Authors: Martinez-Vargas Valerie , Malhotra Neha R. , Presson Angela P. , Vargo Daniel J. , Smith Brigitte
Published: September 2019

This article was migrated. The article was not marked as recommended. Background: Medical education has long recognized the importance of competence in high value care (HVC) but only recently have these concepts been codified. Comprehensive HVC curricula in surgery have not been reported and little is known about graduates' perceptions of HVC education. Our objective was to investigate the perceptions of surgery residency graduates regarding education in HVC and its importance in clinical practice. Methods: Our General Surgery graduates (2012-2016, n=23) were surveyed regarding perceptions of HVC education they received during training and the importance of HVC in their current practice. Results:Thirteen of the 23 graduates responded (57%). While only half of respondents reported receiving instruction in HVC during residency, all reported participating in quality improvement (QI) projects. A minority (n=5, 38%) felt that they had adequate knowledge and skills to lead a QI effort in practice. The majority, however, agreed that knowledge and practical skills in HVC are important to their clinical practice (92%, 77% respectively). Conclusion: General surgery graduates value knowledge in HVC concepts in their current practice, however, most do not feel they possess the knowledge and skills to lead QI efforts. Given that QI work is valued in practice, our results suggest a need to improve HVC education in residency.

Dünyada biber yetiştiriciliğini sınırlayan en önemli hastalıklardan birisi, kök boğazı yanıklığıdır. Bazı başka türlerde olduğu gibi Capsicum annuum L. türüne ait farklı genotiplerde de etmene karşı dayanıklılık kaynakları mevcuttur. Dayanıklılık düzeyi farklı biber genotiplerinin genetik ilişkilerinin belirlenmesi, dayanıklılık ile ilgili gen/genlerin kültür çeşitlerine aktarılması açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, P. capsici’ye karşı dayanıklılık düzeyi ve orijini farklı 12 dayanıklı ve 4 duyarlı biber genotipin filogenetik ilişkileri SRAP (Sequence Related Amplified Polymorphism) ve SSR (Simple SequenceRepeat) moleküler belirteçleriyle belirlenmiştir. Bunun için, 144 SRAP primer kombinasyonu ve 27 SSR primer çifti kullanılmıştır. Otuz iki SRAP primeri herhangi bir PCR ürünü vermemiştir. Elli primer kombinasyonunda yalnızca monomorfik DNA bantı oluşurken 31 primer kombinasyonu polimorfizm sağlamış toplam 254 DNA fragmenti elde edilmiş, bunların, 99’u (%39) monomorfik, 155’i (%61) polimorfik DNAbandı olarak değerlendirilmiştir. SRAP belirteçleri ile 16 biber genotipi birbirinden genetik olarak ayrılmıştır. SSR primerinin 15’i monomorfik bant oluşturmasına karşın 12 SSR primeri ile toplam 36 DNA bandı elde edilmiş bunların 33'ü (%93) polimorfik olmuştur. SSR belirteç sistemi ile 16 biber genotipinin bazıları (PM-217 KM2-11, Perennial LS-279, PBC-178, Sera Demre, PBC 179 KMAE-12) birbirinden ayrılamamıştır. SRAP ve SSR belirteç verileri birlikte değerlendirildiğinde, genotiplerin genetik ilişkisi, orijine göre kümelemesi daha bilgi verici olmuştur. P. capsici’ye karşı dayanıklılık genitörü olarak kullanılan CM 334'den, PM 702, Perennial, PM-217, Tayvan'da temin edilen PBC grubu (1364, 1365, 178, 179 ve 413) ile Kahramanmaraş biber populasyonundan selekte edilen KM211genotipleri genetik olarak farklı gruplarda yer aldığı belirlenmiştir.
Mesenchymal stem cells from bone marrow regulate invasion and drug resistance of multiple myeloma cells by secreting chemokine CXCL13
Authors: Zhang Guihua , Miao Faan , Xu Jinge , Wang Rui
Published: September 2019

Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic cancer arising from plasma cells. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a heterogeneous cell population in the bone marrow microenvironment. In this study, we evaluated the regulatory effects of MSCs on the invasion and drug resistance of MM cells U266 and LP-1. Bone marrow samples from MM patients and normal subjects were collected. MSCs were extracted from bone marrow and cultured, and their phenotypes were identified by flow cytometry. The level of CXCL13 in the supernatant of cultured MSCs was detected by ELISA. The protein expression of CXCR5 (a specific receptor of CXCL13) in U266 and LP-1 cells was detected by Western blot. The effects of MSCs on the invasion of U266 and LP-1 cells and the resistance to bortezomib were assessed by Transwell and CCK-8 assay, respectively. The mRNA and protein expressions of BTK, NF-κB, BCL-2, and MDR-1 were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. CXCL13 was secreted by MSCs in the bone marrow microenvironment, and the level in MSCs from MM patients was significantly higher than that of healthy subjects. CXCR5 was expressed in both U266 and LP-1 cells. The resistance of MM cells to bortezomib was enhanced by MSCs through CXCL13 secretion. The invasion and proliferation of U266 and LP-1 cells were promoted, and the mRNA and protein expressions of BTK, NF-κB, BCL-2, and MDR-1 were upregulated by MSCs. The basic biological functions of MM cells U266 and LP-1 were affected by MSCs via the CXCL13-mediated signaling pathway. This study provides valuable experimental evidence for clinical MM therapy.

Integration of Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in an EFL Course: Perceptions of Students and Teachers
Authors: Mede Enisa , Gunes Gokalp
Published: September 2019

While the use of
appropriate linguistic features of the target language is essential for
successful communication, sociocultural factors also play a crucial role.
Intercultural communicative competence (ICC) is one dimension of sociocultural
awareness that has been recognized as integral for communicative competence. However,
the integration of ICC in second/foreign language classrooms remains a
challenge, possibly due to the fact that language educators tend to have more
knowledge about the target language than its related cultural aspects
(Celce-Murcia, 2007). This study, therefore, aims to find out the perceptions of
students before and after integrating ICC in an elementary level English
course. The study also attempts to reveal the reflections of the teacher
offering this course about using ICC while teaching English. The participants
were 20 Turkish EFL students and their teacher. The quantitative data were
collected through pre- and post- ICC scale, while the qualitative data came
from students’ semi-structured interviews and teacher’s reflective journals.
The findings revealed that there were significant differences in the
perceptions of the participants after the integration of ICC, which increased
their awareness about different cultures, their own culture as well as the
role of culture in language learning. Similarly, the teacher shared positive
reflections about ICC-driven module in English classrooms apart from some
difficulties experienced related to the speed of the videos and selected
topics. The obtained findings offered pedagogical implications and suggestions
about the inclusion of ICC in EFL classrooms.
СONFUCIAN PRINCIPLES IN THE PRACTICE OF STATE MANAGEMENT IN THE PERIOD OF REFORMS AND OPENNESS
Authors: Chzhen V.
Published: September 2019

The article reveals the historical stages of the use of the Confucian principles in the system of public administration in the People's Republic of China during the period of reforms and openness and its positive consequences in the case of modernization reforms. It is shown that conversion to Confucianism as an ideological and value-based belief system, which is historically traditional for the Chinese society, was caused by the discrepancy between the preserved official Marxist ideology and the contemporary need for the development and modernization of the society. The implementation of Confucian ideas into the practice of state administration served as an effective vaccination against the spread of Western, liberal values which was possible, in the conditions of the market functioning, and the connected with its formation of a civil society separate from the state. It also served as an effective tool for ensuring social stability in the transitive period. The consequence of this was the strengthening of the social mobilization of the people of the People's Republic of China and the consolidation of Chinese society.
Іdentification Of Gasoline In Altered Mixture With Diesel Fuel
Authors: Rudniev V. , Kliuiev O. , Uhrovetskyi O.
Published: September 2019

The methodological approach to identification of gasoline with an admixture of diesel fuel was presented. The approach involves using of gas chromatography–mass-spectrometry analysis of altered mixture. An algorithm of gas chromatography profile treatment includes analysis of extracted ion chromatogram for searching of polyaromatic hydrocarbons with 2 to 4 aromatic ring, mostly naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene and pyrene derivatives. The complex of specified components can be used as indicator of gasoline presence in mixture in the case if its chromatographic profile by total ion chromatogram is typical for diesel fuel. Obtained results show in common high similarity of chromatographic profile of altered diesel fuel and gasoline with small admixture (0.25 vol.%) of diesel fuel. A wrong identification results may be obtained without taking into account presence of pointed polyaromatic hydrocarbons. Such complex cannot be found entirely in pure diesel fuel in initial or altered state because its components are below or about of limit of detection. Determined limit of detection for polyaromatic hydrocarbons (naphthalene, phenanthrene, anthracene, pyrene) is 1.8-2.2 μg/ml.

Authors: Kurochkin V.D. , Romanenko O.M.
Published: September 2019

A mathematical model was developed for calculation of types and intensities of molecular interferences and simulation of mass-spectra at GDMS analysis of non-conducting samples with the use of a secondary cathode. An improved design of the cell with Ta-secondary cathode were suggested enhancing the matrix to tantalum ion current ratio and sensitivity of the analysis in ca. 1.5 orders of magnitude. The model have been used for interpretation of complicate mass-spectra of calcium carbonate naturally doped with REE, phosphates and other impurities. Comparison calculated and experimental mass-spectra of VG9000 instrument demonstrates good agreement and allows select the most suitable isotopes and rejecting wrong molecular peaks. It have been shown that electrons in glow discharge plasma have different temperatures in different zones that reveals itself as separate Boltzmann populations of ionization levels for molecules, metal atoms and argon atoms/ions. Calcium carbonate is widely used for many application including as precursor for nano-hydroxyapatite synthesis. Calcium carbonate was precipitated from natural mine waters and was used as model object having high number of various impurities allowing to investigate the impact of complicate molecular ions, determine necessary resolving power of the GD-instruments to meet required detection limit.
Imagining the Comprehensive Mattering of Black Boys and Young Men in Society and Schools: Toward a New Approach
Authors: CAREY RODERICK L.
Published: September 2019

In this essay, Roderick L. Carey draws from social-psychological perspectives on mattering to argue that Black boys and young men have yet to achieve comprehensive mattering in social and educational contexts. Positing that Black boys and young men find their social and school lives framed by marginal mattering, which is realized through social and educational practices that criminalize, dismiss, and propel them into school failure, and partial mattering, where only some of their skills and abilities are cultivated and heralded, Carey contends that due to neoliberal reforms and stakeholders' structural incapacities to imagine and do otherwise, educators fail to construct contexts in which Black boys and young men can robustly infer their comprehensive mattering. Thus, educators and researchers miss relational opportunities to support Black boys and young men in imagining alternative lives that compel their fullness of interests, latent talents, and subsequent worth.

O Terceiro Setor compreende as atividades voluntárias realizadas pela sociedade civil voltadas para o atendimento do interesse público. O objetivo da pesquisa foi identificar os principais fatores que influenciam na prestação de contas das Organizações da Sociedade Civil de Interesse Público (OSCIP) das entidades situadas no Estado do Rio Grande do Norte. Foi realizada uma pesquisa descritiva, na qual se utilizou como instrumento para a coleta de dados um survey direcionado aos gestores das 38 entidades qualificadas como OSCIP e que possuem o registro no portal do Cadastro Nacional de Entidades Sociais do Ministério da Justiça (CNES/MJ). Os resultados demonstraram que 50% das instituições não possuem os relatórios de prestação de contas disponíveis no portal CNES/MJ, apesar dos gestores entenderem a prestação de contas como uma forma de continuarem percebendo recursos. No que tange aos fatores identificados como passíveis de influenciar na prestação de contas, verificou-se que as entidades que possuem mais tempo de qualificação têm algum órgão específico dentro da organização e que o fato de ter uma contabilidade interna favorece a prestação de contas. Outro achado importante é que na percepção dos respondentes, o prazo estipulado para a prestação de contas é insuficiente comprometendo a adimplência por parte das entidades.Palavras-chave: Terceiro Setor. Prestação de Contas. OSCIP.Abstract The third sector comprises voluntary activities carried out by civil society aimed at meeting the public interest. The objective of the research is to identify the main factors that influence the accountability of Civil Society Organizations of Public Interest (OSCIPs) of entities located in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. A descriptive research was carried out in which a survey was conducted as a tool for the data collection directed to the managers of the 38 entities qualified as OSCIPs and that have the registration in the portal of the National Register of Social Entities of the Ministry of Justice (CNES / MJ). The results showed that 50% of institutions do not have the reporting reports available on the CNES/MJ portal, although managers see accountability as a way to continue to perceive resources. Regarding the factors identified as capable of influencing the accountability, it was verified that the entities that have more qualification time have some specific organ within the organization and that the fact of having an internal accounting favors the rendering of accounts. Another important finding is that in the respondents’ perception, the deadline for accountability is insufficient, jeopardizing compliance by the entities.Keywords: Third Sector. Accountability.

Pessoas com Deficiência no Trabalho: Análise da Percepção de Pessoas sem Deficiência
Authors: Ré Renata , Rodrigues Marilsa De Sá
Published: September 2019

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo identificar a concepção da percepção de pessoas sem deficiência sobre pessoas com deficiência (PcD), e sua interação no contexto de trabalho. A pesquisa de natureza descritiva teve como instrumentos o Inventário de Concepções de Deficiência em Situações de Trabalho (ICD-ST) e entrevista semiestruturada, em pessoas sem deficiência. A amostra foi composta por 37 alunos, dos cursos presenciais de Pós-Graduação da UNITAU, que trabalham com PcD. Os resultados obtidos da relação desses alunos com os PcDs apontam que o constructo “normalidade” foi o mais pontuado, demonstrando dessa maneira que há uma tendência de exclusão social das PcD; porém é importante para as empresas contratarem PcD, pois obtêm benefícios para sua imagem. Nas entrevistas, apesar da interação demonstrar boa qualidade, conclui-se na integração dos dados coletados que a visão das pessoas sem deficiência, que prevalece sobre as PcD, é a de que deveriam se manter segregadas, não tanto pelas suas limitações, mas principalmente, conforme relatado, que as organizações procurando cumprir as Cotas determinadas por lei, se esquecem da necessidade de adaptações e sensibilização para melhor recebê-las nas organizações.Palavras-chave: Pessoa com Deficiência. Inclusão. Organização.Abstract The present work has as objective to identify the conception of the perception of people without disability about people with disability (PcD), and their interaction at work context. The research of descriptive nature had as instruments the Inventory of Conceptions of Disability at Work Situations (ICD-ST) and half-structured interview, with people without disability. The sample was composed of 37 students, from the classroom courses of Post-Graduation of UNITAU, who work with PcD. The results obtained from the relationship between these students and PcDs, point out that the construct “normality” was the most pointed one, showing thus, that there is a tendency of social exclusion of PcD; however, it is important to the companies, to hire PcD, because they obtain benefits to their images. During the interviews, despite the interaction showed good quality, it could be concluded that on the integration of the collected data the vision of people without disability, which prevails over the PcD, is that they should remain segregated, not so much by their limitations, but mainly, as related, because the companies trying to accomplish the Quotas defined by law, forget the need of adaptations and awareness to better receive them at the companies.Keywords: People with Disabilities.

Authors: Ritonga Budiman , Ariyanta Kadek Deddy , Darmajaya I. Made
Published: September 2019

Mature sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) are uncommon neoplasm comprised of mixed elements derived from three germ layers. They attract attention because of their gross appearance and bizarre histology. Tumor of the sacrococcygeal region, referred to as sacrococcygeal teratomas (SCTs) in most reports, generally present in two distinct fashions: neonates with large predominately external lesions, which are detected in utero or at birth and are rarely malignant; and older infants and children who present with primarily hidden pelvic tumors with a much higher rate of malignancy. Sacrococcygeal teratomas are the most common extragonadal tumor in neonates, accounting for up to 70% of all teratomas in childhood. A 3 to 4:1 female to male ratio is generally reported. Surgical resection remains the mainstay of therapy and recurrence is rare following complete excision. A 14 years old girl was presented to us by her parents with a mass at the buttock since birth. She was delivered at home by traditional midwife after a term, unsupervised pregnancy to a 35 years old woman. Both pregnancy and delivery were uneventful. Direct rectal examination revealed a mass has displaced the recto-sigmoid anteriorly. The CT scan revealed a heterogenous mass with a solid, cystic, and multiple classification density at the anterior of coccygeus bone, and push the coccygeus to the posterior. The mass infiltrated the subcutis, and attached to the posterior aspect of rectum. A 14 years old girl presented by mature SCT since newborn comprising ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm tissue. She had a complete surgical excision (including coccygectomy) with primary wound closure. A complete surgical excision remains the mainstay of therapy of mature SCT.

Authors: P. Swarnalatha , S. Rajasekhar Reddy , B. Chaitanya
Published: September 2019

Background: Ovarian tumours account for one of the top five gynaecological malignancies in Indian women. The prime objective of the current study is to document the frequency, age distribution and diverse histomorphological spectrum of ovarian tumours in a peripheral institute in South India catering rural population.Methods: The study comprises of retrospective clinico pathological evaluation of 77 cases of ovarian neoplasms in Indian Red Cross Cancer Hospital, Nellore, India during a 4 year period ( January 2015 to December 2018 ). Non neoplastic ovarian lesions were excluded. Gross and microscopic histopathological examination was done for ovarian neoplasms. These were classified according to the WHO classification of ovarian tumours (2003).Results: Out of 77 cases studied, majority were malignant  tumours (72.72%), followed by benign (23.38%) and borderline tumours (3.9%). Age ranged from 11-80 years. Epithelial tumours were the most common (75.32%), followed by sex cord stromal tumours (12.98%), germ cell tumours (9.09%) and metastatic ovarian tumours (1.3%). Serous cystadenoma was the commonest benign tumour and serous papillary carcinoma was the commonest malignant ovarian tumour.Conclusions: It is concluded from this study that on morphological grounds, tumours originating from surface epithelium are the most common. Higher incidence of malignant tumours supports the metaphor often used for ovarian malignancy “ the silent killer ”.

Published: September 2019

Background: Febrile illness in elderly patients in hospitals is a challenge to the physician for diagnosis and treatment due to high morbidity as well as mortality and it increases if the febrile illness is prolonged. So proper evaluation and effective management is necessary for a better outcome. Keeping in mind the scarcity of studies in elderly febrile illness in India this study was taken up.Method: A prospective study was designed in medical ICU of S.C.B Medical college and Hospital, Cuttack Odisha, India. 50 patients were included in this study from July 2007 to December 2008. Institutional Ethics Committee cleared the study.Results: In 50 elderly (Age>60 yrs) patients of prolonged febrile illness, 36 (72%) were male and 14 (28%) were female. All had fever for >21 days. Pallor was the commonest sign (62%). 30 patients had infectious etiology, 15 had malignancies. Tuberculosis was the commonest infection (28%) comprising of 46.66% of infectious etiology with Pulmonary Tuberculosis (PTB) in 20% and Extrapulmonary Tuberculosis (ETB) in 26.66%. Malignancies accounted for 30% of cases with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) in 33.33% being the commonest amongst the malignancies. On follow up of 50 patients 21 (42%) got cured.Conclusion: Febrile illness in elderly needs carefully evaluation as infections account for  most of the cases and Tuberculosis in our part of India as a major cause in these patients is treatable. Malignancies remain the second most common cause where timely intervention goes a long way in reducing morbidity and mortality.
Role of intraoperative arthrogram in decision making of closed versus medial open reduction of developmental hip dysplasia
Authors: A. Ahmed Amin , Fadel Mohie El Din
Published: September 2019

Background: Hip arthrography in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) has the advantages of viewing the shape and size of the cartilaginous part of both the femoral head and acetabulum, besides the soft tissue obstacles. The aim of the work was to assess the role of arthrogram in evaluation of closed reduction of developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Methods: This prospective study included 30 patients with 36 involved hips who presented with DDH. This study included 7 males (23.3%) and 23 females (76.7%). There were 6 patients with bilateral hip involvement (20.0%) and 24 patients with unilateral involvement (80.0%). In this study we used 3 ml Urografin 76% diluted in 7 ml saline and 3 to 5 ml of diluted Urografin was injected into the hip joint.

Results: Out of the 36 hips, closed reduction was successful in 33 hips (91.7%) and failed in 3 (8.3%). After the interpretation of the arthrogram we considered the reduction of 7 (21.2%) reduced hips nonconcentric because of the soft tissue obstacles. In the 7 hips with nonconcentric reduction besides the 3 hips with failed closed reduction, we proceeded to open reduction of the hip through medial approach. At the end of follow up, all hips (100%) showed concentric reduction without re-dislocation in any case.

Conclusions: Hip arthrogram is a very reliable method in diagnosing hip concentricity and the presence of soft tissue obstacles in management of DDH by closed reduction. Arthrogram helps the operator to decide open reduction in such cases achieving excellent results in all cases.

Making Sense of a Changing Neighborhood: Art Students’ Experiences of Place Explored Through a Material-Discursive Analytical Lens
Authors: Coemans Sara , Vandenabeele Joke , Hannes Karin
Published: September 2019

Sensory research approaches are often used to study the relationship between people and their living environment. The type of data collected in such research projects poses analytical challenges. How do we best make sense of a body of visual, auditory, tactile data? How do such data contribute to our knowing? In this paper, we propose and illustrate an analytical apparatus for studying the complex entanglement of discursive and material aspects of sensorial experiences related to place. Place-interactive methods such as sensory go-along interviews with art students and voice-giving procedures through the making of art works formed the basis for the analysis.
Staging the Shadow: Writing, Academic Subjectivities, and Hidden Selves
Authors: Hoben John Lionel , Badenhorst Cecile , Pickett Sarah
Published: September 2019

In this paper we explore our writing selves through the metaphors of concealment and display. We discovered the metaphoric possibilities opened up by Jung’s notions of persona and shadow and his emphasis on a rich psychic life that was animated by archetypes and symbolic meaning. This process helped us to glimpse alternative selves, that somehow live within us but are, like the shadow, neglected or pushed aside either due to institutional pressures to conceal or due to our own self-concept and our preferences for displaying certain identity types. Using poetic inquiry to access our unconscious feelings, we engaged in a process of writing that resulted in poetry and poetic vignettes. This type of arts-based practice helped us to disrupt the normative rationalist expectations surrounding academic work and intellectual production, and enabled us to create a space where agency and self-exploration were more accessible and transformative.
Notas sobre biopolítica: organicismo e politicismo antecedentes a Michel Foucault
Authors: De Freitas Felipe Sampaio , Barros Roberto De Almeida Pereira de
Published: September 2019

O termo biopolítica se tornou conhecido principalmente após Michel Foucault. Desde sua morte, são quase quarenta anos de ressignificações deste termo. A idéia central deste artigo é mostrar ao leitor alguns dos percursos dos quais o termo biopolítica tomou antes da recepção feita pelo filósofo francês, como as questões “organicista” e “politicista”, proposta por Thomas Lemke em seu livro Biopolitics: an advanced introduction (2011). A primeira parte do artigo tratará principalmente do caso de Rudolf Kjellén, cientista político sueco, considerado o primeiro a fazer uso do termo. A segunda parte mostrará como o termo tomou uma nova forma a partir das décadas de 1960 e 1970, quando fora interpretado sob moldes ecológicos e tecnocêntricos. Por fim, irá se elucidar como o termo se desenvolveu em algumas obras de Foucault, bem como de sua diferença para com as idéias anteriores.
Contratualismo e biopoder
Authors: Menezes Luiz Maurício Bentim da Rocha , Godoy Maria Elizabeth Bueno de
Published: September 2019

A teoria do contrato social teve forte recepção no pensamento filosófico moderno e podemos atribuir à filosofia política de Thomas Hobbes o amadurecimento e disseminação dessa teoria, de grande contribuição para o pensamento político posterior. Partindo de um problema do direito natural, Hobbes irá identificar a vontade ilimitada de poder nas paixões humanas e a disputa constante entre os homens no estado de natureza. Será partindo dessa observação que ele verá a necessidade de um poder superior que regule essas paixões. O Estado é fruto desse poder, que terá sua gênese na paixão do medo da morte violenta, existente em todos os homens. Visto isso, será o medo que levará os homens a cederem seus poderes (direito a todas as coisas) através de um contrato que irá permitir a formação desse poder maior que é o corpo político (Estado). Dessa forma, o Estado adquire a soberania e o poder soberano sobre os corpos naturais dos homens, tendo, portanto, o poder sobre a vida deles. Será o poder da soberania, oriundo do referido contrato e da sujeição dos homens a esse poder, que Foucault irá criticar através de seu conceito de biopoder.
A gênese da eugenia e algumas reflexões contemporâneas
Authors: Almeida Maria Eneida de
Published: September 2019

RESUMO: Este artigo destina-se a compreender as condições históricas da emergência da eugenia original, consolidada pela sociedade do século XIX, com um papel relevante na estruturação do Estado moderno capitalista, quando passou a ser uma ideologia individual, social, nacional, ocidental e científica. No século oitocentista, as relações de poder entre sociedade, Estado e ciência e os impactos na vida social e individual moldaram um mundo sob novos padrões baseados no paradigma social-darwinista, em um momento da história que se moldava um novo mundo e uma nova sociedade. Para esta pesquisa foi utilizado o método genealógico de Foucault, onde o saber é uma peça do mecanismo das relações de poder de uma sociedade e o corpo é um instrumento de dominação, e o sentido histórico dá a possibilidade de discriminar e delimitar os fatos originais da época em estudo. É com esta forma de olhar que buscamos esclarecer a emergência da eugenia no século XIX, sob uma ideia, palavra, conceito, ideologia e, ao final, a legitimidade da ciência eugênica. As considerações finais sublinham que entender a gênese da eugenia é essencial para se observar sua recorrência na contemporaneidade, visto que vivemos uma re-emergência eugênica – a nova eugenia, frente aos avanços da biotecnologia que busca possibilitar a longevidade, a cura para inúmeras doenças e, no limite, a “perfeição” humana, há séculos acalentada pela humanidade. Diante deste fato, o debate de grandes pensadores da biotecnologia contemporânea aponta algumas contradições inerentes a este processo.

Partindo da pesquisa bibliográfica em livros, documentos e páginas da internet, a pesquisa foi construída em seis etapas, além da introdução, a saber: a primeira introduz o leitor ao biopoder foucaultiano, com a finalidade de lançar luz sobre o conteúdo e apontar os rumos do estudo; A segunda, trata do sistema de seleção dos corpos que devem viver e daqueles que devem morrer; Enquanto a terceira, trata das análise que Foucault faz sobre três cidades, na obra “Em Defesa da Sociedade”; A quarta etapa deste trabalho, da conta da Capital mineira, um breve histórico de seu surgimento; Na penúltima etapa, encontra-se uma analise sobre as consequências para a cidade de Ribeirão das Neves, através do biopoder, presente nos interesses da administração do Estado, acerca da construção da nova capital. Por fim, nas considerações finais, concluiu-se que é uma hipótese plausível, embora a afirmação categórica dependa de pesquisa mais detalhada, que aponte as relações entre políticos da época e interesses de grupos específicos em Ribeirão das Neves e Belo Horizonte. No entanto, não restam dúvidas do quanto a Capital mineira se estabeleceu a partir do biopoder.

Published: September 2019

Introduction: Evaluation provides truly useful information about the effectiveness of the educational programs. Kirkpatrick model provides a four-level training evaluation framework (reaction, learning, behavior, and results). The present research aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a workshop on “social determinants of health” held for the health staff of a medical center in Bandar Abbas Province, in the South of Iran.
Methods: In the present research, a training workshop was held on social determinants of health for 40 staff of a medical center. Later, this workshop was evaluated based on the Kirkpatrick training evaluation model and a researcher-constructed questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data in SPSS-19.
Results: The participants' mean scores of satisfaction (reaction), learning, and behavior were 41.47±4.34, 14.9±1.93, and 10.72±3.8, respectively. The overall effectiveness (reaction, learning and behavior) was evaluated as optimal. The most effective items in reaction, learning, and behavior levels were awareness-raising, better performance of tasks at work, and use of the acquired content in monitoring work, respectively.
Conclusion: Staff training to provide them with job-related practical knowledge not only satisfies them, but also improves their professional learning and performance. Kirkpatrick training evaluation model needs to be applied to other staff training programs at four levels of reaction, learning, behavior, and results. Those who develop and implement training courses need to be acquainted with these constructs.

Published: September 2019

This paper presents the authors research about the opportunity to develop digital and media competencies of future teachers using contemporary children and teen press. Short historical review of the impact of the periodic press on education is done. New digital environment gives new opportunities for both teachers and students to develop their ways of communication and to enrich the teaching and learning process. The teachers could proceed the education process outside the classroom, developing critical, logical, creative and analytical thinking. Students by themselves could create variety digitally based media to express knowledge and positions. In such a way, together with implication of media education, we have natural impact on the level of studentsâ€™ digital skills. Some results from a survey of 160 studentsâ€”future primary school teachers concerning their attitude to children and teen press as educational tool are presented. Some tendencies are outlined, and conclusions are formulated.

Keywords: Media education, primary school, children and teen press as educational tool.
Evaluation of the Perception of Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes Instrument in an At-Risk, Nondiabetic Population
Authors: Shah Lisa L. , Perkhounkova Yelena , Daack-Hirsch Sandra
Published: September 2019

Background and Purpose: This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Perception of Risk Factors for Type 2 Diabetes (PRF-T2DM), an instrument designed to measure awareness and vulnerability to diabetes and diabetes risk factors. Methods: 248 individuals at increased risk for diabetes because of a positive family history completed the PRF-T2DM. The factor-structure, internal consistency reliability, and construct validity of the PRF-T2DM were examined. Results: The 2-factor structure of the PRFT2DM was a good fit to our data. Overall Cronbach's alpha was .68. Pearson correlation between PRF-T2DM score and overall risk perception was significant (r = .26, p < .001). Replies to individual items supported the validity of the PRF-T2DM. Conclusion: The PRF-T2DM performed modestly in this population. Refinement in scoring and score interpretation may improve reliability and validity of the instrument.
Owls Are Good at Keeping Secrets: An Unusual Alphabet by S. O'Leary
Authors: Aitken Leslie
Published: September 2019

O’Leary, Sara.  Owls Are Good at Keeping Secrets: An Unusual Alphabet. Illustrated by Jacob Grant. Tundra Books, 2018.

From first to last, the phonic examples in O’Leary’s alphabet book are disarming:

                “Aa

                Alligators think you’d like them if you got to know them.”

                “Zz

               Zebras would like to be first. Just once.“

Unlike so many other authors of this genre, O’Leary rarely struggles to find simple, memorable examples of words that begin with the appropriate vowels and consonants. The sole exception in his work is the use of “Chipmunks” to illustrate the sound of the letter “C.” Child readers would have to be mature enough to recognize the digraph (ch) and be alert to its sound. That exception being noted, all of the other phonic illustrations—even the ones for the “difficult” sounds—are straight-forward, playful and engaging.

                “Qq

                Quail get quite tired of being told to be quiet.”

                “Uu

                Unicorns believe in themselves.

                “Yy

                Yaks giggle at their own jokes.”

Joseph Brant’s illustrations are all that they ought to be: large, clear, colourful and, most importantly in this type of book, unambiguous. His depiction of voles for the letter “V” is particularly endearing. Those of us involved in the field of children’s literature might want this illustration and its motto on our flag:

                “Vv

                Voles always want just one more book.”

In any case, we should ensure that this delightful book is on our children’s library shelves.

Highly recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Leslie Aitken

How mamas love their babies by J. Fitzgerald & E. Peterson
Authors: Adams Alexandra
Published: September 2019

Fitzgerald, Juniper, and Elise Peterson. How mamas love their babies. The Feminist Press at the City University of New York, 2018.

The first children’s book from sociology PhD Juniper Fitzgerald and artist-activist Elise Peterson, How Mamas Love Their Babies gently approaches an intersectional understanding of motherhood, while also connecting the many shared experiences of becoming and being a mother.

Peterson creates a beautifully layered environment to accompany Fitzgerald’s bold, yet simple text. By overlaying colourful multimedia collage techniques with black and white retro photographs, the illustrations are dynamic and textured. The bright, engaging page design is inviting and makes this a wonderful selection for art educators looking for literacy tie-ins.

This book is notable for its acknowledgment and celebration of the many ways mothers work, love and care for their babies. Fitzgerald draws upon her personal experiences labouring in the sex industry to bring forward a unique space within the text by including parents whose work may be stigmatized. In doing so, she underlines the importance of ensuring children can find themselves, their caregivers and communities represented respectfully within the pages of a book.

A powerful, inclusive and decisively feminist addition to any children’s collection or storytime, Fizgerald and Peterson encourage readers to welcome, value and honour the presence of all mothers in the lives of their children and communities.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os níveis de tolerância das sementes de angico-branco ao estresse hídrico e salino simulados por polietilenoglicol 6000 (PEG 6000), manitol e KCl. As sementes foram coletadas de nove matrizes no município de Colombo - PR e armazenadas em câmara fria a 5 ºC. Para a avaliação da germinação sob estresse hídrico foram utilizadas soluções de PEG 6000 e manitol, e sob estresse salino, soluções de KCl nos seguintes potenciais osmóticos: 0,0 Mpa (testemunha), -0,6 MPa, -0,8 MPa, -1,0 MPa, -1,2 MPa e -1,4 Mpa. As sementes foram dispostas em gerbox e acondicionadas em câmaras de germinação, sob luz constante à temperatura de 25 ºC. Foram avaliados a porcentagem e o índice de velocidade de germinação. As sementes de angico- branco apresentaram moderada tolerância ao estresse hídrico simulado por PEG 6000. A porcentagem de germinação foi afetada drasticamente a partir de -1,0 MPa e, a velocidade de germinação a partir de -0,6 Mpa. O manitol não foi eficiente na simulação de estresse hídrico, pois não reduziu a porcentagem de germinação em nenhum dos potenciais testados. Sob estresse salino, simulado por KCl, a porcentagem de germinação foi afetada a partir do potencial -1,2 MPa, caracterizando limite elevado de tolerância a este sal.

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito de bactérias diazotróficas nos componentes de produção de cana-de-açúcar infectadas pelo raquitismo das soqueiras causado por Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli. O ensaio foi conduzido na Estação Experimental de Paranavaí, PR, no ano de 2010. Os tratamentos foram constituídos de plantas do genótipo SP77-5181 inoculadas com: 1. Azospirillum brasiliense estirpe AbV5 + Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli; 2. Herbaspirillum seropedicae estirpe SmR1 + Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli; 3. H. seropedicae estirpe HCC103 + Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli; 4. Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli; 5. Todas as bactérias (A. brasiliense estirpe AbV5 + H. seropedicae estirpes SmR1 e HCC103 + Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli);  6. Testemunha sem inoculação. Foram realizadas as avaliações de: POL, toneladas de POL por hectare, teor de fibra, massa de 1 colmo, número de colmos por metro, estatura, diâmetro de colmos e toneladas de cana por hectare. A detecção do patógeno foi realizada pelo método Dot blot. O delineamento utilizado foi de blocos ao acaso, com três repetições. Verificou-se que H. seropedicae estirpe SmR1, mostrou-se como controlador biológico potencial à colonização de Leifsonia xyli subsp. xyli, baseando-se em evidências como aumento da massa dos colmos. Aparentemente a bactéria A. brasiliense estirpe: AbV5 não causou efeitos detectáveis nos componentes de produção avaliados.
