Espérance de vie : peut-on gagner trois mois par an indéfiniment ?
Authors: Vallin Jacques , Meslé France
Published: October 2021

Dans un article paru en 2002 dans la revue Science , James Oeppen et James Vaupel, observant que les records d’espérance de vie avaient progressé linéairement depuis 1841 au rythme constant de 3 mois par an, en concluaient qu’il y avait toute raison de croire que cela continuerait encore longtemps. Un réexamen critique des données et une vue plus longue sur le passé indiquent, au contraire, que les rythmes de croissance de l’espérance de vie ont varié avec le temps, au fur et à mesure que les ressorts essentiels du progrès sanitaire ont eux-mêmes changé. En particulier, le rythme caractérisant l’étape la plus récente, la révolution cardiovasculaire, a été moins rapide que celui de la période précédente, celle de la victoire sur les maladies infectieuses. Plus l’espérance de vie augmente, plus sa progression exige un recul massif de la mortalité à des âges de plus en plus élevés. La suite dépendra d’innovations à venir dont on ne peut connaître aujourd’hui le rythme d’accomplissement. Une espérance de vie de 100 ans n’est certainement pas hors de portée mais nul ne peut encore dire à quelle échéance.

Published: October 2021

A two-patch model with additive Allee effect is proposed and studied in this paper. Our objective is to investigate how dispersal and additive Allee effect have an impact on the above model's dynamical behaviours. We discuss the local and global asymptotic stability of equilibria and the existence of the saddle-node bifurcation. Complete qualitative analysis on the model demonstrates that dispersal and Allee effect may lead to persistence or extinction in both patches. Also, combining mathematical analysis with numerical simulation, we verify that the total population abundance will increase when the Allee effect constant $ a $ increases or $ m $ decreases. And the total population density increases when the dispersal rate $ D_{1} $ increases or the dispersal rate $ D_{2} $ decreases.

In a graph $ G $, a dissociation set is a subset of vertices which induces a subgraph with vertex degree at most 1. Finding a dissociation set of maximum cardinality in a graph is NP-hard even for bipartite graphs and is called the maximum dissociation set problem. The complexity of the maximum dissociation set problem in various sub-classes of graphs has been extensively studied in the literature. In this paper, we study the maximum dissociation problem from different perspectives and characterize the vertices belonging to all maximum dissociation sets, and no maximum dissociation set of a tree. We present a linear time recognition algorithm which can determine whether a given vertex in a tree is contained in all (or no) maximum dissociation sets of the tree. Thus for a tree with $ n $ vertices, we can find all vertices belonging to all (or no) maximum dissociation sets of the tree in $ O(n^2) $ time.

In this paper, to improve the convergence speed of the block-diagonal and anti-block-diagonal splitting (BAS) iteration method, we design a modified BAS (MBAS) method to obtain the numerical solution of the absolute value equation. Theoretical analysis shows that under certain conditions the MBAS method is convergent. Numerical experiments show that the MBAS method is feasible.

Published: October 2021

The striatum represents the major hub of the basal ganglia, receiving projections from the entire cerebral cortex and it is assumed to play a key role in a wide array of complex behavioral tasks. Despite being extensively investigated during the last decades, the topographical organization of the striatum is not well understood yet. Ongoing efforts in neuroscience are focused on analyzing striatal anatomy at different spatial scales, to understand how structure relates to function and how derangements of this organization are involved in various neuropsychiatric diseases. While being subdivided at the macroscale level into dorsal and ventral divisions, at a mesoscale level the striatum represents an anatomical continuum sharing the same cellular makeup. At the same time, it is now increasingly ascertained that different striatal compartments show subtle histochemical differences, and their neurons exhibit peculiar patterns of gene expression, supporting functional diversity across the whole basal ganglia circuitry. Such diversity is further supported by afferent connections which are heterogenous both anatomically, as they originate from distributed cortical areas and subcortical structures, and biochemically, as they involve a variety of neurotransmitters. Specifically, the cortico-striatal projection system is topographically organized delineating a functional organization which is maintained throughout the basal ganglia, subserving motor, cognitive and affective behavioral functions. While such functional heterogeneity has been firstly conceptualized as a tripartite organization, with sharply defined limbic, associative and sensorimotor territories within the striatum, it has been proposed that such territories are more likely to fade into one another, delineating a gradient-like organization along medio-lateral and ventro-dorsal axes. However, the molecular and cellular underpinnings of such organization are less understood, and their relations to behavior remains an open question, especially in humans. In this review we aimed at summarizing the available knowledge on striatal organization, especially focusing on how it links structure to function and its alterations in neuropsychiatric diseases. We examined studies conducted on different species, covering a wide array of different methodologies: from tract-tracing and immunohistochemistry to neuroimaging and transcriptomic experiments, aimed at bridging the gap between macroscopic and molecular levels.
A Comparative Evaluation of Herbal and Nonherbal Mouthrinses on Salivary pH Levels and Salivary Streptococcus Mutans Count in 6–12-Year-Old Children
Authors: Mukherjee Avisek , Yashoda R. , Puranik Manjunath , Yadav Kala
Published: October 2021

Background:

Dental caries is a disease of complex etiology, in which microorganisms play an important role. Salivary pH and Streptococcus mutans count influence the initiation and progression of dental caries.

Objectives:

This study aimed to assess the efficacy of the combined herbal and nonherbal rinse on salivary pH and salivary S. mutans count and comparing it with herbal and nonherbal mouthrinse in 6–12-year-old high caries-risk children.

Methodology:

Ninety high caries-risk children of age 6–12 years were selected and allocated randomly into three groups (herbal, nonherbal, combination mouthrinses = 30 each). Children were instructed to rinse their mouth twice daily with their assigned mouthrinses for 7 days. Salivary samples were collected at baseline, 1 h post rinsing, and at the end of 7th day of mouthrinsing for determining the salivary pH and S. mutans count. ANOVA and post hoc tests were applied. Statistical significance was considered at P < 0.05.

Results:

There was a statistically significant difference in salivary pH between baseline, 1 h, and 7 days. There was a statistical significant difference in mean S. mutans count among herbal, nonherbal, and combination mouthrinse at baseline and 1 h. There was a statistically significant intragroup difference for mean salivary pH and S. mutans at baseline and follow-ups in all three groups.

Conclusion:

Combination mouthrinse was more effective in increasing salivary pH level and reducing S. mutans count followed by herbal and nonherbal mouthrinse at 1 h. Nonherbal mouthrinse was more effective in increasing salivary pH level as compared to combination and herbal mouthrinse after 7 days. There was no statistically significant reduction in S. mutans count among groups at 7 days.
Oral Health Effects of Oil Pulling
Authors: Raja B. Kumara , Devi Kavitha
Published: October 2021

To systematically review the published literature with the purpose of knowing the oral health effects of oil pulling. A systematic review of the literature was conducted across PubMed, PubMed Central, Embase, Google Scholar, Scopus, Campbell systematic review, and Cochrane. All papers published from January 2010 to March 2020 that focused on oil pulling as a study intervention were included in this review. Randomized control trials comparing oil pulling using conventional cooking oil with any controls such as chlorhexidine (CHX), placebo or routine dental hygiene practice were included. Eighty fulltext articles were analyzed initially. Among these 80 articles, only 14 articles fulfilled the research question and were included for review. A maximum of 600 participants were present across the reviewed studies, with study duration ranged between 1 and 45 days. With a high risk of bias in multiple aspects and unclear reporting of others, the methodological quality of the included studies was questionable. Among 14 studies included studies in this systematic review, nine studies compared oil pulling with CHX in the control group in which statistically significant reduction of scores was found in six studies, two studies showed a nonsignificant reduction, and one study did not report about significant difference. The quality of evidence appears to be low to recommend oil pulling as a suitable adjunct to other conventional oral hygiene methods, as most of the included studies had high or unclear risk of bias.
Clinicopathological differences in radiation-induced organizing hematomas of the brain based on type of radiation treatment and primary lesions
Authors: Kim Myung Sun , Kim Se Hoon , Chang Jong-Hee , Park Mina , Cha Yoon Jin
Published: October 2021

Background: Radiation-induced organizing hematoma (RIOH) is a sporadic form of cavernous hemangioma (CH) that occurs after cerebral radiation. RIOH lesions are distinct histologically from de novo CH; however, detailed research on this subject is lacking. In the present study, the clinical and histological features of RIOHs were evaluated based on causative lesions. Methods: The present study included 37 RIOHs confirmed by surgical excision from January 2009, to May 2020, in Yonsei Severance Hospital. All cases were divided into subgroups based on type of radiation treatment (gamma knife surgery [GKS], n = 24 vs. conventional radiation therapy [RT], n = 13) and pathology of the original lesion (arteriovenous malformation, n = 14; glioma, n = 12; metastasis, n = 4; other tumors, n = 7). The clinicopathological results were compared between the groups. Results: Clinical data of multiplicity, latency, and size and wall thickness of the original tumors and RIOHs were analyzed. The GKS group showed shorter latency (5.85 ± 4.06 years vs. 11.15 ± 8.27 years, p = .046) and thicker tumor wall (693.7 ± 565.7 μm vs. 406.9 ± 519.7 μm, p = .049) than the conventional RT group. Significant difference was not found based on original pathology. Conclusions: RIOH is more likely to occur earlier with thick tumor wall in subjects who underwent GKS than in patients who underwent conventional RT. These results indicate the clinical course of RIOH differs based on type of treatment and might help determine the duration of follow-up.
Chromosomes Behavior at Meiosis in Chlorophytum stenopetalum Bak at Pachytene, Diakinesis and Diplotene
Authors: Sikiru Omokanye Babatunde
Published: October 2021

Meiotic prophase is classically subdivided into five stages: leptotene,  zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the behaviours of Chromosomes in Chlorophytum stenopetalum Bak.at pachytene /diakinesis and metaphase. The flower buds at right age  were harvested, fixed in Cornoy’s solution (3 part of absolute alcohol and 1 part of acetic alcohol) and preserved in a refrigerator at -4°𝐶 for at least thirty minutes. The flower buds were then hydrolyzed in 10% HCl for 3-5 minutes. Prepared slides were viewed using an Armscope microscope equipped with digital automatic camera. At diakinesis seven bivalents (7 II) were   predominantly observed (74.2%). Chromosomal stickiness is quite evidence. In addition, cross configuration and its resultant, ring formation at metaphase indicate the presence of translocation heterozgosity in the chromosomes of the species investigated. These abnormalities are likely to affect  microsporogenesis and pollen viability.

Published: October 2021

Biodiesel is a fuel produced from renewable resources; it is a clean alternative fuel, which has drawn the attention of energy researchers for the last two decades due to the disturbing effect of climate change caused by diesel fuel. This paper focuses on showcasing the qualities of biodiesel produced from used vegetable oil and the positive impact on the alarming change in climate today. This paper presents an experimental investigation on production of biodiesel from used vegetable oil (UVO) gotten from a road side bean cake (akara) seller. The oil that was intended to be thrown out was de-odoured and filtered to remove impurities. The filtered oil was then used for biodiesel production and characterized with physical and fuel properties such as density, viscosity, cloud point, refractive index, specific gravity, ash content, moisture content, flash point and cloud point. The results obtained were afterwards compared to ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and EN (Europe’s) international standards. Two biodiesels samples were produced at different temperatures but the same timings. The biodiesel were produced at 700C at 40mins (biodiesel A) and 1000C at 40mins (biodiesel B) with values of specific gravity (0.98 kg/m3; 0.90 kg/m3), density (936kg/m3; 882kg/m3), kinematic viscosity (1.5mm/s2; 5.5 mm/s2), cloud point (150C; 20C), flash point (2600C min; 2000C min), moisture content (0.07%; 0.04%), refractive index (1.4609; 1.4398) and ash point (0.24%; 0.01%) respectively. On comparison, biodiesel A couldn’t match up to the international standards while biodiesel matched up to the standards given.

Authors: Iragbogie Imoudu A. , Maimuna Yusuf O. , Hayatu Ahmad , Dalhat Afegbua S. , Musa Ismail K.
Published: October 2021

Background: Sickle cell disorders (SCD) are the commonest inherited haemoglobin (Hb) disorders. Globally, about 300,000 babies are born annually with these conditions. The clinical profiles of SCD have been described in many parts of the world. These however have not been adequately investigated in some parts of Nigeria. This study evaluated the clinical features, Hb phenotype and complications of children with SCD being managed at a Paediatric haematology clinic in Northern Nigeria.
Methods: A prospective observational study of steady state SCD patients aged 2 – 16 years, was conducted from January, 2019  -October, 2020. Historical and examination findings were documented. Analysis of data was done with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0.
Results: One hundred children were studied. Mean age was 6.97 ± 3.63 years. Male: female ratio was 1.6:1.Mean weight and mean height were lower than reference standards (t= -1.20, p= 0.14), (t= - 0.66, p= 0.27) respectively. Mean age at diagnosis was 13.24 ±14.83 months, and at first presentation was 13.86 ±17.51 months, 58.5% of subjects were adequately vaccinated for age, while 92% had a Hb phenotype of SS. Acute chest syndrome occurred more frequently in children aged 9-12 years (χ2= 11.59, P ˂ 0.001), and in those with severe bacterial infections (χ2= 7.41, p= 0.006).
Conclusion: The complications of Paediatric SCD in this part of North-Eastern Nigeria mirrors those in other parts of the country. Socio-economic class, Hb phenotype and vaccination status had no influence on the development of complications.
Delayed referral and treatment of paediatric cancer in Nigeria: Time to stop blaming the victim
Authors: Joseph Adedayo O. , Akinsete Adeseye M. , Adegboyega Bolanle , Awofeso Opeyemi M. , Ajose Azeezat O.
Published: October 2021

Background: Caregiver delay in presentation has been cited as a major contributor to poor prognosis of paediatric cancers in low-middle income countries like Nigeria. This study explored the time duration between onset of symptoms and presentation to healthcare facilities, diagnosis, and referral for specialist care.
Methods: Data were compiled from caregivers of newly registered children at a teaching hospital in Nigeria. Sociodemographic and clinical history of the child were taken. Type of cancer, date of diagnosis, centre where the diagnosis was made, treatment start date, and duration of symptoms until treatment were elicited from consenting caregivers and documented.
Results: Acute lymphoblastic leukaemia was the most prevalent cancer type among the patients. The mean time from first symptom to presentation was 15 weeks and from presentation at any health care facility to specialist referral and diagnosis was 38 and 39 weeks, respectively. Time from diagnosis to treatment was a mean of 8 weeks (range: 1 to 27 weeks)
Conclusion: Delayed presentation has become a commonly cited factor for poor cancer outcomes in Nigeria and may often inaccurately assign blame to the patient/caregivers. The results of this study point to delayed detection, delayed diagnosis and delayed referral for specialist care, as more accurate contributors to late-stage presentation and consequently worse outcomes of paediatric cancers in Nigeria. Strengthening of community and primary level healthcare professionals’ understanding of paediatric cancers, establishment of simple detection algorithms and national implementation of efficient referral protocols will potentially reduce delays in specialist attention and improve outcomes.
Folic acid and brain function in childhood
Authors: Asindi Asindi , Eyong Komomo
Published: October 2021

Folic acid supplementation does not only prevent neural tube defects in the foetus but is an essential ingredient in the growth and development of the cerebral cortex. This micronutrient promotes the thickness of the cerebral cortex; the extent of the thickness being directly proportional to the intelligent quotient, neurocognitive and psychological output of the child. Children with thin cortices are prone to poor cognitive performance, autism and psychiatric disorders such as depression. Folic acid supplementation in the first three months of pregnancy largely protects against neural tube defects; studies have shown that children whose mothers take folic acid supplement throughout pregnancy exhibit relatively higher levels of emotional intelligence. Nevertheless, in spite of long-standing recommendations that women of child-bearing age take folic acid to protect against neural impairment, a large proportion do not comply; less than half of the world’s population lives in countries that require folic acid fortification of grain products. A large portion of pregnant women in poor world countries do not attend antenatal care hence have no access to prescription of essential haematinic/folic acid. It is recommended that all women who are either planning or capable of pregnancy take a daily supplements containing 0.4 - 0.8 mg (400-800 μg) of folic acid. Fortified foods like some breads, juices, and cereals contain adequate folic acid; others are leafy green vegetables, like spinach, broccoli, and lettuce beans, peas, and lentils. Fruits like lemons, bananas, and melons are also rich sources of folate. There is need for more advocacy regarding antenatal care of pregnant mothers with emphasis on folate supplementation before and throughout pregnancy, to boost the intellectual and psychological capacity of children into adulthood.

Published: October 2021

Bitter yam is eaten by the three major tribes in Nigeria, often as a special delicacy. The Ekiti people of Western Nigeria even consume it as a staple diet. It is also used by the locals for medicinal purposes. This tuber crop can however be toxic if consumed in the unprocessed state. Patients with bitter yam toxicity can present with neurologic manifestations such as convulsions and coma; digestive system problems such as vomiting; or allergic reactions such as itching. We present the cases of three siblings with bitter yam toxicity brought to our facility with age-and-dose-related symptoms after ingestion of undercooked bitter yam.

Congenital chylous ascites (CCA) is a rare disease that results from the maldevelopment of the intra-abdominal lymphatic system. Due to the rarity of congenital chylous ascites and the lack of standards in diagnosis and therapy, this disease constitutes a medical challenge and individual therapy seems to be extremely important. A 3-month-old girl diagnosed with congenital chylous ascites. She was managed initially with nil per oral, parenteral nutrition, medium chain triglyceride (MCT) containing oil and abdominal paracentesis, followed by octreotide. Medium chain triglyceride formula, the main stay of management was discontinued with gradual reintroduction of breast feeds. This case was selected due to the rarity of CCA and the lack of standards in the diagnosis and therapy.

Published: October 2021

Histiocytoses are a rare group of proliferative disorders with very similar clinical and histological pictures. We present a case report of two variants seen in an eight-month-old female and five-month-old male in a tertiary hospital in southern Nigeria. They both presented with painless neck swellings and fever, leucocytosis, neutrophilia and lymphopenia. Initial histologic examinations of the cervical lymph nodes biopsy posed a diagnostic conundrum. However, Immuno-histochemical analysis done on both sample showed CD1a, positive S100 in keeping with Langerhans cell histiocytosis in the former. While, that of the latter showed strongly positive CD68, positive S-100 in 30% cells in keeping with Sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy (SLMH) in the latter. Clinicians should have a high index of suspicion for histiocytosis in children presenting with generalised lymphadenopathy. Also, apart from the routine histology, immunohistochemistry analysis is recommended for all cases
Optimization Of Human Resources Management In Islamic Banking
Authors: Firdiansyah Fitra Azkiya
Published: October 2021

So far, the rapid development of Islamic banking has not been supported by competent resources according to Islamic principles. The resources contained in Islamic banking so far have been a shift from conventional banking, resulting in the incompetence of these resources in Islamic banking. This study aims to analyze the optimization of human resource management in Islamic banking following Islamic principles. The method in this research is descriptive analysis with a qualitative approach. The analysis uses deductive and inductive techniques from various published literature. The results of the study show that human resources in Islamic banking are not yet optimal. The development and development of available resources must align with the position, training, and development of attitudes and managerial skills instilled with Islamic financial and ethical principles. Islamic banking must cooperate with universities in the coaching process to absorb potential resources with added value and have Islamic-based competencies.

Published: October 2021

Companies engaged in the food and beverage business have a very high chance of success in running their business, given the increasingly high level of food and beverage consumption for the community. Information based on financial ratios needs to be improved in other forms of financial analysis to ascertain the future risk level. The purpose of this study is to analyze financial distress for food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on conventional stocks and Islamic stocks on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in the period 2015-2020. Financial distress analysis uses the Altman Z-Score bankruptcy prediction approach. The results of the study indicate that companies that experience accounting losses do not necessarily experience financial distress. Companies whose shares are listed on the Sharia stock index tend to experience healthier financial conditions and do not experience financial distress. Sharia shares of food and beverage sub-sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange have good resistance to financial distress. This is supported by the high and stable value of Inti Agri Resources' shares compared to the shares of other companies.

Heat shock protein 90 family, a class highly conserved protein and important molecular chaperone and its plays a role in enhancing animal adaptability to environmental stress and improving immunity. In this study, a full-length HSP90β cDNA (ToHSP90β) sequence was identified from Trachinotus ovatus. The cDNA of ToHSP90β was 2648 base-pairs (bp) long and contained a 5′-terminal untranslated region of 130 bp, a 3′-terminal untranslated region of 334 bp, and the open reading frame length 2184 bp, which can encode 728 amino acids. The ToHSP90β has a heat shock protein 90 family signature. The ToHSP90β amino acid sequence has high homology with other fish HSP90β amino acids (92.5-99.17%) and contains five conserved signal regions and a structural feature of the cytoplasmic HSP90 family. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that ToHSP90β was most closely related to Seriola dumerili HSP90β. Tissues expression analysis showed that the ToHSP90β was expressed in all nine tissues of T. ovatus, and its expression was the highest in the intestine. The stocking density significantly affected the expression of ToHSP90β in the kidney and brain tissues, and its expression levels increased significantly with increasing stocking densities, indicating that it plays an important regulatory role in the process of T. ovatus’ chronic stress response. After Cryptocaryon irritans infection, the mRNA expression of ToHSP90β was signiﬁcantly increased in liver and kidney tissues, indicating that ToHSP90β would be involved in the immune regulatory response. This study was the first to analyze the expression pattern of HSP90β mRNA in T. ovatus tissues and their expression responses to stocking density stress and C. irritans infection. To provide a theoretical basis for further study of the function of fish HSP90 and its physiological mechanism in environmental stress and parasite infection.
Melalaikan Tanggung Jawab Sebagai Bentuk Ingkarnya Laki-Laki Merawat Komitmen Perkawinan
Authors: Ashabul Fadhli
Published: October 2021

Penelitian ini mendeskripsikan ingkarnya laki-laki dalam merawat komitmen perkawinan. Melalaikan tanggung jawab dalam bentuk penelantaran seperti tidak memberikan nafkah kepada istri dan anak, meninggalkan rumah dalam waktu yang lama serta malas bekerja menjadi pemicu ketidakharmonisan dalam rumah tangga. Pada penelitian terdahulu, didapati bahwa laki-laki membutuhkan penyesuaian dalam perkawinan agar dapat melanggengkan komitmen. Penyesuaian dipandang sebagai salah satu cara untuk merealisasikan komitmen. Penelitian ini menjadikan putusan hukum Pengadilan Agama Bukittinggi sebagai data skunder dalam pengumpulan data. Metode yang digunakan adalah kualitatif. Data diperoleh melalui salinan perkara di putusan3 Mahkamah Agung tentang putusan perceraian dengan melibatkan 3 pasangan suami istri yang memiliki usia perkawinan rentang 5-18 tahun. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa penyesuaian yang lama dalam menjalani perkawinan tidak dapat dijadikan indikator berhasilnya pasangan suami istri merawat komitmen. Tidak adanya rasa tanggung jawab pada masa perkawinan yang baru atau lama sekalipun dapat berpotensi pada pilihan mengakhiri perkawinan. Konsep diri positif merupakan faktor internal yang menentukan intensitas komitmen terhadap perkawinan. Konsep diri ini dapat tergambar pada peran dan komitmen laki-laki yang dijalaninya sebagai individu yang otonom bagi dirinya sendiri, suami dari seorang istri dan ayah bagi anak

O objetivo do estudo é, de um lado, resgatar uma escritora de língua portuguesa, silenciada pelo cânone de Portugal, que vive em Barcelona, aos 89 anos de idade: a goesa Vimala Devi, pseudônimo literário de Teresa da Piedade de Baptista Almeida. Poetisa, crítica literária, pintora, tradutora e contista, Teresa é considerada uma escritora da diáspora, pois emigrou para Lisboa, aos 26 anos de idade (1958), e escreveu sua obra - lírica e narrativa- longe de sua terra natal, Goa, que, em 1530, tornou-se a capital do Império português no Oriente (Índias Portuguesas), e no ano de 1961, foi anexada à União Indiana. E, de outro lado, analisar no conto O Genro-Comensal (1963), de Devi, a questão do matriarcado em uma ilustre família cristã que precisava de descendentes. O estudo da narrativa sobre a única função do cunhado, a de gerar um herdeiro, baseia-se nos conceitos de cultura híbrida e estranhamento, de Bhabha, além de reflexões sobre o matriarcado, o patriarcado e o capitalismo, de Engels, Pantem, Narvaz e Koller.

Palavras-chave: Literatura goesa. Vimala Devi. Cânone. Matriarcado. Poder. Gênero.

O conhecimento pertinente à relação família e educadores da infância: a dialógica da responsabilidade
Authors: De Arruda Marina Patrício , Albuquerque Fabiani Aparecida Lourenço Silveira , De Andrade Izabel Cristina Feijó
Published: October 2021

Esse texto teve por base uma dissertação de mestrado em Educação que objetivou compreender as relações entre família e educadores da infância, espaço propício à construção de um conhecimento pertinente à educação infantil.  De abordagem qualitativa, a pesquisa analisou entrevistas com representantes de 8 famílias e duas educadoras de um Centro de educação infantil da Serra Catarinense. Os resultados obtidos contribuíram para a reflexão sobre as relações construídas no espaço de convivência de educadores da infância, e indicam o compartilhamento de responsabilidades como um conhecimento pertinente. A dialógica como unidade entre duas lógicas que necessitam uma da outra, ao mesmo tempo em que se distinguem se complementam. O sentido dialógico mostra a inexistência da certeza, e favorece a compreensão de educadores que se disponham a atuar em meio ao acaso e ao imprevisto da vida.

O movimento Escola sem Partido (ESP) teve sua origem por meio da veiculação de um site em 2004, porém, assumiu ampla visibilidade somente no ano de 2014 com os projetos de lei que passaram a tramitar no Congresso Nacional em sintonia com a respectiva temática. Em nome da defesa da liberdade de expressão, lideranças do ESP argumentam que o ensino deveria ser realizado exclusivamente com o objetivo da produção e difusão de conhecimento. Para tal, defendem a neutralidade nesse processo, argumentando pela abertura às diferentes abordagens investigativas e justificando seus posicionamentos com um suposto cenário da educação brasileira, onde um significativo número de docentes dotados de concepções políticas agiria com intenções de doutrinação dos seus discentes. O ESP divulga, em seu site, os diversos projetos de lei que tramitam pelo país com a respectiva temática. Tais projetos demonstram a abrangência do movimento na medida em que circulam nas dimensões federal, estadual e municipal. Parece que a atualidade da educação brasileira e, mais precisamente, os próprios contornos da docência, vivem momentos de intensa controvérsia. Qual seria o papel do professor na educação do país? Vemos controvérsias que circulam em um cenário que mistura mediadores diversos. Articulam-se a política, os professores, a grande mídia, pesquisas, alunos, o direito dentre outros. A fronteira da docência parece ser uma questão atual a ser respondida e definida por tal coletivo. O presente artigo, portanto, objetiva desenvolver uma cartografia descritiva da produção dos contornos daquilo que se entende por docência na atualidade brasileira. Busca-se evidenciar as redes heterogêneas de mediações que a produzem.

A proteção do meio ambiente em todas as suas dimensões é uma obrigação do Poder Público constituído e da coletividade conforme disposto no caput do artigo 225 da Constituição Federal de 1988. A gestão ambiental de caráter público deve ser compartilhada e nesta perspectiva a articulação e cooperação dos três poderes é condição sine qua non para que o meio ambiente seja efetivamente protegido. Nesta premissa é importante destacar que o Poder Legislativo em todas as suas esferas tem função relevante na proteção do meio ambiente pela elaboração de leis concernentes, no aperfeiçoamento da legislação vigente e na missão de fiscalizar o Poder Executivo na regulamentação e aplicação das mesmas. O objetivo deste estudo é a atuação detalhada da 15ª Legislatura (2013 a 2016) da Câmara Municipal de Volta Redonda composta por vinte e um vereadores mandatários na proteção do meio ambiente local. Nesta pesquisa se buscam projetos de lei, leis sancionadas no período pela casa, moções, indicações, convites, resoluções, participações dos parlamentares na Comissão de Meio Ambiente, expedição de documentos acerca de informações sobre o tema, Audiências Públicas realizadas que trataram do tema “Meio Ambiente” e demais informações relevantes que possam apurar com exatidão o desempenho dos mesmos nos quatro anos que estiveram como representantes da sociedade volta-redondense e sugerir recomendações que possam potencializar a sinergia entre os três poderes na proteção do meio ambiente.
Avaliação in vitro da Precisão Dimensional de Duas Resinas Acrílicas Pattern na Transferência Direta de Implantes através da Técnica do Pincel com Uso do Fio Dental
Authors: Montoro Sérgio Roberto , Ribeiro Sergio Barbosa , Silva Cláudio Luís Melo
Published: October 2021

A excelência na adaptação em próteses parafusadas sobre implantes associada a presença de passividade, tem sido objetivo perseguido na implantodontia dentária. Diferentes técnicas e materiais tem sido propostos, principalmente no processo de transferência dos implantes. Uma transferência inadequada favoreceria além de falhas na adaptação, a inserção de forças estáticas, predispondo todo o conjunto a falhas mecânicas e biológicas. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar in vitro, o efeito do emprego de duas diferentes resinas acrílicas odontológicas Pattern na união dos pilares, na transferência direta de dois implantes. Uma estrutura protética fundida em NiCr com distância entre os pilares de 10 mm, foi preparada como padrão de aferição de valores de fenda e passividade de assentamento. Dois grupos foram divididos de acordo com a resina empregada, GI (Pattern Bright) e GII (Dencrilay Pattern). Com auxílio de um microscópio óptico confocal (110X), um total de 60 medições foram realizadas (n=60), além de uma análise clínica da qualidade de assentamento da estrutura protética. Após análise estatística ANOVA e Teste de Tukey, diferença estatítica significativa (P<0,05) foi observada entre o grupo controle (31,74 +/- 1,49 μm), GI (41,33 +/- 3,68 μm) e GII (59,99 +/- 6,397 μm), assim como entre GI e GII. Maior facilidade de assentamento da estrutura foi observado em GI. A escolha da técnica apropriada de transferência assim como a dos componentes protéticos, parece ser crítica tanto na qualidade de adaptação marginal quanto na presença de passividade entre os componentes.
Mal-estar na infância: por uma perspectiva da desmedicalização do sofrimento infantil
Authors: Azevedo Luciana Jaramillo Caruso
Published: October 2021

A progressiva patologização e medicalização dos sofrimentos psíquicos, principalmente aqueles que recaem sobre a infância, tem sido uma tônica contemporânea. Na busca de respostas eficazes para a eliminação radical do mal-estar, dos sofrimentos e dos dissabores da vida, a infância tornou-se alvo de massivas intervenções medicamentosas profiláticas com vistas a extinguir qualquer vestígio de anormalidade. Entretanto, a excessiva obsessão por detectar indicadores de anomalias, diagnosticar precocemente tudo aquilo que foge ao roteiro da normalidade pode também suprimir as diferenças e capturar as diversas formas de ser criança. Se, por um lado, constatamos a proliferação massiva de critérios diagnósticos, por outro, a partir da clínica, observamos o enclausuramento das crianças nos imperativos contemporâneos de sucesso, saúde perfeita e bem-estar. Nesse sentido, torna-se necessário interrogar qual é o espaço designado ao mal-estar infantil na atualidade. Com vistas a aprofundar essas reflexões teóricas, este estudo visa discutir fatores que estão jogo na tessitura do mal-estar na infância como as noções de medicalização, os paradigmas contemporâneos e a transformação do sofrimento em adoecimento psíquico.

As úlceras de membros inferiores são complicações do Diabetes mellitus que demandam um alto custo para os serviços de saúde. A seiva de Croton lechleri Müll. Arg, planta conhecida como Sangue de Dragão, tem demonstrado um grande potencial para o tratamento de úlceras. O objetivo deste estudo foi acompanhar a evolução de úlceras crônicas nos membros inferiores de pessoas com diabetes, submetidas a um tratamento de três meses com pomada à base de seiva de C. lechleri. É um estudo piloto experimental, com abordagem quantitativa, cuja amostra foi composta por quatro pessoas. Os dados foram coletados por meio de registro fotográfico, exames laboratoriais e um instrumento semiestruturado. Para a análise dos dados foi utilizada estatística descritiva. A pomada não apresentou efeito antimicrobiano, todavia, observou-se uma redução do tamanho médio das úlceras, no entanto são necessárias análises adicionais para determinar a melhor formulação, tempo de tratamento e quantidade de aplicação.
O currículo escolar em diálogo com a inclusão da pessoa com deficiência: por uma pedagogia das diferenças
Authors: Barros Glhevysson dos Santos , Santos Caroline Delfino dos
Published: October 2021

O objetivo deste estudo consiste em discutir a necessidade da construção de práticas curriculares voltadas para a inclusão de pessoas com deficiência nas escolas, partindo de uma perspectiva crítica. Os movimentos de cunho social que se correlacionam à busca de políticas públicas voltadas para tais grupos vêm corroborando para a implementação de legislações voltadas para sua inserção não apenas nos espaços institucionais, mas na sociedade. Dessa forma, os presentes documentos legais imprimem-nos alguns questionamentos: Como (e se) vem sendo possível a (re)construção de um currículo que dialogue com as diferenças instituídas na sala de aula em razão do processo de inclusão. O estudo apoiou-se na pesquisa bibliográfica, intercalando-se à pesquisa de caráter documental. Os resultados apontam para importantes avanços no que se refere à instituição de políticas alinhadas à compreensão da necessidade do processo de inclusão. Foi possível concluir que, embora hoje tenhamos importantes marcos na história da inclusão da pessoa com deficiência no espaço escolar, tais grupos ainda configuram-se como minorias sociais, sendo necessária políticas que ajudem na desconstrução social de estereótipos demarcados por processos de cunho histórico-cultural.
