O rompimento da barragem de Fundão e a ascensão do capitalismo de desastre no Brasil
Authors: Rojas Claudia Marcela Orduz , Pereira Doralice Barros
Published: June 2023

O 5 de novembro de 2015, a barragem de rejeitos minerais de Fundão, de propriedade da Samarco (Vale SA/BHP Billiton), rompeu-se, deixando dezenove mortos, milhares de atingidos e um rastro de destruição ao longo da Bacia do Rio Doce. Este artigo visa compreender a relação entre o rompimento da barragem e a ascensão do capitalismo de desastre no Brasil. As informações foram coletadas em fontes primárias e secundárias e em trabalhos de campo. Conclui-se que o rompimento do reservatório possibilitou a realização do primeiro experimento de grande monta do capitalismo de desastre no Brasil que se efetivou a partir de três terapias de choque. A primeira foi o próprio rompimento da barragem, que apesar de ser evitável, aconteceu de maneira abrupta e violenta. A segunda terapia foi um ambicioso programa econômico neoliberal, antidemocrático e impopular, adotado para reparar e compensar os danos ocasionados. Não sendo suficiente, os atingidos foram ainda submetidos a diversos mecanismos e técnicas de tortura coletiva que contribuíram para reduzir o gasto social, neutralizar a resistência ao tratamento econômico e consolidar a ascensão do capitalismo de desastre no Brasil.  Em suma, os três choques permitiram o desenho de uma nova “normalidade” — mais doentia, brutal e perversa —, benéfica apenas para uma pequena elite empresarial global.

Aim: The aim of the study was to assess the suggested biomarkers’ usefulness in diagnosing central nervous system infections in order to optimise treatment and minimise adverse outcomes. The study included a comprehensive comparison of the known parameters and a search for correlations with proposed biomarkers. Materials and methods: The data of 73 hospitalised children were reviewed. According to their final diagnoses, 42 participants were assigned to the control group, 13 to the cohort with bacterial and 18 to the cohort with viral neuroinfections. The children underwent clinically indicated blood and cerebrospinal fluid tests. The serum interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and neopterin concentrations, and S100B protein and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 levels in the cerebrospinal fluid were determined. The results were compared between the groups and correlations were sought. Results: Serum IL-6 levels were found to have increased in viral (p = 0.0412) and bacterial (p < 0.0001) infections, with a predominance of the latter (p = 0.0403). In terms of serum neopterin and IL-1β, the neuroinfection cohort did not differ from the control group. The level of S100B in the cerebrospinal fluid in bacterial disease was higher compared with the viral aetiology (p = 0.0325). The cerebrospinal fluid S100B correlated positively with serum IL-6 (p = 0.0138, R = 0.6396) and reversely with IgA and IgG levels (p = 0.0499, R = −0.5325; p = 0.0022, R = −0.7451, respectively) in the neuroinfection cohort. The cerebrospinal fluid MMP-9 was linked with cerebrospinal fluid cytosis in patients with viral (p = 0.0018, R = 0.7547) and bacterial (p = 0.0124, R = 0.6935) disease. The serum IL-6 levels correlated with IgA in the viral aetiology (p = 0.0374, R = 0.9). Conclusions: The MMP-9 level correlated with blood–brain barrier permeability, expressed by cerebrospinal fluid proteins and cytosis, which may indicate the possibility of sequelae. The higher serum concentrations of IL-6 and S100B in bacterial neuroinfections may reflect a more intense immune reaction associated with this aetiology.

Published: June 2023

Solid-oxide fuel cells are efficient devices for the conversion of chemical to electrical energy and a typical solid-oxide fuel cell consists of a solid electrolyte, cathode, and anode. In the last few decades, researchers have been working extensively on materials development for different components of these devices. In this review article, we briefly discuss the requirements for different components and review prominent materials families explored by the scientific community. As the search for greener energy alternatives such as solid-oxide fuel cells has intensified manifold due to the climate change emergency, a substantial literature was produced on the materials development of these devices and, therefore, we believe a brief review article dedicated to the same will be valuable for the scientific community, particularly new young entrant researchers in the field.

The diagnosis of adnexal torsion is challenging due to the absence of specific symptoms that can determine the postponing of surgery, and, as the consequence, the development of necrotic changes at adnexa. Today, the surgical treatment of patients with this pathology shifting to the ovary-sparing surgery (detorsion) despite to the presence of necrotic changes during surgery. By that, the question of the choice of the method of treatment in case of adnexal torsion still under debate between pediatric surgeons and gynecologists. Purpose - to summarize the own experience in the treatment of patients with adnexal torsion. Materials and methods. This study based on the results of the treatment of 73 patients with adnexal torsion, which were operated at 2010-2022 years. Diagnosis was established on the results of clinical investigation and ultrasonographic (US) data. It was performed 74 surgical procedures (one patient was operated on twice), among them 57 (77%) by laparoscopic and 17 (23%) open approach (laparotomy). It was 49 (66.2%) ovary-sparing procedures (detorsion with or without cystectomy) and 25 (33.8%) - adnexectomy. Results of the study were evaluated by the statistical program StatPlus: mac, AnalystSoft Inc. (version v8). Results. Mean age of patients was 11.50.5 years. Abdominal pain syndrome (in 100%) and vomiting (in 49.3%) were the main clinical appearances. Unilateral ovaria enlargement and peripheral displacement of follicles were the most frequent US findings. The absence of the blood flow was revealed in 39.5% and the whirlpool sign in 11.6% of patients. Among of all patients, simple torsion confirmed in 24.3%, while the torsion caused by cyst or dermoid tumors, revealed in 75.7% of patients. Detorsion only was performed in 24.3% of patients and in 42.5% of patients it was supplemented by cystectomy. Adnexectomy was performed in 32.2% of patients. Conclusions. The diagnosis of adnexal torsion should be considered in all females with acute abdominal pain syndrome. Ultrasonography with or without Doppler is the first-line imaging modality. Laparoscopic detorsion, simple or supplemented by cystectomy, is the method of choice in the treatment of patients with adnexal torsion. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of all participating institutions. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

One of the most common pathologies that occurs in static deformities of the anterior joint of the foot in the foot is valgus deformity of the first toe. Distal or diaphyseal osteotomies are used for mild degrees, and proximal osteotomies for severe ones. Spikes, screws or plates with angular stability are most often used to fix bone fragments. Purpose - with the help of biomechanical studies, to study the stress-deformed state of the foot model with different options for osteosynthesis of the first metatarsal bone after the proximal osteotomy. Materials and methods. Mathematical modeling of osteosynthesis of the first metatarsal bone during correction of valgus deformity of the first toe using proximal osteotomy was carried out. Three variants of osteosynthesis were modeled: Kirschner pins, screws, and a bone plate. Results. During osteosynthesis with spikes, maximum stresses of 2.1 MPa occur in distal fragment. In the proximal fragment, the stresses are twice as low - 1.2 MPa. The tension in the resection zone is 0.1 MPa. During osteosynthesis with screws, the stresses in the proximal and distal fragments of the bone are almost the same, and are 0.9 MPa and 0.8 MPa, respectively. The tension in the osteotomy zone is 0.1 MPa. Osteosynthesis with a bone plate provides a low level of stresses in the osteotomy zone - 0.1 MPa, as well as an even distribution of stresses between the proximal and distal fragments of the metatarsal bone - 0.8 MPa and 0.7 MPa, respectively. During osteosynthesis with spikes and screws, the relative deformation of the bone regenerate does not exceed 0.13%. During osteosynthesis with a bone plate, this figure reaches 0.5%. Conclusions. For osteosynthesis of bone fragments during proximal osteotomy of the first metatarsal bone in order to eliminate valgus deformity of the first toe, spikes, screws and a bone plate can be used. All investigated types of osteosynthesis provide a low level of stress in the osteotomy zone of the first metatarsal bone, but, according to the criterion of stress values in the proximal and distal fragments of the bone, osteosynthesis with spikes showed the worst result, and osteosynthesis with a bone plate showed the best. The research was carried out in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The study protocol was approved by the Local Ethics Committee of the participating institution. The informed consent of the patient was obtained for conducting the studies. No conflict of interests was declared by the authors.

Johna Graya krytyka podstaw modernistycznych i postmodernistycznych projektów politycznych
Authors:   Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika, Polakowski Marcin
Published: May 2023

Gray identifies modernity as a political trend, which has reached its developed expression in the Enlightenment political project, based on a rational reconstruction of morality, the idea of progress, secularization of politics and applying natural sciences methods to studying politics. The decline of the political Enlightenment, however, effected in some political disasters of the 20th century and left emptiness in the ideological space of western politics. Enlightenment project of a universal civilization demystificate not only premodern conceptions of political order, but also undermine itself and broke main intelectual western traditions. Political postmodernism, which is answer to this situation, inherits also some western conceptions like humanism embodied in emancipations tendencies or universalization of the liberal order. According to Gray’s thought, only radical attempt to theorize without typical western prejudices can be appropriate answer to late modern political and social reality
Współczesne interpretacje kategorii „narodu”– wprowadzenie do problematyki
Authors:   Uniwersytet Kazimierza Wielkiego, Kuczur Tomasz
Published: May 2023

Variety and ambiguity of concepts, definitions and terms referring to “nation” is extremely vast. At the same time it is also constantly aggrandized by the researchers in the field themselves. While interpreting the concept they “apply” already existing views which leads to even greater chaos in selecting the basic categories necessary for defining the concept. The concept of “nation” cannot be precisely pinpointed based only on experiences or on free decisions. At the same time it is not an absolute or static concept which sense can be defined once and it will never change. Nation, in some apprehension, is the same as the history of nations which can be defined as changing with time and space relation of “us” which leads to defined concept of “we”. Therefore in order to be able to understand “nation” we need to understand its “historic drama” in which the “nation” has been taking part. The problem with the above conclusion is that there is no nation’s drama as nations – there are rather dramas of individual nations. Therefore in order to define the nature of a nation one should infer from nations’ dramas, which is some kind of a historical abstraction, and which will always be treated as a “more or less” concept.

Zjednoczone Niemcy stanęły przed koniecznością sformułowania kierunków polityki zagranicznej i, co szczególnie istotne dla sojuszników, polityki bezpieczeństwa. W sąsiednich państwach, między innymi w Polsce, pojawiły się obawy o ponowne wkroczenie Niemiec na drogę militaryzmu i ekspansjonizmu. Obawy budził zwiększony potencjał terytorialny i demograficzny, a przede wszystkim ostateczne wyzwolenie się Niemiec z powojennych ograniczeń wynikających z umów między mocarstwami. Z drugiej strony sojusznicy, szczególnie Stany Zjednoczone, oczekiwali od Niemiec zaangażowania militarnego w stabilizowanie sytuacji na świecie. W literaturze przedmiotu badacze zarysowali trzy główne koncepcje dotyczące pozycji Niemiec w światowym systemie bezpieczeństwa, Groβmacht, Mittelmacht i Zivilmacht. W praktyce kolejne rządy zjednoczonych Niemiec podejmowały decyzje, których znamiona są charakterystyczne dla wszystkich trzech koncepcji. Widoczna była jednak tendencja przejmowania przez Niemcy coraz większej odpowiedzialności za światowe bezpieczeństwo. Użycie siły zbrojnej każdorazowo poprzedzała jednak szczegółowa analiza i debata, w której coraz mniejsze znaczenie odgrywała historia Niemiec.

An alien is a person who does not have Polish citizenship. If you stayed on Polish territory, is protected by law, just as a Polish citizen. On 1 May 2004, Poland has become a European Union member states. Polish border on the Bug became the eastern border of the European Communities, and in a broader geographical and geopolitical plan a whole continent, our country occupies a central position. It is therefore likely that Poland has a much greater extent start to act as a transit country in Europe. Poles are aware of the opportunities and threats arising from this situation. On one hand, is expected to shift to the Polish foreign investment from the present EU countries, on the other hand, the forecasts point to a phenomenon of increasing number of Polish immigrants. Assuming a responsible role, related to personal and goods at the border, Poland is open to visitors from around the world. The hospitality we are proud of the Poles, is reflected in the rules governing residence of foreign nationals on Polish territory. They allow you to cross the border every foreigner, regardless of origin, religion, social or political views.

The issue of the national identity became more popular in Germany in the new millennium. It happened due to politicians’ actions in this country. There is a strand of the national culture canon present in discussions concerning national identity. In contemporary Germany, this issue and the issue of the integration of the foreign population are connected. The crisis of the idea of multiculturalism concerns german law and influences temporary solutions that regulate community life. The purpose of the article is to attract attention to the discursive character of the german national identity and to show examples of political actions that influence its structuring. The presentation of the issue is precluded by the theoretical analysis introducing readers to the topic of the national identity research on the basis of the selected social studies.

Realizou-se entrevistas fenomenológicas com 20 mulheres que vivenciaram o parto vaginal sem intervenções no segundo trimestre de 2020 na cidade do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil. Resultados: A análise compreensiva revelou que a voz pode provocar uma reação do ambiente que as deixe sofrer. A expressão da voz engloba medo e desespero. É a partir do que ouvem, que as mulheres receiam serem deixadas em sofrimento por terem incomodado os profissionais. Conclusão: Compreendeu-se o sentido do uso da própria voz no parto como um pedido de ajuda ou uma expressão da liberdade. Partindo desta compreensão pode se dar uma abertura do profissional para o cuidado sensível e individualizado, que ultrapassa a tecnologia.
Effects of compaction on the properties of pervious concrete made with local aggregates
Authors: Debnath Barnali , Sarkar Partha Pratim , Deb Plaban
Published: June 2023

The global shortage of regular construction materials has encouraged researchers to discover alternatives; crushed over-burnt brick aggregate (Cobba) has been found to be a suitable option. In this study, Cobba was used in pervious concrete (PC) and the effect of compaction on the properties of the PC was examined. PC needs to have a sufficient amount of voids, but is also expected to have some strength. This study particularly focused on this bi-functional aspect through several experimental tests. Compaction was carried out with a standard Proctor hammer by varying the number of blows. For larger aggregates, PC made with 40 compaction blows showed a compressive strength (CS) and porosity of about 12 MPa and 15%, respectively, whereas, for smaller aggregates, PC made with only 25 blows showed a CS of around 16 MPa and a porosity of about 18%. Based on porosity, permeability and CS, the optimum number of compaction blows is also identified for various sizes of coarse aggregates. Finally, statistical analysis is carried out and some equations are proposed to estimate the pore parameters and strength of the PC mix made with Cobba with an accuracy of about 97–98%.

Padişah II. Mustafa’nın tahtına, Şeyhülislâm Feyzullah Efendi’nin canına mâl olan 1703 tarihli Edirne Vakası, dönemin gerek Osmanlı gerekse yabancı kaynaklarında teferruatlı bir şekilde kaydedilmiştir. Edirne Vakası, kroniklerin, seyyahların ve maceracıların eserlerinde önemli bir yer teşkil etmiş ve modern tarihçiler bu hadiseyi genel olarak bu kaynakların ışığında kaleme almışlardır. Edirne Vakası’nı kaydedenler arasında o dönemde Osmanlı topraklarında bulunan yabancı diplomatlar da bulunmaktadır. Bu isimlerden birisi İngiltere’nin İstanbul büyükelçisi Sir Robert Sutton’dur. Hadiseyi takip eden isimlerden biri olan Sutton, Londra’daki amirleri için kaleme almış olduğu raporlarında 1703 yazında patlak veren isyana dair teferruatlı bilgiler vermiştir. Buna mukabil Edirne Vakası’na dair eser kaleme alan araştırmacıların bir kısmı her ne kadar İngiliz elçisinin raporlarından istifade etmişlerse de bu raporların münasip bir değerlendirmesi yapılmamıştır. İşbu çalışmada İngiliz elçisinin yazdığı raporlar üzerinden Edirne Vakası anlatılacak ve elçinin yazdıkları, diğer kaynaklar ile mukayese edilerek elçinin yazdıklarının kaynak değeri masaya yatırılacaktır. Bu şekilde araştırmacıların istifade edebileceği bir kaynağın bihakkın değerlendirilmesi hedeflenmiştir.

The effects of ego integrity and readiness for death on the preferences of care near the end-of-life of hospitalized older adults in long-term care hospitals: A cross-sectional correlation study
Authors: Baek Jangmi , Song Jun-Ah
Published: May 2023

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate ego integrity, readiness for death, and preferences of care near the end-of-life among hospitalized older adults in long-term care hospitals and identify factors that influence end-of-life care preference. Methods: A total of 181 older adults in long-term care hospitals participated in the study, and data collection was conducted from July 20th, 2020 to September 20th, 2020. Descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlations, and multiple regression were used for data analysis. Results: The older adults in hospitalized in long-term care hospitals preferred pain management even at the risk of hastened death, while the least preferred option was autonomous decision-making, including artificially prolonging human life. Regarding end-of-life care preferences, ego-integrity (β=-.18, p=.004) and death-readiness (β=-.18, p=.005) were factors that only influenced the spiritual domain and in the pain domain, it was confirmed that only the ego-integrity (β=-.16, p=.013) was affected. Conclusion: Although ego integrity and readiness for death did not affect all areas of end-of-life care preference among older adults in long-term care hospitals, they represent significant variables denoting positive acceptance of death and life satisfaction. As such, it is necessary to provide various opportunities for these factors to be considered in the overall process of aging. Furthermore, it has been confirmed that other variables can influence each subdomain of end-of-life care preference. Therefore, nurses should support hospitalized older adults in receiving end-of-life care according to their preferred domains.

Assistive Technology (AT) is a technology used by individuals with disabilities to perform functions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible. ATs are integrated into teaching and learning procedures to overcome the challenges faced by students with disabilities in educational institutions. The population of this study consisted of all the special students in Ilorin, Kwara State School for special needs. A random sampling technique was employed to select 100 students who constitute the sample size of this study. The findings of the study showed that deaf, blind, physical disability, learning disability, and language disorder are being catered for in the school,  assistive technologies are available for all the special students in the school, majority of the students used the assistive technologies for learning, there is a significant difference in the level of utilization of assistive technologies for learning among the special students based on gender, and there is a significant difference in the level of utilization of assistive technologies for learning among special students based on age. This study concluded that basic disabilities are being catered for in the sample special school with appropriate assistive technologies, and the technologies are found to be adequately available for the students. The study, therefore, recommended that the ministry of education should put in place, seminars, workshops, conferences, and training for special education teachers.

Published: May 2023

The rapid and dynamic development of medicine, and in particular dentistry, creates a need for doctors to constantly improve and systematize their knowledge and clinical experience. Recent advances in genetics, microbiology and other innovative industries in the last decade have updated the understanding of dental pathology. In this situation, we will talk about non-carious lesions, which, on the one hand, have become increasingly common in the practice of dentists, on the other hand, the etiological and pathogenetic factors of their development have been clarified to a large extent. This could not but affect the approaches to the treatment of this type of pathology. In this manual, we tried to systematize modern data on non-carious lesions that occur before teething (during the period of follicular tissue development), focusing on the clinical course and approaches to the treatment of pathology and the prevention of other associated dental diseases. Based on our own clinical experience, we have detailed the features of the clinical course of non-carious lesions so that they are well recognizable to physicians. Particularly interesting and useful, in our opinion, the manual will be for pediatric dentists and orthodontists, students and residents studying

BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence technology can help solve the significant problem of missed findings in radiology studies. An important issue is assessing the economic benefits of implementing artificial intelligence.
AIM: To evaluate the frequency of missed pathologies detection and the economic potential of artificial intelligence technology for chest computed tomography compared and validated by experienced radiologists.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was an observational, single-center retrospective study. The study included chest computed tomography without IV contrast from June 1 to July 31, 2022, in Clinical Hospital in Yauza, Moscow. The computed tomography was processed using a complex artificial intelligence algorithm for 10 pathologies: pulmonary infiltrates, typical for viral pneumonia (COVID-19 in pandemic conditions); lung nodules; pleural effusion; pulmonary emphysema; thoracic aortic dilatation; pulmonary trunk dilatation; coronary artery calcification; adrenal hyperplasia; and osteoporosis (vertebral body height and density changes). Two experts analyzed computed tomography and compared results with artificial intelligence. Further routing was determined according to clinical guidelines for all findings initially detected and missed by radiologists. The hospital price list determined the potential revenue loss for each patient.
RESULTS: From the final 160 computed tomographies, the artificial intelligence identified 90 studies (56%) with pathologies, of which 81 (51%) were missing at least one pathology in the report. The second-stage lost potential revenue for all pathologies from 81 patients was RUB 2,847,760 ($37,251 or CNY 256,218). Lost potential revenue only for those pathologies missed by radiologists but detected by artificial intelligence was RUB 2,065,360 ($27,017 or CNY 185,824).
CONCLUSION: Using artificial intelligence as an assistant to the radiologist for chest computed tomography can dramatically minimize the number of missed abnormalities. Compared with the normal model without artificial intelligence, using artificial intelligence can provide 3.6 times more benefits. Using advanced artificial intelligence for chest computed tomography can save money.
