Proposta de mensuração do nível de urbanicidade das cidades brasileiras a partir dos dados do censo demográfico de 2010
Authors: Oliveira Bruno Luciano Carneiro Alves de , Santos Alcione Miranda dos
Published: March 2022

Resumo O objetivo é apresentar uma proposta de mensuração do nível de urbanicidade das cidades brasileiras com dados do censo 2010. Estudo ecológico que usou a classificação oficial do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) - urbano rural - e a de Veiga (2002) - Pequeno, Médio e Grande porte. Utilizou-se árvore de classificação para predição com Validação Cruzada. Testaram-se dois modelos de análise. No modelo 1, as variáveis independentes foram as características físicas e sociais das cidades, e o desfecho a classificação no critério IBGE. No modelo 2, além das variáveis usadas no modelo 1, incluiu-se como covariável o critério de Veiga (2002). Construída a árvore, calcularam-se a sensibilidade, especificidade e acurácia. O modelo 2 apresentou ganhos estatisticamente significante na predição do nível de urbanicidade, aumentando as estimativas de sensibilidade e acurácia nos conjuntos usados para teste. Municípios de grande porte foram classificados automaticamente como urbano no modelo 2. Mas, para predizer a urbanicidade das demais cidades houve a combinação dos critérios de Veiga (2002) com outras características físicas e sociais das cidades. A combinação de indicadores no modelo 2 permitiu definir critérios quantitativos para criar tipologias de classificação do urbano rural para o territorial municipal brasileiro.

Published: March 2022

Resumo O padrão de morbimortalidade tem-se modificado nos últimos anos com aumento das doenças crônicas não-transmissíveis levando a múltiplas comorbidades e ao uso de muitos medicamentos. O objetivo foi avaliar o uso de medicamentos com ação anticolinérgica por idosos. Estudo transversal de base populacional, com indivíduos de 60 anos ou mais. Foram investigados fatores socioeconômicos, problemas de saúde e utilização de medicamentos nos últimos 15 dias. Para a classificação dos medicamentos com atividade anticolinérgica foram utilizadas as escalas: Anticholinergic Drug Scale (ADS), Anticholinergic Risc Scale (ARS), Anticolinergic Cognitive Burden Scale (ACB). Entrevistados 1.451 idosos, destes, 1.305 utilizaram medicamentos, sendo que 60,7% usaram fármacos com ação anticolinérgica, sobretudo aqueles com mais de 80 anos e os menos escolarizados. No total, 5.703 medicamentos foram usados, 1.282 (22,5%) com ação anticolinérgica. Observou-se concordância kappa de 0,63 quando se avaliou as escalas de risco ACB e ADS. A prevalência de uso de fármacos com ação anticolinérgica foi alta, deve-se estar atento às consequências relativas ao seu uso, tendo em vista a tomada de decisão mais racional na prática clínica.
Análise da política nacional de DST/Aids sob a perspectiva do modelo de coalizões de defesa
Authors: Almeida Ana Isabella Sousa , Ribeiro José Mendes , Bastos Francisco Inácio
Published: March 2022

Resumo O sucesso do Programa Nacional de DST/Aids no Brasil se deve, em boa medida, à pluralidade de atores sociais engajados no combate à Aids. Este artigo visa analisar a dinâmica de mudanças ocorridas dentro do subsistema da Política Nacional de DST/Aids à luz do modelo de coalizões de defesa (MCD). Trata-se de um estudo que se vale da análise documental dos marcos normativos e de entrevistas com informantes-chave. Os resultados apontam para a formação de três coalizões: Coalizão A (engajamento social), Coalizão B (força governamental), e Coalizão C (parcerias internacionais), que, mediadas pelos parlamentares e instituições científicas, travam disputas traduzindo seus pontos de vista em ações governamentais. Os achados mostram que, embora bem-sucedida, a Política Nacional de DST/Aids enfrentou grandes dificuldades em estabelecer padrões que contemplassem as necessidades da população. Entretanto, mesmo que as coalizões contem com estratégias distintas, apresentam-se como convergentes, pois se direcionam para o mesmo objetivo. Vale ressaltar que, nos dias atuais, a onda conservadora atuante no Brasil apresenta tendência a inviabilizar novas políticas no campo da Aids e ameaça direitos humanos e sociais adquiridos. Tais impactos devem ser analisados em estudos futuros.

Published: March 2022

Abstract This study aimed to analyze the Social Representations of adolescents on dating and dating violence from their social anchors. This is a quantitative-qualitative, descriptive-exploratory study, involving 215 adolescents from public schools located in the city of João Pessoa - Paraíba, aged between 14 and 18 (M=16.16; SD=1.26), predominantly female (60.5%). Participants answered the Free Word Association Technique (FWAT); the Conflict in Adolescent Dating Relationship Inventory (CADRI); and, a sociodemographic questionnaire. Data from the CADRI and sociodemographic characterization were submitted to descriptive analysis, while those from the FWAT to the Correspondence Factor Analysis. Results anchored social objects in the affective, behavioral, psycho-affective, psycho-organic and valorative spheres. Dating was objectified as complicity, fidelity, respect, love, commitment, deception, betrayal, kiss, and fight. While dating violence was objectified as jealousy, disrespect, sadness, quarrel, cowardice, rape, wrong, hate, death and verbal.
Adaptation of the Parentification Questionnaire for the Brazilian Context
Authors: Féres-Carneiro Terezinha , Londero-Santos Amanda , Natividade Jean Carlos
Published: March 2022

Abstract Parentification involves a role reversal phenomenon between family subsystems, including role distortions and hierarchy inversion. The purpose of this study was to adapt and search for validity evidence of the Parentification Questionnaire for the Brazilian context. After translation procedures, the authors applied the instrument in 868 adults of four geographic regions of Brazil, of which 55.4 percent were women. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed the solution of three parentification factors (i.e., emotional parenting, instrumental parenting and perceived unfairness) as adequate, with satisfactory internal consistency rates, following the construct theory. As expected, the authors also found relations with other variables; for example, people who presented parentification indicators in their speeches displayed higher levels in the three factors of the construct; while women displayed higher levels of parentification than men. The Brazilian version of the instrument showed satisfactory validity evidence and appropriate reliability indicators.

Molecular confirmation of twinning in the West Indian Manatee (Trichechus manatus)
Authors: Moreira Sávia , Meirelles Ana Carolina O. de , Carvalho Vitor Luz , Rêgo Péricles Sena do , Araripe Juliana
Published: March 2022

Abstract: Few twinning events have been recorded in the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus, Sirenia: Trichechidae) and no previous published study has provided confirmation of this phenomenon based in molecular tools. Here we investigate a possible case of twinning in an endangered Brazilian population of T. manatus using molecular tools. We analyzed two male neonates found stranded in Ceará State, on the northeastern coast of Brazil. The DNA of both individuals was isolated, and 10 microsatellite loci were amplified and genotyped. Following the identification of the alleles, the probabilities of identity by descent (∆7 and ∆8) and relatedness (rxy) were calculated using estimators that evaluate inbreeding. The two individuals shared most of the alleles, with differences in the genotypes being identified in only two loci. All the estimators identified a level of relatedness compatible with that found between siblings (selfed or outbred), indicating they were dizygotic twins. This is the first confirmed case of fraternal twins in free-ranging West Indian manatees in South America. The recognition of this type of twinning provides elements to improve actions for the rehabilitation of stranded animals and their subsequent release to the environment.
Do espírito do capitalismo ao espírito empreendedor: a consolidação das ideias acerca da prática empreendedora numa abordagem histórico-materialista
Authors: Ferraz Janaynna de Moura , Ferraz Deise Luiza da Silva
Published: March 2022

Resumo Objetiva-se perscrutar o deslocamento do espírito capitalista à ideologia do empreendedorismo mediante uma abordagem histórico-materialista, em busca de apreender a realidade com base em suas contradições ontogenéticas e em seu desenvolvimento social. Trata-se de ensaio teórico cuja análise parte da lacuna nas “abordagens críticas no empreendedorismo”, contribuindo para o aprofundamento da crítica à prática empreendedora, situando-a diante do estágio de desenvolvimento das forças produtivas em seu percurso histórico, e não apenas circunscrita ao realismo capitalista que delimita a ação humana ao agir de modo individualista, concorrencial ou liberal. Entre as conclusões, salientamos que o espírito do capitalismo corresponde ao movimento de expansão do capital, enquanto o empreendedorismo é a versão ideológica desse espírito hodiernamente, necessitando de um sistema de ideias que o coloque em movimento, dada sua efetividade como meio para subordinação e pauperização.

Forecasting electricity generation from renewable sources during a pandemic
Authors: Reichert Bianca , Souza Adriano Mendonça , Mezzomo Meiri
Published: March 2022

Abstract Renewable sources are responsible for more than half of Brazilian electric generation, which basically correspond to hydropower, biomass and wind sources. This research aimed to verify if the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) models present good performance in predicting electricity generation from biomass, hydropower and wind power for the first months of COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil. The best forecasting models adjusted for biomass, hydropower and wind generation was the SARIMA, since this model was able to identify seasonal effects of climatic instability, such as periods of drought. Based on the seasonality of the largest generating sources, renewable generation needs to be offset by other sources, as non-renewable, and more efforts are needed to make Brazilian electric matrix more sustainable.
Failure-to-service may lead industrial business to bankruptcy: drivers and ways to mitigate them
Authors: Trento Luiz Reni , Souza Michele de , Zvirtes Leandro , Pereira Giancarlo Medeiros
Published: March 2022

Abstract In recent decades, the service strategy has increased in importance both in scientific research and on the agendas of industrial organizations. Service can help such companies to diversify their offerings, avoiding commoditization as well as increasing operational results. However, failures in the service process may generate significant negative impacts on these organizations. This case study investigates the drivers that contributed to the failure in service delivery in the industrial organization. Such drivers ultimately bankrupted the profit organization. The article uses the qualitative exploratory methodology and a unique, in-depth case study. The findings reveal the following drivers: assigning the operation to inexperienced employees; lack of ability to implement organizational needs; organizational alignment; and knowledge of how to disable complex operations. Also, the study contributes to the construction of a framework to mitigate such drivers. The framework is structured in service operation, decommissioning, and implementation.

Published: March 2022

Abstract Herein we describe two new species of Diapoma, one from the Negro River, a tributary of the Uruguay River in Brazil and Uruguay, and one from the Iguaçu River, in Brazil and Argentina. The new species from the Negro River basin is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: a black narrow and conspicuous line restricted to the body horizontal septum, incomplete lateral line, tricuspid teeth in the inner series of the premaxilla, and a lower body depth at vertical through the dorsal-fin origin (29.3–32.8% SL in males and 27.7–33.3% SL in females). The new species from the Iguaçu River basin is distinguished from its congeners by the following combination of characters: a discontinuous lateral line, adipose fin hyaline, longer anal-fin base (26.5–32.4% SL), and a longitudinal black stripe along the median region of caudal-fin rays. Additionally, we updated the molecular phylogeny of the genus, including new sequences from these two new species and Diapoma thauma. An identification key for species of Diapoma is presented, modified from previous study.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to evaluate the physiological parameters, the productive characteristics, structural and chemical composition of Megathyrsus maximus (syn. Panicum maximum) cultivars BRS Massai and BRS Tamani submitted to different periods of deferment and moments of use. The experimental design was randomized complete block design in a factorial scheme 2 x 2 x 3, being two grass cultivars (Massai grass and Tamani grass), two deferment periods (rainy season and dry-rainy transition) and three sealing times (40, 80 and 120 days). Both cultivars had higher leaf transpiration rate when used for 40 days of deferment (0.63 μmol/m2/s). It was observed that the cultivar BRS Massai presented higher photosynthetic rate (P<0.05) to 40 days of deferment (1.10 μmol/m2/s), higher rate of production and forage accumulation when used for 40 days. On another side, there was a greater efficiency in the use of water during the period of transition in the pastures sealed for 80 and 120 days (64.60 and 62.30 kg DM/ha/mm, respectively). A reduction (P<0.05) of total digestible nutrients (TDN) and crude protein (CP) was observed with the increase in pasture sealing time. In general, the deferment in the transition period allows the use of forage without greater productive and nutrient losses up to 80 days of sealing for the cultivar BRS Tamani and up to 40 days for BRS Massai.
EDUCACIÓN FÍSICA, FEMINIDADES Y UNIFORMES. EL CASO DEL DEPARTAMENTO DE CULTURA FÍSICA (1929-1946) DE LA UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE LA PLATA (ARGENTINA)
Authors: Scharagrodsky Pablo Ariel , Kopelovich Pablo
Published: March 2022

Indagamos en la construcción de feminidades a partir del uso de uniformes para las clases de Educación Física. Para ello, nos basamos en el caso del Departamento de Cultura Física, institución existente entre 1929 y 1946, de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina). Nos preguntamos por cómo y por qué los uniformes de Educación Física contribuyeron a generizar y sexualizar los cuerpos de las alumnas. Construimos tres períodos a partir del establecimiento obligatorio de uniformes para mujeres para las clases de Gimnasia: 1929-1934, 1935-1939 y 1940-1946. Ese uso se debió a las decisiones tomadas por las autoridades del Colegio Secundario de Señoritas, que implicaron también distintos modos de entender y enseñar la asignatura. Desde una estrategia metodológica cualitativa, proponemos la interpretación de un caso, abordándolo desde las herramientas provenientes de la una perspectiva crítica de género y de la historia visual. Utilizamos fuentes escritas y visuales, así como entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas a exalumnas.

Consideramos que lo acontecido en términos de usos de uniformes, en relación a la construcción de feminidades, involucra dimensiones morales, estéticas, sexuales, materiales, eróticas y kinéticas. Concluimos que lo acontecido con la enseñanza de la Educación Física en el Colegio Secundario de Señoritas, en términos de transmisión de feminidades, y en lo que respecta al uso de uniformes para las clases, da cuenta de una tensión permanente en la sociedad entre igualdad y desigualdad entre las mujeres y los hombres, no tratándose en absoluto de un recorrido lineal que vaya de la desigualdad a la igualdad o a menos desigualdad.

Objetivou-se compreender os significados atribuídos ao câncer de pênis pelas travestis profissionais do sexo. Este é um estudo qualitativo e descritivo realizado em Recife, Pernambuco, no ano de 2019. A literatura da Antropologia da Saúde do campo das Ciências Sociais em Saúde se constituiu como referencial teórico. Participaram oito interlocutoras negras, onde foi utilizado um caderno de campo, formulário de caracterização sociodemográfico e roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturado na produção dos dados. Para a análise, empregou-se a codificação temática resultando em duas categorias “corporificação da ‘nova’ doença” e “é como se fosse o fim de vida e de carreira!”. Por fim, os dados localizaram os significados do câncer de pênis a partir do contexto social, histórico e das próprias experiências das travestis, onde a corporificação da ‘nova’ doença ganhou relevo à medida que se construíram metáforas para designá-la, bem como à morte social e de carreira que esta representaria em suas vidas.
Effect of thermal insulation on building energy efficiency in Turkey
Authors: Aslan Asiye
Published: March 2022

In light of the current energy problems, building envelopes must achieve thermal insulation in buildings by consuming the least amount of energy, thereby minimising energy consumption. This study determined the optimum insulation thickness of external walls, ceilings and floors of buildings as well as energy saving and payback periods in 81 city centres in Turkey. The calculations were performed for commonly used walls, ceilings and floor constructions. The life-cycle cost analysis and Turkish standard TS 825 (‘Thermal insulation requirements for buildings’) were also considered. In the calculations, the decreasing factor applied in TS 825 for surfaces that have no contact with outer air was considered. The results showed that the optimum insulation thickness of the external walls, ceilings and floors ranged between 3.5 and 20.0, 4.6 and 19.7 and 0.7 and 14 cm, respectively, depending on the type of energy and insulation material used. These findings suggest the possibility of saving up to 75% energy on the external walls, 90% on the ceilings and 85% on the floors. Additionally, a saving of 12–13% is likely obtainable in Turkey's total energy consumption when the optimum insulation thickness is applied to all residential buildings in the country.
La nueva gestión pública desde el punto de vista del enfoque institucional, como factor de fortalecimiento del derecho cooperativo
Authors: Barragán Fernández Omar
Published: March 2022

Propósito: El propósito de la ponencia es analizar el derecho cooperativo en México, considerando la Nueva Gestión Pública (NGP) de dicho país durante el periodo 2012-2018, en el cual el gobierno federal emprendió reformas estructurales dentro de su esquema de programas sociales y en el cual hubo reformas legales de relevancia que no necesariamente fueron más allá de ello. Descripción: El tema se enfoca en que, a pesar de que hubo un cambio institucional relevante en 1994 con la Ley General de Sociedades Cooperativas, lo cual planteó una NGP en ese sentido, hubo reformas en 2018 que no mostraron un avance más allá del marco legal. Puntos de vista: Desde el punto de vista de quien esto escribe, la legislación cooperativa ha mostrado avances en la formalidad, no así en la realidad operativa de México, considerando los derroteros de la NGP en ese sentido. Conclusiones: por tanto, se concluye que hay una necesidad de hacer más clara la realidad del derecho cooperativo en los esquemas sociales y solidarios desde la acción gubernamental, toda vez que existen bases institucionales al respecto.

Authors: Suárez-Mota Mario Ernesto , Hernández Ramírez José Manuel , Luna Bautista Lizbeth , Mendoza Díaz María Magdalena , Santiago-García Wenceslao , Ruiz-Aquino Faustino
Published: March 2022

Antecedentes: Los modelos de distribución potencial son utilizados para estimar y predecir cambios en la distribución de una especie en respuesta a los diferentes procesos de cambio global, conocer la extensión y distribución de la vegetación es una medida básica que permite conocer el estado ambiental de una cuenca.
Preguntas: ¿cuáles son las variables bioclimáticas que tienen mayor contribución en la distribución de especies de árboles ribereños en una cuenca? ¿Cuál es la similitud ambiental entre especies distribuidas en una cuenca?
Especies de estudio: 17 especies de árboles de ribera.
Sitio y años de estudio: Subcuenca Bajo Río Grijalva, Enero – Diciembre 2020.
Métodos: Los modelos de distribución potencial se obtuvieron para 17 especies arbóreas ribereñas utilizando 19 variables de clima y tres topográficas usando el método de Máxima Entropía. La evaluación de los modelos se hizo con los resultados del análisis del área bajo la curva (AUC).
Resultados: Los modelos tuvieron un valor de AUC > 0.8. Los resultados obtenidos muestran mapas de distribución potencial de las 17 especies, 11 de ellas se distribuyen en la zona con mayor altitud, 13 en la parte media y todas coinciden en la parte con menor altitud del área de estudio. El perfil bioclimático de las especies modeladas indica que la pendiente, orientación y la altitud fueron las variables que determinaron en mayor proporción la distribución de las especies.
Conclusiones: En la similitud de las especies con respecto a las variables ambientales destaca Haematoxylum campechianum al ser la especie con mayor diferencia ambiental.

Sexual systems of Tropical Dry Forest trees in restored habitats
Authors: Hernández-Galindo María de los Ángeles , Martínez-Garza Cristina , Rosas-Pacheco L. Fernando , Ayestarán-Hernández Luz María
Published: March 2022

Background: Obligate outcrossing species (such as dioecious species) are more vulnerable to habitat fragmentation than self-compatible hermaphrodite trees.

Questions: What is the effect of restoration intervention in the populations of dioecious, monoecious, and hermaphrodite tree species in permanent agricultural landscapes?

Study site and dates: 8-year-old restoration settings in the seasonally dry tropical forest in Sierra de Huautla Biosphere Reserve, Morelos, Mexico.

Methods: We measure richness and density of dioecious, monoecious, and hermaphrodite tree species with Diameter at Breast Height ≥ 2.5 cm in perturbed, 8-year-old restoration settings (plantings and natural succession) and conserved habitats.

Results: Overall habitats, 2,042 trees from 46 species in 18 families were identified; the highest percentage of species and trees were hermaphrodites (63 % of species and 78 % of trees), the lowest percentage of species were monoecious (9 %) and the lowest percentage of trees (10 %) were dioecious. In the plantings were registered the largest number of species (37 species) and in the conserved habitat the largest number of trees (852 trees). Density and richness of dioecious, monoecious, and hermaphrodite species did not differ by habitat, contrary to our predictions. For dioecious trees, the restored and conserved habitats showed similar composition heterogeneity. Composition of hermaphrodites in agricultural landscapes differed the most with the conserved habitat.

Conclusions: Dioecious and monoecious species are favored in agricultural landscapes due to their use value. Selection of species for restoration plantings should consider sexual systems of trees to recover not only forest structure but also ecosystem function.
Spatial phylogenetics in Hechtioideae (Bromeliaceae) reveals recent diversification and dispersal
Authors: Rivera-Martínez Ricardo , Ramírez-Morillo Ivón M. , De-Nova José Arturo , Carnevali Germán , Pinzón Juan P. , Romero-Soler Katya J. , Raigoza Néstor , Sánchez Salazar María Elena
Published: March 2022

Background: Hechtioideae is a group of Bromeliaceae that is distributed in Megamexico III. In recent years, evolutionary relationships within this lineage have been studied, however, the biogeography of these plants have not yet been explored from a phylogenetic framework. The integration of geographic and phylogenetic information in the evolutionary study of organisms has facilitated the identification of patterns, as well as the exploration of new hypotheses that allow understanding the processes that have influenced the evolutionary history of lineages.
Questions and/or Hypotheses: What is the biogeographic history of this lineage? How Hechtioideae has diversified over time?
Results: The Neotropical region has the highest species richness of Hechtioideae and the Mexican Transition Zone is the area with the greatest phylogenetic diversity. This lineage presented its highest diversification rate during the late Miocene and Pleistocene (6.5-1 Ma). The ancestral area of the group corresponds to the Neotropical region and the Mexican Transition Zone. In addition, Hechtioideae spread across their current ranges through multiple dispersal events associated with climatic and geological events during the last 10 Ma.
Conclusions: Hechtioideae is a group of recent origin whose evolutionary history has been strongly influenced by geological and climatic events over the past 10 Ma, such as the glacial and interglacial periods of the Pleistocene and the great tectonic and volcanic activity that led to the formation of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt.
Boots
Authors: Stanley Michael
Published: March 2022

"Boots" is a lyrical, narrative poem from the perspective of a Maine Coon Cat rescued one winter by a boy, Johnny, who grows up to be a young man enlisting in the service. Johnny comes back wounded in many ways, one of them being an amputee with phantom limb syndrome. Boots tries to help his owner as best he can by scratching the prosthetic leg that seems to pain Johnny so, and ponders the winters long ago when they used to play in the snow together. After our global campaign against COVID, I couldn't help but feel the poem had a renewed sense of meaning to many of the walking wounded who served their communities in the face of COVID. So it is a poem I hope in memorial to veterans of wars military and medical.
Timing of Decremental Response During Repetitive Nerve Stimulation in Myasthenia Gravis
Authors: Ortiz Guerrero Gloria , Heim Andrew , Pasnoor Mamatha , Herbelin Laura , Jawdat Omar , Glenn Melanie , Statland Jeffrey , Jabari Duaa , Farmakidis Constantine , Barohn Richard
Published: March 2022

Background: A decrement >10% detected during repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) is supportive of considering a diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG). Several studies have found that most of this decrement is seen between 4 to 6 min post-exercise. However, there are not available studies analyzing if shorter timing would be sufficient.  

Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate if RNS up to 2 min post-exercise is sufficient to detect a decrement response >10%.

Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review study of patients referred to our neuromuscular clinic at The University of Kansas Medical Center with symptoms suggestive of MG from 2013 to 2017.

Results: A total of 76 patients with MG and 100 controls were identified.  A significant decrement was detected in 95% of MG patients with abnormal RNS within 2 minutes post-exercise.

Conclusion: RNS up to 2 min post-exercise might be sufficient to detect a significant decrement in MG patients.
Asymmetrical Onset of Leg Amyotrophic Diplegia (LAD): A Case Report
Authors: Khodabandehlou Ramin
Published: March 2022

Progressive muscular atrophy (PMA) comprises approximately 10% of patients with motor neuron disease (MND). Some of the patients presenting initially as PMA will develop when followed over time upper motor neuron findings leading to the diagnosis of ALS. True PMA cases represent a pure lower motor neuron presentation of sporadic motor neuron disease and are in a spectrum with ALS and PLS. While PMA typically affects both the arms and legs, some patients have predominantly upper extremity involvement and others may have selective leg weakness referred to respectively as brachial amyotrophic diplegia (BAD) 1,2 and leg amyotrophic diplegia (LAD).3 These cases of progressive muscle atrophy remain restricted to a body region for extended periods. These are considered slow regional variants of motor neuron disease. LAD is a leg onset variant of progressive muscular atrophy (PMA). LAD weakness is confined to the legs for at least 2 years, and there are no upper motor neuron signs.4A LMN syndrome confined to legs LAD was first described by Pierre Marie and his student Patrikios in 1918 and was known as the pseudopolyneuritic variant of ALS, the Marie-Patrikios form, or the peroneal form of ALS.Here is another case of LAD for the neuromuscular literature.

Abstract:

Background:

Empathy is an essential ingredient of patient-centered care. Traditional neurology clerkship does not provide a structured way to teach, evaluate and inculcate the virtue of empathy among our medical students while dealing with various complex neurological conditions. We designed an innovative Objective Structured Clinical Evaluations (O.S.C.E.s) entitled as Empathetic Neurological Care (ENC) O.S.C.E.s as a part of clerkship evaluation to assess empathy among American Medical Graduates (A.M.G.s) and International Medical Graduates (I.M.G.s). We aim to illustrate the model of Empathetic Neurological Care (ENC) O.S.C.E. & to report the comparative analysis of empathy scores among the A.M.G.s and I.M.G.s.

Methods:

This is a pilot study comparing empathy among A.M.G.s and I.M.G.s, measured by the Standardized Patients (SPs) using the Jefferson Scale of Patient Perceptions of Physician Empathy (5-Point Likert Type Scale) during pre-designed ENC-OSCEs. The proposed curriculum included complex neurological cases involving breaking bad news (e.g., delivering the diagnosis of A.L.S.), opioid addiction counseling, disclosing medical error (stroke), and explaining the diagnosis of non-epileptic seizures.

Conclusion: A.M.G.s scored higher empathy as compared to I.M.G.s by the S.P.s during ENC-OSCEs. We highlight the importance of focused empathy training with assessment during neurology clerkship rotations for A.M.G.s & the need of formal curricular training as a part of the orientation program at the beginning of residency training for I.M.G.s.
Guillain-Barre Syndrome Secondary to COVID-19: A case report and short review of other published cases
Authors: Kumar Mukaish , Banik Biswajit , Govindarajan Raghav
Published: March 2022

Background:

COVID-19 related Guillain-Barré syndrome has a broad spectrum of presentation. In most reported cases, respiratory symptoms preceded by neurological deficits by one to two weeks, suggesting that the clinical course is mostly post-infectious. In this case report, we present a para-infectious case of GBS with COVID-19.

Case presentation:

A 37-year-old male patient presented with fever, chills, myalgia, cough, and anosmia. COVID-19 test came positive. He was managed conservatively. On the 7th day of follow-up, he recovered except for a persistent loss of smell and taste. Two weeks after his initial presentation, he reported low back pain and bilateral lower extremity weakness and had a repeat COVID-19 test, which returned positive. His history, physical exam, CSF analysis, nerve conduction, and electromyography test revealed Guillain-Barre Syndrome. We managed GBS with supportive treatment in the hospital, and on follow-up of three months, he recovered fully.

Conclusion:

In our case, we report a para-infectious case of GBS with C0VID-19, and we managed this case without intravenous immunoglobulin or plasmapheresis. The decision to treat a COVID-19 related GBS case with a traditional GBS treatment option (intravenous immunoglobulin or plasmapheresis) should be taken in conjunction with co-morbidities and a tailored case of case basis.

Chromophobe renal cell carcinoma (CHRCC) is known for morphologic variability. Besides classic morphology, several other patterns like pigmented adenomatoid, multicystic, even papillary were documented.
10 cases of CHRCC composed of small cell population in various percentages that were analysed using morphologic parameters, immunohistochemistry and next generation sequencing.
Patients were 5 males and 5 females with 40-78 age range. Size of tumors ranged from 2.2 cm to 11 cm (mean 5.17 cm).
Small cell component comprised 10-80% of total tumor volume, the rest was formed by cells with classic morphology. Immunohistochemical profile followed typical CHRCC immunophenotype with positivity for CD117, CK7 among others. Neuroendocrine markers were negative. Mutations of 13 genes were found: DCIER1, FGFR3, JAK3, SUFO, FAM46C, FANCG, MET, PLCG2, APC, POLE, EPICAM, MUTYH, AR. However, only mutation of PLCG2 is listed as pathogenic.
Recognition of small cell variant of CHRCC is not problematic in tumors, where “classic” CHRCC component is present. In limited material, like core biopsy, recognising this pattern could be troublesome.  Very problematic might be in limited material like core biopsy. From our limited data it seems, that small cell morphology has no influence on prognosis.
YENİSEY KIRGIZLARI ÜZERİNE TÜRKİYE’DE YAPILAN ARAŞTIRMALAR
Authors: DERVİŞ Leyla
Published: March 2022

Çalışmanın ana amacı, Yenisey Kırgızların tarihi üzerine bugüne kadar yapılmış olan çalışmaların listesini oluşturarak araştırmacıların bunlardan yararlanmalarını sağlamaktır. Zira Türkiye’de Kırgız tarihi hakkında bazı bibliyografya denemeleri olmasına karşılık, Yenisey Kırgızları hakkında böyle bir müstakil çalışma şimdiye kadar yapılmış değildir. Karışıklığa mahal vermemek adına yakın dönem Hakasya ve Güney Sibirya tarihini ilgilendiren araştırmalar bu çalışmanın ilgi alanı dışında tutulmuştur.En eski Türk kavimlerinden biri olan Yenisey Kırgızları tarihinin günümüze kadar yeterince ve her yönüyle araştırıldığı ileri sürülemez. Yapılan çalışmalar çok orijinal bilgiler içermesine karşılık sayıca son derece sınırlı durumdadır. Bu nedenle Türk tarihinde önemli bir yere sahip olan Yenisey Kırgızları hakkında yeni araştırmalar yapılmasını teşvik etmek ve konuyla ilgili çalışacak olan araştırmacılara bir nebze de olsa ışık tutmak amacıyla Türkiye’de yayımlanmış olan araştırmaların değerlendirmesi yapılmış ve bibliyografik listesi çıkartılmıştır. Konu ile ilgili materyal toplama çalışmalarını sürdürürken Türkiye’de bu Türk topluluğu hakkında derli toplu bir bibliyografik çalışmanın olmadığını fark ettik. Sayıları az da olsa özellikle son yıllarda Yenisey Kırgızları tarihi hakkında Türkiye’de önemli bilimsel araştırmalar yayınlandığı halde derli toplu bibliyografik bir çalışmanın yapılmamış olması bir eksiklik olarak öne çıkmaktaydı. Bu çalışma, şimdiye kadar yapılan konuya ilişkin mevcut araştırmalar ile ilgili genel bir değerlendirmeyi ve yayınlanmış tüm eserlerin listesini içermektedir. Böylece konuya ilgi duyan araştırmacıların topluca bir araya getirilen yayınlara kolayca ulaşmalarını sağlamak mümkün olacaktır. Çalışmanın amaçlarından bir diğeri de Yenisey Kırgızları tarihi üzerine daha çok araştırılan ve yahut eksik kalan konuları tespit etmek olmuştur. Mesela Yenisey Kırgız Kağanlığı ve bıraktığı izlerin farklı yönlerinin derinlemesine araştırılmasında fayda olduğu ve Yenisey Kırgızlarının Batı Türklüğü ile ilişkilerine dair karşılaştırmalı çalışmaların da yapılması gerektiği hususu ortaya çıkarılmıştır. Araştırmamız sırasında gösterdiğimiz özen ve dikkate rağmen yine de Yenisey Kırgızları tarihi ile ilgili Türkiye’de yayımlanmış bazı araştırmaların gözümüzden kaçmış olabileceğini ifade etmek isteriz.
İÇ GÜVENLİK BAĞLAMINDA I. DÖNEM TBMM’DE DÂHİLİYE VEKÂLETİ VE BAĞLI KURULUŞLAR BÜTÇE GÖRÜŞMELERİ

Osmanlı Devleti’nin I. Dünya Savaşına dâhil olması ve Mondros Mütarekesi sonrası yaşanan gelişmeler, Milli Mücadelenin başlamasında en önemli etken olmuştur. Bu süreçte Türk ordusu ve halkı topyekûn bir mücadele içerisine girmiş ve vatan savunması temelinde bir mücadele başlamıştır. Milli Mücadele döneminde, iç ve dış güvenlik ayrımı ortadan kalkarak vatanın kurtuluşuna yönelik tek bir güvenlik stratejisi söz konusu olmuştur. Bu strateji doğrultusunda Mustafa Kemal Paşa öncülüğünde verilen İstiklal mücadelesi neticesinde emperyalist güçler hezimete uğratılarak vatan topraklarından çıkarılmışlardır. Ancak bu süreçte ülkede eşkıyalık, asayişsizlik ve isyanlar patlak vermiş ve bu durum halk üzerinde tedirginlik ve kaygıya yol açmıştır. Bu kaygının ortadan kaldırılması amacıyla Dâhiliye Vekâleti ve bağlı kuruluşlar önemli bir misyon üstlenmişlerdir. Zira dış güvenliğin sağlanmasının en önemli şartları arasında güçlü bir iç güvenliğin tesisi hayati öneme sahiptir. Bu öneme binaen Dahiliye Vekaleti ve bağlı kuruluşları önemli bir mücadele içerisine girmişleridir. Verilen bu mücadele sürecinde yaşanan aksaklıklar TBMM’de yankı bulmuş ve bu konuda zaman zaman tartışmalar yaşanmıştır. Bu çalışmada, 1921 Türkiye’sinde güvenlik teşkilatlarındaki yapısal bozukluklar, dönemin iç güvenlik anlayışı ve iç güvenlik teşkilatları Meclis zabıtları merkezli incelenerek sağlıklı bir değerlendirmeye varılması amaçlanmıştır. Türkiye’de 1921 yılında iç güvenlik teşkilatları ve iç güvenlik meselesi ile ilgili çok önemli bilgiler veren Dâhiliye Vekâleti ile bağlı kuruluşlar bütçe görüşmelerinin ayrıntılı analizi bu çalışmanın ana eksenini oluşturmaktadır.
ANADOLU’NUN FETHİ DÖNEMİNDE ŞEBİNKARAHİSAR KALESİ (1018-1081)
Authors: SARIYILDIZ Bekir
Published: March 2022

1018 yılında Çağrı Bey’in doğu seferi ile başlayan Anadolu’nun fethi, Bizans’ın Türkiye Selçukluları’nı resmi olarak tanıdığı 1081 yılına kadar geçen süreyi kapsamaktadır. Sürecin başından itibaren batıya ilerleyen Selçuklu ordularının önemli duraklarından biri de Şebinkarahisar Kalesi’dir. Şebinkarahisar, Anadolu’nun kuzeyine ve Karadeniz sahillerine açılan önemli bir kavşağın kontrolünü sağlayacak bir mevkidedir. Bu özelliğiyle Anadolu’daki doğu-batı mücadelesinde önemli bir sahne olmasının yanı sıra Bizans İmparatorluğu’nun doğudaki düşmanlarıyla mücadele etmek için kurduğu savunma hattının da stratejik bir üyesidir. Selçuklulardan önce pek çok defa Abbâsîlerin saldırısına maruz kalan Şebinkarahisar, imparatorluğun başkentine giden bir güzergâhı kontrol altında tutması nedeniyle tahkim edilerek güçlü tutulmuştur. Selçukluların Anadolu’ya yaptıkları ilk seferden itibaren yaklaşık altmış üç yıl boyunca devam eden ilerlemeler sonucunda pek çok kale ve kent kuşatılmış, ele geçirilmiş ve yerleşime açılarak Türk yurdu haline getirilmiştir. Bu kentlerden biri olan Şebinkarahisar ve kalesi de, Anadolu’nun fethi süreci içerisinde önemli siyasi olaylara şahit olmuştur. Nitekim Bizans savunmasının kırılarak Selçukluların Anadolu’da fethettiği ilk yerlerden, Doğu Karadeniz’de ise fethedilen ilk yer olan Şebinkarahisar Kalesi’ndeki Bizans-Selçuklu çatışmaları bir süre daha devam etmiştir.
Bu makalede Şebinkarahisar Kalesi’nin, Bizans’ın Anadolu’yu savunmasındaki rolü ve Selçukluların bölgeye geldiklerinde karşılaştıkları durum ile Selçuklu-Bizans mücadelesinde pek çok önemli olayın yaşandığı bölge hakkındaki genel, eksik ve karışık bilgiler, detaylandırılarak düzenlenmeye çalışılmıştır.
