Published: December 2020

Introduction. The problem of extended urethral strictures treatment remains relevant due to the complexity of the supervision of such patients and the high frequency of disease recurrence after surgical treatment.Purpose of the study. Evaluation of the effectiveness of one-stage buccal urethroplasty according to the Kulkarni technique using two flaps for extended anterior urethral strictures.Materials and methods. The study included 18 men with an extended anterior urethral stricture, who underwent buccal urethroplasty by perineal access using the Kulkarni dorsolateral onlay technique using two flaps from January 2018 to March 2020, and a postoperative follow-up period of at least 6 months. The study was prospective. Control examination was carried out 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after surgery. The criteria for the recurrence of urethral stricture were the presence of complaints of deterioration in the quality of urination in combination with a decrease in the maximum urinary flow rate of less than 12 ml/sec and the presence of residual urine in an amount of more than 100 ml, as well as the need to perform any surgical intervention to restore the normal passage of urine.Results. The age of the patients ranged from 32 to 72 years (median 58 years). The length of the stricture ranged from 6 to 11 cm (median, 8 cm). The stricture was localized in the penile segment in 11 (61.1%) cases and the penile and bulbar urethra in 7 (38.9%) cases simultaneously. An iatrogenic cause of urethral stricture occurred in 11 (61.1) patients, idiopathic in 5 (27.8%) patients and inflammatory in 2 (11.1%) patients. The stricture was primary in 12 (66.7%) cases and recurrent in 6 (33.3%). Spontaneous urination was preserved in 6 (33.3%) patients, cystostomy existed in 12 (66.7%) patients. The follow-up period after surgery ranged from 3 to 24 months (median - 12 months). Recurrence of urethral stricture was noted in 3 (16.7%) cases. The use of this technique for recurrent forms of the urethral stricture (recurrence after the previous urethroplasty) is the most significant risk factor for treatment failure. 1 (5.6%) case of erectile dysfunction and stress urinary incontinence has taken place of the late postoperative complications.Conclusions. The Kulkarni operation using two buccal flaps for extended strictures of the anterior urethra allows to achieve high rates of efficacy and safety of a treatment, however, the risk of failure increases significantly when used for the treatment of recurrent types of strictures.
Andrology — what is it today?
Authors: Kogan M. I.
Published: December 2020

The history of its appearance, development, formation is one of the «detectives» of medicine in the world and in Russia for the last 50 years. Everything developed in a very confusing, ambiguous, extremely controversial way. Andrology, having appeared, began to attract various specialists (urologists, endocrinologists, reproductologists, geneticists, gynecologists) and, of course, «medical politicians» and even pseudo-specialists — scammers. «Dark» spots in space and medicine have always fascinated the minds of the uninitiated. So, it was before our era, and so in modern times. I do not think that in this article I can afford to give a comprehensive interpretation of the whole complex of andrology problems, but I will try to draw the attention of the professional urological community of Russia to the key issues of the current moment.

Published: December 2020

Introduction. Sling urethropexy is considered the «gold standard» surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women. However, the long-term results of such operations have not yet been fully studied.Purpose of the study. To evaluate the results of using various options for sling operations at different periods of postoperative follow-up.Materials and methods. In 698 women aged 42 - 68 years (median — 54 years) suffering stress incontinence were used 4 variants of sling operations according to the database of the S.P. Botkin City Clinical Hospital: TVT retropubic technique; transobturator technique TVT-O («inside-out»); transobturator technique TOT («outside-in»); mini sling system. The period of postoperative follow-up was 6 - 139 months (median 79 months). Evaluation of treatment results was carried out according to the following periods of postoperative follow-up: short-term (up to 1 year inclusive); mediumterm (a period from 1 to 5 years inclusive); long-term (over 5 years). The success of the treatment was determined by the criterion of the absence of urine involuntary loss during the cough test and the 1-hour pad test.Results. Treatment success in the entire sample of patients was 96.1% (671 / 698) for the short-term criterion, 93.1% (591 / 635) for the medium-term criterion and 86.2% for the long-term criterion (467 / 642). The effectiveness of short-term treatment after TVT was 97%, TVT-O — 95.8%, TOT — 96.2%, mini-sling system — 95.5%, in medium-term — 92.2%, 93.1%, 90.9% and 92.3%, respectively, for long-term — 87.1%, 86.2%, 85.2% and 85%, respectively. There were no significant differences between the indicated variants of sling operations in terms of treatment efficacy for all observation periods (p > 0.05). Intra and early postoperative complications were noted in 51 (7.3%) cases, late — in 79 (11.3%). There were no significant differences in the incidence of both categories of complications between the surgical techniques used (p > 0.05). Only surgical experience significantly affects the risk of recurrent urinary incontinence after surgery, early and late postoperative complications.Conclusions. The success of surgical treatment for stress urinary incontinence in women does not significantly depend on the type of sling surgery but depends mainly on the surgical experience. Therefore, it is advisable to use sling operations in hospitals with extensive experience in this area.
Neurocognitive Assessment Tools for Military Personnel With Mild Traumatic Brain Injury: Scoping Literature Review (Preprint)
Authors: Jones Chelsea , Harasym Jessica , Miguel-Cruz Antonio , Chisholm Shannon , Smith-MacDonald Lorraine , Brémault-Phillips Suzette
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) occurs at a higher frequency among military personnel than among civilians. A common symptom of mTBIs is cognitive dysfunction. Health care professionals use neuropsychological assessments as part of a multidisciplinary and best practice approach for mTBI management. Such assessments support clinical diagnosis, symptom management, rehabilitation, and return-to-duty planning. Military health care organizations currently use computerized neurocognitive assessment tools (NCATs). NCATs and more traditional neuropsychological assessments present unique challenges in both clinical and military settings. Many research gaps remain regarding psychometric properties, usability, acceptance, feasibility, effectiveness, sensitivity, and utility of both types of assessments in military environments.

OBJECTIVE

The aims of this study were to explore evidence regarding the use of NCATs among military personnel who have sustained mTBIs; evaluate the psychometric properties of the most commonly tested NCATs for this population; and synthesize the data to explore the range and extent of NCATs among this population, clinical recommendations for use, and knowledge gaps requiring future research.

METHODS

Studies were identified using MEDLINE, Embase, American Psychological Association PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, Psych Article, Scopus, and Military & Government Collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, thematic analysis, and the Randolph Criteria. Narrative synthesis and the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses extension for Scoping Reviews) guided the reporting of findings. The psychometric properties of NCATs were evaluated with specific criteria and summarized.

RESULTS

Of the 104 papers, 33 met the inclusion criteria for this scoping review. Thematic analysis and NCAT psychometrics were reported and summarized.

CONCLUSIONS

When considering the psychometric properties of the most commonly used NCATs in military populations, these assessments have yet to demonstrate adequate validity, reliability, sensitivity, and clinical utility among military personnel with mTBIs. Additional research is needed to further validate NCATs within military populations, especially for those living outside of the United States and individuals experiencing other conditions known to adversely affect cognitive processing. Knowledge gaps remain, warranting further study of psychometric properties and the utility of baseline and normative testing for NCATs.
Intention to Use Behavioral Health Data From a Health Information Exchange: Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Authors: Cochran Randyl A , Feldman Sue S , Ivankova Nataliya V , Hall Allyson G , Opoku-Agyeman William
Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND

Patients with co-occurring behavioral health and chronic medical conditions frequently overuse inpatient hospital services. This pattern of overuse contributes to inefficient health care spending. These patients require coordinated care to achieve optimal health outcomes. However, the poor exchange of health-related information between various clinicians renders the delivery of coordinated care challenging. Health information exchanges (HIEs) facilitate health-related information sharing and have been shown to be effective in chronic disease management; however, their effectiveness in the delivery of integrated care is less clear. It is prudent to consider new approaches to sharing both general medical and behavioral health information.

OBJECTIVE

This study aims to identify and describe factors influencing the intention to use behavioral health information that is shared through HIEs.

METHODS

We used a mixed methods design consisting of two sequential phases. A validated survey instrument was emailed to clinical and nonclinical staff in Alabama and Oklahoma. The survey captured information about the impact of predictors on the intention to use behavioral health data in clinical decision making. Follow-up interviews were conducted with a subsample of participants to elaborate on the survey results. Partial least squares structural equation modeling was used to analyze survey data. Thematic analysis was used to identify themes from the interviews.

RESULTS

A total of 62 participants completed the survey. In total, 63% (n=39) of the participants were clinicians. Performance expectancy (β=.382; P=.01) and trust (β=.539; P<.001) predicted intention to use behavioral health information shared via HIEs. The interviewees (n=5) expressed that behavioral health information could be useful in clinical decision making. However, privacy and confidentiality concerns discourage sharing this information, which is generally missing from patient records altogether. The interviewees also stated that training for HIE use was not mandatory; the training that was provided did not focus specifically on the exchange of behavioral health information.

CONCLUSIONS

Despite barriers, individuals are willing to use behavioral health information from HIEs if they believe that it will enhance job performance and if the information being transmitted is trustworthy. The findings contribute to our understanding of the role HIEs can play in delivering integrated care, particularly to vulnerable patients.
Эффективность использования антилейкотриеновых препаратов для лечения бронхиальной астмы у детей с избыточной массой тела и ожирением
Authors: Kupkina A.V.
Published: December 2020

Актуальность. Избыточная масса тела и ожирение снижают эффективность базисной противоастматической терапии ингаляционными глюкокортикостероидами и их комбинацией с β2-агонистами длительного действия и теофиллинами, поэтому достижение контролируемости астмы требует повышения дозы препаратов. Антилейкотриеновые препараты рассматривают в качестве второй линии терапии как альтернативу кортикостероидам при лечении легкой персистирующей астмы и как компонент базисной противовоспалительной терапии персистирующей среднетяжелой астмы. Выбор варианта базисной терапии при одновременном наличии астмы и избыточной массы тела у детей должен быть обоснован врачом исходя из риск-ориентированного подхода к терапии. Цель: сравнить эффективность двух схем базисной терапии бронхиальной астмы у детей с избыточной массой тела и ожирением — схемы использования средних доз ингаляционных глюкокортикостероидов и схемы использования комбинации низких доз ингаляционных глюкокортикостероидов с антилейкотриеновым препаратом. Материалы и методы. Проведено исследование 64 больных бронхиальной астмой детей в возрасте от 6 до 18 лет с избыточной массой тела и ожирением. Дети были разделены на две терапевтические группы методом случайной выборки. Дети I группы получали комбинацию антилейкотриенового препарата с низкими дозами ингаляционных глюкокортикостероидов в течение 3 месяцев (схема терапии І). Дети II группы получали средние дозы ингаляционных глюкокортикостероидов в течение 3 месяцев (схема терапии ІІ). Для сравнения эффективности схем терапии всем детям была проведена спирометрия, анализ уровня сывороточного лептина, оценка клинических симптомов астмы, астма-контроль тест, оценка качества жизни по опроснику PAQLQ. Для анализа результатов использовали непараметрические методы статистической обработки данных. Результаты. Результат попарных сравнений терапевтических групп между собой после лечения выявил статистически значимое (p < 0,05) различие результатов лечения в пользу схемы терапии I как в улучшении показателей (Ме [QI; QIII]) клинических симптомов (уменьшение дневных, ночных симптомов и применение бронхолитиков при необходимости), так и в снижении уровня провоспалительного адипокина лептина в сыворотке крови и улучшении показателей качества жизни по шкалам PAQLQ «Активность» и «Симптомы». При межгрупповом сравнении результатов астма-контроль теста показатель относительного риска 2,06 (95% ВІ 1,1 ÷ 3,9) указывает на увеличение в среднем в 2 раза риска достижения полностью контролируемой астмы при применении схемы терапии I по сравнению с применением схемы терапии II (p = 0,037). Выводы. Терапевтический эффект схемы терапии с использованием комбинации низких доз ингаляционных глюкокортикостероидов с антилейкотриеновым препаратом позволяет рекомендовать именно ее при выборе варианта базисной терапии среднетяжелой бронхиальной астмы у детей с избыточной массой тела и ожирением.

Authors: Khaitovych M.V.
Published: December 2020

В статье представлены основные механизмы действия нейропротекторов и современные стратегии нейропротекции. Доказано, что в первую очередь эффективность нейропротекторов обусловлена антиэксайтотоксичным эффектом, прерыванием быстрых реакций глутамат-кальциевого каскада, блокадой провоспалительных цитокинов и молекул адгезии, торможением прооксидантных ферментов, усилением трофического обеспечения, предупреждением апоптоза. Описаны нейропротекторные свойства комплексных препаратов Силента и Когивис. Высокая эффективность в педиатрии обусловлена потенцированием действия их компонентов, а безопасность — низкими дозами каждого компонента.
Оценка качества жизни у пациентов с рассеянным склерозом
Authors: Bandrivska S.R. , Pravak Yu.B.
Published: December 2020

Рассеянный склероз (РС) является наиболее известным и распространенным по всему земному шару демиелинизирующим заболеванием нервной системы. РС болеет около 3 млн взрослого населения планеты (приблизительно 0,5–1 ‰) и около 20 тыс. в Украине. Данная патология входит в число так называемых «четырех всадников неврологического апокалипсиса» по своим медицинским и социальными последствиям. Заболевание занимает второе место по встречаемости среди пациентов трудоспособного возраста с инвалидизацией, сопровождается психоэмоциональными изменениями, которые проявляются поведенческими нарушениями. Препараты патогенетической и симптоматической терапии позволяют замедлить прогрессирование болезни, увеличить продолжительность жизни большинства больных РС. Однако есть целый ряд немоторных факторов, изменяющихся во время заболевания, которые влияют на самовосприятие пациента, его профессиональные и социальные качества. Такие люди часто склонны к депрессии и тревожности, они эмоционально нестабильны и подвержены частым и резким перепадам настроения. Интегральным показателем физического, психологического, эмоционального и социального функционирования больного РС является качество жизни. В исследовании оценивали качество жизни у больных РС с инвалидностью.
Диабетическая кардиомиопатия: диагностические биомаркеры
Authors: Serhiyenko V.A. , Serhiyenko A.A.
Published: December 2020

В обзоре приведены классификация биомаркеров заболеваний сердечно-сосудистой системы, биологические маркеры, которые нашли применение в кардиологической клинике, биомаркеры сердечной недостаточности, современные рекомендации по использованию биомаркеров для диагностики и лечения острой и хронической сердечной недостаточности. Особое внимание уделено значению прогипертрофических биомаркеров миокарда (предсердного натрийуретического пептида, натрийуретического пептида мозга и N-конечного фрагмента предшественника мозгового натрийуретического пептида, кардиотрофина-1); био­маркеров нарушений сократительной функции миокарда (тропонина); простеатозным биомаркерам диабетической кардиомиопатии (сердечному белку, связывающему жирные кислоты); значению эпикардиальной жировой ткани; маркерам ремоделирования внеклеточного матрикса (матриксным металлопротеиназам); маркерам фиброза и воспалительных процессов (трансформирующему фактору роста β, галектину-3, стимулирующему фактору роста ST2). Однако использование биомаркеров для идентификации дисфункции левого желудочка остается дискутабельным вопросом. Натрий­уретические пептиды высвобождаются в ответ на прогрессирование стресс-индуцированной кардиомиопатии, что редко наблюдается у пациентов с субклинической дисфункцией и гипертрофией левого желудочка. Ожирение ассоциируется с более низкими уровнями натрийуретических пептидов и может ухудшить чувствительность теста. Тем не менее скрининг на основе натрийуретического пептида является эффективным для выявления умеренной диастолической дисфункции. Сообщается также о других потенциальных биомаркерах нарушений функции миокарда при сахарном диабете, включая циркулирующие микрорибонуклеиновые кислоты и метаболиты глюкозы (например, O-GlcNAc), обнаруженные в циркулирующих эритроцитах. Однако до сих пор не достигнут четкий консенсус относительно клинической роли этих возможных биомаркеров.

The curriculum transformation of primary and secondary educationin Indonesia had stimulated the transformations movement of technology. Oneof these transformations was in the form of the student grade report (e-rapor) inIndonesian schools. This transformation required primary and secondary schoolteachers to be adapted to use information technology. The efforts to answer thistransformation were carried out through the technical guidance to providetraining for teachers of Sekolah Menengah Atas (SMA) and Sekolah MenengahKejuruan (SMK) Persada Bandar Lampung by filling out this e-Rapor. Thistraining was carried out through several main materials i.e., the applicationinstallation, the application troubleshooting, and the use of e-Rapor. Thistraining was implemented in 3 days. Moreover, the next training was alsoconducted to deal with some of the arising problems after the technical guidancewas conducted. This technical guidance was attended by 27 teachers. Thistechnical guidance was implemented by delivering material, conducting thesimulation, and doing discussion. The result of this technical guidance wasanalyzed quantitatively through observations and discussions. It showed that alltechnical guidance participants were able to fill out the e-Rapor systemaccording to their respective roles after the technical guidance implementationon filling out the e-Rapor.
Postschool outcomes for Korean American young adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities, and parental perceptions of transition planning
Authors: Kim Kyeong-Hwa , Morningstar Mary E.
Published: December 2020

In the literature on young adults with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (IDD), little research has been conducted regarding the perspectives of Korean American young adults with disabilities and their families. This study investigated the postschool outcomes of Korean
American young adults (aged 18–25 years) with IDD, and their parents' perceptions of transition planning. The postsecondary employment outcomes of Korean American young adults with IDD were poorer than those of other groups of young adults with IDD. Korean American young adults with
IDD were also less likely to be enrolled in higher education than were other young adults with IDD studied in past research. Many parents were dissatisfied with the transition planning for their children leaving high school. It is, therefore, important for professionals to ensure that Korean
American parents are equipped with appropriate information related to their child's transition planning.
ADOECIMENTO E MEDICALIZAÇÃO DE PROFESSORES UNIVERSITÁRIOS FRENTE A PRECARIZAÇÃO E INTENSIFICAÇÃO DO TRABALHO
Authors: Facci Marilda Gonçalves Dias , Esper Marina Beatriz Shima Barroco
Published: December 2020

O objetivo desse trabalho é discutir sobre o uso de medicamentos por professores, apresentando dados de uma pesquisa realizada com docentes de duas universidades públicas do Paraná e tomando como referência alguns pressupostos da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural. Inicialmente, trataremos do contexto do adoecimento e finalizaremos discorrendo, mais especificamente, a respeito do uso de medicamentos, ilustrando com informações obtidas a partir do resultado de pesquisa realizada a partir aplicação de 52 questionários que foram respondidos por professores. Como resultado, constatamos que 32 (61, 54%) afirmaram que tomaram algum medicamento nos últimos 12 meses; e quanto aos motivos do adoecimento, alegaram o seguinte: estresse/desgaste emocional/tensão/pressão psicológica (17 respostas); sobrecarga de trabalho (9 respostas); relações interpessoais conflituosas na academia (6 respostas). Essas e outras respostas apresentadas levam-nos à conclusão de que os docentes estão utilizando medicamentos para conseguirem lidar com a precarização do trabalho vigente na atualidade, que conduz, entre outros fatores, ao produtivismo, à competição entre pares e ao mercantilismo da educação, por exemplo, fazendo com que haja o processo de alienação, no qual há uma ruptura entre sentido e significado da atividade pedagógica. O uso de medicamentos pelos professores precisa ser compreendido levando-se em conta a totalidade que envolve o desenvolvimento da prática docente, cuja subjetividade está atrelada a condições histórico-sociais que produzem o adoecimento docente.

Published: December 2020

Este ensaio apresenta  a região do Passo dos Negros, localizada em Pelotas – RS. A localidade representa um lugar de luta e resistência negra ao longo do tempo. Hoje trata-se de uma área em conflito, que está passando por um processo de especulação imobiliária e a comunidade corre risco de ser removida do local. Nas narrativas e na paisagem percebemos um Passo dos Negros onde habitam sujeitos que constroem "sua cidade", que fixam suas casas e espaços de pertencimento. A proposta é pensar a cidade fora de pretensões normativas.
Warhol e Duchamp: o cotidiano e o design incorporados à arte
Authors: Silva Sérgio Luciano da
Published: December 2020

Este artigo apóia-se nas interpretações do filósofo Arthur Danto sobre as concepções de Andy Warhol e sua obra, procurando compreender como ocorre a apropriação de objetos do design por esse expoente da Pop-Art. Ao lado de Danto, o filósofo Thierry de Duve contribui para a compreensão das influências de Marcel Duchamp e do Dadaísmo, no trabalho de Warhol. O objetivo desta investigação é comprovar como a ação de Warhol promove uma mudança na significação dos objetos utilitários conduzindo-os do universo do design para o artístico. Nossa hipótese é de que a atuação desse artista, assim como a de seu antecessor, Duchamp, produz um deslocamento ontológico ao “transfigurar” objetos triviais, de uso cotidiano, em obras de arte, sem alterar suas características físicas. AbstractThis paper is based on the interpretations of the philosopher Arthur Danto on the concepts of Andy Warhol and his work, seeking to understand how the appropriation of objects of design occurs by this exponent of Pop-Art. Along with Danto, the philosopher Thierry de Duve contributes to the understanding of the influences of Marcel Duchamp and Dadaism, in Warhol’s work. The purpose of this investigation is to demonstrate how Warhol’s action promotes a change in the meaning of utilitarian objects, leading them from the universe of design to the artistic. Our hypothesis is that the artist’s performance, as well as his predecessor’s, Duchamp, produces an ontological detour by “transfiguring” trivial objects, of everyday life, into works of art, without changing their physical features.
Salve Santos Negros: curadoria, temporalidades e arte colonial

Este artigo examina as dimensões narrativas e os regimes temporais perceptíveis na exposição Salve Santos Negros, com curadoria compartilhada do Rinaldo Pereira dos Santos e Dió Diniz, e realizada pelo Museu de Arte Sacra de Pernambuco, entre 2018 e 2019. Tal exposição nos oferece a oportunidade de conhecer operadores da prática curatorial que ativam preceitos e relações étnico-raciais, artísticos e históricos importantes para calcular e narrar o passado em espaços museológicos. Elegemos um aspecto crucial da curadoria: sua capacidade de tencionar regimes de historicidade distintos num processo ênfase nas narrativas históricas voltadas para a arte colonial, arte europeia dos seiscentos e a arte contemporânea.Abstract This article examines the narrative dimensions and the perceived temporal re-gimes in the Salve Santos Negros exhibition, with shared curatorship by Rinaldo Pereira dos Santos and Dió Diniz, and held by the Museum of Sacred Art of Pernam-buco, between 2018 and 2019. This exhibition offers us the opportunity to meet operators of curatorial practice that activate important ethnic-racial, artistic and historical precepts and relations to calculate and narrate the past in museum spa-ces. We chose a crucial aspect of curation: its ability to intend distinct historicity regimes in a process that emphasizes historical narratives focused on colonial art, European art of the seventeenth century and contemporary art.
Flores de algum lugar

Published: December 2020

Tenho interesse pela materialidade dos objetos que faço: cada coisa precisa ter peso, textura, cor e medidas que dialogam com o espaço. Nesta série de trabalhos, costuro, crocheto, bordo e aplico materiais como um caminho que estrutura formas imaginadas a partir da minha relação com certos lugares: os jardins e as ruas das cidades. Pretendo que a estética das esculturas que crio evoquem expressões da arte popular, especialmente, do artesanato mexicano. A intenção é tornar visível a conexão entre a mão e o pensamento, entre a arte e o artesanato, entre a vida que acontece nos ciclos das plantas, especialmente flores, e a estética caótica do espaço urbano.
Notas sobre a História das Exposições no discurso curatorial
Authors: Vogel Felix
Published: December 2020

O artigo discute como a crescente importância e a transformação das exposições desde os anos 1960 têm motivado um envolvimento mais profundo com sua própria história. Nesse sentido, o autor assinala a importância dos programas de estudos curatoriais estabelecidos desde os anos 1980, uma vez que são ambientes de treinamento prático e pesquisa histórico-teórica. Contudo, argumenta que os discursos sobre as exposições ainda são quase que exclusivamente enunciados pelos próprios curadores, que a partir de seu lugar de fala se colocam ao mesmo tempo como sujeito e objeto. Assim, ao figurarem como protagonistas da História das Exposições, os curadores acabam por criar novos cânones, resultando em possível padronização e homogeneização dos modelos expositivos. AbstractThis article discusses how the growing importance and transformation of exhibitions since the 1960s have motivated a deeper involvement with their own history. In this sense, the author points out the relevance of curatorial study programs established since the 1980s, once they are environments for practical training and historical-theoretical research. However, he argues that discourses about exhibitions are still almost exclusively enunciated by curators themselves, who, from their speaker position, place themselves at the same time as subject and object. Thus, by appearing as protagonists in the History of Exhibitions, curators end up creating new canons, resulting in possible standardization and homogenization of exhibition models
Em quarentena: apontamentos sobre educação em museus em tempos de pandemia
Authors: Schenkel Camila
Published: December 2020

O presente artigo reflete sobre os desafios impostos à área de educação em museus durante a pandemia de Covid-19 a partir de três eixos: uma análise de estratégias adotadas por grandes instituições culturais durante o isolamento; a fragilidade das equipes educativas dentro dessas instituições; e as dificuldades de transpor os fundamentos da mediação para o ambiente digital. Recorrendo a pesquisas de Carmen Mörsch sobre mediação e reflexões recentes de Jacques Rancière e Franco Berardi, entre outras referências, destaca-se a importância do conhecimento prático acumulado pelas equipes educativas para desenvolver formas menos excludentes e hierarquizadas de relações com obras e públicos. AbstractThis article considers de challenges faced by museum education during the Covid-19 pandemics from three points: an analysis of the strategies adopted by mainstream cultural institutions during quarantine; the fragile position of educating teams inside these institutions and the obstacles to transpose the characteristics of mediation to digital platforms. Based on Carmen Mörsch’s research on cultural mediation and recent writings of Jacques Rancière and Franco Berardi, among other references, the practical knowledge acquired by education teams is pointed out as a valuable resource in order to develop less excluding and hierarchical relations with works and publics.

Published: December 2020

Este artigo aborda a reconstrução da memória através de dois livros fotográficos do artista paulistano André Penteado, respectivamente O Suicídio de meu pai (2007-2014) e Cabanagem (2015). Se no primeiro trabalho o artista propõe relações mais voltadas para o autobiográfico e o micronarrativo, no que concerne aos tabus sobre o suicídio e o sofrimento individual, no segundo, ele nos oferece uma discussão mais ampla sobre os elementos que ancoram os apagamentos históricos relacionados à violência e ao sofrimento coletivo
Da fotografia como circum-navegação da antropologia
Authors: Sterzi Eduardo
Published: December 2020

“Eu fotografo, mas não sou fotógrafo [...]”. “Eu [...] vejo a fotografia como um modo de fugir da antropologia, de sair da antropologia, assim como vi na antropologia indígena que eu escolhi como profissão um modo de sair do Brasil.” Jamais foram simples – por mais que tenham sido constantes – as relações entre antropologia e fotografia no percurso intelectual de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Durante muito tempo, até recentemente, era perceptível certo desconforto do antropólogo quando convidado a discorrer sobre suas experiências fotográficas. Esse desconforto vinha talvez de não saber indicar exatamente qual o lugar que a fotografia ocupava em meio a uma prática antropológica sempre mais consolidada e reconhecida. É essa própria persistência da fotografia a despeito do desconforto que, porém, merece ser pensada. Abstract“I do take photographs, but I am not a photographer [...]”. “I [...] see photography as a way of escaping from anthropology, leaving anthropology, just as I saw in indigenous anthropology, which I chose as a profession, as a way of getting away from Brazil.” Relations between anthropology and photography—however constant—have never been straightforward in Eduardo Viveiros de Castro’s intellectual development. For a long time, indeed until quite recently, he clearly evinced discomfort or hesitancy when asked to discuss his photographic experiences—perhaps due to an inability to pinpoint photography’s role in his increasingly consolidated and recognized anthropological practice. However, it is this very persistence of his photography—despite his discomfort—that ought to be examined.
A reativação de memórias silenciosas na obra de Patrícia Francisco
Authors: Ribeiro Niura
Published: December 2020

Revisitar o passado de processos sociais e culturais tem sido um dos caminhos contemplados por determinadas práticas artísticas contemporâneas. E para tal, pesquisas em arquivos têm sido fundamental para elaborar uma reflexão crítico-estética. O texto aborda a poética da artista Patrícia Francisco que procura reativar as memórias silenciadas dos escravizados, por meio de obras materializadas em fotografias, em vídeo performances, objetos e instalações. Pensar sobre a memória e o esquecimento são vetores importantes que podem contribuir para conscientização de que atrocidades não voltarão a acontecer.
Passagens para o rumor do mundo, da marquise ao museu
Authors: Silva Diogo De Moraes
Published: December 2020

Dedicado à análise de “A marquise, o MAM e nós no meio”, exposição realizada em 2018 no Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, o presente texto resulta da interação com seu projeto curatorial, em três instâncias: frequentação da mostra e de seu programa público; entrevistas com seus agentes curatoriais; e mobilização de referências bibliográficas afins às problemáticas enfrentadas pelo projeto. Em atenção às camadas históricas e às fronteiras sociais presentes na marquise do parque Ibirapuera – e no museu que esta acolhe –, o texto procura evidenciar as estratégias expositivas adotadas no sentido da evocação e da transposição das mesmas.AbstractDedicated to the analysis of ‘A marquise, o MAM e nós no meio’ [The Marquise, MAM and Us in the Middle], an exhibition held in 2018 at São Paulo Museum of Modern Art, this text results from the interaction with its curatorial project in three levels: attendance of the show and its public program; interviews with its curatorial agents; and mobiliza-tion of bibliographic references related to the problems faced by the project. Given the historical layers and social boundaries present in the Marquise of Ibirapuera Park – and in the museum that it hosts – the text seeks to highlight the expository strategies adop-ted in the sense of evoking and transposing these layers and boundaries, respectively.

Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) is defined as unexplained hearing loss of at least 30 decibels (dB) occurring within 72 hours over at least three contiguous frequencies. ISSHL is common and has a significant effect on quality of life. Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy is a medical treatment method that aims to increase the level of dissolved oxygen in the tissues. Correcting perilymph hypoxia is the goal of HBO2 therapy for ISSHL. In recent years, HBO2 therapy has been increasingly involved in the treatment of ISSHL. The medical records of 135 patients who had received HBO2 therapy for ISSHL were reviewed. Demographic properties of patients, severity of hearing loss, delay until HBO2 therapy, number of HBO2 therapy sessions and outcomes were evaluated. Findings of the present study are similar to most of previous studies that demonstrate that HBO2 therapy as adjunctive treatment results in an improvement of hearing. Early treatment is important for ISSHL, and HBO2 therapy is recommended in the early period, particularly within 14 days of onset.

Purpose: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmic emergency with poor prognosis, despite diligent conventional treatment. According to the clinical recommendations of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) is a potentially beneficial treatment; however, the benefit of adjunctive HBO2 in patients with CRAO in Korea remains unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of adjunctive HBO2 in patients with CRAO. Methods: This registry-based observational study included adult patients who presented to the emergency department or ophthalmology outpatient department within 24 hours of the onset of CRAO symptoms. Data of patients from October 2016 to February 2019 were analyzed. The patients were categorized into two groups according to the use of adjunctive HBO2: no HBO2 and HBO2. Result: During the study period, 34 consecutive patients were enrolled, of which 19 were included in the study. In the total cohort, 10 patients (52.6%) were treated with adjunctive HBO2. There were no statistically significant differences in terms of age, sex, comorbidities, duration from symptoms onset to hospital visit, presence of the cilioretinal artery, and use of anterior chamber paracentesis between the two groups. The HBO2 group showed significantly higher change in best-corrected visual acuity than the no-HBO2 group (p=0.043). Conclusion: Patients with CRAO in the HBO2 group showed significantly greater visual improvement than those in the no HBO2 group. Clinicians should consider adjunctive HBO2 in the treatment approach in patients with CRAO who visit the hospital within 24 hours of symptoms onset.
Development of a high-speed laser material deposition process for additive manufacturing

Published: December 2020

Extreme high-speed laser material deposition (EHLA) is a variant of laser material deposition (LMD) with a modified powder gas jet focus. EHLA allows deposition at high process speeds in the range of several hundred meters per minute and the deposition of layers as thin as 25 μm. Feed rates can be in the range of 50 g/min or above. The processing of material combinations with poor weldability or different melting points is possible, with simultaneously smaller heat-affected zone and dilution zone compared to conventional LMD. Until now, EHLA has mainly been used for applying wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coatings to rotationally symmetric parts, where high process speeds are achieved by rotation of the substrate. Developing EHLA for additive manufacturing (AM) aims at manufacturing highly individualized parts with high volume buildup rates and finer structural resolution compared to conventional LMD. The main steps toward harnessing EHLA for AM, termed EHLA 3D, are (a) process parameter development for volume buildup through deposition of multiple layers on top of each other and (b) the development of system technology that allows relative spatial movement between the powder nozzle and the substrate at high speeds and high accuracy in three dimensions. With a fast back-and-forth motion, high acceleration rates are necessary to ensure high volume buildup rates and high powder deposition efficiency. In this work, a specially designed tripod machine concept that has been developed in cooperation at Fraunhofer ILT is introduced. Theoretical considerations concerning achievable powder deposition efficiency as a function of process speed and acceleration of the handling system are presented. Furthermore, the results of process parameter development for up to 40 m/min with the iron-base alloy 1.4404 are shown. Virtually pore-free deposition of cuboid volumes is demonstrated. The mechanical values of the additively manufactured volumes are compared to the values for solution-annealed material, conventional LMD-manufactured samples, and samples produced by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Finally, an outlook on future research activities required for further development of EHLA 3D is given, covering system technology, buildup strategies, software integration, and possible applications of the new technology in repair, coating, and (hybrid-)additive contexts.

Authors: Anes BOUBRIS Abdelbassed , HADDAM Faiza
Published: December 2020

Research has revealed that teachers’ thinking processes highly influence their instructional and evaluative behaviors. Understanding teachers’ beliefs and theoretical orientations about reading are more than necessary to rethink reading instruction and assessment. The present paper reviews a case study conducted at the Department of English, Tlemcen University, Algeria. The study looked at teachers’ beliefs and theoretical orientations regarding reading assessment and its effect on EFL learners’ comprehension ability. It examines the correspondence between reading teachers’ theoretical orientations and classroom reading assessment. This study included 20 teachers and 120 students. Data collection procedures included questionnaires and classroom observations. Data analysis exposed the congruence between teachers’ beliefs about reading and classroom reading assessment. Moreover, standardized classroom reading assessment negatively impacted learners’ comprehension ability and reading motivation. The discussions underscored the importance of alternative reading assessment methods such as portfolios, which represent genuine and effective language learning strategies according to modern research.

Des échanges langagiers dans la classe pour construire des usages cognitifs du langage et réduire les inégalités scolaires
Authors: Vinel Elise , Bautier Elisabeth
Published: December 2020

Au sein des classes, les démarches de construction des savoirs deviennent la norme et se substituent peu à peu aux pédagogies transmissives et frontales. Dès lors, les échanges élèves-élèves et enseignant·e-élèves sont très présents dans les classes, mais ils sont souvent ambigus et ne permettent pas à tous les élèves de réfléchir et de conceptualiser. Nous interrogeons ainsi la nature du discours produit au sein des classes, du point de vue des conditions et possibilités d’apprentissages dont ils sont porteurs, compte tenu des situations d’échanges mises en œuvre par les enseignant·e·s. Nous nous appuyons dans nos analyses sur une recherche en cours portant sur l’enseignement de l’orthographe et de la grammaire, et le corpus recueilli à cette occasion.
