Relasi Virtual Guru Dan Murid Di Ruang Digital: Studi Atas Laman Website Tarekat Syadziliyah dan Naqsyabandi Haqqani
Authors: Hanif Abdulloh
Published: February 2025

Sufis believe that closeness to God cannot be learned alone through intellectual contemplation, but must be experienced through the guidance of a teacher (murshid). The relationship between a murshid and a salik, which they call a suhbah, is described as a friendly relationship that needs to be established in a friendly atmosphere. So with the spirit of such relationships, it is not surprising that Sufism is now being looked at as a solution to the problems of the contemporary social world. Two large Sufism orders, Naqshbandi Haqqani and Shadziliyah, are examples of orders that have successfully gained popularity. His courage in adapting elements of modernity is also one reason why he is increasingly accepted. This congregation not only allows music and dancing in various traditional celebrations, but also builds virtual spaces and provides online bay'at (initiation) services. This phenomenon then raises at least two questions that want to be addressed in this research: 1) how can digital space bridge tarekat practices, and 2) to what extent can the relationship between murshid and murid be established through digital space? This research is entirely qualitative, based on observations of two websites, sufilive.com (for the Naqsyabandi Haqqani congregation) and suficommunities.org (for the Shadziliyah congregation), as well as reading various literature. Apart from that, this research also wants to use Pierre Bourdieu's genetic structuralism approach as an analytical tool. Therefore, this research wants to evaluate the possibility of several vital changes that occur when a relationship that was initially built on the nuances of intimacy with God is mediated by technology. Although it can be considered that this relationship has found a more modern and rational space for manifestation, the transformation of this virtual relationship (suhbah) is important to be explored in depth.

Published: February 2025

The current study highlights the efficacy of tuber extracts from the Algerian medicinal plant Bunium incrassatatum for their phytochemical content, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. Indeed, the ethanolic maceration method proved to be the most effective for phytochemical extraction, showing the highest yield extraction. Moreover, the ethanolic maceration displayed a higher polyphenol and flavonoid content compared to the methanolic extract. The antioxidant potentials of methanolic and ethanolic extracts of Bunium incrassatum were reported by the DPPH assay, revealing moderate efficacy of IC50 values of 380.53 µg/mL and 261.75 µg/mL, respectively, indicating that both of these extracts can be considered a good resource of natural antioxidants. In terms of antibacterial activity, the methanolic extract exhibited appreciable antimicrobial activities against different bacterial strains like Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Bacillus cereus, and Escherichia coli, with average zones of inhibition of 10.74 mm, 10.14 mm, 10.03 mm, and 9.45 mm, respectively. The present study underlined that the extracts from Bunium incrassatum tubers could be a rich raw material with an interesting profile in phytochemical content, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activities, deserving further studies for applications in drug medicine, therapy, and nutrition.

Published: February 2025

Objectives

Primary hypothyroidism is a prevalent endocrine disorder, typically treated with levothyroxine (LT). However, prolonged use of LT may result in complications and suboptimal outcomes for some patients. Majoone Sarkhas (MS), is a polyherbal formulation comprises four plants: Commiphora mukul, Operculina turpethum, Embelia tseriam-cottam, and Dryopteris filix-mas. It is traditionally used in Unani medicine for managing hypothyroidism associated conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the synergistic effect of Majoone Sarkhas in combination with LT for the treatment of primary hypothyroidism.

Methods

This randomized, single blind, standard clinical trial involved 100 subjects allocated into two groups: an adjuvant treatment group (n=50) and a standard control group (n=50). The adjuvant group received 10 g of MS twice daily in addition LT once daily, while the control group was treated with LT alone once daily. Both groups underwent treatment for 60 days. Changes in thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free tri-iodothyronine (FT3), and free-thyroxine (FT4) levels from baseline to the 60th day were recorded and analyzed statistically to evaluate the outcomes.

Results

The study showed adjuvant group (MS + LT) had more reduction (4.99 vs. 3.93) in serum TSH level in comparison to control group (LT), which was statistically significant (p<0.001), it also showed increase in serum FT3 (2.88 ± 0.31 vs. 2.97 ± 0.44) and FT4 (1.06 ± 0.17 vs. 1.20 ± 0.27) levels, when compared with baseline values and after completion of trial.

Conclusions

The change in thyroid function profiles among adjuvant group, receiving MS with LT in primary hypothyroidism was both clinically and statistically significant. The safety parameters those were followed by serum level of ALT, AST, blood urea and serum creatinine were within the range, indicating the MS is safe medication to be used as an adjuvant therapy with LT (Clinical Trial Registration Code: CTRI/2018/02/011962).
The Play A Maiden’s Love by Maria Kuncewiczowa as an Example of a Representation of the subject of Abortion in Polish Interwar Theatre
Authors: Obarska Marcelina
Published: February 2025

Reproductive rights in Poland have been subject to fight for more than a hundred years. Since Polish independence in 1918, the topic of abortion has been present in literary forms of female artistic expression. One such play is A Maiden’s Love written by Maria Kuncewiczowa in 1932. The protagonist, a young woman named Inka, faces a weighty choice of whether to maintain the pregnancy having been left alone with this decision by her partner. In 1932 the piece was staged in Teatr Maly in Warsaw and widely discussed in the newspapers and magazines. It was also a year when a new penal code was established and abortion was criminalized. The Maiden’s Love conveys that theater can be considered as a form of social relation and that it is inherently interwoven with socio-political and economic discourse. In this paper, I would like to analyse Kuncewiczowa’s strategies for representing the subject of abortion as well as the reception and the critical discourse around of the play from Teatr Maly. I would also like to demonstrate the political potentialites in melodrama.

This study investigates the impact of seawater conditions on the single-lap joint properties of carbon fiber-reinforced vinyl ester resin (CFRP) with various fiber orientations (0°, 45°, and 90°). Specimens were tested under dry, wet, and dried conditions, with seawater immersion durations of 15 and 30 days, followed by a drying process. The failure modes, surface conditions, and chemical bonds were analyzed to understand the mechanism of influence of seawater on lap shear properties. The results show that fiber orientation significantly affects shear strength, with 0° specimens demonstrating the highest shear strength. In contrast, 45° and 90° orientations experienced substantial reductions. Seawater immersion decreased shear strength across all orientations. However, post-immersion drying restored and enhanced shear strength in 0° specimens, provided partial recovery in 45° specimens, and had limited effect on 90° specimens. Surface treatments improved bonding quality, and FTIR analysis indicated no significant permanent chemical changes due to seawater exposure. This research highlights the importance of fiber orientation in CFRP joint design for aerospace and marine applications. It suggests further exploration into long-term environmental effects and advanced surface treatments to enhance performance and durability.
A World of Ideas: Selected Encounters in Architectural History and Philosophical Aesthetics, 1940–80
Authors: Martin Reinhold
Published: February 2025

This article reconstructs a series of encounters between architectural history and philosophical aesthetics in the postwar decades by comparing the discourse of two journals: the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians and the Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism. Shared hermeneutic concepts including “space,” “style,” and “symbol” gained new meaning as historians of architectural modernism drew on, and contributed to, developments within Anglophone analytic thought. For philosophers as well as historians of art and architecture, including early advocates of social history, Panofskian iconology introduced a tension between idealist and materialist approaches that reappeared in the work of figures bridging these discourses, such as James Ackerman, Nelson Goodman, Susanne K. Langer, and Paul Zucker. This tension was temporarily resolved, on the one hand, by a critique of architectural ideology inspired by the New Left, and on the other, by a politically conservative aesthetics of cultural training, most notably advanced by the philosopher Roger Scruton.
Palladio and the “Secrets” of Architectural Proportion
Authors: Hemsoll David
Published: February 2025

The use of architectural dimensions and proportions in Palladio’s work has been an extremely contentious matter ever since the publication in 1949 of Rudolf Wittkower’s Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism. Opinion is currently divided between those who, like Wittkower, believe that the dimensions Palladio provided in his treatise are highly significant and were based on ingenious numerical systems and those who regard them as playing only a marginal role in Palladio’s architecture and its understanding. This article reassesses how Palladio addressed the matter in his treatise, providing fresh insights into the theoretical basis and the complexities of his approach, while positing that the treatise illustrations are close records of his original designs before they were modified during execution. The conclusions reached here call attention to Palladio’s distinctive methods and their remarkable adroitness and effectiveness.

Published: February 2025

Dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON) is the most serious complication associated with Graves’ orbitopathy (GO). The primary treatment approach for DON is high-dose intravenous methylprednisolone infusion and decompression surgery. However, not all patients are suitable candidates for or can tolerate these two treatment options. Here, we present a patient diagnosed with DON in the left eye and central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) in the right eye. Considering that glucocorticoids are contraindicated for CSC and that the patient refused orbital surgery, we opted for intravenous tocilizumab (6 doses of 8 mg/kg every 4 weeks), a monoclonal antibody against the interleukin-6 receptor. After tocilizumab infusion, the disease severity in the left eye improved from DON to moderate to severe GO, with magnetic resonance imaging showing a considerable reduction in inflammation in all affected muscles. Moreover, no adverse effects were observed in this patient. Similarly, two case reports and an observational study including nine patients with DON showed good clinical results after tocilizumab infusion, with no adverse effects having been observed. Our patient was primarily treated with tocilizumab just like one of the previous cases who had uncontrolled diabetes. Tocilizumab could potentially be considered one of the treatment options for DON patients, especially those in whom glucocorticoid therapy is inappropriate. Nonetheless, high-quality studies are warranted to verify the indications for this treatment.

Learning points

Not all patients with DON are suitable candidates for or can tolerate intravenous methylprednisolone infusion.

Tocilizumab, a monoclonal antibody against the interleukin-6 receptor, has been recommended as the second-line option for patients with active moderate to severe steroid-resistant GO.

Tocilizumab could potentially be considered one of the treatment options for DON patients, especially those in whom glucocorticoid therapy is inappropriate.

Authors: Hunter Brittany M. , Castiglioni Cynthia , Nellis Abigail B. , Wood Anna R. , Giblin Brian , Malakooti Marcelo , Stephen Rebecca J.
Published: February 2025

OBJECTIVE

Despite limited evidence for generalized use, high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) use continues to increase in acute respiratory illnesses. We aimed to reduce HFNC length of treatment (LOT) and length of stay (LOS) by 10% for patients aged 1 month to 5 years with bronchiolitis, pneumonia, or asthma receiving HFNC in the emergency department, pediatric floor, or pediatric intensive care unit.

METHODS

Using quality improvement (QI) methods, a multidisciplinary team implemented a weaning algorithm incorporating rapid weaning and discontinuation of HFNC at weight-based flow rates (Holiday). Primary outcome measures were LOT and LOS. Process measures included mean weight-based flow rate at HFNC discontinuation and Holiday occurrences. Balancing measures included readmission rates and positive pressure ventilation (PPV) following a Holiday. Intervention impact was monitored using run charts and statistical process control charts.

RESULTS

A total of 430 patient encounters were included, with 281 in the baseline phase and 149 in the improvement phase. Mean LOT decreased from 55.7 to 39.7 hours. Mean LOS decreased from 94.3 to 70.6 hours. Mean weight-based flow rate at HFNC discontinuation increased from 0.6 L/kg/min to 0.9 L/kg/min. Holiday occurrences increased from 10.9% to 82.8%. All improvements showed nonrandom signal or special cause variation (SCV) on control charts. Use of PPV and readmissions were uncommon before and after the intervention.

CONCLUSIONS

Using QI methodology to implement a weaning algorithm with rapid discontinuation of HFNC at weight-based flow rates for patients with bronchiolitis, pneumonia, and asthma was associated with a 29% reduction in LOT and 25% reduction in LOS.

Published: February 2025

BACKGROUND

SARS-CoV-2 can potentially cause nosocomial outbreaks. Although high secondary attack rates (SARs) among adult roommates have been reported, data on pediatric settings are limited. This study aimed to evaluate the SAR of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections in shared rooms in a children’s hospital.

METHODS

A retrospective chart review from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, was conducted at the National Center for Child Health and Development, one of the largest tertiary children’s hospitals in Japan. According to hospital policy, nucleic acid amplification tests for SARS-CoV-2 were required for all hospitalized patients who developed new-onset fever or respiratory symptoms during the study period. If the test result was positive, confirmed cases with SARS-CoV-2 infection were immediately transferred to an isolation ward, and their remaining roommates were closely monitored for 5 days following the diagnosis of the index case. The SAR of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections among roommates was calculated.

RESULTS

Eighteen patients were identified as index cases with whom a total of 53 roommates had contact. Among these exposed roommates, secondary symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections occurred in 2 shared rooms, and the SAR within 5 days after the exposure from the index case was 5.7% (3/53).

CONCLUSIONS

The SAR of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections in the largest tertiary children’s hospital in Japan was not high in this study. Further studies are warranted to validate our findings and to establish effective isolation and surveillance strategies for SARS-CoV-2 in hospitalized children.

Mortuary Ritual and Society in Bronze Age Cyprus
Authors: Keswani Priscilla
Published: February 2025

Mortuary Ritual and Society in Bronze Age Cyprus is a ground-breaking investigation of burial practices and social transformations in the era when Cypriot agricultural communities moved from village to urban life and became major players in the eastern Mediterranean copper trade.

Confronting the many interpretive challenges posed by tombs used for multiple interments, the author develops an innovative theoretical and methodological approach that enables her to define and elucidate the shifting spatial relationships between tombs and habitation areas, the elaboration of rituals involving secondary treatment and collective burial, and changing patterns of mortuary expenditure and symbolism throughout the Bronze Age.

Keswani proposes that during the Early-Middle Bronze periods, the growing elaboration of mortuary festivities and their crucial importance in negotiating status hierarchies contributed to the intensification of Cypriot copper production and the expansion of interregional exchange relations. This helped set the stage for the rise of urban polities early in the Late Bronze Age, when the presence of hereditary elites first becomes apparent in the Cypriot archaeological record. Subsequent changes in mortuary practice suggest that the importance of collective burial rites and traditional modes of ritual display diminished over the course of the Late Bronze Age, as urban institutions multiplied and the bases of social prestige were transformed.

Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT Introduction Burnout Syndrome is a set of psychological symptoms arising from chronic workplace stress, with increased prevalence during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aimed to assess burnout prevalence and associated factors among physicians in Porto Velho, RO, Brazil, during the pandemic. Methods This cross-sectional study utilized the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), completed by physicians who provided informed consent between August 2021 and May 2022. Recruitment occurred via messages and direct outreach in hospitals and clinics. Variables were classified as quantitative or qualitative. Fisher’s exact test (one-tailed) was applied to qualitative variables (p < 0.05), while the Mann-Whitney U (one-tailed, 95% significance) and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for quantitative data. Mean values’ confidence intervals were based on the Z test. Results Among 138 participants, 63% were female, with a mean age of 30 years, and 69.56% had under 10 years of medical experience. Burnout prevalence was 77.5% (107/138), with 43.48% (60/138) showing emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Factors associated with burnout included being female, under 30 years, single, and working on the frontline. Marriage and having children appeared as potential protective factors. Conclusions High levels of burnout syndrome were observed among participants, with findings highlighting associated factors consistent with the literature. This study underscores the mental health challenges faced by physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Instabilidade capitalista e demanda efetiva (a razão de Kalecki)
Authors: BRAGA JOSÉ CARLOS DE SOUZA
Published: February 2025

RESUMO No que diz respeito à controvérsia em torno da procura efetiva e ao trabalho de Michal Kalecki, deve entender-se que ele não só formulou uma teoria adequada dos ciclos econômicos, mas, ao revelar os limites desta teoria, tratou de um conjunto mais complexo de problemas que são específicas do movimento do capitalismo: a questão da determinação simultânea de ciclos e tendências. Desenvolver esta teoria implica reformular os conceitos acima, a fim de compreender a antinomia da tendência no capitalismo e as suas interações com flutuações e circunstâncias em mudança. Isto, por sua vez, requer uma crítica do conceito de tempo económico ou, mais precisamente, uma clarificação da temporalidade capitalista. É também necessário reavaliar o estatuto teórico do princípio da procura efetiva, em relação a uma teoria do capital e do cálculo capitalista, dentro de uma teoria da instabilidade; a temporalização deste princípio, tal como efetuada nos modelos macroeconómicos, não é suficiente para a compreensão da dinâmica capitalista como um todo.
Dinheiro e transformação em Marx
Authors: TOLIPAN RICARDO
Published: February 2025

RESUMO O problema da transformação é uma das características básicas do discurso marxista e da sua crítica à economia clássica. A solução de Bortkiewicz para o erro na formulação algébrica deste problema envolve especificações estritas do numéraire usado para expressar preços e valores. Este artigo pretende mostrar que estas especificações não só não contradizem a teoria monetária de Marx, mas realmente a implicam, uma vez que abandonamos o trabalho como substância que determina o valor. O artigo também sugere que o dinheiro como “equivalente geral” é o verdadeiro meio através do qual a transformação é possível e deve substituir o “trabalho” na expressão da ideia de uma “energia social” que determina os valores de troca capitalistas.
A evolução da indústria petroquímica brasileira e o modelo tripartite de empresa
Authors: SUAREZ MARCUS ALBAN
Published: February 2025

RESUMO A evolução da indústria petroquímica brasileira é analisada com base no modelo de desenvolvimento econômico instaurado na segunda metade da década de 1950 e no sistema político instaurado em 1964. A indefinição do Estado no primeiro período desta indústria (48-64) mantém o crescimento do setor em proporção adequada ao modelo econômico exigindo um grande salto no segundo período (64-80), possibilitado pelo empreendimento “tripartite” (associação entre Estado, capital local e multinacionais). Quando as condições que sustentam este papel empresarial terminam, ele começa a desmoronar e os empresários privados locais ficam mais dependentes das suas próprias capacidades para competir com as multinacionais num processo que parece desenhar as características da terceira fase da indústria.
Real-time concrete strength monitoring: an IoT-enabled framework integrating electrochemical and fiber optic sensors for structural integrity assessment
Authors: Govindaraju Silambarasan , Basha Gulshan Taj Mohammed Nabi Anwar
Published: February 2025

ABSTRACT This study develops an IoT-based real-time framework for monitoring concrete strength in structural frameworks, utilizing electrochemical and fiber optic sensors to enhance construction quality control and structural health monitoring. Accurate assessment of concrete strength is vital for ensuring the safety and longevity of infrastructure. Traditional testing methods, which are periodic and invasive, often fail to provide timely data on strength progression. This framework overcomes these limitations by enabling continuous, in-situ monitoring. Electrochemical sensors measure variations in the chemical environment of concrete, which correlate with strength development. Simultaneously, fiber optic sensors monitor strain and temperature changes, providing real-time insights into structural responses under load. The data collected by these sensors are analysed using the Plowman method and regression curve analysis, offering high precision in detecting early-stage strength development and modelling its progression over time. The system incorporates wireless data transmission to a central cloud-based server for storage, processing, and visualization. This approach ensures enhanced lifecycle management and resilience of infrastructures. By demonstrating the efficacy of this IoT-based monitoring system, the study underscores its potential to revolutionize construction practices. It provides a robust solution for real-time quality assurance, structural health monitoring, sustainable lifecycle management, and resilient infrastructures.
Evaluation of self compacting concrete performance incorporated with presoaked lightweight aggregates
Authors: Rajamanickam Gopi , Vaiyapuri Revathi
Published: February 2025

Abstract The study aims the performance of presoaked light expanded clay aggregate (LECA) and fly ash aggregate (FAA) as partial replacement of river sand in self compacting concrete (SCC). On a volume basis, presoaked LECA and FAA partially replace river sand. LECA and FAA are presoaked for 24 hours before casting of SCC. The water retained in the lightweight aggregates (LWAs) pores acts as an internal curing reservoir. SCC workability characteristics, including as flowability, filling and passing capabilities, resistance to segregation, and concrete bleeding, were evaluated using slump cones, U-boxes, L-boxes, V-Funnels, and J-ring tests. Addition of LECA and FAA reduces the water for curing and also attain good workability and strength of SCC. The durability characteristics such as sulphate attack, acid attack are conducted in various durations like 7, 28, 56, 90, 180 days. Further, bond strength and accelerated corrosion tests also conducted. From all the mechanical and durability tests on SCC with LECA and FAA by 15% replacement for fine aggregate shows more beneficial effect in strength, microstructural and durability properties than those demonstrated by control mix concrete.

Objetivo validar un modelo de la versión reducida de la Escala Brasileña de Distrés Moral en Enfermeros. Método estudio metodológico, con una muestra de 269 enfermeros de un hospital universitario público del sur de Brasil. Se utilizaron un cuestionario sociodemográfico y la Escala Brasileña de Distrés Moral en Enfermeros. Para el análisis estadístico descriptivo se emplearon el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales y el análisis de invarianza entre los grupos de edad. Resultados en cuanto al perfil, predominaron los profesionales con edades entre 31 y 40 años, mujeres, casados, especialistas. El modelo estructural se ajustó a los datos, con índices de ajuste aceptables. El modelo propuesto presentó excelente consistencia interna, validez convergente y discriminante. El análisis del modelo estructural reveló que las cinco hipótesis fueron confirmadas y la invarianza entre grupos de edad indica que la forma en que se conceptualizan, miden e interrelacionan las variables en el modelo no afecta los resultados, independientemente de los grupos comparados Conclusión la escala alcanzó indicadores psicométricos satisfactorios, demostrando ser adecuada para su uso, manteniendo los elementos de validación relevantes por dimensión y ofreciendo ventajas prácticas. Se sugiere que se realicen más investigaciones para profundizar la comprensión de las consecuencias del distrés moral y desarrollar estrategias efectivas para su manejo.

Objective to learn about the contributions of using clinical simulation with undergraduate health students to care for adolescent girls in situations of intimate partner violence in the context of Primary Health Care. Method a qualitative study with 30 medical and 28 nursing undergraduates from a public university in Brazil. Data collection was mediated by holistic debriefing, with subsequent reflective and inductive thematic analysis. Results two themes emerged: the complexity of violence and the skills developed using simulation. The students brought up the complexity of care due to family aspects, the particularities of the population, the ambivalence of feelings in a violent relationship, and the limit between preserving autonomy and the obligation to report. Various skills were developed and practiced, such as conflict mediation skills, respect, bonding, welcoming, and recognizing the support network. Conclusion the use of simulation proved to be a powerful tool for the teaching-learning process in undergraduate courses, as it allowed reflection on the specificities of adolescent care. The qualitative look at the process also allowed us to delve into how this strategy can be coherent with complex themes that involve the acquisition and experimentation of cognitive, procedural, and attitudinal skills.

Objetivo conhecer as contribuições do uso de simulação clínica, com graduandos da área da saúde, para o atendimento à mulher adolescente em situação de violência por parceiro íntimo no contexto da Atenção Primária à Saúde. Método estudo qualitativo, desenvolvido com 30 graduandos em Medicina e 28 em Enfermagem de uma universidade pública. A coleta de dados foi mediada pelo debriefing holístico, com posterior análise temática, reflexiva e indutiva. Resultados emergiram dois temas: A complexidade da violência e Competências desenvolvidas com o uso da simulação. Os estudantes trouxeram a complexidade do atendimento devido a aspectos familiares, particularidades da população, ambivalência de sentimentos em um relacionamento violento e o limite entre a preservação da autonomia e a obrigatoriedade da denúncia. Foram desenvolvidas e exercitadas diversas competências, como habilidade de mediação de conflitos, respeito, vínculo, acolhimento e reconhecimento da rede de apoio. Conclusão o uso da simulação se apresentou como potente ferramenta para o processo ensino-aprendizagem na graduação desses cursos, ao permitir reflexões sobre as especificidades no atendimento de adolescentes. O olhar qualitativo ao processo também permitiu aprofundar como esta estratégia pode ser coerente a temas complexos, que envolvem a aquisição e experimentação de competências cognitivas, procedimentais e atitudinais.

Objective: to analyze the constituent elements that support nursing consultations with people with diabetes mellitus, and to develop an educational process based on the assumptions of the Chronic Conditions Care Model and mediated by a reflective-dialogical process with nurses, aiming to improve the quality of the practice in the Family Health Strategy. Method: convergent care research carried out with 12 nurses. Participant observation, semi-structured individual interviews and convergence groups were used to collect data, which were treated by participatory analysis, with an interpretative approach. Results: the promotion of self-care, the bond between professionals and users, and the support for lifestyle changes for people with diabetes were aligned with the proposed Care Model. On the other hand, attitudes, values and knowledge that weaken care were identified as divergent. The theoretical and practical deepening of the care model, diabetes, dealing with work overload, and the implementation of a guide and a protocol for the development of the nursing consultation were points of convergence for improving the quality of the consultation. It was also observed that nurses’ autonomy was strengthened, critical thinking was awakened, and the search for improvement and redefinition of the relationship with the user was sought. Conclusion: the nursing consultation was enhanced through the active participation of nurses in an educational, reflective and dialogical process.

Authors: Costa Bruno Lazzarotti Diniz , Brandão Lucas Augusto de Lima
Published: February 2025

RESUMO Introdução: A capacidade docente desempenha um papel central no desempenho educacional. Sua distribuição equitativa é essencial para reduzir desigualdades e promover a equidade e a qualidade do ensino. Este estudo investigou como a capacidade docente foi distribuída entre as escolas brasileiras e como essa distribuição variou entre 2013 e 2023. Materiais e métodos: Foi desenvolvido um índice de capacidade docente baseado em indicadores de formação, adequação, regularidade e esforço, utilizando dados do Censo Escolar. As médias e variações desse índice foram analisadas por escola, considerando o período de 2013 a 2023, e comparadas por nível socioeconômico, regiões e dependência administrativa. Regressões lineares foram realizadas para identificar os fatores determinantes da variação do índice. Resultados: Os resultados indicam uma distribuição desigual da capacidade docente, com índices mais baixos em escolas municipais, nas regiões Norte e Nordeste, e em instituições de menor nível socioeconômico. No entanto, ao longo da década, houve melhorias significativas, especialmente nas redes mais vulneráveis, o que contribuiu para a redução dessas disparidades. Discussão: Apesar dos avanços observados, as desigualdades na capacidade docente persistem, destacando a necessidade de políticas educacionais contínuas voltadas para a equidade e a qualidade, especialmente em regiões menos favorecidas. As melhorias registradas sugerem que investimentos direcionados são eficazes na redução das disparidades, embora desafios relacionados à distribuição equitativa de recursos docentes ainda permaneçam.
