Viver, sentir, esquecer: apostasia na trajetória de Rachel de Queiroz
Authors: Alves Plauto Daniel Santos , Rodrigues Beatriz
Published: February 2021

Esse artigo apresenta reflexões sobre as múltiplas identidades e versões de si que perpassam as narrativas da escritora Rachel de Queiroz. O enfoque recai sobre as redes de sociabilidades, os afetos e os sentimentos que transpassaram e emergiram no processo de sua cisão com o Partido Comunista. Para tanto, categorias próprias ao campo da História Intelectual (como o conceito de microclima) e aos estudos voltados à memória (como a noção de esquecimento) se fazem importantes. O trabalho torna possível nuançar e perceber as tensões e silêncios que perpassam tanto a identidade pueril e jovial quanto a identidade mais intelectualizada e circunscrita à maturidade da escritora. Percebe-se que a ruptura de Rachel de Queiroz com as esquerdas não possui um marco definitivo, tratando-se de um processo paulatino e difuso ocorrido entre os anos de 1935 e 1940, marcado ora por aproximações, ora por distanciamentos e composto por uma intricada rede afetiva. Assim, as tramas históricas, políticas e literárias de Rachel de Queiroz compõem um cenário complexo para suas identidades, no qual estão entrelaçados os sentimentos, os afetos, os desejos, os medos, as dores, dentre outros elementos da sensibilidade da escritora.
Gênero, corpo e colonialidade: deslocamentos epistemológicos e feminismos a margem do sul global
Authors: Machado Flávia Pereira
Published: February 2021

No presente artigo proponho evidenciar os elementos centrais que demarcam os feminismos latino-americanos a partir dos deslocamentos epistemológicos engendrados no Sul global em contraposição às perspectivas eurocentradas e, em especial, ao feminismo hegemônico/ocidental. Para tanto, recorro a uma revisão da literatura em torno da crítica à colonialidade do poder, colonialidade de gênero e colonialidade discursiva dos feminismos hegemônicos no sul a partir dos debates engendrados pelas críticas feministas decoloniais, no sentido da construção de um conhecimento situado para a produção de epistemologias feministas latino-americanas a partir das margens (BIDASECA et al, 2011). O objetivo é situar teoricamente o conceito de feminismos decoloniais como categoria-ferramenta de análise.

Authors: Park Jihwan , Jeong Jo-Eun , Rho Mi Jung
Published: February 2021

Objective Smartphones have become common, and problematic smartphone use (PSU) is increasing. Predictors of PSU should be identified to prevent it. Little is known about the role of content types of smartphone use as predictors of PSU. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the predictors of two proposed concepts of PSU, namely habitual smartphone behavior (SB) and addictive SB, within the context of the application (app) categories.Methods We studied 1,039 smartphone users using online surveys conducted between January 2 and 31, 2019. We employed multiple regression analysis to identify the predictors of habitual and addictive SB. We controlled for sex and age (mean=39.20).Results Common predictors of habitual and addictive SB were the use of social networking services, games, entertainment apps, and average weekend smartphone usage time. The predictors of habitual SB were the use of web and lifestyle apps, weekly usage frequency, and sex (female) and the predictors of addictive SB were the use of shopping apps and sleep duration.Conclusion This study revealed the need to consider habitual and addictive SB in evaluating PSU. The predictors in terms of the content types of smartphone usage can be used to develop monitoring and prevention services for PSU.

Published: February 2021

This descriptive study was conducted to identify the motivation levels of university students, factors affecting their motivation, and students' opinions concerning their professions. The study sample consisted of 211 students attending the Vocational School of Health Services. Data were assembled using a “Questionnaire Form” and the “Motivation Sources and Problems Scale”. Frequency, percentage, arithmetic mean values, and the chi-square, independent group Student t-test, Mann Whitney U, ANOVA, and Kruskal Wallis tests were used for data analysis. Students’ mean scores were 41.06 ± 7.17 on the intrinsic motivation sub-dimension, 20.27±3.15 on the extrinsic motivation sub-dimension, and 25.08 ± 6.76 on the negative motivation sub-dimension, with a mean overall score of 86.41 ± 12.73. It is found that 91.5% of students had chosen their profession of their own volition and that 66.4% regarded their profession as important. In conclusion, students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation levels were high, while negative motivation was low. Helping others, ease of finding employment, and selecting their professions of their own volition affect students’ professional motivation. Students also thought that the working hours were not excessively demanding and wished to engage in their professions after graduation.

Authors: Jones Peter , Comfort Daphne
Published: February 2021

The concept of resilience, loosely defined as the ability to withstand or to bounce back from adversity and disruption, is attracting increasing attention within the social sciences. Within the policy arena, local and community based resilience strategies are playing an important part in responses to the challenge of unpredictable and disruptive events. This short exploratory paper looks to add to the literature on community resilience by exploring the work of the Local Resilience Forums in England. The Local Resilience Forums are multi-agency partnerships made up of a range of agencies including the police authority, local authorities, the fire and rescue services, the National Health Service and the Environment Agency, that serve communities defined by the boundaries of police areas. The paper outlines definitions of resilience and of community resilience, provides an exploratory review of the characteristics and workings of the Local Resilience Forums and offers some concluding reflections on the employment of the concept at the community level and by the LRF’s. Keywords: Resilience, Local Resilience Forum, Police Authority, Measurement, Governance, England.

Authors: Khlaif Omar Anmar , Abdulrazzaq Khalid adel , Mohammed Athraa Hashim
Published: February 2021

Surface water samples from different locations within Tigris River's boundaries in Baghdad city have been analyzed for drinking purposes. Correlation coefficients among different parameters were determined. An attempt has been made to develop linear regression equations to predict the concentration of water quality constituents having significant correlation coefficients with electrical conductivity (EC). This study aims to find five regression models produced and validated using electrical conductivity as a predictor to predict total hardness (TH), calcium (Ca), chloride (Cl), sulfate (SO4), and total dissolved solids (TDS). The five models showed good/excellent prediction ability of the parameters mentioned above, which is a very good startup to establish a rule of thumb in the laboratories to compare between observations. The importance of linear regression equations in predicting surface water quality parameters is a method that can be applied to any other location.

Review of orthogonally polarized RF photonic single sideband generators based on CMOS compatible micro-ring resonators
Authors: Moss David
Published: February 2021

We review recent work on narrowband orthogonally polarized optical RF single sideband generators as well as dual-channel equalization, both based on high-Q integrated ring resonators. The devices operate in the optical telecommunications C-band and enable RF operation over a range of either fixed or thermally tuneable frequencies. They operate via TE/TM mode birefringence in the resonator. We achieve a very large dynamic tuning range of over 55 dB for both the optical carrier-to-sideband ratio and the dual-channel RF equalization for both the fixed and tunable devices.

The Double Bind of Qualitative Comparative Analysis
Authors: Arel-Bundock Vincent
Published: February 2021

Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is an influential methodological approach motivated by set theory and boolean logic. QCA proponents have developed algorithms to analyze quantitative data, in a bid to uncover necessary and sufficient conditions where causal relationships are complex, conditional, or asymmetric. This article uses computer simulations to show that researchers in the QCA tradition face a vexing double bind. On the one hand, QCA algorithms often require large data sets in order to recover an accurate causal model, even if that model is relatively simple. On the other hand, as data sets increase in size, it becomes harder to guarantee data integrity, and QCA algorithms can be highly sensitive to measurement error, data entry mistakes, or misclassification.

Motivational Interviewing Strategies for Addressing COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy
Authors: Boness Cassandra L. , Nelson Mackenzie , Douaihy Antoine
Published: February 2021

SARS-CoV-2, or COVID-19, vaccination hesitancy, defined as a behavioral phenomenon whereby individuals neither fully accept nor fully reject COVID-19 vaccination, presents a major health threat in the midst of the current pandemic. Traditional approaches for addressing vaccine hesitancy in health care lack empirical support and, in some instances, have actually increased vaccine hesitancy. Thus, there is an urgent need for approaches that effectively address COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, especially in health care settings. The current manuscript highlights the need for and importance of motivational interviewing (MI), which emphasizes collaborative communication between physicians and patients, in addressing vaccine hesitancy. We describe a three-step process for addressing COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy which includes using a guiding style, using the MI toolbox, and responding mindfully and skillfully to the individual’s degree of hesitancy. The discussion concludes with a consideration of possible challenges in implementing these steps when addressing and resolving COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy

Speech-specific perceptual adaptation deficits in children and adults with dyslexia
Authors: Ozernov-Palchik Ola , Beach Sara D , Brown Meredith , Centanni Tracy , Gaab Nadine , Kuperberg Gina , Perrachione Tyler , Gabrieli John
Published: February 2021

According to several influential theoretical frameworks, phonological deficits in dyslexia result from reduced sensitivity to acoustic cues that are essential for the development of robust phonemic representations. Some accounts suggest that these deficits arise from impairments in rapid auditory adaptation processes that are either speech-specific or domain-general. Here, we examined the specificity of auditory adaptation deficits in dyslexia using a non-linguistic tone anchoring (adaptation) task and a linguistic selective adaptation task in children and adults with and without dyslexia. Children and adults with dyslexia had elevated tone-frequency discrimination thresholds, but both groups benefitted from anchoring to repeated stimuli to the same extent as typical readers. Additionally, although both dyslexia groups had overall reduced accuracy for speech sound identification, only the child group had reduced categorical perception for speech. Across both age groups, individuals with dyslexia had reduced perceptual adaptation to speech. These results highlight broad auditory perceptual deficits across development in individuals with dyslexia for both linguistic and non-linguistic domains, but speech-specific adaptation deficits. Finally, mediation models in children and adults revealed that the causal pathways from basic perception and adaptation to phonological awareness through speech categorization were not significant. Thus, rather than having causal effects, perceptual deficits may co-occur with the phonological deficits in dyslexia across development.
An isolated, implausibly large effect in a case-control study of digit ratio (2D:4D) and male androgenetic alopecia: Comment on Unal (J Cosmet Dermatol 2018;17(3):545-548)
Authors: Voracek Martin
Published: February 2021

Cumulated research evidence suggests that digit ratio (2D:4D) associations with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) either are negligible or nonexistent. 2D:4D (a putative pointer to the prenatal sex-hormonal milieu) most likely is not an indicator of male AGA. The magnitude of an isolated left-hand 2D:4D effect on male AGA, as reported in one study (Unal, 2018, J Cosmet Dermatol), deviates so conspicuously from all analogous studies as to raise the question of whether it is veridical.
Digit ratio (2D:4D) researchers on 2D:4D research: An expert survey
Authors: Voracek Martin
Published: February 2021

Research into the second-to-fourth digit ratio (2D:4D), an assumed negative correlate of prenatal testosterone, has grown substantially over the past decade, so interim stocktaking of this field seems appropriate. Forty-four (38% of all) corresponding authors of 2D:4D articles participated in an expert opinion survey, indicating their perceptions of 2D:4D research (top insights/achievements, gaps/desiderata, problems/pitfalls, prospects/expectations). Major themes emerging from these researchers’ content-analyzed survey responses included: calls for a general framework and research integration; for more theoretical rigor, experimental evidence, longitudinal studies, and animal research; and for measurement, methodology, study design, and data analysis standards in 2D:4D research. Mentioned high-priority issues of 2D:4D research, needed to be addressed and solved, included: lacking validation studies of 2D:4D (what it actually indexes, why it is influenced by prenatal hormones, including elucidation of its genetics), small effects, inconsistent or unreplicable findings, prevalence of correlational or underpowered studies, publication bias, and sparseness of meta-analyses.

In this paper, we aimed to test whether we could predict sport type (badminton or running) and marathon proficiency from the valence, form, and content of the athletes’ self-reported inner speech. Additionally, we wanted to assess the difference between self-talk during high intensity and low intensity exercise. The present study corroborated existing research – we were able to predict both sport type in Study 1 and intensity level as well as marathon proficiency in Study 2 from questionnaire data using machine learning models. In Study 1, we found that badminton players engage more in worry and anxiety-control while runners are more prone to task disengagement. Interestingly, it seemed in Study 2 that the more participants engaged in condensed, positive, and repetitive self-talk when not pushing themselves, the slower their fastest marathons and half marathons were. We discuss potential explanations for these findings and make suggestions for future research.

External sources of information determine human actions. However, psychological traits (PTs), considered internal variables, also play a crucial role in decision-making. PTs are stable across time and contexts, and they define the set of behavioral repertoires that individuals express. Here, we explored how multiple metrics of adaptive behavior under uncertainty related to several PTs. Participants solved a multiple baseline reversal-learning task with volatile contingencies, from where we characterized a detailed behavioral profile based on a wide variety of measurements from their response sequences. We then tested the relationship between the multimetric behavioral profile and a wide range of self-reported psychological questionnaires. The PT measurements were based on the Hierarchical Taxonomy Of Psychopathology (HiTOP) model. We found that the learning curves alone predicted important differences in the PTs, and task response times. Similarly, the behavioral profile configurations predicted the PTs, and could be used as a ‘fingerprint’ to identify participants with a high certainty level. We discuss how this characterization could contribute to constructing a better nosological classification.

The contributions of gender socialization and direct hormonal action on the brain in the development of human behavioral sex differences are subjects of intense scientific and social interest. Prior research indicates masculinized behavioral patterns in individuals with high prenatal androgen exposure raised as girls, but complementary evidence regarding individuals with low prenatal androgens raised as boys is critically lacking. We investigated recalled childhood gender nonconformity (CGN) in men (n = 65) and women (n = 32) with isolated GnRH deficiency (IGD) and typically developing men (n = 463) and women (n = 1207). IGD is characterized by low or absent gonadal hormone production after the first trimester of gestation until hormone replacement therapy initiation around the time of puberty, but external appearance is concordant with chromosomal and gonadal sex. Compared to typically developing men, men with IGD reported higher CGN, particularly if they also reported cryptorchidism at birth, a marker of low perinatal androgens. Women with IGD did not differ from typically developing women. These results suggest that early androgen exposure after the first trimester contributes to male-typical gender role behaviors in childhood.
Study of vulvovaginal candidiasis in symptomatic women of reproductive age group attending tertiary care institute, Haryana province
Authors: K Gulnar , Multani Harman
Published: February 2021

Background: Abnormal vaginal discharge results from a variety of infectious and noninfectious causes. Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is caused by the overgrowth of Candida species in the vagina and is characterized by itching, erythema and curd like vaginal discharge. Vulvovaginal candidiasis is most often caused by Candida albicans, however, other species of Candida such as Candida glabrata, Candida parapsilosis, and Candida tropicalis are emerging.
Aims and Objectives: The current study was designed to study microbiological diagnosis and anti-fungal susceptibility testing of vulvovaginal candidiasis in symptomatic women of reproductive age group attending our tertiary care institute.
Materials and Methods: The present study was conducted in female patients in the reproductive age group (15 to 50 years), with the complaint of excessive vaginal discharge. Vaginal swabs collected from patients with abnormal vaginal discharge were processed for direct examination of the Candida species. Results of the culture and antimicrobial sensitivity testing were documented. Collected data was entered in Microsoft excel sheet and analysed. Statistical analysis was done using descriptive statistics.
Results: During study period 300 patients were included for this study after satisfying inclusion and exclusion criteria. All patients underwent microbiological study of vaginal discharge sample to diagnose vulvovaginalcandidiasis. Total 300 samples were tested, out of which 18.33% (55 samples) were tested positive for candidiasis. Positive samples were studied further. In present study 26-30 years age group (25%) was most common age group followed by 31-35 years (24%). Vaginal/vulvar itch (85%), vaginal malodour (78%) and vaginal discharge (71%) were most common symptoms noted in present study. Previous history of similar complaints in past (38%), history of recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (16%) and antibiotic use (15%) were most common predisposing factors for vaginal candidiasis in present study. Out of 55 isolates, Candida albicans (65%) was most common followed by Candida tropicalis (24%) and Candida glabrata (11%). Antifungal susceptibility was best for amphotericin B followed by clotrimazole, miconazole and least for fluconazole.
Conclusion: Vaginal candidiasis is a common infection in women worldwide. Definitive laboratory procedures are of paramount importance to identify Candida isolates from suspected VVC cases to a species level toensure appropriate and effective use of antifungal agents.

Background: Dermatology referrals play a vital role in patient care as well as in training for non-dermatologists. In present scenario of changing health care need and delivery, it would be of interest to doctors and policy makers to know the magnitude and reasons for dermatology consultations and its impact on patient care.
Aims and Objectives: This study was conducted to describe demography of dermatology referrals and to analyse diagnostic accuracy of non-dermatologists and its impact on patient care.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Manipal College of Medical Sciences, Pokhara. Preformed proforma having demographic data and details of referrals were recorded. Analysis of diagnostic accuracy by non-dermatologist was carried out.
Results: Out of 174 referrals, men and women were equal in number with Mean age of 35.6 ± 22.3 years. Referrals were more frequent from Internal medicine 40 (23%). The most common complaint in referral sheet was skin rashes of different types in 85 (48.9%). Primary department didn’t offer treatment for skin lesions/symptoms in 73 (42%) of cases. After receiving referrals, dermatologists were able to diagnose clinically in 110 (63.2%) cases, in the rest, help of laboratory, imaging techniques and histopathology were needed. Cutaneous viral infections were the commonest dermatological diagnosis in 30 (17.2%) cases, followed by eczema/dermatitis in 174 (2.3%) cases. Primary department made correct diagnosis in only 83 (47.7%) cases.
Conclusions: Non-dermatologists do have difficulties in identifying and addressing skin lesions and symptoms and there is benefit from dermatology consultations. Furthermore, dermatology consultations do have high educational value for non-dermatologists.
