Background: Antiretroviral therapy is a lifelong commitment that requires consistent intake of tablets to optimize health outcomes, attain and maintain viral suppression. Objective: We aimed to elicit predictors of treatment interruption amongst PLHIV and identify motivating factors influ- encing return to care. Method: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a mixed-method approach in four hospitals in Yaoundé. Sociodemo- graphic and clinical data were collected from ART registers. Using purposeful sampling, thirteen participants were enrolled for interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Epi-Info and Atlas-TI for qualitative analysis. Ethical clearance ap- proved by CBCHS-IRB. Results: A total of 271 participants records were assessed. The mean age was 33 years (SD±11years). Private facilities CASS and CMNB registered respectively 53 (19.6%) and 14 (5.2%) participants while CMA Nkomo and IPC had 114 (42.1%) and 90 (33.2%) participants. Most participants (75.3%) were females [OR 1.14; CI 0.78-1.66] compare with males. 78% had no viral load test results. Transport cost and stigmatization constituted the most prominent predictors of treatment interruption (47.5%) and (10.5%) respectively. Belief in the discovery of an eminent HIV cure and the desire to raise offspring motivated 30% and 61%, respectively to resume treatment. Conclusion: Structural barriers like exposed health facility, and dispensing ARVs in open spaces stigmatizes clients and increases odds of attrition. Attrition of patients on ART will be minimized through implementation of client centered ap- proaches like multiplying proxy ART pick points, devolving stable clients to community ARV model.

Keywords: ART interruption; attrition; return to care; predictors; motivating factors; Cameroon.
Comparative Constitutional Law and Religion
Authors:   University of Bristol, UK, Rivers Julian
Published: July 2021

The study of comparative constitutional law and religion lies at the intersection of two relatively recent, but rapidly growing, scholarly fields: comparative constitutional law, and law and religion studies. The intersection between the two is natural and substantial, revealing the relationship between a state’s laws and religions and the tension between universalism and particularism generated by both modern constitutions and world religions. The potential complexity of internal and external relations within and between constitutions and religions is clear, and the powerful loyalties they evoke make their resolution particularly intractable. This original research review surveys 50 of the most significant scholarly works on the subject, offering valuable insight for everyone interested in the relationship between constitutional law and religion.

Bu çalışmada, silindirik binaların yarı küresel geometrideki çatıları etrafındaki akış alanları, normal ve yelkıran saçak şeklinde iki farklı saçak tipi için deneysel ve sayısal olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın deneysel kısmında, rüzgâr tüneline yerleştirilen bina modellerinin çatı yüzeylerinde ortalama basınç dağılımları elde edilmiş ve modeller etrafında akış görüntüleme çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sayısal kısımda ise, bina modelleri etrafındaki akış alanları SST k-ω türbülans modeli kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. Sayısal çalışmadan elde edilen basınç dağılımlarının deneysel çalışmadan elde edilen basınç dağılımlarıyla uyumlu olduğu ve saçak tipindeki değişimin, basınç dağılımlarında belirgin bir değişime yol açmadığı görülmüştür.
MALEBRANCHE: EL PLACER DINÁMICO Y ORDENADO
Authors: Pla Alfonso Alejandro José
Published: July 2021

La crítica señala a Pierre Nicole como el pensador que hizo la transición entre aquellos primeros moralistas de mediados del siglo XVII que condenaban el mundo terrenal y adoptaban una actitud negativa del ser humano, y los moralistas de la primera mitad del siglo XVIII, cuya visión moderna y mundana concebía al hombre bajo una perspectiva positiva. Este estudio pretende ubicar a Nicolas Malebranche como el otro pensador, quizá más en la sombra, quizá con un modo no tan explícito, que protagoniza dicha transición. Bajo el reinado de Luis XIV, el filósofo parisino, influenciado notablemente por San Agustín y Descartes, establece una psicología dinámica que le aleja del estático epicureísmo clásico y trasciende metafísicamente la moral cartesiana, dotándola de un sistema acabado en el que la figura de Dios ilumina el conocimiento y establece una moral bien definida. Su teoría del orden supone una puesta en valor del placer mundano, así como una congénita sociabilidad cristiana. Los acercamientos y alejamientos con Descartes y la escolástica, así como sus interpretaciones de San Agustín, elucidarán en este estudio un prisma mundano de conceptos hasta la fecha de barniz cristiano. Toda moral y teoría del conocimiento parte en él de su metafísica cristiana.
EL USO DE LAS TECNOLOGÍAS PARA EL CONTROL SOCIAL POR LOS GRUPOS DE PODER
Authors: Carrasco Díaz-Masa Santiago
Published: July 2021

La crisis sanitaria provocada por el SARS-COV2 ha planteado la necesidad de un cierto control social por parte de los Gobiernos como medida para luchar más eficazmente contra la pandemia. Este control social puede ejercerse, entre otras formas, a través de las tecnologías y en especial las Tecnologías de la Informática y las Comunicaciones (TIC). El abanico de posibilidades es muy amplio y recibe un tratamiento distinto, así como diferentes aplicaciones, según el régimen político, la religión o religiones y en general la cultura de cada país.

El control social no es una cosa nueva y lo ejercen no solo los estados, sino también las empresas —en especial las tecnológicas— con objetivos distintos pero quizás con mayor eficacia. Algunas de ellas basan su modelo de negocio precisamente en el control social.
STRUKTURA KANONA NA JUTRENjU NA PRIMERU „SLUŽBE SVETOM PATRIJARHU JEFREMU“
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Lazarević Đorđe
Published: July 2021

The paper shows the connection between the Biblical canticles and canons at orthros, the most important and most solemn part of this church service, through the example of The Service to Holy Patriarch Jefrem by the medieval poet, bishop Marko Pećki. The analysis of the structure of canon at orthros, a liturgical hymn that belongs to the corpus of old Serbian literature, indicates the possibilities of connecting the Biblical text with Serbian medieval texts and its influence on them. Connecting Biblical canticles with the hymns of canon is achieved through irmos, an introductory stanza inspired by the contents of the Holy Bible which links the events from the hagiography with the basic meaning of the Biblical text.
PRAVOPISNE GREŠKE U MEĐUJEZIKU SRBOFONIH STUDENATA KOJI UČE TIPOLOŠKI SRODNE JEZIKE (ITALIJANSKI KAO L2 I ŠPANSKI KAO L3)
Authors: Vujovic Marija
Published: July 2021

The studies that analyze the interlanguage of plurilingual speakers have been the focus of linguists’ interest for the past three decades, since empirical researches have proved that both students’ mother tongue and non-mother tongue can be a resource for transfer when learning a new language. The paper analyzes orthographic errors made by Serbophone students of philology who study two typologically similar languages - Italian and Spanish, which arose as a result of a negative transfer from one language to another. The presented errors prove that the negative transfer is stronger in typologically closely related languages than in those that are not, regardless of the order of acquisition (De Bot, 1992; Williams & Hammarberg, 1998; Jarvis, 2000; De Angelis & Selinker, 2001; Cenoz, 2001; Ecke, 2001; Hammarberg, 2001; Ringbom, 2001). Due to the factors of language distance and psychotypology that influenced the appearance of transfers, it has been proved that interlinguistic similarities are the ones that caused the largest number of errors (Swan, 1997) and the appearance of negative lateral transfer, i.e. negative transfer from the second to the third language. The errors did not occur exclusively due to ignorance of the rules of the Spanish language, but they were caused by the influence that the knowledge of the previously acquired Italian had on learning Spanish. Thus, most of the errors were interlingual. Many errors identified in the corpus would not have been made by students who had previously learned another foreign language typologically distant from Spanish. As the largest number of orthographic errors was identified in words that are the same or similar in Italian and Spanish, the claim of many linguists (Williams & Hammarberg, 1998; Cenoz, 2001; De Angelis & Selinker, 2001; Ecke, 2001; Hammarberg, 2001; Ringbom, 2001) that the typological similarity between L2 and L3 facilitates language transfer has been proved. Thus, when studying transfer, one should pay attention not only to the influence of the mother tongue on the target language, but also to the influence of L2 on the target language, especially in the case when L2 is typologically closest to the L3.

RESUMO

A otite canina é uma enfermidade relevante na prática veterinária; desse modo, reveste-se de grande importância o conhecimento do(s) agente(s) associado(s) e seus perfis de susceptibilidade, no intuito de se estabelecer um tratamento direcionado e eficaz e prevenir a disseminação de bactérias multirresistentes (OLIVEIRA et al., 2005). Foram coletadas 29 amostras, través de “swabs” estéreis, de secreções otológicas provenientes de cães de raça, gênero, idade distintas que apresentavam sinais clínicos de otite, no Hospital Veterinário da UFERSA e nas Clínicas do Município de Mossoró- RN no período de agosto 2009 até junho 2010. Isolados e devidamente identificados, os microrganismos foram sujeitos a antibiogramas com antibióticos convencionais e os meios alternativos (extrato Nim e própolis) aqui avaliados, através da técnica de difusão em Ágar pelo disco de papel. Considerando a escassez de dados referentes à otite canina à tratamento provenientes de recursos naturais na região Nordeste do País, este trabalho apresenta resultados da pesquisa por  meios alternativos ao tratamento da otite com extrato de Nim (Azadirachta indica) e própolis.

THE FORENSIC ASSESSMENT OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CASES DURING THE START OF ISOLATION DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Rios Angelita
Published: July 2021

Introduction: social isolation is an important resource to slow down the speed of contamination during the COVID-19 pandemic, however it can intensify abusive behavior among couples or family members. Objective: to present demographic and criminal data of victims of domestic violence assessed at the Clinic of Forensics and Psychosocial Service of the Medical-Legal Department of Porto Alegre. Method: retrospective survey of data, which analyzed interviews of 47 victims of domestic violence, between April and May 2020. The sample consisted of 30 cases of intimate partner violence (IPV) and 17 cases of family violence (VF). Sociodemographic and criminal variables and the opinion on the dynamics of violence in quarantine were analyzed. Result: domestic violence predominantly affected female victims (96.6% of intimate partner violence and 58.8% of family violence). The male gender was a victim of family violence in extreme age groups. Women suffered violence throughout their life cycle, but aggressions by intimate partners showed peaks in adolescence and youth. Children were abused by close relatives and victims over 60 years of age suffered physical violence from their children or sons-in-law. In intimate partner violence, 53% of the sample reported aggression by ex-partners, between 15 days and two years’ timeframe. In the opinion of 90.3% of women, quarantine did not change the frequency or intensity of abusive acts. Conclusion: violence in the domestic environment predominantly affects people in vulnerable situations such as children, women and the elderly.

Published: July 2021

Háttér és célkitűzések: Kutatásunkban azt vizsgáltuk, hogy életük utolsó szakaszát hogyan élik meg azok az idős emberek, akik életük ezen szakaszában maradandó alkotás létrehozására irányuló alkotó (kézműves, képzőművész, textilművész) tevékenységgel foglalkoznak.Módszer: Vizsgálatunkban a proaktív megküzdést, az élettel való elégedettséget, az időskori depressziót és az élet értelmét vizsgáló kérdőíveket alkalmaztunk.Eredmények és következtetések: Az értelem keresésének alkotóknál mért magasabb szintje összefüggésben lehet a keresés összetett jellegével, amely magában hordozhatja az életszakaszváltással együtt járó lelki feszültséget és az azzal való megküzdést és a fejlődés lehetőségét is, így az alkotó tevékenység egyfajta védőfaktorként értelmezhető. Az alkotók csoportjában a reflektív megküzdés (többféle megoldási lehetőség és a megoldáshoz szükséges erőforrások feltárása és elemzése) mutatta a legmagasabb értéket, ami az alkotó tevékenységet folytatók kreativitásából és divergens gondolkodásából adódhat.

Published: July 2021

Az idősek számának és arányának növekvő tendenciája egyéb változásokkal párhuzamosan jelentkezik, ami nem csak kihívást jelent az ellátórendszereknek, hanem az időskori aktivitás fenntartásával lehetőségek széles spektrumát nyitja meg az idős személyek előtt. Az egyik ilyen lehetőség az idősoktatás, azon belül is a szaporodó Senior Akadémiák, a hazai felsőoktatási intézmények idősoktatási kezdeményezései. Ugyanakkor a XXI. századi változások egyik legmarkánsabb eleme a digitalizáció, ami az idősoktatásban is új szerepet készül betölteni a közösségi terektől való kényszerű távolmaradás okán. A tanulmány a digitalizáció néhány területének társadalmi hatásait írja le, kifejezetten az idősebb korosztályok szempontjából. Az egészségügyi aspektusokon túl két terület, a közösség támogató ereje, illetve az elmagányosodás ellen ható törekvések adják az innovatív megoldások társadalmi jelentőségének gerincét hazánkban.  A tanulmány a pandémiát megelőző időszak helyzetképét rögzíti az aktív idősödés digitalizációval összefüggő néhány meghatározó területén.
Új szerepben 70 fölött az online térben

A cikk szerzője esettanulmányként saját példáján mutatja be, hogy egy új szerepvállalás milyen pozitív változásokat hozhat egy nyugdíjas korú ember életében. Az időskori aktivitás esetében családi örökség, édesapja 83 évesen bekövetkezett haláláig folyamatosan dolgozott szaklektorként és fordítóként, nagyapja 82 éves korában megnyert egy pályázatot, amely a korszerű fizikatanítási módszerekről szólt. A szerző villamosmérnöki munkaköréből történt nyugdíjba vonulása után, 65 éves korában egy véletlennek köszönhetően vált az interneten főleg a fiatalok körében ismertté. Szomorkásan mosolygó fotói alapján elnevezték a fájdalmát elrejtő Hide the pain Haroldnak, és a képeiből elkezdtek vicces mémeket gyártani. Kezdetben nem fogadta el új szerepkörét, megpróbált küzdeni ellene. Több évbe telt, mire rájött, hogy amit nem tud megváltoztatni, annak az élére kell állni. 72 évesen jutott el odáig, hogy létrehozott egy saját internetes oldalt a rajongói számára, és elkezdett azon dolgozni, hogy a kezdetben nem mindig pozitív üzenetet hordozó mémeket egy követhető, pozitív életszemlélet váltsa fel. Az alapgondolat, hogy az élet kisebb-nagyobb kellemetlenségeit nem kell túl komolyan venni, egy bánatos mosollyal túl kell lépni rajtuk, visszhangra talált a fiatalok körében. Követőinek száma világszerte már meghaladja a félmilliót, de legsikeresebb posztjai a megosztások révén tízmilliókhoz jutnak el. Az így szerzett népszerűség megváltoztatta a mindennapi életét. Meghívások révén Szibériától Dél-Amerikáig eljutott a világ számos országába, korábban inkább introvertált személyisége nyitottabbá vált a közszereplésre. A világ eseményeivel, az újabb technikai lehetőségekkel, a fiatalok gondolkodásmódjával való lépéstartás állandó elfoglaltságot jelent számára. Története egyszeri és megismételhetetlen, de példát mutat arra, hogy egy időskori karrierváltásnak milyen pozitív következményei lehetnek.

Published: July 2021

The quantity surveyors’ roles in executing infrastructure development has expanded from cost management to other professional activities which include managing project risks, project planning, facilities, economic, commercial, and legal framework. Despite the expansion, quantity surveyors’ services are not fully utilised in these areas. Most clients are concerned with achieving their project expectations using professional services mainly other sister professions. Marketing is an effective tool to link clients or customers to understand and accept the value of quantity surveyors’ professional services. Previous studies have investigated the marketing strategies as it relates to practising quantity surveyors but failed to consider the importance of clients’ participation in selecting effective marketing strategies. The paper assesses the influence of clients’ participation in the selection of marketing strategies for quantity surveying profession services. Using quantitative questionnaire survey, data from potential clients and consultant quantity surveyors in Rivers State were analysed with the help of inferential and descriptive statistics which include Kruskal-Wallis test, as well as, Pearson correlation. The research findings reveal marketing research, marketing planning, and marketing intelligence as the most influential marketing strategies. The study further reveals that assurance, reliability, and responsiveness as the most significant dimensions of quality service in selecting a service provider. The paper recommends that practising quantity surveyors should adopt the three significant dimensions of quality service for effective marketing of their services to potential clients.
The Role of Maintenance in Reducing the Risk of Technological Disasters
Authors:   Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental Engineering, the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Alabama 35487-0205 USA, Batson Robert G
Published: July 2021

In this article, we begin with characterization of technological disasters, emphasizing that human errors in one or more phases of the system life-cycle set the stage for disaster. To counter the unexpected, designers include multiple independent safety barriers capable of preventing the occurrence or mitigating the consequences of such unexpected events. The integrity of the barriers depends on adequate levels of maintenance. Maintenance actions sometimes cause technological disasters, but are shown in large part to prevent malfunctions in technology control systems and safety barriers. We argue that well-planned and executed maintenance actions are key in the reduction of risk of technological disasters. In our research, we reviewed well-documented technological disasters in a variety of organizations such as commercial aviation, nuclear power generation, and petroleum and chemical processing. Using a three-factor cause analysis scheme (human error, equipment or process failure, safety barrier failure) we analyzed twelve disasters and found these factors present in each disaster description. In each analysis, we paid particular attention to the role of maintenance managers and technicians in reducing the risk of disaster. However, maintenance was also a direct causal factor in six of the twelve (50%) disasters analyzed. In addition, we identified the phase of the technological system life-cycle when the disaster occurred.

Kaygı, nedeni ve başlangıç zamanı belli olmayan fakat kişiler tarafından bilinçli olarak hissedilen ve etki olarak kişilere göre vücutta farklı tepkilere (kusma, kızarma, terleme, titreme gibi) neden olan korkunun farklı bir otonomik versiyonu olarak tanımlanabilir. Çalışmanın amacı, Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi öğrencilerinin sürekli kaygı düzeyinin demografik özelliklere (cinsiyet, yaş, bölüm, sınıf, spor yaşı, gelir durumu) göre incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu; Düzce Üniversitesi Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi'nde okuyan gönüllü olarak katılan 48 kadın 43 erkekten oluşan 91öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. 6 soruluk “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, sürekli kaygı düzeylerini belirlemek içinse Spielberger, Gorsuch ve Luschene (1970) tarafından geliştirilen Öner ve Lecompte (1983) tarafından Türkçe ye uyarlanan "Sürekli Kaygı Envanteri" kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin analizi için SPSS 22.0 paket programı kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen analiz sonucu sürekli kaygı düzeyi ile cinsiyet, yaş, bölüm, spor yaşı, sınıf ve gelir durumu değişkenleri arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır(p>0.05). Sürekli kaygı düzeyi ile spor yaşı arasında istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur(p<0.05). Bu sonuç bize spor yaşının artmasının, öğrencilerin başarı beklentilerini etkilenebileceğini ve sürekli kaygı düzeylerini de arttırabileceğini göstermiştir.

FRANCIS BACON’UN "OTOPORTRE İÇİN ÇALIŞMA" ADLI RESİMLERİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME
Authors: DÖNMEZ İrfan
Published: July 2021

1909 Dublin doğumlu İngiliz sanatçı Francis Bacon’ın resimle ilgilenmeye başladığı İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası yılların sanat anlayışı soyut sanattır. Sanatçı, dönemin hakim düşüncesi olan Varoluşçuluk izleğinde dini temalı Klasik Resimlerden, Gerçeküstücülükten, fotoğraf ve sinemadan etkilenerek soyut ile figür anlayışının harmanlandığı özgün eserler üretmiştir. Sanatçının sıra dışı yaşam tarzı, arkadaşları ile yaşadığı ilişkiler ve kendi imgesi resimlerinin konusunu derinden etkilemiştir. Bacon’un "Otoportre için Çalışma" isimli resimleri, sanatçının yaşam içeresinde bir varlık olarak kendini algılayışına ve konumlandırışına odaklanarak otoportre resim türüne yeni bir bakış getirmesi nedeniyle dikkat çekicidir. Bu nedenle, Bacon’un resim anlayışı içinde tümelden tikel olana odaklanarak "Otoportre için Çalışma" resimlerinin plastik özelliklerini tartışmak amaçlanmıştır. Bacon’un, 1963, 1964, 1976, 1982, 1985-86 yıllarında yapmış olduğu ve hayatının belirli dönemlerinin etkisinde görselleştirdiği "Otoportre için Çalışma’" adlı resimlerinin görsel ögeleri kronolojik sıra ile ikonolojik ve ikonografik olarak incelenmiştir. İncelenen eserlerde sanatçının varoluş ile ilgili düşüncelerinin görsel izleri aranmıştır.

Sonuç olarak sanatçının değişen yaşantısının etkisinde zamanla farklılaşan ve sonunda sentezlenen temel plastik ögelerin sanatçının resim anlayışı ve otoportre temasına getirdiği bakış açısının üzerindeki etkilerine ulaşılmıştır.

Rural Development by Panchayat in Undivided Midnapore District, West Bengal
Authors: Patra Debasis
Published: July 2021

The unique experiment of democratic decentralization through the working of Panchayati Raj Institutions in West Bengal has already brought about an unmistakable transformation of the rural society and contributed to the awakening of consciousness among the less privileged sections regarding their ability and capacity to rebuild their future and to bring the fruits of development within the easy reach of one and all. This intimate involvement of the people in the entire process of rural development and the spontaneous growth of genuine rural leadership in the villages and blocks were the main features of the Panchayati Raj system in this state. Yet this great experiment is not free from some problems which have arisen in the day to day or long-term working of Panchayat bodies. These have to be identified and appreciated without in any manner, casting any reflection upon either the Panchayat system or functionaries in the field whether official Panchayat public relations, upon which depends largely the effective and efficient working of the system. N other words, the dysfunctions of the Panchayat institutions should be properly identified in order to check the entropic tendency of the system. Let us now see the types of dysfunctions of this grass-root experiment.
The transfer of power and decision-making authority to elected representatives in the field of rural development has understandably disturbed the earlier ‘balance’ between official and non-officials. A process of trial and error, a process of adjustment has, however, already started and there is an increasing appreciation of the viewpoints that power has necessarily to be with the people and their elected leaders and the bureaucracy must consciously and wholeheartedly provide the needful support and assistance in the decision racking process and also in the process of implementation of programmes decided upon.
Lung Cancer Detection using CT SCAN Images
Authors: Karthikeyan Dr. M. V. , S Aravindh. , Vignesh P. Laxman Guru
Published: July 2021

Detection of pulmonary nodules has a crucial effect on the diagnosis of lung cancer, but the detection is a nontrivial task, not only because the appearance of pulmonary nodules varies in a wide range, but also because nodule densities have low contrast against adjacent vessel segments and other lung tissues. Computed tomography (CT) has been shown as the most popular imaging modality for nodule detection, because it has the ability to provide reliable image textures for the detection of small nodules.
The development of lung nodule CADe systems using CT imaging modality has made good progress over the past decade. Generally, such CADe systems consist of three stages: 1) image pre-processing, 2) initial nodule candidates (INCs) identification, and 3) false positive (FP) reduction of the INCs with preservation of the true positives (TPs). In the pre-processing stage, the system aims to largely reduce the search space to the lungs, where a segmentation of the lungs from the entire chest volume is usually required. Because of the high image contrast between lung fields and the surrounding body tissue, image intensity-based simple thresholding is effective, and is currently the most commonly used technique for lung segmentation. This paper proposes an adaptive solution to mitigate the difficulty of thresholding-based method in lung segmentation. Sufficient detection power for nodule candidates is inevitably accompanied by many (obvious) FPs. A rule-based filtering operation is often employed to cheaply and drastically reduce the number of obvious FPs, so that their influence on the computationally more expensive learning process can be eliminated. In general, FP reduction using machine learning has been extensively studied in the literature. Compared with unsupervised learning that aims to find hidden structures in unlabelled data, supervised learning, which aims to infer a function from labelled training data, is more frequently used to design a CADe system. Compared with the existing approaches, the morphology based lung cancer detection can be an alternative with either comparable detection performance and less computational cost, or comparable cost and better detection performance.

Published: July 2021

Occupational therapy’s focus on functional cognition offers a distinct approach to the assessment of and intervention for occupational performance deficits that may follow coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Although the majority of people survive COVID-19, many people experience persistent functional cognitive sequelae severe enough to interfere with occupational performance. After COVID-19, people may be categorized as either (1) those who experience severe or critical illness requiring hospitalization or (2) those with mild to moderate presentations of the virus without hospitalization. A third group of those who do not have ongoing signs of active infection but who experience new, lasting, or deteriorating symptoms has begun to emerge and may represent a distinct COVID-19 long-haul syndrome. By following the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework and using established processes for occupational therapy assessment and treatment of functional cognition, occupational therapy practitioners can tailor assessments and interventions to meet clients’ needs.

Authors: Fontão Pedro Augusto Breda , Zavattini João Afonso
Published: July 2021

Trata-se de uma investigação que buscou a compreensão da variabilidade pluvial na Região Metropolitana de São Paulo (RMSP) e seus reflexos no armazenamento hídrico do Sistema Cantareira, principal manancial de abastecimento da metrópole, dando ênfase para o episódio da crise hídrica sucedida entre os anos 2014–2015. A RMSP está inserida na porção leste do estado de São Paulo, destacando-se por ser o maior e mais populoso aglomerado urbano do território brasileiro, e notoriamente encontra-se sujeita à eventos extremos. Nesta região, selecionaram-se postos pluviométricos representativos no sentido nordeste–sudoeste e avaliou-se as chuvas em nível mensal pelo método Boxplot e, a partir dos parâmetros habituais apreciados, analisou-se a distribuição das chuvas na região associada às variações do volume armazenado e captado no Sistema Cantareira, para fins de planejamento urbano e ambiental.

Published: July 2021

Os processos de extração mineral se constituem exemplo de estratégias de acumulação por espoliação ocorridos em Estados fragilizados e dependentes econômica, social e institucionalmente. Essas táticas determinam as lógicas territoriais de apropriação da terra e da organização social do trabalho, reflexos estes fortemente vivenciados em países africanos, particularmente, em Moçambique. A pesquisa fundamenta-se em um referencial teórico e metodológico que investiga a relação entre a acumulação por espoliação e as comunidades diretamente atingidas pela extração do minério de carvão, tutoreado pela empresa Vale S.A. O presente estudo contempla uma análise de dados secundários disponibilizados por instituições governamentais e não governamentais, com base nas principais atuações da Vale S.A., nos processos de extração mineral. Além disso, a pesquisa tem por objetivo demonstrar as ações e processos geopolíticos dos atores hegemônicos sobre as populações a partir de suas estratégias empresariais da empresa Vale S.A. na extração de carvão nas minas de Moatize e suas determinações territoriais.

Introdução: Devido à frequência e às inúmeras consequências dos incêndios florestais ao meio ambiente, a busca por meios economicamente viáveis de combate é desafiadora para órgãos públicos, principalmente em função da escassez da água. Objetivos: Descrever série histórica recente de incêndios florestais e apresentar evoluções implementadas em veículos operacionais para melhoria no combate. Material e métodos: A área de estudo corresponde a 16 municípios, no estado do Espírito Santo, região Sudeste do Brasil (19º23’28’’ a 19º41’12’’ de latitude Sul, e 40º4’20’’ a 41º11’3’’ de longitude Oeste de Greenwich, área total de 15.422 km²), jurisdição do 2° Batalhão de Bombeiros. Utilizaram-se dados de ocorrências reais atendidas entre 2015 e 2019. Por meio do software QGIS, para análise geográfica da área, elaboraram-se mapas temáticos (por gradação de cores) e hot spot (interpolação Kernel), afim de representar os locais mais impactados, que, em tese, poderiam ser priorizados em investimentos. Resultados: Com 2.364, os municípios de maior demanda foram Linhares (43,5%), Nova Venécia (22,4%) e Barra de São Francisco (12,4%). Já o período mais crítico se deu na primavera, entre os meses setembro e novembro (36,9%). Notou-se que os municípios Nova Venécia, Barra de São Francisco, Vilas Pavão e Valério encontram-se com áreas de adensamento próximas, possibilitando ações de auxílio mútuo. Em seguida, dois veículos operacionais são apresentados, evidenciando os avanços implementados para combate: Auto Bomba Tanque Salvamento (ABTS) e o Auto Urbano (AU) equipado com kit florestal (reservatório d’água, bomba e mangotinhos). Por critérios operacionais, devido ao seu peso inferior (25%) de 4 ton., maneabilidade de mangotinhos leves (5%), de 9 kg/100 m, maior alcance de combate padrão (100%), atingindo até 200 m, baixo consumo d’água (46%), de 52 l/min, e exigir menos operadores (33%), mínimo 1 pessoa, o kit florestal mostrou-se adaptado à atividade em múltiplos cenários (urbano ou rural), e também sustentável, comparado ao ABTS. Para este, exige-se, inclusive, maior tempo e cautela em deslocamentos. Todavia, em incêndios de grandes extensões todos são muito importantes para preservação do meio ambiente. Conclusão: Os resultados forneceram informações relevantes para estratégias viáveis e eficazes de gestão deste tipo de desastre, cada vez mais frequente.
