Factors Influencing Uber Adoption In Bangladesh And Pakistan
Authors: Rahman Ummeh Habiba Faria Benteh , Zafar Muhammad Khubaib
Published: August 2020

The paper’s intention is to investigate the behavioral intentions of consumers towards the adoption of Uber with focus on effects of digitalization and shared economy on the adoption of Uber. The aim of the article is to examine the cultural factors of Bangladesh and Pakistan, which are leading people towards adopotion of non traditional source of transport. Particularly, these countries’ comparison was not done before by other researchers. Theory of Planned Behavior integrated with Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions has been used to examine the Behavioral Intention of customers of these two countries towards adoption of Uber in the research. A great comparison was done in the study by using factors of TAM, TPB and Hofstede Cultural Models. Dependent variables played important roles in showing positive and negative attitudes on independent variables. This article’s findings show that “Risk” negatively affects the Behavioral Intention. Research data is collected through online close-ended questionnaires from 145 total respondents, which limits the generalization of the study. At the end, where it identified “female” as a bigger market and provided an opportunity for Uber to categorize the risks prevalent in the society and define new strategies by adapting to the local culture by being a global company. Factors examination produced a great findings which created recommendations for future researchers followed by a conclusion.

Enrique Dussel y el mito de la modernidad
Authors: Camelo Diego Fernando
Published: August 2020

En el artículo se presenta una descripción de la crítica a la modernidad demostrada por el filósofo argentino Enrique Dussel señalando el proceso mediante el cual se fue configurando como un proyecto europeo. En efecto, el artículo plantea que dicho proyecto se postula en el marco de una centralidad que iría a justificar las prácticas coloniales implementadas. Para lograr mantenerse dentro de la dinámica histórica, estos hábitos empezaron a circunscribirse en discursos míticos so pretexto de justificar la violencia efectuada en las prácticas. Dussel, por su parte, propone la categoría de Transmodernidad como proyecto alternativo emergente a la modernidad europea. No obstante, esta propuesta es objeto de críticas como las del filósofo colombiano Santiago Castro-Gómez.
Intuición trans-demoníaca
Authors: Otálora Luna Fernando
Published: August 2020

La intuición no es tratada por la etología, lo cual la excluye de los animales no humanos, sin embargo, psicólogos, neurólogos y filósofos reconocen que la intuición, del latín intueri «mirar hacia dentro», es percibir y decidir instantáneamente, sin la participación de la razón, y con la intervención de la parte más primitiva del sistema nervioso central de los animales humanos. La fenomenología apela a la experiencia intuitiva como fundamento del estudio de la realidad, manifiesta al ser (intuitivo), tal como es. La intuición se asocia con experiencias previas, y de acuerdo al controversial misticismo cuántico: incluso con el futuro. Pero no se puede explicar con claridad racional, sino con expresiones emotivas, de por qué, luego de procesar tal información, se llega a tal conclusión, decisión o creación (œuvre d'art). La intuición es un fenómeno de animales humanos, y de animales no humanos, y más que eso. Es un fenómeno de las cosas vivas. Propongo, obviamente por intuición, su reconocimiento en un dialogo de saberes donde se ejercite más ésta y menos la razón.
Lectura musical vicaria. Lectura, comunidades interpretativas y discurso sonoro: el caso del Hei mihi Domine de Francisco Guerrero y su lectura en La Catedral de Bogotá
Authors: Fonseca Miguel
Published: August 2020

El objetivo fundamental del presente artículo consiste en vincular el concepto de comunidades interpretativas a una posible hermenéutica de la música. De este modo, el lenguaje musical podría ser interpreteado más fácilmente,  si se describe analogicamente con su raiz lingüística. De ello deviene que  una descripción de las prácticas y comunidades intepretativas de la música, estaría ampliamente emparentada con las prácticas y comunidades interpretativas de los lenguajes naturales. Esta tentación metodológica quiere razonar a través de un caso. Se pretende ver la plausibilidad de la hipótesis con un experimento. El experimento consiste en mostrar cómo se leyó la música de Francisco Guerrero en la Bogotá de la colonia, y señalar  si en este caso existen relaciones con el desarrollo de la lectura de lenguajes naturales o,  si por el contrario,  hay discontinuidades. Se quiere ver si el concepto de comunidades interpretativas puede dar cuenta en cierta medida de la dialéctica entre obra musical y el sentido extratextual del lenguaje musical. Se intentará  mostrar así que quizá la música no sea solamente un lenguaje sintáctico, sino que su semántica puede devenir de lo extramusical que se cuela en las prácticas de quien la escribe y quien la lee.

Clinical Prediction Rule for Distinguishing Bacterial From Aseptic Meningitis
Authors: Mintegi Santiago , García Silvia , Martín María José , Durán Isabel , Arana-Arri Eunate , Fernandez Catarina Livana , Benito Javier , Hernández-Bou Susanna ,   Meningitis Group of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Emergencies
Published: August 2020

BACKGROUND:

New biomarkers like procalcitonin and C-reactive protein may help design an accurate decision support tool used to identify children with pleocytosis at low or high risk of bacterial meningitis. Our objective was to develop and validate a score (that we call the meningitis score for emergencies [MSE]) to distinguish bacterial meningitis from aseptic meningitis in children with pleocytosis when initially evaluated at the emergency department.

METHODS:

We included children between 29 days and 14 years old with meningitis admitted to 25 Spanish emergency departments. A retrospective cohort from between 2011 and 2016 was used as the derivation set and a prospective cohort recruited during 2017 and 2018 was used as the validation set.

RESULTS:

Among the 1009 patients included, there were 917 cases of aseptic meningitis and 92 of bacterial meningitis. Using multivariable logistic regression analysis, we identified the following predictors of bacterial meningitis from the derivation set: procalcitonin >1.2 ng/mL, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein >80 mg/dL, CSF absolute neutrophil count >1000 cells per mm3, and C-reactive protein >40 mg/L. Using the derivation set, we developed the MSE, assigning 3 points for procalcitonin, 2 points for CSF protein, and 1 point for each of the other variables. An MSE ≥1 predicted bacterial meningitis with a sensitivity of 100% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 95.0%–100%), a specificity of 83.2 (95% CI: 80.6–85.5), and a negative predictive value of 100% (95% CI 99.4–100.)

CONCLUSIONS:

The MSE accurately distinguishes bacterial from aseptic meningitis in children with CSF pleocytosis.
Experiências de Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro (1846-1905) no Brasil: O Mosquito (1875-1877)
Authors: Silva Rosangela de Jesus
Published: August 2020

A decisão do caricaturista português Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro de ir trabalhar no Brasil em 1875 apresentou desafios e experiências importantes para a carreira do artista. Em sua atuação no jornal ilustrado e satírico O Mosquito (1869-1877) precisou dialogar e conquistar o público de um país que, embora culturalmente próximo de Portugal, tinha suas particularidades. Conviveu com outros caricaturistas, compartilhou vivências e experimentou um meio jornalístico competitivo, por vezes, hostil à sua condição de “estrangeiro”. A partir do conceito de “transferência cultural” o qual propõe analisar as relações entre a América Latina e Europa sob perspectiva não hierárquica, mas enquanto “intercâmbios multilaterais” (COMPAGNON, 2005), a proposta do artigo é analisar algumas das estratégias de Bordalo em seus momentos inicias no Brasil, assim como seus diálogos com outros artistas e periódicos ilustrados.
Os “novos bandeirantes” em marcha: o jornal Anhanguera como expressão do ideário bandeirista
Authors: Coelho George Leonardo Seabra
Published: August 2020

No presente artigo, avaliaremos a importância do jornal Anhanguera como principal veículo midiático de divulgação do ideário do Movimento Bandeira em meados de 1937. Para tanto, discutiremos as bases ideológicas desse movimento, seus membros e a forma de divulgação de seu ideário e, ao mesmo tempo, apontaremos como esse jornal foi recebido entre militares e civis. Um último ponto de destaque desse artigo será a forma como os redatores do jornal Anhanguera criticavam a figura de Getúlio Vargas e defendiam a candidatura de Armando de Salles à Presidência da República. Para que seja possível o desenvolvimento desse estudo, contaremos com as contribuições de Norbert Elias, Roger Chartier e Tania Regina de Luca, de modo que, esses autores nos auxiliarão no entendimento da articulação de uma “sociedade de indivíduos” através do jornal Anhanguera, a qual tem como habitus social a apropriação das representações literária do bandeirante paulista recheada por representações políticas.

Authors: Brito Veronica Perius de , Carrijo Alice Mirane Malta , Oliveira Stefan Vilges de
Published: August 2020

Sabe-se que a gravidade da doença pelo novo coronavírus (COVID-19) é influenciada por comorbidades, como a Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Assim, esta revisão objetivou apresentar as evidências sobre a associação entre essa doença e a gravidade da COVID-19, bem como seus potenciais fatores mediadores. A busca de dados se deu no dia 21 de maio de 2020, utilizando as bases Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELO e PubMed, com os descritores: “Diabetes Mellitus” e “COVID-19”. Após aplicação dos critérios de exclusão, incluiu-se 13 estudos. Pela análise, os pacientes que evoluíram para maus prognósticos eram mais velhos (40-77 anos) e do sexo masculino (53,6% a 80,8%). Esse padrão foi reproduzido entre os infectados diabéticos, dentre os quais também se observou maior frequência de casos graves (31,8 a 61,9%) e maior letalidade (7,8 a 81,3%). Pela análise laboratorial, observou-se que há maior tendência à neutrofilia, leucocitose e linfopenia entre os diabéticos. Além disso, esses apresentaram maiores taxas de citocinas e marcadores inflamatórios, sugerindo o desenvolvimento de uma resposta imune desregulada e de um quadro inflamatório grave. Concluiu-se que a Diabetes Mellitus está associada com a maior gravidade da COVID-19, além de estar associada à suscetibilidade de seus portadores à doenças infecciosas.
Ankara Üniversitesi Araştırmacılarının Araştırma Verilerinin Yönetimine Yönelik Tutumları ve Veri Paylaşımı Önündeki Engeller
Authors: Zencir Mithat Baver , Oğuz Tülay
Published: August 2020

Araştırma verisi, bilim dünyası için doğrulama amaçlı kullanımları, ekonomik ve toplumsal değerleri ile kilit bir öneme sahiptir. Bu nedenle verilerin açık hale getirilmesi ve paylaşımı önündeki engellerin kaldırılması gerekir. Bu çalışma, Ankara Üniversitesi bünyesinde Bilimsel Araştırma Projeleri’nde (BAP) yürütücü olarak görev yapan araştırmacıların araştırma verilerinin yönetimine yönelik tutumlarını ortaya çıkartmayı ve veri paylaşımı önündeki engelleri belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada betimleme yöntemi kullanılmış ve veri toplama tekniği olarak anket tercih edilmiştir. Toplam 194 araştırmacıdan bulguların toplandığı çalışmada, katılımcıların veriyi etkili bir şekilde yönetemedikleri ortaya çıkmıştır. Araştırmacıların büyük bir bölümü; yazılı bir veri yönetim planı hazırlamamakta, araştırmanın tamamlanmasından sonra veriye ilişkin devam eden uygulamaları kapsamlı bir şekilde planlamamakta, büyük miktarda veriyi kurumsal depolama alanları dışında tutmakta ve üst veri oluşturmada kabul görmüş standartları kullanmamaktadırlar. Veri yönetim süreçlerinde bilimsel alana özgü etkinin de ortaya konduğu çalışmada; oluşturulan veri türleri, verinin tutulduğu dosya türleri, üretilen veri miktarı, üst veriye aşinalık ve veri paylaşımını etkileyen nedenler gibi konularda bilimsel alanlar arası istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu çalışmada ortaya çıkan en önemli sonuçlardan biri; katılımcıların verilerini yayın yolu ile paylaşmayı yeterli bulmalarıdır. Dolayısı ile araştırmacılar, araştırma verisini değil, sonuçlarını/bulgularını paylaşmayı tercih etmektedirler. Bu durum, açık araştırma verisi düşüncesi ile çelişmektedir. Araştırmacıların veri paylaşımı önündeki engeller; mevcut akademik sistem ve araştırma fikirlerinin/yöntemlerinin çalınma endişesi ile yakından ilgilidir. Bunların yanı sıra, veri yönetim süreçlerindeki problemler, konuya ilişkin hukuki düzenleme ve hizmet eksiklikleri gibi meseleler veri paylaşımı önündeki diğer engellerdir.
The Impact Of Lexical Stress Type and Position of a Vowel Within a Phrase on Vowel Formant Bandwidths
Authors: Batalin Sergey
Published: August 2020

The article sets out to explore the impact of different types of lexical stress and word position within a phrase as well as the interaction of these factors on formant bandwidths. The findings contribute to establishing the role of these formant features as acoustic correlates of the Russian lexical stress. The experimental material for analysis is presented by the Russian sound [a] embedded in a word in a natural language carrier phrase. The word position is changed from phrase initial to the phrase final one and in each position the target word is uttered with a neutral and an emphatic stress by four speakers. The Praat software is used to extract the mean values of the first four formant bandwidths of the target vowel. Two-way ANOVA is carried out to establish the significance of difference between neutrally and emphatically stressed vowels in all the three phrasal positions. The impact of phrasal position and stress type is clearly pronounced and is valid for all the four speakers. Specific trends in bandwidth alterations are hard to identify in most cases because of inconsistent fluctuations of formant bandwidths and a heavy influence of the speakers' idiolects: formant bandwidths expand, contract or remain unchanged. An explanation of the results obtained is suggested.
The Symbolism of the Earth in the Poems by M.I. Tsvetaeva
Authors: Pimenova Marina , Dutbaeva Saule , Moshina Elena
Published: August 2020

The article considers the poems by Marina Tsvetaeva in the aspect of elemental symbolism. The article aims to describe traditional for Russian linguistic culture and individual author's symbolism of the earth in M.I. Tsvetaeva's poems. The choice of the research object stipulates scientific novelty of the study, which was fulfilled applying descriptive and conceptual research methods. It has been noted, that the symbols, traditionally assigned to Russian linguistic culture, are represented in the poems by Tsvetaeva as pre-Christian: the earth is described by the poetess as a place of habitation, residence, Motherland, a house, arable land; the symbol of imperishability and support. The earth is one of the extrema – the lower and the upper points in vertical dimension, where the former denotes the ground and the Man as opposed to the latter, nominating the Heaven and the Creator. The ground is a Christian symbol of modesty, it is associated with death, ashes, a grave pit. The analysis undertaken has enabled to reveal individual author's symbols of the earth: earth – rock / stone; earth – mountain, unknown land – the sea, the earth – the air, the salt of the earth – talented people / victim. It has been shown, that the author's perception of a particular worldview fragment supplements the conceptual structure of macro concept "earth" with characteristics, which are not included into the structure of national concept.
Functions and Linguistic Peculiarities of Verse
Authors: Skulacheva Tatyana , Kostyuk Alexander
Published: August 2020

The article focuses on linguistic differences between verse and prose. The researchers analyzed the peculiarities of verse building which do not depend on the language, time of creation, versification system, literature or individual author's style, and can be easily identified in verse up to the cases verging with prose. The study is exemplified by Russian and French verse and prose of the 17 th – 20 th centuries; the phonetic analysis is performed on recorded declamations of Russian verse of the 19 th – 20 th centuries, using "Praat" program. Syntactic, intonational and semantic features of verse are described. In considered verse, as compared to prose written by the same author, parataxis occurrence is noted to increase; its intonation is more level and monotonous. Words with different information loading were also studied. It was proved, that in prose more informationally loaded words most often occupy position at the end of a phrase under phrase stress, while in verse they are distributed with no preference to particular position. Special attention is paid to intonation, in particular, tonal range contraction, that was described applying the method of tonal frame construction building. All the revealed peculiarities of verse are noted to cause difficulties in prompt text comprehension. Hypothesis on the correlation of obtained linguistic data with the mechanisms of creative thinking promotion is also suggested.
Pragmatic Markers in the Aspect of Communicative Alignmen
Authors: Troshchenkova Ekaterina , Blinova Olga
Published: August 2020

The article presents a model of communicative alignment in pragmatic markers (PM) use in Russian everyday dialogical communication. The main objectives are to check whether speakers coordinate their linguistic behavior not just with the use of lexemes or grammar forms or constructions, but also with PMs and how this actually works. We suppose that the use of PM by one of the speakers in the dialogue may increase the chances that the same PM will be used by the other speaker. In a Russian speech corpus "One Day of Speech" there were found 57 macro-episodes of communication where the PM koroche / koroche govorya was used by multiple speakers (46 episodes with 2 speakers using the PM, 11 – with 3 speakers). The analysis of PM use applying the system of quantitative parameters, worked out by the authors, has enabled them to note, that medium frequency of PM use rises when the number of speakers increases. PM used by speaker 1 is repeated by speaker 2, thus inducing speaker 3 to use the same PM, which influences the speech of the first two speakers respectively. The data analysis allows us to conclude that the original hypothesis of alignment in PMs has been proved for the marker we studied.
Cognitive Basis of Making Creative Decisions in Translation Activities
Authors: Kolmogorova Anastasia , Chistova Elena
Published: August 2020

The purpose of the paper is to model the cognitive mechanism of generating creative elements in translation activities that are increasingly relevant in the context of modern requirements for the translator's work. The authors systematize, refine and supplement the available theoretical knowledge about translation creativity. The authors describe the available results of searching for creativity in target texts. The paper provides a cognitive mechanism scheme that launches creative ideas in translation activities. It works by constructing a cognitive focus – a sort of conscious reasonable integration of cognitive orientations, translation strategies and mental operations, actualizing weak associative links between mental representations available in the information field of the translation subject, in most cases leads to making creative translation decisions that require high efforts. The results of the study showed that translation creativity goes beyond the limits of linguistic creativity, and is realized both with the help of linguistic (ready-made speech word forms or new word-formations), and paralinguistic (color gamut, etc.). The examples considered in the article show that modulation and "thinking transcription" are the most productive mental operations of generating creative translation decisions. Strategies for domestication and transcreation also contribute most to the development of translation creativity.
English War Discourse: Diachronic Aspect
Authors: Srebryanskaya Natalia
Published: August 2020

The article considers the features of English military discourse development over several centuries (11 th –21 st centuries). Particular attention is paid to modern signs of the war discourse, which is treated as a part of political discourse. The material for diachronic analysis is represented with the written sources of ancient and Middle English epics. Modern English military discourse is considered on the basis of media publications. Historical sources give information about the methods of waging war with the use of steel and firearms, its scale, and the heroism of warriors. The analysis undertaken has made it possible to single out the features of modern English discourse of war: the use of euphemisms, numerous neologisms and techniques of speech manipulation. Euphemisms are often represented with lexemes from dictionary entries referring to the word war or lexical substitutes with the most generalized non-specific semantics. Neologisms of military discourse arise as a result of linguistic and extralinguistic factors. Linguistic factors are the creation and use of euphemisms for statements about the unsightly facts of war. Extralinguistic factors include the emergence of new types of warfare and military technology. Some new types of warfare that use information technology are considered. Conclusions concerning international character of military terminology and rapid development of war discourse at present are drawn in the article.

COVID-19 dynamical evolution prediction in Mexico, decision making and social implementation: mid/low income countries study
Authors: Fernandez-Erana Saasil , Fernandez-Erana Labna , Fernandez-Guasti Manuel
Published: August 2020

A normal distribution approach is implemented to predict the evolution of the COVID-19 epidemic. The fit to the COVID-19 daily cases in Mexico, in the rising stage of the epidemic, is a very good continuous approximation to the data with R2 = 0.976. The derivative of this function provides a measure of the increase/decrease or acceleration of new cases per day that are otherwise buried in the noise of the raw data. The predictions are depicted in a novel 3D way, so as to convey the evolution of the forecasts as data becomes available. The estimations are in accordance within standard deviation, with the logistic and Gompertz functions fitted to the corresponding epidemic models. This scheme can be used to model the epidemic and use it as an ancillary for decision making at a municipal or regional level. Simplicity with robust prediction is favoured, so that the model can be understood and implemented by local government advisors or personnel not familiar with specialized statistical methods.

Objective: Megameatus intact prepuce is described as subset of megalourethra or distal hypospadias by several authors. Despite suggested different operative techniques, some authors prefer not to operate this variant of penile anomaly. We aimed to evaluate 31 patients operated due to megameatus intact prepuce and associated anomalies .

Material and methods: Thirtyone patients operated between 2008-2018 for MIP were evaluated retrospectively. All data were collected from hospital records. Patient age, application reasons, raphe anomalies, associated genitourinary and extragenitourinary pathologies, operative techniques, and postoperative complications were analyzed.

Results: Mean age was 50 months (8-128 months). Ten of the patients had raphe anomalies. Genital raphe hyperpigmentation was seen in 1 patient, raphe deviation and bifurcated raphe was seen in6 and 3 patients respectively. Genitourinary anomalies were detected in 7 patients, bilateral undescended testes in 1 patient, penile chordee in 2 patients, ureteropelvic junction obstruction in 2 patients, penoscrotal web in 1 patient, nocturnal enuresis in one patient. Tubularized incised plate urethroplasty (TIPU) (n=5), tubularized urethral plate urethroplasty (TUPU)(n=16) and meatoplasty (n=10) were the operative techniques.

Conclusion: . Co-occuring raphe anomalies should arise awareness of MIP among the clinicians who are engaged with the children’s medical conditions and also the possible anomalies especially in the societies which circumcision is not traditionally required. Further studies with large number series needed for better understanding of this pathology.

Published: August 2020

A assistência a usuários com transtorno mental no Brasil vem passando por diversas reformulações. Atualmente, esse público é atendido em Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS) por uma equipe multiprofissional que realiza o cuidado através de diferentes propostas terapêuticas. Este trabalho busca apresentar a experiência de um grupo de treinamento de habilidades sociais (THS) em um CAPS. O THS foi desenvolvido com 7 usuários com transtorno mental grave, teve duração de 12 sessões baseadas em cronograma de temáticas específicas e foi coordenado por dois profissionais, da enfermagem e psicologia. Este estudo é um relato de experiência baseado nos registros e observações dos profissionais. A participação dos usuários no grupo permitiu o desenvolvimento de habilidades como autonomia, responsabilidade e assertividade diante de situações sociais. As características de grupo fechado e perfil semelhante permitiram a boa vinculação dos participantes e a formação de uma identidade grupal, características fundamentais para a proposta do THS. Como fatores limitadores identificou-se a diferença na capacidade cognitiva de dois participantes que demandaram maior flexibilização e tempo para algumas propostas. A realização da proposta de THS com usuários com transtorno mental grave em um CAPS mostrou-se efetiva, atingindo os objetivos propostos e configurando-se como uma prática clínica inovadora no contexto da saúde mental coletiva.
Reminiscências da Teoria Tradicional do Currículo: um mapeamento da conjuntura norte-americana sobre o inaugurar do século XX
Authors: Maia Júlio César Apolinário
Published: August 2020

O presente estudo caracteriza-se como uma pesquisa bibliográfica objetivada a compreender o sentido dado à dinâmica curricular a partir das nuances sócio‐político‐culturais que se protagonizaram nos Estados Unidos da América durante o primeiro meado do século passado. Configura-se em cinco tópicos consequentes, a partir de um espectro histórico, que discorrem desde o processo de institucionalização da educação em massa, fomentador do surgimento da Teoria Curricular Tradicional (primórdios do século passado), até o momento de crise da proposta curricular de Tyler (meados do século XX). Também é alvo de especulação deste estudo, no decorrer do trajeto histórico considerado, evidenciar as contribuições de Dewey e Bobbit frente à Teoria Tradicional do Currículo. O esforço de síntese paira sobre o desfalecimento desta perspectiva curricular frente à necessidade humana pela reconfiguração do abarrotado cenário educacional norte-americano.

Published: August 2020

O presente estudo tem como objetivo geral analisar o retorno ao trabalho dos transplantados renais acompanhados no Hospital Universitário Walter Cantídio (HUWC). A pesquisa traz como objetivos específicos: 1) identificar os fatores que influenciam no processo de retorno ao trabalho; 2) identificar o índice de reinserção ao trabalho por transplantados renais atendidos no HUWC no período de junho/2018 a dezembro/2018. Trata-se de pesquisa quali-quantitativa, referenciada por Minayo (2011) que diz que esses tipos de investigação não se opõem, ao contrário, se complementam, pois a realidade abrangida por elas interage dinamicamente. Na estruturação metodológica do estudo realizamos pesquisa bibliográfica, pesquisa documental e pesquisa de campo, utilizando, para a análise dos dados, a análise de conteúdo, considerada como o tipo de metodologia particularmente utilizada para estudar material do tipo qualitativo possibilitando, assim, um estudo crítico dos dados coletados, das representações sociais dos sujeitos entrevistados, estabelecendo, por sua vez, um diálogo com o fenômeno estudado. Compreendemos que a submissão ao transplante renal traz impactos positivos para os que aderem ao tratamento, sobretudo em relação à melhoria da qualidade de vida, e na autonomia das atividades da vida diária. Não obstante, em relação à realização de atividades laborais o que se observa é que de um modo geral é difícil o retorno ao trabalho, mantendo-se a dependência de benefícios da seguridade social, e os que conseguem algum retorno ao trabalho, o conseguem de forma gradativa, informal e sem suporte de outras políticas sociais, principalmente as relacionadas a reabilitação profissional.

Published: August 2020

Urbanization is one of the main drivers of ecological change in the modern world. In most cases, species diversity in urban landscapes is lower than in natural ones; however, some groups of animals are able to exploit and benefit from urban habitat. Pipistrellus kuhlii s.l. is (P. k. lepidus according to recent taxonomic review), a common European urban bat, whose range has expanded on a wide scale in the last 40 years. Thought to originate in Central Asia, this species has extended its range throughout Eastern and Central and Europe (a distance of more than 2,500 km2) in part by using human settlements as a habitat. This study examines the ecological features of P. k. lepidus in wintertime in the Eastern part of Ukraine, where this species has been living for 20 years. Thirty-nine winter records of P. k. lepidus(1,301 individuals totally) were selected from the database of the Bat Rehabilitation Center of Feldman Ecopark, 19 of which were groups from 2 to 641 individuals. Pipistrellus k. lepidus was found in various types of structures, but most often in administrative buildings (school buildings - 69%). Records were usually obtained during renovation works (85%), and the roosting sites were cavities between the wooden planks of window frames and a wall (75%). The records were obtained in 26 settlements, from a village (0,293 kmand 252 people) to the biggest cities in the country (Kharkiv and Odessa). The sex ratio in winter aggregation in adults varied from 47% to 61% of females and for this-year individuals from 48% to 58%, respectively. The body mass at the end of the hibernation period (February/March) decreases for 17–20% compared to the beginning of the period (December). Adult females have bigger body size (body mass and forearm length) (p-value < 0.05). Our results showed that P. k. lepidus is capable of forming homogeneous, sedentary populations in all types of settlements in Ukraine for these twenty years. However, this choice of habitat means that the species faces a high mortality risk from humans during building renovation and insulation works or pest control actions.

O Estudo de Impacto de Vizinhança (EIV), oriundo da Constituição Federal, é uma ferramenta de planejamento e gestão urbana que se fundamenta por garantir a participação popular nos rumos da cidade e apresentar a sociedade e ao Poder Público os impactos gerados quanto à instalação de determinado empreendimento. O Estatuto das Cidades estabelece que lei municipal deve definir qual empreendimento estará sujeito ao EIV, entretanto, somente 39,17 % dos municípios brasileiros presidiram a responsabilização desta política urbana. Nova Xavantina – MT é um dos municípios que não possui legislação específica que regulamente o EIV, no entanto, apesar da “dispensa” legislativa, os empreendimentos instalados trazem impactos a população local. Neste contexto, o estudo objetiva analisar os reflexos de uso e ocupação do solo quanto à implantação do Fórum da Comarca de Nova Xavantina no bairro Jardim Alvorada, bem como realizar um levantamento junto aos moradores sobre a percepção do fato. Os procedimentos metodológicos basearam-se na pesquisa em campo que propiciou o mapeamento da área de influência e a realização de entrevistas com 25 moradores do entorno. Os resultados são, em geral, favoráveis, pois apesar dos impactos descritos pelos moradores, há uma pretensão de melhorias no bairro envolvendo questões econômicas e sociais.

Infraestrutura dos parques urbanos da Vila Jaguaribe Osasco, SP: uma análise comparativa como ferramenta de gestão ambiental pública.
Authors: Martins Guilherme Nogueira , Nascimento Ana Paula Branco do
Published: August 2020

Os parques urbanos são fragmentos importantes para a conservação da biodiversidade, mitigação dos efeitos da poluição, controle do microclima, promoção de atividades de lazer e recreacionais para os frequentadores, dentre outros serviços ecossistêmicos oferecidos por estes ambientes para a população citadina. Para que estes benefícios oferecidos atinja a população urbana de forma mais eficiente, torna-se necessário que estes ambientes tenham uma infraestrutura mínima adequada disponível para os seus frequentadores. O objetivo deste artigo foi levantar, avaliar e comparar estrutura e equipamentos disponíveis nos dois parques urbanos disponíveis na Vila Jaguaribe, em Osasco, SP. Para isso, foi utilizado um roteiro estruturado disponível e utilizado na literatura científica com adaptações para parques. Foram observadas as infraestruturas existentes, sendo descritas a sua ausência ou presença, assim como, foram avaliadas as condições de cada uma, atribuindo notas conforme: até 0,5 péssimo; de 0,5 a 1,5 ruim; de 1,5 a 2,5 regular; de 2,5 a 3,5 bom; de 3,5 a 4,0 ótimo. Os resultados apontam que ambos os parques carecem de melhorias, mas que obtiveram boas avaliações, Parque Jaguaribe (2,5 – regular/bom) e Parque de Lazer Antônio Temporim (3,3 - bom). No entanto, no Parque de Lazer Antônio Temporim, está mais bem avaliado do que o Parque Jaguaribe. Recomenda-se ao órgão gestor destes espaços, a devida manutenção, ações corretivas e direcionadas para a conservação destes espaços.

Optimized HT gDNA extraction from Dried Blood Spot using QIAcube HT for Malaria Genomic Epidemiology Studies v1
Authors: A. Fola Abebe
Published: August 2020

Genomic DNA (gDNA) extracts from human dried blood spots (DBS) are commonly used for infectious diseases surveillance, genomic epidemiology studies of targeted pathogens, and Biobanking. In particular, DBS samples are routinely collected during cross-sectional and large-scale epidemiological studies (i.e. Malaria Indicator Survey) in malaria-endemic countries for malaria surveillance and genomic studies. DBS samples have multiple advantages over venous blood, including less invasive sample blood collection (finger prick) and the recommended short- and long-term storage at room temperature, which facilitates sample transportation (domestically or internationally). Here we present an optimized high throughput gDNA extraction protocol to recover Plasmodium gDNA from human DBS (collected on Whatman filter paper) using field samples from Zambia and stored at room temperature with desiccant pellet (up to 2 years). Using the QIAcube HT instrument and QIAmp DNA 96-well kit, this protocol allows for gDNA extraction from human DBS samples in a manner that is automated, reproducible, and fast when compared to other methods. After gDNA extraction is completed, genomic DNA quantity and integrity is assessed using Qubit 1x dsDNA High Sensitivity Assay and Genomic DNA ScreenTape on the Agilent TapeStation 4150, respectively. In this case, gDNA samples that were obtained from field collected human DBS samples and extracted using this optimized protocol were then used for Plasmodium falciparum whole-genome sequencing by hybrid capture. Using this protocol, we first compared gDNA concentration between 2X6mm and 3X3mm Uni Core full punch (100% blood punch) and found a statistically significant difference in DNA concentration obtained from 2x6mm (ng/µL) vs 3x3mm DBS punches (range =0.44-2.01ng/µL) (P-value= 0.0003) with a median increased of ~4-fold in the gDNA yield when using 2x6mm hole punches. See the attached Comparison of DNA concentration 2X6mm vs 3X3mm Uni Core Punch documents. Furthermore, we tested and demostrated that using this protocol with 2X6mm punches, it is feasible to successfully extract sufficient gDNA for P. falciparum whole genome capture and deep sequencing from DBS samples (n=93) that had been stored at RT for up to 2 years with variable level of parasitemia. While generally concentrations were outside the recommended range for the Genomic DNA ScreenTape for the TapeStation DIN calculation, from those samples DIN was estimated, values ranged from 6.2 - 8.7 with average fragment peaks of 35,325 bp, indicating that DNA integrity is suitable for downstream analysis. Becuase these were field DBS samples, we reported high variation in gDNA concentration (ranges= 0.50-4.88ng/µL) which reflected the variation in blood volume and adsorbance across DBS samples. See the attached gDNA concentration for 93 DBS field samples documents.
