Authors: Thasni M  , Jithesh M  , Brinu J A
Published: May 2022

Depressive disorders are highly prevalent mental disorders characterized by sadness, loss of interest or pleasure, feelings of guilt or low self-esteem, disturbed sleep or appetite, feelings of tiredness and poor concentration. About 300 million people are estimated to suffer from depression at a global level and in India the figures approximate to about 45.7 million. As per WHO, depression will be the leading cause of burden of disease by 2030 and the prevalence, incidence, and the morbidity risk of depression appears to be more in females than males.

A 42-year-old lady presented with primary concerns of increased thoughts, decreased sleep, discomfort in stomach, abdominal distension, increased fatigue, decreased appetite and increased tension. Detailed interview with her husband and parents revealed that she had increased thoughts, slowness in performing activities, inability to do day to day works, reduced memory and concentration, increased anger towards her husband, mother and daughter, reluctance to have food and reduced social mingling. Based on the observations made in the level of affective and behavioural domains, diagnosis of depressive disorder - current episode moderate was eventually done as per the diagnostic criteria mentioned in International Classification of Disease 10.

In Ayurveda, the condition was diagnosed as Kaphaja Unmada based on the typical symptoms. The treatment protocol including Snehapana, Vamana, Virechana and Vasthi was administered. The mental status of the patient was also addressed during the treatment period and Satvavajaya measures including individual and family counseling methods were administered. There was significant improvement in the Becks Depression Inventory score and Q – LES – Q – SF questionnaire after the intervention.
Ayurvedic Management of Cholelithiasis - A Case Study
Authors: Sowmya.H  , Sreenidhi G S  , Pooja.B A
Published: May 2022

Cholelithiasis (gallstone formation) is a common Gastrointestinal disorder. The disease Cholelithiasis has not been described directly in Ayurvedic classics. The word Ashmari is described only in the context of Ashmari (urinary calculi). Surgery is the most common form of treatment for gall stones, however the fact that surgically removing gallstones requires the removal of an entire organ has led to a growing interest in non-surgical treatment. But so far as the medical management of gall stone is concerned, it is not up to the mark in allopathic system. Hence our article is a step in the direction of making an availability of a safe and effective non-surgical management of Cholelithiasis. A 35-year-old female patient reported to OPD Bangalore, with the complaints of severe pain abdomen, anorexia, distension of abdomen and vomiting. The patient was diagnosed as cholelithiasis with physical symptoms and with the help of all investigation. Oral medications like Arogyavardini vati, Varunadi Kashaya, Yavakshara and Katuki Churna was administered to the patient for 1 month and follow up was done after 3 months of treatment, a significant response was observed over clinical symptoms and USG reports
Ayurvedic Perspective of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Authors: Athira Raj  , Asha S T  , Shiny S Raj
Published: May 2022

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome is the leading cause of female infertility in the present scenario. It is one of the important reproductive endocrine disorders in the world. The various conditions associated with PCOS show similarities with Gulma, Prameha, Sthoulya, etc. Pushpagni Jaataharini mentioned in Kasyapa Samhita bears some similarities with clinical presentations of this disease. Nashtarthava, Arthavakshaya, and Vandhya yoni Vyapath mentioned in Susrutha Samhita can also be taken into account. 

As PCOS is a metabolic disorder, there is impairment of the function of Agni at various levels. The disease can be considered as a Bahudoshavastha. It begins as a Vata imbalance, which pushes Kapha and Pitta out of balance in the Arthavavaha Srothas. Samsodhanam, use of Agneya Dravyas, use of Swayoni Vardhana dravyas, and avoidance of etiological factors is the main treatment principle.

Ayurvedic classical textbooks along with available modern literature were referred to make a clear understanding of the concept of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. The clinical symptoms of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome like amenorrhea and hyperprolactinemia are seen in Rakthagulma. The clinical manifestation and pathology of the disease are very close to that of Prameha. Nashtarthava explained by Acharya Susrutha mentions that due to Vatha Kapha Avarana, Arthavanasha occurs in females. This can be correlated with amenorrhoea associated with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. In Vandhya yonivyapath, arthava is destroyed. This can be considered secondary amenorrhoea or anovulation which ultimately causes the inability to conceive a child.

Authors: M S Devinandini  , C Suresh Kumar  , Sreejith Satheesan
Published: May 2022

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia is a troublesome disease that bothers the population of ageing men by decreasing their quality of life. It is an abnormal growth involving the submucosal glands of prostate. The disease interferes with the normal daily activities and sleep pattern and hence is a matter of concern to the medical field. The symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia closely coincide with the symptoms of Mutraghata (urinary obstruction) explained in Ayurveda. When taking the obstructive pathology into consideration, Paneeyakshara Prayoga (alkali for internal administration) is classically mentioned as a treatment option. This work is a case study on the effect of Paneeyakshara prepared out of Paribhadra (Erythrina indica) which is a drug possessing Vatakaphahara (alleviate Vata and Kapha Dosha) and Shophahara Karma (pacify inflammatory swellings) in Mutraghata caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. A 66-year-old male who presented with the signs and symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia was administered with 500 mg of Paribhadra Paneeyakshara with 1 gram of Guda (jaggery), morning and evening, half an hour before food for a period of 45 days. Assessment was done before and after treatment based on the IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) of the American Urological Association and the Ultrasound abdomen findings. The post- interventional assessment showed a lowered IPS Score and reduced USG parameters indicating the efficacy of Paribhadra Paneeyakshara in reducing Mutraghata caused by Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia.

Authors: Lokhande Ketaki  , Sachchidanand  , Khatun Hazera
Published: May 2022

Ayurveda emphasize prevention over cure. A balanced diet with proper dietetic rule can help avoid a lot of common health concerns. The source of life for all living beings is food, growth, strength, intelligence, satisfaction, all are established in food. Food is significant as a nutritional source, as well as having therapeutic value, and it plays an important part in regaining strength lost due to the disease's detrimental effects throughout the post-treatment phase and also excess exercise, or addiction too. Ayurveda classic haphazardly explain nutritional issues. Each and every disease is due to faulty Ahara and Vihara. Ahara vidhi is equally important to get optimum benefits from consumed food. Childhood malnutrition is thought to be the cause of 35% of all fatalities in children under the age of five, as well as 21% of total worldwide disability-adjusted life years lost in children. Karshya not only concerns with weight loss, but also compares with malnutrition-like disorders. In Ayurveda, Karshya is a disease as well as cause, prodromal symptoms, feature of different diseases and bad prognostic sign. Karsha is also a physiological in Vataja prakriti individual. This illness is linked to growth and development issues in children and adolescence group. In adults, malnutrition results in weakness, fatigue, low immune response, protein, vitamin, minerals, fats deficiencies, and more prone to degenerative diseases. The aim of this review article is highlighted the Ayurvedic perspective on Karsha in term of malnutrition. All material for this article is collected from classical Ayurvedic texts. Understanding the cause and pathophysiology and accurate treatment as per Ayurved classics all are discussed here elaborately
Mesenchymal Hamartoma Liver Showing Malignant Transformation to Undifferentiated Embryonal Sarcoma- A Case Report
Authors:   Junior resident, Department of Pathology, Government Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India, Vijayan Dr. Veena
Published: May 2022

Mesenchymal hamartoma of liver is the third most common hepatic tumor in pediatric age group. Typically, it presents as a large multicystic mass in children. Gradually they get increases in size and some can undergo incomplete spontaneous regression and very rarely, few have shown malignant transformation to undifferentiated(embryonal) sarcoma. Here, we report a 6 year old female child with no relevant personal and family history, who presented with abdominal distension and vomiting. Radiology revealed a multiloculated large cystic lesion in the right lobe of liver with a possibility of hemangioendothelioma on ultrasonography and CT abdomen was suggestive of mesenchymal hamartoma of liver. Following worsening of symptoms, partial excision and marsupialisation of the cyst was performed. Histologically, it was diagnosed as mesenchynal hamartoma with undifferentiated embryonal sarcomatous component and immunohistochemical confirmation done.
The response of the natural and sewage-impacted intertidal mussel community of the SW Atlantic to pulse (before / after summer) and chronic sewage discharges in the 1997 - 2014 period
Authors: Elías R. , Sabatini S. , Dávila C.
Published: May 2022

Until 2014 Mar del Plata city discharged its untreated sewage effluents to the intertidal sector. This city has a marked seasonality in the urban discharge, varying between 2.8 and 3.5 m3.sec.-1 of effluents before/after summer. The effect on the intertidal benthic community was evaluated in both spatially, in sewage-impacted and reference sites, and temporarily in both the short term, before/after summer, and in long term along nine periods between 1997 - 2014. The bivalve Brachidontes rodriguezii, the ecosystem engineer, reach the maximum dominance and frequency in reference areas. Spatially the presence of opportunistic and tolerant species characterized the impacted areas, while in reference sites sensitive species were prevalent. The opportunistic polychaete species Capitella "capitata" sp. and Alitta succinea were dominant near the sewage discharge in firsts periods. In other periods the indicator species were Rhynchospio glutaea or Boccardia spp. From 2008 the invader Boccardia proboscidea characterized the sewage-impacted sites building massive reefs. The crustaceans Jassa falcata and Caprella sp. were very abundant at intermediate distances from the sewage discharge, while Monocorophium insidiosum was very abundant in sewage-impacted areas. The tolerant and opportunistic species are favored after the summer due to the extra organic matter input. All community parameters showed lower values after the summer, and also a trend to diminish along the studied period.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the correlation and influencing factors of job
satisfaction among nurses. This study is a cross-sectional correlation study, in which
convenience sampling is adopted and the subjects are clinical nurses serving in a
medical center in Taiwan. This study was conducted by census, in which a total of
750 questionnaires were issued, with the effective recovery rate 79.5%. The
structured questionnaire was adopted, with the contents including personal basic
data sheet and job satisfaction scale. The obtained data were analyzed by t-test, oneway ANOVA, Scheffe’s post-hoc test, and Pearson’s product-moment correlation.
It is found in the results of the study that the average score of job satisfaction among
clinical nurses is 72.3 (out of 100, with a score range of 34 to 100). In terms of
influencing factors of job satisfaction, having children or not, marital status,
position, and service unit are significantly correlated with “inner satisfaction,”
“external satisfaction,” and “overall satisfaction.” Based on the results of the study,

As emoções envolvidas na mudança do ensino presencial para o ensino remoto: uma experiência dos alunos do triênio 2019-2021 do Colégio de Aplicação da UFV
Authors: Oliveira Allain Wilham Silva de , Hespanhol Maria Eduarda Souza
Published: May 2022

A pandemia de COVID-19 o processo de ensino-aprendizagem sofreu intensas transformações.  Sendo assim, o presente trabalho propõe uma análise desse fenômeno a partir de um recorte da realidade dos alunos do triênio 2019-2021 do Colégio de Aplicação da Universidade de Viçosa. O objetivo da pesquisa é compreender, sob uma perspectiva emocional da Geografia, como se configura a escola remota, a ressignificação em seus símbolos e experiências, bem como as implicações dessas mudanças na rotina de estudos e nos sentimentos dos estudantes. Para isso, utilizou-se a metodologia de grupo focal. Nesse caso, foram realizados quatro grupos focais, um por turma, cada um contando com a participação de seis estudantes do triênio 19-21 do COLUNI. A análise dos resultados mostrou um olhar muito carinhoso dos alunos em relação à escola presencial, sobretudo, em função da estreita relação com os colegas e professores, além da liberdade para aprender sobre assuntos que iam além da sala de aula. Assim, a não-presença desse espaço de vivência significou, também, a não-presença afetiva das emoções que eram travadas no colégio, o que tornou a dinâmica de estudos solitária e menos interessante. Dessa forma, conclui-se que o processo ensino-aprendizagem vai além do conhecimento adquirido pelo contato com as disciplinas curriculares e suas rotinas de aulas, leituras e avaliações; ele depende, ainda, dos sentimentos. Por tudo isso, reafirma-se que uma escola de excelência e referência na educação vai além de uma estrutura física: é uma experiência memorável, na qual os afetos, símbolos e significados.

Komunitas akademis pentakosta memiliki tanggungjawab untuk menggemakan teologi dan spiritualitas pentakosta bagi jemaat lokal. Namun, keberanian dan kemampuan melaksanakan tanggungjawab ini harus terus ditingkatkan melalui pelatihan dan pendampingan. Tujuan dari kegiatan ini adalah untuk meningkatkan inventaris diskursus pentakostalisme bagi sarjana pentakosta dan oikumene melalui pelaksanaan seminar disertasi dalam program Pentatalk oleh Asosiasi Sarjana Pentakostal/Karismatik Indonesia (Aspenkris). Dengan melakukan kajian disertasi para akademisi pentakosta, maka para pengajar pentakosta semakin menguatkan jati dirinya sebagai seorang pentakostalisme. Metode pelaksanaan yang dilakukan adalah webinar edukasi melalui platform zoom meeting. Dari kegiatan yang dilakukan ini ada beberapa hal yang telah dan sedang dicapai: Pertama memberikan wacana dan diskursus yang luas dari pentakostalitas baik itu dalam konteks Indonesia maupun luar negeri. Kedua, kegiatan ini mampu mereduksi stigma dan pengertian terhadap pentakostalisme yang hanya sekedar ‘ngeroh’ atau berkutat kepada Roh Kudus semata. Ketiga, melalui kegiatan ini menjalin serta meningkatkan dialog antara pentakostalisme dan oikumenis yang masih minim di kalangan teolog dan praktisi gerejawi.
EFFECT OF IMMOBILIZATION PROTOCOL ON CATALYTIC ACTIVITY OF CRL IMMOBILIZED ONTO OIL PALM LEAVE-SILICA-MAGNETITE SUPPORT
Authors: Onoja Emmanuel , Onoja Comfort , Adah Christiana Joseph
Published: May 2022

Purpose: The purpose of the study was to establish the optimal conditions required for the attachment of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) onto silica extracted from ash of acid treated oil palm leaves, for maximum catalytic efficiency.

Methodology: Six different concentrations of CRL solution ranging from 1 mg/mL to 6 mg/mL, immobilization time of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 h as well as immobilization temperature of 4, 25, 30, 35 40 and 45  were independently investigated. In this study, the parameter to be investigated was varied while others were fixed. The effectiveness of the immobilization protocol were assessed using four catalytic parameters – protein loading, immobilization yield, specific activity and ester yield.   Statistical analysis was performed using one way ANOVA (IBM SPSS -20.0) software while significant differences within ranges in a parameter, if any was given as p  0.05.

Findings: The study revealed that the optimal values of concentration of CRL solution, immobilization time and immobilization temperature required to immobilize CRL onto SiO2-MNPs derived from oil palm leave were 5. 0 mg/mL, 16 h and 25  respectively. At this optimal conditions, protein loading (33.3, 38.1, 20.5 mg/g), immobilization yield (57.8, 70.0, 59.0 %), specific activity (74.6, 63.5, 72.2 U/g) and ester yield (85.0, 74.1, 85.5 %) respectively were achieved.

Recommendation: Optimization of the immobilization protocol for immobilizing CRL onto silica support extracted from the highly abundant oil palm leave – an agricultural biomass, will not just produce a biocatalyst of with high catalytic efficiency but would circumvent the environmental pollution arising from dumping of large quantities of the biomass into the ecosystem. It is recommended from the findings of this study that 5.0 mg/mL CRL solution be immobilized onto glutaraldehyde activated SiO2-MNPs support matrix derived from oil palm leave for 16 h at 25.

O artigo tem por objetivo compreender como a escola pública vem acolhendo a EJA em suas múltiplas dimensões. Para esta compreensão se fez necessário tratar com documentos que orientam a referida modalidade no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte, na relação específica com uma escola que abriga esse público. Dentre os documentos, destacamos o Documento Curricular do Estado do Rio Grande do Norte (DCRN) e o Projeto Político Pedagógico (PPP) da escola no município de Assú/RN. Os documentos foram interpretados a partir de Arendt (2014), Mainardes (2006), Santos (2002), Laval (2004) e outros. Percebemos alguns pontos importantes durante o estudo: a EJA pode se configurar como espaço de natalidade da condição humana e seus documentos orientadores continuam se estruturando necessariamente na função reparadora. Concluímos, realçando a necessidade de reformulação nos documentos oficiais para instituir a função qualificadora e formadora, mesmo que no cotidiano já venha acontecendo como prática emancipatória.
ATUAÇÃO DO PSICÓLOGO NO SISTEMA ÚNICO DE ASSISTÊNCIA SOCIAL – SUAS

Published: May 2022

À priori, se faz necessário refletir sobre o fato de que a política social não pode estar dissociada dos apelos conjunturais, pois segue atendendo à materialização dos interesses do capital, principalmente quando analisamos as políticas que foram direcionadas para a classe menos favorecida da população. Como a sociedade é dual, essa realidade repercute sobre a instituição das políticas públicas brasileiras, formando-as e retroalimentando-as. A fratura social decorrente da desigualdade de oportunidades, distribuição de recursos e bens, assim como, posições dos atores na estrutura social está relacionada ao nível de fluidez social, às possibilidades de mudanças de classes, à competição entre os indivíduos e à distribuição de oportunidades entre grupos sociais. Este trabalho tem o objetivo geral de conhecer como é atuação do psicólogo dentro do SUAS. Como objetivos específicos são elencados: conhecer as barreiras que o psicólogo enfrenta neste campo de atuação; identificar quem é o público que utiliza o serviço SUAS. O trabalho foi de natureza bibliográfica. Como resultados, se conclui que o trabalho do Psicólogo no SUAS parte de uma proposta interdisciplinar que busca integrar áreas em prol da questão social.
An Automated Framework for Screening of Glaucoma using Cup-to-Disc Ratio and ISNT Rule with a Support Vector Machine

Published: May 2022

Glaucoma is a common eye disease that damages an optic nerve due to abnormally high pressure inside the eye. Glaucoma can cause visual impairments and eventually lead to blindness. There is no appropriate treatment to prevent blindness when the optic nerve is damaged. Therefore, an early diagnosis is important to prevent vision loss from glaucoma. An automated framework for glaucoma screening from fundus images is advantageous. It can facilitate the ophthalmologist in the diagnosis and prevent blindness. Many glaucoma screening algorithms have been developed based on a clinical indicator, the cup-to-disc ratio (CDR). However, these algorithms have some limitations for myopia and genetically large optic cup eyes. Therefore, this paper proposes a framework for glaucoma screening that can be applied even in myopia. The 2 clinical indicators, cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) and neuroretinal rim area rule (inferior > superior > nasal > temporal (ISNT)), are applied in the proposed screening algorithm for accurate glaucoma assessment. Moreover, the automatic classification of glaucoma or non-glaucoma from fundus images is performed by a support vector machine (SVM). Therefore, the experimental results show that the proposed screening algorithm can accurately classify glaucoma to normal eyes or myopic eyes.

HIGHLIGHTS

A framework for glaucoma screening is proposed to classify myopia and genetically large optic cup eyes

Two clinical indicators, cup-to-disc ratio (CDR) and neuroretinal rim area rule (inferior > superior > nasal > temporal (ISNT)), are applied in the proposed screening algorithm for accurate glaucoma assessment

Automatic classification of glaucoma or non-glaucoma from fundus images is performed by a support vector machine (SVM)

The proposed framework can provide less time consuming, cost-effective and physician independent system for glaucoma screening

Optimizing Compressive Strength Properties of Binary Blended Cement Rice Husk Concrete for Road Pavement
Authors: Fitriani Heni , Ahmed Ash , Kolawole Olonade , Hyndman Fraser , Idris Yakni , Rosidawani Rosidawani
Published: May 2022

Different supplementary cementitious materials are often blended with cement to produce sustainable concrete. More often than not, the strength of blended concrete is compromised, if the constituent materials are not carefully selected. In this study, optimization of strength properties of blended cement-rice husk ash (RHA) was carried out to determine the best mix ratio that produced binary blended concrete of high strength. Different mix ratios of cement and RHA were studied at a water cement ratio of 0.4 to produce concrete specimens. RHA was produced by burning 700 ℃ for an hour and its chemical composition was determined using the X-Ray Fluoresce (XRF) technique. RHA produced was used to replace cement at replacement levels of 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 %, and was used as binder. The compressive strength of each concrete mix was determined at 7, 28, and 56 days. Approximately 250 concrete cubes were tested and the results were subjected to statistical analysis. The results showed that compressive strength and internal structure varied with RHA as a replacement for cement. Optimal strength was achieved for a concrete mixture, prepared at a water: cement: aggregate ratio of 1:1.5:3, respectively, and a RHA replacement ratio of 5 %.

HIGHLIGHTS

Cement is the most utilized construction material. The energy-intensive processes that are involved in its production contribute up to 10 % of total global CO2emissions, with potentially adverse environmental implications. It is however possible, that energy and cost efficiency can be achieved by reducing on the amount of clinker, and in its place utilising supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) or pozzolans

Currently, most sustainable concrete uses either GGBS (slag) or PFA (fly ash) to reduce the quantity of cement used in construction and highways applications. GGBS and PFA come from industries (steel and coal waste respectively) which are in decline that should not be relied upon in the long term. Therefore, for long term sustainability it is imperative to focus attention on other alternative pozzolans

This report shows that cement in concrete can also be replaced with rice husk ash (RHA) which actually enhances the mechanical properties. Findings show the usage of up to 5 % rice husk ash as a partial cement replacement can enhance the strength of concrete whilst reducing the embodied CO2

Konjac glucomannan has been commercially produced and used as functional food, food additives, food supplements, pharmaceutical and cosmetic, and biomaterials. Despite intensive and advance research at postharvest stage, knowledge on cultivation of konjac plants has been limited. This research covered current issues associated with selecting agronomically the most suitable planting material, shading effects on shoot emergence and growth characteristics, and non-destructive area estimation of the compound leaf in the konjac plants. Planting materials used were 81 true seeds, 81 bulbils and 81 cormels. Results of this study indicated that bulbil was a suitable planting material based on its early shoot emergence and size of above ground organs. Shading at 50 and 70 % exhibited a better performance in time of emergence and growth characteristics than konjac plant fully exposed to sunlight, even though the differences were not statistically significant. Total leaf blade area (LA) of the irregular konjac compound leaf can be accurately (R2 = 0.9932) and consistently estimated using the 0-intercept linear model and the multiplication product of total midrib length and average width of all leaflets (TLM×AWL) is used as predictor. The recommended formula is LA = 0.6761(TLM×AWL).

HIGHLIGHTS

Shoot emergence in konjac plant was significantly earlier if the true seed was used rather than bulbil and cormel as planting materials

Plant grown using cormel and bulbil exhibited larger shoot and corm compared to those grown using true seed

Shading at 50 and 70 % increased length of the pseudo-stem, total number of leaflet, and other morphological characters

Total midrib length of all leaflets and average of all leaflet width (TLM×AWL) could be used as predictors for accurate LA estimation

This study considering the recycling of agricultural/industrial wastes into cement and to bring sustainable and environmental-friendly concrete. In this investigation, studied about the mechanical properties of Wheat straw ash and Bamboo wood ash. The mechanical properties was evaluated in terms of compressive strength test, flexural strength test & split tensile strength test of concrete. Addition of WSA & BWA in concrete by replacement material with different percentage i.e. 5%, 10%, 15% & 20% by the weight of cement. The aim of this study is to check the effect of mechanical properties of WSA & BWA in concrete for sustainable development. During the production of cement involves an intensive use of raw material and energy, while at the same time, releases high quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Which causes environmental pollution and greenhouse gases. Thus WSA & BWA can be used as a cementitious material in the replacement of cement in concrete. This one of the effective way to reduce its impact on environment.

A Entonação Expressiva na Interpretação para Língua de Sinais Tátil em Conferências
Authors: Santiago Vânia de Aquino Albres
Published: May 2022

A guia-interpretação para pessoas surdocegas corresponde a uma especialização do trabalho do intérprete de Libras, pois além da atividade tradutória em si, este trabalho exige do profissional diferentes outras competências. Entre suas tarefas está a de descrever tudo que cerca a pessoa surdocega e de atuar na sua orientação e mobilidade, além de transmitir as enunciações e de mediar a comunicação. O objetivo deste estudo é apresentar considerações fundamentais sobre a guia-interpretação para a língua de sinais tátil em contexto de conferências, mais especificamente no que se refere às adaptações e ao léxico específico para indicação da entonação expressiva durante a interpretação, considerando a modalidade língua de sinais tátil e suas condições de produção e recepção nesse contexto. Sugerimos no estudo que na atividade de interpretação para a Libras tátil, um item lexical simples pode vir a assumir diferentes funções gramaticais e consequentemente a produzir outros diferentes sentidos, item aparentemente sobressalente ou redundante, se apresenta como termo que se desloca das significações comuns no seu emprego como elemento de entonação expressiva. A atuação em conferências demanda do profissional guia-intérprete, além de competências de descrição e tradução, competência linguística específica.
Frankenstein e o Tradutor
Authors: Amarante Dirce Waltrick do
Published: May 2022

Alberto Manguel, ao comparar traduções de um determinado texto para diferentes idiomas, chega à conclusão de que o texto muda de identidade de uma língua para a outra, mas, ainda assim, permanece o mesmo. Mas como é que o texto pode permanecer o mesmo diante dessas identidades sempre cambiantes? Ou, o que permite dizer que traduções de um mesmo texto são um só texto? Manguel, que compara o texto a uma pessoa e, citando um antigo enigma filosófico, se pergunta, então, “se uma pessoa que teve cada parte de seu corpo substituída por órgãos e membros artificiais continua a ser a mesma pessoa”, ou seja, “em qual dos nossos membros reside nossa identidade: Em que elemento de um poema reside o poema?”.

INTRODUÇÃO: A apresentação clínica de um paciente infectado pelo SARS-CoV-2 se manifesta no grupo populacional desde formas leves, moderadas e até mesmo graves, podendo levar ao óbito. Desse modo, busca-se compreender a relação da resposta imunológica com o novo coronavírus, por meio da atuação das células mieloides, das células T e pela sinalização do interferon do tipo I. OBJETIVO: Identificar quais são as modificações que o SARS-COV- 2 causa no sistema imunológico dos indivíduos acometidos. METODOLOGIA: O presente estudo trata-se de uma revisão de literatura que visa sintetizar o conhecimento acerca da resposta imunológica frente a infecção pelo SARSCOV-2. Desse modo, foi realizada busca por artigos científicos em bases de dados bibliográficas (PubMED, Medline, Scielo), utilizando os descritores: Immune system, COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2. Foram acessados 21 estudos e, utilizando os critérios de inclusão (estudos que se referiam à tempestade de citocinas, COVID-19, SARS-COV-2, fisiopatologia da COVID-19 e resposta imune), apenas 5 foram excluídos. Ao finalizar a pesquisa, leitura e análise cautelosa, foram contemplados 16 artigos em português e inglês, publicados entre 2019 e 2022, para compor o atual trabalho. RESULTADOS: Analisando-se amostras de células mononucleares do sangue periférico, o estudo de Zhang et al., que contou com 53 pacientes confirmados de COVID-19 e 24 doadores saudáveis, demonstrou que a doença cursa com a hiperativação de células mieloides, hipofuncionamento das células T e silenciamento de resposta dos interferons tipo I, o que desproporciona a resposta imune e favorece um mecanismo de hipercitonemia, que por sua vez é um gatilho para graves disfunções orgânicas. Nesse sentido, Varchetta et al., em um estudo com 32 indivíduos COVID-19 positivo demonstrou que os exames laboratoriais desses pacientes apresentavam indícios de Linfo-Histiocitose Hemofagocítica, cursando com linfopenia e aumento de ferritina sérica, dímero D, proteína C reativa e desidrogenase lática, que também são considerados marcadores de mau prognóstico. CONCLUSÃO: A pandemia COVID-19 cursa com implicações significativas para o sistema imunológico, pois o vírus gera um processo inflamatório e a hipofunção das células imunes. Ademais, é necessário que mais estudos sejam realizados com a finalidade de analisar quais são as reais alterações que o sistema imune enfrenta mediante ao coronavírus.
INTERNATIONAL TAX PLANNING FOCUSING ON THE REDUCTION OF THE TAX BURDEN
Authors: Barbosa Marques Carolina
Published: May 2022

International tax tax planning is extremely important for companies, as it makes it possible to reduce the tax burden when done well. This article, through a literature review, aimed to discuss the main aspects of international tax planning and its influence on reducing tax burdens. In short, Tax planning is a tool used within the scope of the law, which can be applied through loopholes or other legal systems, in order to reduce the taxpayer’s tax burden as much as possible. It was also noted that tax reduction occurs when the use of international differences in the tax burden results in a reduction of the tax burden in relation to the tax burden in the country of residence. This is achieved by taking advantage of interstate tax differences, differences in international tax systems, and incomplete interstate coordination.

Psychomotricity is a science whose objective is the study of man in motion, whose movement, intellect and affection go together. It is through corporeity that our subjectivity is formed, because body and mind are not separated. However, what we perceive in many school environments is that the time devoted to the body is limited only to recess, emphasizing intellectual activity to the detriment of motor activity. We found that for a good learning the child has to experience joyful and pleasurable experiences. When we talk about learning, psychomotricity and playfulness, we understand that they are inseparable. Psychomotricity has the function of stimulating cognition, affectivity and language, it helps the child to master knowledge and psychomotor skills both broad and fine, as it works on motor coordination so important to the child’s development. According to Marinho et al, (2012) “The ludic has great educational value and can be used at school as one of the didactic resources in the teaching-learning process, contributing to the development of didactic-pedagogical activities”.
