“É cada um para o que nasce?”: Desenvolvimento das atribuições causais da pobreza infantil na infância e soluções percebidas para a pobreza
Authors: Pereira da Costa Leonor , Borges Rodrigues Ricardo , Waldzus Sven
Published: January 2021

O presente estudo analisa o desenvolvimento das atribuições causais da pobreza infantil, o papel do estatuto sócio económico nestas atribuições e as soluções que as crianças identificam para a pobreza. Foram entrevistadas crianças com idades entre os 6 e 12 anos (N = 107), e os resultados mostram a prevalência da externalização das causas da pobreza, nomeadamente através de explicações fatalistas (e.g. sorte) e estruturalistas (e.g. desemprego). Este estudo permite, ainda, verificar que as crianças percecionam dois tipos de soluções para a pobreza, que variam no grau de agência imputado à criança pobre. Análises de mediação mostram que a indicação de soluções que requerem a ação da criança pobre aumenta com a idade através do aumento da perceção de que a pobreza é causada por fatores sociais. Os resultados são discutidos em termos do desenvolvimento sociocognitivo, refletindo sobre as consequências das atribuições causais da pobreza na perpetuação das desigualdades sociais.

Authors: Marques Teresa , Pereira Ana Isabel , Barros Luísa , Roberto Magda S.
Published: January 2021

This study aimed to examine the factor structure of the Portuguese version of a parental self-regulation measure: "Me as a Parent" (MaaP). A confirmatory factor analysis was conducted with an online convenience sample of 370 mothers of children aged between 3 and 15 (M = 9, SD = 3.74). Results showed that in this sample, the original structure of the MaaP was not confirmed. The revised model with three first-order factors showed good fit indices, χ2 = 202.37, p < .001, χ2/df = 101, CFI = .92, TLI = .91; SRMR = .05, RMSEA = .05, 90% CI = [0.046, 0.063]. The factors of MaaP showed good internal consistency, except for Personal Agency. The instrument achieved discriminant validity and showed good test-retest reliability. Although the MaaP seems to be a promising measure, the present results show that more research is needed to validate this new scale.
Zakażenia hantawirusami ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem populacji europejskiej i ich obraz kliniczny na tle innych gorączek krwotocznych
Authors: Stopnicka Kamila Julia , De Walthoffen Szymon Walter , Dzieciątkowski Tomasz
Published: January 2021

Hantawiusy należą do rodziny Bunyaviridae. Powodują one dwie niebezpieczne dla człowieka choroby: w Azji i Europie gorączkę krwotoczną z zespołem nerkowym (HRFS), a w obu Amerykach tak zwany hantawirusowy zespół płucny (HCPS). Większość hantawirusów przenoszona jest przez gryzonie, niemniej jednak jako rezerwuar hantawirusów opisywane są również inne małe ssaki. Infekcje hantawirusowe są trudne do rozpoznania z powodu objawów klinicznych podobnych jak przy infekcjach wywołanych przez inne wirusy gorączek krwotocznych.
Motorcycle Conspicuity Issues and Intervention: A Systematic Review
Authors: ABDUL KHALID Muhamad Syukri , KHAMIS Nor Kamaliana , ABU MANSOR Mohd Radzi , HAMZAH Azhar
Published: January 2021

Background: Conspicuity has been one of the key factors in motorcycle road crashes around the world. The inability and difficulty of other road users in detecting motorcycles either at day or at night have contributed to conspicuity related motorcycle crashes. This literature review attempts to understand the motorcycle conspicuity issues in road traffic. The review also analyses relevant types of conspicuity intervention in terms of its effectiveness in enhancing motorcycle conspicuity that had been discussed in past studies.
Methods: Using specific keywords and search terms, relevant articles were screened, identified and analyzed systematically using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
Results: Twenty-seven final articles were reviewed and found that almost every part of motorcycle and motorcyclist’s conspicuity intervention have been covered in past studies. In terms of conspicuity aids, the majority of past studies discussed conspicuity enhancement in the frontal area, particularly on motorcycle daytime running headlight (DRH) color and configurations. Few other studies have discussed in other areas, particularly on rear running and brake light and motorcycle color. There were also numerous studies looking at motorcyclists’ appearances in terms of their attire and helmet color.
Conclusion: Motorcycle and motorcyclist’s appearances are highly associated with the risk of motorcycle crashes. The most important part of enhancing motorcycle conspicuity is to ensure motorcycle appearance is always in contrast with the road traffic environment.

Authors: XIE Yaofei , XU Wenlong , YANG Lihua , WU Wenwen , TAN Xiaodong
Published: January 2021

Background: A smart vision screening instrument was applied for screening low eyesight in primary school students in Wuhan, China. We aimed to compare the differences in test results between this instrument and lamp-box visual acuity charts, assess the validity of the screening results, and perform a preliminary comparison of the cost inputs of the two approaches.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study conducted in Wuhan, China in 2017, vision tests were performed on the same day among enrolled primary school students by using the two approaches. The t-test and kappa test were performed to compare the differences, and the indicators of validity were calculated and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were drawn. Existing cost-input data were collected and the budget was analyzed.
Results: In total, 1001 schoolchildren were included, and the prevalence of low eyesight was 21.18% (95% CI: 18.71-23.87%). The test results of the two approaches were not statistically different (t=1.929, P>0.05) and showed moderate consistency (kappa=0.519, P<0.001). Sensitivity and specificity of the instrument were 84.90% (95% CI: 79.21-89.30%) and 91.63% (95% CI: 89.42-91.64%), respectively; positive predictive value was 73.17% (95% CI: 67.10-78.51%); and negative predictive value was 95.76% (95% CI: 94.00-97.04%). Area under the ROC curve was 0.883 (95% CI: 0.853-0.913) and significantly differed from 0.5 (P<0.001). The budget when using the instrument decreased 48.07% compared to that when using lamp-box visual acuity charts.
Conclusion: The test result of the instrument is reliable, and using it to conduct screening is cost-saving. Therefore, it might be popularized for vision monitoring in schoolchildren.

Published: January 2021

Background: In Romania, the abuse within the family of the minor child is a widespread phenomenon, its extent is insufficiently known because of ignorance/not reporting all the existing cases.
Methods: The participants of the research are represented by two independent groups from the NW Romania 2007-2011, one for sociological study (1544 parents and 1283 children) and another for forensic statistical study (2761 cases of abused children). The sociological study was carried out by analyzing questionnaires applied in schools located in Bihor County, both to children and parents. The statistical analysis was carried out by studying the cases of the physically, sexually, and psychologically abused minors, recorded at Bihor County Forensic Service.
Results: Physical neglect and physical abuse are the most common forms of child abuse. The forensic analysis highlight that most of the victims are male from urban areas. Physical abuse is more common in the 16-18 age group, psychological abuse in children aged between 6-10 yr, and sexual abuse in children under the age of 14 years. Girls were subject to sexual abuse, neglect, and emotional abuse, more frequently in rural areas; boys were most often victims of exploitation, physical, and emotional abuse in both urban and rural areas.
Conclusion: The results of the study led to the formulation of general guidelines on this phenomenon and highlight the need for proposals to improve the current situation of child abuse within the family.
Impact of the Iranian Health Sector Evolution Plan on Rehospitalization: An Analysis of 158000 Hospitalizations
Authors: JANATI Ali , EBRAHIMOGHLI Reza , SADEGHI-BAZARGANI Homayoun , GHOLIZADEH Masoumeh , TOOFAN Firooz , GHARAEE Hojatolah
Published: January 2021

Background: In May 2014, Iran launched the most far-reaching reform for the health sector, so-called Health Sector Evolution Plan (HSEP), since introduction of the primary health care network, with a systematic plan to bring about Universal Health Coverage. We aimed to analyze the time to first all-caused rehospitalization and all-caused 30-day readmission rate in the biggest referral hospital of Northwest of Iran before and after the reform.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed discharge data for all hospitalization occurred in the six-year period of 2011-2017. The primary endpoints were readmission-free survival, and overall 30-day readmission rate. Using multivariate cox proportional hazards regression and logistic regression, we assessed between-period differences for readmission-free survival time and overall 30-day rehospitalization, respectively.
Results: Overall, 157969 admissions were included. After adjusting for available confounders including age; sex; ward of admission; length of stay; and admission in first/second half of year, the risk of being readmitted within 30 days after the reform was significantly higher (worse) compared to pre-reform hospitalization (odd ratio 1.22, P<0.001, 95% CI, 1.15-1.30 ). Adjusting for the same covariates, after-reform period also was slightly significantly associated with decreased (deteriorated) readmission-free time compared with pre-HSEP period (HR 1.06, P=0.005, 95% CI 1.01-1.11).
Conclusion: HSEP seems insufficient to improve neither readmission rate, nor readmission-free time. It is advisable some complementary strategies to be incorporated in the HSEP, such as continuity of care promotion, self-care enhancement, effective information flow, and post-discharge follow up programs.

Fascioliasis is a zoonotic disease caused by Fasciola spp. We report five serologically and molecularly confirmed cases in an emerging region in Iran. A retrospective, case series study, performed in Lorestan Province, west of Iran between January 2015 and June 2016. From 1256 patients examined, 16 patients had positive serum ELISA. Five cases were approved as infected with fasciolosis using stool exam and PCR. Age ranged from 24 to 80 yr with mean age of 45 years. All of patients were adults and four of them had abdominal and back pain. Other symptoms included fever and chills, coughing and sore throat, weight loss, cutaneous manifestations. All patients lived in the rural environment, and four reported the ingestion of raw aquatic plants such as watercress. In fecal examination for fluke eggs, four samples were positive for F. hepatica eggs. Conventional PCR analysis showed that five human stools were positive for F. hepatica. All of 5 patients were treated with the usual dose of triclabendazole. A history of recent consumption of raw aquatic plants (in 4 out of 5 patients) is an important finding, but in one patient the source of infection remained unclear. Lorestan should be considered as an emerging region for this disease and further research in this province should be carried out.

Authors: Ibrahim Montaha Mohammed , Fadlalmola Hammad Ali
Published: January 2021

Background: When a patient with an acute medical illness is admitted to a hospital, their safety is a prime concern for healthcare professionals. Ongoing nursing assessment is a type of nursing assessment that commences at the beginning of every shift and is completed on every patient. This information is used to develop a plan of care. The aim of this study was to assess the application of ongoing nursing assessment approaches in intensive care units. 
Methods: This cross-sectional hospital-based study included a total of 135 nurses, of which 23 (17%) were from Khartoum hospital, 62 (46%) from Alshaab hospital, 15 (11%) from Soba University Hospital, and 35 (26%) from the National Center for Neurological Science.
Results: The ongoing nursing assessment approaches were available in most intensive care units of the study area with the domination of the ABCDE approach. Factors that can impact the thoroughness of the ongoing nursing assessment performance suggested by the studied participants were nurses' knowledge and competency, followed by insufficient time and resources to carry out the assessment.
Conclusion: Most participants did not complete the assessment suggesting a poor performance. The knowledge base of the participants was not reflected in their practice with a wide difference between them.

There is no significant difference in short term movement or sensitivity of profitability and firms' size determinants of Indian pharmaceutical companies.

Applications of this study: The finding of the study implies that the funds invested in total resources enhance the profits while equal utilization of resources by selected pharmaceutical companies. So, this study recommends enhancing the investment in total resources to get increased amounts of profits.

Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is one of the few studies that measure the trend of Similarity and sensitivity of financial performance and size determinants of Indian pharmaceutical companies. In this process, it performs the trend, movement sensitivity, and financial performance similarity analysis using the index numbers of financial variables of Indian pharmaceutical companies.
Polizeiarbeit zwischen Kontrolle und Fürsorge
Authors: Staubli Silvia
Published: January 2021

Polizeiarbeit steht im Spannungsfeld zwischen dem Ausüben von sozialer Kontrolle und dem sich Kümmern um vulnerable Personen. Hierbei arbeitet die Polizei Hand in Hand mit weiteren Akteuren aus dem privaten und öffentlichen Bereich. Daneben steht die Polizei im Fokus der Öffentlichkeit und ihre Arbeit, z.B. in Form von Personenkontrollen, wird von der Gesellschaft vermehrt kritisch beäugt. Rund um solche Themen wurde am 22. März 2017 eine Tagung an der Universität Fribourg organisiert. Die Referentinnen und Referenten stammten aus der Wissenschaft, der Polizei und der aufsuchenden Sozialarbeit. Der vorliegende Forumsbeitrag fasst die Vorträge zusammen und erläutert die Zusammenhänge.
In aller Büchner’schen Rauigkeit: Achtung ist ein Menschenrecht
Authors: Bauer Gerhard
Published: January 2021

Das womöglich heftigste Gefühl, das Büchner in seinem kurzen Leben zugesetzt hat, war der Zorn über die verächtliche Behandlung anderer Menschen. In seiner Studienzeit in Gießen wurde er darauf aufmerksam und wurde ziemlich bitter. In hohen Konstellationen wie der Literaturgeschichte, Anstößen seiner eindringlichen Dichtung, fand er sie wieder. Die faden Hänseleien, die das Alltagsleben einer beliebigen Garnisonstadt erträglich machen sollen, sah er durch diese schmähliche Missachtung des Nebenmenschen vergiftet. Seine strafende Diagnose: Der Groll darüber setzt sich fest. Er kann zum Mord führen.

„Auch hier brannte der Strauch“ – Strategien der Anspielung und Bilderverbot in Rose Ausländers Malergedichten
Authors: Sommerfeld Beate
Published: January 2021

Die sogenannten Malergedichte Rose Ausländers speisen sich aus der Tradition des alttestamentlichen Bilderverbots. Nicht nur Gott, auch die Erfahrung der Shoah und des Exils werden mit einem Repräsentationsverbot belegt und durch ein feines Gespinst von Anspielungen umschifft, die auf diffizile Weise kodiert sind. Letztendlich wird die alttestamentliche Verbotstradition in eine eigene Poetologie umgedeutet: Ausländers Gedichte lösen das Bilderverbot ein, indem sie sich das Abbilden versagen. An den Bildern der Moderne des zwanzigsten Jahrhunderts übt die Dichterin ein „sehendes Sehen“ (Imdahl) ein, in dem die Gedichte sich von Abbildung und Identifizierbarkeit abwenden und neue Dimensionen der Wirklichkeit erschließen. In einer anspielungsreichen Poetik der Hintergründigkeit und Mehrdeutigkeit soll Erfahrung ins Gedicht einschreibbar gemacht werden.

Authors: Priya M.V. , Singh Thakar , Saini K.S. , Singh Sompal
Published: January 2021

Background: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the third most important pulse crop produced after dry bean and peas in the world. Amongst pulses, chickpea is the major crop in India but for international market the quality of this crop has to be improved which may be possible by evaluation of different planting techniques. No systematic research and adequate technologies have been reported in Punjab on intercropping of different crops in chickpea. The current study aimed to find out the effect of different intercrops on growth and yield of bed planted chickpea based intercropping systems. Methods: A field experiment was carried out during the rabi season of 2017 and 2018 to evaluate the productivity and economic viability of bed planted chickpea based intercropping systems.The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design consisting of four replications with thirteen treatments. Result: Results showed that sole chickpea recorded highest seed yield and it was statistically at par with seed yield that obtained under chickpea + oats fodder (2:1), chickpea + oats fodder (4:1) and chickpea + linseed (4:1) intercropping systems. However, oilseed rape and barley as intercrops showed adverse effect on yield and yield attributes of chickpea. Chickpea + oats fodder in 2:1 row ratio recorded highest chickpea equivalent yield of 24.07 and 24.77 q/ha and system productivity of 15.96 and 15.60 kg/ha/day during 2017 and 2018, respectively. Higher net returns (Rs. 63098 and 70924/ha), benefit cost ratio (1.47 and 1.63) and production efficiency (417.9 and 446.1 Rs/ha/day) were also recorded in chickpea + oats fodder (2:1) intercropping system over sole chickpea (Rs. 44862 and 53769/ha and 1.21 and 1.41) during both the years. Chickpea + oats fodder (4:1), chickpea + linseed (2:1) and chickpea + linseed (4:1) also recorded significantly higher chickpea equivalent yield, net returns and benefit cost ratio as compared to sole chickpea.

Published: January 2021

As the virus that causes COVID-19 continues to spread from person to persons in communities and rampaging the world, the need for an effective real-time surveillance system becomes paramount. Advance contact tracing and detection of the persons with the virus represents one of the main strategies to prevent transmission. Although COVID-19 surveillance systems such as contact tracing mobile apps have improved the administration and management of virus, there are still challenges such as privacy, cost and ethical issues, the adoption of new technologies, standardized cases, and validly diagnosed case and validity. However, the current mobile apps contact tracing system adopted by different nations has complemented conventional tracing effort in fighting the virus. This proposal is a model for an interactive computer system using mobile phones and the internet for real-time collection and transmission of events related to COVID19. It will aid the administration and presumptive management of COVID-19 in the world, especially in rural areas. This proposal shows that a sophisticated COVID-19 surveillance system can be build using mobile phones with the right telecommunication technology partner.

Authors: Bakhtiarian Sarina , Nikandish Mehrasa , Alyari Melika , Gakharia Tatia
Published: January 2021

Coronaviruses are positive singlestranded RNA viruses which are spread and transmitted to both humans and animals all around the world. The virus that causes COVID-19 disease is in a family of viruses that is called Coronaviridae. Most people infected by this virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory problems. Older people and those with underlying medical problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness and this virus is more dangerous to these patients. Until now there is no exact treatment for this disease. During the pandemic, one of the challenging parts for better clinical outcomes is the management of patients with comorbid cardiovascular diseases. Patients with previous or underlying cardiovascular diseases are at higher risk for developing severe symptoms if infected with SARSCoV-2. Several mechanisms can lead to cardiovascular complications in patients with COVID-19 such as the direct viral injury to complications, which is secondary to the inflammatory and thrombotic responses to the infection. SARS-CoV-2 infection downregulates angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) expression, which might have an important execution in COVID-19. It is a therapeutic abeyant which is becoming very attractive for the cure and prevention of COVID-19. Further research is needed to continue or discontinue ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, which are chief in hypertension and heart failure in COVID-19. Diabetes is another widely spread comorbid disease, and this is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality all over the world during COVID-19. Infection of SARS-COV-2 in the patients who have diabetes activate higher stress conditions, and this leads to the greater release of hyperglycemic hormones, e.g., glucocorticoids and catecholamines. This paper emphasizes on COVID-19 and comorbid cardiovascular diseases with a literature review of various relevant articles, recent studies, and selected references about concepts of underlying mechanisms of pathogenesis and treatment for comorbid conditions during COVID-19.

Le Gabon, pays dâ€™Afrique Centrale est recouvert Ã  plus de 80% de la forÃªt pourvue des zones diversifiÃ©es en paysages avec une importante biodiversitÃ© faunique et floristique. Cependant, cette biodiversitÃ© qui est mal connue dans certaines rÃ©gions du pays est confrontÃ©e Ã  plusieurs menaces. Câ€™est dans cette optique que nous avons conduit un suivi de la faune dans la partie Nord Est du parc national de Moukalaba Doudou dont le but Ã©tait de dÃ©terminer la diversitÃ© et la rÃ©partition spatiale des grands mammifÃ¨res sauvages. En utilisant la mÃ©thode de line transect, nous avons installÃ© 165 cameras traps le long de 11 transects. Les donnÃ©es ont Ã©tÃ© performÃ©es par le GML (Generalized Linear Models). Au total, 80410 nuits-piÃ¨ges ont Ã©tÃ© rÃ©alisÃ©es.

Les rÃ©sultats obtenus suggÃ¨rent que les espÃ¨ces de grands mammifÃ¨res sont distribuÃ©es en fonction des habitats. Les cÃ©phalophes de grande taille, le mandrill, la panthÃ¨re, le chat dorÃ©, lâ€™Ã©lÃ©phant, et le chevrotain aquatique ont des habitats prÃ©fÃ©rentiels ; par contre, le gorille, le chimpanzÃ©, le cercocÃ¨be Ã  collier blanc et le cÃ©phalophe bleu ne semblent pas Ãªtre affectÃ©s par lâ€™habitat. Ce sont des espÃ¨ces ubiquistes. Cependant, tous les mammifÃ¨res peuvent Ãªtre observÃ©s sur lâ€™ensemble des transects.
Gabon, a country in Central Africa, is covered by more than 80% of the forest, with areas diversified into landscapes with significant fauna and flora biodiversity. However, this biodiversity, which is poorly understood in certain regions of the country, faces several threats. It is with this in mind that we conducted wildlife monitoring in the northeast part of Moukalaba Doudou National Park, the aim of which was to determine the abundance and spatial distribution of large wild mammals. Using the line transect method we installed 165 cameras traps along 11 transects. The data were performed by the GML (Generalized Linear Models). A total of 80,410 trap nights were completed. Almost 37,914 independent videos were obtained and 10 species of large mammals of which the most observed were the blue and red duikers followed by aquatic Chevrotains, Elephants and Mangabeys. The results obtained suggest that large mammal species are distributed according to habitats. Large duikers, mandrill, panther, golden cat, elephant, and aquatic chevrotain have preferred habitats; however, the gorilla, the chimpanzee, the white-collared cercocebe and the blue duiker do not seem to be affected by the habitat. They are ubiquitous species. However, all mammals can be seen on all of the transects.

Contamination from landfills as a result of leaching from organic and inorganic waste poses a threat to the environment because, subsoil and groundwater are affected. The contamination is more serious in developing countries where waste management is inefficient. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of pollution at this site. Three profiles were surveyed: two in North-South direction and the third in Northeast-Southwest. 2D electrical resistivity and Time Domain Induced Polarization (TDIP) data sets have been acquired along the three profiles in Boadi Community. Electrical resistivity and induced polarization together with excavations were successful in mapping the extent of the leachate plume. The study demarcated clearly three main zones: the first, second and third zones indicated chargeabilities > 12.8 msec near the surface, > 6.4 msec and > 12.8 msec at the base respectively. Similarly, resistivities < 12 Î©m, 12 to 24 Î©m and >192 Î©m for the first, second and third zones respectively were delineated. The relatively lower electrical resistivity areas were thought to be due to the presence of the leachate plume and the comparatively higher chargeability zones were interpreted as duricrust. The relatively lower chargeability represents absence of polarizable materials. The study also delineated the weathered basement granodiorites showing relatively higher resistivities. These TDIP and ERT results show that the methods have been successful in mapping the landfill leachate plume. The results from the resistivity and chargeability compare very well with the excavations.

Published: January 2021

As the largest Muslim country in the world, Indonesia is a potential market in the development of the Islamic finance industry. Investment in the capital market, which is part of the Islamic financial industry, has an important role in increasing the market share of the financial industry in Indonesia. Although the development is relatively new compared to sharia banking and sharia insurance, along with the significant growth of the Indonesian capital market industry, it is expected that sharia investment in the Indonesian capital market will experience significant growth.

This study aims to explain the trading mechanism on the Indonesian stock exchange that involves Islamic stocks and to find out a review of sharia law and business in the implementation of these trades / transactions. This study uses a normative juridical approach. This research was conducted in Palembang by taking the object on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. Data obtained from in-depth interviews, literature study, and observation. Qualitative analysis can be interpreted as an explanation and interpretation in a logical, systematic and consistent manner. In connection with this, the techniques used and the nature of the data obtained from the results of their collection, can be analyzed using taxonomic analysis.

This study concludes that 1) the capital market in Indonesia is categorized into two, namely a) conventional capital markets and b) Islamic capital markets; 2) The regulation regarding the Sharia capital market is so complete by the capital market in Indonesia. Starting from the Capital Market Law, the DSN MUI and BAPEPAM fatwas; and 3) The operational mechanism of the Sharia Stock Exchange has been clearly implemented and regulated in these regulations. So that capital market players already understand things that are appropriate and not in accordance with Sharia.

Dental caries is a significant public health problem afflicting about a third of the world’s population which impacts nutrition, quality of life and systemic health. Aim: We explored associations between dental caries, odontogenic infections, oral hygiene and anthropometric measurements of children in Lagos, Nigeria. Methods: A pretested validated questionnaire was administered on 278 children who also received anthropometric assessment and dental examinations. Caries was scored according to WHO criteria and untreated dental caries by the Pulpal Exposure, Ulceration, Fistula, Abcess (PUFA/pufa) index. The weight for age (WAZ), height for age (HAZ), and weight for height (WHZ) parameters evaluated nutritional status. Categorical and continuous data were analysed by χ2-test and ANOVA. Regression analysis was done and statistical significance set at p ≤ 0.05. Results: The prevalence of Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT + dmft) > 0 was 220 (79.1%) and the proportion of d+D teeth in dmft+DMFT index was 194 (70.0%). The prevalence of odontogenic infections due to caries (PUFA + pufa > 0) was 172 (61.8%). 74 (26.6%) children were stunted; 12 (4.3%) were underweight while 30 (10.8%) were wasted. Children with PUFA + pufa > 1 had increased risk of wasting (OR: 2.45; 95% CI: 1.16-4.88). Children with DMFT+dmft >5 were also significantly underweight with odds ratios of 2.34 (95% CI 1.04-4.33). Conclusions: There was significant association between untreated dental caries, odontogenic infections and stunting, wasting and being underweight among the children studied. Policy makers should be aware of the additional burden that oral neglect has on anthropometric indices.
Identidade transitória
Authors: Delmanto Ivan
Published: January 2021

Este artigo procura identificar uma espécie de teoria teatral negativa em textos de Jorge Luis Borges sobre William Shakespeare. Procuraremos demonstrar que, nas reflexões teatrais do escritor argentino, assombradas pela imagem do suicídio, é possível ler uma crítica a diversas noções de identidade, capazes de esboçar traços de uma estética teatral alternativa ao drama burguês.

As relações de Antonio Candido com o modernismo brasileiro são conhecidas, embora o seu significado, no âmbito da teoria literária, ainda esteja em aberto. A proposta deste ensaio é acompanhar não somente a vinculação dele com o movimento modernista, sobretudo o de São Paulo, mas também o modo como ele desdobrou com originalidade própria o núcleo estético desse movimento em um núcleo crítico e teórico, mediado pela figura intelectual de Mário de Andrade. Com esse fim, a ideia de formação será pensada aqui como o resultado de uma depuração de seu comprometimento e estudo do modernismo, e que pode, a partir de um retorno à matriz inicial de sua elaboração, transformar-se em uma perspectiva nova de leitura tanto da obra de Antonio Candido quanto da noção de modernismo.
estudos literários brasileiros nos anos 1970 e o lugar da teoria no trabalho de Luiz Costa Lima
Authors: Mello Jefferson
Published: January 2021

Neste artigo, busco analisar e discutir a presença das teorias estruturalistas no trabalho de Luiz Costa Lima, na década de 1970, apontando, também, como elas se conectam às questões institucionais e políticas do período. Tento demonstrar que, a partir do seu livro de 1973, Estruturalismo e teoria da literatura, e de uma série de artigos publicados em suplementos literários, o autor articula as discussões propriamente teóricas àquelas vinculadas tanto ao subcampo da crítica literária quanto a uma interpretação do contexto político brasileiro.
crítica radical de Pasolini
Authors: Amoroso Maria Betânia
Published: January 2021

Partindo de observações de Leonardo Sciascia e de Piergiorgio Bellocchio sobre Pasolini e sua obra, o ensaio propõe seguir pistas interpretativas que apontem para alternativas críticas capazes de ir além de tópicos como o da experimentação na escrita ou o da adequação da obra à história literária convencional. Para isso levou-se em consideração o estudo de Adriana Cavarero (2011) sobre a voz nas suas relações com a filosofia e a política, no que iluminam o significado da crítica radical em Pasolini.
Pasolini e a forma da cidade
Authors: Farinaccio Pascoal
Published: January 2021

Este artigo busca, primeiramente, analisar o curta-metragem de Pier Paolo Pasolini e Paolo Brunatto, Pasolini e... la forma della città (1974), discutindo os elementos fundamentais da crítica de arquitetura de Pasolini. Em sua fala no documentário, sobressaem: sua argumentação sobre a perfeição estilística da antiga cidade italiana de Orte, e sobre como a “forma da cidade” é aviltada pela especulação imobiliária que constrói edifícios de outra ordem estética em seu entorno; a relação entre arquitetura, natureza e luz; a importância de defender as obras de edificadores anônimos do passado e os centros históricos das cidades antigas; a crítica à sociedade de consumo e a seu poder de destruição das obras do passado. Em um segundo momento, aproximamos as reflexões de Pasolini às do filósofo e arquiteto italiano Roberto Perigalli, elaboradas em seu livro I luoghi e la polvere (2010), no qual verificamos muitas afinidades ideológicas e estéticas com o pensamento do cineasta. Em especial há uma convergência, aqui discutida, na valorização que os autores fazem do passado arquitetônico, cuja força revolucionária pode servir para uma crítica do cenário presente, a apreensão de uma beleza imperfeita e frágil que se nutre dos efeitos do envelhecimento causado pela passagem do tempo e o apreço pelas ruínas como possibilidade de vivência de uma temporalidade diversa, uma experiência de comoção perante a transitoriedade das coisas.
On a Method of Introducing Local Coordinates in the Problem of the Orbital Stability of Planar Periodic Motions of a Rigid Body
Authors:   Moscow Aviation Institute (National Research University), Bardin B.S.
Published: January 2021

A method is presented of constructing a nonlinear canonical change of variables which makes it possible to introduce local coordinates in a neighborhood of periodic motions of an autonomous Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom. The problem of the orbital stability of pendulum-like oscillations of a heavy rigid body with a fixed point in the Bobylev – Steklov case is discussed as an application. The nonlinear analysis of orbital stability is carried out including terms through degree six in the expansion of the Hamiltonian function in a neighborhood of the unperturbed periodic motion. This makes it possible to draw rigorous conclusions on orbital stability for the parameter values corresponding to degeneracy of terms of degree four in the normal form of the Hamiltonian function of equations of perturbed motion.

This paper is devoted to the topological classification of structurally stable diffeomorphisms of the two-dimensional torus whose nonwandering set consists of an orientable one-dimensional attractor and finitely many isolated source and saddle periodic points, under the assumption that the closure of the union of the stable manifolds of isolated periodic points consists of simple pairwise nonintersecting arcs. The classification of one-dimensional basis sets on surfaces has been exhaustively obtained in papers by V. Grines. He also obtained a classification of some classes of structurally stable diffeomorphisms of surfaces using combined algebra-geometric invariants. In this paper, we distinguish a class of diffeomorphisms that admit purely algebraic differentiating invariants.
Muscle Spasms – A Common Symptom Following Theraphosid Spider Bites?
Authors: Hauke Tobias , Herzig Volker
Published: January 2021

Despite the popularity of theraphosids, detailed reports on bite symptoms are still limited to few geographic regions and subfamilies. We therefore examined 363 published bite reports and noticed muscles cramps caused by theraphosids from nearly all continents and subfamilies. Symptoms are mostly locally restricted and mild, but 12.7% of victims experience pronounced cramps with highest incidence rates by Poecilotheriinae, Harpactirinae and Stromatopelminae subfamilies. We discuss how variations in venom quantity correlate with muscle cramp prevalence.
