Authors: Cheng Junhan , Peng Chang , Rong Fajuan , Wang Yan , Tan Yafei , Yu Yizhen
Published: January 2024

Background and aims

Mobile phone addiction (MPA) is emerging among adolescents, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of knowledge regarding the correlation between MPA and suicide behaviors and its mechanism. The objective of the current study is exploring the direct effect of MPA on suicide behaviors and the indirect effect through poor sleep quality.

Methods

A total of 18,900 Chinese adolescents aged 12 to 18 were recruited via a multi-stage cluster sampling method.

Results

The prevalence of MPA and poor sleep quality was 26.2 and 23.1%, respectively. During the past year, 24.4% participants were involved in suicide behaviors. Specifically, suicide ideators, suicide planners, and suicide attempters were 10.7, 8.4, and 5.3%, respectively. Particularly, rural females had the highest prevalence of suicide behaviors, MPA, and poor sleep quality. Logistic regression analysis showed that MPA was significantly associated with suicide ideators (OR = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.09–1.37, p < 0.001) and planners (OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.04–1.34, p < 0.05), but not for suicide attempters (p > 0.05). Structural equation modelling demonstrated that MPA had direct effect on suicide behaviors (β = 0.145, 95% CI = 0.127–0.160), and poor sleep quality partially mediated the relationship (the mediating ratio was 46.7%). The mediating ratio of poor sleep quality was the highest in urban males.

Conclusions

MPA has both direct and indirect effects on suicide behaviors. For suicide prevention, limited mobile phone use and improvement sleep quality may be practical for adolescents. Additionally, more efforts of intervention could give priority to rural girls.
Tüdődaganat cranialis áttétének talaján kialakult enormis nagyságú epiduralis tályog
Authors: Oláh Csaba Zsolt , Oláh Benedek , Demeter Béla , Papp Attila
Published: January 2024

Epiduralis abscessus a leggyakrabban otitis media, sinusitis és mastoiditis
következtében alakul ki. Ezekben az esetekben a kórokozók a legtöbbször a vénás
és artériás rendszeren keresztül jutnak az epiduralis térbe, míg nyílt törések
vagy idegsebészeti műtétek során direkt módon is kerülhetnek baktériumok a
koponyacsont és a dura közé. Esetismertetésünk irodalmi ritkaságnak tekinthető,
mivel az enormis nagyságú epiduralis tályog kialakulásában szerepet játszott a
tüdődaganat áttéte miatt kialakult craniumdestrukció, mely megnyitotta a nem
steril sinusokat és a mastoid rendszert az epiduralis tér irányába. A gyors
állapotromlásban szerepet játszott a beteg szegényes együttműködése és krónikus
alkoholizálása. Orv Hetil. 2024; 165(2): 69–73.

Comparative Analysis of Export Determinants of Korea's Major Export Industries and Agri-Food Industries
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Park Hyun-Hee
Published: January 2024

The global economy is slowing down significantly due to the Russia-U.S. war, rising raw material prices, and global monetary tightening, and the localization of global value chains and global supply chains is actively progressing, especially in countries that have been unstable in global supply chains due to global economic uncertainties. Against this backdrop, strengthening the agricultural base through agricultural exports needs to seek ways to strengthen competitiveness to foster agriculture as a new export industry as it can secure stable sources for major foods that are highly dependent on imports, including food resources, and can be a new opportunity to increase exports of agricultural and fishery foods. In this study, the export demand function of each major industrial group in Korea is estimated and compared with the determinants of export demand for agricultural products. As for the analysis target period, the top 10 exporting countries in Korea were set as analysis target countries for annual data from 1995 to 2022. In summary, it can be seen that factors affecting exports differ by industry group, and factors affecting the export of agricultural products are affected by the trade partner's gross domestic product, per capita gross domestic product, relative price index with trading partner, R&D investment, comparative advantage index by trading partner for specific products, and FTA signing or not.
Effects of B2B Digital Marketing Adoption on Global Digital Marketing Capabilities and Performance: Moderating of Brand Positioning
Authors:   Korea Association for International Commerce and Information, Han Sang Seol
Published: January 2024

Digital technology among corporate environments is rapidly changing. In the recent development of digital technology, global B2B companies are also trying to secure the level of digital marketing capabilities introduced by B2C companies. In this context, this study investigates the relationship between the introduction of digital marketing of global B2B companies on digital marketing capabilities and brand performance. Additionally. In global B2B companies, we want to find out whether there are differences in global brand performance depending on the level of brand positioning strategies. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, a survey was conducted for global B2B marketers. The data obtained through the survey were tested in advance for reliability and validity. And we tested the hypothesis. The main results of hypothesis testing are as follows. First, the higher the level of digital marketing introduction, the more positively affected the level of global digital marketing capabilities. And among digital marketing capabilities, digital media convergence capabilities and export support platform construction capabilities positively affected global brand performance. The moderating effect according to the level of brand positioning strategy was partially verified. In other words, some marketing competency levels had a more positive impact on global brand performance in groups with high levels of brand positioning strategies. This is a research result that suggests the importance of brand positioning strategies and management in global B2B companies.

This paper reports from a qualitative study on informal conditions for the implementation credit transfer system in vocation education and training (VET) in Poland based on European Credit System for Vocational Education and Training (ECVET). The study was conducted just before the new law of VET (October 1st 2011) came into force. It introduced: (1)new vocational core curriculum which includes 200 school occupations, in which 252 qualifications are distinguished, (2) learning outcomes approach, (3) the examination requirements based on learning outcomes specified for the qualifications, and other tools supporting credit transfer and accumulation. The main purpose of the paper is to analyse the VET stakeholders knowledge, understanding and opinion on these new solutions and general on credit transfer and accumulation concept which aims at supporting development of lifelong learning. On the very general level respondents support all solutions that could improve learners employability and education opportunities. However part of them do not perform in-depth knowledge and reflections on such concepts as learning outcomes approach. They indicate also a number of drawbacks of the VET reform in Poland that is implemented in a hurry without sufficient support for schools, teachers and learners.
Novel direct synthetic route of 2D Prussian Blue analogue, nanocrystalline CuHCF, as highly effective cathode materials for Zn-ion supercapacitors
Authors: Kaneva Maria V. , Bachina Anastasia K. , Lobinsky Artem A.
Published: January 2024

Prussian blue analogues (PBAs) with 2D morphology of nanocrystals have attracted much attention for aqueous electrolyte-based energy storage devices. In this study, we synthesized a 2D Prussian blue analogue, nanocrystals of copper hexacyanoferrate (CuHCF), via a facile stepwise route involving a modified copper substrate of Cu(OH)2 nanorods that was used for the formation of two-dimensional CuHCF crystals. These materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The cathode based on 2D CuHCF exhibits high specific capacity (240 F/g (63.9 mAh/g) at 0.1 A/g) with excellent cycling stability (98.5% retention after 1000 charge-discharge cycles) in 3 M ZnSO4 electrolyte. The flat two-dimensional morphology of CuHCF provides sufficient ion diffusion channels and the numerous electroactive interfaces for intercalation charge storage.

As políticas norte-americanas e a dívida e comércio da América Latina
Authors: BAER WERNER , COES DONALD V.
Published: January 2024

RESUMO Este artigo enfoca a posição contraditória dos Estados Unidos em suas políticas econômicas para a América Latina. Ao pressionar a região para manter o serviço da dívida, o governo dos EUA deixou os países latino-americanos com pouca escolha a não ser produzir grandes superávits comerciais, pois os fluxos voluntários de capital para a região se esgotaram na década de 1980. A insistência simultânea dos EUA, no entanto, de que os países latino-americanos reduzam seus programas de incentivo às exportações e liberalizem suas importações, torna o serviço da dívida ainda mais difícil e impõe pesados encargos às sociedades latino-americanas.

Published: January 2024

RESUMO Objetivos: verificar os fatores sociais, laborais e de saúde que possam afetar a qualidade de vida no trabalho dos profissionais de enfermagem que atuam no ambiente hospitalar. Método: estudo transversal, realizado em um hospital público de Cuiabá-MT. A amostra contou com 486 trabalhadores de enfermagem, 103 enfermeiros e 383 técnicos e auxiliares de enfermagem. Foram utilizados os questionários: sociodemográfico, profissional e de saúde; e o Total Quality of Work Life - TQWL-42. Procedeu-se à análise estatística descritiva e inferencial. Resultados: na classificação geral de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho, 33%, dos enfermeiros e 29,2%, dos trabalhadores de nível médio se mostraram insatisfeitos. Uma maior Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho esteve associada aos aspectos de disposição física e mental, capacidade para o trabalho, assistência de serviços de saúde/assistência social, tempo de repouso e os aspectos de liberdade de expressão, relações interpessoais, autonomia e tempo de lazer. As menores médias estiveram relacionadas aos profissionais da enfermagem que cumprem jornada semanal de trabalho de 40 horas. Conclusão: os resultados revelaram que diversos fatores estão vinculados a uma percepção reduzida da Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho dos profissionais da enfermagem. Entre esses fatores, destacam-se a natureza das responsabilidades ocupacionais, a carga horaria semanal de trabalho e a remuneração recebida. Estes elementos foram identificados como influências significativas na Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho desses profissionais.
Online peer conferences: a window of opportunities for feedback on writing
Authors: Xhafaj Donesca Cristina Puntel , Zaccaron Rafael
Published: January 2024

Abstract The pandemic has had quite an impact on the way we teach and learn. During that time, Brazilian universities implemented remote learning for more than 15 months. While the initial move was a reaction to an emergency and saw the transposition of many classes to the virtual mode, the following months saw the flourishing of initiatives that enhanced learning by streamlining the use of digital technology. In this context, this descriptive qualitative study employs an exploratory multiple case approach to investigate the affordances in the digital context tertiary students use to facilitate engagement with computer-mediated peer feedback during a course of academic literacies in English at a university in Brazil. Data come from individual semi-structured interviews, online peer-to-peer feedback meeting recordings, and retrospective individual interviews with three pairs of students. The participants are tertiary learners who had two online meetings, using Google Meet, to discuss their peer feedback on two texts they wrote for the course over one semester. Results indicate that online peer conferences offer a multimodal communication channel where different semiotic aspects play a role in mediating written input. In addition, WhatsApp was extensively used for informal peer feedback. We conclude with pedagogical implications and suggest actions so that learners can harness the full potential offered by these tools.
Media as a critical pedagogy scenario to promote reexistence literacies with pre-service English teachers
Authors: Ángel Edison Ferney Castrillón , Rodrigues Beatriz Gama
Published: January 2024

Abstract This study aims to reveal how media, as a critical pedagogy scenario ( Apple, 1990; McLaren; Kincheloe, 2007), can promote reexistence literacies, through the development of resistance narratives ( Kleiman; Sito, 2016; Silva-Souza, Ana Lúcia, 2009). It is a Qualitative Online Research (QOR) ( Denzin; Lincoln, 2005) focused on the sociocritical paradigm ( Freire, 1970) and Young Participatory Action Research ( Mirra; Garcia; Morrell, 2015). We conducted this study through an online media course composed of 18 sessions, with 18 preservice English teachers from Universidade Federal do Piauí (located in the northeast of Brazil) and Universidad Católica Luis Amigó (located in Medellín, Colombia). The research evidences that: a) the majority of the pre-service English teachers reveal some lack of awareness concerning the critical use and consumption of information in communication means; b) the development of reexistence literacies occurs when the individuals are conscious and empower themselves in their scenarios to fight for a world with more justice and equity; c) Reexistence may occur when critical pedagogical practices of resistance are employed. In conclusion, we highlight the importance of using the media to question power structures, promote critical education for equity, and generate scenarios for the active participation of teachers and students to promote the development of reexistence literacies through resistance narratives.

This study aimed to characterize, through a literature review, empirical studies carried out by Brazilian authors published in journals that directly investigate the social skills of people with disabilities. A search was carried out in the SciELO, PEPSIC, LILACS, Index Psi, BDENF and Periodicals CAPES databases with the descriptors social skills and social competence, without restriction regarding the period of publication. It was found 43 articles were characterized in terms of bibliographic and methodological aspects. The results indicate a high volume of research with a descriptive design, a higher frequency of participants with intellectual disabilities, a predominance of inventories as a means of evaluation and a scarcity of instrumental research on validation or development of measures. This review may contribute with information to support further research on social skills with people with disabilities.
INDICATORS OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS IN HIGHER EDUCATION: ANALYSIS IN FUNCTION OF COURSES NATURE
Authors: Farias Rebeca Vinagre , Gouveia Valdiney Veloso , Almeida Leandro da Silva
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT Academic success in Higher Education is a multidimensional construct, influenced by different variables in the student trajectory. Thus, we assessed the academic performance (CRE) of incoming Higher Education students, taking personal/social, adaptive, and learning-related variables, differentiating the analysis according to the nature of the courses. In this way, 715 students participated (age: M = 22.10 years, SD = 6.92), from 26 Higher Education courses at a Federal Institute of Paraíba (Brazil), whose data were collected in a documentary form and using an online questionnaire. The results indicate that the set of variables in the study explain 89% of the CRE of bachelor students, 85% of undergraduate students, and 84% of the performance of technological courses, with the following variables: emphasis on family income, option in choosing the course, extra-class contact with teacher and extracurricular activities, absences and discipline approvals versus completed disciplines. Implications of these results are highlighted for future interventions focusing on academic success and course completion.
Nefropatia por oxalato e suplementação crônica de cúrcuma: relato de caso

Published: January 2024

RESUMO Relatamos o caso de um homem de 69 anos que se apresentou para exame de rotina e descobriu-se incidentalmente que ele tinha insuficiência renal, com histórico inicialmente não revelador e sedimento urinário brando. Ele foi diagnosticado com nefropatia por oxalato no contexto de suplementação crônica de cúrcuma e antibioticoterapia crônica com diarreia associada. Nosso caso fornece diversas sugestões importantes sobre nefropatia por oxalato. Primeiro, o diagnóstico requer elevado índice de suspeita clínica. A suspeita clínica é incomum, a menos que haja evidência óbvia no histórico, como bypass gástrico em Y de Roux ou envenenamento por etilenoglicol. O diagnóstico pode ser confirmado por achados histopatológicos e corroborado por níveis séricos de oxalato e excreção urinária de 24 horas. Segundo, o diagnóstico pode passar despercebido pelo patologista devido às características dos cristais, a menos que o patologista renal estabeleça como regra examinar rotineiramente todas as seções coradas com H&E sob luz polarizada. Isso deve ser feito com H&E, pois, outras colorações dissolvem os cristais. Em terceiro lugar, um cristal de oxalato em biópsia por agulha de rotina é considerado patológico, contribuindo potencialmente para LRA ou para DRC de maneira significativa. Em quarto lugar, a oxalose secundária pode ser amplamente mitigada ou prevenida em muitos casos, especialmente casos iatrogênicos. Isso pode ser feito pelo cirurgião ou pelo gastroenterologista, fornecendo instruções adequadas aos pacientes sobre uma dieta restrita em oxalato ou outras medidas dietéticas específicas. Por fim, esse caso destaca o sucesso que resulta da cooperação e comunicação entre o patologista e o médico assistente.

Authors: Sberse Ricardo Tieppo , Zapparoli Laura Buzin , Brodt Guilherme Auler
Published: January 2024

Resumo Introdução No contexto do treinamento resistido, que engloba tanto o fortalecimento quanto a reabilitação, a incorporação de exercícios de alcance global demanda uma intensa ativação dos grupos musculares do tronco, os quais desempenham um papel primordial na estabilização corporal. O agachamento, notório por sua complexidade e eficácia na ativação dos estabilizadores durante a execução, suscita uma questão central: se o agachamento recruta de forma mais acentuada a musculatura do tronco comparativamente a exercícios localizados, tais como flexões e extensões do tronco. Objetivo Identificar o grau de ativação dos músculos do tronco durante o agachamento e confrontá-lo com exercícios localizados para a musculatura do tronco: lombar e abdominal. Métodos Através da aplicação da eletromiografia de superfície, avaliou-se a ativação dos músculos iliocostal, multífido, oblíquo interno, oblíquo externo e reto abdominal. A amostra englobou 16 voluntários de ambos os gêneros, fisicamente ativos. Empregou-se um teste t de medidas repetidas (α < 0,05) como método de análise. Resultados Os músculos iliocostal, multífido e oblíquo interno manifestaram níveis semelhantes de ativação tanto no agachamento quanto em seus respectivos exercícios isolados, enquanto os músculos reto abdominal e oblíquo externo apresentaram maior atividade durante a flexão do tronco. Conclusão É possível inferir que o agachamento se configura como um exercício eficaz para o treinamento do iliocostal, multífido e oblíquo interno, enquanto os exercícios localizados se revelam mais indicados para o fortalecimento do oblíquo externo e dos músculos reto abdominais. Tais conclusões podem contribuir para a otimização do planejamento de sessões de exercícios, mediante a substituição de exercícios isolados de tronco pelo agachamento.
ACTORS INFLUENCE IN THE DEFINITION OF INSTITUTIONAL LOGICS: AN EXAMINATION OF THE PRIVATE HEALTH PLANS’ EXPENSES
Authors: Graça Lia Da , Ryngelblum Arnaldo L.
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT The definition of which expenses can be incurred in the private health field is an endeavor that involves a dispute between multiple logics. Private health operators in Brazil complain that medical expenses have increased during the last decade in Brazil, as do beneficiaries, who bear the fee readjustments that ensue. The study analyzed how the actors in the private health field influence the configuration of health care expenditures and the elements that interfere, identifying a model of institutional logic that best expresses these definitions in the field. The research is explanatory using archival data and interviews with executives of the organizations in the field. The results showed that the logics compete in the field with a discourse in which each actor understands that the others are responsible for the increase in expenses, and are against data disclosure and transparency to safeguard market competition. This case shows a coalition that is able to exercise its power to manipulate the readjustment of fees, because other actors will rather avoid confrontation in an alternative that does not solve the problem about the sector’s expenses, even with the acknowledgment that it is becoming unsustainable.
A SCIENTOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF INSTITUTIONS IN THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS RESEARCH
Authors: Vasconcellos Sílvio Luís de , Monticelli Jefferson Marlon , Santos André Moraes dos , Falaster Christian
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACT This paper explores the co-evolution of international business studies and institutions, employing a scientometric approach and bibliometric review on the application of institutional concepts in international business studies, outlining a research agenda. We compiled a database of 3,520 articles and conducted a scientometric analysis to examine the evolution of the term “institutions” in international business in ABS-ranked journals. Our findings show that (1) over the past two decades, there has been a shift in the use of the term institutions from a political and economic connotation to a sociological perspective to explain how firms adopt strategies, make decisions, and address intra-national problems during the internationalization process; (2) traditional approaches were found to be insufficient in explaining context-dependent events that affect international business; and (3) China has emerged as a critical player in international business studies, which has helped to redirect the focus of institutions from political and economic aspects to the sociological context. Finally, we propose an agenda for future research, highlighting potential pitfalls and remedies.
Gender inequalities among caregivers of dependent older adults

Published: January 2024

Abstract This research aimed to understand the experiences and meanings that women attributed to becoming caregivers of dependent older adults, considering the analysis of gender socialization. Qualitative study with 53 family caregivers, carried out from June to September 2019, in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Araranguá, Manaus, Fortaleza, and Teresina. The analysis of the information was guided by the theoretical-methodological framework of hermeneutics-dialectics. The findings were organized into four categories: the caregiver role as something “natural” for women; men absent from the act of caring and maintenance of masculinity; the marital responsibility of wives and gender identity for care; and the economy and cisheteropatriarchy as determinants to undertake care. Women exercise care due to gender socialization. This fact is reinforced by the circumstances of being single, living with the older adults, male absence from sharing care, marital responsibility, and pressure to withdraw from the job market. In conclusion, the family-centered care model is sustained by women, due to the social dynamics built in a capitalist, cisheteropatriarchal-centered society. This indicates the need for society to intervene, reflect, and propose actions for balanced care between men and women.

Resumo Esta pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender as experiências e os sentidos atribuídos pelas mulheres para se tornarem cuidadoras de idosos dependentes, à luz da análise da socialização de gênero. Estudo qualitativo com 53 cuidadoras familiares, realizado de junho a setembro de 2019, nas cidades de Belo Horizonte, Rio de Janeiro, Porto Alegre, Araranguá, Manaus, Fortaleza e Teresina. A análise das informações guiou-se pelo referencial teórico-metodológico da hermenêutica-dialética. Os achados foram organizados em quatro categorias: a função cuidadora como algo “natural” da mulher; homens ausentes no ato de cuidar e a manutenção da masculinidade; a responsabilidade marital de esposas e a identidade de gênero para o cuidar; a economia e o cisheteropatriarcado como norteadores para assumir o cuidado. As mulheres exercem o cuidado em decorrência da socialização de gênero. Esse fato é potencializado pelas circunstâncias de estarem solteiras, residirem com a pessoa idosa, ausência masculina na partilha do cuidado, responsabilidade marital e pressão para se retirarem do mercado de trabalho. Em conclusão, o modelo de cuidado centrado na família é sustentado pelas mulheres devido as dinâmicas sociais construídas em uma sociedade capitalista e centrada no cisheteropatriarcado. Isto sinaliza para a necessidade de a sociedade intervir, refletir e propor ações para um cuidado equilibrado entre homens e mulheres.
O consumo de drogas por homens homossexuais em uma casa noturna do Rio de Janeiro, RJ
Authors: Garcia Rafael , Silva Alan
Published: January 2024

Resumo À luz das práticas de lazer, objetivamos analisar os sentidos do consumo de drogas por homens homossexuais em uma casa noturna da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, RJ. Realizamos o processo de observação participante em 36 episódios de festas eletrônicas em uma boate, entre janeiro de 2018 e setembro de 2019. Detectamos que os usos de substâncias estabelecem um sentimento de pertencimento social entre os sujeitos, funcionando como rede de apoio coesa e cerimonial. Concluímos que, para os interlocutores, as drogas assumem diferentes sentidos para um “bem-viver” coletivo, em que a droga simboliza a união e o apoio socioemocional que conecta os homossexuais consumidores em um espaço plural às diversidades, a princípio sem julgamentos morais. O consumo das drogas em cada festa fortaleceu a coesão grupal, além de refletir sentimentos de fraternidade, companheirismo e irmandade, edificando e retroalimentando uma espécie de “grupo terapêutico” atrelado a essa vivência do lazer, uma prática acionada para “suportar e sobreviver” às demandas sociais, por vezes preconceituosas e discriminatórias.

Abstract This study explores the senses and meanings attributed to dental work in the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) focusing on dentist-patient relations. A qualitative research was conducted with 20 dentists working in a medium-sized municipality in São Paulo, divided into three focus groups and asked the guiding question “What sense or meaning do you attribute to your work here in the city?” Data were audio-recorded, fully transcribed, and analyzed using thematic content analysis. Floating reading, categorization, and peer discussion of the findings were performed for the final validation, resulting in two categories: 1) Strangeness to patients’ needs and the subsequent medicalization of life, and 2) Power and consumption as meanings of practice. In this context, the dental practices showed the differences between patients’ needs and those considered relevant by dentists. It also showed the power imbalance between patients and professionals as a hindrance to patients’ autonomy. Such meanings seem to cause suffering to these professionals. In conclusion, reflections on health work are paramount to avoid suffering and understand that the practice of these dentists bears many senses and meanings.

Resumo A existência de uma cadeia de suprimentos local fortalecida é condição essencial para o acesso universal à saúde. Esse artigo permite avançar para uma agenda de políticas públicas para envolver todo o sistema produtivo da saúde, incluindo componentes estratégicos da cadeia produtiva para além dos insumos farmacêuticos ativos (IFA), sem os quais, o acesso universal e a soberania em saúde se tornam inviáveis, vulnerabilizando o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) brasileiro. Com essa perspectiva, foi realizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica qualitativa, com observação de campo entre informantes-chave da cadeia de suprimentos da produção de medicamentos do principal Laboratório Farmacêutico Oficial do país. O resultado mostrou que, assim como os insumos farmacêuticos ativos, existem outros itens estratégicos para a saúde na cadeia de suprimentos que se configuram em gargalos tecnológicos. Com isso, espera-se ter contribuído para a ampliação do debate sobre as vulnerabilidades em saúde, relacionando a estrutura produtiva e econômica ao acesso universal, contribuindo, em âmbito nacional e internacional, no estabelecimento de um elo teórico entre a economia, a produção local e os direitos sociais.
“Ainda bem que não foi na barriga!”: revisitando uma cena etnográfica de violência contra a mulher
Authors: Franch Mónica
Published: January 2024

Resumo Neste artigo, retomo uma cena de violência contra a mulher que vivenciei no ano de 2003 no curso de uma pesquisa etnográfica sobre relações de gênero no Programa Saúde da Família em Recife (PE), para refletir sobre os dilemas éticos da pesquisa antropológica e, especificamente, sobre as dimensões afetivas e emocionais do fazer etnográfico em campos sensíveis. Para isso, reproduzo os trechos do diário de campo que compõem a cena de violência e faço uma análise pormenorizada dos eventos que se sucederam à agressão, pela chave de duas emoções: “medo dos homens” e “impotência”, que ajudam a compreender as reações da equipe de saúde e da própria antropóloga. O reencontro da cena em questão, 20 anos depois, no contexto da apresentação de uma pesquisa contemporânea sobre violência contra a mulher, me permite problematizar mudanças e permanências dos modos de fazer etnografias em saúde em campos sensíveis.

ABSTRACT Objective To analyze epidemiological characteristics, temporal trends and spatial distribution of leprosy cases and indicators in the state of Piauí, 2007-2021. Methods This was an ecological time-series study using data from the Notifiable Health Conditions Information System, describing the spatial distribution and the temporal trend of leprosy using Prais-Winsten regression. Results A total of 17,075 new cases of leprosy were reported. There was a falling trend in the overall detection rate [annual percentage change (APC) = -6.3; 95%CI -8.1;-4.5)], detection in children under 15 years of age (APC = -8,6; 95%CI -12,7;-4,3) and detection of cases with grade 2 physical disability (APC = -4,4; 95%CI -7,0;-1,8). There was a rising trend in the proportion of multibacillary cases. Spatial distribution of the average detection rate identified hyperendemic areas in the Carnaubais, Entre Rios, Vale dos Rios Piauí e Itaueiras regions. Conclusion High leprosy detection rates were found, despite the falling trend of indicators, except the proportion of multibacillary cases.

Objetivo: caracterizar la frecuencia y variabilidad de la morfología dental de ocho grupos étnicos del surocci-dente colombiano. Método: estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal, que caracterizó la frecuencia y variabilidad de morfología dental en ocho grupos étnicos del suroccidente colombiano, a través de la prevalencia, dismorfismo sexual, simetría bilateral y distancia biológica de ocho rasgos morfológicos dentales coronales (forma de pala de los incisivos, cúspide de Carabelli, reducción del hipocono, protostílido, pliegue acodado, patrón cuspídeo, cúspide 6 y cúspide 7).Resultados: se observaron altas frecuencias de forma de pala de los incisivos en indígenas de Jambaló, de Morales y de Silvia y en afrodescendientes de Cali; del pliegue acodado en indígenas de Jambaló y afrodes-cendientes de Villarica; del patrón cuspídeo en indígenas de Jambaló y de Silvia y afrodescendientes de Cali; y de cúspide 7 en indígenas de Jambaló. La cúspide de Carabelli y la cúspide 6 presentaron frecuencias medias y bajas en los ochos grupos étnicos. La muestra observada no presentó dimorfismo sexual en ninguno de los rasgos morfológicos y hubo simetría bilateral en su expresión. Se encontraron diferencias significativas en la expresión de los rasgos morfológicos excepto en el protostílido. Conclusión:la expresión dicotómica presencia/ausencia de los ochos rasgos morfológicos dentales coronales estudiados evidencian que los ocho grupos étnicos del suroccidente colombiano se conglomeran respecto a su afinidad biológica con poblaciones con los que comparten la influencia de los complejos dentales poblacio-nales mongoloide, caucasoides y negroide.

El aprendizaje de la programación presenta múltiples retos, uno de ellos es el dominio de lenguajes de programación de alto nivel. Entre los diferentes enfoques para solventar este problema nos fijamos en el uso del pseudocódigo como paso previo a los lenguajes de alto nivel. La motivación de este trabajo es investigar en qué medida comprenden los estudiantes, sin nociones de programación, un determinado pseudocódigo. Se comparan tres tipos distintos: pseudocódigo en inglés, pseudocódigo estándar en español (mayoritariamente usado) y un pseudocódigo natural, usando el español y diseñado en función de las preferencias de los estudiantes (pseudocódigo natural). En este estudio preliminar han participado 58 estudiantes y se ha medido su capacidad de comprensión de algoritmos sencillos con construcciones básicas de programación. Los resultados reflejan una ligera ventaja en cuanto a comprensión, aunque no significativa, del pseudocódigo natural, seguido del estándar y terminando con el inglés.

Os Métodos Ágeis foram originalmente concebidos para equipes pequenas e co-localizadas, o que apresenta um desafio quando aplicados em contextos de desenvolvimento distribuído e em larga escala. Nesses cenários, equipes enormes colaboram em um programa de desenvolvimento compartilhado, lidando com tecnologias complexas e uma variedade de partes interessadas. Projetos em larga escala frequentemente se estendem geograficamente, tornando crucial a adaptação dos papéis das práticas ágeis para esses ambientes. Este trabalho visa compreender a adoção de papéis ágeis nesses contextos, investigando o escalonamento na implementação distribuída. Além disso, buscamos avaliar a percepção dos participantes quanto à utilidade dessas adaptações nos projetos.
Effect of severe plastic deformation on the structure and properties of the Zn–1%Li– 2%Mg alloy

Through the optimization of processing parameters, including pressure, temperature, and deformation degree, a high pressure torsion (HPT) regime was identified. This regime allows for the creation of a unique microstructure in the biodegradable Zn–1%Li–2%Mg alloy, which exhibits exceptional physical and mechanical properties. Following 10 revolutions of HPT treatment (resulting in an accumulated deformation degree, γ = 571) at the temperature of 150 °C and an applied pressure of 6 GPa, the Zn–1%Li–2%Mg alloy displayed notable mechanical characteristics, including a high yield strength (~385 MPa), ultimate tensile strength (~490 MPa), and ductility (44 %) during tensile tests. To elucidate the underlying reasons for these remarkable mechanical properties, an examination of the alloy’s microstructure was conducted employing electron microscopy and X-ray phase analysis (XPA). The study revealed the formation of a distinct microstructure characterized by alternating bands of the α-phase Zn, a mixture of Zn and ~LiZn3 phases, as well as the α-phase Zn containing Mg2Zn11 particles, as a consequence of HPT treatment. Additionally, it was observed that HPT treatment induced a dynamic strain aging process, leading to the precipitation of Zn particles in the LiZn3 phase and the precipitation of Mg2Zn11 and β-LiZn4 particles in the Zn phase. These precipitated particles exhibited a nearly spherical shape. The application of the XPA method helped to confirm that the Zn phase becomes the predominant phase during HPT treatment, and microscopy data showed the formation of an ultra-fine grained (UFG) structure within this phase. A comprehensive analysis of the hardening mechanisms, based on the newly acquired microstructural insights, revealed that enhanced strength and ductility of the Zn–1%Li–2%Mg UFG alloy can be attributed primarily to the effects of dispersion, grain boundary, and heterodeformation-induced hardening, including dislocation strengthening.

This article presents the results of a study focused on the formation of structural characteristics and properties of welded joints in the EP718 alloy with a 13 mm thickness (accounting for a 3 mm technological substrate). The study explores variations in electron beam welding parameters, such as beam current and the speed of its movement across the specimen’s surface, to determine the optimal welding mode for this alloy. This alloy is crucial in the production of high-pressure stators for aircraft engines, as the component operates under low-cycle loads at high stress levels, making its performance critical. Specimens that were welded with a beam speed (ν) of 0.0042 m/s and a beam current (i) of 85 mA exhibited a minimum tensile strength of 1160 MPa. On the other hand, specimens welded with ν = 0.006 m/s and i = 65 mA demonstrated a maximum tensile strength of 1270 MPa. However, it’s noteworthy that specimens welded at 0.006 m/s with beam currents of 120 mA and 75 mA experienced fracture along the weld, while specimens welded at 0.006 m/s with a beam current of 65 mA and at 0.0042 m/s with a beam current of 85 mA exhibited fracture in the heat-affected zone at a distance of 0.5–3.0 mm from the weld. Examination of the structure of specimens welded at ν = 0.006 and 0.0042 m/s and i = 120 mA, 75 mA, and 85 mA revealed expanded grain boundaries in the heat-affected zone. Consequently, the optimal welding mode was identified as having a beam speed of 0.006 m/s and a beam current of 65 mA. In this mode, no thickened grain boundaries were detected, and a maximum tensile strength of 1270 MPa was achieved.
