Participant-Making: bridging the gulf between community knowledge and academic research
Authors: Light Ann , Egglestone Paul , Wakeford Tom , Rogers Jon
Published: August 2021

Too often in social research for design, academic knowledge is privileged at the expense of other knowledge and ways of knowing, although by overlooking insights from other participants this academic meaning-making may be wasteful and/or damaging to relations. In this paper, we describe a project that focuses on establishing academic/community relations to look at how knowledge issues are handled in setting up participative projects. We touch on the ethics of the ‘informed consent’ required for the ethics approval process and that of generating and sharing project outcomes in a way that reflects team membership, considering how to share credit, encourage diverse opinion and ensure some value in participating for all participants. Since a key outcome of the study is intended to be policy recommendations as to how to involve community groups in research projects, we take a highly reflexive approach. We reflect here on how we, as academic researchers, became participants and what we made available to our partners in research to do the same.

Published: August 2021

Matched sets of clear specimens of poplar and pine wood were treated with 3, 5, and 8% (v/v) aqueous solutions of slow pyrolysis acid (PA) derived from date palm waste, to evaluate the effectiveness of PA in controlling mold growth on species of wood. Chemical compounds available in PA were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis. Treated and control specimens were contaminated with Aspergillus sp., then incubated in accordance to AWPA E24 (2017). Percentages of occupied surface by mold on each of control and treated specimen with respect to its total surface were evaluated by Image-J software. Comparisons of mean values of these determined ratios and physical examinations showed that, depending on species, the 5 and 8% water solutions of PA prohibited Aspergillus growth on tested woods. Experiments were also conducted on a matched set of small clear specimens of beech wood, impregnated by 3, 5, and 8% water solutions (v/v) of PA, using full-cell process and contaminated with decay fungus (Trametes versicolor), then incubated. Specifications of the EN 113 (1996) standard were followed. Weight loss was applied for comparing control and treated specimens. Average values of weight losses indicated that the 5% solution was effective, but 8% solution presented a better result.

Authors: Madsen Nicolas L. , Porter Andrew , Cable Rhonda , Hanke Samuel P. , Hoerst Amanda , Neogi Smriti , Brower Laura H. , White Christine M. , Statile Angela M.
Published: August 2021

BACKGROUND

Hospital discharge delays can negatively affect patient flow and hospital charges. Our primary aim was to increase the percentage of acute care cardiology patients discharged within 2 hours of meeting standardized medically ready (MedR) discharge criteria. Secondary aims were to reduce length of stay (LOS) and lower hospital charges.

METHODS

A multidisciplinary team used quality improvement methods to implement and study MedR discharge criteria in our hospital electronic health record. The criteria were ordered on admission and modified on daily rounds. Bedside nurses documented the time when all MedR discharge criteria were met. A statistical process control chart measured interventions over time. Discharge before noon and 30-day readmissions were also tracked. Average LOS was examined, comparing the first 6 months of the intervention period to the last 6 months. Inpatient charges were reviewed for patients with >2 hours MedR discharge delay.

RESULTS

The mean percentage of patients discharged within 2 hours of meeting MedR discharge criteria increased from 20% to 78% over 22 months, with more patients discharged before noon (19%–32%). Median LOS decreased from 11 days (interquartile range: 6–21) to 10 days (interquartile range: 5–19) (P = .047), whereas 30-day readmission remained stable at 16.3%. A total of 265 delayed MedR discharges beyond 2 hours occurred. The sum of inpatient charges from care provided after meeting MedR criteria was $332 038 (average $1253 per delayed discharge).

CONCLUSIONS

Discharge timeliness in pediatric acute care cardiology patients can be improved by standardizing medical discharge criteria, which may shorten LOS and decrease medical charges.
Infant Deaths From Medical Causes After a Maltreatment Report
Authors: Schneiderman Janet U. , Prindle John , Putnam-Hornstein Emily
Published: August 2021

OBJECTIVES

To examine whether postneonatal infants reported for maltreatment face a heightened risk of deaths attributable to medical causes.

METHODS

Birth and death records for all children born in California between 2010 and 2016 (N = 3 455 985) were linked to administrative child protection system records. Infants were prospectively followed from birth through death or age 1 year. Reports of maltreatment and foster care placement episodes were modeled as time-varying covariates; sociodemographic characteristics at birth were modeled as baseline covariates. Stratified, multivariable competing risk models were used to estimate the adjusted relative hazard of postneonatal infant death attributed to a medical cause (n = 1051).

RESULTS

After adjusting for baseline risk factors, and compared with infants never reported for maltreatment, the medical-related mortality risk was almost twice as great among infants reported once for maltreatment (hazard ratio: 1.77; 95% confidence interval: 1.36–2.30) and 3 times greater if there was >1 maltreatment report (hazard ratio: 3.27; 95% confidence interval: 2.48, 4.30). Among infants reported for maltreatment, periods of foster care placement reduced the risk of death by roughly half.

CONCLUSION

Infants reported for alleged maltreatment had a higher risk of death from medical causes, with foster care emerging as protective. Targeted support services for parents and improved communication between the child protection system and the pediatric health care community is needed, especially when infants who may be medically fragile remain at home after an allegation of abuse or neglect.

Leukodystrophies are a group of genetically determined disorders that affect development or maintenance of central nervous system myelin. Leukodystrophies have an incidence of at least 1 in 4700 live births and significant morbidity and elevated risk of early death. This report includes a discussion of the types of leukodystrophies; their prevalence, clinical presentation, symptoms, and diagnosis; and current and future treatments. Leukodystrophies can present at any age from infancy to adulthood, with variability in disease progression and clinical presentation, ranging from developmental delay to seizures to spasticity. Diagnosis is based on a combination of history, examination, and radiologic and laboratory findings, including genetic testing. Although there are few cures, there are significant opportunities for care and improvements in patient well-being. Rapid advances in imaging and diagnosis, the emergence of and requirement for timely treatments, and the addition of leukodystrophy screening to newborn screening, make an understanding of the leukodystrophies necessary for pediatricians and other care providers for children.
Soberanía, decisión y ocasión

This article addresses the problem of translation based on the topics of occasionalism and decision. It shows, in particular, that in the experience of translation the decision does not refer to a sovereign subject but to a subject that is placed in parentheses. For this reason, the theory of translation is also a critical theory of the subject.
Acerca del carácter metafísico de la Lógica de Hegel
Authors: Parra Andrés
Published: August 2021

Ante el dilema de si la Lógica de Hegel debe entenderse como una ontología o como una continuación del proyecto kantiano de la lógica trascendental, el artículo sostiene que no es propiamente una ontología, ni un análisis de conceptos y categorías subjetivas. Su vocación metafísica se basa en el postulado según el cual la reflexión del pensamiento sobre sí mismo tiene consecuencias para la comprensión del ser de lo que no es pensamiento, de modo que resulta ser un proyecto novedoso de ontología mediada por la autorreflexión del pensar.
Faculty development in the context of a research-intensive university
Authors: Geertsema Johan
Published: August 2021

Contexts, knowledge, and theory matter for faculty development (also known as staff, academic, or educational development) because of the complexity of higher education and therefore of faculty professional development. This paper attempts to unpack this complexity by examining higher education contexts more closely, in particular: academic identity in relation to research and the discipline, change management in higher education, and the importance to academic development of valuing teaching in a coherent, integrated, and holistic way. The paper is framed by two ‘big ideas’, that of pedagogical content knowledge (Shulman, 1986, 1987), and that of learning as acquisition and participation (Sfard, 1998). I end by providing examples of practice underpinned by these ideas and considering implications for academic development.

Authors: SAZONETS O.
Published: August 2021

The purpose of the article is to study the information aspects of the activities of a motor transport enterprise, to build a communication network within the enterprise, which seeks to fully satisfy the needs of society for the transportation of goods and passengers. Methodology. The study was carried out using graph theory - one of the major branches of discrete mathematics, which is widely used in solving economic and management problems. Using these methods, the minimum path in the information network is found. Results. The quality and timeliness of information coming in the forward and backward directions determines the quality of management of individual objects of the road transport system, as well as the possibility of its coordinated functioning in order to fully satisfy the needs of society for the transportation of goods and passengers. The article examines the introduction of information technologies in transport, which are used at all stages of receiving, storing, processing and transmitting information, should fully ensure the timeliness and high quality of information support when making managerial decisions at all levels of the transport system. The general principles of the construction and functioning of motor transport systems are analyzed through the prism of the information procedures implemented in them and the emerging information flows. It has been established that most of the total volume of information processed in a company can be information necessary for the management and control of logistics operations. Since the road transport system is geographically distributed, a modern specialist must master the methods of spatial analysis based on geoinformation technologies. The development of the information and communication infrastructure of a new transport company, which plans to carry out the transportation of goods by road, has been investigated. The company will provide services such as cargo transportation, freight forwarding services, cargo tracking, cargo insurance, settlement of cargo deliveries, cargo unloading and loading. For the optimal placement of the company's network, graph theory is used. An optimal communication network has been built, connecting various departments of the company, namely, the transportation department, the office, the accounting department, the economic planning department, the legal department, the mechanical department, the communications department, and the personnel department. The scientific novelty of the article is the use of the method for constructing an optimal communication network at a trucking company. The practical significance of the work is that this method can be used at any transport company that begins its activity to build communication links between any departments of the company. In this case, these connections will be optimal.

Authors: Koreshnikova Yu. N. , Froumin I. D. , Pashchenko T. V.
Published: August 2021

Labor market trends estimation shows that there is an increasing number of professions in which universal competencies are valued, including critical thinking. This paper presents a theoretical framework, which makes it possible to assess the organizational and pedagogical conditions for the development of critical thinking, and analyzes these conditions in Russian universities. To collect data, we used the method of semi-structured interviews with teachers (18 people), with representatives of the administration (10 people) of Russian universities, and with one of the authors of Federal State Standards for Higher Education (current version). The results show that today in Russia, despite the requirements of the standards, not all universities have conditions for the development of critical thinking among all students. Three types of universities can be distinguished: 1) universities that create conditions for the development of critical thinking among all students; 2) universities whose conditions allow to develop critical thinking only for individual students; 3) universities that do not create conditions for the development of students’ critical thinking at all.

Published: August 2021

Abstract The fruit growing activity is of great importance for Brazilian agribusiness as the country is the third largest fruit producer in the world. Despite this notability, the fruit market presents obstacles especially related to international trade. Thus, the present study sought to determine the positioning and evolution of Brazil in the international fresh fruit market. Data used in the research were obtained from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) (1986 to 2017) and the World Bank (2018), using metrics of export flow, quantity and income of countries related to the main fruits exported by Brazil in the first quarter of 2020. Data were manipulated, transformed into figures and graphs for better visualization of information. The Brazilian position in the in the ranking of fresh fruit exports was not very dynamic during the evaluation period, being dependent on the demand from high-income European countries.
Non-destructive simple model to estimate the leaf area through midvein in cultivars of Vitis vinifera
Authors: Junges Amanda Heemann , Anzanello Rafael
Published: August 2021

Abstract Mathematical models are indirect and non-destructive methods for estimating the leaf area (LA), an important parameter associated with canopy vigor in Vitis viniferavineyards. This work aims to adjust and test mathematical models for estimating LA using the midvein length of the Vitis vinifera cultivars conducted in horizontal and vertical training systems in the Serra Gaúcha region, Brazil. Leaves were collected in ‘Chardonnay’, ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’ vineyards conducted in trellis and lyre training systems, and in ‘Merlot’ vineyards conducted in trellis and espalier systems. Models were tested for establishing the correlations among the parameters LA and midvein length, considering the cultivar/training system and the general data set. For validation, linear regression between the observed and estimated LA was defined. The relationship between the midvein length and LA was defined by non-linear potential equations (R2aj 0.95-0.98). The performances of the specific and general models were similar regardless of the cultivar/training system. The adjusted models showed excellent results in the validation step (correlation 0.95-0.98; Wilmott index >0.97 and confidence index>0.92). It is possible to estimate the LA of Vitis vinifera Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot cultivars using a simple non-destructive model that employs one single measurement of the leaf blade, to optimize the vegetative canopy quantification in vineyards.

RESUMO Este estudo objetivou descrever a experiência do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos da América (EUA) em relação aos dados de morbimortalidade por Covid-19, segundo a raça/cor/etnia. Para isso, procurou-se descrever os fatores envolvidos no tratamento e divulgação dos dados de morbimortalidade por essa patologia nos dois países. Foram analisados boletins epidemiológicos divulgados pelo Ministério da Saúde, resultados parciais da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostra de Domicílio (PNAD) Covid-19 realizada pelo Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) no Brasil e o estado da arte em saúde sobre os impactos da pandemia nos EUA, sob a perspectiva de raça/cor/etnia. Apesar da baixa qualidade da informação em saúde referente à morbimortalidade da população negra por Covid-19, os resultados desvelam iniquidades raciais em saúde para essa doença, ratificando o racismo estrutural/institucional em ambos os países. Como contribuição, enfatiza-se a necessidade de qualificar os dados sobre raça/cor/etnia, relacionando-os com idade, local de moradia, tipo de residência, acesso a saneamento básico, ocupação, entre outros determinantes sociais que, sabidamente, impactam no modo de adoecer e morrer pela Covid-19, a fim de viabilizar estratégias e políticas públicas verdadeiramente promotoras da equidade.
How limitations in data of health surveillance impact decision making in the Covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Villela Daniel Antunes Maciel
Published: August 2021

ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic signaled an alert to all countries about controlling transmission of SARS-CoV-2 to have fewer infected individuals, causing less stress to all health systems, and saving lives. As a result, multiple governments, including national and local levels of government, went through several degrees of social distancing measures. The decision process regarding the flexibilization of social distancing measures requires evidence of incidence decrease, available capacity in the health systems to absorb eventual epidemic waves, and serological prevalence studies designed to estimate the proportion of individuals with antibody protection. The trend criterium usually given by the effective reproduction number might be misguided if there are significant delays for reporting cases. For instance, the reproduction number for Niterói, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, went down from a value of approximately 3 to little more than 1. Even with all measures, the reproduction number did not get below R<1, which would demonstrate a more controlled scenario. Finally, a prediction method permits adjusting the notification delay and analyzing the current status of the epidemics.

RESUMO Em março/2020, a Organização Mundial da Saúde emitiu a declaração de pandemia, em decorrência da disseminação do vírus SARS-CoV-2, disparando o alerta mundial sobre a necessidade de rápida expansão da capacidade de vigilância, prevenção e implementação das estruturas de assistência dos sistemas de saúde dos países. No dia seguinte à declaração do Ministério da Saúde que reconheceu a transmissão comunitária no Brasil, um grupo de pesquisadores foi convidado a reunir evidências científicas e melhores práticas de Saúde Mental e Atenção Psicossocial (SMAPS) na Covid-19. Foram selecionados 1.563 artigos que se referiam à saúde mental e/ou atenção psicossocial em contextos de emergências sanitárias. Participaram pesquisadores, docentes e voluntários de 25 instituições reconhecidas pelo notório saber, totalizando um montante de 117 profissionais voluntários. Optou-se por conformar um curso nacional na modalidade de Educação a Distância. Ao todo, 60.780 profissionais ingressaram no curso nos primeiros 30 dias de inscrição. A modelagem on-line, síncrona e assíncrona, possibilitou a formação durante o período de distanciamento social, assim como permitiu que profissionais de todos os estados, e do Distrito Federal, pudessem ter acesso a informações atualizadas e baseadas em pesquisas nacionais e internacionais, buscando garantir o fortalecimento das ações no âmbito das políticas de saúde, e com base nos protocolos internacionais.

ABSTRACT: The present research evaluated muscle activation degrees and relaxation of patrolling horses submitted to dynamic mobilization exercises, associated or not with acupuncture. Twelve mixed breed gelding, aged 10 ± 2.0 years, were distributed in three treatments. Treatment with a single session of dynamic mobilization exercises (longitudinal cervical flexion of head between hooves, between carpus and to up to chest); treatment with a single acupuncture session during 20 minutes, and treatment with a single session of dynamic mobilization exercises with acupuncture. Thermographic images were analyzed before and after applying treatments to the cervical, thoracic, dorsal, abdominal and pelvic regions. Animal behavior was assessed through five minutes filming, before and ten minutes after the end of each treatment application, in an uninterrupted way. Increase in animals body temperature at the end of the single session of functional exercises (P < 0.0001) at all animal regions were reported, being cervical and thoracic areas with highest final temperature values. There was no temperature variation for other treatments (P > 0.05). All treatments stimulated higher expression frequency (P < 0.05) of relaxation behaviors. A single dynamic mobilization exercises session is enough to promote intense muscular response in entire horse body; and with acupuncture, individually or associated, promoted muscle and mental relaxation, interfering positively in animal welfare.

ABSTRACT: Anticarsia gemmatalis (Hübner: 1818) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) is one of the main pests that affect soybean crops, causing defoliation. In the vegetative stages, defoliation occurs together with weeds, and in the reproductive stages with pathogens. In this sense, to maintain plant health, it is necessary to carry out the combined use of pesticides. Thus, this research determined the compatibility of the entomopathogenic virus AgMNPV with the main herbicides and fungicides used in soy at different times of the mixture. The artificial diet was immersed in the solutions of the pesticides and their mixtures and supplied to A. gemmatalis caterpillars, immediately and after one and two hours of mixing. The evaluation was performed by quantifying the number of dead caterpillars by mixing the AgMNPV virus with herbicides and fungicides, even after two hours of mixing if compatible. The observed scenarios showed a compatibility of the virus with the herbicides and fungicides, with mortality rates between 70 to 99% for A. gemmatalis.

ABSTRACT: This research valorized Pachira aquatica Aubl.’s fruit shells (PAS) through its energetic characterization and flash pyrolysis for biofuels or chemicals production. The characterization was performed through proximate and ultimate analysis, bulk density, higher heating value (HHV), hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin content, thermogravimetric analysis and absorption spectra in the infrared region obtained by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy technique (FTIR). The analytical flash pyrolysis was performed at 500°C in a Py-5200 HP-R coupled to a gas chromatograph (Py-GC/MS). The PAS biomass presents potential for thermochemical energy conversion processes due to its low moisture and ash content, 76.90% of volatile matter, bulk density of 252.6 kg/m3 and HHV of 16.24 MJ/kg. Flash pyrolysis products are mostly phenols or light organic acids derived from the decomposition of polysaccharides. Results confirmed the potential of PAS to produce bio-phenolics, such as 4-methoxyphenol which is an important active ingredient for skin depigmentation used in drugs and cosmetics, and as phenolic extract that can be used as a precursor to resins, applications that convert this forest waste into bio products for industry into a green circular economy.

ABSTRACT: The downer cow syndrome (DCS) is characterized by an alert cow showing inability or reluctance to stand for 12 hours or more. This paper reported clinical, laboratory, and pathological findings in a Guzerá heifer with rhabdomyolysis, pigmenturia and acute renal failure following DCS. A 17-month-old Guzerá heifer was transported via a 350-km ride in a truck and showed sternal recumbency and severe difficulty in standing and walking. Neurological examination was unremarkable, and the heifer presented normal response to cranial nerves and spinal cord tests. Rectal palpation revealed a 5-month gravid uterus. No other abnormalities were noted in the pelvis or around the coxofemoral joints. Biochemical abnormalities included extremely high muscular enzyme activities (creatine phosphokinase and aspartate aminotransferase) and high creatinine levels. Urinalysis revealed blackish and cloudy urine, proteinuria, and a positive occult blood test. Spinal cord ultrasonography showed no abnormalities. This report highlighted an uncommon clinical presentation (myoglobinuria) and pathological findings in a heifer with DCS as a consequence of severe compressive muscle damage. Practitioners and producers must be aware of the risk of careless road transportation for long distances of cattle, especially obese cows, avoiding unnecessary suffering and expenses due to DCS.
Colonialidade e decolonialidade na crítica ao racismo e às violações: para refletir sobre os desafios educação em direitos humanos

Published: August 2021

RESUMO Este artigo parte da reflexão dos efeitos da colonialidade na reprodução da desigualdade e das violências num contexto de ruptura do pacto social e de ameaça à democracia no Brasil. A partir de uma concepção crítica e decolonial em direitos humanos, busca-se relacionar o aprofundamento da desigualdade social, étnico-racial e de gênero, com a colonialidade que age nas instâncias do ser, do saber e do poder e, nessa lógica, conduz as estruturas e sistemas de poder. Por meio de uma pesquisa teórica sobre colonialidade, decolonialidade e desigualdade, são indicados desafios centrais que reposicionam o papel histórico da sociedade civil, das formas de resistência, das lutas sociais, na materialização dos direitos humanos, na direção emancipatória.
Educação do corpo: apontamentos para a historicidade de uma noção
Authors: Soares Carmen Lucia
Published: August 2021

RESUMO O texto parte da hipótese de que, em uma longa duração, uma educação do corpo é lentamente elaborada por diferentes sujeitos e instituições, com a finalidade de criar gestos comuns, usos comuns do corpo voltados ao cuidado de si, de sua aparência e, mais amplamente, da proteção de suas próprias forças. Trata-se, assim, de um tipo de educação que, neste tempo longo, produz, seja de forma silenciosa, seja de forma eloquente, conselhos, prescrições, normas voltadas ao corpo, constituindo, assim, processos educativos. O texto examina e analisa alguns desses processos educativos capturados em traços no conjunto de fontes constituído por textos religiosos, tratados de pintura, romance, tratados de boas maneiras e de civilidade produzidos entre o século XII e XVIII. Para os propósitos e o espaço deste texto, a breve análise realizada demonstra a existência de uma abundância de referências ao corpo e aos gestos nesses registros e constitui, sem dúvida, um bom ponto de partida para esboçar apontamentos acerca da historicidade da noção educação do corpo.
Na trilha da educação norte-rio-grandense: a emergência das práticas escoteiras na cidade do Natal no início do século XX
Authors: Leandro Andressa Barbosa de Farias
Published: August 2021

RESUMO Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar a emergência do escotismo na cidade do Natal-RN no início do século XX, problematizando como este tipo de educação, pensada por Baden-Powell para a realidade de jovens ingleses, foi recepcionada pela elite e autoridades políticas locais. Para percorrer a trilha deixada pela educação escoteira no estado do Rio Grande do Norte, nos apropriamos dos pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Nova História Cultural e privilegiamos como fontes leis, mensagens de governos, jornais, correspondências e fotografias, ancorados nas considerações teóricas de Sirinelli (2003) sobre o conceito de intelectual, que nos possibilitou pensar as figuras dos fundadores do escotismo natalense e suas redes de sociabilidades. O trabalho constatou que a emergência do escotismo na cidade do Natal foi fruto da iniciativa de intelectuais, cujas redes de sociabilidades foram determinantes para a implantação e consolidação desse modelo de educação no estado.
