Psychographic profiling: a method for developing relatable avatars for a direct-to-consumer serious game for Indian adolescent girls on mobile. (Preprint)
Authors: Raj Aparna , Quilter Isabel , Howard Susan
Published: November 2020

BACKGROUND

Psychographic profiling is a method of revealing the attitudes, behaviors, and lifestyles of a sample population that in turn affects their responses to interventions. Dividing populations based on demographics is a research method that has supported targeted behavioral interventions in the past, yet certain traditional approaches have failed to address underlying factors that drive behaviors.

OBJECTIVE

We applied psychographic profiling as a research method in developing a direct-to-consumer mobile game targeting adolescent girls in India. This project, A Game of Choice, Not Chance (GOC), aims to engage girls in an interactive mobile game that equips players to navigate situations that affect their personal agency, including professional skill-building and health management.

METHODS

Researchers presented participants (Indian girls ages 15-19) with four pictures of Indian adolescent girls in different situations. Responding to the stimuli, participants expressed attitudes toward the relationships, lifestyles, aspirations, and personal agency of the girls in the images. Responses were coded to identify themes in lifestyles and attitudes that were reflective of the target audience.

RESULTS

Analysis revealed seven primary factors that influence the participants aspirations and agency: 1) clarity regarding career goals; 2) information about the pathways to reach those goals; 3) efforts towards achieving goals; 4) clarity about priorities; 5) parental support; 6) ability and willingness to negotiate; and 7) social mobility. Based on combinations of these themes, four predominant ‘personality profiles’ emerged as descriptive categories of girls’ lives and attitudes.

CONCLUSIONS

Psychographic profiling is an effective method of audience segmentation that enhances insight into the attitudes, values, and beliefs of the target population. These four themes will form the basis of the GOC game, informing the scenarios, in-game decisions, and content that are relatable. This study represents a novel approach to research for an equally innovative game for agency-building and health awareness among adolescents.

Lições do abismo: reflexões sobre teologia, mística e poesia em Rubem Alves
Authors: Campos Breno Martins , Mariani Ceci Maria Costa Baptista
Published: November 2020

A resistência à mística no protestantismo histórico brasileiro pode ser observada na realidade da maior parte de suas igrejas e denominações. Na contramão desse modelo hegemônico, este artigo traz à memória a fi gura de Rubem Alves como um autor que enriqueceu a tradição teológica latino-americana da libertação com uma obra que pode ser considerada teopoética. Em sua vertente mística, a teologia do protestante Rubem Alves encontrou na poesia a forma privilegiada de expressão, a linguagem que propicia a expressão da experiência espiritual do mistério que se dá no corpo. A mística que se encontra na teopoética de Rubem Alves caracteriza-se por uma maneira interessante de lidar com o desejo: sem negar o corpo, entende que a realização humana supõe uma ascese do desejo, isto é, um processo em que a vivência de si como ser desejante encontra-se sempre tensionada pela percepção do Vazio originário, o Mistério inefável e inominável que habita a profundidade do humano, o fundo da alma. Para alcançar a dimensão que a discussão merece e para atingir os objetivos epistemológicos propostos, este artigo, situado no âmbito da pesquisa sobre a linguagem da experiência religiosa, especificamente relacionada à compreensão da mística como crítica, utiliza-se de abordagem teórica e qualitativa, e se fundamenta no levantamento e estudo bibliográficos e seus suportes.
Oralidade no Evangelho de Marcos
Authors: Sanches Sidney De Moraes
Published: November 2020

Este artigo tem por assunto a oralidade no Evangelho de Marcos. Seu objetivo primário é apontar para o substrato oral do texto escrito marcano, e o secundário é propor modos de observação das marcas da oralidade nele. Para isso me valho dos estudos sobre a tradição oral de Jan Vansina; sobre a oralidade de Werner Kelber e James Dunn; sobre a transmissão oral de Kenneth Bailey. Acrescento a contribuição da análise da narrativa (narrative analysis), focalizando o plano narrativo como meio complementar para o exame do relato oral. Apresento, como exemplo, o episódio de cura da mulher com hemorragias. Concluo, com James Dunn, que é possível reconhecer os vestígios de oralidade no texto marcano. E que esses servem para preencher o espaço entre Jesus e as primeiras transcrições e edições da tradição oral, cujo primeiro exemplar está no Evangelho de Marcos.
O aborto seletivo como caminho para o infanticídio
Authors: Westphal Euler Renato , Ferretti Junior Arlindo
Published: November 2020

Em muitos países é possível optar pelo aborto em caso de diagnóstico de anomalias fetais. Alguns intelectuais, como Peter Singer, Francesca Minerva e Alberto Giubilini, entendem e defendem, com base em uma visão ética utilitarista, que sob a mesma justificativa o infanticídio se torna moralmente correto. Tais filósofos são claros em suas conclusões, e é nesse contexto que o presente artigo propõe discutir algumas das consequências dessa visão de mundo. Utilizando o método bibliográfico, procuramos dar forma à discussão, apresentando o caso da Síndrome de Down. Aludindo à impossibilidade, sob a justificativa utilitarista, de defender o aborto e rejeitar o infanticídio, como proposto por Henrik Friberg-Fernros, apresentamos a perspectiva humanista, em diálogo com Jürgen Habermas e Hannah Arendt, como contraposição ao relativismo ético. Os autores deste artigo concluem que, se moralmente aceito, como forma de eliminação do sofrimento e garantia da qualidade de vida, o aborto seletivo abre caminho para a viabilidade moral do infanticídio.
O ESPÍRITO DE PENTECOSTES EM GERTRUDES DE HELFTA: LEITURA PNEUMATOLÓGICA DE UMA MÍSTICA ALEMÃ DO SÉC. XIII
Authors: Maçaneiro Marcial
Published: November 2020

A beneditina Gertrudes, conhecida como “magna”, nasceu na cidade de Eisleben, Alemanha, em 1256; transcorreu a maior parte de sua vida no mosteiro de Helfta, nas cercanias da mesma cidade, onde faleceu em 1302. Dotada de inteligência e sensibilidade, com 25 anos de idade passou por um processo de conversão: deixou a avidez pelas Artes Liberais e iniciou uma intensa experiência do amor de Deus (divina pietas) – donde o título de sua obra-mestra Legatus divinae pietatis (Mensageiro do amor divino), seguida pelos Exercitia spiritualia (Exercícios espirituais). De postura cristocêntrica, Gertrudes enaltece a graça divina sobre todo mérito individual. Sua obra alcançou grande infl uência no Ocidente, com muitas reedições, a partir do século XV. Neste estudo, apresentamos os traços fundamentais de seu itinerário místico, para concentrar-nos em seguida em sua experiência do Espírito Santo. Procedemos a uma leitura pneumatológica do Legatus divinae pietatis, para recolher e expor teologicamente a contemplação trinitária do Paráclito em Gertrudes, sua recepção dos sete dons santifi cantes, os carismas que manifesta e, por fi m, sua experiência do novo Pentecostes. Além das fontes bíblicas, litúrgicas e patrísticas muito citadas, Gertrudes testemunha uma peculiar e feminina experiência do Espírito que consola, instrui e renova sua pessoa integralmente. A análise dos textos revela-nos uma pneumatologia narrativa e vivencial, que, em alguns aspectos, antecede as características do avivamento pentecostal moderno.

A REVOLTA DE CANUDOS: POSSÍVEIS REFLEXÕES ENTRE MESSIANISMO, MOVIMENTO SOCIAL E PSICOPATOLOGIA PELA NÃO CONFIGURAÇÃO DA VIOLÊNCIA RELIGIOSA NA CONTEMPORANEIDADE1
Authors: Chaves Flavio Da Silva
Published: November 2020

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo pensar a violência religiosa a partir da Revolta dos Canudos, indagando se o elemento religioso envolvido nesta revolta tem características messiânicas ou é uma patologia em nome de Deus.  A análise será feita a partir de três questionamentos: o primeiro, indaga-se sobre o que é a Revolta dos Canudos. Aqui se pretende descortinar sua história, o pensamento do seu líder, o fator motivacional que desencadeou a guerra, bem como a intrincada relação com as revelações messiânicas. No segundo, pergunta-se sobre o que é Psicopatologia. Neste momento, a pesquisa se dará no campo da psicose que, hipoteticamente, pode desenvolver comportamentos que se desdobram em atos de violência em nome de supostas revelações religiosas. Por último, a pergunta: qual o limite entre atos messiânicos e as patologias em nome de Deus? Neste tópico apresenta-se a linha tênue da religião entre os elementos de inclusão social, promovida no acampamento e, de igual forma, para perpetuar a visão, os atos de violência, em nome de Deus.
Old Believers Wanderers in the Second Half of the 19th — Early 20th Century (Based upon Reports of Kargopol Missionaries)
Authors:   Petrozavodsk State University (Russia), Pulkin Maxim
Published: November 2020

The article discusses the patterns of everyday life of the Old Believerswanderers in the territory of Kargopol district of the Olonets province. It draws upon new archival materials of church and secular origin, as well as a number of significant works by the missionaries. The study explores peculiarities of the wanderers’ worldview, the forms and methods of their preaching activity, and the structure of their communities. The wonderers’ teaching was deeply eschatological, which led to a complete break with “the world of Antichrist”. The study provides a detailed description of the everyday life of the wanderers. An important feature in the life of these communities was constant and intensive ties between territories where their co-religionists were present. Particular attention is paid to the problems of mutual perception and confrontation between the wanderers and government representatives (police and clergy). The wanderers’ activities, in spite of their eschatological attitudes, showed in fact their intense involvement with the outside world.
Sectarian, Missionary, Philanthropist: Microhistory of the Orenburg Sabbaterian Pyotr Maklakov
Authors:   Orenburg State Pedagogical University (Russia), Zarutsky Anton
Published: November 2020

Drawing upon materials from the State Archive of the Orenburg Region, the article reconstructs the biography, religious views and practices of the peasant Pyotr Maklakov, who “dropped out of Orthodoxy into the Sabbaterian sect” and actively propagated “the Jewish faith” among the inhabitants of the Orenburg district in the late 19th — early 20th centuries. Particular attention is paid to the reasons for such “deviation” (conversion) to Judaizers, the methods of spreading Judaism among the peasants, discussions between the followers of the Sabbaterian sect and Christian Orthodoxy, the circumstances of bringing the sectarian to legal responsibility. The author traces the evolution of religious practices of Pyotr Maklakov and his inner circle. Since he was twice prosecuted by secular and ecclesiastical authorities with an interval of ten years, the archival documents reflect the gradual transition of the sectarian from a “Jewish faith,” spontaneously reconstructed from Christian sources, to Orthodox Judaism with its normative practices and prayer in Hebrew according to Siddur. The author also shows a contradictory combination of normative Jewish practices with active missionary activity unusual for rabbinical Judaism.

Authors: Yuliani Euis Nina Saparina , Setianingrum Ajeng Yeni , Kholil Muhammad
Published: November 2020

A product or technology is perceived easily in case it has a high level of usability. This means users have no difficulties or encounter problems while using. The purpose of this study is to conduct usability testing of vision sensor-based working time measurement technology. It is meant to determine the ability of the technology to conduct work time measurement functions with the same results as the conventional process using a stopwatch. The study involves an experimental method with two factors. Based on the results of the ANOVA Two-Way Analysis (within-subject design), the first and second levels in apparatus factor shows there is no difference in the average value of the cycle time between work measurements with and without the vision sensor technology (Fobtained(4,1) < Fcritical(5,12)). Therefore, the technology designed is capable of measuring the same work as manual measurement.

Published: November 2020

Objective: Across the DPP follow-up, cumulative diabetes incidence
remained lower in the lifestyle compared to placebo and metformin randomized
groups and could not be explained by weight. Collection of self-reported PA (yearly)
with cross-sectional objective PA (in follow-up) allowed for examination of PA and its long-term impact on
diabetes prevention.

Research Design and Methods: Yearly self-reported PA and diabetes
assessment, OGTT, (fasting glucose semi-annually) was collected for 3232
participants with one accelerometry assessment 11-13 years after randomization
(n=1,793). Mixed models determined PA differences across treatment groups. The
association between PA and diabetes incidence was examined using Cox
proportional hazards models.

Results: There was a 6% decrease (Cox proportional HR 0.94 [0.92, 0.96];
P< 0.001) in diabetes incidence per 6 MET-hrs/week increase in
time-dependent PA for the entire cohort over an average 12 years (controlled
for age, sex, baseline PA and weight). The effect of PA was greater (12%
decrease) among participants less active at baseline (<7.5 MET-hrs/week)
(n=1338; HR 0.88 [0.83, 0.93] P<0.0001) with stronger findings for lifestyle
participants. Lifestyle had higher
cumulative PA compared with metformin or placebo (p<0.0001) and higher
accelerometry total minutes/day measured in follow-up (P=0.001 and 0.047). All
associations remained significant with weight in the models.

Conclusions: PA was
inversely related to incident diabetes in the entire cohort across the study
with cross-sectional accelerometry results supporting these findings. This
highlights the importance of PA within lifestyle intervention efforts designed
to prevent diabetes and urge health-care providers to consider both PA and
weight when counseling high-risk patients.

Published: November 2020

The kinetics of catalytic alkylation of 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol (ArOH) with methyl acrylate (MA) in the presence of potassium 2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxide (ArOK) depends on the method for the preparation of ArOK. The reaction of ArOH with KOH at temperatures > 453 K affords monomeric ArOK, which properties differ from those in the case of potassium 2,6-di-tert-butylphenoxide synthesized by the earlier methods. The regularities of ArOH alkylation depend on the ArOK concentration, the ArOH:MA ratio, and the effect of microadditives of polar solvents.

The possibility of chemical modification of ED-24 epoxy resin peroxy derivative (PDER) by C9H4F16O fluorine-containing alcohol-telomer (FAT-C9) has been shown using 18-Crown and ZnCl2 catalytic system. The effect of catalyst amount, temperature and process time on the reaction rate has been studied. New peroxy oligomer containing fluorine atoms (FPO) has been synthesized and characterized. The FPO structure has been confirmed by IR-spectroscopy. It has been proposed to use FPO as an active additive to the polymeric mixes based on ED-20 industrial epoxy resin and TGM-3 oligoesteracrylate.
27 Weeks Abdominal Pregnancy wıth Mısdıagnosed at the Fırst Center, A Case Report
Authors: ERİN Recep , TEZEL Kadri , ISAK Ahmed , AHMED Samira , KUŞAK Mustafa
Published: November 2020

Abdominal pregnancy is a potentially life threatening form of ectopic gestation and is seen in 1% of all ectopic pregnancies. It’s a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality and the potential mortality can be reduced seriously with early diagnosis and treatment. It is rarely seen in advanced pregnancy weeks due to detectability on ultrasonography in early weeks. We aimed to present a rare, misdiagnosed, abdominal pregnancy. We present a case of 20 years old primigravida with 27 weeks abdominal pregnancy who presented at the emergency room with abdominal pain and minimal vaginal bleeding. She was referred from another hospital after 2 days failed induction for incorrect diagnosis of intrauterine dead fetus. The ultrasonography was performed and seen a normal uterus with no intrauterine pregnancy but seen a single extra uterine fetus with 27 weeks gestational age lying in the peritoneal cavity on the right side. We managed successfully with laparotomy. Abdominal pregnancy is rare, and successful management depends on a high index of suspicion. Ultrasonography and serial human chorionic gonadotrophin may help in the diagnosis. Teamwork, a multidisciplinary approach and expert opinion cannot be overemphasised to ensure successful management of these cases.

Published: November 2020

Antioxidant is a chemical compound that could give one or more electrons to inhibit the free radical reaction. One of the plants that potentially produce antioxidants is purnajiwa (Euchresta horsfieldii (Lesch.) Benn.). The research was conducted using the fruit of purnajiwa. The purpose of this study is to know antioxidant activity from purnajiwa fruit using the DPPH method and measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The extract of purnajiwa fruit gained by the maceration method using 96% ethanol solvent. The results of phytochemistry screening found out that the extract contains flavonoid, alkaloid, saponin, tannin, and terpenoid. According to flavonoid testing using quercetin, the results obtained from purnajiwa extract contained flavonoid of 1,651 mg QE/g. The activity test of antioxidants quantitatively by DPPH using UV-Vis spectrophotometry found out that purnajiwa extract has IC50 value of 57,28 ppm so that purnajiwa extract has strong antioxidant activity that could be used as natural antioxidant resources.
Acute psychotic symptoms caused by overlapping central nervous system pathologies: a case report
Authors: Uğurlu Görkem Karakaş , Uğurlu Mustafa , Kılıç Meltem , Apaydın Zuhal Koç , Çayköylü Ali
Published: November 2020

Background:

In some medical cases, psychotic symptoms can be part of the clinical picture, and sometimes it can even be the only clinical appearance of the medical condition. Psychotic disorders secondary to organic pathologies affecting the central nervous system are called psychotic disorders due to a general medical condition. While some of these secondary causes can easily be detected by laboratory and imaging methods, anamnesis or neurological examination (substance use, trauma, and tumors), others are often overlooked in the presence of rare medical conditions (autoimmune disease and viral encephalitis), when laboratory and examination findings are not clear and psychiatric symptoms are in the foreground.

Case Presentation:

In this case, we tried to reveal the differential diagnosis and treatment processes of a patient who was admitted to the emergency department with psychotic symptoms, such as agitation, aggression, and paranoid delusions, and was admitted to the psychiatry clinic after an urgent medical evaluation. After his admission to the psychiatry clinic, the medical evaluation of the patient was re-evaluated in detail due to memory and orientation deterioration, and as a result, clinical pictures such as Hashimoto’s encephalopathy, herpes encephalitis, and epileptic seizures were found to be together in the patient. As a matter of fact, both general medical and psychiatric statuses of the patient improved with the application of low doses and short-term antipsychotic treatment for psychiatric symptoms together with the treatment for this underlying general medical condition.

Conclusion:

Since the treatment of psychiatric symptoms caused by secondary medical factors is quite different from the treatment of primary psychiatric disorders, it is important to make full medical evaluations, especially in patients presenting with psychiatric symptoms for the first time or presenting with emergency psychiatric symptoms.
A rare endocrine manifestation of Down syndrome: central precocious puberty: three cases report
Authors: Güven Ayla , Cebeci Ayse Nurcan
Published: November 2020

Background:

Although peripheral precocious puberty has been reported due to untreated long-standing hypothyroidism in children with Down syndrome (DS), central precocious puberty (CPP) has been scarcely reported. The aim of this study is to describe our experience with this rare condition.

Case presentation:

Three patients (two males and one female) who were receiving treatment for hypothyroidism and admitted with signs of precocious puberty were recruited in the study. Clinical and laboratory findings were compatible with CPP in all three patients with DS. They were euthyroid during investigations for CPP. A male patient had periventricular millimetric focuses in the supratentorial region in cranial magnetic resonance imaging. The other male patient developed central adrenal insufficiency during fallow-up and hence hydrocortisone was added to the treatment. All patients were successfully treated with gonadotropinreleasing hormone analogs; no adverse efects have been observed.

Conclusion:

Our findings emphasize that CPP might be seen in rare cases with DS and hypothyroidism.
Infeção por Vírus Chikungunya: Revisão para Clínicos
Authors: Cerol Marta , Cezarino Giovana , Ferrinho Paulo , Teodósio Rosa
Published: November 2020

O vírus Chikungunya é um alfavírus re-emergente que tem como vetor mosquitos do género Aedes. É endémico em África e, nos últimos anos, propagou-se para o Oceano Índico, Ásia e Américas, onde causou vários grandes surtos. Desde 2007 têm-se verificado pequenos surtos com transmissão autóctone no sul da Europa, dada a expansão do Aedes albopictus para este território. Causa doença aguda caracterizada por febre, cefaleia, exantema e artralgia. A artralgia pode progredir e tornar-se persistente. As manifestações atípicas, severas, mas raras, incluem patologia do sistema nervoso central. Está associada a morbilidade por persistência da artralgia, e a mortalidade. O diagnóstico é feito por reação em cadeia da polimerase ou por pesquisa de anticorpos IgM e IgG. Não existe terapêutica antiviral eficaz, sendo recomendado tratamento de suporte para alívio sintomático. As estratégias de controlo do vetor são o único método disponível para controlar os mosquitos do género Aedes em meio urbano.
Effect of Age at Menarche on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Incidence and Anterior Knee Laxity in Collegiate Athletes
Authors: Froehle Andrew , Cox Joseph , May Jedediah , Grannis Kimberly , Duren Dana
Published: November 2020

Female athletes suffer painful, costly, and career-limiting non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries more often than males. Previous research suggests that pubertal neuromusculoskeletal development contributes to this sex-bias, but the manner in which variation in pubertal development affects injury risk within females is poorly understood. Age at menarche is a variable, significant pubertal developmental event, signaling the onset of estrogen cycling and affecting musculoskeletal development. Earlier menarche may increase injury risk, possibly by increasing anterior knee laxity through prolonged estrogen exposure. The purpose of this case-control study was to test the primary hypothesis that collegiate athletes with previous ACL injuries have earlier age at menarche than their uninjured peers, and to test the secondary hypothesis that earlier menarche is related to greater anterior knee laxity in injured and uninjured athletes. The study sample consisted of female NCAA Division-I varsity athletes (N=14 injured, N=120 uninjured). Outcome measures included: menstrual history and ACL injury details (injury age, activity at time of injury, contact vs. non-contact), assessed by questionnaire; and anterior knee laxity assessed by KT-1000 arthrometer. Correlation, t-tests, and regression analysis were used to test for associations between age at menarche, injury incidence, and knee laxity. Fourteen athletes reported ≥1 non-contact ACL injury, and had significantly earlier menarche than uninjured athletes (12.6±1.3 y vs. 13.4±1.4 y; P=0.05). Earlier menarche also significantly predicted injury status (Wald c2=7.43; Pb=-1.02±0.37; OR=0.36; 95% CI:0.17-0.75), but was not correlated with anterior knee laxity. Within injured athletes, however, laxity in the unaffected knee was significantly related to time since menarche (r2=0.79, Pr2=0.72, P
An Exploration of Mosston’s Spectrum of Teaching Styles in Athletic Training Education
Authors: Ross Dominique , Pascale Aimee
Published: November 2020

Athletic training educators teach in didactic, laboratory and clinical settings, all requiring an array of pedagogical strategies to effectively instruct students. Mosston’s Spectrum of Teaching Styles is a theoretical framework to support pedagogical decision making in physical education. The purpose of the commentary is to examine teaching styles from Mosston’s Spectrum in the context of athletic training education. A general introduction, review of comparative literature and practical application to athletic training education is provided for each of the eleven teaching styles. The examination and application of educational theory from other disciplines may provide athletic training educators additional resources to enhance student learning.
