Visual tracking with multilevel feature, similarity attention, color constraint, and global redetection
Authors: Guiling Song , Jingyi Zhang , Feng Xue , Ru Lu , Qin Yang , Anlong Ming
Published: October 2021

Visual tracking is fundamental in computer vision tasks. The Siamese-based trackers have shown surprising effectiveness in recent years. However, two points have been neglected: firstly, few of them focus on fusing the image level and semantic level features in neural networks, which usually resulting in tracking failure when differentiating the target from other distractors of the same class. Secondly, the robustness of the previous redetection scheme is limited by simply expanding the search region. To address these two issues, we propose a novel multilevel feature-weighted Siamese region proposal network tracker, which employs a feature fusion module to construct discriminative feature embedding and a similarity-based attention module to suppress the distractors in the search region. Furthermore, a color-based constraint module is presented to further suppress the distractors with the same class to the target. Finally, a well-designed global redetection scheme is built to handle long-term tracking tasks. The proposed tracker achieves state-of-art performance on a series of popular benchmarks, including object tracking benchmark 2013 (0.699 in success score), object tracking benchmark 2015 (0.700 in success score), visual object tracking 2017 (0.470 in expected average overlap score), and visual object tracking (0.485 in expected average overlap score).
Choosing a health behaviour theory or model for related research projects: a narrative review
Authors: Beyera Getahun K , O’Brien Jane , Campbell Steven
Published: October 2021

Background

Theories are integral to a research project, providing the logic underlying what, how, and/or why a particular phenomenon happens. Alternatively, models are used to guide a research project by representing theories and visualising the structural framework of causal pathways by showing the different levels of analysis. With the rise in chronic and behaviour-related diseases, health behaviour theories and models have a particular importance in designing appropriate and research led behavioural intervention strategies. However, there is a dearth of papers that explain the role of behavioural theories and models in research projects.

Aims

The aim of this paper is to synthesise existing evidence on the relevance of health behaviour theories and models in research projects.

Methods

This paper reviews health behaviour theories and models commonly underpinning research projects in public health and clinical practices. The electronic databases, such as MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Scopus, as well as the search engines Google and Google Scholar were searched to identify health behaviour theories and models.

Results

Theories and models are essential in a research project. Theories provide the underlying reason for the occurrence of a phenomenon by explaining what the key drivers and outcomes of the target phenomenon are and why, and what underlying processes are responsible for causing that phenomenon. Models on the other hand provide guidance to a research project and assist in visualising the structural framework of causal pathways by showing the different levels of analysis. Health behaviour theories and models in particular offer valuable insights for designing effective and sustainable research projects for improved public health practice.

Conclusions

By employing appropriate health behaviour theory and/or model as a research framework, researchers will be able to identify relevant variables and translate these into clinical and public health practices.
Depression in older adults
Authors: Baker Ruth , Wilson Sarah , Daunt Laura
Published: October 2021

Depression is the most common mental disorder affecting older adults, leading to reduced quality of life, increased health care attendances, and poorer outcomes from physical illnesses. Rates of suicide are proportionally higher in older adults, with those attempting suicide more likely to die than in younger age groups. Although effective treatments are available, depression in older adults is often under recognised and undertreated. Depression management in older adults can be complicated by coexisting physical health conditions and polypharmacy. This article discusses the approach to assessing an older adult with suspected depression and subsequent management.

PURPOSE:

People with cancer are at increased risk for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. ASCO's COVID-19 registry promotes systematic data collection across US oncology practices.

METHODS:

Participating practices enter data on patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection in cancer treatment. In this analysis, we focus on all patients with hematologic or regional or metastatic solid tumor malignancies. Primary outcomes are 30- and 90-day mortality rates and change over time.

RESULTS:

Thirty-eight practices provided data for 453 patients from April to October 2020. Sixty-two percent had regional or metastatic solid tumors. Median age was 64 years. Forty-three percent were current or previous cigarette users. Patients with B-cell malignancies age 61-70 years had twice mortality risk (hazard ratio = 2.1 [95% CI, 1.3 to 3.3]) and those age > 70 years had 4.5 times mortality risk (95% CI, 1.8 to 11.1) compared with patients age ≤ 60 years. Association between survival and age was not significant in patients with metastatic solid tumors ( P = .12). Tobacco users had 30-day mortality estimate of 21% compared with 11% for never users (log-rank P = .005). Patients diagnosed with SARS-CoV-2 before June 2020 had 30-day mortality rate of 20% (95% CI, 14% to 25%) compared with 13% (8% to 18%) for those diagnosed in or after June 2020 ( P = .08). The 90-day mortality rate for pre-June patients was 28% (21% to 34%) compared with 21% (13% to 28%; P = .20).

CONCLUSION:

Older patients with B-cell malignancies were at increased risk for death (unlike older patients with metastatic solid tumors), as were all patients with cancer who smoke tobacco. Diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 later in 2020 was associated with more favorable 30- and 90-day mortality, likely related to more asymptomatic cases and improved clinical management.
Ο ρόλος της κληρονομικής θρομβοφιλίας στους ασθενείς με χρόνια νεφρική νόσο – 5 υπό αιμοκάθαρση
Authors: Λιάπη Δήμητρα
Published: October 2021

Οι κληρονομούμενες θρομβοφιλικές μεταλλάξεις του γονιδίου του παράγοντα V (FV G1691A Leiden - FVL), του γονιδίου της προθρομβίνης (FII G20210Α) και του γονιδίου της μεθυλενοτετραϋδροφολικής αναγωγάσης C677T (MTHFR C677T) αποτελούν παράγοντες κινδύνου για εμφάνιση Χρόνιας Νεφρικής Νόσου (ΧΝΝ), θρομβοεμβολικών συμβάντων και αγγειακών νόσων. Σκοπός: Ο κύριος στόχος αυτής της μελέτης ήταν να διερευνηθεί ο ρόλος των κληρονομικών γονιδιακών μεταλλάξεων στην παθογένεση της (ΧΝΝ) και στην επιβίωση των ασθενών με ΧΝΝ τελικού σταδίου ΧΝΝ-5 που υποβάλλονται σε αιμοκάθαρση. Δευτερεύων στόχος ήταν η διερεύνηση του ρόλου αυτών των παραγόντων στη θρόμβωση των αγγειακών προσπελάσεων, μέσω των οποίων οι νεφροπαθείς υποβάλλονται σε αιμοκάθαρση. Μέθοδοι: Στη μελέτη συμπεριλήφθηκαν και παρακολουθήθηκαν για πέντε χρόνια, 395 ασθενείς με ΧΝΝ-5 υπό εξωνεφρική κάθαρση, από έξι μονάδες αιμοκάθαρσης στην Κρήτη (Ελλάδα). Συλλέχθηκαν δεδομένα σχετικά με την αιτιολογία της ΧΝΝ-5, τις θρομβώσεις των αγγειακών προσπελάσεων (αρτηριοφλεβική επικοινωνία, μόσχευμα, κεντρικός καθετήρας), το χρόνο επιβίωσης και τις αιτίες θανάτου, από τα αρχεία των μονάδων αιμοκάθαρσης. Δείγματα αίματος από 154 υγιείς μάρτυρες και από τους παραπάνω ασθενείς συλλέχθηκαν κατά την έναρξη της μελέτης και ελέγχθηκαν για την παρουσία των θρομβοφιλικών γονιδίων με την τεχνική της αλυσιδωτής αντίδρασης πολυμεράσης (PCR). Αποτελέσματα: Τα μεταλλαγμένα γονίδια ήταν εξίσου διαδεδομένα μεταξύ των ασθενών με ΧΝΝ-5 και της ομάδας ελέγχου χωρίς νεφρική νόσο (p> 0,05). Η ετεροζυγωτία του FVL ήταν σημαντικά πιο διαδεδομένη (11,4% έναντι 5,7%, p =0,036) σε ασθενείς που εμφάνισαν ΧΝΝ άγνωστης αιτιολογίας, σε σύγκριση με την δευτεροπαθή από γνωστές αιτίες ΧΝΝ. Καμία συσχέτιση δεν καταγράφηκε για τις FII G20210Α και MTHFR C677T μεταλλάξεις μεταξύ ασθενών με άγνωστη αιτιολογία ΧΝΝ-5 και ασθενών με άλλες αιτίες ΧΧΝ-5 ή μεταξύ ασθενών με άγνωστη αιτιολογία ΧΝΝ-5 και υγιών μαρτύρων. Επίσης δεν παρατηρήθηκε σημαντική σχέση μεταξύ της εμφάνισης θρόμβωσης στις αγγειακές προσπελάσεις και των εξεταζόμενων μεταλλάξεων (ρ> 0,05). Η επιβίωση των ασθενών με ΧΝΝ-5 που υποβάλλονταν σε αιμοκάθαρση δεν επηρεάστηκε από την παρουσία θρομβοφιλικών μεταλλάξεων ακόμα και όταν η μελέτη περιορίστηκε μόνο στα αγγειακά συμβάντα σαν αιτίες θανάτου. Επιμέρους ανάλυση της έκφρασης των μεταλλάξεων σε σχέση με τα θανατηφόρα αγγειακά συμβάντα τόσο σε όλους τους ασθενείς, όσο και στους ασθενείς με άγνωστη αιτιολογία ΧΝΝ έδειξε ότι οι περισσότεροι ασθενείς με ετεροζυγωτία MTHFR C677T και όλοι οι ασθενείς με ομοζυγωτία MTHFR C677T, απεβίωσαν από αγγειακά συμβάντα κατά την περίοδο παρακολούθησης. Συμπεράσματα: Η κληρονομική μετάλλαξη FVL μπορεί να αποτελέσει παράγοντα κινδύνου για τη πρόκληση ΧΝΝ. Η μελέτη αυτή συμβάλλει στην κατανόηση του ρόλου των μοριακών μηχανισμών οι οποίοι ενέχονται στην παθογένεση της ΧΝΝ αγνώστου αιτιολογίας. Η παρουσία των θρομβοφιλικών μεταλλάξεων δεν επηρεάζει τη συνολική επιβίωση των ασθενών με ΧΝΝ-5 και δεν αυξάνει τον κίνδυνο θρόμβωσης των αγγειακών προσπελάσεων.
Attitudes and habits regarding brain training applications and games among Japanese consumers: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Robb Nigel
Published: October 2021

Background: While there is now a large amount of research investigating whether brain training applications and games are effective or not, there is less research on the expectations, attitudes, and habits of potential users of brain training programs. Previous research suggests that people generally have positive beliefs about the effectiveness of brain training which are not dependent on their level of experience of brain training. However, this research has primarily focused on western participants.

Methods: In the present study, a questionnaire was used to investigate the attitudes and habits of Japanese consumers towards brain training. The final sample contained responses from 818 people. In addition to descriptive statistics, correlation coefficients were calculated to determine if there were relationships between variables relating to participants' beliefs about brain training and experience of using brain training.

Results: Participants had positive beliefs about the effectiveness of brain training. However, these beliefs were negligibly or weakly correlated with their level of experience of using brain training, both in terms of the number programs used (Pearson's r = 0.163) and duration of use (Pearson's r = 0.237). The most widely used brain training program (used by 52.93% of participants) was made by Nintendo for the handheld Nintendo DS games console.

Conclusions: The research presented here supports previous findings which suggest that people's beliefs about the effectiveness of brain training software are not strongly related to their experience of using such software.

Authors: Felipe-Afonso Mª Isaura , García García Luis A. , Castro Sánchez José Juan
Published: October 2021

INTRODUCCIÓN. Este trabajo se ha desarrollado a partir del análisis de la estructura factorial y consistencia interna de la batería de cuestionarios HERGAR. Estos instrumentos fueron creados en la década de los noventa, utilizando los criterios psicométricos más comunes en esa época. Actualmente, gracias al avance metodológico aplicado a las ciencias sociales, es posible incrementar el nivel de exigencia psicométrico. Nuestro principal objetivo es analizar la fiabilidad y estructura factorial empleando las recomendaciones más recientes. MÉTODO. Este estudio se ha realizado con 1.390 estudiantes de 3.º del Grado en Psicología. Los instrumentos analizados fueron: estrategias cognitivas de aprendizaje, estrategias de control en el estudio, hábitos y estrategias motivacionales para el estudio y motivos diferenciales en el estudio y en el aprendizaje. Se realizó un análisis factorial exploratorio con los indicadores KMO y el test de esfericidad de Bartlett, máxima verosimilitud y rotación oblicua oblimin. Posteriormente se halló la consistencia interna de los factores y de las pruebas a través del coeficiente alfa de Cronbach. RESULTADOS. Para el cuestionario ECA se han obtenido 9 factores, para la prueba ECE se dieron 3 factores, para el instrumento MODA se obtuvieron 8 factores y, por último, 11 factores para el cuestionario HEME. La fiabilidad alcanzada para cada prueba fue de: ECA= .900; ECE= .851; MODA= .832 y HEME= .884. DISCUSIÓN. Se han encontrado diferencias en el factorial actual en comparación con el análisis factorial inicial y altos coeficientes de fiabilidad con criterios psicométricos más rigurosos y ajustados a los fundamentos metodológicos actuales. Esta mejora permitirá continuar aplicando estas pruebas a la población universitaria, con una óptima exigencia estadística. Las modificaciones halladas en las estructuras factoriales invitan a reflexionar sobre la posible influencia de los cambios en los planes académicos y por las características actuales de la población universitaria.

Authors: Tesema Ayenew Kassie , Shitu Kegnie , Adugna Asmamaw , Handebo Simegnew
Published: October 2021

Background

The Ethiopian Federal government has locked down schools as one measure to contain Covid-19 pandemic. Psychological effect of COVID-19 on students is increased due to the reopening of schools. The psychological effect of the pandemic is increasing along with physical aspect of health. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the psychological impact of Covid-19 and its contributing factors of students’ behavior in Ethiopia.

Methods

A cross sectional design was conducted from November to December 2020. Data were collected using pre tested self- administered questionnaire from secondary school students in Gondar city North West Ethiopia. Stratified simple random sampling technique was used to select 403 secondary school students. Data were entered and cleaned with Epidata version 4.62 and exported for analysis STATA version 14. Multivariable logistic regression and multiple linear regression were used to show the association of dependent and independent variables. Independent variables in relation to dependent variable measured using odd ratios and B coefficient with 95% confidence interval for Covid-19 anxiety and preventive behavior of Covid-19 respectively were used.

Results

A total of 370 students were participated giving response rate of 92%. The prevalence of Covid-19 anxiety and obsession among secondary school students were 38.1% and 40.27% respectively. Being 11thgrade 54% (AOR = 0.46; 95%CI:0.22, 0.95) and increased knowledge16% (AOR = 0.84;95%CI: 0.77, 0.89) score associated with decreased COVID-19 anxiety while Covid-19 obsession, 14.51 times (AOR = 14.51;95%CI: 8.05, 26.17), and being female 1.6 times (AOR = 1.6; 95%CI: 1.01, 2.51) increased Covid-19 Anxiety. Furthermore, increased self-efficacy 0.5 times (B = 0.5; 95%CI: 0.28, 0.62), and increased cues to action 0.4 times (B = 0.4; 95% CI: 0.19, 0.69) increased preventive behavior of Covid-19 while perceived barrier 0.1 times (B = -0.1; 95%CI:-0.22, 0.01) decrease preventive behavior of Covid-19.

Conclusion

Almost two individuals of five participants developed COVID-19 anxiety and COVID-19 obsession. Being grade 11th and knowledge were negatively associated with anxiety while being female and being obsessed with COVID-19 were positively associated with anxiety. No variable was associated with obsession of Covid-19. Intervention is needed to reduce anxiety among females. Furthermore, perceived barrier, self-efficacy and cues to action were significant factors of preventive behaviour of Covid-19. Therefore, to increase preventive behaviour of Covid-19, information, education and communication and behavioural change communication should be targeted on reducing barriers and increasing motivations and confidences.
La broma de Sócrates inspirado
Authors: Lavilla de Lera Jonathan , Aguirre Santos Javier
Published: October 2021

El presente artículo defiende que Platón bromea cuando su Sócrates afirma estar inspirado o bajo posesión divina en Fedro 238d y Crátilo 396d. Para ello, primero se sitúan en contexto ambos pasajes; a continuación, se muestra que a lo largo de todo el corpus Platón contrapone el conocimiento y el arte (τέχνη) al falso saber y a la inspiración (ἐνθουσιασμός); en tercer y cuarto lugar respectivamente, leemos los pasajes en cuestión en función de esta contraposición, para mostrar que hay que desconfiar de cuanto dice Sócrates cuando burlonamente afirma estar inspirado.

Authors: Wang Jingcheng , Xu Qing , Liu Jianbo , Zheng Shuaishuai , Wang Ruifang , Li Zhanyong
Published: October 2021

A method of combining low-pressure superheated steam drying (LPSSD) and vacuum drying (VD) was proposed to improve the dried pineapple quality and increase the drying rate. It was found that the inversion temperature in low-pressure superheated steam drying of pineapple was 85.75 °C in terms of the first falling rate period. The combining drying (LPSSD–VD) reduced the maximum material temperature by 9.5 °C and 0.35 °C, and shortened the drying time by 50 min and 90 min compared with LPSSD and VD at the same drying temperature of 90 °C. The vitamin C retention rate of dried pineapple by LPSSD–VD was 29.33% and 15.94% higher than that of LPSSD and VD, respectively. The color of dried pineapple was also improved. Moreover, the sugar content of dried pineapple can be well controlled to meet the health demand of low sugar and ensure the taste of dried pineapple during LPSSD–VD process.

Published: October 2021

Hybrid fiber composites are widely used to improve the anti-penetration performance. Carbon/Kevlar hybrid composites are used in aircrafts and safety devices, thanks to the strong toughness of Kevlar fibers and high strength of carbon fibers. In the present work, the contact force of hybrid composites under oblique impact is derived. The viscoelastic constitutive model of Kevlar layer is investigated and the dissipation energies of composites for different high velocity oblique impacts are simulated. The results show that hybrid composites have good bullet-proof performance, the contact forces are fluctuant in short time and the frictional dissipation energy allows us to prevent penetration.

Published: October 2021

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana penerapan skill abad 21 dalam pembelajaran bahasa Jepang secara online di SMA, serta permasalahan yang muncul dalam pelaksanannya. Pengamatan mengenai proses pembelajaran bahasa Jepang dengan menerapkan skill abad 21 ini dikaji menggunakan teori pembelajaran abad 21 dalam pembelajaran online di SMA serta peran guru abad 21. Metode penelitian yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriptif dengan desain penelitian classroom research. Teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi non participant, wawancara terbuka serta dokumentasi. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa guru telah menerapkan skill abad 21 dalam pembelajaran bahasa Jepang secara online dengan menggunakan model pembelajaran flipped learning untuk tema transportasi yang dilaksanakan secara synchronous dan asynchronous. Guru telah menerapkan skill komunikasi, berpikir kritis dan kreatif sesuai dengan masing-masing indikator aspek pembelajaran yang terdiri dari aspek pengenalan topik, kosakata dan pola kalimat, menyimak, serta berbicara. Sementara pada keterampilan kolaborasi, pembelajaran bahasa Jepang terlihat belum maksimal dikarenakan tidak adanya kegiatan berkelompok, sehingga guru hanya bisa menerapkan beberapa indikator pada setiap aspek pembelajaran yaitu pada aspek pengenalan topik dan pengenalan kosakata. Permasalahan yang muncul sesuai hasil wawancara yaitu tidak adanya interaksi secara langsung menyebabkan peserta didik cenderung pasif pada pembelajaran secara asynchronous, sehingga dalam proses penerapan skill abad 21 guru tidak dapat memastikan secara langsung capaian pembelajaran.

Archivarbeit im Wandel
Authors: Schmidt Sarah
Published: October 2021

In Archiven wird Geschichte geschrieben, aber auch die Archivarbeit selbst unterliegt dem Wandel der Zeit. Anhand des preußischen Staatsarchivs in Schleswig-Holstein wird dieser Prozess über den Zeitraum seiner Existenz von 1870 bis 1947 untersucht. Im Fokus stehen hier die Veränderungen in den Kernaufgaben, wie sich also der Bewertungsprozess von Dokumenten änderte, welche Herausforderungen die Aufbewahrung der Archivalien bot und wie stark die Benutzung des Archivs schwankte. Ein besonderer Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Frage, inwiefern individuelle Einflüsse eine Rolle spielten. Dabei werden als Vergleich die anderen preußischen Staatsarchive herangezogen. Darüber hinaus werden aufgrund der engen historischen Verknüpfung die Beziehungen zu Dänemark beleuchtet.
PCI Standard Design Practice Ref ACI 318-14
Authors:   PCI Building Code Committee
Published: October 2021

Precast, prestressed concrete design is based on conformance with the provisions of the American Concrete Institute’s (ACI’s) Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-14) and Commentary (ACI 318R-14). In most cases, these provisions are followed explicitly. Occasionally, interpretation of some sections of ACI 318 is required to ensure quality is maintained in conjunction with the unique characteristics of precast and prestressed concrete fabrication, shipping, and erection. Members of the PCI Building Code Committee, along with other experienced precast concrete design engineers, have identified code provisions, detailed in this publication, that require clarification or interpretation. These design practices are followed by most precast concrete design engineers to produce safe, economical precast concrete structures and they provide a consistent approach for the designers and contractors.
Adolescent HIV/AIDS: Knowledge is a must
Authors: Kalra Shikha
Published: October 2021

HIV/AIDS is a major threat to India. The number of people living with the disease is approaching 5 million. Global research shows that HIV/AIDS has direct links with health, social, psychological as well as economic problems by minimizing life expectancy, increasing burden on health care system, losing status in society and increasing inequality. India has the third largest HIV epidemic in the world, with 2.1 million people living with HIV. HIV/AIDS is a new phenomenon in the society. Misconceptions about HIV/AIDS abound worldwide. Female adolescents face even greater risk for STD transmission than their male peers and older adult women. Hence, the present study was undertaken to assess the gain in knowledge of adolescent girls after exposure to educational programme on selected four aspects of HIV/AIDS i.e. knowledge about adolescent years, information related to reproductive organs and physical changes, information related to HIV/AIDS, preventive measures for HIV/ AIDS (Individual and social responsibilities towards the person infected with HIV). The total sample for present study was consisted of 60 randomly selected adolescent girls belonging to nuclear families and low income group and studying in 10th, 11th, and 12th standards (15 to 18 years of age) of two randomly selected Government Senior secondary Girls Schools of Bikaner city, Rajasthan. The research design used for the present study was one group pre-test-post-test action research. The programme was planned on the basis of the results of pre test. Then, the results of post-test were obtained through the same duly pre-tested questionnaire cum interview schedule which was used during pre test. Frequency, percentage values and paired t-test was applied to see the significant difference between pre test and post-test scores of knowledge. The total sample had highest gain in knowledge (50.75%) in aspect 3 (Information related to HIV/AIDS). The subject had highly significant gain in knowledge at 1% and 5% level of significance. The adolescent girls of class 10th had the highest gain in knowledge i.e. 47.9 % among the group. The major findings revealed the positive and definite impact of educational programme in improving knowledge about HIV/AIDS and to avoid discriminatory treatment to AIDS patient in employment providing services and other benefits.

ABSTRACT Objective: To review the literature about children’s and parent’s perceptions on surgical attire. Data source: A systematic search was conducted in the databases EMBASE, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science. Grey literature was searched on Google Scholar, Open Grey and ProQuest Dissertations, and Theses Database. Data synthesis: A total of 2,567 papers were identified. After a two-phase selection, 15 studies were included in narrative synthesis. Children favored wearing white coats in five of the nine included studies (55.5% [95%CI 48.3-62.7]; p=1.00). With respect to parents’ preferences, results of vote counting showed that in 11 of 15 included studies, they favored physicians wearing white coats (73.3% [95%CI 67.9-78.6]; p=0.11). Conclusions: Children and parents have preferred physicians to wear a white coat with a very low certainty of evidence.

A VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA A MULHER EM MONTES CLAROS
Authors: Romagnoli Roberta Carvalho
Published: October 2021

Este artigo apresenta a pesquisa “Violência Doméstica perpetrada contra a mulher no município de Montes Claros: um recorte possível”. O objetivo do estudo foi investigar quantitativamente e qualitativamente os atos violentos contra as mulheres em Montes Claros, Minas Gerais. Em sua vertente quantitativa os dados foram coletados no 10º Batalhão da Polícia Militar de Montes Claros, através da análise de 1315 boletins de ocorrência no período de agosto de 2007 a agosto de 2009. Os resultados apontam para a maior prevalência do fenômeno nos bairros de periferia e seu turno de maior ocorrência é o noturno. As vítimas e o agressor em sua maioria possuem entre 26 e 35 anos e mais da metade das mulheres já sofreu agressões anteriores. Os tipos de violência mais encontrados são a agressão física e o abuso moral. Os principais motivos atribuídos são discussão doméstica e ingestão de álcool. A vertente qualitativa pretendia conhecer o sentido da violência para as mulheres envolvidas e seus reflexos na família, através de entrevistas semi-estruturadas que não se efetivaram. A partir da Análise Institucional de René Lourau analisamos essa inviabilidade como dado qualitativo, examinando o cotidiano da delegacia após a lei Maria da Penha. Concluímos que a intervenção judicial não é suficiente para a inibição da violência contra a mulher, pois em certos casos afasta da delegacia mulheres com outras demandas acerca da violência, que sofrem e que não podem contar com a ajuda policial para a resolução dos seus conflitos.
Movimentos sociais urbanos e a consolidação da democracia
Authors: Perin Luana Nascimento , Argerich Eloísa Nair de Andrade
Published: October 2021

O presente artigo faz uma abordagem sobre a questão da democracia e a liberdade de expressão no Brasil, ao mesmo tempo em que analisa os movimentos sociais, com enfoque para os movimentos urbanos, que vêm tomando força na atual conjuntura social devido à propagação das redes sociais, cada vez mais presentes nas relações da sociedade. O advento da Internet, nesse viés, muito contribui para que as informações se propaguem de maneira imediata em todo globo. Contudo, deve-se atentar que nem sempre as informações prestadas são seguras e, além disso, podem ter sua interpretação distorcida pelos leitores que, ao mesmo tempo, tornam-se propagadores da distorção informacional. Por fim, o estudo menciona as principais lutas pela redemocratização do país e a sua importância para a consolidação da democracia.
Ainda sobre a democracia deliberativa: um diálogo com habemas
Authors: Leal Rogério Gesta , Friedrich Denise
Published: October 2021

A proposta do presente trabalho remete a discussão filosófica e política sobre a Democracia, visando atender a indagação acerca de qual o modelo democrático apresenta-se mais adequado para a gestão de interesses públicos. Na busca de possíveis respostas a este problema, estruturou-se o trabalho da seguinte forma: primeiramente discute-se os fundamentos Procedimentais da Democracia Deliberativa, analisando a obra de um dos mais conhecidos defensores deste modelo, Habermas. Em seguida parte-se para uma abordagem acerca do papel do Direito no âmbito da Democracia Deliberativa. Finalmente, foram traçadas algumas considerações finais, das quais destaca-se ser possível operar interlocuções voltadas à constituição de pactos civilizatórios e de convívio sustentável entre os atores sociais, como quer a Democracia Deliberativa habermasiana, não perdendo de vista a advertência de que nas ações demarcadoras das possibilidades deste convívio (o que Habermas chama de discursos práticos), é preciso ter presente que as questões identificatórias da vida boa, mesmo quando tratadas sob condições ideais, somente podem encontrar uma resposta racional no horizonte configurado por um esboço de vida já pressuposto como válido por estes mesmos sujeitos do discurso/ação.
Os avanços no Rio Grande do Sul por meio de políticas públicas que efetivam o direito à saúde: um olhar através do programa de assistência ao infante menor de seis anos

O presente estudo tem como objetivo principal analisar o papel das políticas públicas de atendimento de crianças e adolescentes, bem como o papel da responsabilidade entre os três atores principais na garantia de direitos desses infantes: Estado, família e sociedade. O reconhecimento do papel desses atores é importante para garantir de forma eficiente a proteção integral das crianças e adolescentes que se encontram em condição peculiar de desenvolvimento. De olho neste aspecto, o Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, de forma pioneira lançou e consagrou uma Política Pública de efetivação dos direitos fundamentais de crianças de zero à seis anos de idade, o PIM -Programa Primeira Infância Melhor. Dessa forma, o estudo da presente política pública, faz-se necessária no sentido de conhecer melhor sua estrutura e abrangência, bem como uma forma de comprovação dos esforços do Estado em atuar nesta seara ainda tão carente de ações efetivas.
Um olhar à família: ressonâncias psicossociais em familiares que convivem com uma pessoa em situação de transtorno mental
Authors: Almeida Maria Helena Santos , Mendonça Érika de Souza
Published: October 2021

Os transtornos mentais caracterizam-se por alterações no comportamento, no humor e na maneira de pensar, podendo causar comprometimentos funcionais, provocando sofrimentos não só à pessoa que adoece, mas às pessoas com quem ela convive, em especial à família que se torna cuidadora principal. A pesquisa buscou compreender ressonâncias psicossociais em familiares que convivem e cuidam de um parente em situação de transtorno mental. Para tanto, realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, que incluiu entrevistas semiestruturadas e rodas de conversa junto a familiares de usuários de um Centro de Atenção Psicossocial (CAPS), que frequentam o grupo de apoio familiar na instituição. A Análise de Conteúdo revelou três categorias de discussão, a saber: sentimentos da família diante do transtorno mental de seu familiar; a família na convivência e cuidado à pessoa em situação de transtorno mental; a assistência em saúde mental e a importância de cuidar também da família. Constatou-se a necessidade de atenção e assistência aos familiares que cuidam de uma pessoa em situação de transtorno mental, a partir da constatação dos sofrimentos, dificuldades e implicações em sua saúde física e mental frente ao contexto do adoecimento. Ainda, que os familiares contam com restritos espaços e redes de apoio e que, apesar de uma ação limitada no que se refere à integralidade e acolhimento ao familiar, o CAPS vem tendo sua atuação reconhecida positivamente pelos familiares de seus usuários.

La impronta del género en la calidad de la traducción: Incidencia en la traducción al español del cuento
Authors: Aguilera Elvira Cámara , Pradas Macías E. Macarena
Published: October 2021

En el ámbito de la traducción y la interpretación el género no ha sido objeto de análisis en los estudios del perfil de quien traduce; tampoco en la eterna discusión sobre cuál ha de ser su papel. Sin embargo, aunque la cuestión del género no haya sido tradicionalmente objeto de debate en la investigación en traducción e interpretación, en un estudio anterior (Cámara y Pradas 2019) se puso de relieve cómo el género de quien interpreta sí tiene una implicación en el discurso interpretado. Este resultado hace pensar que podrían existir diferencias que a su vez pueden incidir en la evaluación de la calidad del producto final, de ahí que nos hayamos planteado analizar si podría darse esta implicación también en el contexto de la traslación escrita. Partiendo de la línea de investigación de la calidad, que estudia qué aspectos inciden en la evaluación de los receptores de una traducción y/o interpretación, presentamos una investigación en la que introducimos la variable sexo con un claro objetivo: analizar si ante la traducción de un mismo texto hay diferencias en el lenguaje empleado por los traductores varones y las traductoras mujeres. Ni el funcionalismo ni otros enfoques traductológicos han centrado su interés en quien traduce. Este hecho pone de relieve la invisibilidad con la que se concibe el papel del responsable de generar el nuevo texto, aunque ello ocurra de forma inconsciente. Esta circunstancia nos lleva a plantearnos si la desaparición de quien traduce es necesaria para una transmisión correcta y completa del texto origen (TO). El presente estudio se ha llevado a cabo a partir de una muestra formada por las traducciones realizadas desde el alemán hacia el español por tres hombres y por tres mujeres. El texto de partida en alemán es un extracto del cuento Rumpelstilzchen (La hija del molinero) de los Hermanos Grimm. Nos hemos centrado en una traducción literaria porque de todos los géneros de traducción, probablemente sea el más sensible a la impronta que pueda dejar quien traduce. Para el presente estudio, como ya se hiciera en Cámara y Pradas (2019), se han seleccionado una serie de elementos lingüísticos (adjetivos valorativos y/o expresivos, intensificativos o cuantificadores y lenguaje figurado) con el fin de analizar su uso por parte de mujeres y hombres. Los resultados de la muestra del presente estudio se compararán con la incidencia del género en el discurso interpretado (ibídem). Aunque la muestra es muy pequeña para poder afirmarlo taxativamente, existen diferencias en su traducción entre los géneros. Esto abre una línea de investigación fundamental tanto para la evaluación de la calidad como para los estudios relacionados con el perfil de quien traduce.
A prágai egyetem magyarországi diákjainak könyvkultúrája a középkorban
Authors: Haraszti Szabó Péter
Published: October 2021

Bien que la plupart des étudiants de l’université de Prague originaires de Hongrie aient fréquenté la faculté des arts libéraux, ils ne s’intéressaient pas prioritairement aux textes philosophiques. Les textes exploités par la recherche attestent la profondeur de l’intérêt théologique qui caractérisait sans nul doute les jeunes gens en question. Une bonne moitié des 14 éléments bibliographiques dont nous disposons appartient à cette discipline. A force de les étudier, l’on comprendra peut-être mieux les raisons de l’intérêt des Hongrois pour la faculté de théologie de l’université de Prague. L’analyse de ces manuscrits a également illustré que ces textes ne pouvaient pas véhiculer les idées hussites en Hongrie. La plupart des ouvrages théologiques furent copiées par les étudiants afin d’aider le clergé à diriger la vie quotidienne des fideles. Les textes juridiques de Lőrinc (Laurence) Zámbó servirent également à cette fin. Il convient de souligner que dans la juridiction ecclésiastique du diocèse d’Esztergom les manuscrits pragueois jouèrent un rôle particulierement important (voir l’activité du prévôt de Presbourg et le fameux Processus iudiciarius). L’un des codex étudiés nous suggère que dans les années 1360, János (Jean), prévôt de Veszprém, pouvait également fréquenter l’université de Prague. On ne peut pas établir cela avec certitude, mais nous avons réussi à dater le codex en question á la période entre 1364 et 1382. Les textes les plus importants sont, sans nul doute, ceux qu’on peut attribuer à Miklós Feystrip et à János Budai. Les premiers sont vus comme l’antécédent culturel de la bibliothèque de la fraternité des 24 curés de Szepes, quant au second, on peut supposer qu’il s’agit du tout premier manuscrit de János Budai, fondateur du Collegium Christi d’Esztergom (certes, on ne peut pas exclure que nous avons affaire une copie préparée par un étudiant non-identifié originaire de Hongrie).
Lazius-kéziratok
Authors: Kasza Péter
Published: October 2021

L’ouvrage historique monumental de Wolfgang Lazius (1514–1565), les Rerum Austriacarum Decades, négligé par la recherche autrichienne et hongroise, est resté en état de manuscrit. Pourtant, la Ve décade, la chronique de la décennie 1540–1556 de l’histoire hongroise, est un texte d’importance majeure. Il existe trois manuscrits de la décade en question, conservés à l’ÖNB de Vienne. Avant de mener à bien l’édition projeté, il convient de décider, par la voie d’analyses philologiques, laquelles des versions devra en servir de base.Dans la présente étude, nous nous sommes proposé de fournir une présentation interne et externe des trois manuscrits, de donner un rapide synthèse de l’histoire de la recherche à leur sujet, de déterminer avec précision le corpus et enfin de soutenir avec des arguments philologiques notre hypothèse sur l’ordre chronologique de la naissance des trois manuscrits.
Az Akadémiai Könyvtár Teleki-állományának magyar vonatkozású botanikai és zoológiai könyvei
Authors: Sallai Ágnes , Szabó Ádám
Published: October 2021

L’objectif de notre étude est la présentation des ouvrages conservés, depuis sa fondation (en 1826), à la Bibliothèque de l’Académie Hongroise des Sciences (MTA KIK), ayant joué un rôle dans l’histoire de la botanique et de la zoologie en Hongrie, soit par leur contenu portant sur la flore et la faune du pays, soit par leur langue, soit par les liens de leurs auteurs avec la Hongrie. Le stock de livres en question a été offert, au nom de la famille très illustre des Teleki, á l’Académie fondée un an auparavant, par Joseph Teleki. L’examen minutieux de la collection a été longtemps empêché par les événements qui avaient lieu dans les premieres décennies de l’histoire de la Bibliothèque. Nous avons pu terminer notre étude en profitant de l’exploration systématique de la collection (grâce á la bourse de jeunesse accordée par l’Etat hongrois). L’occasion a été le Ier colloque consacré á l’histoire de la science de la Société Hongroise de Biologie – nous y avons présenté une affiche intitulée les Teleki au service de la science.

Funcionalidad y Recursos Tímbricos en la Guitarra: Clasificación de las Posibilidades Tímbricas del Instrumento para Enriquecer una Propuesta Musical Interpretativa
Authors: Molano Posada Juan Manuel
Published: October 2021

Este artículo aborda el timbre como un aspecto importante en la interpretación de obras para guitarra, y se enfoca particularmente en un repertorio en el cual no son explícitas las indicaciones tímbricas. Para ello, se define inicialmente el papel que ha ocupado el timbre dentro de la comunidad guitarrística a lo largo de la historia; posteriormente, se determina qué aspectos técnicos del instrumento permiten variación tímbrica; y, por último, se clasifican las funciones que ocupa el timbre dentro del discurso musical a partir de ejemplos de diferentes periodos estilísticos. Esto con el fin de presentar una visión interpretativa, por medio de la cual, el intérprete guitarrista pueda incorporar estos matices de una manera clara, consciente, y coherente con el discurso musical.
A Cross-Border Corporate Agreement: Features of a Foreign Element
Authors: Kharkina K. V.
Published: October 2021

The development of cross-border commercial relations results in increasing the number of legal entities with foreign participation. To ensure effective management of such companies, founders increasingly conclude cross-border corporate agreements. If disputes arise on the basis of this agreement, questions concerning their qualification may appear, in particular, regarding the determination of whether a particular corporate agreement is cross-border in nature. The range of applicable sources of law for resolving the dispute will depend on the determination. A unified approach to determining the characteristics that affect the recognition of a corporate agreement as cross-border have been developed neither at the legislative level nor in judicial practice or the doctrine. In this regard, the purpose of the paper is to analyze the impact of each foreign element (subject, object, legal fact) on the recognition of a corporate agreement as a cross-border agreement. The author analyzes the existing judicial practice and doctrine, simulates situations that may arise in connection with the conclusion and execution of a cross-border corporate agreement, on the basis of which the author comes to a reasonable conclusion that the only practically applicable criterion for identifying the cross-border nature of a corporate agreement is its subject, while neither the object of the relationship nor the fact of the conclusion and/or execution of a corporate agreement in a foreign jurisdiction affect the fact that a corporate agreement is recognized as cross-border.
