Published: August 2024

RESUMO Introdução: O curso de Medicina do Centro Universitário de Votuporanga (Unifev), aprovado em 2012, teve a primeira turma graduada em 2018. O Projeto Político Pedagógico do Curso (PPC), baseado nas Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais (DCN), utiliza de metodologias ativas, entre elas a aprendizagem baseada em problemas. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o perfil profissional, a trajetória e a adaptação ao mercado de trabalho do médico formado pelo Unifev, além das fragilidades e fortalezas da matriz pedagógica, a partir das percepções dos egressos. Método: Trata-se de um estudo transversal, descritivo e qualiquantitativo do qual participaram 114 egressos. O estudo foi aprovado pelo Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa do Unifev. Aplicou-se, via Google Forms, um questionário semiestruturado sobre dados pessoais, informações profissionais e acadêmicas, opiniões referentes à formação dos egressos e o PPC. Resultado: Responderam 80 (70,2%) egressos distribuídos no estado de São Paulo, com maior representação feminina (71,2%). No primeiro ano após a formatura, 41,5% atuavam na urgência/emergência e 18,4% na atenção primária, com 282 postos de trabalho ocupados (2,6 ± 1,2 postos por pessoa). Sessenta e sete (83,3%) egressos obtiveram financiamento estudantil, sem relação com a faixa salarial mensal atual (dez ou mais salários mínimos para 55,5%). Poucos (n = 27; 33,8%) estavam inseridos em programa de residência; muitos ainda pretendem cursá-lo. Grande parte (72,5%) realizou curso preparatório para residência. A integração das áreas, a capacidade para o trabalho em equipe, o conhecimento das DCN e do PPC, e a ocorrência de momentos de tensão emocional/estresse foram referidos pela maioria dos respondentes (de 88,0% a 100%). Conclusão: Houve expressiva taxa de respostas com contribuições para um currículo mais próximo das necessidades dos alunos, ênfase na aprendizagem de temas das urgências e da pediatria, e no necessário cuidado com a saúde mental dos estudantes. O curso foi bem avaliado pelos respondentes, e o financiamento estudantil provou ser uma importante política, com resultados consideráveis para a jovem instituição. O estudo representa o primeiro passo para a criação de um elo mais robusto entre a instituição e seus egressos, auxiliando na concepção da cultura de acompanhamento frequente de suas trajetórias e repercutindo na avaliação do programa curricular, na medida em que oferece aos gestores do curso um diagnóstico para manter os acertos e alertar sobre possíveis ajustes.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Comprehensive child health care is a guideline in pediatric teaching, and it is essential to develop practical activities considering all levels of health care in the Unified Health System. Objectives: To describe the hours involved, practice scenarios and preceptorship in pediatric and childcare teaching in medical schools. Method: A cross-sectional study using a questionnaire with 43 objectives and two open questions, sent by electronic forms to medical schools across the country that had already graduated at least one class in 2019. Results: 37 (14.97%) medical schools with at least one graduated class answered the questionnaire (16 public and 21 private schools) from 14 states in the five regions of the country. A median of 940.5 hours was found for the teaching of pediatrics, equivalent to 11% of the total medical course; 13 schools included child health topics since the first year and the majority (75.8%) from the third year onwards. Practical activities predominated in the internship: 87.5% (5th year) and 88.8% (6th year). The used settings include primary health care, general and specialty pediatric outpatient clinics, inpatient units, neonatology units, emergency services and simulation laboratories. It was reported that childcare teaching is carried out in general pediatric outpatient clinics (32 schools) and basic community health units (32 schools), with an emphasis on primary care as the essential setting for teaching childcare. Pediatric teachers provide preceptorship in all practice settings; non-teaching pediatricians from the medical institution or the local health system are more present in inpatient units (70.3% and 54.0%, respectively) and specialty outpatient clinics (54.0% and 35.1%, respectively). Conclusions: With the participation of 37 medical schools, this study has limitations for the generalizations about teaching in the country. Pediatric teaching is carried out in practice environments at all levels of care, demonstrating the importance of comprehensive child and adolescent health care, with an average of 11% of the course total workload allocated to this teaching. The predominant participation of pediatricians as teachers was observed. The learning of childcare has remained a relevant component of pediatric training and its development is significant in primary care, although there are challenges to preserving this practice setting.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT Introduction: Competency-based teaching in medical residencies has evidenced the mismatch between traditional assessment processes and the educational objectives of pedagogical projects aligned with the competency matrices of each specialty. The competency matrix for the Intensive Care Medicine Residency Program (3-year direct admission) was approved in 2021. The objective of this article is to describe an experience report of an intervention project in the performance assessment instruments of residents attending the Intensive Care Medicine Residency Program at a university hospital in São Luís-Maranhão. Experience Report: After organizing the study and working group for the intervention, the object “skills assessment tools” was chosen and the Intensive Care Medicine Residency Program was selected. Initially, a questionnaire was applied to all preceptors and residents working in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting with the aim of evaluating their perceptions regarding the current assessment tool, following the guiding question: does the current assessment meet the conception of the program translated by the competency matrix of the National Medical Residency Commission? Discussion: Although the majority of the preceptors and residents considered that the evaluation methods met the Program design, there were weaknesses in relation to feedback and evaluation of the residents’ performance. As an intervention, we proposed adapting the existing tool, making it adequate to the performance predicted in the specialty competency matrix with formalization of feedback and introduction of performance assessment in a real scenario using the Mini Clinical Assessment Exercise (Mini-CEX). Conclusion: The boundaries between assessment and learning are blurred. Based on indicators on the perception of preceptors and residents of weaknesses in the assessment used for a long time, an intervention was proposed to modify the assessment instruments with the aim of adapting/improving the assessment of skills.

Published: August 2024

RESUMO Introdução: Embora na literatura médica existam diversas métricas para avaliar a qualidade dos programas de residência, os instrumentos avaliativos tendem a focar as dimensões dos residentes e preceptores. Isso negligencia uma ampla gama de partes interessadas (stakeholders), cujas perspectivas são fundamentais para uma compreensão holística da qualidade dos programas. Objetivo: Diante desse contexto, esta revisão teve como objetivos mapear os principais stakeholders envolvidos na residência médica, identificar e categorizar as métricas de avaliação da qualidade dos programas mais prevalentes na literatura, e analisar a sua relevância em relação às perspectivas das partes interessadas. Método: Inicialmente, foi realizada uma revisão de escopo da literatura para identificar e categorizar os stakeholders, além de mapear as métricas de qualidade. Posteriormente, um painel Delphi foi conduzido para analisar a relevância dessas métricas em relação às perspectivas das partes interessadas identificadas. Resultado: Foram mapeados 14 stakeholders e identificadas 17 métricas, posteriormente divididas em quatro categorias principais. As métricas “adaptabilidade” e “bem-estar” se destacaram, sendo unanimemente reconhecidas por todos os stakeholders como “favorável” ou “altamente favorável”. Por sua vez, “autoavaliação” e “satisfação do paciente” receberam avaliações mais cautelosas ou negativas. Os painelistas enfatizaram que “nenhuma métrica é capaz de fornecer individualmente uma avaliação precisa da qualidade de um programa de residência médica”. Conclusão: Ao mapear os stakeholders da residência médica, bem como identificar, categorizar e analisar as métricas de avaliação da qualidade mais prevalentes, este estudo ampliou o debate sobre a complexidade das perspectivas em torno da formação médica. A diversidade de atores envolvidos justifica valorizações distintas das várias dimensões da qualidade, reforçando a conclusão de que métricas isoladas não capturam integralmente a qualidade dos programas. Na prática, os resultados sublinham a importância da implementação de sistemas de avaliação da qualidade que sejam equilibrados e alinhados com as expectativas e necessidades dos principais stakeholders.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT Epidemics of cashew powdery mildew are observed every year in most of the growing regions in Northeast Brazil. Currently, fungicide management is the main disease control strategy. This study aimed to compare powdery mildew epidemics according to the flowering periods in 2014 and 2019, in different dwarf cashew clones in 2018 and 2021, and with or without chemical control in 2016 and 2020. The disease severity data were used to calculate the variables area under the disease progress curve, final disease and onset of the epidemics, and the monomolecular linear model was used to calculate the initial disease incidence and disease progress rate. Regarding the flowering effect, it was found that, in 2014, the first flowering period stood out from the others for initial disease incidence, disease progress rate and area under the disease progress curve. In 2019, the third flowering period showed the lowest levels of initial disease incidence, area under the disease progress curve and final disease. As for the clones, ‘BRS 226’ stood out as the most resistant for most the disease variables in the two years of the study. The fungicide sprays had a significant effect and prevented the powdery mildew epidemics in the two years of the study. The powdery mildew epidemics showed to be more severe in the first flowering period and can be reduced by using chemical control and more resistant dwarf cashew clones.
Glutathione peroxidase genes in ancestral sweet potatoes: genome characterization and bioinformatics analysis

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT Plant glutathione peroxidases (GPXs) consist of non-heme thiol peroxidases that are vital in maintaining hydrogen peroxide homeostasis and regulating plant environmental stress responses. A comparative genomic analysis of the GPX gene family in Ipomoea trifida and I. triloba using their respective genomes was performed. Six GPX genes were identified in each species, which were unevenly located in 4 of the 15 chromosomes of the closest ancestors of the sweet potato genomes (I. trifida and I. triloba). The presence of gene duplications and positive selection were highlighted, suggesting the evolutionary significance of the GPX genes in these species. Based on the phylogenetic analysis, the GPX genes of I. trifida, I. triloba, Arabidopsis thaliana and Oryza sativa can be classified into four groups (I, II, III and IV). The in silico expression analysis in different tissues and development stages revealed tissue-specific expression patterns, hinting at specialized roles for the GPX genes in different plant organs. Nonetheless, the ItfGPX5 and ItbGPX5 genes were highly expressed in most the studied tissues.
The Canterbury Tales, by Geofrey Chaucer, from the Perspective of Bakhtinian Carnival: The Wife of Bath and the Subversion of Female Gender through the Profanation of Biblical Discourse
Authors: Barcelos Vanessa Rodrigues , Gonçalves João Batista Costa
Published: August 2024

ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to analyze the character Alison, the wife of Bath, in Geofrey Chaucer’s The Canterbury Tales. To do this, based on Bakhtin (1984a, 1984b), especially from the perspective of carnivalization, together with Butler’s theory of gender performativity (1988, 1999), we intend to show how this character carnivalistically subverts certain biblical texts relating to the role of women in marriage. Thus, for the purposes of this study, we have taken the Wife of Bath’s prologue from Chaucer’s work, because in it she constructs her polemical more explicitly and the comic relationship with the Bible at the same time. From this analysis, we conclude that Bath’s wife, in a carnivalized way, performs the feminine gender in the middle of the medieval period, showing herself to be subversive of the stereotypes of the time by profaning certain biblical guidelines, from both the Old and New Testaments, regarding what it means to be a woman and a wife.
Os contos de Canterbury, de Geofrey Chaucer, a partir do carnaval bakhtiniano: a esposa de Bath e a subversão de gênero feminino pela profanação do discurso bíblico
Authors: Barcelos Vanessa Rodrigues , Gonçalves João Batista Costa
Published: August 2024

RESUMO O objetivo do artigo é proceder a uma análise da personagem Alison, esposa de Bath, na obra Os contos de Canterbury, de Geofrey Chaucer. Para isso, com base em Bakhtin (2010, 2018), em particular a partir da perspectiva da carnavalização, somada à teoria da performatividade de gênero de Butler (1988, 2017), pretendemos mostrar como a referida personagem subverte, carnavalizadamente, certos textos bíblicos referentes ao papel da mulher no matrimônio. Dessa forma, nesse estudo, para efeito de análise, tomamos da obra chaucereana o prólogo da esposa de Bath visto que nele a personagem elabora, de modo mais evidente, sua relação tensa e, ao mesmo tempo cômica, com a Bíblia. Da análise feita, concluímos, assim, que a esposa de Bath, de maneira carnavalizada, performatiza o gênero feminino em pleno período medieval, mostrando-se subversiva aos estereótipos da época ao profanar certas orientações bíblicas, tanto do Velho como do Novo Testamento, relativamente ao que é ser mulher e esposa.
“Anoche tuve un sueño, desde anoche, no dejo de mirar el río”: as relações cosmológicas nos sonhos do povo indígena Kukama (Peru)
Authors: Angulo-Giraldo Miguel Angel
Published: August 2024

Resumo Os estudos sobre os sonhos têm sido abordados desde a psicanálise, a antropologia cultural e a linguística, constituindo uma base documentária relevante para compreender os diversos grupos humanos. No caso da América Latina, nos últimos anos, eventos oníricos se tornaram relevantes como objeto de pesquisa a partir da relação que os povos indígenas têm com sonhos, como os vivenciam e interpretam. Assim, as cosmologias de diversos povos, como os das terras baixas, acreditam que esses sonhos são acontecimentos ou eventos do cotidiano. Para o caso em estudo, realizou-se uma aproximação aos sonhos do povo indígena Kukama (Peru), da família Tupi-Guarani. Metodologicamente, o estudo utiliza a análise de conteúdo etnográfico aplicado a 12 vídeos do Youtube, produzidos pela rádio indígena Ucamara, que pertence aos Kukama. Os resultados principais evidenciam as formas nas quais as cosmologias amazônicas são representadas por meio de diversas relações espaço-temporais-ontológicas nas quais humanos e não humanos mantêm afetações constantes no tempo noturno. As conclusões principais mostram que nos sonhos é plausível ver, sentir e conversar com as ‘gentes’ numa linguagem comum para todos e, dependendo do sonhador, perceber as outras formas corporais que humanos e não humanos possuem, além do tempo presente.
Racismo creditício no Brasil e nos EUA: risco discriminatório no acesso a crédito
Authors: Amparo Thiago , Prado Viviane Muller
Published: August 2024

Resumo O acesso ao crédito tem funções econômicas e sociais relevantes diante das desigualdades brasileiras. Apesar do papel vital, a regulação jurídica no Brasil sobre discriminação no acesso ao crédito é esparsa em diversos diplomas jurídicos nas áreas de direito do consumidor, regulação financeira, direito internacional e legislações antidiscriminatórias. Considerando esse caráter fragmentado, o presente artigo, descritivamente, apresenta um mapeamento das normas que proíbem a discriminação no acesso ao crédito no Brasil e, analiticamente, avalia os riscos de discriminação associados ao uso de dados para concessão de crédito. Para isso, utilizam-se a literatura e a regulação dos Estados Unidos da América (EUA) como base comparativa, por existir nesse país legislação, práticas institucionais e mobilização social a respeito do tema há pelo menos meio século. A pesquisa sugere a possibilidade de discriminações direta e indireta contra pessoas negras nas decisões de concessão de crédito, incluindo o uso de algoritmos. A principal contribuição deste artigo é a apresentação de uma classificação dos dados em três categorias de risco de discriminação racial: risco baixo (dados de utilização a princípio aceitáveis), risco alto (dados a princípio inaceitáveis para avaliação do crédito) e risco incerto (dados que se enquadram em uma zona cinzenta).

Numerical analysis of the influence of reinforcement ratio on the behavior of on-top laterally loaded concrete piles
Authors: Greco Leonardo Bonfante , Reis Jeselay Hemetério Cordeiro dos , Souza Rafael Alves de
Published: August 2024

Abstract In this research, the behavior of laterally loaded piles is studied, wherein flexure-induced tensile stresses are responsible for the cracking process. The primary focus lies on investigating the direct influence of the reinforcement ratio on the pile's behavior. Through a comprehensive numerical 3D finite element analysis (FEM), the effects of varying reinforcement ratios on laterally loaded piles are examined in terms of displacements, stresses, and yielding. Employing the ABAQUS software, distinct constitutive models are used for concrete piles (Concrete Damage Plasticity model), soil (Mohr-Coulomb model), and steel rebars (elasto-plastic model). The results reveal that higher reinforcement ratios lead to reduced cracking propagation and lateral displacement, consequently enhancing the lateral capacity of concrete piles within the limitations of the soil bearing capacity. Moreover, it is observed that the depth at which a plastic hinge forms in longer piles shows minimal sensitivity to changes in the reinforcement ratio. Additionally, the increase in reinforcement ratio is found to result in decreased bending moments on the piles, accompanied by reduced strains and stresses in the surrounding soil. Overall, this investigation provides crucial insights into optimizing pile design by considering the reinforcement ratio, ultimately enhancing the structural performance and integrity of laterally loaded piles.

Knowledge and Practices of Poultry Farmers Contributing to Antimicrobial Resistance in Nsukka
Authors: Chinelo Ezeh Gladys , Ogugua Akwoba Joseph , Olaolu Michael Olatunji , Nwanta John Anaelom
Published: August 2024

Antimicrobial use in animal husbandry has been ascribed to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) gene selection and build-up in treated animals' microbiota. This ends up in the food chain and contributes immensely to drug resistance in the society. Studies on risk factors for antimicrobial resistance in poultry can be useful in providing data and designing appropriate control measures. This study therefore assessed the knowledge and practices affecting AMR in poultry farms in Nsukka, Enugu State, Nigeria. A semi-structured and pre-tested questionnaire was administered to 44 poultry farmers in the study area. Among the farmers, 90.91% were aware that excessive antimicrobial use contributes to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance. More than 70% of the farms lacked basic hygiene and biosecurity facilities/measures. Sixty percent of the farmers buried their dead birds, all (100%) packaged their dung for subsequent land disposal, and 50% dumped expired, unused/used drug packets in the nearest bush. About 65, 100, and 90% of antimicrobial usage were for growth promotion, prophylactic purposes, and therapeutic purposes, respectively. Finally, only 18.18% observed withdrawal periods before disposal of their products. The study found that the farmers used non-therapeutic antimicrobials as a "simple fix" or to compensate for poor management practices. There is need to further educate the farmers on the contributions of their activities to drug resistance in the society.
La corporeidad en el contexto escolar y las pruebas estandarizadas
Authors: Cuesta-Bejarano Sandra Dalila
Published: August 2024

Este artículo presenta una reflexión sobre las construcciones de corporeidad de niños y jóvenes en el contexto escolar y su relación con los procesos pedagógicos que subyacen a las pruebas de evaluación estandarizada y la producción del conocimiento. De acuerdo a la estructura curricular de las instituciones educativas en Colombia, las cuales se rigen por lineamientos del Ministerio de Educación Nacional; se desarrolla el conocimiento de una manera fraccionada desde las diferentes áreas y asignaturas, llevando a cabo procesos evaluativos trazados según las pruebas estandarizadas, que son aplicadas, desconociendo las particularidades y necesidades de las instituciones, su comunidad y contexto; con esto, acentuando la formación académica de algunas áreas del conocimiento denominadas fundamentales, hacia un desempeño que permita un alto nivel de competencia con las demás instituciones, en términos de calidad de educación.
Estos procesos pedagógicos pueden llevar a invisibilizar la corporeidad del estudiante; al desatender la vivencia, la posibilidad de explorar, de encontrarse, de reconocer su cuerpo y reconocerse en el otro, por cuanto, se enfatiza el cúmulo de contenidos hacia la medición de lo cognitivo, desconociendo la multidimensionalidad del ser humano.
A partir de la revisión documental como metodología en la recolección de la información, sobre las categorías de análisis corporeidad y prueba estandarizada; se entabla un diálogo debate en el cual surge la transdisciplinariedad como una tercera categoría, haciendo las veces de puente que conduce a la unidad del conocimiento y a su vez al reconocimiento del ser humano como unidad en su multidimensionalidad y construcción de corporeidad.

Published: August 2024

This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of the Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC) who received curative concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT). Clinicopathological data from 213 (training set) and 106 (validation set) LACC cases undergoing CCRT were retrospectively analyzed. The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to compare the predictive ability of NPS and other indicators for survival. Cox proportional hazard regression was conducted for overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). A prediction model using a nomogram was developed with independent prognostic factors in the training set and validated in the validation set. The 5-year OS for the NPS = 1, 2, and 3 groups was 56.8%, 45.4%, and 28.9% (P < 0.001), and the 5-year PFS for the NPS = 1, 2, and 3 groups was 44.9%, 36.7%, and 28.4% (P = 0.001), respectively. NPS showed better predictive ability for OS and PFS compared to other indicators. Multivariate regression analysis identified NPS as an independent prognostic factor for OS (P < 0.001) and PFS (P < 0.001). A predictive nomogram based on NPS was established and validated. The C-indices of the nomogram in the training set were 0.722 for OS and 0.683 for PFS, while in the validation set the C-indices were 0.731 for OS and 0.693 for PFS. This study confirmed that preoperative NPS could serve as a useful independent prognostic factor in LACC patients treated with CCRT.

The Unpolitics of Brexit
Authors: Taggart Paul
Published: August 2024

This article is an attempt to present, develop, and deploy the use of the concept of “unpolitics” in relation to Brexit. The article starts with an outline of the concept of unpolitics and then turns to its application to Brexit. The argument is that in the politics of Brexit, specifically in the appeal of part of the “leave” campaign and in the behaviour and appeal of Johnson, we can identify unpolitics as playing a significant role. For the “Vote Leave,” we can identify unpolitical tropes as explicit elements of the campaign. Also, during Johnson’s premiership and his campaign in the 2019 general election, the appeal and behaviour exhibited elements of unpolitics. Johnson’s political demise was not due to Brexit, Covid-19, or Putin but represented the playing out of his unpolitics.
Urban Sustainability in Arctic Cities: Challenges and Opportunities of Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals
Authors: Soroudi Ava , Rizzo Agatino , Ma Jing
Published: August 2024

Arctic cities are at the forefront of climate change, experiencing distinctive obstacles in their endeavors to pursue green transitions and attain sustainability objectives. These cities are marked by high energy consumption, primarily driven by activities related to resource extraction and the demanding climate. Moreover, they rely heavily on natural resources for growth, have limited infrastructure, and experience significant external and internal remoteness. This article presents a comprehensive analysis of urban sustainability in Arctic cities, focusing on key themes, trends, and challenges. Through a systematic review of extant literature, this study examines current research on urban sustainability in the Arctic and identifies crucial gaps, delineating a path to sustainability. Using VOSviewer software, six thematic clusters were identified: climate change and environmental adaptation, SDGs and smart urban planning, sustainable development and urban governance, sustainable economic development, social sustainability, and green energy transition. These clusters provide valuable insights into the dominant themes and evolving discourse in Arctic sustainability research. The findings show that the literature focuses predominantly on Russian Arctic cities, signaling an imperative for a more inclusive strategy encompassing a broader spectrum of Arctic cities. Additionally, sustainability is inherently site-specific and necessitates a nuanced understanding that incorporates different stakeholders’ perspectives and considers particular regional traits to create a more effective and meaningful approach to measuring and achieving sustainability in Arctic cities. This article contributes to the ongoing discourse on sustainability in Arctic cities by advocating for a comprehensive framework that accommodates unique challenges and opportunities of Arctic urban environments.

Traditional dentures, though widely used, have several limitations such as unreliable retention, discomfort, and acceleration of jawbone resorption. Recent advancements in dental prosthetics, particularly in the development of overdentures and sophisticated attachment systems, have addressed many of these issues, offering patients improved stability, comfort, and oral health outcomes.

: To explore the advancements in dental prosthetics, specifically focusing on the development and benefits of overdentures and modern attachment systems compared to traditional dentures.

: A comprehensive review of the literature and recent innovations in dental prosthetics was conducted, examining the limitations of traditional dentures and the functional improvements provided by tooth-supported and implant-supported overdentures. The study also analyzed various attachment systems, including bar attachments, ball attachments, and locator attachments, to assess their effectiveness in enhancing denture stability, comfort, and oral health outcomes.

Stability and Retention: Overdentures, whether tooth- or implant-supported, provide superior stability and retention compared to traditional dentures, significantly reducing the risk of slippage.

Overdentures help preserve the jawbone and prevent bone resorption, maintaining facial structure and contributing to long-term oral health.

Advanced attachment systems, such as bar, ball, and locator attachments, offer a secure and comfortable fit, improving chewing efficiency and speech clarity.

Enhanced stability, comfort, and functionality of overdentures lead to a higher quality of life for patients.

The advancements in overdentures and attachment systems represent a significant improvement over traditional dentures. These innovations provide greater stability, improved oral health, and enhanced functionality, offering patients a more reliable, comfortable, and effective solution for dental prosthetics. As dental technology continues to evolve, the options and outcomes for individuals requiring dental prosthetics will continue to improve.

Apico-marginal defects are localized bony defects encompassing the total root length. The presence of apico-marginal defects has accounted for the failure of endodontic treatment in many cases. The best treatment option for such defect is to perform endodontic surgery using Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) membranes. Recently, platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), has been suggested as a better alternative to the conventional practice of using guided tissue regeneration (GTR) barrier membranes for the treatment of these defects. This case report presents clinical management of apico-marginal defect allied with extensive peri-radicular destruction in a maxillary central incisor subjected to periapical surgery using sticky bone and PRF as a barrier membrane. The patient was followed up for 1 year. Clinically, there was a reduction in probing pocket depth, and an increase in attached gingiva, and radiographically a resolution of periapical radiolucency and a significant amount of bone fill was evident.

Los nuevos imperativos de sostenibilidad y resiliencia que enfrentan las cadenas productivas obligan a los países a redefinir sus agendas de política de Ciencia, Tecnología e Innovación (CTI). Esta nota propone una serie de lineamientos para una agenda CTI para México, atendiendo no solo a ese nuevo contexto, sino también a la necesidad de dar respuesta a los factores idiosincráticos que obstaculizan el desarrollo de las empresas mexicanas, en particular las MIPYMES. Con base en ello, se realiza un primer diagnóstico de las fortalezas y debilidades del país en cuanto a CTI, y se abordan los principales argumentos que justifican la necesidad de una política en la materia. Luego, se analizan para el caso mexicano tres grandes ejes sobre los cuales una política CTI debería actuar: la creación del conocimiento, su transferencia, y su adopción. Finalmente, se presenta un caso práctico de aplicación al desarrollo de la industria nacional de semiconductores, siguiendo los principios de la innovación orientada por misiones. A lo largo del estudio, se resalta la complejidad inherente al diseño e implementación de una agenda de política de CTI, ante los desafíos de contar con las adecuadas capacidades técnicas e institucionales para que el conocimiento contribuya al desarrollo productivo del país.

El diálogo interjurisdiccional entre el Supremo Tribunal Federal y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos en el tema de género
Authors: De Araújo Costa Milena , Verícia Canuto de Oliveira Veras Érica , Oliveira Moreira Thiago
Published: August 2024

El presente artículo trata sobre el diálogo interjurisdiccional entre el Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) y la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos en temas de derechos humanos de las mujeres. En esta perspectiva, surge el siguiente problema: ¿el STF realmente dialoga con las decisiones de la Corte IDH sobre la efectividad de los derechos humanos de las mujeres? La hipótesis inicial de la investigación es que el diálogo interjurisdiccional entre estos dos organismos en el tema de género es escaso, superficial y acrítico. Para ello, se examinarán las decisiones del STF que dialogaron (o debieron dialogar) con el entendimiento de la Corte IDH en materia de derechos humanos de las mujeres. Este estudio tiene un enfoque cualitativo y aplicado, y en cuanto a sus objetivos tiene alcance exploratorio. El método utilizado es deductivo. Finalmente, en relación con la hipótesis inicial de la pesquisa, se constató que el diálogo interjurisdiccional entre la Corte IDH y el STF en el tema de género es inexistente, pues en las decisiones encontradas en la pesquisa no fue posible discutir cualquier temática referente a los derechos humanos de las mujeres. Las citaciones hechas por el STF, en lo que se refiere a casos decididos por la Corte IDH, son genéricas.

Authors: Lizarme Villcas Nashely , Palma Patricia , Carrasco Weston José Manuel
Published: August 2024

Se analiza la representación del Perú en la prensa anglófona en China entre 1871 y 1939, periodo en que se evidenció un especial interés en este país por conocer la situación económica, política y social de América Latina y del Perú, y en particular sobre las condiciones de vida y trabajo de los inmigrantes chinos que ahí residían. Mientras gran parte de las investigaciones respecto a la presencia china en el Perú se ha enfocado en cómo los peruanos percibían a los inmigrantes chinos, este trabajo busca contribuir al análisis sobre el imaginario del Perú en China, en particular en los medios de prensa en inglés que se publicaban regularmente en la ciudad de Shanghái.
