Authors: Moreira Rafaella Pessoa , Araujo Thelma Leite de , Pagliuca Lorita Marlena Freitag
Published: February 2023

The aim of the present study was to construct a concept of mobility limitation in the home, based on the identification of antecedents, attributes, and consequences in stroke patients. It accomplished the concept analysis of the literature starting from access on-line to three databases, in October month 2009. It used descriptors Mobility Limitation and Stroke in the English, Portuguese and Spanish languages. It was found 140 articles and selected 13. The main antecedents identified were: stroke, decreased muscle strength in the lower limbs, and loss of balance; attributes: impaired walking ability and decreased walking speed; consequences: decreased quality of life, decreased participation in society, decrease in activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, and falls. This search might support the future creation of tools for use in studies on this subject and will enable nurses to better focus their practice for the care of these patients.

One aimed to identify the risk factors associated to falls in the elderly, which reflect on their quality of life. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study. A questionnaire was used to collect data from older adults of an active living group from Russas-CE during the period from August to December 2011. The data were inserted in electronic spreadsheets, analyzed by the descriptive statistics and submitted to odds ratio and chi-square tests with significance level p<0.05. The results indicate a high prevalence of falls in the elderly, especially women (OR:14.636; CI- 2.82-75.954). The intrinsic significant factors were hearing problems (p=0,02) and foot problems (p=0,01). The extrinsic factors were steps in the door (17%), resulting in fractures of the upper limb (69%), morbidity (41%) and psychological complaints (70%). Therefore, it is necessary the development of preventive and rehabilitation actions, ensuring a better quality of life for the elderly.

The aim of the article is to draw attention to the fate of the children of Ukraine unlawfully attacked by Russia on February 24, 2022. The invaders fire at residential districts, hospitals, kindergartens, schools, old people’s homes, as well as critical infrastructure facilities, such as the nuclear power plant in Enerhodaar. The war in Ukraine entails a huge humanitarian catastrophe. The situation of vulnerable people is particularly dramatic: babies, children, pregnant women and those who already suffer from various diseases and ailments. Ukrainian children call on Vladimir Putin to end the war and ask for peace and explain that they do not want to die! They want to live normally, learn, dance and sing.

Results: First, the situation of a child in the New Testament was presented, followed by the perception of a young man in the tradition of the Church. Much space was also devoted to the child in the extremely difficult period of totalitarianism in the 20th century. Conclusions: The perversity of current indoctrination, which is to lead to man’s supposed happiness, is that the greater his expectations, the more bitter his disappointment. In the face of the deluge of modern, seemingly all-powerful, evil, Christianity constantly proclaims the Gospel of the child, which is a sure path to God. Wherever God is in the right place, people will not give the child a bad fate.
Godność dziecka w wymiarze duchowości katolickiej
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Falkowska Monika
Published: February 2023

The purpose of this article is to present the dignity of the child in the dimension of Catholic spirituality. The main defender of human and child rights is the Catholic Church, which guards and protects against the internalization of values. The Holy Scriptures are the foundation on which the Catholic Church bases its teaching on the inalienable dignity of man. Also in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland this dignity is confirmed by law. In the article I analyzed the concept of personal dignity in the ontological sense, but also in relation to building personal dignity in the process of child development and education. I presented the educational thought of Blessed Edmund Bojanowski and St. John Bosco. I presented a representative of Christian personalism – St. John Paul II, who unwaveringly proclaimed the dignity belonging to every human being, making also a reflection on the subjective character of the human being and the related right of freedom and choice. In addition, I presented the results of research on the perception of the dignity of the child by people who belong to the Catholic Church and those who are outside of it.
Kary fizyczne stosowane w szkołach Królestwa Polskiego w XIX wieku

Published: February 2023

From the earliest times physical punishment has been used in schools. Such methods were also used in the nineteenth century in the territory of the Congress Kingdom of Poland in the years 1815–1915 under Russia’s subordination. This was applied to both secondary and elementary (primary) school pupils. Numerous references on this have been preserved in public records. The methods of punishment were regulated by the relevant rules of the education authorities. Most frequently, birch rods were used for striking pupils on the naked body. The instructions specified the number of strikes, usually a dozen or even several dozen, which could lead to skin cuts and bleeding. Penalties were applied for misbehavior (including theft, smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol), lack of adequate academic progress, as well as patriotic speeches. Only a few enlightened teachers were opposed to physical punishment. In the second half of the 19th century, physical punishments were applied both in secondary and elementary schools. In addition to the punishments administered with rods, chastening of pupils during lessons, especially in elementary schools, was a widespread practice. It took the form of hair tugging and hitting the students’ hands with a ruler. This practice was not condemned by the school authorities.

In the 19th century in many European countries people started to see the importance of hygiene and health care, as those factors had a significant impact on the health and life expectancy of citizens. However, Poland, which was at that time under the rule of Russia, Prussia, and Austria-Hungary, was extremely backward in this respect. As a result Poles were physically weak and sickly, and their life expectancy was among the lowest in Europe. The same applied to children and young people. Great social activists, including writers and publicists, encouraged the organisation of health-care, hygiene, healthy eating, gymnastics, tourism, and various sports for children and adolescents. They advocated simple ideas, which nowadays are obvious for everybody, but at that time were innovative, and their activity must be regarded as Promethean. The “Falcon” Polish Gymnastic Society and scouting also played a great role in this respect. The activities undertaken by Polish writers and social activists to improve the physical condition, health, and hygiene of young Poles brought positive effects.

The psychological and pedagogical analysis of family systems with a chronically sick child was carried out using the methods of studying the family system. Particular attention was paid to the sense of marital success, expectations from marriage and manifested family attitudes. The analysis of the obtained results indicates statistically significant differences in the functioning of family systems with a chronically sick child compared to family systems without this issue. Parents of chronically sick children have a lower sense of success in their marriage. In the perception of mothers and fathers of chronically sick children, mothers show a shortage of requirements in relation to their children. There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups of surveyed families in terms of their marital expectations and attitudes.
Verbal modifiers in areal perspective: The case of Latvian Romani
Authors: Kozhanov Kirill , Ross Anette
Published: February 2023

Based on the analysis of the texts collected in the 1930s in Latvia and Estonia, this paper provides a description of the semantics of the verbal modifiers, i.e., prefixes (preverbs) and particles, in Latvian Romani. The system of verbal modifiers in Latvian Romani is an innovation evolved under Slavic and Baltic influence. Most preverbs are instances of MAT-borrowing from Slavic and Baltic, whereas verb particles are a PATborrowing, modelled after the Latvian system. The paper argues that even preverbs of Slavic origin often copy the semantics and derivational patterns of Latvian prefixed verbs. It is also shown that, differently from Latvian, in Romani both preverbs and verb particles can affect the verb’s argument structure (e.g., by making it transitive) and change its aspectual value (e.g., by making it perfective). Finally, the distribution of verbal modifiers in Latvian Romani (the development of verb particles as opposed to other closely related Northeastern Romani dialects which only have prefixes, and higher frequency of verb particles in Estonia than in Latvia) confirms the areal cline in the spread of verb particles.

The Quality and Management of Penicillin Allergy Labels in Pediatric Primary Care
Authors: Taylor Margaret G. , Joerger Torsten , Anvari Sara , Li Yun , Gerber Jeffrey S. , Palazzi Debra L.
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Penicillin allergy labels are the most common drug allergy label. The objective of this study was to describe the quality and management of penicillin allergy labels in the pediatric primary care setting.

METHODS

Retrospective chart review of 500 of 18 015 children with penicillin allergy labels born from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2020 randomly selected from an outpatient birth cohort from Texas Children’s Pediatrics and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia networks. Penicillin allergy risk classification (“not allergy,” “low risk,” “moderate or high risk,” “severe risk,” “unable to classify”) was determined based on documentation within (1) the allergy tab and (2) electronic healthcare notes. Outcomes of allergy referrals and penicillin re-exposure were noted.

RESULTS

Half of penicillin allergy labels were “unable to classify” based on allergy tab documentation. Risk classification agreement between allergy tabs and healthcare notes was fair (Cohen’s ĸ = 0.35 ± 0.02). Primary care physicians referred 84 of 500 (16.8%) children to an allergist, but only 54 (10.8%) were seen in allergy clinic. All children who were challenged (25 of 25) passed skin testing. Removal of allergy labels was uncommon (69 of 500, 13.8%) but occurred more often following allergy appointments (26 of 54, 48%) than not (43 of 446, 9.6%, P < .001). Children delabeled by primary care physicians were as likely to tolerate subsequent penicillin-class antibiotics as those delabeled by an allergist (94% vs 93%, P = .87).

CONCLUSIONS

Penicillin allergy documentation within the allergy tab was uninformative, and children were infrequently referred to allergists. Future quality improvement studies should improve penicillin allergy documentation and expand access to allergy services.

Regional changes in coastal climates have recently resulted in many marine species expanding their natural ranges poleward. Among these newly migrating species is the Mangrove Box Jelly, Tripedalia cystophora Conant, 1897 (Cubozoa, Carybdeida). Discovery of this tropical species on the western coast of Florida has been well documented, but records on the eastern coast of Florida are less definitive. We identified 99 individuals in southeast Florida, including adults of both sexes. Evidence of a stable, breeding population of this box jelly on the southeast Florida coast was indicated.

Published: February 2023

The Northern Crayfish (Orconectes virilis) is a relatively new invasive species to Calgary, Alberta Canada. We observed unique morphological characteristics concerning the claws (cheliped) of four (3 males and 1 female) out of 31 crayfish captured using a sweep sampling method from a creek in Calgary, Canada. These specimens exhibited a notable difference in claw size between the right and left claws. Differences in claw sizes can be attributed to an ongoing process of regeneration due to loss of the crayfish’s cheliped.

Published: February 2023

This article presents the results of a survey of the psychological well-being of Russian youth based on the Russian version of the PERMA-Profiler. The survey was conducted at the beginning of 2021 and covered 11,811 respondents (males = 29.2%, females = 70.8%) aged 18–35 (49.2%, aged 18–22; 22.3%, aged 23–30; and 28.5%, aged 31–35) living in the central part of Russia. The survey’s results indicate that the country perform properly in terms of youth well-being. The scores of Russian respondents are significantly higher than the results reported by Butler and Kern for the UK, Greece, Korea, Italy, and the USA in their study of 2016 (this sample is referred to as a total sample). The Russian respondents scored higher compared to the total sample in the scales of Positive emotions and Relationships. The research data show different indicators of well-being in groups differing by gender, age, education, social, marital and parental status, living conditions, and income level. We also found some peculiar age- and gender-related differences regarding well-being in the Russian sample, which also distinguishes it from the total sample. The research results can be used in programs intended to improve the psychological well-being of Russian youth.
Metabolic Transformations in the Area of Municipal Solid Waste Management in Russian Megalopolises: The City of Moscow Case
Authors: Ermolaeva Polina O. , Ermolaeva Yulia V. , Efremenko Dmitry V.
Published: February 2023

Based on secondary data analysis and semi-structured expert interviews (n = 90), the study analyses metabolic transformations in the area of municipal solid waste (MSW) management in Russian megalopolises using the city of Moscow as a case study. The findings suggest that the key node that triggered numerous interdependent processes involved the changes introduced in the legislation on MSW management and the decision to shut down several large MSW landfills without the simultaneous implementation of other landfills. These actions affected the health of the population and contributed to environmental inequality. The authors provide recommendations for the mitigation of risks associated with MSW generation, recycling, and storage in large Russian cities.
The Importance of Green Practices to Reduce Consumption
Authors: Zakharova Olga V. , Glazkova Anna V. , Pupysheva Irina N. , Kuznetsova Natalia V.
Published: February 2023

In modern societies, growing consumption rates lead to the depletion of the planet’s resources and the waste generation. This paper studies green practices aimed at reducing consumption, which were published in social media communities covering separate waste collection. First, we selected nine green practices regarding separate waste collection and classified them as adaptive and transformative. Adaptive practices enhance the adaptability of a society to the deteriorating environment without implying consumption reduction. Transformative practices involve reducing substance and energy consumption due to changes in collective and individual actions. Next, we collected 1987 textual posts of six communities of Tyumen region, Russia, published in social media platform VK, and found all mentions of the nine practices using content and hermeneutic analyses. Finally, we identified transformative practices, such as the practices of exchanging, refusing from purchases, sharing, repairing, and promoting sustainable consumption. The obtained results might help some decision-makers create conditions to disseminate the described practices and to introduce new social practices targeting reducing consumption. We show the possibilities of grassroots initiatives in the greening of society.

Published: February 2023

Objective: To assess the correlation between the Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) level and characteristics of liver lesions listed in the abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan scores in hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods: This was a retrospective analytic observational study with a cross-sectional design conducted at Sanglah Hospital in January 2017–January 2021. Subjects were patients diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma based on clinical and laboratory features. Samples were taken by consecutive sampling. The results of the abdominal CT scan were read by two radiologists with a predetermined abdominal CT scan scoring system. The AFP level data were taken at a maximum of 5 days before an abdominal CT scan was performed.Results: A total of 64 subjects were included in this study. The mean serum AFP level was 1,000 IU/mL (range 0.54–61830 IU/mL). The mean abdominal CT scan score by examiner one was 10.093±5.59, while the examiner two provided a score of 10.281±5.45. The difference in mean CT scan scores between the two examiners was very low and insignificant (mean difference score -0.188; 95% CI -1.894–1.519). The rho Spearman value was 0.918 (p<0.001) between serum AFP levels and abdominal CT scan scores. In the partial correlation, the value of r=0.678 (p<0.001) was obtained after controlling for body mass index (BMI), age, and sex variables.Conclusions: There is a strong positive correlation between serum AFP levels and abdominal CT scan scores in hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Further research is needed with a prospective design to reduce research bias.

Published: February 2023

Objective: To evaluate the haemopoietic effects of Justicia secunda leaf ethanol, n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and n-butanol extracts in mice and compare these effects with the effects of standard antianaemic agents.Methods: Sixteen groups of mice, six in each group, were used for the study. Anemia was induced in Groups 1 to 12 using 20 mg/kg i.p. phenylhydrazine (PHZ) daily for 2 days, followed by either ethanol, n-hexane, ethyl acetate or n-butanol extracts for 6 days. Groups 13 and 14 were induced for anemia and then received 200 mg/kg ferrous sulphate and vitamin B12 for 6 days. Group 15 (positive control) received 20 mg/kg PHZ i.p. only, while group 16 (negative control) was untreated. Blood was collected from the retro-orbital plexuses of the mice into EDTA-containing bottles on the 7th day and analyzed for hemoglobin (Hb) level, packed cell volume, mean cell hemoglobin concentration, and mean cell volume. Red blood cell, white blood cell, and platelet counts were also measured.Results: The ethanol leaf extract of J. secunda significantly increased the hematological parameters of mice compared to the positive and negative controls (p < 0.05). However, the n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and n- butanol extracts showed greater hemopoietic effects (p < 0.001) than the ethanol extract and standard antianemic drugs. The extract of J. secunda leaf tended to stimulate erythropoiesis comparable to the standard antianemic drugs, especially the n-hexane.Conclusion: Justicia secunda leaf extracts exert hemopoietic actions in mice, while the n-hexane extract shows greater haemopoietic activities than ferrous sulphate and vitamin B12.

Published: February 2023

Abstract The presence of spoilage microorganisms in forage interferes with the fermentation process of silage, due to competition with lactic acid bacteria for substrate, generating losses and influencing the nutritional value of the ensiled material. Thus, the objective is to evaluate the effect of “Alecrim Pimenta” essential oil (Lippia sidoides) and nanoformulated thymol on microbiological, fermentative and aerobic stability profile of sorghum (Sorghum bicolor cv. BRS Ponta Negra) silage intercropped with Paiaguás grass (Urochloa brizantha cv. BRS Paiaguás). A 4 x 3 factorial design was adopted, with four additives applied to the silages (control treatment; nanoformulated "Alecrim Pimenta" essential oil (OEN); 62% nanoformulated thymol; and 100% pure nanoformulated thymol), associated with three silo period times (15, 30 and 45 days), with five replications per treatment, totaling 60 mini silos. The Clostridium population was higher in the control treatment and in the OEN. The Lactobacillus population decreased with the increase in silo opening time. Higher aerobic stabilities were recorded in silages with 100% nanoformulated thymol with opening at 15 days; and silages with 62% nanoformulated Thymol (opening period at 30 and 45 days). Silages with 100% thymol provided higher losses of dry matter, gases and effluents, while the use of OEN provided lower losses of dry matter and gases. Silos opened at 45 days showed higher losses of dry matter, gases and effluents. Sorghum and Paiaguás grass silages that received nanoformulated thymol were more efficient in controlling Clostridium and Lactobacillus populations, and this additive improved the aerobic stability of the silage.

Abstract Tetanus is a serious and rare disease in small animals, of an acute nature and mediated by the action of the neurotoxin tetanospasmin, from the bacillus Clostridium tetani. This report describes a case of tetanus in a canine, with emphasis on its clinical and therapeutic aspects, in addition to its clinical recovery. A canine, female, Pitbull breed, five months old, in status epilepticus, was attended at the Veterinary Hospital of the University of Passo Fundo. After stabilizing the patient, the animal was found in a trestle position, with generalized spastic paralysis, risus sardonicus, trismus, erect tail and ears, and difficulty in expanding the thorax. The presumptive diagnosis of tetanus was established based on the anamnesis, clinical signs, and laboratory findings. The established supportive treatment included hydro electrolytic replacement, antitetanus serum, antibiotic therapy, analgesia, myorelaxant and anticonvulsant drugs. The patient's intensive management was carried out with urethral and gastroesophageal probing, changes of position every two hours, and reduction of environmental stimuli. Physiotherapy and acupuncture were also used to complement the treatment and accelerate recovery. The patient was discharged one month after the beginning of the treatment, presenting satisfactory evolution. In the present case, the clinical examination in association with the characteristic clinical signs of the disease, added to the detailed anamnesis, was essential for the presumptive diagnosis of tetanus. In addition, intensive management, drug treatment, physiotherapy, and acupuncture enabled the evolution of the clinical condition to cure.

Abstract This study aims to evaluate the residual effect of different lipid sources in the diet of Japanese quails (Coturnix japonica) in the rearing phase on the performance and egg quality in the initial phase of egg-laying. In the first stage, 400 Japanese quails aged 21 days were used, being distributed in a completely randomized experimental design, with five treatments and ten replicates of eight birds/replicate Treatments consisted of basal ration (BR) with 2.5% soybean oil; BR with 2.5% corn oil; BR with 2.5% cottonseed oil; BR with 2.5% sunflower oil; and BR with 2.5% canola oil. At 42 days, maintaining the initial design, all quails received a basal ration with soybean oil, in order to evaluate the residual effect of the previous phase on the performance and egg quality in the initial phase of egg-laying (43 - 84 days). The different lipid sources did not affect the performance of quails in the initial phase of production. For egg quality, yolk height, yolk diameter, yolk index, gravity, and Haugh unit (HU) showed better results in the treatment using sunflower oil. There was a residual effect of the use of lipid sources of vegetable origin in the rearing phase diet of Japanese quails on egg quality traits. Lipid sources from soybean, corn, cottonseed, canola, and sunflower seeds can be used as energy sources in the rearing diet of egg-laying quails for not being harmful to their initial performance. The longevity in egg production of quails fed with different lipid sources in the rearing phase was similar.

Abstract There is a worldwide demand for new protein sources through environmentally responsible production, and rabbit farming is a sustainable activity. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize meat from different cuts of rabbit carcasses and evaluate their use in the processing of restructured cured cooked ready-to-eat (RTE) products. Rabbit raw meats from different cuts were technologically characterized, and the RTE products were processed from the meats of the entire carcass (RABB), hind legs (RHIND), loin (RLOIN), and foreleg, thoracic cage, and flank (RBACK). Restructured pork cooked ham (PHAM) was used as the reference. Rabbit raw meat from different anatomical parts difered in proximate composition, total collagen and heme-pigment content, water-holding capacity, and CIE color, afecting the characteristics of processed products. RBACK products had higher fat content (5.46%), cooking and reheating losses (7.50% and 5.61%), and poor hardness and chewiness (11.1 N and 17.37 N×mm). Higher values of lightness (L* ~70.27), hue (h ~68.61°), and a slight cured color were observed in RLOIN, with a pale yellowish color described by sensory evaluation. RABB and RHIND were correlated with the sensory attributes of traditional PHAM, being preferred more often and with greater purchase intent than RLOIN and RBACK. It is concluded that cooked ham development from whole carcass meat (RABB) is a potential opportunity for the rabbit industry to ofer value-added technological products of high quality to consumers.

RESUMO Introdução: A doença renal crônica (DRC) requer tratamentos duradouros e alterações severas na rotina de crianças, o que pode favorecer baixa qualidade de vida (QV) e danos à sua saúde mental e à de seus cuidadores primários (CP). O presente estudo teve como objetivo investigar a presença de ansiedade e depressão e analisar a QV de crianças e adolescentes diagnosticados com DRC nos estágios 3, 4, 5, e seus CP. Métodos: Realizamos estudo observacional de caso-controle com 29 crianças e adolescentes e seus CP como grupo de casos e 53 como grupo controle. Utilizamos instrumentos internacionais, validados para a população brasileira: Inventário de Ansiedade Traço-Estado Infantil (IDATE-C), Questionário Pediatric Quality of Life (PEDSQL), Inventário de Depressão Infantil (CDI), Inventário de Ansiedade e Depressão de Beck (BAI; BDI), e o WHOQOL-bref. Resultados: O estudo identificou diferenças estatisticamente significativas no escore total do PEDSQL (grupo controle, 72,7 ± 19,5; grupo de casos, 63,3 ± 20,6; p = 0,0305), no psicossocial (grupo controle, 70,5 ± 20,5; grupo de casos, 61,4 ± 19,7; p = 0,0420), nas dimensões de saúde escolar (grupo controle, 72,9 ± 21,0; grupo de casos, 55,2 ± 19,8; p = 0,0003) e na presença de comorbidade psiquiátrica (sintomas de depressão e ansiedade) no grupo de casos (p = 0,02). Quanto aos CP, o estudo demonstrou significância estatística para a prevalência de sintomas de depressão (p = 0,01) e ansiedade (p = 0,02). Conclusão: Pacientes com DRC apresentam índices mais baixos de QV e mais comorbidades psiquiátricas, e seus CP são afetados pela doença, com índices maiores de depressão e ansiedade.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify the profile and intensity of the care provided by grandparents to grandchildren. Method: a descriptive and cross-sectional study by means of systematized random sampling, with application of a semi-structured questionnaire and execution of descriptive exploratory analysis. It was conducted in 2019 in the municipality of Triângulo Mineiro - Brazil. Results: a total of 392 grandparents caring for grandchildren were interviewed, mostly women (87.5%), retired (67.3%), with incomplete Elementary School (52.8%), hypertensive (71.9%) and with vision problems (69.4%). The main reason for the caregiver role was the fact that the parents had to work, and intensity of the care provided to the grandchildren was high. Conclusion: it is considered that the care relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is an invisible aspect to the scientific production and in the structuring of health programs, despite its impacts on older adults’ health status. The study broadens their visibility, with the need to unveil this topic so that it is possible to integrate them and strengthen public and social policies, especially in the health sector, given that it is an emerging phenomenon.
