and perform music representative of other cultures may positively affect their music preferences, music familiarities, and levels of respect for, acceptance of, and appreciation for others. To do this most effectively, teachers should address music concepts and sociocultural contexts, involve cultural insiders, be cognizant of elements of authenticity, and enable students to be engaged in active music-making opportunities.

The use of sub-epidermal moisture measurement in predicting blanching erythema in jaundice patients
Authors: Park Seungmi , Kim Chul-Gyu , Ko Ji Woon
Published: May 2018

Objective:

To investigate the relationship between sub-epidermal moisture (SEM) and visual skin assessment (VSA) in pressure ulcers (PU) patients with jaundice in Korea.

Method:

This is a longitudinal observational study. Data was collected by a wound care nurse, at a tertiary hospital, for six weeks beginning in June 2013. Once a week for the six weeks, the nurse assessed VSA and measured SEM, for each subject, on seven anatomical sites (both buttocks, both ischial tuberosities, both trochanters, and the sacral coccyx), using a NOVA Petite dermal phase meter for SEM. The measurements ranged from 0 to 999, and higher SEM indicates higher water content in the tissue.

Results:

There were 22 adults participated in the study. The SEMs in category I PU were significantly higher than those in patients who had no injury, or blanching erythema. The SEM difference between category I PU and either blanching erythema or no injury was more than 60 points at the sacral coccyx, and the difference between blanching erythema and no PU was more than 100 points at the trochanters. After the covariates were adjusted for, the odds ratios (ORs) for blanching erythema were statistically significant. The ORs for blanching erythema versus normal skin was 1.016 higher than the concurrent SEMs. Also, The ORs of 1-point concurrent SEMs for blanching erythema versus normal skin at Sacral coccyx, right and left ischial tuberosity and left trochanter were 1.015, 1.128, 1.137 and 1.051 respectively (p<0.05).

Conclusion:

SEM was associated with concurrent early skin damage, specifically blanching erythema with jaundice. Therefore, SEM may be used to predict early skin damage in patients with jaundice in clinical nursing for effective PU prevention and management.

Authors: Torrego-González Alba , Gutiérrez-Martín Alfonso
Published: May 2018

En este trabajo se parte de un caso en el que los adolescentes hablan sobre lectura en una red social. Se ha realizado un análisis de 2700 mensajes escritos en Twitter con motivo de la emisión de la película El club de los incomprendidos, basada en la novela juvenil Buenos días, princesa, de la que es autor Blue Jeans, escritor superventas entre lectores adolescentes. A partir del análisis del discurso se estudia el comportamiento de una comunidad de fans de una obra literaria en un entorno digital concreto y se clasifican las interacciones entre los seguidores que emplean un hashtag propuesto por el propio escritor, quien también participa publicando mensajes. Se documenta, asimismo, la creación de un universo transmedia que trasciende las fronteras de la obra, a través del cual los jóvenes obtienen información sobre el producto cultural por medios tan diversos como el propio libro, la película y el discurso de otras personas, incluso el del escritor. Nuestro estudio ejemplifica tanto la capacidad de las redes sociales para extender la experiencia lectora más allá del final de la lectura, como los cambios experimentados por el consumo literario: de actividad lectora individual a experiencia compartida en entornos transmedia.
Advances in Hierarchical Model Reduction and combination with other computational reduction methods
Authors: Meglioli Giulia , Zancanaro Matteo , Ballarin Francesco , Perotto Simona , Rozza Gianluigi
Published: May 2018

In this work we present address the combination of the Hierarchical Model (Hi-Mod) reduction approach with projection-based reduced order methods, exploiting either on Greedy Reduced Basis (RB) or Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD), in a parametrized setting. The Hi-Mod approach, introduced in, is suited to reduce problems in pipe-like domains featuring a dominant axial dynamics, such as those arising for instance in haemodynamics. The Hi-Mod approach aims at reducing the computational cost by properly combining a finite element discretization of the dominant dynamics with a modal expansion in the transverse direction. In a parametrized context, the Hi-Mod approach has been employed as the high-fidelity method during the offline stage of model order reduction techniques based on RB or POD. The resulting combined reduction methods, which have been named Hi-RB and Hi-POD, respectively, will be presented with applications in diffusion-advection problems, fluid dynamics and optimal control problems, focusing on the approximation stability of the proposed methods and their computational performance.
A Reduced Order Kalman Filter for Computational Fluid-Dynamics Applications
Authors: Introini Carolina , Lorenzi Stefano , Cammi Antonio , Baroli Davide
Published: May 2018

In the last decade, the importance of numerical simulations for the analysis of complex engineering systems, such as thermo-fluid dynamics in nuclear reactors, has grown exponentially. In spite of the large experimental databases available for validation of mathematical models, in order to identify the most suitable one for the system under investigation, the inverse integration of such data into the CFD model is nowadays an ongoing challenge. In addition, such integration could tackle the problem of propagation of epistemic uncertainties, both in the numerical model and in the experimental data. In this framework, the data-assimilation method allows for the dynamic incorporation of observations within the computational model. Perhaps the most famous among these methods, due to its simple implementation and yet robust nature, is the Kalman filter. Although this approach has found success in fields such as weather forecast and geoscience, its application in Computational Fluid-Dynamics (CFD) is still in its first stages. In this setting, a new algorithm based on the integration between the segregated approach, which is the most common method adopted by CFD applications for the solution of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, and a Kalman filter modified for fluid-dynamics problems, while preserving mass conservation of the solution, has already been developed and tested in a previous work. Whereas such method is able to robustly integrate experimental data within the numerical model, its computational cost increases with model complexity. In particular, in high-fidelity realistic scenarios the error covariance matrix for the model, which represents the uncertainties associated with it, becomes dense, thus affecting the efficiency and computational cost of the method. For this reason, due to the promised reduction of computational requirements recently investigated, which combines model reduction and data-assimilation, in this work a combination of reduced order model and mass-conservative Kalman filter within a segregated approach for CFD analysis is proposed. The novelty lies in the peculiar formulation of the Kalman filter and how to construct a low-dimensional manifold to approximate, with sufficient accuracy, the high fidelity model. With respect to literature, in which the full-order Kalman filter is applied to a reduced model, the reduction is performed directly on the integrated model in order to obtain a reduced-order Kalman filter already optimised for fluid-dynamics applications. In order to verify the capabilities of this approach, this reduced-order algorithm has been tested against the lid-driven cavity test case.

O presente artigo, de natureza bibliográfica, busca compreender as possíveis interferências da prática pedagógica do professor de Educação Infantil, pautadas na perspectiva histórico-cultural de Lev Semenovitch Vigotski. Considerando a grande representatividade que a escrita alfabética tem em nossa sociedade grafocêntrica, procura-se pensar meios em que o professor pode atuar na zona de desenvolvimento proximal de seus alunos. Com isso, almeja-se maturar o conhecimento prévio que os alunos de Educação Infantil têm sobre o livro e a leitura por meio da leitura fruição, aqui entendida com uma prática de leitura desprovida de obtenção de resultados, ou seja, o ler por gosto de ler, para a partir dessa prática cotidiana, os alunos de Educação Infantil se sentirem próximos e interessados pela leitura e procurem a mesma por seus próprios gostos.
Representações de homem e natureza em filmes de animação: problematizações de uma pedagogia cultural

Published: May 2018

O artigo analisa as representações de homem e de natureza que circulam nos filmes de animação da série Madagascar produzidos nos anos de 2005, 2008 e 2012. Tem como objetivo discutir o modo como são produzidas certas verdades a respeito da relação entre homem e natureza e a forma como estas instituem determinados modos de ser sujeito na contemporaneidade. Assumimos como referencial teórico o campo dos Estudos Culturais na vertente pós-estruturalista, operando modestamente com o conceito de problematização desenvolvido pelo filósofo Michel Foucault, traçando uma interlocução com autores do campo da Educação Ambiental. As análises do corpus empírico indicam a mídia cinematográfica como produtivo artefato da cultura que, numa sociedade atravessada por certa vontade de pedagogia, reforça o papel central ocupado pelo homem na relação que estabelece com a natureza, reatualizando o ideal moderno antropocêntrico.
As ambiguidades nos atos performativos dos rapazes negros estudantes: possibilidades para uma educação libertadora

Published: May 2018

O artigo escrito por três mulheres pesquisadoras, educadoras e negras buscou compreender como os jovens negros reinterpretam as brincadeiras infantis na construção de suas masculinidades, mediante a

reconstrução das narrativas destes rapazes, no âmbito de um grupo focal desenvolvido no contexto escolar soteropolitano. Na analise destas narrativas foi possível identificar que a brincadeira de luta ou a briga é mais praticada por eles, embora tivessem elencado o pega-pega, futebol, rasteira, handebol, esconde-esconde, os desenhos animados animes, papai e mamãe. Na interpretação sobre a luta reportou-se a outras dimensões que se coloca na ambiguidade entre o natural e cultural (aprendizado), daí a possibilidade de apostar nas zonas dos interstícios, enfrentando a moralidade da maioria, tendo como conteúdo a ser trabalhado as diversidades das próprias vivências. Embora, o foco de análise centra-se nas narrativas destas vivências, foi considerado as

lógicas de opressão da desigualdade de classe, do racismo, do sexismo e da heteronormatividade estruturadas e estruturantes destas vivências.
O professor “subversivo” e seu controle: poder docente no cinema sob a óptica dos Estudos Culturais
Authors: Katz Elvis Patrik , Santos Keli Avila dos , Mutz Andresa Silva da Costa
Published: May 2018

O presente artigo analisa a representação docente nos seguintes filmes: A Onda e Sociedade dos Poetas Mortos. Assim, observamos a figura do professor e a forma como ele atua em sala de aula como subversivas, seja quando encoraja a transgressão ou, ainda, quando suas ações demandam certo disciplinamento da instituição escolar. Justifica-se tal temática devido aos debates que ocorrem na contemporaneidade com relação ao papel do professor e os intentos que buscam controlar a prática docente. Essa tarefa situa-se a partir dos Estudos Culturais e dos estudos foucaultianos das relações de poder.
“Se inscreva no canal para mais vídeos como esse”: currículo cultural e subjetivações de gênero no YouTube
Authors: Dos Reis Neilton , Fonseca Lana Claudia de Souza
Published: May 2018

O artigo se propõe lançar olhar sobre os currículos que são produzidos a partir de artefatos culturais. Utilizamos como recorte um material audiovisual produzido por jovens de identidade sexuais e de gênero marginalizadas que dizem dessas identidades e marginalizações. Nesse sentido, analisamos os discursos sobre transexualidade que se constroem em um canal do site YouTube, o Canal das Bee. As análises utilizam-se dos estudos culturais e pós-estruturalistas do campo do currículo, que nos possibilitam lidar com os discursos, os artefatos culturais, a educação, os gêneros e as sexualidades como categorias históricas e sociais, constituídas nos jogos de poder e de linguagem. Pensamos o Canal enquanto um currículo que influencia as juventudes e discutimos as verdades construídas acerca da transexualidade e suas (des)subjetivações.
Diversidade cultural e intolerância religiosa: uma afronta aos direitos humanos, uma questão de Educação
Authors: De Ataíde Marlene Almeida
Published: May 2018

O presente artigo discute sobre a diversidade cultural e a intolerância religiosa produzida na nossa sociedade, não obstante o que prescreve o Artigo XVIII da Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos. As questões relativas à diversidade devem ser (re) conhecidas, compreendidas e abordadas no ambiente escolar à luz dos direitos humanos. Nesta perspectiva a educação deveria ser a mola propulsora para a mudança de mentalidades que ainda discrimina o outro nas relações sociais dentre estas a religiosa. Dentro do universo cultural religioso observa-se que a religiosidade de cada um, bem como a aceitação da mesma por parte dos demais envolve os interesses políticos de demarcação de território permeados pela dominação ideológica de cada grupo social. Isso interfere muitas vezes não só na identidade cultural, relacionadas às raízes históricas de cada povo como também na subjetividade do sujeito que é vítima da pressão psicológi
The Efficacy of Behavior Management for Depression in Dementia Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Authors: Thu Win K. , Lwin Nay , Yasky Jaime , Bambling Matthew , Aye San K.K.
Published: May 2018

Overview:
Dementia is a serious brain disease that impacts negatively in several areas of patient’s functioning. Depression has a strong link with dementia and is part of the behavior and psychological symptoms (BPSD). Behavior management for depression is recommended as a first-line psychological treatment for dementia patients. However, there are no systematic reviews examining the efficacy of behavior management for depression in dementia.

Objective:
To examine the efficacy of behavior management (BM) for depression in dementia patients.

Methods:
Five electronic databases were searched (1999 to 2015) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which were selected according to eligibility criteria. Data was pooled, quality assessment was completed, and a meta-analysis was performed.

Results:
This review included ten randomized controlled trials. In the four studies where behavior management was a focused intervention, no significant treatment effect was observed (standardized mean difference SMD -0.20; 95 % CI -0.96 to 0.56). In the remaining six studies in which behavior treatment was involved as a component, the analysis showed a trend favored the intervention, but it was not significant (SMD -0.12; 95 % CI -0.25 to 0.01).

Conclusion:
There is no evidence for behavior management alleviating depression in dementia patients. Future research examining the efficacy of specific behavior management techniques for milder forms of dementia and multimodal interventions are recommended.
EVALUACIÓN DEL ESTADO NUTRICIONAL Y METABOLISMO HEPÁTICO EN RATAS MACHO EXPUESTAS CRÓNICAMENTE A LA INGESTA DE GLUTAMATO MONOSÓDICO

Published: May 2018

La ingesta de GMS (glutamato monosódico) se ha relacionado con múltiples acciones post-ingesta por eso investigamos los efectos de la ingesta crónica. Trabajamos en ratas Wistar machos divididas en dos grupos: control y GMS. El consumo de GMS aumentó el peso corporal, el IMC, la circunferencia abdominal y la grasa retroperitoneal. Las ratas presentaron alteraciones en la tolerancia a la glucosa, hiperinsulinemia con resistencia a la insulina y dislipidemia. Los niveles de triglicéridos y de glucógeno hepáticos fueron significativamente mayores. GMS no afectó significativamente la peroxidación lipídica hepática. El aumento de las actividades de GPx y GR fue acompañado con una disminución en la de SOD, sin cambios en la de CAT. La valoración histológica mostró que el GMS induce diferentes grados de degeneración, inflamación e hialinización en hepatocitos, con pocos focos de necrosis. La ingesta de GMS ejerció efectos sobre el metabolismo de los carbohidratos y  lípidos, sin cambios importantes en el estado oxidativo pero con inducción de alteraciones de la histología hepática.
