Published: December 2021

To explore the ecophysiological characteristics of the kleptoplastidic dinoflagellate Shimiella gracilenta, we determined its spatiotemporal distribution in Korean coastal waters and growth and ingestion rates as a function of prey concentration. The abundance of S. gracilenta at 28 stations from 2015 to 2018 was measured using quantitative realtime polymerase chain reaction. Cells of S. gracilenta were detected at least once at all the stations and in each season, when temperature and salinity were 1.7–26.4°C and 9.9–35.6, respectively. Moreover, among the 28 potential prey species tested, S. gracilenta SGJH1904 fed on diverse prey taxa. However, the highest abundance of S. gracilenta was only 3 cells mL-1 during the study period. The threshold Teleaulax amphioxeia concentration for S. gracilenta growth was 5,618 cells mL-1, which was much higher than the highest abundance of T. amphioxeia (667 cells mL-1). Thus, T. amphioxeia was not likely to support the growth of S. gracilenta in the field during the study period. However, the maximum specific growth and ingestion rates of S. gracilenta on T. amphioxeia, the optimal prey species, were 1.36 d-1 and 0.04 ng C predator- 1 d-1, respectively. Thus, if the abundance of T. amphioxeia was much higher than 5,618 cells mL-1, the abundance of S. gracilenta could be much higher than the highest abundance observed in this study. Eurythermal and euryhaline characteristics of S. gracilenta and its ability to feed on diverse prey species and conduct kleptoplastidy are likely to be responsible for its common spatiotemporal distribution.

Published: December 2021

Ion channels are membrane protein complexes mediating passive ion flux across the cell membranes. Every organism has a certain set of ion channels that define its physiology. Dinoflagellates are ecologically important microorganisms characterized by effective physiological adaptability, which backs up their massive proliferations that often result in harmful blooms (red tides). In this study, we used a bioinformatics approach to identify homologs of known ion channels that belong to 36 ion channel families. We demonstrated that the versatility of the dinoflagellate physiology is underpinned by a high diversity of ion channels including homologs of animal and plant proteins, as well as channels unique to protists. The analysis of 27 transcriptomes allowed reconstructing a consensus ion channel repertoire (channelome) of dinoflagellates including the members of 31 ion channel families: inwardly-rectifying potassium channels, two-pore domain potassium channels, voltage-gated potassium channels (Kv), tandem Kv, cyclic nucleotide-binding domain-containing channels (CNBD), tandem CNBD, eukaryotic ionotropic glutamate receptors, large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels, intermediate/small-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels, eukaryotic single-domain voltage-gated cation channels, transient receptor potential channels, two-pore domain calcium channels, four-domain voltage-gated cation channels, cation and anion Cys-loop receptors, small-conductivity mechanosensitive channels, large-conductivity mechanosensitive channels, voltage-gated proton channels, inositole-1,4,5- trisphosphate receptors, slow anion channels, aluminum-activated malate transporters and quick anion channels, mitochondrial calcium uniporters, voltage-dependent anion channels, vesicular chloride channels, ionotropic purinergic receptors, animal volage-insensitive cation channels, channelrhodopsins, bestrophins, voltage-gated chloride channels H+/Cl- exchangers, plant calcium-permeable mechanosensitive channels, and trimeric intracellular cation channels. Overall, dinoflagellates represent cells able to respond to physical and chemical stimuli utilizing a wide range of Gprotein coupled receptors- and Ca2+-dependent signaling pathways. The applied approach not only shed light on the ion channel set in dinoflagellates, but also provided the information on possible molecular mechanisms underlying vital cellular processes dependent on the ion transport.

Religion and the Political Process: the Fourth Wave of Democratization
Authors: Lunkin R. N.
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes the role of religion in socio-political processes in Europe, in the post-Soviet space, and more broadly in the Western world. The structural and functional approach, methods of sociological and political analysis of the religious factor as a political phenomenon are applied. The purpose of the study is to analyze the role of religion (mainly Christian churches) in democratic processes on the example of the EU member states and the post-Soviet space. Special attention is paid to the participation of various Christian churches in socio-political transformations, conflicts and “orange” revolutions, as well as to the opposition of religion to the ideology of modern liberal democracy from the standpoint of traditionalism (identity). It is concluded that religion has become an important marker of a global phenomenon that can be called the “fourth wave” of democratization (following the periodization of S. Huntington). If within the framework of the third wave, religion was one of the elements and at the same time objects of democratization, then since the 2000s religion is the main impulse factor of the entire process of traditionalist democratization in social, political and cultural dimensions. The civic activity of believers corrects liberal democracy, makes it more “moral,” and not archaic. The merit of religion is that it has clearly defined the boundaries beyond which the democracy of the future should not be transgressed: the recognition of the right to traditional moral foundations for entire societies and states along with the usual liberal freedoms, i.e., equality of all races and peoples, the value of every person, the freedom of speech.

Investigating the Income Inequality in Indonesia: An Application of Autoregressive Distributed Lag Approach
Authors: Nazli Zulfa , Jamal Abd. , Nasir Muhammad
Published: December 2021

This study investigates the effect of economic growth, urban population, unemployment, and human capital on income inequality in Indonesia. Annual data collected from World Development Indicator (WDI) is used from 1984 to 2019. The analytical method of this research is Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) to examine the short and long-term relationships. The results show that economic growth positively and significantly affects income inequality in the short and long term. The urban population variable has a significant negative effect in the short term but not in the long term. The unemployment variable has a significant positive effect in the long run. Finally, human capital negatively affects the short term while not in the long term. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the government stabilize inequality by increasing progressive taxes, creating jobs, providing soft skills training beyond formal education, and socializing the concept of commuter work.

Authors: PATEL Shefali S. , SAHOO Susmita
Published: December 2021

This study describes phytoplankton abundance and diversity from site 1 (downstream) and site 2 (upstream) of Auranga Estuary (20˚63’ N and 72˚82’ E). A Total of 44 species of phytoplankton were recorded, 35 species from downstream and 24 species from upstream. The assessed abundance was 129 cells/mL and 86 cells/mL from the downstream and upstream, respectively. Bacillariophyceae (19) was the dominant group followed by Chlorophyceae (10), Cyanobacteria (07), Dinophyceae (07), and Chrysophyceae (01). Nitzschia, Coscinodiscus and Ceratium were abundant genera at site 1 and Spirogyra, Microcystis, Chlorella and Oscillatoria were abundant at site 2. Nitzschiaceae and Zygnemataceae had highest family contribution at the downstream and upstream, respectively. Members of Bacillariophyceae and Cyanobacteria were present in high numbers throughout the year. The abundance of Chlorophyceae did not fluctuate greatly. Chrysophyceae (Chromulina pascheri) was observed during the summer period. Spatially, downstream had higher species diversity and abundance than upstream whereas winter season was favorable for plankton growth compared to summer and monsoon. Species dominance (Site 1: 0.238; Site 2: 0.257) richness (Site 1: 1.13; Site 2: 1.36), evenness (Site 1: 0.88; Site 2: 0.79) and diversity were assessed using alpha biodiversity indices. The Shannon diversity index was 1.417 and 1.268 for downstream and upstream, respectively. It indicates less diversity level in this estuary.

Published: December 2021

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the level of coronaphobia caused by the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in patients with fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) and to compare the results in patients without FMS.

Patients and methods: Between August 2020 and October 2020, a total of 61 patients who were admitted to our outpatient clinic were included. The patients were divided into two groups as Group 1 (n=30; 2 males, 28 females; mean age: 43.2±9.3 years; range, 21 to 61 years) consisting of patients who were newly diagnosed or under follow-up for FMS and Group 2, the control group, (n=31; 4 males, 27 females; mean age: 49±10.7 years; range, 25 to 66 years) consisting patients who presented with any locomotor system complaint and were not diagnosed with FMS. Sociodemographic data of the patients and comorbidities were recorded. All the patients in both groups completed the COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S).

Results: The C19P-S total score and psychological, psychosomatic, social, and economic subscale scores were statistically significantly higher in the FMS group than the control group (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Our study results suggest that FMS patients have more concerns in this extraordinary global pandemic situation. Early detection of coronaphobia and timely psychological support are critical for individuals prone to psychological disorders, such as FMS.

Published: December 2021

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether shoulder ultrasound (US) findings were associated with disease activity and pain level in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.

Patients and methods: Between April 2019 and November 2019, a total of 60 shoulders of 30 female patients with RA (mean age: 53.8±12.0 years; range, 30 to 65 years) were included. The patients were questioned about shoulder pain and their Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS28) was estimated. After clinical examination with shoulder impingement tests, both shoulders were evaluated by US.

Results: Of 60 shoulders examined by shoulder US, the most common shoulder pathology was supraspinatus tendinopathy (n=33, 55%). The prevalence of subdeltoid bursitis on US was significantly higher in the group with moderate disease activity, compared to the group with low disease activity (p<0.05). There were no significant differences in the physical examination findings of patients with low and moderate disease activity. In terms of US findings, subscapularis tendinopathy, glenohumeral joint and acromioclavicular joint degeneration, and subacromial bursitis were more common in shoulders with a history of pain, compared to non-painful shoulders.

Conclusion: Shoulder US may be useful for demonstrating shoulder involvement in patients with RA, independent of the presence of shoulder pain.

Published: December 2021

Objectives: This study aims to compare disease characteristics in patients with juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) and adult-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (ASLE).

Patients and methods: Between June 2010 and March 2020, a total of 186 patients with JSLE (23 males, 163 females; median age: 25 years; range, 20 to 30.3 years) and 236 patients with ASLE (23 males, 213 females; median age: 35 years; range, 29 to 40 years) were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and laboratory data, treatment received, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) and Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC)/ACR Damage Index (SDI) scores, comorbidities and deaths were compared between the groups.

Results: The JSLE patients showed statistically significant higher constitutional manifestations, cardiac manifestations, serositis, nephritis, end-stage renal disease, neurological manifestations, gastrointestinal manifestations, secondary vasculitis, Raynaud’s, livedo-reticularis, dry mouth, dry eye, ocular manifestations, avascular necrosis, hematological manifestations, and hypocomplementemia (p<0.001, p=0.016, p=0.005, p=0.001, p=0.04, p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.001, p=0.002, p=0.043, p=0.004, p=0.03, p<0.001, p=0.01, p<0.001, and p=0.001, respectively). Median SLEDAI scores were statistically significant higher in the JSLE group, both at onset (p<0.001) and in the final follow-up visit (p<0.001). Median SLICC scores were also higher in the JSLE group (p<0.001). Mycophenolate mofetil and intravenous pulse steroids were more frequently used in the juvenile group (p<0.001 and p=0.03, respectively). Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and avascular necrosis were found to be statistically significantly higher in the JSLE group (p<0.001, p=0.006, and p=0.01, respectively). The mortality rate was statistically significantly higher in the JSLE group than the ASLE group (p<0.001).

Conclusion: The JSLE patients showed more serious manifestations, higher disease activity, higher damage index, and mortality rate compared to ASLE patients. These results suggest the need of a regular follow-up and close surveillance of JSLE patients.

Published: December 2021

Objectives: This study aims to investigate clinical presentations, antiphospholipid antibody patterns and their levels, therapeutic regimens, and outcomes in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) admitted to a tertiary care hospital of a South Asian country.

Patients and methods: Between January 2009 and December 2019, a total of 216 patients with APS (8 males, 208 females; median age: 35.7±6.9 years; range, 20 to 76 years) who either fulfilled the modified Sydney criteria or those who satisfied only clinical criteria along with positive antiphospholipid antibody on at least one occasion (probable APS) were retrospectively analyzed.

Results: The majority of the patients (n=183, 84.7%) had obstetric complications, followed by venous thrombosis in 23 (10.8%) patients. Recurrent early abortions in 126 (58.6%) and deep venous thrombosis in 16 (7.4%) patients were the most prevalent obstetrical and venous events, respectively, whereas limb gangrene in seven (3.3%) and ischemic stroke in seven (3.3%) were the most common arterial events. A total of 190 (88%) patients had primary APS, while 26 (12%) had secondary APS. Systemic lupus erythematosus was the frequent association with secondary APS found in 19 (73%) patients. Immunoglobulin M (IgM) anticardiolipin antibody was present in 173 (65.0%) patients, being the most commonly reported antibody. Probable catastrophic APS was found in four (1.9%) patients. Majority of the patients (n=190, 87.9%) were treated with a combination of acetylsalicylic acid and low-molecular-weight heparin. Single mortality was observed in our study population due to complications related to catastrophic APS.

Conclusion: Antiphospholipid syndrome has a wide range of thrombotic and obstetrical manifestations with important variations in different regions of the world. There is a significant morbidity and mortality related to APS, despite treatment with anticoagulation and; therefore, describing prognostic markers and optimal therapeutic interventions is pivotal to prevent complications.
The Zombie as a Mirror of Modern Mass Culture
Authors: Yakushenkov Serguey N. , Yakushenkova Olesya S.
Published: December 2021

Zombies were and still are one of the most important symbols of modern mass culture. The zombie discourse originated among African slaves brought to the sugar plantations in the Caribbean. In many ways, the narratives of the “living dead” were a reaction to the crisis phenomena of plantation life. This is evidenced by the rich comparative material presented on many peoples of the world. Such notions of invulnerability after formal death proved to be an important tool of resistance to new conditions caused by external threats. Termed “revitalization,” they were an important element of the Millennialist movements. While initially the sorcerers who could bring themselves back to life were central to these beliefs, in the following period the focus shifted to the victims of various manipulations, transformed into soulless beings. Leaving the environment of their original “habitat,” zombies took on a new life, occupying a firm place in modern mass culture. Having become a symbol of ruthless exploitation of man, relegated to the level of a machine appendage, zombies proved to be one of the most “productive” symbols. They reflected the main trends in the development of society and even began to function as instruments of philosophical reflection. All this allows us to consider zombies as an indicator of altered society, producing new “walking dead”. The metaphors associated with zombies allows us to conclude that the comprehension of zombies makes modern man begin to perceive them constructively, creating a new image, demonstrating the movement towards humanization.
The New Zombie Apocalypse and Social Crisis in South Korean Cinema (translation into Russian)
Authors: Lee Sung-Ae
Published: December 2021

The popular culture version of the zombie, developed over the latter half of the twentieth century, made only sporadic appearances in South Korean film, which may in part be attributed to the restrictions on the distribution of American and Japanese films before 1988. Thus the first zombie film Monstrous Corpse (Goeshi 1980, directed by Gang Beom-Gu), was a loose remake of the Spanish-Italian Non si deve profanare il sonno dei morti (1974). Monstrous Corpse was largely forgotten until given a screening by KBS in 2011. Zombies don’t appear again for a quarter of a century. This article examines four zombie films released between 2012 and 2018: “Ambulance”, the fourth film in Horror Stories (2012), a popular horror portmanteau film; Train to Busan (2016) (directed by Yeon Sang-Ho), the first South Korean blockbuster film in the “zombie apocalypse” sub-genre; Seoul Station (2016), an animation prequel to Train to Busan (also directed by Yeon Sang-Ho); and Rampant (2018, directed by Kim Seong-Hun ), a costume drama set in Korea’s Joseon era. Based on a cognitive studies approach, this article examines two conceptual metaphors which underlie these films: the very common metaphor, LIFE IS A JOURNEY, and the endemically Korean metaphor THE NATION IS A FAMILY.

Published: December 2021

We evaluate the importance of institutional factors in influencing the emission intensity in 21 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation economies from 2000 to 2019. We show that rising corruption and decreasing governance quality exert positive impacts on pollution in addition to a positive association between oil consumption and pollution. We further note that increasing economic freedom and regulatory standards significantly help reduce pollution. However, the relation between human development and pollution is found to be mixed across our empirical models.

Published: December 2021

Acharya Sushruta is the pioneer of Kshara Kalpana, as he introduced Kshara Kalpana (Ayurvedic formulation) in one of the specific chapters. These alkaline preparations have many therapeutic usages and even proved to be effective in treating many disorders through external use as well as internal use. External applications of these preparations have replaced many surgical procedures. Kshara is alkaline substance obtained from the ash of herbal drugs. Kshara is a substance that has Ksharan (corrosive) nature means which removes Dusta Tvagmansadi (viti- ated debris of skin, flesh etc.) or vitiated Dosha, Dhatu, Mala. Now a days Kshara and Ksharasutra is routinely prepared by Apamarga Kshara. Acharya Susruta has mentioned 23 plants from which we can make the Kshara. So, we need more plants to explore for kshara preparation. We selected Snuhi for Kshara preparation and comparative physico-chemical study is done with standard Apamarga Kshara.

Published: December 2021

Hepatic Steatosis is a common predicament in society due to changes in lifestyle and food practices. Depending upon the cause and amount of accumulation, fatty change may be mild and reversible, or severe producing irreversible cell injury and cell death. Disturbances of lipid metabolism in the liver due to various etiological factors lead to Fatty Liver. Ayurveda has immense potential in the management of Non-Communicable Diseases, and Fatty liver is one among them. In Ayurveda, a direct correlation of Fatty liver is not found but it can be considered under Yakrit roga and Medo roga, as a Santarpanjanya Vyadhi. Hepatic steatosis patients are treated with Triphaladi yoga and Yashtimadhu churna for 3 months, in the Department of Kayachikitsa, Govt. Ayurvedic College and Hospital, Guwahati. This trial aims to formulate a practical Ayurvedic protocol for the management of Grade I and Grade II Fatty liver. However, further research studies are needed to fulfil the aims and objectives.

Published: December 2021

Ayurveda is a divine, holistic ancient Indian medical science which treats physical and mental disorder. Ayurveda has lot of secrets to unveil; Marma is a unique secret of one of them. Ayurveda describes one hundred seven marma as vital spots which are characteristic of life contributing to or essential for life. Acharya Charak de- scribed Tri-marma as Sira, Hridaya and Basti which can be correlated as Central nervous system, cardiovascular system and urinary system. Ayurveda also described medical emergencies at the time of war, in this prospectus Marma are mentioned as a spot which should be protected by opponent. The Prana means vital breath lives in Sira, Hridaya and Basti so every person should protect this vital spot. In this article an effort is made to correlate tri-marma specially Hridaya marma and understand the concept of tri-marma on the basis of ayurevd literature and modern concept and try to verify its importance on Marma chikitsa.

Published: December 2021

Human breast milk serves as a source of nutrition which is uncontaminated by environmental pathogen. Multiple immunological factors produced by the mother’s immune system are transported to infant through breast milk and are associated with a protective role against infection in children. It reduces the incidence of infantile diarrhoea, sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), allergic/hypersensitivity diseases, and development of Type 1 (insulin de- pendent) and Type 2 (non-insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus relative to the use of infant formula. In Ayurveda, ‘Kasyapa’ defines pure breast milk as that which the baby thrives well and both the mother and baby remain happy, healthy, and free from any ailment. Breast milk promotes growth and development and acts as a tonic for all the tissues. In Ayurveda text, many herbs are described for improving breast milk under the name “Stanyajanana”.

Blended Learning merupakan salah satu model pembelajaran yang memadukan pembelajaran tatap muka (konvensional) dan pembelajaran online. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah Pre-Experimental Designs dengan model One –Group Pretest- Postest Design, yang bertujuan untuk menilai perbedaan hasil belajar model pembelajaran blended learning dengan model pembelajaran tatap muka langsung (konvensional). Penelitian dilakukan pada mahasiswa Prodi Pendidikan Bahasa Inggris UIN Ar-raniry di semester Genap 2020/2021 yang berjumlah 30 orang yang dipilih dengan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan instrumen tes, sedangkan teknik analisis data menggunakan uji prasyarat dan uji hipotesis. Berdasarkan penelitian diperoleh nilai t hitung sebesar 9,517 dan pada taraf signifikansi 0,05 diperoleh nilai t tabel sebesar 2,045 yang artinya t hitung > t tabel (9,517 > 2,045) maka Ho ditolak dan Ha diterima artinya terdapat perbedaan rata-rata antara hasil belajar Pretest dan Posttest yang berarti bahwa pembelajaran model blended learning memberikan efektivitas yang signifikan dan lebih baik dibandingkan dengan pembelajaran tatap muka (konvensional). Namun berdasarkan nilai rata-rata N-gain Score sebesar 29,90. atau 29,90% termasuk dalam kategori tidak efektif. Hal ini cukup dimaklumi mengingat berbagai kendala dan keterbatasan yang menyebabkan pembelajaran belum dapat dilaksanakan secara maksimal. Sehingga wajar sekali efektivitas model pembelajaran Blended learning dalam penelitian ini tidak efektif untuk meningkatkan hasil belajar.
Yoksulluk Sorunu İçin Hegel’in Sistemine İçkin Bir Çözümün İmkânı
Authors: AKAY ATASOY Seda
Published: December 2021

Hegel, yoksulluk sorununu devlet aşamasına geçişte sivil topluma özgü bir sorun olarak ele almakta ve bu sorunun radikal bir soruna kendi emeği ile yaşamak onurunu, hukuka olan saygısını ve kendine olan güvenini kaybetmiş bir yığın olan ayaktakımı ile dönüştüğünü öne sürmektedir. Yoksulluk sorununa Hegel tarafından çeşitli çözüm önerileri getirilse de literatürdeki pek çok çalışmada bu öneriler yetersiz bulunmakta ya da Hegel’in sorunu çözümsüz bıraktığı ifade edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada yoksulluk sorununa Hegel’in düşünce sistemi dışına çıkılmaksızın korporasyon temelli bir çözüm önerisi getirilmektedir. Bu kapsamda yoksulluk için doğrudan devlet müdahalesi veya tam refah devleti oluşumu içermeyen aşamalı bir çözüm öngörülmekte, çözümün sivil toplum aşamasında gerçekleşmesi ve devletin kontrolü altında tamamlanması amaçlanmaktadır. Yoksulluğun radikal bir soruna ayaktakımı vasıtasıyla dönüşmesinden hareketle, çözümün temelinde korporasyonların modernizasyonu ve eğitim sisteminde gerçekleştirilecek reform yer almakta, bu sayede bireylerin işgücü piyasasında tutunmaları ve ayaktakımına dönüşmelerinin engellenmesi planlanmaktadır. Modelde bireyler günümüzde de kullanılmakta olan asgari ücret, evrensel gelir desteği gibi iktisadi unsurlarla koruma altına alınmaktadır.
PROFESSORES CURSISTAS DO PNAIC E SUAS CONCEPÇÕES DOS SOBRE A PRODUÇÃO ESCRITA INFANTIL

Published: December 2021

O artigo apresenta os resultados de uma pesquisa que tem como objetivo analisar as concepções teóricas e metodológicas que as professoras do 1º e do 2º ano do Ensino Fundamental de uma escola pública, construíram a partir do curso de formação continuada do Pacto Nacional pela Alfabetização na Idade Certa (PNAIC) quanto a produção escrita no ciclo de alfabetização. O estudo teve como sujeitos colaboradoras duas professoras alfabetizadoras que participaram do curso de formação do referido programa formativo. Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e crítico (LUDKE; ANDRÉ, 1986) e teve como procedimentos de estudo dos dados empíricos das entrevistas semiestruturadas a Análise de Conteúdo do tipo categorial (BARDIN, 1977), bem como foi realizada a revisão da literatura sobre formação continuada, produção escrita e alfabetização e o estudo dos documentos do programa. Os resultados mostram um distanciamento das concepções teórico-metodológicas das professoras com as orientações estabelecidas pelo PNAIC, visto que não demonstram em seus discursos apropriação dos principais conceitos, objetivos e encaminhamentos metodológicos que a formação continuada abordava, quanto a produção da escrita das crianças, e a ausência desses conhecimentos as conduzia a um retorno as estratégias pedagógicas que prioriza a repetição e a memorização de letras e sílabas, oriundas do ensino tradicional para alfabetizar.

Para combater o sedentarismo originado pela era tecnológica em que vivemos, é necessário encontrar estratégias de promoção de atividade física em crianças e adolescentes. O deslocamento ativo para a escola é uma fonte de atividade física moderada continua que os jovens têm ignorado.  O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever a forma de deslocação no trajeto casa-escola, comparando segundo as variáveis de sexo, idade e distância, verificando a concordância entre a perceção de pais e filhos. Participaram 352 crianças com uma média de idades de 10.83 (DP± .71) e seus pais com um intervalo de idades entre os 35 anos e 50 anos, de duas escolas públicas do ensino básico de Braga (Portugal). Foi aplicado o questionário "Transporte Ativo e Rotinas", para avaliar o meio de transporte, distância e tempo despendido na deslocação casa-escola. Apenas houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas no meio de transporte utilizadoen função da distância a percorrer (p< .00). Nas distâncias até um km, os alunos deslocam-se preferencialmente a pé; em distâncias superiores deslocam-se de automóvel e autocarro. Quanto ao sexo e idade não houve diferenças significativas. Nenhum aluno referiu deslocar-se de bicicleta para a escola.  Existe uma concordância entre a perceção das crianças e dos pais quanto à distância, meio de transporte utilizado e tempo despendido na deslocação casa-escola. A distância casa-escola foi a única variável diferenciadora do meio de transportes utilizado. As crianças e os seus pais têm uma perceção semelhante da distância, tempo e meio de transporte utilizado na deslocação casa-escola.

Authors: Ramos Cabal Hugo
Published: December 2021

El Turismo activo ha venido siendo un sector empresarial en auge y desarrollo en el territorio español, con una gran diversidad de normativas existentes en base a las competencias que recaen en las Comunidades Autónomas. El riesgo inherente a estas prácticas deportivas en el medio natural conlleva la exposición de los participantes a la posibilidad de sufrir un accidente. Ante la inexistencia de un Procedimiento de Actuación ante accidentes en actividades de Turismo activo, se ha desarrollado una herramienta de aplicación a todas las actividades del sector, a partir de los aspectos a valorar por parte del guía de Turismo activo, la cual establece cinco fases desde que se produce el accidente hasta el finde la actividad. Para ello se ha realizado una revisión bibliográfica y la consulta a un grupo de expertos vinculados a la prevención de riesgos, rescate, organización y guiado de actividades en el medio natural y el Turismo activo. La herramienta propuesta aporta unas pautas de actuación seguras en caso de accidente, para los guías de Turismo activo, en base a la normativa vigente y las características propias de las actividades que realizan, con el fin de asegurar una correcta actuación para subsanar o evitar el agravio de las lesiones padecidas y/o facilitar el rescate y evacuación de la persona accidentada.
Abstract. Active Tourism has been a developing business sector in the Spanish territory. There are a great diversity of different regulations and legislation for each Autonomous Community. The practice of physical activity in the natural environment entails the exposure of the athletes to the possibility of suffering an accident. In the absence of an Action Procedure for accidents in active tourism activities, an application tool has been developed for all activities in the sector. It has been based on the aspects to be assessed by the Active Tourism guide. The tool stablishes five steps to follow, from the accident until the end of the activity. A bibliographic review and consultation with a group of experts has been carried out. The group of experts were linked to risk prevention, rescue, organization, and guide of activities in the natural environment and active tourism. The proposed procedure provides guidelines for safe action in the event of an accident, for Active Tourism guides, based on current regulations and the characteristics of the activities they carry out, to ensure correct action to correct, or avoid, the grievance of the injuries suffered and / or facilitate the rescue and evacuation of the injured person.
