Authors: Andrade Cristiane Batista , Monteiro Maria Inês
Published: August 2018

Resumo Este texto analisa as trajetórias de formação e de trabalho de professores(as) enfermeiros(as) do ensino técnico de enfermagem, na dimensão das relações de gênero. A pesquisa, com referencial teórico e metodológico relativo à divisão sexual do trabalho e à história oral, entrevistou quatro professoras e dois professores do ensino técnico em enfermagem. O estudo revelou diferenças na forma como os homens e as mulheres iniciaram suas carreiras e no desenvolvimento de suas trajetórias profissionais, em função da interferência de aspectos familiares, como casamento e filhos. Constatou, no entanto, similitudes no trabalho de profissionais de ambos os gêneros quanto ao ato educativo: homens e mulheres se preocupam com a qualidade do processo de ensino e aprendizagem e fazem da educação um espaço de cuidado do outro.

Racismos y xenofobias mexicanos frente a los migrantes: 1910 - 2018
Authors: Gall Olivia
Published: August 2018

Resumen Este artículo describe y analiza: a) las muy restrictivas leyes y políticas migratorias mexicanas entre 1910 y nuestros días, que han hecho de México “un país de puertas cerradas hacia la inmigración”; b) las prácticas racistas, xenófobas y a menudo extremadamente violentas que los transmigrantes, los migrantes, los migrantes que deberían ser tratados como refugiados, y los mexicanos indocumentados deportados de los EE. UU. han estado enfrentando en los últimos años, como resultado de la asociación de agentes de migración corruptos y crimen organizado, pero también de los sentimientos e ideas xenófobas de los propios mexicanos.
Receber, enviar e compartilhar comida: aspectos da migração venezuelana em Boa Vista, Brasil
Authors: Vasconcelos Iana dos Santos
Published: August 2018

Resumo O recente deslocamento de venezuelanos/as para Boa Vista-RR vem sendo observado segundo diferentes perspectivas. Um aspecto ainda pouco explorado é o da alimentação. A maioria desses migrantes procura desempenhar alguma atividade produtiva que gere renda para comprar comida e enviar aos familiares na Venezuela. Sujeitam-se a condições precárias de trabalho e vida. As relações sociais envolvidas na circulação dos alimentos nos convidam a refletir sobre a mobilidade humana. Dar comida, receber e comer junto configuram relações assimétricas e simétricas, com brasileiros/as ou entre venezuelanos/as. O artigo enfoca a agência dos/as venezuelanos/as nessas situações. Podem ser provedores de lares distantes, comensais que se vêm como iguais, e pets ou presas do capitalismo brasileiro.
Peruanos en el cruce de frontera hacia Argentina. Reflexiones sobre las políticas de control Migratorio desde las subjetividades de los migrantes
Authors: Alvites Baiadera Angélica
Published: August 2018

Resumen El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las políticas de control migratorio desde las subjetividades de los migrantes, al tomar como punto de análisis el cruce de frontera. Específicamente, se pregunta cómo los migrantes peruanos atraviesan, disputan y negocian su ingreso a territorio argentino, en los cruces de fronteras. El desarrollo de este artículo se sustenta en una metodología cualitativa, basada fundamentalmente en entrevistas en profundidad con peruanos y peruanas que migraron desde los años 50 en adelante. Se construye una periodización de esta migración hacia Argentina y se establece un conjunto de hitos sobre cómo los peruanos experimentan las políticas de control. Los entrevistados se perciben como sobrevivientes de estos controles, al entenderlos como condición sine qua non para el cruce hacia Argentina.

INFANCIA Y EXILIO: HISTORIAS DE VIDA DE LOS NIÑOS DE LA GUERRA CIVIL ESPAÑOLA EN BÉLGICA
Authors: Rico Andrés Payà
Published: August 2018

Resumen Durante la Guerra Civil española (1936-1939) unos 5000 niños y niñas tuvieron que marchar al exilio, encontrando en Bélgica un nuevo hogar de acogida temporal. Al finalizar el conflicto bélico, la mayoría de ellos fueron repatriados y regresaron junto a sus familias o a centros benéfico-paternalistas franquistas. Alrededor de un millar no regresaron por diferentes motivos. Este artículo recoge el testimonio de una decena de estos “niños” hispano-belgas y sus familiares, acudiendo a la historia oral y a la memoria, para recuperar una parte de la historia de la educación y la infancia. El viaje, las colonias de acogida o la integración social, las relaciones con la familia, la escuela y la comunidad, son algunos de los temas analizados en estas historias de vida.
A experiência moderna de tempo em The Antiquary (1816), de Walter Scott
Authors: Freitas Renata Dal Sasso
Published: August 2018

RESUMO O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar o romance The Antiquary, do escritor escocês Walter Scott, em sua relação com as transformações no conceito de história no período entre o final do século XVIII e o início do século XIX. Essas transformações dizem respeito não apenas a práticas historiográficas, mas também à própria história enquanto experiência e que, de acordo com as teses de autores como Reinhart Koselleck e François Hartog, fundamentalmente ensejaram a queda do Antigo Regime. O romance de Scott trata do encontro entre um jovem oficial do exército britânico de origem obscura e um antiquário na costa da Escócia na década de 1790. Não apenas ambos lidam com o mistério das origens do jovem oficial, mas também com o impacto das transformações políticas ocorridas no continente e como elas incidem na estrutura da sociedade britânica do período.
Nobreza e principais da terra - América Portuguesa, séculos XVII e XVIII
Authors: Raminelli Ronald
Published: August 2018

RESUMO O artigo analisa a formação da nobreza colonial a partir de provimentos régios, das concessões dos foros de fidalgo, títulos de cavaleiro das ordens militares e dos brasões de armas. Essas mercês, porém, não originaram a nobreza de sangue, pois raras famílias tiveram condições de manter as honras e os privilégios da nobreza por longo tempo. No ultramar a “nobreza da terra” não se apoiava nos títulos, mas no patrimônio, no controle de postos da administração local, e, sobretudo, de patentes militares. Recorrendo à base documental e à historiografia, o artigo pretende comprovar que os títulos não eram a condição sine quo non para ascensão social na sociedade colonial. Em geral, somente ao final de sua trajetória de sucesso os súditos ultramarinos pleiteavam e recebiam as honrarias da monarquia.
O padre, a vila e o galo da torre: padre Marcos de Araújo Costa e a vila de Jaicós (Piauí, 1832-1850)
Authors: Sousa Neto Marcelo de
Published: August 2018

RESUMO O presente estudo discute os primeiros anos de existência da vila de Jaicós, localizada no semiárido piauiense, tomando como fio condutor das análises os espaços de sociabilidades percorridos por padre Marcos de Araújo Costa e que se relacionam com a criação e o cotidiano da vila, entre os anos de 1832 e 1850. Padre Marcos, como ocupante de diversos cargos e funções no quadro administrativo provincial, fez-se atuante no processo de criação e edificação da vila de Jaicós, motivando a escolha metodológica utilizada, que adotou recortes de sua trajetória de vida como ponto de partida da escrita. Entende-se que Padre Marcos percorreu espaços privilegiados para a discussão que se propõe. Para a realização da pesquisa, além da literatura existente sobre o objeto, pôde-se contar com a documentação pertencente ao acervo do Arquivo Público do Estado do Piauí, documentos que possibilitaram novos olhares sobre a constituição e o cotidiano da Vila de Jaicós, bem como reflexões sobre outras dimensões do tecido social local no período estudado.

Abstract Introduction The effects of socioeconomic disparities on cognitive development tend to emerge early in infancy and to widen throughout childhood, and may perpetuate later in life. Although the study of how poverty affects early childhood has increased in the last 20 years, many of the effects remain largely unknown, especially during the first year of life. Aim To investigate the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) and maternal education on infants’ language, motor and cognitive development. Methods The cognitive, language and motor skills of 444 infants aged 6 to 9 months selected from a poor neighborhood in São Paulo, Brazil, were evaluated using the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. A questionnaire on socioeconomic background was administered to the participants’ families. Results A positive association was found between SES and infants’ performance on language and motor scales. Additionally, higher maternal education was associated with higher language and cognitive scores. Conclusion Our findings indicate that SES effects are detectable very early in infancy. This result has implications for the timing of both screening and intervention efforts to help children overcome the consequences of living in poverty.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the satisfaction of family caregivers with a mental health inpatient service in Brazil. Methods This was a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. A sample of 80 caretaking family members answered the abbreviated version of the Brazilian Mental Health Services’ Family Satisfaction scale (SATIS-BR) and a sociodemographic questionnaire. Categorical variables were expressed as frequencies and percentages and quantitative variables as means and standard deviations. Interactions among variables and indexes of the scale were analyzed using the Student’s t test, Pearson correlation coefficient and analysis of variance. Results The results showed a high mean overall satisfaction score when considering the categorization of the items of the scale, with higher satisfaction indexes in the ‘Treatment results’ subscale and lower ones in the ‘Reception and competence of staff’ and ‘Privacy and confidentiality’ subscales. In the comparison of the samples studied, greater scores were observed in general satisfaction and in factors in the medical residency care model than in the attending psychiatrist model. There were no significant differences in terms of family member satisfaction in relation to sociodemographic variables. Conclusion Family member satisfaction was high. The need for improvement in aspects related to the infrastructure of services was evident. This paper underlines the importance of continuous and regular evaluations of the services provided, focusing on the satisfaction of users and family members in order to better understand the factors that contribute towards the quality of care provided.

Published: August 2018

Abstract Objective To explore and describe a profile of patients admitted to a psychiatric emergency facility, comparing patients with and without a recent suicide attempt in terms of their clinical characteristics and aggression. Methods This was an exploratory comparative study where patients were assessed using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) and the Overt Aggression Scale (OAS). Participants with a suicide attempt in the last 24 hours (SA) were compared to participants with a prior history of suicide attempt but no recent attempt (PHSA). Results 63 individuals (SA: 26; PHSA: 37) were selected. Both groups had similar demographic and clinical characteristics. The most prevalent diagnoses were mood (57.1%) and personality (50.8%) disorders. The majority of patients in both groups had a history of aggression episodes. Physical aggression in the week prior to admission was more prevalent in the PHSA group (51.4 vs. 19.2%, p = 0.017). The PHSA group also presented higher activation scores (p = 0.025), while the SA group presented higher affect scores on BPRS dimensions (p = 0.002). Conclusion The majority of individuals with a history of suicide attempt also presented a history of aggression. Inpatients with recent suicide attempt were hospitalized mainly due to the risk of suicide, while those with no recent suicide attempt were hospitalized mainly due to the risk of hetero-aggression. These findings support the hypothesis of an aggressive profile in suicidal patients and may open up a path for future research.

Shear-friction behaviour on smooth interface between high-strength and lightweight concrete
Authors: Fang Zhuangcheng , Jiang Haibo , Liu Airong , Feng Jiahui , Li Yuhong
Published: August 2018

This study presents the results of ongoing research to investigate the shear-friction behaviour of the interface between high-strength (HS) concrete and lightweight (LW) concrete by conducting tests on 18 push-off specimens with a smooth interface condition. The primary parameters considered are the compressive strength of LW concrete and clamping stress through the shear interface. Together with test data from previous studies, the experimental results indicate that both LW concrete strength and clamping stress have an influence on interface shear capacity. Furthermore, an analytical model for predicting the ultimate resistance of the interface between HS and LW concrete is proposed, and the feasibility of this modified equation verified by the experimental results from related references.
Effects of uniaxial and triaxial compression tests on the frozen sandstone combining with CT scanning
Authors: Zhang Ge , Liu Enlong , Chen Shijie , Zhang De , Liu Xingyan , Yin Xiao , Song Bingtang
Published: August 2018

To explore the mechanical properties of frozen sandstone, the medical X-ray and self-designed triaxial equipment were applied to conduct the real-time uniaxial and triaxial compression scanning tests at room temperature of 20°C and different freezing temperatures of −2°C, −6°C and −10°C. Moreover, computed tomography (CT) scanning images of dry sandstone samples, saturated sandstone samples and saturated frozen sandstone samples were employed to compare and analyse their mechanical features. On the basis of the stress–strain curves and CT scanning images of frozen sandstone samples under different stress states, the influences of confining pressure and freezing temperature on the mechanical properties of frozen sandstone are explored, and the relationships between the average CT value and its variance of the three selected regions and the corresponding stress states are also analysed. In addition, a new damage variable of frozen sandstone based on the volume mean and variance of CT values of the whole sample is proposed to consider the evolving meso-structures in the loading process, and a damage constitutive model for frozen sandstone under uniaxial compression conditions is also formulated. Finally, comparing the experimental results with theoretical ones, the proposed damage model is verified to be capable of describing the stress–strain relationship of frozen sandstone.

PHENOMENON OF ELECTORAL CULTURE IN TRANSITIVE SOCIETIES
Authors: Polishchuk Іgor
Published: August 2018

The purpose of the paper is to show in a holistic form the scientific category «electoral culture» and its place in the scientific apparatus of political science. Applied a complex of general scientific and specific methods of scientific research, which are inherent in political science: system analysis, induction, behaviouristic method. The phenomenon of electoral culture as an important indicator of the development of transitive societies is considered. The definition of the term «electoral culture» is presented, the mechanism of formation of the electoral culture of the individual is revealed. Electoral culture is a stable system of knowledge, assessments and norms of electoral behavior and electoral relations, the electoral process as a whole, collective memory of people about electoral processes. Electoral culture has long been latent and is manifested and updated only during election campaign periods. In transitive societies, the real political functions of most citizens are limited to their participation in elections. It is shown that the indicators of the development of the electoral culture of a particular nation are electoral legislation, advertising campaigns aimed at supporting the political forces and their candidates for elected positions, as well as the final results of the elections. On the other hand, the mentioned factors are procedural periods, the characteristic features of which are determined by the national political and cultural factor. Political systems and institutions function properly only when implemented in an adequate cultural context, and actors operating in these systems have the appropriate characteristics. In transitive societies, the mechanism of electoral choice most adequately reflects the voting model for a positive image. It is concluded that the model of national-cultural identification is the most urgent for the entirely unformed Ukrainian nation.

How Signaling Principle Affects Learning: An Eye Tracking Study
Authors: DÖNMEZ Mehmet , DOĞAN Sibel , BARAN Evrim
Published: August 2018

Studies
examining the effects of signaling principle on learning mostly used data
sources such as interviews, achievement tests and think aloud protocols. There
is, however, limited research on the use of quantitative measures to promote
findings from interviews and think aloud procedures. This study aimed to
investigate the effects of signaling principle on learning by supporting the
results with the eye movement data. Participants included 34 Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) pre-service teachers divided into experimental
and control groups randomly. Participants were presented with two types of MS
Power Point presentations with and without highlighted clues as multimedia
material. Participants’ pre-test, post-test, and retention test scores were
measured. Participants’ gaze behavior (fixation duration, fixation counts and
time to first fixation) during the presentation of instructional material was
also recorded. The results revealed that while the experimental group had
higher scores than control group in the post- and retention tests, there was no
significant difference between the two groups. The analysis of eye movement
data showed that signaling directed the attention of the students on relevant
information and decreased students’ cognitive effort. Results revealed that
both eye movement data and achievement scores were consistent with each other.

Relevant data were collected with using a structured data form, analyzed using SPSS version 22 and logistic regression was done to determine factors associated with MNM.Results: The MNM incidence ratio was 17.4/1000 live births with overall mortality index of 17.5%. Hemorrhage (39.4%) was the commonest cause of MNM while uterine rupture (42.8%) was the most common cause of maternal death. Also, uterine rupture had the highest mortality index of 33.3%. Older age group, low education, rural dwellers and unbooked status of women were the significant determinants of MNM, p <0.05. The overall maternal death to near miss ratio was 1:4.7. The worst perinatal outcome occurred in women who suffered maternal death.Conclusions: The study showed suboptimal level of care for women with life threatening conditions. There is a need to develop evidence-based protocol for their management and provision of high dependency unit.

Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) interferes with the quality of life of an otherwise healthy woman. Until the pathology underlying menorrhagia is, accurately diagnosed, proper therapy is hardly possible. The objective of the study was to analyze different histopathological patterns of endometrium in AUB and observe the incidence of various pathologies in different age groups and their relation to parity.Methods: This two-year prospective studywas done in the department of pathology in atertiary care centre, which included 250 cases of clinically diagnosed AUB patients were evaluated. Histopathological examination of endometrial biopsies and hysterectomy specimens were done, followed by clinical correlation.Results: Out of 250 cases of AUB, Premenopausal bleeding was seen in 216 cases (86.4%) and 34 cases (13.6%) had postmenopausal bleeding. The commonest finding observed in the study was proliferative phase endometrium (37.2%), followed by secretory endometrium (34%) and endometrial hyperplasia (16%). Disordered proliferative endometrium was seen in 2.4% of patients. Endometrial carcinoma was seen in 4 (1.6%) cases. Endometrial hyperplasia was seen mostly in the age group 41-50 years (27 cases). Two cases of endometrial carcinomas were presented after age 60 years.Conclusions: Our study revealed the highest incidence of AUB in the perimenopausal age group (41-50 years). Hence a thorough histopathological workup and clinical correlation are mandatory in cases of abnormal uterine bleeding.

Background: Genital tuberculosis is an important cause of female infertility. It is estimated that 5-13 percent of females presenting themselves in infertility clinics in India have genital tuberculosis. Objective of present study was to compare the prevalence of symptoms suggestive of genital tuberculosis between the patients suffering from infertility and the patients with normal fertility.Methods: A random of 200 female OPD patients who were proved to be negative for genital TB (FGTB) by Microscopy, AFB culture, AFB-PCR and histopathology were retrospectively analyzed for presence of symptoms suggestive of FGTB. A comparative study was done to find any specific association of symptoms suggestive of FGTB with infertility.Results: Oligomenorrhoea was the only symptom significantly (p=0.02) associated with those suffering from infertility [n= 64 (32%)]. The rest of the symptoms suggestive of FGTB were not significantly associated with infertility.Conclusions: Symptoms suggestive of FGTB are present even in those who are proved Negative for FGTB and non-significantly associated with those with infertility in whom FGTB is expected to be an important cause. This paradox questions the specificity of these symptoms in developing a symptomatic diagnostic algorithm for FGTB.

Published: August 2018

Background: Vaginal hysterectomy -the signature operation of gynecologic profession, is a hallmark of gynecological extirpative hysterectomy surgery and surgical excellance1. In the era of minimal invasive surgery, Nondescent vaginal hysterectomy has evolved over the years and is opted over abdominal route. It is because of lower morbidity, less postoperative pain, more rapid   return to normal activities and lesser hospital stay associated with this route of surgery. Practice of hydrodissection with diluted adrenalin has been noticed by few surgeons.Methods: We did a retrospective analysis of 267 cases of vaginal hysterectomies in our hospital over a period of three years, regarding the benefit of hydro dissection in reducing the blood loss and time of surgery, so as to incorporate this technique on routine basis.Results: Of 267 cases, NDVH was done in 107 (40.1%) cases, and 160 (59.9%) patients underwent vaginal hysterectomy with PFR. Of 267 cases, 121 (45.3%) cases had hydro dissection. In 146 (54.7%) cases hydro dissection was not done. The mean blood loss was significantly reduced in cases with hydro dissection to a mean of 1.07 mops when compared to cases with no hydro dissection-mean of 1.71 mops. Duration of surgery was also significantly reduced to a mean of 39.9 minutes in cases with hydro dissection when compared to cases with no hydro dissection with a mean of 46.3 minutes. There was no significant change in duration of hospital stay.Conclusions: Hydro dissection with diluted adrenaline should be routinely practice by all vaginal surgeons to reduce the duration of surgery and intraoperative blood loss.

Background: This study aims to determine the maternal complications in twin pregnancy in North Indian population at tertiary institute.Methods: This was a retrospective cohort review of multiple pregnancies after 20 weeks gestation at a tertiary teaching hospital (2011-2015). Maternal data was collected from the labor room delivery data entry register and patient’s admission file. Patients with diabetes mellitus and chronic hypertension were excluded from the study.Results: Out of 19539 births during this period, 432 were twin pregnancies with an incidence of 22/1000 birth. Most of them were 282 (65.4%) were referred patients. Eighty seven percent patients were in the age group of 21-30 years and primigravida contributed to 45.7% of total patients. Maternal complications noticed were as preterm deliveries in 304 (70%), anaemia in 259(60%) patients, preterm rupture of membranes in 120 (39.4%) patients, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in 122(28.3%) patients, cholestasis of pregnancy in 24(5.5%) of patients, hypothyroidism in 22(5.1%) of patients, antepartum hemorrhage (APH) in 20(4.6%) and gestational diabetes mallitus (GDM) in 08(1.8%) of patients. Among postpartum complications, atonic postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) was observed in 44 (10.2%) and maternal mortality happened in 02(0.46%) cases.Conclusions: This study reveals higher percentage of, preterm labor, anaemia, and gestational hypertension than other studies. More number of intensive care unit should be established in high prevalence areas to prevent perinatal mortality due to prematurity. Treatment of anaemia requires more aggressive approach by considering intravenous iron whenever compliance is in doubt. Frequent antenatal care is required for early diagnosis of these complications to prevent maternal and fetal morbidity.
An observational study to determine accuracy of various methods used to assign gestational age and correlate with outcome
Authors: Singhal Neha , Gupta Alka S.
Published: August 2018

Background: Appropriate estimation of gestational age is paramount in obstetric care. Uncertain gestational age may lead to adverse pregnancy outcome like low birth weight, spontaneous or iatrogenic preterm delivery and perinatal mortality independent of maternal characteristics. In India, seeking of early medical attention in pregnancy is still not the norm. Three methods to estimate the estimated date of delivery are available, namely, menstrual history, clinical examination and by ultrasound.  This study attempts to analyse the accuracy of the three methods used and their correlation with maternal and fetal outcome.Methods: 260 patients presenting to the outpatient department were enrolled irrespective of the gestational age but as soon as they got registered. Ultrasonography was advised if the patient did not have one. EDD was calculated by various methods and was recorded. If significant discrepancy existed, EDD was reassigned. Patients were followed up till the time of their delivery. After the delivery of the baby gestational age was assessed by the neonatologist and was compared with the gestational age at the time of delivery by the three methods. Maternal and fetal outcomes were compared in the form of avoided inductions and maturity of the baby at the time of delivery by all the three methods.Results: The kappa coefficient for the agreement between dating by ultrasound scan and neonatologist was 0.415 whereas for menstrual dates and clinical examination it was 0.197 and 0.369 respectively thus it can be interpreted that the accuracy of ultrasonography may be slightly better than menstrual dates and clinical examination. 75 patients required reassigning of EDD, Induction of labor for supposed post-term pregnancy was avoided in 13% of the patients.Conclusions: Ultrasonography was found to be accurate for determination of term /preterm/ post-term births followed by clinical examination and then the menstrual EDD. Induction of labor for supposed post-term pregnancy was avoided in 13% of the patients in whom EDD was ”assigned” thus stressing that EDD should be reassigned when there is discrepancy between menstrual EDD, Ultrasonography EDD and EDD by clinical examination.

Background: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women worldwide.  The knowledge and attitude of nursing personnel towards cervical cancer screening can grossly influence the community. As the doctor to patient ratio is low in India, staff nurses if trained can act both as health educators and service providers. Objectives of the study were to determine the baseline information about the knowledge of cervical cancer and explore attitude and practice of Pap smear screening among staff nurses.Methods: In this cross-sectional study sample of 100 nurses was selected randomly out of the total 445 nurses employed in the hospital at a rural tertiary care centre from August 2016 to October 2016. A self-administered, structured, open ended and pretested questionnaire comprising of questions on the general characteristics, awareness, perceptions and actual practices of nursing personnel was used to gather information about cervical screening.Results: In this study, 82% knew that Pap smear can detect cancer. About 48% knew that it can present as post-menopausal bleeding and 32% of the respondents knew that HPV is a risk factor for cancer cervix, but only 30% knew about HPV vaccine and only 35% have ever been screened.Conclusions: The study showed that, knowledge about cancer cervix, screening and practice of Pap smear is low among nursing staff. There is an urgent need for integration of cervical cancer prevention issues in the nurses existing training curriculum.
