Os mecanismos de othering no combate à corrupção política
Authors: Maciel Amélia Coelho Rodrigues
Published: March 2024

Resumo Este artigo analisa a corrupção como uma nova versão de othering. O objetivo é distinguir, com base em pesquisa teórica, a dimensão linguístico-discursiva da construção do outro corrupto, tendo em vista os interesses neoliberais de acumulação de capital. Primeiro é realizado um estudo sobre o conceito de othering, com base no referencial teórico central de Spivak (1985) e Said (1995), além de outros complementares, como a literatura que discute o latino-americanismo. Em seguida, são analisados os mecanismos e as versões do othering, como a missão humanitária, civilizatória, dos Direitos Humanos, da terra degradada e do desenvolvimento, a partir dos estudos de Backhouse (2013), Chimni (2003), Gonçalves (2017; 2015; 2012) e outros. Posteriormente, a corrupção é estudada enquanto nova versão de othering, com base em Bratsis (2014), Hindess (2005), dentre outros. Por fim, é analisada a operação Lava Jato enquanto experiência de othering na história política brasileira recente, com base nas pesquisas de Ramina (2020 e 2021), Proner (2019), Romano (2021), Koheler (2015), dentre outras autoras e autores latino-americanos.
The ‘othering’ mechanisms in the fight against political corruption
Authors: Maciel Amélia Coelho Rodrigues
Published: March 2024

Abstract This article analyzes corruption as a new version of othering. Based on theoretical research, the objective is to investigate the linguistic-discursive dimension of constructing the corrupt other given the neoliberal interests of capital accumulation. First, a study is carried out on the concept of othering, based on the theoretical framework of Spivak (1985) and Said (1995), among others complementary, such as the literature that discusses Latin Americanism. Then, the mechanisms and versions of othering are analyzed, such as the humanitarian, civilizing, Human Rights, degraded land, and development mission, based on studies by Backhouse (2013), Chimni (2003), Costa and Gonçalves (2016; 2011) and Gonçalves (2017; 2015; 2012). Afterward, corruption is studied as a new version of othering, based on Bratsis (2014) and Hindess (2005), among others. Finally, the Lava Jato operation is analyzed as an othering experience in recent Brazilian political history, based on research by Ramina (2020 and 2021), Proner (2019), Romano (2021), Koheler (2015), in addition to other Latin American authors.
“If we had the right, we wouldn’t need to be protesting for nothing”: the struggle of shellfish gatherers from Farol de São Thomé, RJ - Brazil against gender stereotypes in public policies
Authors: Huguenin Fernanda Pacheco
Published: March 2024

Abstract The work carried out by women in the artisanal fishing production chain is historically invisible, whether in the internal prestige of communities, in fishing management, or in the legal identification of workers. Women's invisibility even incurs the restriction of social security rights, such as the so-called Defeso. Over the years 2018 to 2022, the research investigated the struggle of shellfish gatherers from Farol de São Thomé, a community located in Norte Fluminense, RJ - Brazil, against gender stereotypes present in the public policy entitled Projeto Bolsa Cidadão (PBC), instituted in the municipality of Campos dos Goytacazes/RJ from 2000 to 2021. Based on qualitative methodological techniques, such as direct observation in fieldwork, semi-structured interviews, and organization of a focus group, as well as a critical legal-anthropological epistemology, the text seeks to reflect on the dimensions of redistribution, recognition, and female participation in artisanal fishing and concludes that discriminatory blocks restrict or even exclude female workers from accessing social programs. This article results from research funded by the Pescarte Environmental Education Project (PEA), a mitigation measure required by the Federal Environmental Licensing conducted by IBAMA.
Estado e Boa Sociedade: elementos da concepção política do comunitarismo liberal
Authors: Schmidt João Pedro
Published: March 2024

Resumo Em meio à crise das ideologias e concepções tradicionais sobre o Estado, o comunitarismo liberal desenvolve uma abordagem política original. Sua proposta central é que uma boa sociedade requer um equilíbrio entre Estado, comunidade e mercado, rejeitando tanto o Estado mínimo quanto o estado-centrismo. No trabalho do sociólogo Amitai Etzioni, encontra-se a formulação política mais sistemática do pensamento comunitário. O presente texto busca responder a questão: que elementos são centrais na teoria comunitarista liberal na abordagem do papel do Estado e suas relações com a comunidade e o mercado nas sociedades contemporâneas? Segundo se expõe, os aspectos que distinguem a formulação comunitarista são: (i) a análise empírica do Estado tem como referência ético-política o conceito de boa sociedade; (ii) a democracia requer um Estado responsivo, sensível à voz das comunidades; (iii) ao contrário da política de neutralidade, o Estado está comprometido com um conjunto limitado de valores nucleares; (iv) o Estado cumpre funções fundamentais, mas, seja forte ou fraco, suas funções são sempre limitadas; (v) a satisfação das necessidades coletivas e do bem comum requer um equilíbrio entre Estado, comunidade e mercado; (vi) garantir a paz nas relações internacionais demanda a perspectiva da segurança básica, tendo a comunidade política global como horizonte. A teoria comunitarista, que se apresenta politicamente como uma terceira via, traz contribuições relevantes para compreender os dilemas atuais do Estado e examinar as perspectivas futuras. A técnica de pesquisa é bibliográfica.
Metodologia feminista e o Dano Moral Coletivo na ACP de Pinheirinho
Authors: Brandão Ana Carolina Brito , Albuquerque Mariana Imbelloni Braga
Published: March 2024

Resumo Trata-se da revisão da sentença que extinguiu, sem resolução de mérito, a ação civil pública proposta pela Defensoria Pública por danos morais coletivos pela ação violenta perpetrada no desalijo da comunidade Pinheirinho. As autoras concentraram esforços na análise do dano moral coletivo para aplicar uma metodologia feminista a um caso em que os titulares de direito não são apenas mulheres. Os estudos de gênero como uma categoria de análise dos processos sociais auxiliam a compreensão das tramas mais submersas das relações que estruturam o direito, o poder e o Estado. Por isso, mesmo em um caso em que a questão de gênero não aparece na superfície do fenômeno jurídico, o uso analítico dessa categoria nos revela sérias consequências que refletem nas estratégias institucionais para a proteção de direitos contra a discriminação e a desigualdade.
Patrimonio y educación. Salvaguarda y difusión de la memoria de la escuela desde los Museos de Educación en España
Authors: Ramos Zamora Sara , Rabazas Romero Teresa
Published: March 2024

Resumen Teniendo en cuenta las corrientes historiográficas, memorialistas y museológicas de finales del siglo XX y principios del siglo XXI se observa un creciente interés por el patrimonio cultural de la escuela. Lo que ha hecho que, durante los últimos veinte años, el patrimonio escolar se haya convertido en un instrumento fundamental para la resignificación y revalorización continua de las culturas y las identidades. A partir de una investigación cualitativa y el empleo del método histórico-educativo, en este artículo se analizan los procesos de salvaguarda y difusión del patrimonio histórico-educativo en España. Para ello, se ha realizado un análisis de contenido de los diferentes Museos de Educación, concretamente su organización, sus formas de conservar los objetos escolares y las prácticas de difusión, focalizando dicho análisis de forma particular, en el Museo Complutense de Educación. Como resultados más destacados, podemos afirmar que el gran interés por los objetos materiales e inmateriales de la escuela como objetos de memoria, han promovido la creación de una cultura museística extendida por todo el país y la creación de numerosos Museos de la Educación como centros de memoria educativa. Estos museos de educación pretenden recrear la memoria escolar de su territorio o región, lo que les otorga una identidad propia. Sin embargo, observamos un componente transgeneracional en tanto que reflejan una coincidencia en la reconstrucción de la escuela a través de las mismas fuentes patrimoniales materiales e inmateriales. Asimismo, se observa cómo en todos ellos el uso y difusión de objetos-huella nos desvelan algunos silencios de la intrahistoria educativa, condicionada más por las prácticas docentes que por las políticas educativas promulgadas en ciertos periodos de nuestra historia.
“Une autre manière d’enseigner”: as classes nouvelles francesas e seu transbordamento no Brasil nos anos 1950
Authors: Vieira Letícia , Dallabrida Norberto
Published: March 2024

Resumo O presente artigo se propõe a compreender as classes nouvelles e sua circulação e apropriação no ensino secundário brasileiro nos anos de 1950. Idealizadas e colocadas em marcha por Gustave Monod no ensino secundário francês, a partir de 1945, as classes nouvelles estabeleceram uma cultura escolar inovadora fundamentada na Educação Nova. Essa experiência pedagógica circulou no estado de São Paulo, por obra de Luís Contier, que, após estagiar na França, passou a aplicá-la na escola onde trabalhava. O ensaio de Contier, conhecido como classes secundárias experimentais, instigou o MEC a criar uma legislação, em 1958, que permitia a introdução dessas classes nos colégios brasileiros. Este trabalho é pensado a partir de conceitos da nova história cultural e é realizado com fontes escritas em língua francesa e portuguesa.
A psicologia nos manuais de didática, a didática dos manuais de psicologia: inovações pedagógicas na fronteira entre as disciplinas (Brasil, 1900-1960)
Authors: Silva Vivian Batista da , Lima Ana Laura Godinho
Published: March 2024

Resumo No intuito de compreender como as ideias de inovação pedagógica são dadas a ler aos professores, este artigo analisa manuais de Didática e Psicologia usados na Escola Normal entre 1900 e 1960. A pesquisa mapeia os autores desses livros, analisando também seus prefácios, sumários e conteúdos. Isso permite notar ideias e conceitos comuns aos manuais das diferentes disciplinas. Mesmo depois da divisão delas em matérias mais autônomas, nos anos 1930, a proximidade dos conteúdos permanece. Em alguns casos, os mesmos autores dedicam-se ao ensino e à escrita de manuais de Didática e de Psicologia; também é possível observar que certos temas, enunciados e autores de referência atravessam as suas fronteiras, em especial aqueles relacionados ao movimento da Escola Nova. Nota-se uma certa primazia da Psicologia sobre a Didática e outras áreas afins nos programas da Escola Normal, como foi o caso da Pedagogia, da Metodologia e da Prática de Ensino.
De la “Ley Guardo” a la “Ley Perón”: La constitución de la Universidad Obrera Nacional como modelo universitario del peronismo
Authors: Muñoz Álvaro Sebastián Koc
Published: March 2024

Resumen El presente trabajo buscará dar cuenta del modelo universitario constituido por el peronismo durante su primer gobierno (1946-1955) representado en la creación de la Universidad Obrera Nacional. En este sentido, presentaremos el modelo universitario consolidado con la Reforma Universitaria en Argentina, para luego ver de qué manera el peronismo cuestionó esta idea de universidad a través de la sanción de la ley 13.031/47. Por último, analizaremos de qué forma la sanción de la denominada “Ley Perón” (13.229/48) mediante la cual se crea la mencionada universidad y su posterior reglamentación termina por consolidar lo que hemos denominado como “modelo universitario peronista”.
Subversão e reiteração na representação do mundo na imprensa infantil franco-brasileira: considerações sobre La semaine de suzette e O tico-tico em 1905
Authors: Campos Raquel Discini de , Guillier Béatrice
Published: March 2024

Resumo O artigo discorre sobre o surgimento da imprensa infanto juvenil na França e no Brasil, problematizando os usos que pesquisadores das Ciências Humanas têm dado a este corpus documental potencialmente atraente. Discute a emergência deste nicho de mercado numa perspectiva transnacional, cotejando dialogicamente duas revistas ilustradas emblemáticas: a francesa La Semaine de Suzette e a brasileira O Tico-Tico, ambas nascidas em 1905. Analisa quatro capas inaugurais desses dois sucessos comerciais incontestes, procurando evidenciar a existência de uma particularidade constitutiva das capas da revista brasileira em relação às da congênere francesa: a presença da carnavalização discursiva, nos termos preconizados por Bakhtin (1980). Demonstra-se que O Tico-Tico subverte hierarquias de gênero, etárias e de classe social, particularmente àquelas relativas aos modos de ser idealizado dos filhos em relação aos pais, e dos alunos em relação aos professores.
Use of digital devices, family functioning, and language development in preschool children: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Gomes Maria Inês Figueiras , Lousada Marisa Lobo , Figueiredo Daniela Maria Pias de
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT Purpose This study aimed to analyse the relationship between the use of digital devices, family function, and language development in preschool children. Methods This cross-sectional, descriptive-correlational study included a sample of 93 parent-child dyads. The children were of an average age of 57.01 ± 9.95 months, and the majority were female. The data collection instruments included a questionnaire on the use of digital devices, the Portuguese version of the Family Flexibility and Cohesion Evaluation Scale - Version IV (FACES-IV), and a Preschool Language Test (TL-ALPE). Results The findings showed a greater tendency of children to use smartphones, tablets, and television for 0-3 hours daily. The analysis of the responses on the FACES-IV and TL-ALPE instruments showed that most of the participating families were of the balanced type and that most children had normal language development. Statistically significant relationships were found between the FACES-IV subscales and TL-ALPE subtests, FACES-IV subscales and the use of digital devices, and the use of digital devices and TL-ALPE subtests. Notably, children in more balanced family functioning scored higher on TL-ALPE tests, and the time spent using digital devices may compromise language development. Conclusion This study highlights the impact of digital device use and the role of family functioning on children’s language development, suggesting that moderate digital device use and balanced family functioning are facilitating factors for good language development.

Published: March 2024

RESUMO O presente artigo tem o objetivo de avaliar indicadores sociais e de saúde de municípios conforme a tipologia rural-urbano. Trata-se de estudo ecológico que utilizou dados oficiais de acesso público dos 853 municípios do estado de Minas Gerais, Brasil. Foram conduzidas análises descritivas e bivariadas através da Regressão de Poisson e Teste de Kruskal-Wallis. Do total de municípios, 547 (64,12%) são rurais. A maior média do Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano Municipal (IDH-M) foi observada entre os municípios urbanos. A maior média de cobertura da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) foi verificada entre os municípios rurais, nos quais também foram demonstrados os melhores resultados para os indicadores de mortalidades infantil, prematura e por causas evitáveis, homogeneidade vacinal e prevalência de desnutrição. Os achados deste estudo evidenciam que uma maior cobertura da ESF está associada à ocorrência de melhores condições gerais de vida e de saúde das populações atendidas em municípios de tipologia rural. Recomenda-se aos gestores de saúde o fomento à consolidação da ESF em comunidades com contextos socioeconômicos e culturais desfavoráveis, como localidades rurais remotas e aglomerados urbanos, e o estabelecimento de ações intersetoriais com impacto positivo na saúde.
Health care for adolescents who are susceptible to drug use
Authors: Mancilha Grasiella Bueno , Covic Amalia Neide
Published: March 2024

ABSTRACT This article deals with adolescences, in the plural, as a socio-historical construction of a dynamic process and with the experience of adolescents with their lifestyle and self-expression in a unique socio-historical context. It assumes that purely prescriptive measures are insufficient to address the complexity of mental illness processes in contemporary society. This study aims to understand the context of health care practices for vulnerable youth, particularly those involved in substance use, through the lens of tensions in health practice domains. This is an exploratory, descriptive study using a qualitative approach, with interviews conducted with health professionals (in Basic Health Unit and Psychosocial Care Center for Children and Adolescents). The study highlights the tensions within health practice between the biomedical model and the war on drugs and a community-based psychosocial approach; it underlines the need for reducing stigmatization, improving access, harm reduction, and individualized care. It also emphasizes the importance of considering and promoting a shift in mentality towards mental illness in order to develop care strategies. This process was carried out in line with the principles of the Brazilian Mental Health Reform, with advances and setbacks that affect the updating of health practices, which are more oriented towards proposals for psychosocial and vulnerability-reducing actions.

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe nurses’ perceptions of cancer patient care in Primary Health Care. Method: A qualitative study was conducted in 26 Family Health Centers in a municipality in western Santa Catarina - Brazil, between September and October 2022. A total of 33 nurses took part and completed an online questionnaire. The text was interpreted based on the conceptual precepts of organizational culture from Chiavenatto’s administrative theory. The frequency of responses analyzed objective questions; the Collective Subject Discourse was used for the essay questions. Results: Nurses perceive themselves as unprepared and identify a lack of protocols and organizational flows. Final considerations: In primary Health Care, there is a belief consolidated in everyday work and becomes part of the organizational culture of health services, that cancer patients should go on to specialist care. There is a lack of knowledge of health policies, which implicates professionals in caring for cancer patients.

All children who experience epileptic falls do not necessarily have Lennox‐Gastaut syndrome… but many do
Authors: Arzimanoglou Alexis , Resnick Trevor
Published: March 2024

Lennox‐Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a severe, chronic, epileptic encephalopathy, primarily with childhood onset, which is characterised by a triad of features: multiple seizure types, including tonic seizures that may appear late in the course of the disorder; abnormal EEG features with slow spike‐wave discharges; and cognitive impairment. Recognition of LGS is problematic, since the seizure types and EEG features that characterise it are not pathognomonic and often change over time. Furthermore, although seizures associated with LGS may occur de novo, the appearance of core LGS seizures may be preceded by prolonged periods of other seizure types, including myoclonic seizures, partial seizures, or infantile spasms. This has led some authors to postulate that a continuum between LGS and other types of childhood epilepsy may exist. Accurate diagnosis requires careful assessment of both clinical and EEG features, in order to distinguish LGS from other childhood epilepsy syndromes, such as atypical benign partial epilepsy of childhood, Dravet syndrome or epilepsies with predominantly myoclonic‐astatic seizures. Since there is no biological marker that can be used to confirm diagnosis of LGS and because of the multiple aetiologies that could lead to its development, early referral to a specialist team may prove to be crucial for facilitating both diagnosis and management. Such an approach ensures that patients receive the appropriate treatment at the correct time, providing the best opportunity for the clinical course and overall prognosis to be improved. Effective management of LGS requires regular reappraisal of the evolving symptoms and features, and adjustment of the treatment accordingly.

On the «Field» (Trial by Combat) in Russian Law in the 15th — Early 17th Centuries
Authors: Staroverova E. V.
Published: March 2024

The «Field» (trial by combat) is a procedural institution known to the sources of law of medieval Rus’ at least from the 13th century. For several centuries, the «field» was widely used as a means of proof, and was subject to detailed legal regulation as early as in the 15th century. A number of major regulatory legal acts regulated the conditions and procedure for the trial by combat, its legal consequences and the amount of «field duties». The possibility of participating in such a trial was also regulated by law in detail. The surviving materials of judicial practice make it possible to clarify this information and assert that the participants to the trial of combat could have been not only the plaintiff, defendant, witnesses and their «hires,» but also the judges who considered the case before the reporting procedure. In addition, slaves who represented their masters and were not considered «hiremen» could take part in a trial by combat. It should also be noted that, despite the negative attitude towards trials by combat on the part of the Russian Church, monks and clergy did not refuse to participate in the «field». At the same time, the legal papers show that they understood the bias of this means of proof and a gradual decrease in the number of fights, which became rare as early as in the 16th century, although the final disappearance of traces of this legal institution from legislation occurred only in the 17th century.
Outlining treatment methods and limitations for oropharyngeal cancer
Authors: Arora Vikram , Sutoski Adam
Published: March 2024

Oropharyngeal cancers are a prevalent form of the disease that affects approximately 1 in 60 men and 1 in 140 women. The tonsils are the most common site of oropharyngeal cancer, accounting for 23.1% of all cancers in this region [1]. In over 50% of oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas (OPSCC), the p53 gene is mutated [2,3]. This mutation on chromosome 17q13 can lead to a lack of growth control which prevents cells from responding to stress or DNA damage [2,3]. This viewpoint explores risk factors that are increasing the prevalence of OPSCC. Novel approaches for clinical treatment of oropharyngeal cancers are reviewed and compared to current treatments. Limitations for all treatment methods are discussed, demonstrating the need for continued research in the field.
An engineering perspective on transcription, translation and their regulation
Authors: Smieja Jaroslaw
Published: March 2024

Information coded in DNA is replicated, modified and transmitted from the origins of protein-based life. Analogies of these processes to information processing, transmission and storage in computer systems is straightforward and can be utilized both in analysis of biological data and in development of biologically based technical systems. Transcription and translation processes are regulated by extremely complex regulatory networks, providing control of cell growth, cell cycle and cellular responses to stress. As such, they constitute engineering control systems exerting their actions at many levels of time scale and spatial organization. This work presents an engineering perspective on DNA-related information processing and biochemical process control  in living cells, followed by a review of two-way crosstalk between engineering and biology.
The Post-Classical Transformation and the Need for the Institutional Reinterpretation of the Criminal Law Ontology
Authors:   Professor of the Department of State and Legal Disciplines of the Belarus State Economic University, LL.D., Professor, Khomich Vladimir M.
Published: March 2024

The article examines crisis phenomena of a social and legal nature in the functional and substantive foundations of objective criminal law, which occurred in the post-classical period, which are associated with the unreasonable expansion of coercive methods in the system of positive regulation of social relations, and in criminal law — with the loss of exceptional certainty and criminal law dimensions in the policy of recognizing what should be criminal and punishable. The need to eliminate the state of exceptional uncertainty and emergency in criminal and judicial policy is the main message of this narrative.

Published: March 2024

The article examines the issue of the range of sources of criminal law of the Russia. The positions of scientists who attribute the Constitution of the Russian Federation, international treaties of the Russian Federation, normative acts of other industries, decisions of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation to these sources are critically assessed. According to the author, today the real range of regulations containing criminal legal regulations is represented by the following documents: the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation; decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation; criminal regulations contained in the Penal Code of the Russian Federation and the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Russian Federation; resolutions of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation on amnesty; by-laws of the Russian Federation, which disclose the signs of crimes for the purposes of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation; Federal Law of June 24, 2023 No. 270-FZ “On the peculiarities of criminal liability of persons involved in participation in a special military operation”.

Þriðji íhaldskarl
Authors: Helgason Jón
Published: March 2024

In the so-called Fourth Grammatical Treatise which is preserved in a 14th century manuscript (AM 242 fol., Codex Wormianus) there are incorporated three stanzas (one of them incomplete) in scaldic metre (dróttkvætt). The aim of the poet was apparently to point out the interrelationship of certain similar words, and it is striking that all of them have the vowels á, ó or æ (umlaut of a), ce (umlaut of ó) in the root syllable. The fact that the poet's interest was limited to words with these vowels indicates a connection between the stanzas and a phonetic ohange which took place in Icelandic in the 13th century: the rounded vowel oe was replaced by the unrounded Æ. The stanzas can be explained by assuming that the author was a conservative man who regretted that the previous distinction between the two umlaut vowels was disappearing. A more detailed interpretation presents several problems which are discussed in the paper. It seems almost certain that the stanzas were written down from oral tradition and that the text is incorrect at some points.

In 1956 Professor Chr. Matras demonstrated the former use of shielings in the Faroes, based on the occurrence of the element ærgi, Old Irish airge in Faroese place-names5. The philological discovery was followed by archaeological recordíng and excavation, and in this paper identified and still unidentified remains of shielings are surveyed (fig. 1) and the excavation of a site in Ergidalur at Hov in Suðuroy is described.

To the left of the brook on fig. 2 an enclosure for the cattle — still unexcavated — is shown. To the right is the site of the house, fig. 3., from where the brook was crossed by a bridge. The house is 5.3 X 3.5 m inside and is divided by a secondary partition wall. Of dating evidence remains of clay bowls of Viking Age character are mentioned.

Highland Aeolian Deposits in the Faroe Islands
Authors: Christiansen Hanne H.
Published: March 2024

One of the characteristics of the Faroese landscape is the existence of highland aeolian deposits and the relative absence of coastal dunes. Several mountain tops are partly mantled by sheets of aeolian deposits. As the modern Faroese climate is dominated by strong winds, the presence of highland aeolian deposits is obvious. Their characteristics have, however, not been described earlier, whereas they are recognised in similar, neighbouring highland areas of NW Scotland. This paper preliminarilydescribes the geomorphology of the Faroese highland aeolian deposits, and discusses the further use of these deposits in palaeoenvironmental reconstructions.

Toftanes is a Viking age farmstead in the coastal village of Leirvík, Eysturoy. Excavations in the 1980s revealed four buildings, thousands of finds and radiocarbon dates which extend back to perhaps the 9th century AD. This is the first complex farmstead of the Viking Age landnám settlement to have been completely excavated in the Faroe Islands. Organic remains from floor layers were subjected to pollen and insect analyses in an effort to reconstruct land use associated with the farm and thewiderlandscape. The taphonomy of the deposits and their contained fossils presents diffículties for the interpretation of results.It is clear, however, that a mainly open landscape was associated with a largely pastoral economy, but cereal-type pollen is also present. The insect faunas are enigmatic in showing a very muted anthropogenic signature, yet one which displays obvious signs of anthropochorous habitats. Future palaeoecological research will include the investigation of many more samples and the analyses of seeds.
The vegetation of grass roofs in the Faroe Islands and the surrounding grassland vegetation – a study from Sandoy
Authors: McMullen J. Andy , Edwards Kevin J.
Published: March 2024

Abstract

Vegetation samples were taken from grass roofs on buildings in Húsavík and Sandur, on the island of Sandoy, in order to determine the factors responsible for the low species diversity of the roof turfs. The variables of slope, aspect and grazing were also measured and in combination with statistical analyses of the data by detrended correspondence analysis, correlation anda measure of species richness, three different hypotheses for the low species diversity of the roof turfs were explored relating to summer drought, grazing and the deliberate selection of turfs. The data collected do not support the last two hypotheses, although the affect of summer drought on the vegetation can only be determined experimentally.

Atlantssiðir — Atlantsorð

Published: March 2024

The introduction of the present paper mentions that a close study of Gaelic loanwords in Faroese (and the closely related languages as well) will lead to results which conveniently may be explained thus: From the Scots Gaelic areas through Orkney, Shetland, and the Faroes to Iceland we may draw a line from which another line may be drawn to some place on the western coast of Norway. The former line (south/north) is clear enough, though in rare cases ít is impossible to decide whether i( starts from Ireland or perhaps from Western England (where e. g. a component in place»names corresponding to Far. ærgi 'shieling' is to be found quite frequently). A picture of the same kind emerges from a thorough study of a number of seemingly Scandinavian words, e. g. gjó (Icel. gjá, Scots geo) and stakkr (Scots stack): Both words are known and used from the Isle of Man to Northern Iceland. The archeologists have shown us that the relations of the Faroes with the Hebrides and Northern Scotland are closer than with Norway. A study of the old peasant culture of the Faroes points to a close connection in the Viking Age with settlements in the Gaelic speaking areas, this is e. g. shown in the use of tormentil roots as tanning material.
The present paper demonstrates the already mentioned connections as regards the use of edible algae. The names of two algae point towards Shetland and Orkney, but also towards the Gaelic speaking countries: Far. slavak vlcel. slafak) and Far. mirkjalli (Icel. mari(n)kjarni, murukjarni, myrikjarni). During the viking period the Gaelic noun slabhac was introduced into the Atlantic branches of Norse in the form slafak, and the origin of mirkjalli is no doubt to be found in the same areas. However, it is a very complicated task to explain the relations between the differing Norse forms and the not less differing Gaelic forms (in the Scotch and Irish branches). The origin of *myr(i)kjalli, the probable form of the Viking Age (from which Far. mirkjalli, and Orc, Shetl. mirkyals), seems to be a Gaelic form, lurking behind the forms given by Macalpine (1832): muirichlinn and muirlinn, i. e. forms with an —1— in the second component. Besides myr(i)kjalli (Far. Orc, Shetl.) a form *myr(i)kjanní seems to have exísted, preserved in the Faroese placesname Mirkjanoyri and in Gael. mircean (Lewis). The word *myr(i)A:/anní, proposed here, is probably the origin of the Icelandic forms mentioned above The first component has been changed in different ways due to the influence of words snch as marr 'sea' María, mura 'silversweed' etc, vvhile the second component has been influenced by kjarni 'seed, core'.
Shear wave elastography values of thrombus in patients with lower extremity deep vein thrombosis for pulmonary embolism detection: the ROC analysis
Authors: Akramova Endge G. , Kapustina Ekaterina P.
Published: March 2024

Rationale: Thrombosis of the iliac (IV) and femoral veins (FV) is one of the most common causes of pulmonary embolism (PE). Modern ultrasound scanners are equipped with the technology of shear wave elastography, which gives a quantitative assessment of thrombus stiffness by Young's modulus reconstruction. However, the lack of convincing data on the role of thrombus stiffness for clinical manifestations of PE hinders the active use of shear wave elastography to diagnose the risk of embolism.
Aim: To determine the threshold values of the venous thrombus Young’s modulus for deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of the lower extremities complicated by massive PE and/or PE with acute cor pulmonale (ACP).
Materials and methods: This was a single center cross-sectional study in 101 patients who were hospitalized with the diagnosis of acute (duration of less than 2 weeks) or subacute (from 2 weeks to 3 months) IV and FV thrombosis. Doppler ultrasound of the lower extremity veins and echocardiography were done in all patients. Forty eight patients with clinical signs of PE had chest computed tomography. The venous thrombus stiffness was assessed by shear wave elastography with the Young's modulus reconstruction. We performed the ROC analysis for mean values of the Young's modulus for proximal segments of IV and FV thrombi in patients with DVT and massive PE and ACP.
Results: PE was diagnosed in 40.6% (26/64) of the patients hospitalized with acute DVT and in 54.1% (20/37) of those with subacute DVT. Echocardiographic signs of ACP in massive PE were found in 47.4% (9/19) of the patients, in submassive and minor PE in 55.6% (15/27). In DVT complicated with PE, the ROC analysis of the shear wave elastography results gave the following threshold values of the mean Young’s modulus for the proximal thrombus segment: for acute IV thrombosis + PE and ACP, ≤ 16.7 kPa (AUC 0.714, sensitivity 100%, specificity 42.1%), in subacute IV thrombosis + PE and APC, ≤ 23.7 kPa (0.939, 100 and 90.9%, respectively), in acute FV thrombosis + massive PE, ≥ 9.5 kPa (0.706, 100 and 50%, respectively), in subacute FV thrombosis + massive PE, ≥ 24.4 kPa (0.550, 60.0 and 68.8%, respectively).
Conclusion: Shear wave elastography of deep vein thrombi of the lower extremities makes it possible to identify patients with PE and ACP during acute and subacute IV thrombosis and to determine massive PE in acute FV thrombosis.
Studies on the Impact of Integrated Nutrient Management on Growth and Quality Parameters of Turmeric
Authors: Mondal R. , Hore J.K.
Published: March 2024

Background: The health of the soil is negatively impacted by chemical fertilizer sources and plants are less able to absorb the readily available nutrients. The current study used several nutrition sources to reduce the negative impacts of chemical fertilizers, boost nutrient availability and preserve health. Methods: The present experiment was conducted in a field laboratory during 2017-19. 4 different manures, 3 different bio-fertilizers and graded levels of NPK were applied in the form of 13 treatments. Data on the vegetative development of turmeric plants were collected before harvesting and quality data were obtained after harvesting and some processing. Result: Vermicompost + NPK (100%) + Biofertilizers showed the highest results by considering the leaf number (23.64), tiller number (4.25) and height of plant (191.74 cm). Higher dry recovery (23.56%), oleoresin (13.48%) and curcumin content (6.16%). Alternative sources of nutrients are reducing the dose of chemical fertilizers application as well as improving the vegetative growth and quality of turmeric rhizome. In this way, we can replace 25-50% of chemical fertilizers with organic sources and enhance the soil health for plant growth and production.
