Background

Mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae) are important arthropod vectors that are responsible for transmitting numerous pathogens of major diseases. Adult mosquito traps help in effective surveillance. In this study, we compared the efficacy of the Biogents® Sentinel (BGS) traps and CO2-baited CDC traps for adult mosquito collection within four sites in India.

Results

We found that BGS traps collected significantly more Culex quinquefasciatus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes (85.8% of the total catch) than CDC traps (14.9% of the total catch). We also conducted a follow-up experiment to study the effect of adding CO2 as bait along with the BG lure to determine if it increases the number of mosquitoes collected. The results showed that BGS traps with BG lure + CO2 collected significantly more mosquitoes (69.5% of the total catch) than BGS traps with BG lure only (30.5% of the total catch). Although BGS traps were developed for surveillance of Ae. albopictus (Skuse) and Ae. aegypti (L.), the traps collected more Cx. quinquefasciatus (Say.) than any other mosquito species.

Conclusion

BGS trap is an efficient surveillance tool, and it can be used as part of an integrated mosquito management program by public health officials in order to combat mosquito-borne diseases.
Ethan Frome's Poly Pessimism
Authors: Jackson Holly
Published: October 2024

This article explores the theory and practice of non-monogamy at the turn of the twentieth century across a range of texts, including anarchist periodicals, mainstream newspapers, and literary fiction. Moving from utopian to ambivalent representations of multipartner relationships, it turns to a canonical novel to explore a perspective we might call poly pessimism, which not only critiques monogamy but exposes the systems that make non-monogamous alternatives equally unlivable. Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome (1911) offers a blistering naturalist account of the constraints of monogamous marriage as the organizing institution of care work under capitalism, but the monstrous menáge à trois revealed at the novel's end suggests only the multiplication of domestic duty and the expansion of marriage and the private home rather than their abolition. Both in its sexual utopianism and its calls for the practical reconfiguration of home life and the economies of care, critical non-monogamy at the turn of the twentieth century holds an important position in a tradition of radical thought that connects antebellum socialisms to more recent liberation agendas.
Sexual dimorphism and the impact of aging on ball rolling-associated locomotor behavior in Drosophila
Authors: Soyam Gupta , Kannan Nisha N.
Published: October 2024

Insects exhibit a remarkable ability to interact with inanimate objects to facilitate essential behaviors such as foraging, reproduction, shelter building, and defense. In this study, we assessed whether Drosophila interacted with inanimate objects when they were suspended on their wings and provided with a thermocol ball (foam ball). Drosophila indeed exhibited ball rolling behavior. We further examined the sexual dimorphism in this ball rolling-associated locomotor behavior. We carried out a ball rolling assay using 3-day-old male and female w1118 flies and measured the duration for which the flies could roll the ball without dropping it within a 10 min period. The ball was returned to the flies whenever they dropped it, and we calculated the number of times the ball was dropped within the 10 min duration. Females exhibited a longer ball holding duration than males. We also observed a decrease in ball holding duration and an increase in the number of times the ball was dropped by 15-day-old male and female flies than their younger counterparts. These results suggest sexual dimorphism and age-dependent alterations in Drosophila ball rolling-associated locomotor behavior.
Effect of non-contact induction heating on HA coatings and bone cement, an ex vivo study
Authors: Kamphof Robert , Cama Dr. Giuseppe , Mesman-Vergeer Jeroen , G.H.H. Nelissen Dr. Rob , G.C.W. Pijls Dr. Bart
Published: October 2024

Background Prosthetic joint infection is a serious complication that can arise after total joint replacement surgery. When bacteria colonise an orthopaedic implant, they form biofilms that protect them from their environment, making them difficult to remove. Treatment is further complicated by a global rise of antimicrobial resistance. These protective mechanisms make treatment of prosthetic joint infection increasingly complex. Non-contact induction heating is an upcoming technology that uses heat to eradicate bacteria that are present on the surface of metallic implants. This study aims to provide insight into the feasibility of using non-contact induction heating on metallic implants that are in direct contact with other biomaterials, such as coatings composed of hydroxyapatite and bone cement composed of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Methods Characterisation of hydroxyapatite coatings and adhesion strength tests were conducted according to standards set by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO 13779-2). The fixation strength of acrylic bone cement was tested according to an adapted method from ISO. Results It was found that non-contact induction heating did not significantly affect the adhesion strength of hydroxyapatite coatings. In contrast to hydroxyapatite coatings, acrylic bone cement softened temporarily as the temperature exceeded the glass transition temperature (83.38 ± 10.88°C). However, the induction heating temperature had no significant effect on the fixation strength after the cement was allowed to cool down. Conclusion This study shows the feasibility of using non-contact induction heating up to 80°C when bone cement or ceramic coatings are present in contact with infected metallic implants.
TOP2DFVT: An Efficient Matlab Implementation for Topology Optimization based on the Finite-Volume Theory
Authors: Araujo Marcelo , Santos Júnior Arnaldo , Escarpini Filho Romildo , Lages Eduardo , Cavalcante Marcio
Published: October 2024

The finite-volume theory has shown to be numerically efficient and stable for topology optimization of continuum elastic structures. The significant features of this numerical technique are the local satisfaction of equilibrium equations and the employment of compatibility conditions along edges in a surface-averaged sense. These are essential properties to adequately mitigate some numerical instabilities in the gradient version of topology optimization algorithms, such as checkerboard, mesh dependence, and local minima issues. Several computational tools have been proposed for topology optimization employing analysis domains discretized with essential features for finite-element approaches. However, this is the first contribution to offer a platform to generate optimized topologies by employing a Matlab code based on the finite-volume theory for compliance minimization problems. The Top2DFVT provides a platform to perform 2D topology optimization of structures in Matlab, from domain initialization for structured meshes to data post-processing. This contribution represents a significant advancement over earlier publications on topology optimization based on the finite-volume theory, which needed more efficient computational tools. Moreover, the Top2DFVT algorithm incorporates SIMP and RAMP material interpolation schemes alongside sensitivity and density filtering techniques, culminating in a notably enhanced optimization tool. The application of this algorithm to various illustrative cases confirms its efficacy and underscores its potential for advancing the field of structural optimization.

Authors: Cheema Umaima , Fatima Tehreem , Bilal Muhammad , Nawaz Ayeza , Nadeem Huzaifa , Khalid Ammar
Published: October 2024

Introduction Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is considered a global health crisis. It results in injury to the brain from an external impact leading to severe disability, with higher incidence statistics recently observed in young adults and elderly individuals. Purpose The review aims to analyze current research findings explaining the prevalence, incidence, and demographics of such injuries stressing the need for enhanced prevention and management techniques. The pathophysiology involves a complex cascade of biochemical and cellular events, which results in necrotic-apoptotic neuronal cell death. Method The review synthesizes current research on TBI, highlighting epidemiological data, advanced diagnostics, and effective rehabilitation strategies like physical and cognitive therapy. Findings Traumatic Brain Injury is an important public health issue with high morbidity and mortality rates causing extreme damage to a person, such as comas, catatonic states for various years, or lifelong injury or demolition. Early diagnostic imaging techniques include CT, MRI, advanced neuroimaging methods, and blood-based biomarkers. In the acute setting, initial management is directed toward stabilizing and preventing secondary injuries and early mobilization. The goals of rehabilitation are to promote the highest level of functional independence and physical function, cognitive functions, and social integration. Conclusion This review highlights that the use of new rehabilitation technologies, such as VR-based and robot-assisted therapies, might lead to improved recovery. Long-term supportive care combined with community integration is mandatory for enhancing quality of life. A systematic multidisciplinary team approach and family support are needed for traumatic brain injury survivors.
„Zwycięstwo sławnej cudami w swoich obrazach…” Tradycje o cudownych ocaleniach miast południowo-wschodniej Rzeczypospolitej w czasie powstania Chmielnickiego
Authors: Błoński Jan J.
Published: October 2024

How do stories influence the lives of communities? How do they shape our identity and culture? The legend under study appears many times during the Khmelnytsky Uprising, although its individual versions may have differed slightly: when, after the beginning of the uprising, the Cossacks led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky moved towards Warsaw, along the way they besieged and plundered the cities they encountered, such as Drohobych. However, they did not always succeed – Lviv, Lublin, the monastery in Sokal or the chapel in Krasnobród were miraculously saved thanks to supernatural intervention. The work, which takes as its starting point the interpretation of the phenomenon of repeated and alike apparitions, is devoted to the analysis of reports on miraculous rescues of cities – to what extent can they be believed? How did they develop? Who and what did they serve? People sought comfort in these stories, used them to build the ideology of power and shape local identities. Thanks to the use of tools from the border of anthropology and history, it is possible to notice how stories, through their embodiment in religious rituals, influenced collective memory and formed the view of reality. The book is an attempt to answer the question concerning the origins of the nationwide Marian cult and the dynamics of old Polish social relations.
Per aspera ad astra. Listy Leona Cienkowskiego (1822–1887)
Authors: Zhvanko Liubov , Kibkało Dmytro
Published: October 2024

The book by scientists from Kharkiv is the first comprehensive study in Poland devoted to the life and scientific activities of Leon Cienkowski (1822–1887), one of the most outstanding biologists of the 19th century. Leon Cienkowski – microbiologist, botanist, traveller, "father of Polish biology", "Ukrainian Pasteur", discoverer of the anthrax vaccine in Eastern Europe and talented educator – holds an honorable place among Polish scientists who worked in times of the partitions, bringing fame to their non-existent homeland. His life is a path per aspera ad astra – a path through hardships and suffering to the recognition that he gained due to, among others, a phenomenal discovery at the Kharkiv Veterinary Institute. The authors were able to create a multi-threaded biography of Leon Cienkowski by analysing the letters that the scientist wrote to his Warsaw friend, Jerzy Aleksandrowicz. The publication contains an analysis of all 50 letters, so it is the first attempt to make them fully available to the world of science, which makes it unique. Based on this correspondence, the authors created a portrait of Leon Cienkowski in separation from his research, showed the "humanity of the scientist", described his genius, and imagined the "worlds" that the scientist created around himself. They showed him as a father and husband, a friend, and a man who loved life despite many adversities.

Collective work Guwerner – preceptor – nauczyciel. Szkice z historii edukacji w Polsce i Europie Zachodniej (XVII–XIX w.) [Governor – preceptor – teacher. Sketches on the history of education in Poland and Western Europe (17th–19th centuries)] was prepared by a wide circle of historians of culture and education. Among the authors are researchers from various research centers in Poland (Poznań, Toruń, Gdańsk, Lublin, Wrocław, Tarnobrzeg) and France (Bordeaux). The publication consists of fifteen articles presenting the role of teachers over the centuries – from the 17th century to the beginning of the 19th century. Diversified research on education and upbringing, both at home and at school, was presented from Polish and Western European perspectives. Research on the functions of professors and mistresses in institutions run by religious orders, where children from noble and magnate families often went, was also included. There is also a look at education outside Poland during the Grand Tour around Europe. The last part of the volume is devoted to the selected case of a teacher from France, whose diaries are a testimony to the cosmopolitan nature of education and the importance of the role of preceptors for the cultural changes at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Salomon Igel – zapomniany uczeń Kazimierza Twardowskiego
Authors: Konstańczak Stefan
Published: October 2024

Streszczenie
Salomon Igel (1889-1942) był jednym z kilku wypromowanych przez Kazimierza Twardowskiego doktorów psychologii, Zajmował się teoretycznymi podstawami psychologii wywodząc je wprost z filozofii. Stał na stanowisku psychologicznego funkcjonalizmu twierdząc, że zjawiska psychiczne są postrzegane zmysłowo. Za jedyny przedmiot psychologii uważał świadomość. Konsekwentne rozwijanie tego założenia doprowadziło go do próby sformułowania oryginalnej koncepcji filozofii elementów witalnych, która łączyła w sobie odkrycia epistemologii, psychologii oraz fizjologii. W jego dorobku znajdują się również prace z dydaktyki filozofii i psychologii. Zginął śmiercią samobójczą podczas wojny na terenie lwowskiego getta a wraz z nim przepadł cały jego dorobek naukowy i przygotowywane do publikacji wyniki jego najnowszych badań.

George Berkeley jako neoplatonik? – Wspólne podstawy wczesnej i późnej filozofii Berkeleya
Authors: Płoski Jakub
Published: October 2024

Późny okres filozofii Berkeleya, związany z publikacją Siris, niekiedy interpretuje się jako zerwanie z tezami okresu wczesnego – tzn. okresu twórczości obejmującego czas do opublikowania Trzech dialogów między Hylasem a Filonousem. W literaturze przedmiotu pojawiają się jednak wzmianki na temat komplementarności pism Berkeleya, pochodzących z różnych lat. Niniejszy artykuł stanowi próbę spojrzenia na system filozoficzny Berkeleya z obu okresów twórczości pod kątem jego podstawowych założeń metafizycznych. Użyty do tego zadania neoplatoński klucz interpretacyjny pozwala w odmienny sposób spojrzeć na niektóre jego elementy, np. zwrócić uwagę na gradualizm metafizyczny jako rdzeń systemu irlandzkiego filozofa. W tej optyce Berkeley staje się przede wszystkim zaangażowanym religijnie metafizykiem, dla którego namysł epistemologiczny stanowi jedynie dopełnienie filozoficznego projektu. Odwołania Berkeleya w Siris do tradycji neoplatońskiej, w myśl przeprowadzanej w artykule interpretacji, nie pełnią jedynie funkcji perswazyjnej (co postulują niektórzy komentatorzy), a wyrażają autentyczny sens filozofii Dobrego Biskupa. Przeciwstawienie wczesnego systemu Berkeleya (empiryzmu) oraz późnego (neoplatonizmu) okazuje się w tej interpretacji bezzasadne, ponieważ twierdzenia teoriopoznawcze uzasadnione są pewną wizją rzeczywistości, związaną z chrześcijańskim neoplatonizmem. Subiektywistyczne ujęcie czasu i przestrzeni nie jawi się wówczas jedynie jako postulat epistemologiczny, wypracowany na gruncie dyskusji z XVII-wieczną filozofią, a twierdzenie metafizyczne, centralne dla systemu myśliciela z Kilkenny.

Ludwig von Wolzogen and his Objections to Meditationes de prima philosophia
Authors: Gut Przemysław
Published: October 2024

The article presents one of the lesser known treatise produced within the Polish Socinian movement, written by Johann Ludwig von Wolzogen (ca. 1599-1661), under the title Breves in Meditationes Metaphysicas Renati Cartesii annotationes [Brief Notes on the Metaphysical Meditations of Rene Descartes]. It appeared in print in 1657 in Amsterdam and was ten years later reprinted in the series  Bibliotheca Fratrum Polonorum. In its entirety, the text is intended as a polemic against Descartes's views and written as a detailed commentary on the  Meditationes de prima philosophia. Here I intend to demonstrate that Wolzogen's treatise deserves a close scrutiny. First of all, it considerably contributes to our knowledge on the 17th century disputes around the Meditations on First Philosophy. Second, it represents  the first substantive and fairly extensive discussion of Descartes's philosophy to appear in the territory of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Third, it is a treatise issued from the milieu of the Polish Socinians (the Polish Brethren) that has been recognized by recent research as having exerted a non-negligible influence upon the development of the progressive European thought of the period, both in the domain of  theology and philosophy.
Muzea na skarpie. Refleksje na marginesie dziejów Muzeum Ziemi PAN w Warszawie
Authors: Tołysz Aldona
Published: October 2024

Muzea to nie tylko obiekty i ludzie, ale także miejsca, z którymi są związane. Muzeum Ziemi PAN w Warszawie mieści się w dwóch budynkach o wyjątkowej historii. Położone na skarpie wiślanej budowle stanowią inspirację do refleksji nad dziejami ogrodu na Frascati oraz działalności architektonicznej Bohdana Pniewskiego. Przede wszystkim przypominają dzieje dwóch instytucji, Muzeum Branickich, które dało podstawę Państwowemu Muzeum Przyrodniczemu oraz Muzeum Ziemi. Pierwsze z nich zostało zniszczone w czasie II wojny światowej, wraz z kolekcją zniknęło ono ze świadomości społecznej. Drugie, pomimo zniszczeń, dzięki determinacji Stanisława Małkowskiego zostało reaktywowane po 1945 r. Celem artykułu jest przypomnienie dziejów tych intuicji oraz łączących je budynków, które stanowią doskonały przykład lieu de memoire o wysokiej wartości historycznej i społecznej.
Where Do We Come From? Who Are We? Where Are We Going? Ethnographic Museology at the Crossroads of the 21st Century
Authors: Czachowski Hubert
Published: October 2024

The title of this paper, echoing a Gauguinesque sentiment, aims to trace the evolution of ethnographic museology from its 19th-century origins, through the paradigm shifts of the second half of the 20th century, to the present day—a period marked by significant changes in ethnology and anthropology. The central question is whether, and how, ethnographic museums should adapt to the profound transformations currently reshaping the field. Equally important is how to address the legacy of these institutions, particularly in light of the strong decolonising movements that have become dogma in contemporary anthropology. This concern is relevant even to Polish collections, which are largely non-colonial or colonial in a different sense.

Strategy Experiments in Nonexperimental Settings: Challenges of Theory, Inference, and Persuasion in Business Strategy
Authors: Adner Ron , Levinthal Daniel A.
Published: October 2024

We introduce two dimensions that help situate the approach to strategy as an exercise of theory building and experimentation. First, we consider whether a given experiment is repeatable or nonrepeatable: the extent to which the very undertaking of a given experiment will change how the world—consumers, competitors, ecosystem partners—will react to future experiments, even if identical to the original. Second, we consider whether a given experiment can be undertaken by a single actor or requires the joint effort and buy-in of other actors in the internal or external ecosystem of the firm, and, in turn, the extent to which persuasion becomes a critical role of theory. We show how these two properties—nonrepeatability and joint action—impact the nature of inference from strategic actions and the ability to benefit from learning. Further, these properties suggest a more deliberative calculus regarding the cost of experimentation and highlight the role of theory as a basis for both prediction and persuasion in the service of choosing how to initiate and learn from strategic acts in nonexperimental settings.
AVALIAÇÃO DA FREQUÊNCIA DO CONSUMO ALIMENTAR E DA MANUTENÇÃO DO EFEITO DA SUPLEMENTAÇÃO COM GLUTAMINA NA ATENUAÇÃO DOS SINTOMAS DE ASMA MODERADA EM CRIANÇAS, PÓS-WASH-OUT
Authors: Pietrobom Carlyle , Honicky Michele , Saciloto Mariana , Cavagnari Mariana Abe Vicente , Zattar João Paulo , Nodari Claudia , Melhem Angelica Rocha de Freitas
Published: October 2024

O objetivo do estudou foi comparar a frequência do consumo alimentar de crianças com asma moderada com a de crianças sem doenças respiratórias e avaliar a manutenção do efeito do imunomodulador glutamina na atenuação dos sintomas de asma, pós-período wash-out. Estudo de intervenção, longitudinal, realizado com crianças 2 a 7 anos de idade, constituído por três grupos: grupo caso glutamina, grupo controle com asma e grupo controle sem doença respiratória, com 15 crianças em cada. A avaliação clínica foi realizada por meio do Questionário ISAAC – Módulo Asma, antes do início da suplementação e em visitas mensais durante os quatro meses do estudo, e repetida após o período wash-out de seis meses. As crianças do grupo controle sem doença respiratória foram avaliadas (frequência alimentar) em um único momento. O consumo alimentar foi avaliado por meio do QFA adaptado. Houve diminuição significativa da pontuação ISAAC no grupo glutamina após quatro meses de suplementação [8,0 (1,46) x 4,0 (1,96), p<0,001], bem como no grupo controle com asma [8,67 (1,79) x 5,93 (2,28), p<0,001]. Após período wash-out, houve aumento significativo da pontuação e retorno dos sintomas da asma no grupo caso glutamina [4,0 (1,96) x 7,27 (2,02), p<0,001]. O consumo alimentar foi semelhante entre crianças com e sem asma, caracterizado por consumo diário de leite e baixo consumo de hortaliças, frutas e carne. O efeito benéfico da glutamina não foi mantido após o período wash-out.DOI: 10.12957/demetra.2019.37946
AVALIAÇÃO DE MEDIDORES CASEIROS COMERCIALIZADOS COMO INSTRUMENTO PARA ESTUDO NA ÁREA DE ALIMENTAÇÃO E NUTRIÇÃO
Authors: Serafim Thainá Loureiro , Freitas Maria Cristina Jesus
Published: October 2024

Considerando à grande variedade de marcas com diferentes materiais e formas de utensílios medidores, a carência de estudos, a importância e a confiabilidade de dados para estudos dietéticos, objetivou-se avaliar a capacidade de massa e volume de medidores caseiros. Tratou-se de um estudo experimental, realizado no laboratório de Técnica Dietética da UFRJ, onde foram adquiridos medidores caseiros comercializados no Rio de Janeiro, sendo 11 marcas de xícaras de chá (XCH) e 12 marcas de colher de sopa (CS), nos quais se realizou cinco aferições das capacidades gravimétricas e volumétricas. A massa foi determinada com a farinha de trigo e para o volume utilizou-se a água, densidade de 1,0 Kg/m3 a 4 ºC, como referência.  Os dados foram submetidos à estatística descritiva, a ANOVA e o teste de Tukey. A capacidade média de massa para as XCH e CS foi de 106,8 g e 6,8 g, respectivamente. As XCH e CS apresentaram volumes médios de 213,1 mL e 15,4 mL, respectivamente, com inadequação de 20 a 40% para as XCH, enquanto das CS foram de 7,4 a 16%, notoriamente de menor variação para ambas as capacidades. Detectou-se a não conformidade das capacidades dos medidores caseiros comercializados, com a recomendação nacional proposta pela RDC 359 de dezembro de 2003. Conclui-se há necessidade de uma legislação específica para padronização dos medidores comercializados, e por consequência controle por parte de órgãos fiscalizadores na fabricação e comercialização dos mesmos, a fim de evitar a imprecisão nas práticas em alimentação e nutrição pela população e profissionais das áreas afins.DOI: 10.12957/demetra.2019.37993

Published: October 2024

Objetivo: Analisar os conteúdos de posts sobre alimentação divulgados por influenciadoras digitais na rede social Instagram. Método: Estudo de caráter qualitativo realizado por meio de observação no período de junho a setembro de 2018. Foram analisados posts sobre alimentação e nutrição de três influenciadoras identificadas como A, B e C, que foram submetidos ao programa Iramuteq e analisados por meio da classificação hierárquica descendente. Em seguida, foram analisadas as três publicações com maior número de comentários e curtidas, assim como a interação dos seguidores a partir dos comentários e as hashtags mais evidentes no período da coleta. Resultado: Após a análise, foram obtidas hierarquicamente cinco classes de palavras: “saúde”, “pq”, “receita”, “dieta” e “misturar”, resultantes dos discursos das influenciadoras. Nos comentários analisados, observou-se grande interação dos seguidores, visto que estes tomam as influenciadoras como modelo de inspiração. Em relação à análise das hashtags, constataram-se conteúdos publicitários, o que caracteriza patrocínio. Discussão: O estilo de vida evidenciado pelas influenciadoras no Instagram se dá através de uma alimentação denominada saudável, e que para ter saúde, é necessária uma dieta baseada em determinados componentes alimentares, através de receitas ou preparações que fazem parte do perfil alimentar. Além disso, as influenciadoras apresentam relação com determinadas marcas de produtos alimentícios. Conclusão: A análise dos perfis permitiu entender que suas publicações superestimam a saúde no sentido estético, reforçando algumas práticas alimentares, produtos dietéticos entre outros, atuando como importante formador de opinião para os seguidores em relação a alimentação e aspectos de consumo.DOI: 10.12957/demetra.2019.39076
Justiça socioambiental para gestão integral de riscos de desastres
Authors: Lacerda Luiz , Machado de Freitas Carlos
Published: October 2024

Desastres mostram-se cada vez mais cotidianos nos diferentes contextos sociais. Informes do Painel Intergovernamental pelo Clima (IPCC, 2021), anunciam a inexorável relação da ação humana sobre esse cenário ofertando prognósticos preocupantes para os próximos anos. Vozes de diferentes campos científicos e sociais, principalmente dos povos originários e tradicionais, clamam por uma mudança paradigmática que leve a reconhecer a Terra como organismo vivo interrelacionado com toda a humanidade. Por sua vez, o que percebemos do modus operandi vigente é o agravamento destes impactos climáticos e ao aumento dos bolsões de pobreza. Arguimos que os desastres são a manifestação última de um fenômeno complexo e latente, vinculado a consolidação das vulnerabilidades sobrepostas. Para os devidos fins, contextualizando o campo dos desastres, conceituamos determinada perspectiva de vulnerabilidade, aportando princípios da Justiça Socioambiental  que podem auxiliar na Gestão Integral dos Risco. Estes princípios estão diametralmente relacionados com práticas e cosmopercepções dos povos originários.
Ambivalências no acesso à água por comunidades tradicionais do Nordeste
Authors: Gonçalves José Erivaldo , O. Diniz Paulo Cesar , Costa André Monteiro
Published: October 2024

Este artigo analisa as ambivalências em relação ao acesso à água por parte de comunidades e populações diretamente afetadas pela transposição do rio São Francisco. A partir da abordagem de Bauman (1999), ambivalência é entendida como a contingência resultante da busca incessante pelo ordenamento e racionalização modernos. Trata-se de um estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa. Os dados foram obtidos a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas e discutidos com base nas categorias de acesso, segundo Fekete (1997). O planejamento para que as comunidades tenham acesso à água, tem sido operacionalizado de forma restrita, ao mesmo tempo, onerosa economicamente, além de se impor uma reconfiguração organizacional e sociocultural dessas comunidades. Por fim, se já tem dificuldade de acesso em relação ao consumo e uso doméstico, no que se refere ao uso produtivo, não há nenhuma perspectiva de acesso à água pelas comunidades.
Questão ambiental, apropriação de terras e emergência de novos sujeitos políticos no Brasil contemporâneo
Authors: Servolo de Medeiros Leonilde
Published: October 2024

No Brasil, a emergência da questão ambiental tem uma forte interface com o surgimento de novos temas e sujeitos políticos no meio rural e com as manifestações contemporâneas da questão agrária. No artigo, busco fazer um apanhado das relações que foram se constituindo entre a apropriação da terra, as lutas das populações que nelas vivem e a progressiva articulação dessas lutas com as questões ambientais. Iniciamos com uma contextualização histórica e, na sequência, exploramos a formação de novos sujeitos políticos e identidades em torno dos usos da terra. A seguir, abordamos os impasses contemporâneas dos conflitos fundiários e ambientais frente à expansão do agronegócio, da financeirização e do processo de incorporação de terras.

Dimensão educativa do serviço social na política de proteção de base em Angola: o caso do Lar de Infância Kuzola em Luanda
Authors: Francisco Gaspar Issenguele Isaías , Chedian Pimentel Rosalinda
Published: October 2024

O presente artigo busca refletir sobre a dimensão educativa do Serviço Social na política de proteção social que, embora não seja uma missão impossível, é bastante complexa, devido às suas múltiplas determinações, especialmente no contexto angolano. E a reflexão surge do interesse em compreender melhor como ela se efetiva nesta realidade, especificamente no Lar de Infância Kuzola, partindo da lógica de compreender a universalidade para alcançar a singularidade que é o território angolano, o nosso atual espaço de intervenção como assistente social. Mesmo com limitações, essa reflexão se baseou na teoria do materialismo histórico-dialético de Marx e é resultado de uma pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. A análise indica que a inserção do assistente social na política de proteção social, através da dimensão educacional-pedagógica, especialmente a emancipatória, ao mesmo tempo em que produz e reproduz a ideologia vigente, pode proporcionar um espaço para conscientizar a classe trabalhadora sobre a necessidade da luta contínua por seus direitos, bem como a de romper com esse sistema degradante, empreendendo uma ruptura revolucionária rumo à emancipação humana.

A eugenia no trato das expressões da questão social e no Serviço Social brasileiro
Authors: Alves dos Santos Gabriela
Published: October 2024

Este artigo aborda o racismo e o patriarcado na constituição da questão social no Brasil e a influência da eugenia no Serviço Social brasileiro. Por meio de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental, sustenta-se a concepção de que raça e gênero são elementos constitutivos da questão social no Brasil e que a eugenia foi um aporte no trato das suas expressões, com rebatimentos ao exercício profissional. O estudo situa o Serviço Social como produto histórico das relações sociais capitalistas e destaca as manifestações do conservadorismo na gênese da profissão, marcado pela eugenia. Atualmente, o Serviço Social se posiciona radicalmente a favor da construção de uma nova ordem societária e defende sua vinculação às lutas mais amplas de enfrentamento a todas as formas de exploração e opressão.

Authors: Da Silva Guimarães Jacqueline Tatiane , Nascimento Fiel Luís Sidney , Coutinho Monteiro Linda Gabrielle
Published: October 2024

Abordamos sobre a atuação do assistente social e a proteção da infância na Amazônia brasileira, tendo como lócus o município de Cametá/PA, que concentra famílias ribeirinhas e quilombolas. Esta pesquisa, realizada desde 2020, articulou trabalhos de modo virtual e presencial. Partimos de levantamento bibliográfico e documental e posteriormente visitas institucionais, entrevistas semiestruturadas e grupos focais realizados pelo Google Meet e aplicação de questionários via Google Forms. Alcançamos 20 profissionais, incluindo assistentes sociais, conselheiros tutelares, pedagogos e outros. O texto está organizado em três momentos: A natureza do trabalho do profissional do Serviço Social e as suas potencialidades, possibilidades e os encontros da profissão com as políticas de proteção da infância e, por fim, Cametá e os desafios enfrentados pelos assistentes sociais e pela rede de proteção da infância. Verificamos que se faz urgente a constante contratação, formação e qualificação de profissionais para que possam estar presentes nas diferentes políticas públicas, da mesma forma que se faz necessário o fortalecimento da rede de órgãos de proteção dessa infância.
Soberania Sequestrada: fome e pobreza haitiana como construções sociopolíticas de atores estrangeiros
Authors: Exime Ethol , Alves Barbosa Filho Evandro
Published: October 2024

A fome e a pobreza no Haiti devem ser analisadas a partir dos problemas econômicos, das guerras políticas, das intromissões internacionais e da alta soma monetária paga pela independência do país em 1825 à França. Tais aspectos têm contribuído para atual situação: um país mergulhado em uma crise política, econômica e social. O objetivo deste artigo é o de analisar a permanência evolutiva da fome sob a ótica das intromissões externas contra a liberdade política haitiana. Trata-se de uma discussão teórica do tipo ensaio baseada nas principais ideias de autores como Fleischmann Ulrich, Michel-Rolph Trouillot, Ricardo Seitenfus. Amartya Sen, Vanessa Braga Matijascic; Susan Stanford Friedman, Frantz Rousseau Déus, Arturo Escobar, Mohammed Ayoob e Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Conclui-se que o povo haitiano e as instituições haitianas devem aprender a lidar com seus problemas cotidianos sem intromissões externas e que o respeito pela soberania de um país independente deve ser mantido.
Periodontitis and chronic kidney disease: A bidirectional relationship based on inflammation and oxidative stress
Authors: Martínez Nieto Melissa , De Leon Rodríguez Martha Leticia , Anaya Macias Rocio del Carmen , Lomelí Martínez Sarah Monserrat
Published: October 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and chronic periodontitis (CP) are prevalent conditions which significantly impact public health worldwide. Both diseases share inflammatory and oxidative stress mechanisms, an indication of a likely bidirectional relationship. This editorial explored the association between CKD and CP by highlighting common inflammatory mechanisms and recent research findings that address this interrelationship. Through reviews of recent studies, we discussed how periodontal bacteria may activate systemic immune responses that affect both periodontal and renal tissues. Additionally, meta-analysis data indicated an increased risk of CKD development in patients with CP, and vice versa. The results suggest the need for more rigorous research in the future in order to address the confounding factors and evaluate specific periodontal health interventions and their direct effects on kidney function. We emphasized the importance of comprehensive and multidisciplinary care for the improvement of the overall health of patients affected by CP and CKD.
Gut microbiota changes associated with frailty in older adults: A systematic review of observational studies
Authors: Wen Na-Na , Sun Li-Wei , Geng Qian , Zheng Guo-Hua
Published: October 2024

BACKGROUND

Frailty is a complex aging-related syndrome characterized by a cumulative loss of physiological reserve and increased vulnerability to adverse clinical outcomes, including falls, disability, incapacity and death. While an increasing number of studies suggest that the gut microbiota may play a key role in the pathophysiology of frailty, direct evaluation of the association between gut microbiome alterations and frailty in older adults remains limited.

AIM

To gain insight into gut dysbiosis in frail older adults.

METHODS

Seven electronic databases (China National Knowledge Infrastructure, VIP, SinoMed, Wanfang, PubMed, Web of Science and EMBASE) were searched for articles published before October 31, 2023 to identify observational studies that compared the microbiomes of older adults with and without frailty. The diversity and composition of the gut microbiota were the main outcomes used to analyze the associations of changes in the gut microbiota with frailty in older adults. The quality of the included studies was assessed via the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality.

RESULTS

Eleven observational studies with 912 older adults were included in this review. Consistent results revealed a significant difference in the gut microbiota composition between frail and non-frail older adults, with a significant decrease in α diversity and a significant increase in β diversity in frail older adults. The pooled results revealed that at the phylum level, four microbiota (Actinobacteria , Proteobacteria , Verrucomicrobia and Synergistetes ) were significantly enriched, and two microbiota (Firmicutes and Fusobacteria ) were significantly depleted in frail older adults. At the family level, the results consistently revealed that the abundances of 6 families, most of which belong to the Actinobacteria or Proteobacteria phylum, were greater in frail than in non-frail older adults. At the genus or species level, consistent results from more than two studies revealed that the abundances of the genera Prevotella , Faecalibacterium, and Roseburia were significantly lower in frail older adults; individual studies revealed that the abundances of some genera or species (e.g. , Megamonas , Blautia , and Megasphaera ) were significantly lower, whereas those of other genera or species (e.g. , Bifidobacterium , Oscillospira , Ruminococcus and Pyramidobacter ) were significantly greater in frail older adults.

CONCLUSION

This systematic review suggests that changes in the gut microbiota are associated with frailty in older adults, which is commonly reflected by a reduction in beneficial species and an increase in pathogenic species. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
"Clothe you his body, he will help to apparel your mind": Imitation and Narcissism in Cynthia's Revels
Authors: Hui Isaac
Published: October 2024

abstract: This study examines the relationship between imitation and narcissism in the early modern period through a rereading of Ben Jonson's Cynthia's Revels . Contrary to modern psychoanalytic understanding that a close connection exists between imitation and narcissism, imitation, as a method of translation and creation, in the early modern period does not relate to narcissism; in fact, they can be viewed as opposing concepts. To explore the relationship between imitation and narcissism and to establish a connection between the two concepts in psychoanalysis, this study uses the works of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan. Through an analysis of characters, Criticus and Amorphus, in Cynthia's Revels , this study reveals that, while Criticus often imitates classical authors such as Horace, Seneca, and Juvenal, he is not regarded as a narcissist. Contrastingly, characters such as Amorphus are portrayed as narcissistic, though they only quote Latin idioms and do not imitate them. Their behavior is mimicry, a superficial imitation without substance. This article then rereads the portrayals of Criticus and Amorphus from a modern-day psychoanalytic perspective, suggesting that Criticus can be perceived as narcissistic and that Amorphus can be seen as a force of satire instead of a satirized target.
Mastery of the Self: European
Moral and Political Thought in A
Mirror-For-Princes by Eochaidh
Ó hEódhasa
Authors: ó Corráin Ailbhe
Published: October 2024

I have three main aims in this article. The first is to offer a normalised text accompanied by an English translation of Deacair innreamh na hóige , a poem of moral and political advice by Eochaidh Ó hEódhasa which has not previously been translated nor been the subject of critical appraisal. My second aim is to offer a close reading of the poem in order to illuminate the main ideas, arguments and attitudes that it embodies. My third concern, and that which informs the title of the article, is to argue that the values and preoccupations of the poem are characteristic of European mirrors-for-princes as a whole and reveal the extent to which this bardic poet was influenced by European moral and political thinking in general.
Fictive Pouting: Moralistic Suicide and Werther-Emulation in Eighteenth-Century German Literature
Authors: Donarski Brian
Published: October 2024

abstract: With attention to theories of affect, morality, and narrative empathy, this article investigates author and reader identification in eighteenth-century literary emulations of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Die Leiden des jungen Werthers . Considering Émile Durkheim's sociological theory of suicide insufficient for classifying literary suicides of the eighteenth century, I propose a definition of moralistic suicide in which individualistic protagonists choose death as a means of preserving virtue. I argue that moralistic suicides appeal to readers by providing an imaginary model for emulation. By witnessing a moral death through literature, readers may inhabit exhibited righteousness and engage with characters in a form of fictive pouting.
Women Clerical Elite in Safavid Iran: Revisiting the Categorisation of Women in Safavid Society
Authors: Dezfouli Fahimeh Mokhber
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT: The Safavid era witnessed the convergence of Shi'ism with political governance, reshaping Iran's societal and cultural landscape. European travellers of the time often depicted women as subordinate and deprived of educational opportunities, yet historical evidence reveals a more nuanced reality. Scholarly analysis, notably by Ferrier, categorises women into commoners and elites, overlooking the significant role played by women from the households of Shi'ite scholars. These women, including wives and daughters of prominent scholars, received education within familial settings and emerged as influential jurists and theologians. A revision of Ferrier's categorisation is proposed, emphasising two distinct groups within the elite: court women and those from scholar households. Women from scholar households played pivotal roles in disseminating Shi'ite teachings through academic gatherings, educational initiatives, and scholarly works, often published anonymously due to social constraints. This study reevaluates the status of women in Safavid society, particularly those associated with Shi'ite scholars, shedding light on their substantial contributions to socio-cultural transformations.
Ayatollah Hādī al-Mudarrisī: 'A Journey into the Depths of Space and Time'
Authors: Buckley R.P.
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT: The present article discusses the theory at one time advanced by Ayatollah Hādī al-Mudarrisī (1945-) regarding the Prophet's night journey ( isrāʾ ) and ascension through the heavens ( miʿrāj ) and outlined in his book al-Miʿrāj: Rihlah fi ʿumq al-Faḍā wa al-Zamān ( The Miʿrāj: A Journey into the Depths of Space and Time ). It focuses on al-Mudarrisī's novel understanding of the burāq , the riding animal on which Muhammad is said to have undertaken his miraculous journey and which al-Mudarrisī uses to solve many of the problems which arise when maintaining that the isrāʾ / miʿrāj was a transport of the body rather than being some kind of vision or dream. This is placed within the context of arguments, originally advanced over one thousand years ago, for and against a corporeal journey and which draw from science and technology.
