Published: March 2022

We evaluated band planting (BP) to assess its efficiency in the early restoring of ecological processes using a multi-criteria protocol known as Framework for the Evaluation of Natural Resource Management Systems Incorporating Sustainability Indicators (MESMIS) to obtain the ecological functionality consolidation index (EFCI). We sampled a 4.3 ha-1 plantation, aged 3 years, with BP, 1.5-m space between bands, 2-m space between seedlings, and a 3.5-m band of natural regeneration, ten areas with conventional planting (CP), aged 5 years, in the coverage and diversity models, and ten areas restored by natural regeneration (NR), aged 4 years. Sampling was carried out in 36 10 m x 10 m blocks, totaling 144 plots, 15 blocks for BP, 11 blocks for CP, and 10 blocks for NR. Species richness was similar between the areas; however, there was a significant difference between BP and the other areas (CP and NR) by the Dunn’s test (p < 0.05). The NR area had the highest diversity (H’ = 3.03; J’ = 0.76), followed by BP (H’ = 2.56; J’ = 0.62), and CP (H’ = 2.0; J’ = 0.48), whereas the BP area (4.348 ind.ha-1) had the highest density. The BP had the highest EFCI for diversity (0.100), control, and management (0.067) compared to NR, for diversity (0.022), and similar to CP in soil protection and nutrient cycling (0.047). BP was efficient in recovering early ecological processes under conditions similar to fragments in the initial stage of succession.

Published: March 2022

Background: Diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disease that produces high blood sugar levels. Duration of study: February 2019 to April 2021 Place of study: Arif Memorial Hospital , Galwera village, Kasur road Lahore Method & Result: 50 Pakistani T2DM individuals were investigated. Insulin, insulin resistance (IR), and insulin sensitivity were the glycemic control measures (IS). Renal function tests looked at urea and creatinine. TAC and ROS were oxidative stress indicators (ROS). T2DM patients exhibited greater fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, insulin, and IR than non-T2DM controls. Pseudo-insulin sensitivity reduced in patients (p˂.01). Urea and creatinine levels climbed somewhat in T2DM patients. TAC increased in patients over controls (P˂.05). Less than 2% of T2DM patients had elevated ROS (P˂.02). TAC and fasting blood glucose exhibit a positive (P˂.02) relationship. Fasting blood glucose and IS have a substantial negative relationship (P0.01). HbA1C correlates with IR, creatinine, and TAC but not with ROS (P˂.01). HbA1C and IS had a strong (P0.01) negative relationship. Diabetes mellitus is associated with insulin resistance (IR). Significant IS, creatinine, and ROS interactions (P˂.01). IS and urea are antithetical (P˂.05). Urea and creatinine have a strong (P˂.01) connection. TAC is anti-ROS (P˂.05). Conclusion: Glycemic instability in diabetic’s More than persistent hyperglycemia, blood glucose fluctuations may cause oxidative damage. The strong positive connection between fasting blood glucose and the other investigated measures shows that hyperglycemia is an independent risk factor for T2DM development. Keywords: Glycemic control, fasting blood glucose, urea, creatinine, total antioxidant capacity, reactive oxygen species.

Terlepas dari sumber daya keuangan, perencanaan yang signifikan diperlukan untuk mengembangkan masjid secara swakelola. Akibatnya, pembangunan masjid swakelola bisa memakan waktu yang cukup lama karena kendala teknis (selain masalah biaya), dan beberapa proyek masjid bahkan menghentikan pembangunannya di tengah jalan karena tidak mempertimbangkan arsitektur, structural atau masalah anggaran. Kemungkinan konsekuensi berikutnya adalah kegagalan bangunan (runtuh, miring, dll) sebagai akibat dari kesalahan dalam desain teknik konstruksinya. Mempertimbangkan masalah-masalah tersebut di atas, sangat penting untuk memberikan bantuan dari spesialis bangunan berpengalaman yang memiliki dasar yang kuat dalam pengetahuan konstruksi. Pada saat pengukuran lapangan, pengurus RT, RW dan ketua kelompok mengundang para peserta untuk mengikuti pemaparan tentang pemahaman langkah-langka yang akan dilakukan dalam perencanaan ini. Sosialisasi dan pelatihan dilakukan secara bersama-sama oleh tim PkM kepada masyarakat, Hasil dari perencanaan ini diharapkan pemerintah kecamatan dapat bekerjasama dengan Fakultas Teknik UM Buton dalam inisiatif sosialisasi dan pelatihan untuk meningkatkan kinerja Pemerintah Desa Molona.

Published: March 2022

Para alguns professores o ensino de ciências torna-se difícil pelo conteúdo, popularmente, conhecido como complexo. O uso de novos recursos na sala de aula pode estar auxiliando no processo de ensino-aprendizagem do aluno. As histórias em quadrinhos cumprem uma boa parte dessa função e estiveram presentes em importantes momentos históricos, auxiliando na interação e compreensão dos povos. Assim o presente trabalho tem como objetivo expor como o uso dos novos recursos dentro da sala de aula pode auxiliar no processor de ensino aprendizagem, desmistificando a visão de que tais recursos podem dispersar atenção do educando e mostrar que a escola pode auxiliar nesse processo. Dessa forma esse trabalho tem por embasamento teórico os estudos de Ianesco (2017), Camargo e Revelini (2017), Otto (2020, entre outros. Podemos perceber que os alunos se apropriam de maneira mais significativa dos conteúdos trabalhados com uso desses recursos exatamente pelo seu lado mais lúdico, que desperta a curiosidade do aluno e prende sua atenção, mostrando que a escola através de adequação de material, espaço e ofertas de formações que auxiliem o professor a entender tais recursos, pode ter grande influência nesse processo.
On the Application of Assumption of Risk Regulations in China
Authors: Chen Lingling , Zhu Ting
Published: March 2022

The assumption of risk regulations is a new defense of exemption in the civil code in China. By analyzing the civil judgment documents related to the assumption of risk after the implementation of the civil code, it is found that the court has different understanding of the recreational and sports activities with certain risks, there are differences in the judgment of the participant's cognitive activity risk, and there are disputes over the determination of the offender's no intention or gross negligence, which destroys the unity of judicial application. Therefore, it is advisable to unify the limited contents of recreational and sports activities with certain risks, identify the judgment factors of the participant's cognitive activity risk, and criteria for determining that the participant has no intention or gross negligence, so as to promote the unity of judicial judgment.

Background: The process of weaning from mechanical ventilation is crucial. Less demanding spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) can be done by either automatic tube compensation (ATC) or pressure support ventilation (PSV) to decrease inspiratory effort by endotracheal tube resistance compensation. This study aimed to assess the patient’s effort, by diaphragm ultrasonography with ATC compared to PSV during SBT.

Methods: Patients who have been on mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours and meet the weaning requirements are given 30 minutes for ATC and 30 minutes for PSV in this randomized control experiment. The diaphragm workload difference, as assessed by diaphragm thickness fraction, was the primary outcome. The sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound-measured diaphragmatic muscle activity measures in predicting ventilator weaning and effective extubation were secondary outcomes.

Hypothesis: Intubated patients should be (1) weaning with lower effort SBT mode (2) predicted weaning success with more accurately parameters

Ethics and dissemination: Ramathibodi Human Research Ethics Committee has approved the trial. The findings plan to summitted in peer-reviewed publications and conferences in critical care medicine or anesthesiology.

Authors: Souza Carla Delgado de , Oliveira Maurício Ferreira
Published: March 2022

Este artigo tem como objetivo propor uma análise da fotoperformance “BanqueteComidaCorpoCorpoComida”, desenvolvida pelo coletivo Fotocuir, grupo formado como parte do projeto de pesquisa Fotoperformance: Ação, Criação, Arte, Ativismo, Trânsitos Coletivos Contemporâneos entre os anos 2013-2016, na Universidade Estadual de Londrina, sob a coordenação da artista visual e performer Fernanda Magalhães. Com o objetivo de questionar padrões de comensalidade e sexualidade por meio da arte, o coletivo pensou e performou um banquete, no qual as pessoas (artistas e público) vestiam-se de comida e devoravam-se, de acordo com as preferências sexuais e alimentares de cada um. No artigo, o processo de construção dessa performance é exposto, com base nos relatos de Fernanda Magalhães e de outras participantes do coletivo. A análise é realizada tendo como base algumas discussões sobre estudos e arte queer, assim como ancora-se em reflexões dos estudos de performance e antropologia da arte.
Apresentação do dossiê: policiamento de manifestações
Authors: Comparato Bruno Konder , Topping John
Published: March 2022

O policiamento das manifestações é uma atividade crucial que revela muito sobre a qualidade da democracia em uma dada sociedade. Além de apresentar os artigos que compõem o dossiê este artigo contribui com a experiência acumulada da Irlanda do Norte para lidar com manifestações. O Brasil e a Irlanda do Norte constituem-se em sociedades divididas nas quais a polícia é corresponsável pelos conflitos e enfrenta problemas sérios de legitimidade, pelo menos para os grupos vulneráveis. As lições da Irlanda do Norte apontam para o fato de que o entendimento mútuo entre a polícia e os manifestantes é vital para limitar o potencial para que incidentes e eventos de ordem pública se tornem incontroláveis.
Dinâmicas do controle à ação coletiva: o policiamento a protestos no Rio Grande Do Sul (1970-2015)
Authors: Fernandes Eduardo Georjão , Silva Camila Farias da
Published: March 2022

A pesquisa se insere no debate sobre movimentos sociais e Estado, com foco em como as instituições estatais controlam a ação dos ativistas. A partir dos aportes da literatura internacional sobre policiamento a protestos, busca realizar o mapeamento longitudinal de padrões e variações do policiamento a protestos no estado do Rio Grande do Sul no período de 1970 a 2015. Com base nos dados do projeto “Regimes e Repertórios Associativos: oportunidades políticas e organização social no Brasil”, realizamos a análise dos eventos de protesto ocorridos no estado do Rio Grande do Sul entre 1970 e 2015 a partir de dois eixos norteadores: seletividade do repertório policial quanto a atores e reivindicações; interações táticas entre manifestantes e forças policiais. Os resultados indicam a predominância de táticas de repressão física, pouco tolerantes à demonstração pública de demandas coletivas, com protagonismo das Polícias Militares; a concentração da ação policial sobre reivindicações e grupos mais “ameaçadores” às elites políticas; a tendência de que táticas da ação coletiva disruptivas sejam mais duramente policiadas.
Atribuindo riscos e criminalizando pobres e não-brancos: a determinação de fatores de risco em 24 ferramentas atuariais do sistema de justiça criminal dos EUA
Authors: Passos Iara Cunha
Published: March 2022

Nos EUA, a partir da década de 1920, ferramentas atuariais passaram a ser usadas na avaliação dos pedidos de liberdade condicional, a fim de prever ou estimar a possível reincidência dos requerentes. Desde então, têm sido utilizadas para melhor administrar a população sob controle correcional, calculando o risco de reincidência ou de não comparecimento à Justiça, a partir de fatores como antecedentes criminais, idade, estado civil, sexo e comportamento, com base em teorias criminológicas e técnicas de machine learning. Essas ferramentas são baseadas na aplicação de formulários e a escolha de suas questões influencia a definição dos fatores de risco. Atualmente, existem mais de 400 ferramentas em uso nas diferentes fases do sistema de justiça criminal dos EUA, entre jurisdições estaduais, nacional e de condados, principalmente após o aumento das críticas ao sistema de fiança e aos vieses dos operadores da justiça criminal. Este artigo analisa questionários de 24 ferramentas utilizadas por jurisdições dos EUA. Os principais resultados são que as ferramentas se concentram em um tipo específico de suspeito – pobres e negros – desde a sua concepção, ainda que as empresas e agências governamentais argumentem que elas sejam neutras e objetivas.

Cirrhosis is a liver injury, which leads to portal hypertension, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, and end-stage liver disease. The study aimed to explore how much students know about liver cirrhosis and its complexity. The crosssectional study was conducted on university students in the year 2020. A selfstructured questionnaire was used in this study. It was divided into three portions, i.e., knowledge-related questions, belief-related questions and practice-related questions. Fifty-eight studentsparticipated in this study. 34.3% of students knew about the term cirrhosis, 55.2% knew about the causes of cirrhosis, 7.1% were not aware of its complications, 62.1% of students knew that dysphagia is the leading cause of malnutrition in cirrhosis, and 44.8% knew that hepatic encephalopathy leads to coma. Additionally, 46.6% believed that end-stage liver disease and cirrhosis are the same, and 77.6% believed that jaundice leads to liver disease. Furthermore, 36.2% had previously participated in a nutrition education program related to hepatic diseases, and 24.1% recommended Child-Pugh score to cirrhotic patients to assess liver function. Conclusively, some students had necessary information on liver cirrhosis, whereas some did not know about it. Moreover, the practices of the students were not according to the knowledge they had. As a health professional, the students who do not know cirrhosis well will inefficiently deal with the patients suffering from cirrhosis.

Authors: Yang Jun , Wang Kefang
Published: March 2022

Background: Emphysematous cystitis (EC) is a rare urinary tract infection (UTI) with nonspecific clinical manifestations. Most cases are found in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Early diagnosis and treatment are important for the prognosis. Objective: The purpose of our study is to analyze the features of patients with EC for the epidemiology, microbiology, clinical symptoms, imaging examination, treatment, prognosis, and prevention. Materials and Methods: We summarized the clinical data of 13 patients with EC for medical history, laboratory and radiological examinations, treatments, and results. We analyzed the reported risk factors to determine whether these factors were related to the failure of conservative treatment. Results: All but one of the patients were women, and all but one had DM. All patients were diagnosed using computed tomography (CT). Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (K. pneumoniae) were the two major microbes identified in our series, accounting for 69.3%. Twelve (92.3%) patients received conservative management, and one underwent partial cystectomy. All the patients recovered and no death was recorded. Conclusion: EC is a gas-forming UTI common in women with DM. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are required to prevent surgical intervention.
