Introdução: As pessoas idosas soropositivas apresentam demandas de cuidado diferenciadas; necessita-se de maior atenção em saúde, pois alguns apresentam idade avançada e aspectos de saúde singulares, devendo os enfermeiros e a equipe multiprofissional assegurar um cuidado para além da doença. Objetivo: A partir disso, tem-se como objetivo deste estudo compreender, a partir das narrativas de vida dos idosos que envelheceram com vírus da imunodeficiência humana/aids, como se deram as relações familiares e afetivas pós- -diagnóstico. Métodos: Tratou-se de um estudo de abordagem qualitativa, com método de narrativa de vida por Daniel Bertaux. As entrevistas aconteceram em um hospital universitário em Niterói (RJ) e contamos com 13 participantes cuja coleta de dados ocorreu entre outubro de 2019 e março de 2020. Resultados: Nos resultados tivemos que estudos mostram que o vírus da imunodeficiência humana/aids é uma doença familiar, visto que a família tem um importante papel no apoio aos membros afetados com a doença. Nota-se que, se a família for capaz de lidar efetivamente com a enfermidade, ela enxergará as exigências do membro afetado como manejáveis, podendo desenvolver um sistema de significados coerentes e adaptativos relacionados às condições e aos desafios de saúde. Revela-se que o apoio familiar a pessoas que vivem com vírus da imunodeficiência humana é fundamental para a revelação do diagnóstico, o tratamento e a continuidade de vida dos pacientes. O diagnóstico de vírus da imunodeficiência humana/aids no contexto familiar desencadeou sentimento de pânico no que diz respeito à revelação da soropositividade ao cônjuge e ao desejo de não estar infectado com o vírus. Conclusão: O fato de a contaminação partir do cônjuge traz uma série de questões de culpabilização, principalmente quando o resultado da parceira não é favorável (negativo), sendo a saída para minimização da culpa o pedido de perdão e a reconciliação. Essa dinâmica familiar precisa ser considerada em todo processo, inclusive no tratamento, pois representa uma estrutura de apoio importante para a pessoa que vive com o vírus da imunodeficiência humana.

Published: February 2022

Objective/Background: While there is no universal agreement on the benefits of convalescent plasma (CP) in the treatment of COVID-19 infection, very little is known about whether CP affects the association between chronic diseases and mortality. It is known that chronic diseases are associated with worse outcomes, but it is not clear whether the transfusion of CP impacts this association. This study aims to evaluate this impact considering that few studies have discussed the treatment of COVID-19 patients with CP. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among COVID-19 patients treated with CP at the main hospital for treatment and isolation of COVID-19 in Anbar/Iraq during the period of May to August 2020. A questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics, smoking, and contact with COVID-19 was conducted. The presence of comorbidity, especially hypertension, heart failure, coronary artery disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic pulmonary diseases, asthma, and the hospital outcome (discharged home alive or cure/death) were included. The Chi-square test (or Fisher's exact test) was used to measure the association between comorbidity with the outcome. Logistic regression was used to assess the main predictors for cure (discharged home alive) and death outcome. Results: The mean age of the subjects was (53.05 ± 15.16), with a higher death rate among the older age group, especially those over 60-year with non-survivors at age of 65 or more. There was a statistically significant association between the presence of comorbidity and the mortality rate (P < 0.001). Subjects with chronic disease had a 5 times higher risk for death due to COVID-19 in comparison to those without the chronic disease (OR = 5.8, C.I. = 2.01-16.96, P = 0.001), hypertension showed the highest predictor (C.I = 1.43- 22.29, p = 0.013). Smoking and gender were not associated with mortality. Conclusion: The present study found a high mortality rate among COVID-19 patients treated with CP, specially for those with age over 60, or with comorbidities.

Besides the disease itself growing globally, this pandemic has inflicted many other healthcare problems. This study aims to look at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on pediatric home injuries. Methods: It is a prospective descriptive study conducted over a 5-month period from January 20, 2020 to June 12, 2020 of all children aged 0 to 18 years consulting the pediatric medical emergency department of the children's hospital in Rabat for home injuries. Results: A total of 13616 patients were admitted during the period from January 20, 2020 to June 12, 2020. Among them, 296 children were admitted for home injuries representing 1.5% of the total admissions before the lockdown and 4.3% during the lockdown. The mean age of the patients was 4 years. Most home injuries occurred in the evening from 6 pm onwards. The most frequent home injuries were foreign body ingestions (33.2%), drug intoxications (16.9%), CO intoxications (16.6%), and caustic ingestions (13.6%). The average admission delay after the accident was 14 hours before and during containment. During the confinement, 82% of the children received in the emergency room required hospitalization for specialized care or monitoring, and 18% were treated at home. Conclusion: The social isolation imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic has caused an increase in pediatric home injuries requiring admission to our department. Governments and healthcare authorities should proactively implement appropriate intervention programs and better plan resources to prevent these home injuries during the lockdown.

Confined Water for Passive Generation and Accumulation of Non-Thermal Plasma
Authors: A Scherlag Ronald
Published: February 2022

Introduction: In a recent publication, we described the production method for Non-Thermal Plasma (NTP) without added external energy. Bulk water contains 12-19% free water molecules. Once filtered through glass into a sealed confined jar, free water molecules reacted to produce an new form of NTP, a gas/water combination, Hybrid-Plasma (HP). This report describes a second production method for HP. Methods: We added 800mL distilled water to a 4000mL acrylic cylinder. Inside the cylinder, an uncovered 500mL collection jar equipped with an ion counter and hygrometer was placed on a platform above the water line. When the acrylic cylinder was sealed with a cover, it formed the confined chamber similar to the water through glass method. Results: After 24 hours, maximum readings were registered on the ion counter and hygrometer inside the open jar confined in the chamber. The uncovered collection jar was sealed with a plastic cover and placed on a shelf for observation (n=6). Initially, the ion counters (n=6) registered a mean ion count of 1443 and a mean hygrometer reading of 93%; both readings gradually declined until day 6. Discussion: We produced HP by a second method with the same properties as HP produced by the original water-throughglass method. Analysis of the HP indicated the presence of Hydroxide/OH- and H2 O2 /Hydrogen Peroxide. Conclusions: We discovered how to separate highly kinetic free water molecules in a confined chamber to produce stable NTP. Hybrid plasma was accumulated, analyzed and used in experiments to determine the effects it has on living systems.
The Roles of Different Appraisals in Anxiety and Emotional Exhaustion: A Case of NCAA Division I Head Coaches
Authors: Lee Ye Hoon
Published: February 2022

The complex and unpredictable nature of sport competitions causes athletic coaches to experience a substantial amount of anxiety, which can be detrimental to their well-being and performance. Therefore, it is important to identify the psychological process of how coaches manage their anxiety. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between the four different cognitive appraisals, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion among coaches. To accomplish this objective, 203 head coaches in National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I were recruited to complete an online questionnaire. The findings indicate that the goal incongruence appraisal positively predicts reported anxiety, whereas the coping efficacy appraisal negatively predicts it. Furthermore, reported anxiety is positively associated with subjective ratings of emotional exhaustion. The findings of this study contribute to the understanding of the cognitive appraisal process of emotion by demonstrating how different appraisals are associated with anxiety. Additionally, the finding can help coaches use more effective cognitive appraisals to enhance their emotional experience.
Contribution of Retinal Motion to the Impulse Control of Target-Directed Aiming
Authors: Roberts James W. , Grierson Lawrence E. M.
Published: February 2022

Contemporary models of sensorimotor control contend that visually regulated movement adjustments may unfold early during a target-directed limb movement through an impulse control process that makes use of anticipatory forward models. To date, evidence surrounding impulse control has involved adjustments to a purported misperception in limb velocity following the unexpected onset of a moving background. That is, the limb is perceived to move faster and undershoots more when there is an incongruent moving background and vice versa. However, this particular behavior may manifest from an independent oculo-manual-following response. The present study aimed to deconstruct these proposals and, with them, the processes that underlie impulse control. Participants had to rapidly reach upward to land their index finger accurately on a target. On 33% of trials, the background, over which the movement was made, moved either up, down, right, or left. Displacements in the primary and perpendicular directions of movement showed spatial trajectories that were consistent with the directions of the moving backgrounds. This behavior was most prevalent in measurements taken at the movements’ peak negative acceleration and endpoints. Moreover, analysis of standardized displacements in the moving background conditions indicated no significant differences in the extent of the movements toward each of the moving backgrounds. These findings indicate that movement adjustments can manifest from an oculo-manual-following response rather than a misperception of limb velocity. We suggest that the anticipatory forward model that comprises impulse control may incorporate features of the environment that surround the vicinity of the limb.
How Processing Fluency Contributes to the Old/New Effects of Familiarity and Recollection: Evidence From the Remember/Know Paradigm
Authors: Nie Aiqing , Pan Ru , Shen Hongwu
Published: February 2022

Previous investigations have demonstrated FN400 and LPC, 2 event-related potential old/new effects that respectively reflect familiarity- and recollection-based processes in memory. However, it is unclear whether these effects are susceptible to processing fluency, particularly different types of processing fluency. To address this issue, applying a masked priming paradigm, we conducted an event-related potential experiment by manipulating semantic relations between the prime and the target as identical (reflecting perceptual fluency), thematically and taxonomically related (referring to conceptual fluency), and unrelated. A remember/know (R/K) judgment task in the test phase was used to distinguish familiarity- and recollection-based processes. Behaviorally, both task performance and response speed were modulated by the variables of priming condition, item type, and response type. All 4 priming conditions elicited significant FN400 and LPC. Compared with the K response, the R response was more relevant to the recollection-based processes reflected by LPC. Both FN400 and LPC were modulated by whether there was a response of R, K, or new. The former was susceptible only to conceptual fluency, and the latter was sensitive to both perceptual fluency and conceptual fluency, which offered telling evidence for the dual process model. Considerations for future investigations are proposed. See supplemental materials here: https://www.press.uillinois.edu/journals/ajp/media/evidence_in_remember_know_paradigm/
Examining Elementary General Music Teaching Practices Through a Reggio Emilia Lens
Authors: Wolfe H. Ellie
Published: February 2022

Elementary general music teachers (N = 280) from Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming completed the Characteristics of Elementary General Music Teaching questionnaire. Responses were analyzed for congruence between current teaching practices and three components of the Reggio Emilia Approach (REA) to education: child as protagonist, documentation of learning, and the hundred languages. Overall, respondents described teaching practices that reflect some, but limited, congruence with the REA. Teachers collect some types of student artifacts, display evidence of student learning in certain forms, adapt instruction based on observation of students, provide students opportunities to translate between symbolic systems, and demonstrate a student-centered approach to music education by modifying their teaching practices at the student, class, grade, or developmental level. Variance in the congruence between teaching practice and the concepts of documentation and symbolic translations could not be explained by education level or general music pedagogical influence. Suggestions are shared for elementary general music teachers to engage in critical self-reflection of their teaching practice through a Reggio Emilia-inspired lens. The review of literature and this study demonstrate a need for further research on Reggio Emilia-inspired music education; suggestions are included.
Mormon Feminist Perspectives on the Mormon Digital Awakening: A Study of Identity and Personal Narratives
Authors: Ross Nancy , Finnigan Jessica
Published: February 2022

This study examines online Mormon feminists’ identities and beliefs and their responses to the Mormon Digital Awakening. This is the first published survey of online Mormon feminists, which gathered quantitative and qualitative data from 1,862 self-identified Mormon feminists. The findings show that Mormon feminists are predominantly believing and engaged in their local religious communities but, are frustrated with the position of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on gender. Many Mormon feminists participate in activist movements to raise awareness of gender issues in the Church, and this study records their responses to these recent events. It is argued that Mormon feminists play a significant role in the LDS Church as they bridge the gap between orthodoxy and non-orthodoxy and between orthopraxy and non-orthopraxy.
Ethnomusicology and Higher Education: Challenges, Trends, and Lessons from the Humanities
Authors: Moore Robin , Queiroz Luis Ricardo Silva , Bimbiras John , Rohm Caroline , Thornton Ashley
Published: February 2022

Many authors in recent years note threats to humanistic studies within higher education. They express concern about the overproduction of PhD graduates, the increasing costs of higher education, and other topics. Ethnomusicologists are undoubtedly aware of such issues, yet as a society SEM has not engaged with related publications, nor has it collected much data on specific challenges to our own field. This essay synthesizes literature on trends within the humanities and considers its potential relevance for ethnomusicology. Then, based on interviews with faculty, as well as a 2018 survey circulated to current and former students on the SEM LISTSERV, it briefly considers the state of our discipline in terms of core training, student support, student placement, and other topics. The data suggest that many issues confronting ethnomusicologists resonate with those in other disciplines and that we would benefit from engagement with nationwide dialogues involving the future of graduate studies. Suggestions proposed are many and include an orientation of research toward issues impacting communities near one’s university, greater focus on team-based inquiry rather than individual scholarship, more active collaborations across disciplines, diverse professional training, more attention to shaping the content of K–12 education, communication with diverse audiences, and a research focus on areas of broad public concern whenever possible.
Ann Flood, Mairéad Farrell, and the Representation of Armed Femininity in Irish Republican Ballads
Authors: Cadhla Seán Ó
Published: February 2022

This article critically considers the representation of armed femininity within the attendant song tradition of Irish physical-force Republicanism, with specific focus on the personal and cultural consequences for two prominent female Republican activists, both of whom successfully traverse the gender demarcation lines of war. While noting the didactic, often misogynistic, trajectory of works narrating “transgressive” females within the broader ballad tradition, this article seeks to determine whether or not the interwoven essentialist tropes of death, martyrdom, and resurrection—all deeply embedded ideological constructs within the framework of Irish Republicanism—successfully supersede calcified patriarchal mores and, in so doing, facilitate an alternative narrative landscape for the cultural documentation of militant Irish Republican women via the popular ballad.

The Crowd in Flux: Atmosphere and the Governance of Public Affects at FC Union Berlin
Authors: Jack Max
Published: February 2022

Exploring the role of atmosphere in the context of soccer fandom, I examine hard-core fans called “ultras” at Football Club Union Berlin. In response to the ultras’ coordination of crowd performativity in the stadium, an assemblage of competing governing apparatuses has intervened with an interest in alleviating risk and potentially inflammatory dispositions of the fans. In contrast to the text-based rational-critical discourse idealized as characteristic of the public sphere (Warner 2002), I argue that atmosphere is an affective-discursive realm through which ultras negotiate subjectivity, which is perceived as deviant because it deconstructs individualism, interiority, and reason as assumed traits of liberal democratic citizenship.
Carnival Brass Bands in New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro: Disinheritance, Alternative Whiteness, and Musical Eclecticism
Authors: Snyder Andrew
Published: February 2022

This article explores the predominantly White brass band scenes of the carnivals of New Orleans and Rio de Janeiro as producing rituals of intensified social distinction. The bands’ musical practices realize aesthetic preferences of distinct racialized communities forged through relational positioning. Offering alternatives to the “heritage repertoires” of these carnivals based in musical Blackness, these bands’ musical eclecticism forms an aesthetic articulation of “alternative Whiteness,” which seeks to “disinherit” both hegemonic Whiteness of conservative cultural politics and commodification of Blackness. The article theorizes contemporary carnivalesque translocality in consideration of longer histories of festive circulation in the Atlantic World.

Este artigo examina o cenário de bandas de sopros, formadas predominantemente por pessoas brancas, presentes nos carnavais de Nova Orleans e no Rio de Janeiro, caracterizando como rituais de intensificação da distinção social. As práticas musicais realizadas por essas bandas têm preferências estéticas distintas das comunidades negras forjadas por meio de posicionamento relacional. Oferecendo alternativas aos “repertórios de herança” desses carnavais baseados na negritude musical, o ecletismo musical dessas bandas forma uma articulação estética da “branquitude alternativa”, que busca “deserdar” tanto a branquitude hegemônica da política cultural conservadora quanto a comodificação da negritude. O artigo teoriza a translocalidade carnavalesca contemporânea em consideração a histórias mais longas de circulação festiva no Mundo Atlântico.
Deep Polyphony in the Hymns of Julien Jouga
Authors: Dang Christine Thu Nhi
Published: February 2022

Arguably the foremost pioneer of indigenized hymnody in Senegal, Julien Jouga composed hymns that achieved remarkable popularity beyond the Catholic Church, beloved by Muslims and Christians alike. In his compositions, Jouga did not limit himself to conventional Catholic materials but drew extensively upon the practices of mystical Islam and African traditional religions. Amalgamating divergent musical, cultural, and spiritual sources, Jouga entered into dialogue with the voices of religious others, voices whom he confronted as equals within the polyphonic lines of his hymns. Through this radically dialogic approach, Jouga’s compositions became performances of deep polyphony: of inclusive hymnody that recognizes the truths of others and celebrates the simultaneity of moral and spiritual paths in the midst of religious difference.

Sans doute le plus grand pionnier de l’hymnodie au Sénégal, Julien Jouga a composé des hymnes qui ont acquis une popularité remarquable, audelà même de l‘Église catholique, aimés des musulmans comme des chrétiens. Dans ses compositions, Jouga ne s’est pas limité aux matériaux catholiques conventionnels et s’est largement inspiré des pratiques de l’Islam mystique et des religions traditionnelles africaines. Amalgamant des éléments musicaux, culturels et spirituels distincts, Jouga est entré en dialogue au sein de la pluralité religieuse, voix qu’il a traitées d‘égal à égal dans les lignes polyphoniques de ses hymnes. Par cette approche radicalement dialogique, les compositions de Jouga sont devenues des performances de polyphonie profonde, d’hymnodie inclusive qui reconnaît les vérités d’autrui et célèbre la simultanéité des chemins moraux et spirituels au coeur de la différence religieuse.
