Working on Digital Platforms
Authors:   Specialist, Santa Úrsula University in Rio de Janeiro-RJ, Brazil, Bogossian Tricia
Published: November 2021

This study aims to discuss work on digital platforms. Therefore, it addresses labor relations in the information society; explains the “new” figures that emerged with parasubordination; and it explains what is conventionally called uberization, emphasizing the uncertainty and instability to which workers are exposed. For the development of this research, as a methodology, we opted for bibliographical research carried out on legislation, doctrines, articles and other academic research that could add knowledge to the subject under analysis, allowing us to conclude that the flexibility observed in work developed on digital platforms almost always implies in precariousness of work relations. There are no guarantees and no right guaranteed to the worker who starts to receive for what he produces, which creates insecurity and discouragement. However, it is believed that this is a trend that is here to stay. Maybe it’s a way to alleviate unemployment, but there is no doubt, in terms of rights, it implies serious setbacks.

First record of Xylocopa valga Gerstaecker, 1872 from the cold and arid conditions of Ladakh in India (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Xylocopini)
Authors: Bin Farook Umer , Yaqoob Munazah , Gani Mudasir , Verheyde Fons
Published: November 2021

The presence of Xylocopa valga is reported for the first time from the high altitudes of Union Territory of Ladakh (more than 3,000 m above sea level), India. Several bees were observed in the area from May 2019 to September 2020, where it is considered to be a pest because of its aptness for making nests in residential and commercial buildings. The species has likely expanded its geographical area due to environmental changes. It is important to disseminate knowledge among Ladakh people about this bee to ensure the preservation of its populations.

Controle social e o paradigma da Administração Pública digital no Brasil
Authors: Cristóvam José Sérgio da Silva , Mezzaroba Orides , Pereira Paulo Ricardo Maroso
Published: November 2021

A adoção de práticas de Governo digital pela Administração Pública brasileira induz a transformação das suas próprias formas de controle. O presente estudo busca discutir a noção de controle social digital da Administração Pública, suas possibilidades e entraves. A abordagem parte da compreensão da noção de Governo digital, já difundida na comunidade internacional, especialmente por recomendações da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), com o posterior debate acerca do influxo dessa transformação por meio dos mecanismos de controle, seja de forma a se adaptar ao governo já digitalizado seja de modo a induzir essa transformação na Administração Pública. Por fim, são analisados os reflexos desses novos instrumentos, sob a perspectiva do controle social, aquele exercido direta ou indiretamente pelos cidadãos. Isso induz à reflexão não apenas acerca das novas possibilidades de controle oferecidas pela tecnologia, como também de novos direitos aos cidadãos, para que não sejam alijados desse processo. O método utilizado é o dedutivo e a técnica de pesquisa a bibliográfica, apoiada na pesquisa documental em fontes primárias e secundárias.

Objective: Evaluate perinatal and neonatal outcomes comparing a water birth to regular childbirth in low-risk women. File and methods: Retrospective analysis of a set of childbirths that took place over a given period of time in the hospital and health center of Havířov. We compared a set of low-risk women that had given a water birth to a selected control group of low-risk women that had given regular childbirth. We evaluated statistical comparability, as well as perinatal and neonatal outcomes in both sets. Results: From 1. 1. 2020 to 28. 2. 2021, 1,083 women gave birth in the delivery department of Havířov hospital; from this set 122 were water births (11.3%). In our study, we only included 101 water deliveries (we designed our study to monitor low-risk births in order to be able to statistically correlate our fi ndings; 21 water deliveries were excluded from our study due to perinatal risk factors – gestational diabetes and induced deliveries). We selected 60 low-risk women for our control group. Both sets of women were compared and we ruled out any statistically signifi cant diff erences in age, education, body mass index, number of births given, gestation week at time of labor, number of smokers, premature rupture of membranes, women with previous history of one cesarean section, becoming pregnant by in vitro fertilization, presence of streptokoka skupiny B, and fetal weight. Water birth does not aff ect the Apgar score, neonatal adaptation to extra-uterine life, umbilical blood pH decrease, complications of infection, need of intensive care, and neonatal mortality. In the water birth set, we found increased occurrence of non-infectious conjunctivitis, treatable by regular eye drops without antibio tics. We have not observed the eff ect of water birth on duration of the fi rst and second stage of labor, total amount of uterotonics used, blood loss determined by the obstetrician, and uterine hypotonia. In the water birth group, we observed a prolonged third stage of delivery, lesser need for pharmacological stimulation (augmentation) of labor, notably lower use of analgesics, lower occurrence of birth injuries, shorter in-patient time, and more frequent bonding. Conclusions: We discovered that water birth does not increase the risk for mother and neonate in low-risk women. Despite initial concerns, our outcomes and mother satisfaction have clearly shown that water births are not only a temporary whim, but probably a new integral part of our obstetric care. Key words: water birth – analgesia with water – childbirth – perinatal and neonatal outcomes
Epidural fever
Authors:   Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and General Hospital in Prague, Hlinecká Kristýna , Bartošová Tereza , Bláha Jan
Published: November 2021

Epidural analgesia (EPA) is the most eff ective method of intrapartum pain relief and is considered to be very safe. Recently, it has been used in up to 34% of parturients with EPA and is also associated with maternal temperature elevations during labor. The mechanism of this epidural-associated fever remains incompletely understood. The most likely etiology seems to be non-infectious infl ammation caused by an epidural catheter. However, some authors deny this association. They theorize it is caused by selection bias only, as EPA is more often required by women with more painful and prolonged or more complicated labor, where temperature elevation is due to other causes. They point out that in some studies, fever was correlated to EPA only with concurrent placental infl ammation. Maternal fever, despite the cause, either infectious or non-infectious origin, carries important clinical and public health implications. Further research that evaluates maternal epidural status and its infl uence on maternal or neonatal fever could improve sepsis evaluation and lead to worldwide decrease of unnecessary antibio tic exposure. Key words: epidural fever – epidural analgesia – thermoregulation

Authors: Stoyke Thomas , Radtke Uwe
Published: November 2021

An impact analysis against the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic on brick-and-mortar retail and consequences for stationary trade, with a focus on Germany. The Covid-19 pandemic has put tremendous pressure on the retail sector. Across the entire breadth of the market, significant declines in sales have already been observed, particularly in the assortments relevant to city centers, as a result of the 1st lockdown in March and April 2020 and the subsequent restrictions (accessibility of stores, masking requirements, spacing, etc.). However, delayed effects as well as the effects of the 2nd lockdown imposed from mid-December 2020 in conjunction with the Christmas and spring business in 2021, which will be cancelled to a large extent for the stationary trade, will further exacerbate the situation in the german economy (stock market). This article sheds light on the current economic starting point, carries out a scientific, but also in particular practice-oriented, literature research of renowned business enterprises, and is intended to offer future trends and action implications from the crisis.
Light Projections: On the Matter of Light and the Lightness of Matter
Authors: Ng Jenna
Published: November 2021

This chapter explicates light projections as the third instantiation of the
post-screen. The chapter’s argument premises on light being the matter
of light, namely, light as transformational in the convertibility between
materiality and immateriality; matter and energy; rigidity and fluidity,
whereby the corporeal is not only rendered impalpable but – its body
energized, vitalized and volatile – turned inside out; consumed; deposed.
The chapter thus argues for the post-screen through contemporary light
projections and projection mapping technologies as the transformation of
a variety of surfaces – the urban (e.g. building façades); the amorphous (e.g.
water droplets and ash); the biological (e.g. bodies and faces) – giving rise
not only to dynamic interrelations between materiality and immateriality,
but also a radical convertibility between matter, energy, solidity, mass,
and body that signals a moment of media history today.
The D’Avalos-Colonna Literary Circle: A ‘Renewed Parnassus’
Authors: Furstenberg-Levi Shulamit
Published: November 2021

This study examines the various links between the Neapolitan Accademia
Pontaniana and the d’Avalos-Colonna literary gatherings on the island of
Ischia, arguing that the former figured as intellectual ancestor of the latter.
The two informal groups shared a common geographical context—the
bay of Naples—as well as striking similarities between their leading
figures, Giovanni Pontano and Vittoria Colonna. This analysis is based
mainly on literary sources such as Girolamo Britonio’s Gelosia del Sole
and Paolo Giovio’s Dialogus de viris et foeminus aetate nostra florentibus,
which make reference to both explicit and subtle connections between
the Ischian cenacolo—often referred to in terms of Parnassus—and its
inspirational father figure, the original Accademia Pontaniana.
Magistra apostolorum : The Virgin Mary in Birgitta of Sweden and Vittoria Colonna
Authors: Falkeid Unn
Published: November 2021

Vittoria Colonna used a series of role models, such as the heroines of
classical mythology, or female saints such as Catherine of Alexandria and
Mary Magdalene, in the construction of her image as an intellectually
aspiring and moral exemplary noblewoman. This chapter argues that
Birgitta of Sweden (1303–73) should be added to Colonna’s gallery of female
models. As an aristocratic widow in Rome with reform inclinations, with
a strong public voice, and above all with an extensive textual presence
that extended throughout Italy and to other European countries, no one
could fit better as Colonna’s exemplum than Birgitta. As this chapter
explores, the clearest traces of Birgittine imitations are to be found in
Colonna’s radical meditations on the Virgin Mary.
‘Ex illo mea, mi Daniel, Victoria pendet’ : A Forgotten Spiritual Epigram by Vittoria Colonna
Authors: Copello Veronica
Published: November 2021

On 27 November 1537, the Ferrarese humanist Daniele Fini sent a Latin
epigram to Vittoria Colonna, at that time residing in Ferrara. She responded
a few months later with an epigram of her own, a poem that has been
all but neglected in the scholarship. This essay aims to verify Colonna’s
authorship of the epigram through analysis of the manuscript against the
historical details of the author’s life and travels, as well as a comparison
with the lexicon and themes of her vernacular rime spirituali.
Religious Desire in the Poetry of Vittoria Colonna : Insights into Early Modern Piety and Poetics
Authors: Prodan Sarah Rolfe
Published: November 2021

This chapter examines Vittoria Colonna’s biblically inspired verse and
the pious traditions to which they point, suggesting that for her, a devout
writer, the Bible was not just a text to be read, interpreted, written about
and shared, but also prayed and ruminated upon. Through a close reading
of selected verses in which the poet inserts scriptural transpositions into
poetic constructs highlighting the lyric persona’s unrealized spiritual
desires, this chapter explores the writer’s practice and seeming promotion
of the lectio divina and the lectio spiritualis, that is, of her use of the Bible
not as a pious source of inspiration, but as an instrument of personal devotion
by which she might be brought to direct, personally transformative
engagement with the divine.
‘Inscribed Upon Their Hearts’: Copying and the Dissemination of Devotion
Authors: Maratsos Jessica
Published: November 2021

The close friendship shared by Vittoria Colonna and Michelangelo inspired
the production of intimate gifts in the form of sonnets and presentation
drawings. These works exercised a considerable fascination over their
contemporaries, who sought to obtain copies of the poems and drawings in
a variety of different media. Both individually crafted and mass produced,
these copies possessed multiple valences for different audiences, revealing
the ways in which the relationship between original and copy, function
and medium, collecting and devotion intersected in the Cinquecento.
This chapter explores the ways in which sonnets and drawings were
appropriated by broader audiences, focusing especially on the translation
of Michelangelo’s Pietà drawing into bronze paxes created for popular,
liturgical use.
Introduction: The Twenty-First Century Vittoria Colonna
Authors: Cox Virginia
Published: November 2021

Although—unusually, for an early modern woman writer—Vittoria
Colonna has long been considered part of the canon, several factors have
inhibited a true appreciation of her importance as a literary innovator
and model. The current critical moment is conducive to a re-examination
of her significance, in the light of recent research on the early modern
Italian tradition of women’s writing, on the Catholic Reform movement
and its literary expression, and on developments in Italian literature in
the last four decades of the sixteenth century. Consideration of these
factors reveal Colonna as a figure of wide-reaching influence in her time
and a powerful shaping influence on later traditions of Italian literature,
in the late Renaissance and beyond.

Eski Smyrna Nekropolisleri ve Ölü Gömme Uygulamaları Üzerine Genel Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: FOÇA Serhat
Published: November 2021

MÖ 3. binyıldan Hellenistik Dönem’e kadar kesintisiz bir yerleşmenin arkeolojik verilerle kanıtlandığı Bayraklı Höyüğü’nde, ölü gömme gelenekleri üzerine bilinenler sınırlıdır. 18. ve 19. yüzyıllarda gezginlerin araştırmaları ve notlarıyla başlayan nekropolis çalışmaları, 20. yüzyıldan itibaren bilimsel kazılarla sistemli hale gelmiştir. Protogeometrik ve Geometrik Dönemlerde yerleşim içi (intramural) gömülerle başlayan ölü gömme gelenekleri, Arkaik Dönem’de sur tahkimatının doğusunda ve güneydoğusunda hem çocuklar hem de yetişkinler için organize edilmiş özel alanların kullanılmasıyla devam etmiştir. Kentin kuzeyinde yer alan verimsiz ve kayalık yamaçlar ise ağırlıklı olarak tümülüs mezar geleneğinin uygulandığı birincil nekropolis olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bugün, çarpık kentleşme nedeniyle izleri korunamayan Tantalos Mezarı ve onlarca tümülüs ile Klazomenai tipi pişmiş toprak mezarlar bu alandan bulunmuştur. Kentin terk edildiği Hellenistik Dönem’de ise sınırlı da olsa höyük ve çevresinde gömü uygulamalarının devam ettiği kaydedilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Eski Smyrna’da ortaya çıkarılan mezarların doğrultusunda ölü gömü gelenekleri, nekropolislerin yer seçimi ve organizasyonları üzerine genel bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Ege kıyılarındaki merkezlerle Eski Smyrna uygulamaları arasında karşılaştırmalara başvurulmuş, benzerlikler ve farklılıklar üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu çalışmayla birlikte, Eski Smyrna gömü gelenekleri ile ilgili önceki araştırmalardan ve kazılardan elde edilen sonuçların derlenmesiyle, gelecek çalışmalara bir zemin oluşturması hedeflenmiştir.

Prispevek želi osvetliti bogato zapuščino, potopisca, zgodovinarja, glasbenika in duhovnika Josipa Lavtižarja, pri čemer je poseben poudarek namenjen njegovemu delovanju na planinskem področju. Ob 170 obletnici rojstva je obujanje spomina na to dragoceno dediščino več kot potrebno, saj je v današnjem slovenskem prostoru premalo poznana. Zdi se namreč, da je ohranjanje spomina na Lavtižarjeva prizadevanja praktično živo samo še v občini njegovega rojstva in delovanja, v širšem slovenskem prostoru pa kljub široki ostalini ostaja prezrt.
Prva Jugoslavija in »njena« diaspora v Braziliji
Authors: Zobec Miha
Published: November 2021

Avtor se v prispevku ukvarja z jugoslovansko diasporo v Braziliji v obdobju med vojnama. Jugoslovanska diaspora je bila kot rezultat skupnih slovenskih in hrvaških prizadevanj  usklajena s težnjami prve Jugoslavije po društvenem organiziranju na jugoslovanski osnovi,  vendarle pa so bile osnove povezovanja južnoslovanskih priseljencev v Braziliji prisotne že pred prvo svetovno vojno. Jugoslovanska diaspora v Braziliji je bila zelo krhka, njeni odnosi z »domovino« pa površinski. K temu sta botrovala pomanjkanje zanimanja Jugoslavije za vzdrževanje trdnih odnosov s »svojo« skupnostjo v Braziliji kot tudi brazilska politika nacionalizacije priseljencev. Odsotnost jugoslovanskih prizadevanj so v skrbi za skupnost skušali nadomestiti izseljenski aktivisti, a so njihove akcije pogosto vodile k še večji fragmentaciji skupnosti. Avtor pozornost posveča tudi diaspori izseljencev iz Julijske krajine, katere del se je identificiral z jugoslovansko diasporo, del pa je deloval samostojno.
Parlament in čas
Authors: Gašparič Jure
Published: November 2021

Čas kot sila pomemben in pogosto odločujoč dejavnik je še posebej prisoten v političnem življenju, v zelo konkretni obliki pa njegov pomen izstopa v parlamentu. V pričujoči razpravi bomo skušali razumeti dojemanje časa v moderni dobi na eni strani in politične razsežnosti ter njihove vplive na drugi strani. Osrednja teza, ki ji bomo sledili, je sledeča: V dobi moderne je čas postajal pomembna dobrina, z njim je bilo treba ravnati racionalno in zato je bilo treba delovati učinkovito. Njegovo dojemanje je sovpadalo s potrebo po njegovem uravnavanju, prilagajanju prepotrebni hitrosti. Izhajajoč iz tega postulata, se je spreminjalo dojemanje politike in političnega. Razprava metodološko temelji na analizi preteklih manipulacij s časom (v 19. in 20. stoletju), na kvantitativni analizi obsega dela zadnjih parlamentarnih desetletij in zlasti na analizi dojemanja časa med poslanci, ki so ga izražali v svojih govorih (zadnje s pomočjo možnosti, ki jih danes raziskovalcu nudita korpusna lingvistika in besedilni korpus siParl 2.0).

Leveraging machine learning for quantitative precipitation estimation from Fengyun-4 geostationary observations and ground meteorological measurements

Published: November 2021

Abstract. Deriving large-scale and high-quality precipitation products from satellite
remote-sensing spectral data is always challenging in quantitative
precipitation estimation (QPE), and limited studies have been conducted even
using China's latest Fengyun-4A (FY-4A) geostationary satellite. Taking
three rainstorm events over South China as examples, a machine-learning-based regression model was established using the random forest (RF) method to derive
QPE from FY-4A observations, in conjunction with cloud parameters and physical
quantities. The cross-validation results indicate that both daytime (DQPE) and
nighttime (NQPE) RF algorithms performed well in estimating QPE, with the bias
score, correlation coefficient and root-mean-square error of DQPE (NQPE) of
2.17 (2.42), 0.79 (0.83) and 1.77 mm h−1 (2.31 mm h−1), respectively. Overall, the
algorithm has a high accuracy in estimating precipitation under the heavy-rain
level or below. Nevertheless, the positive bias still implies an
overestimation of precipitation by the QPE algorithm, in addition to certain
misjudgements from non-precipitation pixels to precipitation events. Also, the
QPE algorithm tends to underestimate the precipitation at the rainstorm or
even above levels. Compared to single-sensor algorithms, the developed QPE
algorithm can better capture the spatial distribution of land-surface
precipitation, especially the centre of strong precipitation. Marginal
difference between the data accuracy over sites in urban and rural areas
indicate that the model performs well over space and has no evident dependence
on landscape. In general, our proposed FY-4A QPE algorithm has advantages for
quantitative estimation of summer precipitation over East Asia.
Distichon (Distich)
Authors: Schutjer Karin
Published: November 2021

The verse form Distichon (distich), a classical couplet comprising one hexameter and one pentameter line, can qualify as a Begriff (concept) in Clark Muenzer’s sense of an “experimental technology” that facilitates the intelligibility of a world in flux. Goethe experimented with this ancient form throughout the decade following his return from his first journey to Italy and developed it into a fine-tuned vehicle for his emerging natural scientific and cultural conceptions. While he drew from both the elegiac and epigrammatic distichal traditions, the epigram, in particular, shaped his conceptualization of the distich as a primal poetic unit mediating the poet’s encounter with the world. The flexible segmented structure of the distich, as defined by its two lines and caesuras, nicely accommodates parallel, contrastive, reciprocal, circular, and triadic configurations that play a role in his morphological thought and aesthetic-cultural program.

Association of Diet, Quality of Life and Premenstrual Syndrome; A Review
Authors: Javaid Quratulain
Published: November 2021

Premenstrual syndrome is a disorder experienced by the females of reproductive ages. The etiology of this common condition is unknown. The presentation of symptoms is highly variable all over the world. The variability in the presentation of symptoms could be linked to social and cultural effects of environment. There can be psychological, physical or behavioral characteristic manifestations linked to premenstrual syndrome. The presentation of premenstrual syndrome can effect a female’s life. Household chores, work place tasks and interpersonal relationships are effected gravely. Dietary intake of the individuals is associated with the symptoms of premenstrual syndrome symptoms. Intake of diet loaded with whole grains, fish, fruits, vegetables, micronutrients like vitamin B1, D and E have shown to have protective effects against the development and severity of premenstrual syndrome symptoms. Intake of harmful food items like refined sugar, fast food, sweetened drinks, alcohol and chocolates are associated with increase in severity of the condition.

Laparoscopic diverted one-anastomosis gastric bypass (D-OAGB) is a bariatric procedure combining the principles of restriction, malabsorption, and other factors to induce weight loss. It is achieved by creating a narrow, long gastric pouch and bypassing a part of the small bowel (biliopancreatic limb). D-OAGB was first described by Dr. Ribero in 2013 and is technically a variation of the very heterogeneous group of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass operations. There are different technical variants to perform D-OAGB and to organize pre- and postoperative care. The following article is based on the approach to bariatric surgery as taken at the Department of General Surgery at the Medical University of Vienna. This article focuses on patient preparation before bariatric/metabolic surgery with mandatory and optional preoperative examinations to find the surgical procedure best suited for each individual patient and to decrease the patient’s risk. The surgical technique of D-OAGB itself, including positioning of the patient and related technical highlights, as well as the specifics of the postoperative course, are described. D-OAGB is an effective procedure for patients with symptomatic gastroesophageal reflux for adequate weight loss and remission of comorbidities with a low risk of malnutrition. For D-OAGB to be successful, important technical steps, such as creating a narrow, long pouch, exact length of the biliopancreatic and alimentary limb, and additional hiatoplasty (if necessary), should be taken. In terms of the postoperative course, regular checkups are vital to ensure desirable outcome in the long-term follow up and early detection of adverse developments.

Published: November 2021

A new species, Pezicula endophytica, was isolated from roots and stems of two Dendrobium species in northern Thailand. Evidence to support the new species is based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis of the combined ITS, LSU, and RPB2 DNA sequence dataset. Pezicula
endophytica, which constituted a clade independent from other Pezicula species, has 4% distinct base pair differences in all genes. Pezicula endophytica has larger macroconidia and longer conidiophores compared with phylogenetically neighboring species. This is the first
report of an endophytic Pezicula species from Dendrobium in Thailand.

Authors: Lima Thaísa de Souza , Pagani Flávia Mariane , Borges Carolina Bianchini , Paschoini Marina de Carvalho , Araujo Júnior Edward , Peixoto Alberto Borges
Published: November 2021

Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre uso profilático de antibióticos e rotura prematura de membranas (RPM) e resultados perinatais adversos. Métodos: Trata-se de uma coorte retrospectiva de mulheres grávidas com rotura prematura de membranas, que fizeram ou não uso profilático de antibióticos entre 24 e 33 semanas e 6 dias. Para a análise estatística, foram utilizados teste χ2, teste t de Student e regressão logística binária. Resultados: Houve efeito significativo do grupo com RPM em uso profilático de antibióticos sobre a medida do índice de líquido amniótico (ILA) (p=0,007), a medida do maior bolsão vertical (MBV) (p=0,049), o tempo de uso de antibiótico (p≤0,001), a proteína C reativa na internação (p≤0,001), o número de leucócitos na internação (p=0,007) e o tempo de internação em unidade terapia intensiva (UTI) neonatal (p=0,047). Observou-se associação significativa entre o grupo com RPM em uso profilático de antibióticos e o uso de surfactante durante o período neonatal (p=0,04). As pacientes que utilizaram antibióticos profiláticos apresentaram maior prevalência de uso de surfactante (20,0 vs. 8,7%, p=0,04). Conclusão: Não se observou associação entre uso profilático de antibióticos com presença de resultados perinatais adversos em gestantes com RPM entre 24 e 33 semanas e 6 dias.

Published: November 2021

Introdução: A maioria das mulheres grávidas infectadas com SARS-CoV-2 será assintomática. A maior parte das mulheres sintomáticas apresenta apenas sintomas leves ou moderados de resfriado/ gripe. Os sintomas mais comuns de COVID-19 em mulheres grávidas são tosse e febre. Os menos frequentes são dispneia, mialgia, perda de paladar e diarreia. Objetivo: Avaliar a prevalência de COVID-19 em grupo de gestantes sintomáticas. Métodos: Foram selecionadas todas as gestantes atendidas na emergência de duas maternidades localizadas na zona sul e na zona oeste da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, que apresentaram diagnóstico compatível com síndrome gripal (CID J11) ou síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SRAG) (CID U04.9) em um período de um ano, de março de 2020 a março de 2021. Todas foram submetidas a coleta de amostra de nasofaringe para pesquisa de reação em cadeia da polimerase (PCR) para SARS-CoV-2. Resultados: Foram recrutadas 640 fichas de atendimento de gestantes com síndrome gripal e/ou SRAG. Testaram positivo para COVID-19 42% (n=262 gestantes). A prevalência foi maior no grupo de gestantes da zona oeste do Rio de Janeiro (43%, n=117/408) do que no da zona sul (37%, n=85/232). Conclusão: A testagem em massa das gestantes seria a conduta ideal para conhecermos a real prevalência da COVID-19 em gestantes em nossa população. Os testes para vírus respiratórios diferentes do SARS-CoV-2 devem ser orientados pela epidemiologia atual, uma vez que, mesmo em período de pandemia, a maioria das síndromes gripais em gestantes não estão diretamente relacionadas ao SARS-CoV-2. Esses resultados correspondem a resultados preliminares do estudo “Rede de pesquisa em SARS-CoV-2/ COVID-19 na assistência perinatal”.

Published: November 2021

Introdução: O ato de amamentar envolve interações entre o binômio materno-infantil, repercutindo em benefícios que ultrapassam os aspectos dietéticos e nutricionais. Contemplando uma estratégia natural de vínculo, afeto e proteção para criança, representa, também, uma estratégia econômica e eficaz de redução de morbimortalidade infantil e materna. Objetivo: Identificar o conhecimento materno, em enfermaria puerperal de maternidade estadual do Piauí, sobre o processo de amamentação, avaliando o nível socioeconômico e o suporte pré-natal recebido, a fim de estabelecer correlação entre esses fatores e o grau de instrução sobre o tema. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, analítico, transversal e prospectivo. Foi realizado na maternidade Dona Evangelina Rosa em Teresina/Piauí. Obteve-se uma amostra não probabilística, consecutiva, de todas as mulheres que tiveram parto vaginal ou cesáreo assistidos pela instituição. Foi utilizado um formulário estruturado, elaborado pelos pesquisadores, acerca de aspectos relacionados à amamentação, como orientação sobre o aleitamento materno durante o pré-natal e conhecimento atual sobre a técnica de amamentação. Os dados coletados foram inseridos em um banco de dados e analisados por meio de testes comparativos (teste t de Student) e correlacionais (teste de correlação de Pearson). Resultados: Neste estudo, foram selecionadas 120 mulheres com idade entre 15 e 35 anos. Quanto à escolaridade, 34% delas apresentavam ensino médio completo. Em relação à experiência com aleitamento materno (AM), 58% responderam que possuíam algum tipo de experiência. A maioria (63%) obteve informações a respeito de orientações relativas ao AM durante a gestação. Em relação à forma com que adquiriram essas informações, 51% afirmaram que foi durante a assistência pré-natal, por meio de orientações médicas ou da equipe de enfermagem; outros recursos também citados foram leitura e comunicação social (18%). Além disso, 82% das mulheres responderam que o período adequado para AM é de seis meses. Afirmaram que as mamas devem ser lavadas com sabonete antes de todas as mamadas 68% e 73% disseram que a mama deve ser completamente esvaziada antes de se ofertar a outra.

Introdução: A pré-eclâmpsia é uma das principais causas de morbimortalidade materna e fetal no Brasil e no mundo. O adequado acompanhamento médico durante a gestação pode contribuir para a identificação de fatores de risco, prevenção, detecção precoce e manejo dessa desordem. O conhecimento adquirido pelo aluno de Medicina sobre pré-eclâmpsia durante a graduação pode ter influência no atendimento à gestante após a sua formação. Objetivo: Avaliar o conhecimento sobre pré-eclâmpsia de alunos do curso de Medicina com metodologia ativa. Métodos: Estudo tipo transversal quantitativo, realizado por meio da aplicação de questionários on-line com 10 questões de múltipla escolha sobre pré-eclâmpsia a alunos do primeiro ao sexto anos de Medicina de uma universidade particular com metodologia ativa e curso semestral, no período de setembro de 2020 a janeiro de 2021. Resultados e conclusão: Do total de 336 alunos participantes, 173 cursavam anos de ciclo básico (42,2% do primeiro ano e 57,8% do segundo), 139 cursavam o ciclo clínico (61,9% do terceiro ano e 38,1% do quarto) e 24 eram alunos do internato (75% no quinto ano e 25% no sexto). Das 3.360 respostas coletadas, apenas 40,2% estavam corretas. A questão de menor porcentagem de acerto abordou fatores de risco para pré-eclâmpsia, com apenas 19,3% de correção, principalmente no segundo, terceiro, quarto e décimo primeiro semestres. A segunda questão com menos acertos abordou as definições das síndromes hipertensivas na gestação. A questão com maior porcentagem de acerto foi a de número 10, que abordou pré-eclâmpsia grave, com 63,4% de acertos. Alunos dos anos do ciclo básico obtiveram menores porcentagens de acertos (primeiro ano 36,3% e segundo 34%) quando comparados aos dos demais anos do ciclo clínico (terceiro, 48,8%, e quarto, 40,9%) e do internato (quinto, 46,1%, e sexto, 45%). As etapas com melhor desempenho no questionário foram a 11 (55% de acerto) e a 5 (53,3%). Em suma, o conhecimento sobre pré-eclâmpsia de alunos de Medicina na metodologia ativa parece ter lacunas que podem estar relacionadas à abordagem dessa desordem ao longo do curso, principalmente com relação à identificação de fatores de risco e definições das síndromes hipertensivas na gestação. No entanto, mais estudos são necessários para melhor avaliação da qualidade do ensino do curso de Medicina na metodologia ativa e suas possíveis influências em longo prazo no manejo da pré-eclâmpsia.
