THE EFFECTS OF MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE ON LOCAL TISSUE WATER RATES AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN INDIVIDUALS DIAGNOSED WITH CHRONIC VENOUS DISEASE WITH AND WITHOUT VENOUS REFLUX: A PILOT STUDY
Authors: SAKIZLI ERDAL Elif , OZER Abdullah , CİNDİL Emetullah , KESER İlke
Published: August 2022

Background: Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is an alternative treatment approach that can be used in patients with a diagnosis of Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI). This study aimed to examine the effects of MLD on local tissue water and quality of life (QoL) in CVI patients. Methods: Ten patients were included in the study. The patients with venous reflux greater than 0.5 seconds enrolled in the CVI group, and individuals without venous reflux were categorized as the Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) group. The water percentages in the local tissue were measured with the MoistureMeterD Compact device. QoL was assessed with the Venous Insufficiency Epidemiologic and Economic Study Quality-of-Life Questionnaire (VEINES-QOL/Sym). Results: Symptom score increased from 32.60±5.68 to 36.40±6.95, and total QoL score increased from 51.8±5.89 to 55.6±5.32 significantly in patients with CVD. Symptom score increased from 29.00±5.96 to 34.00±6.12, and total QoL score increased from 47.20±8.58 to 52.00±5.96 significantly in patients with CVI. No more significant improvement in quality of life in either CVI or CVD group (p>0.05). MLD has an effect on the water absorption from the local tissue in the CVD although this decrease was not statistically significant, and it was insufficient in the CVI stage (p>0.05). Conclusion: It was thought that MLD could provide relief in the symptoms and an improvement in QoL, independent of the presence of venous reflux. In future studies, the change in the local tissue water with MLD should be examined in patients with CVI with a larger number of patients.

O problema da alienação do trabalho em Marx e a necessidade de sua suprassunção
Authors: Monzelli Arthur Guilherme
Published: August 2022

Este artigo analisa o problema da alienação do trabalho em Karl Marx e como essa discussão se desenvolve nos Ökonomisch-philosophische Manuskripte [Manuscritos econômico-filosóficos], rascunho monográfico escrito por esse autor durante seu exílio em Paris no ano de 1844. Além disso, o problema da alienação do trabalho foi examinado em virtude das contribuições teóricas de István Mészáros, para quem a chave de interpretação da alienação do trabalho marxiana é justamente a necessidade de sua suprassunção [Aufhebung] por meio do comunismo. Finalmente, a fim de entender como o comunismo foi interpretado por Marx e Engels como alternativa de suprassunção da alienação do trabalho, realiza-se o estudo de Die heilige Familie [A sagrada família] (1845), de Die deutsche Ideologie [A ideologia alemã] (1846) e de Das kapital [O capital] (1867).
DE LA DESCENTRALIZACIÓN TOP DOWN A LA BOTTOM-UP. DISPOSICIONES Y ACTITUDES REGIONALES PARA EL DESARROLLO TERRITORIAL EN CHILE.
Authors: DELA MAZA GONZALO , DIAZ GUILLERMO , MONTECINOS EGON , PAREJA CLAUDIO
Published: August 2022

Los procesos de descentralización se han convertido en foco de estudio para comprender el desarrollo regional y local. Asimismo, los efectos de la descentralización no serí­an iguales en todas las regiones, dando relevancia al tipo de sociedad regional que se configura en cada territorio. El año 2021 se concretó en Chile la elección de gobernadores regionales, principal hito de descentralización polí­tica para regiones en nuestra historia republicana. Hasta ahora, el proceso de descentralización y sus reformas ha sido conducido y liderado por la elite polí­tica que mayoritariamente posee una vocación centralista. Por tal razón, las reformas han sido el producto del acuerdo de estas elites nacionales y no de una presión ciudadana de regiones por cambios. A partir de una encuesta con representatividad regional aplicada el 2019, este artí­culo analiza las condiciones socioterritoriales existentes en las regiones de Chile, entiéndase por ello percepciones, actitudes y precondiciones de los actores territoriales donde se desarrollará el proceso de descentralización, a fin de caracterizarlas y de estimar los posibles desenlaces del proceso de descentralización en cada una de ellas. Se concluye que existen diferencias marcadas entre las regiones estudiadas en cuanto a expectativas y a niveles de participación las que hacen prever comportamientos disí­miles de cada una de ellas frente al proceso de regionalización.
Immanuel Wallerstein's Theory of the World System, Geopolitics and Geoculture
Authors: Asad Zaman
Published: August 2022

A world system theorist, Immanuel Wallerstein attempts to describe a modern world system covering economic, political and cultural areas. In his theory, he argues that the conflicts between the countries which determine the world order in these areas are not true conflicts because the modern world system is built on a capitalist economic basis. He regards powerful states such as the United States of America, Russia, Japan and European States, which seem to be engaged in a competition, as global collaborators of a single modern world system. At the head of this cooperation is the United States of America and the world system is based on the hegemony of the United States of America. Wallerstein maintains that the modern world system is fragile due to economic crises that are likely to arise and regards the period we are in as a post-liberalism period where this hegemony has begun to collapse.

Assessment of genetic diversity in F2 rice seed population of a cross between Tulaipanji and Ranjit using morphological, physicochemical and SSR markers
Authors: Roy Subhas Chandra
Published: August 2022

Tulaipanji rice (Oryza sativa L.) variety is a region specific traditional cultivar of North Dinajpur district (West Bengal). It is low yielding (1.8th) cultivar due to their poor harvest index and other genetic factors such as tendency to lodging and susceptibility to foliar diseases such as blast and bacterial blight, tungro virus etc. Tulaipanji Basmati aromatic and people prefer it due to its soft fluffy grain quality with mild fragrance and easy to digest. Hence it has high demand in the market and costs Rs. 80/kg. Demand gap can be fulfilled by developing a new improved variety of Tulipanji combining its grain quality attributes with high yield potential genes/QTLs and resistance to diseases. Hybridization was made (during kharif season 2011) between Tulaipanji and Ranjit (HYV) for the introgression of short stature, high yielding responsible genes/QTLs from Ranjit to Tulaipanji for its improvement. F2 seeds population were collected and analysed based on morphological and physicochemical parameters for their genetic variability and screening. Genetic diversity among the Fl plants and parental lines were analysed using microsatellite based SSR primer in PCR amplification. SSR markers in relation to disease resistance gene/QTL such as Xa21, Pita440 and Pib sub 3-5 were used to screen the breeding lines. Xa21specific amplified band was observed in cultivar Ranjit (HYV) which was located on chromosome 6 (resistance gene/QTL for bacterial blight) and accordingly introgressed into one of the line of F1 plants (Tulaipanji x Ranjit). There was no gene/QTL specific band was amplified for SSR marker of Pi440 and Pib sub 3-5 in the parental or Fl lines for blast resistance. Grain quality QTL specific markers such as Waxy, Sbe 2 and RM225 were employed to screen the F1 and parental lines for apparent amylose content (ACC). Apparent amylose content (ACC) was 22% in Tulaipanji and 25% in Ranjit and F2 seed showed in between 22 and 25% amylose. Breeding lines showing desired traits in relation to disease resistance and quality traits can be used for the development of improved Tulaipanji rice of North Dinajpur through marker assisted selection (MAS) using SSR markers

Published: August 2022

Biochemical and genetic profiling of five rice lines which included one high yielding drought and salt sensitive cultivar (IR36), one drought avoiding indigenous line (Gorah), one salt tolerant popular cultivar (Nona Bokra), one wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) and one wild halophytic rice relative (Porteresia coarctata) were done in relation to osmotic stress tolerance. Biochemical analyses were done for three compounds (proline content, total chlorophyll and total protein) which are quantitatively vary under different osmotic stresses. The rice lines were genotyped for seven osmotic stress tolerance linked rice SSR loci and DNA sequence analysis was done for the amplified product of a salt inducible gene (salT) using two sets of allele mining primers. The varied biochemical profiles and growth habitat of the studied rice lines were partially confirmed both by the fingerprint analysis using rice SSRS (Simple Sequence Repeats) and DNA sequence analysis of the amplified product for the selected salt inducible gene.

Authors: Tapadar S A , Jha D K
Published: August 2022

Heavy metal pollution of coal mine spoils is a significant environmental problem affecting both flora and fauna. These degraded soils can be remediated by using heavy metal resistant microorganisms. Zinc has been usually reported in high concentration from coal mine spoils. The present study, therefore, deals with screening of Zinc, resistant bacteria isolated from coal mine spoils. The bacterial isolates were isolated from coal mine spoils of Tinsukia district of Assam. For the isolation of bacteria, King's B Medium and Pikovskaya's Agar Media were used. Heavy metal resistance of the bacterial isolates against zinc was tested on nutrient agar and sucrose-minimal salt low phosphate (SLP) medium. The results showed that out of the 20 test isolates 11 isolates were resistant. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ranged from 0.001 M to 0.02 M. Antibiotic resistance was studied for two most resistant isolates. The optimal growth conditions with reference to pH and temperature of the two most resistant bacterial isolates were evaluated. Growth pattern of the most resistant isolates was determined in different concentrations of zinc amended broth media. On the basis of cultural and biochemical characters, the resistant isolates were identified as Pseudomonas sp, Bacillus sp and Rhizobium sp. Some of these isolates also exhibited plant growth promoting (PGP) traits and phosphate solubilizing ability.

Authors: Kumar S , Sharma Y P
Published: August 2022

The state of Jammu and Kashmir has the largest concentration of forest dwellers, comprising of about one-fourth of the population of the state. Several tribes and villagers subsist largely on non-traditional and wild food sources especially wild edible mushrooms. Limited information, however, is known about ethno mycology of macrofungi in India, in general, and Jammu and Kashmir, in particular. Therefore, ethnomycological survey was carried out in various locations of Jammu and Kashmir state in order to develop a database on mushroom diversity and their traditional uses. In this study, forty four wild mushrooms which are actually consumed in the state and are distributed in twenty genera have been recorded to have various potentialities. These include Agaricus spp., Boletus spp., Clavaria sp., Clavulina spp., Coprinus spp., Geopora spp., Gyromitra spp., Helvella spp., Macrolepiota sp., Morchella spp., Otidea leporina, Peziza spp., Pleurotus spp., Ramaria spp., Rhizopogon spp., Russula sp., Sepultaria spp., Sparassis spp., Termitomyces spp. and Verpa sp.. Their descriptive vocabulary and folk taxonomy, edibility status, traditional drying and preservation, culinary potential, common beliefs and traditions etc. have been highlighted in this paper. Overall, richness of ethno-mycological information gathered indicates that the Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir represents a mycophilic region where edible mushrooms play an important role in the socio-economic activities of the local populace.
Gobernadores vs. legisladores en las provincias argentinas
Authors: Barrientos Miguel
Published: August 2022

En este libro se busca analizar las relaciones entre el Poder Ejecutivo y el Poder Legislativo en distintas provincias argentinas desde la vuelta a la democracia, teniendo en cuenta los factores e incentivos que entran en juego en la interacción en esta esfera subnacional. ¿Es posible que incentivos institucionales diferentes se traduzcan en comportamientos legislativos distintos para gobernadores y legisladores? ¿Existe efectivo predominio del gobernador frente a la arena parlamentaria en el control de la agenda legislativa? ¿Controlar el proceso decisorio no es una tarea natural del gobernador, quien busca resolver ciertos problemas de acción colectiva inherentes a los cuerpos colegiados? Para intentar desvendar esta terra incognita de la política provincial argentina, el libro muestra nuevos enfoques, estudiando los proyectos de ley ingresados en las Cámaras Bajas provinciales y los índices de aprobación que obtienen los parlamentarios y los gobernadores.

Published: August 2022

Information security is indispensable in the transmission of multimedia data. While accumulating and distributing such multimedia data, the access of data from a third person is the real security challenging issue. Information hiding plays an important role. Scramble the data before hiding it in carrier media gives enhanced security level for the data. In this paper, bit plane slicing is used to represent an input image with eight planes at bit-level instead of pixel-level. As the least significant bit contains noisy information, only the most significant bit plane can be used to represent an image. At the first level, an input image is processed through the spatial domain. Transform domain techniques are used to process the image at the middle level. Elliptic curve cryptography is used to scramble and descramble the MSB plane image. A logistic chaotic sequence of the input image is added to the most significant bit plane image to generate the final scrambled image. The discrete wavelet transform is used to embed the scrambled image in its high-frequency sub-bands. At the last level, a least significant bit technique, a spatial domain is used to embed the scrambled image in the carrier image. Message integrity is also verified by finding the hash of an input image. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated through various security measures. It gives good results as number of pixel change rate is closer to 100% and unified average changing intensity is 33.46.

This research introduces machine learning models using the Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) depicting the association between paddy yield and weather in Sri Lanka. All major regions in the island with most contribution to the total paddy production were considered in this research. The climatic factors of rainfall, relative humidity, minimum temperature, maximum temperature, average wind speed, evaporation, and sunshine hours were considered as input (independent) variables, while the paddy yield was the output (dependent) variable. The collinearity within each pair of independent and dependent variables was determined using Spearman’s and Pearson’s correlation coefficients. Data sets corresponding to the two main annual paddy cultivation seasons since 2009 were trained in MATLAB to develop crop-weather models. The most appropriate Kernel function was chosen from among four types of Kernels viz. Rational Quadratic, Exponential, Squared Exponential, and Matern 5/2 based on their degree of coherence in modeling. This approach exploits the full potential of GPR in developing highly accurate crop-weather models. The performance of the crop-weather models was measured by the Correlation Coefficient, Mean Absolute Percentage Error, Mean Squared Error, Root Mean Squared Error Ratio, Nash Number and the BIAS. All the GPR-based models proposed in this paper are highly accurate in terms of the aforementioned evaluation metrics. Accordingly, when the climatic data are known or projected, the paddy yield and thereby the harvest of Sri Lanka can be predicted precisely by using the proposed crop-weather models.

Published: August 2022

Cloud momentum seems unstoppable in Nigeria, as businesses and organizations in the country see less and less advantage in the slog of maintaining their infrastructure. The shift to the cloud in today's COVID-19 driven world has created an opportunity for investments to improve local cloud computing services. However, there are key challenges that must be addressed by the local cloud service providers in the country in order not to lose out to the foreign cloud service providers. This paper assessed the challenges to local cloud computing services adoption among sixty-seven (67) businesses and organizations in Nigeria. The research employed a non-probability purposive sampling approach. The surveyed data were obtained through an online form which was distributed via Linkedln. Descriptive and inferential analysis was used in analyzing the collected data via IBM SPSS software. Findings from the research showed the key challenges to include inadequate awareness of local cloud service vendors, poor innovation and local content, inadequate cloud infrastructure, local cloud vendor interoperability issue, national insecurity, shortages in skilled personnel, Service Level Agreement (SLA), security strategies, privacy, compliance terms, and requirements issues. Thus, adequate local cloud service offerings, skilled personnel, and the IT infrastructural backbone of the country have to be well established to increase the trust in local cloud computing, open up Nigeria to offshore markets while driving economic competitiveness and growth.

Published: August 2022

The usefulness of Collaborative filtering recommender system is affected by its ability to capture users' preference changes on the recommended items during recommendation process. This makes it easy for the system to satisfy users' interest over time providing good and quality recommendations. The Existing system studied fails to solicit for user inputs on the recommended items and it is also unable to incorporate users' preference changes with time which lead to poor quality recommendations. In this work, an Enhanced Movie Recommender system that recommends movies to users is presented to improve the quality of recommendations. The system solicits for users' inputs to create a user profiles. It then incorporates a set of new features (such as age and genre) to be able to predict user's preference changes with time. This enabled it to recommend movies to the users based on users new preferences. The experimental study conducted on Netflix and Movielens datasets demonstrated that, compared to the existing work, the proposed work improved the recommendation results to the users based on the values of Precision and RMSE obtained in this study which in turn returns good recommendations to the users.
O Eugenismo e o Padre José Maurício Nunes Garcia: revisionismo histórico do Beethoven negro
Authors: Vaccari Pedro Razzante
Published: August 2022

Recentemente têm sido aplicadas ao processo histórico revisões em que personalidades notoriamente conhecidas como brancas ou sob a alcunha de “mulatas”, como Machado de Assis, Mário de Andrade e Antônio Carlos Gomes, têm sido efetivamente reconhecidas como de origem afro-brasileira. Termos pejorativos como “mulato” e “pardo” estiveram associados a conotações oriundas da escravidão, quando o Estado brasileiro necessitava eleger símbolos nacionais embranquecidos para exaltar e se tornar um polo industrializado nos trópicos sem o estigma que relacionava negritude com a pecha discriminatória de correntes como o darwinismo social. Um desses símbolos nacionais, além dos supracitados, foi o padre José Maurício Nunes Garcia – cuja germanização passou à história como o “Mozart fluminense”. Ao desmistificar o seu embranquecimento, o objeto deste estudo foi trazer à tona elementos que comprovem que ele fora realmente negro, utilizando para isso a metodologia antropológica, da mesma forma em que discussões recentes mostram que o compositor alemão Beethoven teria ascendência africana.
Understanding implicit sensorimotor adaptation as a process of proprioceptive re-alignment
Authors: Tsay Jonathan S , Kim Hyosub , Haith Adrian M , Ivry Richard B
Published: August 2022

Multiple learning processes contribute to successful goal-directed actions in the face of changing physiological states, biomechanical constraints, and environmental contexts. Amongst these processes, implicit sensorimotor adaptation is of primary importance, ensuring that movements remain well-calibrated and accurate. A large body of work on reaching movements has emphasized how adaptation centers on an iterative process designed to minimize visual errors. The role of proprioception has been largely neglected, thought to play a passive role in which proprioception is affected by the visual error but does not directly contribute to adaptation. Here, we present an alternative to this visuo-centric framework, outlining a model in which implicit adaptation acts to minimize a proprioceptive error, the distance between the perceived hand position and its intended goal. This proprioceptive re-alignment model (PReMo) is consistent with many phenomena that have previously been interpreted in terms of learning from visual errors, and offers a parsimonious account of numerous unexplained phenomena. Cognizant that the evidence for PReMo rests on correlational studies, we highlight core predictions to be tested in future experiments, as well as note potential challenges for a proprioceptive-based perspective on implicit adaptation.
The role of autophagy in high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance of adipose tissues in mice

Published: August 2022

Aims

Studies have observed changes in autophagic flux in the adipose tissue of type 2 diabetes patients with obesity. However, the role of autophagy in obesity-induced insulin resistance is unclear. We propose to confirm the effect of a high-fat diet (HFD) on autophagy and insulin signaling transduction from adipose tissue to clarify whether altered autophagy-mediated HFD induces insulin resistance, and to elucidate the possible mechanisms in autophagy-regulated adipose insulin sensitivity.

Methods

Eight-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were fed with HFD to confirm the effect of HFD on autophagy and insulin signaling transduction from adipose tissue. Differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes were treated with 1.2 mM fatty acids (FAs) and 50 nM Bafilomycin A1 to determine the autophagic flux. 2.5 mg/kg body weight dose of Chloroquine (CQ) in PBS was locally injected into mouse epididymal adipose (10 and 24 h) and 40 µM of CQ to 3T3-L1 adipocytes for 24 h to evaluate the role of autophagy in insulin signaling transduction.

Results

The HFD treatment resulted in a significant increase in SQSTM1/p62, Rubicon expression, and C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) expression, yet the insulin capability to induce Akt (Ser473) and GSK3β (Ser9) phosphorylation were reduced. PHLPP1 and PTEN remain unchanged after CQ injection. In differentiated 3T3-L1 adipocytes treated with CQ, although the amount of phospho-Akt stimulated by insulin in the CQ-treated group was significantly lower, CHOP expressions and cleaved caspase-3 were increased and bafilomycin A1 induced less accumulation of LC3-II protein.

Conclusion

Long-term high-fat diet promotes insulin resistance, late-stage autophagy inhibition, ER stress, and apoptosis in adipose tissue. Autophagy suppression may not affect insulin signaling transduction via phosphatase expression but indirectly causes insulin resistance through ER stress or apoptosis.
O GOVERNO MORAL DOS POBRES E A DESPOLITIZAÇÃO DAS POLÍTICAS PÚBLICAS NA AMÉRICA LATINA
Authors: Lautier Bruno
Published: August 2022

O texto tem como ponto de partida a ideia de que a América Latina viveria nas últimas duas décadas uma tensão entre dois discursos, visões de mundo e formas de fazer sociedade: por um lado a constatação de disfunções a serem corrigidas e, por outro lado, as reivindicações e exigências em nome da cidadania, dos direitos, de sua universalização. A hipótese é a de que essa tensão - amenizada mas não extinta - e seu desenrolar, guardam fortes relações com a concepção, instituição, gestão, operacionalização de políticas sociais em um percurso que vai do enfoque desenvolvimentista aos processos de focalização, dos direitos ao governo moral da pobreza e seus desdobramentos.Palavras-chave : Políticas sociais; Direitos; Cidadania; América Latina; Moral.The moral government of the poor and the depoliticization of public politics in Latin America. Bruno LautierAs a starting point, the text bring the idea that Latin America has been living, over the last two decades, a tension between two discourses, two world views and ways of building a society: on the one hand, the verification of dysfunctions which should be corrected, and on the other hand the claims and demands in the name of citizenship, of rights, and of their universalization. The hypothesis is that this tension - lessened, but not extinct - and its unfolding have strong relations with the conception, institution, management, and operationalization of social policies, in a trajectory that goes from the developmental point of view to the processes of focalization, and the rights to the moral government of poverty and its unfolding.Keywords: Social policies; Rights; Citizenship; Latin America; Moral.Le gouvernement moral des pauvres et la dépolitisation des politiques publiques em Amérique Latine.Bruno LautierLe point de départ de ce texte est basé sur l'idée que l'Amérique Latine allait vivre au cours des deux dernières décennies une tension entre deux discours, perceptions du monde et manière d'élaborer la société: d'une part la constatation de disfonctions qui doivent être corrigées et d'autre part les revendications et les exigences faites au nom de la citoyenneté, de droits, de leur universalisation.

Published: August 2022

Pakistan’s power sector has undergone extensive reforms to improve its technical and monetary performance over the last two decades. However, despite its fast-growing and hazardous nature, safety research remains limited in this context. This study aims to address this gap by assessing the level of safety climate in the power sector and comparing the safety climate in plants operated by multinational companies (MNCs) and local companies (LCs).To this end, five power plants operating in the southern part of the Punjab region (in Pakistan) were included in this study. The Nordic Occupational Safety Climate Questionnaire (NOSACQ-50), an analytical tool comprising of 50 items across seven dimensions, was used to determine the level of safety climate. An independent T-Test was then applied to compare the means in two different setups to draw a conclusion about overall safety climate differences. In MNCs, overall management/leadership perception improved; however, workers in both setups responded similarly in many cases. The lowest observed score in both setups was related to worker’s prioritization of safety and risk non-acceptance. The study highlights the importance of a company’s policies, procedures, and leadership commitments in creating a stronger safety climate by instilling trust in workers. The study further demonstrates that cross-cultural and strong policies devised by multinational companies help to improve the overall safety climate andconcludes that promoting an efficient and positive safety climate in the power sector is a long journey and that can only be achieved if all workers and leaders take on an active role.
The modernising church law-making of St. emperor Justinian, with the regulation of provincial councils as an example
Authors: Pashkov Dmitry
Published: August 2022

The Church Councils of the ante-Nicene period had neither a clear periodicity nor a strictly defined competence. Their competence was very broad, almost limitless: questions of faith, discipline, the calendar, the practice of the Sacraments. These local councils of the ante-Nicene era were replaced, from the fourth century, by provincial councils.In 325 a number of rules for provincial councils were approved in Nicaea: they had to be convened twice a year, consist of bishops of one particular province, take place in a provincial civil centre (metropolis) and their competence was limited to second-instance judicial proceedings. Further church legislation did not extend this competence, although in fact the councils dealt not only with judicial, but also with doctrinal problems. The biannual councils as prescribed by Nicaea canons becomes burdensome because of the large size of some provinces and some other reasons. The novels of Justinian I for the first time clearly defined the competence of a "provincial" council. The emperor included not only judicial, but also canonical and doctrinal topics in the competence of the provincial councils, while establishing a regularity of holding them "once a year". The modernizing legislative activity of St. Emperor Justinian proved useful and was recognized by the church hierarchy.

O uso de plantas medicinais na recuperação da saúde tem evoluído ao longo do tempo, utilizadas pelo homem primitivo, até as mais sofisticadas formas tecnológicas adotadas pelo homem moderno. Representam uma importante ferramenta na promoção da saúde em muitas regiões do Brasil, e veem sendo investigadas também no estado de Santa Catarina.  O presente trabalho teve como finalidade realizar um levantamento das plantas e o seu  uso medicinal, junto aos moradores do município de Bandeirante-SC. Durante o período de janeiro a julho de 2019, uma amostra de 40 pessoas foram entrevistadas,  escolhidas pela técnica conhecida como bola de neve (snowball sampling), utilizando um roteiro de  entrevista  estruturado, com questões abertas e fechadas, que abordou dados referentes às características pessoais como idade, escolaridade, tempo de residência no município e a utilização das plantas como remédio pelos moradores.  Os entrevistados mencionaram 40 espécies distribuídas em 18 famílias e Lamiaceae (11), Asteraceae (09) foram as que apresentaram maior número de espécies.  As plantas mais mencionadas como Gervão (Stachytarpheta cayennensis), Cavalinha (Equisetum hiemale), Mentinha (Hyptis atrorubens), Quebra Pedra (Phyllanthus niruri), Cancorosa (Maytenus ilicifolia), Macela (Egletes viscosa), Anador (Justiciapectoralis  sp), Carqueja (Baccharis trimera)  e  Guaco (Mikania glomerata) são nativas do Brasil.  Destas plantas Baccharis trimera, Maytenus ilicifolia e Mikania glomerata compõem a Relação Nacional de Medicamentos Essenciais (RENAME), sendo as folhas indicadas para uso. Quanto à transmissão dos conhecimentos e uso das plantas verificamos que ocorre através de  rodas de conversas  juntamente com o uso de outra planta medicinal, o Ilex paraguariensis que é utilizada no chimarrão. A multiplicidade de usos de algumas das espécies mencionadas demonstra o etnoconhecimento da população, o que resulta no registro desse conhecimento , adquirido no contato direto com o ambiente em que vivem, relevante contribuição   para  a preservação da biodiviersidade.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure affects not only the maternal wellbeing but also unborn baby. This study aims to develop a spouse-based educational intervention to reduce SHS exposure by examining the understanding and perception of both pregnant women and their smoking spouses.
Methods: Using a sequential exploratory mixed-method research design, this study will be conducted through four phases. In the first phase, a qualitative study will be conducted to examine the understanding and perception of pregnant women and their smoking spouses regarding secondhand smoke exposure. In the second phase, the content of the educational intervention will be designed based on the outcomes of the first phase and from the literature review. Validation of the designed intervention will be conducted by experts to assess the accuracy of the contents in phase 3. After the validation, a pilot study will be conducted to measure the comprehensiveness of the module. The feasibility and effectiveness of the intervention will be measured in phase four by a pre-test and post-test study design.
Expected outcome and conclusion: The designed educational intervention module of SHS exposure can be used as a breakthrough point to empower non-smoking pregnant women to protect themselves from secondhand smoke exposure, and also to facilitate the smoking spouse to change their smoking behavior, and thus promote the smoke-free home.

Authors: Tkachuk Stanislav , Melnyk Oleksii
Published: August 2022

Educational and methodical materials in modern institutions of secondary vocational education are associated with the use of complex information and technical systems, computing and measuring instruments, and their implementation, using systems for transmission, storage, processing, formalization, and coding of information. At the heart of these processes are intensively implemented information systems that operate on the basis of information and communication technologies. Many studies have shown that the use of the above tools and systems requires the formation of a certain information culture of teachers of secondary vocational education, which they acquire in the process of vocational education. The current state of development and use of information and methodological support, which operates on the basis of information and communication technologies in secondary vocational education institutions, is analyzed. Pedagogical and ergonomic requirements and pedagogical conditions for the electronic educational resource for academic disciplines are substantiated. The conducted pedagogical experiment on the assessment of the level of competence of the teacher of secondary vocational education in the field of creation and use of the electronic educational resource as a part of information and methodical maintenance of educational process is described. In the process of designing information and methodological support of the educational process, significant sources of information were identified: pedagogical and ergonomic quality of the developed electronic educational resources; formation of professionally important qualities in the conditions of use of means of information and communication technologies; formation of the teacher’s readiness to develop and use an electronic educational resource based on the implementation of didactic capabilities of information and communication technologies.

Keywords: information and methodological support; institutions of professional (vocational) education; professional education; educational process; electronic educational resource.
