Predictors of Blood Pressure Among Hypertensive Patients
Authors: Hui Yang , Chua Loresita Antonia
Published: September 2024

This study investigated the predictors of blood pressure among hypertensive patients in Tangshan, northern China, utilizing a descriptive, quantitative methodology with survey questionnaires completed by 375 participants. The demographic breakdown showed equal gender distribution (50% male, 50% female), with the majority aged 50-59 (47.9%), married (97.7%), educated to high school level (72.1%), engaged in manual labor (92%), and earning less than 5,000 RMB monthly (53%). Notably, a significant portion had comorbid conditions such as diabetes, nephropathy, or hyperlipidemia. Key lifestyle factors identified included high rates of overweight individuals (60.4%), low exercise frequency (14.6%), high-fat and high-salt diets (80.9% consuming 6-12 grams of salt daily), and poor medication adherence (34.5%). Through multiple linear regression analysis, significant predictors for systolic blood pressure were identified as medication adherence, diabetes mellitus, exercise, and smoking. In contrast, for diastolic blood pressure, significant predictors included medication adherence, age, and high-fat diet. Gender stratification revealed income as an additional predictor for males and a sedentary lifestyle and smoking for females. The study emphasizes the need for intensified health education, family support for treatment belief, and improved medication adherence, particularly for low-income groups. It recommends regular monitoring for patients with diabetes, kidney disease, and hyperlipidemia, alongside lifestyle modifications (weight control, low-sugar and low-fat diets, and increased exercise). A program has been proposed to highlight dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, and drug compliance to address such findings. Keywords: predictors, blood pressure, hypertensive patients
OS COMPLEXOS VEGETACIONAIS DAS CAMPINARANAS NO BAIXO TOCANTINS, CAMETÁ-PARÁ

Published: September 2024

As campinaranas constituem um sistema importante para a biodiversidade, pois abrigam espécies endêmicas de flora e fauna. Objetiva-se analisar de forma integrada as campinaranas no município de Cametá-Pará, com vista a identificar suas estruturas e apontar os agentes causadores de degradação, além de propor medidas que visem reduzir formas de usos inadequadas. A metodologia baseou-se nos aportes da Geoecologia de Paisagens, no tocante aos funcionamentos sistêmicos. Os mapas foram produzidos a partir de dados vetoriais do IBGE. Como resultados, verificou-se que as campinaranas fazem parte de um único sistema (florestal, arbustivo e herbáceo). O funcionamento das campinaranas é expresso pela relação das estruturas com os condicionantes ambientais, tendo o fator água-solo como um condicionante elementar. Constatou-se que o processo de expansão urbana, a extração de recursos minerais, construção de estradas e proximidade à lixões são as principais atividades que as degradam, ocasionando erosão dos solos, perda de espécies endêmicas e fragmentação dessas fitofisionomias.

Published: September 2024

O estudo teve como objetivo geral aprofundar a compreensão da governança participativa da água no Comitê da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Marapanim, que está localizado em 12 municípios paraenses. Para isso, analisou-se as trajetórias dos membros, suas motivações e conexões com as comunidades locais, além do papel na formulação de políticas e resolução de conflitos hídricos. Por meio da aplicação de formulário online e revisão bibliográfica de documentos relativos à construção do comitê da Bacia Hidrográfica do Rio Marapanim, revelou-se desafios na conscientização sobre o Comitê e na valorização da Bacia pelos cidadãos de cada cidade. Apesar dos esforços para mitigar impactos ambientais, a falta de recursos e mão de obra limitam a realização de ações plenas em todas as localidades que a bacia está inserida. Além disso, a luta contra os interesses políticos em cada cidade é muito grande. Destacou-se a importância da gestão participativa da água para políticas eficazes e adaptadas às necessidades locais, promovendo preservação ambiental e desenvolvimento sustentável na Amazônia.

RELAÇÃO ENTRE PAISAGEM E USO E COBERTURA DA TERRA, UMA ABORDAGEM PARA O ESTADO DE RORAIMA
Authors: Prado Gisele da Silva , Carvalho Thiago Morato de
Published: September 2024

O Estado de Roraima, região de domínio amazônico, é composto por diferentes unidades das paisagens (UPs), incluso áreas campestres (lavrado; campinaranas), florestas (mata de terra firme, igapós e várzeas), matas ciliares (veredas) e antropizadas, as quais estruturam um mosaico único na Amazônia. Roraima representa próximo de 6% da Região Norte Brasil (2,6% do território nacional), sendo uma região de tríplice fronteira entre Brasil, Venezuela e Guiana. Neste ambiente, a paisagem é marcada por uma geodiversidade de UPs dominadas pelos sistemas agradacionais (90 mil/km², 40% do Estado) e denudacionais (130 mil/km², 60% do Estado), sendo este último de maior dinâmica e de UPs regional. Chama-se atenção das UPs úmidas, como os igapós e várzeas, as quais exercem papel fundamental na regulação hídrica. É notável o crescimento das UPs antropizadas, impactos socioambientais dessa expansão são notáveis, especialmente nos casos de supressão e modificação dos cursos d'água. Desta forma, buscou-se apresentar em contexto geral, a questão da paisagem e sua aproximação para Roraima e suas particularidades. A exemplo, como o uso e cobertura da terra proporciona a compreensão da configuração das paisagens e do seu sistema físico-ambiental, permitindo identificar as fragilidades, potencialidades e capacidade de adaptação por meio dos processos decorrentes da ocupação.

Published: September 2024

As mudanças nas paisagens ao longo das últimas quatro décadas, acompanhadas pelo aumento da demanda por água pelo agronegócio e pela indústria, especialmente no Bioma Cerrado, ocasionaram em aumento da vulnerabilidade das bacias hidrográficas. O Rio Caldas, um dos principais afluentes do Rio Meia Ponte, atualmente abastece parte de Anápolis e do Distrito Agroindustrial da cidade, e será utilizado como nova fonte de abastecimento hídrico da região metropolitana de Goiânia, o que revela a necessidade de estudos diagnósticos e de monitoramento de indicadores de qualidade ambiental. O objetivo foi analisar a situação de conservação das áreas protegidas, no ano de 2022, na alta bacia do Rio Caldas. A caracterização foi feita por meio de análise espacial e quantificação da paisagem por meio de métricas da Paisagem. Realizou-se mapeamento de Uso de Solo utilizando imagem do satélite CBERS 04A e processadas no software QGis. Os resultados revelam que tanto as áreas de preservação permanente como as reservas legais da alta bacia possuem 80% da extensão com vegetação, porém apresentam usos não previstos pela legislação. Na área de Proteção Ambiental do Caldas a quantidade total de vegetação remanescente foi de 20%, em contraste com as outras modalidades de área protegida.

Vector borne diseases are an emerging challenge for Bangladesh because of low socio-economic condition, poor housing, pooreducational status, water pollution, soil pollution and climate change in rural area. Until now a very little attention has been paidon this issue in Bangladesh .The objective of this study was to assess the knowledge status of the people at Modhukhali. For thispurpose a cross sectional study was conducted to collect data from a purposively selected sample of 390 respondents. It wasrevealed from the study that most of the respondents, 98.97% were Muslims. Literacy rate of rural people of Modhukhali wasgood. The result indicates that about 19.23% people were illiterate but most of the respondents were aware about the majorvector borne diseases.

The study revealed that about 88.72% people knew about danger of using surface water for all purposes. About 47.44% peopleattend at any health education program. About 88.20% people know about diseases produced by mosquito and housefly. About74.62% people know about malaria produced by mosquito .About 81.54% people know about diarrhoea produced by housefly.About 73.10% people know about dengue fever. About 18.46% people know about filariasis, about 15.12% know about kala-azar and about 35.38% people know about mode of transmission of typhoid.

Health care service provider and the concerned authority paid some attention to the vector borne diseases and to the influencingfactors but yet there are some lack in rural areas. The rural people should be made aware before they get the diseases. Govtshould allocate budget and organize skillful training facility to these entire health service providers. On this purpose there is alsoneed for strong supervision and monitoring of the vector borne diseases care services and their prevention throughout thecountry. Beside this Govt should also consider about environmental sanitation and safe water supply to improve the situation.
Køn og chikane i kommunalpolitik

Published: September 2024

Chikane, intimidering og vold i politik er ikke et nyt fænomen, men det har fået fornyet opmærksomhed i de senere år både i offentligheden og inden for forskningen. Den anden bølge af #MeToo-bevægelsen ramte også Danmark og afdækkede sexchikane i nogle af landets store kulturelle og samfundsmæssige institutioner, herunder også i politik (DR 2014; Amnesty 2017; 2018; Institut for Menneskerettigheder 2019; Politico 2020; TV 2 2020), ikke mindst hjulpet på vej af #EnBlandtOs (Friis m.fl. 2020). Forskningsfeltet er i kraftig udvikling og kombinerer fokus på vold mod kvinder i politik (Krook 2020), politisk vold specielt i udviklingslande og nye demokratier (Bjarnegård og Zetterberg 2023a), og parlamenter som gode arbejdspladser (Childs 2015). Formålet med denne artikel er at vise, hvor udbredt er oplevelser af chikane, intimidering og vold blandt de danske kommunalbestyrelsesmedlemmer, hvor det foregår, og hvem der gør det.
The COVID-19 Crisis and the Global Compact on Migration: The Momentum and the Tool to Overcome “Immobility”
Authors: Delas Olivier , Jouzier Baptiste
Published: September 2024

After some forty years of security and closure discourse towards international migration, and of “crisis” management in the matter, the adoption of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) in December 2018, although a non-legally binding instrument, seems to be able to lead to an overcoming of this approach, which is visibly counterproductive. Thus, states commit to “[e]nhance availability and flexibility of pathways for regular migration” (Objective 5) or “[s]trengthen certainty and predictability in migration procedures” (Objective 12). Through the idea of global cooperation, based on law, the ambition of states to adopt a more long-term approach to the migration phenomenon emerges. However, the COVID-19 crisis seemed to greatly diminish the prospects of implementing such an approach. The desire to limit the spread of the virus quickly led to a strict closure of borders, drastically reducing migration flows. The multilateral approach to this issue seemed to be quickly swept aside by national concerns: the initial reactions of the European Union Member States were a clear example. However, this borders closure, taken to its extreme for health reasons, has highlighted the migrant labour dependency of the economies of the “global North”. If the crisis stroke migration and international mobility in the short term, it is not certain that in the mid to long term, the consequences of the health crisis will not, on the contrary, lead to a reconsideration of the security and closure approach implied by crisis management. Indeed, the shortage of migrant workers, linked to the closures brought about by the COVID-19 crisis, has led to radical state responses — from the organisation of “charter” flights to facilitate the arrival of migrant workers to the regularisation of illegal workers or rejected asylum seekers — or, where states failed, to “underground” responses — labour migration having been managed mainly by the Mafia in Italy, for example. Therefore, it seems necessary to wonder if, in a way, the COVID-19 crisis, through the paroxysm of border closure it has brought and the needs it has thus underlined, could not constitute a momentum for the implementation of a new approach to international migration, as advocated by the GCM.
Pratiques sensibles au trauma et agression sexuelle : l'apport et les défis des trajectoires de services centralisés
Authors: Daignault Isabelle V. , Roy Ariane , Hébert Martine , Cyr Mireille , Collin-Vézina Delphine
Published: September 2024

L’agression sexuelle pendant l’enfance peut engendrer des conséquences importantes, et ceci se révèle d’autant plus vrai lorsque les formes de violence s’accumulent dans la vie des enfants. La recherche a permis de mieux comprendre l’influence de facteurs proximaux et distaux pouvant favoriser le rétablissement des jeunes victimes ou lui nuire. Parmi ceux-ci, la trajectoire de services a été moins explorée. En matière de violence sexuelle, cette trajectoire comporte plusieurs défis puisqu’elle implique la concertation multidisciplinaire des services policiers, judiciaires, psychologiques et sociaux. Aux États-Unis et plus tard au Québec, des Centres d’appui aux enfants et à la jeunesse (CAEJ) ont été implantés comme modèle pouvant faciliter la concertation des services, notamment grâce à une offre de services centralisés en un lieu et un contexte d’intervention sensible à la réalité traumatique des enfants. Peu d’études ont toutefois exploré l’apport de ces services. Le présent article examine l’influence de facteurs pouvant contribuer au rétablissement des enfants en documentant la trajectoire de services centralisés sur une période de 10 ans dans le premier Centre d’appui aux enfants implanté au Québec. Les résultats révèlent que le nombre de services centralisés sous un même toit n’est pas associé au rétablissement des victimes. Toutefois, au sein d’une structure où un certain nombre de services sont centralisés (CAEJ), les résultats montrent que l’implication de la Direction de la protection de la jeunesse dès l’évaluation initiale et le nombre de séances de soutien offertes aux parents représentent des éléments de la trajectoire de services qui sont associés au rétablissement des victimes à la suite d’une psychothérapie.

Dans l’ensemble des systèmes de services à la jeunesse, le comportement des jeunes fait l’objet d’une attention prioritaire et d’une surveillance considérable. Dans les approches sensibles aux traumas, les comportements des adolescents.es sont considérés.es comme la pointe de l’iceberg, indiquant des modifications associées aux expériences traumatogènes sous-jacentes. Nous avons recueilli les récits d’expériences d’états d’hyper- et d’hypoactivation initiée par des stimuli environnementaux chez 16 adolescents.es ayant subi de la violence familiale et leurs stratégies variées de régulation de l’affect. Les résultats issus des expériences vécues sont en accord avec les trois concepts centraux des approches sensibles aux traumas — les modifications adaptatives au stress, la régulation de l’affect et l’attachement — à la suite d’expositions traumatogènes. Les résultats démontrent le besoin d’intégrer les approches sensibles aux traumas dans notre façon de soutenir les adolescents.es en situation de vulnérabilité.
La visualidad háptica y la modalidad subjetiva indirecta libre en el cine queer: un diálogo entre Pasolini y Martel
Authors: Vázquez-Rodriguez Lucia Gloria
Published: September 2024

Este artículo propone una indagación en las sinergias entre la visualidad háptica conceptualizada por Laura Marks y la modalidad subjetiva indirecta libre definida por Pasolini, así como las sucesivas reinterpretaciones del concepto que han llevado a cabo autores como Deleuze o Mirizio para analizar cómo estas perspectivas teóricas convergen y se manifiestan en la denominada Trilogía de Salta. A través de un análisis detenido de La ciénaga (2001), La niña santa (2004) y La mujer sin cabeza (2008), nos proponemos explorar cómo la intersección entre la visualidad háptica y la modalidad subjetiva indirecta libre arroja luz sobre las estrategias narrativas y sensoriales en la filmografía de Lucrecia Martel, enriqueciendo nuestra comprensión de su contribución única al lenguaje cinematográfico.

Hacia finales de la década de 1940, el sistema educativo argentino comenzó a experimentar un proceso de privatización educativa expresado en la matriculación creciente de alumnos en escuelas privadas. Por sus características sociodemográficas y por aspectos estructurales de su sistema educativo, la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires (CABA) ha sido el epicentro del proceso de privatización. El objetivo de este trabajo es ofrecer una caracterización de la fase más reciente del proceso de privatización de la matrícula escolar primaria en la Ciudad para conocer el perfil sociodemográfico de quienes se han incorporado al subsistema privado en el período 2004-2014. A partir del trabajo con la Encuesta Anual de Hogares de la CABA, advertimos, por un lado, una fuerte tendencia a la privatización de la matrícula en sectores de clase media-baja y baja y, por otro, que la tendencia a la privatización de la matrícula no se encuentra aún agotada entre sectores de clase media-media, media-alta y alta. El artículo culmina con el esbozo de un programa de investigación con el que identificar, ya desde una visión cualitativa, los determinantes más profundos del proceso.

Published: September 2024

En el presente artículo nos planteamos un análisis la evolución de la provisión de educación infantil de primer ciclo en el contexto estatal y autonómico, pero con particular atención al caso de la ciudad de Valencia, para observar cómo se articula la oferta educativa en un modelo de “libre” elección. Valencia se presenta como un caso de interés porque se lleva fomentando y desarrollando el modelo de oferta privada, muy especialmente a nivel de primer ciclo de Educación Infantil, desde los últimos tres lustros. Para acometer esta investigación tras una contextualización en la que presentamos un análisis descriptivo de la oferta educativa no universitaria a nivel de España, de la Comunitat Valenciana y en la ciudad de Valencia, con especial énfasis en la evolución de la oferta preescolar en la ciudad, analizamos los datos procedentes de una encuesta a centros para caracterizar la oferta de primer ciclo de educación infantil en la ciudad de Valencia. Los datos de esta última parte del estudio proceden del proyecto Modelos Parentales y Demandas Educativas (UV-INV-PRECOMP12-80709) financiado por la Universitat de València.

Authors: Landi Carlos Alberto , Silva Flávia Calanca da , Monge Aline , Zenardi Gabriel Amaral , Suzuki Denise Chrysostomo , Vitalle Maria Sylvia de Souza
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Sexual violence can be treated as a public health problem because of its high prevalence worldwide and the negative physical and mental impacts. Objective: Investigate the relationship between parenting styles and the occurrence of sexual violence experienced by adolescents and young adults at some point in life. Methods: Validated instruments were applied to a population of university students to assess the presence or absence of sexual violence (Questionnaire on Exposure to Traumatizing Events) and parenting style Parenting Styles Inventory (PSI). The initial statistical analysis was descriptive and inferential, applying multivariate logistic regression and assessing the risk factors for sexual violence associated with parenting styles. Results: Of the 858 students who responded to the survey, 71 (8.3%) were the victims of sexual violence and 52 (73.0%) were female. The PSI showed that in victims of sexual violence, less protective styles predominate (p=0.002), with higher scores in the following practices: inconsistent punishment (p=0.003), negligence (p=0.001), negative monitoring (p=0.017), and physical abuse (p<0.001). The logistic regression shows that the chance of an individual being a victim increases by 11.0% with each increase in the score of negligence and 23.4% with each increase in the physical abuse score. As for positive monitoring, the chance of an individual being a victim decreases by 10.0% with each increase in the score (p=0.009). Conclusion: Parenting styles directly influence the possibility of sexual abuse occurring monitoring is a protective factor, while neglect and physical abuse (punishment) increase the individual’s risk of being a victim.

Authors: Ponte Iago Almeida da , Silva Bruno Bezerra da , Batista Lia Loiola Maia
Published: September 2024

Os serious games despontam como ferramentas de ensino que são jogos com um propósito para além do entretenimento, tendo como objetivo a melhoraria de algum aspecto do processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Frente a alta prevalência de doenças crônicas não transmissíveis na população brasileira, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar, por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, o potencial dos serious games como instrumento de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional. Para tanto, buscou-se nas bases de dados PubMed, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde e SciELO, artigos publicados nos últimos cinco anos, nos idiomas inglês e português. Um total de 63 estudos foram identificados, dos quais apenas dez atenderam aos critérios de inclusão e exclusão estabelecidos para esta revisão. A maioria dos estudos reportaram desfechos positivos com a utilização dos serious games como ferramenta educativa, encontrando efeitos positivos na retenção dos conhecimentos aprendidos sobre alimentação e nutrição, e a sua utilização se mostrou promissora como uma alternativa às metodologias de ensino tradicionais. Apesar disso, os estudos apresentaram limitações quanto a duração das intervenções e a representatividade do tamanho de suas amostras, indicando a necessidade de futuros estudos com delineamento metodológico que supram tais lacunas. A partir desta revisão, demonstra-se que abordagens gamificadas de educação nutricional parecem promissoras no contexto do processo de ensino-aprendizagem, mas que ainda carecem de padronização metodológica para que intervenções baseadas em serious games sejam validadas como instrumento de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional.

Published: September 2024

Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) is an innovative, incentive-based approach to natural resource management, where users of ecosystem services compensate landowners who protect, enhance, or restore these services through their land management decisions. The study on PES and livelihood improvement was guided by three objectives. That is, to: assess the implementation mechanisms for PES; determine the effect of PES on livelihood improvement; and explore the relationship between PES implementation and ecosystem improvement. A cross-sectional research design incorporating both quantitative and qualitative methods was used for the study. A total of 207 respondents participated in the research project. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire and interview guides. The information collected were analyzed using a statistical package for social sciences, version 22. The study found that PES implementation mechanisms included reforestation, biodiversity conservation, soil and water conservation measures, agroforestry, and forest landscape restoration. PES improved livelihoods, enabling households to pay school fees for their children, establish better housing facilities, managed food crises, accumulated savings, and covered medical expenses for the household members. A significant relationship was found between PES implementation and ecosystem improvement, with enhancements in community livelihoods at P<0.001, flood control and disaster risk reduction at P=0.001, soil loss and erosion reduction at P=0.003, water resources management at P=0.003 and conserved biodiversity at P=0.005. The study recommends implementing robust monitoring and evaluation systems to track PES program impacts on livelihoods in the Rwenzori region. It also highlights the need for fostering partnerships between government agencies, NGOs, local communities, and other stakeholders involved in PES initiatives. Training and capacity-building programs should be provided to equip local communities with the skills and knowledge needed to effectively participate in PES schemes. Active involvement of local communities in the design, implementation, and monitoring of PES programs is crucial for the promotion of livelihoods.

Published: September 2024

Cotton is one of the most important fiber crops of the world. Traditionally it has been the practice to carry out Grow-Out-Tests (GOT) to assess the genetic purity of hybrid seeds using morphological characters and is not always apparent and cannot be recognized easily. The recent developments in molecular biology have resulted in simple and easily assayable PCR based DNA marker techniques such as RAPD, ISSR and microsatellite markers which provide alternative approach for assessment of seed purity. Out of twenty-six primers only seven primers, namely BNL 2709, NAU 1190, BNL 3594, JESPR 297, NAU 1230, BNL 3995 and JESPR 151 were polymorphic between the parents for only five hybrids and were then used for genetic purity assessment of the five hybrids, namely NH 324, SVHH 139, RAHH 455, Super 971 BG II and NHH 715 and none of the 26 tested primers was suitable for assessing the genetic purity of Phule Suman hybrid. It can be concluded from the study that SSR markers are reliable, efficient and useful in discriminating the parental lines of the hybrids as well as for evaluating the genetic purity of hybrid seed lot. This will empower seed producers to screen and keep up adequate levels of genetic purity at every stage of seed production.
Isolation of T Cells Using Rosetting Procedures
Authors: Kanof Marjorie E.
Published: February 2016

This unit describes a procedure for separating T cells from other mononuclear cells by exploiting the unique ability of cells to bind to and form rosettes with sheep red blood cells (SRBC). This isolation method also allows recovery of the nonrosetting cell population (B lymphocytes, monocytes, and macrophages). Neuraminidase‐ and 2‐aminoethylisothiouronium bromide (AET)‐treated SRBC are used for rosetting because of enhanced binding to T cells. It should be noted that use of the rosetting technique to obtain purified T cells or purified non‐T cells by negative selection has largely been superceded by other techniques such as panning and immunomagnetic beads. © 2016 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Touch and go: nuclear proteolysis in the regulation of metabolic genes and cancer
Authors: Maneix Laure , Catic André
Published: February 2016

The recruitment of transcription factors to promoters and enhancers is a critical step in gene regulation. Many of these proteins are quickly removed fromDNAafter they completed their function. Metabolic genes in particular are dynamically regulated and continuously adjusted to cellular requirements. Transcription factors controlling metabolism are therefore under constant surveillance by the ubiquitin–proteasome system, which can degradeDNA‐bound proteins in a site‐specific manner. Several of these metabolic transcription factors are critical to cancer cells, as they promote uncontrolled growth and proliferation. This review highlights recent findings in the emerging field of nuclear proteolysis and outlines novel paradigms for cancer treatment, with an emphasis on multiple myeloma.
