Authors: Silva Juliana Ferreira da , E Silva Luiza Gayão Araújo , Oliveira Maria Liz Cunha de , Penso Maria Aparecida
Published: July 2021

OBJETIVO: Analisar a literatura científica sobre a reinserção social de egressos do sistema prisional no mercado de trabalho. MÉTODO: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática com busca e seleção de estudos via Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (Capes) de 2009 a 2019, adotando critérios de disponibilidade na íntegra, em língua espanhola, inglesa ou portuguesa. A busca, seleção, avaliação de qualidade e extração de dados foram realizadas independentemente por duas pesquisadoras. Foram encontradas 555 produções, sendo filtradas a partir de título e resumo e, na sequência, inventariados tecnicamente; posteriormente, foi realizada a análise do texto na íntegra dos artigos selecionados nas etapas anteriores. RESULTADOS: Foram avaliados 10 artigos, onde seis estudam a inserção do egresso no mercado de trabalho na perspectiva do sexo masculino e apenas um artigo trata dos dois sexos. Quanto à perspectiva de gênero, não foi encontrada referência. Os resultados dos estudos analisados tiveram objetivos distintos, tendo em comum a investigação de diferentes tipos de inserção de ex-detentos no mercado de trabalho e as tendências dessas produções são caracterizadas pela restrição de encontrar trabalho. CONCLUSÃO: A análise dos artigos verificou que os egressos do sistema prisional enfrentam uma confluência de fatores de difícil superação para alcançar algum tipo de trabalho, quais sejam, o estigma que pesa sobre eles, o baixo nível de escolaridade e a precarização do trabalho.

Published: July 2021

INTRODUCCIÓN: Investigación realizada en la ciudad de Medellín, Colombia. OBJETIVO: Comprender el significado que tienen para los niños en situación de calle las alteraciones en la salud y cómo las tratan. METODOLOGÍA: Estudio cualitativo, etnográfico. Se aplicaron 30 entrevistas a niños en situación de calle y se llevó diario de campo. RESULTADOS: Las alteraciones en la salud las clasifican en enfermedades causadas por Dios y enfermedades o heridas causadas por el hombre; las primeras no pueden prevenirse, las segundas sí. Las causadas por el hombre pueden ser: graves, si están relacionadas con la posibilidad de morir y requieren atención hospitalaria; serias cuando comprometen su libertad requieren ayuda y leves cuando no comprometen su independencia y las solucionan mediante la automedicación o tratamientos culturalmente determinados. Las alteraciones en la salud significan experiencia y las heridas significan venganza, valentía o vergüenza. CONCLUSIÓN: Los niños en situación de calle construyen el significado de alteración de la salud, a partir de sus experiencias, en relación con la muerte y la libertad.
Оспаривая очевидное: арктические города
Authors: Пилясов Александр Николаевич , Путилова Елена Сергеевна
Published: July 2021

Впервые в мировой литературе в статье обосновывается исключительность арктических городов как особого биосоциального института: не значительные отличия городов Арктики от городов умеренной зоны, а их системная обособленность. Для этого авторы используют концепцию Оливера Уильямсона о специфических активах, в том числе местоположении как активе особого вида, и сопоставления городов Арктики с северными и глобальными городами.

Для будущих расчетов степени специфичности городов Арктики предложена ВВФ-модель. Первая «В» указывает на особенности внешних связей арктических городов-баз, предоставляющих освоенческие услуги окрестным территориям ресурсных промыслов, традиционного проживания и хозяйствования коренных народов, геостратегическим территориям. Вторая «В» — особенности внутренней организации арктических городов, которые лучше всего понять, используя биосоциальный подход Эдварда Уилсона и советское наследие в экосистемных исследованиях Арктики. Это предполагает отказ от разделения между обществознанием и естествознанием в Арктической зоне и признание сходства особых черт природных и социальных систем Арктики. Другими словами, необходимо увидеть арктический характер города как продолжение арктических экосистем, вбирающее их основные черты (открытость, сезонность, нестационарность, временность и др.). Наконец, «Ф» — функционирование — означает значительную амплитудность, турбулентность, даже спонтанность существования арктических городов. Для сравнительной оценки роли городов Арктики как «инновационных машин» был проведен анализ числа зарегистрированных патентных заявок за весь период наблюдения и по годам по 26 крупнейшим городам Арктики. В результате не была обнаружена связь между освоением ресурсов на местных полюсах роста и инновационностью ближайшего города, являющегося форпостной базой. В отличие от крупных диверсифицированных тыловых баз Архангельска и Мурманска, периферийные административные центры и даже крупные моногорода пока редко выступают в роли «машин инноваций» для своей подшефной территории.
Analysis of glycosphingolipids from human plasma v1
Authors: A Priestman David , te Vruchte Danielle , Wallom Kerri-Lee , E Fernández-Suárez María , Leondaraki Maria , Drake Carissa , M Platt Frances
Published: July 2021

Interest in the role of cellular glycosphingolipids (GSLs) in health and disease led to us developing a sensitive method to analyse the full complement of GSL structures present in mammalian cells, fluids and tissues. The original qualitative method we developed was published in 2004 and measured the oligosaccharides selectively released from glycosphingolipids using a ceramide glycanase enzyme derived from the medicinal leech. We have now updated and refined this protocol with the focus on achieving sensitive and reproducible quantitation of GSLs in control and patient plasma samples. The method uses the fluorescent compound anthranilic acid (2-AA) to label oligosaccharides prior to analysis using normal-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. The labelling procedure is rapid, selective, and easy to perform. With the inclusion of a 2AA-labelled chitotriose calibration standard, it is possible to obtain accurate and reproducible molar quantities of individual GSL species.
Auger/Auspice/UShER: SARS-CoV-2 Cluster Detection Workflow for the Terra Platform v1
Authors: Ginni Anusha , V Hagey Jill
Published: July 2021

The Titan_Augur workflows was written to process concatenated assembly fasta data for SARS-CoV-2 Phylogenetics analysis and cluster detection. Augur has two workflows, Augur_Prep and Augur_Run which you need to run one after the other. The output of these workflows is the required inputs for Auspice/Nextstrain to understand the genetic relatedness and draw phylogenetics inferences. The inputs for the Augur_Prep job include metadata on the sample (you can upload as a tsv), the assembly fasta and pango lineage for each sample. If you ran Titan on Terra you will already have generate the the assembly fasta and pango lineage for samples, but if you used another pipeline you will need to upload them. Upon initiating a Augur_Prep job, input data will be processed and the output will be a sample metadata and assemblies in the correct format to perform Augur_run analysis. The Augur_run workflow then takes the metadata and the concatenated fasta assemblies to generate the outputs that can be used for phylogenetics inferences on Auspice or Nextstrain visualization interface tools. This protocol also shows steps on how to visualize using the Auspice as well as UCSC UShER tools.

Adolescencias, recorridos y contextos. Una historia de sus concepciones psicoanalíticas
Authors:   Universidad de Antioquia, Fernández Arcila Mauricio
Published: July 2021

El establecimiento del vínculo entre psicoanálisis y adolescencia ha tenido una evolución lenta; durante el siglo xx la adolescencia se delimita progresivamente como objeto de estudio independiente para el psicoanálisis, a medida que algunos analistas encuentran las especificidades intrapsíquicas que la diferencian de la infancia y que impiden reducirla a los efectos inmediatos de los cambios fisiológicos de la pubertad o al resultado de influencias culturales o sociales particulares. Los conflictos del adolescente con sus padres y figuras de autoridad, que se expresan en la rebeldía, el oposicionismo y el desafío, están relacionados, desde un punto de vista psicoanalítico, con la actualización de los conflictos edípicos. Es en razón de esta concepción que el psicoanálisis aporta una explicación específica y distinta a aquella que formulan otras disciplinas psicológicas o sociales acerca de las luchas intergeneracionales. Lejos estamos de pensar ahora, como en los primeros tiempos de la Sociedad de Viena, que la adolescencia podría sobrellevarse sin conflictos si la ausencia de prohibiciones internas para la relación heterosexual y la satisfacción pulsional estuvieran garantizadas por circunstancias sociales favorables. Adolescencias, recorridos y contextos. Una historia de sus concepciones psicoanalíticas permite, tanto al novel estudioso como al más experimentado, un acercamiento histórico y sistemático a la producción psicoanalítica sobre la adolescencia, ofreciendo un medio de acceso a importantes elementos teóricos indispensables para la reflexión acerca de la juventud.
Clinical and economic analysis of using the thrombodynamics test in patients undergoing treatment with assisted reproductive technologies in the Russian Federation
Authors: Shchurov D. G. , Dombrovskiy V. S.
Published: July 2021

Objective: early assessming the clinical and economic efficacy of the thrombodynamics test in infertile patients undergoing treatment with assisted reproductive technologies (ART), as well as the impact of this test on the health care budget of the Russian Federation.

Material and methods. The study was carried out on the basis of statistical data on the number of ART cycles, the proportion of patients with hypercoagulation and normocoagulation of blood, data on the clinical effectiveness of ART programs in Russia, including the dependency on the status of blood coagulation, as well as cost data. The analysis was carried out according to three scenarios: 1) thrombodynamics test with subsequent correction of the revealed hypercoagulability status before in vitro fertilization (IVF); 2) thrombodynamics test with the subsequent refusal to perform IVF in patients with hypercoagulability; 3) thrombodynamics test with subsequent correction of the revealed hypercoagulability status before the start of the frozen-thawed embryo transfer. The criteria for clinical effectiveness were the following indicators: the number of children born and the number of potentially saved life years. Clinical and economic efficacy criteria included: total direct medical costs; incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER); changes in the amount of total direct medical costs; resizing effectively and ineffectively spent funds.

Results. The use of the thrombodynamics test will potentially increase the number of children born by 21–33 children and the number of years of life saved, with discounting considered, within the range of 923–1448 years per 1000 ART cycles, depending on the study scenario. The smallest ICER values were observed in Scenario 2, and amounted to 112,120 rubles for 1 child born and 2519 rubles for 1 saved year of life. The highest ICER values were obtained in Scenario 1: 275,576 rubles for 1 child born and 6191 rubles for 1 saved year of life. The use of the thrombodynamics test in women with infertility before ART in Russia will require an increase in direct medical costs from 174 to 425 million rubles (by 1–5% of the initial level of costs) in absolute terms, depending on the chosen scenario with a time horizon of 1 year.

Conclusion. Due to the expected significant improvement in treatment outcomes and the small amount of additional costs, the introduction of the thrombodynamics test into the routine practice of assessing blood clotting in infertile patients before the start of the ART cycle is potentially cost-effective, but further clinical studies are required for a more accurate economic assessment.
Principles of Developing a Software and Hardware Complex for Crew Intelligent Support and Training Level Assessment
Authors: Greshnikov I.I. , Kuravsky L.S. , Yuryev G.A.
Published: July 2021

Presented is a new approach to aircraft crew intelligent support, which is based on comparing flight fragments (maneuvers) under study with the relevant patterns contained in the database and representing the system “empirical intelligence”. Principal components of this approach are four new metrics for comparing flight fragments, viz.: the Euclidean metric in the space of wavelet coefficients; the likelihood metric of eigenvalue trajectories for transformations of activity parameters; the Kohonen metric in the space of wavelet coefficients; the likelihood metric for comparing gaze trajectories. Features of the presented approach are: the presence of an “intelligent component” that is contained in empirical data and can be flexibly changed as they accumulate; the use of integral comparisons of the flight fragments under study and video oculography data with relevant patterns of various types and performance quality from a specialized database, with transferring characteristics of the nearest pattern from this specialized database to the fragment under study; applying a complex combination of the methods for stochastic processes analysis and multivariate statistical techniques.

Authors: Halder Sambhu Nath
Published: July 2021

In the Context of rapid increase in electronic resources the reading habits of the public library user community are examined. A representative sample was drawn from a large and heterogeneous population following a stratified sampling technique. The reading habits of the users were identified using several parameters adopted to achieve the objectives of the study. Findings of the study revealed that 41.82% of respondents visit the library 2-4 times per month, followed by 22.05% used to visit it 2-3 times per week, while only 16.82% of the respondents visit the library almost regularly. However, the study indicated that electronic documents have an important role in enhancing people's reading habits. It is recommended that the library needs to emphasize on collecting both printed as well as digital resources. While reading habits of public library users are stable, they were quite comfortable reading in a digital environment.

Published: July 2021

The school library is the birthplace of dreams and fantasies. The stories heard from the grandmother, mother, aunts and uncles get a reality when the children touch and smell the books, and feel the colour of the pictures. The pulse of the students is probably felt in the best way in a school library. In this paper, the real situations in the libraries of the Navodaya Vidyalaya India (boarding schools supported and subsidized by the central Government) have been discussed. These networks of school libraries are scattered all over India, with a special purpose to reach the unreached. These libraries are always buzzing with a lot of activities – be it book exhibitions, library quiz, discussion forum etc. From the simple of the simplest of exploring a journey through a book, to searching information through e-granthalaya (the software used), the students are beaming with ocean of information. The book week programme, story hour period, library quiz are only some of the activities mentioned. The paper will also discuss the dynamic effort of the librarians of these schools in trying to cater to fulfill the dreams of the students. The special effort of the librarians in training the students to love books is stated. Taking care of books by making special book covers, environment friendly book supports and book stands etc. are also explained in this paper. Last, but not the least, the paper brings into forefront the ways to harness a cordial relation between the librarian and the students.

Published: July 2021

The domain of library and information science is always on the move and LIS professionals are ardent users of emerging technologies. This research work discusses an emerging possibility in the LIS domain, which applies data science principles and techniques in the bibliographic world. The concept is known as library carpentry and involves different data wrangling techniques to get insight of bibliographic datasets. The discussion starts with the basic concepts of library carpentry and systematically reveals the components and methods of library carpentry with the help of three case studies. The case studies represent a variety of actual problem solving projects by using open datasets and open source data wrangling software called Openrefine. The case study (I) deals with the application of library carpentry in e-book selection by taking into consideration socio-academic web space data, the case study (II) shows how is it possible to quickly get an overview of institutional contributions to open access domain by applying library carpentry methods and the case study (III) demonstrates the process of gender analysis with the help of a name-to-gender inference service and by applying data wrangling techniques. Each case study is supported by a comprehensive and representative dataset to support and promote real-life problem solving in processional sphere by applying library carpentry methods.
Open Access Indian Publications: An Empirical Study of DOAJ
Authors: Panda Subhajit
Published: July 2021

There are two general strategies for achieving Open Access (OA) to scholarly communication, the gold road and the green road. The largest and authoritative gold road OA database is the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) indexing all the standard OA journals meeting the DOAJ criteria of inclusion. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the contribution of Indian publications to the global OA movement. The analysis of the present study was done based on a total dataset of 289 research publications of Indian OA journal as imported from the DOAJ database. The findings of the study reveal that Indian OA journals account for only 2% of the total coverage of DOAJ. Among them, journals in the field of Medicine alone account for 79% and approximately 73% of journals are published in both print & electronic medium with PDF as the preferred file format, DOI as preferred permanent article identifier and English as the preferred language of publication. Almost 89% of Indian OA journals provide full-text crawl permission, while 75% of them provide download statistics. All the Indian journals covered under DOAJ are peer-reviewed and out of them, most of the journals (76%) are double-blind peer-reviewed. Indian OA publications with CC BY-NC-SA license cover the highest percentage (75%) and 206 journals (71%) do not charge APC. In majority of Indian OA journals (89%), the author doesn’t hold either the copyright or publishing rights without restrictions from the journal publishers. It is important to note that only two journals (~1%) satisfied the requirements of DOAJ Seal.
Revisiting Sayers: One Hundred Years of Canons of Classification
Authors: Dutta Bidyarthi
Published: July 2021

William Charles Berwick Sayers (1881-1960), an English librarian, made outstanding contributions to the development of a theory of library classification. He is referred to as the first grammarian of library classification. Even though he did not design any classification scheme, he interpreted and systematised the ideas of other theoreticians to formulate guidelines for designing library classification schemes. Sayers presented his theory of classification by stating 29 principles, called Canons, in 1915. He desired to make a comparative study of his canons with Richardson's Criteria, Bliss' Principles and Ranganathan's Canons. This paper presents a comparative study of Sayers' Canons (29 Canons), Bliss' Principles (32 Principles) and Ranganathan's Canons (43 Canons). Richardson stated only five Criteria in the form of general instructional statements these are not included in this study. Sayers' two Canons are similar to both Bliss' Principles and Ranganathan's Canons. Bliss' three Principles show highest similarity with Sayers' five Canons. Ranganathan's three Canons show highest similarity with Sayers' Canons, which are Canon of Currency (Verbal plane), Canon of Reticence (Verbal plane) and Canon of Hierarchy (Notational plane) respectively.

Perception of Library Professionals regarding HRD Climate: An Empirical Study
Authors: Renu  , Kadyan Sanjiv
Published: July 2021

The present paper is an attempt to study the effect of gender and nature of job on perception of Human Resource Development (HRD) climate among professional library employees. The primary data was collected from professionals working in different agricultural university libraries (regular and deemed) of five northern Indian states. Descriptive survey design was adopted for this study. A sample of 96 male and female library professionals with different jobs constituted the sample for the present study. Mean, standard deviation, ‘t’ test and ANOVA were used to analyze the data. The analysis showed that gender has no impact on perception of HRD climate, both male and female were equally satisfied in the context of HRD climate while impact of nature of job was observed. Permanent employees were found more satisfied with HRD climate than respondents working part-time staff and on and ad-hoc basis. Designation of library professional also influences perception of HRD climate.

Published: July 2021

Amaç: Bu araştırma, total diz ve kalça protezi ameliyatı geçiren hastalarda kalıcı üriner kateteri çıkarmadan önce kateteri klemplemenin idrar miktarı ve miksiyon süresine etkisini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Örneklemi total diz ve kalça protezi ameliyatı geçiren 60 hasta oluşturmuştur. Yaş grubu ve cinsiyete göre randomize edilerek hastalar çalışma kapsamına alınmıştır. Deney grubundaki hastalarda kalıcı üriner kateteri çıkarma istemi verildikten sonra, idrarın mesanede birikmesi için hastaların kalıcı üriner kateteri 3 saat süreyle üst üste iki kez klemplenmiştir ve her 3 saatin sonunda klemp açılarak 5 dakika süreyle idrarın akması sağlanmıştır. Kontrol grubundaki hastalarda ise klempleme yapılmaksızın kateter çıkarılmıştır. Kateter çıkarıldıktan sonra ilk idrar yapmada çıkan idrar miktarı ölçülmüş olup ilk miksiyon süresi dakika olarak hesaplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Üriner kateter çıkarıldıktan sonra deney ve kontrol grubundaki hastaların ortalama idrar miktarı sırasıyla 293.50±239.53 ml, 204.00±195.25 ml’dir. Deney ve kontrol grubundaki hastaların ortalama miksiyon süresi sırasıyla 214.63±185.72 dk, 211.16±192.77 dk’dır. Kalıcı üriner kateteri çıkarmadan önce klemplemenin idrar miktarını ve miksiyon süresini etkilemediği saptanmıştır.
Sonuç: Bu araştırma sonuçları, total diz ve kalça protezi ameliyatı geçiren hastalarda kalıcı üriner kateter çıkarılmadan önce kateteri klemplemenin idrar miktarına ve miksiyon süresine etkisinin olmadığını göstermiştir.
Visão de mundo e bifocalidade em Faïza Guène e Junot Diaz
Authors: Valença Letícia Ritter de Abreu , Mathias Dionei
Published: July 2021

Traçando um paralelo entre Doria e Lola, protagonistas respectivamente de Amanhã, numa boa (2006), de Faïza Guène e A Fantástica vida breve de Oscar Wao (2009) de Junot Díaz, este estudo analisa o relacionamento materno e o despertar da sexualidade, em duas personagens do contexto de fluxos migratórios. Com base nos conceitos de mundividência de Carlos Reis e de bifocalidade de Steven Vertovec, este artigo discute as modalidades de interação entre mãe e filha, isto é, entre primeira e segunda geração de atores sociais, com uma história de migração. Na primeira parte, a atenção se volta para os conflitos entre mãe e filha e para o modo como elas adaptam suas visões de mundo, a fim de concretizar suas existências, respectivamente na França e nos Estados Unidos. Na segunda parte, o foco recai sobre a experiência do despertar da sexualidade e o modo como a mãe marroquina de Doria e a progenitora dominicana de Lola influenciam essa etapa da vida de suas filhas.
influência de Shakespeare em Grande sertão

Published: July 2021

Este artigo aborda como é atualizado, no Grande sertão: veredas, um motivo fundamental para a tragédia Rei Lear: a escolha amorosa envolvendo três mulheres relacionadas ao ouro, à prata e ao chumbo. A simbologia subjacente aos metais é determinante para a caracterização das personagens femininas tanto do romance quanto da tragédia, analisadas, aqui, em perspectiva comparativa. Em Rei Lear, os metais preciosos, o ouro e a prata, estão associados a Goneril e Reagan, as filhas más que herdam o reino, enquanto Cordélia, a filha bondosa e preferida do rei, é representada pelo chumbo e acaba deserdada. Em Grande sertão: veredas, o ouro e a prata figuram na caracterização de Nhorinhá, a prostituta por quem Riobaldo se apaixona, e Otacília, sua esposa, enquanto Diadorim, o verdadeiro amor, está relacionado ao chumbo e permanece sublimado. Assim, os metais preciosos simbolizam, em ambas as obras, o equívoco amoroso, enquanto o chumbo guarda a mulher certa – Cordélia na tragédia, e Diadorim no romance. Diadorim e Cordélia possuem, ainda, outras analogias: ambas são filhas de grandes líderes, dedicam fidelidade irrestrita ao pai, possuem ligação com o arquétipo da donzela-guerreira e suas mortes representam momentos de anagnórisis para Riobaldo e Lear.
De quem é a culpa? Os narradores suspeitos de Divórcio e Dom Casmurro
Authors: Sereza Haroldo Ceravolo
Published: July 2021

Em Divórcio, romance do escritor Ricardo Lísias, após uma separação dolorosa, o narrador, em primeira pessoa, dá início a um processo de desconstrução da imagem da mulher a partir de fragmentos, cada vez menores, de um diário íntimo que ele encontra por acaso. Para ele, tal diário é uma prova indiscutível de que ela o traiu e da falta de ética também profissional da sua companheira, uma jornalista. A história segue, desse modo, uma trama muito semelhante à de Bentinho e Capitu em Dom Casmurro, de Machado de Assis, mas seus instrumentos de deslegitimação da companheira acompanham questões e formas pertinentes aos novos tempos.
Triste fim de Clarice Lispector ou A paixão segundo Lima Barreto: a linguagem precária de Macabéa e Clara dos Anjos
Authors: Chagas Gabriel
Published: July 2021

O presente artigo tem como objetivo criar uma leitura comparativa entre os romances Clara dos Anjos, de Lima Barreto, e A hora da estrela, de Clarice Lispector. Para tanto, a tentativa de elaborar uma linguagem própria será o tema convergente entre as narrativas, a partir das experiências ficcionais de suas protagonistas. Como aparato teórico, a investigação parte de uma pesquisa bibliográfica que percorre a tradição pós-colonial, aqui indicada pelos escritos do filósofo Achille Mbembe, da teórica Gayatri Spivak e do psiquiatra Frantz Fanon. A abordagem requisita também a noção de enquadramento proposta pela filósofa norte-americana Judith Butler, cujas premissas permitem uma melhor discussão em torno do aspecto não-hegemônico dos corpos, chave de leitura fundamental para as personagens estudadas neste trabalho. Sendo assim, tendo como base o método comparativo de análise, o artigo demonstra em que medida a precariedade da linguagem pode ser utilizada como ferramenta na leitura desses dois romances. Com isso, propõe um caminho interpretativo para as duas obras sob uma perspectiva contemporânea, arraigada nos marcadores sociais da diferença e na formação de sociedades coloniais.
Imaginação poética e técnica neobarroca no romance A serviço del-Rei, de Autran Dourado
Authors: Leite Thaís Seabra
Published: July 2021

O presente estudo consiste em uma leitura crítica de A serviço del-Rei, de Autran D/ourado, contemplando o caráter metaficcional da mediação narrativa e a formulação de um alter ego do autor. Além desses pontos, recebe destaque o diálogo que o volume estabelece com outras obras do escritor mineiro e da literatura ocidental a partir da composição de metáforas. A fim de cumprir a finalidade a que se propõe, a pesquisa tem como fundamento teórico os estudos sobre metáfora e imaginação poética de Philip Wheelwright (1968) e Gaston Bachelard (1990, 2001, 2002), e as reflexões sobre a ficção do século XX que Haroldo de Campos (1972) e Severo Sarduy (1972) denominam neobarroca.

Background: Suicidality is a broad term that encompasses suicidal ideation, suicide plans and suicide attempts. Suicide cuts across all age groups however the young adulthood phase is a critical time for the onset of suicidal behaviours. Often suicide is underreported because of the shame, as such it is a neglected public health problem in our environment. This study seeks to describe the pattern of suicidality and reported health seeking behaviour amongst young people in Bayelsa State.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the national youth service corps orientation camp, Bayelsa amongst 387 corps members. With the aid of an electronic, self-administered questionnaire adapted from the WHO STEPwise manual on non-communicable diseases; information on socio demographic features, suicide ideation, plan and attempt were obtained. Data was analysed using IBM SPSS version 25.0.Results: The mean age was 25.37 (SD±2.38) years. Most participants were males (58.9%) and single (95.3%). Prevalence of suicidal ideation, plans and attempts was 7.5%, 4.4% and 3.1% respectively. Above one third (35.4%) of those who made suicidal plans in the past 12 months, actually attempted suicide, 4.4% and 2.6% of the respondents had a positive family history of suicide attempt and suicide death respectively.Conclusions: Young adults are a critical population for suicidality. Public health awareness on mental health promotion and uptake of mental health service should be encouraged. Decriminalisation of attempted suicide in Nigeria and better surveillance will enable more effective suicide prevention strategies.

Background: This study aimed to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practice of solid waste disposal among residents of the Husuren-Kwari community in Kano, Nigeria.Methods: A non-experimental descriptive survey research design was adopted and data were obtained from June to October 2019. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 45 households as the samples. The data was collected using a semi-structured questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using a statistical package for social sciences software.Results: In this study, more than half (53.3%) of the respondents were ≥36 years and 80.0% of them were males. About 42.2% of the respondents had a secondary level of education and 44.4% of the respondents were farmers. Close nine-tenths (88.9%) of the respondents agreed that proper waste disposal is any means that we can get rid of unwanted materials and 84.4% know the local method of disposing of waste. Only 24.4% of the respondents were aware of the modern methods of solid waste disposal. Little above half (51.1%) of the respondents were using the burning method to dispose of the waste, and close to half (46.7%) of the respondents were dumping the waste in front of the house.Conclusions: The finding reported a poor level of knowledge, negative attitude, and poor level of practice regarding waste disposal among the people of this community. The government and non-governmental organizations should organize a massive campaign on the importance of proper waste disposal and to create awareness on proper waste disposal practices.

Background: Initiation of breastfeeding within one hour after delivery plays a vital role in a newborns life by not only increasing their survival rate but also reducing many life-threatening diseases in the newborn. The aim of the study was to determine frequency of early initiation of breastfeeding among primiparous mothers in a rural district of Thatta, Pakistan.Methods: This study was conducted using survey data extracted from a cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 on prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding and factors associated with it among women in Thatta. The outcome was early initiation of breastfeeding. To determine factors associated with it, multi variable logistic regression was carried out.Results: The study showed that 30.3% of primiparous mothers in Thatta initiated breastfeeding within one hour of birth and knowledge of mothers (OR=9.76, 95% CI: 1.99-17.59), place of birth (OR=3.51, 95% CI: 1.32-9.31) and support of health care professional at health facility (OR=2.93, 95% CI: 1.09-7.86) are the factors significantly associated with early initiation of breastfeeding among primiparous mothers.Conclusions: In order to enhance the early initiation of breastfeeding, it is important for health care professionals to emphasize on the effect of pre-lacteal feeding during and support breastfeeding immediately after delivery, especially among women who had given birth for the first time.

Background: Physiotherapists have long been recognized as important providers of services for people with disability. In Sri Lanka the concept of community physiotherapy has not emerged yet. The present study aimed to identify the need for ‘community physiotherapy service’ in Kandy district, Sri Lanka. Methods: A community service projection community based rehabilitation, of three years was conducted by the department of physiotherapy, faculty of allied health sciences, University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka in 2017-2019 in collaboration with department of social service and social welfare of Kandy district secretariat, Sri Lanka.Results: One hundred and seventy participants with physical disabilities were included in the study 94 (55.29%) were males (mean age; 33.57 (SD ±23.17) and 76 (44.71%) were females (mean age; 33.14 (SD ±24.98). The pediatric population was 41.76% (N=71) followed by 38.82% of adults (N=66) and 19.41% of elderly patients (N=33) of the total population. The highest number of PWD had pediatric conditions (39.41%), followed by musculoskeletal (31.76%), neurological (15.88%), geriatric (8.82%) and cardio-respiratory (4.12%) conditions. The majority (55.88%) of all the people with disabilities who visited the clinics were in need for further physiotherapy consultation and follow up.Conclusions: In Kandy district of Sri Lanka alone, number of people with physical disabilities who are in need of continuous physiotherapy follow ups is high compared to services already available. Conducting a successful community-based rehabilitation program in Sri Lanka as a whole, require having a specialized health care practitioner to the primary health care team; ‘a community physiotherapist’.

Published: July 2021

Background: Mobile health and mobile phone technology have become increasingly noticed as favorable communication channels for the prevention of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) by reducing the unhealthy behaviors of NCDs. The study was carried out to assess the effect of the health messaging with the Viber application on modifiable risk factors of NCDs.Methods: A community-based quasi-experimental study was conducted among a total of 240 community members who were 30 to 60 years old selected from two villages in Twantay township with a one year intervention. Face-to-face interviews with all participants using the WHO STEP survey questionnaire and measurements of behavioral and metabolic risk factors of NCDs were carried out at baseline and after 12 months follow up. Changes in behavior and metabolic risk factors between the intervention and control group were analyzed using mixed-effects random-intercept linear regression modeling with propensity score adjustment. Because of the small sample in smoking, smokeless tobacco and alcohol users, the Wilcoxon rank-sum (Mann-Whitney) test was used to compare the changes between the two groups.Results: The amount of smoking and smokeless tobacco use among current users in the intervention group was reduced after the intervention (p<0.05). Of metabolic risk factors, participants in the intervention group had a significant net reduction in fasting blood sugar with a mean change relative to controls of -18.7 mg/dl 95% CI (-32.83, -4.56, p=0.010). No significant mean reduction was seen in other behavioral or metabolic risk factors.Conclusions: The study results showed that intervention affected a reduction in some behavioral and metabolic risk factors of NCDs.
