Authors: Yassine Kalbaza Ahmed , Houari Hemida , Mokhtar Benchohra , Karim Amara , Hadjer Salem , Imane Bediaf
Published: July 2020

Aim: Lawsonia inermis (LI), a naturally grown or cultivated shrub in Northeast of Africa and India, has been traditionally used as a strong remedy for several injuries. However, few studies have reported its use as a cicatrizing agent. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of daily application of an ointment prepared with LI leaves' powder on wound healing in Wistar rats.

Materials and Methods: Twenty female Wistar rats were used in this study. Excisional wound model was realized by removing skin from the dorsal part of the neck of each animal. Wounds have been then treated by a daily application of LI ointment prepared by mixing leaves' powder to petroleum jelly in test group and by simple application of petroleum jelly in control group. Evaluation of wound healing activity was then based on calculating the percentage of wound contraction, period of epithelialization, and wound index every 3 days for a period of 24 days, then, a histological study of the healed excised wound was performed.

Results: Treatment with LI has shown excellent wound healing activity, since it has increased percent of wound contraction, and reduced period of epithelialization and wound index as compared to control (p<0.05). These results have been supported by the histological findings that revealed better epithelialization, dermal differentiation, collagen fiber orientation, and angiogenesis in LI treated rats compared to control (p<0.05).

Conclusion: We can conclude that LI leaves' can be used as a potential wound healing agent.

Published: July 2020

As preparações magistrais são importantes no suprimento de medicamentos não disponíveis comercialmente para pacientes com necessidades especiais. Entretanto, as exigências regulatórias quanto ao controle da qualidade são diferentes das aplicadas aos medicamentos industrializados. Esse estudo teve como objetivo elucidar diferenças entre a RDC nº 67 de 2007, que regulamenta a manipulação de medicamentos, e a RDC nº 310 de 2019, que normatiza a produção de medicamentos industrializados. Foram destacadas as principais diferenças relativas ao controle da qualidade. Enquanto para as preparações magistrais são exigidas apenas análises de teor e uniformidade trimestralmente, os industrializados somente são liberados, para comercialização ou distribuição, após a comprovação da qualidade satisfatória para todos os lotes produzidos, sendo obrigatória a realização de ensaios completos com métodos validados. Como consequência da menor exigência regulatória, são encontrados diversos relatos na literatura sobre desvios de qualidade de medicamentos manipulados. Entre os mais comuns estão medicamentos com troca de ativos, fraudes por adição de substâncias não declaradas, erros de dosagens, podendo levar a intoxicação e óbito. Soluções para esses problemas incluem a atualização da norma RDC nº 67, com adequações pertinentes para um controle da qualidade mais rigoroso, a fi scalização sanitária constante dos estabelecimentos e o monitoramento do mercado.

Authors: Figueredo  Braga Clarissa , Gonçalves de Melo Taynara Poliana , De Lima José Gildo
Published: July 2020

Um dos fatores mais importantes para o controle da Hipertensão e Diabetes é a adesão ao tratamento farmacológico. Esse trabalho é uma pesquisa transversal com abordagem quantitativa realizada na Unidade de Saúde da Família Casarão do Cordeiro em Recife, PE, de maio a julho de 2019. De acordo com os resultados, 72,5% dos usuários do Hiperdia eram mulheres e a maioria possuia idade superior a 50 anos. Hipertensão foi a condição de maior prevalência entre os participantes. Um índice elevado de pessoas faziam uso de cinco ou mais medicamentos. Cerca de 90% declararam saber que diabetes e hipertensão são doenças crônicas e podem ser controladas com dieta e medicamento, porém a maioria desconhecia quais órgãos podem ser afetados. Apenas 17,7% demonstraram seguir corretamente o tratamento. Cerca de 57% dos participantes estavam com a pressão arterial (PA) alterada, o que pode ter relação direta com a baixa adesão ao tratamento. Dessa forma, fi ca evidente a importância do desenvolvimento de ações interdisciplinares de educação em saúde para o manejo e melhor controle da hipertensão e diabetes em tais pacientes.
Effect of Modeling Techniques on the Simulation: Calculating the Stress Concentration Factors in Square Hollow Section T-Joints as a Case Study
Authors: Talabani Serwan S. M. , Azeez Ahmad T. , Barros Silvio D. , Fadhil Basim M , Omer Hewa H.
Published: July 2020

The capability of the simulation software motivates the engineers to analyze the stress in complex welded joints where ordinary mathematical expression may lack. However, unfortunately, the simulations were interpreted mechanically without considering the simulation parameters deeply. For this reason, this research aims to study the effect of simulation parameters on the stress concentration factor of square hollow sections structures using ANSYS workbench. In this context, two main meshing techniques (face split vs. slicing) and various behavior of materials (linear vs. nonlinear) having been considered. The outputs of the investigations revealed the superiority of the materials nonlinearity over linear behavior in terms of results acceptability comparing to their corresponding real-life ones. For instance, the supercritical fluid of nonlinear plastic material estimated to be 14 which was closest to the 12 obtained experimentally by Mashiri et al. In addition to that, face split technique outperformed the slicing in terms of result accuracy and solving time. Solving the face split model elapsed 254 s only which is dramatically less than the minimum time (1605 s) of sliced models. This is because any slicing process will lead to the formation of the contact elements at interfaces and uncomfortable meshing which may in turn adversely effect on the simulation efficiency.
Going Their Own Way. Protestants’ Specific Models of Joining the Cultural Elite in 19th-century Hungary
Authors: Ugrai János
Published: July 2020

The figures and data unanimously demonstrate that Reformed protestants were significantly overrepresented in the Hungarian cultural elite by the last third of the 19th century. Protestants, who had been under a threat of persecution throughout the 18th century and were negatively discriminated against until the mid-19th century, had developed different strategies for producing a new generation of the intellectual elite. We can distinguish three markedly different models here. Although the number of Protestants in Hungary was relatively low, they won outstanding social and cultural advancement thanks to several successful strategies and channels aiding promotion, which ran parallel but were also independent of one another. Perhaps it was the segmentation of the denominations and the power of the opportunities offered by competing alternatives that partly account for the successful process of producing a Protestant elite. However, the question remains how, and why, in all three cases isolation and going their own way could produce such significant results, and whether there are any common traits that made autonomous development so organic in all of the three cultural areas? Such a common characteristic may be a phenomenon of the Pfarrhaus, that is, the development of clerical and professorial dynasties in all three cases. The three communities all strove for endogamy, thereby accumulating, passing on and preserving private cultural and social capital through several generations. Another shared element may be participation in peregrinations, and, finally, demanding that professors to be active in publishing (as scholars, textbook writers, publicists and newspaper editors). It was these criteria and the persistent deliberateness with which they met them that allowed them to go their own way, eventually arriving at the highly significant meeting points of cultural discourse.
New Ability Invigorated by ICT and Changing Hegemony in Bringing Up Educated Humans: A Historical Reflection
Authors: Ishida Chiaki
Published: July 2020

The aim of this paper is to discuss the changing ideals of ability to be educated in relation to information and communication technology (ICT) applied to tertiary educational spaces. It also examines whether such changes have marginalized students’ capabilities once they become accepted institutional practice. As a result of the development of higher learning since the Meiji restoration, Japan has achieved relatively high standards of «universities for all». Along with this expansion in higher education, Japan has institutionalized diverse learning opportunities. This paper discusses the changes that have been made to skills training in higher education, especially after the introduction of ICT into tertiary learning from the 1980s. First, the author examines the theoretical assumptions of problem setting in this paper, setting out the discussion of «the multitude». Second, there is a review of the historical transition of the concept of skills that university students should acquire. Third, the author describes to what extent the «new concept of ability» has been introduced into the university curriculum, especially in the relationship with the digital environment. Finally, to examine how the above historical background and discussions have been accepted as an effective and practical concept, the author conducted qualitative analysis of several universities’ syllabi data. Through this process, the author considered what aspects of «institutionalized value» (Illich, 1977) occur in the name of skills appropriate to the ICT/AI age. In addition, the author seeks out university attempts to create «commons» in which academic society endeavours to maintain critical and practical potential that forms the general intellect.

The aim of the article is to reflect upon the possibilities offered by triangulation in qualitative research, with particular emphasis placed on action research. Various types of triangulation have been presented, including the most recommended multiple triangulation. A variety of advantages and functions of triangulation have been shown, first and foremost the ones which refer to dynamic, systemic and multicausal phenomena. All the theoretical considerations have been illustrated by the author’s own research conducted in Poland, in one of the bilingual sections with Spanish language in the secondary school. The research concerned the development of students’ discursive competence within the genre of an intercultural comparison, and its conditioning. The research used multiple triangulation: of data sources, of researchers, of methods and of data analysis, as well as temporal and special triangulation. The investigation is finished with conclusions of methodological nature.

DUOETHNOGRAPHY IN APPLIED LINGUISTICS QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
Authors: Werbińska Dorota
Published: July 2020

The significance of duoethnography as an alternative qualitative method for investigating research in the humanities and social sciences has considerably increased in the last decade or so. Yet, despite its increasing popularity and the growth of duoethnographic studies in second and foreign language learning and teaching, duoethnography is still unknown to many applied linguists. In order to partially redress this gap, the aim of this article is to present duoethnography as a promising qualitative method for applied linguistics studies. The text outlines the basic tenets of duoethnography, discusses the scope of its research on language learning and teaching at the present time and describes innovations that duoethnography introduces to data collection, writing, presenting and interpreting research. The article concludes with a call for more duoethnographic studies in applied linguistics as they provide a welcome move towards greater methodological diversity. This, in turn, may contribute to our better understanding of the experience of language learning and teaching, and the identity of language learners and teachers, as well as generate new themes for research.
THE POSSIBILITY OF TEACHING PRACTICES AS A COMMUNITY OF PRACTICE BASED UPON THE EXPERIENCES OF STUDENT-TEACHERS
Authors: Blaszk Martin
Published: July 2020

In pre-service training for teachers of English opportunities for dialogic interaction (Skidmore and Murakami, 2017) with a mentor are seen to play an important role in professional awareness and development (Wallace, 1993; Gabryś-Barker, 2012; Howard and Donaghue, 2015). To fulfil the demands of their practices student-teachers work with a number of different people: a school teacher (mentor), academic supervisor and the academic staff who lead the English teaching methodology course (Blaszk, 2015). This being the case, it was hypothesized that teaching practices might exist as a community of practice within which student-teachers in interaction with these different people would be supported in their professional development. The aim of the qualitative research reported in this paper was to discover how the student-teachers in a particular institution perceived their teaching practices and whether or not those practices could be viewed as a community of practice that supported the students.
A green strategy for obtaining anthraquinones from Rheum tanguticum by subcritical water
Authors: Zhang Guoying , Chi Xiaofeng
Published: July 2020

Rheum tanguticum is a traditional Chinese herbal medicine, which contains abundant anthraquinones. In this study, anthraquinones were efficiently extracted from Rheum tanguticum by subcritical water extraction (SWE). The parameters of extraction time (33–67 min), temperature (100–200°C), and SW flow rate (1.4–4.6 mL/min) were optimized so as to achieve a high yield of the target product. A high yield of the total anthraquinones was achieved under the optimized SWE conditions of extraction time 54 min, extraction temperature 170°C, and the flow rate 2.0 mL/min. The comparison between the SWE and traditional extraction techniques implied that the SWE is an efficient and green alternative method for the extraction of anthraquinones. Four anthraquinone glycosides were purified from the SWE extract by high-speed counter-current chromatography and identified as emodin-1-O-β-D-glucoside, physcion-8-O-β-D-glucopyranoside, chrysophanol-1-O-β-D-glucoside, and chrysophanol-8-O-β-D-glucoside.

Published: July 2020

An analytical method for the quantification of anticancer agents such as imatinib, sorafenib, gefitinib and bosutinib using conductometry was developed. Each drug solution was mixed with measured concentration of metal ion (Cu2+) solution resulting in drug–metal ion complexation in the titration cell. Conductance was progressively decreased on addition of the analyte solution up to a point of maximum reduction, that is, the end point. Corrected conductance values were calculated from the observed conductance and used to plot a graph against the volume of drug solution added. No interferences were observed from blank and placebo as they gave no clear inflection in the conductivity during titration. The precision and the accuracy of the developed method was established by the analysis of quality control samples; %RSD of corrected conductance values <2% and recovery results within 100 ± 2% were achieved. The calibration graphs obtained were linear over the concentrations 1.0–1.4 mM for all the drugs (R2> 0.99). The drugs were successfully analyzed in their respective dosage forms prepared in-house. The method has offered easier, faster and cost-effective analysis of the selected drugs and can be used for routine determinations in the quality control laboratories. More importantly, it is an environmental friendly procedure, as no organic solvent was used throughout the analysis.
Adsorption kinetic characteristics of molybdenum in yellow-brown soil in response to pH and phosphate
Authors: Nie Zhaojun , Li Jinfeng , Liu Haiyang , Liu Shiliang , Wang Daichang , Zhao Peng , Liu Hongen
Published: July 2020

Molybdenum (Mo) adsorption by acidic yellow-brown soil was investigated as a function of a pH (1–13) and the equilibrium of P solution (0, 3.1, and 31 mg L−1) concentration. Mo adsorption by acidic yellow-brown soil increased within the pH range from 1 to 4. Above pH 4, Mo adsorption decreases with an increase in pH. The maximum adsorption was found between pH 2 and 4. Competitive adsorption experiments showed that the equilibrium sorption data fitted into Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The sorption data of Mo on the acidic yellow-brown soil fitted well with the Langmuir isotherm model due to the higher R2 value. A reduction in Mo adsorption by the acidic yellow-brown soil was noticed at higher addition levels of P (3.1 and 31 mg L−1). Therefore, P increasing the bioavailability of Mo and enhancing Mo uptake by plants might be related to the inhibition of Mo absorption by the acidic yellow-brown soil.
Active photonic platforms for the mid-infrared to the THz regime using spintronic structures
Authors: Armelles Gaspar , Cebollada Alfonso
Published: July 2020

Spintronics and Photonics constitute separately two disciplines of huge scientific and technological impact. Exploring their conceptual and practical overlap offers vast possibilities of research and a clear scope for the corresponding communities to merge and consider innovative ideas taking advantage of each other’s potentials. As an example, here we review the magnetic field modification of the optical response of photonic systems fabricated out of spintronic materials, or in which spintronic components are incorporated. This magnetic actuation is due to the Magneto Refractive Effect (MRE), which accounts for the change in the optical constants of a spintronic system due to the magnetic field induced modification of the electrical resistivity. Due to the direct implication of conduction electrons in this phenomenon, this change in the optical constants covers from the mid-infrared to the THz regime. After introducing the non-expert reader into the spintronic concepts relevant to this work, we then present the MRE exhibited by a variety of spintronic systems, and finally show the different applications of this property in the generation of active spintronic-photonic platforms.
Long-Term Cyclic Loading Tests for Offshore Pile Foundations Based on Hydraulic Gradient Modeling
Authors: Lu Wenjun , Zhang Ga
Published: July 2020

Long-term dynamic response of pile foundations for offshore engineering has attracted more and more attention. The deflection accumulation and the natural frequency offset of the soil-pile system are two vital issues for the safety of offshore projects. However, the research on this topic is deficient because of the lack of effective test approaches. In this study, a new device was developed to investigate the long-term lateral cyclic response of a soil-pile system based on hydraulic gradient modeling. The downward seepage force was employed to create a supergravity field of high g-level. A long-term laterally cyclic loading unit was developed to simulate the cyclic loads under high g-level condition. This device was validated by comparing the results of a short-term centrifuge model test. The device was successfully applied into long-term cyclic loading tests of pile foundation. The test results showed that long-term cyclic loading induces the densification of the sand, the accumulative deflection of the piles, and the natural frequency variations of the soil-pile system. The limitations of 1 g-level model test in characterizing the long-term dynamic response of soil-pile system were clarified by comparing the results from 1 g-level and 100 g-level long-term tests.
Assessing the Use of Blending Charts to Estimate the Allowable Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) Binder Content for Mixes Containing RAP from Different Sources
Authors: Elkashef Mohamed , Hung Shawn S. , Harvey John T. , Jones David
Published: July 2020

Blending charts are used by many agencies to design mixes with high-content reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). They are typically used with mixes containing more than 25 % RAP to determine the performance grade of the virgin binder or to obtain the maximum allowable RAP content. The aging condition of the RAP binders extracted from RAP can vary greatly based on years of service, climatic conditions, and traffic loading. The current specifications do not consider the stiffness of the RAP in determining the cutoff RAP percentage above which blending charts should be used. According to the current specifications, mixes containing less than 15 % RAP do not require a change to their virgin binder grade regardless of the RAP source. In this paper, extracted and recovered RAP binder from two sources representing different climatic conditions is blended with two virgin binders at different proportions. The rheological properties of the virgin and RAP binders and the resulting binder blends were compared using master curves and Black diagrams, and changes in the rheological parameters such as the crossover frequency and rheological index were noted. The blending chart procedure was used to determine the maximum allowable RAP binder ratio (RAPBR) for different mixes. The results show that the 25 % limit, currently specified, appears appropriate for the not very stiff RAP binder having a performance grade of PG94-4. However, for the stiff RAP binder (PG106+2), blending charts should be used for blends containing more than 18–20 % RAPBR. It was also shown that a change to the virgin binder is required for blends with as low as 6 % RAPBR, when the stiff RAP binder was used.

Los sistemas y métodos de enseñanza tradicionales llevan ya varias décadas en la picota sin que esto haya servido para modificar los presupuestos básicos que los sustentan. A pesar de todo, son muchos los profesionales que se han decidido a dedicar sus energías a la exploración de metodologías poco comunes, como es el caso del Aprendizaje Basado en Problemas (ABP). El presente escrito, no es otra cosa que un esfuerzo por llevar este tipo de iniciativas a la enseñanza de la historia en la Educación Secundaria Obligatoria española, presentando aquí el diseño y los resultados de aplicación de un recurso ABP bilingüe en torno a la Guerra Fría, con el objetivo de demostrar no solo que otro tipo de metodologías son posibles, sino que el desarrollo de competencias clave y la conexión de la materia con el presente son imprescindibles para garantizar un aprendizaje útil y de calidad.
Subjetividad autoral en «La paranoia», de Rafael Spregelburd: posicionamiento de burla y construcción de un «ethos» intelectual como mecanismo de legitimación enunciativa
Authors: Zucchi Mariano Nicolás
Published: July 2020

En este artículo nos proponemos analizar la configuración enunciativa de La paranoia, de Rafael Spregelburd. En particular, estudiamos la manera en que el texto dramático construye una imagen de su responsable (i.e., Spregelburd en tanto «ethos autoral»). Específicamente, observamos que la pieza genera una representación del dramaturgo como la de alguien que se burla de los personajes a los que él mismo se encarga de presentar. Asimismo, examinamos el modo en el que el texto dramático le atribuye a esta figura del discurso una serie de saberes que emparentan su figura con la de un «ethos intelectual», representación que está orientada a legitimar el posicionamiento con el que el autor es mostrado frente a los protagonistas de la diégesis. En cuanto a la perspectiva de trabajo, nos enmarcamos en el enfoque dialógico de la argumentación y la polifonía.

Authors: De la Barra Erika , Carbone Soffía
Published: July 2020

This paper reports a qualitative action-research study on the use of cooperative learning through literature in two vulnerable English as a foreign language (EFL) classrooms in Chile. The study aimed at bridging EFL inequality by exposing students to a different methodology using cooperative learning, and content-based instruction through literature, which are inexistent methods in vulnerable schools. Improving students’ performance and increasing their personal growth were also pursued. Data were gathered through lesson observations, language tests, and surveys. Results evidenced that students improved their cooperative learning skills and personal growth, yet their linguistic proficiency was not significantly enhanced. As a conclusion, promoting cooperative learning together with content-based instruction through literature resulted in a suitable combination to improve learners’ learning strategies and personal growth.
EFL Learners’ Perceptions About Language Learning and Culture When Using Telecollaboration
Authors: Ramírez-Lizcano Natalia , Cabrera-Tovar María Alejandra
Published: July 2020

This phenomenological study explores students’ perceptions about the relationship between foreign language learning and culture when using telecollaboration. Three main concerns underlie this work: the lack of studies that explore how students perceive the relationship between foreign language learning and culture in the local context, the need to explore the incidence of culture in language learning, and the role of telecollaboration in cultural exchange. Data were collected through questionnaires, focus groups, video recordings, field notes, and students’ artifacts. The findings show students’ understanding of the nature of language situated within functional and humanistic perspectives. Furthermore, participants alluded to the importance of language learning as a means to understand the scope of culture and cultural identity.
Fostering Talk as Performance in an EFL Class Through the Critical Analysis of YouTubers’ Content
Authors: Aristizábal-Jiménez Yesika
Published: July 2020

This paper reports an action-research study aimed at exploring the benefits of the critical analysis of YouTubers’ content through the empowerment spiral model to foster students’ talk as performance. Twenty 11th-grade students shared alternative messages related to social issues based on content analysis and reflections. Data were collected via preservice teachers’ journals, students’ written and multimedia artifacts, and voice recordings, whose analysis was done through processes of codification and categorization. The results showed that the implementation of critical media literacy helped students become aware of the content they were consuming and improve their English oral performance by means of specific oral activities. Therefore, this study has a balance between English as a foreign language learning and the use of critical approaches.
Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic: The perceptions of health professions educators
Authors: Hays Richard , Jennings Barbara , Gibbs Trevor , Hunt Julie , McKay Kerrie
Published: July 2020

This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. What are health professions educators doing during the COVID-19 pandemic? A search of articles in MedEdPublish on the topics of COVID-19 revealed 39 articles published in the first 3 months of the pandemic. Topics included curriculum adaptation, guidelines for using technology, assessment adaptation, impact on students, faculty and career development, and conference adaptation. There was significant overlap among articles, particularly those discussing teaching, learning, and assessment practices. Common themes were adaptation, innovation, remote delivery, flexibility in the face of a pandemic, and how to continue to educate and graduate competent health professionals. All articles were descriptive, and none included data describing efficacy, likely due to the short timeline since the pandemic's inception. Additional study is necessary to produce evidence for the teaching and assessment adaptations described. Some changes are likely to persist longer-term and may outlast the pandemic itself.
Social identity in the age structure of the inhabitants of the Jewish Autonomous Region
Authors: Nevelichko Lyubov , Vorotilkina Irina , Schetinina Svetlana , Sinyukov Vasily
Published: July 2020

The article discusses the problem of social identity, its characteristics, conditions of formation. The theme of identity is the most relevant at the present stage of development of Russian society. This is due to the fact that the reforms being carried out in the country require active civic participation in their implementation, and this requires an understanding of the relationship in the socio-economic transformations to individual and social, subjective and group, national and personal, that is, there is reason for the formation of a multidimensional phenomenon of identity. The authors conclude that ignoring the process of identity formation poses a threat of failures in economic, political and cultural transformations, since new forms of socio-economic relations often conflict with the already existing concept of the individual “I” that embodies his life ideals, conditions and forms of life. It was established that under these conditions it is the formation of positive social
self-identification as a reflection of personal self-awareness that is the most important factor in the stable development of modern society and the leading motivating factor in combining people's efforts to solve socially significant problems. The article presents a theoretical analysis of the interpretations of the concepts of identity, identification, social identity, as well as an empirical analysis of the social identity of the inhabitants of the Jewish Autonomous Region. The study not only made it possible to establish the interests of the inhabitants of the study area, but also to make predictions regarding the content of their social activities, reactions to external events.
STATIC BUCKLING ANALYSIS OF A FINITE IMPERFECT COLUMN RESTING ON A NON-LINEAR ELASTIC FOUNDATION BUT PRESSURIZED BY A STEP LOAD
Authors: U. Chukwuchekwa Joy , M. Ette Anthony
Published: July 2020

In this investigation, regular perturbation procedures in asymptotic expansions of the relevant variables are employed to discuss the static buckling analysis of a finite deterministically imperfect but viscously damped column resting on some quadratic–cubic nonlinear elastic
foundations, but struck by a step load. The governing equation for the system under discussion is fully nonlinear, so that a closed form and easy solution to the problem is not possible. An approximate analytical solution to the problem is obtained using asymptotic and perturbation techniques
and numerical results obtained show that increase in imperfection factors lower the static buckling loads of the column.

In this note we have studied some properties of decimal digits obtained by dividing 1 by primes which have maximum period property, namely, inverses of primes, p, whose decimal representation repeats after p-1. For such primes up to 1000, we have given a method for finding decimal digits
of their inverses without using division. This works for many non-primes also. We have also given a construction method for obtaining magic squares for primes, 17, 29, 61 and 97 for which such magic squares are not known.

The cause, effect and remedial measures of head injury is presented in a capsule form. The position of Brain is in the central location of the cranium and is well protected by nature with some layers surrounding it. Brain is the controlling organ of the human body, so its damage or
even injury has gained attention among the scientists and physicians. As nobody will allow his/her head for investigation so modelling is a must for study of brain injury problems. The analytical study may give some idea on the location and degree of brain injury.
Políticas de solidariedade em acampamentos de fãs em shows de música pop
Authors: Soares Thiago
Published: July 2020

Resumo Debate-se como os acampamentos de fãs em espetáculos de música pop internacionais que passam pelo Brasil são emblemáticos para se perceber a colonialidade (QUIJANO, 2010) e a reiteração performática de gestos em torno do fascínio pelo estrangeiro na cultura juvenil brasileira. Postula-se, a partir do debate sobre as Teorias da Performance e dos Estudos Culturais Latino-americanos, que os acampamentos encenam disputas, mas também solidariedade nas relações de vulnerabilidade e aliança (BUTLER, 2018) entre fãs de cultura pop no Brasil. A partir de três acampamentos de fãs ocorridos entre os anos de 2013 e 2017, debate-se que o “naturalizado” afeto brasileiro aponta para zonas tensivas da performance de ser fã: o sacrifício e a espera como apontamentos para o merecimento de estar perto da artista; as fabulações sobre o estrangeiro e as dimensões da cultura global no cotidiano e o fascínio pela imagem de poder atrelado a construções de cidadanias parciais de gênero e raça no campo da cultura.
Controle via agência em plataformas algorítmicas
Authors: Castro Julio Cesar Lemes de
Published: July 2020

Resumo Este artigo de articulação teórica, baseado em pesquisa bibliográfica, aborda a relação entre controle e agência em plataformas algorítmicas. O controle envolve a coleta e a análise de dados a partir das atividades e interações dos usuários, com o desígnio de discernir padrões e tendências, o que permite antecipar e direcionar comportamentos, correspondendo assim a um aparato de vigilância intensiva e permanente. Ao mesmo tempo, cada usuário possui certo nível de agência, podendo, ao alterar seu curso de ação, influenciar a maneira como ele é apreendido e, portanto, interpelado pela plataforma. Dessa combinação de fatores, emerge um modelo paradigmático de governança algorítmica, consistindo em um modo de controle flexível, modulado de acordo com a agência do usuário, que se expressa na variabilidade de seu input – em outras palavras, um controle via agência.
Trends in the international news coverage on Latin America in Germany in the 21st century
Authors: Cazzamatta Regina
Published: July 2020

Abstract This study aims at analysing the main developments in foreign reporting of Latin America by the German press. The paper provides a content analysis of 3.831 articles published in quality German publications (SZNenhum, FAZ, Der Spiegel, and tazNenhum) between 2000 and 2014. The most common news factors related to the continent are found to be “magnitude,” “power status,” “economic proximity”, and “personification.” Additionally, we identified a decrease in hard news over the years (6 pp within Politics and 8 pp amidst Economy). Despite depoliticisation, a tendency towards tabloidisation was not confirmed since factors such as personification and crisis remained constant.

Resumo O gênero Piper possui distribuição pantropical, apresentando cerca de 2.000 espécies no mundo. É considerado um dos dez maiores gêneros neotropicais de Magnoliidae, e o maior em Piperaceae. O estudo foi realizado no Parque Estadual da Serra da Tiririca (43º3’50”O-42º56’30”O, 22º59’23”S-22º53’19”S), um remanescente de Mata Atlântica (Floresta Ombrófila Densa Submontana), localizado na divisa dos municípios de Niterói e Maricá (RJ), com o objetivo de levantar as espécies do gênero presentes na área. Foram realizadas coletas de plantas férteis no período de 2011 a 2017 e analisadas as exsicatas dos herbários FCAB, HB, R, RB, RBE, RBR, RFA, RFFP e do banco de dados virtual SpeciesLink. Na área foram encontrados 12 espécies: P. aduncum, P. amalago, P. amplum, P. anisum, P. arboreum var. arboreum, P. arboreum var. hirtelum, Piper corcovadensis var. corcovadensis, P. divaricatum, P. hoffmannseggianum, P. klotzschianum, P. mollicomum, P. rivinoides e P. tuberculatum.

Resumo Araceae está entre as famílias com maior riqueza de espécies para o bioma Mata Atlântica e é caracterizada pela presença de inflorescência em espádice, associada a uma bráctea, a espata. Este trabalho tem como objetivo inventariar as espécies de Araceae do Parque Nacional do Caparaó, com chave de identificação, descrições e ilustrações diagnósticas das espécies. Para isso, foram realizadas expedições de coleta nos meses de janeiro, abril e novembro de 2017, em diferentes trilhas, altitudes e formações vegetacionais do ParNa. O material coletado foi depositado no herbário RB e as duplicatas enviadas para o herbário GFJP, UNOP. Estas foram analisadas, além das amostras disponíveis em sites do speciesLink, Jabot e Herbário Virtual Reflora. Foram encontradas 21 espécies nativas da Mata Atlântica, distribuídas em quatro gêneros, sendo os mais representativos: Anthurium e Philodendron com nove espécies cada. Além disso, foram evidenciados dois novos registros para estados brasileiros (Xanthosoma maximilianii para o Espírito Santo e Philodendron acutatum para Minas Gerais), uma espécie endêmica desta Unidade de Conservação (A. mourae) e três espécies novas para a ciência. Esses resultados reforçam a importância de estudos florísticos e a conservação do ParNa Caparaó.

Published: July 2020

Resumo Objetivos Relatar experiências vivenciadas durante um estágio de Pós-Doutorado, o conhecimento adquirido sobre o método de Design Thinking e a socialização desse método em evento científico de Enfermagem. Método Trata-se do relato de experiência de um Pós-Doutorado realizado no Canadá e da aquisição de novos conhecimentos na área da pesquisa e do ensino. Resultados A oportunidade mais desafiadora foi a aproximação com o Design Thinking, pois esse conceito promoveu a consciência sobre a urgência de adotar um novo paradigma para pensar, colaborar, ensinar, desenhar, planejar, executar e avaliar as atividades de pesquisa. Após constantes reflexões sobre Design Thinking, houve a oportunidade de promover uma iniciativa-piloto de tradução de conhecimento do método e observar a excelente receptividade dos participantes no evento. Conclusão A experiência permitiu a aquisição de conhecimentos além da Enfermagem, estimulando o pensamento crítico e fortalecendo a destemida capacidade de pensar e inovar na produção de conhecimento. Implicações para a prática É inegável que o Design Thinking poderá revolucionar a educação, mediante sua inserção nos cursos da área da saúde, configurando uma ferramenta cognitiva que reconstrói a engenhosidade humana inspirada em valores humanísticos e empáticos, assegurando a qualidade de serviços e produtos, e respeitando o perfil do cliente.

RESUMO Objetivo Relacionar o grau de prematuridade e adequação de peso ao nascer ao perfil lipídico, glicêmico, pressórico e antropométrico de adolescentes nascidos prematuros. Métodos Estudo transversal. Amostra com 50 adolescentes nascidos prematuros – idade gestacional menor que 37 semanas – classificados com base na idade gestacional e peso ao nascer: Adequado para Idade Gestacional (AIG), Pequeno para Idade Gestacional (PIG) e Grande para Idade Gestacional (GIG). Avaliaram-se medidas antropométricas; Pressão Arterial (PA); glicose, Colesterol Total (CT), Triglicerídeos (TG), coletados por punção digital. Análise por estatística descritiva, teste de associação exato de Fisher e análise de variância (ANOVA), considerando 5% de significância. Resultados 8% apresentaram Síndrome Metabólica (SM). 70% foram classificados como AIG, 30% apresentaram excesso de peso. 6% nasceu prematuro extremo e muito prematuro (14%). O grau de prematuridade associou-se significativamente a PA (p=0,027) e mostrou tendência à associação com o TG (p=0,05). Conclusão e implicações para a prática Os níveis pressóricos são influenciados pelo grau de prematuridade; foi evidenciado tendência a TG aumentados. Prematuros têm maior vulnerabilidade para desenvolver SM, alterações pressóricas e possíveis alterações na homeostase glicêmica devido à alteração de TG, indicando a necessidade de seguimento na infância e adolescência atentando ao seu maior risco para doenças cardiovasculares.
