OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of hepatitis B vaccination coverage and sero-protective levels of anti-HBs antibody titers among dental students. METHODOLOGY: A cross sectional study was undertaken over the course of 6 months i.e. 9th May, 2019 to 9th Nov, 2019 on 130 dentistry students in Foundation University College of Dentistry, Islamabad. Permission was taken from hospital ethical committee FUCD for the study. Students who received full course of HBV vaccination after recording in a given performa and who gave consent for testing were sampled for anti-HBs antibody titers. RESULTS: It was found that out of 130 dental students only 5 (3.8%) have checked Anti-HBs titer levels after full course of vaccination and 113 (86.9%) students reported to have received three complete doses of hepatitis B vaccine. After estimation of anti-Hbs antibody levels of 113(86.9%) students, it was found that 34 (30.1%) possessed negative seroprotective level while 79 (69.9%) positive seroprotective level. CONCLUSION: The study concluded inadequate vaccination coverage among dentistry students where 86.9% students were fully vaccinated, with considerable reduction in anti-HBs titters found among 30.1% students.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the amount of moisture present in the TWS of dental units in dental teaching hospitals (DTH) and private clinics (PC) across Karachi. METHODOLOGY: A total of 285 dental units were included in the study out of which 250 belonged to DTH and 35 to PC. Gushing was initially performed on hand to remove visible moisture from the TWS. The number of gushes required to remove visible moisture were recorded and the moisture-sensing device was used to assess the amount of invisible moisture in dry-air released from the TWS. SPSS v 22 was used to compare data of DTH and PC with the help of Mann Whitney U test. The pre- and post-exposure humidity of the sensing chamber was analyzed through Wilcoxon signed rank test. p value of < 0.05 was considered as significant. RESULTS: The power of the study was found to be > 99%. The moisture was present in 77.6% of the TWS in DTH and 37.1% in PC (p <0.001). Significantly higher number of hand gushes were required in DTH to eliminate the visible moisture as compared to PC (p= 0.022). Similarly, TWS in DTH were seen to liberate significantly increased amount of invisible moisture as compared to PC (p-value<0.001). CONCLUSION: Alarmingly high number of three-way syringes of dental units in dental teaching hospitals had moisture. This moisture can jeopardize restorative treatment and may expose patient to lethal microbes. KEYWORDS: Three way syringe; Restorative; Moisture; Resin Composite; Contamination

Published: April 2023

OBJECTIVE: To gain an insight into cross infection protocols being followed by dental postgraduate residents in the prevention of the spread of coronavirus. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional survey-based study was conducted using questionnaires, which were distributed among dental postgraduate residents working in different public and private institutes in Karachi, through social media. Data was analysed using SPSS, version 21.0 with p-value <0.05 to determine significant differences between both sectors. RESULTS: Ninety seven residents from both institutes responded. 60 (93.75%) and 29 (87.87%) residents from the public and private institutes respectively, reported to having the patient's temperature checked with an infrared thermometer. However, a lower compliance was noted in regard to the use of hand sanitization with a hydro alcoholic solution by both institutes with 28 (43.75%) from public and 24 (72.72%) from private institutes. 11 (17.18%) residents from public institutes responding with disposal of PPE after every patient, whereas 1 (3.03%) resident from a private institute responded with disposal after every patient. However, due to a smaller sample size, the differences were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The pandemic has exposed numerous shortcomings in the dental healthcare system, regardless of the sector. Since COVID-19 is likely to become an endemic, compliance with cross infection protocols needs to be improved so as to prevent its rapid spread. In a third world country like Pakistan, where resources are already scarce, greater emphasis needs to be placed on funding the dental healthcare system to enhance basic cross infection controls.

Published: April 2023

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of parafunctional oral habits and their association with types of malocclusions in all three planes among the adolescents. METHODOLOGY: This cross-sectional study involved 610 students studying in 8 different schools of Raiwind, Lahore. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from Sharif Medical and Dental College, Lahore. Data was collected by the primary researcher and recorded in predesigned proforma. Each student was inspected while seated in an upright position in natural day light, using disposable wooden blades to retract the cheek to record posterior dental relationships and to retract lips to record anterior dental relationships. Data was scrutinized using SPSS and chi-square test was used to find the statistical significance of the association between various parafunctional oral habits and types of malocclusions. RESULTS: The frequency of parafunctional oral habits was 57.3% among 610 adolescent students, being more prevalent in females (72.9%) than males (52.3%). The most common oral parafunctional habit was bruxism (18.0%) and least frequent was thumb sucking (8.4%). Association between oral parafunctional habits and malocclusion in all three planes was found to be significant (p=0.0). CONCLUSION: The parafunctional oral habits such as bruxism, tongue thrusting, nail biting, mouth breathing and thumb sucking are very commonly found among adolescents in the same descending order. Most common malocclusions found to be associated with parafunctional oral habits are exaggerated over-jet, open bite and deep bite. Parafunctional oral habits have a strong influence on developing malocclusion traits in all three dimensions.

Published: April 2023

Objective.

To assess changes in antibiotic resistance of eight of the World Health Organization priority bug-drug combinations and consumption of six antibiotics (ceftriaxone, cefepime, piperacillin/tazobactam, meropenem, ciprofloxacin, vancomycin) before (March 2018 to July 2019) and during (March 2020 to July 2021) the COVID-19 pandemic in 31 hospitals in Valle del Cauca, Colombia.

Methods.

This was a before/after study using routinely collected data. For antibiotic consumption, daily defined doses (DDD) per 100 bed-days were compared.

Results.

There were 23 405 priority bacterial isolates with data on antibiotic resistance. The total number of isolates increased from 9 774 to 13 631 in the periods before and during the pandemic, respectively. While resistance significantly decreased for four selected bug-drug combinations (Klebsiella pneumoniae, extended spectrum beta lactamase [ESBL]-producing, 32% to 24%; K. pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant, 4% to 2%; Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenem-resistant, 12% to 8%; Acinetobacter baumannii, carbapenem-resistant, 23% to 9%), the level of resistance for Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin significantly increased (42% to 57%). There was no change in resistance for the remaining three combinations (Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant; Escherichia coli, ESBL-producing; E. coli, carbapenem-resistant). Consumption of all antibiotics increased. However, meropenem consumption decreased in intensive care unit settings (8.2 to 7.1 DDD per 100 bed-days).

Conclusions.

While the consumption of antibiotics increased, a decrease in antibiotic resistance of four bug-drug combinations was observed during the pandemic. This was possibly due to an increase in community-acquired infections. Increasing resistance of E. faecium to vancomycin must be monitored. The findings of this study are essential to inform stewardship programs in hospital settings of Colombia and similar contexts elsewhere.

Objective.

To compare the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from inpatient and outpatient samples in Ecuador.

Methods.

A secondary analysis was done of data on bacteria isolated from inpatient and outpatient samples. Data were taken from the 2018 national antimicrobial resistance surveillance database of the National Reference Center for Antimicrobial Resistance. The variables included were: age, sex, inpatient versus outpatient setting, type of specimen, bacterial species identified, pattern of resistance to antibiotics, and geographic area.

Results.

Data from 57 305 bacterial isolates were included in the study: 48.8% were from hospitalized patients, 55.7% were from women, and 60.1% were from patients older than 45 years. Urine (42.9%) and blood (12.4%) were the most common clinical samples. Overall, 77.1% of bacterial isolates were gram-negative (83% and 71% in outpatients and inpatients, respectively). The most common gram-positive and gram-negative species were Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, respectively. Antimicrobial resistance levels were high (up to 80% for some antimicrobial drugs), and were higher in hospitalized patients compared with outpatients. A variety of carbapenemases were found to confer resistance to carbapenems (antibiotics of last resort) in gram-negative bacteria.

Conclusions.

The study findings provide an important baseline on antimicrobial resistance in Ecuador. This will allow the strengthening of guidelines of the surveillance system, the creation of public policies for standardization of laboratory methodologies, the proper handling of information, and the development of empirical therapy guidelines based on local epidemiology.

Published: April 2023

Objective.

To describe antimicrobial resistance profiles of Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. isolated from chicken carcasses and the antimicrobials commonly used in animals in Ecuador and provide information on antimicrobial resistance patterns for implementing evidence-based corrective measures.

Methods.

Meat samples were collected from chicken carcasses in 199 slaughterhouses across Ecuador as part of a national pilot study for monitoring antimicrobial resistance in agricultural sources in 2019. Samples were tested for E. coli and Salmonella spp. Sensitivity to 10 critically important and three highly important antimicrobials (from a human health perspective) was assessed. The country report submitted to the World Organization for Animal Health was accessed to extract the quantity of antimicrobials produced or imported for use in animals.

Results.

Of 383 samples, E. coli was isolated from 148 (39%) and Salmonella spp. from 20 (5%) samples. Ninety percent of the isolates were resistant to at least one critically important antimicrobial. Resistance was highest to erythromycin (E. coli 76%; Salmonella spp. 85%) and tetracycline (E. coli 71%; Salmonella spp. 90%). Critically or highly important antimicrobials (colistin, tetracycline, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole) formed the bulk (87%) of antimicrobials used in animals as per the World Organization for Animal Health report.

Conclusions.

High prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in poultry in Ecuador calls for the development of guidelines and regulations on the use of antimicrobials and for engagement with livestock producers. The existing surveillance system needs to be strengthened to improve the monitoring of antimicrobial use and evolving resistance patterns.

Published: April 2023

Objectives.

To assess antibiotic susceptibility of World Health Organization (WHO) priority bacteria (Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus pneumoniae) in blood cultures at the Orinoquía regional hospital in Colombia.

Methods.

This was cross-sectional study using routine laboratory data for the period 2019–2021. Data on blood samples from patients suspected of a bloodstream infection were examined. We determined: the total number of blood cultures done and the proportion with culture yield; the characteristics of patients with priority bacteria; and the type of bacteria isolated and antibiotic resistance patterns.

Results.

Of 25 469 blood cultures done, 1628 (6%) yielded bacteria; 774 (48%) of these bacteria were WHO priority pathogens. Most of the priority bacteria isolated (558; 72%) were gram-negative and 216 (28%) were gram-positive organisms. Most patients with priority bacteria (666; 86%) were hospitalized in wards other than the intensive care unit, 427 (55%) were male, and 321 (42%) were ≥ 60 years of age. Of the 216 gram-positive bacteria isolated, 205 (95%) were Staphylococcus aureus. Of the 558 gram-negative priority bacteria isolated, the three most common were Escherichia coli (34%), Klebsiella pneumoniae (28%), and Acinetobacter baumannii (20%). The highest resistance of Staphylococcus aureus was to oxacillin (41%). For gram-negative bacteria, resistance to antibiotics ranged from 4% (amikacin) to 72% (ampicillin).

Conclusions.

Bacterial yield from blood cultures was low and could be improved. WHO priority bacteria were found in all hospital wards. This calls for rigorous infection prevention and control standards and continued surveillance of antibiotic resistance.

Published: April 2023

Objectives.

To determine the proportion of Salmonella enterica in fecal samples of live pigs with suspected salmonellosis analyzed at the diagnostic unit of the University of Antioquia, Colombia between 2019 and 2021, and examine the serotypes and antimicrobial resistance patterns.

Methods.

This was a laboratory-based cross-sectional study of routine data on fecal samples received from pig farms in all nine subregions of Antioquia state, Colombia. Salmonella spp. detection at the university is done using enrichment, selective culture, and polymerase chain reaction. Serotypes were identified using the Kauffmann–White scheme and isolates were tested for antimicrobial susceptibility using broth microdilution.

Results.

Of 653 samples tested, 149 (23%) were positive for S. enterica. Nine serotypes were identified. The most common were Salmonella Typhimurium (56%) and its monophasic variant (35%). Resistance to ampicillin (70%) was most frequently observed, followed by ciprofloxacin (55%), and sulfamethoxazole–trimethoprim (52%). No isolates were resistant to amikacin and gentamicin. Multidrug resistance (resistance to ≥ 3 classes of antibiotics) was observed in 61 (44%) isolates. Multidrug resistance was highest in S. Typhimurium (57%) compared with the other serotypes. Serotype was associated with multidrug resistance (p = 0.01), but age of the pig and sub-region were not.

Conclusions.

The proportion of Salmonella spp. and the associated high levels of multidrug resistance are of concern and may indicate irrational use of antimicrobials and poor management practices in pig production systems in the region. Strengthened surveillance is needed to monitor and improve farm management practices and the use of antimicrobials in farms in Colombia.

Objective.

Colistin is an antibiotic of last resort for treating serious Gram-negative bacterial infections. However, the misuse of colistin, especially as an animal growth promoter, has contributed to increasing antimicrobial resistance, mediated mainly through plasmid transfer of the mcr-1 gene. This study assessed the prevalence of phenotypic and molecular colistin resistance in Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae in Ecuador in healthy humans and their chickens and pigs.

Methods.

Fecal samples were collected from humans and their chickens and pigs in two rural coastal and Amazon regions between April and August 2020. Gram-negative bacteria were isolated and identified using conventional techniques. Phenotypic resistance was determined using the broth microdilution technique, and the mcr-1 gene was detected using conventional polymerase chain reaction.

Results.

A total of 438 fecal samples were obtained from 137 humans, 147 pigs and 154 chickens. The prevalence of E. coli isolates was 86.3% (378/438) and K. pneumoniae, 37.4% (164/438). Overall, the mcr-1 gene was found in 90% (340/378) of E. coli isolates, with higher prevalences found in isolates from coastal regions (96.5%, 191/198), humans (95.6%, 111/116) and chickens (91.8%, 123/134); for K. pneumoniae, the gene was found in 19.5% (32/164) of isolates, with equal distribution between regions and hosts. Only four isolates, two E. coli and two K. pneumoniae, showed phenotypic resistance: mcr-1 was present in both E. coli strains but absent in the K. pneumoniae strains.

Conclusions.

Despite a low prevalence of phenotypic resistance to colistin, the high prevalence of the mcr-1 gene in E. coli is of concern. Ecuador’s ban on using colistin in animal husbandry must be enforced, and continual monitoring of the situation should be implemented.

ADISI MASSA BARU SECARA KONTEKSTUAL PADA MUSEUM TAI KWUN
Authors: Nugrahadi Pandu Adikara Hidayat
Published: April 2023

Adisi massa pada suatu kawasan terkadang dibutuhkan dalam pemenuhan kebutuhan maupun tujuan tertentu dari suatu tempat misalnya untuk pemeliharaan, redesain, pengembangan kawasan dan sebagainya. Akan tetapi penambahan massa terkadang dilakukan semena-mena padahal memiliki caranya tersendiri untuk beradaptasi pada sekitarnya sehingga lingkungan disekelilingnya memiliki transisi yang lebih halus dan sesuai dengan tema yang ada. Maka dari itu dibutuhkan suatu pendekatan dan ketentuan untuk menjadi pedoman dalam melakukan penambahan dalam kawasan yang dibungkus dalam konsep kontekstualitas. Kajian ini dapat dikatakan penting karena sedikitnya pembahasan mengenai adisi yang sesuai konteks terutama pada obyek museum Tai Kwun. Karya tulis ini merupakan contoh penerapan adisi pada suatu kawasan dengan berlandaskan kontekstualisme dari suatu tempat. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa adisi pada bangunan dapat menambah fungsi akan tetapi tetap menyesuaikan tema dari bangunan lama yang ada. Diharapkan kajian ini dapat memberikan contoh pendekatan analisis deskriptif yang kualitatif dalam kaitannya dengan perancangan arsitektur dan menjadi acuan dalam proses mendesain dalam penambahan bangunan yang berlandaskan kontekstualisme tempatnya.
Ellagic acid alleviates pulmonary inflammation and oxidative stress in mouse model of diisononyl phthalate-induced asthma

Published: April 2023

Polyvinyl chloride is plasticized using diisononyl phthalate (DiNP), and exposure to phthalates has been linked to the emergence of asthma and allergies. The adjuvant impact of DiNP exposure results in allergic airway inflammation. In the current study, we looked into how ellagic acid (ELA) impacted asthma brought on by DiNP. Male BALB/c mice (n=40, 20-30 g) were divided into 4 groups of 10 mice each, and the following treatments were given to each group: group 1 (control) received saline orally for 30 days; group 2 (ELA) received 10 mg/kg of ELA (oral) for 30 days; group 3 (DiNP & ELA) received 10 mg/kg of ELA (oral) for 7 days prior to DiNP (50mg/kg) exposure (intraperitoneal and intranasal); group 4 (DiNP) received 50 mg/kg DiNP. After the last administration, mice were sacrificed, lungs were removed and their bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was collected which was used for biochemical and histopathological analysis. The mice given DiNP had changes in their histoarchitecture, inflammatory cells, antioxidant status, and inflammation markers. Malondialdehyde (MDA) and inflammatory biomarkers (NO, MPO) were considerably higher (p< 0.05) in the lungs of DiNP-treated mice than in the control group. In the lungs, DiNP reduced the concentration of non-enzymatic antioxidants (GSH and AA), and the activity of enzymatic antioxidants (SOD, CAT, and GST). DiNP also altered inflammatory cells (eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, leucocytes) in the BALF. ELA administration ameliorated these changes. Histopathological analysis revealed airway inflammation characterized by inflammatory cell infiltration, oedema, hemorrhage, and constricted alveoli space. Additionally, the mice co-treated with ELA and DiNP experienced mild inflammation of the alveoli and interstitial spaces as well as mild thickening of the alveolar septae. ELA offered a protective effect against DiNP-induced allergic asthma in mice.
Relationship of Rainfall Intensity with Slope Stability

Published: April 2023

The impact of rainfall on landslides is not an uncommon issue worldwide, including in Malaysia. It is a major challenge for geotechnical engineers to ensure the constructed slope is safe and can sustain longer periods of time, including during heavy rainfall. Kota Belud, Sabah, has been selected as the study area to meet the study objectives. Heavy rainfall has been recorded every year within Kota Belud, which has caused a repetition of landslide occurrences within the hilly areas, especially during the monsoon season. Presently, there is no local procedure for determining the rainfall intensity value for slope stability analysis. This study utilized the rainfall intensity value from Hydrology Procedure 26. Seepage analysis conducted shows rainwater infiltration has caused the groundwater level to increase from rainfall starts until 0.5 m below ground level and decrease after rainfall stops, creating fluctuations in the groundwater level during the wet and dry conditions within the wetting front. The factor of safety of the slope shows a decreasing trend, with a reduction of around 27 to 33% after 24 hours of rainfall in conjunction with the changes in groundwater level. However, the factor of safety increased by around 3% from the initial condition after 48 hours. The objective of this study is to identify the factor of safety of a rainfall-induced slope within Kota Belud utilizing the rainfall intensity design limits from Hydrology Procedure 26. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2023-09-06 Full Text: PDF

BULGARLAR VE İRAN TOPLUMSAL-KÜLTÜREL COĞRAFYASI: BİR BAĞLANTININ YENİDEN İNŞASI

Published: April 2023

Makale, 632-2021 yılları arasında Bulgarların İran toplumsal-kültürel coğrafyasıyla kurduğu bağlantıları bütünsel olarak inceleyen bilinen ilk sosyolojik çalışmadır. Amaç, Bulgarlar ve İran coğrafyası arasındaki tarihsel ve güncel ilişkileri Bulgarlar değişkenini merkezde tutarak incelemektir. Makalede Bulgarlar ifadesiyle, üç Bulgar topluluğuna atıf yapılmaktadır: Karadeniz Bulgarları (ilk Bulgar devleti), Avrupa Bulgarları (Bulgaristan) ve Asya Bulgarları (Tataristan). İran adı, uluslararası ilişkilerde resmi olarak 1935'ten beri kullanılmaktadır, ancak makalede kolay anlaşılırlığı sağlayabilmek amacıyla ülkenin önceki dönemlerine atıf yaparken de İran ifadesi eklenmektedir. Yöntem ve teknik, 2010-2021 yılları arasında Ukrayna, Bulgaristan, Rusya ve İran'da elde edilen birincil verilerin ve hem tarihsel hem güncel sürecin izlenmesinden elde edilen ikincil verilerin (arkeolojik veriler dâhil) tarihsel sosyoloji çerçevesinde çok katmanlı çözümlenmesinden oluşmaktadır. Ulaşılan beş temel sonuç şöyledir: 1. Karadeniz'in kuzeyinde 632 yılında kurulan ilk Bulgar devletinden günümüze kadar, Bulgarlar ve İran coğrafyası arasında belirli kesintilerle de olsa süreğen, giderek yoğunlaşan ve çoğunlukla alış-veriş ve dayanışma biçiminde bir etkileşim söz konusudur. İran'ın unsurlarından biri olan Fars kültürünün etkisi, üç Bulgar topluluğunda da öncelikle seçkinler arasında yayılmıştır. 2. Avrupa Bulgarları ve İran arasındaki ilişkiler, başlangıçta politik-askeri ilişkiler bağlamında başlamış olup, günümüzde ortak bir etnik köken ve ırk arayışına kadar varmaktadır. Bulgaristan'daki bu arayış, günümüzde Balkanlar'da İran'la kurulan en aşırı ilişkidir. 3. Asya Bulgarları ve İran arasındaki ilişkiler, başlangıçta ticari ilişkiler bağlamında başlamış olup, günümüzde kültürel ilişkiler bağlamında yoğunlaşmaktadır. 4. Bulgaristan'ın İran'daki hem iktidar hem muhalif çevrelerle ilişkisi, Tataristan'ın ise İran'daki iktidarla ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. 5. Yakın gelecekte Bulgaristan, Tataristan ve İran arasındaki ilişkiler, dış engel çıkmadığı takdirde ikili ilişkilerden üçlü ilişkiye de dönüşebilir.
SØREN AABYE KIERKEGAARD’UN “İMAN ŞÖVALYESİ” KAVRAMI BAĞLAMINDA İMANIN AHLÂKÎ OLANI AŞMASI FİKRİNE YÖNELİK BİR İNCELEME
Authors: BÜYÜKÖZKARA Ender
Published: April 2023

Kierkegaard’a göre iman, benin kendi olarak ve kendi olmayı isteyerek, saydamlık içinde Tanrı’da yer almasıdır. Tanrı ile böyle bir özel irtibatın kurulduğu iman durumunda günaha yer yoktur ve Kierkegaard günahın zıddının iman olduğunu belirtir. Diğer taraftan Kierkegaard’un iman tanımı iman hâlinde bireysel bir yaşantının vuku bulduğuna işaret eder. Ona göre iman evrensel olanla açıklanamayan, aklın kategorilerine sığmayan muhteşem bir paradokstur. İmanın paradoksal yapısının en iyi örneklerinden biri Hz. İbrahim’in oğlunu kurban etmekle emredilmesi durumudur. Oğlunu kurban etme girişimi evrensel bağlamında izah edilemeyecek, akılla anlaşılamayacak bir eylemdir. Bu bağlamda Hz. İbrahim imanın atası ve Kierkegaard’un “iman şövalyesi” tabiriyle adlandırdığı insan tipinin ideal örneği olarak görünmektedir. İman şövalyesi Tanrı’nın her şeye kadir olduğuna iman ederek ve saçmalığın inayetiyle hareket eder; onun konumunda beşerî güç, özgürlük veya cesaret bir işe yaramaz. Böyle bir şövalye ne bir şeyden feragat eder ne de acısını başka bir şeye yönlendirir. Mutlak teslimiyet şövalyesi ile trajik kahramandan farklı olan iman şövalyesinin durumunda, etik ve evrensellik teleolojik olarak askıya alınır. Tanrı ile bireysel türden bir ilişkiye sahip olan iman şövalyesi etikle, evrensellikle uzlaşamaz bir iman hareketi sergiler. Bu bağlamda Kierkegaard’a göre imanın etikten üstün olduğu görülmektedir. Kierkegaard’un bu akış açısı, Hz. İbrahim’in durumunun genele teşmilinin ve etik evrenselliğin geçerliliği yönünden kritik edilebilir.

The place concept has field structure. As in the semantic configuration, the nucleus of “space” is highlighted, and the remaining components can be interpreted as peripherals. The space concept can be distinguished by dative and ablative cases. The dative case in the Russian language assumed through prepositions. After the prepositions “k”, “po”, “blagodarya” the nouns show place meaning. The using of prepositions in ablative case semantically goes to the locative meanings and provides the use of these constructions in this language.

Os cuidados paliativos têm como meta a melhora da qualidade de vida de pacientes e de seus familiares que enfrentam condições clínicas graves que ameaçam a vida. Diante desse cenário, é importante destacar que a família representa uma rede de apoio fundamental para o alívio de sofrimento psicoemocional dos pacientes sob cuidados paliativos, uma vez que esse apoio familiar pode gerar sentimentos favoráveis aos pacientes, tais como o sentimento de pertencimento, de cuidado e de estima capazes de fazer com que o paciente possa lidar, de forma satisfatória, com situações estressantes.
Logo, objetiva-se realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura sobre os cuidados paliativos no âmbito domiciliar com foco no comportamento da família frente ao contexto de fim de vida. Para isso, optou-se por realizar uma revisão integrativa da literatura nas bases de dados LILACS, SciELO e BDENF. Foram incluídos estudos completos, gratuitos e disponíveis eletronicamente, publicados em português, no período de 2018 a 2022. A análise dos estudos selecionados ocorreu de forma descritiva, a fim de possibilitar a observância e a descrição dos dados por meio da análise de conteúdo.
A partir disso, construímos duas categorias temáticas para responder os objetivos propostos: Comportamento, sentimentos e atitudes dos familiares de pacientes em fim de vida no ambiente domiciliar e; Conhecimento e cuidados paliativos realizados pelos familiares de paciente em fim de vida no ambiente domiciliar. Entre os principais achados, destacamos que os familiares cuidadores sofrem com a condição de fim de vida de seu ente querido, e estão extremamente propensos aos sentimentos depreciativos, tais como impotência, angústia, tristeza e preocupação frente ao estado de saúde irreversível e a certeza de morte.
Outrossim, os cuidadores familiares apresentavam incertezas acerca da responsabilidade de cuidar de seus entes queridos em cuidados paliativos. Além disso, foi identificado que muitos cuidadores não se sentem seguros ou capacitados para cuidar de seus entes queridos em cuidados paliativos. Apesar disso, outras evidências expressam que é imprescindível o compromisso educacional e ético dos profissionais de saúde no que tange ensinar as técnicas de cuidado. Desse modo, é esperado que esta revisão contribua para o desenvolvimento de novos estudos, a fim de fomentar reflexões acerca do tema e cooperar para o processo educativo e para nortear a qualificação profissional e o desenvolvimento social.
