Published: February 2020

The International Younger Chemists Network (IYCN) began as a task force at the 2015 ACS National Meeting in Boston between a group of young chemists from the USA, Africa, Southeast Asia, and Europe. The ultimate goal was to create a unified international network for younger chemists to connect and share ideas. Successful efforts led to the official launch of IYCN as an associated organization of IUPAC at the 46th World Chemistry Congress (IUPAC2017) held in Brazil.
Im Mittelfeld der Europapolitik: Zivilgesellschaft, Lobbyismus und Partizipative Demokratie im Mehrebenensystem der EU
Authors: Hüttemann Bernd , Sandmann Elena
Published: February 2020

Der Beitrag beleuchtet den Zusammenhang zwischen politischer Einflussnahme von Interessengruppen im EU-Gesetzgebungsprozess und pluralistischer Demokratie im europäischen Mehrebenensystem. Dabei geht er kritisch der Frage nach, ob (zivil-) gesellschaftliche Interessenvertretung analytisch vom (Wirtschafts-)Lobbyismus unterschieden werden sollte. Zentrale These ist, dass Interessenvertretung nur im Kontext größerer Transparenz aller beteiligten gesellschaftlichen, wirtschaftlichen, staatlichen, gesetzgeberischen und mittelbaren Akteure zu mehr Demokratie und Legitimation im Mehrebenensystem der EU beitragen kann.
Cases of Secession Since 1900 and Their Governing Constitutional Frameworks Towards Secession — Empirical Paper Series on Secession and Constitutionalism, Part 2 of 2
Authors: Beauséjour Anthony
Published: February 2020

Split into two articles, the Empirical Paper Series on Secession and Constitutionalism explores the relationship between constitutionalism and secession. The first paper of this series examined the relationship between, on the one hand, the constitutional prohibition and legalisation of secession – ie indivisibility and secession clauses – and, on the other hand, the prevalence of secessionist movements. This second article addresses the very heart of the doctrinal debate between the Indivisibilist and Secessionist schools, namely the relationship between a constitution’s framework towards secession and the actual occurrence of secession.

Between 1900 and 2018, 24 subnational units seceded from a total of 16 central states. Of these 24 cases of secession, 25 % occurred in central states where secession was prohibited, 13 % in states whose constitution was silent on the issue, and 63 % in states whose constitution contained a right to secession, which indicates a very strong statistical relationship between secession clauses and the actual occurrence of secession.

Yet, a closer look into the history of these provisions suggests that the causal relationship between secession clauses and secession itself – if any – goes in a direction opposite to what one would assume. Indeed, not a single one of the 13 secession clauses identified in this paper series ever gave rise to a pro-independence movement. In the vast majority of cases, it is actually the pre-existence of secessionist groups that forced the constitutionalising of a right to secession, either downstream, to pacify a violent secessionist conflict, or upstream, to accommodate a region that set the constitutionalising of such a right as a precondition of its joining a new country that would otherwise not have existed in the first place. Liechtenstein is the only recorded example of a state that constitutionalised a right to secede without being faced with pre-existing secessionist tensions, and none has arisen since secession became legal in Liechtenstein.
Grid Cyber-Physical System Risk Management Model Based on Cooperative Game Theory
Authors: Li Cunbin , Liu Ding , Wang Yi , Liang Chunyan
Published: February 2020

Advanced grid technology represented by smart grid and energy internet is the core feature of the next-generation power grid. The next-generation power grid will be a large-scale cyber-physical system (CPS), which will have a higher level of risk management due to its flexibility in sensing and control. This paper explains the methods and results of a study on grid CPS’s behavior after risk. Firstly, a behavior model based on hybrid automata is built to simulate grid CPS’s risk decisions. Then, a GCPS risk transfer model based on cooperative game theory is built. The model allows decisions to ignore complex network structures. On this basis, a modified applicant-proposing algorithm to achieve risk optimum is proposed. The risk management model proposed in this paper can provide references for power generation and transmission decision after risk as well as risk aversion, an empirical study in north China verifies its validity.
A Comparative Study of Performances Between the WDM PON System and the CWDM PON System in an Optical Access Network
Authors: Kherici Cheikh , Kandouci Malika
Published: February 2020

The growth of optical technology is currently being studied extensively to meet the significant demand for bandwidth. The passive optical network (PON) solves the problem of bandwidth as it extends the optical network to individuals and businesses [Sifta R, Munster P, Krajsa O, Filka M, “Simulation of bidirectional traffic in WDM-PON networks", Brno University of Technology, ISSN 0033–2097, R. 90 NR 1/2014.]. In this paper, a comparative study is made between the WDM PON system and the CWDM PON system using two different architectures, one for the WDM PON and the other for the CWDM PON, to illustrate the appropriate technique for the PON network by increasing the Q factor and the OSNR ratio while minimizing the bit error rate (BER < 10–9
). Both systems are simulated at 10 Gbps for four users of bidirectional SMF (Single Mode Fiber) fiber lengths and different powers. In order to determine the transmission performance for both systems, the link was designed for fiber lengths of 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 km as well as for powers from −10 dBm up to 10 dBm for four users. The use of the EDFA amplifier in the WDM PON system is required in this document to minimize degradation caused by attenuation [Parkirti RDK, Singh R. Cost-efficient Colorless WDM-PON Based on RSOA for High Capacity. Int J Adv Res Comput Eng Technol (IJARCET). 2016;5]. On the contrary, in the CWDM PON system, the amplification is not essential because the wavelengths used in this system are not affected by the water peak which causes a strong attenuation of the wavelengths in the 1370–1410 nm range on optical fibers [Nazir M, Arshad F, Asif R. Design and evaluation of power budget for a bidirectional CWDM-Passive Optical Network. In: International Conference on Communication, Computing and Digital Systems (C-CODE), Islamabad, Pakistan, 04 May 2017.]. The peak of water vapor absorption is close to 1383 nm.

Background

Hereditary vitamin D-resistant rickets (HVDRR) is caused by vitamin D receptor (VDR) defects. Patients with HVDRR do not respond to standard doses of calcitriol and oral calcium (Ca) treatment and need to be treated with intravenous Ca (IV-Ca) via a central route. However, central catheter-related complications can cause significant morbidity.

Case presentation

Four unrelated patients with HVDRR presenting with rickets and alopecia totalis were administered intermittent IV-Ca treatment (2–5 times/week) through a peripheral route. No complications such as infection, extravasation or arrhythmias were detected upon peripheral infusion. Peripheral 1–22 months’ duration of IV-Ca normalized parathyroid hormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in all patients, after which, oral Ca of 200–400 mg/kg/day and calcitriol of 0.5 μg/kg/day were sufficient to maintain normal PTH levels. Molecular studies on the VDR gene showed a previously reported homozygous c.454C > T (p.Q152*) pathogenic variant in two patients. Two novel homozygous variants in the other two patients were detected: (1) c.756-2A > G, which affects the splice acceptor site, and (2) c.66dupG (p.I23Dfs*20) variant leading to a frameshift that results in a premature stop codon.

Conclusions

Peripheral IV-Ca treatment is an effective and practical alternative treatment mode that provides dramatic clinical benefit in patients with HVDRR.
Gefährlich sind immer die Anderen!
Authors: Hirtenlehner Helmut
Published: February 2020

Zahlreichen soziologischen Zeitdiagnosen zufolge markiert Unsicherheit ein Strukturmerkmal der Spätmoderne. Vermessungen der kollektiven Mentalität attestieren, dass inzwischen auch die breite Mitte der Gesellschaft zunehmend unter Ängsten vor Statusverlust und einem Abrutschen in Armut und Prekarität leidet. Das Gefühl, dass Werte und Wohlstand bedroht sind, ist heute nahezu endemisch. Dazu mag nicht zuletzt die durch die jüngsten Fluchtbewegungen hervorgebrachte Massenimmigration nach West- und Nordeuropa beigetragen haben. Hier interessieren insbesondere die Auswirkungen der Melange aus sozioökonomischem Unsicherheitsdruck und globaler Migrationskrise auf das kriminalitätsbezogene Sicherheitsempfinden der Bürger, namentlich ihre Angst vor Straftaten durch Personen, denen man aufgrund ihrer äußeren Erscheinung mühelos einen Migrationshintergrund zuschreiben kann. Die forschungsleitende These besagt, dass Abstiegsangst und Migrationspanik gepaart mit Symbolen lokaler Unordnung den Nährboden bilden, auf dem die Furcht vor »Ausländerkriminalität« gedeiht. Wo sozioökonomische Absturzbefürchtungen mit einem auf Fluchtzuwanderung gerichteten Unbehagen verschmelzen, kann dies in autochthonen Kreisen die Furcht vor Migrantenkriminalität in neue Höhen treiben – vor allem dann, wenn die Migrationsphobie in Gestalt gehäufter Unordnungsperzeptionen eine lokale Entsprechung findet. Eine Analyse von Befragungsdaten aus sechs österreichischen Städten stützt das unterbreitete Erklärungsangebot. Angst vor importierter Kriminalität gehört inzwischen zur kollektiven Erfahrung der Spätmoderne. Das Niveau der Furcht vor »Ausländerkriminalität« steht dabei in einem engen Zusammenhang mit der an massenhafte Zuwanderung von Geflüchteten geknüpften Beunruhigung, mit unordnungsbedingten Irritationen in der näheren Lebenswelt sowie mit einer subjektiv empfundenen materiell-ökonomisch gefärbten Statusunsicherheit.
Dostojewskis »Aufzeichnungen aus einem Totenhaus« aus kriminologischer und kriminalpolitischer Sicht
Authors: Kreuzer Arthur
Published: February 2020

Dostojewskis »Aufzeichnungen« beruhen auf eigenem, literarisch verarbeitetem Erleben von Haft in einem sibirischen Zwangsarbeitslager des zaristischen Russland. Sie gehören zur Gattung der »Haftmemoiren«. Unabhängig von ihrer literarischen Bedeutung sind sie wie manche Autobiografien ehemals Inhaftierter wichtige Quelle für wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse der Haftforschung. Sie geben authentisch Einblicke in Haftsubkulturen, Haftalltag und Wirkung der Haft auf Betroffene. Der damaligen Lage werden unser heutiges Rechtsverständnis und die neuere Strafvollzugsentwicklung gegenübergestellt. Kontinuität und Wandel werden vor allem nach folgenden Stichworten herausgearbeitet: Haftsubkultur, abolitionistische Tendenzen, Todesstrafe, Körperstrafen, Folter, Verbannung und Ausbürgerung, lebenslange Freiheitsstrafe, Grundrechtsstellung Inhaftierter, Instrumente der Haftvermeidung und Resozialisierung. Heutige Verhältnisse in »totalen Institutionen« entsprechen noch vielen im »Totenhaus« gemachten Beobachtungen. So lassen sich Subkulturen grundsätzlich nicht vermeiden. An Haftüberwindung oder – wo unvermeidbar – resozialisierender, Subkultur entgegenwirkender Gestaltung ist weiter zu arbeiten.
Low-dimensional saturable absorbers for ultrafast photonics in solid-state bulk lasers: status and prospects
Authors: Hao Qianqian , Wang Cong , Liu Wenxin , Liu Xiaoqin , Liu Jie , Zhang Han
Published: February 2020

Low-dimensional (LD) materials have originated a range of innovative applications in photonics and optoelectronics owning to their advantages of ultrafast carrier response and distinct nonlinear saturable absorption properties. In particular, these emerging LD materials including zero-, one-, and two-dimensional materials have recently been utilized for short and ultrashort pulse laser generation in the visible, near infrared, and mid-infrared wavelength regions. Here, we review recent progress demonstrating the application of LD materials as versatile, wideband saturable absorbers for Q-switching and mode-locking in all-solid-state lasers. The laser performance in operating wavelength, output power, pulse width, repetition rate, and pulse energy is reviewed. Finally, the challenges and future perspectives are suggested.

Translation as culture: The example of pictorial-verbal transposition in Sahagún’s primeros memoriales and codex florentino
Authors: Sonesson Göran
Published: February 2020

Many items of culture which are conveyed from one culture to another may take verbal form, and then constitute what Jakobson called “translation proper.” If such diffusions involve a co-occurrent change of semiotic systems, they are of such a different nature, that we better reserve another term for it: transposition. Whether or not accompanied by transpositions, such as pictures, translational events may play an important part in the encounter between cultures, not only in the negative sense of deformations as postulated by the Tartu school. Particularly, when such transpositions make up a massive occurrence, as was the assimilation of the Greek-Muslim heritage in Middle Age Europe, or the more extended process by means of which Europe took on of the experience of the so-called New World several centuries later, such processes may actually enrich the homeculture. In this paper, we will study the latter process, zeroing in on a single, if protracted, event, the creation of the work ascribed to Bernardino de Sahagún, which really involved the collaboration of many scholars, many of them bearers of Aztec culture, exclusively or in combination with Western culture. This case interests us in particular, also because it involved the transposition of pictures, not, in the sense, of Western pictures being substitued for single pre-Hispanic picture, but rather as a kind of semiotic means contributing in different ways to the process of constitution.

Published: February 2020

In this study, we present different silicon based integrated devices for photoelectrochemical water splitting, which provide enough photovoltage to drive the reaction without an external bias. Thin films of titanium dioxide, prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD), are applied as a surface passivation and corrosion protection. The interfaces between the multi-junction cells and the protective coating were optimized individually by etching techniques and finding optimal parameters for the ALD process. The energy band alignment of the systems was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Electrochemically deposited platinum particles were used to reduce the HER overpotential. The prepared systems were tested in a three-electrode arrangement under AM 1.5 illumination in 0.1 M KOH. In final tests the efficiency and stability of the prepared devices were tested in a two-electrode arrangement in dependence of the pH value with a ruthenium-iridium oxide counter electrode. For the tandem-junction device solar to hydrogen efficiencies (STH) up to 1.8% were reached, and the triple-junction device showed a maximum efficiency of 4.4%.

Published: February 2020

Background. The main objective of thissystematic review wasto identify the hemodynamic effects of intravenous sedatives used in dental implant surgeries. Methods. Embase, PubMed, ProQuest, Scopus, Ovid, and Cochrane databases were searched with no limitations. Of 59 studies obtained, 50 studies were excluded due to incompatibility with the subject. The remaining studies were reviewed in full text and assessed for the risk of bias individually. The included studies were reviewed by the research team, and the necessary data were extracted. Results. Four studies were finally included. Two of the studies compared local anesthesia and intravenous sedation, while the other two compared the consequences of different types of intravenous sedation. By comparing the hemodynamic effects, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and the heart rate data were collated. Midazolam was the most frequently used intravenous sedative, and Dexmedetomidine affected hemodynamics the most. Conclusion. Intravenous sedation leads to decreased heart rate and blood pressure. Better hemodynamic outcomes improve the patients’ cooperation by decreasing stress and anxiety. Dexmedetomidine seems to be the first choice for intravenous sedation.

Authors: Bodagh Haleh , Esfahani Zahra , Aslanabadi Naser , Amiri Bita , Heidari Sarvestani Ali
Published: February 2020

Introduction
: Allopurinol could decrease the undesirable effects of free radicals and then prevent contrast induced nephropathy (CIN). Therefore, it may be useful for reducing the ischemia-reperfusion induced nephropathy and inhibiting nitric oxide synthesis produced in CIN. This study was performed aimeing to determine the effect of allopurinol in the prevention of CIN in patients undergoing angioplasty. Methods: In this randomized clinical trial, 100 patients (50 cases as the intervention group receiving allopurinol 300 mg one day and one hour before angiography and 50 cases as the control group) were evaluated. CIN was considered if the serum creatinine (SCr) value was increased 25% in relation to its basic value. Additionally, the prevalence of CIN was evaluated. Results: The case and control groups had CIN 38% and 12%, respectively (P = 0.003). Hyperuricemia was significant indicator of higher CIN rate in the control group (37.5% versus 7.1%) (P = 0.044). Conclusion: Finally, the administration of allopurinol before procedure might prevent CIN following elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and decrease the rate of CIN.
High-Intensity, Non-Sport-Specific Strength and Conditioning for Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Athletes: Theoretical and Practical Considerations
Authors: Øvretveit Karsten
Published: February 2020

Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling-based combat sport with a growing recreational and professional athlete population. The sport is notoriously hard to master, which requires practitioners to maintain a high BJJ-specific training volume. High-intensity training is a well-established approach to rapid improvements in strength and endurance. Recent studies show that concomitant BJJ and high-intensity strength and conditioning training can improve several physical and physiological attributes. The present article briefly reviews literature pertaining to BJJ and its athletes and provides training recommendations based on high-intensity strength and conditioning concepts.

Authors: Laquai René , Müller Bernd Randolf , Kasperovich Galina , Requena Guillermo , Haubrich Jan , Bruno Giovanni
Published: February 2020

Porosity in additively manufactured materials, such as laser powder bed fusion Ti-Al6-V4, can play an important role in their mechanical performance. Not only the total porosity but also the shape/morphology of the individual pores need to be considered. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the distributions of different defect types (especially fusing defects and keyhole pores) and their dependence on process parameters. We show that synchrotron X-ray refraction radiography allows analysis of large samples (up to several millimeters) without compromising the detectability of submicrometer defects. Correspondingly, a classification tool is introduced that is able to quantitatively distinguish defects such as keyhole pores and binding defects with a confidence level of 94 %, even when the shape cannot be discerned because of limited spatial resolution.

AbstrakUU Nomor 7 Tahun 2017 Tentang Pemilu, memerintahkan penyelenggara pemilu menyelenggarakan teknis kepemiluan. Namun, UU No. 12 Tahun 2011 tentang Pembentukan Peraturan Perundang-undangan mengatakan, pembahasan dan penerbitan suatu aturan harus mengacu kepada konsep hirari peraturan perundang-undangan. Apabila aturan teknis penyelenggara pemilu melebihi kewenangan yang diatur dalam UU Pemilu. Maka akan muncul tabrakan norma yang berdampak kepada kerancuan norma. Oleh sebab itu, tulisan sederhana ini berusaha menjawab atas beberapa pertanyaan yang bisa berdampak kepada penyelenggaraan pemilu. Seperti, bagaimana KPU menerjemahkan UU dalam membahas, menerbitkan dan melaksanakan Peraturan KPU (PKPU)? Bagaimana cara KPU memahami hirarki peraturan perundang-undangan? Bagaimana cara meyelesaikan masalah dari tubrukan antara UU Pemilu dengan PKPU? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut, peneliti menggunakan studi kualitatif – naratif.

Rebound of Involuted Infantile Hemangioma After Administration of Salbutamol
Authors: Knöpfel Nicole , Oesch Valerie , Theiler Martin , Szello Patricia , Weibel Lisa
Published: February 2020

Since the discovery of propranolol in the treatment of infantile hemangioma (IH), there has been emergent investigation of β-adrenergic receptor (β-AR) signaling in IH and the mechanisms of action for which β-AR blockers regulate hemangioma cell proliferation. However, β-AR agonists and antagonists are known to act antithetically via the same intracellular β-AR–driven proangiogenic pathways. We present the case of a patient with involuted IH treated with propranolol that showed a full and rapid regrowth during the intravenous administration of salbutamol, a selective β2-adrenergic agonist, for an episode of severe obstructive bronchitis. This observation brings forward the clinical implication of β-signaling effects in IH and raises awareness of the potential proliferative response of IH to β-AR agonists such as salbutamol.
Science and business: problem of Ukrainian doctor’s choice in the life of the late 19th – early 20th century (the example of Y. Y. Trutovskiy)
Authors: V. A. Alkov
Published: February 2020

Scientists were interested in the interrelation of material and spiritual in human life since olden times. So, the correlation of science and business in the era of the Russian Empire’s capitalistic development is of great theoretical value. From this point of view the destiny of Kharkiv doctor and local businessman Y. Y. Trutovskiy appears to be of great interest for a researcher.

The article aims to understand what the main interests of the person studied were, analyse his scientific philosophy and accomplishments in the sphere of science and business, outline the main direction of Y. Y. Trutovskiy’s activity. His work as a doctorpsychiatrist, scientist, administrator, and entrepreneur are researched. Special attention is paid to science as sphere where he was talented but did not realise himself. From the point of view of the author, reasons for it are topical even in a contemporary society. Material problems of scientists and people at social service are outlined, low competitiveness of it in the comparison with private business profits is stressed.

Biographical approach is the leading one in this work. It permits to consider the personality of the doctor in complex, and in the historical context. For reconstruction of events and details of Y. Y. Trutovskiy’s life the microhistorical approach has been used as well as the way of dealing with analyzing the history of everyday life, i.e. “history from below”. The work is also based on historical and medical regional studies.

The author comes to the conclusion that Y. Y. Trutovskiy got started as a talented and perspective scientist in the spheres of physiology and neurology but finally chose to be a representative of the layer of successful medical private practitioners, who finally left science and concentrated on his own business, the private mental hospital. In this case, the author touches the problem of values and life choice which is topical for Ukrainian scientists, especially the young ones.

The material of the study can be useful for professional historians and doctors, comprising specialists in the history of science, health and medical history, regional historians who are interested in the problems of the history of everyday life, microhistory, biography, etc., as well as in the upbringing work with students at medical universities.

The present paper reports a new record of Giant devil ray Mobula mobular (Bonnaterre, 1788) from western Algerian waters that is encountered for the first time in that coast since its first description in 1901 and last observation in late 80’s. This elasmobranch is categorized as endangered on the IUCN Red List (Endangered A2d ver 3.1) and is likely to be the rarest of the nine species of Mobula genus. Occasionally it is captured in Mediterranean Sea by purse seines, bottom and pelagic trawls, pelagic nets, bottom longlines, drifters and harpoons. The specimen stranded in “la Madrague Beach” in Western Algerian coasts. Its disc length was measuring 108.96 cm and disc width was 226.02 cm. This Myliobatidae is rarely seen with daily landed fish at Oran fishery. Up to date no explicit reason can be given for the strand of M. mobular but ghost fishing and important maritime traffic stay the most plausible cause of this incident.

Bill Clinton, Republican Strategy, and the 1994 Elections: How Midterms Become Referenda on the President
Authors: King James D
Published: February 2020

The surprising 1994 midterm congressional election gave Republicans control of the House of Representatives for the first time in four decades and offers an opportunity to study the dynamics of a referendum on the president.  District-level contextual data on Republicans’ anti-Clinton campaign themes are used to demonstrate the dynamic of creating a presidential referendum in a midterm election.  Making President Clinton a focus of the campaign within the constituency decreased the probability of an individual voter casting a ballot for the Democratic congressional candidate, heightened the impact of Clinton’s popularity on individual vote choice; and decreased the aggregate vote percentages for the Democratic candidates.  It is unmistakable that highlighting the president’s job performance and his policies at the district level transformed the midterm congressional election into a presidential referendum.

ABSTRACT Objective: To verify the effectiveness of the group brief intervention (GBI), performed by nurses in motivational stages to change the pattern of alcohol intake. Method: Randomized controlled trial with 3-month follow-up. The ruler of readiness for change was applied in 180 individuals with risk or harmful alcohol intake pattern in basic health unit. Only the experimental group (EG) was submitted to the intervention. Both groups (experimental and control [CG]) participated in the follow-up. Results: EG had a mean score before GBI=6.55 (SD=3.41) points (preparation). After GBI=8.00 (SD=2.88) points (action) and in the follow-up 7.92 (SD=3.06) points (action). CG presented a mean score before GBI=5.42 (SD=3.26) points (preparation); after GBI=6.67 (SD=3.05) points (preparation) and in the follow up had a mean score of 4.80 (SD=2.86) points (contemplation). There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups at the motivational stages (p≤ 0,03). Conclusion: It was evidenced that GBI was effective in increasing the motivation to change harmful alcohol intake.

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand how the nursing staff perceives the care provided to people in situations of psychiatric urgencies and emergencies in the Mobile Emergency Care Service (SAMU – Serviço de Atendimento Móvel de Urgência). Method: Descriptive and qualitative study conducted in the Northeast region of Brazil with 34 of the SAMU nursing workers. Data were obtained by semi-structured interviews and processed by the Thematic Analysis. Results: The analysis of interviews allowed the identification of three categories: mechanical practice, need for qualification and (de)humanization of care. The results showed that the care offered to users in psychiatric urgency or emergency situations is based on mechanistic and specific actions. Final considerations: Nursing workers perceive that the care for people in situations of psychiatric urgency and emergency in SAMU is mainly based on physical and chemical containment measures, performing a little resolute and dehumanized care and raising the need for professional qualification.

Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To know the repercussions of the experience of family violence from the oral history of adolescents. Method: Qualitative study based on the Oral History method, conducted from interviews with adolescents enrolled in a public school in Salvador, State of Bahia, Brazil. The data were systematized according to the thematic analysis and supported by theoretical references on family violence and adolescence. Results: Family violence implies physical illness associated with the damage caused by physical aggression and somatization of violent events, as well as compromising mental health, provoking feelings of deep sadness, self-injury behavior and suicidal ideation. All of these factors impair interpersonal relationships, school performance, as well as making them more vulnerable to alcohol intake. Final Considerations: The study indicates signs suggestive of grievance, from which the professionals should proceed the investigation in order to refute or confirm the experience of the phenomenon, as well as intervene in the cases.

Data was collected between February and May 2016, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, with an open interview with the guiding question: “Tell me about your life in relation to alcohol consumption during pregnancy and the guidance received in prenatal care”. Results: The narratives revealed lack of information and fear of malformation (physical) and fetal death due to alcohol consumption during pregnancy. Discussion: Malformation or fetal death may trigger a transitional process in women. Final Considerations: Women have incipient knowledge about the effects of alcohol on the fetus. They consider that alcohol can only cause physical defects in the children.

Published: February 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze burnout, its predictors and association with empathy and self-efficacy among nursing students. Method: cross-sectional analytical study with 284 students from five state universities in the state of Parana, Brazil. The instruments applied were: social and academic questionnaire, Maslach Burnout Inventory, Interpersonal Reactivity Index and Occupational Self-Efficacy Scale (Short Form). Spearman’s correlation and univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were used. Results: 6.0% of the students presented high burnout, 36.3% presented high emotional exhaustion, 37.7% presented high depersonalization and 28.2% presented low personal accomplishment. The burnout predictors were: absence of physical activity; weekly workload >24 hours; low empathic concern. There were negative correlations between empathy (empathic concern and perspective taking) and depersonalization; self-efficacy and emotional exhaustion; and positive correlations between personal accomplishment and empathy and self-efficacy. Conclusion: Personal factors and an academic variable were burnout predictors among nursing students. The correlations suggest that self-efficacy and empathy can prevent burnout.
