Authors: Sotelo Daniel , Capellino Romina , Flores Moure María José , Grasso Verónica
Published: December 2021

Los trastornos espontáneos del movimiento son observados con elevada frecuencia en la esquizofrenia. Conforman, junto con los síntomas negativos y cognitivos, aquellas manifestaciones más ligadas al deterioro de esta compleja condición, aunque son insuficientes para realizar el diagnostico. Cuando los síntomas psicóticos se expresan, estos fenómenos seguramente han estadogenerando consecuencias deletéreas durante años. Dentro de estos componentes intrínsecos, los trastornos motores son los máspostergados, paradójicamente, como consecuencia del progreso de la farmacoterapia. El tratamiento con antipsicóticos modificó la clínica de la esquizofrenia al producir mejorías en síntomas positivos, desorganizacióny agitación, pero también produjeron un cambio de otro orden, con los efectos colaterales que, muchas veces, ofrecen dificultad en ser distinguidos de la propia patología. Sobre todo, los neurolépticos comparten en mayor o menor medida la producción de síntomas extrapiramidales, expresados clásicamente en alteraciones motoras. Por ello, muchas veces se asocian, equivocadamente, estos movimientos anormales a la medicación antipsicótica de manera excluyente, ensombreciendo a aquellas manifestacionesmotoras primarias. El objetivo de este trabajo es destacar características, importancia y relación con la terapéutica convencional de los trastornos espontáneos del movimiento en la esquizofrenia.

Introducción: la relación entre bullying y comportamiento suicida (CS) adolescente se manifiesta por altos índices de intentos o suicidios consumados en víctimas de maltrato. A pesar de la importancia del tema son pocos los estudios que dan cuenta de los pormenores de la relación entre estas variables lo que dificulta la crear intervenciones eficaces. El objetivo de este estudio fue proporcionaruna visión más detallada acerca de la relación entre bullying y CS. Método: Revisión sistemática de literatura incluyendo publicaciones de índices bibliográficos, ScienceDirect y Pubmed utilizando los términos “bullying” AND “suicidal behavior” AND “adolescents” AND “school harassment” AND “school mistreatment” y sus correspondientes en español publicados desde 2012 hasta 2018. Resultados: se incluyeron 21 artículos de 272 iniciales que muestran los pormenores de la relación entre bullying y comportamiento suicida: edad, género, tipos y frecuencias de victimización (verbal, física, relacional, cyberbullying, sexual y polivictimización) y su relación con variables del CS (ideación, planificación, intentos y suicidio consumado). Conclusiones: comunicar que solo hecho de recibir bullying resulta en CS minimiza la existencia de otros factores moduladores y empeora el entendimiento de la relación entre los fenómenos conduciendo a una negligencia en potenciales acciones que pudieran llevarse a cabo en intervención.

O modelo de tecnificação da política estadual de defesa civil em Santa Catarina: a trajetória do projeto JICA e os desastres ambientais no Vale do Itajaí
Authors: Santos Alexandre Evangelista , Rocha Isa De Oliveira
Published: December 2021

O presente artigo pretende analisar o modelo de tecnificação adotado pela Defesa Civil de Santa Catarina. Trata-se de uma proposta que decorre da percepção de mudanças na Política Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Civil em 2012, em que o discurso tecnocientífico é inserido como matriz central da política nacional. O problema que se coloca é qual o objetivo dessa proposta, as mudanças que traz consigo e suas consequências. Para essa reflexão, o percurso que se seguiu foi a realização de um estudo de caso com escopo no pensamento da sociologia dos desastres. O caso selecionado foi o Projeto JICA, que tem papel relevante na organização da defesa civil de Santa Catarina. O estudo do JICA revela pistas importantes sobre o sentido que a PNPDC pode estar adquirindo, por se tratar de uma experiência de referência nacional. Para o estudo, foi realizada a revisão teórico-bibliográfica do contexto de emergência do Projeto JICA, o processo de sua implantação e o papel que esse processo teve no desenvolvimento da política estadual de defesa civil. Ainda, foram feitas entrevistas em que se buscou analisar a conformação do debate político em debate técnico, além da confrontação de dados documentais, como o Plano Plurianual, o Estudo Preparatório para o Projeto de Prevenção e Mitigação de Desastres na Bacia do Rio Itajaí e reportagens de grande circulação publicadas em 2015, para levantar os impactos produzidos por essa mudança. O estudo aponta que o marcador “proteção”, como conceito orientador da política de defesa civil, encobre um conjunto de interesses em disputa no poder político, nos quais os setores empresariais têm vantagem ao assumirem o discurso tecnocientífico como ferramenta precisa de confrontação. Como decorrência, os seus interesses se generalizam como interesse geral da população atingida, concentrando poder político. Foram levantadas várias consequências desse processo, das quais, a mais cruel, é o uso do sofrimento das vítimas dos desastres.
O Mecanismo Internacional de Varsóvia para Perdas e Danos: uma análise de seu primeiro ciclo
Authors: Boechat Lívia Preti , Ribeiro Wagner Costa
Published: December 2021

Em um cenário marcado por modificações ambientais agudas, surge o Mecanismo Internacional de Varsóvia, o primeiro instrumento de cooperação internacional focado na minimização das perdas e danos inevitáveis associadas aos impactos das mudanças climáticas criado sob a égide da Convenção Quadro das Nações Unidas sobre Mudanças Climáticas (UNFCCC). Este artigo trata-se de uma avaliação de sua institucionalização e primeiro ciclo de funcionamento, entre 2013 e 2016, que, baseado em pesquisa documental, se inicia com uma discussão sobre o aumento do número e intensidade dos desastres relacionados ao clima, em seguida aborda as noções de perdas e danos por meio de revisão bibliográfica e, posteriormente, parte para a discussão do Mecanismo Internacional de Varsóvia, por meio do escrutínio de seu processo de criação, estruturação e implementação. Por fim, conclui-se que essa nova estrutura organizacional no âmbito da UNFCCC é mais uma alternativa complexa que se mostra de difícil implementação em um cenário muitas vezes adverso à cooperação internacional, inclusive para temas relevantes, como os que envolvem os impactos das mudanças climáticas.
Práticas educativas para a gestão de riscos de desastres na educação não formal: uma pesquisa envolvendo estudantes e professores de escola participante do projeto Agente Mirim de Defesa Civil
Authors: Ribeiro Jefferson , Vieira Rafaela , Chaveca Laura Grimberg De Sousa
Published: December 2021

A educação não formal realizada por técnicos que compõem a Defesa Civil (DC) municipal ou de outros setores do poder público vinculados à Gestão de Riscos de Desastres (GRD) tende a potencializar estratégias para evitar ou minimizar os impactos dos desastres naturais. Em alguns municípios é possível identificar essas ações de GRD. Em Blumenau, no estado de Santa Catarina, essa realidade é constante desde o ano de 2013. Por meio de dois projetos, dentre eles o Agente Mirim de Defesa Civil (AMDC), estudantes do ensino fundamental do município são capacitados em GRD. O objetivo da pesquisa foi analisar como a educação, por meio do uso de recursos tecnológicos, pode contribuir para obter melhorias na comunicação e aplicação de práticas pedagógicas voltadas à promoção de medidas de sensibilização e preparação da população, frente aos riscos de desastres, identificando-se estratégias inovadoras internacionais e analisando a experiência local de Blumenau, com as ações do projeto AMDC da DC municipal. O levantamento de dados da pesquisa pautou-se em diferentes bases bibliográficas internacionais e pesquisa de campo, envolvendo estudantes e professores de uma escola de Blumenau, com uso de questionários. Entre os resultados da pesquisa bibliográfica, foram localizados 18 modelos de capacitações que abordam em sua maioria os deslizamentos, tendo os técnicos das DCs como os principais profissionais responsáveis pela mediação das atividades. Os participantes são, em sua maioria, do ensino fundamental. As atividades ocorrem principalmente no ambiente escolar e as práticas mais frequentes são visitas em áreas de risco. Em relação à experiência local de Blumenau, os estudantes que já haviam participado do projeto souberam identificar e definir o que entendem por GRD e percebem quando os professores abordam esse tema. Contudo, poucos professores reconhecem que trazem esse conhecimento para sua prática docente, após a realização do projeto AMDC.
POLINEUROPATIA AMILOIDÓTICA FAMILIAR: UMA REVISÃO DE LITERATURA
Authors: Monteiro Beatriz Rezende , Fonseca-Neto Olival Cirilo Lucena da
Published: December 2021

Introdução: A amiloidose é definida como um grupo heterogêneo de condições de etiologia desconhecida, sendo a polineuropatia amiloidótica familiar uma das formas hereditárias existentes. Essa mutação geralmente leva à polineuropatia sensoriomotora e autonômica progressiva, podendo apresentar casos tanto esporádicos quanto familiares. O espectro clínico é bastante variável, assim como a severidade dos depósitos amilóides. O transplante de fígado e o Tafamidis são as principais opções terapêuticas disponíveis no Brasil. Objetivo: Reforçar os aspectos mais importantes de uma condição tão heterogênea como a PAF, além de revisar também as opções terapêuticas possíveis, de acordo com o estágio da doença. Métodos: Foi revisada literatura no PUBMED, no período de janeiro de 2015 a dezembro de 2019, utilizando a combinação dos descritores Familial amyloid neuropathy AND Liver transplantation AND treatment. Resultados: A PAF é uma condição sistêmica e progressiva, de caráter hereditário, provocada por uma mutação no gene da TTR, sendo Val30Met a variação mais comumente encontrada. O depósito amilóide inicia-se muito antes do início do quadro clínico, assim como em outras doenças neurodegenerativas. A sintomatologia da PAF pode variar de acordo com a mutação genética e com os órgãos envolvidos, sendo o coração e os nervos periféricos os principais. O clássico fenótipo dessa condição é caracterizado por neuropatia predominantemente, nas pequenas fibras com perda sensorial dissociada, além de envolvimento autonômico precoce e uma história familiar positiva. No Brasil, o tempo entre o início dos primeiros sintomas e o diagnóstico da PAF é de 5,9 anos, sendo esse tempo um obstáculo para a otimização do manejo da doença. A abordagem do paciente com PAF requer cuidado multidisciplinar com abordagem sintomática, anti-amiloidótica e outras terapias específicas em caso de envolvimento cardíaco, ocular, gastrointestinal e renal. O transplante hepático vem sendo associado a um prognóstico positivo em longo prazo, em pacientes em estágios precoces da doença, jovens, bom status nutricional, curta duração da doença e com a variação Val30Met. Conclusão: Nos dias atuais, apesar de a PAF ser uma doença incurável, é possível atingir o controle da sua progressão, a partir do reconhecimento e diagnóstico precoce associado ao início da terapêutica apropriada. A abordagem multidisciplinar deve sempre ser realizada e as estratégias terapêuticas devem ir além da terapia anti-amiloidótica.

OBJECTIVE: To describe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) morbidity and mortality in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) in the state of Bahia, Brazil. METHODS: This is an ecological study involving identified and active LTCFs in Bahia, monitored by the Intersectoral Monitoring Commission of LTCFs. Data analysis included COVID-19 incidence among older residents and workers and COVID-19 hospitalization, fatality, and mortality rates among older residents. In addition to a global analysis of data from Bahia, a stratified analysis compared (i) the East macroregion with the rest of Bahia, and (ii) private LTCFs with philanthropic ones. RESULTS: Our sample consisted of 175 LTCFs, more than half located in the East macroregion (n = 99). Most facilities declared themselves as philanthropic (n = 94) or private (n = 59). From April/2020 to June/2021, COVID-19 incidence was 30.71% among residents and 19.86% among LTCF workers. Considering older residents, mortality was 3.57% and fatality was 11.63%. Incidence was lower in the East macroregion, for older residents (relative risk [RR] = 0.77; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.68–0.87) and LTCF workers (RR = 0.70; 95%CI 0.59–0.83). The hospitalization rate due to COVID-19 was 19.97%, being higher in private LTCFs (RR = 1.61; 95%CI 1.30–2.00). CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals that COVID-19 morbidity and mortality in LTCFs in Bahia were consistent with the wide ranges described in the literature, although case fatality was lower than expected. This demonstrates the importance of strategies to coordinate, identify, assess, and target support for LTCFs, highlighting the need for stronger public policies.

Authors: Everink Irma H. J. , Gordon Adam L. , Rijcken Suzanne , Osmancevic Selvedina , Schols Jos M. G. A.
Published: December 2021

Long-term care (LTC) for older adults is an essential part of how health and social care systems respond to population ageing. Different long-term care systems in different countries have taken differing approaches to quality assurance, ranging from inspection-based regulatory systems to data and reporting-based regulatory systems. The significant variability in the ability of long-term care facilities to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased recognition of the role of standardized data in informing structured approaches to quality assurance. The International Prevalence Measurement of Care Quality (in Dutch: Landelijke Prevalentiemeting Zorgkwaliteit – LPZ) was developed to guide continuous quality improvement in long-term care facilities. This special article describes the LPZ tool, developed to provide input for the learning and improvement cycle of multidisciplinary teams in the LTC sector and to help improve care quality.

Research and Innovation in Society: Contextualizing a Society Touch in the Academic Block in Tanzania
Authors: Ngonzi Tibuhinda , Jisaba Andrew
Published: December 2021

In the triad of academic and specialized research institutions, business, and society blocks, the academic and specialized research institutions domain is naturally expected to be the leader or the principal producers in research and innovation for development (R&I for D). The remaining business and society entities on the other hand are expected to be the target consumers of the products. For production to happen however, the producers need resources, incentives and motivations as factor inputs. The factors may originate in intra-domains for the respective domain’s own use of end results such as it is for business organizations, or across domains for mutual benefits. In turn, the origination of the motives and incentives play a role in defining the relevance of the R&I products such as the emergence of appropriate research for appropriate innovations. It is in the observations of this paper that overtime, R&I in Tanzania is becoming undermined by the decline in the cross dimensional flow, specifically the academic (universities) versus society flow. In fact, apart from the specialized institutions, the academics member of the producer block is increasingly becoming too specialized and servicing its own motives in comparison to addressing societal needs. In this paper, we theoretically challenge the phenomenon and use the functional perspectives of the Triple helix model (THM) of university-industry-government cooperation to suggest for innovative education in enhancement of cross border interactions between university and society.

Published: December 2021

Early childhood children tend to make musical expressions watching other children or the teacher’s piano accompaniment. However, it has not been inspected yet how eye movement is affected by music. To provide the optimized procedure to capture eye movement’s characteristics reflecting music, the statistical technique was used to evaluate effective parameters. In this study, eye trackers (Tobii Glasses 2) were used to acquire data of eye movements during musical expression of early childhood children and to conduct quantitative analysis. 3-year-old, 4-year-old, and 5- year-old children in two early childhood facilities (n=58) participated in eye-tracking while singing multiple songs of major and minor. This paper focuses on saccade (rapid eye movement) and gaze behaviors of early childhood children and mainly conducts, a three-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) on the acquired data (age * facility*tonality). As a result, it was found that the number of occurrences of saccade and the total moving distances of saccade showed a statistical significance between means regarding differences in the tonality of major/minor key of songs, and childcare forms.

“Cali, lo mejor de la gente” es una marca diseñada para la ciudad Santiago de Cali con el fin de aportar a la construcción de las relaciones entre los ciudadanos y el civismo de la ciudad. Creada mediante la metodología básica de diseño que busca satisfacer las necesidades de la audiencia, la imagen de marca sintetiza la ciudad y la imagen se convierte en un punto de referencia que puede llegar a ser una fuente de inspiración para mejorar el comportamiento individual y colectivo de sus ciudadanos. Esto con el fin de posicionar una ciudad y su producción en los distintos mercados y, desde una imagen, movilizar al ciudadano por una causa común: el territorio común, la ciudad como espacio apto para producir calidad de vida. 

El diseño de una marca ciudad puede coadyuvar a trazar el rumbo que tendrá la ciudad de Santiago de Cali y sus habitantes en conjunto con los gobiernos locales. Es así como la implementación de políticas gubernamentales que contribuyan al desarrollo de la identidad local permitirá que la ciudad tenga un direccionamiento claro y establecerá nuevas metas para la urbe y sus habitantes. 

Esta investigación busca elaborar una metodología básica de diseño para crear la marca de ciudad y planear un modelo de ciudad idóneo.

Transportation of 10 Gbps, 10 Gbps/40 GHz, 10 Gbps/200 MHz data for downlink (DL) and 6 Gbps data for uplink (UL) transmission with Rayleigh backscattering (RB) noise mitigation for wired and wireless users even in radio-frequency sensitive areas have been proposed and investigated. A 2×2 wavelength-division-multiplexing mux/demux is employed to separate DL and UL to avoid RB noise. Power penalty of < 1 dB at Bit error rate value of 10−9 and clear eye-diagrams express the reliability and fruitfulness of the proposed network.

Published: December 2021

Background and objective: To know the direct relationships between stress, sleep quality, depressive symptoms, resiliency, and quality of life of nursing students. Less is known about how the simultaneous relationships between these variables may explain the nursing students’ quality of life remains unclear. We assessed how the simultaneous causal relationships among stress, depressive symptoms, sleep quality, and resilience explain the nursing students’ quality of life one year after starting a nursing degree program.Methods: This was a one-year longitudinal study. Data were gathered with validated tools from first university-year nursing students enrolled in two public Brazilian universities at the beginning (n = 117) and end (n = 100) of March 2016. The latent variable analysis- a complement of the R statistical package- was used to estimate the Structural Equation Modelling.Results: The final model showed good fitness and residues quality. Stress decreased sleep quality and increased the intensity of the depressive symptoms. Both of these, directly and indirectly, reduced the quality of life. Resiliency decreased stress levels and depressive symptoms and improved sleep quality.Conclusions: The academic environment has the potential for illnesses, impacting the quality of life. On other hand, resiliency plays a protective role on nursing students by reducing stress and its negative effects. Education institutions need to rethink their curricular elements, promote resilience and create actions to promote students’ health.
YAPIŞTIRMA BAĞLANTILARINDA KOHEZİF BÖLGE MODELİ UYGULAYARAK VE UYGULAMADAN MODELLEME YAPILMASININ GERİLME DAĞILIMINA ETKİSİNİN ARAŞTIRILMASI
Authors: SARAÇ İsmail
Published: December 2021

Yapıştırma bağlantılarının mekanik özelliklerinin belirlenmesinde kullanılan sayısal yöntemler zaman içerisinde gelişim göstermiştir. Başlangıçta maksimum gerilme/gerinim yöntemi kullanılarak analizler yapıldı. Bunu takiben, yapıştırma bağlantılarında oluşan hasarın bir çeşit kırılma problemi olması nedeniyle kırılma mekaniği yaklaşımları kullanılmaya başlandı. İlk olarak Lineer Elastik Kırılma Mekaniği temelli çalışmalar yoğun bir şekilde yapıldı. Lineer Elastik Kırılma Mekaniği yaklaşımıyla önemli oranda başarılı çalışmalar yapılmasına rağmen, çatlak ucunda oluşan gerilme alanının tamamen elastik kabulü ve plastik şekil değişiminin ihmal edilmesi nedeniyle bazı sınırlamalarla karşılaşılmıştır. Lineer Elastik Kırılma mekaniğindeki bu sınırlama nedeniyle non-Lineer Elastik Kırılma Mekaniğine odaklanılarak çalışmalar yapılmıştır. 1990’ lı yılarda ise özellikle kohezif bölge modeli hızlı bir gelişme göstermiştir. Tokluğu yüksek yapıştırıcıların, uygulamada artan kullanımıyla birlikte, yapıştırma bağlantılarının doğrusal olmayan kırılma davranışlarını incelemek daha da önemli oldu. Yapılan bu çalışmada, tek tesirli yapıştırma bağlantılarında, yapıştırcı ile yapıştırılan malzeme ara bölgelerinde, kohezif bölge modeli uygulayarak ve koheziv bölge modeli uygulamadan modelleme yapılmasının, gerilme ve strain enerji dağılımlarına etkileri incelenmiştir. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda, yapıştırma bağlantılarında kohezif bölge modeli uygulamanın fiziksel probleme daha uygun olduğu ve yapıştırıcı tabakasındaki soyulma gerilmesi, kayma gerilmesi ve strain enerji dağılımı açısından önemli farklılıklar olduğu gösterilmiştir.
Contribution of Siddi Lebbe for Educational Development of Sri Lankan Muslims – A Historical perspective
Authors: ALM Mujahid
Published: December 2021

Mr. Siddilebbe was one of the great personalities of Sri Lanka. He was a lawyer, educationist, scholar, philosopher, divination, writer, publisher, social reformer, proctor, visionary and Muslim community leader. Also as the leader of Sri Lankan Muslim community, he guided the Muslims to be released from the traditional conservative thoughts of refusing modernization to forward looking one in order to survive in the prevailing contemporary situation. During the era of Siddi Lebbe, the Muslims face a huge drawback in all the fields such a political, economic and social. The service rendered by Mr Siddi Lebbe were widespread and countless in the fields of politics, economy, education, culture and religion of Sri Lankan Muslims. We can figure out these facts when we analyze and asses his works and services accomplished by him having considered the prevailed situations of Muslims in the 19th century. Thus the ultimate aim of this research is to bring to light the contributions made by Mr Siddi Lebbe to the development of motherland, to both Muslims and the other brotherly communities. Furthermore, I hope this would be secondary date based research and useful for those who engage in researches about the great scholar Mr Siddi Lebbe.

Breve análisis de Confesiones de San Agustín X.1.1.
Authors: Villegas Rodríguez Manuel
Published: December 2021

San Agustín establece una íntima conexión del Libro X, Capítulo 1º de sus Confesiones, tanto en su temática como en su redacción retórica, con el Capítulo 1º del Libro I. En ese Capítulo se presenta, a semejanza de mi anterior estudio al Libro I,1, un breve análisis de las palabras utilizadas por san Agustín cuyo resultado obliga a disentir de traducciones que tergiversan el sentido de las que fueron elegidas por el Obispo de Hipona (cognoscam y virtus). San Agustín, como san Pablo se refieren al amor y conocimiento en el futuro eterno.  Sin pretender ser exhaustivo en el recuento de las ediciones en lengua española que contienen el error señalado ascienden a más de 140 y alrededor de 4 en las que se traduce correctamente la palabra cognoscam.
