Published: May 2023

Commercialization has been highlighted as one the main obstacles for farmers in Brazil. Public policies have encouraged smallholder farmers to increase commercialization through institutional markets, named National School Feeding Program (PNAE) and Food Acquisition Program (PAA). The aim of this paper is to analyze commercialization of agrifood products by smallholder farmers in Paraná, Brazil, including PNAE and PAA programs. Empirical research comprised primary data from interviews with 27 smallholders in Paiçandu, Paraná. Results indicated that most farmers participate individually of PNAE and PAA, and main products are vegetables and processed products. Main advantages of PAA and PNAE are the assurance of sale, followed by prices. Main difficulties concern scale and assurance of supply, besides relative prices, especially for those accessing short channels.  Collective actions would help farmers to overcome difficulties, and create opportunities for developing other channels, such as collective street markets.

O aproveitamento de resíduos da indústria na fabricação de tijolos de solo-cimento é uma alternativa ambientalmente sustentável e possibilita a valorização destes resíduos, em vez de simplesmente lançá-los na natureza. Neste trabalho, analisou-se a influência da incorporação de cinza de bagaço de cana, pó de serra e PET nas características físicas e mecânicas de tijolos de solo-cimento. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que a incorporação dos resíduos (cinza de bagaço de cana e pó de serra) ao tijolo de solo-cimento manteve as propriedades mecânicas gerais, possibilitando a produção de tijolos prensados mais eficiente na relação custo-benefício, constituindo-se, portanto, numa excelente alternativa para o aproveitamento destes materiais.

Authors: Sehn Lieges Caroline , Zanchet Aládio , Gomes Micheli
Published: May 2023

O objetivo deste trabalho consistiu em analisar as informações de natureza ambiental divulgadas voluntariamente nos Relatórios de Gestão/Administração pelas cinco cooperativas agropecuárias brasileiras de maior destaque no cenário nacional. Tais relatórios foram analisados a fim de identificar estratégias de legitimidade organizacional utilizadas na divulgação de informações ambientais, de acordo com as categorias propostas por Suchman (1995), de ganhar, manter ou recuperar legitimidade, nas subcategorias pragmática, moral e cognitiva. Os resultados indicam que a divulgação voluntária de informações ambientais apresenta ênfase em ganhar legitimidade de forma pragmática, seguida pela forma moral. Não foram identificadas ocorrências de ações que visavam à recuperação de legitimidade nas cooperativas analisadas. Os resultados possibilitam concluir que as cooperativas agroindustriais brasileiras mantêm um processo constante de construção de sua legitimidade e se utilizam, essencialmente, da estratégia ganhar legitimidade de forma pragmática, ou seja, entendem as necessidades fundamentais demandadas pela sociedade e adotam ações para atendê-las.

El trabajo en plataformas digitales está siendo ampliamente discutido por su rol en la reorganización del trabajo. En ello cobra especial relevancia el eje de la autonomía formalmente atribuida a los trabajadores. En este artículo abordamos la producción de la autonomía en el trabajo de plataformas como estrategia de gobierno de las subjetividades, en el contexto de la precariedad estructural del mercado laboral en América Latina. Enmarcado en un estudio cualitativo y diseño de etnografía digital, se presenta el análisis de las aplicaciones destinadas a los trabajadores en dos plataformas: Uber (transporte) y Pedidos Ya (reparto) en Chile. Los resultados muestran que las apps, promueven la comprensión de sí como trabajadores libres y autorregulados a través de 2 estrategias complementarias: la exaltación de la libertad y voluntad del sujeto, y el solapamiento de los controles de la plataforma. Las formas de adscripción parcial a estas nociones se relacionan intrínsecamente con las condiciones de precariedad que caracterizan el empleo formal en la experiencia de los individuos. Se discuten las implicancias para la agenda de estudio sobre la uberización del trabajo.

Esta investigación se sitúa en el contexto de las profundas desigualdades que existen en Chile, las que afectan principalmente a los grupos clasificados como diversos: mujeres, pueblos originarios, disidencias sexuales, condición de pobreza, migrantes, entre otros. En este contexto interesó conocer de qué manera la formación inicial docente contribuye a través de la mención de estos grupos en los programas de curso a la perpetuación de esta realidad. Es un estudio cualitativo en el que se revisaron todos los programas de curso (298) de la carrera de Pedagogía en Educación Básica de seis universidades chilenas, seleccionando  aquellos que mencionan la palabra diversidad o algún grupo asociado a ella. De esa totalidad, se analizó los grupos asociados a diversidad que se mencionan y la finalidad con la que se nombran. Se concluye que los grupos diversos se mencionan de manera acotada y en pocos cursos, encontrándose solo en 46. El único grupo presente en todas las instituciones es el de Necesidades Educativas Especiales (NEE). Por último, frente a la diversidad de género, pueblos originarios, clase social, migrantes y diversidad sexual, predomina su valoración positiva, sin considerar sus tensiones, conflictos, discriminaciones y la desigualdad que viven.

Authors: Ayodele Otonye Bille
Published: May 2023

Scholars of African art have advocated various methodologies for the study of African contemporary arts. These methodologies serve their purposes, however there is no particular most embracing and consensus approach so far. Since the millennium, the outcomes of African contemporary art actually defy any static approach. This paper proposes the ideologies and aesthetics of some post-colonial art movements in Nigeria and their impact on Nigerian contemporary art, as a methodological path to understanding the emerging contemporary arts of Nigeria. The art movements considered in this paper are Zarianism, Osogbo Art, Ulism, Onaism and Araism which are the most outstanding of Nigerian post-colonial art movements since independence in 1960. These art movements, through their ideologies, have largely shaped what is today considered as Nigerian Contemporary Art. This paper is a contribution to the ongoing dialogues on the identity of post-colonial Africa and the processes of de-colonization of African culture. Contemporary Nigerian art in this paper is the art from the 1990s till date. The paper is based on qualitative research and bibliographic surveys. The findings show that many contemporary Nigerian arts and artists are affiliated or linked with early post-colonial art movements. In conclusion, a successful inquiry and understanding of the formation and practice of the art movements hopefully will create a pathway in the prediction, identity, and understanding of recent works of art in Nigeria and Africa.

Published: May 2023

Objectives: To analyses the clinical indication of abdominal hysterectomy with the histopathological findings.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, PNS Shifa, Karachi Pakistan, from Jul 2017 to Jun 2019.

Methodology: During the study period, we obtained data of patients’ age, parity, presenting complaint, clinical features,indication and type of hysterectomy and histopathology reports of all hysterectomy specimens. A comparison between clinical indication and histopathological findings was made.

Results: During the study period, 180 hysterectomies were performed. Heavy menstrual bleeding due to fibroid uterus was seen in 76(42.22%) cases, followed by menstrual irregularities without organic pathology in 39(21.80%) cases. The commonest histopathological diagnosis was leiomyoma/fibroid in 78 cases (43.33%), followed by chronic cervicitis in 59 cases (32.77%).Preoperatively, 76 cases (42.22%) were diagnosed with fibroid uterus, but histopathology of 78(43.33%) showed fibroid uterus.Moreover, 39(21.80%) cases had a pre-operative diagnosis of abnormal uterine bleeding without organic pathology.However, histopathology confirmed only 22(12.22%) cases. Incidentally, on histopathology, we observed chronic cervicitis in 59(32.77%) cases.

Conclusion: The fibroid uterus is the most commonly identified pathology. 79.44% of cases confirmed the clinical diagnosis with histopathological diagnosis. The clinical and histopathological correlation was 100% in cases of leiomyoma, cervical and endometrial polyp.

Published: May 2023

Objective: To compare adjusted calcium levels with ionised Calcium in chronic renal failure patients with hypoalbuminemia for the correct assessment of their Calcium status.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Chemical Pathology and Endocrinology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Mar 2020 to Jan 2021.

Methodology: A total of 304 individuals aged 18 to 90 years, of either gender were included in the study. Participants were differentiated into stages of Chronic renal failure based on the estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated through the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation. Serum total Calcium, urea and creatinine were analysed on ADVIA 1800R Clinical Chemistry Auto analyser. In addition, ionised Calcium was analysed on Cobas b221 blood gas and electrolyte analyser.

Results: Mean age of the study participants was 56.3±16.03 years. 130(42.5%) individuals had stage-5 while 102(33.3%) had stage 4 chronic kidney disease. Based on ionised Calcium concentration, 37.3% of participants had hypocalcaemia, 57.2% had normocalcaemia, and 4.9% had hypercalcaemia. 57.5% had albumin concentration between 20-29g/L. Cohen’s Kappa statistical analysis showed adjusted Calcium to be a poor predictor of the correct Calcium status of the patients with hypoalbuminemia.

Conclusion: Adjusted Calcium, using the Modified Payne formula, overestimates Calcium status in patients of chronic renal failure with hypoalbuminemia when compared with total unadjusted Calcium levels hence misclassifying true hypocalcaemic patients as normocalcaemic.Keywords: Adjusted calcium, Chronic renal failure, Estimated glomerular filtration rate, Hypoalbuminemia, Ionised calcium.

Published: May 2023

Objective: To examine the clinical severity and infarct volume of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) compared to control subjects by comparing the mean platelet volume/platelet count (MPV/PC) ratio.

Study Design: Cross-sectional (validation) study.

Place and Duration of Study: Acute Stroke Unit, Pak Emirates Military Hospital (PEMH), Rawalpindi, from Jul and Dec 2020.

Methodology: This study included 50 consecutive AIS patients (Group-1) and 50 healthy subjects (Group-2). An automated haemanalyser determined MPV and MPV/PC ratios. In addition, a modified Rankin Scale for the severity of AIS and ABC/2 method for infarct volume was used.

Results: This study comprised 69 males and 31 females. Statistical analysis showed that MPV and MPV/PC have significantly different mean values between Group-1 and Group-2 at a p-value of 0.001. In addition, according to the Rankin scale, a significant difference of means (p-value <0.001) of MPV and MPV/PC ratio was present between stroke patients with different infarct sizes. A higher CVA score per Rankin scale was associated with greater infarct size and higher MPV and MPV/PC values.

Conclusion: Higher MPV and MPV/PC ratios are related to AIS compared to healthy individuals. Even greater MPV and MPV/PC ratio values are associated with increased infarct size. MPV and MPV/PC ratio measurements are simple, rapid, and highly cost-effective laboratory markers for risk stratification and early detection of cerebrovascular stroke.

Published: May 2023

Objective: To estimate age from mandibular third molar maturation stages in the patient presenting to the Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar Pakistan.

Study Design: Cross-sectional.

Place and Duration of Study: Department of Dentistry, Combined Military Hospital, Peshawar Pakistan, from Jun to Jul 2021.

Methodology: One hundred and fifty participants of either gender, ages 14 to 24 years, with good quality orthopantomogram (OPG) showing mandibular third molar tooth germs and Pakistani nationals were included. Participants with hypodontia, oligodontia, Amelogenesisimperfecta, Dentinogenesisimperfecta, history of trauma /fracture in the third molar region and any systemic disease were excluded. Data like age, gender and tooth maturation stages of right mandibular molars were recorded.

Results: The mean age was 16.76±2.19 years. In 111(74.9%) cases, the variation in chronological age can be explained by mandibular third molar maturation stages. The only statistically significant predictor for age was Demirjian's stage of lower third molar (p=0.002,95% CI=3.643-15.442), while gender was not a significant predictor.

Conclusion: The age can be estimated from the mandibular third molar with reliability in our population.

Objective: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of PET/CT in detecting aggressiveness of lymphoma based on sub-uptake keeping bone marrow biopsy as the gold standard.

Study Design: Prospective longitudinal study.

Place and Duration of Study: Armed Forces Institute of Radiology and Imaging, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Sep 2020 to Mar 2021.

Methodology: One hundred thirty-eight patients of either gender, aged 20 to 80 years who were diagnosed with lymphoma (either Hodgkin’s or non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma) on initial PET/CT scan were enrolled in the study. All patients underwent PET/CT, and 18-FDG SUV was calculated. After obtaining values, all participants underwent bone marrow biopsy to determine the aggressiveness of lymphoma and findings were subjected to statistical analysis.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 54.92±16.86, and the mean SUV value was 17.04±8.03. There were 77(55.8%) males and 61(44.2%) females. Hodgkin’s lymphoma was present in 28 (20.3%) patients and non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 110(79.7%). The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and diagnostic accuracy of 18 FDG PET/CT SUV were 92%, 92.2%, 93.2%, 90.9% and 92.1%, respectively.

Conclusion: 18-FDG PET/CT SUV has high diagnostic accuracy and can detect aggressive lymphomas and further specify the areas for biopsy.
