Authors: Almeida Amanda Larissa de , Miskulin Rosana Giaretta Sguerra
Published: September 2019

Por meio do presente artigo, discute-se aspectos matemáticos, didáticos e pedagógicos das disciplinas de conteúdo matemático do curso de Licenciatura em Matemática, a partir de um recorte de uma pesquisa de Mestrado, a qual constituiu-se como um estudo de 26 teses e dissertações, com objetivo de analisar e evidenciar articulações entre os seus resultados e o campo de formação de professores. Tais teses e dissertações foram mapeadas em dois momentos distintos: aquelas produzidas entre os anos de 2001 e 2012 foram mapeadas a partir do corpus de pesquisa do projeto universal “Mapeamento e estado da arte da pesquisa brasileira sobre o professor que ensina Matemática”, e teses e dissertações produzidas entre 2013 e 2017 mapeadas no Catálogo da CAPES. Para analisar os resultados dessas pesquisas utilizamos alguns conceitos da Análise de Conteúdo e nos baseamos em referenciais teóricos sobre formação inicial de professores de Matemática e formação matemática do professor. Nesse contexto, apresentamos a discussão de uma categoria, a qual evidencia a possibilidade de articulação entre as disciplinas de conteúdo matemático e a prática do futuro professor. por meio de metodologias como o Trabalho com Projetos, Modelagem Matemática e uso de Softwares. Tais abordagens constituem-se como um caminho para o desenvolvimento dessas disciplinas na licenciatura, uma vez que propiciam a exploração, investigação, visualização e aplicações dos conceitos, além de discussões sobre o ensino da Matemática na Educação Básica.
“Ele mudou a maneira como eu enxergava a Matemática!”: a entrevista como um caminho para a prática pedagógica
Authors: Oliveira Cristiane Coppe de , Silva Flávia de Fatima Santos
Published: September 2019

O presente artigo compõe-se acerca da elaboração do Caderno Dirigido, inspirado pela obra Didática da Matemática de Júlio César de Mello e Souza, o Malba Tahan (1895 - 1974). Em tal proposta, de abordagem qualitativa, utiliza-se como recurso metodológico para a prática docente no Ensino Fundamental, o instrumento entrevista, realizada com o educador matemático e ex-aluno de Malba Tahan, Sergio Lorenzato. Após a análise da entrevista, buscou-se estabelecer um diálogo passado-presente entre o discurso de Malba Tahan e as falas do depoente quando foi seu aluno. O tema centrou-se no conhecimento do Caderno Dirigido e tal movimento possibilita a reflexão de que a História da Educação Matemática pode contribuir para criar cenários de investigação para a prática em sala de aula.
Uma reflexão sobre resolução de problemas na formação de professores que ensinam Matemática
Authors: Marcatto Flávia Sueli Fabiani
Published: September 2019

Este artigo tem como objetivo a construção de uma perspectiva diferenciada sobre o ensino de Matemática por meio da resolução de problemas para professores e futuros professores. O estudo segue uma metodologia de investigação de natureza qualitativa e interpretativa. No desenvolvimento das ações, foram incentivados registros escritos em portfólios com ênfase no processo de resolução de problemas. Dois problemas foram selecionados para intervenções em turmas da Educação Básica. O processo estimulou-os a questionar suas próprias respostas, explorar ideias matemáticas, questionar o problema e seus modos de encontrar a solução, fazer generalizações e transformar um dado problema em novas situações-problema, adaptando-as para suas aulas. Isto evidencia uma concepção de ensino-aprendizagem obtida por via de ação reflexiva e compartilhada que constrói conhecimentos, aprimorando a formação inicial e continuada de professores de Matemática.

Comparisons of regularization methods and regularization parameter selection methods in sound source identification using inverse boundary element method
Authors: Xiao Youhong , Song Qingqing , Li Shaowei , Lv Guoxue , Ji Zhenlin
Published: September 2019

In noise source identification based on the inverse boundary element method (IBEM), the boundary vibration velocity is predicted based on the field pressure through a transfer matrix of the vibration velocity and field pressure established on the Helmholtz integral equation. Because
the matrix is often ill-posed, it needs to be regularized before reconstructing the vibration velocity. Two regularization methods and two methods of selecting the regularization parameter are investigated through the simulation analysis of a pulsating sphere. The result of transfer matrix
regularization is further verified through the reconstruction of the vibration of an aluminum plate. Additionally, to reduce the large errors at some frequencies in the reconstruction result, increasing the number of measuring points is more effective than reducing the distance between the
measurement plane and the sound source.
Property of the tuned rail damper and effects on rolling noise reduction
Authors: Wu Tianxiang , Liu Yang , Gao Zhisheng , Zeng Xiangrong
Published: September 2019

A railway track model with the tuned rail damper (TRD) is developed to simulate the system's dynamic response. Two criteria are proposed to estimate the inherent performance and practical effects of the TRD on railway rolling noise. Analysis and simulation results demonstrate that the
inherent property of the TRD does not change, but its practical effects may vary with environmental conditions. The theoretical predictions are validated by in-situ measurements. The proposed methodology, which combines the simulation results with the measurement data, is straightforward and
easy to use for estimation of the practical effects on rolling noise reduction of the TRD to be used.

Authors: Thangalakshmi T , Suthacini V
Published: September 2019

Food security in India is unfavourably affected by several biotic and socio-political situations. The current position may get worse in the future if timely and suitable actions are not executed and planned. The discipline of human population and land for cultivation, climate change, government policies of public distribution and marketing of food grains and lack of a participatory approach all are committing to check down the availability of foods. Also, crop fecundity seems to be very much unsustainable. The situation has to be remedied by all possible means and citizens must be assured of food security. This review summarises several strategies for crop production and food distribution through the public distribution system. Finally, results indicate that India has achieved self-sufficiency in grains; it is still lagging at the back in the production of oilseeds and pulses. It is also commented that there has been a meaningful increase in the reproduction of rice, wheat, cereals, fruits, vegetables, and other products. Among the specific charges made to lift the agricultural sector from its present slowdown and stagnation, we comprise decorated increased public investment and a severe review of subsidies provided to farmers. To improve the infrastructure, credit facilities, inputs, land and water management, effective marketing and price policies, the diversification of agriculture, strengthening the improvement strategies for tackling climate change, and the strict regulation of land use and diversion of land for non-agricultural activities.

The Cauvery delta is the most productive food bowls in India and which cultivates more than 70 percent of paddy in Tamil Nadu. However, the situation of farmers suicides is alarming and leading to farm suicides manifested from the fragile situation during 2017, since farmer suicides are rare in this region. In this context, this study is taken-up and used descriptive research design with both primary and secondary data source. Empirical data have been collected from the 21 victim farmers’ households of three Cauvery districts of Thanjavur, Thiruvarur, and Nagapattinam. The empirical research found several causes: the scarcity of water and drought are the major causes of the present agrarian crisis. It is reported that every victim farmers of the study area borrowed for crop cultivation and unable to repay the borrowings on time due to crop failure. The victim farmers are disappointed by the crop failure, agriculture policies, and schemes are failed to compensate for their needs. Thus, safety net measures like crop insurance and allowances may be provided as immediate relief from debts. Intensive counseling at the household level is another intervention, which may reduce the suicides immediately. Local educational institutions and their community service wings may be utilized for educating and counseling the distress farmers.

Authors: Eliphase Ndayikengurukiye
Published: September 2019

This paper discusses the concept of fantasy. There is much in the word of fiction today so that the number of writers on imagination is increasing. After people have come to realize that romance is serving as much as a sea in the intellectual development of children, most of them have started to encourage their children to like more reading fantasy books. Some parents have even made it a great deal by deciding to build a small home library of fantasy books for children.The paper’s purpose is to discuss the role of fantasy literature in children’s intellectual development by including different forms of fantasy and its various advantages. The latter include creativity, entertainment, imagination and language skills improvement, the schematic knowledge, enjoyment, strategies applied for problem-solving, knowing the do’s and don’ts of the society, etc. Some Critics have made assertions on children’s ways of learning. This paper incorporates some of the claims and discusses them with some excerpts of illustrative stories related to fantasy.Enhanced by the fact that fantasy is the roadmap to the child thinking ability development, the paper will finally show why parents should motivate their children to get interested in fiction, which has a lot to do with children’s learning process.
Sex, Desire and Subjectivity in Paulo Coelho’s Eleven Minutes
Authors: Chand Gian , Chandel N S
Published: September 2019

‘Desire’ is a sense of longing or hoping for a person, object, or outcome. The same thought is expressed by emotions such as ‘craving.’ When a person desires something or someone, his sense of longing is excited by the enjoyment or the thought of the item or person. He wants to take actions to obtain his or her goal. ‘Subjectivity’ on the other hand is a philosophical concept related to consciousness, personhood, reality and truth. It applies to an individual who possesses conscious experiences, such as perspective, feelings, beliefs and desires. This study is aimed to present sex, desire, and subjectivity of the protagonist Maria in Paulo Coelho’s novel Eleven Minutes. Maria is born in a humble family in a small village of Brazil and dreams of an adventurous life but ends up as a prostitute. It is only after meeting with Ralf Hart, a painter that she understands the meaning of love, beauty, sex and life. She falls in love with him and realizes that he is the person who sees her inner light and wants not her body but her company.

An Exploration of Classroom Practices in Secondary Schools
Authors: Choudhury Mehnaz Tazeen
Published: September 2019

This study was undertaken in the secondary schools of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Students from Bengali medium schools of Bangladesh do not achieve even a minimal amount of proficiency in English even after completing high school. Moreover, they are seen to remain teacher dependent even at tertiary level. Learner autonomy is seen as a crucial need of the time in the context of Bangladesh. Either classroom practices or teacher beliefs, or both are responsible for this state of affairs. Therefore, it became imperative to research to find out the classroom practices of English language teachers and see whether they were autonomy supportive. This was exploratory qualitative research, and the participants were class VII English language teachers from five government and non-government Bengali medium schools. Classroom observations and semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data. Findings of this study have implications for teacher training programs and how they need to be redesigned to bring about a change in teacher beliefs and approaches.
Construction of Home, Nation and Identity in Rohinton Mistry’s Tales from Firozsha Baag
Authors: Shahid Abdullah Md Abu
Published: September 2019

Rohinton Mistry is one of the central figures of the Indian diaspora involved in the task of constructing alternative narratives of national identity. His texts articulate a new conception of the nation by problematising the stable and unitary configurations of national-cultural identity. Mistry’s experience and awareness of the complex tensions of his cultural and geographical location in the diaspora are evident in Tales from Firozsha Baag. Mistry implies that because the Parsi culture is constituted by heteroglossia, there is no such thing as a ‘purely’ Parsi identity. In destabilising notions of a self-enclosed Parsi identity, he goes for inserting the ‘other’ into his Parsi narratives: for instance, Gajra, the Marathi maid, in “Auspicious Occasion”; Francis, the Christian man who does odd-jobs, in “One Sunday”; and Jaakaylee, the Catholic Goan ayah, in “The Ghost of Firozsha Baag”. “Swimming Lessons” is the only story set entirely outside the Parsi area of the Baag and in fact outside India. We move from a closed and homogenous cultural system to finally a transgressive ground where the borders between cultures are so fluid that there can no longer be any stable conception of national essences.
PORTO VELHO: A CIDADE DO SOL E SEU MULTICULTURALISMO
Authors: Vieira Maria Vitória Loureiro do Nascimento , Dos Reis Klivy Ferreira
Published: September 2019

Uma das causas da migração libanesa era que seu território passara por uma fase política crítica de guerrilha. Para alguns migrar ou viajar era a melhor alternativa. A acolhida desse povo em alguns países não foi bem quista. O Brasil seria uma boa escolha, este não impunha barreiras por causa da necessidade de trabalhadores estrangeiros para o campo. Aqui chegaram e fizeram amizades sólidas, por isso que de uma maneira carinhosa chamam-nos de primos. Diferentes dos imigrantes europeus, os libaneses não procuravam trabalhar na terra, mas encontraram nas cidades condições para sua expansão comercial. Porto Velho era território do Guaporé (entre os anos 50 e 60), cidade nova em construção, um lugar que proporcionava novas oportunidades e conquistas, uma fusão apropriada: uma terra em crescimento e um povo em reconstrução. A atividade comercial trouxe uma grande relevância para o aprendizado da língua dos falantes árabes e os da “terra”, pois exigia um contato direto e diário com sujeitos de diferentes grupos sociais, levando à quebra de preconceitos linguísticos e culturais. O que era para ser temporário tornou-se permanente, os que pretendiam “voltar pra casa” providenciaram trazer sua família, fortalecendo mais ainda seus negócios. As mulheres teriam como função preparar suas iguarias saborosas. Alguns dos hábitos alimentares e temperos se solidificaram, sendo consumidos com prazer e ganhando espaço e prestígio na “cidade do sol”. É nesse universo que este objetiva analisar o Multiculturalismo e o Interculturalismo, como fatores que contribuíram para caracterização social de ambas as nacionalidades. O referido trabalho é de cunho bibliográfico, com subsídio teórico de autores como Vera Maria Candau (2008), Néstor Garcia Canclini (2008) e Peter McLaren (1997) que trazem um enfoque: aceitar as ideias multiculturais não é desconhecer as distinções existentes, mas é defender um espaço, uma estratégia, um tempo, uma história e sua identidade. Portanto, tais aspectos são propícios à sociedade inclusiva, democrática e facilitadora na promoção para transformação socioculturais e institucionais. Tais aspectos contribuíram para a permanência da comunidade libanesa no município de Porto Velho, bem como a troca de valores e intercâmbio de tradições e satisfação de necessidades individuais e coletivas.
A ESCOLA NA ROTA DE MIGRAÇÃO: RELATO DE EXPERIÊNCIA, DESEJOS E DESAFIOS
Authors: Pereira Rosa Martins Costa , Silva Ednalva Oliveira , Peters Maria José Ambrósio dos Reis
Published: September 2019

Este estudo é um relato de experiência do processo inicial de acolhida de estudantes imigrantes em uma escola pública do município de Porto Velho – RO. O objetivo é apresentar os desafios enfrentados pela equipe escolar para inserir os estudantes no sistema de ensino brasileiro. Para tanto, descreve-se aqui a experiência das autoras que são coordenadora pedagógica, professora e pesquisadora da temática. A delimitação espaçotemporal deste relato se insere no ano de 2012, ano em que muitos pais de crianças haitianas procuraram a escola para matricular seus filhos. Eles informavam que já haviam peregrinado em várias escolas e todas alegavam não dispor de vagas tão logo os funcionários percebiam a falta da documentação necessária para a matrícula ou mesmo a ausência de qualquer documento. A partir desse momento, iniciou-se um processo que denominamos de “desejos e desafios”. Desejos de alguns profissionais envolvidos em garantir o direito à educação das crianças e os desafios impostos pela burocracia, desconhecimento, falta de orientação e aporte pedagógico para as escolas e, muitas vezes, preconceito e ausência de interesse em conhecer e acolher os imigrantes. A matrícula é apenas o primeiro desafio. Outros dilemas complexos são demandados pelo contexto escolar, como as avaliações classificatórias, reclassificatória, lacuna, a operacionalização de testes de localização, a aceitação dos professores e dos demais estudantes, as estratégicas didáticas de alfabetização em Língua Portuguesa, entre outros. Observa-se que a escola é rota da migração para assegurar direitos humanos. Por este motivo, torna-se tão urgente quanto fundamental que os educadores se envolvam efetivamente nesse debate com proposições de caminhos para que os desejos vençam os desafios.
A FORMAÇÃO EDUCATIVA DE TRÂNSITO NA REGIÃO RURAL DE RONDÔNIA NA CONTRAMÃO DAS POLÍTICAS DE TRÂNSITO SEGURO
Authors: Amaro Mírian Cruz , Ferreira Telma Ferreira da Silva
Published: September 2019

Situações diversas na circulação viária na Zona Rural do Estado de Rondônia, especificadamente na região de Mirante da Serra, acendem o farol de alerta para as questões de mobilidade. O acentuado tráfego, produzido por produtores e trabalhadores rurais naquelas regiões, quase sempre deixam de ser alcançados por ações vinculadas as políticas de educação para o trânsito no Estado. Assim, este estudo busca compreender a realidade vivenciada pelos condutores de veículos em estradas rurais e que interfere diretamente nas questões de mobilidade e segurança no trânsito para essas populações tradicionais, tendo como eixo delimitador a falta de políticas de educação de trânsito voltada para tais populações. Entre os autores que fundamentaram este estudo estão: Rozestraten (1998), as Resoluções do Conselho Nacional de Trânsito, Freire (1998) Tuan (1980), Zabala (1998) e por fim o próprio Código de Trânsito Brasileiro, Lei n.º 9503 de 1997, que estabelece o direito a formação educativa de trânsito. Utilizou-se como método de estudo o fenomenológico de abordagem qualitativa para compreensão da realidade vivida pelos sujeitos. Entre os resultados alcançados está a inércia dos órgãos integrantes do sistema de trânsito do Estado para assegurar as populações pesquisadas o direito ao trânsito em condições seguras, em face a ausência de uma ação efetiva de formação e educação para o trânsito na zona rural do Estado.
ARTE DE PARTEJAR: APRENDIZADOS E ENSINAMENTOS DE MULHERES PARTEIRAS DE COMUNIDADES REMANESCENTES DE QUILOMBOS DO VALE DO GUAPORÉ – RO
Authors: Santiago Joely Coelho
Published: September 2019

Esta pesquisa apresenta resultados de uma investigação feita com mulheres de comunidades remanescentes de quilombos do Vale do Guaporé – RO.O objetivo foi analisar as experiências das mulheres parteiras afro-guaporenses a partir dos anos 1940, época em que a medicina oficial ainda não havia alcançado a região. O estudo foi realizado por intermédio de entrevistas e conversas formais e informais com mulheres nascidas e criadas na região guaporense, com idade entre 74 e 82 anos de idade, por meio do qual foi possível estabelecer diálogos com bases nas teorias de Michelle Perrot (2017), Schumaher & Brazil (2007), Gilberto Freyre (2006) e Maria Odaléa Bruggemann (2001). Acerca da compreensão da história regional, os estudos de Flávio Gomes (2015) e Marco Teixeira & Dante Fonseca (2001). Por meio de narrativas orais de vida de mulheres remanescentes de quilombos identificamos as práticas e os cuidados das mulheres parteiras, que, na arte de partejar apararam e salvaram vidas, além de cuidar das mulheres parturientes e dos recém-nascidos no período de resguardo, bem como, seus conhecimentos ancestrais em ervas medicinais usadas no trabalho de partejar, que, nesse contexto, se tornam relevantes para a preservação das práticas culturais das mulheres de comunidades remanescentes de quilombos no Vale do Guaporé. Desta forma, espera-se contribuir para o reconhecimento e a valorização da memória das mulheres parteiras remanescentes de quilombos, visto que as mulheres negras, camada social mais invisível da sociedade, contribuíram/contribuem de forma relevante não só nas suas comunidades remanescentes de quilombos, como também em outras localidades da região do Vale do Guaporé – comunidades indígenas, bolivianas e ribeirinhas – contudo, suas práticas foram silenciadas pela história.
REVISITANDO A HISTÓRIA DA LÍNGUA NACIONAL PARA COMPREENSÃO DA FORMAÇÃO DA LÍNGUA PADRÃO E DAS RELAÇÕES DE PODER E DOMINAÇÃO

Published: September 2019

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo levantar discussões sobre como a língua oficial se constituiu no Brasil e vem sendo imposta em detrimento de outras línguas e das variações por classe social, região geográfica e de demais elementos diferenciadores. O debate se dá a partir do questionamento feito por Bortoni-Ricardo (2014, p. 69): “Como se constitui uma variedade padronizada, detentora de prestígio, e como ela se coloca no repertório de uma comunidade, em relação às demais variedades de pouco ou nenhum prestígio?”. É sabido que embora a sociolinguística venha tentando eliminar preconceitos ao postular que todas as línguas e variedades são igualmente complexas, reconhecendo a heterogeneidade e o caráter multifacetado como propriedade inerente a todo sistema linguístico e a competência linguística dos falantes como atributo que os leva a selecionar formas alternativas disponíveis no sistema; na escola o ensino da Língua Portuguesa ainda tem se pautado em uma tradição pedagógica que estabelece apenas uma variante como padrão a ser obedecido. Estas situações a nosso ver colaboram para reafirmação do poder de uma classe econômica sobre a outra. Após revisão bibliográfica embasada em Antunes (2007; 2009), Bortoni-Ricardo (2014a; 2014b), Faraco (2009), Calvet (2002), Gnerre (1985), utilizou-se como metodologia a Análise de Discurso de linha pecheutiana, chegando-se a conclusão de que existe uma imposição social de uma língua considerada melhor comparativamente em relação às demais. Havendo assim uma necessidade de repensar as práticas sociais em relação às línguas adotadas pelos diversos falantes em solo nacional.

Malignancies in Patients with Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody-associated Vasculitis: A Population-based Cohort Study
Authors: Heijl Caroline , Westman Kerstin , Höglund Peter , Mohammad Aladdin J.
Published: September 2019

Objective.

Patients with ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAV) exhibit higher rates of malignancy than the general population. We assessed whether the cancer risk is increased in a well-characterized population-based cohort of AAV in southern Sweden, followed for a median time of 8 years.

Methods.

With case record review, the outcomes and malignancy development in a cohort of 195 patients with AAV [granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis, and eosinophilic GPA] diagnosed between 1997 and 2010 were assessed. The patients were followed until death or December 31, 2015. The age- and sex-standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were estimated using the Swedish population data as a reference.

Results.

During the observation period of about 1500 person-years, we found 60 cancers in 52 of the 195 patients. SIR (95% CI) was 2.8 (2.1–3.6) for cancers at all sites, 1.8 (1.3–2.5) for all cancers excluding squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), 12.9 (8.4–18.8) for SCC, 4.3 (1.4–10.0) for bladder cancer, and 7.0 (1.4–20.5) for pancreatic cancer. Cumulative doses of cyclophosphamide (CYC) < 10 g were not associated with higher incidence of cancers other than SCC (SIR 1.63, 95% CI 0.8–2.9).

Conclusion.

In contrast to previous publications assessing malignancy risk in patients with AAV, we show in this population-based cohort of patients a persistent increased risk for overall malignancy, bladder cancer, and pancreatic cancer as well as a markedly increased risk for SCC. There was no increase in incidence of cancers other than SCC for those treated with < 10 g CYC.

Objective.

We evaluated potential circulating biomarkers of disease activity in giant cell arteritis (GCA), Takayasu arteritis (TA), polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA).

Methods.

A panel of 22 serum proteins was tested in patients enrolled in the Vasculitis Clinical Research Consortium Longitudinal Studies of GCA, TA, PAN, or EGPA. Mixed models were used for most analyses. A J48 classification tree method was used to find the most relevant markers to differentiate between active and inactive GCA.

Results.

Tests were done on 418 samples from 152 patients (60 GCA, 29 TA, 26 PAN, 37 EGPA), during both active vasculitis and remission. In GCA, these showed significant (p < 0.05) differences between disease states: B cell–attracting chemokine 1 (BCA)-1/CXC motif ligand 13 (CXCL13), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), interferon-γ—induced protein 10/CXC motif chemokine 10, soluble interleukin 2 receptor α (sIL-2Rα), and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1). In EGPA, these showed significant increases during active disease: granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage—CSF, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-15, and sIL-2Rα. BCA-1/CXCL13 also showed such increases, but only after adjustment for treatment. In PAN, ESR and matrix metalloprotease (MMP)-3 showed significant differences between disease states. Differences in biomarker levels between diseases were significant for 11 markers and were more striking (all p < 0.01) than differences related to disease activity. A combination of lower values of TIMP-1, IL-6, interferon-γ, and MMP-3 correctly classified 87% of samples with inactive GCA.

Conclusion.

We identified novel biomarkers of disease activity in GCA and EGPA. Differences of biomarker levels between diseases, independent of disease activity, were more apparent than differences related to disease activity. Further studies are needed to determine whether these serum proteins have potential for clinical use in distinguishing active disease from remission or in predicting longer-term outcomes.
Fibromyalgia Assessment Screening Tool: Clues to Fibromyalgia on a Multidimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire for Routine Care
Authors: Gibson Kathryn A. , Castrejon Isabel , Descallar Joseph , Pincus Theodore
Published: September 2019

Objective.

To develop feasible indices as clues to comorbid fibromyalgia (FM) in routine care of patients with various rheumatic diseases based only on self-report multidimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire (MDHAQ) scores, which are informative in all rheumatic diagnoses studied.

Methods.

All patients with all diagnoses complete an MDHAQ at each visit; the 2011 FM criteria questionnaire was added to the standard MDHAQ between February 2013 and August 2016. The proportion of patients who met 2011 FM criteria or had a clinical diagnosis of FM was calculated. Individual candidate MDHAQ measures were compared to 2011 FM criteria using receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves; cutpoints to recognize FM were selected from the area under the curve (AUC) for optimal tradeoff between sensitivity and specificity. Cumulative indices of 3 or 4 MDHAQ measures were analyzed as fibromyalgia assessment screening tools (FAST).

Results.

In 148 patients, the highest AUC in ROC analyses versus 2011 FM criteria were seen for MDHAQ symptom checklist, self-report painful joint count, pain visual analog scale (VAS), and fatigue VAS. The optimal cutpoints were ≥ 16/60 for symptom checklist, ≥ 16/48 for self-report painful joint count, and ≥ 6/10 for both pain and fatigue VAS. Cumulative FAST indices of 2/3 or 3/4 MDHAQ measures correctly classified 89.4–91.7% of patients who met 2011 FM criteria.

Conclusion.

FAST3 and FAST4 cumulative indices from only MDHAQ scores correctly identify most patients who meet 2011 FM criteria. FAST indices can assist clinicians in routine care as clues to FM with a general rheumatology rather than FM-specific questionnaire.
Having to Be the One: Mothers Providing Home Care to Infants With Complex Cardiac Needs
Authors: Imperial-Perez Flerida , Heilemann MarySue V.
Published: September 2019

Background

Early diagnosis of complex congenital heart disease and advances in surgical interventions have resulted in remarkable improvements in prognoses and hospital survival. Although studies have provided insight into children’s experiences with complex congenital heart disease after hospitalization, few have addressed parents’ experiences providing care for infants with complex congenital heart disease who are discharged home with complex care needs after surgical palliation.

Objectives

To describe the perceptions and lived experiences of mothers of infants who were discharged from the hospital after surgery for complex congenital heart disease but were then readmitted to the hospital.

Methods

Data collection and analysis for this pilot study were guided by grounded theory. From February through October 2017, interviews were conducted with 10 mothers about their experiences caring for their infants at home after surgery for complex congenital heart disease.

Results

Analyses led to development of 1 category, “having to be the one,” which had 3 properties: having no choice but to provide complex care at home, handling unexpected roles, and grappling with the possibility of death.

Conclusions

The category of “having to be the one” highlighted mothers’ experiences providing medicalized care at home to their infants after complex cardiac surgery while managing other responsibilities, such as employment, busy households, and parenting other school-age children. The role of the caregiver is vital but demanding. Mothers’ caregiving at home may be enhanced by nursing interventions such as routine screening for infant distress plus assessment for alterations in family coping or relational challenges that threaten family function.
Een gezaghebbend ‘katholiek’

The famous Dutch author G.K. van het Reve (later: Gerard Reve) converted to Catholicism and was baptized in 1966. This surprising move was a cause célèbre in the Netherlands in the 1960s. In his Reve-biography Nop Maas refers to Reve’s early contacts with Roman Catholics, but did not elaborate on it due to lack of sources. Jan Peet found reports on one of these contacts in the archives of the Katholieke Actie, a center of reflection on Dutch Catholicism. This article gives an account of the meetings in the years 1962-1964, based on these reports. Reve was present several times at meetings on modern literature, where the content of the Catholic faith was discussed, and the relation of this faith and modern literature, including one of Reve’s poems. The notes of the meetings are sometimes ad verbum, and they show Reve’s involvement in the debates. Though he could be ironic in tone and blasphemic in his expressions, Reve was met with respect in these circles, and it is clear that he is serious in his personal reflections on Roman Catholicism and modern culture. The meetings may have contributed to his artistic development.

Rev. B. Telder served the Reformed Church (liberated) of Breda in de mid-twentieth century, and came into trouble with ecclesial authorities because of his opinions on the afterlife. He was somewhat critical of the authority the Reformed confessions had in his denomination, and focused strictly on the text of the Bible. He concluded that body and soul belonged together even after death. Until Jesus Christ’s second coming the dead were not with Christ yet, but in a state of sleep. This opinion conflicted with the Reformed confessions, and Telder was sued. Geert van Dijk situates Telder’s conflict in the wider context of tensions within his denomination. In the end Telder was not deposed, but he left the denomination in 1964 with a part of his congregation.
De Nederlandse protestantse kerken onderweg naar het Verdrag van Trianon (1920)

At the end and in the aftermath of World War I, Hungary’s situation was very difficult: the war had been lost, the country was tormented by hunger and revolution, and the victoring countries were about to assign two-third of Hungary’s territory to neighboring countries. In this situation Hungary’s Protestant churches asked their Dutch sister churches for help and support in late 1918. A Hungarian delegation led by the theologian J. Sebestyén visited the Netherlands. What could the Dutch do? Articles in favor of the Hungarian cause were published, lectures were given, rallyes were organized. The Reformed Churches in the Netherlands took the initiative of a joint declaration on behalf of the Hungarians. The declaration, signed by many other Dutch Protestant churches, offers a rare example of ‘ecumenic’ collaboration in those days.
Could I be pregnant? A study of online adolescent pregnancy forums for social support

Research on adolescent parenthood has found one of the most critical predictors of offspring’s well-being is social support; however, scholars have also found that expectant adolescents sometimes experience a lack of support from their face-to-face networks. Very little research has examined how adolescent parents might make up for this discrepancy by utilizing mediated social networks; therefore, this study aims to fill a gap in the literature by examining how adolescent parents and expectant adolescents utilize online networks for support. One hundred and fifty messages from two online forums of adolescent pregnancy Web sites were content analyzed to examine the type of social support solicited by individual members. Additionally, 150 pairs of messages were examined to determine whether other community members provided the type of support solicited in the original posts. Guided by the optimal matching model, findings revealed informational and emotional support were sought most frequently across the two forums, with few users soliciting esteem, network, and tangible support. A further examination of the responses provided to support seekers revealed these online communities’ members most frequently matched the type of support initially solicited, followed by situations where they provided more support than asked for. Out of all five support types, those original posts that solicited informational or tangible support were most likely to have responses that provided the support type that was requested and even though posters did not necessarily ask for it, community members often provided emotional and esteem support in their responses.
