Fatores de estresse e resiliência no acesso e utilização de serviços de saúde por travestis e mulheres transexuais no nordeste brasileiro
Authors: Medeiros Matheus Alves , Gomes Sávio Marcelino , Spinelli Junior Vamberto Fernandes
Published: March 2024

Resumo O gênero é uma categoria social diretamente ligada à determinação da saúde, mas tem sido frequentemente limitado às categorias de masculino e feminino, invisibilizando demandas importantes de identidades que fogem ao binarismo, como no caso de identidade transgênero (travestis e transexuais). A teoria do estresse de minorias de gênero categoriza fatores de estresse e resiliência relevantes para explicar como as vivências ligadas ao gênero impactam de maneira desproporcional pessoas transgênero, especialmente em desfechos de saúde mental. Nesse contexto, este estudo analisa a relação entre acesso e uso de serviços de saúde e os fatores de estresse e resiliência de travestis e mulheres transexuais no interior do nordeste brasileiro. Foi conduzida uma pesquisa qualitativa em saúde: dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com cinco mulheres trans adultas, residentes da região do Cariri, Ceará. Observou-se homogeneidade no acesso à saúde, mas todas as entrevistadas enfrentaram situações de estresse durante a utilização. Identificaram-se fatores de resiliência que levam essa população a buscar cuidados de saúde fora do sistema de saúde, devido a suas dificuldades de uso. Portanto, evidencia-se a necessidade de discutir a amplitude e o progresso do processo transexualizador e a capacidade de aplicação da Política Nacional de Saúde Integral de Lésbicas, Gays, Bissexuais e Transgêneros no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde no interior do nordeste brasileiro.

Abstract: Aim Our goal was to relate the phytoplankton metacommunity to its possible determinants in a micro watershed: (I) determinants related to landscape-scale filtering, (II) determinants referring to local microhabitat filtering, (III) determinants referring to previous colonization, and (IV) determinants representing three different dispersal routes. Methods Eight sampling stations were selected along the Cascavel River watershed, located in the state of Paraná, Brazil. Samples were collected quarterly for three years. All phytoplankton samples were quantitatively analyzed to determine the density of the metacommunity. In addition, it was characterized the landscape in terms of land use and occupation, and environmental characterization in terms of physical and chemical variables of the water. All data underwent relevant statistical analysis, where variance partitioning was carried out using partial RDA models, with prior selection of predictor variables, to estimate the relative role of each predictor in the community. We also compared three possible dispersal routes: “Asymmetric Eigenvector Map” (AEM), “Overland” and “Watercourse”. Results It was found that the metacommunity was best explained by “asymmetric eigenvector mapping” (AEM), indicating that because it is a small spatial scale the high connectivity between the sampling stations enables species to disperse overland as well. The different filters act together and depend on rainfall variation. Besides fluctuating temporally, the influence of these mechanisms is subject to which dispersal hypothesis is being considered. Conclusions At the watershed scale, we argue that small-scale processes should be considered, since they homogenize the landscape and consequently leave the environmental gradient similar between sampling stations. In addition, the connectivity of colonization patches is essential to understand the behavior of microalgae that have a high dispersal capacity and are not restricted only to the river course.
THE MUSTARD BULLETS AND THE DELIGHTFUL CULINARY ADVENTURE IN AN INDIAN KITCHEN: HIGH-SPEED VISUALIZATIONS, FLOW PHYSICS, AND MECHANISMS

Published: March 2024

Mustard seeds play a crucial role in Indian culinary practices and culture, not to mention the adventurous
ordeal of dodging the so-called "mustard bullets" when they pop in hot oil, a familiar experience for those who cook with them. The popping of mustard seeds, while seemingly straightforward, is actually a complex phenomenon not extensively studied. It is believed to be caused by the water content within the seeds turning into steam under high heat, leading to the seeds popping. This study focuses
on analyzing the movement of mustard seeds to delve into the flow dynamics and mechanisms behind this popping process. The research aims to define the motion of the seeds, quantify the force imparted upon human skin during impact, and elucidate the reason for the associated painful sensation. Experiments were carried out using high speed imaging and microscopic study of the mustard seeds to study its morphology and drag characteristics. The findings reveal that the rupture of the seed, due to the interaction between the superheated steam within and the hot oil, generates a force that propels the seeds. Upon ejection, the oil surrounding the seed displays two different outflow patterns. This study concludes that the painful sensation from "mustard bullets" is not directly due to the impact pressure but rather the interaction between the hot oil, carried by the seed, and human skin, with the seed's role being to transport the hot oil and sustain its temperature during the flight.

Published: March 2024

La profession d'infirmière a connu des profondes mutations jusqu’à faire son entrée en France comme une discipline, au même titre que d’autres disciplines universitaires qui la côtoient. En France, le nombre de chercheurs issus des sciences infirmières a augmenté et les connaissances et compétences en matière de recherche se sont améliorées. La recherche en sciences infirmières se déroule dans une communauté de recherche diversifiée, dans un environnement interdisciplinaire. Dans cette mixité de disciplines, le fondement théorique des soins infirmiers, par opposition à d'autres disciplines, peut être obscurci. L’objectif de cet article et d’apporter un éclairage sur le périmètre des sciences infirmières au niveau international et une mise en perspective dans le contexte Français, à travers une revue de la littérature internationale et française. Au débat pour certains auteurs sur la spécificité des sciences infirmières par rapport à d’autres sciences dont elle serait issue telles que la sociologie, la psychologie ou encore la médecine, d’autres auteurs ont démontré que les sciences infirmières ont emprunté à ces disciplines afin d’ajuster leur compréhension de leur objet de recherche : le prendre soin.
La mise en perspective des contributions des autres sciences dans le champ disciplinaire des sciences infirmières en constitue la plus-value pour la profession.
Le patient connecté entre care et cure
Authors: BRAYET Elise
Published: March 2024

Le déploiement de l’Éducation Thérapeutique du Patient témoigne d’un nouveau paradigme dans l’accès à la santé : l’intention de partager les savoirs médicaux avec un patient attendu comme expert de sa maladie. Parallèlement, la diffusion d’appareils numériques dotés de capteurs biométriques promet de faciliter un regard objectif et médicalisé sur son propre corps, en vue d’accroître l’autonomie du patient. Mais l’autonomie espérée via l’utilisation de tels dispositifs ne risque-t-elle pas de se payer d’un rabattement du souci de soi sur la seule considération d’un « corps-objet » ? Nous nous sommes entretenues avec des patients atteints de problèmes de santé chroniques et équipés d’objets connectés pour la santé. Nous proposons une compréhension de leurs expériences au prisme de la dialectique care et cure afin de comprendre de quelle nature est le soin de soi-même, en contexte d’utilisation d’appareils connectés pour la santé. La théorie des trois mondes de Karl Popper permettra de saisir la nécessité et les enjeux de l’objectivation propre au cure, dans le soin de soi-même. Il apparaît que le cure peut dans, certaines mesures, participer à la revisite ou à l’élaboration des sensations, ou encore, à la saisie holiste de son propre corps. Enfin, nous exposerons les différentes manières dont autrui peut intervenir dans les étapes du soin de soi, au niveau du care mais aussi du cure.
Solid waste management challenges and solutions: The case of the city of Khouribga (Morocco)
Authors: Youssef Salama , Mohammed Chennaoui
Published: March 2024

In Morocco, like in many developing countries, the management of solid waste, especially household solid waste, is a major concern. It is estimated that each person generates an average of 0.67 kilograms of urban waste per day, while in rural areas, this figure is 0.3 kilograms per day. The collection of urban solid waste is regular and almost daily, reaching approximately 5.5 million metric tons per year. The management of household waste is a major concern for all urban communities. The city of Khouribga, like many other Moroccan cities, faces various environmental challenges such as air pollution, waste management, and preservation of natural resources. In order to address these issues, it is essential to gather accurate and comprehensive information to develop effective and sustainable strategies. In this context, efforts are being made to optimize and improve the collection of household solid waste in the urban municipality of Khouribga. This study has revealed the existence of technical and social constraints that hinder the smooth operation of the current solid waste collection in this city. Therefore, the mobilization of the municipality, service providers, and the population is necessary to overcome these challenges.

Novel Phase YBa2Cu3O5 derived from the High Tc Superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-x
Authors: Danijel Djurek
Published: March 2024

The orthorhombic unit cell of high Tc oxide superconductor YBa2Cu3O7–x is indicated by two-dimensional CuO2 planes spanned in a-b directions. Partial removal of oxygen, down to x > 1, creates an insulating state and randomly distributed oxygen vacancies. An attempt has been made to increase the concentration of vacancies up to some critical value when their ordering could take place, while balance with copper cations will still maintain the original tetragonal structure. Removal of two oxygen atoms per unit cell results in the YBa2Cu3O5 compound and formation of linear Cu1+– O chains. The novel phase is an insulator, and doping in a low (50 –200 mbar) oxygen atmosphere at T < 800 K converts it to a conducting state.

The reduction sentences are easy even within a Popperian view
Authors: López-Astorga Miguel
Published: March 2024

Rudolf Carnap proposed three reduction rules to improve scientific language. Those rules indicate when it is correct to add a property in situations in which other properties are already had. Assuming the theory of mental models, it has been shown that the rules are not hard to use from the cognitive point of view. The key to argue that is to accept that the human mind works as dual-process theories claim. According to these theories, people can use two different systems. One of them implies effort but the other one does not. Thus, the idea is that Carnap’s reduction rules can be applied resorting just to the system not implying cognitive effort. This paper goes one step further and poses that even from a Popperian perspective the reduction rules keep not being difficult. One might think that falsifiability requires cognitive effort because it needs to address situations in which the sentences are false. However, this paper tries to explain that, following the theory of mental models, that is not hard if the sentences are conditionals, and the sentences in the reduction rules have conditional structures.
O conceito de contradição em Hegel e a Logica Difusa
Authors: Borges Heldt Michele
Published: March 2024

Em minha tese de doutorado defendi que, para compreender como Hegel articula a passagem da contradição dialética à lógica, o conceito hegeliano de contradição deve ser analisado sob a perspectiva de uma antinomia. Para sustentar este argumento, propus uma atualização deste conceito a partir de uma estrutura antinômica. Essa atualização, porém, trouxe um outro problema: nessa reconstrução, a contradição, em Hegel, continua a se desenvolver de maneira gradativa, ao passo que a lógica tradicional trabalha apenas com valores de p e -p, e não com níveis de gradação. Assim, para continuar sustentando o argumento de que o conceito hegeliano de contradição, sob a perspectiva de uma antinomia, pode ser compreendido como uma contradição lógica, seria necessário encontrar uma lógica que não operasse apenas com valores binários, mas também com níveis de gradação. Foi a partir dessa necessidade que surgiu a ideia de aplicar o conceito de contradição em Hegel à Lógica Difusa, e esta é, portanto, a proposta do presente artigo.

Nonlinear Model Predictive Control-based Collision Avoidance for Mobile Robot
Authors: Ismael Omar Y. , Almaged Mohammed , Abdulla Abdulla Ibrahim
Published: March 2024

This work proposes an efficient and safe single-layer Nonlinear Model Predictive Control (NMPC) system based on LiDAR to solve the problem of autonomous navigation in cluttered environments with previously unidentified static and dynamic obstacles of any shape. Initially, LiDAR sensor data is collected. Then, the Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) algorithm, is used to cluster the (Lidar) points that belong to each obstacle together. Moreover, a Minimum Euclidean Distance (MED) between the robot and each obstacle with the aid of a safety margin is utilized to implement safety-critical obstacle avoidance rather than existing methods in the literature that depend on enclosing the obstacles with a circle or minimum bounding ellipse. After that, to impose avoidance constraints with feasibility guarantees and without compromising stability, an NMPC for set-point stabilization is taken into consideration with a design strategy based on terminal inequality and equality constraints. Consequently, numerous obstacles can be avoided at the same time efficiently and rapidly through unstructured environments with narrow corridors.  Finally, a case study with an omnidirectional wheeled mobile robot (OWMR) is presented to assess the proposed NMPC formulation for set-point stabilization. Furthermore, the efficacy of the proposed system is tested by experiments in simulated scenarios using a robot simulator named CoppeliaSim in combination with MATLAB which utilizes the CasADi Toolbox, and Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox. Two simulation scenarios are considered to show the performance of the proposed framework. The first scenario considers only static obstacles while the second scenario is more challenging and contains static and dynamic obstacles. In both scenarios, the OWMR successfully reached the target pose (1.5m, 1.5m, 0°) with a small deviation. Four performance indices are utilized to evaluate the set-point stabilization performance of the proposed control framework including the steady-state error in the posture vector which is less than 0.02 meters for position and 0.012 for orientation, and the integral of norm squared actual control inputs which is 19.96 and 21.74 for the first and second scenarios respectively. The proposed control framework shows a positive performance in a narrow-cluttered environment with unknown obstacles.
Impact of microporous polysaccharide haemostatic agent on patients undergoing mastectomy or axillary dissection on seroma formation and timing of drain removal
Authors: Mahmood Sarah , Brodaric Alen Maximillian , Srinivasan Rajkumar , Cohen-Hallaleh Ruben
Published: March 2024

Background: Seroma formation is a known complication following mastectomy and axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) leading to morbidity and financial implications for patients. ARISTATM AH has been designed to prevent postoperative seromas formation in vitro.
Methods: We performed a single institution, single surgeon retrospective study from January 2017 to December 2022 in patients undergoing mastectomy/axillary dissection to evaluate seroma formation rates and timing of drain removal.
Results: A total of 72 cases were included in our retrospective review of electronic medical records. Of these, 40 patients underwent ipsilateral mastectomies with sentinel node biopsies, 8 patients underwent bilateral mastectomies, and 18 patients underwent axillary dissections without concurrent mastectomy. Our analysis showed a non-significant decrease in seroma formation when ARISTATM AH was used intra-operatively (10%) compared to standard care (24%), (p=0.14). The ARISTATM AH group had a statistically significantly longer mean drain removal time than the standard care group (12.9 vs 7.6 days, p=0.002).
Conclusions: There was a trend towards lower seroma formation and a significantly longer requirement for drain placement after mastectomy in ARISTATM AH group. Further research including randomised controlled multi-centre study evaluating the benefit of topical haemostatic agents in reducing seroma formation in breast surgery is warranted.

Published: March 2024

Leprosy amongst younger age indicates active foci of transmission in the community. Our aim is to analyse the epidemiological profile, clinical spectrum, reactions and deformities of leprosy among children and adolescents.

This is a prospective observational study conducted on all newly diagnosed leprosy patients under the age of 19 years for one year.

Of 113 newly diagnosed leprosy cases, 38 patients were under 19 years of age. Male-female ratio was 5.3:1. Mean age was 16.6 years. Borderline tuberculoid (BT) was the most common type followed by borderline lepromatous (BL) and Indeterminate (I) leprosy most common manifestation was hypopigmented anaesthetic skin lesion over exposed parts. 79% had multiple nerve trunk involvement of which ulnar nerve was the most common. Reaction and deformity were found to be in 21% and 18.3%. Both were seen only in multibacillary cases and predominantly in 15-19years of age. Risk factors for reactions were male sex, increasing age, labourers, borderline spectrum, skin lesion involving the nerve trunk, multiple nerve involvement and smear positivity. Risk factors for deformities were migrants in lower socio-economic status, increased duration of active disease and delayed diagnosis.

Leprosy, a disease of long incubation period, among adolescents may indicate missed cases of childhood leprosy. Training through integrated service in early diagnosis and its complication, introduction of an exclusive type of treatment (MB MDT) for all categories for a shortened duration and newer drugs for reactions, sustained commitment to follow-up care and health education among community is a need at this post elimination era.

Workplace antecedents of quiet quitting behavior: Insights from graduate workers in India
Authors: Nimmi Mohandas P. , Jayakumar Dharan , Muthuraman Niranjana , Nair Gangothri P. , Donald William E.
Published: March 2024

Drawing on the theoretical framework of Job Demands-Resources (JD-R), our study aims to consider how workplace antecedents of perceived quiet firing (also known as involuntary attrition), perceived co-worker support, and experience (tenure at an organization) may influence quiet quitting behavior. Data were collected via questionnaire responses from 209 workers in India who had graduated from university within the last 7 years. The findings show that (1) perceived quiet firing is positively associated with quiet quitting; (2) perceived co-worker support is negatively associated with quiet quitting; (3) experience moderates the positive association between perceived quiet firing and quiet quitting in such a way that the relationship is weaker as one’s tenure at an organization increases; and (4) experience does not moderate the negative association between perceived co-worker support and quiet quitting. The study’s contributions come from understanding how the interplay of demands (i.e., perceived quiet firing) and resources (i.e., perceived co-worker support and experience) determine quiet quitting behaviors in the workplace. Additionally, the temporal dimension of experience facilitates the acquisition of organizational-specific knowledge and resources. In contrast, perceptions of co-worker support appear specific to a given point in time. Policy implications come from providing guidance to organizations on how to reduce quiet quitting behaviors by ensuring that the resources available to employees exceed the demands placed on them.
Effect of Freeze-Thaw on CBR in Soils with Different Gradation and Mineralogy
Authors: Gülen Murat , Aslan Fidan Ayşenur , Köşeli Ahmet Serdar , Kılıç Havvanur
Published: March 2024

Freeze-thaw cycles are prevalent climatic phenomena with substantial effects on soils, leading to alterations in soil strength, stiffness, and hydraulic properties due to disruptions in the soil structure. With the ongoing climate change, weather patterns have grown progressively erratic, resulting in more frequent occurrences of extreme weather events, including heavy snowfall, intense rainfall, and windstorms, even in regions characterized typically with mild climates across the globe. The climate change can potentially threat man-made infrastructure constructed within or upon local soils, regardless of their susceptibility to freezing in temperate climates. The principal objective of this study is to assess the influence of freeze-thaw cycles on the California Bearing Ratio (CBR %) across 12 distinct soils with variations in granulometry and mineralogy. The freeze-thaw cycles resulted in a notable decrease in CBR (%) within the range of 40% to 70%. A strong inverse correlation with D50 was observed regarding the decrease in CBR (%). Nevertheless, it was discerned that the decrease in CBR (%) subsequent to freeze-thaw cycles varied among soil samples sharing identical D50 and liquid limit characteristics. The aim of this study is to enhance our comprehension of how freeze-thaw cycles can impact the bearing capacity of these soils, thereby providing essential insights for predicting their behavior and potential influence on infrastructure in the context of climate change.

The issues of modeling neutralized and disposed of waste from production and consumption of industrial production facilities are considered. The types of economic activities related to industrial production are considered: mining, manufacturing, supply of electricity, gas and steam;

air conditioning. For these types of economic activity, statistical data on the volume of shipped products of own production, the volume of generated production and consumption waste, disposed and neutralized waste, and current environmental protection costs were analyzed. The general trends inherent in all types of economic activity under consideration, as well as the characteristic features of each of them, are revealed. Regression multifactorial models have been developed that reflect the impact of production volume and environmental protection costs on the amount of non-neutralized and non-utilized production waste.

The studies have been carried out on the accumulation of beryllium in bottom sediments of the river. Kosva (Western Urals, RF), which receives acidic waters from 8 water outflows, characterized by a sulfate iron-calcium composition, high mineralization and a significant beryllium content. It is concluded that a river suspension of colloidal size acts as a sorption barrier for beryllium, transported with the flow of water and gradually settling at the bottom. It is noted that the aggregation of particles among themselves with the formation of a larger suspension leads to the fact that, with distance from the source of pollution, a gradual increase in the beryllium content in coarse water suspension is observed with a decrease in the total beryllium content in water. It is recommended that the identified features of beryllium migration and accumulation be taken into account when developing environmental protection measures for the ecological rehabilitation of the river Kosvy.

Modern socio-economic conditions necessitate the active involvement of the population and, first of all, youth in the activities of civil society institutions, including the work of non-profit organizations that can become a driving force for the integration and mobilization of society.

It is this personal and professional skill that can help a young person quickly adapt to changing conditions and can provide the necessary competitive advantage in employment and career advancement. Specialists in working with youth are able to become conductors of project thinking in the youth sphere; their activities can have a significant impact on the dissemination of the project approach among representatives of the new generation. In the course the sociological study, it was found that NPOs are a significant partner of educational organizations in the formation of project thinking of future specialists in working with youth. The existing practices of interaction between universities and NPOs in these matters serve as the basis for further expansion of cooperation and improvement of the educational process.

Authors:   Saratov State University, Shestov Nikolay I. , Vilkov Alexander A. ,   Saratov State University, Kazakov Alexander A. ,   Saratov State University
Published: March 2024

The article substantiates the difference between political science and sociological approaches to the analysis of political identities of young people. The authors come to the conclusion that the sociological approach in most cases assumes that political identities of citizens are analyzed and interpreted by the researcher as relevant at the time of conducting sociological research as a resource and tool for political selfreproduction of the social system. The political science approach implies that political identities are studied from the perspective of probable and necessary changes in their content, as well as the political risks that may arise in the wake of such changes. In order to increase the accuracy of predicting further political participation of young citizens, it is important for a political scientist to identify how a young person sees his or her personal contribution to the implementation of identity changes, or to counteract them, which life-meaning guidelines (s)he is willing to sacrifice for the sake of participation in politics, and which ones (s)he is not.

Unamuno, filología y posiciones sobre las lenguas. Postceptos americanos
Authors: Bentivegna Diego
Published: March 2024

En este artículo me propongo reflexionar sobre la incidencia de Unamuno para pensar algunos aspectos de lo que se ha llamado filología “novomundana”, con las implicancias glotopolíticas que ella tiene. Con tal fin, tomo como punto de partida uno de los últimos escritos de Unamuno, Comunidad de la lengua hispánica, de 1935, publicado por primera vez en Buenos Aires un año antes de su muerte. Desde la noción de “filología expandida”, me detengo en algunos conceptos que pueden encontrarse en ese texto y que involucran cuestiones como el panhispanismo, la comunidad de lengua, las formas ortográficas, etc. Recorro así algunas tensiones y disputas sobre la filología en momentos anteriores de la obra de Unamuno y retomo algunas lecturas que se hicieron de ella desde América (Bergamín en México, Mariátegui en Perú, Rosenblat en la Argentina) y que enfatizan la cuestión de la palabra en el pensador español.

Authors: Vigano Martínez Natalia Elizabeth
Published: March 2024

Numerosas mujeres y niñas que buscan refugio en la Unión Europea (UE), particularmente aquellas que son víctimas de diversos tipos de violencia de género, como sucede en los supuestos de trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual, se encuentran en una situación de extrema vulnerabilidad. Esta fragilidad se ve acentuada por un sistema que, en numerosas ocasiones, las margina y las somete nuevamente a situaciones de victimización. Así pues, el propósito del presente trabajo consiste en analizar, desde una perspectiva de género, los regímenes de protección internacional implementados por la UE y por España, con el objetivo de comprender en detalle el contenido y alcance de la protección otorgada a estas víctimas.

Denegación de exequátur por tribunal francés de una sentencia extranjera dictada por juez no competente
Authors: Torrez Peralta William
Published: March 2024

En el presente artículo se analiza la denegación de una solicitud de exequátur por parte de un Tribunal francés de una resolución judicial firme de Nicaragua, con fundamento en la falta de competencia de los órganos jurisdiccionales de ese país. La no competencia del Tribunal nicaragüense se origina en virtud de que el legislador introduce la doctrina del forum non conveniens en la Ley Especial 364/2000, aprobada para proteger a las personas que fueron perjudicadas por el pesticida llamado «nemagón». Con dicha Ley se pretendía dar respuesta a los numerosos reclamos y resarcir los daños ocasionados a la salud de los obreros agrícolas que habían trabajado con este pesticida durante años en las plantaciones de banano en Nicaragua. El resultado fue el contrario al deseado. La extralimitación del legislador al acoger la tesis del forum non conveniens provocó que el Juez que había conocido del proceso declarativo en Nicaragua fuese considerado incompetente por el Tribunal de exequátur de Francia.
