Voltage control of standalone photovoltaic – electrolyzer- fuel cell-battery energy system
Authors: Malla Priyanka , Malla Siva Ganesh , Calay Rajnish Kaur
Published: September 2022

The study investigates the implementation of novel Neuro-Fuzzy controllers to maintain the power quality for standalone Photovoltaic (PV)-Electrolyzer-Fuel Cell- Battery based power generation systems. Standalone solar based power generation systems are widely becoming popular particularly in the remote areas with no connectivity to a grid. There are challenges to maintain the power output to meet the demand in these standalone systems because of the random nature of solar irradiances, variation of load and no irradiance during night time. The battery bank is required to store the excess energy for use later when required. The battery bank is integrated into a standalone system through a bidirectional DC to DC converter. However, large batteries are costly and require maintenance. Hence, electrolyzer and fuel cell are also integrated with respective DC to DC converters to make a cost effective operation. Small size battery bank is used to stabilize dc-link voltage during transients due to slow dynamics of electrolyzer and fuel cells. The maximum power point tracking (MPPT) device and perturbed and observed algorithm is used for the PV system to operate at maximum utilization. In this paper Neuro-Fuzzy controller based novel controllers are implemented to inverter and DC to DC converters for supplying quality power to both three phase and single phase loads at AC load bus. The presented results are examined through hardware-in-loop on the platform of OPAL-RT to investigate the proposed controllers in all the possible scenarios of a 1 MW standalone system. Results show that the proposed controllers improve the power quality and eliminate the frequency oscillations from the system voltage.
Realization of large transmitted optical Goos–Hänchen shifts in photonic crystal slabs
Authors: Du Shihao , Zhang Wenjie , Liu Wenzhe , Zhang Yanbin , Zhao Maoxiong , Shi Lei
Published: September 2022

In this letter, we demonstrate the existence of large transmitted optical positive and negative Goos–Hänchen shifts in photonic crystal slabs numerically and experimentally. The Goos–Hänchen shift we observed directly reaches ∼20 μm, which is 30 times the wavelength, approaching the radius of the beam waist. To explain this phenomenon, we measure the transmission phase through the phase measurement system and find there is an acute phase change near the resonance in photonic crystal slabs, which enhances the Goos–Hänchen shift. Our experimental results are consistent with simulation, and the work can be used to modulate the propagation of light in further research.
Tainted Trees: Uncovering the Long Shadow over Germany’s Medieval Maypoles and Ancient Tree Cults
Authors: Bryda Gregory C.
Published: September 2022

This article revisits sources on German maypoles and tree cults in the ancient, medieval, and modern periods. It opens important historiographic horizons on at least three fronts, from the church’s relationship to tree-oriented customs throughout the Middle Ages, to the National Socialist appropriation of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century folkloric scholarship, and to the consequent postwar aversions to any trace of modern admiration for an alleged premodern veneration of trees. It shows how postwar art historians have remained so hesitant to perpetuate narratives about pre-Christian, homogenous belief systems that revered the forests of northern Europe that they have overlooked some of the few surviving physical traces in art from Slavic Eastern Europe, whose ancient ties to nature Germans toiled to erase in both the medieval and modern eras.

Prabu Siliwangi Between History and Myth
Authors: Muhsin Z. Mumuh , Falah Miftahul
Published: September 2022

Abstract: Prabu Siliwangi is a historical figure, not a fairy tale or a mythical figure, although his figure is loaded with mythical things. Its existence is supported by several sources, both written and oral sources. Besides, the character of Prabu Siliwangi is also supported by social facts and mental facts. Prabu Siliwangi was the ruler who brought glory to the Sunda kingdom, so it is seen as the greatest king in the history of the Sunda kingdom stood. Nevertheless, from the manuscript, Carita Parahiangan (15th century), which contains information of the rulers of the Sunda kingdom, no king of Sunda is named Prabu Siliwangi. Then, who is Prabu Siliwangi? To answer the question, a historical study was conducted by implementing a historical research method that is operationally composed of four phases, namely Heuritsik, criticism, interpretation, and historiography. The results showed that Prabu Siliwangi was a historical figure-Legendary. The people in Tatar Sunda very emotionally remember the people. There are various opinions on the identification of this character. Some argue that this nickname refers only to one character, but some have the opinion of the four figures and more. From the various sources of the manuscript used in this article, the identification of Prabu Siliwangi led to Prabu Sri Baduga Maharaja (1482-1521), the ruler of the Sunda kingdom who is domiciled Pakwan Pajajaran.Â Abstrak: Prabu Siliwangi adalah seorang tokoh sejarah, bukan dongeng atau tokoh mitos walaupun sosoknya sarat dengan hal-hal yang bersifat mitos. Keberadaannya didukung oleh beberapa sumber, baik sumber tertulis maupun lisan. Selain itu karakter Prabu Siliwangi juga didukung oleh fakta sosial dan fakta mental. Prabu Siliwangi adalah penguasa yang membawa kejayaan kerajaan sunda, sehingga dipandang sebagai raja terbesar dalam sejarah kerajaan sunda berdiri. Namun demikian, dari naskah Carita Parahiangan (abad ke-15) yang memuat informasi tentang para penguasa kerajaan Sunda, tidak ada raja Sunda yang bernama Prabu Siliwangi. Lalu, siapakah Prabu Siliwangi? Untuk menjawab pertanyaan tersebut maka dilakukan studi sejarah dengan menerapkan metode penelitian sejarah yang secara operasional terdiri dari empat tahap yaitu heuritsik, kritik, interpretasi, dan historiografi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Prabu Siliwangi adalah seorang tokoh sejarah-Legendaris. Orang-orang tersebut sangat diingat secara emosional oleh orang-orang di Tatar Sunda. Ada berbagai pendapat tentang identifikasi karakter ini. Ada yang berpendapat bahwa julukan ini hanya mengacu pada satu tokoh, tetapi ada pula yang berpendapat tentang empat tokoh dan banyak lagi. Dari berbagai sumber naskah yang digunakan dalam artikel ini, identifikasi Prabu Siliwangi mengarah pada Prabu Sri Baduga Maharaja (1482-1521), penguasa kerajaan Sunda yang berdomisili di Pakwan Pajajaran.Â Â
Madjelis Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia: The Role of National Scientific Institute amidst the Cold War
Authors: Mulyasari Prima Nurahmi
Published: September 2022

Abstract: After gaining Independence from the Dutch in 1945, Indonesia urged to found its national research institute. Therefore, the government launched Indonesian Science Council (Madjelis Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia/MIPI) in 1956. MIPI was established based on Act. No 6/1956 and acted as the highest national scientific institution with research activities covering the natural sciences, cultural and social sciences. Meanwhile, following the Cold War between the Communist (Soviet) Bloc and the Capitalist (US Bloc), the 1950s saw the rise of communism in South East Asia. The situation worried Americans who, under President Eisenhower, were active in fighting against the spread of communist ideology by giving aids to the countries in the region. Using the history of knowledge as the perspective and employing primary sources, namely Bulletin MIPI, Berita MIPI, this article depicts scientific activities conducted by MIPI in rivalries between the Soviet Bloc and US Bloc during The Cold War. Having good American connections, Madjelis Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia had proved to be an eminent actor to promote, produce, and distribute scientific knowledge in the countryâ€™s history.Â Abstrak: Setelah memperoleh kemerdekaan dari Belanda pada tahun 1945, Indonesia perlu segera mendirikan lembaga penelitian nasional. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah mendirikan Madjelis Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (MIPI) Indonesia pada tahun 1956. MIPI didirikan berdasarkan Undang-Undang. no 6/1956 dan bertindak sebagai lembaga ilmiah nasional tertinggi dengan kegiatan-kegiatan yang meliputi ilmu alam, budaya dan ilmu sosial. Sementara itu, dekade 1950-an merupakan periode kebangkitan komunisme di Asia Tenggara. Situasi itu membuat pemerintah Amerika khawatir. Di bawah Presiden Eisenhower mereka aktif memerangi penyebaran ideologi komunis dengan memberikan bantuan kepada negara-negara di kawasan itu. Menggunakan sejarah pengetahuan sebagai perspektif dan memanfaatkan sumber-sumber primer yaitu Buletin MIPI, Berita MIPI artikel ini menggambarkan kegiatan ilmiah yang dilakukan oleh MIPI dalam konteks persaingan antara Blok Soviet dan Blok Amerika Serikat dalam periode Perang Dingin. Memiliki koneksi yang baik dengan Amerika Serikat, Madjelis Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia pernah menjadi aktor utama dalam mempromosikan, memproduksi dan mendistribusikan pengetahuan ilmiah dalam sejarah negara ini.Â
The Advent of Capitalism and Malay Dilemma in Money Economy: The Foundation of Business Corporation and Cooperative Societies in Colonial Malaya
Authors: Abdullah A Rahman Tang
Published: September 2022

Abstract: This article discusses the Malay dilemma in facing the expansion of money economy in the Malay society in early 20th century Malaya. Historically, the advent of capitalism during this period instigated the growing importance of money economy. However, in the rural economy, the Malay commoners known as â€˜rakyatâ€™ were not widely exposed to money economy. The prevalence of money economy in the Malay society was limited to the Malay upper class of royal kinsmen and nobles because of their dominance over the surplus, notably found in the form of taxation imposed on the rakyat who were mostly peasants. This situation began to change in the beginning of the 20th century when credit facilities for agricultural activities became available for the Malay commoners that eventually paved the way for the rakyat to gradually venture into small businesses and be exposed to money economy. In order to address the problem related to indebtedness, there were initiatives to establish cooperative societies for rural credits. However, these initiatives were always overshadowed by the imposition of interests on the loans. This is because such interests were perceived as ribaâ€™ or usury, which were regarded as haram or impermissible in Islam. Nevertheless, based on historical circumstances, it can be argued that the establishment of cooperative societies was regarded as the more viable means than business ventures in incorporating the Malay peasant community into money economy.Â Abstrak: Artikel ini membahas dilema Melayu dalam menghadapi ekspansi ekonomi uang dalam masyarakat Melayu di Malaya awal abad ke-20. Secara historis, munculnya kapitalisme selama periode ini mendorong semakin pentingnya ekonomi uang. Namun, dalam perekonomian pedesaan, rakyat jelata Melayu yang dikenal sebagai 'rakyat' tidak banyak terekspos pada ekonomi uang. Prevalensi ekonomi uang dalam masyarakat Melayu terbatas pada kelas atas Melayu dari kerabat dan bangsawan kerajaan karena dominasi mereka atas surplus, terutama ditemukan dalam bentuk pajak yang dikenakan pada rakyat yang sebagian besar adalah petani. Situasi ini mulai berubah pada awal abad ke-20 ketika fasilitas kredit untuk kegiatan pertanian tersedia bagi rakyat jelata Melayu yang pada akhirnya membuka jalan bagi rakyat untuk secara bertahap terjun ke bisnis kecil dan terpapar pada ekonomi uang. Untuk mengatasi permasalahan yang berkaitan dengan hutang tersebut, maka terdapat inisiatif untuk membentuk perkumpulan koperasi untuk kredit pedesaan. Namun, inisiatif ini selalu dibayangi oleh pengenaan bunga atas pinjaman. Sebab, kepentingan tersebut dianggap sebagai riba yang dianggap haram atau tidak diperbolehkan dalam Islam. Namun demikian, berdasarkan keadaan historis, dapat dikatakan bahwa pendirian koperasi dianggap sebagai cara yang lebih layak daripada usaha bisnis dalam memasukkan masyarakat petani Melayu ke dalam ekonomi uang.Â

Effect of micro- and nanofibrillated cellulose on the drying shrinkage, extensibility, and strength of fibre networks
Authors: Ketola Annika E. , Strand Anders , Sundberg Anna , Kouko Jarmo , Oksanen Antti , Salminen Kristian , Fu Shiyu , Retulainen Elias
Published: September 2022

Elongation is an important property of many packaging board and paper grades. Paper with high extensibility could provide an alternative for oil-based packaging materials. Micro- (CMF) and nanofibrillated (CNF) cellulose are known to increase the strength of a paper, but their effect on the drying shrinkage and elongation is not well-studied. In this work, paper was reinforced with fibrillated material. Added fibrillated material increased the drying shrinkage, which was generally proportional to the increase of paper elongation before breakage. Results differed depending on the fibrillated material and how it was added to paper (wet-end addition or spray application). The papers were dried unrestrained in order to achieve the highest elongation potential for the paper. Spray application of CMF increased elongation by 13%, while wet-end additions increased elongation by 20% and also strength by 10%, but only with high dosages. Spray application of oxidized-CNF improved elongation by 33%, while wet-end applications increased only strength by 20%. Thus, boosting the drying shrinkage with fibrillated cellulose is one potential way to increase elongation and 3D formability of paper.
Shear stress and interlaminar shear strength tests of cross-laminated timber beams
Authors: Lu Yao , Xie Wenbo , Wang Zheng , Gao Zizhen
Published: September 2022

The interlaminar shear stresses of the three-layer, five-layer, and seven-layer cross laminated timber (CLT) and those of the oriented laminated beams were calculated according to Hooke’s law and the differential relationship between the beam bending moment and shear force. The interlaminar and maximum shear stresses of the CLT beam are related to the number of CLT layers and to the elastic modulus ratio EL/ET (or EL/ER) of the parallel and perpendicular layers. The interlaminar shear strength of the Hemlock CLT was positively correlated with the elastic modulus of its parallel layer. The results showed that the CLT short-span beams had three failure modes when subjected to a three-point bending test, namely perpendicular layer rolling shear failure, CLT interlaminar shear failure, and parallel layer bending failure. The shear stress of the oriented laminated beam followed a parabolic distribution along the height of the section, while the shear stress of the orthogonally laminated beams tended to be balanced, rather than parabolically distributed along the height of section. The short beam three-point bending method was able to effectively test the interlaminar shear strength of CLT due to its stable and readable load.

Published: September 2022

Biogas projects are rapidly expanding in China, but there is insufficient cropland to degrade these biogas residues. Mushroom cultivation has been used to degrade various agricultural wastes. In this study, to screen the feasibility of utilizing biogas residues as potential substrates for the cultivation of Pleurotus ostreatus, seven different concentrations (0 to 60%) of biogas residue mixed with cottonseed hull, wheat bran, and lime were used to cultivate P. ostreatus. The mycelial growth rate, mycelial colonization time, yield, biological efficiency, chemical compositions, and content of four heavy metals, Cd (cadmium), Pb (lead), Hg (mercury), and As (arsenic), were analyzed. The results showed that 10 to 30% of biogas residue mixed in the substrates induced the growth of P. ostreatus mycelia faster than the others. A lower percentage (10 to 20%) of biogas residue added to the substrates is beneficial to the production and nutrient components of P. ostreatus, and the fruiting bodies produced on biogas residue-containing substrates conform to the safety standards for edible mushrooms. Although the total harvest is not significantly increased when biogas residue is added, the utilization of cheap biogas residues can conceivably reduce the practical cost and benefit the environment.
In-situ observation on the morphological behavior of bamboo under flexural stress with respect to its fiber-foam composite structure
Authors: Chen Meiling , Fei Benhua
Published: September 2022

An in-situ observation on the morphological behavior of bamboo’s fiber-foam composite structure under flexural stress was conducted, and the respective contribution of parenchymatous tissues and sclerenchyma fibers to the flexural ductility of bamboo was evaluated. Fibers or parenchymatous cells at the bottom suffered tensile stress during bending process, where initial microcracks occurred. The results suggested that the bottom parenchymatous tissues experienced a perforative tear along the loading direction, while fibers continued to stretch until several fibrous tensile failure cracks were observed. The subsequent crack growth mode was similar to that of the horizontal crack transmission that began when it reached fibers or somewhere between fibers, until another weak load-bearing point appeared, and then it expanded up through parenchymatous tissues. As a whole, the crack acted ladder-like in its growth, and the propagation paths were not restricted to a coherent one. Images of the morphological changes of the upper parenchymatous tissues and sclerenchyma fibers, which suffered compressive stress during bending process, indicated that parenchymatous tissues and sclerenchyma fibers made different contributions to the flexural ductility of bamboo. Sclerenchyma fibers supplied deformation resistance for bamboo’s macroscopic deformation, while parenchymatous tissues offered deformation space due to the variation of cellular morphology and location.

Authors: Zhou Xinjie , Guo Hui , Wang Shuo , Yu Lili , Li Hui , Yang Zhibin
Published: September 2022

The effects of different UV absorbents and preservatives on the weatherability of modified waterborne polyurethane (WPU) printed laminated bamboo were investigated. Three types of UV absorbents including 2-hydroxy-4-n-octoxy-benzophenone (UV-531), 2-(2 H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-(1,1,3,3 tetramethylbutyl) phenol (UV-329), and nano-TiO2, and four types of preservatives including boric acid (BA), borax (BX), ammonium polyphosphate (APP), and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT) were selected to modify WPU coatings. The printed laminated bamboo was tested to evaluate the coating physical and chemical properties and dimensional stability. Thirteen coating types were tested. The results showed that the 0 (20% WPU), 5 (UV-531-BA/BX), 6 (UV-531-BA/BX/APP), 7 (UV-531-BA/BX/DOT), 8 (UV-531-BA/BX/APP/DOT), and 9 (nano-TiO2/BA/BX) samples performed well in adhesion, abrasion resistance, hardness, and temperature denaturation. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra analyses and dimensional stability analysis were carried out on the six kinds of coatings screened out. FT-IR spectra analyses showed the successful introduction of UV light absorbers and flame retardants, whereas test results of hygroscopicity showed that the coated test material improved the dimensional stability performance. Test material 8(UV-531-BA/BX/APP/DOT) had the best dimensional stability performance.
Structure, Scoring and Purpose of Computing Competitions
Authors: CORMACK Gordon , MUNRO Ian , VASIGA Troy , KEMKES Graeme
Published: September 2022

We identify aspects of computing competition formats as they relate to the purpose of these competitions, both stated and tacit. We consider the major international competitions - the International Olympiad for Informatics, the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest, and top coder - and related contests whose format merits consideration. We consider the operational impact and possible outcomes of incorporating several of these aspects into scholastic competitions. We advocate, in particular, that contests be designed so as to provide a rewarding experience and opportunity for achievement for all competitors; not just the winners. Specific contest elements that should be considered are: (1) real-time scoring and feedback, (2) rewards for testing and test case creation, (3) tasks with graduated difficulty, (4) collaborative tasks, (5) practice contests and entry-level contests for novices, and (6) inclusion of spectators.
The Historicity of the Battle of Mantzikert in Verse Narrative
Authors: Vratimos Antonios , Değerli Ayşe
Published: September 2022

This paper deals with the Saljūqnāma of the Ottoman scholar Ahmed ibn Mahmud. It focuses on the two unexploited poems inserted into his Mantzikert account, and juxtaposes them with the world chronicles in verse that have been written by Constantine Manasses and Ehpraim of Ainos. The three writers recount the same event from different viewpoints. Ephraim absolves Diogenes from any responsibility, while Manasses seeks the reasons for the defeat in battle in his severe attitude. For Ahmed, the Seljuk victory came exclusively from God’s hands which were long enough to reach and protect the pious sultan with his warriors.
Preterite Formations in Niya Prakrit and Khotanese: A Case of Grammatical Interference?
Authors: Barchi Francesco , Peschl Benedikt
Published: September 2022

Some features of the North-Western Prakrit that was used as the administrative language of the kingdom of Kroraina (‘Niya Prakrit’) have in the past been more or less vaguely described as the result of language contact. One particularly striking feature that invites such an account is the innovative preterite of this Prakrit variety. We argue that, from a structural point of view, this formation and its morphosyntactic behaviour can be plausibly attributed to interference from Khotanese. In addition, a scenario involving Khotanese as a substratum language of Niya Prakrit may also be well accounted for from a historical and sociolinguistic perspective.

Authors: Jonsson Jakob , Hodgins David C. , Lyckberg Axel , Currie Shawn , Young Matthew M. , Pallesen Ståle , Carlbring Per
Published: September 2022

Background and aims

Lower-risk recommendations for avoiding gambling harm have been developed as a primary prevention measure, using self-reported prevalence survey data. The aim of this study was to conduct similar analyses using gambling company player data.

Methods

The sample (N = 35,753) were Norsk Tipping website customers. Gambling indicators were frequency, expenditure, duration, number of gambling formats and wager. Harm indicators (financial. social, emotional, harms in two or more areas) were derived from the GamTest self-assessment instrument. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves were performed separately for each of the five gambling indicators for each of the four harm indicators.

Results

ROC areas under the curve were between 0.55 and 0.68. Suggested monthly lower-risk limits were less than 8.7 days, expenditure less than 54 €, duration less than 72–83 min, number of gambling formats less than 3 and wager less than 118–140€. Most risk curves showed a rather stable harm level up to a certain point, from which the increase in harm was fairly linear.

Discussion

The suggested lower-risk limits in the present study are higher than limits based on prevalence studies. There was a significant number of gamblers (5–10%) experiencing harm at gambling levels well below the suggested cut-offs and the risk increase at certain consumption levels.

Conclusions

Risk of harm occurs at all levels of gambling involvement within the specific gambling commercial environment assessed in an increasingly available gambling market where most people gamble in multiple commercial environments, minimizing harm is important for all customers.

Palimpsest Wojtyły. Jan Paweł II, polski mesjanizm i katolicka nauka społeczna
Authors: Rojek Paweł
Published: September 2022

In 1953 Karol Wojtyła started his lectures on Catholic social teaching at the Theological Faculty of the Jagiellonian University. The course was generally based on notes prepared by Professor Jan Piwowarczyk, a former lecturer, removed from teaching for political reasons. For a long time Wojtyła’s own script was not available for researchers. Many commentators speculated about the content of his early lectures; some of them argued that Wojtyła was at that time close to Marxism, whereas others denied that the lectures were actually authored by him. Finally, in 2018, the full version of the lectures was published in Polish. It turns out that Wojtyła usually merely repeated or slightly reformulated Piwowarczyk’s material, though in some cases he added some original content. In this paper I analyse these additions to find some traces of Wojtyła’s earliest views. I argue that they clearly indicate influences of Polish romantic messianism. Wojtyła in a way translated his early inspirations into the language of Catholic social teaching. That is why he wrote about the idea of the Kingdom of God on earth, supported the doctrine of the missions of particular nations and defended the eligious meaning of collective suffering.
Reflecting on an unexpected challenge in obtaining ethical approval for research with adults with learning disabilities
Authors: Newcombe Nicolina
Published: September 2022

Obtaining ethical approval for my PhD research with adults with learning (intellectual) disabilities presented an unexpected challenge of learning to work with two sets of guidance: the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and the Ethical Conduct in Human Research and Related Activities Regulations (HRR). The CRPD binds States Parties to progress equal rights for people with disabilities of which Article 12, equal recognition before the law, disconnects mental capacity from legal capacity. The HRR protects participants, researchers and institutions and recognises mental capacity as a component of informed consent. In applying the CRPD and the HRR as complementary safeguards, and looking through the lens of edgewalking, I gained an appreciation for positively encountering complexity and incorporating multiple points of view. This article will describe how my challenging experience enabled skill building to develop a more strategic academic voice and will be of interest to student and other researchers.
Technology as ‘time saver’ and the ‘saviour’ of older adult care:
Authors: Alvsåker Yngvild Brandser , Ågotnes Gudmund
Published: September 2022

This paper analyses the political articulation and understanding of ‘technology-supported care’ for older adults in central Norwegian public policy documents. In these documents, technology is increasingly presented both as a time saver and a life saver for the welfare state. Drawing on data from document analysis of official green and white papers from the period 1973-2018, the paper describes and seeks answers to how healthcare policies have evolved towards representing a strong ‘techno-optimism’. The primary objective is to analyse how such an optimism have come about as well as understand the underlying assumptions and ideologies supporting it.

Epistemologically, the paper leans on the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s theories on policy and practice, and on how current social practices can be analysed historically. The analysis identifies ‘historical breaks’ regarding how technologies are positioned throughout the last five decades and reveal battles between orthodox and heterodox stances towards technology in care. As such, we discuss the temporal aspects of representations of technology in policies, as well as problematic aspects of what we see at the current or prevalent doxa: a strong belief in technology in care as time- and cost-saving.
Health professionals’ subjectivation towards end of life and death in home care service
Authors: Perboni Jéssica Siqueira , Oliveira Stefanie Griebeler , Cordeiro Franciele Roberta
Published: September 2022

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the modes of subjectification of health professionals towards end of life and death in a home care service. Methods: this is qualitative research carried out in a home care service at a teaching hospital in southern Brazil, with 12 health professionals. Participant observation and semi-structured interviews were used for data collection, from April to September 2018. Data were analyzed based on Foucault’s concept of power and subjectivation. Results: professionals are sensitized by moral, spiritual and palliative care discourses, as well as experiences that constitute them subjects who modify their ways of life and professional practice based on the relation with death. Final Considerations: the discursive network of palliative care is internalized by professionals, who carry out their practices with behaviors aimed at promoting “a good death”.

Methods: qualitative research, guided by Heidegger’s phenomenology, with 10 trans or transvestitewomen residing and using the Unified Health System in a municipality in Minas Gerais. Fieldwork was carried out by interviews. Results: trans or transvestitewomen reproduce the social patterns constructed and accepted by the female, with the search for hormonization being common, and, when it is difficult to obtain a prescription, they resort to self-medication. Social name use and acceptance by health professionals promote recognition. Trans or transvestitewomen experience prejudice on a daily basis, not only by professionals, but also because of the assumption of diagnoses by other users. Final considerations: transphobia promotes withdrawal from health services, due to fear, shame, knowledge about professionals’ unpreparedness, triggering illness, social exclusion and violence.

RESUMO Objetivo: compreender os sentidos de ser mulher trans ou travesti nos atendimentos realizados por profissionais de saúde do Sistema Único de Saúde. Métodos: pesquisa qualitativa, norteada pela fenomenologia de Heidegger, com 10 mulheres trans ou travestis residentes e usuárias do Sistema Único de Saúde de um município mineiro. Trabalho de campo foi realizado por entrevistas. Resultados: mulheres trans ou travestis reproduzem os padrões sociais construídos e aceitos ao feminino, sendo comum a busca pela hormonização e, havendo dificuldade em obterem a prescrição, recorrem à automedicação. A utilização e a aceitação do nome social pelos profissionais de saúde promovem seu reconhecimento. Mulheres trans ou travestis vivenciam cotidianamente o preconceito, não somente por profissionais, mas também pela suposição de diagnósticos por outros usuários. Considerações finais: a transfobia promove o afastamento dos serviços de saúde, por medo, vergonha, conhecimento sobre o despreparo dos profissionais, desencadeando adoecimento, exclusão social e violência.

ABSTRACT Objective: to identify and map health care aimed at onco-hematological patients in times of Coronavirus 2019. Methods: this is a scoping review, anchored in the Joanna Briggs Institute theoretical framework, registered in the Open Science Framework, with searches carried out in June 2021, through searches in the databases. Results: a final sample consisting of 20 articles was obtained, with emphasis on general care, treatment and stem cell donation. The most reported care was the use of telemedicine, screening for Coronavirus Disease 2019, compliance with prevention practices and, in case of infection, postponing procedures. Conclusions: the study gathered the main evidence on care aimed at treating these patients in times of a pandemic. Such measures help in the clinical management with the objective of proceeding with treatment amidst the injuries caused, thus minimizing possible complications.

ABSTRACT Objective: Brazil is a country with universal health coverage, yet access to surgery among remote rural populations remains understudied. This study assesses surgical care capacity among hospitals providing care for the rural populations in the Amazonas state of Brazil through in-depth facility assessments. Methods: a stratified randomized cross-sectional evaluation of hospitals that self-report providing surgical care in Amazonas was conducted from July 2016 to March 2017. The Surgical Assessment Tool (SAT) developed by the World Health Organization and the Program in Global Surgery and Social Change at Harvard Medical School was administered at remote hospitals, including a retrospective review of medical records and operative logbooks. Results: 18 hospitals were surveyed. Three hospitals (16.6%) had no operating rooms and 12 (66%) had 1-2 operating rooms. 14 hospitals (77.8%) reported monitoring by pulse oximetry was always present and six hospitals (33%) never have a professional anesthesiologist available. Inhaled general anesthesia was available in 12 hospitals (66.7%), but 77.8% did not have any mechanical ventilation device. An average of 257 procedures per 100,000 were performed. 10 hospitals (55.6%) do not have a specific post-anesthesia care unit. For the regions covered by the 18 hospitals, with a population of 497,492 inhabitants, the average surgeon, anesthetist, obstetric workforce density was 6.4. Conclusion: populations living in rural areas in Brazil face significant disparities in access to surgical care, despite the presence of universal health coverage. Development of a state plan for the implementation of surgery is necessary to ensure access to surgical care for rural populations.
Viver um dia por vez: jejum pentecostal e espera cristã em um contexto de insegurança alimentar
Authors: Pereira Réia Sílvia Gonçalves , Mesquita Wania Amélia Belchior
Published: September 2022

Resumo: Neste texto, analisamos a prática do jejum pentecostal de uma moradora em uma favela localizada no Norte do Rio de Janeiro, marcada pela insegurança alimentar. Argumentamos que a privação voluntária de alimentação evocada por pentecostais como intercessão com o divino alude a uma possibilidade de aspiração dos pobres em um contexto no qual o sobrenatural pentecostal conforma as texturas, a temporalidade e a espacialidade. Assim, ao renunciarem à alimentação possível em nome do divino, os crentes buscam a segurança alimentar imediata e futura. Tal postulado não é uma contradição, mas uma possibilidade que remete ao sentido de “espera” pela providência, uma temporalidade experienciada no contexto da favela em questão, colocando em perspectiva uma noção de transcendência cristã.
A face e a bem-aventurança. A pessoa cristã pentecostal nos ritos funerários
Authors: Silva Andreia Vicente da
Published: September 2022

Resumo: Durante o velório, os evangélicos de algumas Igrejas Assembleia de Deus em Magé, Rio de Janeiro, desenvolveram um mecanismo de avaliação da condição do morto por meio da observação da face. Quando um morto tem uma “face feliz”, sua condição de bem-aventurança é confirmada. De maneira diferente, quando tem uma “face triste e apavorada”, seguem debates com base na expressão do rosto visando compreender de que forma a trajetória moral em vida pode explicar aquele traço distintivo estampado no cadáver. Neste artigo, exploro a relação entre corpo e alma no rito de morte dos pentecostais pensando-os como componentes para a construção da subjetividade da pessoa cristã pentecostal ao mesmo tempo em que aponto características do rito de morte pentecostal.
Catolicismo de esquerda na França: uma análise da Federação Réseaux du Parvis
Authors: Sofiati Flávio Munhoz
Published: September 2022

Resumo: Neste artigo faz-se uma análise do catolicismo de esquerda na França por meio do estudo de Réseaux du Parvis, uma federação de associações cristãs, com maioria de tradição católica. É uma organização que desenvolve ações, notadamente intraeclesiais, com base na crítica à instituição católica e centrada na fiscalização da hierarquia eclesial. A investigação visa apresentar esse conjunto de grupos católicos e seu modo de organização enquanto federação, visto que se trata de uma versão contemporânea dos modos de organização da esquerda católica francesa. Entende-se que a análise de Réseaux du Parvis colabora com a constatação de que, no caso francês, a organização paroquial está em crise, considerando que tal associação se articula em rede, à margem das paróquias e dioceses.
Genealogia do sionismo evangélico no Brasil
Authors: Machado Maria das Dores Campos , Mariz Cecília Loreto , Carranza Brenda
Published: September 2022

Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é analisar o desenvolvimento no meio evangélico brasileiro de discursos sionistas cristãos. A genealogia traçada privilegia os livros escritos em defesa do estado de Israel por lideranças nacionais de diferentes denominações e aponta fatores históricos e políticos que favoreceram essas publicações no século XX. Argumenta-se que, embora ganhe uma maior projeção nas eleições de 2018, o sionismo cristão e a teologia dispensacionalista que deram sustentação à maior parte das publicações sobre o tema, já faziam parte da cosmovisão evangélica brasileira tanto de igrejas históricas quanto das pentecostais. Examina-se ainda o impacto das peregrinações à Terra Santa, da teologia do domínio e do movimento Nova Reforma Apostólica no ativismo sionista cristão a partir da virada d século.
