Les activités d’Adl Wal Ihssane dans les quartiers.Comment construire un consensus « non légal » à partir d’un conflit « toléré »
Authors: Yafout Merieme
Published: September 2017

À partir de l’observation des activités menées par les femmes membres du mouvement islamiste marocain Al Adl Wal Ihssane (AWI) au niveau d’un quartier, cet article analyse la conception du développement portée par ce mouvement et essaie de répondre à la question suivante: comment des visions contradictoires du développement (celle d’AWI, celle des autorités, celle d’autres acteurs associatifs) cohabitent au sein d’un même quartier, et ce que les interactions entre ces différents acteurs nous disent des modes de gouvernement à l’échelle locale? La prise en considération des islamistes comme acteurs du développement humain et de l’éducation religieuse et la spiritualité comme éléments importants de ce développement, montre la complexité des rapports sociaux et politiques que le mouvement islamiste entretient avec le pouvoir et avec la société toute entière. Les interactions du mouvement islamiste avec les différents acteurs locaux, met en évidence une dialectique entre conflit et consensus autour d’un modèle hégémonique « occidental » du développement. Cette dialectique laisse s’exprimer d’autres stratégies qui s’épanouissent dans les activités quotidiennes et d’autres conceptions de ce que serait une « bonne » conduite de vie. Intentionnelles ou non, les stratégies de décharge, de différenciation, de discrétion, de concurrence ou de conformité, et les modes alternatifs de gouvernement et de conduite de vie que cet article a souligné, montrent que les rapports entre les différents acteurs ne peuvent se réduire à un conflit ou à un consensus, et que leurs comportements ne peuvent être expliqués seulement par un rejet ou une acceptation. Le paradigme néolibéral du développement peut constituer à la fois un terrain d’entente et un lieu de conflit entre des modèles de société tout à fait différents.
Guerre et (re)construction de l’État en Afghanistan : conflits de tradition ou conflits de développement ?
Authors: Adelkhah Fariba
Published: September 2017

L’aide étrangère destinée depuis 2001 à la (re)construction de l’État afghan a paradoxalement amplifié l’ethnicisation et la confessionnalisation des rapports économiques et politiques, en totale contradiction avec les critères de bonne gouvernance prônés par les bailleurs de fonds. Les conflits d’apparence traditionnelle ou identitaire se sont multipliés, renvoyant en fait à des contradictions plus fondamentales entre la représentation culturaliste de la société afghane et les effets de l’insertion du pays dans l’économie capitaliste mondiale. Ainsi, le fait de rendre la radicalisation islamique, la polarisation ethnique ou l’atavisme tribal responsables de la violence sociale et politique en Afghanistan dénote d’une vision incomplète de la situation, dans la mesure où celle-ci ne tient pas compte des transformations de la société et des nouveaux enjeux de cette conflictualité supposée traditionnelle.
Identification of genus Acinetobacter : Standardization of in-house PCR and its comparison with conventional phenotypic methods
Authors: Kulkarni Sughosh S. , Madalgi Radhika , Ajantha Ganavalli S. , Kulkarni Raghavendra D.
Published: September 2017

CONTEXT: Acinetobacter is grouped under nonfermenting Gram-negative bacilli. It is increasingly isolated from pathological samples. The ability of this genus to acquire drug resistance and spread in the hospital settings is posing a grave problem in healthcare. Specific treatment protocols are advocated for Acinetobacter infections. Hence, rapid identification and drug susceptibility profiling are critical in the management of these infections.

AIMS: To standardize an in-house polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for identification of genus Acinetobacter and to compare PCR with two protocols for its phenotypic identification.

METHODOLOGY: A total of 96 clinical isolates of Acinetobacter were included in the study. An in-house PCR for genus level identification of Acinetobacter was standardized. All the isolates were phenotypically identified by two protocols. The results of PCR and phenotypic identification protocols were compared.

RESULTS: The in-house PCR standardized was highly sensitive and specific for the genus Acinetobacter. There was 100% agreement between the phenotypic and molecular identification of the genus. The preliminary identification tests routinely used in clinical laboratories were also in complete agreement with phenotypic and molecular identification.

CONCLUSION: The in-house PCR for genus level identification is specific and sensitive. However, it may not be essential for routine identification as the preliminary phenotypic identification tests used in the clinical laboratory reliably identify the genus Acinetobacter.

Published: September 2017

INTRODUCTION: Timely treatment of urinary tract infection (UTI) with appropriate antibiotic administration is of immense importance in children to reduce the consequences.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: The aim and objective of this study was to assess the temporal changes in the microbiological profiles and antimicrobial resistance patterns of uropathogens in pediatric community-acquired UTI.

MATERIAL AND METHODS: This is a retrospective analysis of data collected over a Scattered period of 5 years. The baseline data collected were from January to December 2009, and the second period considered for comparison was from January to December 2014. Urine specimens from children (<17 years) suspected of UTI were cultured by a semi-quantitative method on cysteine lactose electrolyte-deficient medium. Antibiotic sensitivity was put up by Kirby–Bauer disc diffusion method as per the Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute guidelines.

RESULTS: In the year 2009, 340 of 2104 (16.15%) urine specimens yielded significant colony count, whereas in 2014, it was 407 of 2212 (18.39%) (P = 0.051). Escherichia coli was the predominant pathogen and was significantly more prevalent in girls than in boys (P < 0.0001) during both periods. There was a significant overall increase in resistance to ampicillin (from 40.29% to 58.72%), amoxyclav (from 26.17% to 40.54%), nitrofurantoin (from 28.82% to 39.06%), and norfloxacin (from 30% to 41.42%). However, the maximum increase in the resistance was noted for co-trimoxazole from 35.58% in 2009 to 63.39% in 2014 (P = 0.0000058). The prevalence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamases (ESBLs) has also significantly increased from 21.7% to 33.16% (P = 0.0045).

CONCLUSION: Although E. coli remains the prime pathogen in pediatric UTI, the prevalence of resistance has dramatically increased over the 5-year study period. Our study highlights the emergence of community-acquired ESBL-producing uropathogens in children proclaiming treatment challenges.

Published: September 2017

BACKGROUND: Clindamycin has become an important antimicrobial option for the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus. However, little is known about the current patterns of clindamycin-susceptibility in S. aureus invasive isolates, both in our country and in other developing countries in the world.

AIMS: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of constitutive and inducible clindamycin resistance in methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) blood culture isolates in São Paulo, Brazil.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: From July 2011 to June 2012, all S. aureus isolates from blood cultures collected at our hospital were included in the study. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was performed according to recommendations of the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute.

RESULTS: Total prevalence of clindamycin resistance was 68%, including 7.2% with inducible resistance. In MRSA resistance rate was 90.8% whereas in MSSA the rate was 32.7%.

CONCLUSIONS: Our high prevalence of clindamycin resistance highlights the importance of performing D-test in a routine base, as well of maintaining continued surveillance for the prevalence of clindamycin resistance.

Published: September 2017

Aeromonas is a Gram-negative bacillus, widely found in aquatic environment. Osteoarticular pathology caused by AeromonA. hydrophilal is rarely encountered. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of chronic osteomyelitis by A. hydrophilal reported from India. We report a case of chronic osteomyelitis of the lower limb due to A. hydrophilal, which occurred as a delayed complication following open reduction and internal fixation. Prompt medical and surgical intervention supplemented by a comprehensive microbiological workup aided in pathogen identification and specific antimicrobial administration resulting in the successful outcome of our patient. This case illustrates the utility of multidisciplinary management approach involving microbiologists and orthopedicians in investigating and appropriately managing such cases.

Hemiarthroplasty vs. locking plate osteosynthesis – what is the better solution for displaced proximal humerus fractures?
Authors: Rusin Piotr , Piotrowski Maciej , Mazurek Tomasz , Lukasiewicz Piotr , Nogalski Adam
Published: September 2017

Introduction: Displaced proximal humerus fractures pose significant clinical problems. The aim of this study was to compare treatment results between open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) and hemiarthroplasty (HA).

Material and methods: The study was a retrospective assessment. Sixty-three patients (30 HA, 33 ORIF) met the inclusion criteria; mean age: 64.5 years. The Constant-Murley scale, DASH score and VAS surveys for pain and satisfaction were used to evaluate the results.

Results:  The HA group: the constant score was 44 points, and the DASH score was 57 points; 53% of patients had osteolysis of the greater tubercle; none of the patients had revision surgery. ORIF group: the constant score was59 points, and the DASH score was 38 points; 21% of patients had a vascular necrosis; revision surgery was performed in 18% of cases. A significant correlation between good functional outcomes and young age of patients was found in the ORIF group (p-value < 0.048). Patients who started physical therapy earlier achieved better results. DASH scores were better compared to ones from the objective Constant-Murley score. There was no difference in satisfaction between HA and ORIF groups (p-value < 0.1).

Conclusions: The ORIF should be considered for patients < 60 years old, but gives increased risk of urgent revision, due to screw protrusion. The HA provides fewer complications, lower risk of revision and can be better for patients between 60 and 70 years old. When choosing the treatment method, we should avoid focusing only on fracture configuration, but should also consider patient-related factors, such as age and lifestyle.

Authors: S Raja , I Ramya
Published: September 2017

Aim: The aim of present study was to evaluate the cardioprotective efficacy of Polygonum glabrum on isoproterenol induced myocardial necrosis in rats. Methods: Experimental rats were treated orally with methanol extract of Polygonum glabrum at two doses (200 mg and 400 mg/kg) for 30 days. Isoproterenol (85 mg/kg, s.c.) was administered on 29th and 30th day to induce myocardial necrosis.  At the end of the experiment, serum cardiac marker enzymes [creatine kinase muscle brain (CK-MB), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT)], serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) and total protein (TP) were estimated. Plasma total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels were also recorded. Further, antioxidant parameters viz catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD),  glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione reductase (GRD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were evaluated in heart tissue homogenate. Results: The results of the study indicated that, methanol extract of Polygonum glabrum showed greater cardioprotection by restoring the cardiac marker enzymes and attenuated the level of plasma lipid profiles along with an increase in HDL. Additionally, level of myocardial antioxidants significantly increased along with a reduction in the content of malondialdehyde. The cardioprotective effect was compared with propranolol     (10 mg/kg, oral) which was used as the standard. Histopathological findings revealed a decrease in the degree of necrosis and inflammation following pretreatment with Polygonum glabrum. Conclusion: The present investigation indicates that Polygonum glabrum could protect myocardium from isoproterenol induced necrosis.

Abstract. Ozone profile trends over the period 2000 to 2016 from several merged satellite ozone data sets and from ground-based data measured by four techniques at stations of the Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Composition Change indicate significant ozone increases in the upper stratosphere, between 35 and 48 km altitude (5 and 1 hPa). Near 2 hPa (42 km), ozone has been increasing by about 1.5 % per decade in the tropics (20° S to 20° N), and by 2 to 2.5 % per decade in the 35 to 60° latitude bands of both hemispheres. At levels below 35 km (5 hPa), 2000 to 2016 ozone trends are smaller and not statistically significant. The observed trend profiles are consistent with expectations from chemistry climate model simulations. This study confirms positive trends of upper stratospheric ozone already reported, e.g., in the WMO/UNEP Ozone Assessment 2014 or by Harris et al. (2015). Compared to those studies, three to four additional years of observations, updated and improved data sets with reduced drift, and the fact that nearly all individual data sets indicate ozone increase in the upper stratosphere, all give enhanced confidence. Uncertainties have been reduced, for example for the trend near 2 hPa in the 35 to 60° latitude bands from about ±5 % (2σ) in Harris et al. (2015) to less than ±2 % (2σ). Nevertheless, a thorough analysis of possible drifts and differences between various data sources is still required, as is a detailed attribution of the observed increases to declining ozone-depleting substances and to stratospheric cooling. Ongoing quality observations from multiple independent platforms are key for verifying that recovery of the ozone layer continues as expected.
Highly variable Pliocene sea surface conditions in the Norwegian Sea
Authors: Bachem Paul E. , Risebrobakken Bjørg , De Schepper Stijn , McClymont Erin L.
Published: September 2017

Abstract. The Pliocene was a time of global warmth with small sporadic glaciations, which transitioned towards the larger-scale Pleistocene glacial–interglacial variability. Here, we present high-resolution records of sea surface temperature (SST) and ice-rafted debris (IRD) in the Norwegian Sea from 5.32 to 3.14 Ma, providing evidence that the Pliocene surface conditions of the Norwegian Sea underwent a series of transitions in response to orbital forcing and gateway changes. Average SSTs are 2 °C above the regional Holocene mean, with notable variability on millennial to orbital timescales. Both gradual changes and threshold effects are proposed for the progression of regional climate towards the Late Pliocene intensification of Northern Hemisphere glaciation. Cooling from 4.5 to 4.3 Ma may be linked to the onset of poleward flow through the Bering Strait. This cooling was further intensified by a period of cool summers due to weak obliquity forcing. A 7 °C warming of the Norwegian Sea at 4.0 Ma suggests a major increase in northward heat transport from the North Atlantic, leading to an enhanced zonal SST gradient in the Nordic Seas, which may be linked to the expansion of sea ice in the Arctic and Nordic Seas. A warm Norwegian Sea and enhanced zonal temperature gradient between 4.0 and 3.6 Ma may have been a priming factor for increased glaciation around the Nordic Seas due to enhanced evaporation and precipitation at high northern latitudes.

Abstract. A new sea ice configuration, GSI8.1, is implemented in the Met Office global coupled configuration HadGEM3-GC3.1 which will be used for all CMIP6 simulations. The inclusion of multi-layer thermodynamics has required a of a semi-implicit coupling scheme between atmosphere and sea ice to ensure stability of the solver. Here we describe the sea ice model component and show that the Arctic thickness and extent compare well with observationally based data.
How downstream sub-basins depend on upstream inflows to avoid scarcity: typology
and global analysis of transboundary rivers
Authors: Munia Hafsa Ahmed , Guillaume Joseph , Mirumachi Naho , Wada Yoshihide , Matti Kummu
Published: September 2017

Abstract. Countries sharing river basins are often dependent upon water originating outside their boundaries; meaning that without that upstream water, water scarcity may occur, with flow-on implications for water use and management. We develop a formalisation of this concept using water stress and shortage as indicators of water scarcity, and including both persistent and occasional scarcity. Dependency occurs if water from upstream is needed to avoid either persistent or occasional water scarcity. This can be diagnosed by comparing different types of water availability on which a sub-basin relies, starting with reliable local runoff (available even in a dry year), followed by less reliable local water (available in the wet year), reliable dry year inflows from possible upstream area, and finally less reliable wet year inflows from upstream. At the same time, possible upstream water withdrawals reduce available water downstream, influencing the latter two water availabilities. In this paper, we further present a typology describing how scarcity and dependency evolve in transboundary river basins, and use this typology for a global analysis of transboundary river basins at the scale of sub-basin areas (SBAs). Four groups of SBAs are identified that experience scarcity and dependency differently depending on their i) location in the basin, and ii) hydro-climate characteristics, specifically the level of reliable support provided by natural upstream inflows. Each group has its own set of transitions in scarcity and dependency category, driven by changes in local water demand and/or upstream withdrawals. Our results show that almost one billion people (33 % of the total transboundary population) live in SBAs that are dependent on upstream water to avoid stress because of their own water use, while 500 million people (17 % of the total transboundary population) live in SBAs dependent on upstream water to avoid possible shortage. The identification of groups and their transitions enables discussion of the pathways SBAs might take in future, potentially contributing to further refined analysis of inter and intrabasin hydro-political power relations and strategic planning of management practices in transboundary basins.
A QUESTÃO SOCIAL, A PREVIDÊNCIA RURAL E A CAPITALIZAÇÃO ECONÔMICA DA ESCALA MUNICIPAL
Authors: Alencar Arrais Tadeu
Published: September 2017

A Previdência Social, especialmente nos propalados momentos de crise fiscal, é colocada como vilã do déficit nas contas públicas brasileiras. Para além do discurso contábil, refutado pela literatura, é necessário compreender a natureza constitutiva da Previdência Rural. A política previdenciária rural localiza-se em um espaço político, resultado de uma espécie de pacto de solidariedade entre o Estado Fiscal e o Estado Social. Além de um seguro, a Previdência Rural constitui-se em um tipo eficiente de assistência social, com uma espacialidade específica. Ao inequívoco impacto na progressiva redução da pobreza no espaço rural, no primeiro momento de sua institucionalização, no início da década de 1970, a Previdência Rural, especialmente a partir do início da década de 1990, transformou-se em uma das principais políticas de capitalização das economias municipais, sobretudo nos municípios com população abaixo de 20 mil habitantes, universo que compreendeu, em 2015, 68% dos municípios brasileiros (Brasil, 2015). Como uma variante da questão social, argumentamos que a Previdência Rural é parte constitutiva do Estado Social brasileiro, respondendo, de forma específica, pela questão social no campo brasileiro e, de forma geral, pela capitalização das economias municipais em parcela significativa do território nacional. Palavras-chave: Previdência Rural, Estado Social, Questão Social, JEL: I38.

Conflictmanagementinfluencesindividualwellbeing, groupperformanceandorganizational effectiveness. The study was set out to investigate ways of managing conflicts between councilors and employees in Tanzania’s local Government authorities with particular reference to Bukoba Municipal Council. It also investigated mechanisms used to solve conflicts between councilors and employees of Bukoba Municipal Council. In this study, both quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used; and the result indicates that, there are conflict between councilors and employees which arise due to different level educations, delay in project implementation, personal interests, scarcity of resources and negative attitude, interference on duties between councilors and employees at BMC. Also, the respondents revealed that, conflicts between councilors and employees had negative effects to Bukoba Municipal Council, such as delay in project implementation, low morale, resignation of potential employees, and increases of unnecessary costs. Moreover, different mechanisms were used to solve conflicts between councilors and employees, among others, were through mediation, negation, meetings, collective bargaining and accommodation.
Agreement of Axillary and Auricular Temperature with Rectal Temperature in Systemically Healthy Dogs Undergoing Surgery
Authors: Cichocki Brandy , Dugat Danielle , Payton Mark
Published: September 2017

Obtaining a patient’s temperature is an important part of a patient’s physical examination. As human medicine transitions to noninvasive temperature measurements, so does veterinary medicine. Historically, temperature measurement has been obtained from rectal readings; however, alternative methods, such as axillary and auricular temperatures, are increasing in popularity. The purpose of the study was to compare these alternative techniques to the gold standard of rectal temperature. Temperatures were obtained three ways for each patient: rectal, axillary, and auricular. Results indicated a positive linear relationship between rectal and axillary temperatures (bivariate correlation coefficient [r] = 0.65, P < .001) and axillary and auricular temperatures (r = 0.55, P < .001). Agreement was strongest between rectal and auricular temperatures (r = 0.80, P < .001). The average discrepancy between axillary and rectal temperature was 1.2°C [2.1°F] with the highest difference being 4.0°C [7.3°F]. The average discrepancy between auricular and rectal temperature was 0.6°C [1.2°F] with the highest difference being 2.2°C [4.1°F]. Despite auricular temperatures having stronger agreement, Bland-Altman Limits of Agreement testing revealed that it was a poor predictor of rectal temperature. Based on these results, axillary and auricular temperatures should not be substituted for rectal temperature.
Gastric Dilatation Associated with Gastric Colonization with Sarcina-Like Bacteria in a Cat with Chronic Enteritis
Authors: Im Joon Young , Sokol Set , Duhamel Gerald E.
Published: September 2017

An 11 yr old spayed female domestic longhair cat was presented for an acute onset of vomiting. Abdominal radiographs and ultrasound revealed severe gastric dilatation (GD) without evidence of gastric outflow obstruction. On esophagogastroduodenoscopy, the duodenal mucosa was mildly erythematous, and a moderate, diffuse, chronic enteritis was found by histological examination of duodenal biopsies. Large numbers of Sarcina-like bacteria without associated inflammation were present in gastric mucosal biopsies. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first report of GD associated with colonization by Sarcina-like bacteria in a cat. Gastric colonization by Sarcina-like bacteria should be suspected when cats are presented with acute onset of GD and vomiting.

The Effect of Education Expenditure on Per Capita GDP in Developing Countries
Authors: Appiah Elizabeth N.
Published: September 2017

Is further public and private investment in education warranted in developing countries that is economically efficient? Does an increase in education expenditure, generate a positive impact on per capita GDP in developing countries? If so, is the impact different from that of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries? Education is one of the key factors of promoting economic growth because of its role in enhancing human capital thus productivity. However, adverse macroeconomic conditions and increased competition for scarce public funds have reduced governments’ capacity to expand education expenditure to improve labor productivity. I use the ‘system’ GMM estimator to estimate the effect of an increase in education expenditure on per capita GDP. The uniqueness of this paper is that unlike other studies where only one country or region is considered, this paper examines the impact of increased spending on education on per capita GDP in developing countries. The findings indicate that expansion in education expenditure in developing countries affects per per capita GDP positively, and the effect is not different from that of SSA countries.

Rola pokolenia Y w tworzeniu innowacji otwartych
Authors: Rynkiewicz Danuta
Published: September 2017

Innowacje otwarte są pochodną rozwoju technologii, demokratyzacji informacji, powstania społeczeństw opartych na wiedzy. Przedsiębiorstwa samodzielnie, wewnątrz, nie są w stanie nadążyć za potrzebami rynków. A rynki, konsumenci i kontrahenci nie czekając, zaczęli sami tworzyć innowacyjne rozwiązania, które stały się przedmiotem obrotu na otwartym rynku innowacji, dla którego zasadnicze znaczenie ma czynnik ludzki, jego: zaufanie, otwartość, sprawna komunikacja, kooperacja, wiedza, ciekawość, tolerancja ryzyka i  przedsiębiorczość (proinnowacyjny kapitał ludzki). Człowiek, jego wiedza, postawy, sposób myślenia i postępowania jest pochodną kultury społeczności, z której się wywodzi i w której funkcjonuje. Szczególną grupą społeczną połączoną wspólnymi, historycznie uwarunkowanymi cechami jest pokolenie. Pojawienie się pokolenia Y sprzyja rozwojowi innowacji otwartych w Polsce.
Experience – an Old-new Paradigm of Tourism
Authors: Stasiak Andrzej
Published: September 2017

Purpose. Implementing the general theory of experience economy in the domain of tourism and attempting to answer the question whether the philosophy of tourism industry should be modified, placing the tourist’s experience in the focus of attention. Method. Desk research – studies of foreign and Polish literature. Findings. Travel has always involved strong emotions. They were treated as a “side effect” of travelling rather than an important aim of tourism enterprise activity. The development of experience economy increased the demand for unique experiences and emotions, also in tourism. Feelings, excitement, mental satisfaction with a stay at a given place are becoming more important than the standard of tourism services. This statement leads to perceiving the tourist’s experience as the foundation of the comprehensive tourist brand strategy, the aim and sense of a company’s marketing activity. Adopting a new paradigm of tourism would require devising totally new methods and tools to professionally shape tourism products, strongly saturated with emotions. In order to turn an ordinary product to an extraordinary experience (Lasalle, Britton 2003), it is necessary to reorient thinking: tourist services package → tourist experience package. Research and conclusion limitations. The paper is based on the global conception of experience economy as well as many foreign and Polish publications. It can be assumed that the presented conclusions are true for all modern tourism markets. Practical implications. Apart from providing a theoretical foundation, the article also shows the benefits of focusing on unrepeatable tourist experiences and implementing experience marketing into the economic practice by tourism firms. Originality. The problems of experience economy are relatively new, both globally and in Poland. Although experience itself is not a new concept in tourism, the approach to it has changed – it has been placed in the focus of the tourism sector’s attention, recommending concentration on consciously shaping tourism products which provide unique experiences. Type of paper. An article presenting theoretical conceptions.

Authors: Burg Maria Renita , Andreazza Márcia , Silva Sinara Rocha e , Oliveira Maria Marilene Trindade de , Santos Simone dos , Raffo Neiva Isabel
Published: September 2017

Objetivos: estimar a taxa de transmissão vertical do HIV em crianças residentes de Canoas/RS entre 2012 e 2013; e investigar dados sociodemográficos e de cuidados das crianças e mães no mesmo período. Método: estudo de coorte prospectivo, formado por todos os 45 recém-nascidos vivos e expostos ao HIV, nascidos no período de junho de 2012 a dezembro de 2013, cujas mães foram acompanhadas pelo Serviço de Atendimento Especializado (SAE) de Canoas/RS, até a definição da sorologia para o HIV na criança. O cálculo da taxa de transmissão do HIV foi realizado com 41 crianças que tiveram efetivamente o resultado da exposição ao HIV materno. Resultados: a taxa de transmissão vertical do HIV foi de 4,88%, atribuída à baixa adesão de consultas de pré-natal, à interrupção do Antirretroviral profilático durante a gestação e ao uso de drogas ilícitas pelas mulheres. Conclusão: as informações advindas deste estudo permitirão aos gestores do município planejar intervenções que possam contribuir na erradicação da transmissão perinatal do HIV como forma de contágio.

Objetivo: conhecer as percepções das(os) enfermeiras(os) acerca das travestis e o preparo técnico-científico para assisti-las. Método: estudo de campo, descritivo e com abordagem qualitativa, realizado em Estratégias Saúde da Família do oeste do Rio Grande do Sul/Brasil, no segundo semestre de 2014. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com enfermeiras(os) e analisados a partir da análise temática. Resultados: identificou-se que as(os) enfermeiras(os) desconhecem o significado do que é ser travesti, limitando-a a figura de um homem vestido como mulher. Foram percebidas lacunas importantes na formação acadêmica destes profissionais quanto às especificidades do cuidado às travestis. Em relação à atuação profissional, evidenciou-se o desconhecimento sobre as políticas públicas e a legislação voltadas à esta população. Conclusão: esta pesquisa revelou que não há conhecimento da identidade de gênero das travestis e existe um comprometimento da prática assistencial voltada a este público.
