Rabies has been known as a lethal disease since time immemorial. Nonetheless, modern modeling estimates suggest that this infection is a cause of death of almost 60 thou people around the globe every year. In Ukraine, rabies is also a relevant problem in veterinary and human medicine. In the early 21st century, the epizootic situation regarding this infection was characterized as intense with periodic disease outbreaks. As of now, the most effective modern way to combat rabies is oral vaccination of wild carnivores against rabies. In 2018, a large-scale campaign of vaccination of feral carnivores began in Ukraine. To identify the efficacy of this anti-epizootic event, we used a complex approach that included the use of all the control elements: surveillance of rabies spread, assessment of tetracycline marker, and identification of the immunity to rabies virus in foxes in the area of vaccination. In 2022, due to the Russian military invasion of Ukraine, the oral vaccination of wild animals was not conducted. Therefore, complex assessment of efficacy of vaccination is necessary to monitor achievements of the Veterinary Service of Ukraine in combating this infection. This paper, based on our epizootic, histological, and serological studies, presents the trends of spread of rabies cases in Ukraine, which were confirmed in laboratory studies in 2018–2022. Also, the paper demonstrates the downward dynamics of rabies in all species of the animals. Analysis of the efficacy of the oral vaccination campaign of wild carnivores against rabies revealed its efficiency. At the same time, to achieve the best effect, oral vaccination of wild carnivores against rabies should be carried out twice a year – in spring and autumn. Extending the analysis to include domestic carnivores (dogs and cats) revealed problems in the current system of rabies prophylaxis

Our study was focused on changes in the general aboveground phytomass during restoration of the vegetative cover. The objective was to analyze changes in the aboveground phytomass as an indicator of autogenic ecosystem dynamics. Therefore, we set the following goals: to detect changes that occurred in the amount of aboveground phytomass while the natural vegetation reco­vered; develop a mathematical model that would describe the process of dynamics of aboveground phytomass during progressive autogenic successions; develop a parameter of natural ecosystem dynamics based on changes in the aboveground phytomass during recovery of natural vegetation. To achieve our goals, we conducted a series of eight stationary experiments that lasted from 2005 to 2014 in the territory of central Polissia. Also, we carried out geobotanical studies, measuring phytomass outside the stationary plots. As vegetation in the disturbed areas recovered, the amount of aboveground phytomass naturally increased. Function of the natural logarithm is a mathematical model of change in the aboveground phytomass. In this model, regression coefficient “a” represents the initial conditions of when recovery started. For secondary ecological successions, regression coefficient “a” was higher than for the initial one. Regression coefficient “b” indicated the rates of production of aboveground phytomass. With time, a predicted trend of change in the aboveground phytomass becomes more likely to deviate.. Increase in the aboveground phytomass in most cases accompanies autogenic succession, and its decline, except in rare cases, accompanies/ homogenic succession. Accumulation of maximum possible phytomass and its storage for a maximum time interval corresponds to the state of energy (climatic) climax, while stopping its production at lower values – to catastrophic climax. The mathematical model of change in the general aboveground phytomass is the basis for further development of an integral theory of ecosystem dynamics. Prediction algorithms that have been developed based on the proposed mathematical model can be useful during environmental audit or decision making in nature protection when assessing whether an area requires a strict protection regime.
Hacia una filosofía política de la crisis medioambiental y del cambio climático
Authors: Quesada Rodríguez Francisco
Published: July 2024

Este artículo integra la ecología y la ética medioambiental para fundamentar una nueva filosofía política que atienda el desafío de la crisis medioambiental. Aunque la ecología como ciencia permita comprender el estado del medioambiente, la ética y la política deben integrarse en una nueva democracia medioambiental que responda de manera sistemática al reto del cambio climático. La demarcación epistemológica de la ciencia, la filosofía y la política a partir de la cuestión ecológica, presentada por pensadores del medioambiente, ayuda a organizar la democracia de manera que la ciudadanía pueda participar activamente en la toma de decisiones políticas sobre el medioambiente.
Chomsky & Large Language Models: A response to Piantadosi (2023)
Authors: Jiménez Sennrich Diego A.
Published: July 2024

En un artículo reciente, Steven T. Piantadosi propone que «los modelos lingüísticos modernos refutan el enfoque de Chomsky acerca del lenguaje». El presente artículo pretende mostrar que el argumento de Piantadosi se basa en una mala comprensión tanto del enfoque de Chomsky sobre el lenguaje como, más ampliamente, de las restricciones a la adquisición del lenguaje a las que deberían atenerse las teorías lingüísticas serias. Como resultado, se muestra que bajo consideraciones de elección de teoría racional, el enfoque de Chomsky triunfa sobre el de Piantadosi.

Authors: Plewka Maksymilian Kamil , Margulska Aleksandra , Sójta Klaudia , Płeska Kacper , Gawlik-Kotelnicka Oliwia
Published: July 2024

Introduction and objective: Multiple studies worldwide have shown that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was an increased risk of depression and anxiety in women during the perinatal period. This study aimed to assess the severity of this phenomenon in the Polish population, and to investigate the potential risk factors and their relationship with COVID-19 related anxiety and labour anxiety. Materials and methods: Between February and November 2021, 122 women in the perinatal period were recruited to complete three sets of surveys: two during pregnancy and one during puerperium. The questionnaires used to evaluate the anxiety and depressive symptoms included Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, Labour Anxiety Questionnaire and COVID-19 Pandemic-Related Anxiety Questionnaire. Results: It was shown that 26.2% of participants had symptoms indicating at least mild depression, and 61.4% of participants had increased labour anxiety. Women with a documented history of COVID-19 infection had significantly higher level of labour anxiety, whereas the severity of depression was not higher in their case. A positive correlation between COVID-19 related anxiety score and Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale score was found. The main concern associated with COVID-19 was the anxiety about the separation from the new-born baby, which was even higher than the fear of potential harm to the new-born resulting from COVID-19. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the percentage of women with perinatal depression during COVID-19 pandemic may have been higher than previously reported and it may be vital to improve perinatal screening of depression in Poland.

Authors: Wiśniewska Martyna Anna , Gmitrowicz Agnieszka , Szmajda Rafał
Published: July 2024

Introduction and objective: In recent years, there has been an increase in the prevalence of mood disorders in the developmental population. Their atypical nature, symptoms masking the diagnosis, and a high risk of auto-aggressive behaviours are also noticeable. The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of mood disorders in the population of psychiatrically hospitalised adolescents. Materials and methods: The research material was an anonymous database of 1,311 patients aged 13–18 years, treated for 10 years (2006–2015) in a stationary youth ward. A group of patients with mood disorders was selected from the study population. Results: Mood/affective disorders were diagnosed in 13.5% of hospitalised adolescents. The mean age of patients with this diagnosis was 16 years. A statistically significant relationship was observed between the diagnosis of mood disorders and a history of suicide attempts (in >50%), self-injury (in >54%), learning difficulties, truancy, and repeating a grade. Conclusions: It was found that a history of suicide attempts, learning difficulties, truancy, repeating a grade, and a history of self-injury were risk factors for affective disorders in the study population.

Published: July 2024

Aim: The aim of the study was to compare adults suffering from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder with healthy controls, in terms of their serum concentrations of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6. Materials and methods: The diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder was established during the interview with the clinician on the basis of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. A total of 36 participants with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and 28 in the control group were included. The age range was 21–55 years. Individuals with a psychiatric comorbidity, allergy, chronic inflammatory disease, and receiving psychostimulant treatment were excluded. Results: Adults diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder had higher serum concentrations of interleukin-6 in comparison to healthy controls. Conclusions: The aetiology of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder may be influenced by the concentration of inflammatory factors.
How “professionals” understand stigma and self-stigma as factors affecting the recovery of patients: preliminary survey-based research
Authors: Stefaniak Izabela , Frączek-Cendrowska Katarzyna
Published: July 2024

Objective: This study aims to analyse the beliefs of “professionals” about stigma and self-stigma in the group of psychiatric patients. Material: The study was conducted on 204 “professionals” involved in the treatment of people with mental disorders. The respondents voluntarily completed the questionnaire. Method: A multi-part survey. The questions were grouped into topical blocks on different aspects of stigma and self-stigma. Results: A significant percentage of the respondents encountered the concepts of stigma (100% – doctors, 92.6% – psychologists, therapists, 98.1% – others) and self-stigma (65.9% – doctors, 71.3% – psychologists, therapists, 80.8% – others) in their practice. Most of them try to take stigma and self-stigma into account when treating their patients and believe that these aspects have a strong impact on recovery. They are not aware of any interventions that could support their practice. Conclusions: The results indicate the need to develop interventions to prevent stigma and self-stigma among people with mental disorders.
Conceptualizing your new reality: Should philosophers play a role in psychedelic-assisted therapy?
Authors: Quasti Christopher , Sisti Dominic
Published: July 2024

Psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT) is currently undergoing a resurgence of clinical interest for several mental health ailments. We propose that philosophers can play a significant role in PAT in both the preparation and integration phases of PAT. Philosophers can aid in the former phase by offering philosophical preparatory insights and in the latter phase by providing the conceptual language to articulate the complex philosophical aspects of a psychedelic experience.

Next generation sequencing (NGS) allows high-resolution and allelic HLA-typing. The most common platform is MiSeq (Illumina, USA). Currently, the maintenance of this device is difficult, which has necessitated the search for analogues that are not inferior in capacity and quality of HLA-typing. The purpose of our study was a comparative analysis of the results of HLA-typing by NGS using the MiSeq (Illumina, USA) and FastaSeq 300 (Gene-Mind, China) platforms. The study included DNA samples of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) donors: 12 samples were obtained and analyzed at the FSBI RosNIIGT FMBA of Russia and 24 samples at the National Medical Research Center for Hematology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. HLA typing of all samples was performed twice: using a MiSeq sequencer and a FastaSeq 300 sequencer. The results of HLA-typing of 12 samples from the FSBI RosNIIGT FMBA of Russia, obtained on two platforms, coincided. DRB1 allele of one sample was achieved as group P with MiSeq, but as group G with FastaSeq 300. The results of HLA-typing of 24 samples from the National Medical Research Center for Hematology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, obtained on two platforms, coincided. However, differences in the level of resolution of HLA-typing were observed for 10 samples. A higher level of resolution with using MiSeq was observed for genes: B – 2 cases; C, DRB3, DRB4 – 3 cases each. When using FastaSeq 300, a higher level of resolution was achieved a little more often and was established for the genes: DRB1 – 4, DQB1 – 7, DPA1 – 10 cases. Differences in the level of resolution of HLA-typing for some samples are not critical, since high-resolution typing results are currently used to select HSC donor-recipient pairs. Our study indicated the possibility of effectively using the FastaSeq 300 for HLA-typing.

An unfavorable prognosis for ovarian cancer is associated with metastasis to the peritoneum and the formation of malignant ascites, which contains factors affecting the growth and survival of tumor cells. Molecular and functional analysis of ascites provides information both for clinical diagnosis and for understanding the mechanisms of progression and resistance in ovarian cancer. The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of IL-8 and WISP1 in the acellular portion of ascites in advanced ovarian cancer. In 30 patients diagnosed with ascitic ovarian cancer stage III-IV according to FIGO, before treatment, the levels of IL-8 (Kit A-8762, Interleukin-8-ELISA-BEST, JSC Vector-Best, Russia) and WISP1 (Kit SEG895Hu CloudClone Corp., China) were determined (pg/mL). Based on the results of the effectiveness of chemotherapy according to the TP scheme, all patients were divided into the following groups: without relapse, relapse-free period up to 6 months – early relapse and progression during chemotherapy. Statistical processing was carried out using Statistica 13. Analysis of patient progression-free time was carried out using the Cox regression method, and the patient survival function was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method (Jamovi 2.4.14). We found that the level of IL-8 in the acellular part of malignant ascites in ovarian cancer in patients without relapse is significantly lower than in the early relapse group (176.58 (139.68-217.01) pg/mL versus 320.43 pg/mL (250.49-369.81), p = 0.019). The level of WISP1 was significantly increased in the acellular part of ascites only in patients with progression during chemotherapy (980.51 (796.61-1524.15) pg/mL versus 770.55 (500.60- 1254.90) pg/mL in patients without relapse and 764.09 (581.55-823.38) pg/mL in patients with relapse). We found a positive strong Pearson correlation between IL-8 and WISP1 in ascites in a group of patients without relapse (r = 0.783, p = 0.012). In the multivariate version of Cox regression, the risk of relapse increases by 1.01 (1.01-1.02, p = 0.001) times with an increase in the level of IL-8 in the acellular part of ascites. When IL-8 levels in the acellular portion of ascites are above 225 pg/mL, the median progression-free time in patients with advanced ovarian cancer is 11.7 (5.2-18.2, 95% CI) months.

Thus, increased levels of IL-8 and WISP1 in malignant ascites in ovarian cancer are associated with a shorter progression-free time. IL-8 in malignant ascites activates Wnt/β-catenin signaling in advanced ovarian cancer.
Role of CD20+T lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis
Authors: Glebezdina N. S.
Published: July 2024

CD3+CD20+T lymphocytes are a population of T cells that, along with standard T cell markers, express the atypical membrane molecule CD20 (a traditional B cell marker). These cells were identified not so long ago and are currently being actively studied. Normally, they constitute up to 3-5% of the CD3+T cell compartment in human peripheral blood, and are also found in primary and secondary lymphoid organs, cerebrospinal fluid, brain tissue and liver. In healthy individuals, CD3+CD20+T cells are heterogeneous and contain a lower proportion of CD4+ cells, but produce higher levels of GM-CSF, IFNγ, IL-17, TNFα, IL-4, IL-10, adhesion molecules and chemokine receptors than CD3+CD20-T cells, indicating a highly activated proinflammatory phenotype with properties potentially promoting their pathogenic infiltration into the CNS. Recent studies have established the pathogenic behavior of CD3+CD20+T cells in a wide range of diseases, including hematological and non-hematological CD20+T cell malignancies and HIV, as well as autoimmune pathologies, in particular multiple sclerosis, a disabling inflammatory neurodegenerative disease that is accompanied by damage to the myelin sheath nerve fibers. CD20 positive T cells are detected in patients with multiple sclerosis in the peripheral blood, cerebrospinal fluid (occur at a frequency similar to that of B cells and show a correlation with disease severity) and white matter of the brain. CD20 positive T lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of patients with multiple sclerosis have been shown to produce high levels of IFNγ and IL-17А, which are two proinflammatory cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of this disease. It is possible that CD20+T cells represent a separate subpopulation of Th17 cells, the so-called Th1-polarized Th17, which are the product of redifferentiation of Th17 cells into Th1 and combine the phenotypic characteristics of both populations. And the expression of CD20 T cells may be a valuable marker that determines the target subpopulation of such pathogenic T cells, as well as serve as a target for therapy of autoimmune diseases.
Role of TAS2R38 polymorphism in respiratory diseases pathogenesis
Authors: Nyoma M. A. , Murkina R. G. , Mineev V. N.
Published: July 2024

More and more new data, concerning extraoral bitter taste receptors (TAS2R), appear now. Current data on polymorphisms, expression patterns and form of TAS2R subtype 38 (TAS2R38), its molecular variants that differ in the degrees of sensitivity to ligands and their role in the pathogenesis of respiratory disorders are discussed in this review. The mechanism of signal transduction from taste receptors mediated by G-protein is shown. Participation of TAS2R38 in the local protective mechanisms in a ciliated epithelium of the respiratory tract and its activation by “quorum sensing” system molecules and its connection with the components of mucociliary clearance are presented. It has been shown that the action of the ligand on the TAS2R38 leads to the activation of NO synthase, followed by the production of nitric oxide (NO), which triggers a number of intracellular reactions leading to an increase in the rate of beating of the cilia of the ciliary epithelium, as well as having a direct antibacterial effect. TAS2R38 are also found on leukocytes, and its expression decreases with age, which can be considered as a component of the general aging of immunocompetent cells in the body. It is known that activation of TAS2R38 also enhances the phagocytic activity of macrophages, which is also mediated by the action of G-protein and cGMP. TAS2R receptors are also considered to be associated with allergic diseases, in particular – with bronchial asthma. A number of studies in groups of children with bronchial asthma revealed that the expression of most TAS2Rs was higher in children with severe bronchial asthma. Other studies have shown that patients with the eosinophilic variant of chronic rhinosinusitis have a higher levels of TAS2R38 expression in the upper respiratory tract compared to those with chronic rhinosinusitis without eosinophilia. To date, the functional significance of extraoral bitter taste receptors has not been fully studied. In the future, a large amount of research work remains to be done to finally understand the role of TAS2R in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases.

Let \(G=(V,E)\) be a simple connected graph. The modified Sombor index denoted by \(mSo(G)\) is defined as $$mSo(G)=\sum_{uv\in E}\frac{1}{\sqrt{d^2_u+d^2_v}},$$ where \(d_v\) denotes the degree of vertex \(v\). In this paper we present extremal values of modified Sombor index  over the set of trees and unicyclic graphs.
IMPROVED FIRST PLAYER STRATEGY FOR THE ZERO-SUM SEQUENTIAL UNCROSSING GAME
Authors: Rizhenko Ksenia
Published: July 2024

This paper deals with the known uncrossing zero-sum two-player sequential game, which is employed to obtain upper running time bound for the transformation of an arbitrary subset family of some finite set to an appropriate laminar one. In this game, the first player performs such a transformation, while the second one tries to slow down this process as much as possible. It is known that for any game instance specified by the ground set and initial subset family of size $n$ and $m$ respectively, the first player has a winning strategy of $O(n^4m)$ steps. In this paper, we show that the first player has a more efficient strategy, which helps him (her) to win in $O\bigl(\max\{n^2,mn\}\bigr)$ steps.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the trends and factors associated with family refusal of skin donation for transplantation. Methods: this cross-sectional study was conducted in the State of São Paulo, with family authorization terms collected from 2001 to 2020. The variables analyzed included year, age, gender, cause of death, and type of institution. Data were analyzed using linear and multiple logistic regression, with the Odds Ratio estimated at p<0.05 for statistical significance. Results: 1,355 individuals refused skin donation. The trend of refusals decreased between 2001 and 2009 in the age groups of 0-11 years and 12-19 years, but increased in the group aged ≥60 years. This trend continued to decrease in the 0-11 years group from 2010 to 2020, and increased in the 20-40 years group. Males and the age groups of 20-40 years, 41-59 years, and ≥60 years exhibited 27%, 34%, 47%, and 53% lower chances of refusal, respectively. Conclusions: there is an urgent need for measures to mitigate the high number of refusals associated with skin donation.

Published: July 2024

Abstract: The article analyzes the fight against COVID-19 in three Latin American countries: Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico. A multiple case study was carried out in a comparative perspective, based on a bibliographic review, documentary analysis, and secondary data, considering characteristics of the countries and the health system, evolution of COVID-19, national governance, containment and mitigation measures, health systems response, constraints, positive aspects and limits of responses. The three countries had distinct health systems but were marked by insufficient funding and inequalities when hit by the pandemic and recorded high-COVID-19 mortality. Structural, institutional, and political factors influenced national responses. In Argentina, national leadership and intergovernmental political agreements favored the initial adoption of centralized control measures, which were not sustained. In Brazil, there were limits in national coordination and leadership related to the President’s denialism and federative, political, and expert conflicts, despite a universal health system with intergovernmental commissions and participatory councils, which were little used during the pandemic. In Mexico, structural difficulties were associated with the Federal Government’s initial reluctance to adopt restrictive measures, limits on testing, and relative slowness in immunization. In conclusion, facing health emergencies requires strengthening public health systems associated with federative, intersectoral, and civil society coordination mechanisms and effective global solidarity mechanisms.
State capacity impact on COVID-19 mortality in Brazil
Authors: Araújo Juliana Maria de , Ferreira Marco Aurélio Marques
Published: July 2024

Abstract: This study addresses the State’s capacity to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and contributes to the literature on crisis management in health care. We analyzed whether the capacity level impacted the State response to COVID-19 in Brazilian healthcare regions in 2020 using a set of statistical analysis techniques and public health impact analysis, including propensity score matching (PSM). Results revealed that a low COVID-19 mortality was associated with participation in municipal health consortia, schooling level of municipal health managers and the resources allocated by the Brazilian National Program for Improvement of Access and Quality of Basic Care (PMAQ). Conversely, the number of intensive care units (ICU) and life-sustaining equipment available were associated with higher mortality, as locations with a larger population concentrated operational capacity to treat the most severe cases. In conclusion, the different levels of State capacity in health regions led to different outcomes in combating the pandemic. This reinforces the importance of discussing State capacity and crisis management, since the COVID-19 confrontation in Brazil related to the level of existing resources concerning health system capacity, bureaucratic capacity and participation in consortia for sharing inputs and ensuring the provision of health services to the population.

Resumo: A vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal atua no Brasil identificando os vírus respiratórios de importância para a saúde pública circulantes no país, e começou a ser implementada em 2000. Recentemente, a pandemia de COVID-19 reforçou a importância da detecção precoce de novos vírus em circulação no território brasileiro. Assim, se faz oportuna uma análise do desenho da vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal. Para tal, simulamos uma rede sentinela, identificando os municípios que fariam parte da rede segundo os critérios definidos no desenho da vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal, e, a partir dos dados de casos testados de síndrome respiratória aguda grave (SRAG) de 2014 a 2019, sorteamos amostras para cada município sentinela por semana epidemiológica. O sorteio foi repetido mil vezes, obtendo-se a mediana e intervalo quantílico de 95% (IQ95%) da positividade para cada vírus por Unidade Federativa e semana epidemiológica. Segundo os critérios do desenho da vigilância sentinela de síndrome gripal, unidades sentinelas estariam em 64 municípios, distribuídas principalmente em capitais e suas zonas metropolitanas, o que preconizou 690 amostras semanais. O desenho apresentou boa sensibilidade (total de 91,65%, considerando o IQ95%) para a detecção qualitativa dos vírus respiratórios, mesmo os de baixa circulação. Porém, houve importante incerteza na estimativa quantitativa de positividade, chegando a, pelo menos, 20% em 11,34% das estimativas. Os resultados aqui apresentados visam auxiliar a avaliação e a atualização do desenho da rede sentinela. Estratégias para reduzir a incerteza nas estimativas de positividade precisam ser avaliadas, assim como a necessidade de maior cobertura espacial.

Resumo A qualidade conjugal na etapa da formação do casal repercute na trajetória relacional. Com base no modelo de Vulnerabilidade, Estresse e Adaptação (VSA) e por meio de um questionário on-line, buscou-se compreender quais variáveis predizem a qualidade conjugal de 353 brasileiros (78,8% mulheres; 74,4% heterossexuais) que coabitavam há até três anos e quais moderam a relação entre estratégias de resolução de conflitos e qualidade conjugal. Análises de regressão demonstraram que a diferenciação de self e as estratégias de resolução de conflitos tiveram peso explicativo similar e maior do que as variáveis contextuais estressoras na variação da qualidade conjugal. Diferenciação de self, satisfação com o trabalho e tempo de coabitação moderaram a relação entre estratégias de resolução de conflitos e qualidade conjugal. Corroborando parcialmente o modelo VSA, o estudo discute dinâmicas próprias do início do relacionamento.

Resumo A infidelidade financeira consiste em omitir do parceiro questões relacionadas às finanças. Pode ser tanto causa quanto consequência de conflitos conjugais e é um assunto ainda pouco explorado pela literatura. O objetivo foi adaptar e buscar evidências de validade e precisão da Financial Infidelity Scale (FIS) no Brasil. Dois estudos contaram com a participação de 513 pessoas casadas, em união estável ou coabitação, que responderam à FIS e a questões sociodemográficas. Os dados foram analisados por meio da análise fatorial exploratória e confirmatória, validade convergente e pela Teoria de Resposta ao Item. Os resultados demonstraram a unidimensionalidade do instrumento com adequada consistência interna, além de propor uma versão curta da escala, que também apresentou estrutura confiável e unidimensional. Ambas as versões apresentaram uma estrutura unidimensional confiável e apresentaram correlações semelhantes com neuroticismo, conscienciosidade e amabilidade. A FIS mostrou-se apropriada para uso em pesquisas futuras no país.

Published: July 2024

Abstract The study aimed to investigate the impact of the explanatory variable Character Strengths on the criterion variable Maturity for Professional Choice and to compare the behavior of the variables by gender and type of institution. Participants were 350 Integrated High School students from different courses, 204 from a public school, aged between 14 and 20 years (M = 16.68; SD = 0.94), and 126 from a private school, aged between (M = 16.5; SD = 0.85). The Character Strengths Scale and the Maturity for Professional Choice Scale were used. The results showed differences for females in the Determination, Responsibility, and Independence factors and between public and private institutions for Independence and Knowledge of Reality. A non-linear correlation and a dependency relationship were found between the variables tested. A prospective study could investigate the behavior of variables in freshmen and veterans throughout Integrated High School.
Meanings of Retirement: A Scoping Review

Published: July 2024

Abstract Retirement is a central phenomenon in our society, and it is essential to know its current meanings. This article mapped and analyzed the studies about the meanings of retirement through a scoping review based on the PRISMA guidelines. Considering the eligibility criteria and search strategies, 3,904 results were analyzed, with 39 empirical scientific articles being selected. Analyses of publication data and their results demonstrated a wide variety of investigated concepts and some methodological trends, generally with a qualitative approach. Although most studies address the construct in two dimensions (positive and negative), more complex approaches are discussed. A model of meanings with five dimensions was presented (exploring new horizons, absence and search for meaning, contributing on your own way, time to relax, and acquisition of rights), which must be analyzed considering five other groups of influences (individual differences and resources, contextual, job, and situational factors). The study advances theoretically, although future improvements are required.
Arte e desfetichização na obra tardia de György Lukács
Authors: Fortes Ronaldo Vielmi
Published: July 2024

Resumo: Este trabalho objetiva analisar o papel exercido pelo cárcere e o encarceramento de mulheres considerando as conformações do sistema hetero-patriarcal-racista-capitalista implementado no Brasil. A metodologia consistiu em estudo bibliográfico e documental, sendo que os resultados mostraram que os estabelecimentos prisionais se constituíram em tecnologias repressivas utilizadas para a formação e a consolidação do projeto de nação branca, classista, racista e sexista, como forma de atendimento às demandas de estruturação e desenvolvimento do capitalismo. Em tempos de fragilização dos vínculos trabalhistas e de uberização do trabalho, o cárcere tem assumido um papel proeminente na gestão da pobreza por meio da violência, repressão e segregação, aprofundando as expressões da questão social decorrentes de desemprego, pobreza e insegurança alimentar que afetam mais efetivamente as famílias monoparentais chefiadas por mulheres, sobretudo, mulheres negras moradoras das periferias urbanas.

Abstract Objective of this study was to, based on a theoretical model, verify the associations between the variables passion, affect, satisfaction with life, and distress, the predictive power of the different types of passion on the perception of positive and negative affect, and the effect of this relation against the evaluation of psychological well-being and distress. Method Three hundred and fifty-nine participants aged between 18 and 70 years (M = 36.60; SD = 11.90) answered a sociodemographic questionnaire, and the Passion, Positive and Negative Affect Schedule, Satisfaction with Life, and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scales. Data were analyzed using correlation coefficients and structural equation modeling. Results The adequacy of the proposed model was estimated with satisfactory fit indices and positive relations between Harmonious Passion, Positive Affect, and Satisfaction with Life. Conclusion The results suggest that Harmonious Passion contributes to coping with suffering and negative experiences, such as those experienced in the pandemic moment.

RESUMO Objetivo: Mapear as competências dos enfermeiros da Atenção Primária à Saúde em regiões fronteiriças do Brasil e Paraguai. Método: Estudo exploratório de natureza qualitativa realizado entre fevereiro e julho de 2020, com 64 enfermeiros de seis municípios brasileiros fronteiriços com o Paraguai. Foi realizada em três etapas: 1. Estudo documental: análise de documentos legais para identificar as competências do enfermeiro. 2. Aplicação de instrumento para a população do estudo. 3. Mapeamento das competências, através das competências expressas pelos enfermeiros analisados pela técnica do discurso do sujeito coletivo. Resultados: Identificaram-se 28 competências gerais, categorizadas como assistenciais e gerenciais e cinco competências específicas requeridas atuar para regiões de fronteira: realizar o diagnóstico situacional da comunidade fronteiriça; atender o usuário estrangeiro com escuta ativa e humanizada; comunicar-se de forma adequada com o usuário estrangeiro; identificar o perfil epidemiológico da fronteira; e, conhecer as políticas de saúde do país vizinho. As competências requeridas para o trabalho na perspectiva dos participantes, foram contempladas no mapeamento. A lacuna de competência identificada no mapeamento se refere às práticas educativas nas comunidades. Considerações finais: O estudo identificou as competências necessárias para enfermeiros atuarem em região de fronteira, mas apontoulacunas na formação e educação permanente desses profissionais.
