Strong and Weak Theories of Capacity: Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Disability, and Contemporary Capacity Theorizing
Authors: Vaahtera Touko
Published: May 2024

This article puts forward two ways of understanding capacity: strong and weak theories. The strong theory of capacity self-evidently connects capacity with ideal humanity or pedestalizes it as an analytic concept, while the weak theory of capacity allows space for interpretations about life unfolding without murmurings about capacity. By considering capacity in a way that distinguishes these two theories, the article contributes to contemporary thinking in which capacity has emerged as a key concept. My perspective draws on Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s ideas about strong and weak theories and is further influenced by methodological issues raised by disability studies scholars. I first recall Sedgwick’s ideas about strong theories, after which I focus on how capacity assumptions operate in Silvan Tomkins’ work, which has had an important impact on Sedgwick. I then identify two recent contributions in disability studies in the area of capacity-themed theorizing. I interrogate the ways in which these contributions share the habits of the strong theory and how they escape its problematic tendencies. Toward the end of the article, I outline how the weak theory of capacity could contribute new perspectives to the contemporary discussion.
Exploring ketoacidosis frequency and risk factors in childhood-onset type 1 diabetes: an 8-year retrospective study (2011–2018) at a tertiary paediatric hospital in Tripoli, Libya
Authors: Shebani Mostafa Sasi , Khashebi Rowida Mohammed
Published: May 2024

Objectives

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) stands as a critical, acute complication of type 1 diabetes. Despite its severity, there exists a dearth of data concerning the frequency and prevalence of DKA at the onset of type 1 diabetes in Libyan children. This study aimed to ascertain the frequency of DKA during the initial presentation of type 1 diabetes among children aged 0.5–14 years admitted to Tripoli Children’s Hospital between 2011 and 2018.

Methods

Employing a retrospective approach, the study examined the proportion of children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes who presented with DKA. Data analysis included estimating DKA frequency concerning age at presentation, sex, and age groups. The comparative analysis involved assessing DKA frequency between 0.5 and <2 and 2–14 years age groups. Logistic regression analysis evaluated the impact of age group, sex, and family history of type 1 diabetes on DKA and severe DKA occurrence.

Results

Among 497 children with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes, 39.2 % presented with DKA, of these 44.5 % had severe DKA. Females exhibited a higher DKA rate than males (OR 1.63, 95 % CI 1.13–2.34, p=0.009). Very young children (0.5 to <2 years) presented with DKA more frequently than those aged 2–14 years (OR 4.73, 95 % CI 2.65–8.47, p<0.001), and they were more likely to present in severe DKA (63.9 vs. 39.1 %, [OR 7.26, 95 % CI 3.65–14.41, p<0.001]).

Conclusions

The frequency of DKA at type 1 diabetes onset among children admitted to Tripoli Children’s Hospital is notably high, with nearly half of the DKA episodes categorized as severe. Very young children notably demonstrated a fivefold increase in the likelihood of presenting with DKA.
An Alternative to the Basic Causal Requirement for Liability Under the Negligence Rule
Authors: Shavell Steven
Published: May 2024

The primary causal requirement that must be met for a negligent party to be held liable for a harm is a demonstration that the harm would not have occurred if the party had not been negligent. Thus, for a speeding driver to bear liability for harm done in a car accident, it must be shown that the accident would not have happened if the driver had driven at a reasonable speed. The main point made here is that this basic causal requirement may be difficult or impossible to satisfy and hence may interfere with the discouragement of negligence. Therefore, an alternative and usually easier-to-meet causal requirement is proposed – that the harm would not have occurred if the negligent party had not been engaged in his activity (if the driver had not been engaged in driving).
Dialect separation and cross-dialectal influence: a study on the grammatical gender of Oromo
Authors: Feleke Tekabe Legesse
Published: May 2024

The extent to which the grammar of one dialect influences the grammar of another and the mechanisms that bidialectal speakers employ to distinguish a target grammar from non-target grammar have not been adequately investigated. In this study, we elucidate these issues by investigating the grammatical gender of Oromo, a Cushitic language that is spoken in Ethiopia. The results from two successive offline experiments indicate that Oromo bidialectal speakers can differentiate between the grammar of their native dialect and that of a non-native dialect in both spoken and written modes. This finding implies the existence of a dual-system representation of grammar. Moreover, there is a significant amount of dialect mixing that varies across various developmental stages and modalities. The bidialectal speakers’ ability to differentiate between the grammar of their native dialect and that of a non-native dialect is constrained by the magnitude of their exposure to the non-native dialect, modalities, and a specific property of grammatical forms. Here, we propose an interactive dialect separation model that accounts for diverse dialect contexts.
Bond performance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete with rebar under freeze–thaw environment: A review

Published: May 2024

In this article, a review focusing on the frost resistance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RAC) and the bond performance of RAC with rebar under freeze–thaw environment is carried out. The results show that there are still some controversies about the advantages and disadvantages of the frost resistance of RAC, and many influencing factors have not been considered. The mass of the RAC pullout specimens shows a trend of first increasing and then decreasing after freeze‒thaw cycles. The failure modes of the RAC pullout specimens after freeze‒thaw cycles include pullout failure, pullout-splitting failure, splitting failure, and rebar yielding failure. The bond performance of RAC with rebar shows a degradation trend after freeze‒thaw cycles, mainly in the decrease in bond strength and the increase in bond slip. The bond performance of RAC specimens is inferior to that of natural aggregate concrete specimens after freeze‒thaw cycles. The bond strength prediction models and the bond–slip constitutive relation prediction models of RAC with rebar after freeze‒thaw cycles have been summarized to ensure that engineers can better understand their applicability. The bond stress distribution between the RAC and rebar in the anchoring area is not uniform and constantly changes with the number of freeze‒thaw cycles. The degradation mechanism of the bond performance of RAC with rebar after freeze‒thaw cycles is analyzed.

Interneurons in the medial prefrontal cortex (PFC) regulate local neural activity to influence cognitive, motivated, and emotional behaviors. Parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) interneurons are the primary mediators of thalamus-evoked feed-forward inhibition across the mouse cortex, including the anterior cingulate cortex, where they are engaged by inputs from the mediodorsal (MD) thalamus. In contrast, in the adjacent prelimbic (PL) cortex, we find that PV+ interneurons are scarce in the principal thalamorecipient layer 3 (L3), suggesting distinct mechanisms of inhibition. To identify the interneurons that mediate MD-evoked inhibition in PL, we combine slice physiology, optogenetics, and intersectional genetic tools in mice of both sexes. We find interneurons expressing cholecystokinin (CCK+) are abundant in L3 of PL, with cells exhibiting fast-spiking (fs) or nonfast-spiking (nfs) properties. MD inputs make stronger connections onto fs-CCK+ interneurons, driving them to fire more readily than nearby L3 pyramidal cells and other interneurons. CCK+ interneurons in turn make inhibitory, perisomatic connections onto L3 pyramidal cells, where they exhibit cannabinoid 1 receptor (CB1R) mediated modulation. Moreover, MD-evoked feed-forward inhibition, but not direct excitation, is also sensitive to CB1R modulation. Our findings indicate that CCK+ interneurons contribute to MD-evoked inhibition in PL, revealing a mechanism by which cannabinoids can modulate MD-PFC communication.

In Mexico a biological dressing was developed based on the culture of human keratinocytes in vitro. As a result, these procedures allow the expansion of keratinocytes in approximately 10,000 times their initial number, used in the treatment to cover the areas affected by burns, being a more important factor in obtaining this adequate result in the healing with its respective advantages both in social and economic terms.

OBJECTIVE

Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) is the second leading cause of death in children worldwide. Objectively evaluating disease severity is critical for assessing future interventions. We used data from a large, prospective surveillance study to assess risk factors associated with severe presentation using modified Vesikari score (MVS) and Clark score (CS) of severity.

METHODS

From December 1, 2012 to June 30, 2016, AGE surveillance was performed for children between 15 days and 17 years old in the emergency, inpatient, and outpatient settings at Vanderbilt’s Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital in Nashville, TN. Stool specimens were tested for norovirus, sapovirus, rotavirus, and astrovirus. We compared demographic and clinical characteristics, along with the MVS and CS, by viral detection status and by setting.

RESULTS

Of the 6309 eligible children, 4216 (67%) were enrolled, with 3256 (77%) providing a stool specimen. The median age was 1.9 years, 52% were male, and 1387 (43%) of the stool samples were virus positive. Younger age, male sex, hospitalization, and rotavirus detection were significantly associated with higher mean MVS and CS. Non-Hispanic Black race and ethnicity was associated with a lower mean MVS and CS as compared with non-Hispanic white race and ethnicity. Prematurity and enrollment in the ED were associated with higher mean CS. The 2 scoring systems were highly correlated.

CONCLUSIONS

Rotavirus continues to be associated with more severe pediatric illness compared with other viral causes of AGE. MVS and CS systems yielded comparable results and can be useful tools to assess AGE severity.
Primary Ciliary Dyskinesia

Published: May 2024

Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) is a rare, genetic disease characterized by dysfunctional motile cilia and abnormal mucociliary clearance, resulting in chronic sino-oto-pulmonary disease, neonatal respiratory distress, subfertility, and organ laterality defects. Over the past 2 decades, research and international collaborations have led to an improved understanding of disease prevalence, classic and variable phenotypes, novel diagnostics, genotype-phenotype correlations, long term morbidity, and innovative therapeutics. However, PCD is often underrecognized in clinical settings and the recent analyses of genetic databases suggest that only a fraction of these patients are being accurately diagnosed. Knowledge of significant advancements, from pathophysiology to the expanded range of clinical manifestations, will have important clinical impacts. These may include increasing disease recognition, improving diagnostic testing and management, and establishing an adequate pool of affected patients to enroll in upcoming clinical therapeutic trials. The objective of this state-of-the-art review is for readers to gain a greater understanding of the clinical spectrum of motile ciliopathies, cutting-edge diagnostic practices, emerging genotype-phenotype associations, and currently accepted management of people with PCD.

Published: May 2024

Entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR) measure is a convenient coherent risk measure. Due to certain difficulties in finding its analytical representation, it was previously calculated explicitly only for the normal distribution. We succeeded to overcome these difficulties and to calculate Entropic Value-at-Risk (EVaR) measure for Poisson, compound Poisson, Gamma, Laplace, exponential, chi-squared, inverse Gaussian distribution and normal inverse Gaussian distribution with the help of Lambert function that is a special function, generally speaking, with two branches.
Microstructural and profilometric analysis of thermally sprayed cylinder wall coatings
Authors: Kókai Ákos Levente , Berkes Maros Maria
Published: May 2024

Cylinder bore coatings are widely used in automotive internal combustion engines to replace cylinder liners. During the atmospheric plasma spraying process, the coatings are oxidized and controlled by the Si content of the steel powder used as the coating raw material. This phenomenon affects the technological process, the microstructure, and the properties of the formed coatings. The research aims to investigate how the Si content of two commercial grades of steel powder commonly used in industry affects the undesirable consequences observed in practice, such as clogging of powder nozzles or large variations in coating hardness. The analyses and industrial experiments show that increasing the Si content can contribute significantly to these undesirable phenomena.

Published: May 2024

Landslides are natural disasters most frequent in the mountain region of Vietnam, producing critical damage to human lives and assets. Therefore, precisely identifying the landslide occurrence probability within the region is essential in supporting decision-makers or developers in establishing effective strategies for reducing the damage. This study is aimed at developing a methodology based on machine learning, namely Xgboost (XGB), lightGBM, K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and Bagging (BA)  for assessing the connection of land cover change to landslide susceptibility in Da Lat City, Vietnam. 202 landslide locations and 13 potential drivers became input data for the model. Various statistical indices, namely the root mean square error (RMSE), the area under the curve (AUC), and mean absolute error (MAE), were used to evaluate the proposed models. Our findings indicate that the Xgboost model was better than other models, as shown by the AUC value of 0.94, followed by LightGBM (AUC=0.91), KNN (AUC=0.87), and Bagging (AUC=0.81). In addition, urban areas increased during 2017-2023 from 25 km² to 30 km² in very high landslide susceptibility areas. Our approach can be applied to test the other regions in Vietnam. Our findings might represent a necessary tool for land use planning strategies to reduce damage from natural disasters and landslides.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess how ‘IAC 572’, ‘IAC 766’, and ‘Paulsen 1103’ rootstocks affected the duration of phenological phases, thermal demand, and chemical evolution throughout production cycle of the ‘BRS Vitória’ table grape cultivated in subtropical conditions. The duration of the following phenological stages was measured in days after pruning throughout two production seasons: budburst, flowering, setting, veraison, and harvest date. The thermal demand was determined using the degree-day concept. Titratable acidity, pH, soluble solids, and the maturation index were all measured throughout berry maturation. In general, the rootstocks ‘IAC 572’ and ‘IAC 766’ increased vine precocity in comparison to ‘Paulsen 1103’ during the early phenological phases. However, the vines grafted on ‘Paulsen 1103’ were earlier in the later phases, that is, at the veraison and at the harvest date, when compared to those grafted on the rootstocks ‘IAC 572’ and ‘IAC 766’. Under subtropical conditions, the total cycle period of the ‘BRS Vitória’ vine varied from 131 to 143 days, with thermal demands ranging from 1,545 to 1,725 DD. In comparison to the ‘IAC 572’ and the ‘IAC 766’, the ‘Paulsen 1103’ supplied the berries with a higher accumulation of soluble solids and a higher maturation index.

Authors: SILVA JULYANNE TEREZA CORDEIRO , FONSECA NETO OLIVAL CIRILO LUCENA DA
Published: May 2024

RESUMO A doença do novo coronavírus 2019 (COVID-19) disseminou-se rapidamente pelo mundo após os primeiros casos serem relatados em dezembro de 2019 na China. Apesar da prevalência dos sintomas respiratórios, manifestações extrapulmonares foram sendo identificadas. Particularmente, houve um aumento de casos de Isquemia Mesentérica Aguda (IMA), elevando sua incidência para 1,9%-3,8% em pacientes infectados. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a existência de uma associação entre IMA e a COVID-19 através da literatura. Realizou-se uma Revisão Integrativa da Literatura. A pergunta de pesquisa foi “isquemia mesentérica em pacientes com COVID-19: coincidência ou associação?”. Após a busca na base de dados e aplicação dos critérios de inclusão e exclusão, elegeu-se 44 estudos para análise. A COVID-19 foi confirmada por RT-PCR e exames de imagem, foram identificadas manifestações gastrointestinais, alterações laboratoriais e achados de imagem primordialmente tomográfica. A maioria dos pacientes foi submetida à laparotomia. As explicações incluem lesão endotelial direta pela ligação do vírus ao receptor ECA-2, correlação entre hiperinflamação e hipercoagulabilidade, desregulação do sistema renina-angiotensina-aldosterona e fatores associados à gravidade do quadro. A IMA é uma emergência de alta morbimortalidade associada, nesses casos pode ser consequência principalmente do mecanismo tromboinflamatório associado ao SARS-CoV-2. Um alto nível de suspeita clínica, diagnóstico e tratamento precoces são cruciais diante dessa complicação; um regime de anticoagulação deve ser considerado conforme as evidências e diretrizes vigentes..

Authors: FERNANDES GABRIELA SOUZA , MARTINS MURILO CÂNDIDO , GOMES HEITOR LUIZ
Published: May 2024

RESUMO Introdução: o trauma é a principal causa de morte na faixa etária de 1 a 49 anos no Brasil. O Tratamento não operatório (TNO) é padrão ouro nos centros de trauma e não altera a mortalidade quando comparado ao tratamento operatório. Métodos: foram avaliados 114 prontuários médicos de pacientes vítimas de trauma hepático contuso atendidos no Hospital das Clínicas da Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (HC-UFU) no período de novembro de 2015 a novembro de 2020. Resultados: os homens foram o sexo mais acometido (74,5%) e a faixa etária mais prevalente foi de 20 a 49 anos (65,7%). 60,5% dos pacientes admitidos apresentavam um Injury Severity Score (ISS) maior ou igual a 16. Na admissão, 30,7% apresentaram FC acima de 100bpm e 30,70% PAS abaixo de 100mmHg. O TNO foi instituído em 77,2% dos pacientes, o índice de falha foi de 11,36% e o índice de falha específica, excluindo as cirurgias decorrentes por complicação de lesões associadas, foi de 1,75%. 33,33% dos óbitos foram decorrentes de traumatismo cranioencefálico grave. Conclusão: o índice de TNO instituído no HC-UFU é próximo ao estabelecido na literatura para traumas hepáticos. O índice de falha, quando excluídas às complicações por lesões associadas, é considerado baixo. O reconhecimento do perfil epidemiológico dos pacientes admitidos no HC-UFU permite o treinamento especializado integrativo e multiprofissional das equipes assistenciais e o desenvolvimento de protocolos institucionais, visando reduzir a morbimortalidade relacionada ao trauma hepático.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to evaluate the profile of emergency care of trauma patients at Hospital Universitário Evangélico Mackenzie (HUEM) during the period of restrictive measures due to COVID-19 (03/13/2021 to 04/05/2021), and compare to the same period at the beginning of the pandemic, in 2020, and before the pandemic, in 2019. Methods: quantitative and descriptive observational cross-sectional study. The final sample of 8,338 was analyzed in terms of date, gender, age and service responsible for providing care; the traumas were analyzed according to the etiology and conduct of the treatment and outcome. Results: there was a percentage increase in non-traumatic emergency care during the pandemic, and the medical clinic held a third of admissions in 2021. There was a reduction in trauma care, since in 2019 traumas were responsible for 44.9% of admissions and by 23.5% in 2021. There was a significant difference in the proportion between the attendance of men and women, and the percentage of men victims of trauma was higher than in the pre-pandemic periods. There was a reduction in absolute numbers, with statistical significance, in traffic accidents, falls from the same level, burns, general blunt trauma and sports and leisure trauma. The proportion of conservative treatments with hospital discharge reduced. There was a significant difference in the number of deaths, decreasing in 2020 but increasing in 2021. Conclusion: there was a reduction in trauma care during the pandemic, but the profile remained the adult male victim of a traffic accident. More severe traumas were admitted, resulting in an increase in surgical treatment, hospitalizations and deaths.

PORTUGUESE LANGUAGE TEACHING: GROUNDING THE PRACTICE OF LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS ON THE BAKHTINIAN STUDIES
Authors: FENILLI LAYS MAYNARA FAVERO , COSTA-HÜBES TEREZINHA DA CONCEIÇÃO
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT: This paper sought to ground the Practice of Linguistic Analysis (PLA) (GERALDI, 1984; 1997[1991]) in Bakhtin Circle's studies considering that this practice needs a more significant theoretical and methodological basis and that the dialogic studies can provide an interactive approach to the analysis of texts, focused on the stylistic-discursive strategies in Portuguese Language classes. Hence, our guide questions are: How to amplify the methodological approach for the dialogic PLA? How can the sociological method proposed by Volóchinov (2017 [1929]) constitute this PLA? Our reflections were based mainly on Bakhtin Circle's studies, including Volóchinov and Bakhtin (1926), Bakhtin (2010[1929]; 2013; 2016 [1979]), among other researchers of the Portuguese Language teaching field. It is a bibliographic and exploratory study anchored on Applied Linguistics and the qualitative interpretative paradigm. Our findings led us to conclude that the dialogic PLA must be developed considering the reflections about the extraverbal context of the enunciations so that the stylistic reflections may approach axiological and discursive aspects of the texts, which can broaden students' ability to read, write, and interpret texts from diverse discursive genres.

Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT: This article presents excerpts from a Professional Master’s Degree study developed between 2018-2020, which had as its object of study the teaching of History in Youth and Adult Education (EJA). Based on concerns about the social function of the discipline and its relations with practical human life, the text discusses the construction of the teaching process of history with young and adult students and the meaning of this discipline for their citizen formation based on experiences and views of professionals who work in this teaching modality. With Oral History as the methodological guideline, interviews were conducted with teachers, and the analyses of their narratives were recorded in a documentary, whose production process was detailed that contributes to EJA students recognizing themselves as protagonists in history and knowledge production.
SEX EDUCATION: AN ANALYSIS OF BRAZILIAN LEGISLATION AND OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS IN DIFFERENT POLITICAL CONTEXTS
Authors: CASSIAVILLANI THIENE PELOSI , ALBRECHT MIRIAN PACHECO SILVA
Published: May 2024

ABSTRACT: The provision of Sexuality Education in schools can significantly contribute to the reduction of violence motivated by issues related to gender and sexuality. This Sexuality Education needs to go beyond purely biological issues, addressing several other themes, such as body, pleasure, consent, and violence in addition to more obvious issues of gender, sexuality and diversity. However, in order to carry it out, teachers need to have the support of official documents and legislation. This research aims to verify how issues concerning Sexuality Education, gender and sexuality appear in laws, decrees and other publications that guide Brazilian Education as well as to relate them to the socio-political contexts in which they were published. To achieve our goal, we searched for these documents, covering the period from 1990 to 2018, and we focused our analysis on twenty-eight of them. The analysis showed that, in fact, the legislation not only allows, but determines that Sexuality Education be in schools. However, different political contexts have a great impact on the way in which Sexuality Education appears in the documents, sometimes explicitly, sometimes subjectively and diluted in the discourse of diversity and recently, completely silenced. In addition, recurrent cycles of advances and setbacks in different political contexts since re-democratization have culminated in gaps and discontinuities in Sexuality Education policies, impeding the development of a specific law on the subject and preventing its consolidation within Brazilian schools.
“Depressão, transtorno do pânico e fobia social são reais!”. Notas sobre essencialismo, pragmatismo e psicopatologia
Authors: Venturi Camilo
Published: May 2024

O artigo tematiza a noção de validade diagnóstica na nosologia psicopatológica, de um ponto de vista epistemológico. Argumenta-se que a crise dos modelos operacionais, representados pelos DSMs, se aprofundou nas últimas décadas em virtude da adoção de uma concepção literal de validade, entendida como correspondência entre classificações diagnósticas e propriedades intrínsecas. Tal concepção relega as categorias diagnósticas ao estatuto de tipos artificiais sem substrato ontológico. A partir de autores como Dupré, Rorty, Goodman, Zachar, Agich etc., sugere-se uma recolocação do problema em termos de um nominalismo pragmático. Além de nos deslocar da dicotomia natural/artificial, uma postura nominalista pragmática teria a vantagem adicional de admitir um pluralismo nosológico, que tende a ser incompatível com sistemas classificatórios literais, com pretensões essencialistas.

Resultados: o diagnóstico de COVID-19 apresentou diferença estatisticamente significativa entre os profissionais que trabalhavam há mais de seis anos na unidade (p=0,020) e os itens do constructo “Segurança do profissional e do paciente” referentes às dúvidas sobre como retirar o equipamento de proteção individual (p=0,013) e fluxo seguro (p=0,021). As dimensões 2 (p=0,003), 3 (p=0,009), 4 (p=0,013), 6 (p<0,001) e 9 (p=0,024) do Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture foram associadas à realização de treinamentos. Conclusão: maior tempo de experiência profissional do profissional de enfermagem esteve associado a não infecção por COVID-19. A percepção de cultura de segurança do paciente esteve relacionada à realização de treinamentos.
Figuras retóricas para registrar história(s): discursos sobre as mortes por Covid-19 no Brasil
Authors: Carmelino Ana Cristina , Ramos Paulo
Published: May 2024

RESUMO Este artigo busca refletir sobre o funcionamento de uma das técnicas retóricas usadas em discursos: as figuras. A abordagem será feita com base em mortes provocadas por Covid-19 no Brasil. Para isso, consideram-se como corpus de estudo duas capas de jornais brasileiros, o carioca O Globo e o paulistano Folha de S. Paulo, mais especificamente as edições que registram quando o país ultrapassou as 100 mil e as 200 mil mortes pelo coronavírus. O objetivo é mostrar o papel argumentativo que a metonímia e a repetição imprimem aos textos em questão. Essas figuras foram relevantes para a composição das duas capas. A de O Globo utiliza fotos de várias pessoas que morreram por causa da doença. A da Folha de S. Paulo reproduziu calçados usados por algumas das vítimas. A análise se fundamenta em pressupostos teóricos de estudiosos da Retórica e da Nova Retórica, especialmente no que diz respeito às figuras retóricas.
Plano de texto de “mensagens de natal” na cena política luso-brasileira
Authors: Pita Sara Topete de Oliveira
Published: May 2024

RESUMO Na cena política, as Mensagens de Natal assumiram um estatuto de tradição, mas será o seu plano textual fixo ou ocasional, como postula Adam (2002)? No sentido de identificar a estrutura organizativa destes textos, procedeu-se a uma análise diacrónica de textos de Portugal e do Brasil (produzidos de 2008 a 2020), com foco nos processos de distribuição e segmentação do texto (Silva, 2016). Assim, a análise focou-se na composição gráfica, na distribuição temática e, sobretudo, nos mecanismos articulatórios que asseguram a coesão textual (organizadores, marcadores/conectores, cadeias de referência). Os resultados apontam para uma estrutura em quatro blocos - exórdio, performance governativa, compromissos de futuro, peroração, alterada conforme as necessidades comunicativas. Os blocos inicial e final têm um pendor emotivo, relacionado com a época natalícia e seus valores, e os blocos centrais são de cariz objetivo, apresentando provas do desempenho e intenções governativas. Em virtude da flexibilidade que demonstram, considera-se que o plano de texto destas intervenções políticas é ocasional, não obstante existirem alguns segmentos frequentes.

ABSTRACT: Laminitis is a disease that affects the dermis and epidermis of the bovine hoof, generating changes in the hoof capsule. This study evaluated the effects of clinical laminitis diagnosed after the adaptation phase to confinement on the morphology, density, and mineral composition of the hoof of Nellore cattle after finishing. The animals were separated in the first weeks of confinement into a sick group (SG), with clinical laminitis, and a healthy group (HG). SG animals had higher heel length, dorsal wall length, toe height, and diagonal hoof length (p<0.05) than healthy animals. The dermal laminae had similar measurements for thickness, length, and spacing between them between SG and HG. Animals with laminitis showed congestion, hemorrhage, and basement membrane irregularities on histology. Computed microtomography (μCT) revealed that the hoof density of sick animals is lower than healthy ones. According to the mineral composition by energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence (ED-XRF) spectrometry, the hooves of animals with laminitis (SG) and healthy ones (HG) were not biochemically different. Therefore, the occurrence of clinical laminitis in Nellore cattle in the first weeks of confinement causes an increase in the morphometric parameters of the hoof capsule and a reduction in the density of the abaxial hoof wall evaluated after the finishing period. This disease does not promote changes in the histomorphometric parameters of the dermal laminae and the percentage of minerals in the abaxial hoof wall.

ABSTRACT: This study collected samples from 50 Holstein cows, most intensively bred, and from the Campos Gerais region, Paraná, with an average milk production of 30.21L/day. Samples of the liver, spleen and lymph nodes were collected to determine the levels of copper, cobalt, iron, molybdenum and zinc. Spleen and lymph nodes were subjected to histological analysis and evaluation of the degree of hemosiderosis. The average concentrations of copper (495.05ppm), molybdenum (4.19ppm), and zinc (274.49ppm) were higher than those established for the bovines. For cobalt 26% of the animals presented levels below the established level, which characterized cobalt deficiency. Only iron (299.12ppm) exhibited an adequate average level. Histopathologically hemosiderosis was observed mainly in the spleen (78%) and less frequently in the lymph nodes (20%). The observation of hemosiderin in the spleen and lymph nodes is not related to copper deficiency. Still it may be related to high levels of molybdenum, zinc, iron, or other undetermined causes.

ABSTRACT: Spirorchidiasis is one of the most common diseases in green turtles. Eggs and the adult form of trematodes are mainly found in the heart, liver, lung, spleen, and gastrointestinal tract. The present study aimed to describe the pathological aspects of Spirorchiidae trematode infection in green turtles (Chelonia mydas) in the Campos Basin, Rio de Janeiro. The current study was based on the necropsy of 99 green turtles (Chelonia mydas, Chelonidae) from April to December 2021. Epidemiological data were obtained from the Aquatic Biota Monitoring Information System (SIMBA). A histopathological examination was performed at the “Setor de Anatomia Patológica” (SAP) from “Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro” (UFRuralRJ). Tissue fragments (buccal papilla, esophagus, trachea, lung, heart, kidney, bladder, stomach, liver, spleen, intestines, gonads, adrenal, thyroid, pancreas, salt glands, muscle, and skin) were sampled for histological examination. The green turtles had lesions compatible with parasitic infection in 89% (88/99) cases. Out of 88 turtles, 87 were juveniles (99%), 75% (66/88) were females, and 25% (22/88) were males. Adult parasites and their eggs were found to cause granulomatous tissue reactions in 14% (12/88) of turtles. Egg-associated granulomatous inflammation was found in 86% (76/88) of the turtles. The organs with the highest number of egg-associated granulomas in order of occurrence were: the spleen, small intestine, adrenal gland, pancreas, and lungs. The adult trematodes were observed in histological lesions in order of occurrence, mainly in the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. Out of the total number of turtles parasitized, 33% (29/88) of deaths occurred due to multiple causes such as fractures, interaction with fishing, predation, and fibropapillomas. The other 67% (59/88) presented multisystemic granulomatous disease caused by Spirorchiidae infection as a cause of death. Evidence is presented that spirorchidiasis is highly prevalent in young green turtles, is responsible for extensive chronic lesions, and responsible for significant debilitation and mortality.
FUNDAMENTOS DA CONTRARREFORMA TRABALHISTA DO GOVERNO TEMER E SUAS REPERCUSSÕES PARA A CLASSE TRABALHADORA
Authors: VIEIRA CARLOS EDUARDO CARRUSCA , ARAÚJO JOSÉ NEWTON GARCIA DE
Published: May 2024

Resumo: Neste artigo, discutimos fundamentos político-ideológicos da Contrarreforma Trabalhista (Lei nº 13.467 de 13 de julho de 2017), que alterou a Consolidação das Leis do Trabalho. Com base em uma análise bibliográfica e documental, recorrendo a fontes primárias e secundárias, concluímos que essa contrarreforma não decorreu de diálogo amplo e profundo com a sociedade. As modificações nos dispositivos jurídicos, efetivadas em um processo de tramitação açodado, contradizem documentos legais e afrontam objetivos, princípios, direitos e garantias constitucionais, bem como convenções internacionais da Organização Internacional do Trabalho. Os fundamentos da contrarreforma residem no plano político-econômico e alinham-se à lógica neoliberal. Ela foi ancorada em discursos que disseminaram argumentos equivocados e inverdades. Mais de quatro anos após sua aprovação, as taxas de desemprego permanecem elevadas, a retomada do desenvolvimento econômico não se efetivou e a precarização das relações de trabalho foi aprofundada, com o recrudescimento da informalidade e vulnerabilidade social da classe trabalhadora.

Resumo: Este artigo apresenta uma análise das narrativas sobre os direitos da criança e do/a adolescente produzidas por profissionais do judiciário da área infantojuvenil. A abordagem teórico-metodológica é construtiva-interpretativa, sob as lentes da epistemologia qualitativa, ancorada no conceito de performance, que traduz as práticas e as atuações que constituem poder administrativo-judicial sobre crianças e adolescentes. Narrativas atravessadas por símbolos e noções relacionados a questões sociais amplas, tais como representação de famílias e papéis de gênero, moralidades relacionadas à infância e adolescência e criminalização da pobreza são acionadas como elementos nas narrativas sobre direitos da criança e do/a adolescente, atuando como componente das performances profissionais desenvolvidas na área infanto-juvenil da justiça.
THE SUBJECTIVATION AND POLITICAL EMANCIPATION PROCESSES IN JACQUES RANCIÈRE
Authors: Marques Angela Cristina Salgueiro , Prado Marco Aurélio Máximo
Published: May 2024

Abstract: This article aims to reflect on the concept of subjectivation in Jacques Rancière, highlighting how he thinks about the production of disidentified political subjects, who appear in the polemic scene through non-hierarchical relationships and articulations. We argue that the disruptive power of politics in Jacques Rancière is not in the affirmation of the self, but in the rearticulation between elements, which generates disidentifications and gives rise to the emergence of interval identities. The process of subjectivation configures a sensitive polemic scene in which ways of being, seeing and saying are invented, contesting the way in which the sharing of the world is made and distributed hierarchically, unequally, violating the dignity and recognition of the value of every form of life. Subjectivation promotes varied arrangements and operations, which destabilize and dismantle rationalities that maintain legibility, audibility and visuality. It makes subjects appear in the midst of conflicts and negotiations for justice.

RESUMO Objetivo: Compreender as Representações Sociais de enfermeiros de uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento sobre o cuidado dispensado às pessoas com transtornos mentais. Método: Estudo exploratório qualitativo, sustentado pelo referencial teórico-metodológico da Teoria das Representações Sociais. Foram realizadas entrevistas no período de julho a agosto de 2021. Os dados foram processados com o auxílio do software IraMuTeQ. Resultados: Foram entrevistados 22 enfermeiros. A partir dos dados processados foram cosntruídas três categorias discursivas: a tortuosidade da Rede de Atenção Psiscossocial: em busca de um caminho; O abismo entre o profissional de saúde e a pessoa com transtorno mental; e desvelando o cuidado dos enfermeiros da Unidade de Pronto Atendimento em saúde mental. Conclusão Identificou-se falta de conhecimento sobre a Rede de Atenção Psicossocial, elementos de ancoragem associados à experiências prévias negativas que influenciam a relação profissional-paciente e, um cuidado de enfermagem permeado por barreiras cognitivas. Tais achados são inéditos na localidade estudada e relevantes para promover a qualificação do trabalho do enfermeiro em saúde mental na Unidade de Pronto Atendimento.
