SUPEREXPLORAÇÃO E RESISTÊNCIA DOS TRABALHADORES(AS) TERCEIRIZADOS NA AGROINDÚSTRIA “4.0” DE EUCALIPTO, CELULOSE E PAPEL EM TRÊS LAGOAS (MS)
Authors: Oliveira André Luis Amorim de
Published: January 2023

O uso de trabalho terceirizado é uma estratégia do capital que, no Brasil, tem se adensado entre os mais diversos setores econômicos ditos modernos, isso devido às vantagens e os retornos financeiros que esse tipo de atividade proporciona aos capitalistas, notadamente pelo seu custo mais baixo e pelas demais características próprias do trabalho terceirizado, sinônimo de precarização. No setor do agronegócio essa modalidade de trabalho também vem ganhando terreno, como é o caso da silvicultura em Três Lagoas (MS). Mais do que uma atividade precária, segundo nossa hipótese, a força de trabalho terceirizada é superexplorada, visto que, é um dos meios que, junto com o aparato científico e tecnológico que a empresa investe pesadamente, garante a reprodução do capital em Três Lagoas. Contudo, para os terceirizados, isso significa enfrentar os “mecanismos” típicos de economia dependente. Desse modo,procuramos demonstrar que as atividades terceirizadas no setor de celulose e papel corroboram, em certa medida, os apontamentos da Teoria Marxista da Dependência. Para tanto, recorremos à identificação de certos aspectos relacionados não só ao quantitativo de terceirizados, mas às suas condições de trabalho, bem como as formas de resistência e luta destes no bojo do capitalismo dependente representado pela expansão do agronegócio de silvicultura.

The daily lives of the world population were impacted and went into crisis mode due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which, as of November 2019, has taken over us. The changes in everyday behavior have generated consequences in all aspects of life hindering the labor, education, and recreational sectors. The COVID-19 pandemic has led us to analyze and rethink relevant or predominant factors for choosing a home. The workplace, location of the best schools, safety, and economic aspects are of great influence when it comes to choosing a home. During this past year, not all of these factors played a role since we have been forced to continue with all of our activities from home. But what happened to the population that did not consider space, ventilation, and even access to fresh air or recreation when choosing their home? Where the economic factor, as well as access to work and/or school environments, have always prevailed. With this in mind, a survey was performed in the Dominican Republic with the intent of discovering the effects of spaces, electronic devices, and access to basic services during the COVID-19 pandemic, which are crucial for current telecommuting and distance learning processes.

Health problems often arise in the community unnoticed and known causes. This happens because of the low public knowledge about health in the community. These health problems that often arise include high rates of pain including in the oral cavity. Optimal oral health is a balance between physical factors, emotional factors, and social factors. One of them that is quite widely found to occur is oral cancer. Oral cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide with a higher incidence rate in men than women. Based on RISKESDAS in 2013 showed the prevalence of cancer in Indonesia is increasing over the age and the highest prevalence is at the age of ≥75 years. Abnormalities and deaths caused by oral cancer are still high. Some of the reasons raised are mainly due to the lack of early detection and identification in high-risk groups, as well as the failure to control primary lesions and cervical lymph node metastases, for which early detection is necessary. Community service activities organized are also related to government programs, namely PHBS programme in the Family Order through Health Promotion activities. The purpose of this community service activity is also to increase public awareness of the importance of behaving clean and healthy in the family order that can be started teaching through the provision of oral health education. The method of community service activities carried out is health counseling to the community via online session.

The Left Behind: Precarity, Place and Racial Identity in the Contemporary ‘Serious Drama’
Authors: Martin Daniel
Published: January 2023

After the channel's initial rebranding as a streaming-only platform in 2016, BBC Three produced a number of critically successful single dramas which marry the broadcaster's public service remit with the channel's youth-centred identity and new mode of delivery. These programmes continued the tradition of the ‘serious drama’, adopting the single play format in order to represent contemporary social problems via the experiences of younger people. The 2019 drama The Left Behind is an example of this recent form of serious drama and is the subject of a case study in this article. Set in a former mining town in Wales, The Left Behind's subject matter addresses the intersection between the precarity found in Britain's post-industrial regions and the rise of hate crime and nationalist sentiment in recent years. This article asserts that, faced with the often essentialising frameworks through which this intersection and its terms have been produced, The Left Behind offers a complex imagining of how race, geography and precarity inform each other. In particular, the article pays close attention to the drama's textural construction of space and place. I consider how space and place are represented as the material sites in which the tensions of post-industrial classed and ethnicised identities are experienced, and I suggest that it is The Left Behind's particular engagement with space, made possible by its existence as an online serious drama, that allows it to convey these dynamic tensions.

Dördüncü Dünya Kadın Konferansı’nda ulusal mekanizmaların kadın odaklı hareket seyrinin tartışmaya açılması, ana akımlaştırma stratejisinin bir yönetişim metodu olarak ulusal ve uluslararası gündeme taşınmasını sağlamıştır. Kadınların güçlendirilmesi amaçlayan Pekin Eylem Platformu, kadın – erkek arasındaki eşitliğin bir insan hakları meselesi; sosyal adaletin önemli bir şartı ve aynı zamanda kalkınma ve barışın vazgeçilmez bir önkoşulu olduğunu hatırlatarak, hükümetlere ve diğer aktörlere toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğini tüm politika alanlarına yerleştirme konusunda açık çağrıda bulunmuştur. Bu düzlemde de kadınların ilerlemesini yaygınlaştıracak politikaların düzenlenmesi, uygulanması, yürürlüğe konması, izlenmesi, değerlendirilmesi, savunulması ve desteğin harekete geçirilmesi yönünde beklentiler dile getirilerek, tüm bunları üstlenecek ulusal mekanizmaların heterarşik dizge içerisinde işlerlik kazanabileceği bir yönetişim modelinin kurgulanması gerektiği belirtilmiştir. Çalışmamız bu düzlemden hareketle Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti özelinde ana akımlaştırma stratejisinin portresini çizmeye çalışacaktır. Bu bağlamda kurumsal yapı olarak inşa edilen Toplumsal Cinsiyet Eşitliği Dairesi’nin yönetişim alanındaki işlevi değerlendirilerek, devlet feminizminin gelişimine bağlı olarak yasallaşan bu yönetimsel alanın eşitliği kurumsallaştırma ve eril düzeni dönüştürebilmedeki yetkinliği tartışmaya açılacaktır.

Otobiyografi, bir kişinin kendi yaşam öyküsüdür. Kaynak kendisi, kendi deneyimleri, kendi tarihi ve kendi hikayesidir. Edebi bir tür olarak bildiğimiz otobiyografi, plastik sanatlarda karşılığı olan bir tanımdır. Sözcükler renge, taşa, çamura döner, bazen de sanatçının bedeni, portresi araç olur, sanatın öznesi sanatçının kendisidir artık. Sanatçının kendisiyle kurduğu bu ilişki, sanat tarihinde kendini otoportreleriyle göstermiştir. Çağdaş sanatta ise sanat yapıtı ile sanatçı arasındaki ilişki, sanatçının kendini tüm bedeniyle kattığı performanslarla başka bir boyuta taşınmıştır. Eserler ile sanatçı arasındaki ilişki, sanatçının kendi hayatının gerçekliğinin yansımasıdır. Sanat eseri, sanatçının kendini yorumlamada kullandığı bir araca dönüşür ve gerçeği kabul etmenin bir yolu olarak kendini gösterir. Bu çalışmada, sanat tarihi boyunca erkekler kadar değer göremeyen sanatçı kadınlar üzerinden, sanatçıların kendi öykülerindeki konumları araştırılmıştır.
Mary Wollstonecraft’ın Koruyucu Liberarizmi: Adalet ve Özen Etiği
Authors: Coşkuner Aktaş Selda , Çiçek Birgül
Published: January 2023

Çağdaş feminist akademisyenler, adalet ve bakım teorileri arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmeye çok dikkat ettiler, ancak erken dönem feminist yazarların fikirlerine çok az ilgi gösterdiler. Mary Wollstonecraft'ın eşsiz katkısını vurgulamak için politik felsefesini çağdaş adalet/bakım tartışmalarına taşıyorum. Genellikle klasik bir liberal veya cumhuriyetçi düşünür olarak yorumlansa da, Wollstonecraft daha iyi bir feminist özen düşünürü olarak anlaşılır. Bakım görevlerinin önemini vurgulayarak liberal toplumun devrimci bir dönüşümünü hedeflemiştir. Bununla birlikte, bazı yeni feminist bilim insanlarının aksine, adalet için hala önemli bir rolün farkındaydı. Kişisel bakım verme faaliyetlerinin politik olanı dönüştürmeden önce,adaletin kişisel bakım ilişkilerine taşınması gerektiğini savunmuştur. Dolayısıyla Wollstonecraft'ın siyaset felsefesi, adalet ve özen teorilerini sentezlemek için feminist bir model sağlar ve özen perspektifini içeren klasik liberal ve cumhuriyetçi fikirlerin yenilikçi bir şekilde yeniden formüle edilmesini temsil eder.

A major challenge in the field of metagenomics is the selection of the correct combination of sequencing platform and downstream metagenomic analysis algorithm, or “classifier”. Here, we present the Metagenomic Evaluation Tool Analyzer (META), which produces simulated data and facilitates platform and algorithm selection for any given metagenomic use case. META-generated in silico read data are modular, scalable, and reflect user-defined community profiles, while the downstream analysis is done using a variety of metagenomic classifiers. Reported results include information on resource utilization, time-to-answer, and performance. Real-world data can also be analyzed using selected classifiers and results benchmarked against simulations. To test the utility of the META software, simulated data was compared to real-world viral and bacterial metagenomic samples run on four different sequencers and analyzed using 12 metagenomic classifiers. Lastly, we introduce “META Score”: a unified, quantitative value which rates an analytic classifier’s ability to both identify and count taxa in a representative sample.

Published: January 2023

Background: Theranostic nanoparticles with both imaging and therapeutic capacities are highly promising in successful diagnosis and treatment of advanced cancers.

Methods: Here, we developed magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) loaded with 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and surface-decorated with polyethylene glycol (PEG), and epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) aptamer (Apt) for controlled release of 5-FU and targeted treatment of colorectal cancer (CRC) both in vitro and in vivo. In this system, Au NPs are conjugated onto the exterior surface of MSNs as a gatekeeper for intelligent release of the anti-cancer drug at acidic conditions.

Results: Nanocarriers were prepared with a final size diameter of 78 nm, the surface area and pore size of SPION-MSNs were calculated as 636 m2g−1, and 3 nm based on the BET analysis. The release of 5-FU from nanocarriers was pH-dependent, with an initial rapid release (within 6 h) followed by a sustained release for 96 h at pH 5.4. Tracking the cellular uptake by flow cytometry technique illustrated more efficient and higher uptake of targeted nanocarriers in HT-29 cells compared with non-targeted formula. In vitro results demonstrated that nanocarriers inhibited the growth of cancer cells via apoptosis induction. Furthermore, the targeted NPs could significantly reduce tumor growth in immunocompromised C57BL/6 mice bearing HT-29 tumors, similar to those injected with free 5-FU, while inducing less side effects.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that application of Apt-PEG-Au-NPs@5-FU represents a promising theranostic platform for EpCAM-positive CRC cells, although further experiments are required before it can be practiced in the clinic.
Acute infection with Brachyspira hyodysenteriae affects mucin expression, glycosylation, and fecal MUC5AC

Introduction

Infection with strongly β-hemolytic strains of Brachyspira hyodysenteriae leads to swine dysentery (SD), a production-limiting disease that causes mucohemorrhagic diarrhea and typhlocolitis in pigs. This pathogen has strong chemotactic activity toward mucin, and infected pigs often have a disorganized mucus layer and marked de novo expression of MUC5AC, which is not constitutively expressed in the colon. It has been shown that fucose is chemoattractant for B. hyodysenteriae, and a highly fermentable fiber diet can mitigate and delay the onset of SD.

Methods

We used lectins targeting sialic acids in α-2,6 or α-2,3 linkages, N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc), α-linked L-fucose, and an immunohistochemical stain targeting N-glycolylneuraminic acid (NeuGc) to investigate the local expression of these mucin glycans in colonic tissues of pigs with acute SD. We used a commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to quantify fecal MUC5AC in infected pigs and assess its potential as a diagnostic monitoring tool and RNA in situ hybridization to detect IL-17A in the colonic mucosa.

Results

Colonic mucin glycosylation during SD has an overall increase in fucose, a spatially different distribution of GlcNAc with more expression within the crypt lumens of the upper colonic mucosa, and decreased expression or a decreased trend of sialic acids in α-2,6 or α-2,3 linkages, and NeuGc compared to the controls. The degree of increased fucosylation was less in the colonic mucosa of pigs with SD and fed the highly fermentable fiber diet. There was a significant increase in MUC5AC in fecal and colonic samples of pigs with SD at the endpoint compared to the controls, but the predictive value for disease progression was limited.

Discussion

Fucosylation and the impact of dietary fiber may play important roles in the pathogenesis of SD. The lack of predictive value for fecal MUC5AC quantification by ELISA is possibly due to the presence of other non-colonic sources of MUC5AC in the feces. The moderate correlation between IL-17A, neutrophils and MUC5AC confirms its immunoregulatory and mucin stimulatory role. Our study characterizes local alteration of mucin glycosylation in the colonic mucosa of pigs with SD after B. hyodysenteriae infection and may provide insight into host-pathogen interaction.
Tools to develop antibiotic combinations that target drug tolerance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Authors: Greenstein Talia , Aldridge Bree B.
Published: January 2023

Combination therapy is necessary to treat tuberculosis to decrease the rate of disease relapse and prevent the acquisition of drug resistance, and shorter regimens are urgently needed. The adaptation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to various lesion microenvironments in infection induces various states of slow replication and non-replication and subsequent antibiotic tolerance. This non-heritable tolerance to treatment necessitates lengthy combination therapy. Therefore, it is critical to develop combination therapies that specifically target the different types of drug-tolerant cells in infection. As new tools to study drug combinations earlier in the drug development pipeline are being actively developed, we must consider how to best model the drug-tolerant cells to use these tools to design the best antibiotic combinations that target those cells and shorten tuberculosis therapy. In this review, we discuss the factors underlying types of drug tolerance, how combination therapy targets these populations of bacteria, and how drug tolerance is currently modeled for the development of tuberculosis multidrug therapy. We highlight areas for future studies to develop new tools that better model drug tolerance in tuberculosis infection specifically for combination therapy testing to bring the best drug regimens forward to the clinic.
Deep-learning method for fully automatic segmentation of the abdominal aortic aneurysm from computed tomography imaging

Published: January 2023

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. AAAs often remain asymptomatic until they are either close to rupturing or they cause pressure to the spine and/or other organs. Fast progression has been linked to future clinical outcomes. Therefore, a reliable and efficient system to quantify geometric properties and growth will enable better clinical prognoses for aneurysms. Different imaging systems can be used to locate and characterize an aneurysm; computed tomography (CT) is the modality of choice in many clinical centers to monitor later stages of the disease and plan surgical treatment. The lack of accurate and automated techniques to segment the outer wall and lumen of the aneurysm results in either simplified measurements that focus on few salient features or time-consuming segmentation affected by high inter- and intra-operator variability. To overcome these limitations, we propose a model for segmenting AAA tissues automatically by using a trained deep learning-based approach. The model is composed of three different steps starting with the extraction of the aorta and iliac arteries followed by the detection of the lumen and other AAA tissues. The results of the automated segmentation demonstrate very good agreement when compared to manual segmentation performed by an expert.
Cerebral aspergillosis after heart-lung transplantation in a child: Case report with 3-year follow-up and literature review
Authors: Zhuang Huanwei , Xiang Kun , Gong Shuji , Zhou Yangang , Chen Jinlan
Published: January 2023

There are limited cases of heart-lung transplantation (HLT) in children worldwide owing to lack of donors, demanding surgical teamwork, and arduous post-operative management. Post-transplant management difficulties stem from the possible development of several post-operative complications, with infection being a common complication. Intracranial fungal infections are difficult to diagnose and prone to treatment delays because of their relatively insidious onset and atypical clinical presentation. Here, we present a case of a cerebral infection developed 3 months after HLT in a 10-year-old child, showing no positive results on conventional imaging or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination and culture. On metagenomic next-generation sequencing of the cerebrospinal fluid, the causative organism was finally determined as Aspergillus. After administering 1-year anti-Aspergillus treatment, no recurrence of intracranial fungal infection was noted during the 3-year follow-up. This case illustrates the multifaceted diagnostic techniques for cerebral aspergillosis after HLT and shows the significance of dynamic monitoring of symptoms, such as headache, and of metagenomic sequencing results, trends in intracranial pressure and (1-3)-β-D-glucan levels for guiding diagnosis and treatment.

Published: January 2023

Background

An association between excessively prolonged QT and ventricular arrhythmia in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction has been described; however, the QT dynamics, characterization, and long-term predictive value are not well known.

Objective

To characterize QT interval dynamics in patients undergoing ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and determine its association with mortality.

Methods

A retrospective analysis of 4,936 consecutive patients, hospitalized for STEMI between 01/2013–12/2021. Patients with less than three electrocardiograms (ECGs) during index hospitalization were excluded. Baseline demographics, cardiovascular history, clinical risk factors, treatment measures, laboratory results, and mortality data were retrieved from the hospital’s electronic medical records.

Results

We included 1,054 patients and 5,021 ECGs in our cohort with a median follow-up of 6 years [interquartile range (IQR) 4.3–7.4 years]. The QT was longer in women in comparison to men (428.6 ms ± 33.4 versus 419.8 ms ± 32.52, P-value = 0.001). QT prolongation was greater in females, elderly patients, and patients with STEMI caused by occlusion of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery. We determined QT cutoff to be 445 ms. This value of QT divided our cohort upon arrival into a long QT group (217 patients, 26% of the cohort) and a “normal” QT group (835 patients, 74% of the cohort). The long QT group experienced an increase in combined short and long terms all-cause mortality. The QT upon arrival, on day 2 of hospitalization, and before discharge from the hospital, correlated with long-term mortality.

Conclusion

QT duration is often prolonged during STEMI; this prolongation is associated with increased mortality and adverse events. Gender is an important mediator of QT dynamics.
