The meaning of the care of hospitalized children: experiences of nursing professionals
Authors: Giacomello Karina Jogino , Melo Luciana de Lione
Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the meaning of the care of hospitalized children for the nursing professionals of a pediatric unit. Method: phenomenological study, based on the existential phenomenology of Martin Heidegger. Ten nursing professionals were interviewed with the guiding question: “What is the care of hospitalized children for you? Tell me, in detail, your experience with taking care of hospitalized children.” Results: the meaning of the care of hospitalized children materializes between the profession and the various ways of preoccupation. By engaging in/worrying about the ways of being of everyday life, the professionals tend to improperness when trying to mediate and level all possibilities of being. However, when they extrapolate reassurance and do not get caught up in themselves, they achieve empathy, respect, and indulgence. Final Considerations: it is necessary to reassess the teaching and practice of care, so that authentic care is offered to children and their families in the context of hospitalization.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To conduct a cross-cultural adaptation of the Preterm Parenting & Self-Efficacy Checklist to the Brazilian Portuguese. Method: A methodological study was carried out with 51 parents of premature infants. Data analysis was based on psychometric and inferential statistical analyses. Results: The instrument content validation by experts obtained excellent agreement (97%) and the semantic analysis by the target population showed good understanding of the terms and ease of use. In test-retest, most participants were female (64.7%); and parents with higher education (47.1%). The instrument showed stability over time, with good internal consistency (α = 0.84). Four factors were generated in the subscales parenting self-efficacy, importance of tasks and self-perceived parental competence (67.0% to 74.2% of the variance). Conclusion: The properties of the Preterm Parenting & Self-Efficacy Checklist – Brazilian Version were maintained, which is a reliable indicator to evaluate the hospital discharge of premature infants.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to develop the concept ambience for labor and normal institutionalized delivery, identifying in the literature its antecedent, defining attributes and the consequent. Method: the method used was the analysis of literature, corresponding to the first stage of the qualitative method of concept analysis. The theoretical operation was performed in the databases CINAHL COCHRANE, LILACS, PsycINFO, and PubMed. Results: aspects of the parturient woman and the qualification of the physical and social space are presented as the antecedent. The defining attributes outline the assistance interaction process with Non-Invasive Technologies. As the consequent, we highlight the outcome for normal delivery, pain relief and comfort, woman satisfaction and well-being. Final considerations: the analysis of the antecedent, defining attributes and the consequent allowed the elaboration of an unprecedent theoretical proposition of this concept.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: To discuss the process of transition to motherhood and mothering of women who are wheelchair users, from the perspective of Afaf Ibrahim Meleis. Method: Qualitative, descriptive, exploratory study conducted with six women in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The Life Narrative method was used, with thematic analysis in the light of Transitions Theory. Results: Developmental and situational transitions occurred and were influenced by personal, community and social factor. Moved mainly by ignorance and prejudice of family members and of the social network, these factors were not barriers for motherhood and mothering. Final Considerations: The reproductive rights of women with disabilities must be respected and, for this, inclusive policies focused on women with disabilities should be adopted.

Published: December 2019

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze factors associated with Apgar of 5 minutes less than 7 of newborns of women selected for care at the Center for Normal Birth (ANC). Method: a descriptive cross-sectional study with data from 9,135 newborns collected between July 2001 and December 2012. The analysis used absolute and relative frequency frequencies and bivariate analysis using Pearson’s chi-square test or the exact Fisher. Results: fifty-three newborns (0.6%) had Apgar less than 7 in the 5th minute. The multivariate analysis found a positive association between low Apgar and gestational age less than 37 weeks, gestational pathologies and intercurrences in labor. The presence of the companion was a protective factor. Conclusion: the Normal Birth Center is a viable option for newborns of low risk women as long as the protocol for screening low-risk women is followed.

Published: December 2019

Abstract Molybdenum oxides are very interesting technologic materials, which present several industrial uses. The addition of a second metal may enhance its catalytic properties as well as change electronic behavior. Several methodologies for adding a second metal can be found in the literature, however, the comparison between them is hardly ever found. Here two processing routes were tested for the synthesis of molybdenum oxide with cobalt addition: solid-state and wet routes. Ammonium molybdate and cobalt nitrate were used as starting materials and cobalt addition was carried out before calcination. Starting materials were characterized by SEM, FTIR, XRF, and XRD. Calcination products were evaluated by SEM, XRF, XRD and UV-vis spectroscopy. Calcined products whose doping was performed via solid-state presented smaller crystal size (~25 nm), larger cobalt retention (deviation, δ ~10%) and slightly smaller band gap in comparison to those doped via the wet route (~40 nm and δ>11%).
Insect galls of the Reserva Biológica União, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Authors: Maia Valéria Cid , Siqueira Erick de Souza
Published: December 2019

Abstract: Several inventories of insect galls have been performed in the Atlantic Forest of Rio de Janeiro, mostly in restingas, whereas the other phytophysiognomies remain poorly sampled. The present study inventoried the insect galls of Reserva Biológica União (RJ), a protected area comprising mainly Ombrophilous Forest. Field work was performed every two months from January to October, 2013. Insect galls were collected, photographed, characterized and transported to the laboratory. Adults were obtained by rearing and immature stages by gall dissection. The insects were deposited in the Cecidomyiidae Collection of the Museu Nacional. A total of 153 gall morphotypes were found on plants representing 37 plant families, 69 genera, 55 species and 53 morphospecies. Among them, two plant genera and five species were reported for the first time as host plants in Ombrophilous Forest. REBIO União showed little similarlity of host plant species and insect gall morphotypes when compared with other investigated Ombrophilous Forest areas. The leaf was the most attacked plant organ as expected. Asteraceae, Bignoniaceae, Fabaceae and Myrtaceae, and Mikania (Asteraceae) and Myrcia (Myrtaceae) were the richest host families and genera, respectivey, in number of gall morphotypes, all previously indicated as superhosts by other Brazilian Ombrophilous Forest inventories, except Bignoniaceae. Their great species richness may be related to their great gall richness, adding evidence in support of the taxon size hypothesis. Fusiform and globose galls were the most frequent, green was the predominant color, and most morphotypes did not present an indumentum. The highest gall richness was recorded in June and August. The gallers were distributed among Diptera (Cecidomyiidae), Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Hemiptera and Thysanoptera, with the first being predominant, following a global pattern. Eight gall-inducing species are recorded for the first time in REBIO União and four in Ombrophilous Forest. About 25% of the gall morphotypes were occupied by dwellers other than those that created the gall. They comprised parasitoids (Hymenoptera), inquilines (Diptera: Sciaridae and Muscomorpha, Hemiptera, and Lepidoptera) and successors (Psocoptera, mites, and Hymenoptera: Formicidae). Although these taxa were previously reported by Brazilian inventories of insect galls, 12 new association with plants are recorded. The amount of new records reinforces the importance of inventories.

Published: December 2019

Abstract: The Madeira River is the most extensive tributary of the Amazon River and has the largest diversity of fishes in the world. On its right bank, the Madeira River receives the Jamari River, in which the first hydroelectric power plant (HPP) in State of Rondônia, Samuel HPP, was built. Besides this, other dams were built in the Jamari River and its tributaries, however, the available information in the scientific literature about the ichthyofaunistic diversity of this basin is rare. This work aims to provide an ichthyofaunistic inventory in a region of the Jamari river basin, in the State of Rondônia, where three small hydropower plants (SHPs) were implemented. The ichthyofauna was sampled in 16 expeditions between August 2015 and December 2018. Gill nets and seine nets were used with different meshes, as well as longlines and cast nets at different times of the day. Additionally, 81 INPA lots of species from the Samuel HPP area of influence were reanalyzed. Fish were identified according to the specialized literature, as well as in consultations with experts of various taxonomic groups. Voucher specimens of the species were cataloged and deposited in the ichthyological collection of the Núcleo de Pesquisas em Limnologia, Ictiologia e Aquicultura (Nupélia) of the Universidade Estadual de Maringá. A total of 230 species were recorded, of which 22 were putative new species, 117 were added to the Jamari River basin and 28 to the Madeira River basin. The continuation of the studies in this section of the Jamari river basin is fundamental for analysis of local impact due to the presence of dams. Moreover, the addition of putative new species to the Madeira River basin indicates gaps in the knowledge of Neotropical ichthyofauna.
Aneurismas de artéria esplênica: história natural e técnicas de tratamento
Authors: Mariúba Jamil Victor de Oliveira
Published: December 2019

Resumo Aneurismas da artéria esplênica (AAE) verdadeiros são uma patologia rara, mas potencialmente fatal. São o terceiro aneurisma abdominal mais comum, após aneurismas da aorta e da artéria ilíaca, e representam quase todos os aneurismas de artérias viscerais. Os aneurismas verdadeiros são responsáveis por 60% dos AAEs e afetam as mulheres quatro vezes mais do que os homens, geralmente relacionados a uma descoberta incidental ou sintomática aumentada que coincide com o uso da ultrassonografia na gravidez. Em pacientes grávidas, a mortalidade, após a ruptura, é de 65-75%, com mais de 90% de mortalidade fetal. Têm múltiplas etiologias, e acredita-se que as influências hormonais e as alterações do fluxo portal durante a gestação desempenhem um papel importante no desenvolvimento do AAE. Esta revisão discorrerá sobre sua história, epidemiologia, fisiopatologia, diagnóstico, e as técnicas atuais de tratamento.

Published: December 2019

RESUMO Objetivou-se com este trabalho analisar a resistência de placas ósseas de acrílico, confeccionadas com cortadora a laser CO2, quando submetidas às forças que agem sobre o foco de fratura. Foram utilizados 40 fêmures de ovinos (Ovis aries) e confeccionadas 40 placas de acrílico, os quais foram avaliados em grupos: grupo OP - foram avaliados 20 ossos fraturados reduzidos com 20 placas de acrílico; grupo PS - foram avaliadas 20 placas de acrílico; e grupo OS - foram avaliados 20 ossos íntegros e frescos. Todos foram submetidos a ensaios mecânicos de compressão, flexão, torção e tração, em máquina de ensaios universal EMIC® 10000. Os testes eram interrompidos quando havia fratura do corpo de prova. O grupo PS suportou carga de compressão significativamente superior aos demais grupos OP e OS (13.255±290N, 4.932±827N e 8.681±303N, respectivamente). Já em relação à prova de flexão, o grupo OS foi significativamente mais resistente, com média de 2.698±305N, em relação aos grupos OP e PS, que obtiveram 1.315±92N e 1.537±37N, respectivamente. Conclui-se que as placas de acrílico usinadas a laser apresentam resistência mecânica inferior ao fêmur de ovinos, entretanto, devido à resistência exibida nos testes, demonstraram potencial para serem implantadas em ossos com menor demanda de carga.

ABSTRACT Objective: To test the construct validity, reliability, and measurement error of the Brazilian Portuguese-language version of the Manchester Respiratory Activities of Daily Living (MRADL) questionnaire in patients with COPD. Methods: We evaluated 50 patients with COPD, among whom 30 were men, the mean age was 64 ± 8 years, and the median FEV1 as a percentage of the predicted value (FEV1%predicted) was 38.4% (interquartile range, 29.1-57.4%). Pulmonary function and limitations in activities of daily living (ADLs) were assessed by spirometry and by face-to-face application of the MRADL, respectively. For the construct validity analysis, we tested the hypothesis that the total MRADL score would show moderate correlations with spirometric parameters. We analyzed inter-rater reliability, test-retest reliability, inter-rater measurement error, and test-retest measurement error. Results: The total MRADL score showed moderate correlations with the FEV1/FVC ratio, FEV1 in liters, FEV1%predicted, and FVC%predicted, all of the correlations being statistically significant (r = 0.34, r = 0.31, r = 0.42, and r = 0.38, respectively; p < 0.05 for all). For the reliability and measurement error of the total MRADL score, we obtained the following inter-rater and test-retest values, respectively: two-way mixed-effects model intraclass correlation coefficient for single measures, 0.92 (95% CI: 0.87-0.96) and 0.89 (95% CI: 0.81-0.93); agreement standard error of measurement, 1.03 and 0.97; smallest detectable change at the individual level, 2.86 and 2.69; smallest detectable change at the group level, 0.40 and 0.38; and limits of agreement, −2.24 to 1.96 and −2.65 to 2.69. Conclusions: In patients with COPD in Brazil, this version of the MRADL shows satisfactory construct validity, satisfactory inter-rater/test-retest reliability, and indeterminate inter-rater/test-retest measurement error.
Reflexões sobre o envelhecimento e bem-estar de idosas institucionalizadas
Authors: Ribeiro Adalgisa Peixoto , Schutz Gabriel Eduardo
Published: December 2019

Resumo Este trabalho tem o objetivo de estabelecer similitudes e discrepâncias entre os discursos sobre o próprio bem-estar, produzido por dois grupos de idosas viúvas de origem rural, em asilo e em convívio com a família na cidade de Caratinga, Minas Gerais. Foram entrevistadas oito idosas, sendo quatro institucionalizadas e quatro da comunidade. Foram comparadas as idéias centrais e as ancoragens contidas nos discursos. Os resultados mostram que as institucionalizadas atribuem ao trabalho o sentido da vida, as interações sociais estão ausentes em seus discursos, a doença recebe outra conotação, o cuidado à saúde não ocorre de forma autônoma e a presença das questões culturais, como a religiosidade, é marcante entre elas. Concluímos que a institucionalização imprime nas idosas uma representação diferenciada em relação a seu próprio bem-estar. As questões que caracterizam o envelhecimento como uma fase de perdas, solidão e dependência estão presentes com maior intensidade entre as idosas que vivem na instituição asilar.

Published: December 2019

Resumo O processo de envelhecimento é um dos fatores que, através da deterioração do equilíbrio, influenciam o aumento do número de quedas e resultam em sérias complicações, como o medo de cair. O Tai Chi Chuan é uma arte marcial milenar oriental considerada um exercício de intensidade leve a moderada. A prática do Tai Chi Chuan na população idosa apresenta efeitos positivos no controle do equilíbrio, na incidência de quedas e no medo de cair. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma revisão sistemática que evidenciasse o efeito do Tai Chi Chuan na incidência de quedas, no medo de cair e no equilíbrio em idosos. Foram pesquisados ensaios clínicos aleatórios nas bases de dados Medline, Lilacs, Cochrane e PEDro. Dois revisores avaliaram a qualidade dos estudos e realizaram a extração dos dados de forma independente. Foram selecionados seis artigos, que abrangeram 816 participantes. Uma análise dos resultados demonstrou uma resposta positiva do Tai Chi Chuan na redução da incidência de quedas e no medo de cair em idosos sedentários e que vivem na comunidade. O mesmo efeito não foi observado em relação à melhora da estabilidade postural.
Poder Monetário Estrutural: do padrão ouro ao dólar flexível
Authors: Torres Filho Ernani Teixeira
Published: December 2019

Resumo As necessidades de financiamento das guerras no século XVII levaram a Inglaterra a realizar inovações financeiras importantes, que deram lugar à Revolução Financeira. Esse conjunto de mecanismos - dívida pública de longo prazo, banco central e mercados secundários relevantes - permitiram à Grã-Bretanha desempenhar um papel central no sistema financeiro internacional até a 1ª Grande Guerra. Entretanto, esse ganho não proporcionou aos ingleses um poder monetário estrutural, apesar do papel central que seu mercado financeiro e sua moeda tiveram durante o padrão ouro. Diferentemente, os Estados Unidos usaram seu poder monetário estrutural tanto para implantar o regime de taxas fixas de Bretton Woods quanto para rompê-lo e substituí-lo pelo atual sistema monetário e financeiro internacional, baseado do dólar flexível. A crise de 2008 mostra que o poder estrutural americano está intacto e sem competidores potenciais relevantes.
¿Una mercancía “como cualquier otra”? Reexaminando la determinación del valor de la fuerza de trabajo
Authors: Fitzsimons Alejandro , Starosta Guido
Published: December 2019

Resumen Este artículo aborda la cuestión del proceso de producción de la fuerza de trabajo con el objetivo de reexaminar la postura de Marx sobre la determinación del valor de esta ‘mercancía peculiar’. En pos de ello, se revisan críticamente los principales aportes que han cuestionado el análisis marxiano de dicho fenómeno, para luego ofrecer una línea argumental alternativa que da fundamentos adicionales a la explicación de Marx acerca de la determinación del valor de la fuerza de trabajo por el tiempo de trabajo socialmente necesario para su producción. Por último, se ilustran las implicaciones de esta perspectiva para los problemas abiertos por el debate marxista sobre el trabajo doméstico.
O que é superexploração?

Published: December 2019

Resumo O que é a superexploração da força de trabalho? Como a superexploração funciona? Quais são seus impactos para a classe trabalhadora? O presente artigo busca responder a essas questões, demonstrando como a categoria introduzida por Ruy Mauro Marini pode ser compreendida em acordo com a teoria marxista do valor, e como ela se articula com a determinação do valor da força de trabalho. O texto foi elaborado tendo em vista tanto contribuir para uma compreensão mais ampla dessa categoria quanto para apresentá-la àqueles que não são conhecedores do debate sobre a dependência.
Furtado e seus críticos: da estagnação à retomada do crescimento econômico
Authors: Coutinho Mauricio C.
Published: December 2019

Resumo O artigo discute o ‘modelo de estagnação’, desenvolvido por Furtado em 1965 e 1966, e comenta a crítica de Tavares e Serra à formulação de Furtado, de ‘Além da Estagnação’ (1971). Procura discutir em que medida os textos de Furtado da primeira metade dos anos 1970 teriam representado uma meia-volta, no sentido de abandono dos pressupostos analíticos do modelo estagnacionista. Conclui que os impasses do modelo de estagnação de Furtado são inúmeros e bem diversos daqueles arguidos por Tavares e Serra.

Evidências da importância da indústria e dos serviços para o crescimento econômico dos municípios brasileiros
Authors: Veríssimo Michele Polline , Saiani Carlos César Santejo
Published: December 2019

Resumo A literatura baseada em Kaldor defende a indústria como o motor do crescimento econômico (engine of growth hypothesis). Contudo, trabalhos recentes destacam a relevância dos serviços para impulsionar o crescimento. Contribuindo para tal debate, o objetivo deste estudo é avaliar os efeitos das participações dos setores industrial e de serviços sobre o crescimento do produto per capita dos municípios brasileiros. Além disso, é averiguado se há efeitos heterogêneos em função do nível de renda municipal per capita e da importância de cada setor para a economia dos municípios. Para isso, são realizadas estimações econométricas em painel com dados de 1999 a 2012. As evidências sinalizam que a indústria tem papel importante sobre o crescimento nos municípios com menores níveis de renda. Porém, em municípios com níveis superiores de renda, a importância dos serviços como motor do crescimento é relativamente maior. As evidências sugerem, ainda, que as relações entre o crescimento econômico e as participações dos dois setores têm formato próximo a um “U-invertido”.
Empathic Communication in Cooperative Play of 2 and 3 Year Olds
Authors: Lira Paula Gabrielly Rasia , Pedrosa Maria Isabel
Published: December 2019

Abstract Although empathy is the key to interpersonal relationships, it has been little investigated in children and partners. Empathy is considered a multidimensional construct with affective, cognitive and social components. The present study aimed to understand the construction of cooperative play through empathy in 2-3 year olds. The empathic phenomenon was inferred through behaviors that denote satisfaction, threat, dispute, reconciliation, comfort, among others, emphasizing its communicative role. Twenty children were videotaped in free interaction in a municipal public day care center. Data were qualitatively analyzed - microgenetic analysis of video recordings - and showed that although empathic communication is constitutive of cooperative coordinated play, it does not guarantee its accomplishment. Imitation is the most used strategy for a child to fit into an already structured play. The study empirically reveals the social dimension of empathy and highlights the relevance of investigating children in interaction with peers.

West Anglia main line upgrade – a geotechnical perspective
Authors: Nyambayo Vincent , Chandrashekharaiah Naveena , Gray Chris , Allum Danielle , Koka Evans , Asare Michael
Published: December 2019

London is a megacity with a population of just under 10 million people that is increasing. Investment in major infrastructure projects is required to cope with this growth, including the upgrade of existing rail infrastructure. The West Anglia main line project in north London involves upgrading the railway network to meet the demands spawned by the regeneration of the Lea Valley hinterland, catalysed by the redevelopment of the Elizabeth Park (former site of the London 2012 Olympics). The works included upgrade of Tottenham Hale and Northumberland Park stations, and construction of a brand new Meridian Water station and other lineside infrastructure. The project will increase rail capacity, provide better internal mobility and improved links to the city on this congested West Anglia main line, as well as accommodate proposed future plans for Crossrail 2 between London and Stansted airport. The project will also unlock housing development and economic growth in the boroughs of Enfield, Haringey and Waltham Forest. This paper presents a geotechnical perspective of the project and discusses the ground conditions, design and construction of the trackbed and substructures for bridges, overhead line equipment and station upgrade works. This will leave a legacy for future designers of upgrade and extension works.

Published: December 2019

The article dwells upon the history of the urban project “Linear City”, which subsequently had a serious impact on the theory of urban planning throughout the world. It also analyzes the reasons for its occurrence and the main ideas that were implemented by its author, Arturo Soria, a Spanish engineer and entrepreneur. A detailed chronology of the project, initial success during its implementation, difficulties are revealed. The article analyzes potential causes that led to a distortion of the project’s basic principles, a complete halt of its development, subsequent degradation and final collapse. Today only a subway station called the Linear City and the main street bearing the name of its author recalls the Linear City of Madrid that was once located there. Most of the research materials are first presented in Russian, and some of the materials are published for the first time in the scientific literature.
HOUSE , CITY, BASILICA: MET AMORPHOSES OF THE INVARIANT CO DE IN THE ST RUCTURE OF THE ARCHITECTURAL PLAN
Authors: Malakhov Sergey Alekseevich , Boranov Sergey Sergeevich
Published: December 2019

The article analyzes the structure of the architectural plan from the standpoint of the influence of the invariant codes that are simultaneously inherent in such types of objects as a house, a city and a basilica. The invariant code guarantees a kind of topological stability of the structure, regardless of the experiments with the shape of the object. The idea of architectural topology is formed on the basis of analytical diagrams combined with images of plans. The destruction or deviation of the code raises questions about the possibility of effective functioning in all subsystems of the object. On the other hand, it is deliberate experiments with the plan that open the way for us to overcome the normative scenario of archofunction in the interests of spatial adventure and new “architectural stories”.

These concepts are viewed as able to restore the meaning of architecture, which has been subject to “repression” due to the humanitarian crisis in its relation to modern design methods. Using M. Heidegger’s ideas as applied to environmental design, the authors offer a concept of the world’s phenomenological model, which describes the relation between reality and an object of design. The authors make a hypothesis that the model can be used as a methodological basis of environmental design in terms of the phenomenological approach. The authors support their ideas by analyzing creative methods of such representatives of phenomenological architecture as S. Holl, P. Zumthor, architectural school MARSH, S. Malakhov and E. Repina’s artistic studio on the basis of the described model. The hypothesis is proved in course projects where the described model is applied.

Authors: Hul Oleksandra
Published: December 2019

The key focus of the Article is based on the new trend in Chinese poetry named “Misty poetry”, which appeared in China in the 20 century as a rebellion and notice of appeal in the literary circles of young generation. Under the political and social pressure of the totalitarian regime in China, and in the conditions of total control over the literary process, there appeared a new style of expressing own thoughts and believes among youth, called “Misty poetry” or revolutionary poetry. This Article is revealing the aim, preconditions and key tasks of Misty poets. Being a leader of the Misty poets’ group, popular Chinese poet Bei Dao is taken as a vivid example of revolutionary youth of the 20 century. The Article shows his political, social and literary activity as an example of the whole Misty group idea. The main aspects provided in the Article are based on the great love and respect of the Misty poets towards China, Chinese language, Chinese nature and culture. The Article shows how difficult it was for the poets to be far away from their Motherland and to have no chance to come back, how dif- ficult it was to write Chinese poetry being forbidden in native country. The Article also reveals the “Secret code of culture and nation” which is based on the symbols and words of native language. The “Secret code of culture and nation” is understood only by the native speakers, loving their Motherland. The Article uses original poetry of Bei Dao and is also based on the original historical and political facts, taking into account interviews with the poet, which show his real way of thinking in the terms of Misty poetry. The inner world of Bei Dao is described in the examples of his poetry: “Local Dialect” (“乡音”), “Hello, Bai Hua Shan” (“你好，百花山”), “Let’s go” (“走吧”). Nearly all of his poetry tells about true love for China and a great dream of using native language without fear and persecution. We provide a description of the hidden way of Bei Dao’s thinking, while analyzing his great poem “Local Dialect” (“乡音”). Each word should be examined taking into account the unique symbols of China. Bei Dao believes that only people, loving Chinese culture and loving Chinese language can under- stand the deep meaning of Misty poetry.

STANISŁAW BARAŃCZAK – THE LINGUISTIC POETRY OF GENERATION 68
Authors: Martyniuk Svitlana
Published: December 2019

The work focuses on recognizing the features of each individual language-centered poetics, refer ring to philosophy of common person and aesthetics. For instance the Generation 68 of Polish linguistic writers involves opposite results to the imperative “to protect my own language from fabrication and depravation”. The opposition “trustfulness-distrustfulness” does not cover all possible complications within the realm of poetic metareflection. These reflections are located between poetical optimism and pessimism. The latter is highly related to what is called “the crisis of language”. The work investigates the role of linguistic poetry of Stanisław Barańczak in breaking down the conventional optimism of Polish belles-letters style.

The article explores the use of irony as a form of linguistic dissidence in the poetry of a Polish poet, Stanislaw Barańczak. It offers an analysis of poems, written in the period between 1968 and 1978 and which expose political and social preoccupations of PRL (Polish People’s Republic) at the time. It shows that the ironic stance serves as a dissenting voice against the politics of the state as well as the social situation, while the employment of extra-literary language serves the purpose of discrediting the “official word”.
THE METAPHYSICAL MOTIVES IN THE POETRY OF BOLESŁAW LEŚMIAN
Authors: Pospolita Anastasiia
Published: December 2019

The research is devoted to the metaphysical motives in the poetry of Bolesław Leśmian. This is an important milestone in the history of Polish literature. The legacy of such poets determines not only the nature of national poetry, but also has a significant impact on the development of world literature.

Bolesław Leśmian created his unique metaphysical world. Its structure, organization and other features and innovations are the subject of our study. The aim of the study is to show the metaphysical motives in the poetry of Bolesław Leśmian, based on the critical reception of the representatives of the Polish and Ukrainian literary studies from the past and present century. The main features of the soul topos in Lesmian’s poetry are its transcendent origin, connection to corporalness, death, individuality, permanent motion.

In our study, we came to the conclusion that Man can exist only in conjunction with nature. With its help, he can know the otherworldly, God, but when he merges with it, he becomes a different form of being, but does not die. Because man can not know God, he is afraid of the unknown and the unconscious she suffers. Man seeks to know God, but he is not her guardian or ruler.

The other world is a redeveloped, separate world, there are travels, the poet is constantly looking for similarities to the earth. It is fictional, therefore, M. Glovinsky calls it “represented”. B. Leśmian’s poetic world is sensational and the perception and understanding of his world is through our senses.

The dream in poetry of Bolesław Leśmian is not only a leading motive but also an element of the composition and often acts as the theme of the poem. To represent his metaphysical world, Bolesław Leśmian uses the technique of installation, introduces new words, oxymorons and other artistic techniques characteristic of the epoch of modernism.

According to metaphysics, the highest value is earthly existence, and vice versa: the impossibility of being, the inability to become bodily, which feels thinking, is the fundamental source of all suffering. Bolesław Leśmian seems to open the opposite world to us, the unceasing motion of that which does not exist, unmanaged in the side of existence, and realizes the painfulness of the unassembled form of existence, which is as strong as the suffering of the body.
The assessment and management of pain in children with Guillain-Barré Syndrome in a sub-Saharan setting.
Authors: Hutton Hayley , Wilmshurst Jo
Published: December 2019

Introduction: Neuropathic pain is challenging to manage in children compounded by inappropriate assessment tools.  The lack of evidence-based pain control guidelines for children results in clinicians deferring to expert opinion and personal preference. Children with Guillain-Barré Syndrome are particularly at risk is of neuropathic pain.Objectives and Methods: This is a retrospective study of children with Guillain-Barré Syndrome who were admitted to Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa over a 10 year period. The study reviewed their pain assessment and management practice.Results: Eighty-four children were identified with Guillain-Barré Syndrome.  76% had symptoms of pain and 53% had breakthrough pain reported.  Standardised pain rating scales were used in 3 patients.  A mean of 2.7 analgesics were used per patient. Carbamazepine and gabapentin, were utilised in 27 and 20 patients respectively.  The use of gabapentin increased 73% per annum from 2009.  There was no statistical difference between these two groups for length of hospital stay or long-term disability.Conclusion: This study identified a significant gap in the assessment of pain in children with Guillain-Barré Syndrome.  Tools to adequately assess pain are needed, especially in immobile and non-verbal children.  Management of pain revealed a high use of adjuvant drugs. The dramatic increase in the use of gabapentin related to clinician preference and was not supported by any evidence.  Clinical outcomes for both the carbamazepine and the gabapentin group were no different.
