Published: August 2021

The antiquity and nature of coastal resource procurement is central to understanding human evolution and adaptations to complex environments. It has become increasingly apparent in global archaeological studies that the timing, characteristics, and trajectories of coastal resource use are highly variable. Within Africa, discussions of these issues have largely been based on the archaeological record from the south and northeast of the continent, with little evidence from eastern coastal areas leaving significant spatial and temporal gaps in our knowledge. Here, we present data from Panga ya Saidi, a limestone cave complex located 15 km from the modern Kenyan coast, which represents the first long-term sequence of coastal engagement from eastern Africa. Rather than attempting to distinguish between coastal resource use and coastal adaptations, we focus on coastal engagement as a means of characterising human relationships with marine environments and resources from this inland location. We use aquatic mollusc data spanning the past 67,000 years to document shifts in the acquisition, transportation, and discard of these materials, to better understand long-term trends in coastal engagement. Our results show pulses of coastal engagement beginning with low-intensity symbolism, and culminating in the consistent low-level transport of marine and freshwater food resources, emphasising a diverse relationship through time. Panga ya Saidi has the oldest stratified evidence of marine engagement in eastern Africa, and is the only site in Africa which documents coastal resources from the Late Pleistocene through the Holocene, highlighting the potential archaeological importance of peri-coastal sites to debates about marine resource relationships.
Building husky men: Strenuous masculinity in post-depression America
Authors: Heffernan Conor
Published: August 2021

Examining American fitness entrepreneurs from the 1930s, this article examines efforts to reform young, and white, masculine identities through new bodybuilding systems. Centred on Mark Berry, Bob Hoffman and Charles Atlas, three of the decade’s most successful entrepreneurs, the article examines the communities, methods and discourses used to attract customers and create a highly specified form of self-fashioning. In doing so, the article highlights the masculine communities and multiplicities of masculinities operating during this decade for American weight trainers. Importantly all three entrepreneurs focused on a very specific kind of American body, and stemming from this, American masculinity. For Berry, ‘husky’ men came to represent men of physical, moral and mental standing. The ability to withstand pain in exercise, to engage in strenuous activity and gain bodyweight was presented as a metric of one’s success in the world. Likewise, Bob Hoffman focused on the ‘weight lifter’, said to be an ambitious young man capable of succeeding in multiple terrains. Finally, there was Charles Atlas, who made ‘he men’ using his system of dynamic tension. In highlighting the lengths young, white, often affluent, American men went to in order to achieve these identities, the article contributes to the growing interest in American masculinities and the fitness systems they used during times of considerable upheaval.
Carman Barnes’ vision of the esoteric school ‘of living’ for young Americans: The influence of Peter Ouspensky’s esoteric teaching on American cultural landscape in the second part of the twentieth century
Authors: Cannon Anna V.
Published: August 2021

This article seeks to investigate Carman Barnes’ initiative to create a study group for young, artistic, well-to-do women in New York City that was based on Claude Bragdon’s lectures and Peter Ouspensky’s philosophy. Although ultimately focused on spiritual health and the evolution of consciousness, Barnes included a strict fitness routine in her groups. Surveying Barnes’ unpublished archival material, her preparatory notes for the study groups and her correspondence with Bragdon and Ouspensky, the author investigates Barnes’ unique contribution to the New York cultural scene in the 1940s and the promotion of Bragdon’s and Ouspensky’s core belief in the evolution of consciousness and based it on ideas of well-being and the harmonious development of spirit and body. Furthermore, this article aims to locate the effect of Barnes’ effort to bring education in spiritual well-being to the American public.

Background and Aim: Lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a contagious viral disease that has great economic losses among Egyptian breeding flocks. The present study was designed to compare the results of different diagnostic approaches used for the diagnosis of LSD virus (LSDV).

Materials and Methods: A total of 73 skin nodule samples were collected from suspected infected cattle with LSDV from some Egyptian governorates during 2019 and 2020. Trials for virus isolation (VI) and identification on embryonated chicken eggs (ECEs) were conducted. Molecular detection, histopathological, and immunohistochemical examination were also conducted.

Results: The virus was isolated into ECEs, and 58 samples of 73 were positive and gave a characteristic pock lesion on the chorioallantoic membrane. Twenty-two representative nodular skin specimens of the 58 positive samples were selected to be used for molecular, histopathological, and immunohistochemistry (IHC) diagnosis. Conventional polymerase chain reaction succeeded in detecting LSDV DNA in all tested 22 skin nodule samples. Histological examination of skins of different cases revealed various alterations depending on the stage of infection. IHC was used as a confirmatory test for detecting LSDV antigen in the tissues of the skin nodules of infected cattle using specific anti-LSDV antibodies. Lumpy skin viral antigen was detected within the cytoplasm of the epidermal basal cells layer and prickle cell and within the cytoplasm of the hair follicles' epithelial outer and inner roots.

Conclusion: This study confirmed the prevalence of LSDV infection in different Egyptian governorates during 2019 and 2020. In addition, histopathology and IHC could be potential methods to confirm Lumpy skin disease infection besidesVI and molecular detection.
Neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio correlation to procalcitonin and PELOD-2 score in pediatric sepsis
Authors: Yudhantari Desak Gede Arie , Somasetia Dadang Hudaya , Fadlyana Eddy , Setiabudi Djatnika
Published: August 2021

Background Sepsis is a leading cause of children’s mortality worldwide. Procalcitonin (PCT) is a widely used infection marker, but has limitations in terms of cost and availability. The neutrophil-lymphocyte count ratio (NLCR) is easy to perform, low-cost, and widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic marker of various inflammatory processes.

Objective To investigate possible correlations of NLCR to PCT and Pediatric Logistic Organ Dysfunction-2 (PELOD-2) score among pediatric sepsis patients.

Method A retrospective study was conducted by reviewing the Pediatric Sepsis Registry at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital, Bandung, West Java, from January 2019–June 2020. We recorded patients’ characteristics, PELOD-2 score, NLCR, and PCT results. Correlation analysis was conducted using Spearman’s Rank test with significance value of P<0.05.

Results Ninety patients were included in the study. Most patients were male (56.7%), under 2 years of age (57.8%), and had lower respiratory tract infection (67.8%) as the most common source of infection. The NLCR value had significant, positive correlations to PCT (r=0.642; P<0.001) and PELOD-2 score (r=0.233; P=0.027) in pediatric sepsis patients.

Conclusion The NLCR is directly proportional to PCT in pediatric sepsis patients. This result suggents that NLCR may have a potential role as an alternative marker for sepsis in emergency setting.

Weldability and machinability of the dissimilar joints of Ti alloy and stainless steel – A review
Authors: Zhang Yan , Bi YuanBo , Zhou JianPing , Sun DaQian , Li HongMei
Published: August 2021

As two important industrial manufacturing materials, titanium alloys and stainless steel have their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of physical, chemical, and mechanical properties. The field of materials manufacturing has witnessed efforts to develop technical processes that can properly combine these two alloy types, aiming to effectively use their respective advantages. The welding technology for Ti alloy and stainless steel, as a research topic with broad prospects, is comprehensively and deeply analyzed in this review. The current research progress in this field was analyzed from different process perspectives such as fusion welding, brazing, diffusion welding, friction welding, explosive welding and vacuum hot-rolling welding. The results of the review showed that the greatest challenges of fusion welding are low ductility of the material, high residual stress, high cooling rate, and the formation of numerous brittle Ti-Fe intermetallics. By using appropriate intermediate materials between these two materials, the residual stress and brittle intermetallics near the interface of the transition joint can be minimised by solving the thermal expansion mismatch, reducing the bonding temperature and pressure, and suppressing the diffusion of elements such as Ti and Fe.
Relaciones económicas sino-latinoamericanas: El rol de la inversión para el crecimiento económico en China y en América Latina, 1991–2019
Authors: Quiero Aguirre Francisco
Published: August 2021

Este artículo demuestra la existencia de rendimientos constantes de escala para la inversión en China y de rendimientos crecientes de escala para América Latina por Unidad Efectiva de Trabajo entre los años 1991–2019. Dichos rendimientos, en el caso de China, han creado un excedente que puede ser usado de la forma más eficiente en la Inversión Extranjera Directa en América Latina. Por el contrario, la ausencia de inversiones hace que Latinoamérica DEPENDA de esta para poder crecer. Para fundamentar nuestro argumento usamos el modelo de Solow, modelo que asume rendimientos constantes de escala de los factores productivos y que define los niveles de ahorro y desarrollo tecnológicos como exógenos al modelo. El modelo fue aplicado a dos series de tiempo: 1978–2019 para estudiar la economía china y 1991–2019 para el caso de América Latina. Se empleó además una regresión lineal multifactorial para ambos casos entre los años 1991–2019. Los resultados muestran por un lado la importancia de la inversión por Unidad Efectiva de Trabajo en ambos países, y por el otro lo mucho que pueden beneficiarse ambas partes de la exportación del excedente de inversiones desde China hacia América Latina.

Authors: Jin Hua , Gu Su-Ping , Wang Yan , Pan Ke , Chen Zhong , Cao Hai-Long , Wang Dongjin
Published: August 2021

Background: Postoperative pneumonia (PP) is a complication after cardiac surgery. This study aimed to investigate the ability of procalcitonin (PCT) variation to diagnose postoperative pneumonia.
Method: In this prospective observational study, patients with PP and age- and sex-matched cases in our center from October 10, 2020, to January 31, 2021, were included. Patients diagnosed with PP in this study met both clinical and microbiological diagnostic criteria. Blood samples were collected in all patients from the first postoperative day (POD1) to POD5 to measure PCT, white blood cells (WBCs), and C-reactive protein (CRP). PCT variation was calculated by the equation: (PCTdelayed – PCTPOD1)/PCTPOD1. The receiver operating characteristic and area under the curve (AUC) analyses were used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of different biomarkers.
Results: Our study enrolled 272 patients, including 24 patients with PP and 248 age- and sex-matched cases. From POD1 to POD5, the absolute value of PCT showed diagnostic significance for pneumonia (P < .05), WBC showed no differences, and CRP had no diagnostic value until POD4. Furthermore, PCT variation showed the best diagnostic value among those biomarkers (AUC 0.84, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.71, 0.91). Multivariable logistic regression showed that PCT variation on POD2 had significant value to predict PP (odds ratio 5.602, 95% CI 2.178, 14.409, P < .01).
Conclusion: Compared with PCT level, WBC count, and CRP level, PCT variation had the best diagnostic value in predicting PP.
Giant Left Atrial Myxoma Presenting with Cough-Syncope Syndrome
Authors: Ertürk tekin Esra
Published: August 2021

We report the case of a 41-year-old female patient with symptoms of cerebrovascular accident manifesting with loss of consciousness during episodes of cough. Computed multislice chest tomography showed a 7.3- by 4.15-cm mass in the left atrium. A transesophageal echocardiogram showed a giant mass in the left atrium that passed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle, and severe obstructive stenosis was suggested by the mean transmitral gradient. After a comprehensive assessment of the mass, we decided to perform surgery. The pedunculated and fragile mass was attached to the interatrial septum with its handle, and the majority of it prolapsed through the mitral valve to the left ventricle and became stacked among the mitral valve leaflets. The removed mass was analyzed histopathologically and was found to be a myxoma. It is important for the cardiac surgeon to surgically remove an atrial myxoma because of the risks associated with embolization, including sudden death, as myxoma can block the blood supply from the atrium to the ventricle.
Impact of sulfidity on the kraft pulping of eucalyptus
Authors: Gomes Regina Maria , da Silva Júnior Francides Gomes
Published: August 2021

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of white liquor sulfidity on the efficiency of the kraft pulping process. For this study, Eucalyptus spp. chips were used. Laboratory cooking with variable sulfidity levels (0 to 40% at 5% intervals) was conducted under previously optimized conditions, aiming to obtain pulp with a Kappa number of 18 ± 0.9 and residual effective alkali between 9 and 12 gL-1. At the end of each cook, Kappa number, solids generation, specific wood, and alkali consumption were evaluated. The sulfidity variation in white liquor influenced all analyzed parameters, and concerning the specific wood consumption, a distinct behavior was observed for the low sulfidity (S ≤ 19.52%) and high sulfidity regions (S ˃ 19.52%). Based on the obtained results, the production of eucalyptus kraft pulp with white liquor sulfidity of approximately 20% is recommended.

OBJECTIVES

To identify independent predictors of and derive a risk score for invasive herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection.

METHODS

In this 23-center nested case-control study, we matched 149 infants with HSV to 1340 controls; all were ≤60 days old and had cerebrospinal fluid obtained within 24 hours of presentation or had HSV detected. The primary and secondary outcomes were invasive (disseminated or central nervous system) or any HSV infection, respectively.

RESULTS

Of all infants included, 90 (60.4%) had invasive and 59 (39.6%) had skin, eyes, and mouth disease. Predictors independently associated with invasive HSV included younger age (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 9.1 [95% confidence interval (CI): 3.4–24.5] <14 and 6.4 [95% CI: 2.3 to 17.8] 14–28 days, respectively, compared with >28 days), prematurity (aOR: 2.3, 95% CI: 1.1 to 5.1), seizure at home (aOR: 6.1, 95% CI: 2.3 to 16.4), ill appearance (aOR: 4.2, 95% CI: 2.0 to 8.4), abnormal triage temperature (aOR: 2.9, 95% CI: 1.6 to 5.3), vesicular rash (aOR: 54.8, (95% CI: 16.6 to 180.9), thrombocytopenia (aOR: 4.4, 95% CI: 1.6 to 12.4), and cerebrospinal fluid pleocytosis (aOR: 3.5, 95% CI: 1.2 to 10.0). These variables were transformed to derive the HSV risk score (point range 0–17). Infants with invasive HSV had a higher median score (6, interquartile range: 4–8) than those without invasive HSV (3, interquartile range: 1.5–4), with an area under the curve for invasive HSV disease of 0.85 (95% CI: 0.80–0.91). When using a cut-point of ≥3, the HSV risk score had a sensitivity of 95.6% (95% CI: 84.9% to 99.5%), specificity of 40.1% (95% CI: 36.8% to 43.6%), and positive likelihood ratio 1.60 (95% CI: 1.5 to 1.7) and negative likelihood ratio 0.11 (95% CI: 0.03 to 0.43).

CONCLUSIONS

A novel HSV risk score identified infants at extremely low risk for invasive HSV who may not require routine testing or empirical treatment.

Published: August 2021

The jaguar (Panthera onca) has been experiencing a considerable range reduction due to habitat loss and poaching. Habitat suitability models have identified areas likely to maintain populations, but field data are scarce for several of them. Between 2012 and 2017, we investigated the jaguar occurrence in 35 communities of the Chinantla region, southern Mexico, throughout camera trapping in non-systematic surveys. We recorded 124 independent events of 23 jaguars in thirteen communities. Jaguars recorded over the years, couples and pregnant females are highlighted in the Chinantla region as a stronghold to the jaguar.

Authors: Coronel Ruilova Jhon Mauricio , Gagliardo Cadena Enrique Antonio , Vásquez Tandazo Guisseli Cristina , Chusán Cordovilla Mayling Bethsabé , Chung Villavicencio José Ramón
Published: August 2021

Introducción. La hernia pulmonar espontánea (HPE) es una protrusión del pulmón en una abertura anormal a través de la pleura parietal que se presenta a nivel de la pared  torácica, el diafragma o el mediastino. Esta es una entidad infrecuente de la que solo se han reportado algo más de 300 casos a nivel internacional. A continuación, se presenta el primer caso de HPE reportado en Ecuador.
Presentación del caso. Paciente masculino de 59 años sin antecedentes de trauma, ni patologías respiratorias crónicas, quien asistió al servicio de urgencias por cuadro clínico de 3 días de evolución consistente en hemoptisis, dolor en hemitórax derecho de moderada intensidad, edema, hematoma a nivel submamario y defecto herniario de la pared torácica que se evidenciaba durante los movimientos respiratorios y la maniobra de Valsalva. La tomografía simple de tórax mostró líquido libre en cavidad pleural derecha, infiltrado alveolar en parche, protrusión del segmento medial del lóbulo medio y fracturas desplazadas en la 2°, 3°, 4° y 5° costilla del hemitórax derecho. Se diagnosticó neumonía, derrame pleural y HPE con fracturas costales derechas. Por sintomatología del paciente, se decidió manejo quirúrgico con toracotomía derecha con incisión paraesternal. Luego de 3 meses de postoperatorio, los controles de imagen mostraron correcta disposición de material de osteosíntesis. El paciente no presentó molestias y continuó en seguimiento y con manejo médico multidisciplinario.
Conclusiones. La HPE es una patología infrecuente de diagnóstico principalmente clínico que se caracteriza por dolor torácico, presencia del defecto herniario y en algunas ocasiones antecedente de tos. El diagnóstico actualmente es muy preciso; sin embargo, su tratamiento aún se encuentra en discusión, pero sin dudas la intervención quirúrgica es la opción que aporta mejores resultados debido a la rápida mejoría de los síntomas y a que previene recidivas. La tomografía simple de tórax evidencia protrusión del segmento cinco (S5) por presencia de fracturas costocondrales cabalgadas, desde la 2da hasta la 5ta costilla derechas, confirmado el diagnostico de hernia pulmonar espontánea. Debido a la sintomatología del paciente se decide resolución quirúrgica con incisión medial para esternotomía, para estabilización de fracturas con material de osteosíntesis en 2da, 3ra y 4ta costilla, sin complicaciones quirúrgicas intraoperatorias. Al transcurrir 3 meses del postoperatorio, controles de imagen muestran correcta posición de arcos costales y material de osteosíntesis, asintomático, sin defecto de pared torácica.
A patient with dextrocardia and chagas disease: case report and literature review
Authors: Porras-Villamil Julián Felipe , Olivera Mario Javier
Published: August 2021

Introduction: About half a million patients in Colombia are currently infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. However, little is known about patients with Chagas disease and anatomical defects such as dextrocardia.
Case presentation: A 52-year-old male patient with a 4-year history of dyspnea, chest pain, lower limb edema and syncope (requiring hospitalization), arrhythmias and dextrocardia, underwent serological tests for T. cruzi that were positive. A literature review was conducted to find case reports of patients with dextrocardia or situs inversus and Chagas disease in order to determine the proper treatment.
Conclusion: Cases of patients with dextrocardia and Chagas disease are rare. Besides the reported case, only three other cases were found in the literature, which were relatively similar, although they could be considered more severe. According to the findings, the use of etiological treatment is acceptable in patients with coronary anatomic abnormalities and T. cruzi infection. The present case draws attention to the importance of adequately approaching and monitoring this type of patient.
Hernia de Amyand. Reporte de caso y revisión de la literatura actual
Authors: Angamarca-Angamarca Edison Fernando , Arévalo-Wazhima Cesar , Matute-Sánchez Tamara Cristina
Published: August 2021

Introducción. La hernia de Amyand es una condición clínica infrecuente que agrupa a dos patologías quirúrgicas habituales: apendicitis aguda y hernia inguinal; en esta entidad el apéndice vermiforme se encuentra en el interior del saco de una hernia inguinal. Su diagnóstico preoperatorio es difícil, por lo que debe tenerse en cuenta en casos de hernia inguinal antes de que se presente un proceso inflamatorio, el cual puede traer más complicaciones; además, aunque no existe un consenso para el manejo según las clasificaciones actuales, estas sirven de guía para una resolución quirúrgica oportuna. Presentación del caso. Hombre de 57 años procedente de la costa sur de Ecuador, quien consultó al servicio de emergencias de una institución de segundo nivel de atención por un cuadro clínico de 24 horas de evolución que inició con la aparición de una masa dolorosa e irreductible en la región inguinal derecha asociada a hiporexia. El paciente fue diagnosticado con hernia inguinal incarcerada y se le practicó una hernioplastia inguinal derecha en la que se encontró el apéndice y el ciego dentro del saco herniario; durante este procedimiento también se realizó apendicectomía y hernioplastia con técnica de Lichtenstein. El paciente fue dado de alta en buenas condiciones y en controles posteriores, a los 8 y 15 días de la cirugía, no presentó complicaciones. Conclusiones. La hernia de Amyand es una entidad cada vez más frecuente que tiene un difícil diagnóstico preoperatorio debido a su cuadro clínico inespecífico. Ante la sospecha de esta patología se deben realizar estudios de imagenología que ayuden a su visualización y orienten, junto con las clasificaciones actuales de este tipo de hernias, un manejo individualizado y temprano.

Authors: Naranjo-Velasco Virginia , Pastor-Mena Marta , Rubio-Marín Patricia , Anglada-Pintado Juan Carlos
Published: August 2021

Introducción. Las vasculitis son enfermedades graves que suelen tener un debut muy inespecífico y un diagnóstico tardío, lo que implica una alta tasa de fracaso terapéutico. Se presenta un caso de vasculitis que puede contribuir a considerar esta enfermedad como parte del diagnóstico diferencial desde las primeras etapas del proceso de atención para garantizar un abordaje integral y un inicio temprano del tratamiento, lo que reduciría la morbimortalidad asociada a estas entidades y mejoraría la tasa de éxito de los tratamientos.
Presentación del caso. Mujer caucásica de 77 años que como único antecedente presentaba hipertensión arterial de dos años de evolución y quien consultó al servicio de urgencias de una institución de segundo nivel por cuadro clínico de un mes de evolución consistente en astenia, febrícula, hiporexia y pérdida de peso. La paciente fue hospitalizada para completar la historia clínica y dados los hallazgos se sospechó de una posible translocación bacteriana secundaria a una neoplasia intestinal y se inició cobertura antibiótica empírica, pero su condición seguía empeorando. Se realizaron pruebas complementarias que no arrojaron resultados concluyentes; ante la persistencia de la fiebre, la insuficiencia renal y la anemia, se realizó una biopsia de riñón que mostró vaso arterial con necrosis fibrinoide e infiltrados de polimorfonucleares asociados, claros signos de una vasculitis activa del tipo poliangeítis microscópica. Se instauró el tratamiento indicado pero la paciente tuvo una evolución desfavorable y falleció.
Conclusiones. La exposición de este caso inusual contribuye a que los profesionales de la salud consideren el diagnóstico de vasculitis desde el inicio de la atención, aun cuando la sintomatología sugiere otras patologías o incluso cuando se presentan síntomas tan inespecíficos como anemia y pérdida de peso, ya que esto ayudará a establecer un diagnóstico temprano.

Authors: Bruno Fernanda
Published: August 2021

O artigo analisa regimes escópicos e atencionais presentes em dispositivos e práticas de vigilância nas cidades atuais. Pretende-se mostrar como tais regimes envolvem não apenas procedimentos de controle, mas, também, circuitos de prazer, atualizando as relações entre vigilância e espetáculo na cultura contemporânea. Nesta mistura de controle e prazer destaca-se uma lógica e uma estética do flagrante presentes no olhar e na atenção vigilantes sobre a cidade e os indivíduos que nela circulam. Três campos de análise serão privilegiados: a incorporação da vídeo-vigilância aos espaços públicos e semi-públicos, a produção e difusão de imagens amadoras e os sistemas informacionais e cartográficos de visualização do espaço urbano.

Cel. Celem badania było sprawdzenie czy informacja o orientacji seksualnej ma wpływ na preferencje przełożonego płci męskiej. Brano również pod uwagę zmienną kompetencji przełożonego oraz płeć osoby badanej.
Metody. W badaniu wzięło udział N=160 osób w przedziale wiekowym 18-35 lat, w tym 80 kobiet oraz 80 mężczyzn. Badanie wykonano w schemacie eksperymentalnym.  W celu określenia preferencji przełożonego zastosowano autorski kwestionariusz.
            Wyniki. Wyniki badania ujawniły istotny związek między płcią osoby badanej a preferencją przełożonego. Okazało się, że mężczyźni wykazywali preferencję przełożonego orientacji heteroseksualnej, natomiast u kobiet płeć przełożonego nie miała znaczenia.
            Wnioski. Mężczyźni homoseksualni doświadczają dyskryminacji ze względu na swoją orientację seksualną przez innych mężczyzn, nie zwracając uwagi na posiadane przez nich kompetencje. Z kolei kobiety równo traktują mężczyzn bez względu na ich orientację seksualną.

Published: August 2021

Na docência no ensino superior, o burnout constitui uma problemática cada vez mais emergente. No contexto da pandemia da COVID-19, os contextos laborais do ensino superior passaram por modificações significativas, repercutindo nas condições para o trabalho docente e nos processos de ensino-aprendizagem. O objetivo deste relato é descrever uma experiência profissional vivenciada durante uma discussão virtual sobre a síndrome de burnout com estudantes de um curso de graduação em Enfermagem, produzido a partir da disciplina de Saúde Ocupacional. Os discentes apontaram que a formação profissional em saúde ocupacional é determinante na atenção aos processos de promoção de saúde nesse contexto. A figura do docente de nível superior foi destacada como uma das mais afetadas pela pandemia. Estratégias de prevenção e de promoção de saúde foram endereçadas. O olhar amadurecido para todas as ressonâncias no mundo do trabalho e na saúde dos profissionais de educação deve contribuir para que os estudantes de Enfermagem construam posicionamentos críticos para a condução de discussões cada vez mais emergentes no cenário pós-pandemia.

Two species of Eumops Miller, 1906 are reported with voucher specimens from Guatemala: E. auripendulus (Shaw, 1800) and E. ferox (Gundlach, 1861). Eumops underwoodi Goodwin, 1940 has been known only by recordings. We collected dead specimens of E. ferox and E. underwoodi in a wind farm. Additionally, we provide acoustic data, and an allometric scaling hypothesis supports the identification of E. underwoodi, as it reflects the largest body size for sympatric free-tailed bats. We increase the list of bats in Guatemala to 104 species.
Reflections on Using Pesticides – A Global Problem
Authors: Matthews Graham
Published: August 2021

With climate change occurring, some of the problems in using pesticides is examined as many farmers in the less developed countries do not get the support needed so that they avoid the highly hazardous insecticides and can improve the timing and method of application to suit their crops.
The lack of independent research and effective extension services in many countries has resulted in using highly hazardous pesticides as they have had to get advice from commercial agents selling pesticides.
“Glória a todas as lutas inglórias”: negociações, tensões, disputas e resistências relativas ao patrimônio afro-brasileiro
Authors: Cândido Manuelina Maria Duarte , Rosa Mana Marques
Published: August 2021

Resumen Este texto pretende, a partir de categorias como patrimônio (material e imaterial), museus e coleções, refletir sobre o apagamento da memória da cultura afro-brasileira nas instituições museológicas brasileiras e sobre contradições latentes, negociações, tensões e disputas em relação ao patrimônio afro-brasileiro, bem como sobre o modo como este é representado nos museus. Será analisado como os museus se debruçam ou não sobre a questão supracitada, seja pelo silenciamento de acervos e referências patrimoniais de origem africana na maior parte deles, seja pela quase total ausência de museus exclusivamente dedicados à cultura afro no Brasil. Por outro lado, apresenta alguns casos de patrimônios imateriais afro-brasileiros realçados pela aplicação do instrumento de tutela jurídica federal denominado ‘registro de bens culturais de natureza imaterial’ e algumas de suas implicações. Finalmente, como caso emblemático de resistências e apagamentos, este artigo discorrerá sobre o Porto Maravilha, no Rio de Janeiro, um espaço restrito e profícuo em referências veladas ou não a esta face da nossa história.

Published: August 2021

Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin sahip oldukları 21. yüzyıl beceri düzeylerinin çeşitli değişkenler açısından incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nicel araştırma yöntemi kullanılan bu çalışma Türkiye’nin doğusundaki bir devlet üniversitesinde yürütülmüştür. Çalışmanın evrenini meslek yüksekokulunda öğrenim gören 534 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Örneklem ise seçkisiz bir şekilde belirlenen 358 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Kişisel Bilgi Formu” ve Çevik & Şentürk (2019) tarafından geliştirilen “Çok Boyutlu 21. Yüzyıl Becerileri Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Yapılan ön analizler sonucunda verilerin parametrik test varsayımlarını karşılamadığı görülmüş ve bu sebeple nonparametrik tekniklerden (Mann Whitney U ve Kruskal Wallis testi) yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda öğrencilerin sahip oldukları bilgi ve teknoloji okuryazarlığı becerilerinin, eleştirel düşünme ve problem çözme becerileri ile sosyal sorumluluk ve liderlik becerilerinin yüksek düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuca ek olarak kariyer bilincinin çok yüksek düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin girişimcilik ve inovasyon becerilerinin ise orta düzeyde yer aldığı belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanında öğrencilerin sahip oldukları 21. yüzyıl beceri düzeylerinin cinsiyet, bölüm, not ortalaması ve baba eğitim durumu değişkenine göre farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları doğrultusunda çeşitli öneriler geliştirilmiştir.
