Retrato do género humano como bebé
Authors: Ribeiro de Sousa Meneses Pedro Manuel
Published: September 2020

Neste artigo, elabora-se uma leitura de um conto de Clarice Lispector, “Menino a bico de pena”. Essa leitura atravessará outros contos e romances da autora, para elucidação de alguns temas e leitmotiven recorrentes neste território textual. Demonstra-se como, a partir da observação de um bebé, Clarice Lispector define um posicionamento ético em que a alegria, a criação e o tempo são conceitos significativos. Para além disso, nos seus textos a ideia de alegria ou felicidade não se relaciona com o conjunto de valores humanos dominante, o que instiga uma leitura pós-humanista.
An Empirical Study of Instant Messaging (IM) Behavior Using Theory of Reasoned Action
Authors: Peslak Alan , Ceccucci Wendy , Sendall Patricia
Published: September 2020

Instant messaging (IM) as a form of communication offers unique advantages to traditional email communication centered mostly on its immediacy. Levels of IM use are significantly less than email especially in business organizations. In order to understand IM behavior and encourage its adoption, this manuscript explores IM behavior using the Ajzen & Fishbein (1980) model of human behavior known as Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA). Attitude toward IM and “subjective norm” are positively associated with intention to use instant messaging. The TRA model can be used to predict and understand the usage of instant messaging in the target population.

Authors: Gräfitsch Alexander , Kirchhoff Philipp , Hoffmann Henry , Staerkle Ralph F , Soysal Savas D , Glauser Philippe M
Published: September 2020

Background

Hernia repairs account for millions of general surgical procedures performed each year worldwide, with a notable shift to outpatient settings over the last decades. As technical possibilities such as smartphones, tablets, and different kinds of probes are becoming more and more available, such systems have been evaluated for applications in various clinical settings. However, there have been few studies conducted in the surgical field, especially in general surgery.

Objective

We aimed to assess the feasibility of a tablet-based follow up to monitor activity levels after repair of abdominal wall hernias and to evaluate a possible reduction of adverse events by their earlier recognition.

Methods

Patients scheduled for elective surgical repair of minor abdominal wall hernias (eg, inguinal, umbilical, or trocar hernias) were equipped with a telemonitoring system, including a tablet, pulse oximeter, and actimeter, for a monitoring phase of 7 days before and 30 days after surgery. Descriptive statistical analyses were performed.

Results

We enrolled 16 patients with a mean overall age of 48.75 (SD 16.27) years. Preoperative activity levels were reached on postoperative day 12 with a median of 2242 (IQR 0-4578) steps after plunging on the day of surgery. The median proportion of available activity measurements over the entire study period of 38 days was 69% (IQR 56%-81%). We observed a gradual decrease in the proportion of available data for all parameters during the postoperative course. Six out of ten patients (60%) regained preoperative activity levels within 3 weeks after surgery. Overall, patients rated the usability of the system as relatively easy.

Conclusions

Tablet-based follow up is feasible after surgical repair of minor abdominal wall hernias, with good adherence rates during the first couple of weeks after surgery. Thus, such a system could be a useful tool to supplement or even replace traditional outpatient follow up in selected general surgical patients.

Authors: Yeh Bo-Yan , Liu Geng-Hao , Lee Tzung-Yan , Wong Alice May-Kuen , Chang Hen-Hong , Chen Yu-Sheng
Published: September 2020

Background

Chronic low back pain is a common problem and is associated with high costs, including those related to health care and indirect costs due to absence at work or reduced productivity. Previous studies have demonstrated that acupuncture or electroacupuncture can relieve low back pain. Electronic acupuncture shoes (EAS) are a novel device designed in this study. This device combines the properties of acupuncture and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation for clinical use.

Objective

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of EAS in patients with chronic low back pain.

Methods

In this prospective double-blinded randomized controlled study, the data of 83 patients who experienced chronic low back pain were analyzed. Patients came to our clinic for 20 visits and underwent assessment and treatment. Patients were randomly allocated to receive either EAS plus placebo nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (EAS group, n=42) or sham EAS plus NSAIDs (NSAID group, n=41). The visual analog scale (VAS) score and range of motion were assessed at baseline, before and after each EAS treatment, and 2 weeks after the last treatment. The time for achieving pain remission was recorded. Quality of life was assessed at the 2nd, 14th, and 20th visits.

Results

After 6 weeks of treatment, the treatment success rate in each visit in the EAS group was higher than that in the NSAID group, as revealed by the intention-to-treat (ITT) and per-protocol (PP) analyses, but significant differences were observed only during the 16th visit in the ITT analysis (EAS group: 31/37, 84% and NSAID group: 21/34, 62%; P=.04). The change in the VAS score from baseline in each visit in the EAS group was greater than that in the NSAID group, as revealed by the ITT and PP analyses, and significant differences were observed in the 5th visit and 9th visit in the ITT analysis (P=.048 and P=.048, respectively). Significant differences were observed in the left rotation in the 2nd visit and 4th visit (P=.049 and P=.03, respectively). No significant differences were observed in the VAS score before and after treatment in each visit and in the quality of life in both groups.

Conclusions

EAS might serve as a reliable alternative therapeutic tool for patients with chronic low back pain who are contraindicated for oral NSAIDs.

Background

Patient-facing digital health tools have been promoted to help patients manage concerns related to COVID-19 and to enable remote care and self-care during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has also been suggested that these tools can help further our understanding of the clinical characteristics of this new disease. However, there is limited information on the characteristics and use patterns of these tools in practice.

Objective

The aims of this study are to describe the characteristics of people who use digital health tools to address COVID-19–related concerns; explore their self-reported symptoms and characterize the association of these symptoms with COVID-19; and characterize the recommendations provided by digital health tools.

Methods

This study used data from three digital health tools on the K Health app: a protocol-based COVID-19 self-assessment, an artificial intelligence (AI)–driven symptom checker, and communication with remote physicians. Deidentified data were extracted on the demographic and clinical characteristics of adults seeking COVID-19–related health information between April 8 and June 20, 2020. Analyses included exploring features associated with COVID-19 positivity and features associated with the choice to communicate with a remote physician.

Results

During the period assessed, 71,619 individuals completed the COVID-19 self-assessment, 41,425 also used the AI-driven symptom checker, and 2523 consulted with remote physicians. Individuals who used the COVID-19 self-assessment were predominantly female (51,845/71,619, 72.4%), with a mean age of 34.5 years (SD 13.9). Testing for COVID-19 was reported by 2901 users, of whom 433 (14.9%) reported testing positive. Users who tested positive for COVID-19 were more likely to have reported loss of smell or taste (relative rate [RR] 6.66, 95% CI 5.53-7.94) and other established COVID-19 symptoms as well as ocular symptoms. Users communicating with a remote physician were more likely to have been recommended by the self-assessment to undergo immediate medical evaluation due to the presence of severe symptoms (RR 1.19, 95% CI 1.02-1.32). Most consultations with remote physicians (1940/2523, 76.9%) were resolved without need for referral to an in-person visit or to the emergency department.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that digital health tools can help support remote care and self-management of COVID-19 and that self-reported symptoms from digital interactions can extend our understanding of the symptoms associated with COVID-19.

Published: September 2020

BACKGROUND

The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected the mental health of university students.

OBJECTIVE

This study examined the psychological responses toward COVID-19 among university students from 3 countries—Indonesia, Taiwan, and Thailand.

METHODS

We used a web-based, cross-sectional survey to recruit 1985 university students from 5 public universities (2 in Indonesia, 1 in Thailand, and 1 in Taiwan) via popular social media platforms such as Facebook, LINE, WhatsApp, and broadcast. All students (n=938 in Indonesia, n=734 in Thailand, and n=313 in Taiwan) answered questions concerning their anxiety, suicidal thoughts (or sadness), confidence in pandemic control, risk perception of susceptibility to infection, perceived support, resources for fighting infection, and sources of information in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESULTS

Among the 3 student groups, Thai students had the highest levels of anxiety but the lowest levels of confidence in pandemic control and available resources for fighting COVID-19. Factors associated with higher anxiety differed across countries. Less perceived satisfactory support was associated with more suicidal thoughts among Indonesian students. On the other hand, Taiwanese students were more negatively affected by information gathered from the internet and from medical staff than were Indonesian or Thai students.

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings suggest that health care providers in Thailand may need to pay special attention to Thai university students given that high levels of anxiety were observed in this study population. In addition, health care providers should establish a good support system for university students, as the results of this study indicate a negative association between support and suicidal thoughts.

C-4-hydroxyphenylcalix[4] pyrogalolarene (Pg4OH) is a synthetic chemical compound that shows strong antioxidant activity. It is potential to be developed as UV skin protector. For topical admission, an acute skin irritation test is being prerequisite to be fulfill. This study was conducted to investigate the irritation effect of Pg4OH on the skin. In vivo study by quasi experiment with posttest only design was carried out by employing 3 adult male albino rabbits. The back hair was shaved at 24 h before the treatment. The Pg4OH was smeared on the bare shaved-skin and left naturally within 4 h. The observation began at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure. The erythema and edema scores were measured. Calculation by using primary irritation index (PII) was applied. Calculation was categorized with globally harmonized system (GHS) and international organization for standardization (ISO) parameters. As a result, among three rabbits, only one animal shown erythema and edema with very small size (score: 1), on 3 sites, at 72 h. Both the control site and the sample sites gained same score. Two other rabbits were obtained 0 value at each observation location. According to the PII, the observed data was obtained score 0.0093 (very light or negligible). It can be concluded that the tetracyclic compound of Pg4OH does not irritate the skin.

Cigarette smoke contains toxic substances such as carbon monoxide, lead, cadmium, tar and hydrogen cyanide which can triggeroxidative stress and causeerythrocyte membrane damage and hemoglobin oxidation. In addition, it also contains nicotine which can increase the total cholesterol levels. Black cumin containing thymoquinone has been known for its antioxidant and anticholesterol activities. This study aimed to investigate the effect of black cumin extract on hematological profiles and total cholesterol levels of Wistar rats exposed by cigarette smoke. It was an experimental study with randomized posttest only control group design. Twenty Wistar rats (Rattus norvegicus) that divided into four groups were used in this study.The normal control group (N) was provided with standard feed,the negative control group (C) was exposed to the cigarette smoke with two pieces of cigarettes/day for 14 days, the treated groups were given black cumin extract 200mg/kg (T1) and 400mg/kg (T2) and exposed by cigarette smoke two pieces of cigarettes/day for 14 days. On day 15, blood samples from the rats were taken through the sinus orbitalis and then the erythrocyte, the hemoglobin and the total cholesterol levels were examined. Data were analyzed using the one-way ANOVA test and continued by the post-hoc test. The results showed the number of erythrocytes and hemoglobin levels of the T2 group was significantly higher than those of the C group (p<0.05). Although, total cholesterol levels of the T2 group was lower than that of other groups, however it was not significantly different (p>0.05). In conclusion, the administration of black cumin extract at 400mg/kg significantly increases the erythrocytes numbers and the hemoglobin levels in Wistar rats exposed by cigarette smoke.

Published: September 2020

This research has three main goals, namelyto examine the introduction and development of Catholicism, changes to the community after conversion and the retension of the Catholic in Tanah Karo between the years of 1942 until the 1970s. The main problem is to construct the history of the missionary activities in the Batak Karo land and the social dynamics that resulted from these activities. The period in question is one that saw the conversion of the people in Tanah Karo to Catholicism. The year of 1942 represented a crisis to the missionary activities under the Japanese occupation and the forced honouring of the Japanese sun God. Since the 1950s until 1970s, the spread and number of Catholics in the area has expanded rapidly. The result of the research is that Catholicism has been successful in spreading their faith in Tanah Karo, especially in the area of Kabanjahe. This success was the result of several factors. First, the mission was able to mingle and adapt to Karo Batak society. Second, the founding of mission schools was based on the Catholic faith.

After the rise of nationalist movement, the Indonesian Communist Party (PKI) was one of the disciplined organizations in Indonesia. PKI has become the primary example in understanding how organized movements transformed after Indonesia’s independence. Ruth McVey’s assessment that the PKI as being the most organized organization is not excessive. When the PKI was revamped in the early 1950, it conducted political education through translation and publication work. In various cities they conducted research in order to understand the social contexts to determine the party’s political programs. In various cities they did research that had a purpose to understand the social context in order to determine the party’s political program, including one of the important areas was Jakarta. Politic contestation in Jakarta was not always interpreted with the struggle for mastery hegemonic discourse. Although in the period of 1950-1965 the discourse struggle was involved the three big powers, nationalists, Islamist and communists. This idea was just organized by chief of these organizations that was located in Jakarta. In addition, Jakarta has major problems in meeting the everyday needs of its population. Thus, the existence of PKI in Jakarta does not always play practical issues, but also advocated populist issues as well.

Published: September 2020

This study discusses the history of the Indonesian city from the perspective of the pedicab peddlers from the 1950s to the 1970s. The role of the pedicab peddlers was central in transporting people and goods in the cities. The stagnation of public transportation, which had started since the Japanese occupation, had worsened in the postcolonial period. The failure to find a substitute for public transport resulted in its replacement with human labor, in the form of the pedicab. The article argues that the centrality of the pedicab during the early decades of independence means that to understand how urban spaces were experienced required an understanding of their function for these urban spaces. Their role need to be given voice to the narrative of the city. Pedicabs worked in tehe urban streets and are integral to the functioning of the street. The article wants to explore the writing of the history of the city, in which human power plays  a central role. In depth the purpose of this kind of writing will open our eyes to our understanding of how the city works at the street level.

Published: September 2020

The Cetho people who live on the slopes of Mount Lawu Karanganyar, have images and cultural narratives. Historical social reality is represented through temple artifacts, house architecture, community service activities, social gathering, etc. This article is a description of the imagination and cultural narratives of the people in the form of oral and written. The results of the culture are packaged in the form of historiography. This article uses qualitative research methods with a cultural history approach. Research, observation and assistance have been carried out since 2011 to 2017. Literacy culture has not been implemented based on standard needs. Therefore, historiographic production is still minimal. The Cetho temple community creates more oral culture. The cultural literacy movement launched by the Ministry of Education and Culture in 2017 has not been fully appreciated. Academics hold a “Live in” program to improve literacy culture. Students write historiography during the “Live in” program in the Cetho temple area. Collaboration and synergy between the community, schools, local government officials, and academics is useful to open opportunities for local cultural literacy education in the national interest.

The paper discusses the major reasons for the drop in food production in Java during the period of Japanese occupation. Statistics on the acreage and production of six main foodstuff during the year 1940-1946 showed significant reduction of food production in Java after 1942. This reduction is explained as the result of several physical limitation to the production and marketing process of foodstuff. The article explicate several other factors that added to the principal reason for the fall in food production after 1942. The principal reason is laid on the control system of the Javanese rice economy that had reduced the real purchasing price of grain. This resulted in little incentive for peasants to pursue surplus production outside of their household subsistence needs. The only incentive was a negative incentive of forced deliveries.
Perempuan−Perempuan di Industri Gula Surakarta Abad XIX−XX
Authors: Dewi Pratika Rizki
Published: September 2020

The role of adult women in Javanese society had closely been associated by public view to domestic affairs. Yet, this view slightly changed in the late nineteenth century. Adult women played a crucial economic role in the job market of the sugar industry in the Surakarta Regency in Central Java, which reached its peak at the turn of the twentieth century. This article shows that many adult women in Surakarta were involved in the blooming sugar industry in Surakarta between 1890s and 1930s because of economic necessity: they served as breadwinners to their families. These women participated either directly by becoming blue collar workers at the sugar industry, or indirectly by selling daily goods taking advantage of the small market thus created by the blossoming of the sugar factory. However, the 1929 Great Depression devastated this business and left the women workers jobless and in poverty. As a result, many of them returned fully the domestic role.
Denying, Qualifying, or Diverting with “meishier” in Open-Class Repair in Mandarin Chinese Talk
Authors: HAO Quanxi
Published: September 2020

When engaging in a conversation, interact ants frequently encounter problems of hearing, speaking and understanding. Under such circumstances repair is usually resorted to ensure the progressivity of the talk. With the methodology of Conversation Analysis, one specific repair procedure has been investigated in this paper which is open-class repair initiated by the recipient with “huh?” or “what?” followed by the speaker denying the existence of the previous action, qualifying or diverting the previous action in the trouble source turn (the turn with the problem) with “meishier”. And in these three situations “meishier” can be probably translated respectively into “nothing”, “nothing serious” and “I’m ok”. Therefore, this research would provide a profound knowledge about the actions conducted by “meishier” as well as a specific guidance to the translation of “meishier” into English.

Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia (PCP) is one of the most frequentopportunistic infections in immunocompromised patients. The objective of thisstudy was to know the P. jirovecii epidemiology in Venezuelan patients with HumanImmunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection and suspected pneumonia, through passivesurveillance at a national reference laboratory during six years. Laboratory recordsof patients with HIV infection, who were hospitalized with acute lower respiratorytract infection (ALRTI), and presumptive clinical diagnosis of PCP, were reviewedbetween January 2007 and December 2012, at the Mycology Department of theInstituto Nacional de Higiene Rafael Rangel. Several respiratory specimens werereceived and the direct immunofluorescence assay (DIF) and nested polymerasechain reaction (nPCR) diagnostic techniques were used. One hundred and sixty-onerespiratory samples were processed and P. jirovecii was detected in 76 samples byDIF and in 20 by nPCR. PCP’s frequency in Venezuelan patients with HIV is high andit has been sustained throughout time. Colonization by P. jirovecii has uncertainclinical significance, but this study provides evidence that the state of advancedimmunosuppression increases the probability of colonization. DIF and nPCR arevery useful techniques for PCP diagnosis, but are of limited access in many hospitalcenters, especially in developing countries. We recommend the use of DIF with spontaneoussputum specimens as the first diagnostic line for PCP in patients with HIVinfection. The results obtained by nPCR should be interpreted with caution, takinginto account the patient’s clinical symptoms.

Published: September 2020

Minor ischemic stroke is the most frequent presentation of cerebral vascular disease and treatment with antiplatelet drugs can be used for the prevention of its recurrence. This systematic review and meta-analysis was aimed to assess non-inferiority criteria about the effect in the comparison of different antiplatelet schemes using aspirin as active control. Twelve randomized studies with a total of 52204 patients were chosen. All met the inclusion criteria with minor recurrent ischemic stroke as end point and any extracranial bleeding as safety event. The results showed a significant risk reduction of 22% [RR (95% CI) = 0.78 (0.72-0.84), p<0.0001, NNT: 67] in the recurrence of ischemic events with any antiplatelet drug (combined or not with aspirin) versus aspirin alone and there were no differences in the bleeding risk [RR (95% CI) = 1.02 (0.74- 1.41), p= 0.899, NNH: 500]. Dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) and cilostazol were more effective compared with aspirin alone (22% and 32% risk reduction respectively) but only cilostazol showed a higher reduction (52%) of bleeding events. In conclusion, although in some instances equivalence was demonstrated, a clinical superiority in the risk reduction for recurrent ischemic stroke of any antiplatelet treatment versus aspirin alone was observed. With the sole exception of the cilostazol trials there was an increase of the bleeding risk when the antiplatelet drugs treatments were compared with aspirin alone.

Experimental Ethnography: Performativity, Movement, Mediation
Authors: Tragaki Dafni
Published: September 2020

The article discusses the ways the method of videowalk is learned in the context of the seminar “Anthropology of the Senses” with a special emphasis on sound studies and how it is theoretically introduced as a performative, intersensorial and embodied ethnographic practice. It explores the potentialities offered by the recent convergences between anthropology and contemporary artistic (audiovisual) production inspired by the “ethnographic turn” in experimental representations of the urban public space. Videowalk is used as a method inviting students to produce cultural knowledge by questioning conventional logocentric (reading and writing) pedagogies and to experiment with reflexive, improvisational, emplaced and affective mediations of urban life and its changing everydayness. It is a method concerned with the intersections of theoretical knowledge with knowing-in-action , a method privileging the synaesthetic authoring of the public space, its meshworked trajectories and stories.
