Authors: Kobiałka Małgorzata , Jackowska Teresa , Wrotek August
Published: August 2023

Background: RSV often leads to hospitalization, and accurate knowledge of risk factors is crucial. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed laboratory-confirmed RSV hospitalizations regarding pregnancy factors, birth status, cigarette smoke exposure, nutrition, social conditions, clinical presentation, and severe disease defined as a need for passive oxygen therapy (pO2Tx), the presence of pneumonia, respiratory failure, intensive care unit (ICU) transfer, and prolonged hospitalization. Results: A univariate analysis included 594 children (median age 4 months) and revealed a pO2Tx relationship with age ≤ 3 months (OR = 1.56), prematurity (OR = 1.71), being born during RSV season (OR = 1.72), smoke exposure during pregnancy (both parents (OR = 2.41, father (OR = 1.8)), dyspnea (OR = 5.09), and presence of apnea (OR = 5.81). Pneumonia was associated with maternal smoke exposure (OR = 5.01), fever (OR = 3.92), dyspnea (OR = 1.62), history of aspiration (OR = 4.63), and inversely with age ≤ 3 months (OR = 0.45). Respiratory failure was associated with prematurity (OR = 3.13) and apnea (OR = 18.78), while the lower odds were associated with older age (OR = 0.57 per month) and presence of fever (OR = 0.11). ICU transfer was associated with apnea (OR = 17.18), but an inverse association was observed with age (OR = 0.54) and fever (OR = 0.11). A prolonged hospital stay was associated with prematurity (OR = 1.76), low birth weight (OR = 2.89), aspiration (OR = 4.93), and presence of fever (OR = 1.51). Conclusions: Age (up to 3 months), prematurity, and presence of apnea are risk factors for a severe RSV course.

The market for nanoparticles has grown significantly over the past few decades due to a number of unique qualities, including antibacterial capabilities. It is still unclear how nanoparticle toxicity works. In order to ascertain the toxicity of synthetic cobalt iron oxide (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles (CIONPs) in rabbits, this study was carried out. Sixteen rabbits in total were purchased from the neighborhood market and divided into two groups (A and B), each of which contained eight rabbits. The CIONPs were synthesized by the co-precipitation method. Crystallinity and phase identification were confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The average size of the nanoparticles (13.2 nm) was calculated by Scherrer formula (Dhkl = 0.9 λ/β cos θ) and confirmed by TEM images. The saturation magnetization, 50.1 emug−1, was measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). CIONPs were investigated as contrast agents (CA) for magnetic resonance images (MRI). The relaxivity (r = 1/T) of the MRI was also investigated at a field strength of 0.35 T (Tesla), and the ratio r2/r1 for the CIONPs contrast agent was 6.63. The CIONPs were administrated intravenously into the rabbits through the ear vein. Blood was collected at days 5 and 10 post-exposure for hematological and serum biochemistry analyses. The intensities of the signal experienced by CA with CIONPs were 1427 for the liver and 1702 for the spleen. The treated group showed significantly lower hematological parameters, but significantly higher total white blood cell counts and neutrophils. The results of the serum biochemistry analyses showed significantly higher and lower quantities of different serum biochemical parameters in the treated rabbits at day 10 of the trial. At the microscopic level, different histological ailments were observed in the visceral organs of treated rabbits, including the liver, kidneys, spleen, heart, and brain. In conclusion, the results revealed that cobalt iron oxide (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles induced toxicity via alterations in multiple tissues of rabbits.

Published: August 2023

Skeletonema potamos is a freshwater diatom that has been widely distributed in North America, Europe, and Australia since the 1980s. However, there have been few previous reports of S. potamos in China. Only recently has S. potamos been frequently found in our extensive ecological surveys in China, and it has sometimes even been the dominant species. This study clarified the morphology, distribution, and origin of S. potamos, as well as the underlying mechanism contributing to its dominance. We examined the samples collected from the Changjiang River (Yangtze River) Basin during 2016–2022 and determined their geographical distribution. Genetic distance analysis indicated that S. potamos strains in China might have been transported by ships and ballast water from the USA or Japan through the East Sea into the Yangtze River Estuary. Cargo ships possibly contribute to its dispersal. An analysis of the ecological factors affecting the occurrence and distribution of S. potamos in China indicated that many waterbodies provide environments suitable for S. potamos. The suitable environment, small size, and rapid reproduction of S. potamos are the reasons for its dominance in the Yangtze River Basin. We predict that S. potamos is likely to form “blooms” in China in the future.
Eco-Engineering Technologies and Achievements of Projects for Reconstructing Landscape Water from Aquaculture Ponds in Shanghai
Authors: Zhang Guowei , Zhang Qian , Shang Kankan
Published: August 2023

The post-evaluation of ecological redevelopment is a good way of describing its achievements. In this paper, eco-engineering techniques, including hydrodynamic circulation reconstruction, water purification treatment, and aquatic ecosystem restoration, along with plant harvesting management, have been applied to reconstruct landscape water from aquaculture ponds. Both sediments and water quality were sampled and tested for basic physicochemical parameters and heavy metals. The ecological redevelopment of landscape water reconstructed from aquaculture ponds was evaluated using the single and Nemero comprehensive pollution index methods. The results demonstrate that nutrients, including organic matter and organic nitrogen and their ratio to sediments, were confirmed to be in a state of moderate pollution, while the ecological risk of heavy metal pollution was relatively low. Although the concentrations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus were significantly higher than those of other indexes, ammonia nitrogen, total nitrogen and total phosphorus, all presented obvious downward trends over time, and a majority of the water samples exhibited mild-to-moderate pollution levels. In general, this study provides a set of reference values for redeveloping water ecosystems from aquaculture ponds using eco-engineering technologies.

Published: August 2023

Gold mining pollution has long-lasting effects on the environment, particularly through acid mine drainage (AMD) and heavy metal contamination. Monitoring and assessing the impact of this pollution is crucial, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of remediation efforts. In our study, conducted in the gold mining area of Zlatna (GMAZ), western Romania, we utilised on-site measurements of water temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, and dissolved oxygen, along with the quantification of culturable aerobic bacteria and microfungi using ready-to-use media plates. We also examined the taxonomic richness of water invertebrates (TRWI) and the environmental features of the sites. Our study found significant negative impacts on the water biota in mining areas, with microbial abundance proving to be a reliable indicator of AMD pollution. While water invertebrates can also serve as indicators of mining effects, their abundance alone may not always accurately reflect pollution levels at every site. This multiple-factor analysis highlights the influences of water type, geological characteristics, air temperature, and precipitation on the structure of the aquatic biota. We observed a natural attenuation of mining pollution in the GMAZ in the last seven years. This study demonstrates that the quantification of microbiota, along with TRWI and basic physicochemical parameters, can offer a cost-effective alternative to expensive monitoring methods for assessing mining pollution.

Published: August 2023

In the “Blue Bay Remediation Action” project, the oyster reef plays the dual role of ecological restoration and wave suppression, and the study of the effect of oyster reef wave dissipation forms the basis of relevant projects. Taking the Binzhou oyster reef ecological restoration project as its object, this paper studied the wave-dissipating effect of the oyster reef, using the SWAN model. The simulation results showed that after the deployment of oyster reefs in extreme high-water-level conditions, they could produce a wave-dissipation effect, with a wave-dissipation rate between 8% and 21%. Significant wave-dissipation effects can be produced under the designed high-water-level conditions, with a wave-height dissipation rate of 42% to 65%. Among them, the wave-dissipation effect of oyster reefs was more significant for waves coming from the ENE, NE, N, and NNE directions. This study could provide a scientific reference for the design and layout of oyster reefs.
UMA NOTA SOBRE AS RELAÇÕES ENTRE O GERAL E O PARTICULAR NA HISTÓRIA DA ARTE
Authors: De Sá Luiz César
Published: August 2023

O objetivo desta nota é assinalar o problema da rela- ção entre geral e particular na historiografia da arte a partir do contraste entre paradigmas desenvolvidos em escritos de Erwin Panofsky e sua recepção na historiografia da arte e outras disci- plinas das ciências humanas. Busca-se sugerir que a relação pri- vilegiada com o “Renascimento” como época histórica celebrada por Jacob Burckhardt desencadeou uma série de princípios ana- líticos ligados à noção de “intuição”, os quais são explorados aqui a partir de respostas ao desafio lançado pelo conceito de “volição artística” no século XX.
AL MARGEN: LA ICONOLOGÍA COMO MÁQUINA DE GUERRA
Authors: Ulm Hernán , Juliano Bruno
Published: August 2023

El presente artículo intenta una aproximación a la iconología warburguiana desde algunos conceptos fundamentales de los pensamientos de Gilles Deleuze y Jacques Derrida. Para esto toma las nociones de máquina de guerra del primero y de différance del segundo buscando mostrar cómo la iconología del intervalo, propuesta por el pensador alemán, implica una puesta en cuestión de las epistemologías propias de la Historia del Arte y permite pensar una relación con las imágenes como espectros que revelan una temporalidad diferida. En este sentido, se trata de pensar junto con los autores las diferentes dimensiones semiótico materiales inscriptas en el pensamiento de Aby Warburg desde la configuración de su atlas Mnemosyne.

Published: August 2023

Background: Burns constitute one of the most important etiologies of infection and mortality worldwide, with the most significant number of cases in low- and middle-income countries. This is a cross-sectional study on deaths due to burns in southern Iran. Methods: In this study, data on all deaths due to burns in southern Iran between 2004 and 2019 was extracted from the population-based Electronic Death Registry System (EDRS). The Joinpoint Regression method was used to examine the trend of crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, and years of life lost (YLL) rate. In order to measure YLL, the number of deaths and life expectancy for different age and gender groups were used, for which the standard life table was considered. Results: During this study, 2175 deaths due to burns occurred, 50.6% (1106 cases) of which were in men and 38.7% (841 cases) were in the 15-29 age group. The crude and the standardized mortality rate had a decreasing trend during the study years. The total number of YLL was 25260 (0.8 per 1000) in men, 25,785 (0.8 per 1000) in women, and 51,045 (0.8 per 1000) in both genders during the 16 years of the study. Conclusion: Considering the high mortality rate in the 15-29 age group, which consists of the active and productive labor force, necessary actions are needed in order to improve safety equipment and to make the workplace safe.

Published: August 2023

Background: Some recent trials have reported high efficacy for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in relieving medical abortion-related pain. The aim of this study was to determine the beneficial effect of oral NSAIDs (ibuprofen lysine) in reduction of pain and hemorrhage in first-trimester medical abortion. Methods: This randomized triple-blinded clinical trial was performed on 98 pregnant women who were candidate for medical abortion within the first-trimester period (gestational age<12 weeks). The participants were randomly assigned to receive ibuprofen lysine (684 mg orally every 4 hours) or placebo. All patients were initially treated with misoprostol (800 µg every 3 hours). Pain intensity and rate of hemorrhage were assessed every hour up to 15 hours after receiving the first dose of misoprostol by visual analogue scaling (VAS) and pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBAC), respectively. Results: Assessing the mean pain score within 15 hours of receiving misoprostol showed significantly lower pain intensity within the first 10 hours of assessment in the group receiving NSAID in comparison with the control group (P<0.001). The bleeding rate was also significantly lower in the NSAID group at the fifth (P=0.013) and ninth (P=0.040) hour of receiving misoprostol compared to the control group. We found no difference in abortion-related complication rate between the NSAID and placebo groups (8.3% versus 8.0%, P=0.952). Conclusion: The use of NSAIDs (ibuprofen lysine) is a good pharmacological analgesic option for relieving medical abortionrelated pain and hemorrhage.

Published: August 2023

Background: The evaluation of the risk factors associated with the long-term survival rate of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and the effects of discharge medications can significantly help select the most effective strategies for improving treatment. Study Design: A retrospective cohort study. Methods: The participants of this retrospective cohort study were 21,181 patients who suffered from MI and were hospitalized in the cardiac care unit (CCU) of different public, private, and military hospitals in Iran from 20 March 2013 to 20 March 2014. Participants were followed up until February 2020 for any cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. To evaluate survival rate, the differences between groups, and the factors related to MI death, Kaplan-Meier, log-rank test, and Cox proportional-hazards model were used, respectively. Results: One, three, five, and seven-year survival rates of patients were 88%, 81%, 78%, and 74%, respectively. Regarding the interaction effect of prescribed medical drugs, the highest 7-year survival rate of 86% (95% CI: 72%, 93%) was related to people who consumed anticoagulants, aspirin, clopidogrel, beta blockers, angiotensin-converting enzymes (ACEs), and angiotensin II receptor antagonist simultaneously. Considering the effect of other variables, the consumption of anticoagulants was associated with a decrease in survival rate (HR=1.13 CI: 1.06, 1.19). Conclusion: As evidenced by the results of this study, different combinations of prescribed medication drugs had protective effects on long-term mortality compared to the group without any drug. Nonetheless, according to the drugs in each combination therapy, this protective effect ranged from HR=0.27 to HR=0.89. It is recommended that further studies compare the long-term effects of different drug combinations and also consider adherence to treatment in evaluating the effects of these combinations.

Published: August 2023

Background: Age at menarche affects women’s health outcomes and could be a risk factor for some diseases, such as metabolic syndrome (MetS). We assessed the association between age at menarche and MetS components in women aged 35-70 in Hoveyzeh, southwest Iran. Study Design: A case-control study. Methods: This case-control study was conducted on 5830 women aged 35-70 years in the Hoveyzeh cohort study (HCS), a part of the PERSIAN cohort study, from 2016-2018. The case group included women with MetS, while the controls were women without MetS. The MetS is determined based on standard NCEP-ATP III criteria. Data from demographic, socioeconomic, and reproductive history were gathered face-to-face through trained interviews. Moreover, laboratory, anthropometrics, and blood pressure measurements were assayed for participants. Multiple logistic regression was used to estimate the association between age at menarche and MetS, with adjustment for potential confounding variables. Results: The mean age at menarche was 12.60 ± 1.76 years old. Urban and rural women differed in age at menarche (12.58 ± 1.71 and 12.63 ± 1.83 years, respectively). The study revealed a statistically significant relationship between MetS and menarche age. The odds of developing MetS were 14% higher in women with menstrual age ≤ 11 years than in other groups. Conclusion: As evidenced by the results of this study, the odds of having MetS were higher in women whose menarche age was ≤ 11 years. Furthermore, the association between MetS components and age groups at menarche was statistically significant.

Published: August 2023

Background: Asbestos is a natural fiber leading to health risks like chronic lung diseases. The current study aimed to estimate pleural mesothelioma and lung cancer risk for population exposure to asbestos in Tehran, Iran. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: According to the annual report of Air Quality Control Company (AQCC), from 2011-2020, carcinogenic risk and mesothelioma were assessed based on the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) method using the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS). The relative risk (RR) of mortality cancer was calculated based on Camus and colleagues’ model. Moreover, mesothelioma risk was estimated by Bourgault and colleagues’ model. Results: The mean concentration and health risk of asbestos in ambient air generally reduced from 2011 to 2020. The highest mortality risk for lung cancer was 8.4 per 100000 persons in 2011 and reduced to 1.8 in 2017. For mesothelioma, the corresponding values were 8.96 per 100000 persons in 2011 and reduced to 1.92 in 2017. Conclusion: The findings of this study could be helpful to health policymakers in the management of asbestos risk.

Published: August 2023

Background: Home-based exercise (HBE) and patient education (EDU) have been reported as beneficial additions to usual knee osteoarthritis (KOA) rehabilitation. However, previous trials mostly examined the effects of HBE and EDU separately. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effects of a structured combined HBE and EDU program in addition to usual KOA rehabilitation on pain score, functional mobility, and disability level. Study Design: A parallel-group, single-blinded randomized controlled trial. Methods: Eighty adults with KOA were randomly allocated to experimental (n=40) and control (n=40) groups. All participants underwent their usual physiotherapy care weekly for eight weeks. The experimental group received a structured HBE+EDU program to their usual care, while the control group performed home stretching exercises to equate treatment time. The Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) for the disability level, visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain, and timed up-and-go test (TUG) for mobility were measured pre-post intervention. Results: After eight weeks, the experimental group demonstrated significant improvements in the KOOS (all subscales), pain VAS, and TUG scores compared to baseline (P<0.001); meanwhile, only KOOS (activities of daily living and sports subscales) was significant in the control group. Relative to the control, the experimental group presented higher improvements (P<0.001) by 22.2%, 44.1%, and 15.7% for KOOS, pain VAS, and TUG, respectively. Conclusion: Integrating the HBE+EDU program into usual KOA rehabilitation could reduce pain and disability, while it improved functional mobility. The finding of this study suggests a combination of a structured HBE and EDU program to be considered as part of mainstream KOA management.

Published: August 2023

Background: This study was conducted to determine the mortality rate and years of life lost (YLL) due to homicide in Fars province. Study Design: This was a cross-sectional study. Methods: All data related to deaths due to homicide in Fars province were obtained from the Populationbased Electronic Death Registration System. Crude and age-standardized mortality rate, YLL, and YLL rate data were calculated and joinpoint regression was used to examine the trend. Results: During 2004-2019, 2148 deaths due to homicide occurred in Fars province, and (1782 cases (83.0%) were men. The crude mortality rate in men decreased by 44.0% from 2004 to 2019, but a stable trend was observed in women. The total YLL due to homicide during these 16 years was 43230 (1.37 per 1000 people) in men and 8931 (0.29 per 1000 people) in women. According to the joinpoint regression analysis, the 16-year trend of the YLL rate due to premature mortality in men was decreasing, and the annual percent change (APC) was -4.00% (95% confidence interval [CI]: -6.60 to -1.20, P=0.008). However, women demonstrated stable trends in this respect, and APC was -0.50% (95% CI: -3.10 to 2.20, P=0.704). Conclusion: The crude and standardized mortality rates and the number of YLL due to homicide in the study period had a significant decreasing trend in men but a stable trend in women. To control this issue, officials and policymakers should identify the areas of homicide and control its risk factors such as economic and social issues, drug addiction, and the state of violence.

Authors: Mostafa Mohamed A. , Skipina Travis , Anees Muhammad Ali , Soliman Elsayed Z. , Ahmad Muhammad Imtiaz
Published: August 2023

Background: The empirical dietary inflammatory potential (EDIP) score is designed to assess the inflammatory potential of a diet based on the pro- and anti-inflammatory properties of its various components. This study examined the association of EDIP with all-cause mortality in a large, community-based, multiracial sample of the United States population. Study Design: A prospective cohort study. Methods: This analysis included 13155 participants (44.6±18.4 years, 54.21% women, and 40.33% White) without prior history of cardiovascular disease (CVD) from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination (NHANES III) Survey. A 24-hour dietary recall information was used to calculate EDIP. The National Death Index was employed to identify the date and cause of death. Cox proportional hazard analysis was utilized to evaluate the association between the tertiles of EDIP and all-cause mortality over a median follow-up of 26.6 years. Results: In a model adjusted for demographics and CVD risk factors, a higher EDIP tertile, compared with the lowest tertile, was associated with an increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio [HR]=1.10; 95% CI: 1.02, 1.19). A standard-deviation increase in EDIP (0.27 units) was related to a 4% increased risk of mortality (HR=1.04; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.08). This association was stronger in older participants compared to younger ones (HR=1.09; 95% CI: 0.98, 1.21 vs. HR=0.89; 95% CI: 0.80, 1.01), respectively, interaction P=0.030)]. Conclusion: Pro-inflammatory diet is associated with an increased risk of mortality, especially in the older population. Dietary changes that reduce inflammation may have the potential to reduce the risk of poor outcomes.

Authors: Barus Jimmy Fransisco Abadinta , Sudharta Harvey , Suswanti Ika
Published: August 2023

Background: Headaches are common among children and adolescents, with more than half of adolescents reporting headache symptom worldwide. The number of migraine sufferers among adolescents has increased dramatically in the past decade. Headache has negatively influenced children and has been linked with emotional and behavioral problems. Study Design: A cross-sectional study. Methods: This study was conducted using secondary data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) to evaluate the relationship between sociodemographic and psychosocial factors in Indonesian adolescents and headaches. We used data from the fifth wave of IFLS, which was conducted between September 2014 and April 2015. The figures represent roughly 83% of the Indonesian population. We investigated the possible relationship between sociodemographic and psychosocial factors in adolescents with headaches. Results: A total of 3605 participants (1875 females and 1730 males) aged 15 to 19 years with headache symptom were included in the study. Headache was associated with sleep disturbances (OR 1.99; 95% CI: 1.72, 2.30), depression (OR 1.94; 95% CI: 1.65, 2.28), and female gender (OR 1.72; 95% CI: 1.50, 1.98). Other factors contributing to headaches include poor/moderate sleep quality (OR 1.25; 95% CI: 1.08, 1.45) and low income (OR 1.22; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.48). Conclusion: In Indonesian adolescents aged 15 to 19 with headaches, sleep disturbances were the dominant factor associated with headache occurrence. Other factors such as depression, female gender, low socioeconomic status (SES), and poor/moderate sleep quality showed a positive association with headaches but further large population-based studies with more refined variables are needed to elucidate this association.

El Euskera en la Navarra medieval en su contexto románico
Authors: Cierbide Ricardo
Published: August 2023

Los autores greco-romanos son los primeros en señalar la romanización y su consiguiente latinización de núcleos urbanos situados, unos en el Ager o zona meridional y otros en la zona media, abiertos a las influencias procedentes de Tarraco y Caesaraugusta.

Como resultado de ello, debió de producirse el nacimiento de una variante románica, estrechamente emparentada con la variante aragonesa, especialmente en el Centro-Este, donde surgirá el linaje de los Semenones, que daría lugar al reino de Navarra en la persona de Sancho Garcés I (902-925).

Con el correr de los siglos la sociedad medieval navarra se fue haciendo plurilingüe y culturalmente heterogénea, si bien el elemento euskérico siguió siendo el caracterizador de la población rústica, acaso más arcaizante, de buena parte del reino.
Arrani, Arrain, Arrai. En torno al protovasco "Artani" y sus derivaciones lingüísticas
Authors: Linstroch John P.
Published: August 2023

Cuando el autor realizaba un estudio antropológico sobre la vida social de los pescadores de Hondarribia llamó su atención el hecho de que el nombre genérico arrain, arrai, común para pez en lengua vasca que no figuraba en otros vocabularios europeos que se basaban de forma variada a partir del latín, le motivó un estudio lingüístico pequeño. Llega a la conclusión de que procedía del proto-vasco arrani y ello le lleva a interesarse en investigar su origen sobre la presencia de la pesca en el territorio de Euskal Herria desde tiempos pre-históricos. (Sin embargo no sabemos si hay correspondencia directa entre datos arqueológicos y datos lingüísticos). A través de una muestra de palabras por el pescado en otras lenguas europeas, la palabra arrain (o pez en euskera) indica claramente una denominación distinta y un desarrollo autóctono. Lo demás indica un arraigo con un origen indo-europeo.

Segregação Sócio-espacial, Lazer e o Papel do Estado
Authors: Santos Edmilson Santos dos
Published: August 2023

Compreender o lazer em sua dimensão temporal, implica mergulharmos no conjunto de experiências que produzem uma determinada realidade. A partir das pesquisas Mapa do Lazer Juvenil e do Mapa dos Espaços Esportivos, ambos da Grande Mathias, buscamos compreender melhor o contexto espacial que sustenta as experiências de lazer esportivo dos jovens dessa região. Num primeiro momento, procuramos discutir o impacto da segregação sócio-espacial na configuração do espaço da Grande Mathias. A segregação também cumpre uma agenda política e ideológica, principalmente no que diz respeito à fragilização dos laços sociais construídos a partir de experiências culturais, como aquela oportunizada pela prática do esporte. Nesse caso, o Estado pode atuar, através de suas políticas, na ampliação das desvantagens dos grupos segregados no acesso ao lazer esportivo, ampliando ainda mais a vulnerabilidade dos jovens.

Published: August 2023

Em decorrência da densidade demográfica, dentre outros fatores, tem se observado em algumas cidades brasileiras, a carência de locais públicos para vivência do lazer. Assim, objetiva-se avaliar a existência e distribuição geográfica dos parques públicos de lazer de interesse físico, a animação sócio-cultural desenvolvida no seu interior, bem como a população atendida. Os resultados indicam que Campo Grande/MS conta com cinco parques - região periférica (3) e central (2). Em todos os parques pelo menos um tipo de animação é disponibilizada, sendo os adultos e idosos os mais prestigiados. Conclui-se que, embora exista uma descentralização, a região oeste da cidade mostrou-se desprovida de parques públicos de lazer, assim como as oportunidades de animação sociocultural direcionadas às crianças/adolescentes e às pessoas portadoras de deficiência são inferiores quando comparadas aos adultos e idosos.

Published: August 2023

Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir, junto a estudantes de Educação Física, sobre uma proposta pedagógica de atividades circenses para as aulas de Educação Física no Ensino Médio. Para isso, parte-se de revisão de literatura e de "descrição densa", caracterizando uma discussão eminentemente qualitativa. O circo deixou de ser uma atividade unicamente profissional e, atualmente, suas modalidades têm sido praticadas por muitas pessoas como forma de lazer-recreação, com fins educativos e sociais. Esse fato implica em uma discussão acerca da aplicação do circo em cada um desses âmbitos e na formação de profissionais que atendam a essa demanda. Com base nas reflexões desenvolvidas, chega-se à conclusão que a vivência de atividades circenses nas aulas de Educação Física no Ensino Médio poderá enriquecer a experiência prévia dos alunos, contribuir para sua formação humana e ser parte de um projeto de educação para o tempo livre.
Lazer, Experiência Turística, Mediação e Cidadania
Authors: Cheibub Bernardo Lazary
Published: August 2023

Este trabalho teve por objetivo analisar o projeto Turismo Jovem Cidadão (TJC), uma iniciativa do Serviço Social do Comércio (Sesc) do Rio de Janeiro, que intenta proporcionar, a jovens de comunidades de baixa renda do bairro da Tijuca, visitas a pontos turísticos e equipamentos de lazer e cultura da cidade. No decorrer das atividades foram realizadas esquetes e dinâmicas informativas sobre a formação acadêmica e as principais funções dos trabalhadores que integram o TJC. Para a coleta de dados, examinamos criticamente o documento escrito de elaboração da proposta e realizamos entrevistas semi-estruturadas com profissionais e jovens que participaram do TJC, norteadas por quatro categorias de análise: os entendimentos de lazer, de turismo e de mediação; e a contribuição efetiva para os envolvidos. Os resultados demonstraram que os profissionais não possuem uma compreensão teórica aprofundada sobre os conceitos de lazer, turismo, mediação e cidadania. Neste sentido, não surpreende que tenhamos constatado que os jovens tenham identificado como a maior contribuição do projeto a ampliação do horizonte profissional e não exatamente a formação cultural. De qualquer maneira, vale destacar, ainda que com restrições e limites, as mediações adotadas indicam a busca de estratégias pedagógicas construídas coletivamente, convidando os jovens a participarem ativamente das ações do TJC.

Desde a sua criação (2003), o Programa Esporte e Lazer da Cidade vem sendo implantado e desenvolvido com o objetivo de contribuir para a efetivação de uma política púbica e social que atenda às necessidades por esporte recreativo e de lazer da população brasileira. Neste sentido, para além de garantir o financiamento, almeja promover significativas transformações, sintonizadas com identidades e necessidades locais, buscando auxiliar na superação do caráter assistencialista e descontinuado das políticas públicas de esporte e lazer. Frente a esses objetivos, fomenta a municipalização do esporte e do lazer, como meio para a superação do modelo vigente de políticas de governo, visando a seguridade que as políticas de Estado podem vir a garantir. Neste sentido, este artigo aborda importantes temas relacionados a municipalização e apresenta a tentativa particular do PELC de Ivoti – RS.

Published: August 2023

O presente estudo busca analisar o papel dos eventos esportivos promovidos pelas Associações Atléticas Acadêmicas no impulsionamento do turismo de esportes, especificamente o caso da Copa Inter Atléticas (CIA). A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de levantamento bibliográfico e a aplicação de questionários com amostra não probabilística, visando coletar informações sobre as características, percepções e atitudes de jovens universitários. Identificou-se que às Atléticas se tornaram as principais responsáveis pela disseminação de práticas de sociabilidade e da cultura do lazer universitário no Brasil. Ao analisar a CIA, foi possível verificar que o turismo esportivo possui a capacidade de gerar renovados usos sociais dos espaços urbanos e que o turismo de eventos esportivos pode ser utilizado como um instrumento de apoio ao desenvolvimento de uma região, além de influenciar positivamente a imagem de um destino turístico.

O estudo objetivou analisar quais as barreiras às práticas de lazer de professores de Educação Física que atuam no ensino superior no IFCE - Campus Juazeiro do Norte e o nível de satisfação quanto a fruição do lazer. A metodologia da pesquisa caracteriza-se como qualitativa, descritiva e de campo. Foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com 11 professores de Educação Física, no tratamento das informações, adotou-se a análise de conteúdo por Bardin (2016). As barreiras mencionadas trazem à tona questões inerentes a saúde, tempo, ausência de espaços públicos (para prática de lazer) e cansaço decorrente do trabalho, em relação ao nível de satisfação observamos um equilíbrio rigoroso entre o número de professores que julgam o nível de lazer satisfatório/insatisfatório não sendo possível mensurar bem esses resultados, no entanto, há novamente apontamentos que remetem aos aspectos econômico, tempo e trabalho como fatores interventores para os sujeitos que julgam como insatisfatório seu tempo de lazer.

singular Constituição inglesa
Authors: Antonacci Leonardo
Published: August 2023

Este estudo objetiva compor um cenário estruturalmente completo, porém não exaustivo, dos principais institutos do constitucionalismo inglês. Tenta contestar os questionamentos sobre a inexistência de uma Constituição Inglesa e, depois de acolhida sua existência, debater sobre a adequação do direito inglês entre o Parlamento e as Cortes. Para tanto, narra as histórias que compõe a Constituição inglesa, desde os documentos principais como a Magna Carta e o Bill of Rights até a montagem do Parlamentarismo em meio às disputas políticas. Trabalha o pensamento de Albert Venn Dicey, principalmente, para equacionar princípio da soberania do parlamento com o rule of law, e oferecer a este um significado teórico-constitucional. Também, busca ventilar críticas e alterações constitucionais empreendidas na virada do último século que possam ser representativas de mudança nesse sistema constitucional. Como conclusão, utiliza os resultados adquiridos no texto para apontar as diferenças entre o Rule of Law inglês e o Estado de Direito continental.
O que as gerações futuras precisam saber sobre a anistia
Authors: Silva Clarissa Paiva Guimarães e
Published: August 2023

Partindo do estudo sobre a Lei da Anistia, e os Princípios dos Direitos Humanos. O século XX foi um cenário marcado por grandes guerras e conflitos civis. O combate a essas opressões se deu por meio de um ideário democrático amplo que ainda se pode ver ser construídos em todo o ocidente, com repercussões que envolvem as futuras gerações. Em meio a essas construções e repercussões, a entrega em vigor da Lei da Anistia veio para preencher as lacunas do Poder Judiciário em relação aos problemas que eclodiam ao longo dos anos no Brasil, a partir de 1964. As futuras gerações precisam ter ciência dos acontecimentos para não se permitirem ficar presos ao ideário social torturador daquela época e, assim formarem senso crítico de melhores perspectivas para que os retrocessos não voltem a acontecer na sociedade brasileira. A anistia não é apenas ampla, geral e irrestrita dita na campanha organizada por intelectuais, jornalistas, artistas, políticos progressistas, religiosos de vários credos, sindicalistas e estudantes em 1978 para combater a ditadura militar. Hoje a anistia representa uma das vozes aos Direitos Humanos, de forma que toda e qualquer pessoa é livre para viver a sua vida com dignidadee de maneira alguma deve sofrer opressão ou desigualdade. Assim a luta da Anistia é paratodos e por todos, inclusive pelas futuras gerações.
