Sex-dependent change in the reactivity of isolated pulmonary arteries of gonadectomized rats under the intermittent hypoxia of different degree
Authors: Pankova N. V. , Artemieva M. M. , Medvedeva N. A.
Published: September 2021

Introduction. Pulmonary vasoconstriction is one of factors of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH). The progression of this disease depends on the degree of hypoxiа and seх. The aim of this study was to investigate the reactivity of isolated pulmonary vessels of male and female rats with HPH to vasoactive factors. Materials and methods. The experiments were on male and female of Wistar rats 190–200 g, which were gonadectomized. All animals were divided into 4 groups. One group of males and female rats was kept in a vivarium (21 % О2 ). To simulate HPH, other rats were exposed to hypobaric hypoxia for 10 hours a day at an oxygen content in the inhaled air equal to 13 % (pP O2 103.7 mmHg) or 10 % (pP O2 78,2 mmHg), or 8 % (pP O2 63,5 mmHg) as compared to its content at 21 % (pP О2 159 mmHg). After that, a third-order pulmonary vessel was perfused at a constant flow rate with vasoconstrictors and vasodilators. The reaction was recorded by the change in perfusion pressure. Results. In females with HРН 10 %O2 , constricting response to serotonin were greater than in males. In normotensive males, the dilatory response to sodium nitroprusside (NP) was less than in female. Exposure to hypoxia induced an increase in NP responses. Conclusion. Increased reactivity of pulmonary vessels to serotonin is a factor of pathogenesis of HPH in females, in contrast to males. Increased reactivity to NO donor in males exposed to hypoxia сan be used for a pharmacological target for HPH.

School Furniture and Musculoskeletal Disorders in Left-Handed Students
Authors: Nurwulan Nurul Retno , Bella Kristiani Adhelia
Published: September 2021

Latar Belakang:

Siswa dominan tangan kiri atau kidal menghadapi kesulitan di dalam kelas dikarenakan furniture sekolah dirancang untuk populasi siswa dominan tangan kanan. Siswa kidal terpaksa harus menyesuaikan postur tubuh mereka agar dapat mencapai meja yang terdapat di sebelah kanan kursi kelas. Postur tubuh yang buruk ini dapat mengakibatkan kelainan musculoskeletal (MSDs) pada siswa kidal.

Tujuan:

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi pengaruh furniture sekolah terhadap risiko MSDs pada siswa kidal. Selain itu, potensi manfaat dari penggunaan kursi yang sesuai untuk siswa kidal dalam mengurangi ketidaknyamanan muskuloskeletal juga dievaluasi.

Metode Penelitian:

Sebanyak 14 siswa kidal diminta untuk mengisi kuesioner muskuloskeletal Nordic (NMW) untuk mengidentifikasikan permasalahan Kesehatan mereka yang berkaitan dengan furnitur sekolah. Sudut deviasi leher dan punggung bawah dari posisi duduk tegap digunakan sebagai evaluasi dari manfaat kursi yang dirancang untuk siswa kidal.

Hasil:

Korelasi Pearson’s menunjukkan bahwa duduk terlalu lama, postur tubuh yang buruk, dan durasi pelajaran dalam kelas berkaitan dengan permasalahan muskuloskeletal pada siswa. Dari hasil evaluasi menggunakan t-test berpasangan, ditemukan bahwa kursi yang sesuai untuk siswa kidal dapat mengurangi sudut deviasi leher dan punggung bawah dari posisi duduk tegap.

Kesimpulan:

Kursi yang dirancang untuk siswa dominan tangan kanan dapat meningkatkan potensi risiko MSDs pada siswa kidal. Kursi yang dapat mengakomodasi baik siswa dominan tangan kanan maupun siswa kidal dibutuhkan untuk mengurangi risiko MSDS pada siswa.
A comparison between PSAK 71 and PSAK 55 in the banking industry
Authors: Devi Sunitha , Wigarba I Gede Arya , Herawati Nyoman Trisna , Yasa I Nyoman Putra
Published: September 2021

Economic activities ascending from the use of PSAK 55 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards) are alleged to be the cause of the Indonesian bank system instability when facing the global financial crisis in 2008. PSAK 55 results in CKPN (allowance for impairment losses) allocation on a procyclical nature. Therefore, it is expected that   PSAK 71 implementation avoids procyclical CKPN that does not reflect sustainable financial performance. The current study is conducted to test the effectiveness of PSAK 71 implementation in hindering procyclical and credit crunch mitigation. The study’s population is the banking industry listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange from 2008 to 2020. The data are then descriptively analyzed using descriptive analysis and the Wilcoxon Rank Test. The findings show that: 1) there is a significant difference in CKPN between PSAK 55 and PSAK 71 implementations, with no significant difference in the CAR and profit values, 2) there is no significant difference in the CKPN value applied based on PSAK 71 before and after entering the COVID-19 pandemic, and 3) there are significant differences in credit disbursement during the 2008 crisis and the 2020 crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Somatic Research Bibliography: A Working Tool for Somatics and Somatic Psychology
Authors: Criswell Hanna Eleanor
Published: September 2021

Many years ago when Somatics magazine was young, it occurred to me that it would be valuable to collect and publish research article references in Somatics magazine that were relevant to the different somatics disciplines to encourage the development of the field. There were next to no studies devoted to Somatics itself, but there were many studies devoted to the elements of somatic practices. Somatics is a multidisciplinary field. It builds on the research findings from many fields, such as anatomy, physiology, neurophysiology, psychology, dance, biomechanics, and education. The references are selected to be suggestive to the interested researcher and practitioner for their purposes and of the many possible research avenues that are yet to be explored. I have collected these research references for more than four decades. I worked originally with Psychological Abstracts, then PsychInfo, and finally, PubMed. Over that time there has been more research done on the somatic disciplines themselves. The greatest amount of research has been done on yoga (the oldest and largest of the somatic disciplines) and yoga therapy. These studies are examples of the research that can be done with the other somatics disciplines as well. We are in an era that appreciates evidence-based practice and practice-based evidence. This is evidence. These research articles are selected according to the following criteria: The article combines both body and mind either in its research design or theoretical perspective; the research design incorporates convergent measures—that is, it includes physiological, behavioral, and psychological measures; subjective and objective measures; and the research focuses on the whole organism (human) from a somatic perspective—that is, the effect of a body therapy on a psychological state. Topics addressed include biofeedback, body psychotherapy, consciousness states, electrophysiology, kinesiology, mind and body, motor processes, neural basis of motor control, neuroscience, posture and emotion, psychophysiology, and yoga/yoga therapy.
Mindfulness Based Specific Phobia Intervention: A Pilot Study of Dissociated Ego State Resolution
Authors: Smith Genine , Hartelius Glenn
Published: September 2021

This pilot study was designed to investigate the efficacy of a mindfulness based intervention for the treatment of needle phobia. The research question was whether one session of the dissociated ego state [DES] trauma release intervention would result in significant and durable release of needle phobia. It was hypothesized that the process tested in this study may reduce needle phobia by locating, identifying, and engaging with a dissociated aspect of the psyche developed from earlier trauma. Six participants who self reported fear of needles and resulting avoidance of medical assistance completed one 60-minute, individual session of a mindfulness based protocol for the release of specific phobia. After the DES intervention session, all participants but one reported reduced subjective units of distress while holding the needle against their skin: reduction of 61% post-test, 71% at 3-month follow-up, and 70% at 6-month follow up. Results at 6-month follow-up were statistically significant despite small sample size. Future investigations should involve larger sample sizes, populations drawn from various settings, more facilitators and a randomized, waitlist group.
Animal-Assisted Play: A Strategy for Promoting Children’s Physical Activity Play
Authors: Boisvert Jennifer , Harrell W. Andrew
Published: September 2021

This article explores how animal-assisted play might be used as a strategy in playwork to support children’s right to play, enrich their play experiences, encourage their physical activity play and better their health and life quality. Children’s interactions with pets or companion animals in free play or animal-assisted activities (AAA) can yield therapeutic benefits by increasing physical and mental health and well-being and also offer possibilities for more outdoor play, agency, risk-taking, fun and enjoyment, as well as high-quality play experiences. We invite playwork practitioners to consider the important role of animals in children’s lives and the potential value of animal-assisted play in creating opportunities for enriching children’s play and life quality.
The Use of the Autobiographical Graphic Novel by Iranian Authors as a Means of Forging Nationalist and Feminist Identity
Authors: Funk Max
Published: September 2021

In this essay I explore the increasing use of autobiographical graphic novels by Iranian writers as a means of forging identity and reacting to political events in Iran. I analyze the ways in which the intersecting roles of autobiographical and graphic components (namely the use of framing) of novels such as Persepolis, An Iranian Metamorphosis, and Zahra’s Paradise create a particularly subjective narrative. I argue that this subjectivity gives weight to the nationalist and often feminist focus of the novels in a way that makes readers more likely to accept these sentiments. Finally, I examine the ways in which the novels respond to and work with the Orientalist discourse created by Western nations as that discourse relates to Iran.
The Almost Great Escape: The Continuing Tourism Development of Croatia as a Destination
Authors: Wohlgamuth Jennifer
Published: September 2021

The tourism industry in Croatia is experiencing a slower development than other European countries. Because of their current union in the communist state of Yugoslavia and the Civil War between Croatia, Serbia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Croatian Tourism Board needs to recreate a stable infrastructure in which to grow their tourism. Some of the occurring issues with current Croatian tourism is high seasonality, lack of multiple foreign languages, underdeveloped transportation structures, and homogenization of Croatian culture. This paper offers a brief history of Croatian tourism, current developments, current development issues, and suggestions for a change in managerial structure to increase the amount of tourists to the state and to overall improve the Croatian economy while focusing on interdisciplinary methods.
No Nazis in Valhalla: Understanding the Use (and Misuse) of Nordic Cultural Markers in Third Reich Era Germany
Authors: Nighswander Lena
Published: September 2021

While medieval concepts are frequently used as a means for the general public to understand emerging global political institutions around the world, they also have immense capability to be purposely misused by political groups due to the generally vague and misguided understanding of these concepts by the masses. At one core of these movements is the legacy of Vikings and the misrepresentation of their history by far-right political groups, especially in mid-20th century Europe, in order to push a fictitious agenda of a prosperous, all-white race of seafaring warriors. Through the appropriation of medieval Old Norse imagery and mythology, as well as the construction of the idea of a pure Nordic race and the spread of propaganda through media by artists like Richard Wagner, the Nazi Party was able to utilize the newfound elevation of Nordic culture to legitimize its own ideas of racial purity and culture.
Public Opinion in the United States and Hungary: How Trump and Orbán have Manufactured the Debate over Refugees
Authors: Cervenka Eve
Published: September 2021

This research paper is inspired by the author’s recent experience interning with US Together – Cleveland, a non-profit refugee resettlement agency that provides services before, during, and immediately after refugees’ arrival. It will utilize a humanitarian approach to the topic of public opinion and perception of refugees in the United States. In order to put these findings in the context of world refugee response, Hungary will be considered as another case study. This will include a look into the history of refugees in both countries, as well as the recent policy changes by both the Trump and Orban administrations respectively. This is a critical topic in today’s increasingly globalized world as there appears to be negative attitudes to waves of refugees arriving in both countries. The purpose of closely following the Trump and Orban policies will be to determine whether the vitriol espoused by these leaders is a result of those feelings already being present in the population that elected them, or if their cult of personalities have popularized the peoples’ perceptions of immigrants and refugees. This paper will explore the historical, economic, and social factors that relate to public opinion of refugees. This paper finds that it is most likely that Trump and Orban are microphones of their electorate. While they themselves might hold these views, they were elected on xenophobic platforms because enough people also held these beliefs.
Conceptualizaciones de salud mental y Covid-19

En este artículo de investigación se revisan las perspectivas teóricas, técnicas y filosóficas de la salud mental, considerando las semejanzas entre el escenario del conflicto armado en Colombia y el aislamiento social ocasionado por la pandemia de la covid-19. Metodológicamente, se aplica la referencia cruzada en un artículo de la profesora Hernández Holguín del cual se seleccionan 10 documentos; se agrega información de sitios web de instituciones gubernamentales encargadas de la salud mental y la covid-19 en Colombia. Prepondera el análisis temático para debatir y validar en plenaria las interpretaciones y los hallazgos, en los cuales se evidencia que los desarrollos conceptuales de la salud mental son complementarios, destacándose entre ellos el énfasis en las relaciones sociales como dimensión de la salud mental propuesto por Martín Baró. Se concluye que es necesario promover en los mensajes oficiales sobre el cuidado de la salud mental en tiempos de pandemia las comprensiones de la salud mental centradas en los vínculos sociales y su resignificación en la vida cotidiana.
Evaluación neuropsicológica en estados confabulatorios

En la confabulación se presentan fallos para reconocer el orden cronológico de la información almacenada, inhibir algunas respuestas, monitorear el comportamiento y beneficiarse de claves externas. La aparente anosognosia de quien la padece se ha relacionado con fallos en la memoria y en las funciones ejecutivas, lo cual puede evidenciarse por medio de diferentes pruebas específicas de memoria y/u otras neuropsicológicas de uso frecuente. El objetivo del artículo es conocer las presentaciones, la etiología y los correlatos neuroanatómicos de la confabulación y su comportamiento a través de diferentes protocolos de evaluación neuropsicológica. Como metodología se acude a la revisión descriptiva de información no mayor a cinco años (desde 2015 hasta 2020), obtenida a través de bases de datos como Google Scholar, Redalyc.Org, Researcher-app, Pub Med y Scielo. Se encuentran alrededor de cincuenta artículos de publicaciones recientes en los que la confabulación es el eje de estudio o por lo menos está implicada en los criterios de inclusión de los estudios realizados. La confabulación se ha constituido en un fenómeno heterogéneo. En términos de clasificación, parecería más practico y brindaría más información la forma de orden sugerida por Schnider para la confabulación en sus cuatro vertientes. El daño orbitofrontal o de lóbulo frontal no es la única etiología de la confabulación y se presume que las pruebas de función ejecutiva usadas en neuropsicología no tienen la sensibilidad suficiente para desvelar la disfunción frontal específica que subyace a las confabulaciones tal como la poseen las pruebas de memoria.
Editor’s Introduction

The image that undoubtedly captures the embodied reality of living in the ‘post-pandemic’ world as a Black grad student is the viral blurry Mr. Krabs meme surrounded by an angry mob[i]—yeah, that one! I have no idea what’s going on academically—I haven’t fully recovered from the plague of Black death that has become ‘the newly designated disposable bodies of the pandemic’ –my world has shaken. This meme encapsulates the disorientated state I currently occupy. The once urgent and ignited public discourse regarding systemic police reforms are now stagnant, thwarted by state and public debates of the vaccinated vs. unvaccinated that places responsibility on BIPOC to stop the spread of COVID-19. In the ‘post-pandemic world’, death and freedom are immutably interwoven; the freedom to die is set above the unfreedom of containment and ‘forced’ vaccinations—and the freedom to live longer; relatively free, is through the unfreedom of mobility. So, what does life feel like as a Black grad student navigating social media/public feeds that choose to strip colonial, racist, and imperialist histories from strict biopolitical regimes of COVID-19 containment in Canada and at York University? It feels suffocating—it is violent.

- Beatrice Anane-Bediakoh, Chief-Deputy-Editor

These days, COVID-19 is consistent background noise, while the movements for racial justice are distant memories. We’re so distracted by technology; we don't hear the stories of tragedy or hear the politicians lie casually when they promise change passionately – do those ideas ever really come to life? Time passes and the masses’ attention turns to the next day, but the next day brings Black, Indigenous and People of Colour dying in daylight. So much pain, too many emotions, and just to listen, is a fight. Time is life and these days that’s a luxury. So today, I sit here daydreaming and realize that tomorrow brings the best yet to come. So tonight, I lay here dreaming of an otherwise that fights the tragedy of reality. All while thinking of my son, holding him close, so I don’t let him drown, so I don’t let him down.

- Giovanni Carranza- Hernandez, Chief-Deputy-Editor

I don’t know what time is. I have long joked that “time is a construct.” It’s an occupational hazard to make such philosophical declarations. But now, I feel the words in my marrow. Was it not a minute ago, that everyone cared about the state sanction killing of Black and Indigenous folx and PoC? Was 2019 not last week, a few sleepless nights away? When was it, that my home went from a mundane reality to an uncanny fact of life? When did today stop being tomorrow? Being Brown, a grad student, queer, enby, femme, it’s always timeless, but now, time is the chokehold of staying still and propelling simultaneously. I am me tomorrow, yesterday, today. I am the construction to which I used to attribute time.

(Un)Managing Emotions at the Forefront: Stories from Shoreham Picket Line
Authors: Sukarieh Rana
Published: September 2021

In this article, I reflect on my experience as an active rank and file member of CUPE 3903, the union representing contract faculty and graduate students at York University in Toronto, Ontario, during the 2018 York University Strike, where I volunteered as a front-line communicator, or “car talker”. Drawing on these experiences, I reflect on the ways in which picketers generally try to (un)manage the emotions of drivers passing through the picket line. My analysis is focused on a particular venue - the Shoreham picket line located at the southwest entrance of the university, and centers around my personal interactions with the drivers crossing the picket line during the morning hours from March 2018 to May 2018. My analysis aims to open up space to discuss the largely overlooked role that the emotions of the public play in shaping the picket line experience. In particular, I provide a multi-directional analysis of the encounters that occurred between the picketers and the general public at the Shoreham picket line during the 2018 strike, highlighting the multiplicity of variables, such as the environment, the pre-existing beliefs of the participants, and expressions of collective anger, which informed these encounters. In doing this, I illuminate the complexity of the intertwined relationship between emotional and cognitive framing, thereby providing a more comprehensive model for understanding the role that emotions play in social movement organizing.
Exploring the Boundaries of Critical Pedagogy
Authors: Areguy Fitsum
Published: September 2021

This visual essay attempts to evoke an aesthetic and affectual entry into the social-spatial terrains I navigate as a Black man and graduate student in Southwestern Ontario. I arrange the relationship between photographs of a factory in my hometown and short reflections into three scenes: The first scene touches on the racial and colonial violence that lingers and manifests in academia, as illustrated through my personal experiences. The essay moves to a second scene, touching on the settler-colonial legacy of the factory, as well as reckons with the anti-colonial implications of photographing the demolition and the troubling of subject-object relationships. The last scene emphasizes that, despite pedagogical efforts, the residue of racial and colonial violence in academic settings will still have some degree of impact on racialized students. Critical pedagogues must contend with the reality that racialized students, by virtue of being and existing in academic spaces, embody a pedagogy that could potentially disrupt and deconstruct learning environments into transformative, radical, respectful and caring spaces.
so Angry, so Black
Authors: Appah Kwene
Published: September 2021

The constant fear that exists within me, in both academic and non-academic environments, to avoid being the ‘angry black woman’ has left me paralyzed and feeling invisible. Academia, even academia that is centered on human betterment, is whitewashed. It is disheartening learning about the oppression of the marginalized from a perspective that can only empathize. It is from this place that I anchor the following poem. What the poem lacks in length it makes up for in raw emotion. The burden of being Black and femme for the entirety of one’s life is a heavy cross to bear. Black women are continuously failed inside and outside of the Black community. Black women are the foot soldiers, the healers, the tacticians, the martyrs, and yet, their compensation is abuse. In this year of 2020, a devastating decade that has still not given us any peace, I fully accept being the angry Black woman. Unequivocally, unapologetically.
Affections and Afflictions With You
Authors: Park Gloria
Published: September 2021

This poem is about the underlying discrimination that East Asian people encounter in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. After the pandemic struck, I started to analyze my thoughts and feelings on subtle and covert racism, especially during quarantine, which manifested into this piece. My poem explores firsthand experiences of the kind of microaggressions that second generation immigrants from Asia are regularly subject to, as well as the realities of xenophobia, cultural confusion, and identity disjuncture we often endure. Through the poetic form, I expose how everyday interactions are laden with histories of anti-Asian racism and, more specifically, how the coronavirus has further revealed these concealed racist beliefs. The piece opens up the deep-rooted feelings of displacement I have long experienced and ponders if the recent rise in hate crimes against Asians are mere infestations of a hatred that has been growing for generations.
Thoughts of Sorts
Authors: Oreamuno Sebastian
Published: September 2021

My multi-media daily practice of dancing, drawing, and writing is a generative space that does not buy into the idea and pressure of productivity. It has been over four years since I started this daily practice, which I began on June 21, 2017. I engage this practice to process. It is a practice for processing “things” such as texts, theories, daily situations, and our current time, informed by sensations and feelings. What has emergedfor me in this practice is how every aspect of it — the dancing, drawing, writing, music, silence, camera, space, time, cats (yes! my cats sometimes dance with me), and life — plays a role. All of these things are in conversation with one another, and they inform who I am,my becoming.Lately, I have engaged this practiceas a methodology. That is,I have used it to excavate and re-connect with the Chilean national dance, a danceform that I used to practice when I was a child in Chile. However, for me, this practice is much more thanthat. These writing and drawings are from me, about me, and extensions of me — my thoughts of sorts.* And,they are my gifts to you.
In Defense of #blackAF's Celebration of Mediocrity
Authors: Joseph Aharon
Published: September 2021

This article explores how television and film writer-producer Kenya Barris’ Netflix series #blackAF disturbs and seemingly upends Black millennial woke cultural assumptions about the good life. This, I contend - not discounting the valid classist and colourist critiques of the show - is the animus for Black millennial discontent with #blackAF. Specifically, I reveal the hashtags #blackexcellence and #supporteverythingblack to be ideological blankets covering the unfortunate reality of everyday Black life. These hashtags, which do the ideological work of covering over reality, are made unstable and incoherent by #blackAF’s apotheosizing of mediocrity as a grand cultural accomplishment. In one fell swoop #blackAF manages to give the death knell to Cosbyian respectability politics, which have hitherto been operating in the guise of the hashtag #blackexcellence.
“Verdade” e sucesso
Authors: Moraes Érika de
Published: September 2021

Os discursos constituintes, a exemplo do religioso e do filosófico, são aqueles que se autolegitimam, apoiando-se em “sua própria verdade”, enquanto outros discursos, caso do jornalístico, buscam fundamentar seus argumentos em outras fontes legitimadoras. Na contemporaneidade, o discurso econômico parece se elevar a um grau máximo de discurso constituinte, conforme mostram as “fórmulas de sucesso” que circulam na prática discursiva. Neste trabalho, apresentamos uma discussão teórica a respeito dos discursos constituintes e da noção de “verdade”, à luz de alguns dados, com objetivo de, por um lado, refletir sobre a emergência do discurso econômico como o principal constituinte da atualidade e, por outro, ampliar as discussões sobre o funcionamento material desse discurso em um recorte de corpus de mídias digitais. Os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos da Análise do Discurso de linha francesa embasam nosso trabalho, no qual mobilizamos: a concepção teórica sobre os discursos constituintes, conforme o quadro proposto por Maingueneau; a reflexão sobre “verdade” e “subjetividade”, com fundamentação na psicanálise lacaniana. Entendemos que a soberania do discurso econômico desempenha papel determinante na reprodução do negacionismo histórico-científico, uma vez que, entre outros fatores, justifica políticas centradas mais na economia do que na educação e na ciência.
Análise multidimensional
Authors: Delfino Maria Claudia Nunes
Published: September 2021

A Linguística de Corpus, um dos ramos da Linguística Aplicada, tem como um dos seus construtos metodológicos a análise multidimensional, uma metodologia que leva em consideração a parte quantitativa da linguística, onde grandes quantidades de textos que formam o corpus de análise passam por procedimentos estatísticos. As características linguísticas dos textos são agrupadas em fatores de acordo com sua coocorrência nos textos que, ao serem interpretados linguisticamente, são chamadas de dimensões. Essa abordagem metodológica teve início na década de 80 com o linguista Douglas Biber nos Estados Unidos implementando o que chamamos abordagem americana da Linguística de Corpus. No Brasil, esta abordagem é desenvolvida tanto em textos em língua inglesa, portuguesa, alemã e espanhola e o LAEL na PUC-SP é o polo de desenvolvimento desta metodologia. O presente trabalho é uma revisão de literatura dessa abordagem que a princípio foi desenvolvida para análise gramatical / funcional e, hoje em dia, já há trabalhos na área lexical, semântica e colocacional.

Published: September 2021

Neste artigo, buscamos discutir a migração caboverdiana para São Tomé e Príncipe, focando em fatos históricos e nas condições de trabalho e de vida dos trabalhadores contratados no arquipélago. Ademais, discutimos a percepção da presença caboverdiana em São Tomé e Príncipe pelos caboverdianos e seus descendentes, e pelos santomenses (forros, angolares e principenses), enfatizando questões de segregação social, preconceito e identidade. Junto às informações coletadas a partir de pesquisa bibliográfica, apresentamos também relatos colhidos em trabalho de campo realizado na Ilha do Príncipe, em 2018, acerca das condições de vida e de trabalho dos caboverdianos no Príncipe. Foram entrevistados seis informantes residentes das antigas propriedades agrícolas Sundy e Belo Monte. Concluímos, a partir de dados históricos e das entrevistas realizadas durante o trabalho de campo, que a comunidade caboverdiana e seus descendentes reúnem, ao mesmo tempo, elementos de Cabo Verde e de São Tomé e Príncipe, tendo criado, assim, um novo espaço social e cultural.
Gramática e texto

Published: September 2021

A descrição da flexão, em compêndios gramaticais e livros didáticos, não é relacionada, muitas vezes, à realidade do aluno e ao texto. Em geral, abordam-se tempos que caíram em desuso e são desconhecidos do aluno como se tais dados fossem do cotidiano do estudante (BASSO; PIRES DE OLIVEIRA, 2012; FRANCHI, 2006). Além do enfoque exagerado na análise de marcas de modo-tempo (MT) e número-pessoa (NP) desconhecidas, não há ênfase no significado, não se utilizam critérios científicos para definir esse processo morfológico e não se estabelece a relação entre estratégias flexionais e produção/leitura de texto (VIVAS et al., 2019; VIVAS; GONÇALVES, 2020). Desta forma, o presente artigo visa a colaborar para reflexões acerca do ensino da flexão, tendo em vista não só o status morfológico desse expediente, mas também seu papel textual/discursivo, à luz de pressupostos da Linguística Textual (KOCH; ELIAS, 2016). Analisamos um editorial do jornal e memes extraídos da internet, relacionando as estratégias flexionais utilizadas ao efeito de sentido gerado por tais formas nesses textos. Assim, além de abordar novos usos da flexão, propomos estratégias de ensino com o objetivo de promover uma análise linguística atrelada à leitura e à produção de sentidos, conforme apregoam os documentos oficiais sobre ensino de língua portuguesa.

Published: September 2021

The current literature has pointed out the existence of positive influences of spiritual and religious beliefs in cancer treatment. The study, promoted by the Centre for Multidisciplinary Research in Culture, Faith and Reason (NUCFER), sought to understand the conception of cancer patients and health professionals about the inclusion of spirituality in the treatment of people with cancer. Thus, the general objective of this project was to understand the meaning of spirituality for cancer patients during their treatment and how this experience can contribute to support human care and relationships between patients and the healthcare team. The research was qualitative, using the semi-structured interview technique. 06 (six) health professionals were interviewed, one Nursing Assistant, three Registered Nurses and two Doctors; and 05 (five) people who have already gone through cancer treatment or are going through it. In a total of eleven people interviewed, all stated that it is important to take into account the spirituality of patients undergoing cancer treatment, as it significantly contributes to the treatment and coping with the difficulties arising from this painful process, in addition to valuing the human person byseeing them beyond their disease. Thus, the research revealed that the spirituality of patients undergoing cancer treatment must be taken into account, respected and encouraged when they wish. Subsequently, ithelps to maintain the emotional health of these individuals in high suffering, to recognize themselves in their integrity as humans, to respect all their expressions of living beings in the world. This representsa humanized treatment and promotes dignity of the human person
Urban sidewalks, dysfunction and chaos on the projected floor. The search for accessible pavements and sustainable mobility

Published: September 2021

The pavements of the sidewalks are not simple roofs for the floor of cities. The correct specification and application of the materials not only guarantees the accessibility of this space, but also favors and enhances the urban mobility of pedestrians, the walkability, much defended by several professionals of urbanism. Have you stopped to observe the city we live in? The streets, the sidewalks and all of your public areas? Note the immense "invasion" of public space, making life on sidewalkssomething stimulating and interesting, by the enormous confusion implanted: kiosks, street vendors / street vendors, cars parked in a forbidden place and sometimes on the sidewalks, barbecues, holes, steps, obstacles, furniture and urban equipment very poorly located,results of the complete dysfunction ofthis space. The problem observed reflects the current dismay of people and public authorities in relation to accessibility, mobility and safety of people, especially those with reduced mobility,disabled or not. That said, this work objectives tofind a floor of easy installation and low cost that meets the principles of universalaccessibility, urban aesthetics and enhances the mobility of people in the city with autonomy and security. Based on an observational and photographic study of the sidewalks of the Pelinca neighborhood, together with a technical survey of existing sidewalks,the information obtained will be compared with the guidelines contained in the accessibility and urban mobility legislation in force, whether at the municipal, state and federal levels. The data extracted in the evaluation of existing floors, will provide subsidies, for the identification of a new type of pavement, contributing to the Public Power in the elaborationof booklets for the implementation and or adoption of guiding measures for the construction and reformulation of sidewalks, in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes

Changes in urban planning resulting from the process of reviewing the cityplan for Campos dos Goytacazes-RJ were the object of this work. The objective of this research was to verify changes in land use legislation due to the revision of the 2008cityplan considering Araújo's proposal (2018), especially for the macro road system and for green areas in urban areas. In the methodological process, bibliographic and documentary data such as laws and maps were collected, an updated bibliographic review was carried out, and comparisons of maps and laws were made. It is noteworthy that due to the social distance caused by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, the research was carried out remotely using the Google Classroom/Meet platform. The results indicated that the new urban legislation significantly expanded the macro road system and the green areas of preservation in the municipal urban area, in line with Araújo's proposal, with emphasis on the creation of the environmental protection road, which will enable the population's access to the green conservation areas that have been disorderly occupied over time. It was concluded that the revision of the Campos dos Goytacazescityplan allowed for quantitative and qualitative changes in the macro road system and in the city's green area system in a positive way.

Aim. To determine the frequency of celiac disease (CD) among gastroenterological patients and criteria for its active detection.
Materials and methods. 1.358 patients referred for gastroenterologist consultation from 2016 to 2019 was conducted, of which 140 had CD (339 males 24.9%; 1019 females 75.1%). The average age was 40.415.4 (1886 years). All patients were determined anti-TTG IgA, IgG, and analyzed the clinical symptoms and analysis. The results were subjected to statistical processing Statistica 13.3 (StatSoft Inc., USA).
Results. In patients without CD (1218 people), high level of anti-TTG IgA and IgG was observed in 59 (4.8%), an increase in anti-TTG IgA in 54 (4.4%), and anti-TTG IgG in 38 patients (3.1%). The CD diagnosis confirmed in 51 patients (4.2%). The main symptoms were diarrhea (88%), abdominal pain (60.7%), bloating (73.8%), nausea (40.3%), weight loss (44.3%). Anemia was determined in 31.6%, serum iron 33%, hypoproteinemia 12.6%, hypoalbuminemia 12%, hypokalemia 5.48%, hypocalcemia 21.9%. An increase in the level of AST 14.5%, ALT 14.6%. Comparative analysis showed that in the group with newly detected CD, anemia, malabsorption syndrome, increase AST, ALT were significantly more frequent than in patients with normal antibodies, which confirms the need to detect CD among patients with these laboratory abnormalities.
Conclusion. The incidence of CD among patients with a gastroenterological symptoms was 4.2%. Analysis of clinical and laboratory data has shown that a comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms and laboratory indicators at the stage of primary treatment will allow timely identification of CD patients and prescribe GFD.

Relevance. Medicinal products of plant origin have long been successfully used in the treatment of various diseases, including those of viral etiology. Nevertheless, their effect on the replication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) has not been studied so far. Objective. To evaluate the potential of drugs based on validated plant extracts – RE (Bronchipret, Bronchipret TP, Tonsilgon N, Sinupret extract, Tonsipret) with respect to their ability to suppress SARS-CoV-2 replication in vitro. Materials and methods. Vero cells (Vero) incubated with RE of different concentrations were infected with SARS-CoV-2 virus. After 48 h the virus replication (the number of viral RNA copies in cell culture supernatant) was determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results. SARS-CoV-2 RNA copy number under the action of non-cytotoxic concentrations of Bronchipret TP decreased by 1000 times and by 10 times under the action of drugs Tonsilgon N and Tonsipret. Conclusion. Some of the studied REs in vitro demonstrated promising antiviral activity. It is advisable to conduct further, including clinical, studies of their activity against SARS-CoV-2 in the treatment of coronavirus infection (COronaVirus Disease 2019 – COVID-19).
