Authors: Vishnevsky D. A. , Prokopovich M. A. , Zuban O. N. , Chotchaev R. M. , Artamonov V. V.
Published: December 2024

Genitourinary tuberculosis is one of the most common extrapulmonary forms of tuberculosis, the diagnosis of which is difficult due to the lack of specific symptoms. One of the rare forms of renal tuberculosis is tuberculous interstitial nephritis. Isolated cases of this pathology have been described.

A clinical case of tuberculous interstitial nephritis in a 56-year-old patient is presented. During the diagnostic search, a puncture biopsy of the kidneys was performed, which revealed signs of active granulomatous interstitial nephritis and focal necrotizing glomerulonephritis. Acid-fast mycobacteria were detected in the urine. The patient received anti-tuberculosis chemotherapy (levofloxacin, ethambutol, phenazide, rifampicin, ertapenem), given the decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to 3.4 ml/min/1,73м2, renal replacement therapy was carried out renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis 4 hours 2 times a week). After 4 months of treatment, an improvement in renal function was noted (GFR 12 ml\min\1,73м2), which required switching to hemodialysis and transferring the patient to the continuation phase of chemotherapy. A repeat kidney biopsy was performed, which revealed chronic granulomatous interstitial nephritis, interstitial fibrosis and grade 3 tubular atrophy.

Conclusion. Timely diagnosis using puncture biopsy of the kidneys and adequate etiotropic therapy can restore kidney function in tuberculous interstitial nephritis.

Published: December 2024

In 2023, the total fertility rate in South Korea was 0.72, the lowest among all Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries. The country’s low birth rate is influenced by sociocultural factors, including negative perceptions of children and child-rearing, particularly among unmarried men and women. Shaped by these factors, the expected number of children among university students serves as a predictor for future fertility rates. This descriptive survey explored factors influencing the expected number of children among university students in a specific region of South Korea. It examined the relationship between students’ knowledge of newborn care, attitudes toward child-rearing, parental role confidence, and their expected number of children. Data were collected in August 2024 from 100 students enrolled in the Healthy Parenting Recipes course at K University in Daegu. A total of 78 valid responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ordinal logistic regression with SPSS/PC Version 29.0. The results showed that participants who prioritized maternal career (exp(B) = .381, CI: .151–.610, p = .001) and those with greater parental role confidence (exp(B) = .132, CI: .010–.254, p = .034) are more likely to desire a higher number of children. These results suggest that fostering an environment where women can balance work and childcare may increase fertility rates. Additionally, enhancing parental role confidence through parenting education may increase the expected number of children among unmarried men and women. Overall, the findings offer valuable insights for policies to address South Korea’s low birth rate.

As representações do caipira brasileiro em imagens e discursos: dos relatos de viajantes ao cinema de Mazzaropi
Authors: Silva José Aparicio da , Antunes Alfredo Cesar , Oliveira Junior Constantino Ribeiro de
Published: December 2024

Os caipiras brasileiros têm despertado o interesse de viajantes, turistas, artistas, jornalistas e pesquisadores. Suas representações são várias. Talvez as mais marcantes sejam o Jeca Tatu, personagem de Monteiro Lobato, e os “Jecas” interpretados no cinema por Mazzaropi. Este artigo discute a construção dialética do "caipira" e suas sinonímias (algumas carregadas de juízos de valor), por meio do método regressivo-progressivo, utilizando imagens e representações discursivas historicamente cruzadas (intericonicidade), ou seja, apresentando como as imagens e representações dialogam uma com a outra. Para esta análise foi criada uma linha do tempo, não necessariamente linear, partindo dos relatos de viajantes do século XIX, passando pelas definições dos dicionários, até às artes plásticas, produção musical, literatura e cinema, culminando com algumas representações contemporâneas. Por fim, foi montada uma prancha warburguiana para demonstrar as relações imagéticas observadas.

La informalidad es examinada desde una perspectiva rural del sector de estiba y desestiba, con un enfoque en el derecho laboral. Se plantea la existencia de una violación de los derechos laborales relacionados con la actividad de estiba y desestiba en cuanto a las condiciones laborales. Por lo tanto, surgen cuestionamientos sobre la razón que originó esta situación, especialmente considerando que la informalidad no tiene razón en solamente una causa y como consecuencia de esto los trabajadores de estiba y desestiba tienen muchos riesgos laborales como riesgos físicos, ergonómicos, enfermedades y accidentes en el trabajo. Estos estibadores trabajan de manera insegura, diariamente realizan trabajos de sobreesfuerzo al manipular mercaderías de gran peso sin ningún tipo de equipos de protección. Esta investigación, se desarrolla mediante una metodología mixta cualitativa – cuantitativa, en donde se ejecutó encuestas de campo a los estibadores de los puertos fluviales de la Boca, Zamora, Abel Guerra y Garcilazo de la ciudad de Yurimaguas, se toma en consideración las dinámicas y lógicas laborales de sus actores propios, concluyendo en un análisis de la realidad.

Este artigo analisa as reações ao surgimento do mandato coletivo no sistema eleitoral brasileiro, com foco nos poderes Legislativo e Judiciário. O mandato coletivo é um conceito inovador na política brasileira que visa ampliar a representatividade e a participação popular na política. A pesquisa se propõe a avaliar a jurisprudência da Justiça Eleitoral sobre o tema, bem como os Projetos de Lei e o Projeto de Emenda Constitucional que tramitam no legislativo acerca do mandato coletivo. A análise das reações ao surgimento do mandato coletivo nos poderes Legislativo e Judiciário possibilita entender melhor os desafios, as potencialidades e os entraves para a implementação desse novo modelo de representação política. O estudo busca responder às perguntas: o que explica as reações do surgimento do mandato coletivo no sistema eleitoral brasileiro nos poderes Legislativo e Judiciário? Será que é o perfil diverso de quem compõe esses mandatos? Com o objetivo de entender essas questões, a pesquisa abordará, tanto aspectos legais, quanto políticos e sociais envolvidos no tema, considerando não apenas a legislação eleitoral vigente, mas também as discussões jurídicas e políticas em torno da implementação do mandato coletivo. Por fim, este trabalho tem tem como resultado a proposição de um debate sobre inovações no sistema eleitoral brasileiro e sobre formas alternativas de representação política, visando uma maior inclusão e diversidade na política nacional.

Inúmeros pesquisadores referem-se ao uso excessivo do jargão técnico-jurídico como ‘juridiquês’ na prática social diária do Direito no Brasil. Nesse sentido, é válido considerar que o termo "juridiquês" refere-se ao jargão característico do direito, que, embora necessário para a precisão técnica, pode criar barreiras de compreensão tanto para leigos quanto para profissionais de outras áreas. Assim, a  análise dos pressupostos discursivos na linguagem jurídica envolve a identificação de normas, convenções e estruturas que moldam o discurso legal ao revelar como essas características influenciam a interpretação e a aplicação do direito. Dito isto, os aportes possíveis incluem a necessidade de simplificação e clareza na comunicação jurídica com a utilização de uma linguagem mais acessível que pode contribuir para a democratização do conhecimento jurídico, permitindo que um maior número de pessoas compreenda seus direitos e deveres. Além disso, a reflexão sobre a linguagem jurídica pode levar a uma crítica das relações de poder que permeiam o discurso legal, uma vez que a complexidade da linguagem pode ser utilizada para manter o controle sobre o conhecimento e a informação. Portanto, o estudo do "juridiquês" propõe um diálogo entre linguística e direito, visando promover uma comunicação mais eficaz na construção de um discurso jurídico que equilibre precisão técnica e clareza para a inclusão social e a efetivação dos direitos - essa abordagem crítica representa um avanço na reflexão sobre a linguagem enquanto instrumento de justiça e cidadania.

The maize/peanut intercropping is an important cereal/legume intercropping system in Liaoning. This intercropping system can reduce wind erosion, increase yield and resource use efficiency. To clarify the effects of nitrogen rate on nodulation characteristic of peanut in sole and intercropping system in semi-humid area, a micro-plot experiment was conducted at the Drought-resistant Cultivation Simulation Test Site, Liaoning, Northeast China. Including two cropping system (sole peanut and maize/peanut intercropping) and seven N rates (0, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200 and 300 kg/ha) based on the cropping pattern. The results showed that maize/peanut intercropping have the potential to enhance the nodulation of peanut and there was alleviatory effect on the inhibitory effect of N fertilization on the nodulation of peanut when intercropped with maize in earlier stage in semi-humid area. These advantages can be due to the enhancement of nodule number or facilitation of the single nodule development, or both of them by intercropping with maize. There was interaction between cropping system and the N input. More tests should be done in different climate conditions, agronomics, growing stages, and N rates to clarify the potential of peanut nodulation forming and to maximize the biological N fixation of peanut in intercropping system.

L-arginine, as one of the essential amino acids for humans and mammals, plays a crucial role in various physiological and biochemical processes, including detoxification, reproductive development, and immunity regulation. Its application has expanded from traditional feed enhancers to medicine, beauty products, and health products due to a deeper understanding of its biological role. Chemical synthesis of L-arginine leads to serious environmental pollution. Currently, protein hydrolysis and microbial fermentation are the main industrial production methods for L-arginine. Compared with other bulk amino acids, L-arginine is still mainly produced by chemical method and protein hydrolysis method. This paper aims to explore the feasibility of microbial fermentation in the production of L-argininer.
