Authors: Rocha Filho Juliano Henrique , Braga Beatriz Brasil , Alarcão Kristine Leão , Dias Maria Teresa Aires Cabral
Published: December 2021

Background: Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a genetically heterogeneous group of progressive autosomal disorders of dominant inheritance with a gradual degeneration of the cerebellum and related pathways [1]. This leads to a movement disorder, loss of balance and coordination, accompanied by slurred speech [2]. Among the approximately 40 types of SCA, the spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3), also known as Machado-Joseph disease, is the most clinically heterogeneous [3]. It involves the cerebellar, pyramidal, extrapyramidal, motor neuron and oculomotor systems [2]. Objectives: Understand the clinical findings of SCA3. Methods: The review was based on papers from SciELO and LILACS databases. Articles presented in full, written in English or Portuguese, were researched. Results: SCA3 is a consequence of the ATXN3 gene modification, which generates pathogenic repeated expansions of trinucleotides CAG, leading to polyglutamine coding. The common clinical phenotype includes the presentation of symptoms such as cerebellar ataxia, ophthalmoplegia, spasticity, basal ganglia symptoms, sensory symptoms, amyotrophy, including facial atrophy and fasciculations [4]. In addition, atrophy of the cerebellar vermis, hemispheres, brainstem and medial cerebellar peduncle are visualized on MRI in the early stages, resulting in an enlargement of the fourth ventricle. Furthermore, changes also occur in the caudate nucleus, putamen and upper cerebellar peduncle [5]. Conclusion: Through data analysis, there is a necessity to know the clinical and pathological characteristics of SCA3. This neurological disorder causes suffering for the patients, since it is a highly debilitating serious condition.
Radiological clinical evaluation of cerebral venous thrombosis
Authors: Abrantes Maely Moreira de
Published: December 2021

Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare disorder, accounting for 0.5- 1% of cerebrovascular diseases and, in general, affects young people. Occurs due to occlusion of venous sinuses and cerebral veins, which are responsible for the venous drainage of the brain. Symptoms and clinical course are extremely variable, making diagnosis difficult. Objective: The present study aims to conduct a review of the literature on the clinical radiological evaluation in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis. Methods:This is a literature review based on the medical literature and scientific articles indexed in the Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO) and VHL- Brazil. Results: The evolution, introduction and use of relatively recent imaging techniques have contributed to the early diagnosis and treatment of patients with CVT. Skull computed tomography (CT) is usually the first examination performed in emergency care and can be normal in up to 50% of cases. Skull MRI associated with cranial angioresonance (MRA) are currently the exams of choice for the diagnosis of CVT in the acute, subacute and chronic phases. These tests allow a detailed assessment of the thrombus and tissue changes resulting from CVT. Digital angiography of the skull by catheterization is an invasive method and is considered the gold standard method for the diagnosis of CVT. It is reserved for cases in which NMR is not conclusive or when considering the performance of an endovascular procedure. Conclusions: Imaging studies are of great importance in the diagnosis. Although the venous angiographic study is essential, it is also important to observe the conventional sequences in order to allow a correct diagnosis.
Predictive factors in the prognosis of victims of trauma crisis in brain
Authors: Abrantes Maely Moreira de
Published: December 2021

Background: Among mechanical traumas, traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the main determinant of deaths and sequelae in polytrauma patients. TBI is defined as any traumatic injury to the brain that results in anatomical injury such as skull fracture or scalp injury, functional impairment of the meninges, brain and its vessels or momentary or permanent brain changes, of a cognitive or physical nature. Objective: The present work aims to conduct a literature review on the factors that are predictive in the prognosis of victims of traumatic brain injury. Methods: This is a literature review based on the medical literature and scientific articles indexed in the Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SCIELO) and VHL-Brazil. Results: Several factors are related to a worse prognosis in patients suffering from TBI, and the most cited are: score equal to or less than 8 on the Glasgow Coma Scale (ECG) on admission; age over 60 years; tomographic changes showing diffuse axonal lesion or cerebral edema; pupils with abolished photomotor reflexes; arterial hypotension at admission; hyperthermia and male sex. Studies address that the initial clinical-neurological severity, measured by ECG, has the greatest significant influence on the evolution of patients, showing that the initial clinical manifestation points out the severity of primary and secondary injuries associated with TBI. As well as ECG, several other factors such as the brain’s susceptibility to injury, the extent and severity of the injuries, the presence of global or focal injuries, associated injuries and the initial response to treatment are also cited as useful in determining the evolution of cases of victims of TCE. Conclusions: It was found that the TBI is the main responsible for high lethality rates in polytrauma patients worldwide and from obtaining these data in recent years, studies have been deepened in order to search for the prognostic factors for TBI. The identification of these indicators has represented a major advance in the search for alternatives to guide the treatment of the patient and estimate the final result.

Published: December 2021

Context: Dizziness or vertigo is a very common clinical manifestation, usually of labyrinthic origin. However, an accurated neurological clinical examination is crucial for the diagnosis of central origin. Case report: D.F.A, 40 years old, female, white, Brazilian. She has been reportining of intense dizziness for a few months and relevant postural instability. She reports two previous hospitalizations, without a closed diagnosis, and is then referred to the specialist. On clinical examination, she had bilateral internuclear ophthalmoparesis and bidirectional nystagmus in her right eye. Requested magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the skull suggestive of demyelinating lesions in the wall of the fourth ventricle, pons and, especially, in transition between medulla oblongata and spinal cord, compatible with Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) with manifestations of trunk syndrome. After pulse therapy, she obtained a good clinical evolution, with the maintenance of sensory deficits as a result of the injury, but with significant improvement in bilateral ophthalmoparesis and balance. Some studies already report brainstem involvement in patients with NMO, describing the presence of brainstem´s signals. Conclusion: In the case in question, therefore, the patient remained for almost two months without an accurate diagnosis, being the neurological examination the crucial factor for the suggestion of a disease of central origin, reporting a case of onset NMO with of brainstem´s signals.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affects all the segments, including the healthcare centre services. Thus, understanding how emergency care is performed in cases of TBI in pediatric patients is essential. Objectives: To analyze changes in trauma management in children since measures to combat the pandemic have fostered a change in hospital routine. Design of study and location: The work was carried out with students from Goiás, Distrito Federal, Amazonas, Espírito Santo and São Paulo who organized themselves at a distance to deal with relevant and current issues in an integrative manner. Methods: Integrative review based on the PubMed and SciELO research databases. Results: In clinical management, light TBI corresponds to most pediatric cases, therapy consists of monitoring and stabilising the patient. In surgical management, the main objective is decompression of the cephalic mass and surgical intervention in the resolution of parenchymal hematomas. Neuroimaging exams are also essential for good conduct and evaluation; However, the concern with the excessive use of these grew and, therefore, it was necessary to reduce the number of unnecessary requests, avoiding hospital expenses. In addition, telemedicine assists in care ensure greater protection, since it reduces the risk of contagion. Conclusion: Therefore, it is evident that the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic affected the treatment of TBI cases in children. Thus, there was a need for restructuring in the hospital routine.

Introduction: Nutritional screening should be used as a tool nutritional risk early identification, aiming at intervention for the prevention of malnutrition and rehabilitation. Objectives: Report nutritional risk management protocol in patients admitted for suspected stroke. Methodology: Experience report on the working method of nutrition team at a stroke reference center. Results: Nutrition screening by a Dietist is applied within 72 hours of admission of all patients admitted to the acute/integral stroke unit. First, NRS-2002 tool is applied, in which the following items are considered: BMI < 20.5Kg/m²; weight loss in the past three months; reduction in food intake in the last week; metabolic stress and age (≥70 years old). Those with a speech-language diagnosis of dysphagia are also considered at nutritional risk. After, anthropometric measurements: weight and height are measured with walking patients, or knee height, brachial and calf circumference of those with cognitive and/or motor disabilities. Individualized nutritional therapy (oral/enteral) is prescribed. In addition, cases are discussed in a multiprofessional daily round to define actions during rehabilitation and in the discharge process (conter- referral to primary care, nutrition advice and continuity of nutritional therapy at home). Conclusions: Establishing a nutritional risk management protocol is important for early identification in post-stroke patients, since nutritional status is directly related to a good prognosis and long-term quality of life.

Published: December 2021

Introduction: Salvador was deeply affected by Sars-CoV-2. Because of the fear of contamination, many stopped seeking medical attention for the prevention and treatment of serious illnesses, such as stroke. This is defined as the appearance of a sudden neurological deficit caused by an alteration in the blood vessels of the CNS, being classified as ischemic and hemorrhagic. Objectives: To describe a relationship between the number of strokes hospitalizations from January / 2019 to March / 2020, which preceded the new Coronavirus pandemic, and the period of social isolation, from March / 2020 to October / 2020. Methods: The study was done with aggregated data, being longitudinal observational (time series) based on data collected in the SUS Hospital Information System (SIH / SUS) available at DATASUS. Results: A peak of hospitalizations for stroke is observed in April / 2019, with 350 cases. During the same year, hospitalizations fluctuated between 200 and 300 cases. At the beginning of 2020, this number remained on schedule, with an average of 250 hospitalizations. As of April, however, there is a fall, with May / 2020 reaching the lowest number of hospitalizations recorded in the entire period studied. This deviation is also observed in the remaining months of 2020. Conclusion: The pandemic may have a direct relationship with the number of hospitalizations in Salvador. Due to fear of contamination, there was a significant drop in the number of consultations, increasing the likelihood of deaths from stroke.

Published: December 2021

Context: Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death in Brazil. Amongst them, cerebrovascular disease is the second greater cause of death and the first in disability. Despite its overall high incidence, initial presentation with bilateral anterior circulation involvement is rare. The association between COVID-19 and stroke is still unclear, nethertheless, a prothrombotic state has been consistently described. Case report: A 80-years-old male, with past medical history of atrial fibrillation in regular use of apixaban, treated for severe COVID-19 Pneumonia for 13 days of hospitalization, was admitted seven days after discharge, presenting loss of consciousness followed by a not witnessed fall. At first evaluation the patient was somnolent, eye opening to tactile stimulation, motor aphasia, right central facial palsy and crural predominant double hemiparesis. Tomography study revealed bilateral hypoattenuation at superior frontal and cingulate girus. Angiotomography identified a hipoplasic A1 segment of anterior cerebral artery. Addtional findings included segmental pulmonary embolism and aorta intraluminal thrombus. The patient evolved to mutism and worsening level of consciousness, followed by death after several clinical complications. Conclusions: Anatomical variants of anterior circulatian are common although tipically assintomatic. When related to cerebrovascular disease, cardioembolic event is frequently accountable. This case exhibits an unusual stroke presentation during COVID-19 convalescence period among other thrombotic events despite anticoagulant therapy. Therefore, reinforces literature findings that SARS- CoV-2 infection and stroke simultaneously increase mortality and highlights that more physiolopathology knowlegde regarding this association is required, as well as efficiency trials of oral anticoagulants in these scenarios.

Published: December 2021

The aim of this study is to examine the attitudes of university students towards healthy eating in terms of some variables. 322 students (170 male, 152 female) from Bartın University Faculty of Sports Sciences and Health Services Vocational School participated in the study. "Attitude Scale Towards Healthy Eating" developed by Tekkurşun Demir and Cicioğlu (2019) and a personal data form were used as data collection tools in the research. SPSS 20 package program was used in the analysis of the data. In the analysis of normally distributed data, the Independent Samples T test was used in pairwise comparison, and the significance level was taken as p<0.05. When the gender and attitude scores and sub-dimensions of the groups participating in the study were examined, it was found that men's attitudes towards healthy eating, feelings about nutrition and positive nutrition scores were higher than women, but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p>.05). When the variable of taking the nutrition lesson of the groups and the scores and sub-dimensions of the attitudes towards healthy nutrition were examined, it was determined that the students who took the nutrition lesson had higher attitude levels towards healthy nutrition, but there was no statistically significant difference (p>.05). There was no statistical difference between the department variable and the scores of attitudes towards healthy eating, and between the sub-dimensions of knowledge about nutrition, feeling towards nutrition and malnutrition (p>.05), but a statistical difference was found between the groups in the sub-dimension of positive nutrition (p<.05). As a result, the gender of the participants and the variable of taking a nutrition course do not affect the attitude towards healthy eating, while the section variable causes a difference in the positive nutrition sub-dimension.

Published: December 2021

Background and Aim: Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) affects more than 30% of the Asian population, and its symptoms are common. The high prevalence of atrophic gastritis in the Pakistani population is exacerbated by gastro esophageal reflux disease. The present study aims was to assess the high prevalence of gastro esophageal reflux symptoms in patients with both acute and no acute cough. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 426 consecutive patients who attended the General Medicine and Emergency department of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Hospital Rawalakot and Avicenna Hospital, Lahore from February 2021 to July 2021. Informed consent in written form was taken from all the patients. Patients with partial gastrectomy previous history and user of antagonist H2-receptor, steroids, proton pump inhibitor (PPI), and other inflammatory drugs two months prior to the investigation were excluded. Helsinki Declaration was utilized for this study with ethical approval taken from the hospital ethics committee. SPSS version 24 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 426 patients, GERD diagnosed patients were 248 (58.2%) and 178 (41.8%) had respiratory symptoms. The prevalence of GERD symptoms was higher in respiratory symptoms patients compared to without respiratory symptoms patients (p-value=0.05). Out of 178respiratory symptoms patients, GERD symptoms were present in 71 (39.9%) of acute cough while 107 (60.1%) of non-acute cough while 86 (34.7%) of 248 had no respiratory symptoms. The GERD development has no significant association with respiratory symptoms duration, however, patients having respiratory symptoms are at substantially elevated risk for GERD development. Conclusion: Our study found that respiratory symptoms patients are considerably more likely to develop GERD. GERD prevalence was similar in both acute and non-acute cough patients, implying that the presence of respiratory diseases is associated with the development of GERD regardless of the duration of respiratory symptoms.

Epilepsi; kortikal nöronlardaki anormal ve aşırı elektriksel deşarj sonucu ortaya çıkan, ani gelişen, tekrarlayıcı ve tanımlanabilen bir olayla tetiklenmemiş epilepsi nöbetleri ile karakterize kronik nörolojik bir hastalıktır. Dünyada ve ülkemizde ırk, cins, kültür, ekonomik düzey ayrımı olmaksızın yaklaşık 50 milyon insanı etkilemektedir. Erişkinlerde beyin damar hastalıklarından sonra ikinci sırada yer almaktadır. Epilepside nöbetleri önlemek ve bireyin yaşam kalitesini arttırmak için antiepileptik ilaç tedavisi uygulanır. Kullanılan ilaç tedavisi nöbetlerin türüne ve sıklığına göre monoterapi ya da politerapi şeklinde değişiklik gösterir. Epilepsi hastalarında nöbetlerin kontrol altına alınmasında tedaviye uyum çok önemlidir. Tedavi uyumu bireyin ilaçları uygun dozda ve zamanında kullanma, sağlık bakım çalışanlarının önerilerine ve diyetine uyma, yaşam biçimi değişikliklerini daha olumlu sürdürme davranışı olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Epilepsi tedavisine uyumu birçok faktör etkilemektedir. Bunlar; hasta ile ilgili faktörler (demografik, sosyokültürel, davranışsal), hastalıkla ve tedaviyle ilişkili faktörler, sağlık ekibi ve sağlık sistemi ile ilgili faktörler olarak sınıflandırılabilir. Yeterli uyum sağlayamayan bireylerde nöbet geçirme olasılıkları, sağlık hizmet kullanım sıklığı ve sağlık bakım maliyetleri artar. Tedavi uyumunu arttırmak için; birey fizyolojik, sosyolojik ve psikolojik yönden çok boyutlu değerlendirilmeli, aile ve sosyal destek sistemleri için eğitim stratejileri belirlenmeli, sağlık çalışanları ile işbirliği içerisinde programlar düzenlenmelidir. Bu çalışmada epilepsi hastalarının tedaviye uyumlarını etkileyen faktörler ve uyum oranlarını arttırmak için uygulanabilecek stratejiler hemşirenin sorumlulukları kapsamında ele alınmıştır.

THE CRISIS IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM OF CONTEMPORARY UKRAINE IN THE CONTEXT OF NATIONAL SECURITY CHALLENGES
Authors: Pashkov Viktor
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the state of the art in the Ukrainian higher education system and education reform during the post-Maidan period. Political, economic factors of university reform are examined in detail for an insight into the transformations over the last years. Special attention is paid to the close correlation between the institutional dynamics of higher education and political factors – the ideology of reform and the government policy in higher education, the political line-up in the parliament and MPs’ views on education and research. The author finds that modernization in higher education during this period was largely correlated with the dynamics of the political transformation of the government.

Two periods in university policy are singled out: the reform period (from mid-2014 to mid-2016) and the stabilization period (2016–2019). The author elicits that the current crisis in the Ukrainian higher education system is caused by the attempt to implement neoliberal approaches toward university policy, while failing to address and even exacerbating unresolved post-Soviet problems. The decline in the quality of higher education has a negative impact on Ukraine's economic competitiveness, the reproduction of the nation's intellectual resources and human capital, as well as social cohesion. It may also trigger new humanitarian security challenges.

In the second part of the article, the author focuses on the macroeconomic conditions for the development of higher education in 2014–2019, the dynamics of public funding and the structure of education expenditures. The analysis finds that during this period, the share of higher education expenditures in the structure of total public expenditures also decreased, and the rationale of the government was motivated by neoliberal approaches.

Particular attention is paid to the analysis of science and research funding in Ukraine. Currently, academic research is in deep crisis, and the system of public funding of Research and Development is inefficient. University research remains underfunded, which results in the further deterioration of the already low research and innovation capacity of national universities. The level of public funding for science in 2014–2019 was the lowest in twenty years and amounted to 0.2–0.25 % of GDP, which did not cover even the minimum needs of the industry. The critical state of affairs in science and research is potentially a national security challenge, as it undermines opportunities for the technological modernization of the national economy, the development of innovative industries, and contributes to the leaking of intellectual resources from Ukraine.
PRIORITY DIRECTIONS OF ECONOMIC COOPERATION BETWEEN UKRAINE AND THE USA IN THE HIGH-TECH SPHERE
Authors: Begma Vitaliу , Shemаyev Volodymyr , Radov Denis , Tolok Polina
Published: December 2021

Ukraine’s international economic cooperation with other countries is becoming a determining factor in providing national security, in particular, in the political, military and economic spheres. This is manifested in such areas as the equipping of the Armed Forces and other components, the implementation of national weapons production projects and the export of Ukrainian weapons.

The Russian Federation's aggression against Ukraine in 2014 led not only to the cessation of Ukrainian-Russian high-technical cooperation, but also transformed Russia from a competitor in the market of weapons of mass destruction into an overt enemy of the Ukrainian state, which compelled Ukraine to start looking for a new model of behavior in the market.

Given that both Ukraine and the Russian Federation operate largely in the same segment the weapons market, Ukraine would be able to move from this segment dominated by our main competitor only with the support of our strategic partners and international sanctions policy against the RF because of its aggression against Ukraine.

The possibility of using high-technical cooperation between Ukraine and the USA as an instrument of displacement of the Russian Federation from the world market of weapons-equipped vehicles is substantiated. It is proved that US interest in the implementation of sanctions imposed by the Russian Federation and the prevention of Russian weapons in the zone of conflict through third countries can be a powerful impetus for the development of Ukrainian-American cooperation in the high-tech sphere.

Cooperation in traditional industries such as transport aircraft building, marine shipbuilding and turbine construction, rocket engineering, which are predominantly state-owned and not traded on stock markets, requires additional attention from the state to attract US investment and assistance. Variants of development of these basic branches industries have been addressed in numerous research papers.

At the same time, other areas of cooperation deserve a greater attention. Priority, in our opinion, should be given to strategic materials for manufacturing and energy sector; electronics and communications industry.

The article discusses ways to enhance military technology cooperation in a manner that would better reflect both parties’ strategic interests and argues that a deeper understanding of these interests will help attract investment into the domestic industrial sector.

Published: December 2021

Derrida’ya göre felsefe, geleneksel olarak, kendisini edebiyatla bir karşıtlık ilişkisi içerisinde konumlandırmıştır. Bu karşıtlığa göre edebiyat, felsefeye nispetle ikincil bir konumda değerlendirilir. Edebi bir hareket olarak metafor da, bu ikincil konumdan nasibini alır. Böylelikle dışsal bir hareket olarak anlaşılır ve en iyi ihtimalle yardımcı statüsünde kalır. Derrida felsefe ile edebiyat arasındaki bu sınırı doğal değil, kurgusal bir sınır olarak değerlendirme eğilimindedir. Felsefe bu sınırı, bünyesindeki edebi hareketi kendisinden dışlayarak ayrıcalıklı bir konuma yerleşebilmek için çekmektedir. Derrida, metaforun söz konusu sınırı ihlal eden hareketine odaklanarak, felsefenin ayrıcalıklı bir konuma yerleşme girişimindeki aksamayı göstermeye çalışır. Bu aksama felsefi söylemin ancak edebi olanla, metaforik hareketle birlikte açığa çıkabileceğini görünür kılacaktır. Böylelikle Derrida’ya göre metafor, felsefe-edebiyat sınırını ihlal ederek her iki disiplini birbiriyle ilişkiye sokan kurucu bir hareket olarak anlaşılır.
HUKUK-İKTİDAR İLİŞKİSİ ÜZERİNE TARİHSEL VE KURAMSAL BİR SORUŞTURMA: CARL SCHMİTT, WALTER BENJAMİN VE GİORGİO AGAMBEN’DE HUKUK-İKTİDAR İLİŞKİSİ

Published: December 2021

İktidar ve hukuk arasındaki ilişki tarihsel ve köklü bir ilişkidir. Bu çalışmada iktidarın kaynağı ve kullanımı, başka bir ifadeyle “yasa ve kılıç” arasındaki ilişki irdelenmiştir. İlk bölümde kökensel olarak devletsiz toplumlarda iktidarın kaynağı ile kullanımı arasındaki bölünmüşlüğü açıklayan antropolojik çalışmalara başvurulmuştur. Ardından modern dönemde kuvvetler ayrılığı sorgulanmış, bu bağlamda hukuk ve iktidar ilişkisi soruşturulurken üç düşünür ele alınmıştır: Carl Schmitt “olağanüstü hal” kavramsallaştırması üzerinden ele alınmış, Walter Benjamin yasa koyucu ve yasa koruyucu iktidar kavramı üzerinden değerlendirilmiştir. Son olarak Giorgio Agamben’in “homo sacer” ve “çıplak bedenler” kavramsallaştırmaları aktarılmıştır. Schmitt, olağanüstü hâl adı verilen kurucu momenti karar verici iktidara haiz bir özneye devrederken Benjamin yasa düzleminde iktidarı ve mitik/ilahi şiddeti incelemiştir. Agamben ise hukuksal olarak inşâ edilmiş soyut haklardan arınmış çıplak bedenler üzerinde şiddetin olağanlığını analiz etmiş ve istisna hâlinin modern politika dahilinde yaşama biçimine dönüştüğünü öne sürmüştür. Özetle modern dönemde güçler ayrımının eleştirisi gerçekleştirilirken üç düşünür hukukun iktidarın belirleniminde olduğuna dikkat çekerek öne çıkmaktadırlar. Makalenin ereği, düşünürlerin teorik mülahazalarından hareketle modern politik dönem açısından hukuk-iktidar ilişkisinde güçler ayrımının de facto bir geçerliği olmadığına dair tartışma yürütmektir. Çalışmada siyasal antropolojiden siyasal kurama disiplinler arası bir yöntem benimsenirken eklektik bir tutumdan ziyade, hukuk-iktidar sorunsalı bağlamında tarihsel ve kuramsal bir izlek takip edilmiştir.

Accordingly, this research explores the influences behind such happenings, which include spiritual beliefs, cultural practices of commercial spaces and marketing strategies. This phenomenon also leads to a wider aspect regarding the role of a mall in its community and space usages those went beyond commercial purposes.

Published: December 2021

Selection is continuously occurring on the living beings and the fittest
who are able to reproduce will survive. To measure this selection, the data from 954 women was obtained who belong to different ethnic groups of Gujarat and Maharashtra and various index and components were computed using Crow`s Index and Johnston and Kensinger`s Index. The Crow`s total index value was found to be 0.539. The mortality component was found to be 0.130 and fertility component was found to be 0.363. The
contribution of fertility component was greater than the mortality component according to Crow`s Index. Value of total selection index computed using Johnston and Kensinger`s Index is 0.639. The index of selection due to pre‐natal mortality and post‐natal mortality was observed to be 0.064 and 0.130 respectively. Therefore, it is found that
among coastal populations of Gujarat and Maharashtra the selection trend is more due to fertility component than mortality component.

Reflexiones sobre la migración de hombres gays dominicano: Una mirada desde la profesión
Authors: López Ortiz Mabel T. , Toro-Alfonso José , Nieves Lugo Karen
Published: December 2021

La cercanía entre Puerto Rico y la República Dominicana resulta en un paso de personas emigrantes sin documentos que entran a Puerto Rico en busca de 'el sueño americano" o de superación económica. Este no resulta ser el único sueño cuando se suma el rechazo a algunas identidades sexuales diversas del sector que emigra, situación que descubre otro matiz al fenómeno social de la migración. En particular este artículo presenta un resumen de algunos de los resultados de una investigación cualitativa realizada con hombres gays dominicanos residentes en Santo Domingo, y hombres gays ya habían emigrado a Puerto Rico. El propósito de la misma era explorar la realidad de este sector de nacionalidad dominicana radicado en Puerto Rico, enfocando en los elementos que motivaron a la emigración y explorar el imaginario de un grupo de hombres gays residentes en la ciudad de Santo Domingo de la República Dominicana sobre las intenciones, deseos o posibilidades de emigrar a Puerto Rico. En el análisis de los hallazgos identificamos otros temas que resultaron de las historias de los entrevistados y que revelan experiencias que atenían con los derechos humanos al amparo de la opresión internalizada de los implicados, y que apuntan a la vulnerabilidad matizada del sometimiento y la impotencia desde el fenómeno de la migración en un mundo globalizado.
Reflexiones acerca de la construcción de un proyecto ético político profesional
Authors: Barreto Cortez Esterla
Published: December 2021

En el presente artículo se comparten reflexiones acerca de la construcción de un proyecto ético-político profesional que se ha comenzado a gestar desde el Colegio de Trabajadores Sociales de Puerto Rico (CTSPR). Se sintetizan contribuciones importantes de académicos del Trabajo Social en América Latina quienes, a partir de una perspectiva histórico-crítica, proponen elementos claves para el desarrollo de dicho proyecto profesional. En particular se discute la vinculación entre profesión y política social en el marco del capitalismo colonial-moderno y la agenda neoliberal. Argumentando a favor de un proyecto democrático, pluralista y revolucionario se elaboran algunas reflexiones preliminares acerca de la relación teórico-metodológica, técnico-operativa y ético-política para el colectivo profesional.

Authors: De Jesús Rosa Iván , Crespo Vázquez Ángel
Published: December 2021

El artículo presenta un análisis crítico del discurso de las transcripciones de las sesiones legislativas y las ponencias presentadas entorno a la Resolución Concurrente del Senado de Puerto Rico #99 de 2007, que pretendía elevar a rango constitucional el matrimonio heterosexual y prohibir que se le reconocieran derechos similares a los del matrimonio a cualquier otro tipo de uniones familiares. El principal propósito del estudio fue identificar las ideologías que guiaron a los diversos actores sociales en torno a este evento. El enfoque teórico utilizado en el estudio fue la sexualidad desde el poder (Foucault, 2007). Como metodología se utilizó el análisis crítico del discurso expuesto por Fairclough (2005) yFairclough yWodak (1997) citados enLucca yBerríos (2009). El análisis se realizó partiendo de las siguientes dos categorías temáticas: Relación Iglesia-Estado y Masculinidad Hegemónica.
