Authors: Jornada Eva Terezinha Ferreira
Published: March 2024

O objeto de estudo apresenta um tema instigante. Deve ser dialogado nas instituições educacionais. Justifica-se que é importante que o Profissional de Educação de Ensino Superior propicie a pesquisa aos acadêmicos. A fim de desenvolver neles o incentivo de tornarem-se pesquisadores. O ponto de partida deste é tentar mitigar o problema: Como muitos graduados não ofertam aos discentes a oportunidade da pesquisa, sobre Direitos Humanos, nas escolas? O objetivo geral é reconhecer a importância da formação acadêmica dos (as) universitários (as) para que possam discutir Direitos Humanos. Os objetivos específicos são: Estimular sobre a seriedade da pesquisa. Propiciar condições de análise científica, nas escolas. Conceituar Direitos Humanos. A metodologia utilizada é a pesquisa bibliográfica e a documental. Desse modo, muitos resultados podem serem obtidos, pois discentes carecem entender que se vive em um Estado Democrático de Direito. E tem como fundamentos a soberania; a cidadania; a dignidade da pessoa humana; os valores sociais do trabalho e da livre iniciativa e o pluralismo político. Conclui-se que os direitos humanos incluem o direito à vida, a liberdade, a liberdade de opinião, direito ao trabalho, direito à moradia, direito à saúde, à educação etc.
ESCOLA, FORMAÇÃO DOCENTE E DIVERSIDADE SEXUAL
Authors: Lino Lilian de Oliveira , Alves Cláudio Rodrigues , Correr Rinaldo
Published: March 2024

Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar as Representações Sociais (RS) de professoras para identificar suas concepções sobre diversidade sexual no ambiente escolar. A metodologia adotada foi a análise do conteúdo, uma vez que esta pode ser conferida a discursos, os quais favorecem a análise de saberes que são possíveis fontes de representação. Os resultados suscitaram duas categorias de análise: a quem cabe o papel de educar para a diversidade sexual e entraves para o diálogo sobre diversidade sexual no ambiente escolar. A primeira categoria apontou três tipos de abordagens nas representações docentes: a moral-tradicionalista, a biológico-higienista e a emancipatória.  A segunda categoria revelou a ausência de capacitação em educação sexual e a não aceitação familiar como elementos que impedem o desenvolvimento dessa temática. Concluiu-se que, para que a educação sexual seja realidade, é crucial o investimento em políticas públicas e em formação docente que abordem a sexualidade, o gênero e a diversidade sexual.
MEDO DA FAMÍLIA, EM NOME DA RELIGIÃO E A POLÍTICA PARTIDÁRIA SOBRE GÊNERO E SEXUALIDADES NAS ESCOLAS
Authors: Quadrado Beatriz Floôr
Published: March 2024

Este trabalho tem como temática os gêneros e sexualidade nas escolas, especialmente, as relações diante da LGBTQIAPfobia. A investigação tem como contexto a educação formal escolar, mais especificamente, os anos finais do ensino básico da rede municipal de Sapucaia do Sul, cidade localizada na região metropolitana de Porto Alegre. A pesquisa se utilizou da análise de dados sobre entrevistas e grupos focais realizados em três escolas distintas do município de Sapucaia do Sul, com docentes de diferentes disciplinas. Buscou-se analisar as experiências de docentes diante destas temáticas e situações, bem como as concepções de normalidade e anormalidade sobre comportamentos e imagens construídas no que se refere a gênero no âmbito escolar. Compreender o processo de discriminação que é institucionalizado a partir da família, pelos meios de comunicação, religião, legislação e escola. Um controle de vigilância reforçado nos discursos como construção de verdades sobre o sexo, gênero e sexualidades. As estruturas da colonização têm efeitos reais em uma construção binária, porém são questionadas por diferentes grupos e de várias formas. A oposição e subversão destas estruturas reagem a cisheteronormatividade. Através dos discursos e experiências expostas nos grupos foi destacada a ideia de modismo no que se refere ao gênero e sexualidade de crianças e adolescentes, bem como as tensões envolvenvendo escola e família. As sexualidades foram restritas ao âmbito do privado, na preocupação da crítica familar. Privatizar a sexualidade é uma lógica eurocêntrica e colonizadora, uma estratégia de naturalização e domesticação sobre gênero, sexo, prazer e desejo. Bem como os sentimentos de culpa e vergonha em um viés cristão, uma forma de escapar e contradizer seu caráter social e político, portanto, público. O trabalho reflete criticamente a ideia de modismo e naturalização das sexualidades na infância e adolescência junto as performatividades e sua materialização no corpo.  O conceito de performatividade em Butler (2021) se faz como principal referência para compreender os processos atuais de permanências e rupturas no cenário das relações sociais e políticas no Brasil. Enfim, após a discussão sobre os conflito  nas construções políticas e estruturais a cerca do gênero e sexualidades, percebe-se que o grande desafio ainda é como abordar estas temáticas na escola diante das crises do sistema político e econômico que tem se utilizado da descrença e desvalorização do trabalho docente e da liberdade  na manutenção de padrões com base na heterossexualidade, autoritarismo e conservadorismo.

An abattoir-based study was carried out to assess the neoplasms affecting the ovaries of buffaloes. A total of 200 pairs of ovaries from 3 to 12 years old she buffaloes carcasses were examined and collected for routine histopathological studies. Ovarian neoplasms were recorded in 12 animals accounting for 6% and in all the cases the involvement was unilateral. Epithelial tumours were recorded in 6 cases (three each in right and left). Histologically, all the epithelial tumours were adenomas and were further sub-classified as simple adenoma (3 cases), fibro-adenoma (2 cases) and a solitary case of papillary cystadenoma. Sex cord-stromal tumors were recorded in 4 cases that included a solitary case of granulosa cell tumour in the right ovary and luteoma in 3 cases (one in right and two in left). Among the tumours of mesenchymal origin, haemangioma was observed in 2 cases involving each of left and right ovary.
Effect of CIDR protocol on conception rate in RFM affected and normally calved buffaloes
Authors: Selvaraju Mani , Ganesh Kumar
Published: March 2024

Delayed re-establishment of ovarian cyclicity after parturition leads to increased inter-calving interval in buffaloes. This interval is further extended by the occurrence of post-partum disorders especially retained fetal membranes (RFM) which in turn causes heavy economic loss to the farming community. A total of 16 buffaloes at 45 to 60 days post-partum period including 8 buffaloes treated for retained fetal membranes (RFM) and 8 normally calved (NC) were selected and dewormed orally with Albendazole and administered orally with 50 g mineral mixture for 15 days after deworming. All the buffaloes at 60 to 75 days post-partum were inserted with CIDR intravaginally and left in situ for 9 days. All the buffaloes received an intra-muscular injection of 500 µg PGF2α at 24 h prior to CIDR withdrawal. At 48 (first AI) and 72 h (second AI) of CIDR removal, the buffaloes were artificially inseminated. Further, those buffaloes which failed to conceive and returned to oestrus (subsequent oestrus) following breeding at induced oestrus, were artificially inseminated twice at an interval of 24 h. Pregnancy diagnosis was done by rectal examination at 60 days post-insemination. Retention rate of CIDR from insertion to withdrawal was 100%. The percentage of ovulatory response assessed by ultrasonography following oestrus induction in NC and RFM affected buffaloes was 100 and 87.50%. The first service, second service and overall conception rates were 25, 37.50 and 62.50 and 62.50, 25 and 87.50 in RFM and NC groups respectively.In both the groups, the serum mean progesterone levels increased from the time of selection to the time of PGF2α injection but at first AI, the serum progesterone levels reached below 0.5 ng/ml and at 10 days post AI, there was an elevated progesterone levels in both the groups. The serum oestradiol levels increased from the time selection of animals to the time of first AI and then declined at 10 days post AI. The mean serum oestradiol levels were higher in NC buffaloes from the time of selection of animal to first AI in all the groups when compared to RFM affected buffaloes. It is concluded that oestrus induction with CIDR plus PGF2α with prior deworming and mineral mixture supplementation could be used in post-partum NC or RFM affected buffaloes to achieve maximum conception rate under field conditions.

The present study was conducted to know the gross morphology and histo-morphological structure of fetal placenta in Jaffrabadi buffaloes. Parameters like calf weight, placental weight, numbers, and size of cotyledons were observed in Jaffrabadi buffaloes and morphologically, fetal cotyledons were convex and non-pendunculated in Jaffrabadi buffaloes were found. Histological studies of small and large cotyledons showed extensive branching of secondary and tertiary villi that were longer, slender, and well developed in Jaffrabadi buffalo. A less developed basal lamina was seen in small cotyledon whereas developed basal lamina with numerous capillaries and connective tissue were observed in the large cotyledon. The diameter of trophoblast giant cells (TGC) in larger cotyledons were significantly (P<0.05) than the small cotyledons in expelled placenta at full term in Jaffrabadi buffaloes. A distinct distribution of carbohydrate and lipids in cotyledons were observed between large and small cotyledons as evident by acid mucopolysaccharides, neutral polysaccharides, and sudanophilic staining. Specific staining for calcium with Alizarin red stain showed that calcium is not present in a noticeable amount in small and large cotyledons. Isolation and culture of Jaffrabadi placental cells in M-199 medium with antibiotics and 2% FBS results in the efficient production of progesterone, estrogen, and testosterone. This study has shown that trophoblast cells are the actual sites for steroid hormone production. These cultured placental cells (1x106 cells/ ml) produce Progesterone, Estradiol-17β and Testosterone in the range of 1.72 to 2.12, 16.03 to 19.51 and 0.51 to 0.58 ng/ml, respectively in Jaffrabadi buffalo.

Published: March 2024

Background and objectives:

Prognostic factors reliably predicting outcomes for critically ill adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) are lacking. We assessed transplant and intensive care unit (ICU)-related factors impacting patient outcomes.

Patients and methods:

AYA patients who underwent allo-HSCT and required ICU admission at a Tertiary care Centre, during the period of 2003–2013, were included in this retrospective review.

This was a non-interventional study. Only outcomes after the first allo-HSCT and index ICU admissions were analyzed. Disease-, transplant-, and ICU-related variables were analyzed to identify risk factors predictive of survival.

Results:

Overall, 152 patients were included (males, 60.5%); median age at transplantation was 24 years (interquartile range [IQR] 18–32.5); median age at admission to the ICU was 25.8 years (IQR 19–34). Eighty-four percent underwent transplantation for a hematological malignancy; 129 (85%) received myeloablative conditioning. Seventy-one percent of ICU admissions occurred within the first year after allo-HSCT. ICU admission was primarily due to respiratory failure (47.3%) and sepsis (43.4%). One hundred and three patients (68%) died within 28 days of ICU admission. The 1- and 5- year overall survival rates were 19% and 17%, respectively. Main causes for ICU-related death were refractory septic shock with multiorgan failure (n = 49, 32%) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) (n = 39, 26%).

Univariate analysis showed that ICU mortality was associated with an Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score >20, a sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA score) > 12, a high lactate level, anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, hyperbilirubinemia, a high international normalized ratio (INR) and acute graft-versus- host disease (GVHD). Multivariate analysis identified thrombocytopenia, high INR, and acute GVHD as independent predictors of mortality.

Conclusions:

In AYA allo-HSCT patients admitted to the ICU, mortality remains high. Higher SOFA and APACHE scores, the need for organ support, thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, and acute GVHD predict poor outcomes.

Objective:

This study aims to compare the polysomnographic features between Arab-Indian and Benin phenotypes of sickle cell disease (SCD).

Materials and methods:

This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Children's Hospital at King Fahad Medical City, in Riyadh where children were recruited from the pediatric hematology clinic and pediatric sleep medicine. All families were approached and patients who met the inclusion criteria and agreed to participate were included in the study.

Results:

Eighty four children (37 of whom were females) with SCD were included in the study. Their median (interquartile) age was 9 (6.65, 11) years and their body mass index z score was –1.45 (–2.195, –1.45). The evidence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was more prominent in the Benin phenotype (66.7%) in comparison to those of the Arab- Indian (35.2%) phenotype (p = 0.006). Additionally, 56.7% of Benin had moderate to severe OSA whereas Arab-Indian had 18% with a (p = 0.0003). Controlling for other factors, the odds ratio (confidence interval) of having OSA in Benin phenotype was 4.68 (1.42–15.38) times higher as compared to Arab-Indian phenotype.

Conclusion:

The risk of having OSA as well as the severity of OSA is higher in Benin phenotype as compared to Arab- Indian phenotype which indicates the presence of potential OSA risk factors other than the SCD itself.

El virus del papiloma humano es una infección de transmisión sexual que afecta a millones de personas en todo el mundo. Es un problema de salud pública debido a su asociación con el cáncer de cuello uterino. El objetivo es conocer el nivel de conocimiento que tienen los jóvenes sobre el VPH y su vacuna en América Latina. La Investigación fue de tipo cualitativa descriptiva, mediante la estructura del método PRISMA, como herramienta de búsqueda en diversas bases de datos de alto prestigio académico. La revisión sistemática mostró que los jóvenes tenían bajos niveles de conocimiento sobre el VPH y la vacuna, pero su conocimiento sobre el VPH, su prevención y su relación con el cáncer de cuello uterino aumentó después de la intervención educativa, lográndose obtener una comprensión integral de la situación del VPH entre los jóvenes, centrándose en la importancia de la prevención y la educación para reducir la morbilidad y la mortalidad por cánceres asociados con esta infección. Se espera que el estudio sea un recurso valioso para los profesionales de la salud, investigadores y hacedores de políticas públicas que busquen estrategias efectivas para proteger la salud de los jóvenes de la región

The Influence of SME Funding and Non-Performing Financing on Indonesia's Economic Growth in The Period 2015-2022
Authors: Soumena Fadly Yashari , Umaima Umaima , Nurwahida Nurwahida , Syam Dwi Resky Yulianti
Published: March 2024

This research aims to analyze the effect of MSME fund disbursement and non-performing financing (NPF) on Indonesia's economic growth in the 2015-2022 period. The research method used is quantitative with a descriptive approach. The data used comes from secondary data sources, such as the financial statements of the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and the Central Bureau of Statistics. The results showed that partially, the distribution of MSME funds had a positive and significant effect on Indonesia's economic growth. This shows that financial support provided to MSMEs through the distribution of funds makes an important contribution in encouraging better economic growth. However, partially, non-performing financing (NPF) has an insignificant negative effect on economic growth. Although the NPF problem may affect the financial sector, the results of this research show that its impact on overall economic growth is not significant. Simultaneously, MSME disbursement and NPF have a positive and significant influence on Indonesia's economic growth. This result confirms the importance of good management of MSME disbursement and NPF control in supporting sustainable economic growth. The implication of this research is that proper allocation of funds to MSMEs can improve business efficiency and development. In addition, effective handling of the NPF problem can minimize its negative impact on economic growth. Thus, policies that support good disbursement of MSME funds and effective NPF control can contribute to stronger and more sustainable economic growth in Indonesia.
