Os transtornos de personalidade e abordagens terapêuticas
Authors: Figueiredo Inês
Published: December 2022

Introdução: O diagnóstico e a classificação de Transtorno de Personalidade são uma área de debate com alguma controvérsia e complexidade, seja quer no benefício da sua distribuição em categorias ou numa abordagem dimensional, seja no facto de se considerar uma verdadeira doença ou não e no quão prejudicial isso possa ser. O impacto funcional é nuclear da maioria destas patologias pelo que deve ser um componente central na avaliação e abordagem terapêutica. Objectivo: Rever as características dos Transtornos de Personalidade, identificar os traços maladaptivos de forma a melhor adaptar a respetiva terapêutica e analisar quais os tratamentos mais eficazes. Método: foi feita uma revisão sistemática com base na PubMed onde foi usado o termo MeSH “Transtorno de Personalidade”. Resultados: O Transtorno de Personalidade borderline é a que detém de maior evidência, sendo que os fármacos mais usados são os antipsicóticos, com eficácia evidenciada para a olanzapina, risperidona, haloperidol, tiotixeno e ainda no antidepressivo fluoxetina. Nos Transtornos de Personalidade do Cluster C e Transtorno Narcísico, concluiu-se que uma abordagem cognitiva e psicodinâmica resulta em efeitos positivos médios a elevados, embora seja claro que este subtipo de personalidade beneficie mais com a  mesma. Conclusão: A evidência sugere que Transtornos de Personalidade comórbidos ou latentes estão associados a uma menor adesão ao tratamento e a piores outcomes quando se trata de doenças do Eixo 1. Conclui-se que, na generalidade, não há informação suficiente para ser possível tirar conclusões quanto à eficácia das intervenções farmacológicas, sendo a maioria da evidência relativa ao Transtorno de Personalidade Borderline.

Published: December 2022

Wet noodle is a food product that is liked by all levels of society. The main ingredient for making wet noodle is wheat flour which must be imported from other countries. For this reason, it is necessary to look for other alternative raw materials, namely kimpul flour. Red dragon fruit can be used to increase nutritional value because it contains antioxidant and improves product appearance because it contains natural dyes. The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of the proportion of wheat and kimpul flours, as well as the concentration of dragon fruit on the quality of dragon fruit wet noodle. This study used a factorial randomized block design (RBD) with the first factor being the proportion of wheat flour and kimpul flour (T1 = 40%:60%, T2 = 50%:50% and T3 = 60%:40%) and the second factor was dragon fruit concentration (N1 = 20% and N2 = 30%) with 3 replications. The results showed that the proportion of wheat flour and kimpul flour had a significant effect on protein content, elasticity, and organoleptic tests. While the concentration of dragon fruit significantly affected the water content, carbohydrate content, elasticity, and organoleptic tests. The conclusion of this research was the treatment of T3N2 (proportion of wheat flour and kimpul flour 60%: 40% and dragon fruit concentration 30%) became the selected treatment with parameters of water content 48.51%, ash content 1.72%, protein content 6 0.04%, fat content 2.64%, carbohydrate content 41.09%, and elasticity of 0.39, and has a total preference percentage of 100% color, 96.7% aroma, 100.0% taste and 96.7% texture.

Published: December 2022

İnlice yüksek sülfidasyon epitermal altın yatağı, Erenlerdağ-Alacadağ Volkanik Kompleksi (EAVK) içerisinde ve Konya ilinin yaklaşık 40 km güneybatısında yer almaktadır. Çalışma alanında stratigrafik konumlarına göre alttan üste doğru andezit, blok ve kül akıntısı, bazaltik andezit lav akıntısı ve andezit lav akıntısı olmak üzere dört birime ayrılan volkanik ve volkano-sedimanter kayaçlar, yamaç molozu ve alüvyonlar tarafından uyumsuz olarak örtülürler. Andezitler içerisinde gözlenen alterasyonların merkezinden dışa doğru sırasıyla kovuklu-şeker ve kalsedonik/opalin dokulu kuvars damarlarından oluşan silisleşmeler, ileri arjilik, ortaç arjilik ve piropilitik alterasyon zonları tanımlanmıştır. Bu alterasyon topluluklarına ek olarak sadece Merkez Zonun derin kesimlerinde gözlenen manyetit, kuvars, biyotit ve anhidrit içerikli potasik bir alterasyon zonu da tanımlanmıştır. Cevherleşmeler, yaygın olarak pirit, sırasıyla daha az oranda enarjit, kalkopirit, kalkosin, kovellin, sfalerit ve markazit gibi sülfid mineralleri ile temsil edilmektedir. Petrografik olarak altın taneleri özellikle sülfid minerallerinin oksidasyona maruz kaldığı kesimlerde saçınımlı olarak 2 ile 6 µm arası boyutlarda gözlenmektedir.

Alterasyon zonlarındaki jeokimyasal değişimin derecesi silisleşmelerden piropilitik alterasyona doğru azalmakta olup, bu değişim, alterasyon zonlarında gözlenen mineralojik değişimle uyumludur. Bununla birlikte taze andezitlerden ileri arjilik alterasyon ve silisleşmelere doğru özellikle As, Sb, Bi, Ag ve Au gibi elementler zenginleşme gösterirken, Zn ve Ni’deki fakirleşmeler belirginleşmektedir. Ayrıca yapılan çalışmalar kalsedonik/opalin dokulu kuvars damarlarındaki Pb ile ileri arjilik alterasyon ve silisleşmelerdeki düşük Rb/Sr değerlerinin en azından İnlice bölgesi için-jeokimyasal bir kılavuz olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
Satellite-transition double cross-polarization HETCOR under fast MAS
Authors: Hung Ivan , Gan Zhehong
Published: December 2022

Double-cross polarization to the satellite-transitions (STs) of half-integer quadrupolar nuclei is demonstrated using proton-detected heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) under fast magic-angle spinning (MAS). By placing the rf frequency away from the central-transition (CT) and selective to the STs, average Hamiltonian theory shows a scaled effective rf field with a phase equal to the complex ST spinning sideband being irradiated. Such an effective rf field can excite and spinlock STs but the phase spread usually leads to signal cancellation in one-step excitation or cross polarization experiments. The cancellation does not occur for two-step double cross-polarization (DCP) HETCOR experiments such that high efficiencies can be obtained. With careful magic-angle calibration, ST and double-quantum ST (DQST) HETCOR experiments are demonstrated with the 35Cl nuclei in histidine·HCl·H2O. These experiments provide additional information over the commonly observed CT spectra and near isotropic resolution in the case of DQST of spin S = 3/2 quadrupolar nuclei.

Iron(IV) Alkyl Hydrazido Complexes: Electronic Structure, Fe–C Bond Homolysis, and N–C Bond Forming Migration Reactions
Authors: Bhutto Samuel , McWilliams Sean , Hooper Reagan , Mercado Brandon , Holland Patrick
Published: December 2022

High-valent iron-alkyl complexes are rare, as they are typically prone to Fe–C bond homolysis. We show here an unusual way to access formally iron(IV) alkyl complexes through double silylation of iron(I) alkyl dinitrogen complexes to form an NNSi2 group. When the alkyl group is trimethylsilylmethyl, the formally iron(IV) compound is stable at room temperature. Spectroscopically validated computations show that the disilylhydrazido(2–) ligand stabilizes the formal iron(IV) oxidation state through a strongly covalent Fe–N -interaction, in which one -bond fits an "inverted field" description. This means that the two bonding electrons are localized on the metal and not the ligand, and an iron(II) resonance structure is a significant contributor as with the phenyl analogue. However, in contrast to the phenyl analogue which has an S = 1 ground state, the ground state of the alkyl complex is S = 2, and this places one electron in the * orbital and weakens the Fe–N bonding, leading to longer Fe–N bonds. The reactivity of these hydrazido(2–) complexes has an interesting dependence on the specific alkyl group. When the alkyl group is methyl, the formally iron(IV) species undergoes migration of the carbon-based ligand to the NNSi2 group to form a new N–C bond, followed by an intriguing isomerization of the hydrazido ligand. This reactivity is not observed with the bulkier trimethylsilylmethyl complex. When the alkyl group is benzyl, yet another reactivity pathway is evident: the Fe–C bond homolyzes to give a three-coordinate iron(III) complex with a hydrazido(2–) ligand. DFT calculations are used to explain the differences between the behavior with the different alkyl groups. Overall, these formally iron(IV) compounds display a diverse set of reaction pathways associated with the specific alkyl groups.

Published: December 2022

Controlled incorporation of nitrogen into macromolecular skeletons is a long-standing challenge whose resolution would enable the preparation of soft materials with the scalability of man-made plastics and functionality of Nature’s proteins. Nylons and polyurethanes notwithstanding, nitrogen-rich polymer backbones remain scarce, and their synthesis typically lacks precision. Here we report a strategy that begins to address this limitation founded on a mechanistic discovery: ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of carbodiimides followed by carbodiimide derivatization. An iridium guanidinate complex was found to initiate and catalyze ROMP of N-aryl and N-alkyl cyclic carbodiimides. Nucleophilic addition to the resulting polycarbodiimides enabled the preparation of polyureas, polythioureas, and polyguanidinates with varied architectures. This work advances the foundations of metathesis chemistry and opens the door to systematic investigations of structure-folding-property relationships in nitrogen-rich macromolecules.
Li+ Conduction in Glass-forming Single-ion Conducting Polymers with and without Ion Clusters Studied in the Impedance Frequency Regime
Authors: Liu Jiacheng , Schaefer Jennifer
Published: December 2022

Single-ion conducting polymer electrolytes have been studied for their advantages such as high transference number, lower interfacial resistance with electrodes, and ability to accommodate low-cost manufacturing for battery applications. However, amorphous poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) and related electrolytes are limited by their ion transport rate that is coupled with -EO- segmental motion. Polymer electrolytes with ion-clusters can potentially provide fast transport in ion-channels, because the ion cluster phase is ionophilic and its energy landscape is continuous. In this contribution, we report on single-ion conducting polymers with varying polymer backbone types that contain delocalized tethered anions (-sulfonyl(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (-TFSI-)) prepared from side-chain monomers capable of free-radical polymerization. The polymer backbone type is found to have strong implications for ion aggregation and nanoscale morphology. The new side-chain ionic polymer with non-polar backbone (polystyrene derivative) is found to self-assemble with lamellar ordering of nanoscale ion clusters. Meanwhile, side-chain ionic polymers with polar backbones (polyacrylate and polymethacylate derivatives) were found to be less ordered and were compared to the former to generate insight on ion transport mechanisms. We show that, in the impedance frequency regime, regardless of the ion aggregation morphology that the ionic conductivity is related to α relaxation which is similar to glass-forming liquids, though with certain degrees of decoupling. Nonetheless, these results do not preclude that fast cation dynamics exist locally in the ion cluster phase.

Published: December 2022

Starting with ferrocyanide ions in acidic aqueous solution, cyano-ferrate(II) species are post-synthetically grafted to the nodes of a mesoporous zirconium-based MOF, NU-1000. As indicated by single-crystal X-ray crystallography, grafting occurs by substitution of cyanide ligands by node-based hydroxo and oxo ligands, rather than by substitution of node aqua ligands by cyanide ligands as bridges between Fe(II) and Zr(IV). The installed moieties yield a broad absorption band that is tentatively ascribed to iron-to-zirconium charge-transfer. Consistent with Fe(III/II) redox activity, a modest fraction of the installed iron complexes are directly electrochemically addressable.

The research was conducted to open up further unexploited areas for gold mineral exploitation in part of Ilesha schist belt using geological and geophysical approach. Itagunmodi was used as a control in order to determine the mineralization potentials of Osu as a case study. Both towns lie within Ilesha schist Belt, Southwestern Nigeria. The residual magnetic anomaly map of the study area revealed magnetic low in the two towns indicating the presence of geological structure serving as a conduit for mineralizing fluid. Airborne radiometry interpretation showed that both Itagunmodi and Osu are affected by hydrothermal alteration which is an indication of gold mineralization. Overall interpretation of aeromagnetic and airborne radiometry datasets show that hydrothermal alteration generally is associated with fault and shear zones in the study area. The isolated altered zones were subjected to further investigation by using six samples of stream sediment collected along Imo (Itagunmodi) and Olomumu (Osu) stream channels for the grain size and geochemical analyses. The results from the grain size analysis revealed that sediments in both areas are fine to medium grained, poorly sorted, fine to moderately fine skewed, which implied fluvial depositional settings, and revealed that the occurrences of gold mineralization in both areas are of secondary deposits (alluvial). The concentration of identified trace elements as related to their threshold values revealed similar contents of low to high concentrations in both areas. The results of the analyses observed in Itagunmodi are similar to that of Osu, which implies that Osu is also mineralized will gold deposit.

Published: December 2022

The Nilotic cattle of South Sudan support the socio-economic livelihoods of many rural and suburban communities, but their productive/reproductive characteristics are still poorly understood. This study investigated the growth performance of the Nilotic cattle under traditional husbandry system, by determining their live-body weight (BW), degree of maturity of weight (DM), absolute growth rate (AGR), relative growth rate (RGR), absolute maturing rate (AMR), and Kleiber ratio (KR), and how these traits change during postnatal development. The experimental procedure involved the measurement of heart girth (HG) and body length (BL) of 125 male and 136 female calves from birth up to the age of 16 months. Subsequently, the BW, DM, AGR, RGR, AMR, and KR of each calf were calculated. The results showed that on average, male calves weighed 4.68 kg, 7.98 kg, 2.23 kg, 10.23 kg, 2.21 kg, 2.24 kg, 3.97 kg, 10.38 kg, and 15.79 kg heavier (p<0.05) than females at birth, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16 months of age, respectively; and had the highest AGR (♂; 0.163 kg/day vs ♀; 0.139 kg/day) and KR (♂; 0.674 vs ♀; 0.591), while female calves had the highest (p<0.05) RGR (♀; 0.070%/day vs ♂; 0.065%/day), AMR (♀; 0.095% vs ♂; 0.056%), and DM (♀; 0.111~0.567 vs ♂; 0.072~0.340). Nevertheless, in both sexes, AGR, RGR, AMR, and KR values were higher (p<0.05) during the pre-weaning period than during the post-weaning period, though their respective declining rate was greater (p<0.05) in females (69.11%, 83.41%, 72.78%, and 75.09%) than in males (14.08%, 54.01%, 39.87%, and 41.94%). These results provide the first evidence for a fast growing and maturing pattern during the pre-weaning period in Nilotic cattle.
Effective Management Practices Of Tomato Leafminer- Tuta Absoluta (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae): A Review
Authors: Kurmi Bramha Nand , Tiwari Krishna Hari , Roy Nitish Kumar , Sigdel Binayak , Pokharel Prasanna
Published: December 2022

Tomato leafminer (Tuta absoluta) is an economically and physiologically important oligophagous pest (a pest which feeds on plants of a particular group) of solanaceous crops, particularly tomato. The lifecycle of tomato leafminers possesses complete metamorphosis, which means that all four phases are present in its lifetime. The larval stage, which feeds by mining the mesophyll of tomato leaves and fruits, is the most destructive of the four phases. The insect population is rapidly increasing, obliterating and consuming crop fields all over the world. Their expansion has reduced the quantity of high-quality tomato produce, resulting in an economic loss. To counteract this trend, the pest population must be controlled before it reaches crisis proportions. Several studies and experiments have been undertaken, and several management approaches have been applied to control T. absoluta, but they have gradually proved ineffectual due to their feeding and damage behaviour, reproductive potential, and resistance development to applied treatments. They have been subjected to a variety of chemical control approaches. But slowly, they became immune to the majority of contact insecticides and pesticides used against them. As a result, the emerging strategy for now is the integration of all management methods, including physical, biological, biochemical, cultural, genetic, and Integrated Pest Management (IPM), in order to discourage the development of resistance in them and obliterate their populations both inside greenhouses and open fields, which could be possible with the government’s and concerned authorities’ ongoing support.

Published: December 2022

Mango, Mangifera indica (L.) is the important fruit crop in production in Nepal. Sternochetus mangiferae; Fabricius (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is major monophagous insect pest which causes loss of both quantitative and qualitative value. To mitigate this problem, we designed and conducted experiment in Randomized Complete Block Design to evaluate effective insecticide against mango stone weevil on station and farmers orchard in two consecutive years at Sunsari and Udaipur districts. We sprayed five insecticides namely: azadirachtin, thiamethoxam, flubendiamide, lamda cyhalothrin and dimethoate in recommended doses on mango plant when the fruit was of pea size for four times at ten days interval. The damage was recorded at harvesting stage. Significantly less damage was recorded on the thiamethoxam treated plants followed by flubendiamide and lamda cyhalothirn. The interaction of the treatments with the location and years was not significantly different suggesting that the year and location had not any influence on the treatment effect. Our result suggested that thiamethoxam is effective to manage mango stone weevil.

The present study aimed to assess the safety in use of the Aptian-Albian-Cenomanian aquifer system within the Kamenny subsurface site, located in the West-Siberian petroleum region of Russia, when the produced waters resulting abundantly from oil extraction are injected thereto. The relevance of this study is necessitated by the need to dispose of produced waters (co-extracted with oil) within the Kamenny site, whose accumulated volume is currently estimated to be over 10,000 thousand m3. That said, the most important challenge facing the subsurface users is to minimize the adverse impact on the geological environment by water injection into the lost-circulation horizon and preserve the natural balance of the geological environment. This study has addressed the following problems: the natural geological-hydrogeological conditions of the Aptian-Albian-Cenomanian aquifer complex were assessed; the stability of hydrogeochemical measures of groundwaters was analyzed from the monitoring survey results (starting from the 1960s); the compatibility between the produced and reservoir waters was evaluated by estimating the carbonate balance of the system; and the stability of hydrogeochemical measures of the Atlym-Novomikhailovsk aquifer complex that holds fresh potable waters valuable for the drinking and domestic water supplies and overlies the Aptian-Albian-Cenomanian aquifer system. The solution found for each of the above-listed problems evidences the consistency of the hypothesis suggested herein that the Aptian-Albian-Cenomanian aquifer system is currently safe to use for the purpose of produced water (co-extracted with oil) injection. This paper also places emphasis on the necessity of continually improving the monitoring system for both the lost-circulation horizon and the overlying ones, and of scrupulously complying with all of the environmental safeguards, which is a mandatory prerequisite for retaining the natural balance of the subsurface resources of the West-Siberian petroleum region in Russia.
WATER SALINIZATION IN IRAQ AND SOME SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
Authors: A.N.A Ahmed , . Ahmed , Rashad Rama T.
Published: December 2022

The salinity status in the Iraq needs a continuous assessment because it is continuously changing due to many factors. This article highlights the problem in the country and aims to assess the increasing salinization of some water resources. It suggests some recommendations for optimizing the beneficial utilization of this phenomenon. Experimentally, water samples were collected from 1242 site in the Iraq country and chemically analyzed to estimate the salinity parameters and indices for the agricultural suitability including the sodium percentage (Na%), sodium adsorption ratio (SAR), and the permeability index (PI). The analysis results have indicated wide variations in the pH, EC, TDS and types of soluble ions for the estimated resources. The general trend of TDS and EC as parameters of water salinization for some governorates may indicate the presence of some organic contaminants. The TDS approximately equalled the EC in Karbala, Ninewa and Thi-Qar. The sequence of the predominating ions was Ca2+ > Mg2+ > Na+ > K+ and NO3‒a> SO42‒ > Cl‒ > HCO3‒, respectively for the governorates Anbar, Babylon, Baghdad, and Basrah. The predominance of some types of cations and/or anions may be related to environmental, geological, and human practices factors. Many samples can be suitable for irrigation and agricultural use with good Na% (20-40%), acceptable Mg% (<50%), excellent SAR (<10), and PI class 2 and 3. Despite the severity of the problem, suitable management can use the saline water resources for sustainable development to turn the disadvantages into advantages. Suggested Solutions are presented for the agricultural sustainability including the irrigation and fertilization management, planting trees in the right location, biotechnology, and genetic engineering. Examples for the desalination technologies are discussed such as the Bio-Electro-remediation and Reverse electro-dialysis (RED) as an energy-efficient water desalination using Capacitive Deionization (CDI) technique and freeze desalination.

The paper deals with one of the highly relevant problems arising from disposal of produced waters in West-Siberian oilfields. Produced waters are those co-recovered with oil. The water-cut factor (for oil) is well-known to reach 90% in West Siberia. This has led to widespread events for disposal of produced waters. Improving the procedures for prediction calculations of admissible quantity and quality of disposed waters is a topical problem in petroleum hydrogeology in West Siberia. This study reports a leak-off coefficient estimation for the Cenomanian deposits (the target ones for disposal of produced waters in most of oilfields across the region) of the Mesozoic hydrogeological basin. The calculation procedure widely used at present for a homogeneous confined aquifer does not reflect the true natural picture, as the aquifer into which the produced water is pumped is multilayered and heterogeneous. Here we look into natural processes for the formation of the West-Siberian megabasin, which have resulted in heterogeneous reservoirs: uncompensated sediment accumulation and present vertical fluid migration channels. Here we show that the gross thickness of the aquifer should be employed in leak-off and hydrodynamic estimations, and adduce the leak-off coefficient estimations for five oil wells in the West Salym oilfield based on the procedure suggested herein (factoring in the multilayered nature of the Cenomanian deposits). The average leak-off coefficient of sand streaks was 0.298 m/day, which we believe to reflect the natural condition of the aquifer more adequately than the standard estimation procedure used for a homogeneous confined aquifer.
Ancient Voices, Contemporary Practice, and Human Musicality
Authors: Bannan Nicholas
Published: December 2022

Debate continues regarding the purpose and practice of music in relation to participation, cultural origin, and education internationally. A Darwinian approach that sees musical vocalization as the adaptive bridge between animal communication and human language remains hotly disputed where such a model does not suit the prevailing political or social agenda. The two books under review present contrasting viewpoints and evidence, while their concurrent publication illustrates the rich potential for developments in this field. Friedmann’s edited book presents separate chapters by sixteen independent authors cover­ing a range of specialisms and topics. Wood’s monograph is, by contrast, an encyclopaedic exploration of the earliest writings on musical theory from China, Greece, and India and their influence on the world’s music over the last 4,000 years. Read both separately and comparatively, these two publications offer a valuable contribution to our understanding of the phenomenon of music and its practice today.
What Nature Gave Us: Steven Pinker on the Rules of Reason
Authors: Harpham Geoffrey Galt
Published: December 2022

Steven Pinker argues that rationality represents both a “patrimony,” a human endowment exhibited even in the behaviors of “primitive” societies, and a powerful force for good. At the same time, Pinker describes rationality as a “scarce” resource in the contemporary world, one that must be defined, defended, and deployed against the many destructive forms of irrationality to which we are prone. In order to avert a looming “Tragedy of the Commons,” Pinker proposes that rationality should be considered not just a cognitive benefit but a moral imperative. In doing so, however, he argues against the Enlightenment tradition in which the individual, rather than the “Commons,” is the final arbiter. The fundamental tension in Pinker’s argument is between a “primitive” process of collective reasoning that produces a stable but nonprogressive society and a “modern” orientation toward the individual that has brought us to the brink of political chaos and ecological disaster.

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on food insecurity in El Salvador during 2020
Authors: Ayala Durán Carlos
Published: December 2022

Objective.

This study sought to quantify the prevalence of food insecurity among Salvadorian households, to identify the determinants of food insecurity and to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food insecurity.

Methods.

A nationwide, representative random sample of 2358 households was used for this cross-sectional study. The Household Hunger Scale (HHS) was used to assess the prevalence of food insecurity during a 30-day period. For comparison, three items were used from the Household Food Insecurity Experience Scale (HFIES), which measures hunger occurring during a 12-month time frame. For determinant analysis, binary logistic regression was used for the HHS and ordered logistic regression for the HFIES.

Results.

The prevalence of food insecurity was 6.45% (152/2356) among Salvadorian households when the HHS was used, affecting 5.48% (129/2356) to a moderate degree and 0.98% (23/2356) to a severe degree. The prevalence significantly increased when the HFIES scale items were used, with 35.41% (835/2358) of households being affected, a figure closer to the national poverty level. Determinants of food insecurity according to the HHS included agricultural problems (P = 0.00, odds ratio [OR] =1.69), the household’s prepandemic income (P = 0.00, OR = 0.48) and higher educational levels (i.e. having a secondary education [P = 0.00, OR = 0.31], technical [P = 0.03, OR = 0.24] or university education [P = 0.00, OR = 0.05]). When using the HFIES, the determinants were similar (i.e. income, agricultural problems, educational level). In more than 94% (744/785) of households, participants reported that food insecurity was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Conclusions.

When compared with other relevant international studies, the prevalence of food insecurity identified using the HHS – only 6.45% – was low for El Salvador. However, when using the HFIES scale, the prevalence rose to 35.41% of households. Some determinants align with previous studies, namely income, educational level and agricultural problems. The COVID-19 pandemic appeared to have direct effects on food insecurity

Possíveis fundamentos teórico-epistemológicos na literatura atual para a atuação do psicólogo escolar
Authors: Cardoso Tatiani Justin Witt
Published: December 2022

A psicologia escolar no Brasil vem se ampliando. Logo, o objetivo geral foi buscar na literatura atual fundamentos teóricos-epistemológicos para a atuação em psicologia escolar. Esta pesquisa qualitativa buscou por estudos publicados nas bases de dados do Google Acadêmico e Scielo, sendo integrados 18 estudos. Os resultados apontam transformações constantemente recorrentes. A necessidade da adesão da Psicologia Histórico-Cultural, a qual requer do profissional, independente da abordagem que utilize para seus trabalhos individuais, em grupo e/ou institucional, adotar comprometimento contra ideologias e práticas que individualizam, e culpabilizam os atores envolvidos no contexto intra e extraescolar. A Abordagem Centrada na Pessoa enfoca a aceitação, a confiança, a avaliação de defeitos e as potencialidades, ao invés das deficiências. E, ao conceito de imaginação de Vigotski que decorre sobre se sentir inadaptado à realidade, impulsiona a buscar e criar melhores condições. Assim, ao interagir com os demais atores da escola, construa uma solução viável.
Literacia para a saúde e ciência da saúde
Authors: Veludo Luciana Moura Caetano , Farinelli Marta Regina
Published: December 2022

É um estudo teórico com os seguintes objetivos: dialogar sobre a teoria do “espírito científico” e as noções de “obstáculos epistemológicos” de Gaston Bachelard com os conceitos de saúde; discutir a literacia para a saúde com à manifestação do “espírito científico”. O estudo é exploratório, pesquisa documental e bibliográfica, em obras de Gaston Bachelard e em outras produções científicas e documentais que embasam conceitos de saúde, literacia para a saúde. Dos resultados encontrados destaca-se a discussão entre a epistemologia bachelardiana, conceitos de saúde e a literacia para a saúde que rompem com os arquétipos de saúde e evidencia a participação dos atores sociais envolvidos no sistema de saúde. Considera-se que as observações epistemológicas de Bachelard respondem pela renovação dos saberes científicos de saúde e consolidam as investigações na área da literacia para a saúde, como proposta de melhorar o nível de informação, apreensão, investimento e gestão da saúde.
