Preparer Opposition and Strategic Implementation of Governmental Accounting Standards: Evidence from Public Pension Accounting Reform
Authors: Allen Abigail , Petacchi Reining C.
Published: August 2022

Widely acknowledged as one of the most controversial standards in governmental accounting, Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statements 67/68 radically altered both the recognition and measurement for defined benefit public pensions. The standards require the recognition of previously only disclosed unfunded pension liabilities and increase the magnitude of reported pension liabilities by requiring the partial incorporation of a market-based discount rate. Although the recognition proposal was unaltered from its initial conception to the final standards, the discount rate proposal was significantly attenuated after the initial proposal met with unanimous preparer opposition. Accordingly, we examine what incentives drive preparer lobbying positions, whether such lobbying is aligned with user interests, and how such lobbying affects ex post implementation of the final standard. Our results suggest a misalignment between preparer lobbying and a user interest perspective. In particular, although state opposition for liability-increasing proposals is positively associated with expected financial statement impact, economic constraints, and political ramifications, user lobbying exhibits the opposite relationship, suggesting that users demand greater transparency in the states most likely to eschew it. We further find that state governments consistently opposed to the market-based discount rate are more likely to maintain status quo higher discount rates that lower reported liabilities after the implementation of GASB 67/68. Examining the mechanism, we find that opposing states avoid the market-rate trigger by increasing required contributions from employees rather than by increasing government funding or implementing benefit cuts. The evidence taken together contributes to our understanding of the development and implementation of the landmark GASB 67/68 standards.

Authors: Erul Enes , Sandal Uzun Gullu , Koksal Deniz , Keskin Onur , Uysal Serkan , Inkaya Ahmet Cagkan , Kalyoncu Umut
Published: August 2022

Behçet's disease (BD) is multisystemic vasculitis with heterogeneous clinical manifestations. We describe the case of a 26-year-old man who presented with Budd–Chiari syndrome (BCS) related to BD. The patient received infliximab (IFX) due to the severity of vascular involvement. Subsequently, after IFX therapy, hospital-acquired pneumonia, trapped lung, and fungal infection of the lung and central nervous system developed as complications. The patient benefited from a second course of IFX and clinical remission was achieved following early identification and treatment of complications. Data on the presentation and prognosis of BCS related to BD are extremely limited. Our case report supports the growing evidence that anti-TNF antibody is a promising treatment for BD-related BCS.
O mistério da luz: a não-pertença contemporânea em Os meus sentimentos, de Dulce Maria Cardoso
Authors: Borborema Bozzo Gabriela Cristina
Published: August 2022

A não-pertença contemporânea é um termo por nós definido com base na psicologia social de George Mead e na definição de contemporâneo de Giorgio Agamben. O corpus de nosso estudo, Os meus sentimentos, apresenta a história da narradora-protagonista Violeta que, após um acidente automobilístico, passa a narrar em ordem reversa o que poderia ser o último dia de sua vida e, entremeada a essa narração, Violeta deixa escapar a sua história: uma mulher obesa rejeitada em todas as esferas de sua vida. Buscamos, no presente estudo, averiguar e relação entre o estabelecimento da não-pertença em nosso corpus com a atitude contemporânea de Agamben. Para tanto, contamos com, além dos supracitados, autores como Axel Honneth e Gonçalves Neto e Gama.
Pelos tempos, esquinas e ruas de "Diário do Hospício"
Authors: César Thais Da Silva
Published: August 2022

Uma vez que se pode estabelecer uma analogia entre a enunciação e o caminhar (CERTEAU, 1998), ao cercear o livre deslocamento de pobres, pretos, imigrantes e alcoólatras ao hospício, a capital da Primeira República também os amordaçou. Levado a ele pelas mãos da polícia, Lima Barreto esteve internado por delírios alcoólicos de 25 de dezembro de 1919 a 02 de fevereiro de 1920, e suas anotações deram origem à Diário do Hospício. Seu apreço pela caminhada e pela literatura, que fora do hospício criava textos com os pés e percursos com as mãos, tornaram a obra cidade enunciativa inclusiva, através da qual o narrador caminha pelo relato, pelo tempo, pela memória, pela cidade, pela imaginação, pela paisagem e pela literatura. Pelos tempos, esquinas e ruas de Diário do Hospício, também nós nos tornamos caminhantes. Solvitur ambulando...
O brincar em sentido ecológico
Authors: Antério Djavan , Fernandes Mariana , Dias Adelaide
Published: August 2022

Este artigo traz um apanhado do que foi o trabalho de pesquisa doutoral intitulado Brincando na Roda dos Saberes, apresentado em 2018 ao Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade Federal Paraíba, Brasil. Através de programas de extensão universitária envolvendo pesquisadores bolsistas e voluntários, crianças matriculadas em escolas da rede de ensino público tiveram acesso a conhecimentos artísticos e culturais vivenciando o projeto Brincando Capoeira, com oficinas integradas aos projetos políticos pedagógicos das escolas parceiras, dentre elas a Escola de Educação Básica da UFPB, e a Escola Viva Olho do Tempo. Dos resultados obtidos, destaca-se a tese de que o ato de educar pela prática da capoeira sob uma perspectiva ecológica repercute positivamente e diretamente na corporeidade. Para isso, a criatividade, a inteiração socioambiental, o engajamento solidário-afetivo e a reverência aos saberes de tradições populares, sobretudo os corpo-orais, devem estruturar a pedagogia do processo, constituindo-se em ações transdisciplinares. O brincar, neste processo, vem a ser chave de religação entre o corpo que brinca e a sabedoria que se manifesta.
A decolonialidade em direção ao feminisno negro quilombola: uma reflexão necessária

Published: August 2022

Este artigo é parte do resultado dos estudos desenvolvidos pelo Grupo de Pesquisa em Educação Quilombola da Universidade Federal de Mato Grosso, com um viés voltado para a compreensão do decolonialismo como meio de o feminismo negro da mulher quilombola ressignificar a sua história na sociedade. Como lócus da pesquisa, que possui abordagem qualitativa, por meio de uma revisão bibliográfica de autoras negras que abordam o tema, adotou-se o território quilombola Vão Grande, no município de Barra do Bugres (MT). Para tanto, buscou-se responder ao seguinte questionamento: de acordo com as concepções de teóricas negras, quais indícios na sociedade contemporânea continuam reforçando as desigualdades raciais e de gênero em relação às mulheres negras quilombolas? Assim, o objetivo delineado foi o de analisar sobre os saberes e os fazeres das mulheres negras quilombolas e como essas mulheres são (re)conhecidas espacial e culturalmente de acordo com os constructos teóricos, buscando verificar se, diante do avanço da contemporaneidade, o papel da mulher negra quilombola vem sendo ressignificado. Concluiu-se que, mesmo com os avanços nos estudos e nos entendimentos que visam romper com a visão da colonização e da subalternidade, ainda que as mulheres entrevistadas no decorrer da pesquisa apresentem conquistas pessoais, como o acesso ao estudo e à formação, o discurso hegemônico colonial ainda prevalece, de forma que necessário se faz fomentar debates e políticas públicas para a sua efetiva desconstrução.

End-of-life simulation: a cross-field evaluation in an undergraduate nursing programme
Authors: Parry Maria , Jones Bridie , Churcher Clare
Published: August 2022

Background:

Death can cause a great deal of anxiety in nursing students for a variety of reasons. They are expected to provide a high level of care for patients, give the family the respect and patience they deserve and contend with the associated emotional attachments. This raised the question in today's educational world—can the use of technology and simulation aid students in preparing for an end-of-life scenario as part of an undergraduate nursing programme?

Aim:

To explore the efficacy of the use of simulations in end-of-life care.

Method:

A small study focusing upon the evaluation of an end-of-life simulated scenario for undergraduate second year cross-field Bachelor of Nursing students in a university setting. The simulated scenario consisted of a young patient who was dying and her mother. This project used a mixed approach to address varied students' learning styles and combined the need for visualisation and more structured base-sessions on the topic of death and end-of-life care. One student from the cohort group was randomly assigned as the nurse in charge, while other students were allocated to a scenario (out of a potential four) and provided care in real time. Subsequently, the impact of the scenario was assessed and students were immediately debriefed. Students' response to the scenario was important and needed to be considered, as it directly influenced the debriefing. There were some significant differences between how the students approached the scenario and their reaction to it.

Results:

Of the students who took part in the end-of-life simulated scenario, the majority strongly agreed that the simulation increased their clinical reasoning and learning.

Conclusion:

The end-of-life scenario was deemed beneficial, despite the emotional impact on the learners involved.
Meticillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus pyomyositis and cellulitis in right thigh of a 15-year-old boy: a case study
Authors: Pen Hung Doris Ching , Yung Tan David Hsien
Published: August 2022

Pyomyositis is a purulent infection of striated muscle and postoperative management remains the mainstay. If delayed primary wound closure is not managed in a timely manner, it often results in recurrent infection and sinus tract creation. Cavity wounds with sinus formation are known to complicate treatment, are problematic to manage and persist for long periods of time. The aim of this case report is to present the challenges in the assessment and management of a sinus tract with deep cavity wound, between the vastus lateralis and biceps femoris muscles, originating from liquefaction of a haematoma. Our review of the literature revealed limited research evidence in the management of deep cavity wounds. This is a rare case where the sinus tract route which leads to the rim-shaped cavity is embedded deep between the muscles, posing a high risk of recurrent infection from the premature closure of the wound tract. Successful management was attributed to: the accuracy in the initial wound assessment; appropriate dressing plans; the rationale for each action; and an outcome goal as each treatment progressed. Daily dressing change and reassessment of the wound was required to ensure progress and to address any complications in a timely manner. Finally, concerns of the patient and their family and regular discussions on the treatment plans are important to encourage adherence with management goals.

Authors: Kong Haejin , Kang Jaehui , Lee Hyun
Published: August 2022

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of Cheong-A-Won Gagambang (JCE003) treatment for degenerative knee osteoarthritis.Methods: This was a single-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot clinical trial. There were 36 adults with degenerative knee osteoarthritis who were randomly allocated into JCE003 1,000 mg, JCE003 2,000 mg, or the placebo group (in a 1:1:1 ratio). The participants received 12 weeks of treatment and had scheduled tests every 6 weeks. The primary outcomes were measured using the Korean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities scale, and the secondary outcomes were measured using the visual analog scale, European quality of life-5-dimensions, patient global impression of change, C-reactive protein, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Changes between baseline scores and scores following study completion were analyzed.Results: There were 29 participants whose data were analyzed in this study. The change of Korean Western Ontario and McMaster Universities, visual analog scale, European quality of life-5-dimensions scores showed significant improvement in the JCE003 1,000 mg group. The change of patient global impression of change was significantly improved in the placebo group. There were 14 adverse events, but there was no clinically significant relationship with the intake of JCE003 compared with the placebo.Conclusion: Taking JCE003 may be effective at improving knee pain in patients with degenerative knee osteoarthritis and appears to be safe. Based on this study, the concentration and feasibility of the test group may be used when conducting a large-scale clinical trial of degenerative knee osteoarthritis in the future.

Published: August 2022

The effect of combined Korean medicine treatment including facial chuna manual therapy was retrospectively investigated in patients with Bell’s palsy. There were 16 patients (14 males) who received 2 months outpatient treatment following > 14 days of hospitalization. The Yanagihara score and House- Brackmann grade were used to measure the severity of symptoms and recovery. The patients (mean age 58.5 ± 24.74 years) were categorized based on their medical history of hypertension (n = 10), diabetes millitus (n = 10), or oral intake of steroids early in the diagnosis of Bell’s palsy (n = 10). There was no difference between patients who had or did not have a previous history of diabetes mellitus or oral steroid. Both the Yanagihara-score and House-Brackmann grade improved significantly in the total patient sample after treatment (p < 0.001). Combined Korean medicine including facial chuna manual therapy may have a beneficial effect on patient symptoms and recovery.

Published: August 2022

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia is a skin-sensitive condition/disease that causes severe pain in the facial area predominantly innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve. A 51-year-old man diagnosed with glossopharyngeal neuralgia who was hospitalized with severe pain that limited his daily life activities. From November 18, 2021, to March 4, 2022, he received inpatient (10 days) and outpatient treatment (35 times) using acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and herbal medicine. His symptoms were assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale, Neuropathic Pain Scale, and the Self-report Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptom and Signs. The pain reduced after 4 days of initiating Korean medicine treatment and was completely resolved within 4 months of treatment (Numerical Rating Scale score 4 to 0; Neuropathic Pain Scale score 49 to 8; Self-report Leeds Assessment of Neuropathic Symptoms and Signs score 18 to 0). Korean medicine treatment could be an option for treating patients with neuropathy who rely on analgesics.
O PAPEL DAS NEGOCIAÇÕES COLETIVAS DE TRABALHO EM MEIO A PANDEMIA DO CORONAVÍRUS: UMA ANÁLISE PONDERADA ACERCA DA PARTICIPAÇÃO DOS SINDICATOS NESTE PROCESSO
Authors: Araujo Priscila Milcent
Published: August 2022

O presente artigo aborda de forma minuciosa o instituto da negociação coletiva, como propulsor de justiça social, representando um direito adquirido pelos trabalhadores tanto por lei ordinária, como pela Constituição Federal. Entretanto, face a crise ocasionada pelo coronavírus exporemos através de levantamentos doutrinários e judiciais que, o direito em questão, vem sendo diametralmente violado para se priorizar a celebração de acordos individuais que, por sua vez, colocam os trabalhadores em posição vulnerável e propensa a arbitrariedade patronal. Nesse sentido, faremos uma análise crítica acerca da importância da negociação coletiva como instrumento apto a conferir equilíbrio aos contratos trabalhistas, bem como, teremos um enfoque na participação sindical neste processo, uma vez, que a entidade em questão é a única que possui o condão de firmar acordos e convenções coletivas. Para uma análise ainda mais abrangente serão feitas considerações iniciais acerca do direito coletivo, além de se ter uma avaliação precisa referente as modificações perpetradas pela Reforma Trabalhista em ambos os institutos ora mencionados, visando debater seus reflexos práticos.

Calibration method for a structured light system based on DIC
Authors: Zhu Canyu , Zhang Qingchuan
Published: August 2022

Structured light is a non-contact three-dimensional shape measurement method. The structured light system based on diffractive optical elements (DOEs) is widely used due to its low cost and compact structure. However, compared with a time sequence coded structured light system based on a digital projector, its projector cannot change the content, so it cannot be calibrated with a phase-shift-based method. This paper proposes a calibration method based on the pseudo-camera method and digital image correlation (DIC). It is suitable not only for the calibration of systems based on time series coding but also for the calibration of a speckle structured light system based on DOEs. Validation experiments were conducted in which our method achieved a reprojection error of 0.68 pixels in calibration and a radius error of less than 1% in a measurement of a cylinder in a

On the same page? A qualitative study protocol on collaboration in a multi-laboratory preclinical study

Published: August 2022

Introduction

Medical advancements are slow to reach the patient bedside due to issues with knowledge translation from preclinical studies. Multi-laboratory preclinical studies are a promising strategy for addressing the methodological deficiencies that weaken the translational impact of single laboratory findings. However, multi-laboratory preclinical studies are rare and difficult, requiring strong collaboration to plan and execute a shared protocol. In multiteam systems such as these, collaboration is enhanced when members have cohesive ways of thinking about their goals and how to achieve them–that is, when they have “shared mental models”. In this research project, we will examine how members of Canada’s first multi-laboratory preclinical study build shared mental models and collaborate in the execution of their study.

Methods

Six independent labs in Canada will conduct a preclinical study using a common protocol. To investigate mental models and collaboration in this multiteam system we will conduct a longitudinal qualitative study involving interviews at four time points, team observation, and document analysis. We will analyze interview transcripts using deductive coding to produce a matrix analysis of mental model content over time and inductive coding to produce a thematic analysis of members’ experiences of collaboration over time. We will also triangulate data sources to “tell the story” of teamwork, capturing events and contextual information that explain changes in mental models and collaboration over time.

Discussion

This study will be one of the most comprehensive longitudinal analyses of a real-world multiteam system, and the first within a preclinical laboratory setting. The results will contribute to our understanding of collaboration in multiteam systems, an organizational form increasingly used to tackle complex scientific and social problems. The results will also inform the implementation of future multi-laboratory preclinical studies, enhancing the likelihood of effective collaboration and improved ‘bench to bedside’ translation.
Functions of block of proliferation 1 during anterior development in Xenopus laevis
Authors: Gärtner Corinna , Meßmer Annika , Dietmann Petra , Kühl Michael , Kühl Susanne J.
Published: August 2022

Block of proliferation 1 (Bop1) is a nucleolar protein known to be necessary for the assembly of the 60S subunit of ribosomes. Here, we show a specificbop1expression in the developing anterior tissue of the South African clawed frogXenopus laevis. Morpholino oligonucleotide-mediated knockdown approaches demonstrated that Bop1 is required for proper development of the cranial cartilage, brain, and the eyes. Furthermore, we show thatbop1knockdown leads to impaired retinal lamination with disorganized cell layers. Expression of neural crest-, brain-, and eye-specific marker genes was disturbed. Apoptotic and proliferative processes, which are known to be affected during ribosomal biogenesis defects, are not hindered uponbop1knockdown. Because earlyXenopusembryos contain a large store of maternal ribosomes, we considered if Bop1 might have a role independent ofde novoribosomal biogenesis. At early embryonic stages,pax6expression was strongly reduced inbop1morphants and synergy experiments indicate a common signaling pathway of the two molecules, Bop1 and Pax6. Our studies imply a novel function of Bop1 independent of ribosomal biogenesis.
Basil seedling production environment influences subsequent yield and flavor compound concentration during greenhouse production
Authors: Walters Kellie J. , Lopez Roberto G.
Published: August 2022

Radiation intensity and carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration can be precisely controlled to manipulate plant yield and quality. Due to increased plant densities during seedling production, fewer inputs per plant are required, creating the potential to increase production efficiency. Therefore, the objectives of this research were to: 1) quantify the extent radiation intensity and CO2 concentration under sole-source lighting influence morphology and yield of sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) seedlings, and 2) determine if differences in morphology, yield, and volatile organic compound (VOC) concentration persist after transplant in a common environment. Sweet basil ‘Nufar’ seedlings were grown in growth chambers with target CO2 concentrations of 500 or 1,000 μmol·mol‒1 under light-emitting diodes (LEDs) providing target photosynthetic photon flux densities (PPFD) of 100, 200, 400, or 600 μmol·m‒2·s‒1 for 16 h per day. After two weeks, seedlings were transplanted into a common greenhouse environment and grown until harvest. At transplant and three weeks after transplant (harvest), growth and developmental differences were quantified along with key terpenoid and phenylpropanoid concentrations at harvest. Radiation intensity and CO2 interacted influencing many aspects of plant morphology, though CO2 concentration effects were less pronounced than those of radiation intensity. As radiation intensity during seedling production increased from 100 to 600 μmol·m‒2·s‒1, basil seedlings were 38% taller, had a 713% larger leaf area, and had 65% thicker stems; at harvest, plants were 24% taller, had 56% more branches, 28% more nodes, 22% thicker stems, and weighed 80% more when fresh and dry. Additionally, after growing in a common environment for three weeks, eugenol concentration was greater in plants grown under a PPFD of 600 μmol·m‒2·s‒1 as seedlings compared to lower intensities. Therefore, increasing radiation intensity during seedling production under sole-source lighting can carry over to increase subsequent yield and eugenol concentration during finished production.

Effectivity of Dry and Liquid BS4 Enzymes in Improving Performance of Broiler Chickens Fed Different Nutrient Density Diet
Authors: Sinurat Arnold Parlindungan , Haryati Tuti , Pratiwi Nurul , Purwadaria Tresnawati
Published: August 2022

Supplementation of enzymes in feed is now commonly practiced to increase the nutrient availability of feed and the performance of poultry. A new enzyme called BS4 was produced by cultivating Eupenicilium javanicum. It is necessary to test the efficacy of this enzyme since the effectiveness of enzyme supplementation depends on many factors. An experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary BS4 enzyme supplementation in improving the performance of broiler chickens. A number of 300 broilers DOC was distributed into 30 pens and reared until 35 d. Six experimental diets i.e., factorial of 2 (Standard diet, and low nutrient density diet) X 3 (Control, BS4 liquid enzyme, and BS4 powder enzyme) were formulated with 5 replications. The performance (feed intake, body weight, FCR, and survival rates) were observed during the starter (1-21 d) and whole (1-35 d) periods. At the end of the trial, measurements were also made on the carcass yield, abdominal fat, liver, and gizzard weights. Results showed that performances of broilers from 1-35 d were not significantly affected by interaction between nutrient density and enzyme supplement. The nutrient density also did not affect performances of broilers. However, dietary enzyme supplementation significantly reduced feed intake and improved FCR of broilers as compared to the control. Supplementation of BS4 in liquid or powder form, reduced feed intake by 3.6%. Supplementation of liquid and powder BS4 enzymes improved FCR by 6.4% and 8.9%, respectively, but no different effect between liquid and powder BS4 enzymes on performance of broilers. Nutrient density, enzyme supplementation, and interactions between the two factors did not significantly influence carcass yield, abdominal fat, liver, and gizzard relative weights of broilers.
Revisit the Development of Native Indonesian Chickens from Red Jungle Fowls (Gallus gallus bankiva) to Commercial Chickens
Authors: Tamzil Moh Hasil , Indarsih B
Published: August 2022

Kampung chicken which is one of native Indonesian chickens has been domesticated from the ancestor of Red Fowl Jungle, and developed by the village community from generation to generation through an extensive rearing method. Before the intensive management of kampung chicken was introduced, the chickens were allowed to scavange around the household yard during the day, they slept in the trees, on the roofs or underneath of the household at night. It has been for many years that kampung chickens were crossed with imported exotic breeds, and unplanned selection. As a result, kampung chickens have developed to a considerable high phenotype and genetic varieties with several different names and purposes. There have been selection programs, which have resulted a considerable strain of improved egg type of Kampung chicken (KUB-1 chicken), and a strain of broiler type of local chicken (Sensi-1 Agrinak chicken and Gaoksi chicken). KUB-1 chickens can be used as female lines, and Sensi-Agrinak and Gaoksi chickens can be used as male lines to produce local commercial broilers. The article is to provide information on the domestication process of Red Jungle Fowl chickens into Kampung chickens and their development to become layer and broiler line chickens.

Authors: Ariyanti Tati , Noor Susan M
Published: August 2022

Melioidosis is a zoonosis caused by the bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei, a saprophyte bacteria that is widely found in the environment. This bacteria causes Melioidosis in various animal species with clinical manifestations vary depending on species, but generally fever, depression, weight loss, respiratory sign, lameness, swelling of the joints, and potentially death. The incidence of Melioidosis in humans has been widely reported in many countries and it is estimated that every year there are 20,038 cases with a mortality rate of 51%. In contrary, there have not been many reports of Melioidosis in animals in the world, due to Melioidosis is not well known, limited diagnostic techniques and laboratory facilities in identifying the disease correctly. The presence of Melioidosis in animals and humans has been reported in Indonesia but the incidence is not yet known. This paper discusses Melioidosis in animals, etiological agent, epidemiology, modes of transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and prevention and their presence in animals in Indonesia and constraints and solutions.

CUNHA, Luiz Antônio. O ensino profissional na irradiação do industrialismo. 2. ed. São Paulo: Editora UNESP; Brasília, DF: FLACSO, 2005. 270 p.
           Apresentado originalmente em 1999 para o Projeto Replanfor, da Secretaria de Formação e Desenvolvimento Profissional, do Ministério do  Trabalho, e incorporado como parte dos trabalhos sobre o tema que o autor vem desenvolvendo desde 1972, quando da defesa de sua dissertação de mestrado, o livro é uma relevante contribuição para os estudos sobre a história da educação profissional no Brasil. Constitui o terceiro volume da trilogia publicada pelo autor sobre o ensino técnico-profissional, antecedido das seguintes obras: O ensino de ofícios artesanais e manufatureiros no Brasil escravocrata (2000) e O ensino de ofícios nos primórdios da industrialização (2000).
          O livro retrata o desenvolvimento da educação profissional brasileira, no período que vai do Governo Provisório pós-1930 até ao fim do século XX. Numa continuidade de sua extensa produção historiográfico[1]educacional e partindo de um posicionamento teórico-metodológico crítico, Cunha consegue captar as vicissitudes do movimento histórico do trabalho e da educação para o trabalho no Brasil no período correspondente, embora muitas vezes se referindo ao Brasil acabe generalizando e dando ênfase aos grandes centros como São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro.
         Cunha parte do ensino orientado pela força de trabalho industrial e manufatureira para abordar o ensino profissional, demonstrando que a constituição deste “grande aparato educacional” não é um processo linear e homogêneo. O autor busca reconstruir a lógica interna às políticas educacionais, descrevendo com exatidão a legislação correspondente, explicada por suas implicações ideológicas e disputas hegemônicas que se desenvolveram no campo educacional. Além das mudanças ocorridas no processo produtivo, o autor também descreve como os protagonistas envolvidos com o ensino profissional as encararam. Este livro culmina com a apresentação de um campo educacional marcado por conflitos, sobretudo no que diz respeito ao Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Industrial (SENAI), instituição que o autor dá atenção especial.

Low-cost Prototype Pyrgeometer for Atmospheric Radiation Measurements
Authors: Chacón Cardona César Alexander , Otálora Porras Yuber , Serrano Franco Cristian Camilo
Published: August 2022

Objective: To design and build an instrument capable of measuring long-wave infrared radiation with elements of the national market that offers an excellent performance in measuring energy in this spectral band.
Methodology: The best design was determined based on other existing instruments, innovating its development by using materials that are easily accessible in the country, and its operation was verified by characterizing an incandescent light bulb used as an infrared radiation pattern. Then, the radiation measured by the instrument was compared to that emitted by the source by means of an experimental setup that involved measuring the temperature at several distances.
Results: A functional prototype was obtained, and its operation could be verified through a series of irradiance measurements according to the Stefan-Boltzmann law, through a calibration process with a known radiation source.
Conclusions: A radiometric instrument for the thermal infrared band was designed and built. Raw materials and electronic components were used which were available in the local market, thus noticeably reducing the equipment’s production costs.
Funding: This research was funded by the authors.
Myocardial Scintigraphy in Diagnosing Cardiac Transthyretin Amyloidosis
Authors: Petrovic Marija , Lopez Persio D. , Eng Calvin , Rashid Mahjabeen
Published: August 2022

Myocardial scintigraphy with technetium-99m pyrophosphate is a minimally invasive technique that can distinguish between transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) and light-chain amyloidosis. We present a case in which it helped determine the amyloidosis type in a 74-year-old man with cardiac amyloidosis and multiple previous admissions for acute decompensated heart failure.

The patient presented with increasing abdominal girth and bilateral lower extremity edema. His medical history also included atrial fibrillation, liver cirrhosis, hypertension, stage 3 chronic kidney disease, and peripheral vascular disease. We prescribed guideline-directed medical therapy for his acute decompensated heart failure with cardiorenal syndrome and his decompensated cirrhosis.

Two years previously, a presumptive diagnosis of ATTR cardiomyopathy had been made on the basis of the patient's age, predominantly cardiac involvement, an unremarkable serum protein electrophoresis result, and an abnormal free κ/λ light-chain ratio of 2.24. Over the next year, the patient's clinical condition had worsened with the development of liver cirrhosis and peripheral neuropathy, and his free κ/λ light-chain ratio had become even more abnormal. At the current presentation, a technetium-99m pyrophosphate nuclear scintigram revealed a free κ/λ light-chain ratio of 1.52. This, combined with the patient's age and slow progression of primarily cardiac disease, supported the diagnosis of ATTR, and we prescribed tafamadis.

This case suggests that technetium-99m pyrophosphate scintigraphy is valuable in definitively diagnosing ATTR cardiomyopathy and selecting patients who may benefit from disease-modifying therapy.

Objetivo: avaliar a eficácia da utilização da terapia combinada de alendronato de sódio e vitamina D no metabolismo ósseo de mulheres em tratamento de osteoporose pós-menopausa.Métodos: trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, a qual foram pesquisados ensaios clínicos randomizados (ECR) indexados nas bases de dados BVS, ISI Web of Science, PubMed, SciELO, ScienceDirect e Scopus que comparavam a associação de alendronato sódico e vitamina D com a monoterapia de alendronato de sódio. Resultados: um total de seis ECR contemplou os critérios para serem inclusos nesse estudo, compreendendo um total de 4164 participantes e seus respectivos dados. Os estudos avaliaram diferentes domínios do metabolismo ósseo, como níveis séricos de vitamina D, paratormônio, densidade mineral óssea e marcadores de turnover ósseo. A terapia combinada produziu melhora significativa nos marcadores metabólicos ósseos. Conclusão: a terapia combinada de alendronato de sódio com vitamina D promove melhora no metabolismo ósseo de mulheres com osteoporose pós-menopausa.
Preparar para adotar?
Authors: Zanini Lívia Anicet , Machado Adriana Marcondes
Published: August 2022

O objetivo deste artigo é analisar, a partir do contexto jurídico da adoção no Brasil, alguns elementos presentes nas forças em jogo na prática de preparar as famílias que pretendem adotar, dando relevo às atividades de orientação realizadas por psicólogos a esses pretendentes. Na pesquisa de mestrado que embasa este artigo, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com membras de um grupo de apoio à adoção e com profissionais de escolas públicas e particulares em uma cidade do interior paulista. Também houve participações em reuniões de preparação de pretendentes à adoção promovidas por esse grupo de apoio. Ressaltamos, na análise deste trabalho, o perigo de algumas práticas que, mesmo buscando combater estereótipos, podem fortalecê-los, exigindo, em relação às intervenções realizadas enquanto psicólogos, a constante necessidade de revisitar suas estratégias e seus efeitos. Defendemos a direção ética de um trabalho que fortaleça rupturas na concepção de família ideal contida na prática da adoção.

Published: August 2022

Introducción. La intensificación de la agricultura con la soja (Glycine max L.) como principal componente del sistema de producción provoca perjuicios importantes en el suelo de Argentina y de muchos otros lugares del mundo. Objetivo. Evaluar la sustentabilidad ecológica de cuatro secuencias agrícolas, bajo distintos manejos de sus barbechos. Materiales y métodos. El ensayo se llevó a cabo en la Estación Experimental J. Hirschhorn de la Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales, Universidad Nacional de La Plata (34° 52´ LS, 57° 58´ LO), Buenos Aires, Argentina, donde desde el año 2011 se ha trabajado con cuatro secuencias de cultivos y, a partir del año 2015, con cuatro manejos distintos de sus barbechos (testigo, compost, cultivo de cobertura sin fertilizante y cultivo de cobertura más fertilizante). Para la evaluación de la sustentabilidad se usaron cinco indicadores: balance de N, P, S y de carbono, además, eficiencia de uso del agua. Asimismo, se calculó el índice de sustentabilidad. Resultados. La secuencia cebada (Hordeum vulgare L.) / soja (Glicine max L.) 2da - maíz (Zea mays L.) - soja-trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) fue la de mayor sustentabilidad bajo tres de los cuatro manejos. La secuencia trigo / soja 2da – soja – soja – trigo fue la de menor sustentabilidad para todos los manejos realizados. Conclusión. Las secuencias analizadas presentaron diferencias en la sustentabilidad ecológica, lo que indica la importancia de la elección de sus componentes en la búsqueda de mejorar la sustentabilidad de los agroecosistemas. La utilización de cultivos de cobertura en los barbechos mejoró la sustentabilidad, cuando se asoció a un mayor uso de fertilizantes y cuando no fue así. El uso de compost tuvo un efecto inmediato menor, ya que solo en la secuencia con mayor frecuencia de soja produjo mejoras en la sustentabilidad.
Castellano Rioplatense in Australia
Authors: Natolo Stephanie
Published: August 2022

In an era marked by globalisation and migration, heritage languages and their use in particular societies is gaining interest. Yet, research into one of the world’s largest heritage languages, Spanish, has primarily focussed on the United States of America. This article examines an under-researched topic of the Spanish-speaking community in Australia. This heterogenous  community is  far more recent and has received far less scholarly recognition than that of its closely researched North American counterpart. Moreover, considering the complexity of language usage, heritage language research has concentrated on standardised use rather than on regional dialects. This directly influences the strategic significance of regional dialects as Latin American Australians are framed as a homogenous community to the broader Anglophone public. This article adds to the current body of research from a unique Australian perspective. Survey and interview data from 100 members of the Argentinian community explores their reasons and use of Castellano Rioplatense. It argues that Castellano Rioplatense is perceived to accrue status and is a means where Argentineans maintain a distinct linguistic and cultural differentiation within the broader Latin American community.

Published: August 2022

The present study sought to ascertain the knowledge of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) majors of their career path possibilities and the job market for English graduates in Costa Rica. A total of 47 senior English students participated in this investigation. A questionnaire was administered to elicit the students’ knowledge of career paths and the job market for English graduates in Costa Rica and their familiarity with the orientation services provided by the University of Costa Rica. Main findings reveal inconsistencies in the knowledge of English majors of career paths and the job market in Costa Rica. Results also evince the undergraduates’ lack of familiarity with the services provided to help them improve their knowledge of those topics. Practical implications are discussed.
