Authors: Siregar Sri Hilma , Prasetya P. , Ramadhanti Aulia Rizki , Putra Rian , Zahidah Siti
Published: March 2022

The manufacture of edible film from chicken bone gelatin incorporated with starch is essential for Indonesia, where most Muslims are. This is related to Shari’a law which requires Muslims to consume only halal food. Gelatin made from chicken bones is guaranteed to be halal. This study aimed to determine the process of extracting chicken bone waste with acid solvents, making the edible film, and the characterization of chicken bone edible film. This research started with extracting gelatin from chicken bone waste. The 5 g of extracted chicken bones were mixed with 40% w/v glycerol, starch (0, 5, 10, 15% w/v), and distilled water, then heated at 50°C. The mixture was printed in a petri dish (15 cm in diameter) and dried for 24 hours. The edible films were evaluated for physicochemical and mechanical properties, such as tensile strength, elongation, thickness, water resistance, WVTR, and degradation test. Edible film characterization used FTIR, SEM, XRD, and TGA. The optimum condition of the extraction procedure was obtained by using 5% HCl, which produces 8.22172% yield of gelatin with pH of 6.0, water content of 8%, and ash content of 0.945%. In the thickness test, the more significant the starch concentration added, the greater the thickness of the edible film produced. The edible film exhibited a decrease in tensile strength and an increase in elongation along with increasing starch concentration. The results of the WVTR test were only starch concentrations of 0 and 15% that meet the standards, while all concentrations in the water resistance did. The results of FTIR chicken bones with variations in starch and the addition of glycerol as a plasticizer have functional groups N-H, O-H, C-O, C=O, C-H, C-N. Edible films without the addition of starch were utterly degraded within 30 days.

Authors: HOU Yongmei , Jiangmin Zheng
Published: March 2022

Objective To explore the present status of adolescents' values and problem behavior, and to analyze the impact of values on adolescents' problem behavior. Methods A stratified random sampling was used to select 893 adolescents. They were investigated with the Chinese Adolescent Values Questionnaire (CAVQ) and the 2001-Chinese-Version of Youth Self-Report and Profile (YSＲP-2001-CV). Results ⑴ The scores of the two dimensions of fashion trend and enjoyment of happiness of CAVQ were greater than 2.5 and less than 3.5, belonging to the middle level. The scores of the other six dimensions of CAVQ were greater than 3.5, belonging to high scores. ⑵ The scores of the two factors of YSＲP-2001-CV were less than 1.5, which belong to low scores. ⑶ Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis showed that the scores of social equality and fashion trend positively predicted the total score of YSＲP-2001-CV (β=.297, .318, all P <.001). The scores of collective orientation, discipline compliance, family affection, peer friendship and surpassing and enterprising negatively predicted the total score of YSＲP-2001-CV (β=-.237 to -.408, all P <.001). Conclusion teenagers' values have not been established, and their problem behavior is obvious. Values may be an important influencing factor of teenagers' problem behavior.

Trauma, pamięć, dziedziczenie. Czeska recepcja powieści »Peníze od Hitlera« Radki Denemarkowej
Authors: Gemziak Łukasz
Published: March 2022

Celem prezentowanego artykułu jest analiza czeskiej recepcji utworu Radki Denemarkovej pt. Pieniądze od Hitlera. Druga w karierze powieść czeskiej pisarki nie tylko wzbudziła duże zainteresowanie czytelników, lecz wywołała również dyskusję na temat zagadnień istotnych z punktu widzenia czeskiej tożsamości. Recenzje i opinie czeskich autorów dotyczące powieści skupiły się na pamięci o powojennej wysiedleniu Niemców sudeckich, wpływie komunizmu na współczesną pamięć przed- i powojennej historii Czechosłowacji oraz na mentalność czeską. Zainteresowanie wzbudziła także literacka wartość powieści. W tym przypadku ocena utworu Denemarkowej nie była jednoznaczna. Autor niniejszego artykułu zwraca także uwagę, że dyskusja wokół Pieniędzy od Hitlera może być traktowana jako część publicznej debaty o źródłach współczesnej czeskiej pamięci zbiorowej.

Published: March 2022

Objective Studies of taste perceptions in Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients have been controversial, and none of these studies have assessed umami taste. This study aimed to assess umami, along with the other 4 taste functions in PD patients.Methods Participants were tested for gustation using the modified filter paper disc method and olfaction using the modified Sniffin’ Stick-16 (mSS-16) test (only 14 culturally suitable items were used). A questionnaire evaluated patients’ subjective olfactory and gustatory dysfunction, taste preference, appetite, and food habits.Results A total of 105 PD patients and 101 age- and sex-matched controls were included. The body mass index (BMI) of PD patients was lower than that of controls (PD = 22.62, controls = 23.86, p = 0.028). The mSS-16 score was 10.7 for controls and 6.4 for PD patients (p < 0.001) (normal ≥ 9). Taste recognition thresholds (RTs) for sweet, salty, sour, bitter and umami tastes were significantly higher in PD, indicating poorer gustation. All taste RTs correlated with each other, except for umami. Most patients were unaware of their dysfunction. Patients preferred sweet, salty and umami tastes more than the controls. Dysgeusia of different tastes in patients was differentially associated with poorer discrimination of tastes, an inability to identify the dish and adding extra seasoning to food. BMI and mSS-16 scores showed no correlation in either patients or controls.Conclusion PD patients have dysgeusia for all five tastes, including umami, which affects their appetite and diet. Patients preferred sweet, salty and umami tastes. This information can help adjust patients’ diets to improve their nutritional status.

Published: March 2022

There are several problems facing the construction industry in Iraq. Delays in construction projects affect one of the most important factors in project success, namely time. This delay causes many problems such as increasing the cost of the project, lack of timely operation, and on a larger scale, economic and social impact on the country. As being one of the metropolises of Iraq, the city of Najaf needs a lot of development projects in the development path. Public school construction projects are an example of projects needed in the city, and delays in these projects in recent years have sometimes caused the city’s schools to operate on a mixed basis. This study deals with studies and researches related to the delay of construction projects in other countries, and after interviews and surveys of construction industry stakeholders in Iraq, new factors have been obtained and finally, using the opinions of the mentioned experts, prioritizing the factors extracted from both identified the source and the five main causes of project delays, including late payment to the contractor, design errors, construction length errors, problems with neighbors, and inexperience of contractors. In the next step, the amount of delay due to the main factors identified in the projects was analyzed using the official documents of 30 sample projects from the statistical population of completed school construction projects in Najaf city. Statistics on the amount of delay caused by factors and comparing it with some indicators, the need to use contractors with better ratings, skilled manpower, experienced project managers, and the number of sufficient engineers at the project site were presented.
Comparison of the modified polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography methods in determining LDL size

Published: March 2022

Objectives

In this study, we aimed to compare modified Krauss polyacrylamide gradient gel electrophoresis (PAGGE) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods in classification, quantification, and separation of lipoproteins and determining low-density lipoprotein (LDL) size.

Methods

Blood specimens were obtained from eighty-seven volunteers. We measured LDL size using the PAGGE method and HPLC method with total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) peaks. In the PAGGE method, Coomassie Brilliant Blue (CBB) staining was used instead of Sudan black staining, unlike the original method. The relationship between PAGGE and HPLC methods was evaluated by Pearson correlation test and Passing-Bablok regression analysis. Agreement between them was evaluated by Kappa analysis and Bland-Altman plots.

Results

Statistically significant correlation was found between the LDL size with PAGGE and HPLC methods under the cholesterol curve (HPLC-TC) (r=0.924, p<0.001). Similarly, there was a statistically significant correlation between PAGGE and HPLC methods under the TG curve (HPLC-TG) (r=0.910, p<0.001). In the PAGGE method, within-day precision was found as 2% and between-day precision as 3%. It was determined agreement between HPLC-TC vs. HPLC-TG methods and HPLC-TG vs. PAGGE methods was higher than HPLC-TC vs. PAGGE (Kappa values; 0.68, 0.71, and 0.44, respectively).

Conclusions

The PAGGE method can be a reliable method for measuring LDL size. HPLC method under cholesterol and triglyceride peaks may be used in clinical practice interchangeably, but clinical decision limits should be different. In addition, our study demonstrated that measurement methods for LDL size could be simplified with several modifications.
La celtisation de la péninsule Ibérique à la lumière de la toponymie et de laCeltic from the West hypothesis
Authors: Timmermann Jörg
Published: March 2022

The central aim of this paper is to trace back the celtization of the Iberian Peninsula, mainly on the basis of toponymic evidence. On this basis, there is evidence for two waves of celtization. As we shall see, the manifestation of Celtic in the south-western part of the peninsula is more consistent with theCeltic from the West hypothesisthan with the traditional viewpoint that the Celts came exclusively from Central Europe. In this connection, special attention is paid to the putative celticity both of the Tartessian language and of the suffix -essos. Likewise, Renfrew’s hypothesis that Indo-European originated in Asia Minor is in full harmony with the apparent origin of -essosin Asia Minor.

Nyersanyagból történetek. Spanyol polgárháborús sajtóillusztrációk a harmincas évek Magyarországán
Authors: Fisli Éva
Published: March 2022

A sajtófotók transznacionális terjedésének mikéntjét vizsgálva nem csupán a vizuális nyersanyagok terjesztését, hanem a képügynökségek átpolitizálódását is nyomon követhetjük; utóbbiak egyszerre alkottak nemzetközi kereskedelmi hálózatot és voltak maguk is, az 1920-as évek végétől kezdve világszerte, – különféle módon és mértékben – alakítói az általuk kiszolgált társadalmak sajtójának és közvéleményének. A sajtófotó egyfelől tehát sajtóillusztrációként vizsgálható; a különféle újságokban megjelent oldalakon a kép és szöveg viszonya sokat elárul a képek felhasználásának és a politikai hangsúlyok alakításának módjairól. Másfelől a már megszűnt képes magazinok fennmaradt archívumaiban – így a Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum Történeti Fényképtárában, az általam kezelt nemzetközi gyűjteményben – maguk a szerkesztéshez használt press printek is fellelhetők: rajtuk keresztül követhetővé válik a munkafolyamat, amely során a papír pozitívok többnyire retusálva, megvágva, átszövegezve kerültek a nyilvánosság elé. Írásomban a felhasznált fotók – negatívok és sajtóillusztrációk közötti – köztes helyzete, a verziókon hordozott, megfejthető jelek és nyomok, múzeumi használatra szánt későbbi reprodukcióik, végsősoron az őket válogató, alakító (szerkesztői) és megőrző (archiváló) gyakorlat érdekel.  Legfőképpen pedig az, mihez kezdhet a fényképekkel ma a történetírás.

Identitás – fotó – dizájn
Authors: Fogarasi Klára
Published: March 2022

A személyes identitás kifejezésére a fényképezés műfajaiban sok lehetőség kínálkozik (a hivatásos fényképészek portréitól napjaink selfijéig). Teljesen más jellegű, összetettebb tartalmi és formai elemeket ötvöző képi műfaj a tablókép: ahol festői, grafikai eszközök, szövegek környezetében jelennek meg a portrék. De a létrehozás módjában is más a tabló: tudatos tervezéssel, nem hirtelen ötlettől vezérelve készül. Igazi jelentősége azonban a közösségi identitás képi kifejezésében, illetve ennek egyedi megformálásában rejlik.  

Identitásunk formálódásának fontos állomása a diákévek befejezése, a felnőttkor kezdete. Rituális események sora kíséri (ballagás, érettségi vizsgák, felvételi: szigorú figyelmet igénylő megmérettetések; komoly, vidám, tréfás történések).  

A 21. században a naponta bővülő technikai lehetőségek közepette minden eseményről pillanatképek milliói készülhetnek, a tablókép-készítés szokása mégis él és virul, melyekre tízezrek szavaznak a facebook versenyeken. A tablókép akár az utolsó pillanatait élő közösségi összetartozás vizuális dokumentuma, akár egyéni kreativitás, vagy üzleti vállalkozás terméke; formailag akár egyedi és sokszorosított, tárgyi mivoltában létező vagy virtuális jelenség, célját tekintve többfunkciós tárgy, mert közszemlére kerül. Ellátja az adott intézmény képviseletét a szélesebb nyilvánosság előtt az utcai kirakatokban egy adott időszakban; majd képviseli a távozókat később az iskola falain a helyi kisközösségben az iskola fennállásáig; és képviseli az osztály egészét önmaguk előtt a privát képhasználatban.   

Rituális tárgy a tablókép, emlék-jel: a közösségi és privát képanyag fontos része, mely jelentős átalakuláson megy át napjainkban is a digitális kor lehetőségeit követve. A sokszor meghökkentő látványosságra törekvő tablók ma már nem csupán egy lokális vagy szakmai identitás vizuális kifejezését tartják fontosnak, egyre gyakrabban jelennek meg például a planetáris tudatra utaló képi elemek és utalások.

SPERM FACTORS AND EGG ACTIVATION: Phospholipase C zeta (PLCZ1) and the clinical diagnosis of oocyte activation deficiency
Authors: Jones C , Meng X , Coward K
Published: March 2022

Oocyte activation deficiency (OAD) remains the predominant cause of total/low fertilization rate in assisted reproductive technology. Phospholipase C zeta (PLCZ1) is the dominant sperm-specific factor responsible for triggering oocyte activation in mammals. OAD has been linked to numerous PLCZ1 abnormalities in patients experiencing failed in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles. While significant efforts have enhanced our understanding of the clinical relevance of PLCZ1, and the potential effects of genetic variants upon functionality, our ability to apply PLCZ1 in a diagnostic or therapeutic role remains limited. Artificial oocyte activation is the only option for patients experiencing OAD but lacks a reliable diagnostic approach. Immunofluorescence analysis has revealed that the levels and localization patterns of PLCZ1 within sperm can help us to indirectly diagnose a patient’s ability to induce oocyte activation. Screening of the gene encoding PLCZ1 protein is also critical if we are to fully determine the extent to which genetic factors might play a role in the aberrant expression and/or localization patterns observed in infertile patients. Collectively, these findings highlight the clinical potential of PLCZ1, both as a prognostic indicator of OAD and eventually as a therapeutic agent. In this review, we focus on our understanding of the association between OAD and PLCZ1 by discussing the localization and expression of this key protein in human sperm, the potential genetic causes of OAD, and the diagnostic tools that are currently available to us to identify PLCZ1 deficiency and select patients that would benefit from targeted therapy.

Published: March 2022

El presente estudio tiene por objetivo comparar la demanda física y fisiológica en jóvenes jugadores de fútbol en juegos oficiales y juegos reducidos. Participaron 17 jugadores (16,0 ± 0,2 años de edad) siendo evaluados en siete juegos reducidos (3X3+porteros) y dos partidos oficiales. En los juegos reducidos, en 71,9% del tiempo se trabajó al 90% de la FC máx., versus el 44,4% en los juegos oficiales. La FC máx. fue mayor (p <0,01) en la situación oficial del juego y la media de FC no difirió significativamente (p ?0,05). El número de sprints y la distancia recorrida fueron mayores en los juegos reducidos (p <0,01). Durante ambas situaciones de juego, los jugadores tienen respuestas físicas y fisiológicas intensas. Sin embargo, el modelo 3X3+porteros exige más esfuerzos de alta intensidad y mayores cargas externas por minuto jugado que los juegos oficiales.

OBJECTIVE

To determine whether empirical antibiotic initiation and selection for children with pneumonia was associated with procalcitonin (PCT) levels when results were blinded to clinicians.

METHODS

We enrolled children <18 years with radiographically confirmed pneumonia at 2 children’s hospitals from 2014 to 2019. Blood for PCT was collected at enrollment (blinded to clinicians). We modeled associations between PCT and (1) antibiotic initiation and (2) antibiotic selection (narrow versus broad-spectrum) using multivariable logistic regression models. To quantify potential stewardship opportunities, we calculated proportions of noncritically ill children receiving antibiotics who also had a low likelihood of bacterial etiology (PCT <0.25 ng/mL) and those receiving broad-spectrum therapy, regardless of PCT level.

RESULTS

We enrolled 488 children (median PCT, 0.37 ng/mL; interquartile range [IQR], 0.11–2.38); 85 (17%) received no antibiotics (median PCT, 0.32; IQR, 0.09–1.33). Among the 403 children receiving antibiotics, 95 (24%) received narrow-spectrum therapy (median PCT, 0.24; IQR, 0.08–2.52) and 308 (76%) received broad-spectrum (median PCT, 0.46; IQR, 0.12–2.83). In adjusted analyses, PCT values were not associated with antibiotic initiation (odds ratio [OR], 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.97%–1.06%) or empirical antibiotic selection (OR 1.07; 95% CI, 0.97%–1.17%). Of those with noncritical illness, 246 (69%) were identified as potential targets for antibiotic stewardship interventions.

CONCLUSION

Neither antibiotic initiation nor empirical antibiotic selection were associated with PCT values. Whereas other factors may inform antibiotic treatment decisions, the observed discordance between objective likelihood of bacterial etiology and antibiotic use suggests important opportunities for stewardship.

Purpose: Physical exercising is a reliable method to improve clinical symptoms, the quality of life and depressive symptoms in people with schizophrenia. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of yoga on the quality of life, fatigue and dynamic balance in people with schizophrenia.Methods: Thirty-two outpatient individuals aged 18-65 years, diagnosed with schizophrenia by psychiatrist were included in the study. The individuals were randomly divided into two groups: yoga and control groups. Yoga was applied to the yoga group two times a week for a total of 12 weeks by a physiotherapist trained and experienced in yoga. The individuals were evaluated by researcher who does not know which group the participants are from at beginning and the end of 12 weeks. The fatigue severity was evaluated with the Fatigue Severity Scale, the quality of life was evaluated with the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale-BREF Turkish version, balance and functional mobility were evaluated with the Timed up and Go Test.Results: The mean ages of yoga and control groups were as 38.11±12.46 and 41.53±11.44 years respectively. As result of statistical analysis, there was a difference in the physical health parameter of the quality of life between the groups before and after treatment (p<0.05). When the groups were compared within themselves, a significant positive change was observed in the yoga group in terms of balance values (p<0.05).Conclusion: It was determined that yoga improved dynamic balance in people with schizophrenia, and increased their physical health, which is a sub-parameter of life quality.

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, yaşlılarda beden kütle indeksinin (BKİ) denge ve yürüme özelliklerini ne yönde etkilediğinin
araştırılmasıydı.
Yöntem: Yüz beş geriatrik birey BKİ’ye göre üç gruba ayrıldı: Normal (18,5<BKİ<24,9, n=30), pre-obez (25,0<BKİ<29,9, n=47), obez (30<BKİ, n=28). Denge ile ilgili değişkenlerin (statik denge, dinamik denge, duyusal etkileşimli denge)
ölçümünde Biodex Denge Sistemi kullanıldı. Yürüme hızı 4m yürüme testi ile ölçüldü, adım uzunluğu ve tempo hesaplandı.
Gruplar arası farkların analizi için Kruskal-Wallis testi kullanıldı (p<0,05).Bulgular: Gruplar arasında postüral stabilite indeksi, anteroposterior (AP) indeksi, mediolateral (ML) indeksi, gözler açık sert
zemin (GASZ) denge ve gözler kapalı sert zemin (GKSZ) denge açısından anlamlı farklar olduğu görüldü (p<0,05). Post-hoc
analiz sonuçlarına göre pre-obezlerin postüral stabilite indeksi, AP indeksi, ML indeksi ve GASZ dengesi BKİ normal olanlara
göre anlamlı olarak daha kötüydü (sırasıyla; p=0,008, p=0,014, p=0,005, p<0,001). Obezlerin GKSZ dengesi hem BKİ normal
olanlara hem de pre-obezlere göre anlamlı olarak daha kötü iken (sırasıyla; p<0,001, p=0,005), GASZ dengesi de BKİ normal
olanlara göre daha kötüydü (p=0,001). Ayrıca obezlerin adım uzunluğu pre-obezlere göre anlamlı olarak daha kısaydı
(p=0,008).
Sonuç: Yüksek beden kütle indeksine sahip yaşlıların statik dengelerinin daha kötü ve obez yaşlıların adım uzunluklarının daha
kısa olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlar yaşlıların denge ve yürüme özelliklerini, sahip oldukları BKİ’ye göre tahmin etmeye
yardımcı olabilir.

Myroides spp. are opportunistic environmental Gram-negative bacteria. These affect mostly immunocompromised hosts and generally lead to soft tissue, and urinary tract infections. Bacteremia most commonly develop secondary to soft tissue or catheter related infections and may lead rarely to mortality. Myroides spp. are generally suscetible to fluoroquinolones, piperacillin/tazobactam, trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, carbapenems or tetracyclines however, pan-resistant isolates and multiple resistance genes have been reported in clinical isolates of Myroides spp. We report a pan-resistant Myroides odoratimimus bacteremia in a patient with severe COVID-19 ending with fatality and in this context a review of reported Myroides bacteremias are also described.

In this study, a 64-year old male patient with history of coronary artery bypass was admitted to ICU with severe COVID-19 pneumonia accompanied by pneumomediastinum and pneumopericardium. Continous renal replacement therapy and extracorporeal membraneous-oxygenation were initiated due to acute renal failure and persistent hypercarbia/hypoxia, respectively. Within four weeks of hospitalization various episodes of bacteremia developed and multiple antibiotics were used. On the 5th week of follow-up, acute phase reactants increased and empirical broad spectrum antibiotics were initiated. Blood culture revealed Gram-negative rods. The patient became hypotensive and despite maximum medical care he was lost due to cardiac arrest. M. odoratimimus was identified by MALDI-TOF and the bacterium was pan-resistant. According to Center for Genomic Epidemiology results the strain was identified as M. odoratimimus PR63039 and the genome analysis revealed antibiotic resistance genes associated with resistance to beta-lactams (bla

Published: March 2022

Introdução: A coccidioidomicose é uma infecção fúngica adquirida pela inalação. Apesar de grande parcela ser assintomática, se manifesta principalmente como infecção respiratória. Objetivo: Identificar os aspectos epidemiológicos, clínicos, diagnósticos e de tratamento da Coccidioidomicose através de uma revisão sistemática entre os anos de 2015 e 2020.Materiais e métodos: Foi realizado uma revisão sistemática e integrativa no PubMed e SciELO. Na pesquisa avançada foram utilizados os termos “Coccidioidomicose” e “Coccidioides”. Os artigos foram lidos e compilados em tabelas de acordo com as variáveis definidas.Resultados: No PubMed foram encontrados 1.611 artigos, após aplicação dos critérios de inclusão foram elegidos 72 artigos desta plataforma. Destes, após leitura do título e resumo, foram excluídos 55, restando assim 17 artigos para leitura completa. Na base de dados SciELO foram obtidos 04 resultados, sendo excluído 3 artigos. Diante dos resultados obtidos, foram elegidos 18 artigos para compilação da revisão de literatura.Conclusão: O nordeste brasileiro é uma região endêmica dessa micose devido a presença de solos semiáridos. Existe um subdiagnóstico pela falta de conhecimento da doença, assim como métodos ineficazes de detecção. O tratamento da fase aguda costuma ser hospitalar com anfotericina B, itraconazol e fluconazol.

Objetivo: Analisar os atendimentos antirrábicos humanos de profilaxia pós-exposição no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo descritivo dos atendimentos antirrábicos humanos de profilaxia pós-exposição notificados no Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação no Brasil, de 2014 a 2019. Resultados: Foram notificados 4.033.098 atendimentos antirrábicos, com média de 672.183 ao ano. Houve maior percentual de atendimentos em pessoas do sexo masculino (n=2.111.369; 52,4%), menores de 19 anos de idade (n=1.423.433; 35,3%), residentes em área urbana (n=3.386.589; 88,1%), agredidas por cães (n=3.281.190; 81,5%) e com mordeduras (n=3.575.717; 81,9%), principalmente em mãos e pés (n=1.541.201; 35,3%). A conduta profilática mais frequente foi observação e vacina (n=1.736.036; 44,2%). A conduta profilática foi adequada em 57,8% (n=2.169.689) e inadequada em 42,2% (n=1.582.411) dos casos. Conclusão: Apesar das condutas profiláticas adequadas, foram observadas indicações inadequadas que, quando insuficientes, podem acarretar casos de raiva humana e, quando desnecessárias, desperdícios, inclusive desabastecimento de imunobiológicos.
Feminismo de rede: a militância on e off-line de três jovens professoras
Authors: Dorotéio Patrícia Karla Soares Santos , Favacho André Márcio Picanço
Published: March 2022

O artigo perscruta práticas de militâncias de três jovens professoras, atuantes em múltiplas pautas e que fazem uso das redes sociais como lócus de resistência. Os dados foram obtidos em uma netnografia realizada na rede social Facebook dessas professoras, seguida por entrevista. Propusemos um estudo ético-político, fundamentado no conceito de ética em Michel Foucault. Consideramos que as professoras reconhecem a obrigação moral de lutar e defender, respondendo a um tipo específico de feminismo, um feminismo de rede, que se dá a partir das alianças com as demais lutas. As professoras parecem tensionar a escola e o currículo escolar com temas e pautas de luta e de militância, o que provoca debates. Além disso, identificamos uma experiência de militância constituída por práticas que apostam na potência transformadora dos pequenos constrangimentos e tensionamentos produzidos nas redes sociais e nos modos de vida, e que estão revelando tentativas de corroer verdades difíceis de serem desestabilizadas.

Coupled effects of stress state and void ratio on thermal conductivity of saturated soils
Authors: Cui S. Q. , Zhou C.
Published: March 2022

Soils surrounding energy geostructures (e.g. energy piles and borehole heat exchangers) always have different overburden pressures and void ratios. Their thermal conductivities are important for analysing the performance of energy geostructures such as the heat exchange rate between soils and geostructures. So far, however, the coupled effects of stress state and void ratio on thermal conductivity have not been fully understood. In this study, six series of tests were conducted to measure the thermal conductivity of three different soils at various stress states and void ratios, including reconstituted kaolin clay, compacted silt from Hong Kong and compacted Toyoura sand. The results indicate that when the stress increases from 0 to 1200 kPa, the thermal conductivity increases by 60% for the clay, 25% for the relatively looser silt, 20% for the relatively denser silt, 10% for the relatively looser sand and 7·5% for the relatively denser sand. The increment is attributed to not only a reduction of the void ratio, but also an enhancement in the inter-particle contact. Based on the experimental results, a new equation for thermal conductivity was proposed. It is able to well capture the variation of thermal conductivity with stress and void ratio using a single set of parameters.
Diverse Discussion in Public Deliberation on Cancer Drug Funding

Published: March 2022

Structured deliberations among members of the public are increasingly viewed as useful inputs to health policy decisions that also rely on scientific evidence and expertise. Such deliberations typically aim for discussions that explore a diversity of ideas and perspectives. However, the concept of a diverse discussion has not been thoroughly examined and methods for measuring the extent to which a discussion actually was diverse are lacking. In this article, we develop a theoretical account of diverse discussion and propose a method for operationalizing it, which we illustrate by means of an analysis of transcripts from public deliberations on cancer drug funding in Canada.
