4-(4,5-Diphenyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)phenol: Synthesis and Estimation of Nonlinear Optical Properties using Z-Scan Technique and Quantum Mechanical Calculations
Authors: Mostaghni Fatemeh
Published: March 2021

In this study, 4-(4,5-Diphenyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl) phenol is successfully synthesized, and its nonlinear optical properties (NLO) are investigated both experimentally and theoretically. Theoretical investigations have been done by using TDDFT and B3LYP functional with usual 6-31+G(d,p) basis set. The results of HOMO-LUMO and NBO analysis show the low energy gap, high total dipole moment, and hyperpolarizabilities (β, γ) as well as the presence of dipolar excited states with relatively significant dipole-moment changes which are linked to the nonlinearity. The z-scan technique confirmed the NLO properties of title compound. The nonlinear absorption coefficient, refractive index, and third-order susceptibility were found to be 4.044 × 10−1 cmW−1, 2.89 × 10−6 cm2W−1 and 2.2627 × 10−6 esu, respectively. The negative sign of n2 indicated the occurrence of self-defocusing nonlinearity. The results show that the title compound can been used as potential NLO material.

Authors: Özkaya Ahmet , Türkan Kenan
Published: March 2021

In this study, the effects of 3-benzoyl-7-hydroxy coumarin molecule on mineral and antioxidant enzymes were investigated in rat liver exposed to oxidative stress with aluminium chloride (AlCl3). Adult male Wistar albino rats were divided into four groups as Control, Coumarin, AlCl3, and Coumarin + AlCl3. Coumarin at the dose of 10 mg/kg and AlCl3 at the dose of 8.3 mg/kg were administered for 30 days every other day. In AlCl3 group, malondialdehyde (MDA), iron (Fe), aluminium (Al) and copper (Cu) levels increased compared to the control group, while glutathione (GSH) level, glutathione S-transferase (GST), and carboxylesterase (Ces) enzyme activity levels decreased. In Coumarin + AlCl3 group, MDA, Fe, Al and Cu levels decreased with the effect of coumarin compared to AlCl3 group, while GSH level, and GST enzyme activity levels increased. According to our results, AlCl3 generates oxidative stress in rat livers, and we believe that 3-benzoyl-7-hydroxy coumarin has an ameliorative effect on antioxidant enzyme system, Al, Fe and Cu levels.

Published: March 2021

The depletion of phosphate rock reserves has led to the search for new, alternative and environmentally friendly products and processes. One of the safe and environmentally friendly sources of phosphate is animal bone char (ABC), the residue from the pyrolysis of meat and bone meal (MBM), a slaughterhouse waste material. The presented study investigated the physico-chemical properties of the residues (ABC) obtained from the pyrolysis of MBM under different treatment conditions. Two different end temperatures (600 °C and 1000 °C) and five different heating rates (5 °C min−1, 10 °C min−1, 20 °C min−1, 50 °C min−1 and 100 °C min−1) were used. The ABC samples obtained were characterised by X-ray powder diffraction, IR spectroscopy, elemental CHNS analysis and SEM/EDS analysis. The results showed the strong influence of both the pyrolysis end temperature and the heating rate on the morphology and chemical composition of the final products.

Authors: Barroso Márquez Juan Francisco
Published: March 2021

En este artículo analizaremos la respuesta a la crisis provocada por el COVID-19 por parte de Polonia, un Estado caracterizado por haber tomado la senda del iliberalismo desde la llegada al poder del partido político Ley y Justicia (PiS). Los principales elementos del análisis serán el contexto político-constitucional del país antes y después del triunfo electoral de PiS en 2015, la regulación constitucional de los poderes de emergencia y la respuesta que realmente ha dado el Gobierno a la crisis del COVID-19. Para ello, utilizaremos como base los estudios realizados sobre el Estado de Derecho en Polonia, así como un estudio de caso: las elecciones presidenciales que estaban fijadas el 10 de mayo de 2020. Teniendo en cuenta todos estos elementos de forma conjunta, comprobaremos que se trata de la continuación de una misma estrategia, cuyo objetivo es la erosión del Estado de Derecho y del principio de separación de poderes.

Executive summary: The first confirmed case of COVID 19 in Bangladesh was on 8th March 2020, then it subsequently rises and makes the government worried as well as for mass people of the country. Within 9th March it reaches 100 and exceeded 200 cases within next two days. Almost every country taken therapeutic and nontherapeutic measures to control the devastating situation of SARS-CoV where in Bangladesh there is an ongoing debate whether the measures have been adopted adequately or efficiently. It seems government did not impose any strict rules and the mass people also seem not too serious to maintain just a simple rule of wearing a Musk, which seems fancy and impractical to them. However, the consequences of the impact of SARS CoVwas frustrating, until today confirmed case was 371631, death case 5405, recovered 284833 and in Isolation 81393 (evident from corona.gov.bd).Developed countries investing a lot in research to discover the vaccine that can fight SARS CoV. Health care professionals with adequate training act as frontline fighters for SARS-CoV where all over the globe Rehabilitation professionals act as crucial health care providers for post-COVID patients. For instance, our research has four phases where phase one is completed and phase two is under process. For now, we aimed to complete our phase three and four. Phase Three aim: Identify the Functioning, disability, and other indicators of COVID-19 positive patients after recovery. and Phase four aim: evaluate the impact of physiotherapy and rehabilitation among the recovered COVID-19 patients.

Published: March 2021

Contact with nature increases human health and well-being by stress reduction, positive-emotionelicitation, and attentional restoration. Despite the outstanding Brazilian biodiversity, we are unaware ofstudies linking nature experiences to welfare. Herein, we applied cognitive tasks and emotional self-reportsin 33 subjects, before and after a 30-minute walk in a nature trail at Parque Nacional de Brasí­lia, and compared them with the same tests applied before and after a 30-minute walk in Brasiliaôs downtown. We recorded improvements in emotional self-reports after nature experience, while the urban exposure caused decreases in self-reported happiness and increases in negative emotions. These results highlight the relevance of natural settings for cognitive and emotional well-being and the need for a better understanding of the relationships between nature and human health. The recognition that mental health is an ecosystem service can improve the arguments for nature conservation, and the quality of life and public health.

The study provides an analysis of skills required for journalists to use information and communication technologies in professional practice in accordance with modern challenges. The main objective of the present article is to substantiate the need to form the journalist’s instrumental competence in the professional training framework in the specialty “Journalism” in higher education institutions of Ukraine. Methodology: theoretical (abstraction, concretization and generalization of scientific research, pedagogical and professional experience), general (analysis, synthesis, analogy and extrapolation of the analyzed issue to the current state of professional journalism training in Ukraine). Findings and conclusions: 1) as a result of the documentary research, the concept of “instrumental competence of a journalist” (ICJ) was revealed; 2) based on the results of the analytic review of scientific sources and educational documents, the relevant components of journalists’ instrumental competence (knowledge/skills related to software mastering, digital resources and technologies for creating and disseminating media content) are identified; 3) based on the analysis of educational programs in the specialty “Journalism” in Ukrainian higher education institutions, we postulate the need to revise the principles of blocks formation of disciplines aimed at mastering students’ ICJ. Avenues for further research are proposed, in particular, search for mechanisms to maintain a balance between academic knowledge and technological skills in journalism educational programs, which primarily requires the study of positive experiences of modernization of journalism education.
Stereotype-Generating Potential of Ukrainian News Internet Resources Headlines for Ukrainian Youth
Authors: Priadko Yuliia
Published: March 2021

Main objective of the study: to identify the facts of conscious or unconscious assistance in the formation of new stereotypes and supporting active stereotypes against different social groups, for instance, drug addicts, former prisoners, Romani people and sexual minorities, among Ukrainian youth in the headlines of leading domestic news Internet resources.

Methodology: documentary data analysis method was used to: a) characterize modern youth as a specific group of mass media audiences; b) further interpretation of data on young Ukrainians’ fears, preferences, expectations, values, etc. By the help of content analysis method, the potentially stereotypical markers in the titles of the analyzed Internet resources were identified and described. Results and conclusions: while making current study we relied both on open data about society and about young people, and based on this data Ukrainian high school pupils and students’ stereotypes about several social groups, including drug addicts, Roma, former prisoners and members of sexual minorities were logically identified. Content analysis based on the method of continuous sampling of RBC.ua, Ukrainian Pravda and UNIAN resources’ headlines of the first three weeks of May 2020 partly confirmed the hypothesis that Ukrainian online news mass media are able to generate and maintain their audience stereotypes, by the help of exceptional publishing news about these social groups. In general, we assessed the stereotype-generating potential of the studied media as negative. This is primarily because of following journalistic standards in the process of writing news reports extremely accurately. Significance: this research is significant for Ukrainian scientific thought because the author firstly proposed assessing the stereotype-generating potential of media texts algorithm.

Published: March 2021

This study examines language-specific characteristics of the electric activity in bilinguals’ brains. The aim of this study was to evaluate language-specific characteristics of functional connectivity related to the perception of verbal information in different languages. Increasing synchronization of gamma band was detected in the association regions of left hemisphere during the Russian sonnets, alongside with interhemispheric coherence. The increase in synchronization exclusively in the left hemisphere was observed as in the case of English and Ukrainian sonnets. Increase of the coherence was shown in the left lateral and medial supplementary motor area when listening to Russian sonnets in comparison with Ukrainian. Decrease of coherence while listening to the Russian sonnets in comparison with Ukrainian was present in angular gyrus and superior parietal lobule. This evidence could indicate relatively lesser involvement of memory and attention when listening to Russian in comparison with the Ukrainian. Despite high proficiency of the participants, the mechanism of language perception could be different. Perhaps, an emotional response does not depend on the level of knowledge of the language but rather on its phonetic structure and prosody.

Authors: Vintserskaya Galina A. , Pritulo O. A. , Sherengovskaya Yu. V. , Babanin V. A. , Marakah M. Ya.N.
Published: March 2021

IMPORTANCE: In 2019, the world faced a serious threat a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) which entailed severe social and economic losses. Considering the massive spread of COVID-19 in 2020, recently, studying the methods of prevention used to prevent the spread of the disease is considered relevant.
RESULTS: We have analyzed scientific publications devoted to the study of prevention in databases, such as Scopus, Web of Science, and CyberLeninka. Antiseptic drugs were of particular interest; thus, this article describes the nonspecific preventive measures with the use of miramistin antiseptic drug. This drug has a wide antimicrobial and antiviral spectrum of action. It has a bactericidal effect on aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, and their association on fungal microflora with significant influences on herpes viruses, human immunodeficiency, hepatitis, and sexually transmitted pathogens. Therefore, for many years, this drug is actively used as a means of prevention. Scientific evidence stating that miramistin can inactivate coronaviruses exists. The obtained data show that miramistin in 0.0001% concentration reduces the infectious activity of human coronavirus almost twice, and miramistin in 0.005% concentration and above completely neutralizes the infectious activity of human coronavirus. It has been proven that miramistin has an immunoadjuvant effect, which leads to increased protective reactions of the skin and enhances skin regeneration due to the activation of cellular and humoral immune responses.
CONCLUSION: Miramistin preparation has the following important advantage: it has a selective effect on pathogens and does not have an adverse effect on body tissues.

Published: March 2021

In this study, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the water and ethanol extracts obtained from the fruit and leaves of Paliurus spina-christi Mill., in the city of Kahramanmaras, were investigated. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were determined using the CUPRAC, DPPH, and ABTS methods, and the results were evaluated by comparing them with those of BHT and Trolox, as standard substances. On the other hand, the antimicrobial activities of the plant extracts were identified using the agar well diffusion method.
According to the CUPRAC method, the antioxidant activities of the plant extracts at a concentration of 800 µg/mL were found to be lower than those of the standard antioxidant substances. The DPPH radical scavenging activity of the ethanolic extract of the leaves of the plant was found to be higher than that of Trolox. In the ABTS method, the radical scavenging activity of the fruit of the plant was found to be high and close to those of the standard antioxidants.
According to the data obtained from the agar well diffusion method, ethanol extracts obtained from fruit and leaf parts on all microorganisms except Pasteurella multicoda and Bacillus cereus bacteria have the highest zone diameter. The ethanol extract of fruit of the plant was found to be more effective in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Candida albicans.

Aim To study the effect of various types of respiratory muscle training (RMT) in patients with functional class (FC) II-III chronic heart failure (CHF) and more than 70% preserved diaphragm muscle mass.Material and methods 53 patients (28 men and 25 women) aged 50-75 years with NYHA FC II-III ischemic heart disease (IHD) and arterial hypertension with more than 70% preserved diaphragm muscle mass of >70% were randomized to one of four RMT types: static loads, dynamic loads, their combination, and breathing without applied resistance as a control. Peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) and maximum inspiratory pressure (MIP) were evaluated at baseline and in 6 months.Results All study groups showed significant improvement of physical endurance indexes compared to baseline values (р<0.05). In pairwise comparison, the groups significantly differed (р<0.01). The greatest improvement was observed for patients of dynamic and combined training groups. Furthermore, in the combined training group, results were significantly higher than in the group of isolated dynamic loads. The most significant (р <0.01), positive changes in the force of inspiratory muscles were observed in groups of dynamic and combined trainings with the best results displayed by patients of the combined training group.Conclusion With preserving more than 70 % of diaphragm muscle tissue (as determined by MIP >60 cm H2O), a combination of static and dynamic RMT is most effective for patients with FC II-III CHF.

Authors: Sharma Gopal , Parsad Seema , Sharma Anuj , Jangra Kiran , Kumar Santosh
Published: March 2021

Robot-assisted pelvic surgeries in steep Trendelenburg position present unique challenges to the anaesthesia team. Pneumoperitoneum, also, puts additional strain on the cardiovascular and respiratory requirements of the patient. In-depth knowledge of the effect of this position on patient's physiology is essential for intraoperative safety and better management. Robotic arms can also cause steric hindrance and limited access to the patient thus better intraoperative communication may help in averting any untoward event. With this review, we discuss the effect of steep Trendelenburg position and pneumoperitoneum on the intraoperative physiology of the patient.

Published: March 2021

The present study compared the recovery from desflurane and sevoflurane anaesthesia in patients after prolonged surgery using Index of Consciousness (IoC) monitoring scale.

A total of 50 patients between 18 to 60 years of age, scheduled to undergo prolonged surgeries (lasting for more than 120 minutes) were included in this study and randomly divided in two groups (Group A: Desflurane; Group B: Sevoflurane) of 25 patients each.

The patients who received Desflurane had better recovery characteristics than Sevoflurane. Results showed that for attaining value of IoC- 95, mean time required by patients of group A was 1.82 (± 0.50) minutes as compared to 5.36 (± 0.95) minutes by group B. Similarly for attaining value of IoC-99 (i.e. state of complete consciousness), mean time required by patients of group A was 11.04 (± 1.62) minutes as compared to 22.84 (± 4.85) minutes by group B. The results were significantly different (p< 0.05) for both the values of IoC.

The present study concludes that inhalation based desflurane anaesthesia has a faster recovery than sevoflurane anaesthesia in prolonged surgeries, when both are guided by IoC monitoring.

Authors: Palaria Urmila , Joshi Kamal Nayan , Upreti Yeeti
Published: March 2021

Achondroplasia is the commonest variety of rhizomelic dwarfism, which results from abnormal cartilage formation at epiphyseal growth plates. The peculiar facial features, bony deformities and systemic abnormalities often pose a difficulty in administration of anesthesia, particularly in the parturients. There are very few reported cases of spinal anesthesia in achondroplastic parturients, because of its feared high risks.

We reported, two cases of achondroplastic parturients with short stature, planned for emergency lower segment caesarean section (LSCS), in view of cephalo-pelvic disproportion under spinal anesthesia.

We discussed the anesthetic issues to achondroplastic parturients and finally did under spinal anesthesia. Besides, a myriad of problems encountered in these patients warrant a careful pre-anesthetic evaluation to warrant patients' safety and affirmative procedure outcomes.

Authors: Shukla Shreya , Kashikar Ritu , Desai Shrinivas
Published: March 2021

Advanced neuro-imaging like Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) is a non-invasive technique with enormous potential in glioma grading.

To assess the diagnostic accuracy of DTI metrics for differentiating low grade from high grade gliomas.

This is a diagnostic accuracy study of 38 patients with glioma. DTI was performed on Siemens 3T MRI machine. Post- processing of data was done by placing circular ROI of 30 mm on tumor (T), peritumoral edema (PT) and normal appearing white matter (WM) in the corresponding contra lateral hemisphere, avoiding cystic/necrotic/hemorrhagic regions. ROIs were then automatically transferred to corresponding λ1, λ2, λ3 and FA maps. FA, ADC, AD, RD, Cp, Cs and Cl were obtained. DTI parameters and histopathological tumor grades were analyzed statistically.

An independent-samples t-test showed a significant difference between low grade and high grade tumours in eight out of 21 DTI parameters of which ADC (T), AD (T) and RD (T) showed a sensitivity of 100%. 72% and 12%; specificity of 76.9%, 100%, and 100%; PPV of 89.3%, 100% and 100%; NPV of 100%, 65% and 34.32% respectively. Diagnostic Accuracy was highest for ADC (T), ADC (PT), AD (T), RD (T), Cl (T), Cp (T).

DTI is recommended as part of glioma imaging for optimizing patient outcome as this study reveals high diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity for ADC, AD, RD, Cl and Cp of solid tumoral part and ADC, Cl of peritumoral region to differentiate High from Low Grade tumours.
Analysis of Parkinson‘s disease movement disorder by M E R with S T N – Deep Brain Stimulations
Authors: Rama Raju Venkateshwarla

Brain`s neuro protection is clearly the new frontier in movement disorder research and therapy. The long-term clinical studies have so far failed to prove that high-frequency stimulation has been able to slow down the evolution of the disease. So called e a r l y s t i m clinical p r o t o c o l s have only proven that it was safe to induce or stimuli sub thalamic nucleus S T N much earlier than it was so far accepted. At the experimental level, M P T P - treated monkeys, high-frequency stimuli of the S T N could protect neurons in the sub stantia nigra. To test this scientific rationale/hypothesis in humans, one would need to perform S T N induced stimuli at the very beginning of the disease, which is not easily ethically sustainable given the surgical risk, even if low, in patients who are still minimally impaired by the disease. There have been so many advancements in computing capabilities; big data management; miniaturization of electronics, devices and batteries; and new sources of energy compatible with implantation of biological devices and fuel cells. More recently, there has been an explosion of biological imaging at the nano level as well as whole-brain imaging. It is impossible to generate a reasonable picture of future technological development without being sure to be wrong. The consequence of that is that when building projects and setting new protocols as well as imagining new tools and devices, we should be confident that what has not yet been developed will eventually be created. In this article we the author explained the present past and future Parkinson`s disease prediction.

D B S is a typical interventional procedure performed for Parkinson patients both by giving local anesthesia and also and global anesthesia mainly to reduce the cardinal motor symptoms. However, it is not giving the results for the non motor symptoms. Some groups of subjects are not eligible for neurosurgical DBS operation in local anesthesia because of medical causes, for instance enormous fright and panic, concentrated co-operativity, or coughing-attacks. Microrecording (MER) has been shown to be helpful in DBS surgery. The goal of this study was to estimate the likelihood probability, i.e., practicability of M E R for S T N D B S neurosurgery under general anesthesia plus to compare the data of intra operative M E R also the prognosis data by that of the contemporary-literature of PD-subjects enduring or experiencing the surgery under local anesthesia.

Published: March 2021

Paget’s disease of bone (PDB) is a focal disorder of accelerated skeletal remodelling that is uncommon in patients under the age of 40 years; it is more prevalent in older individuals. We report two cases of PDB diagnosed in early adulthood at the Mohamed Kassab Institute of Orthopedics, La Manouba, Tunisia. The first case was a 35-year-old male patient who presented in 2011 with a seven-month history of hip pain. The second case was a 39-year-old female patient who presented 2014 with chronic lower back pain. The PDB diagnosis was confirmed with clinical, biological and radiological investigations. Both patients were doing well on follow-up. Some previous cases have been reported in the literature, differing from the presented cases in some aspects; data of PDB features at differing ages is still insufficient. Early recognition of this clinical entity in young patients is important as early treatment can affect the progression of the disease.

O setor apícola tem ganhado grandes proporções nos últimos tempos em termos de produção e comercialização de produtos, como o mel e seus derivados. O Brasil, apesar de ter acompanhado esse crescimento e possuir boas características para o desenvolvimento da apicultura, ainda sofre com a limitação no uso de ferramentas tecnológicas, o que afeta diretamente os níveis de produção. Este artigo propõe o desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta tecnológica que auxilie o apicultor no gerenciamento eficiente da produção apícola e na tomada de decisão a partir de modelos preditivos baseados em Machine Learning (ML) e integrados a um sistema web. Para tanto, foram utilizados diferentes algoritmos de ML para predição de produção de mel, tais como a Regressão Linear Múltipla, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) e Support Vector Regression (SVR). Os modelos gerados foram avaliados com base no coeficiente de determinação (R2 ou Score) e o cálculo de erro das predições utilizando a Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). Os resultados desta pesquisa contam com um sistema web em desenvolvimento e resultados dos experimentos realizados, que mostram uma melhor performance da técnica MLP com Score de 0.98 e RMSE de 711196 libras.

Published: March 2021

BACKGROUND The increased propensity for acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with cirrhosis stems from haemodynamic abnormalities typical for patients with cirrhosis and ascites. 15 which is due to development of portal hypertension and portosystemic collaterals with splanchnic and systemic vasodilatation, resulting in decrease in effective arterial blood volume with increase in renin angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), sympathetic nervous system and non-osmotic release of antidiuretic hormone causing sodium retention, increased intravascular volume, and a hyperdynamic circulatory state, 16 complemented with increased production of nitric oxide which is considered the main cause of vasodilatation in cirrhosis. Mechanism of renal dysfunction in cirrhosis includes portal hypertension & its accompanying haemodynamic abnormalities15 leading to increased synthesis of endogenous vasodilatory compounds such as nitric oxide leading to vasodilatation in splanchnic & systemic arterial systems ultimately leading to activation of reninangiotensinogen–aldosterone system causing compensatory renal vasoconstriction & hypo-perfusion resulting into renal failure.

Published: March 2021

The results of experimental studies to assess the effect of humic preparations on the processes of microbiological remediation of soils contaminated with oil products of various fractions (gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil) is presented. The object of the study was humic preparations, different in their state of aggregation, sources and isolation technology. The evaluation criterion was the degree of degradation of oil products in contaminated soils with the combined use of industrial microbiological destructors and humic preparations. It was found that the introduction of humic preparations into the soil contaminated with oil products stimulates the processes of their microbiological remediation. Thus, the degree of degradation of oil products under the influence of humic preparations increases by 10–70 %, depending on the properties of the oil products themselves, as well as on the characteristics of the introduced preparations.

Понятие прогресса в мировой науке дискуссионно. Цель статьи – выявить свойства политического прогресса, характерные для нестабильных переходных периодов, и возможности применения математических методов его описания. Использованы исторический, сравнительный и системный подходы. Дается обзор основных положений классической и современной идей прогресса. Выделены особенности политического прогресса: связь политики и прогресса через восходящую линию истории; сохранение направленности прогресса посредством революции; возникновение новых институтов, решающих проблемы взаимоотношения личности и общества. Ж. Кондорсе заложил основы математического описания прогрессивных изменений в стабильном состоянии. Современные исследования допускают возможность моделирования прогрессивных процессов в условиях нестабильности. Обсуждаются сомнения в идее политического прогресса.

Entre “malas” e “gatos velhos”: organização espacial/residencial e representações morais em uma pequena cidade da Amazônia brasileira
Authors: Conceição Wellington Da Silva , Leite Watilla Cirqueira , Régis Eva Pereira
Published: March 2021

O presente trabalho resulta de uma pesquisa realizada na pequena cidade de Tocantinópolis, Tocantins, a partir de uma investigação em dois bairros dessa cidade, os quais surgiram de políticas públicas de moradia popular. O objetivo deste artigo é discutir a relação entre a organização urbana da cidade de Tocantinópolis e a representação moral (por parte dos demais citadinos) em torno dos sujeitos que habitam os dois bairros periféricos que foram os locus da nossa pesquisa. As atuais representações sobre esses bairros e seus moradores – manifestada na fala dos outros habitantes da cidade, nos discursos dos representantes do poder público e nas notícias apresentadas pelos veículos de comunicação local – estão relacionadas a uma percepção “moralmente poluída” desses sujeitos: esses seriam criminosos (ou potenciais), poucos civilizados e dados a comportamentos promíscuos. No trabalho de campo realizado nesses bairros, observamos duas categorias, as quais revelavam representações estereotipadas dos seus moradores e que utilizaremos para nortear nossa reflexão: “mala” e “gato velho”. Explicitaremos os sentidos dessas categorias e seus usos e efeitos nas possíveis interações.
Mulheres rurais nordestinas e desviantes: um estudo sobre a quebra das expectativas de gênero no meio rural
Authors: Moraes Lorena Lima de , Nascimento Nathália Marques da Silva
Published: March 2021

Pesquisas que retratam mulheres rurais que fogem das expectativas sociais; que questionam a reprodução das relações de gênero no campo e, renegam a vida de submissão que mulheres de gerações anteriores tiveram em função do casamento, ainda são incipientes na literatura das Ciências Sociais. Neste sentido, o presente artigo teve como objetivo investigar histórias de vida de mulheres rurais, analisando-as à luz das categorias sociológicas desvio e estigma, evidenciando diferentes formas de (r)ex(s)istência dessas mulheres aos valores patriarcais. Foram entrevistadas dez mulheres rurais solteiras, com mais de 40 anos, provenientes de quatro estados da região Nordeste. Identificamos o recorrente uso de termos pejorativos para denominar as mulheres solteiras e percebemos que, apesar de o caráter conservador ainda se fazer presente no meio rural, as mulheres entrevistadas ressignificam a sua condição, exaltam a sua liberdade e demonstram satisfação por não terem constituído uma família que atende ao modelo hegemônico.
