The professional adaptation experiences of novice kindergarten teachers with bachelor's degrees in China
Authors:   Research Institute for Early Childhood Education - Korea National University of Education, Jiang Qing-Yu , Choi Youn-Chul
Published: January 2025

The number of novice kindergarten teachers with bachelor’s degrees in China has grown significantly over the past decade. From 2011 to 2021, graduates majoring in early childhood education increased by over 230,000, reflecting a rapid expansion in degree holders. However, since 2022, enrollment in early childhood education programs has declined, partly due to the growing number of novice teachers struggling with job adaptation. This highlights the need for support in career preparation and adaptation.This study examines the challenges faced by these teachers during their initial career stages and how they overcome them. Through in-depth interviews, four key issues were identified: unclear career planning, excessive job expectations, the gap between theory and practice, and a lack of belonging. Teachers addressed these challenges through psychological adjustment, imitating experienced colleagues, and support from family and friends, achieving successful adaptation.The findings emphasize the need for systematic support to help novice teachers address these difficulties. Policy and institutional efforts are essential to narrow the gap between professional expectations and reality, ensuring better adaptation for early childhood education graduates.
Action research for improving outdoor play in 5 year old Haesol class
Authors:   Research Institute for Early Childhood Education - Korea National University of Education, Kang Ju Hwa , Kim Eonkyung
Published: January 2025

This study aimed to improve the outdoor play of a 5-year-old class. Twenty 5-year-old children and one teacher from one class at a public kindergarten in J City participated in this study. The researcher reflected on the current status of outdoor play and conducted three rounds of implementation based on the perceived problems. Using an action research approach, observations of children's outdoor play, play recordings, interviews with children and the researcher's journal were used to analyse the effectiveness of the action plan and their changes. The results showed that in the first implementation the researcher supported child-led experiences of space use, extended children's experiences of peer relationships and evaluated the role of carers as play observers and participants: In the second implementation, sharing outdoor play experiences with peers and reducing the teacher's voice were implemented and evaluated: In the third implementation, increasing outdoor play time and approaching children with heart were implemented and evaluated. Second, the implementation improved children's initiative, expression and social relationships. Teacher's confidence and understanding of the implementation of outdoor play increased, and their understanding of the value of outdoor play, the implementation of child-centred curriculum and their relationship with children improved positively. Therefore, teachers should play an active role in outdoor play, such as organising the environment and participating in the play, and it is necessary to explore various support measures to improve young children's outdoor play through the curriculum created with young children.
Chinese early childhood teachers' perceptions and conflicts regarding children's play
Authors:   Research Institute for Early Childhood Education - Korea National University of Education, Zhang Yi-Fan , Choi Youn-Chul
Published: January 2025

In this study, we aimed to explore Chinese early childhood educators' perceptions of children's play in early childhood education settings and to identify the conflicts and dilemmas teachers encounter in planning and facilitating play activities. To achieve this, we conducted interviews with four early childhood teachers employed in kindergartens across various regions in China. The findings revealed that teachers perceive play as an activity children should freely choose, with an emphasis on exploration and outcomes during play. Furthermore, teachers regard social interaction as essential within children's play and view play as a unique form of learning. Analysis of the challenges faced by teachers in planning and implementing play activities revealed that they often experience conflicts related to safety concerns. Additionally, teachers reported experiencing tension when their personal beliefs about play differed from those of parents. Finally, teachers found it difficult to define their role in facilitating play due to inadequate physical and mental support for play activities.
The difficulties and values of 'group tasks' experienced by pre-service teacher in teacher training course for early childhood education
Authors:   Research Institute for Early Childhood Education - Korea National University of Education, Kang Jeong-Won , Kim Seung-Bin , Park Min-Hee , Lee Anna , Lee Tae-Yeon , Hong Si-Eun
Published: January 2025

This study aims to explore the challenges and values experienced by pre-service teachers concerning activity 'group tasks' in early childhood teacher training courses and to seek implications for implementing group tasks. The participants were 15 pre-service teachers and 5 in-service teachers enrolled in the early childhood teacher training course at a four-year university in Seoul, and data were collected through focus group interviews. The data were categorized through transcription, keyword extraction, and classification. The findings indicate, first, that pre-service early childhood teachers reported difficulties in collaboration due to challenges in team formation, such as dealing with unfamiliarity and unpredictability, scheduling issues like arranging meetings and missing deadlines, communication problems among team members, and conflicts arising from differences in attitudes and competencies. Second, the values assigned to group tasks by pre-service teachers included enhanced learning outcomes through the use of collective intelligence, improvement in communication, collaboration, conflict resolution, and organizational skills, as well as strengthened practical abilities in curriculum planning, classroom interaction, daily life guidance, and parent counseling as early childhood educators. These results serve as foundational data to support professors in providing specific and systematic assistance to alleviate the challenges pre-service teachers experience with group tasks and to enhance their educational value.

Authors: Rodriguez-Fanjul Javier , Sorribes Ortí Clara , Santos Monton Ana , Gonzalo de Liria Carlos Rodrigo , Mendez Hernandez Maria , Ricart Marti Pilar , Corsini Iuri , Jordan Garcia Iolanda , Balaguer Gargallo Monica
Published: January 2025

PURPOSE

There is limited evidence to guide the treatment of enteral nutrition (EN) for children with bronchiolitis who receive biphasic positive airway pressure (BiPAP) support.

METHODS

This quality improvement project included patients with bronchiolitis who were supported by BiPAP ventilation. An algorithm to increase EN treatment in those patients was created by stakeholders. Two periods of time were compared: group 1 (January 2023 to August 2023) without nutrition implementation protocol vs group 2 (September 2023 to February 2024) after the protocol was implemented. EN was provided via nasogastric tubes. The project aim was to decrease the mean time to initiation of EN by 50% after the start of BiPAP. Secondary end points were time to reach target calories (100 kcal/kg/d), BiPAP total duration, and the proportion of patients with adverse effects.

RESULTS

For the 102 included patients (48 before and 54 after BiPAP ventilation), the median time to the start of EN decreased from 18 (8–26) hours to 6 (2–8) hours (P < 0.05) Median time to reach calorie goal decreased from 103 (85–120) hours to 48 hours (36–60) (P < 0.05). There were no differences in noninvasive ventilation mean duration. No episodes of aspiration or other adverse effects were documented.

CONCLUSIONS

The implementation of a standardized pathway for EN in patients with BiPAP was associated with faster initiation of EN and a shorter time to reaching caloric goals without any observed adverse events. Although our sample was small, the findings suggest that more aggressive enteral feeding should be considered in patients receiving noninvasive ventilation.
Las razones del voto en Colombia: Analizando las elecciones presidenciales de 2018.
Authors: Gómez Betancur Milany Andrea
Published: January 2025

La presente investigación intenta dar cuenta de cu.les fueron las principales razones que explican el voto en Colombia durante las elecciones presidenciales del año 2018. Así, a través de un análisis teórico-estadístico, se exponen los diferentes componentes que explican el voto por los candidatos en la contienda electoral, poniendo marcada atención en las variables emociones y en qué medida y de qué manera estas jugaron un papel importante. Tomando como base el comportamiento político— electoral y el contexto político colombiano, que ha estado traspasado por diversos fenómenos de violencia, se concluye que la polarización izquierda-derecha en el pa.s fue determinante a la hora del ejercicio del voto por parte de la ciudadanía y generó emociones tanto positivas como negativas hacia los candidatos; una polarización que, a su vez, fue ocasionada por el uribismo como clivaje.
Comentario de lectores y derechas 2.0. Del debate a la confrontación de lecturas sobre el gobierno de Cambiemos en Mar del Plata (2015-2019)
Authors: Calomarde Emiliano
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo se propone analizar los comentarios de lectores de La Capital, uno de los sitios más populares de la ciudad de Mar del Plata, en noticias políticas vinculadas al ex intendente y candidato por la coalición Cambiemos Carlos Fernando Arroyo (2015-2019), referente local cercano a la derecha del espectro político. La construcción del corpus se realizó mediante técnicas de web scraping con el lenguaje de programación R, lo que permitió explorar su conformación general y realizar búsquedas particulares. El análisis de la sección política revela que la dinámica del comentario reactualiza la dicotomía entre peronismo y anti peronismo. Además, emergen nuevas categorías como la de troll, que se entrelazan con las de la cultura local, a los fines de interpelar a los/as usuarios/as. Este hecho devela la polarización social, pero también la relevancia del sitio como espacio de encuentro entre las diferencias políticas.
Activismo político de jóvenes influencers peruanos en Instagram: La defensa de la democracia en un contexto de crisis
Authors: Mackelmann Roedenbeck Mathias
Published: January 2025

La presente investigación se centra en analizar el activismo digital en Instagram de jóvenes políticos influencers peruanos de la generación Y y Z. Éstos viralizaron mensajes en defensa de la democracia durante las manifestaciones en contra de la vacancia del presidente Martín Vizcarra en noviembre del 2020 en plena pandemia del Covid-19, así como durante la época de las elecciones presidenciales del 2021. Mediante la metodología del análisis de contenido de 124 posts, se buscó categorizar e interpretar los mensajes políticos relacionados al concepto de la defensa de la democracia. Los jóvenes defienden la democracia empleando un discurso polarizante, si su ideología es claramente de derecha o izquierda, mientras que los influencers de centro emplean un tono de comunicación más positivo y conciliador. Cabe resaltar que el concepto de democracia se mezcla con el de patriotismo a la hora de referirse a su defensa. Los jóvenes demuestran activismo por la democracia y ven a la corrupción como su mayor amenaza, pero no siempre tienen propuestas claras de cómo fortalecerla.
Jóvenes y preferencias políticas: Afiliaciones partidistas de candidatos a cámara y senado en las elecciones de 2022
Authors: Gelvez Rubio Tatiana , Montilla Niño Adriana Paola
Published: January 2025

La juventud ha sido protagonista de las distintas movilizaciones sociales en América Latina (Amador-Baquiro, Muñoz-Gonzales,  2020) , su participación en estos espacios de protesta ha rebatido la hipótesis sobre su apatía política y ha confirmado que la población joven se inclina hacía mecanismos informales de participación (Dunlop et. al, 2021; Cross y Young, 2008), según esto los jóvenes prefieren vincularse a partidos y organizaciones con la idea de “new politics” y no afiliarse a instituciones políticas tradicionales. No obstante, su adscripción a partidos políticos sigue siendo relevante para la supervivencia de las mismas estructuras partidistas, que necesitan presentar rostros nuevos para que los jóvenes se sientan identificados y, porque su visión en espacios de representación es  necesaria.
El objetivo de capítulo es analizar las afiliaciones partidistas de los jóvenes en las elecciones al Congreso en Colombia en 2022, a partir de la división de los grupos etarios de los y las candidatas a elecciones y constatar si la hipótesis de frente a las preferencias de afiliación de candidatos jóvenes en partidos nuevos pequeños y de tendencia ideológica de izquierda (Belschner, 2022), así como, indagar si persiste la desigualdad de género en los candidatos y candidatas en este grupo etario.
La Amazonía en la disputa electoral de Brasil: discursos, conflictos e intereses bajo el capital
Authors: Prieto Sánchez Daniel , Valencia Orrego Marisol , Pimenteira Cicero
Published: January 2025

La Amazonía es fundamental para la preservación de la vida en la Tierra. Durante el ciclo electoral brasileño de 2022, este bioma se constituyó como un eje central del debate público debido a la flexibilización de las leyes ambientales, el recrudecimiento de los conflictos por el extractivismo “legal” e ilegal, los impactos de la pandemia del covid-19 y las violaciones a los derechos humanos de los pueblos indígenas y las comunidades tradicionales que coexisten en esta región del país. Este artículo de reflexión propone un análisis de los discursos proferidos por los candidatos Jair Bolsonaro y Lula da Silva, con respecto a la Amazonía, en tres momentos representativos: el mandato de Bolsonaro, la campaña presidencial en 2022 y la transición hacia el tercer gobierno de Lula. Para tal objetivo, se adopta la perspectiva crítica de Mészáros para dilucidar las cuestiones del orden sociometabólico, las mediaciones y la reificación que subyacen en estos discursos situados en el contexto de la degradación ambiental del bioma amazónico y los conflictos socioambientales agudizados por la crisis estructural del capital. Se concluye reivindicando la trascendencia ecológica de este bioma y la participación política comunitaria como una oportunidad histórica para ampliar la vida democrática en Brasil.

Los límites sociopolíticos del gobierno Petro. De la disponibilidad social para el momento constitutivo
Authors: Lamus Parra Luis Eduardo
Published: January 2025

El articulo apuesta por un acercamiento heterodoxo dentro de la teoría política marxista latinoamericana en la búsqueda de comprender los limites sociopolíticos del gobierno Petro.  En este sentido, recoge los postulados de corte nacionalista avanzados por el sociólogo boliviano Rene Zavaleta y continuados por el filósofo Luis Tapia, los cuales amplían la vertiente gramsciana situándola en el contexto político e histórico regional. El texto se desarrolló en dos momentos, el primero establece relaciones conceptuales desde las cuales se analizan inercias culturales y sociológicas, inscritas en el proceso histórico de constitución de la sociedad colombiana, figurando intersecciones con el desenvolvimiento del capitalismo en el país. En un segundo momento se caracterizan a grandes rasgos, las dinámicas políticas que instauran una ecuación social que, si bien se resintió de la reciente crisis política, hecha manifiesta en el estallido social, despliega su tozuda carga histórica, impidiendo la generación de disponibilidad social que concrete las reformas propuestas por la primera experiencia progresista en el gobierno.

Erucismo por Lonomia spp. con síndrome cutáneo hemorrágico. Primer caso reportado en la costa norte de Colombia
Authors: Benavides-Arévalo Julie Fernanda , Urón-Pinto Rene Alejandro , Maya-Amaya Leonardo José
Published: January 2025

Resumen
Introducción. Los accidentes con veneno de orugas del género Lonomia en Suramérica se han convertido en un problema de salud pública en los últimos años debido a su incremento. El tratamiento de estos eventos incluye la administración de suero antilonómico y la monitorización cuidadosa en entornos hospitalarios; sin embargo, los criterios de gravedad y las pruebas diagnósticas para su abordaje aún no son claros.
Presentación del caso. Hombre de 35 años residente en La Jagua de Ibirico, Cesar (Colombia), quien el 25 de noviembre de 2018 ingresó a un hospital local de primer nivel de atención por cefalea, mareos y dolor en brazo izquierdo. El paciente relató haber sido picado 5 días antes por un animal cuya especie no pudo identificar, experimentando dolor inmediato en el brazo afectado. Tras descartar varias enfermedades infecciosas y un posible accidente ofídico, y considerando la evolución clínica, se sospechó de erucismo por lonomia spp. y 15 días después del evento se inició tratamiento con suero antilonómico obtenido del Instituto Butantan de Brasil, con lo cual se logró la resolución completa de los síntomas. Durante el seguimiento hecho a los 3 días y los controles realizados al mes y a los 3 meses no se observaron complicaciones relacionadas con el evento.
Conclusión. Es crucial que los médicos de atención primaria reciban una formación adecuada sobre los accidentes causados por Lonomia spp. ya que su diagnóstico se basa principalmente en una evaluación clínica acertada y los erucismos (forma más grave de este tipo de envenenamiento) pueden manifestarse de manera atípica, como en el caso presentado donde el paciente desarrolló un síndrome cutáneo hemorrágico.

Authors: Arrieta-Caycedo Juan Pablo , Acuña-Callejas Maria Fernanda , Barboza-García Verónica Sofia , Arreaza-Graterol Mortimer
Published: January 2025

Resumen
Introducción. La gastrosquisis es un defecto congénito de la pared abdominal que tiene una baja prevalencia y cuya etiología aún es poco conocida. En la mayoría de los casos, el pronóstico es favorable si se detecta de forma temprana y la mortalidad asociada suele ser baja si se hace un seguimiento adecuado; sin embargo, cuando el defecto está asociado a restricción del crecimiento intrauterino (RCIU) el riesgo de desenlace perinatal adverso aumenta.
Presentación del caso. Joven de 16 años con embarazo de 34.6 semanas, quien ingresó en fase expulsiva del trabajo de parto al servicio de urgencias del Hospital Simón Bolívar E.S.E. de Bogotá (Colombia). La paciente, reportó hallazgo ecográfico de gastrosquisis y RCIU, condiciones que causaron muerte fetal.
Conclusiones. La identificación y atención de la gastrosquisis es necesaria, no solo para garantizar un desenlace compatible con la vida del feto, sino para lograr el bienestar y las condiciones dignas para el recién nacido ya que la complejidad de esta condición dificulta la obtención de resultados perinatales satisfactorios. El presente caso resalta la importancia de, por un lado, iniciar de forma temprana un control prenatal adecuado para identificar alteraciones de la gestación y, por el otro, prevenir el embarazo adolescente dadas las complicaciones y los desenlaces adversos que se pueden presentar en este.

Evaluation of normalization methods applied to Short-Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy mineral databases from multiple instruments and for vectoring analysis exploration
Authors: Paredes Juan Camilo , Trigos Yan Carlos , Uribe-Mogollon Camilo
Published: January 2025

Over the past decade, short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectroscopy has made significant advances in detecting geochemical variations in minerals like white mica, alunite, and chlorite for exploring hydrothermal ore deposits. These variations provide valuable clues, indicating changes in temperature, pH, and fluid oxidation state towards the mineralized center. However, small calibration differences among devices challenge data integration. This study evaluates the 2200 nm Al-OH absorption feature in four white mica SWIR spectroscopy databases collected by TerraSpec™ and OreXpress™ from samples at the Grasshopper porphyry prospect. It evaluates three normalization methodologies: rescaling, mean normalization, and Z-score, yielding p-values for successful data merging of up to 0.75. Findings suggest effective normalization methods across devices, reducing biases from uncalibrated spectrometers. This research offers a methodology to correct SWIR database biases, facilitating accurate data integration across instruments for vectoring analysis.
Police and Law Enforcement of Domestic Violence Crimes Based on Human Rights in Indonesia
Authors: Hertanto Iwan , Suparto Supanto , Rustamaji Muhammad , Saefudin Yusuf
Published: January 2025

Domestic Violence (DV) as a form of crime that violates the rights of victims cannot be underestimated, the Police as law enforcement officers must be able to enforce the law fairly and beneficially for the integrity and peace of the household. Domestic violence crimes have a serious impact on family continuity and can even threaten the integrity of a family. This crime can occur at any time and happen to anyone, both men and women, but the majority of domestic violence victims are women. Women and children, as the majority of victims of domestic violence, have attracted international attention. The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) regulates the scope of human rights and the state's obligation to ensure their fulfillment. This normative juridical method research aims to answer why the Police in law enforcement of domestic violence in Indonesia must be based on human rights, through several approaches such as the statutory approach and theoretical approach so that it can be concluded that domestic violence is a criminal offense between the perpetrator and the victim has a close relationship within the scope of the household. Indonesia as a state of law must uphold human rights. Pancasila as the spirit in resolving criminal acts of domestic violence has values that complement each other and qualify between one precept and another and each precept has human rights values. The fundamental values of Pancasila have created a harmonious life in a divine, humane, united, populist, and just manner, this of course has upheld the values of human rights in domestic violence law enforcement by the Police in Indonesia. Keywords: domestic violence, police, law enforcement, human rights

Authors: Aloamaka Patrick Chukwunonso , Omozue Moses Ogorugba
Published: January 2025

The swift progress of artificial intelligence (AI) offers substantial opportunities and significant challenges, particularly concerning human rights in developing nations. This article explores the legal issues and moral conundrums brought about by AI technology's increasing influence on sectors such as healthcare, education, and governance. In developing nations, AI deployment often occurs without robust legal frameworks, potentially infringing on privacy, autonomy, and equity. This study employs a doctrinal research methodology to analyse the effects of AI on fundamental human rights, using case studies to illustrate both benefits and risks. It examines the role of international human rights standards and local legal systems in mitigating adverse impacts. The results highlight the complex interplay between technological innovation and human rights protection, proposing practical recommendations for policymakers, technologists, and legal practitioners. Ultimately, the goal is to foster an environment where AI can contribute to sustainable development while upholding the dignity and rights of all individuals in developing countries. This research contributes to the scientific understanding of AI's ethical and legal implications in the context of human rights.
’Weenhayek Pentecostalism
Authors: Alvarsson Jan-Åke
Published: January 2025

In 1971 almost an entire aboriginal group in the Bolivian and Argentinian Gran Chaco, the ’Weenhayek, converted to Pentecostalism. The revival lasted for several years and resulted in many changes. This article explores the primary effects of the revival, but also the appropriation of the Pentecostal message, how the ’Weenhayek indigenized what the Nordic missionaries once had taught them. For the missionaries, dancing e.g. was something prohibited. Today it is one of the main expressions of ’Weenhayek Pentecostalism. This transformation is categorized as a form of revitalization movement as described by anthropologist Anthony F C Wallace. The article is based on many years of anthropological fieldwork among the ’Weenhayek.
“I Am a Pastor Because Jesus Wants Me to”
Authors: Berge Fredrik , Lilleaasen Robert
Published: January 2025

This article investigates how a group of Evangelical and Pentecostal/Charismatic pastors negotiate calling in their pastoral ministry in northwest Côte d’Ivoire. The focus is not the calling as such, but what function the experience and stories of calling serve in their ministry. The material is constructed from qualitative interviews with pastors working in geographical areas where Christians are a religious minority. Findings show that calling relates to legitimacy, divine intimacy, and motivation for and endurance in ministry. A recurring theme in the interviews was the distinction between pastors called by God and pastors who, according to our informants, called themselves. This distinction applies to the self-referential process of calling as an individual and internal experience. The self-referential problem refers to the quest for an outer confirmation of their internal and individual calling experience. Their legitimacy as pastors depends on the trustworthiness of their calling; consequently, their calling must be demonstrated in their everyday ministry.

The last best place
Authors: Ackley Taylor
Published: January 2025

Nestled beneath Glacier National Park, the Flathead Valley of northwestern Montana is home to a rich, working-class, musical culture led by local, professional artists. Through decades of solo and collaborative work, two of the area’s most celebrated artists, Blackfoot songwriter Jack Gladstone and singing cowboy Rob Quist, have written music exploring the history of northwestern Montana and its connection to people and places today. Weaving together ethnographic research and family history with Place Studies, working-class studies, Indigenous ways of knowing, and Hayden White’s ideas about historical narrative, this article shows how musicians in the Flathead Valley have collaboratively developed a song-based historical discourse that allows long-term locals and visitors alike to experience an emplaced understanding of northwestern Montana and its past. I will also discuss how famous cowboy painter Charles M. Russell serves as an inspirational figure and model of artist-as-historian for these musicians as they navigate the current moment of radical changes in the region. Ultimately, I will demonstrate how considering the layers of history present in this music can allow the listener to move beyond assumptions about this place and its history to hear the fears, hopes, struggles, and inspirations of these working-class artists and their audiences.

Effect of multistage isolation of neutrophils on their counts and viability
Authors: Shvydchenko I. N. , Bykovskaya E. Yu. , Golubtsov V. V.
Published: January 2025

Despite numerous separation methods of neutrophils from peripheral blood, isolation of sufficient quantities of high-purity viable cells for quantitative determination of neutrophil cytokines and their mRNA expression still remains an actual issue. The recommended multi-step purification methods significantly prolong the cell isolation process, potentially leading to cell activation or apoptosis and resulting in significant cell loss. Preliminary purification of neutrophils is the most critical stage in terms of time spent, and several additional manipulations with cells. To address this challenge, our study aimed to compare various methods of preliminary neutrophil isolation in order to select the optimal approach to obtaining a sufficient number of viable peripheral neutrophils.

We studied the effects of three different protocols for preliminary isolation of cell suspensions: (a) centrifugation of whole blood at a single-step density gradient followed by sedimentation of red blood cells with dextran; (b) centrifugation of whole blood on a double density gradient; (c) rapid isolation of leukocytes using a reagent that promotes red blood cell aggregation. The cell counts and viability of purified neutrophils were tested at the final stage using negative immunomagnetic selection. Our study has shown that the methods used for preliminary neutrophil isolation significantly affect both the number and viability of the cells. The highest number of viable neutrophils was obtained using a conventional method of blood centrifugation at a density gradient followed by dextran sedimentation of red blood cells. However, the three studied methods of preliminary neutrophil isolation did not show statistically significant differences with respect to quantitative yield of viable cells after immunomagnetic isolation. These findings suggest that any of these methods may be applied, depending on capabilities and preferences of the researchers. In summary, our findings confirm previous studies indicating that the multistep process of neutrophil isolation allows for obtaining a high-purity cell suspension (> 99.1%) which can be used in future studies of their cytokine-secreting activity. However, such multi-stage isolation significantly reduces the yield of neutrophils, thus being critical for studying of initially small blood volumes.
A Constitution I Am Used To? Constitutional Endurance and Replacement in Democratic Latin America
Authors: Couto Lucas , Lopes Amanda Vitória , Albala Adrián
Published: January 2025

It is well known that during times of social unrest, replacing the constitution is one of the first proposals to emerge, at least in Latin America, as if this constitutional shift could resolve any problem. Constitutional substitution is not a new phenomenon in Latin America; it actually began after the region’s redemocratization. However, it is striking that, despite similar conditions of social unrest, many other countries in the region have not undergone such an encompassing constitutional reform. Our main focus here is to analyze the persistence of constitutions in Latin American countries. We thus ask: What conditions lead democratic countries to keep their constitutions? Using a configurational approach, our preliminary results are promising. Together, four pathways explain why some countries have not replaced their constitutions in democratic contexts, with special emphasis on the number of rights enshrined in these fundamental laws.

ABSTRACT Objective To describe the profile of transgender children and adolescents receiving care at a gender affirming outpatient clinic within the Brazilian National Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS) in São Paulo. Methods This was a descriptive study involving 555 participants, who received care between 2009 and 2020, in tertiary care services of the SUS. Data were analyzed using Pearson’s chi-square test and standard deviation, considering gender, age, and origin. Results Between 2009 and 2020, there was an increase among males (2009, 0%; 2020, 83.3%) and a decrease among females (2009, 100%; 2020, 16.6%), with an average age of 13.7 and 14.3 years. The majority (93.7%) of consultations was performed in the Southeast region. Conclusion Over the two decades analyzed, there was an increase in healthcare demand from male transgender children and adolescents, while there was a proportional reduction among females. Care for children and adolescents was concentrated in the Southeast region.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a representação dos itinerários de acesso ao processo transexualizador no Brasil e as principais barreiras enfrentadas pelas pessoas trans. Método Realizou-se revisão de escopo da literatura. As buscas ocorreram em janeiro de 2024, sendo elegíveis artigos e revisões que abordam o acesso ao processo transexualizador e excluídos livros, capítulos, conferências, documentos editoriais e estudos que descreviam procedimentos cirúrgicos. Resultados Foram localizados 776 artigos, dos quais 9 foram incluídos. 66% dos trabalhos analisados foram pesquisas de campo com entrevistas. Os achados evidenciam as 5 etapas do processo transexualizador: atendimento nas unidades básicas de saúde, encaminhamento, acompanhamento multidisciplinar, procedimento cirúrgico e atendimento local aos indivíduos. Conclusão Os estudos centravam-se nas barreiras de acesso ao processo transexualizador, e não nas formas de acesso, evidenciando lacuna sobre os itinerários de acesso ao processo.

RESUMO Objetivo Identificar as evidências disponíveis sobre o risco de desenvolver câncer em pessoas transgênero que se tratam por meio de hormonioterapia. Métodos Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática rápida nas bases de dados PubMed, Embase, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde, Cochrane Library e Epistemonikos. A triagem e a extração de dados foram conduzidas por revisores independentes na plataforma Rayyan. A extração dos dados foi realizada por 3 revisores independentes. Utilizamos os checklists do Instituto Joanna Briggs específicos para estudos de coorte e caso-controle para avaliar a qualidade metodológica dos estudos incluídos. Resultados Foram incluídos 5 estudos, sendo 4 estudos de coorte e 1 caso-controle. O risco de pessoas transgênero desenvolverem câncer em hormonioterapias foi identificado por 2 estudos e não identificado por 3 estudos. Conclusão Apesar de estudos com grandes amostras e critérios de seleção rigorosos, a literatura não apresenta consenso sobre a associação entre a hormonioterapia e o desenvolvimento de câncer em indivíduos transgênero.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar a relação entre as violências sofridas na infância e a violência autoprovocada em um grupo de travestis e mulheres transexuais do estado do Rio de Janeiro. Métodos Tratou-se de estudo transversal realizado com 139 participantes selecionadas por meio de amostragem por conveniência entre 2019 e 2020. Foi utilizado questionário estruturado para a coleta de dados. Foi calculada a razão de chances (odds ratio, OR) e intervalo de confiança de 95% (IC95%) de ideação suicida, tentativa de suicídio e autoabuso pelas variáveis do estudo, por meio de regressão logística. Resultados Ter sofrido abuso emocional na infância aumentou a tentativa de suicídio (OR=9,00; IC95% 1,13;71,34), ter sofrido violência psicológica na infância aumentou o comportamento autoabusivo (OR=11,64; IC95% 2,35;57,5), a infecção por HIV aumentou a ideação suicida (OR=2,38; IC95% 1,09;5,21). Conclusão As violências sofridas na infância, bem como a vivência de doenças estigmatizantes, aumentaram o risco de violência autoprovocada entre essa população.
Effect of temperature on geogrid-soil interface performance based on pullout test

Published: January 2025

The geosynthetic–soil interface interaction mechanism under changes in ambient temperature may influence the serviceability of geosynthetic–reinforced soil (GRS) structures. However, very few studies analysed the effect of temperature on interface behaviour. This study conducted 20 pullout tests to investigate the effects of interface temperature and normal stress on the geogrid–sand interaction. The test results demonstrated that the interface temperature significantly affects the pullout performance. At lower interface temperatures, the peak pullout forces at the interfaces under the same normal stress are higher, whereas the time to reach the peak pullout force is longer at higher interface temperatures. The lag effect in the tensile force transfer along the reinforcement length becomes more prominent as the interface temperature increases, and both the geogrid displacement and average strains farther from the loading end decrease significantly. Additionally, the interface shear strength decreases as the interface temperature increases. In this paper, two reduction factors involving the interfacial cohesion and friction angle are presented, and the relationship between each reduction factor and interface temperature is established. The results provide valuable insights into the design of GRS walls subjected to varying environmental temperatures.

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), as lubricant additives, have remarkable potential in super lubrication performance because of their big surface area, tunable chemistry, load-bearing capacity, corrosion protection, and environmental friendliness. However, only a small number of MOFs are capable of melting. In this paper, zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8) nanoparticles (diameter of 100 nm) were practically produced and incorporated with a hydrophobic ionic liquid (IL) to develop a novel high-performance MOFs-based ZIF-8@IL nanolubricant additive. Then, reciprocating tribological experiments were conducted across a range of ZIF-8@IL concentrations addition in the 150 SN base oil. With respect to using the plain oil, the use of addition of ZIF-8@IL exhibits very good lubrication performance and the optimized case was achieved with the incorporation of a 4.0 wt.% ZIF-8@IL additive, resulting in a decrease of about 27% in coefficient of friction and 20% in the wear track width. The notable lubrication achievement is due to the collective effects of rolling, mending, polishing, and tribofilm formation. In addition, the use of ZIF-8@IL nanolubricant demonstrated an obvious inhibition of oxidational wear. The findings in this study offer valuable insights to promote the development of high-efficient MOFs-core nanolubricant additive.
Focus and negation in Italian why-questions

Published: January 2025

In the present study, we investigate whether negation interacts with the set of alternatives that are elicited by why-questions. More precisely, we examine whether negation modifies the so-called contrast-class (set of alternatives) in the same way as negation interacts with other constructions, such as focal elements in declarative sentences. To this end, we conducted a multiple forced-choice experiment on Italian and German why-questions in which we examined this interaction in broad and narrow focus conditions in the presence and absence of negation. The results indicate that in both languages, the presence of a narrow focus changes the set of alternatives of a why-question in comparison to a broad focus interpretation, even in the presence of negation. These findings show that focus guides the creation of alternatives. They further imply that the effect of negation on the set of alternatives is pragmatic because negation does not modify the truth-conditional value of the alternatives and it remains the same in the presence or absence of the narrow focus. The addition of negation turns a set of false contrasting propositions into a set of true contrasting propositions.
