Ein aus Frankreich importierter englischer Sport
Authors: Popa Bogdan
Published: July 2020

Der vorliegende Beitrag untersucht die Entstehung des Rugby in Rumänien als eine auf Bukarest beschränkte Sportdisziplin der sozialen Elite. Während der elitäre Charakter auf die jeweilige soziale Herkunft der Spieler zurückzuführen ist, stellt die fehlende Verbreitung des Sports über die Hauptstadt hinaus eines seiner strukturellen Probleme dar. Das Interessanteste am rumänischen Rugby ist jedoch die rein französische Herkunft, die bereits in den Jahrzehnten kommunistischer Vorherrschaft öffentlich bekannt war. Diese beiden charakteristischen Merkmale (französische Wurzeln und elitärer Status) können hervorragend anhand der Teilnahme an zwei großen internationalen Turnieren, den Interalliierten Spielen 1919 sowie den Olympischen Spielen 1924, die beide in Paris ausgetragen wurden, untersucht werden.

Sur la signification sociale et culturelle d'un sport aussi latin
Authors: Conord Fabien , Lehnert Joris
Published: July 2020

Cette introduction vise à donner un aperçu général sur le rugby, son évolution (voire révolution) depuis une vingtaine d’année et ses enjeux actuels, car ce sport est un objet peu connu de la recherche en langue allemande. En contrepoint de l’idée que le rugby serait un sport à tradition presqu’exclusivement britannique, nous nous y intéressons donc avec un point de vue centré sur les pays de langues latines. En partant de l’exemple français et de sa culture rugbystique très forte, nous nous interrogeons sur une éventuelle culture ou identité propre au rugby latin. En effet, le rugby est également plus ou moins ancré dans un certain nombre de ces pays et, historiquement, la plus grande partie des nations qui ont pu représenter une concurrence (plus ou moins forte) aux nations britanniques ou du Pacifique ont toutes le même point commun : d’être justement de culture latine.

Literatur + Gewalt
Authors: Groß Angelika
Published: July 2020

Seit den 1990er Jahren wird die Grenzregion zwischen Mexiko und den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika – insbesondere Ciudad Juárez – von Hunderten von Feminiziden erschüttert. Es handelt sich um Morde an Mädchen und Frauen, deren geschändete und verstümmelte Körper später in der Wüste in der Umgebung der Stadt oder auf Müllhalden wiederauftauchen, während die Täter ungestraft davonkommen. Diese Leichname sind nicht nur Ausdruck verschiedener Arten von Gewalt, sondern verweisen auch auf bestimmte soziale und kulturelle Strukturen, die zu den beschriebenen Morden führen, auf Korruption oder auch auf (postkoloniale) hierarchische Machtstrukturen. In den letzten Jahren haben die Medien den Feminiziden in der Grenzregion immer mehr Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet, sowohl von nationaler, als auch von internationaler Warte. Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert die literarische Darstellung der Feminizide im Roman 2666 (2004) von Roberto Bolaño und möchte Perspektiven und Möglichkeiten einer solchen literarischen Darstellung von Gewalt beleuchten.

Von kleinen Gespenstern, Gurkenkönigen und Konservenkindern
Authors: Neis Cordula
Published: July 2020

Die Übersetzung von Kinder- und Jugendliteratur eröffnet ein breites Spektrum an Herausforderungen: Da das Verhältnis zwischen dem Autor und seinem jungen Zielpublikum in kognitiver, sprachlicher und entwicklungspsychologischer Hinsicht asymmetrisch ist, muss der Übersetzer anstreben, dieses Gefälle durch verschiedene Strategien auszugleichen. Prinzipiell stehen dem Übersetzer hierfür zwei Lösungswege offen: die einbürgernde Übersetzung einerseits und die verfremdende Übersetzung andererseits. Übersetzer für Kinder- und Jugendliteratur greifen häufig auf die einbürgernde Übersetzung zurück, da diese es ermöglicht, die Alterität des Ausgangstexts zu reduzieren und die Verständlichkeit der Übersetzung sicherzustellen. Die Verwendung von verschiedenen Registern, Dialekten, Fachjargons, Jugendsprache oder Phantasiesprachen stellt eine weitere Hürde dar, die der Übersetzer überwinden muss. Nicht zu vernachlässigen sind zudem die Herausforderungen, die sich aus der Verwendung fingierter Mündlichkeit ergeben: Diese Erzählstrategie wird bewusst eingesetzt, um dem Text Eindringlichkeit und Lokalkolorit zu verleihen. Im vorliegenden Beitrag sollen die oben beschriebenen Schwierigkeiten anhand von Übersetzungen einiger Kinderbücher von Otfried Preußler (Das kleine Gespenst) und Christine Nöstlinger (Konrad oder Das Kind aus der Konservenbüchse; Wir pfeifen auf den Gurkenkönig) in die romanischen Sprachen analysiert werden.

The in-betweens
Authors: Kaufmann E.N.
Published: July 2020

My feelings are mixed when it comes to in-betweens. Some seem quite positive, others less so but necessary, and still others downright bad. They are bad when they seem to be cop-outs, a lack of decisiveness, or an abundance of expediency that reeks of timidity, preventing bold steps required by a situation—at least the bold steps that I think are required. Not to say that compromise in human affairs should not be pursued, at least when a good bargain is better than none at all. Fortunately, few situations offer stark choices between pure good and unadulterated evil, exceedingly rich and desperately poor, or between life and death. Not all choices, even tough choices, rise to the level of Chamberlain-like ignominious appeasements that fall somewhere in-between the extremes of peace and war. Everyday life presents us with much less fraught extremes to bracket our options.

Pendidikan Anak Perspektif Sufistik Dalam Pandangan Ibnu Qayyim Al-Jauziyah
Authors: Islami Anggi Anggraeni , Rosyad Rifki
Published: July 2020

Pendidikan yang diterima anak sejak masa pertumbuhan dari orangtuanya akan sangat berpengaruh terhadap kualitas akhlak yang akan dimilikinya. Pendidikan pertama berawal dari lingkungan keluarga. Oleh karena itu, perhatian orangtua sangatlah penting sebagai bentuk tanggungjawabnya dalam memberikan pendidikan, terutama terkait pendidikan keimanan dan akhlak. ‘Lembaga’ untuk mempertahankan dan membentuk insan yang berakhlakul karimah adalah keluarga. Strategi untuk menjadikan keluarga tetap dapat menjaga ketahanan akhlak mulia di kalangan para sufi khususnya pendidikan anak juga mendapatkan perhatian besar. Salah satu di antara tokoh sufi kontemporer, seorang ulama besar sekaligus reformis pemikir Islam yaitu Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyah yang sangat memerhatikan pendidikan anak baik pada masa prenatal (sejak dalam kandungan) maupun pada masa postnatal (pasca dilahirkan). Tulisan ini berusaha menjawab pertanyaan bagaimana metode sufistik Ibn Qayyim Al-Jauziyah dalam mendidik anak. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah content analysis terhadap karya-karya Ibn Qayyim khususnya dalam kitab Tuhfatul Maudud bi Ahkam Al-Mulud.
Tinjauan Kritis Neurosains Terhadap Konsep Qalb Menurut Al-Ghazali
Authors: Nasruddin Muhammad , Muiz Abdul
Published: July 2020

The human body was created very special by God. inside there is a special body part in the form of the brain, and neuroscience is the science that discusses in full the brain from various scientific disciplines. In the study of Islam, qalb is the most important part in the good and bad quality of human faith which is studied in depth in Sufism to the purity of the soul. And Imam Al-Ghazali became one of the Sufi figures who explained in detail about the Qalb. That neuroscience views qalb in Islam as part of the human brain, on the functional basis between the brain and qalb both receive information, spiritual intelligence / qalbiah, spiritual, controlling / coordinating center of the body, and emotional. The brain and qalb, according to Al-Ghazali, both have similarities in the four elements namely controlling the body, knowledge, emotions, and spirituality. And the difference between the two, namely the two different dimensions between the scientific and divine dimensions, so the benchmarks of truth are very different.
Abnormal symptoms in micropropagation and strategies to overcome
Authors: My Ngan Ha Thi , Thanh Tung Hoang , Van Le Bui , Tan Nhut Duong
Published: July 2020

Nowaday, plant cell, tissue and organ culture has become a standard and popular propagation method for many crops including ornamental plants, medicinal plants, fruit trees and green vegetables. The advantage of this method is that it can generate a huge number of genetically identical seedlings, effectively control the pathogenicity in order to produce disease-free plants, become a tool for conservation and development of genetic sources and support study of physiological characteristics of plants. However, this method still has some limitations such as abnormal physiological morphology and anatomical structure; necrosis and deformities plants; stomata loss of function, etc. These abnormalities have great impacts on shoot multiplication as well as the growth and development of the plants after transplanted from the culture vessels to the nursery stage. The components of in vitro culture conditions such as culture system, composition and content of nutrients, plant growth regulators used in the culture medium, light, temperature and humidity, age and origin of explants, etc., are the main causes of the abnormalities. Therefore, optimization of culture system to improve the quality of seedlings has always been one of the main targets of commercial micropropagation. In this review, we focused on some frequently abnormal symptoms in micro - propagation such as vitrification, yellowing and abscission of leaves; microbial contamination; necrosis of shoot-tip, roots and tissues culture; browning of explants and medium culture and other restrictions. More over, this report showed some the effective solutions to overcome these abnormal phenomena.
Study on the association SLC2A9 RS12510549 with uric acid and gout in Vietnamese population
Authors: Minh Thang Nguyen Tran , Doan Tinh Nguyen , Van Hai Nong , Thuy Duong Nguyen
Published: July 2020

Gout is the most common form of arthritis in Vietnam and around the world, caused by an excess of blood uric acid levels. The occurrence of gout is influenced by many risk factors such as diet, living and genetic factors. Studies showed gout is associated with polymorphisms located on genes that encode transport protein channels, including SLC2A9 rs12510549. To evaluate the association of polymorphism SLC2A9 rs12510549 to uric acid levels and gout in the Vietnamese population, we genotyped rs12510549 of 519 subjects (168 gout patients and 351 healthy people) by the PCR–RFLP method. The relationship between genotype distribution, the allele frequency of polymorphism with uric acid levels and gout was assessed through statistical methods. The results show that SLC2A9rs12510549 was in accordance with HWE (p> 0.05) and the genotype frequencies of TT, TC and CC were 0.73, 0.25 and 0.02, respectively, confirming the randomness and representation of the study population. The genotype distribution and frequency of the rs12510549 allele were determined unrelated to uric acid levels and gout in the Vietnamese population (p>0.05). Further study with a larger sample size should be implemented to confirm our results on the association of SLC2A9rs12510549 and gout in the Vietnamese population.
Construction of CRISPR/Cas9 expression vectors habouring gRNA targeted on SLIAA9 gene of tomato
Authors: Manh Minh Bui , Hong Hanh Ha , Thu Hien Le Thi , Thu Hue Huynh Thi
Published: July 2020

Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a nutritious fruit containing many secondary compounds with health benefits. The formation of tomato fruit through fertilization is controlled by auxin through Aux/IAA9 and ARF8 proteins. The mutated SlIAA9 gene leads to the parthenocarpic development of fruit or seedless tomato fruit. Nowadays, the CRISPR/Cas9 genome editing system is becoming increasingly popular in modifying desired genes on plant objects. In this study, gRNAs which target on tomato SlIAA9 gene were designed and inserted into CRISPR/Cas9 vectors. In addition, two strains of A. tumefaciens harboring pRGEB31-IAA9G2 and pRGEB32-IAA9G2 vectors carrying CRISPR/Cas9 expression system towards SlIAA9 gene in tomato were successfully created. The strain of A. tumefaciens harboring pRGEB31- IAA9G2 plasmid was used to develop transgenic tomato plants from Micro-Tom variety. PCR test showed that 5/14 plants had the presence of Cas9 gene in T0 plants. The transgenic plants have a normal morphology in comparation with the controls. The evaluation of mutant efficiency, type, and stability of mutations on the SlIAA9 will be conducted on next-generation plants when the mutations are stable and segregated into descendents.

CANNING FOOD IN SEMI-RIGID POLYMERIC AND COMPOSITE CONTAINERS
Authors: Verkhivker Ya , Miroshnychenko Ye
Published: July 2020

For thermal preservation of food, various types of retail polymeric packaging can be used: rigid, semi-rigid, flexible, and other kinds of containers. To make polymeric (plastic) containers usable for thermal sterilisation, and to ensure long storage of food, they should have a barrier layer that will make them heat-resistant, prevent oxygen ingress, and preserve the product’s quality and nutritive value. Every polymer material has its individual heat resistance characteristics. This paper considers such retail containers for food packaging as a composite can made of metal with a plastic lid and a semi-rigid heat-resistant polymer container with a foil cover. When using different container types for heat sterilisation and prevention of physical defects in cans, the following technological characteristics of cans should be taken into account: closure strength, depressurisation pressure, method of closure, diameter of a container’s opening, absence or presence of a stiffness relief on the cover, temperature of packaging, and other factors. The research includes analysis of existing types of retail composite and polymeric containers for canning food using different heat sterilisation methods. The theoretical and experimental research conducted has resulted in obtaining the values of the closure strength of the containers, an important parameter without which proper heat sterilisation of a product would be impossible. Developing scientifically proved parameters and modes of high-temperature sterilisation of meat and fish products in semi-rigid heat-resistant composite metal-plastic containers will allow enterprises to manufacture high-quality and safe canned food with high nutritive value.
RESEARCH OF THE BACTERICIDAL PROPERTIES AND TOXICITY OF COMPOSITIONS FOR STONE FRUIT PRESERVATION
Authors: Dubinina A. , Letuta T. , Novikova V.
Published: July 2020

Damage of stone fruit during storage begins with the development of mycelial fungi on their surface that destroy the shell of a fruit and its anatomical integrity. Therefore, developing new tools for processing stone fruits on the basis of components harmless to people is a topical task of the modern agricultural, phytochemical, and biological industries. Nine compositions from extracts of medicinal plants and 2% of chitosan have been developed. The raw materials used to obtain extracts were: aloe leaves, camomile inflorescences, spruce bark (in the ratios 4:3:2, 5:4:3, 3:1:2, samples 1, 2, 3, respectively); eucalyptus leaves, basil herbs, thyme herbs (in the ratios 1:2:1, 2:4:3, 2:5:2, samples 4, 5, 6, respectively); lemon balm leaves, sage leaves, verbena grass (in the ratios 3:2:1, 4:3:2, 3:1:1, samples 7, 8, 9, respectively). All the compositions have been tested for fungicidal properties against Monilinia laxa and for antimicrobial activity by the sanitary-bacteriological method, and for toxicity by bacteriological methods (the method of direct inoculation on blood agar and the method of diffusion into agar). In all the samples studied, inhibited growth of the culture of the agent causing stone fruit moniliosis has been detected. All nine compositions have revealed antimicrobial action against Bacillus cereus ATCC 107-02, Escherichia coli ATCC-25922, and Candida albicans ATCC-885-653, with the best results in samples 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9. In the study of toxicity by direct inoculation on blood agar, samples 1, 2, 6 caused hemolysis of erythrocytes only in the area of application of the sample. Other samples did not show hemolytic activity. The study has shown that samples 3, 4, 9 are safe for humans, they demonstrate fungicidal properties and antimicrobial action against pathogens of stone fruits, which makes it possible to use them as components of chitosan-based film-forming compositions during storage.
PLANT-BASED MILK ANALOGUES IN THE NUTRITION OF PEOPLE WITH NUTRITION-DEPENDENT NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES
Authors: Pritulska N. , Motuzka I. , Koshelnyk A. , Jarossová M. , Lacková A.
Published: July 2020

A recent tendency in Ukraine is the changes in the structure of food consumption, which are caused by the reduced consumption of some product groups and by their decreasing quality. A persisting problem is that affordable and easy-to-consume food products made with due consideration of the needs of patients with certain categories of diseases can hardly be found on the domestic market. The products present on the domestic market are all imported, available in a limited assortment, very expensive, and not customised to suit all the specific needs of human metabolism. Approaches to the nutrition of patients with certain types of nutrition-dependent and non-infectious diseases have been analysed. It has been established that аn effective component in the diet of patients with non-infectious diseases can be plant-based milk analogues. It has been determined how important it is to use domestic raw materials: it will contribute to expanding domestic production, will help the gross domestic product growth, and will reduce the product’s costs, thus reducing the costs of diagnostic and treatment procedures. It has been established that the assortment of plant-based milk analogues is constantly expanding. The vegetable raw material conventionally used to make this product group has been analysed. It has been shown that fenugreek seeds can be most effectively used to make special food products (in particular, plant-based milk analogues) for the nutritional support of patients with non-infectious diseases. This is feasible due to the availability of the raw material, simple cultivating conditions, the chemical composition of the product (e. g. a wide range of biologically active substances), low costs of the product when it is made from domestic raw materials, and the simple production technology. It is expected that manufacture of milk analogues from fenugreek seeds will widen the assortment of this product group, and satisfy the target consumers’ needs of safe and high quality products that offer an alternative to imports.

In this time of climate change, many young children dream about finding ways to save the planet. The curriculum teaches about the problems – and about the small changes that can be made to slow down global warming. But children need more skills for the jobs of the future and to
be taught how to bring their amazing ideas to life.
The Need for Civil Disobedience and Radical Change in Education
Authors: Jones Tim
Published: July 2020

This article argues that it is necessary to fight for a radical and immediate restructuring of our educational systems. Young people are currently being prepared for a future that does not exist, and we are lying to them and to ourselves by pretending that we can address the climate
and ecological emergency from within existing educational and political paradigms. The author's argument that direct action and civil disobedience are essential in achieving the change that is needed might sound extreme to some people. But the consequences of inaction are far more extreme.
We are taught – constantly and not only in schools – that breaking the rules is wrong. But if following the rules means conforming with collective behaviours that are rapidly destroying the living planet and our chances of continued life on it, then we must quickly learn to constructively
disobey. Radical change for a more humane educational system is needed for its own sake, but, in the current emergency, this need for change is not only necessary but also urgent.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the predictive dimensions of clinical-functional conditions and the cognitive capacity of elderly people living at home. Method: Cross-sectional, population-based, analytical, quantitative study was utilized. For data collection, an instrument with sociodemographic and behavioral variables, the Functional Clinical Vulnerability Index; and, to assess cognition, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used. Descriptive analyzes and statistical tests were conducted. Results: 305 elderly subjects, living at home, in urban and rural areas participated in the study. They were classified as robust (71.8%), pre-frail (22%) and frail (6.2%). As for cognition, 24.9% of them had cognitive impairment. It was shown that cognitive impairment predicts the development of functional disability. Conclusion: It is considered that health professionals should both act in order to maintain the functional and cognitive conditions of the robust and pre-frail elderly people and pay attention to the rehabilitation of the disabilities installed in those elderly people who are in a situation of frailty.

Authors: Leveau Carlos Marcelo
Published: July 2020

Resumen Introducción Las muertes por lesiones de tránsito son la principal causa de muerte por lesiones en la población de 5-64 años en Argentina. Objetivo Describir las variaciones espaciales del riesgo de mortalidad de diferentes tipos de usuarios de vías de tránsito y analizar factores de área asociados con el riesgo de mortalidad en Argentina durante los períodos 1999-2003 y 2008-2012. Método Se realizó un estudio ecológico espacial utilizando los departamentos/partidos como unidades de análisis. Se consideraron las muertes de peatones, usuarios de bicicleta, motocicleta y automóvil y usuarios no especificados de vías de tránsito. Como variables independientes se seleccionaron variables sociodemográficas y variables de patentamiento automotor. Resultados El riesgo de mortalidad de los usuarios de vías de tránsito se concentró espacialmente durante los dos períodos en Argentina. El nivel socioeconómico bajo a nivel departamental estuvo relacionado a un riesgo alto de mortalidad en peatones y usuarios de bicicleta. En áreas con mayor patentamiento de nuevos automóviles se observó un mayor riesgo de mortalidad en usuarios de bicicletas durante 1999-2003. Conclusión Las grandes disparidades en la distribución geográfica del riesgo de mortalidad de diferentes usuarios de vías de tránsito indican la adopción de políticas regionales de seguridad vial diferenciales en Argentina.

Published: July 2020

Resumo: As discussões sobre as mudanças necessárias nos livros já são há muito conhecidas. Contudo, essa mudança não pode ser feita de uma hora para outra; é preciso que, aos poucos, novos materiais auxiliares sejam produzidos para ajudar nesse processo de transição entre modelos de livros. Em vista disso, construímos uma Unidade Didática Temática Contextualizada, que visa auxiliar o professor no ensino de Interações Intermoleculares a partir do processo de percepção do sabor doce. O presente artigo analisa os resultados da aplicação dessa unidade em uma disciplina de química para a graduação. Os resultados mostram que os alunos não só aprenderam os conceitos químicos, mas que utilizaram o fenômeno do sabor doce para explicá-los. Além disso, os alunos aprenderam algumas características da ligação hidrogênio, comumente ignorada nos livros didáticos. Concluímos que a contextualização realmente ocorreu e atuou como uma abordagem efetiva no processo de ensino-aprendizagem.

Published: July 2020

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the chemical attributes of the soil cultivated with ‘Gigante’ cactus pear under different doses of organic fertilizer, planting spacings and sampling times. Four doses of organic fertilizer with bovine manure (0, 30, 60 and 90 Mg ha-1 year-1), three spacings (1.0 x 0.5, 2.0 x 0.25 and 3.0 x 1.0 x 0.25 m) and three sampling times (0, 390 and 600 days after planting) corresponding to the periods prior to planting, growth and harvest of the first cycle, were evaluated in a randomized block design in a 4 x 3 x 3 factorial scheme, with three repetitions. The pH in water, macronutrients (P, K, Ca, Mg), micronutrients (B, Cu, Fe, Mn, Zn), variables of the soil sorption complex (H + Al, SB, CEC, T, V) and soil organic matter (SOM) were determined. Organic fertilization increased the values of SOM, P, K, Ca, Mg, SB, CEC, T and V and reduced H + Al in soils cultivated with ‘Gigante’ cactus pear at different times. The doses of manure increased pH and Mn, regardless of sampling time and spacing. The spacings did not influence the chemical attributes of the soil.

ABSTRACT Water deficits can alter vital physiological functions and negatively affect plant growth. These effects can be intensified by weeds competing for water available to crops. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of competition and temporary soil water deficit on the transpiration (E), stomatal conductance (gs) and photosynthetic rate (A) of corn, Urochloa decumbens, and Bidens pilosa L. The experimental design was in randomized blocks with eight repetitions. The treatments were arranged in a 5 x 2 factorial scheme, with the first factor corresponding to the species: corn + U. decumbens, corn + B. pilosa, and corn, U. decumbens, and B. pilosa without competition. The second factor was two water regimes: daily irrigation and water restriction, which corresponded to the suspension of irrigation from the beginning of the V3 stage of corn until the time when their stomata were completely closed. The species B. pilosa and U. decumbens worsened the negative effects on E, gs, and A of corn at different intensities under water restriction. The U. decumbens was more aggressive in relation to B. pilosa while coexisting with corn in both water regimes. The competition with corn affected the E and gs of U. decumbens in the two water regimes, but the A was altered under water deficit. On the other hand, the physiological components of B. pilosa were not affected by its coexistence with corn in the two water regimes.

Published: July 2020

Abstract The practice of physical activity has been considered as an important factor in the area of public health, as it helps in the prevention and treatment of various diseases. Thus, understanding the facilitators for participation and benefits from healthy lifestyle can contribute to population awareness. The aim of this study was to analyze facilitators for body practice and benefits perceived by participants of body practice groups of two basic family health units of Santa Rosa/RS. This qualitative research included 25 participants. Data were obtained by the focal group technique. Motivation/incentive, mainly linked to family support, the pedagogical practice of the Physical Education professional, good health status and social life were aspects considered facilitators for adherence to body practice groups. Physical and psychological gains, prevention and control of diseases, lifestyle changes, cognitive improvement and decreased use of medications were pointed as benefits. Motivating participants to participate in body practice programs is an important factor for adherence and participation in these activities can provide biopsychosocial benefits that can contribute to health promotion and quality of life of users of basic family health units.

Abstract To evaluate functional capacity, mobility and balance in elderly patients with Alzheimer's Disease (AD), in its mild, moderate and severe forms, verifying the existence of correlation among these parameters. Eighty-eight elderly patients (81.79 ± 6.54 years) diagnosed with AD treated at an elderly care reference center in Taguatinga-DF were selected, and information was collected between November 2018 and March 2019. Data collection was initially made by filling in the evaluation form. Subsequently, two questionnaires were administered to caregivers (Clinical Dementia Rating-CDR and Disability Assessment for Dementia -DAD) and two tests to demented patients (Southampton Assessment of Mobility-SAM-Br and Timed Up and Go-TUG). Variables were correlated using the SPSS software version 22 using Pearson's correlation, with significance level p?0.05. The following results were obtained: 1. weak correlations between CDR and DAD (p = 0.04; r = -0.31) with significant difference; 2. strong correlation and significant difference between CDR and TUG (p = 0.02; r = 0.87); 3. weak and non-significant correlation between CDR and SAM-Br (p = 0.14; r = -0.24); 4. significant difference and highly strong correlation between SAM-Br and TUG (p = 0.01; r = 0.70). Older adults with Alzheimer's disease present decreased functional capacity, mobility and risk of falls associated with the disease progression. SAM-Br and TUG tools showed strong correlation and, although it is a generic measure, TUG showed strong correlation with AD progression, and may be a predictive test for the risk of falls in this population.

Abstract Despite the increase in the number of Ironman competitions worldwide, thousands of athletes have been joining Ironman experience but only a few studies have been published on the effects of this competition on postural control. This study aims to investigate the ability to maintain a static posture in three different positions before and after an Ironman competition and the blood glucose level behavior. Forty-nine volunteers underwent balance evaluation using the force plate VSRTM Sport. The area of the center of gravity (ACOG) was assessed pre- and post-competition in the bipodal, unipodal, and tandem postures. Glucose levels were also assessed concurrently. The ACOG findings showed a significant post-competition increase in the three postures assessed, with no significant interaction between the postures. The glucose test showed an increase in the post-competition glycemic levels. The findings showed reduced postural control, suggesting that prolonged exercise stimulation could lead to a disturbance in postural control.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the association between social support, adherence to HIV anti-retroviral therapy, and clinical and sociodemographic factors. Method: A cross-sectional study conducted from July 2016 to August 2018 in a specialized outpatient clinic in southern Brazil. Individual interviews were conducted for the application of the following instruments: Questionnaire for the Evaluation of Adherence to Anti-retroviral Treatment (CEAT-HIV) and Social Support Scale for People Living with HIV/AIDS. The Spearman bivariate correlation test was used for analysis purposes. Results: Among the 168 participants, the mean social support score was 3.53 points (SD = 0.66), and 64.9% (n = 109) of the respondents had insufficient adherence. There was a significant association (p < 0.05) between emotional social support and the following adherence domains: antecedents of non-adherence behaviors and doctor-patient communication. Conclusions: Social support is associated with antecedents of non-adherence behaviors and doctor-patient communication.

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the view of nurses from the Family Health Strategy on the health care of rural populations. Method: A qualitative and exploratory research conducted with eleven nurses working in rural areas, conducted from January to March 2017, in Campina Grande-PB. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed by the Content Analysis technique. Results: Nurses associate the health context of the rural population with the living conditions of the community, with the lack of access to health services, and with the peculiarities of work resulting from this context. The satisfaction of rural PHC nurses is associated with professional identification and bond with the population. Conclusions: Nurses perceive the particularities that involve the rural context requiring differentiated health care that positively impacts their work.

Authors: Domingo José Manuel Rodríguez
Published: July 2020

Resumen El llamado Castelo Mourisco constituye un modelo exacto de la función elevada que corresponde a la arquitectura. Más interesante todavía cuando se trata de la sede de un instituto de ciencias biomédicas de prestigio mundial, cuyo cuidado diseño evidencia el compromiso humanista de Oswaldo Cruz, su impulsor. Solo gracias a la impecable alianza entre promotor y proyectista pueden lograrse realizaciones arquitectónicas como ésta, donde se traspasan los límites constructivos hasta simbolizar la fusión de ciencia, historia y arte. El análisis de los variados recursos estilísticos utilizados en el edificio justifica su elección y vigencia, pues desde hace un siglo no solo ocupa el corazón del campus de Manguinhos, sino que también actualiza el espíritu de la institución que alberga.
