erminantes de su calidad. Con el propósito de subrayar la complejidad inherente a la dinámica política en el país, se señalan y particularizan sus propiedades idiosincrásicas y se abordan los retos explicativos para la comprensión de las mismas. Estos señalamientos son vistos a través de un contraste analítico entre los elementos del determinismo económico y político causantes de la agudización de la crisis. También se desarrolla un tratamiento que diferencia y gradúa los distintos niveles del deterioro democrático de este proceso. Desde una topología convencional de algunos indicadores de la calidad democrática, el trabajo pasa a una conclusión que subraya la singularidad del caso colombiano (deviant case) reiterando el sentido del eslabonamiento de los componentes del ensayo en vez de sacar una conclusión terminante.ABSTRACT: This paper analyses the basic determinants of the quality of democracy in Colombia. In order to achieve this purpose, it indicates and differentiates the characteristics of the national political dynamics and also discusses the underlying explanatory challenges. This is done through an analytical contrast of the elements of economic and political determinism that causes the aggravation of its crisis. It also develops a gradual follow up of the different degrees of the process of democratic deterioration. Finally, from the application of a conventional typology of indicators of the quality of democracy and after reiterating the logic of the essays’ concatenation, it underlines the uniqueness of the Colombian case (deviant) instead of reaching an ultimate conclusion.

Published: December 2020

Background and Aim: Staphylococcus aureus infections and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in mastitis cases are both of clinical and economic importance. This study investigated the prevalence and AMR patterns of S. aureus isolated from composite milk samples of dairy cows submitted to the Onderstepoort Milk Laboratory for routine diagnosis. Materials and Methods: A total of 2862 cow milk samples randomly selected from submitted samples were tested for the presence of S. aureus using microbiological and biochemical tests. Confirmation of isolates was done using the analytical profile index. Antimicrobial susceptibility of S. aureus isolates against 12 antimicrobial agents was determined using the disk diffusion method. Results: S. aureus was isolated from 1.7% (50/2862) of the samples tested. All (100%) S. aureus isolates were resistant to at least one antimicrobial, while 62% (31/50) were resistant to three or more categories of antimicrobials (multidrug-resistant [MDR]). Most S. aureus isolates were resistant to erythromycin (62%; 31/50) and ampicillin (62%; 31/50). Almost half of S. aureus isolates were resistant to oxacillin (46%; 23/50) and only 8% (4/50) were resistant to cefoxitin. Conclusion: Although the prevalence of S. aureus among mastitis cases in this study was low, isolates exhibited high resistance to aminoglycosides, macrolides, and penicillins, all of which are important drugs in human medicine. The high prevalence of MDR S. aureus and the presence of methicillin resistance among S. aureus observed in this study are of both clinical and public health concerns.

Estudo da manutenção de equipamentos de uma usina de etanol sob a metodologia MCC (manutençâo centrada na confiabilidade)
Authors: Silva Elias Tadeu da , Piratelli Claudio Luis , Achcar Jorge Alberto
Published: December 2020

A manutenção e a sua gestão possuem uma importância substancial na busca de vantagem competitiva para as empresas. Por isso, a análise de confiabilidade de seus  equipamentos é parte fundamental para a definição da estratégia de manutenção mais adequada. O objetivo deste estudo é avaliar por meio da metodologia MCC (Manutenção Centrada na Confiabilidade) a curva do ciclo de vida de uma usina de cana de açúcar localizada na região central do Estado de São Paulo e desta forma responder se a atual estratégia é a mais adequada para o gerenciamento da sua manutenção. O método de pesquisa utilizado foi baseado na modelagem estatística aplicada aos tempos entre falhas (TBF) e aos tempos de reparo (TTR) de todos os equipamentos industriais que paralisam a operação da moenda, ou seja, a interrupção na linha de produção. Estes tempos foram modelados por uma distribuição de probabilidade de Weibull e os resultados mostram que dentre as estratégias utilizadas pela usina, o uso intensivo da manutenção preventiva sem um critério definido para vários tipos de manutenção (emergencial, preventiva, corretiva e preditiva) durante a safra não é adequado. Como a análise estatística identificou, historicamente estes equipamentos se encontram na fase de mortalidade infantil do ciclo de vida útil, portanto sugere-se eliminar a causa raiz das falhas utilizando estratégias mais apropriadas e recomendadas pela literatura como as manutenções corretivas e emergenciais.

Authors: Sari Dany Perwita , Laksana Pradhana Jati Budhi
Published: December 2020

Considering the magnitude of energy loss in building, development of energy saving methods appears to be essential. Daylight plays a significant role in designing energy efficient buildings and improving visual comfort for the occupants. Many daylight analysis methods have been developed in this area. Most of these methods focus on opening maximization. These methods unfortunately might reduce comfort since it causes direct solar glare. There is a need for a reliable lighting simulation model to control the lighting strategy in early stage design. This study proposes a strategy for visualizing daylight analysis of buildings by using Integrated Dynamic Model (IDM). IDM is a combination of design tools used during the conceptual phase for holistic classroom that considers the building’s energy usage, daylight distribution, and thermal indoor environment. The optimization focus is related maximize the performance of the building envelope design. The purpose of this paper are; firstly, providing a new strategy for visualizing the predicting daylight while respecting architectural integrity. The second purpose is to facilitate the designer for choosing window and envelope design alternatives during early stages. The third is to maximize the positive impacts of daylight. Lastly, hopefully IDM could present a simplified simulation and analyze method with the timely, accurate and efficient process.

Assessment of the Food and Physical Activity Environment on a University Campus
Authors: Castellitto Kayla , Fitzgerald Nurgul
Published: December 2020

Large percentages of college students are reported to be overweight and sedentary and do not consume the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables. These outcomes can be influenced by the students’ environment. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of healthfulness and environmental supports on Rutgers University’s Cook Campus (RU)—one of the five Rutgers campuses—by examining campus food and physical activity environment, and related policies. As a part of the nationwide Get Fruved study on over 90 college/university campuses, the Healthy Campus Environmental Audit (HCEA) instrument was used to assess dining establishments, vending machines, recreational environment, and policies at RU. RU scores were compared to the original scales and to the average of the other Get Fruved universities/colleges. RU’s healthfulness scores for dining halls/cafeterias, recreational environment, vending machine supports, and stimulants policy were on the higher end of the scales and above the averages of other Get Fruved schools. However, RU’s scores indicated limited healthfulness in fast-food/sit-down restaurants; walking/biking supports; availability of healthy snacks and beverages in vending machines; healthy eating policies; and policies encouraging physical activity and chronic disease prevention. This study identified the strengths and weaknesses in RU’s campus environment and in RU’s policies for healthy eating and active living. These results can be used to support a healthier campus environment.
The use of refusal strategies in interlanguage speech act performance of Korean and Norwegian users of English
Authors: Krulatz Anna , Dixon Tülay
Published: December 2020

The present paper describes a contrastive study of interlanguage refusal strategies employed by Korean and Norwegian learners of English as an additional language. The data were collected from multilingual first-year students at an American university in South Korea and in an English-medium program at a Norwegian university by means of an online open discourse completion task and analyzed using the coding categories based on Beebe, Takahashi, and Uliss-Welts (1990), and Salazar Campillo, Safont-Jordà, and Codina Espurz (2009). The data were analyzed to compare the average frequencies of refusal strategies used by the two groups, and the types of direct, indirect, and adjunct strategies that they employed. Independent samples t-tests revealed significant differences in the use of direct and indirect strategies with small effect sizes. The differences in the use of adjunct strategies were not statistically significant, and the effect sizes were negligible. Descriptive statistics of the differences in the types of direct, indirect, and adjunct strategies also revealed interesting patterns. The findings suggest that multilinguals’ pragmatic performance is a complex phenomenon that cannot be explained by the differences in cultural and pragmatic norms of their first language alone.
Towards a homological generalization of the direct summand theorem
Authors: Vélez-Caicedo Juan Diego , Gómez-Ramírez Danny Arlen de Jesús
Published: December 2020

We present a more general homological characterization of the direct summand theorem (DST). Specifically, we state two new conjectures: the socle-parameter conjecture (SPC) in its weak and strong forms. We give a proof for the weak form by showing that it is equivalent to the DST. Furthermore, we prove the SPC in its strong form for the case when the multiplicity of the parameters is smaller than or equal to two. Finally, we present a new proof of the DST in the equicharacteristic case, based on the techniques thus developed.

Authors: László Kákai
Published: December 2020

Az elmúlt időszakban jelentős változások következtek be a magyar civil szektor helyzetében. Ennek egyik látványos megjelenési formája a jogszabályok módosulása, amely a működésük intézményes környezetére gyakorolt jelentős hatást, majd ennek kevésbé látható következményeként a szektor pénzügyi helyzete is átalakult. Végül pedig a kormányzat és a civil szektor viszonyának megváltozását kell említeni, amely részben új „magatartásformák” megjelenését másrészt új típusú szervezetformák színrelépését eredményezte. A tanulmány célja, hogy bemutassa ezen folyamat néhány látható és kevésbé látható megjelenési formáját.
KÖZIGAZGATÁS BÍRÓSÁGI KONTROLLJA MAGYARORSZÁGON
Authors: Ildikó Vadál
Published: December 2020

A tanulmányban a közigazgatási szervek döntéseivel szemben igénybe vehető jogorvoslati lehetőségek vizsgálatára vállalkozom. Vajon az államhatalom szerveinek cselekvéseivel, esetleges túlkapásaival szemben milyen úton kereshet az ügyfél jogorvoslatot? A témát különösen aktuálissá teszi, hogy 2020. március elsejétől megszűnt a közigazgatásban az ügyfelek részére 1952-től rendelkezésre álló általános jogorvoslati eszköz, a fellebbezés lehetősége. A sérelmesnek tartott döntéseket bíróság előtt lehet megtámadni. Vajon a közigazgatási szervezettől elkülönülő, a rendes bíróságok által végzett felülvizsgálat kizárólagossá tétele előnyökkel jár a polgárok számára, vagy a jogorvoslati lehetőségeik beszűkülését eredményezi? Úgy gondolom, hogy Magyarországon a közigazgatási bíráskodás újraindításától eltelt csaknem három évtized tapasztalatai nemcsak alkalmasak arra, hogy az eddigi tendenciákat összegezzem, hanem ezt szükségessé is teszi az a közigazgatási rendszerünkben előzmények nélküli változás, ami 2020. március elsején bekövetkezett.

Authors: MARTÍN MARTÍN Jorge
Published: December 2020

El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación ha sido dar una visión sobre las primeras manifestaciones de atletismo en la ciudad de Segovia (Castilla y León), a través de la creación del Club Atlético Joaquín Blume (C.A.J. Blume). En este artículo se pretende rescatar la historia del club, recuperando la iniciativa de ciudadanos anónimos, que ha sido la base para el funcionamiento de este durante más de 50 años. Este trabajo ha sido elaborado a través de siete entrevistas, a siete presidentes diferentes del C.A.J. Blume (Antonio Pinillos, Tomás Lorenzo, Fernando Fuentetaja, Jaime Gila, Emiliano del Caño, Tomás Lorenzo y Gustavo Gómez), con la finalidad de conocer desde su perspectiva, cómo era la situación atlética en cada una de las etapas, a la vez que analizar la evolución del club. El espíritu de equipo y el ambiente familiar por el que se ha conocido siempre a la entidad, y su filosofía, de no solo de formar atletas, sino también personas, han sido las bases para el mantenimiento del mismo. En la actualidad el club tiene convenios de colaboración con el Ayuntamiento de Segovia y la Diputación de Segovia para el desarrollo del atletismo en la ciudad y provincia; cuenta con una Junta Directiva con responsabilidades administrativas y deportivas y, a la vez dispone de entrenadores para todas las categorías y especialidades atléticas.
Esa sombra que se filtra por todas partes: Galdós y Buñuel
Authors: Vela Bueno José Carlos
Published: December 2020

La sombra es lo reprimido como olvidado, lo restringido, lo invisibilizado. Este texto trata sobre dicha sombra tanto en la psique como en los cuerpos humano y social. Lo desplazado e invisibilizado exige tener voz y encuentra en las distintas formas de expresión artística una de las esferas privilegiadas para manifestarse. Las obras de Benito Pérez Galdós y de Luis Buñuel así lo muestran; la expresión de lo restringido e invisibilizado es uno de los vínculos más poderosos entre las obras de ambos autores.
La cuestión obrera y la mujer nueva: pueblo, burguesía y feminismo en Benito Pérez Galdós
Authors: Ucciardello Mariacarmela
Published: December 2020

El siguiente estudio pretende demostrar que Galdós siempre ha simpatizado con el pueblo ya desde 1870. A partir de 1906 toma parte en la política activa como diputado y más tarde como presidente de la Conjunción Republicano-Socialista; con todo, su posición al principio es antes que nada liberal, para progresar hacia posturas socialistas ya a principios del siglo xx. Su cometido político lo lleva a participar hasta su muerte en actos públicos y a dedicarse al teatro, que tiene para él fuerte significación social y política. Por lo cual, se van a analizar a partir de criterios relacionados con la historia social y los estudios de género algunos de sus discursos políticos más destacables y dos obras teatrales que han sido emblemáticas por su gran valor literario, social y político: Electra (1895) y Celia en los infiernos (1913).
Covid-19, Educación y Derechos de la Infancia en España
Authors: Espinosa Mª Ángeles
Published: December 2020

Las medidas adoptadas en el Real Decreto por el que se declara el estado de alarma para luchar contra la epidemia producida por el Covid-19 en España impactan de manera directa sobre niños, niñas y adolescentes. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar, en su primera parte, la compleja relación que existe entre el derecho a la protección de la salud, el derecho a la educación y los derechos de la infancia. La suspensión de la actividad docente presencial ha supuesto no solamente la posibilidad de que muchos niños y niñas vean ralentizados sus aprendizajes escolares, especialmente aquellos que proceden de entornos más vulnerables, sino también que dejen de estar protegidos y que pierdan la posibilidad de alcanzar unas mejores condiciones de vida, por el efecto positivo que la escuela tiene como herramienta de compensación de las desigualdades sociales. Parece, entonces, necesario que se aborde, en la segunda parte del artículo, una seria reflexión acerca de las condiciones y el momento en el que se debe volver a las aulas. Así como, sobre las medidas que se han de adoptar para garantizar la calidad y la equidad del sistema educativo teniendo en cuenta que la enfermedad seguirá estando presente en nuestras vidas y, por tanto, el riesgo de que se produzcan nuevos contagios. Disponer de un Plan Nacional de Digitalización; revisar el curriculum, y proporcionar programas de refuerzo son retos que enfrenta nuestro sistema educativo, pero que pueden convertirse en oportunidades para mejorar su calidad y equidad.
O “Átomo Invisível” na defesa dos ideais de progresso e civilização
Authors: Pinto Diego Raian Aguiar
Published: December 2020

A saída do Império e a decorrente entrada da República proporcionaram mudanças significativas no Brasil. As antigas estruturas brasileiras começaram a se romper e modificações sociais, econômicas e políticas já eram visualizadas na sociedade, pautadas, principalmente, em ideais difundidos por uma elite iniciante. Em Caetité, território do Alto Sertão da Bahia, a propagação do discurso progressista e querente de mudanças era de responsabilidade de João Antônio dos Santos Gumes, intelectual caetiteense, autor de inúmeros romances e proprietário do Jornal A Penna. Para produção desse artigo, as ideias de Gumes foram colocadas sob análise, especialmente aquelas contidas em seu romance Os Analphabetos e em seu jornal A Penna, objetivando entender a dinâmica da sociedade caetiteense e do Alto Sertão da Bahia após a Abolição da Escravatura e da Proclamação da República. Aliás, é por defender esses dois eventos que João Gumes é, aqui, apresentado como “Escritor-Cidadão”, conceito anteriormente utilizado por Pires (2011) e pautado nos estudos de Sevcenko (2003). Os estudos desenvolvidos nesta pesquisa, portanto, levam-nos ao entendimento de que o território em questão passou, também, pela dinâmica do progresso atuante no Brasil no princípio do século XX, além de proporcionar a compreensão do cidadão João Gumes, escritor em boa parte de sua vida, como combatente dos atrasos existentes que impossibilitavam a entrada dos seus sertões na “época moderna”.
Digital university: rethinking the model framework within stakeholder theory
Authors: Neborsky Egor , Boguslavsky Mikhail , Ladyzhets Natalya , Naumova Tatyana
Published: December 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic, which triggered an avalanche-like transition of universities to a remote work format, not only identified new conditions for organizing pedagogical and administrative processes in universities, but also updated the topic of digital technologies in research projects and publications. The framework of the “digital university” model, for the implementation of which the state provides subsidies, consists of four blocks: management systems based on data; digital educational technologies; individual educational trajectories; competence of the digital economy. In general, the development of a framework for a digital university model is aimed at solving specific problems that are fully justified, and their solution seems to be extremely necessary, but in a sense they can represent only the first stage in the development of a digital university as a phenomenon of a new era. The introduction of technological innovation into the ritualized practices of universities is, in fact, a response to past challenges. To rethink the framework of the model, its enrichment and refinement, the theory of stakeholders (stakeholders) was used. The main stakeholders are: the state; University management; administrative staff; teaching staff; researchers and laboratory assistants; educational support staff; technical staff; students; parents and legal representatives of students; applicants; parents and legal representatives of applicants; foreign universities and their representatives in the university administration; foreign faculty; foreign students, graduate students and doctoral students; employers; investors; mass media (primarily regional); public organizations. The needs of stakeholders are considered, as well as possible digital solutions. The article substantiates that the traditional use of a digital device without the actual use of innovative digital technologies does not make higher education digital in the literal sense of the word.
Innovations to regulate the functioning of a tower crane as a cyber-physical system to ensure the safe construction of a construction object
Authors: Ilyicheva Elizaveta , Chulkov Vitaly
Published: December 2020

This is the 21st century, the age of electronic technologies, where every country in the world is striving to improve all processes through cyber-physical systems. Construction is one of the industries where these systems are actively developed and improved every year. One of the main mechanisms on the construction site is a tower crane. It is impossible to build multi-storey buildings without it. It is very difficult to manage and coordinate the operation of a tower crane and requires a lot of employees, as well as construction using a tower crane is very dangerous and entails large losses of people if you do not follow safety precautions. To simplify the use of the tower crane, many of the largest companies around the world have begun to work on the introduction of modern electronic technologies in the construction of cranes, in order to improve the control of work, simplify use and reduce human resources. Also, these technologies are being implemented in order to improve the safety of work, it is terrible to imagine what will happen if the tower crane falls or the heavy load that it moves falls, what victims this incident may entail. To solve this problem, the ins technology was developed, which is discussed in detail in this article. Ins automatically detects the wind speed, predicts the future and calculates the danger of falling cargo or crane, this system automatically disables the operation of the crane to move the load if there are deviations. This article also discusses the idea of connecting the tower crane operation system to cloud servers, in order to repeatedly improve the crane operation memory and data storage. In addition, we consider sensor systems that prevent tower cranes from colliding. This is most relevant when more than one crane is working on a construction site or there is a surrounding building in the vicinity of construction. We consider several major companies that compete in the market for modern developments and their technologies that improve modern construction.
The impact of long-term construction subjects and industrial areas on the geoecology of cities and development of depressed urban spaces
Authors: Kurochkina Valentina
Published: December 2020

The matter of formation of depressive territories as well as their environmental impact and impact on the urban system environment is considered in this article. Such territories traditionally include agrarian and industrial, extracting (focal) and old industrial ones. The signs of "depressiveness" are the following: availability of the abandoned, destroyed or half-ruined structures, having different level of moral and physical deterioration, in the territory.
It is noted in the article, that the long decrease in the indicators of quality of the environment is observed on depressive spaces, and that the term "depressive" is used in relation to the spaces in city planning and ecology more and more often. At the same time, as the author specifies in the article, when studying the matter of depressive spaces (especially from the ecological and town-planning positions) they very seldom mention one more version of such spaces, e.i. the subjects of construction in progress (long-term construction subjects). Negative impact of unfinished constructions on the quality of life in the cities has multidimensional character. Some of their aspects emerge at considerable distance from the abandoned buildings.
That was the purpose of carried out research of some subjects of construction in progress and the territories adjoining to them. Besides, complex information analysis on the abandoned city buildings, existing in other countries was carried out. According to the received results, the classification of subjects of construction in progress was developed. The stages of their degradation and the impacts on living conditions of urban population, accompanying them, were identified. The need of complex hazard assessment of unfinished constructions as the uncontrollable degrading coupled human-environment systems is proved.

Authors: Kobyakova Marina , Katkova Alla
Published: December 2020

The article reveals the problem of introducing a technological approach into any transformational activity, including professional. Within the framework of solving the research problems, the inclusion in the goal-setting system of the formation of various thinking skills in the learning process is considered. The scientific work reflects fundamental research on the following problems: personal developmental learning (A.V. Petrovsky, V.V. Serikov); the influence of motivation on the effectiveness of educational activities (A.A. Leontiev, O.K. Tikhomirov, J. Usher, A.P. Preobrazhensky, O.N. Choporov). The authors also analyzed a number of scientific works on the problem of applying cognitive learning technology and methods of forming student motivation for successfully solving professional problems in his future professional activity.
Within the framework of the article, provisions were proposed for the design of personal developmental training in the course of building the educational process. The authors pay special attention to the use of methods of cognitive instruction technology of transformative activity carried out by means of ICT to focus on the effective assimilation of knowledge and skills. In the conditions of personal developmental education, these methods are subject to the requirements listed in the article. The presented material shows that for active, motivated work of students, it is necessary to purposefully form and develop the motives of their activities in the educational process through the methods of cognitive instruction technology.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the care provided to individuals with Tuberculosis (TB)-HIV coinfection in prison units in the state of São Paulo, according to the regional coordination of prisons. Methods: cross-sectional study conducted between 2016 and 2018. A structured questionnaire was applied to 112 directors or health professionals from 168 prison units. Data were analyzed by frequency distribution and multiple correspondence analysis. Results: 92.9% of participants reported active search for respiratory symptoms, 89.3% offer the directly observed treatment (DOT) for all TB cases, 95.5% anti-HIV testing for all inmates, 92.9% offer HIV follow-up in specialized care services and 59.8% antiretroviral drugs for cases of coinfection. An association was identified between the Northwest and Central regional coordinations and deficient human resources and low performance of actions for the diagnosis and follow-up of cases. Conclusions: although most prison units perform planned actions for the care of coinfected persons, some places need support to guarantee access to these actions.

Authors: Rangel Rosiane Filipin , Paula Saul Ferraz de , Zamberlan Cláudia , Backes Dirce Stein , Medeiros Adriane Calvetti de , Siqueira Hedi Crecencia Heckler de
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT Objectives: to verify nurses’ perceptions about comprehensive care to human beings from the ecosystem perspective, with Therapeutic Touch use. Methods: an exploratory-descriptive, qualitative study, conducted with 11 nurses who use/used Therapeutic Touch in daily work. Data were collected through online semi-structured interviews and submitted to discursive textual analysis. The ecosystem framework was used. Results: participants talked about the theme in a polysemic way, but understand that comprehensive care is associated with nursing professionals and intrinsic in their being and doing, considering the philosophical theoretical bases of nursing, which aim at the comprehensiveness of being. Final Considerations: Therapeutic Touch was considered as a way to achieve comprehensive care caring to human being ins. The objective of the study was achieved; however, it is understood the need for other research to advance this knowledge and enable innovations in professional practice of nurses.

ABSTRACT Objective: to investigate evidence that indicates the contribution of realistic high, medium or low fidelity simulation to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes in safe medication administration by nursing students. Methods: an integrative review of experimental studies from MEDLINE, LILACS, Web of Science, Scopus and Science Direct. The descriptors “nursing students”, “simulation”, “high fidelity simulation training”, “medication errors” and “pharmacology” were used to identify 14 studies that answered the research question, and were assessed for accuracy methodological level and level of evidence. Results: there was a sample of quasi-experimental studies, (level 3 of evidence; 78.6%) and randomized clinical trials (level 2 of evidence; 21.4%), whose expressive majority showed superiority of the simulation strategy over the traditional methodology (71.4%). Conclusion: using low and high fidelity simulators, standardized patients and virtual simulation can promote acquisition of essential skills for patient safety.

Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the prevalence of mammography screening and the association among socio-demographic, behavior factors and non-adherence to mammography screening among women between 50 and 69 years old, using data from Vigitel 2016. Method: Cross-sectional, population-based study with data from Vigitel including 12,740 women in the 50-69 age group. The variables were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: Among the women studied, 21.8% had not had a mammography in the past 2 years. The characteristics associated with non-adherence to the test were having less than 12 years of education (p<0.001), having no partner (p=0.001), being underweight (p=0.002), having a negative self-perceived health status (p<0.001) and having at least one negative health behavior (p<0.001). Conclusion: There is a subgroup of women with markers of social vulnerability, which reflect the inequality in mammography screening.

Authors: Silva Paulo Sérgio da
Published: December 2020

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe simulated scenes on conflict management in nursing care, created by university students; and to identify the skills and attitudes needed by the nursing student to manage conflicts in health care. Methods: This is a qualitative study conducted with 28 university nursing students from a public college located in the city of Boa Vista, Roraima. The strategy adopted for the production of data was the simulation of scenes of conflict. The data were analyzed according to Bardin’s methodology. Results: Four conflict scenes were produced, involving nurses and nursing technicians, health managers, multiprofessional health teams, and patient care. In this context, 274 record units were identified regarding skills and attitudes for nurses to manage conflicts. Final Considerations: The skills and attitudes essential for conflict management were: effective verbal communication, body language observation, knowing how to listen, negotiate, make decisions, be neutral, impartial, and how to lead democratically.

ABSTRACT Objective: Evaluate the impairment of tissue integrity in patients with diabetic foot and verify its association with time of diagnosis of the disease. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted with 134 patients in an outpatient clinic located in the Northeast region of Brazil. A semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection, which was subjected to descriptive analysis and the Mann-Whitney U non-parametric test. Results: Indicators with the lowest average score were: skin temperature, sweating, skin lesions, right and left pedal pulses, right and left tibial pulses. Patients less than ten years old had worse scores on thickness, elasticity, right tibial pulse and tissue integrity. Those with a diagnosis time of more than ten years had a greater impairment of sensation and right pulse. Conclusion: All indicators showed some impairment of tissue integrity, and the time of diagnosis of the disease was associated with six of these.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the association between the comfort level of chronic hemodialysis patients with sociodemographic and clinical variables using the General Comfort Questionnaire. Method: Cross-sectional study, with a quantitative approach, considering 180 chronic hemodialysis renal patients. Two instruments were used: one for sociodemographic and clinical variables; and the General Comfort Questionnaire, Brazilian version. Mann-Whitney’s, Kruskal-Wallis’s, and Spearman’s tests were used for data analysis. Results: The overall comfort level of patients was 78.16%. The socio-cultural domain presented the lowest level of comfort and the psychospiritual the highest level. Some variables were significantly associated with the domains, such as marital status, education, and considering oneself to be anxious. Conclusion: In the four domains of comfort, it was possible to identify patients’ needs, such as the presence and intensity of pain, anxiety, constipation and type of access, making it possible to guide nurses in the systematization of care and improve the comfort of these patients.

ABSTRACT Objective: to demonstrate scientific evidence on incidence and factors associated with contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: an integrative review carried out in the VHL, PubMed, VHL Regional Portal and SciELO databases, of articles published between 2014 and 2019. Results: the sample consisted of five original articles, two cohorts, two control cases and a clinical trial. The incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy ranged from 6% to 24%. It stands out among patients with advanced age, male gender, diabetes mellitus, systemic arterial hypertension, volume of contrast infused and osmolarity. Intravenous hydration, sodium bicarbonate, ascorbic acid and statin were important prophylactic agents. Conclusion: this study envisioned the main risk factors for contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and elucidated preventive measures that guide multidisciplinary health care aiming at a quality and safe care.
UMA TAREFA PARA MAIS DE UM SÉCULO: SCHILLER E OS POTENCIAIS FORMATIVOS DA EDUCAÇÃO ESTÉTICA
Authors: BARONI VIVIAN , CENCI ANGELO VITÓRIO
Published: December 2020

RESUMO: Escritas no final do século XVIII, na obra A educação estética do homem numa série de cartas, Schiller ultrapassa a discussão acerca da arte ao identificar a necessidade urgente de uma educação estética enquanto cura para os males trazidos pela modernidade. No presente artigo, procuramos reconstruir a concepção formativa que embasa a discussão presente nas Cartas, procurando demonstrar a atualidade de suas premissas educacionais. Para tanto, estudamos as concepções históricas que influenciaram a redação das Cartas, assim como os conceitos centrais que embasam a sua concepção de educação estética. Também analisamos o papel da educação estética enquanto contraponto da fragmentação e no questionamento acerca do lugar da sensibilidade na formação. Com tal estudo, esperamos evidenciar a importância da educação estética schilleriana no contexto atual ao recuperar aspectos críticos e emancipatórios da arte enquanto formação humana e projeção de uma racionalidade ampliada.

Resumo O monitoramento contínuo da qualidade do ar local é extremamente importante para a gestão ambiental de uma cidade, mas nem sempre viável pelo alto custo dos equipamentos. Por conta disso, investe-se muito na utilização da modelagem numérica no estudo da qualidade do ar, que é altamente dependente de inventários de emissões dos poluentes e seus precursores. Nesse contexto o objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar um estudo da dispersão do monóxido de carbono (CO) na Região Metropolitana de Porto Alegre, no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, utilizando o sistema de modelagem numérica CCATT-BRAMS, com ênfase nas fontes veiculares. Foram analisados dois períodos - janeiro de 2009 e janeiro de 2016 - utilizando-se as informações dos inventários de gases precursores elaborados pela FEPAM para os anos base de 2009 e 2013, respectivamente, distribuídos espacialmente com o auxílio do pré-processador de emissões PREP-CHEM-SRC utilizado pelo CCATT-BRAMS. No geral, as simulações representaram coerentemente os dados observados pela rede de monitoramento, com RMSE abaixo de 0,3 na maioria das estações avaliadas. Análises de sensibilidade também revelaram que, para o período avaliado, aproximadamente 40% da concentração de CO sobre a cidade de Porto Alegre foi devido ao transporte de larga escala, proveniente das cidades localizadas ao norte, dentro da Região Metropolitana.
Aprendizagens com signos trans - uma transetopoiese disruptiva
Authors: Rocon Pablo Cardozo , Barros Maria Elizabeth Barros de , Rodrigues Heliana de Barros Conde
Published: December 2020

RESUMO Através de uma cartografia das linhas de formação, o artigo problematiza a hipótese, levantada pela literatura, da presença de uma insuficiência formativa dos trabalhadores da saúde como causa do desrespeito ao nome social, da discriminação e da patologização das identidades trans, que impedem o acesso dessa população aos serviços de saúde. Foram realizadas entrevistas gravadas em áudio com 7 (sete) trabalhadoras de um ambulatório do Processo Transexualizador do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) lotado em hospital universitário, e com 2 (dois) usuários. Analisa-se um conjunto de estratégias formativas que convergem para uma formação normalizadora que percorre linhas molares, nas quais os(as) trabalhadores(as) são disciplinados por protocolos e manuais de diagnóstico a aplicar as normas binárias de gênero e a heteronormatividade em seus processos de trabalho, produzindo a patologização das identidades trans e tornando seletivo o acesso aos serviços. A aposta feita no artigo é a de que o encontro com as pessoas trans pode fazer emergir aprendizados com signos que catalisam a experiência de uma arte de fazer-se trans, a qual culmina no mal-estar do desencontro com as verdades sobre gêneros e sexualidade. Sair de tal mal-estar supõe experimentar-se com tais signos - uma experimentação transetopoiética com a produção de um corpo com novos contornos, capaz de suportar a diferença que pede passagem, abrindo caminho para a produção de modos de viver e trabalhar com a saúde trans que afirmem a diferença.
