Food Inflation in Brazil in the Last Decade – Comparing Evolution Trends Before and During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: de Oliveira Jonatan Alexandre , Baccarin José Giacomo , Costa Eduarda Pires Valente Da Silva
Published: August 2024

The objective is to characterize food inflation in general and, particularly, the food items and agrifood chains, according to the level of exposure to foreign trade, degree of processing, and inflation indicators in nine metropolitan areas of Brazil between 2007 and 2022. Basically, the data used were surveyed by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics for the Broad Consumer Price Index (Índice de Preços ao Consumidor Amplo, IPCA). The study fully characterized the food inflation in Brazil between 2007 and 2022, which was aggravated during the Covid-19 pandemic. Food-at-home inflation was generalized among its household components. Items associated with animal protein tended to put the most pressure on food-at-home prices. Among the agrifood chains, the lowest price variations were observed in products with greater exposure to foreign trade. A greater price variation was observed for fresh or minimally processed food products compared to more processed food products. Among the nine cities studied, from all regions of Brazil, no major differences were found in the variations of food prices of all groups considered.

Objectives

Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS-1) deficiency is a rare urea cycle disorder with an estimated prevalence of one in 150,000–200,000 live births. Patients often present with hyperammonemia shortly after protein feeding in the early days of life, and early-onset type is associated with high mortality rate.

Case presentation

We present here a case of a newborn male with a history of two deceased siblings whose ammonium level exceeded 200 μmol/L on the first day after birth, and who was started on dextrose infusion and ammonia-scavenging therapy after oral feeding was discontinued. Peritoneal dialysis was initiated after the patient’s ammonia level exceeded 500 μmol/L. At the age of five months, the patient underwent hemodialysis due to elevated ammonia levels accompanied by lethargy. The patient’s ammonia levels were successfully brought under control, and the patient underwent a liver transplantation at the age of six month, donated by the father.

Conclusions

We present this case to emphasize the efficacy of liver transplantation from a parent carrying a CPS-1 deficiency. The authors believe that, with further support from future studies, the use of carglumic acid can improve the prognosis in the chronic management of CPS-1 deficiency.
Fourier spectral method for the fractional-in-space coupled Whitham–Broer–Kaup equations on unbounded domain
Authors: Zhao Li-Fang , Zhang Wei
Published: August 2024

Due to the nonlocality of fractional derivatives, the numerical methods for solving nonlinear fractional Whitham–Broer–Kaup (WBK) equations are time-consuming and tedious. Therefore, it is a research hotspot to explore the numerical solution of fractional-order WBK equation. The main goal of this study is to provide an efficient method for the fractional-in-space coupled WBK equations on unbounded domain and discover some novel anomalous transmission behaviors. First, the numerical solution is compared with the exact solution to determine the validity of the proposed method on large time-spatial domain. Then, anomalous transmission of waves propagation of the fractional WBK equation is numerically simulated, and the influence of different fractional-order derivatives on wave propagation of the WBK equation is researched. Some novel anomalous transmission behaviors of wave propagation of the fractional WBK equation on unbounded domain are shown.

Authors: Gonzaga Nunes Vanessa , Rilliard Albert , Christine Seara Izabel
Published: August 2024

Este trabalho visa contribuir para a descrição prosódico-entonacional de variedades dialetais do português brasileiro. Apresentamos diferenças e semelhanças encontradas entre interrogativas totais neutras referentes a quatro variedades dialetais catarinenses (Blumenau, Chapecó, Florianópolis e Lages). O corpus para gravação foi do Projeto AMPER-POR. Oito falantes produziram 33 sentenças declarativas neutras e 33 interrogativas totais neutras, repetidas três vezes. Embora as curvas de F0 se caracterizem por movimentos circunflexos em região nuclear, sentenças que terminam por palavras oxítonas tendem ao alinhamento centralizado, enquanto as que finalizam por palavras paroxítonas e proparoxítonas apresentam alinhamento mais à direita. No que concerne à discriminação das variedades dialetais, verificamos que os dados dos blumenauenses e florianopolitanos apresentam, para a região nuclear, movimentos de subida e descida estatisticamente menos proeminentes do que os dos chapecoenses e lageanos. Isso indica que há menor variação de F0 para o movimento de subida nas produções de blumenauenses e florianopolitanos quando comparadas às produções de chapecoenses e lageanos.

Wordsworth’s The Borderers, Early and Late
Authors: Cox Jeffrey N.
Published: August 2024

Jeffrey N. Cox, “Wordsworth’s The Borderers, Early and Late” (pp. 106–133)

William Wordsworth’s sole tragedy, while written in the late 1790s, did not appear until 1842, in his last volume of new poetry, Poems, Chiefly of Early and Late Years; including the Borderers, A Tragedy. In the back matter are two series of advertisements: one for the other six volumes in the newest edition of Wordsworth’s poetry and the other for his publisher Edward Moxon’s “Dramatic Library,” which includes volumes of plays by key playwrights from Shakespeare to Congreve, with the editors spanning the Romantic movement. One set of these print paratexts places Wordsworth’s play within his life’s work, but another group relates the play to the dramatic tradition from the early modern to the Romantic periods. While scholars have mainly been interested in The Borderers for what it tells us about Wordsworth’s intellectual and aesthetic development as a poet at its point of composition, this essay is more interested in thinking about it, first, in relation to the drama and theater of the 1790s and then, more briefly, as a cultural act in 1842, as Wordsworth seeks to define his place one more time on the literary scene. This essay explores The Borderers as an intervention in the theatrical world of the 1790s, particularly as Wordsworth responds to the contemporary melodrama, and as a bid late in his life to establish himself as a dramatic precursor to younger writers, particularly Byron.

Endometriosis: pathophysiology, market analysis, and research landscape
Authors: Bill Tawil , Eva Shlyakhovaya
Published: August 2024

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition affecting millions of women globally, significantly impacting their quality of life and reproductive health. Characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, this condition leads to inflammation, chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and compromised organ function. Despite its prevalence, there is no definitive cure for endometriosis, and current treatments primarily focus on managing symptoms and preserving fertility. Surgical interventions, such as laparoscopic excision, remain central to managing severe cases. The increasing incidence of endometriosis and the limitations of existing treatments have driven substantial research efforts toward more effective therapies, including personalized medicine approaches. The global endometriosis treatment market, valued at approximately USD 1.3 billion in 2022, is projected to reach USD 3.21 billion by 2030, driven by advancements in diagnostics and novel therapeutics.41,29,7 Key market players include AbbVie and Pfizer, with significant contributions from ongoing clinical trials exploring innovative treatments such as Bayer's P2X3 receptor antagonist. This review examines the pathophysiology of endometriosis, evaluates current therapeutic strategies, and highlights emerging research trends, providing a comprehensive perspective on the future of endometriosis management.

Authors: Vélez-Ruiz Jorge F , Hernández Teresa
Published: August 2024

Functional foods have become an important part of human diet, due to the contribution of these foods for health improving; being those products added with probiotics an example of functional foods. Whey is a by-product of cheese production considered as a waste, despite its protein content and nutritive value, whereas inulin has been recently used in food industry by adding it to foods in combination with certain probiotics, it is found naturally in the agave as part of dietary fiber. Then the objective of this research was to obtain a functional whey drink added with inulin and probiotic microorganisms. Therefore, different formulations of this beverage were obtained varying the content of inulin (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8% w/w) and the type of microorganism (Lactobacillus casei, L. plantarum and L. reuteri). Some properties and viability of microorganisms in the different systems were evaluated during 30 days of refrigerated storage, in which the physicochemical properties, flow parameters, and microbial stability were determined. Results showed that pH and acidity varied among different systems; pH values of whey beverages ranged between 4.75 and 6.18, decreasing with increasing of inulin content; in which there was a significant difference for initial pH. Acidity values ranged from 1.743 to 1.987 g/L, and also exhibiting significant difference. Soluble solids and moisture of beverages were stable through the storage period in contrast to acidity, color, pH, and flow properties. Whey beverages behaved as non-Newtonian fluids of pseudoplastic nature, better fitted by the Power Law equation, in which consistency increased with inulin content. All systems had the minimal level of BAL (lactic acid bacteria), and their growth was related to inulin content.
Specific Differences in AMELX and AMELY Genes from Sumatran Tigers, Panthera tigris sumatrae (Felidae), for Molecular Sex Identification
Authors: Asrori I. , Tjong D. H. , Novarino W. , Roesma D. I.
Published: August 2024

Sex determination by DNA-based molecular techniques in Sumatran tigers needs to be investigated and developed for forensic and population genetic purposes. The amelogenin gene is a marker commonly used for sex determination. In some species, the difference between the AMELX and AMELY sequences has been reported to be in the intron region. However, the difference between the AMELX and AMELY sequences in the Sumatran tiger is unknown. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the sequence differences in introns between AMELX and AMELY Sumatran tigers to determine the specific differences between male and female samples. This study aimed to analyse the sequence of nucleotide bases in the Sumatran tiger amelogenin gene introns based on the nucleotide base sequences in the amelogenin gene introns. The method in this research is descriptive, with a molecular observation of the AMELX and AMELY Sumatran tiger sequences. The amplified samples were sequenced, and it was found that the lengths of the AMELX and AMELY Sumatran tiger sequences were 215 bp and 194 bp, respectively, with a 21 bp deletion in the AMELY sequence.
Extracorporeal Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation: Life-saving or Resource Wasting?
Authors: Elliott Andrea M , van Diepen Sean , Hollenberg Steven M , Bernard Samuel
Published: August 2024

The morbidity and mortality for patients having a cardiac arrest is substantial. Even if optimally performed, conventional cardiopulmonary resuscitation is an inadequate substitute for native cardiac output and results in a ‘low-flow’ perfusion state. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during cardiac arrest, also known as extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (eCPR), has been proposed as an alternative to restore systemic perfusion. However, conflicting results regarding its efficacy compared to routine advanced cardiac life support have left its role in clinical practice uncertain. In this article, the merits and limitations of the existing data for eCPR are reviewed in a ‘point-counterpoint’ style debate, followed by potential considerations for future trials.

LEADERSHIP AND PUBLIC SERVICE: ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF VILLAGE HEADS IN RURAL GOVERNANCE
Authors: Saragih Jopinus
Published: August 2024

This study examines the role of village head leadership in the delivery of public services in villages within the Siwalungun Regency, North Sumatra. Utilizing a qualitative approach and a case study design, the research explores the dynamic and multifaceted responsibilities of village heads, including their influence on public administration, healthcare, education, and infrastructure development. The findings reveal that effective leadership by village heads significantly enhances the quality of public services and increases community satisfaction. Village heads who demonstrate proactive and responsive leadership, act as facilitators and mediators, and initiate programs such as “Healthy Village” can address public needs efficiently. However, village heads face numerous challenges, including limited resources, both in terms of budget and human resources, as well as inadequate infrastructure. Social and political dynamics further complicate their leadership roles, often requiring them to mediate conflicting interests and navigate political pressures. Despite these challenges, village heads who adopt adaptive and innovative strategies, and collaborate effectively with various stakeholders, are more successful in overcoming these obstacles. This study underscores the crucial role of village head leadership in improving public service delivery and fostering community development. The study recommends capacity-building initiatives for village heads through training and mentoring, and the formulation of policies that support their leadership in enhancing public services and community welfare. The insights gained from this study contribute to better governance at the village level and highlight the importance of strong leadership for sustainable and equitable development.
Narasi Kiamat dan Kebuntuan Kapitalisme: Refleksi Kritis atas Kajian Apokaliptik Mark Fisher
Authors: Ziaul Haq Mochamad , Sugiharto Ignasius Bambang , Purwadi Yohanes Slamet
Published: August 2024

Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi konsep kiamat dalam kompleksitas dan ambiguitasnya. Di satu pihak, mengikuti perspektif Mark Fisher, kiamat dilihat berkaitan erat dengan kondisi eksternal, khususnya percaturan ideologis antara kapitalisme dan sosialisme. Di pihak lain kiamat juga dilihat dari perspektif internal, yakni dari sistem naratif yang diyakini menjadi sikap mental-spiritual. Peneliti menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, dengan teknik pengumpulan data studi literatur. Sumber utama yang digunakan adalah teks dari Mark Fisher, yang kemudian ditanggapi berdasarkan perspektif Filsafat Perennial, Psikiatri maupun Neuroscience. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa wacana tentang kiamat memang bisa dilihat sebagai gejala kecemasan dan ketidakpastian yang berkaitan erat dengan krisis kapitalisme, tapi yang lebih mendasar adalah sebagai akibat prevalensi sikap mental-spiritual negatif manusia sendiri. Pada akhirnya kiamat akan lebih baik bila dilihat sebagai peluang transformasi kesadaran kolektif ke arah nilai-nilai yang lebih positif
Integrating Faith and Tradition: The Baralek Tuanku Ceremony in Minangkabau
Authors: Sefriyono Sefriyono , Ashadi Andri , Zulfis Zulfis
Published: August 2024

This study explores the acculturation process between Islam and Minangkabau customs, focusing on the traditional Baralek Tuanku ceremony. Fieldwork was conducted at Pesantren Nurul Yakin in Padang Pariaman, employing qualitative research methods, including observations, interviews, and participation in ceremonies. Data were analysed using thematic and narrative analysis. The study reveals that the acculturation of Islam and Minangkabau customs through Baralek Tuanku occurs in two forms: First, before the conferment of the Tuanku title, where Minangkabau values are institutionalised in the education of the students, particularly through teaching rundiang. Second, during the conferment process, where two elements of Minangkabau customs are involved: niniak mamak (customary leaders) who bestow the customary heirloom title alongside the Tuanku title, and bako (father’s sister) who prepares traditional food for the pesantren teachers. These pesantren inherit the values of the Syattariyah Order, particularly those related to maintaining the harmony between Islam and local culture, as the pesantren are managed by figures from this tarekat. This study offers a conceptual framework for understanding how dual identities can be harmoniously integrated within a community. It enriches the theoretical discourse on acculturation by providing a successful example of cultural and religious amalgamation.

A quantitative research design was used to answer these objectives. A total of 78 tourists were actively involved in this research, and they were visitors who made repeat visits, with the characteristic respondents being those who had visited at least two times or were making their 2nd visit to Ngilngof Tourism Village. A purposive sampling technique was used to select research respondents. Multiple regression data analysis with the help of SPSS was used to see the influence of the independent variable on the dependent. The research results show that both partially and simultaneously, the variables of tourist facilities, tourist attractions, and visitor satisfaction have a positive and significant effect (p<.05) on interest in repeat visits. Not only that, the contribution of these three variables reached 79.3%, which shows a huge influence on the dependent variable. The results of this research provide great benefits regarding the factors that must be maintained and improved by the managers of the Ngilngof Tourism Village so that tourist visits to their location will be even better.
La paradoja de las TIC como mecanismo de inclusión en la educación superior
Authors: Landinez- Fonseca Natalia , Mariño-Jiménez Juan Pablo
Published: August 2024

El presente artículo analiza la manera en que las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC), siendo herramientas creadas para el desarrollo de una educación incluyente, resultan excluyendo de manera recurrente a las personas y comunidades más vulnerables que adolecen de los recursos necesarios para acercarse al conocimiento. Siendo una realidad poco tratada, rememora el desafío que representó para las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) mantenerse funcionales ante una pandemia en donde hubo la necesidad atropellada de migrar todo proceso de enseñanza hacia la implementación de mediaciones tecnológicas para poder sobrellevar las implicaciones de tan inusual contingencia. Enfatiza en la importancia que tiene tanto para estudiantes como para cuerpos profesorales, desenvolverse en entornos digitales dentro de espacios académicos mayoritariamente presenciales, dado que las mediaciones tecnológicas  potencializan los procesos de enseñanza-aprendizaje, siempre que se mantenga claro, que la inclusión no solo implica garantizar un cupo para quien lo desee sin importar sus necesidades educativas especiales, sino garantizar acceso a la educación pese a sus dificultades económicas, geográficas, o tecnológicas.
Formar en la autorregulación del aprendizaje para una vida social sana
Authors: Mora-Benavides Edgar Julián , Mur-Bihuchy Yady Eliana , Fernández-Guayana Tany Giselle
Published: August 2024

El proceso de la autorregulación entendida como la capacidad de controlar los pensamientos, acciones, emociones y motivación para alcanzar las metas propuestas, no sólo es indispensable para el aprendizaje, sino que conlleva una serie de procesos que influyen en la calidad de las interacciones humanas y de una vida social sana. En ese sentido, este ensayo tiene como objetivo profundizar la importancia de la autorregulación del aprendizaje en el contexto de las relaciones sociales a partir de la educación, así como proponer estrategias de aula que faciliten su desarrollo. Para ello, metodológicamente se realiza una discusión teórica que permite defender o rebatir la tesis propuesta. En la reflexión se encuentra que la autorregulación del aprendizaje comprende procesos cognitivos, motivacionales, emocionales y afectivos que regulan tanto en el pensamiento como el comportamiento, incidiendo en la calidad de las relaciones interpersonales. Se concluye que el éxito de un adulto hoy, no sólo se debe a sus competencias, conocimientos y experiencias, sino también de su capacidad autorreguladora en función de los propósitos, tareas o metas que establece para el cumplimiento de sus proyectos personales y actividades laborales. Es así como surge la necesidad de ampliar las funciones de la autorregulación del aprendizaje y brindar herramientas pedagógicas que faciliten su desarrollo desde el hogar y la escuela.
Designing Income Taxation to Reduce Income Inequality in Russia: A Modeling Approach
Authors:   Yaroslavl State University, Yaroslavl, Russian Federation, Pugachev A. A.
Published: August 2024

This study explores the possibility of adjusting income tax parameters to achieve a specific level of income inequality in Russia. The hypothesis is that by altering the personal income tax design, it is possible to reduce income inequality to a specified level, as measured by the Gini coefficient. Key parameters include the maximum progressive tax rate, the lower income threshold for increased rates, and the tax-free allowance (either differentiated or universal). To test this hypothesis, I modeled income inequality reduction using the Gini coefficient. The procedure involved optimizing income distribution across decile groups and applying the Gini coefficient expression, which calculates the accumulated shares of decile groups in income distribution. The results are graphically represented using the Lorenz curve. Calculations were performed using the “Data Analysis” package in MS Excel with data from the Federal State Statistics Service and the Federal Tax Service of Russia. The study demonstrates, both theoretically and empirically, that it is possible to design a personal income tax system to reduce income inequality to a predetermined level, as measured by the Gini coefficient. Four personal income tax designs are described, aiming to reduce inequality to a Gini coefficient of 0.38. The findings suggest that to reduce inequality, it is advisable to introduce a tax-free allowance for the 1–6 decile groups (incomes not exceeding three times the minimum wage) equal to the minimum wage, and to increase the maximum progressive tax rate for very high incomes. For example, incomes exceeding 100 million rubles per year, which apply to 28.75 thousand taxpayers or 0.035% of the population, should be taxed at a rate of 35%. The most viable option is to set a 35% tax rate for incomes exceeding 100 million rubles per year, along with introducing a tax-free allowance. This approach could allow the government to accumulate up to 395 billion rubles annually in the budget.

RESUMO Introdução: A simulação médica emerge como uma metodologia crucial, permitindo que profissionais experimentem uma variedade de cenários, tanto de êxito quanto de falha, identificando fragilidades e condições inseguras, com o intuito de evitar danos aos pacientes. Assim, o objetivo desse estudo é descrever a produção de um modelo de simulação em apendicectomia videolaparoscópica “ex-vivo”. Metodologia: Foram utilizadas estruturas de cerâmica fria para moldar manualmente o modelo anatômico do apêndice, garantindo sua rigidez. Neste modelo, utilizou-se materiais para criar um molde flexível usando silicone acético. Feito o molde, o preencheu-se com borracha de polímero de estireno termomoldável, junto com corante, e fundindo em uma temperatura específica. Resultados: Esse processo resultou na confecção de uma peça que simula o apêndice, sendo resistente ao rasgo e suturável, replicando fielmente a estrutura e características de um órgão humano. O baixo peso dos materiais facilita o transporte, permitindo que sejam reproduzidos e utilizados em diversas situações, desde treinamentos em ambientes hospitalares até universidades. O modelo é aplicável em simulações didáticas com estudantes de medicina, residentes e cirurgiões. Sua facilidade de produção e baixo custo contribuem para que as práticas sejam repetíveis, garantindo um melhor desenvolvimento das habilidades cirúrgicas. Conclusão: O trabalho contribui para o avanço da simulação médica e destaca a importância de soluções inovadoras e colaborativas na melhoria da educação médica e na promoção da segurança do paciente.

Iniciamos com a conceituação dos quilombos contemporâneos e seus desdobramentos para a investigação das religiões em quilombos, mapeando, em seguida, alguns desafios implicados na crescente expansão dos evangélicos nessas comunidades. Ao final, problematizamos a questão da “autenticidade” das identidades religiosas legítimas na construção da etnicidade quilombola, bem como nossa posição de pesquisadores-parceiros nessa controvérsia.
Quando a política afeta a religião: como o posicionamento ideológico-partidário se relaciona com o comportamento religioso dos brasileiros
Authors: Santana Jenifer
Published: August 2024

Resumo: Pesquisas recentes sobre o eleitorado estadunidense atestaram que o posicionamento ideológico-partidário dos indivíduos tem moldado seus comportamentos religiosos. A explicação passa pela noção da identidade religiosa como endógena aprocesso político. A discussão sobre religião no Brasil, por outro lado, concentra grandes esforços na abordagem tradicional, analisando se e como a identidade religiosa dos brasileiros afeta seus comportamentos políticos e não o inverso. Utilizando dados do World Values Survey [WVS] (1990-2014) e testes estatísticos, esse artigo mapeou a relação entre política e religião no Brasil, buscando compreender como ao longo do tempo as categorias de ideologia e partidarismo se relacionam com as três facetas da Religião: Belonging(Pertencimento), Believing(Crença) e Behaving(Comportamento).
Street Harassment: A Conceptual Analysis Through Social Psychology

Published: August 2024

Abstract This work aimed to carry out a literature review on Street Harassment, to defend the use of this term and propose its definition, while considering its limits, possibilities, and understanding through Social Psychology. A narrative review of the literature was performed, with non-systematic searches of national and international scientific productions that addressed street harassment. It was noted that there was no consensus in the literature regarding a universal term to name it. We emphasize that it is crucial to define a term and propose an inclusive definition for a phenomenon that is violent towards women, to properly frame the concept, and to promote scientific analyses and public policies that can confront this violence.

Abstract Persistent sciatic artery is a rare congenital anomaly, with few cases described in the literature. This study presents a case of this embryological variation observed in a patient’s lower limb circulatory system. The anatomical description is based on a review of medical records and imaging exams. This case report describes a 63-year-old female patient admitted to the emergency department complaining of severe pain in the right lower limb, with a cold, pale extremity and ecchymosis on the dorsum of the foot. Duplex ultrasound showed no detectable flow in the anterior tibial and fibular arteries and a tardus parvus pattern in the posterior tibial artery. The patient developed loss of movement and fixed cyanosis in the right foot and was referred for urgent thromboembolectomy. However, adequate reperfusion was not seen after the procedure. Angiotomography was performed on the first postoperative day, showing bilateral persistence of the sciatic artery, with aneurysmal degeneration, partially thrombosed, and no opacification of the arterial system downstream of the aneurysm. By the third postoperative day, the patient had developed areas of dry necrosis in the limb, with no perfusion to the ankle, and underwent transfemoral amputation. Despite being a rare condition, it is of great clinical importance because of the high complication rates.

RESUMO Introdução: O aumento global da alimentação não saudável está intimamente ligado a uma tendência de redução na preparação da comida feita em casa. Já existem estudos que mostram uma associação positiva entre o aumento das habilidades culinárias e a redução de risco cardiovascular. Somado a isso, o baixo tempo destinado à educação nutricional no currículo das faculdades de Medicina contrasta com as altas taxas de mortalidade atribuíveis à má alimentação. A medicina culinária (MC) é um campo emergente da medicina, que traz uma nova abordagem educacional, baseada em evidências científicas, cujo objetivo é ensinar o poder que a comida tem sobre a saúde e melhorar os comportamentos alimentares dos profissionais de saúde e, consequentemente, de seus pacientes. Relato da experiência: Desenvolveu-se uma disciplina eletiva de MC na Escola Paulista de Medicina da Universidade Federal de São Paulo (Unifesp) que resultou em um relato de experiência, com abordagem qualitativa, realizado com 18 alunos que participaram de encontros semanais durante cinco semanas de forma 100% online, por meio da plataforma Zoom. Os dados deste estudo foram coletados por meio de portfólios, em que cada estudante descreveu sua experiência com o curso. A avaliação do material foi feita por meio de análise temática. Aplicou-se um questionário que avaliou o Índice de Habilidades Culinárias, desenvolvido e validado segundo a autoeficácia no desempenho das habilidades culinárias e tendo como referencial teórico o Guia alimentar para a população brasileira. Discussão: Existem inúmeros desafios, como a conscientização dos médicos sobre a importância desse assunto, que muitas vezes parece ser mais prático do que técnico, e a subjetividade do tema sobre mudança de comportamento de médicos e pacientes. No entanto, os resultados deste estudo evidenciam que os alunos que realizaram a eletiva acreditam que essa reformulação curricular é extremamente importante e urgente. Conclusão: Observa-se uma tendência mundial de transformação da grade curricular dos profissionais da saúde, e acredita-se que esse processo pode ser iniciado nas faculdades de Medicina por meio de disciplinas eletivas de MC como a que foi implementada na Escola Paulista de Medicina da Unifesp.
Como estamos avaliando competências? Projeto de intervenção nos instrumentos avaliativos de um programa de residência medicina intensiva

RESUMO Introdução: O ensino baseado em competências no âmbito das residências médicas tornou evidente o descompasso dos processos de avaliação tradicionais com os objetivos educacionais dos projetos pedagógicos alinhados às matrizes de competências de cada especialidade. A matriz de competência para o Programa de Residência em Medicina Intensiva (acesso direto em três anos) foi aprovada em 2021. O objetivo deste artigo é descrever o relato de experiência de um projeto de intervenção nos instrumentos de avaliação de desempenho dos residentes no Programa em Residência em Medicina Intensiva de um hospital público universitário em São Luís, no Maranhão. Relato de experiência: Após a organização do grupo de estudo e de trabalho para a intervenção, houve a escolha do objeto “ferramentas de avaliação de competências” e a seleção do Programa de Residência de Medicina Intensiva. Inicialmente, foi aplicado um questionário a todos os médicos preceptores e residentes, com atuação no cenário da unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI), com o objetivo de aferir as percepções deles acerca do instrumento avaliativo vigente, seguindo a pergunta norteadora: “A avaliação atual atende à concepção do programa traduzido pela matriz de competência da Comissão Nacional de Residência Médica?”. Discussão: Embora a maioria dos preceptores e residentes tenha considerado que os métodos de avaliação atendiam à concepção do programa, havia pontos frágeis em relação ao feedback e à avaliação de desempenho dos residentes. Como intervenção, propusemos adaptação da ferramenta existente, adequando-a aos desempenhos previstos na matriz de competências da especialidade com formalização do feedback e introdução de avaliação de desempenho em cenário real utilizando o Miniexercício Clínico Avaliativo (Mini-Cex). Conclusão: Os limites entre a avaliação e a aprendizagem são tênues. Com base em indicadores sobre a percepção de preceptores e residentes de fragilidades na avaliação utilizada de longa data, foi proposta uma intervenção de modificação dos instrumentos avaliativos com o intuito de adequar/melhorar a avaliação de competências.
The “new normal” of the Chinese economy
Authors: Medeiros Carlos Aguiar de , Gouveia Esther Majerowicz
Published: August 2024

Abstract We examine the drivers of China’s recent economic growth slowdown considering a demand-led growth perspective and the structural changes over the last decades. We argue that such a slowdown corresponds in part to a desired trajectory towards a growth pattern based on a greater protagonism of domestic consumption and a more balanced economy focused on innovation. This change referred to as the “new normal” responded to external and internal structural trends and distributive and institutional conflicts that, after 2008, reduced the low wage growth path and generated high real estate speculative investments. We argue that the new normal will possibly lead to a moderate growth rate for China’s historical experience, but higher than that of the OECD, and possibly more socially and environmentally balanced than previously.
Does Article 4(1)(a) of the Marrakesh Treaty Require Limitation to Adaptation Rights? Blind SA v Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition (CCT 320/21) [2022] ZACC 33 (21 September 2022)
Authors: Forere Malebakeng
Published: August 2024

Central to this contribution is Article 4(1)(a) of the Marrakesh Treaty, which the Constitutional Court used to limit the exclusive right of adaptation of copyright owners in the case of Blind SA v The Minister of Trade, Industry and Competition. This contribution finds that while states can add other limitations in their national laws beyond Article 4(1)(a), they can do so relying on Articles 4.3 and 12 of the Marrakesh Treaty while observing the three-step test and their other international obligations. It is, therefore, recommended for our courts to provide clear guidance on normative development, which can, in turn, assist the legislature in its troubled path to domesticate the Marrakesh Treaty ahead of the planned ratification.
