La cara pública de lo secreto: Antropología de la Investigación policial
Authors: Renoldi Brígida
Published: September 2023

Resumen Este artículo centra su atención en el lugar del secreto para la investigación policial federal en casos asociados a drogas ilegalizadas en una metrópolis de Brasil. Parte de esta tarea toma el nombre de trabajos de inteligencia: actividades secretas que apuntan a descubrir redes delictivas. Mediante una aproximación etnográfica conectaré los términos nativos que evocan lo secreto para el trabajo policial, con el concepto de información (su relevancia para los procedimientos policiales y judiciales) y con el valor de la confianza en las relaciones interpersonales. La indagación evidencia cómo el estado se sostiene y recrea en redes de asociaciones provisorias e intereses que, desde las teorías nativas, cuestionan las fronteras atribuidas por las teorías producidas desde el campo de los conocimientos científicos. Analizar el secreto como “forma” de relación y como pauta de transacciones e intercambios permite entender la importancia de lo que produce como tal, dejando el “contenido” que guarda u oculta en un lugar de significación secundario.
Delivering bad news: family members who have survived armed conflicts in the trauma hospital
Authors: Santos Helen Barbosa dos , Costa Angelo Brandelli , Nardi Henrique Caetano
Published: September 2023

Abstract Ethnographic research in a trauma hospital made it possible to systematically accompany one of the families who have survived armed conflicts. We observed, in the work process of the Intensive Care Unit, how a body between life and death is revealed through the interactions between health professionals and family members. It is perceived that the "delivering bad news" perspective suppresses the effects produced by state practices of life and death management, in contexts of criminalization of violence reiterated in the daily routine of the trauma hospital. To rectify responses based on biology and protocol, we adopted the epistemological perspective of anthropology and social psychology. This study has shown that the discursive practices reproduced the dynamics of social inequality linked to racism and classism, while families from precarious territorialities constantly experience traumatic situations and imminent grief for violent health problems.
The Hypothesis of the Misencounter
Authors: Abreu Luiz E.
Published: September 2023

Abstract This article develops the following hypothesis: despite their differences, or better, precisely because of them, law and politics in Brazil comprise a system whose primary feature is its incapacity to form a totalization of the social world; that is, to formulate a public rule capable of including the diverse parts of society. Much the opposite: the characteristic of this system is the purposeful rupture, the strategic estrangement between the pole formed by law and the State (which is constructed against spontaneous forms of sociability) and the pole that includes politics and society (in which exchange modelled on the gift plays a central role). There is no higher plane capable of incorporating the two into a single unity, nor do they submit to a synthesis or to an encompassing value. The article argues that the relationship between law and politics is articulated as a dialogue conducted at a distance and through estrangement, such that one is constituted as the possible worlds of the other.
Physical and motor profile of children between 6 and 10 years old according to levels of cardiorespiratory fitness

Published: September 2023

Abstract This study aimed to compare the physical profile and motor profile of children from 6 to 10 years old, according to their level of cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF). Participated 2036 children from 6 to 10 years old from São José dos Pinhais - PR. Assessed variables were stature, corporal mass, Body mass index (BMI), physical fitness (PF), and gross motor coordination (GMC). The CRF was assessed by the total distance during the 6 minutes walking test. A battery of tests KTK evaluated the GCM. The children were classified according to their levels of CRF (low-moderate-elevated). Differences between groups were tested using ANOVA one way. Data analysis was made in the SPSS software, with a meaningfulness of 5%. Children with low levels of CRF showed higher values of adiposity. On the PF tests, children with low levels of CRF showed higher values of prehension and worse performance in the other tests. Regarding GMC, children with low levels of CRF had lower coordinative performance. Meaningful differences were found in the comparisons between different groups (low-moderate, low-elevated) with an advantage in the results in moderate levels of CRF. Obtaining average levels of CRF can bring protective benefits in other variables in children's growth process and development during infancy. Evaluating the CRF doesn't only get a momentary evaluation. Still, it can also do the monitoring of an essential variable of health, as well as indicate a predisposition about other physical-motor variables.

When academic displacement and internationalization intersect, different approaches for inclusion in Higher Education: contributions from the Welcoming Program for Ukrainian Scientists, Paraná - Brazil
Authors: De Carvalho Elisa , Saes Klarissa Valero Ribeiro , Meza Maria Lucia Figueiredo Gomes de
Published: September 2023

Abstract: Universities have a unique role in facilitating the integration of displaced scientists into the academic community, thus promoting inclusion. Concurrently, institutions of higher education worldwide are increasingly emphasizing internationalization, aiming to attract and support a diverse faculty and student body. This paper aims to discuss how initiatives focused on integrating displaced scientists into Brazilian higher education relate to institutional internationalization efforts. We examine the Welcoming Program for Ukrainian Scientists, Paraná, Brazil. By combining literature/document analysis and interviews with key actors, we examine the initial motivation for universities and participants and the externalities resulting from implementation to provide some insights. The study reveals that the program has the potential to make a significant contribution to the internationalization and diversity in higher education and, concurrently, address social justice concerns.
Beyond integration: the role of philia in the migration experience of language teachers in Rio de Janeiro
Authors: ElHajji Mohammed , Coelho João Paulo Rossini Teixeira
Published: September 2023

Abstract After pointing out mainstream migrant integration’s conceptual issues, we use communication theory to argue that researching migrants’ positive discourse about their trajectories depends on analyzing their establishment of philia in the host country. Then, we present a qualitative study with five migrants who work as teachers at a language school in Rio de Janeiro. We explore their experiences according to three categories: connection to Brazilian people, connection to brazility, and identity convergence to Brazil. This paper concludes that although interviewees cite some indicators used to measure integration in mainstream academia (e.g., language and employment) in their discourses about the country, the specific meanings of these factors are understood only by linking them to participants’ intersubjective exchanges and philia in Brazil.
Análise psicossocial do processo migratório de haitianos(as) ao Brasil: uma perspectiva interseccional de raça-etnia, gênero e idade
Authors: Gil Pedro Henrique Conte , Pizzinato Adolfo
Published: September 2023

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo foi analisar as experiências psicossociais dos processos migratórios de haitianos e haitianas ao sul do Brasil, sobretudo por uma perspectiva interseccional de raça-etnia, gênero e idade. Foram entrevistados 15 migrantes, sendo nove mulheres, dois homens e quatro crianças, que residiam em Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul (RS). Os dados foram submetidos a análise temática indutiva, o que possibilitou a organização de três temas centrais: 1) as motivações para migrar do Haiti para a América do Sul; 2) os papéis de gênero e seus respectivos impactos nas vivências no Brasil; e 3) a rede de apoio reduzida e as experiências de xenofobia racializada. Discute-se em que medida as diferenças de gênero e etárias, associadas aos atravessamentos do fenômeno da xenofobia racializada, implicam em diferentes e singulares experiências psicossociais para haitianos em seu processo migratório para o Brasil, considerando que a maioria converge para uma posição de marginalização social.
La novela El quince como resistencia: la memoria de las víctimas de los campos de concentración cearenses
Authors: Bandeira Mariana Augusto , Vieira Matheus Silva
Published: September 2023

Resumen: Este artículo pretende discutir los dilemas sociales vividos por los migrantes del noreste brasileño durante la sequía de 1915, basado en la novela El quince (1930), de Rachel de Queiroz. Nuestra investigación se apoya inicialmente en la Teoría Crítica del Derecho, disciplina abierta al diálogo con otras áreas del conocimiento, como la Historia y la Literatura. Utilizamos estudios de literatura comparada con fundamento teórico, teniendo en cuenta que las categorías estéticas utilizadas por Queiroz son fundamentales para la comprensión de los dramas sociales de los personajes. Por tanto, el análisis se dividirá en una discusión y contextualización histórico-literaria de la novela El quince, un análisis teórico y jurídico de los hechos históricos que rodearon la producción del texto literario nombrado y opinión sobre la normativa legal y sus consecuencias sociales sobre los migrantes.

Smart cities and innovation: video surveillance in the public security of Recife, Brazil
Authors: Ferreira Dannielly Leandro de Sousa , Novaes Sueli Menelau de , Macedo Francisco Guilherme Lima
Published: September 2023

Abstract This paper analyzes the influence of government support on the implementation of video surveillance, one of the tools usable in smart cities, and the effect of this technology on the performance of public security in the city of Recife. With a qualitative approach, the study locus was the Integrated Center (CIODS), which encompasses the public security forces and provides the video monitoring service in Recife. Interviews were conducted with video surveillance operators. The results show that government support is essential; however, in Recife, it is understood as insufficient for the use of innovations in public security, especially concerning the technology analyzed here. It is concluded that integration between agencies in the video surveillance system favors the expansion and applicability of the concept of smart cities to Recife.

Abstract Introduction: agricultural production in Brazil has grown in recent decades, and rural workers are exposed to many occupational risks. Epidemiological studies on the topic remain limited, especially regarding methodological complexity. Objectives: to present the main methodological challenges to carrying out occupational epidemiological studies in rural areas. Methods: the considerations presented in this article are based on the literature and on the experience of the authors as researchers of this thematic. Results: we approached concepts about target population, living and working place, workers classification, and agricultural production context characterization. We discussed sampling strategies, characterization of economic indicators, including agricultural production and mechanization level, pesticide exposure, such as chemical types, forms, and frequency of exposure, pesticide poisonings, and availability and use of personal protective equipment. We described the necessary care with biological samples and aspects involving interviewers, training, field work, and clinical and logistical issues. Conclusion: despite the methodological and logistical challenges, adequate planning enables successful research studies, of great complexity and high scientific level, about the health-work relationship in agricultural activity.

Major accidents: more than a concept, a history of struggle that must be updated
Authors: Freitas Carlos Machado de , Porto Marcelo , Machado Jorge Mesquita Huet , Faria Mario Parreiras de , Puiatti Roque Luís Mion
Published: September 2023

Abstract Events defined as major accidents emerged with the very industrialization process and alongside the development of new production technologies, becoming more complex in the early 21st century. This essay aimed to describe and contextualize the formulation of a concept that has sought to integrate topics related to workers’ safety and health with those of environmental health, workers’ struggles, and the democratization process in Brazil in a scenario of international division of labor, risks, and benefits. Considering the accidents and disasters in the 1980s and the more recent ones involving mine tailings dams, oil spills, and the Fukushima nuclear power plant, the authors identify more complex scenarios and new challenges for tackling this issue in the 21st century. Beyond dysfunctions in technological and organizational systems, the intensification of institutional vulnerabilities, added to the vulnerabilities produced by social inequalities, fuel the occurrence of major accidents and aggravate their effects, which, by being amplified beyond their spatial and temporal boundaries, especially affect countries in the Global South. We conclude that the recent events represent systemic expressions beyond organizational dysfunctions, revealing deeper layers of organizational and sociotechnical systems such as those forging the global economy and its profound asymmetries.
Acidentes ampliados - mais do que um conceito, uma história de luta que precisa ser atualizada
Authors: Freitas Carlos Machado de , Porto Marcelo , Machado Jorge Mesquita Huet , Faria Mario Parreiras de , Puiatti Roque Luís Mion
Published: September 2023

Resumo Os eventos definidos como acidentes ampliados surgem com o próprio processo de industrialização, assim como junto ao desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias de produção, tornando-se mais complexos neste início de século XXI. O objetivo deste ensaio foi apresentar e contextualizar a formulação de um conceito que buscou integrar os temas relacionados à segurança e saúde dos trabalhadores com os de saúde ambiental, bem como as lutas que envolviam os trabalhadores e o processo de democratização no país, em um cenário de divisão internacional do trabalho, riscos e benefícios. Considerando os acidentes e desastres ocorridos nos anos 1980 do século XX e, também, os recentes, envolvendo barragens de mineração, derrames de petróleo e uma usina nuclear de Fukushima, são apontados cenários mais complexos e novos desafios para enfrentamento desta questão no século XXI. Para além das disfunções dos sistemas tecnológicos e organizacionais encontradas, a intensificação das vulnerabilidades institucionais, somada às vulnerabilidades produzidas pelas desigualdades sociais, potencializam ocorrências e agravam os efeitos dos acidentes, ampliados para além de suas fronteiras espaciais e temporais, afetando sobretudo países do Sul Global. Conclui-se que os eventos recentes constituem expressões sistêmicas, indo além das disfunções organizacionais e revelando camadas mais profundas de sistemas organizacionais e sociotécnicos, como as que forjam a economia global e suas profundas assimetrias.
A general methodology for adaptative planning of urban water systems under deep uncertainty
Authors: Araújo Bruna Mattos , Pacheco Gabriela Cristina Ribeiro , Fernandes Camila Yarla , Lima Diego da Silva , Alves Conceição de Maria Albuquerque
Published: September 2023

ABSTRACT Urban Water Systems (UWS) operate under a broad list of uncertainties. They usually depend on large amount of investments requiring long-term planning for a future full of changes with high degree of uncertainties (climate, social and economic). Many of these uncertainties do not have analytical representation neither they count on agreement among experts or decision makers concerning their influence in the performance of the UWS. The literature has named these changes as deep uncertainties (DU). This work presents a general approach to incorporate the influence of DU on planning and management processes of three types of UWS: 1) Water Supply Systems; 2) Drainage Systems and 3) Rainwater Harvesting Systems. The proposed framework defines steps toward the selection of the best policies and their evaluation in a broad set of scenarios. The particularities of each urban system led to adjustments in some steps of the general methodology. The approach proposed in this work was applied to a practical case, the Rainwater Harvesting Systems in the city of Ipameri, located in the State of Goiás, Brazil. The results highlight the impacts of DU factors on the system performance and reinforce this type of approach as a contribution towards adaptive planning for UWS.

Published: September 2023

Resumen Introducción En Chile se ha dado un proceso acelerado de envejecimiento de la población a la vez que se mantienen prejuicios hacia las personas mayores que pueden limitar la autonomía y participación social de éstas. En este contexto se aplicaron medidas sanitarias por la pandemia por COVID-19 que limitaron actividades cotidianas, en especial en personas mayores de 75 años. Objetivo Describir y analizar las repercusiones de las medidas adoptadas en Chile por la pandemia de COVID-19 en actividades cotidianas de personas mayores de 75 años respecto autonomía y participación social y analizarlas desde el marco de Justicia Ocupacional. Metodo Cualitativa y descriptiva con un diseño de investigación narrativa. Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas a través de video llamadas a nueve personas mayores de 75 años residentes de distintas comunes de Chile que hayan estado en cuarentena durante el año 2020. Resultados Las medidas obligaron a las personas mayores entrevistadas a modificar sus rutinas afectando la gama de ocupaciones que antes realizaban, ocasionando aislamiento social, sentimientos de soledad y una disminución en la autonomía, principalmente por la dependencia para realizar trámites mediante dispositivos tecnológicos. La mayoría de los entrevistados considera exageradas y poco contextualizadas las medidas aplicadas a personas de su edad. Conclusión Las medidas adoptadas para personas mayores de 75 años han profundizado estereotipos propios del edadismo presentes de forma previa. Esto han implicado una privación ocupacional que, sin embargo, ha llevado a los participantes a buscar estrategias de adaptación que dan cuenta de sus potenciales.

Published: September 2023

Resumo Objetivo O artigo se propõe a analisar o ensino remoto no contexto universitário em tempos de pandemia na perspectiva de docentes que trabalham com a formação inventiva. Centra-se em experiências teórico-práticas de três universidades do Brasil e do Chile. Método Utilizou-se o relato de experiência como método para esta pesquisa, o que permitiu a análise do processo formativo com base nas disciplinas vivenciais de maneira remota. Resultados A formação inventiva contribuiu nos processos de comunicação, de conhecimento de si e do outro e na promoção do trabalho grupal entre os estudantes. Por meio das atividades artísticas e corporais foi possível evidenciar alguns desafios relacionados a questões estruturais, virtuais, curriculares e culturais. Estimular o envolvimento e o estudo de experiências artísticas e corporais, especialmente com estudantes, pode auxiliar o processo da transversalidade com as práticas em terapia ocupacional, possibilitando sua participação em territórios desconhecidos, mobilizando afetos e criando espaços capazes de agenciar diversas formas de contato e aproximação, trabalhando e fortalecendo aspectos pessoais e sociais. Conclusão Foram evidenciadas situações distintas entre as três universidades onde a formação inventiva possibilitou aos docentes e estudantes uma aproximação de suas atividades cotidianas, estimulando o processo de comunicação, de conhecer a si e conhecer o outro, além de promover o trabalho grupal. No entanto, fica evidenciado que o ensino remoto não substitui as aulas presenciais e que, apesar de todas as dificuldades, os docentes terapeutas ocupacionais facilitaram o processo de adaptar-se às realidades em contextos possíveis.

Foram realizados 413 atendimentos no total, sendo que a média por paciente foi de três, o mínimo de um e o máximo de 15. A proporção do treino de AVDs foi de 76,9%. As AVDs mais treinadas foram alimentação (96,8%), higiene pessoal (93,9%) e mobilidade funcional (59,8%). Conclusão O desenvolvimento deste estudo promoveu a discussão da análise multidimensional cuidadosa, realizada por terapeutas ocupacionais para efetuar o treino de AVDs com pacientes diagnosticados com Covid-19, internados em enfermarias. Ademais, trouxe resultados importantes relacionados ao perfil dos pacientes atendidos, às proporções das intervenções voltadas ao treino de AVDs e aos elementos que nortearam essa prática.
Professional identity construction: perception of occupational therapy undergraduates
Authors: Bertossi Thaynara da Silva , Cardinalli Isadora , Silva Carla Regina
Published: September 2023

Abstract Introduction Professional identity is built by several factors, however, in the debate among occupational therapists, a divergence appears between a desire for a unique and established identity or complex and dynamic identities. Objective To understand the perceptions of occupational therapy students about professional identity, defining the constituent elements of this process. Method Quantitative-qualitative and descriptive research is composed of thematic analyzes of an online questionnaire, answered by 177 students of undergraduate courses in occupational therapy from 23 Brazilian Higher Education Institutions. It presents the analysis of seven questions (open and/or closed) in search of identity elements, which were categorized thematically into: knowledge, actions and postures; audiences, demands and specialties; and contributions of the profession. Results The use of professional terms, values and postures (such as activity, occupation, care, inclusion, humanization and creativity) are revealed; target audiences (such as people with difficulties, disabilities and conditions related to health, social and education); in addition to procedures and objectives of the practice (such as autonomy, independence and quality of life). The results show the relationship between identity and the search for social recognition, the publics with which the profession is dedicated, identifies demands and constitutes ethical-political commitments, in addition to postures, values, and procedures and objectives of practice, predominantly related to health and rehabilitation. Conclusion The occupations, knowledge, postures, audiences, demands, specialties and contributions of the profession appeared as identity elements of the profession and reveal, through interests, definitions and explanations about the profession, the relationship between the construction of belonging and the multiplicity of international and national epistemic perspectives used in a complementary way and without apparent distinction.
Los efectos de las restricciones sanitarias por COVID-19 y la importancia del uso de los abordajes corporales junto a personas con sufrimiento psíquico y sus familiares
Authors: Cirineu Cleber Tiago , Olivarez Leonardo Cárcamo
Published: September 2023

Resumen Objetivo Se presentan resultados sobre la importancia del uso de los abordajes corporales junto a personas con sufrimiento psíquico y sus familiares. Método La investigación cualitativa desarrollada con enfoque etnográfico centrado en la dimensión corporal sustentó el desarrollo del proceso de performance-investigación colaborativa. El soporte filosófico de la Teoría sobre el Cotidiano de Agnes Heller sobre la práctica de la Rehabilitación Psicosocial permitió analizar las experimentaciones corporales desarrolladas en ocho encuentros donde participaron cuatro usuarias y dos familiares del dispositivo Centro de Rehabilitación Psicosocial de Valdivia, Chile. Resultados La lógica de progresión de intensidad y de incorporación de aprendizajes permitió identificar cuatro categorías: Encuadre e inicio del proceso; Conociendo y concientizando el propio cuerpo; Entre el dolor y el placer; La importancia de la corporalidad. Los resultados permitirán acceder a percepciones corporales silenciadas e incluso invisibilizadas tanto por los efectos de las restricciones sanitarias por COVID-19, como también por estigmatización asociada al sufrimiento psíquico. La Teoría del Cotidiano de Agnes Heller permitió un acercamiento a la comprensión del cotidiano de personas con sufrimiento psíquico con la valoración positiva asociada a la dinámica grupal y la praxis corporal siendo posible visualizar la interface entre actividades corporales placenteras con la perspectiva de la rehabilitación psicosocial efectiva. Conclusión Las prácticas corporales lograron generar espacios reflexivos que fueron centrales para la incorporación efectiva de empoderamiento y autonomía. En tal sentido, se vuelve fundamental entregar apoyo para las experiencias terapéuticas con perspectiva corporal, en un marco (re)educativo, que permita reestructurar los hábitos mentales saludables.

Compreensão sobre o adoecimento e o tratamento quimioterápico de crianças com câncer
Authors: Perosa Gimol Benzaquen , Padovani Flávia Helena Pereira , Lopes Guilherme Costa
Published: September 2023

Este estudo de abordagem qualitativa investigou como crianças com câncer compreendiam a doença e o tratamento. Quinze crianças com câncer, de 6 a 12 anos de idade, em tratamento quimioterápico ou finalizado há menos de cinco meses, foram entrevistadas sobre sua vivência em relação ao câncer e à quimioterapia. Para análise das entrevistas foi utilizado o método preconizado por Bardin. Identificou-se que as crianças conheciam seu diagnóstico e tinham percepção de sua gravidade. A quimioterapia foi associada à possibilidade de cura, mas crianças mais novas não compreendiam como um procedimento que gerava piora e mal-estar era a esperança de cura. Crianças mais velhas, com leucemia, relataram insegurança quanto à eficácia do tratamento. Ouvir as crianças fortaleceu a necessidade de envolvê-las nos procedimentos a fim de melhorar sua qualidade de vida.
Scour countermeasures around cylindrical pier by using downscaled W weir
Authors: Karthik Ramu , Kumar Upendra , Barbhuiya Abdul Karim
Published: September 2023

Scour is a significant concern for bridge design/maintenance, and scour countermeasures are often used to prevent or reduce erosion caused by scouring. The W weir is a grade control structure serving many purposes, including scour control at bridge piers. A series of laboratory experimental runs was conducted, changing the size, height and location of the pier in relation to the weir to optimise the structural configuration of the downscaled W weir. These experiments revealed that the scour hole profile upstream of the downscaled W weir changes with weir height. At a weir height of 1.0D (D = diameter of pier), two small depressions of almost identical size were observed inside the main scour hole, one just in front of each upstream apex of the W weir. One cone-shaped scour hole was observed when the W weir height was 0.5D with its maximum depth in between the upstream apexes. Reduction of scour in front of the pier was greater when the weir height was 1.0D. The maximum scour control achieved among all different structural combinations of downscaled W weir was 47.66%. This was achieved when the downscaled W weir was 2.0D in size and 1.0D high, placed 2.0D distant from the pier.

For the study a 2-hour teaching session was jointly organized by the departments of surgery and anatomy in the dissection hall on selected topics. After the sessionfeedback was received via a survey questionnaire in both the years of study.In the second year of study in addition a pretest and posttest also were conducted to assess the learning of the students. Results: A total of 191 students responded to the feedback questionnaire. Responses to the feedback questionnaire showed that 76% of the students in the first year of study and 88% of students in the second year of the study strongly agreed that revisiting anatomy labs was helpful in understanding the surgical concepts. Majority of the students agreed that the topics covered in the session were adequate. Most of the students wanted more time to be allotted for the sessions and they also wanted a lecture before the session. The paired sample t test showed themean of total pretest was 6.7±1.76 and that of posttest was 6.63 ±2.61, showing slight improvement in the scores. Conclusion: Anatomy review sessions conducted for the final year medical students was found effective in improving learning of surgery. KEY WORDS: Anatomy, Surgery, Teaching, Review, Cadavers.

Background: The cavernous sinus (CS) is a complex anatomical structure that poses significant challenges to neurosurgeons performing surgical interventions in this region. A comprehensive understanding of the anatomy of the CS, including its relevant landmarks and structures, is crucial for successful surgical outcomes. Objective: This review aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the anatomy of the CS, including relevant anatomical landmarks and structures, as well as surgical approaches for neurosurgeons. Methods: A literature search was conducted in electronic databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Scopus, using the keywords "cavernous sinus," "neuroanatomy," and "neurosurgery." Inclusion criteria included all articles published in the English language. Two independent reviewers screened the titles and abstracts, and relevant data was extracted from the included articles and synthesized for narrative synthesis. Results: A thorough comprehension of the eleven triangles in the parasellar region, medial fossa, and paraclival region is imperative for neurosurgeons to navigate complex anatomical structures during surgical approaches to the CS. These structures' anatomical relationships and spatial organization were summarized, along with an overview of relevant surgical approaches. Conclusion: The anatomy of the CS is complex and requires a thorough comprehension of the relevant anatomical landmarks and structures and surgical approaches. Neurosurgeons must comprehensively understand the eleven triangles in the parasellar region, medial fossa, and paraclival region to navigate the complex anatomical structures during surgical interventions effectively. This knowledge can enhance surgical precision and reduce the risk of complications, ultimately improving patient outcomes.

Background: The osseous hand arches are key components enabling an individual for constant, consistent day to day activity performance. The variation in the arches may occur due to usage patterns of hand or it may change with respect to gender. The anatomy of hand arches, acts as the prime component by modulating the curvature of hand to increase not only the surface area for tactile stimulation but also for a better grip and grasp strength Objectives: To provide normative data of palmar arches height in Indian population and to define the constant anatomical landmarks to measure the palmar arch height and correlate it with grasp power in healthy individuals. Material and Methods: Hand arch morphometry was studied for 150 hands in both genders. The measurement was taken with a standardized vernier caliper for longitudinal arch height and distal transverse arch height, and their difference was analyzed for the right and left hand and for between the genders. The association of these parameters with body mass index was also assessed. Results: The results show gender variation for grasp strength and differences in longitudinal arch height between the right and left hand. The results of the present study add to minimalistic literature regarding arch height in hand and also attempts to provide data that may be used in defining rehabilitative exercise program. Conclusions: Differences in hand bone structure between the dominant and non-dominant hand for LAH were observed, but not for DTAH or GP. The differences between genders is observed for grasp power and LAH for left hand only. These variations could be due to usage patterns of the hand, muscle mass differences, and hormonal differences between the genders. This study has implications during the development of hand exercises program for treating neurological deficits in an individual. KEYWORDS: Hand, Osseous, Arches, Grasp Strength.

Introduction: The inner surface of the squamous part of occipital bone shows a prominent internal occipital crest that descends and bifurcates close to foramen magnum to enclose a small depression called vermian fossa. It has been reported that the internal occipital crest and vermian fossa affect the dural venous sinuses close to it and influence the cerebrospinal fluid flow. Few studies have reported morphology the morphology and morphometric features of vermian fossa. There is a paucity of literature regarding the morphology and morphometry of the internal occipital crest. Hence, the present study evaluated the morphological and morphometric details of the vermian fossa and internal occipital crest. Objectives: To provide morphologic & morphometric data of the vermian fossa and internal occipital crest in the Indian population. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study, with a sample size of 64, carried out for a period of three months in the Department of Anatomy. The fossa's morphometric dimensions and the vermian fossa's different shapes observed were documented. The internal occipital crest was observed for shape & length. All data was tabulated, analyzed, and summarized using mean and standard deviation. Results: The vermian fossa was present in 56(82.35%) bones. The type 1 variety was observed in 48(70.6%), type 2 variety in 1 (1.1%) bone and type 3 - atypical variety in 10.3%. The mean length and width of the vermian fossa was 8.9 ±4.41 mm and 8.02±3.50 mm, respectively. The internal occipital crest was sharp in 37(54.4%) bones, rounded in 24(35.3%) bones and wide in 6(8.8%) bones and ill-defined in one bone. The mean length of the internal occipital crest from the internal occipital protuberance to the posterior margin of the foramen magnum was 4.16±0.56 cm. Conclusion: An accurate knowledge of morphology and morphometry of vermian fossa and internal occipital crest and their variations is of significance in diagnostic and therapeutic performance of clinicians and radiologists. Variations in normal anatomical features need to be explored. Hence, this is of importance to anatomists and morphologists.
