Voltage to Calcium Transformation Enhances Direction Selectivity inDrosophilaT4 Neurons
Authors: Mishra Abhishek , Serbe-Kamp Etienne , Borst Alexander , Haag Juergen
Published: February 2023

An important step in neural information processing is the transformation of membrane voltage into calcium signals leading to transmitter release. However, the effect of voltage to calcium transformation on neural responses to different sensory stimuli is not well understood. Here, we use in vivo two-photon imaging of genetically encoded voltage and calcium indicators, ArcLight and GCaMP6f, respectively, to measure responses in direction-selective T4 neurons of femaleDrosophila. Comparison between ArcLight and GCaMP6f signals reveals calcium signals to have a significantly higher direction selectivity compared with voltage signals. Using these recordings, we build a model which transforms T4 voltage responses into calcium responses. Using a cascade of thresholding, temporal filtering and a stationary nonlinearity, the model reproduces experimentally measured calcium responses across different visual stimuli. These findings provide a mechanistic underpinning of the voltage to calcium transformation and show how this processing step, in addition to synaptic mechanisms on the dendrites of T4 cells, enhances direction selectivity in the output signal of T4 neurons. Measuring the directional tuning of postsynaptic vertical system (VS)-cells with inputs from other cells blocked, we found that, indeed, it matches the one of the calcium signal in presynaptic T4 cells.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTThe transformation of voltage to calcium influx is an important step in the signaling cascade within a nerve cell. While this process has been intensely studied in the context of transmitter release mechanism, its consequences for information transmission and neural computation are unclear. Here, we measured both membrane voltage and cytosolic calcium levels in direction-selective cells ofDrosophilain response to a large set of visual stimuli. We found direction selectivity in the calcium signal to be significantly enhanced compared with membrane voltage through a nonlinear transformation of voltage to calcium. Our findings highlight the importance of an additional step in the signaling cascade for information processing within single nerve cells.
The Pandemic and the Long Shadow of Austerity in Southern Europe
Authors: Perez Sofia A.
Published: February 2023

Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal have suffered some of Europe’s worst health outcomes in the COVID-19 pandemic. The same countries also bore the brunt of the European sovereign debt crisis a decade earlier, when they were forced to undertake severe budget austerity measures in return for financial support from European institutions. Austerity left their economies and health care systems weakened when the pandemic arrived. Yet they were able to avoid another surge in unemployment, showing that some lessons were learned from the financial crisis.
How to Salvage Democracy: A Reading

Francis Fukuyama, Liberalism and Its Discontents (New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2022)

Stein Ringen, How Democracies Live: Power, Statecraft, and Freedom in Modern Societies (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2022)

Reviewing two recent books, Francis Fukuyama’s Liberalism and Its Discontents and Stein Ringen’s How Democracies Live: Power, Statecraft, and Freedom in Modern Societies, this article explores their respective diagnoses of the current crisis of democracy and their proposed solutions. It shows that, while similar in method and intent, the two works diverge on crucial analytical and policy issues. By putting them in conversation, and bringing out these telling differences, the article seeks to clarify the urgent questions that face Western democracies today and the challenges of addressing them.

Aberrant splicing is typically attributed to splice‐factor (SF) mutation and contributes to malignancies including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Here, we discovered a mutation‐independent means to extensively reprogram alternative splicing (AS). We showed that the dysregulated expression of eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF4E elevated selective splice‐factor production, thereby impacting multiple spliceosome complexes, including factors mutated in AML such as SF3B1 and U2AF1. These changes generated a splicing landscape that predominantly supported altered splice‐site selection for ~800 transcripts in cell lines and ~4,600 transcripts in specimens from high‐eIF4E AML patients otherwise harboring no known SF mutations. Nuclear RNA immunoprecipitations, export assays, polysome analyses, and mutational studies together revealed that eIF4E primarily increased SF production via its nuclear RNA export activity. By contrast, eIF4E dysregulation did not induce known SF mutations or alter spliceosome number. eIF4E interacted with the spliceosome and some pre‐mRNAs, suggesting its direct involvement in specific splicing events. eIF4E induced simultaneous effects on numerous SF proteins, resulting in a much larger range of splicing alterations than in the case of mutation or dysregulation of individual SFs and providing a novel paradigm for splicing control and dysregulation.

Published: February 2023

In human embryos, naive pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass (ICM) generate epiblast, primitive endoderm and trophectoderm (TE) lineages, whence trophoblast cells derive. In vitro, naive pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) retain this potential and efficiently generate trophoblast stem cells (TSCs), while conventional PSCs form TSCs at low efficiency. Transient histone deacetylase and MEK inhibition combined with LIF stimulation is used to chemically reset conventional to naive PSCs. Here, we report that chemical resetting induces the expression of both naive and TSC markers and of placental imprinted genes. A modified chemical resetting protocol allows for the fast and efficient conversion of conventional PSCs into TSCs, entailing shutdown of pluripotency genes and full activation of the trophoblast master regulators, without induction of amnion markers. Chemical resetting generates a plastic intermediate state, characterised by co‐expression of naive and TSC markers, after which cells steer towards one of the two fates in response to the signalling environment. The efficiency and rapidity of our system will be useful to study cell fate transitions and to generate models of placental disorders.

La posible reforma del Estatuto de Autonomía de Asturias ha generado bastante revuelo por la posible inclusión de una cláusula de reconocimiento del asturiano como lengua cooficial de la comunidad autónoma. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la plataforma TermAst como herramienta de compilación terminológica, pero también como eventual instrumento de apoyo lingüístico institucional, a través del análisis pormenorizado de su base de datos y de los protocolos de gestión y publicación de la misma gracias a una entrevista concedida por el responsable de la plataforma. De esta forma presentaremos los procedimientos de remisión, evaluación, revisión y publicación de las propuestas y expondremos las compilaciones a disposición en formato online. Finalmente, analizaremos las eventuales aplicaciones de la plataforma en función de la normativa lingüística en vigor y el papel que juegan los hablantes del asturiano para la recuperación de léxicos de especialidad en un momento en que la Academia de la Llingua Asturiana busca conformar un léxico normalizado sin demasiado respaldo institucional.
Effect of roller layout on biomass bales quality and baling energy consumption during rotary compression

Published: February 2023

Baling cellulosic biomass into round bales is an effective way to reduce the cost of storage and transportation. To improve the quality of bales and reduce the baling energy consumption, this paper introduces the steel roller layout parameters of the round baler into the biomass baling process. Alfalfa was used as an experimental material for five levels pitch value of roller circumferential layout baling experiments. The results showed that the introduction of chamber non-roundness (pitch value of roller circumferential layout) destroyed the formation of the entanglement high density ring cylindrical shell lamination of the outer layer of bales, which was beneficial to the compression of bales core material. When the pitch value was 30 mm, the maximum baling pressure, radial pressure transfer loss, and the baling energy consumption of baler were reduced by 30.4%, 33.4%, and 13.7%, respectively. When the pitch value was 60 mm, the relaxation ratio and radial density difference were reduced by 6.3% and 35.8%, respectively, and the radial density uniformity of alfalfa bale was increased by 32.0%. The experimental results provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the chamber structural optimization design of the round baler.
Uma bad trip pelo Brasil, com Richard Francis Burton
Authors: Dornelles Jonas Kunzler Moreira
Published: February 2023

O trabalho procura revisitar a obra Explorations of the highlands of Brazil. de Richard Francis Burton, considerando o contexto do ano 2021. Nesse livro o viajante visita diversas regiões, registrando costumes, aspectos econômicos e geográficos, ao longo dos anos de 1865-1868. O itinerário começa pela atenção do autor para com as estruturas de transporte no Brasil. A seguir encontramos dois paralelos contemporâneos: o racismo e a mineração. Considerando sua trágica atualidade, podemos pensar o livro como um registro do apogeu do pensamento colonial, que segue presente de maneiras disfarçadas em certos clichês sobre a brasilidade que se repetem ainda nos dias de hoje. Para concluir, sugerimos que mesmo pelo caminho das descrições da natureza, o livro de Richard Burton pode nos trazer a sensação desesperada que muitos brasileiros sentem dentro do atual contexto de pandemia e retrocesso.
Kontextabhängigkeit von Rechtsbegriffen als Übersetzungsproblem
Authors: Ďuricová Alena
Published: February 2023

The characteristic features of legal language are determined by its function, as well as by the relationship between legal language and its professional and lay users. The linguistic resources used in legal language should be unambiguous, precise, abstract, clear and comprehensible. At the lexical level are items of terminology, characterized by their systemic nature, conceptuality, precision, unambiguity and neutrality. Although legal language should be unambiguous and precise, in some cases legal terms are not used appropriately, necessitating clarification and explanation. The characteristic features of legal language, as well as issues of synonymy and homonymy in legal terminology, are crucial to the translation process, and they can also cause translation problems. This paper highlights the importance of appropriate choices of legal terms depending on the legal contexts in which they occur, as well as giving a practical account of translation problems.
Überlegungen zur Analyse von Ausdrucksmitteln der Emotionalität in Text und Film für Menschen mit Sehbehinderung am Beispiel der Komödie ‚Good Bye, Lenin!‛

Published: February 2023

This article explores the resources used for expressing emotionality in audio commentaries to films adapted for blind and visually impaired viewers. The subject of the study is the 2003 film Good Bye, Lenin! directed by Wolfgang Becker. Based on an analysis of three selected scenes from the film, which contain so-called audio descriptions, and from Bernd Lichtenberg’s screenplay, the analysis investigates how emotionality in the film is verbalised via audio descriptions, which means of expression are used, and whether (and to what extent) the language in the audio descriptions differs from the descriptions of the scenes in the screenplay.
FAKTOR-FAKTOR PENYEBAB KETERLAMBATAN PENYELESAIAN STUDI MAHASISWA PROGRAM STUDI JINAYAH SIYASAH UNIVERSITAS ISLAM NEGERI IMAM BONJOL PADANG
Authors: Yunita Masna
Published: February 2023

Ideally, with the SKS system, students will be able to complete their studies at the earliest within 7 (seven) semesters or 8 (eight) semesters. This is different from the case with Jinayah Siayah Study Program students who mostly complete their studies for more than 8 (eight) semesters and even up to 14 semesters. What is the real cause of the student being late in completing his studies? To get these answers, interviews were conducted with students from the class of 2012, 2013 and 2014 who were late in completing their studies. From the results of these interviews, it can be seen that the cause of the students themselves is that they still do not understand how to make research proposals and do not have research ideas. While the other cause is the length of the thesis guidance process, some even up to 2 years, the thesis guidance process is rarely under 9 (nine) months.

Published: February 2023

The issue of radicalism at this time has caused elements of society to try to prevent it. The Ministry of Religion in 2019 published the book Religious Moderation as a guide in carrying out and carrying out moderate religious orders. Universities under the Ministry of Religion also jointly carry out movements such as seminars, workshops and training for each element of higher education so that they become an indicator in the performance achievement of each level of office. The Tri Dharma of Higher Education also did not escape and participated in smoothing the moderation effort. Community service which is one of the Tdi Dharma Colleges participates in strengthening inclusive Islamic values for preachers and missionaries in West Sumatra. It is hoped that from this service, preachers and missionaries can understand religious moderation and become their mainstream in preaching among the people. From the service programs carried out, it can be seen that most of the preachers and missionaries understand religious moderation well. In connection with the results of a survey by the Ministry of Religion and equivalent to the Institute on the index of harmony and tolerance in West Sumatra which is below average, it is necessary to introspect and sit down with all stakeholders so that there will be changes in the future.
EFEKTIVITAS PELAKSANAAN ZAKAT SECARA ONLINE (STUDI BADAN AMIL ZAKAT NASIONAL KOTA PADANG)
Authors: Yati Fauzi , Rahmani Putri
Published: February 2023

This article looks at the effectiveness of online zakat implementation at the Padang City National Amil Zakat Agency (Baznas Padang City). This research was conducted because almost all sectors of life have been transformed into digitalization. Apart from the rapid technological advances, Covid-19 has also been forced to change. Padang City Baznas took part in this change by implementing a digitalization system in zakat receipts, as well as contracts made with muzakki that were not carried out directly. This article is a qualitative research. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document collection. The results of the study indicate that the digital services of the Padang City Baznas are divided into three forms, first, through Transfers via the Padang City Baznas Account; second, the Padang City Baznas Website; and third, Scan the QR Code. For the sake of the perfection of the system, the City of Padang Baznas utilizes social media to campaign for the community with various available platforms. Even though it was carried out in various ways, it was found that the implementation of online zakat in the Padang City Baznas had not been running effectively. This is proven based on the recapitulation of incoming zakat. The Padang City Baznas has not separated the zakat paid by muzakki online or offline. While this is important in the world of digitization as a form of transparency. Then, the ineffectiveness is caused by the uneven distribution of the internet network.

Published: February 2023

The polycrystalline SrTiO3 thin films were prepared by the sol-gel-hydrothermal method on glass substrates. The synthesis pathway was initiated by preparing a clear TiO2 solution using the sol-gel method. This clear solution was then deposited on a glass substrate using the dip coating technique, followed by the transformation of a thin layer of TiO2 into SrTiO3 by the hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, bond interactions, and band gap energy of SrTiO3 thin layers were characterized using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform Infra-Red spectroscopy (FTIR), and UV–Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy (UV-DRS). The XRD patterns of all SrTiO3 thin layers indicated the perovskite structure of the samples. The FTIR spectrum showed an interaction of the silanol groups on the surface of the glass substrate with Ti–O–Ti of SrTiO3 layers. The characteristics of the UV-DRS spectrum were influenced by the thickness of the SrTiO3 layer formed on the glass substrate. The findings of this work provide insights for producing SrTiO3 layers with specified thickness and morphology.
Philosophy of everyday life
Authors: Aucouturier Valérie
Published: February 2023

At Oxford University, in the context of WW2, when men were largely obliged to abandon the university benches to take part in the war effort, four women philosophers, Iris Murdoch (1919-1999), Mary Midgley (1919-2018), Elizabeth Anscombe (1919-2001) and Philippa Foot (1920-2010), formed a group of philosophical reflections that would become a competitor, after the war, to John L. Austin’s famous ‘Saturday Mornings’. At the heart of the concerns of this ‘wartime quartet’: putting the importance of being human back at the centre of ethics. They opposed “modern moral philosophy” and its many presuppositions, including the claim that ethical questions are independent of the facts of human life or concern a purely rational subject abstracted from everyday issues and from its belonging to the human species. By putting the importance of being human back at the heart of their ethical reflections, these philosophers came to reflect on issues that directly concern human life, far from the philosophical abstractions that interested their men homologues. In this paper, I explore the extent to which this re-inscription of philosophy into everyday life and into ordinary human concerns, opens the way to a feminist philosophy and ethics.
Numbers in Elementary Propositions
Authors: Nakano Anderson Luis
Published: February 2023

It is often held that Wittgenstein had to introduce numbers in elementary propositions due to problems related to the so-called colour-exclusion problem. I argue in this paper that he had other reasons for introducing them, reasons that arise from an investigation of the continuity of visual space and what Wittgenstein refers to as ‘intensional infinity’. In addition, I argue that the introduction of numbers by this route was prior to introducing them via the colour-exclusion problem. To conclude, I discuss two problems that Wittgenstein faced in the writings before Some Remarks on Logical Form (1929), problems that are independent of the colour-exclusion problem but dependent on the introduction of numbers in elementary propositions.

Three Metaphors Toward a Conception of Moral Change
Authors: Hämäläinen Nora
Published: February 2023

Contemporary moral philosophy is split between an inherently a-historical moral philosophy/theory on the one hand and a growing interest in moral history and the historicity of morality on the other. In between these, the very moments of moral change (and their implications for the possibility of moral realism and moral objectivity) are often left insufficiently attended to and under-theorized. Yet moral change is, arguably, one of the defining features of present day moral frameworks, and thus one of the main things we need to make sense of in moral philosophy. In this paper, I present an account of moral change through the use of three metaphors: the tipping point, the bargaining table and the strong rope. I suggest these as coordinates for the development of a full-blown, historically sensitive conception of morality.

ABSTRACT: This study is part of the Academic Literacy Project (2019-2022), a collaborative study carried out among four public universities in the State of Paraná. This paper aims at describing the academic-scientific literacy actions in the undergraduate courses of the Federal University of Technology - Paraná, by means of mapping the courses transcripts from Campus Curitiba. A mixed sequential exploratory method (TASHAKKORI; CRESWELL, 2007) was applied with interpretative, deductive, and inductive analysis procedures, considering the peculiarities of each course. At first, we built an inventory with keywords based on the conceptions of professional, academic, and scientific literacies. Next, an analysis of the content from the transcripts was carried out in the light of the theories and models of Academic Literacies (LEA; STREET, 1998; FIAD, 2011), named study skills, academic socialization, and academic literacies. Results indicate that there are few disciplines which offer the teaching of genre and, among the ones that do, focus on teaching of the study skills and academic socialization models.

RESUMEN: El tejido textual corresponde a una revisión crítica, cuya primera versión basó los análisis y discusiones relacionadas con experiencias de campo producidas en una investigación cualitativa (SÁNCHEZ MOLANO, 2020) en instituciones escolares de la periferia de una metrópoli latinoamericana. En el recorrido del texto nos acompañarán las Epistemologías del Sur, cuyas ideas principales darán consistencia al hilo argumental, en relación con proposiciones sobre ciencias contrahegemónicas, ciencias contemporáneas, ambientalismo latinoamericano y a la noción de ecología de saberes, así como a las enseñanzas de las ciencias que pueden anclarse en estas proposiciones. Se avanza en la comprensión de la práctica científica desde los postulados del pragmatismo epistemológico y el pluralismo metodológico, que serían complementarios a perspectivas educativas inspiradas en la interculturalidad crítica y en la educación ambiental insurgente. Con base en lo anterior, se proponen actualizaciones nomenclaturales en el campo de las enseñanzas de las ciencias, más acordes con perspectivas emancipatorias que se proyectan desde América Latina.

As fontes primárias foram obtidas por meio da observação participante nas reuniões realizadas no CMS-M, e as fontes secundárias, mediante análise de documentos públicos, especialmente ‘pautas’ e ‘atas’ produzidas. Tal método está vinculado a um modelo de análise próprio, concebido no escopo deste artigo. Como resultados, foram constatadas: efetiva participação dos conselheiros no processo deliberativo; regras institucionais restritivas à participação da sociedade na apresentação de demandas e denúncias; forte influência da gestão municipal no processo decisório do conselho; e baixa resposta do poder público municipal no cumprimento das deliberações produzidas no CMS-M.
Public participation in health and COVID-19 in Portugal
Authors: Matos Ana Raquel , Craveiro Isabel
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT In the last decades, public participation in decision-making processes has been an ongoing theme, assuming more or less centrality, within the political agendas in several democratic contexts around the world. In the health domain, public participation has been considered a political strategy with the potential of ensuring greater co-responsibility among the actors involved, as well as to increase health services’ transparency, thus being emphasized as one of the best practices that should be implemented towards the quality of decisions, especially those oriented to the real health problems of the populations. The COVID-19 pandemic brought additional pressures to health systems, constituting itself as a conducive context to the analysis of citizen participation in health decision-making processes. This essay presents an exploratory analysis on the evolution of citizen participation practices in health policies in Portugal, highlighting some of its current and future challenges. The present analysis aims to understand how the pandemic resonated in the way in which participation in the health domain had been carried out in the country, assessing whether, in a singular global period of crisis, the pandemic as a collective problem expanded or contracted these participatory practices.

Published: February 2023

RESUMO A gestão participativa, embora instituída nas normativas de constituição do Sistema Único de Saúde, ainda encontra desafios para efetivação em âmbito local, especialmente em territórios urbanos marcados por violência e pobreza. O ensaio objetivou apresentar e discutir aspectos de uma experiência de gestão participativa em um território vulnerável, mediada pela Atenção Primária à Saúde. Essa experiência de cogestão da saúde foi desenvolvida entre 2009 e 2013 em Manguinhos, no município do Rio de Janeiro. A partir do relato de gestores e de materiais técnicos produzidos, analisou-se a implementação de estratégias, tais como a mobilização para criação de um conselho gestor intersetorial local e aquelas de informação, educação e comunicação em saúde suportadas por apoiadores institucionais e pelas equipes de saúde da família. Concluiu-se que práticas gerenciais e sanitárias democráticas podem ser desenvolvidas por meio de tecnologias sociais, que valorizem a gestão participativa e compartilhada entre trabalhadores-usuários-gestão.
Participative management in Primary Health Care: an essay on an experience in a vulnerable urban territory
Authors: Engstrom Elyne Montenegro , Silva Vanessa Costa e
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Participatory management, although instituted in the norms of the constitution of the Brazilian Universal Health System (SUS), still faces challenges to be effective in practice at a local level, especially in complex urban territories, aiming at community strengthening and social participation. This essay aims to present and discuss aspects of a participatory management experience in a vulnerable territory, mediated by Primary Health Care. This experience of health co-management was developed between 2009 and 2013 in Manguinhos, a municipality of Rio de Janeiro. From the managers’ reports and the technical materials produced, the implementation of strategies analyzed were the mobilization to create a local intersectoral management council and those of information, education, and communication in health supported by institutional supporters and by the family health teams. We concluded that democratic managerial and sanitary practices can be developed through social technologies, which value participative and shared management among workers-users-management.
Challenges in the methodological path of building the Institutional Accreditation process for SUS ombudpersons

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT This paper aims to reflect on the theoretical and practical challenges in the methodological path of building the Institutional Accreditation process of the Unified Health System (SUS) ombudspersons, developing teaching materials, and the dynamics of fundamental interactions between the stakeholders involved. It discusses the trajectory of a working partnership between a team of researchers and a department of the Ministry of Health, which aims to theoretically and methodologically support the actions of the sector working on the principal participation and social control topics and, in particular, the ombudspersons, generating evidence for management decision-making. The authors present the challenges in partnership and the process and discuss from a methodological, reflective, and participatory viewpoint, presenting ideas and concepts that have evolved and govern the pedagogical materials prepared for the instrumentalization of the Institutional Accreditation process of SUS ombudspersons as a theoretical-practical framework. The authors conclude that adopting a challenging constructivist method is a healthy effort for self-improvement and guarantee of the affirmation of democratic values, effective in the constant search for the qualification of the actions of the ombudspersons, research activity, management practice, and services and public policies.

RESUMO Objetivou-se construir Práticas Colaborativas Interprofissionais (PCI) e avaliá-las sob a perspectiva de docentes e discentes de cursos da área da saúde de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES) federal e de uma equipe de Saúde da Família (eSF). Realizou-se pesquisa-ação, com abordagem qualitativa, em um território de uma eSF de uma capital do Nordeste, visando à construção de PCI em prol da saúde da criança. Esta envolveu 15 participantes: profissionais da eSF; docentes e discentes dos cursos de enfermagem, odontologia e nutrição de uma IES. Efetuaram-se três etapas: diagnóstico sobre educação interprofissional e PCI a partir de entrevistas; planejamento e realização de ações de saúde da criança; avaliação mediante grupo focal. As entrevistas e o grupo focal foram gravados, transcritos, e interpretados pela análise temática. A intervenção favoreceu reencontro entre os sujeitos, troca de experiência e aprendizado coletivo, e reconhecimento de papéis, constituindo-se em espaço dialógico e participativo de produção de saberes e fazeres. A ação só foi possível pela intencionalidade envolvida em seu planejamento, e o desenvolvimento das ações foi permeado de escuta e criação em torno da saúde da criança nesse território.

RESUMO Trata-se de um estudo do tipo pesquisa-ação, de caráter analítico, com abordagem qualitativa na coleta e análise dos dados. Teve como objetivo construir, com os profissionais da equipe de Saúde da Família de um município da região metropolitana do Recife, estratégias de enfrentamento do abuso sexual contra crianças. O Círculo de Cultura foi utilizado como a técnica de coleta e intervenção, na qual foram realizados cinco encontros. Os resultados foram analisados por meio da Análise de Conteúdo, sendo divididos em quatro blocos, que discutem: 1. Conceito do abuso sexual contra crianças; 2. Estratégias de prevenção dos casos de abuso sexual contra crianças; 3. Como intervir diante dos casos suspeitos e/ou confirmados de abuso sexual contra crianças presentes no território; e 4. Construindo estratégias de enfrentamento do abuso sexual contra crianças. Conclui-se este estudo afirmando que ainda é grande a necessidade em trabalhar essa temática com as equipes de Saúde da Família visto que a maioria dos profissionais nunca havia participado de um encontro sobre esse assunto. Consequentemente, percebem-se diversas fragilidades no conhecimento destes. Ademais, é importante fortalecer a educação permanente, visando à continuidade das discussões sobre essa e outras temáticas inerentes à prática profissional dos trabalhadores.

Published: February 2023

RESUMO Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo, com abordagem etnográfica realizado com 15 profissionais de saúde do sistema prisional, por meio de entrevistas semi-estruturadas, organizadas e tratadas pelo software Nvivo 12, e efetuada análise de conteúdo na modalidade análise temática. A pesquisa relevou três categorias temáticas: ‘Os cuidados cotidianos à criança na prisão’; ‘Os cuidados de manutenção nas intercorrências infantis’; e ‘Os desafios para prestação dos cuidados à criança no cárcere’. Na prisão, portanto, o cuidado à criança se torna um desafio para o profissional de saúde, devido à falta de estrutura física, à escassez de insumos materiais, ambiente de violência e à tensão que influenciam na prestação do cuidado integral à criança que vive no contexto do cárcere materno. Por isso, faz-se necessária a implementação da Política Nacional de Atenção à Saúde da Criança no Sistema Único de Saúde com desenvolvimento de ações que favoreçam a melhoria do cuidado à criança em consonância com a Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde das Pessoas Privadas de Liberdade no Sistema Prisional.

ABSTRACT: The production of artisanal cheeses made with raw bovine milk has grown in the southern region of Brazil. It is important to obtain information about the risks of this practice, especially concerning food safety. In this study, next-generation sequencing was used to identify and characterize the bacterial communities of artisanal raw milk cheeses. We analyzed one pool of five raw milk samples (control group M1) from different dairy farms and nine pools (M2-M10) of 45 artisanal raw milk cheeses.The characterization of the bacterial communities included 199 species distributed across 59 different genera dispersed among the samples. Among the genera observed, 11 were classified as beneficial to the aroma, flavour, colour, and texture of the cheese. Thirty-one genera were classified as harmful to these characteristics. Another 17 were classified as potential pathogens for animals and humans, including Aeromonas, Bacillus, Cronobacter, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, and bacteria of the coliform group, including E. coli and Klebsiella. There was a significant difference (P < 0.05) in the number of bacterial communities identified between the control group (M1) and the two pools of artisanal raw milk cheeses (M2 and M8). This study demonstrated that next-generation sequencing provides in-depth information on the composition of the microbiota in artisanal raw milk cheeses, characterizing bacterial communities, identifying the wide microbial diversity, and identifying microbial benefits and risks.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: Recent research on the probability of increasing physical injuries during physical activities revealed that resistance training can improve physical performance of college students, prevent sports injuries and reduce the body fat rate of its practitioners. Objective: Analyze the effects of resistance training on the body index of university students. Methods: One hundred female college students were selected as experimenters to ensure normal activities for 16 weeks. The experimenter performed resistance training for 16 weeks, three times a week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with three cycles each time. Results: After 16 weeks of experimental intervention, the average chest circumference, average waist circumference, average hip circumference, and average leg circumference of the experimental group were 83.27cm, 63.1cm, 89.95cm, 54.6cm, and 24.02%, respectively. After the experiment, the average back muscle strength of the experimental group increased by 5.11kg, and the average basal metabolism increased from 1204.4 kcal to 1260.59 kcal. Conclusion: Resistance training and aerobic exercise have the most significant effect on body fat rate. Resistance training can control the decline of body fat rate in college students to improve their physical quality. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Intermittent training can effectively promote better physical and psychological quality in athletes. Due to the great increase in aerobic gymnastics practice, interval training has also been gradually considered in the daily training of aerobic sports practitioners. Objective: Study the effects of the interference of high-intensity interval training interventions on strength quality and other physical indicators related to aerobic specialties. Methods: 25 subjects participated in the experimental group, and 25 participated in the control group. The participants had 12 weeks of training, with one hour of physical training on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. The training mode of the subjects in the experimental group was interval training, while the training mode of the subjects in the control group was daily training. Results: The results of long jump, push-up, 100m run, and 30m round-trip run in the experimental group increased by 17.59%, 23.63%, 17.83%, and 23.98%, respectively. Conclusion: Aerobic gymnastic athletes' physical quality can improve through high-intensity interval training. Thus, if the teaching method of intermittent training can be combined within a given period of classroom training, it will enable an efficient and diversified training method for teaching aerobic gymnastics more innovatively and diversely.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Following the development of ice and snow sports tourism projects, the hidden dangers of early extensive construction have gradually emerged. It mainly manifests itself in the sports safety of ice and snow sports tourism projects. Objective: Explore the management strategy of sports safety under the snow and ice sports tourism landscape. Methods: Literature research, interviews, and questionnaires were used to analyze the development in the study area of ice and snow tourism, the tourists themselves, and regional site construction. Finally, the paper analyzes strategies to improve sports safety management in related areas from the landscape manager's point of view. Results: The development of snow and ice sports tourism projects in the study area is satisfactory; however, due to the epidemic's impact, the current situation is relatively low, showing a trend of slow improvement. In terms of sports injury risk, after optimal training and safety management, the proportion of climatic characteristics of the site was 24.81%; the proportion of the population on the ski slopes was 40.92%; the proportion of equipment cleaning and maintenance was 59.23%; the degree of congestion on the ski slopes was 41.30%; the proportion of public safety was 34.42%; the proportion of basic emergency medical treatment was 32.30%; epidemics and other infectious diseases accounted for 83.13% of the total. Follow-up is done before the start, in the process, and after the occurrence of multiple managements. Conclusion: The safety management strategy of snow and ice sports tourism combines the factors of tourists and managers, and has great practical significance, so it is worthy of promotion.
