El reordenamiento de la vida cotidiana en la pandemia: intimidad, afectos y cuidados
Authors: Duek Carolina
Published: January 2025

The pandemic drastically affected everyday life, modifying times, spaces, movements, connections and ways of working. All routines, domestic and family organization were affected by a new situation that required a series of health care tasks but also the reconfiguration of the ways of life that were known until then. In this article we will focus on the experience of professional women with children under their care during lockdown in particular and the pandemic in general from the City of Buenos Aires, the Metropolitan Area and the province of Buenos Aires. The objective is to reconstruct, through their words, from a qualitative perspective, the subjective experience of the transformations and continuities that the pandemic implied in relation to the domestic, the public and the intimate space. The hypothesis that organizes this article states that the closure of institutions and the domestic confinement were situations of high emotional, work and material burden for women with children, which entailed the loss of personal spaces. This overload would not only be linked to care tasks but also to the worsening of working conditions, their concentration and individualization in the context of the impossibility of mobility. This article aims to contribute to the description and analysis of everyday life during the pandemic and the family, social, work and relational dimensions that unfolded in different ways in the subjective experience of professional women.
Biografía y archivo. Una conferencia de Jorge Luis Borges escrita por un agente de inteligencia policial
Authors: Funes Patricia
Published: January 2025

On May 28, 1970, Jorge Luis Borges delivered the conference “Junín and the Conquest of the Desert” in that city. Among the audience present, an agent of the local intelligence services listened, wrote and sent to his superiors a version of the lecture and his impressions, a singular record that is kept in the Archives of the Intelligence Directorate of the Police of the Province of Buenos Aires (DIPPBA).
The aim of the article is to inscribe the document on two levels: (1) to expose some notes and reflections on the narration of lives, biographical and autobiographical moments in the writing and literary aesthetics of Jorge Luis Borges that point to themes related to what was supposedly exposed in the conference; (2) to situate the document, the logics of the archive and the political context that surrounded it, and to put this in dialogue with the previous point. And, interweaving both, to analyze in methodological and analytical terms, the tense relations between biography, autobiography and archive.
Melodrama y escándalo de madre. Relatos biográficos sobre celebridades en el periodismo de espectáculos y chimentos
Authors: Sanchez de Bustamante Marina
Published: January 2025

From multiple stories about the intimate lives of female celebrities, entertainment journalism constructs evaluations and judgments about emotions and behaviors that fuel cultural perceptions about motherhood.
This article identifies two cultural frameworks involved in the journalistic narrative of entertainment and celebrity coverage —melodrama and scandal—, and analyzes their articulation in the biographical production about famous mothers that proliferates in magazines, TV shows, and platforms dedicated to celebrity news. Embedded in the tradition of discourse criticism, the work investigates the staging of melodramas and scandals in the journalistic construction of six stories linked to motherhood involving different famous Argentine women.
From the analysis of different sources that threaded those stories, a moral rhetoric is observed, expressed by the complementary alternation between tales of misfortunes and maternal transgressions.
Formas de narrar: el espacio biográfico entre la política y las poéticas en Patricio Pron y Josefina Giglio
Authors: Corral María Manuela
Published: January 2025

This article examines the novels El espíritu de mis padres sigue subiendo en lluvia (2011), by Patricio Pron, and Yo la quise (2019), by Josefina Giglio, with emphasis on the ways of narrating. The tension between the lived experience and its becoming an artifice is analyzed, moving through the relationship between literature and memory from the perspective of the generation born during the Argentine dictatorship. The study recovers the concept of biographical space postulated by Arfuch articulated with Deleuze and Guattari’s notion of plan and Bakhtin’s notion of chronotope.
In Pron's novel, the return of a young writer to Argentina constitutes the turning point that encompasses the story of Alberto's disappearance (2008), that of Alicia, who disappeared in Tucumán (1976), and that of the writer's parents, Iron Guard militants.
In Giglio, the architecture interweaves the story of the character Yo, a writer faced with the impossibility of transforming a love relationship into fiction, that of Ella, a member of the communist party, and that of Nena and her brother after the disappearance of their parents.
Both novels refer to the questions of how to narrate the experience so as to make the historical event visible. The article contributes to the conceptual problematization of the biographical space, the ways of narrating, and guides a reflection to dismantle the relationship between reality and fiction.
Masculinidades en transformación y reconfiguración de las intimidades entre varones del AMBA
Authors: Canevaro Santiago , Castilla María Victoria
Published: January 2025

In recent decades, the constant interweaving between the intimacy of public life and the commodification of privacy has gained major relevance for the social sciences. Likewise, it was pointed out that the ways of thinking about hegemonic masculinities (and their mandates) are plural, in constant dispute (Connell and Messerschmidt, 2005; Archetti, 2003), and affected by economic, social and racial inequalities (Bourgois, 2010; Jiménez, 2004).
In this article, we analyze, from an ethnographic methodology and perspective, the limits and possibilities that men from the AMBA (Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires) find to put their intimacy into practice. Firstly, we reconstruct the place that intimacy has had in the emergence of modernity and the consolidation of the public and private spheres that established a series of oppositions and dualisms and, more contemporaneously, has allowed us to begin to think about a type of overlapping intimacy with the public world (Arfuch, 2005). Secondly, we focus on the ways of thinking about and experiencing intimacies for and by men, and how they are linked to the transformations and disputes in masculine subjectivities.
The dimension of the domestic as well as the sphere of communication of emotions constitute problematic aspects and may be the cause of great discomfort for men in the constitution of new types of masculine identities and subjectivities. The spatial dimension, which involves the management of proximities and the requirements of the labor market, exhibits new modes and an exercise of masculinities that show that they are being tested and resignified in a social context in transformation.

Estimación de la compensación por inflación en la curva de rendimientos de bonos argentinos
Authors: Román Sebastián , Carlevaro Emiliano , Dutto Martín
Published: January 2025

The measurement of inflation expectations is highly relevant for an inflationary economy like Argentina's. This paper estimates the implicit inflation compensation in the yields of Argentine bonds during the inflation targeting period, using the difference between the yields of inflation-adjusted and non-inflation-adjusted Argentine bonds. Under certain conditions, this compensation is an observable measure of inflation expectations with daily frequency. There is high volatility in the compensation in the first half of 2017 and 2018. The compensation systematically registers values higher than the inflation expectations obtained by the BCRA through the market expectations survey (REM). This could suggest the impact of a premium for risk and liquidity, or indicate a possible underestimation of expectations by the REM. At the same time, the estimated compensation is a better predictor of actual inflation than the inflation expected in the REM.

Evaluating the challenges of food access and the factors influencing it among residents of peri-urban areas in Ray Nkonyeni Municipality, Kwazulu-Natal Province, South Africa
Authors: Mbombo-Dweba Tulisiwe Pilisiwe , Lembete Simiso , Sambo Themba Andries
Published: January 2025

This research examines the assessment of food insecurity and its determinants among different provinces in South Africa. A quantitative study design was conducted to assess food insecurity status and its determinants in a peri-urban area, namely Ray Nkonyeni Local Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. Data was collected from 360 systematic, randomly selected households. The results showed that 71.00% of these were food insecure. Food insecurity was more pronounced among older, unemployed, less educated, and low-income respondents. Households with an income of between R4001 and R5000 (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=0.05; 95% confidence interval (95% CI):0.01–0.41) and those with an income ≥R5000 (AOR=0.01; 95% CI:0.00–0.11) had lower odds of experiencing food insecurity compared with those with an income of <R1000. Households with more than one source of income (AOR=2.36; 95% CI:1.07–5.17) were more likely to experience food insecurity than those with a single source of income. Households that participated in food gardening had higher odds (AOR=3.40; 95% CI: 1.45–7.95) of being food insecure than those that did not participate in food gardening. Food insecurity was very high in this peri-urban area. Food insecurity was associated with household income, number of income sources, and participation in food gardening. Policymakers and other stakeholders should focus on these groups with a view to improving household food security.
Understanding advocacy and promoting social equality & justice to support Asian American immigrants: A program evaluation of Kangtai daycare center
Authors: Pan Angelina
Published: January 2025

Within this program evaluation, this study assesses the extent to which Kangtai Adult Daycare Center–through promoting social equality and justice–meets the understanding of advocacy in order to better serve Asian immigrant communities and address underlying issues. I introduced how Asian immigrants are struggling because of the lack of advocacy and denial of services. With my non-profit, the overarching mission is to create a secure environment for Asian immigrants. I am always finding ways to implement advocacy for social equality within the organization to better serve senior participants. The questions that were asked to the participants showed how well the organization connects with other organizations and government agencies. As interviews were conducted, I evaluated the extent to which Kangtai Adult Daycare Center helps with fulfilling these needs to better serve immigrant communities. As the program evaluation came to a conclusion, the organization could see which areas they should focus on in order to help promote advocacy for Asian immigrant communities and address underlying issues through promoting social equality and justice. With the seniors' input, the evaluation of the organization will be effective in finding future improvements on the foundation of not only the Asian immigrants, but also the organization itself.

Published: January 2025

The development of information literacy skills and academic motivation is essential for university students, as these factors significantly contribute to their academic success and engagement. This study examined the effect of information literacy skills of university students on their academic motivation. The study utilized a quantitative and correlational approach, involving 300 students from two faculties including Faculty of Social Sciences and Faculty of Sciences from University of Sargodha across 6 academic departments including 3 departments form each faculty. Data were collected using stratified sampling techniques to ensure balanced representation. Questionnaire was developed to collect data from university students that was administered personally by the researchers. The results indicated no significant gender differences in information literacy skills or academic motivation, suggesting that male and female students have similar levels of these skills when provided with equal educational opportunities. However, significant differences in extrinsic motivation were found between faculties, with Social Sciences students exhibiting higher levels of extrinsic motivation compared to their counterparts in the Sciences. A positive relationship was also identified between information literacy skills and both intrinsic and extrinsic academic motivation, highlighting the importance of these skills in enhancing students' overall motivation. It was recommended that standardized information literacy training should be offered to university students to foster student motivation and skill development.

Authors: Idrees Muhammad , Iqbal Javed , Latif Abdul , Khalid Zia
Published: January 2025

The motivation behind this comprehensive study is twofold, i.e. validation of UTAUT2 for both potential and actual users of IOT as well as proposing the incorporation of blockchain 3.0 (IOTA) and challenges as novel constructs in UTAUT2. This study helps academicians and practitioners understand the antecedents of IOT adoption and underpins the core areas that need attention to foster adoption. The study incorporates 750 plus responses from both actual and potential users of IOT from the entire Pakistan. Three hundred fifty actual users and 400 plus potential users participated in the study and analyzed using Smart PLS. Performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, price value, and challenges were strong predictors of usage. However, effort expectancy was a strong predictor of actual user adoption, and IOTA was a significant predictor in the case of potential user adoption. The study of the IOT market in Pakistan is pivotal owing to its enormous potential and interest in IOT manufacturers. Our study serves as a useful guide for practitioners in the allocation of marketing budgets and designing of IOT products. This study expands the extant UTAUT2 by incorporating novel variables relevant to the upcoming decade.

Authors: Sismanto Sismanto , Siswanto Siswanto , Djalaluddin Ahmad , Andriani Sri , Rikza Abdullah
Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the motives of Muslim entrepreneurs in implementing mujāhadah (spiritual struggle) in their culinary business practices, using Alfred Schutz's phenomenological perspective. The study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, focusing on Lubna Cake & Cafe in East Kutai. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis to explore the "because of" and "in order to" motives that influence business decisions. The findings reveal that past experiences, family background, and spiritual beliefs shape the “because of motives” that affect business practices, such as work ethic and dedication in managing the business. Meanwhile, the "in order to motives" reflect long-term aspirations, such as business expansion, improving employee welfare, and making positive social contributions to the surrounding community. This study provides theoretical contributions to understanding the integration of Islamic values in business and offers practical references for Muslim entrepreneurs seeking to combine spiritual values with sustainable business success. The findings also serve as a guide for researchers and practitioners to further explore the application of Islamic values in broader business contexts.

Published: January 2025

This study aims to analyze the factors that cause fluctuations in the supply of basic necessities at Toko Ijo, Sangatta, East Kalimantan, throughout 2023. The research method used is qualitative with a descriptive approach, which aims to comprehensively examine changes in the level of supply of basic necessities. Research data was obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation to explore information about goods ordering policies, sales strategies, and challenges faced in stock management. The results of the study show that fluctuations in the supply of basic necessities at Toko Ijo are influenced by internal and external factors. External factors include the harvest season, seasonal demand during Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr, as well as the availability of supply from distributors. Meanwhile, internal factors include stock management and store operating costs. Data analysis shows that there is a fluctuating trend in the supply of goods, especially rice, throughout the year. The decline in supply occurred in the first quarter due to the famine season, while the increase occurred in the second quarter in line with the harvest season and a surge in demand ahead of Ramadan. The third quarter showed a decline again, while the fourth quarter tended to be stable and increased ahead of the year-end holidays.

Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Although physical activity is an important outcome in patients with chronic respiratory disease, it has not been characterised in those with non-tuberculous mycobacterial pulmonary disease (NTM-PD). This study aimed to evaluate physical
activity and its associated factors in patients with NTM-PD.

METHODS
This prospective observational study measured daily step counts using an accelerometer to assess physical activity (steps per day). We investigated serum C-reactive
protein (CRP), incremental shuttle walk test distance (ISWD), Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ), modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) dyspnoea scale, and chronic cough and sputum symptoms (CCS). Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of CCS, and their
physical activity were compared. The association between physical activity and these variables was examined using multivariate analysis.

RESULTS
We included 131 patients, with a median daily step count of 3,960. Patients with CCS had
significantly lower daily step counts than those without CCS (3,426 vs 4,567). Daily step count significantly correlated with age, mMRC dyspnoea grade, CRP level, ISWD, and LCQ. Multiple regression analysis showed that the daily step count was significantly associated with ISWD and CCS.

CONCLUSIONS
These
results suggest that CCS should be considered when assessing physical activity in patients with NTM-PD.
Predictive value of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in severe pulmonary infection: sex-specific cut-off values needed
Authors: Wang X. , Han F. , Yang Y. , Zhao Y.
Published: January 2025

OBJECTIVE
To assess the predictive value of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio, and systemic immune inflammation index in severe post-operative pulmonary infection in haemorrhagic stroke patients based on sex.

METHODS
This
retrospective study included 193 male and 129 female patients with haemorrhagic stroke and post-operative pulmonary infection. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression models were used to determine the association between inflammatory markers from peripheral blood counts and severe
pulmonary infection in these patients.

RESULTS
The proportions of severe pulmonary infections in male and female patients were respectively 35.8% and 24.8%, with a significant difference. Among female haemorrhagic stroke patients, the
results of the multivariate logistic regression model showed that the NLR on the third post-operative day (≥9.17) was associated with severe pulmonary infection. Among male haemorrhagic stroke patients, the results of the multivariate logistic regression model showed that NLR on the first
post-operative day (≥13.28) and NLR on the third post-operative day (≥8.85) were associated with severe pulmonary infection.

CONCLUSIONS
The predictive values of NLR for post-operative severe pulmonary infection varied among haemorrhagic
stroke patients of different sexes. However, a higher NLR on the third post-operative day was associated with severe pulmonary infection in both male and female patients with haemorrhagic stroke.

Authors: Ayalew S. , Wegayehu T. , Wondale B. , Alemayehu D.H. , Kebede D. , Osman M. , Niway S. , Piantadosi A. , Mihret A.
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Existing TB diagnostic tests rely on sputum samples, which can be difficult to collect from all patients. This study examines plasma Mycobacterium tuberculosis cell-free DNA (Mtb cfDNA) based quantitative PCR (qPCR) assay for
the diagnosis of pulmonary TB (PTB).

METHODS
The qPCR assay targeted insertion sequence (IS6110), cyp141, and devR genes on plasma samples from 106 PTB patients and 60 controls. Sensitivity was calculated using the
Xpert® MTB/RIF test, culture, and clinical diagnosis for the PTB group, while specificity was determined based on results from controls.

RESULTS
Among PTB cases, 92 (86.8%) were bacteriologically confirmed, with the remaining
14 (13.2%) diagnosed clinically. The sensitivity of the plasma Mtb cfDNA assay, considering all three genes, was 71.7% (95% CI 62.6–71.7) for all PTB cases, with higher sensitivity in bacteriologically confirmed cases (78.3%) than in clinically diagnosed cases (28.6%). The combined specificity
was 91.7%. The combination of IS6110 and cyp141 targeted qPCR demonstrated a sensitivity of 70.8%, and IS6110 and devR showed a sensitivity of 69.8%. However, devR and cyp141 resulted in a lower sensitivity of 63.2%. IS6110 and cyp141
had sensitivities of respectively 59.4% and 60.4%, while devR had 53.8%.

CONCLUSION
Targeting multiple genes for plasma Mtb cfDNA-based TB diagnosis improves sensitivity and could be an important addition to current sputum-based
diagnostic approaches.
TB prevalence is higher among smokers
Authors: Prathiksha G. , Newtonraj A. , Thiruvengadam K. , Frederick A. , Selvaraju; S.
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Population-based surveys are crucial for understanding smoking and TB epidemiology.

METHODS
A sub-national cross-sectional survey was conducted among individuals aged ≥15 years
in 180 clusters in Southern India.

RESULTS
Among 130,914 participants included for analysis, 117,091 were non-smokers, 5,410 were past smokers, and 8,413 were current smokers. Sixty-two (0.7%) participants in the current smoking group,
31 (0.6%) participants in the past smoking group, and 151 (0.1%) participants in the non-smoking group were diagnosed with microbiologically confirmed pulmonary TB (MCPTB). The crude prevalence ratio (cPR) of MCPTB in the smoking population was 4.33 (95% CI 3.30–5.68, P < 0.01).
The adjusted PR (aPR) of MCPTB among the smoking population for the 31–45-years age group was 4.38 (95% CI 0.96–20.04); among those aged 46–60 years, this was 9.69 (95% CI 2.29–40.91); and among those aged >60 years, it was 11.59 (95% CI 2.74–49.05). The aPR
among those with a body mass index of <16.50 kg/m2, was 13.18 (95% CI 5.46–31.86). The aPR among those with alcohol use was 2.43 (95% CI 1.10–5.35), and 3.19 (95% CI 1.79–5.69) among those with a history of TB.

CONCLUSION
The
prevalence of MCPTB in smokers is significantly higher than in non-smokers. Increasing age, undernutrition, alcohol use, and history of PTB were strongly associated with PTB among smoking participants.

Authors: Muzanyi G. , Ntale M. , Salata R. , Joloba M. , Mukonzo J. , Mafigiri D. , Mubiri P. , Bbosa G.
Published: January 2025

BACKGROUND
Sputum culture is the gold standard for diagnosing TB disease and confirming treatment outcomes. However, the turnaround time is 6–8 weeks, which leads to delays in decision-making regarding the care of TB patients.

OBJECTIVE
To
evaluate isoniazid hair drug levels as a predictor of sputum culture conversion at 8 weeks of TB treatment.

METHODS
We enrolled 56 TB patients and started them on treatment. We collected sputum and hair samples at baseline and Weeks 4,
8, and 26. Sputum culture was done on solid and liquid media. The hair drug levels assay was done using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

RESULTS
We excluded 22 participants (8 with contaminated cultures, 10 were unable
to produce sputum, and 4 missed the Week 8 visit). Of the remaining 28, about 24 (86%) were TB sputum culture-negative with a median hair drug level of 0.0514 ng/ml (IQR 0.1165–0.0314), and 4 (14.1%) were TB culture-positive, with a median hair drug level of 0.0192 (IQR 0.0267–0.0132).

CONCLUSION
A
median isoniazid hair level of ≥0.05 ng/ml may be predictive of sputum culture conversion by the end of the intensive phase of TB treatment.

Considerado um tema basilar para a educação profissional, esse princípio visa a superação da dicotomia entre a atividade intelectual e a atividade produtiva, no desenvolvimento educativo dos estudantes trabalhadores. Nesse sentido, objetiva-se discutir as possibilidades de adoção da pesquisa como princípio pedagógico no processo de ensino-aprendizagem, bem como identificar os seus impactos na Educação Profissional e Técnica de Nível Médio. Como suporte teórico principal para a Pesquisa como Princípio Pedagógico, considera-se as discussões de Demo (2000), Educação Integrada ao Médio, as ideias propostas por Ramos (2008), e as Teorias de aprendizagem sociointeracionistas elencadas por Vigostski. Ainda, à luz da teoria histórico-crítica de Libâneo, tomamos a educação como uma perspectiva social, constituída de significação e promotora de transformações. Dessa forma, argumenta-se que o processo de pesquisa, enquanto atividade educativa social, precisa se constituir como um elemento fundamental da Educação Básica Integrada ao Técnico, tanto na formação geral, quanto na formação profissional dos educandos.

Introdução: A cloroquina e a Hidroxicloroquina são derivados de quinino utilizados no tratamento de malária, doenças reumatológicas e dermatológicas. O uso prolongado dessas medicações precipita o surgimento de doenças na visão como maculopatias, as quais estão relacionadas com a dose e o tempo de uso dos derivados do quinina. Objetivo: Analisar os principais achados relacionados à toxicidade macular associada ao uso prolongado de cloroquina e hidroxicloroquina, com ênfase nos métodos diagnósticos, alterações estruturais e funcionais, e estratégias de monitoramento clínico. Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática na base de dados PubMed, abrangendo estudos publicados entre 2019 e 2024. Foram incluídos artigos originais, revisões e relatos de caso que abordassem toxicidade macular em pacientes sob uso dessas medicações. Resultados: Os métodos diagnósticos mais relatados foram a tomografia de coerência óptica (OCT) e a microperimetria, que demonstraram alta sensibilidade para detecção precoce de alterações maculares. A prevalência de toxicidade variou entre 12% e 18%, com maior incidência em pacientes com mais de cinco anos de uso da medicação. Alterações estruturais, como afinamento perifoveal, foram relatadas em 90% dos estudos, enquanto perdas funcionais foram identificadas em até 30% das áreas avaliadas. Conclusão: A toxicidade macular é uma condição progressiva e subdiagnosticada, que exige monitoramento contínuo, especialmente em pacientes com uso prolongado dessas medicações. Mais estudos são necessários para padronizar protocolos e desenvolver ferramentas diagnósticas acessíveis que minimizem os danos permanentes à visão.

Published: January 2025

O Brasil tem buscado reestruturar o sistema ferroviário para otimizar o escoamento da produção, em especial agropecuária e minério de ferro. Nesse sentido, o presente artigo baseia-se em um recorte de tese de doutorado em curso, na Geografia, e objetiva-se discutir impactos de grandes projetos como o do Corredor Oeste de Exportação Nova Ferroeste, no estado do Paraná. Especificamente, abordam-se as reverberações desse projeto sobre o agronegócio e sobre populações mais vulneráveis territorial e culturalmente, como os indígenas residentes em áreas próximas à passagem de novos trilhos. O Paraná foi escolhido como recorte territorial por se constituir na quarta economia do país, ocupar o posto de maior exportador da região Sul, e estar em andamento o ambicioso projeto da nova ferrovia que pretende ligar o Paraná ao Mato Grosso do Sul. A discussão aqui apresentada é de natureza teórico-conceitual, com emprego de metodologia de pesquisa  qualitativa, baseada em revisão bibliográfica e em documentos oficiais. As fontes  consultadas permitem identificar principais implicações sobre a produção, avaliar os impactos socioambientais e analisar resistências e conflitos em torno desse objeto geográfico. Espera-se ainda contribuir com o debate sobre o papel do Estado, no ordenamento territorial desse setor estratégico para a  economia e para o desenvolvimento regional.

Objetivo: Investigar na literatura o que existe publicado com relação à Classificação de Risco (CR) realizada nos setores de Pronto Atendimento (PA) e Serviços de Urgência e Emergência (SUE), utilizando cores. Método: Foi realizada uma Revisão Integrativa utilizando os seguintes descritores: Enfermagem, Triagem, Emergência no Brasil, Acolhimento com Classificação de Risco; aplicando o operador Booleano “and”, nas Seguintes bases de dados: PubMed, Medline, Lilacs e SciElo. Inicialmente, foi realizada uma leitura dos resumos dos estudos encontrados. Foram selecionados artigos nas línguas portuguesa, inglesa e espanhola, publicados à partir de 2019. Os critérios de exclusão aplicados foram artigos que abordassem o tema emergência em pediatria e obstetrícia, artigos duplicados, artigos que não abordassem o tema em questão e publicações que não se enquadrassem como artigo científico. Resultados: Foram encontrados um total de 17 artigos, uma revisão de escopo e os demais artigos originais. Os Serviços de Urgência e Emergência sofrem com a superlotação, gerando atendimentos demorados e pouco resolutivos. O Acolhimento com Classificação de Risco ordena os atendimentos conforme a urgência, priorizando os casos mais graves, objetivando melhor assistência de forma justa e acolhedora. Considerações finais: O Acolhimento com Classificação de Risco se diferencia da triagem pois se caracteriza por uma ação inclusiva que não se esgota na etapa da recepção do usuário, mas deve ocorrer em todos os locais e momentos do atendimento.

Published: January 2025

Introdução: A formação em cirurgia geral por meio da residência médica é uma das modalidades mais antigas e respeitadas no campo da medicina, sendo fundamental para a capacitação de cirurgiões altamente competentes. É de suma importância a constante evolução das diretrizes educacionais e dos procedimentos clínicos, a fim de adequar a residência em cirurgia geral às demandas emergentes da sociedade e às novas tecnologias disponíveis. Objetivo: O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar os processos de ensino-aprendizagem inovadores na residência médica em cirurgia geral. Método: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa de artigos publicados em inglês, espanhol e português sobre as formas de ensino-aprendizagem inovadoras dentro da residência médica em cirurgia geral, a partir da busca em três bases de dados (dados Medline, Lilacs e SciElo). Resultados: as palavras-chave identificadas após busca foram: “Internato e Residência”; “Materiais de Ensino”; “Cirurgia Geral”. A adoção de tecnologias como a cirurgia robótica, a laparoscopia avançada e as simulações em realidade virtual está revolucionando o aprendizado prático dos residentes. Conclusão: Métodos inovadores de ensino são fundamentais para um impacto significativo no processo de aprendizado. É urgentemente necessária a adoção de um modelo pedagógico mais eficiente, que incorpore conceitos contemporâneos e esteja alinhado com as tendências globais, especialmente em relação ao uso crescente da videocirurgia e da inteligência artificial nas especialidades cirúrgicas.

Published: January 2025

Criada no Reino Unido em 1980, como uma forma alternativa para intubações difíceis a Máscara Laríngea logo foi introduzida no atendimento pré-hospitalar. Para garantir um atendimento de qualidade ao paciente sua passagem foi regulamentada para o profissional enfermeiro, gerando resultados positivos na recuperação dos pacientes. O objetivo deste trabalho é demonstrar a importância da utilização da máscara laríngea pelo enfermeiro em situações de emergência. Como metodologia utilizou-se a revisão integrativa da literatura utilizando o método PRISMA. Como resultados obteve-se o melhor prognostico do paciente quanto utilizado a máscara laríngea e que apesar de regulamentada a passagem pelo enfermeiro desde 1986, este n  maioria das vezes não conhece, ou não domina as técnicas necessárias, ou ainda não tem segurança para realizar a passagem da máscara laríngea. Assim pode-se concluir que o profissional de enfermagem necessita dominar as técnicas, conhecer os materiais e ter segurança para realizar o procedimento que traz benefícios a recuperação do paciente.

A sepse é considerada um grave problema de saúde pública estando associada à elevada taxa de morbimortalidade dentro dos serviços de saúde, sendo uma das maiores demandas de atendimento nas Unidades de Pronto Atendimento. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, com o objetivo de avaliar o conhecimento dos profissionais de enfermagem de uma Unidade de Pronto Atendimento de um município do interior de Minas Gerais, acerca da identificação do sinais e sintomas da sepse, realizado no período de abril a julho de 2024. Dos participantes do estudo, 60,8% foram mulheres, 74,5% técnicos em enfermagem, média de idade de 42,3 anos, tempo de formação profissional maior que 15 anos (56,9%), tempo de atuação na unidade entre 01 a 05 anos (39,2%). Referente as questões relacionadas a sepse, quanto a assertividade sobre os conceitos de sepse e choque séptico obteve-se respectivamente 49,0% e 29,4%, 45,1% acertaram sobre as medidas implementadas no pacote inicial e apenas 31,4% acertaram quanto as medidas implementadas no pacote de 6 horas da sepse. Os principais sinais e sintomas da sepse referidos foram a taquicardia (90,2%), a hipertermia (88,2%) e a hipotensão arterial (64,7%). Obteve-se também que 68,4% dos participantes do estudo nunca participaram de capacitação que abordasse a temática da sepse. Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram um baixo conhecimento e fragilidade dos profissionais de enfermagem sobre a temática da sepse. Torna-se necessário capacitar os profissionais de enfermagem para o enfrentamento da sepse, contribuindo para a melhoria na identificação, controle, prevenção e qualificação do cuidado assistencial.
A formação profissional de trabalhadores em cursos a distância: a constituição da rede e-tec Brasil no cenário das políticas públicas de educação profissional no Brasil
Authors: Almeida Guenther Carlos de
Published: January 2025

A Rede e-Tec Brasil, regulamentada pelo Decreto n.º 7.589, 26 de outubro de 2011, oferta educação profissional a distância. Quanto ao objetivo geral, esta investigação buscou identificar e analisar as características fundamentais de organização e gestão da política pública de educação profissional e tecnológica a distância (Rede e-Tec Brasil) de uma instituição de Educação Profissional. Como eixos orientadores do referencial teórico, estes foram: a) a dualidade estrutural na educação profissional brasileira nos escritos de Kuenzer (1991) e Melo e Moura (2016); b) Educação profissional a Distância no Brasil Costa (2015) e c) Trabalho docente e Educação a distância no Brasil Silva Júnior e Martins (2013). Propôs-se assim uma investigação ancorada no materialismo histórico-dialético de Marx, tendo como procedimento metodológico a análise documental, Da análise dos dados empíricos, emergiram duas categorias: a) Caracterização da política Rede e-Tec Brasil; b) Aspectos formais e estruturais da Rede e-Tec Brasil; Conclui-se, portanto, que a organização desta política de EaD fragmentou a ação docente, fragilizando o trabalho pedagógico por aplicação do trabalho com bolsistas.
