Cytological Grading of Breast Cancer on Fine Needle Aspirates (FNA): Why Bother?
Authors: Ejeckam G. C. , Al Ansari N. , Al Said A. , Chong-Lopez A.
Published: July 2019

FNA has emerged as a powerful and accurate diagnostic tool for breast carcinomas. In the experienced hands false positive and false negative diagnosis have been reduced to a minimum. It has also been recognized that besides diagnosis, several other important clinical prognostic information can be obtained from FNA material. These include estrogen and progesterone recep-tor assay, proliferative fraction and oncogene products. These are achieved by subjecting the FNA material to immunoperoxidase methods, ploidy analysis an'd S phase frac-tion on flow cytometry. Lately cytological grading of breast cancer has been added to these investigations 1.2.3.4.5 Since histology is the gold standard in the diagnosis of breast cancer, and since the FNA obviously may not sample enough breast volume, the question is why bother with cytological grading of breast cancer? Why don't we wait and do the grading on histol-ogy where several sections would be examined and thereby cover any kind of variations in the tumor? On the other hand histo-logical grading of breast carcinoma assesses mainly nuclei mor-phology and architectural configurations.

Authors: Ganesan S. , Al Juffairi A. A. , Makki H. , Bhat V. , Al Qahtani A. S. , Al Keldi A.
Published: July 2019

Bilateral congenital choanal atresia (CCA) in newbornscarries significant morbidity and mortality. Many surgical approaches have been described for its correction but none of the approaches have proved superior in preventing postoperative granulation tissue and restenosis. Recently, topical Mitomycin C (MMC) has been used intraoperatively to prevent the formation of granulation tissue and restenosis in choanal atresia repair. We report a series of three consecutive patients who underwent bilateral CCA repair and received topical MMC intraoperatively. We have used topical MMC in CCA repair for the first time in Qatar and report the outcome of these patients. Case 1 was a preterm child (29 gestational weeks) who underwent transnasal repair. Case 2 had CHARGE association and case 3 had no other anomalies, both of whom underwent transpalatal repair. In case 1, we had used topical MMC \ during revision surgery with improved outcome. In cases 2 and 3, topical MMC was applied during primary repair and in addition both received a second application selectively at the margins of the choanae 6 weeks after stent removal. Case 3 needed further dilatation of the choanae four months after second application of topical MMC. None of our patients developed any local or systemic side effects. To our knowledge, bilateral CCA repair in a 29 weeks gestational age child has not been reported in the literature. Our study suggests that topical MMC may be a useful adjunctive therapy in choanal atresia repair.
Clinical Pattern of Behcet Disease in Jordan
Authors: Mustafa T. A. A. , Hadid A. A.
Published: July 2019

The medical records were reviewed of 124 patients (108 males, 16 females) with Behget disease attending the King Hussein Medical Center and Prince Rashed Bin Al-Hasan Military Hospital, Jordan, between January 1996 and June 2001. The clinical pattern, manifestations and clinical course in Jordanian patients were compared with those in other countries of the region. There was some variation in the frequency of lesions in the sample compared to these other countries but it was concluded that the “Silk Road Disease” does pass through Jordan without having any specific features.

Background: Serum creatinine is the most commonly used screening test for renal failure. We hypothesized that serum creatinine would underestimate the degree of renal failure in elderly people because they have a reduced muscle mass. If so, this would lead to underrecognition and thus suboptimal care of patients with severe renal failure.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective medical record review of all patients 65 years or older in an outpatient academic family medicine practice. The glomerular filtration rate was calculated using the Cockcroft and Gault formula and was used to evaluate the testing characteristics of serum creatinine for the detection of renal failure.

Published: July 2019

Objectives: To investigate maternal and neonatal outcomes of pregnancies in women with different types of diabetes in Qatar. To identify factors such as age, family history of diabetes and obesity contributing to the increased risk of GD.

Design: The design of this study is retrospective.

Materials and Methods: il4 pregnant women with different types of diabetes including 143(28%) Impaired Glucose Tolerance Test (IGTT), 334(65%) Gestational Diabetes (GD), 26(5%) Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) and 11(2%) Non Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (NIDDM) who delivered between Jan - June 2004formed the subject of this study.Data extracted from the files included maternal characteristics, fetal and maternal complications.

Result: Eight women had abortions and two had stillbirths, leaving a final dataset comprising 504 women (141 IGTT, 332 GDM, 21 IDDM and 10 NIDDM). Two hundred and eighty three (56.2%) were Qatari.53 %(n = 267) aged >30 years, 57.5 %(n = 290) had family history of diabetes, only 16.1 %(n = 81) treated by insulin.Polyhydramnios was the most common antenatal complication occurred in 15 %(n = 76). No maternal mortality.The overall Cesarean section was 6.2 %(n = 31),.Preterm delivery 5.8 %(n = 29). Macrosomia appeared in 7.3 %(n = 37) infants and congenital malformations in 2 %(n = 10) infants.

Conclusions: We observed that the risk factors for GDM found in other studies are generally valid for our population. Also we found that IDDM has a poorer outcome than NIDDM. However a future prospective study is need it to draw firm conclusions regarding the relative magnitudes of the adverse effects between the different diabetic groups

Published: July 2019

To study the outcome of various methods of endometrial ablation as a treatment of heavy vaginal bleeding, the records and post-operative histories were reviewed of 122 women with a mean age of 47 years who attended the Women's Hospital, Doha, Qatar, between January 2002 and December 2005. Post-operative amenorrhea, oligomenorrhea, or a normal flow plus a satisfied patient were considered evidence of success; a needforfurther medical or surgical intervention was consideredfailure. Fifty-eight women (47.5%) had Thermachoice Balloon Ablation with a success rate of 83%; 37 (30%) had Microwave Endometrial Ablation (MEA) with 71% success; and27 (22%) had Transcervical Resection of Endometrium (TCRE) with 74% success. Apart from the duration of the procedures there were no statistically significant differences in age, parity, pre-operative haemoglobin and platelets, presence of fibroids, pre-operative endometrial preparation by hormones, or final satisfaction level. It is concluded that Balloon Thermal Ablation, MEA and TCRE are equally effective for the treatment of abnormal vaginal bleeding.

Predictors of delayed pre-hospital presentation among patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
Authors: Albrahim Mohammed , Ahmed Amjad M. , Alwakeel Abdulrahman , Hijji Faisal , Al-Mallah Mouaz H.
Published: July 2019

Background: Early treatment of ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is essential to improve survival of these patients. However, not all patients present early enough to receive optimal treatment especially in third world countries. Social factors affecting early vs. late treatment have not been studied, particularly in the Middle East. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the social factors associated with delayed presentation of STEMI patients. Methods: All patients with STEMI presenting to King Abdulaziz Cardiac Center (KACC) between October 2013 and July 2014 were approached. After obtaining consent, patients were interviewed regarding their psychosocial circumstances using a standardized questionnaire. Their medical charts were also reviewed for further clinical data. Patients were divided according to their symptom-to-door time into early ( ≤ 6h) and late (>6h) presentation and group comparisons were conducted. Results: A total of 79 patients were enrolled, of which 24 patients (30%) presented late. Patients with increased symptom-to-door time had higher prevalence of diabetes (40% vs. 79.2%, p = 0.001), hypertension (43.6% vs. 70.8%, p = 0.023), and dyslipidemia (23.6% vs. 54.2%, p = 0.009). Most of the late presenters did not undergo primary coronary intervention (72.7% vs. 47.8%, P = 0.034) and had less prior information about myocardial infarction (43.6% vs. 25%, P = 0.023). Late presenters were more often illiterates and lived most often far away from the hospital. Using multivariate logistic regression; dyslipidemia was the only independent predictor for the late hospital presentation for STEMI patients. Conclusion: One third of patients with STEMI present more than six hours after symptom onset; these patients have a higher prevalence of coronary risk factors and less information about STEMI. Programs should be designed to educate patients and the general public about the symptoms of STEMI and the necessary action to be taken if a heart attack is suspected.

In reviewing Melikyan et al., we discuss what we think are weaknesses in the case report. The authors did not report on known risk factors for cerebrovascular accident and vertebral artery dissection. Known symptoms that appear early in vertebral artery dissection were not reported or denied, specifically related to changes in the patient's pattern of neck pain. Causality was assumed when only a weak temporal relation was involved. Finally, the case report makes it appear that the manipulation was performed by someone other than a chiropractor but therefore erroneously uses chiropractic in the title.
Human Diversity in the Mirror of Religious Pluralism
Authors: Bendeck Sotillos Samuel
Published: July 2019

While the contemporary world has been heralded as being “post-racial”, we can look all-around to see evidence that this assertion is not only flawed but false. Religion is generally blamed as the key culprit for the escalating conflicts igniting the world over which threatens peace. Yet, rarely is secularism and the void created in its midst carefully analyzed in this context. The historical roots of this problem are more remote than postmodernism and modernism. However, secularism has fractured the way that human identity has been understood throughout time which eclipses the integral relationship between human diversity and religious pluralism.
Karen Armstrong, Fields of Blood: Religion and the History of Violence
Authors: Mrahorović Senad
Published: July 2019

The recent work by Karen Armstrong entitled Fields of Blood is more than a new contribution to the ongoing debate about religious extremism, radicalism, fanaticism and the so-called religious terrorism that is so much present in our world. It also provides an in-depth scholarly attempt to explain the historical roots of violence in human history. Penned by the author whose numerous other works on religious subjects like A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam; The Battle for God: Fundamentalism in Judaism, Christianity and Islam; The Case for God: What Religions Really Means to name but a few, have earned her the status of a very distinguished and respected scholar in the field of religious studies, Fields of Blood is a synthesis of her scholarship on religious and non-religious violence from ancient times to the present day. The book places the question of religious violence in a larger context that takes into account as well its socio-economic, political and cultural roots.

اعتدنا في العالم الغربي اعتبار الدين الإسلامي على أنه ديانة محاربة بشكل جوهري، وبالتالي نلاحظ أنه لما تذكر مسألة الحسام أو السيف فإن الكلمة تؤخذ بمعناها الحرفي فقط، من دون التفكير ولا التساؤل عما إذا كان هنالك في الواقع معنى أو شيئا آخر وراءه لا مجال لمناقشة وجود جانب متعلق بالحرب في الدين الإسلامي، ذلك ثابت، ولكن من غير أن يكون من خواصه الأصلية المميزة، إذ أننا نجد ذلك أيضا في معظم الديانات الأخرى حتى الديانة المسيحية.

L’État islamique, entre tradition réinventée et utopie politico-religieuse
Authors: Benraad Myriam
Published: July 2019

In 2014, many saw in the establishment of the Islamic State over parts of Iraq and Syria and in the subsequent “restoration” of the Caliphate by Emir Abou Bakr al-Baghdadi a "return" to the foundations of Islam as well as the fulfilment of the dream of an Islamic "renewal". The Islamic State was thus depicted by its supporters as a political entity that was supposed to have existed since the beginning of Islamic political history and as being an intrinsic part of traditional Islamic jurisprudence. In fact, however, the Islamic State belongs largely to an “invented tradition” and is better interpreted as a politico-religious utopia, with little connection to the past.

Scrutinising the Socio-Demographic Pattern of Parenting Practices and Parenting Styles in Upholding Child’s Protection and Privacy to Address Paedophilia Issue
Authors: Hamid Siti Nur Fathanah Abd , Ahmad Yarina , Tahir Nor Suziwana
Published: July 2019

Paedophilia issue has become a global issue around the world, including Malaysia. In today’s era of globalisation and modernisation, the seriousness of paedophilia issue is undeniable. As the closest persons to children, parents have been recognised as the critical actor that contributes to children’s protection and security. However, research related to “parenting practices” and “parenting styles” specifically to address the paedophilia issue remains limited in Malaysian context. Thus, a doctoral research, conducted by one of the authors, aimed to fill the gap. Based on the findings, this paper presents the socio-demographic and sociocultural pattern of Malaysian parents in upholding child protection and privacy to prevent paedophilia issue. A survey involving 900 parents representing the equal number of genders (male and female) and ethnicities (Malays, Chinese and Indian) was undertaken. Based on the statistical analysis, there were two key findings highlighted in this paper, which were: (1) the socio-demographic pattern revealed that female parents have higher interest in upholding the child protection and privacy, as compared to male parents; and (2) the socio-cultural pattern showed that Indian parents have high commitment in upholding the child protection and privacy, followed by Malay and Chinese parents. Although every parent has different approaches in upholding their children’s protection and privacy; however, this paper argued that the socio-demographic and socio-cultural aspects are among the main indicators influencing parenting practices and parenting styles in Malaysia.

Despite the increase market in catering industry by 37% per year, the number of SME-catering service firms is only 30.000, or only 5% from the total number of SME in 2016. From 30,000 registered catering service company, only 10% is an active business with annual growth rate (3%). In order to achieve competitive advantage and growth, firms will develop appropriate competitive strategy, strategy which directly relate to firm performance. The purpose of this paper is to develop a better understanding of the relationship between competitive strategy and firm performance in a different entrepreneurial orientation (EO) dimension. The statistical results revealed a) innovativeness, risk taking and proactivenss were found to have a significant and positive moderating effect on the relationship between differentiation strategy and firm performance b) innovativeness, risk taking and proactivenss were found to have a significant and positive moderating effect on the relationship between CL strategy and firm performance.

Published: July 2019

The main aim of this study is to identify purchase intention among Malaysian online consumer towards online store. A recent data provided by MCMC indicate that only 9.3 percent of Internet users in Malaysia admitted doing online purchasing despite huge number reflects Malaysian is heavy Internet users. This is due to the factors that the consumers are feared towards risk they may get during shopping online and this can affect their purchase intention activities. The finding identified that privacy risk and delivery risk are significant to purchase intention among online consumers in Malaysia. Meanwhile, financial risk, product performance risk, time risk, psychological risk, social risk and after-sale risk are not significant to purchase intention. This indicated that Malaysian online consumers tend to care their personal information has been misused by third parties within their permission in order to prevent privacy risk in online shopping activities.
Fiscal Consolidation in Federal Belgium

Fiscal Consolidation in Federal Belgium: Collective Action Problem and Solutions

Fiscal consolidation confronts federal states with a collective action problem, especially in federations with a tightly coupled fiscal regime such as Belgium. However, the Belgian federation has successfully solved this collective action problem even though it lacks the political institutions that the literature on dynamic federalism has identified as the main mechanisms through which federal states achieve cooperation across levels of government. This article argues that the regionalization of the party system, on the one hand, and the rationalization of the deficit problem by the High Council of Finance, on the other, are crucial to understand how Belgium was able to solve the collective action problem despite its tightly coupled fiscal regime and particularly high levels of deficits and debts. The article thus emphasizes the importance of compromise and consensus in reducing deficits and debts in federal states.

Published: July 2019

Two Portland cement pastes, CEM I 42.5R and CEM III/A 52.5N were exposed to leaching by soft water throughout a one–year hydration period. Mobility of trace elements was investigated by determination of their pore solution concentration in the course of time. Eleven trace elements were included in this research: antimony, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, copper, mercury, nickel, lead, vanadium and zinc. The possible usage of the pore solution trace elements concentration in monitoring of deleterious leaching reactions and prediction of environmental risk was investigated.

Authors: Bušić Valentina , Vrandečić Karolina , Siber Tamara , Roca Sunčica , Vikić Topić Dražen , Gašo Sokač Dajana
Published: July 2019

Ten novel isonicotinamide derivatives were prepared by quaternization reactions of isonicotinamide with methyl iodide and nine differently substituted 2 bromoacetophenones under rapid microwave irradiation of 10 minutes. The microwave preparations were significantly faster and with yields higher up to 8 times, than the preparations by conventional method. The structures of synthesized molecules were determined by one- and two dimensional NMR and IR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and elemental analysis. Antifungal activity of all compounds was tested in two different concentrations (10 and 100 µg mL–1) against Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium culmorum, Macrophomina phaseolina and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum in vitro. From the antifungal assay it can be seen that the most prepared compounds have moderate to weak activity against M. phaseolina and F. culmorum. A very high inhibitory rate was observed against S. sclerotiorum, 62–87.5 % in concentration of 10 µg mL–1 and 83.7–93.2 % in concentration of 100 µg mL–1.

Bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) waste were used as a raw material for producing activated carbon (AC). The materials were collected and turned into AC by carbonization (500 °C, 1.67 °C.min-1, 60 min) and activation (800 °C, 10 °C.min-1, 60 min) processes with CO2 (100 mL.min-1). The obtained material (CO2 AC) was characterized by its yield, elemental analysis, ash content, methylene blue and iodine indexes, surface area (SBET), Boehm titration method, scanning electron microscopy and used as adsorbent for removing the methylene blue and phenol contaminants. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms models were selected for understanding the adsorption process. CO2 AC produced showed yield of 21.6%, carbon content of 82.13% and SBET of 856.78 m2.g-1, presenting rapid removal and high adsorption capacity for methylene blue (298.82 mg.g-1) and phenol (558.29 mg.g-1).
Conselhos Escolares na Rede Estadual do Rio de Janeiro: participação ou participacionismo?
Authors: Goulart Janaina Moreira de Oliveira , Amaral Daniela Patti do
Published: July 2019

A presente discussão se propõe a refletir sobre a participação, na perspectiva da gestão democrática, dos membros dos conselhos escolares no âmbito da rede estadual do Rio Janeiro, partindo das análises dos textos produzidos pela Secretaria de Estado de Educação (SEEDUC/RJ) e dos contextos que influenciaram a instituição dos organismos colegiados nesta rede. O artigo apresenta um debate sobre o cenário em que foram instituídos os conselhos escolares nas escolas estaduais e, para tanto, analisou-se os textos oficiais que tratam das competências dos membros do órgão. Sublinha-se a ausência do caráter deliberativo deste colegiado conforme determinado pela legislação que o regulamentou. A discussão traz elementos para a reflexão da transformação social por meio da participação dos sujeitos, propondo um processo dialógico e participativo que não dependam exclusivamente de leis, mas que, sobretudo, estejam articulados com os propósitos de se concretizar os ideais de uma  sociedade mais justa, partindo de relações mais horizontais. Acreditamos que a ausência do caráter deliberativo poderá interferir nas estratégias de uma gestão democrática, levando a crer que descaracteriza a concepção de participação no seu sentido mais amplo, dando lugar a uma forma mais semelhante de participacionismo (TRAGTENBERG, 2005)
Leitura e Escrita colaborativa na aula de Filosofia utilizando Grupos do Facebook e Google Docs
Authors: Moraes Simone Becher Araujo
Published: July 2019

O presente trabalho é parte de uma pesquisa de doutorado em Educação, cujo principal objetivo é compreender quais os limites e possibilidades de aprender e ensinar a Ler e Escrever em Filosofia no Ensino Médio utilizando as Tecnologias Digitais. Neste trabalho é trazido um relato de experiência realizada com uma turma de terceiro ano do ensino médio de uma escola pública no Sul do Brasil no início do ano de 2017. Neste experimento foram utilizadas as ferramentas de Grupo do Facebook e Google Docs para ensino e aprendizagem de Leitura e Escrita em Filosofia. Como procedimentos, foram utilizados: o estudo experimental e survey. A metodologia para trabalho de leitura de texto filosófico teve como inspiração a obra de Rodrigo (2014) que em seu livro: “Filosofia em sala de aula”, sugere o trabalho com um método que privilegia o procedimento analítico composto por três etapas: 1) Esclarecimento semântico e conceitual; 2) Estruturação lógica do raciocínio; 3) Visão sintética do texto. Além destas três etapas, foi proposta uma quarta que consiste na produção escrita dos estudantes utilizando o Google Docs e o Grupo do Facebook. O texto escolhido para este experimento o “ Discurso do Método” de René Descartes (1996), primeira e segunda partes. Pôde-se concluir que, apesar das dificuldades enfrentadas pelos alunos na parte de leitura, interpretação e escrita do texto filosófico, as ferramentas serviram como suporte dinamizador e possibilitador da aprendizagem colaborativa e de uma escrita mais dinâmica dentro deste contexto cada vez mais virtual em que estamos todos inseridos. Desta forma, percebeu-se que as dificuldades não concentram-se nas ferramentas que utilizamos, mas sim na questão do contato com os exercícios de Leitura e Escrita que precisam ser incorporados no cotidiano das aulas de filosofia e que pode ser potencializado pelas ferramentas das Tecnologias Digitais.

Ensino de Filosofia e Ensino de Ciências: um estranho silêncio
Authors: Nagayoshi Caio Seiji , Scarpa Daniela Lopes
Published: July 2019

Na área de ensino de filosofia, poucos trabalhos têm sido publicados com foco no ensino de filosofia da ciência. Contudo, na área de ensino de ciências, há amplo reconhecimento de que a introdução de elementos de filosofia da ciência na escola pode contribuir para a alfabetização científica. O argumento é de que não basta que os alunos aprendam conceitos científicos; eles devem aprender, também, sobre a atividade científica e o conhecimento científico por ela produzido, isto é, sobre a natureza da ciência (NdC). O presente artigo apresenta um breve panorama das pesquisas sobre o tema na área de ensino de ciências. Argumenta-se que, apesar da atual falta de comunicação entre as áreas de ensino de filosofia e ensino de ciências, um maior diálogo entre elas seria benéfico para ambas.

Published: July 2019

Este artigo apresenta um relato de experiência realizada com uma turma do 9º ano do Ensino Fundamental. A metodologia utilizada para realizar a intervenção partiu do pressuposto de que precisamos conhecer o universo cultural do aluno para a partir daí elaborar o planejamento, com vistas a desenvolver sua autonomia. Então, a partir de um questionário com aquele intuito, foi elaborado o plano de aula “Liberdade X Destino”. Os passos didáticos foram uma mescla das sequências abordadas por Kohan (1999) baseado em Lipman (1995) e Trombetta (2002; 2013), os quais se seguem: sensibilização, problematização, investigação filosófica e sistematização. A partir da avaliação dos alunos sobre o que mais gostaram da aula, todos de certa forma se referiram ao debate, sendo que um especificou que ao exporem ideias diferentes das suas nos debates, eles puderam pensar para além da sua própria. Isso nos chamou muito a atenção e nos deixou muito satisfeitos, pois um dos principais objetivos de uma aula de filosofia é permitir ampliar os pontos de vista sobre os problemas, e foi isso que procuramos fazer, não criar um consenso, mas sim estimular que cada um conseguisse refletir sobre os diferentes pontos de vista.
La sustitución lingüística del guanche en las Islas Canarias, un caso excepcional en la historia del mundo bereber = The Language Shift of Guanche Language in the Canary Islands, an Exceptional Case in the History of the Berber’s World
Authors: Sosa Martín Rumen
Published: July 2019

El proceso de sustitución lingüística de la lengua bereber se remonta a los tiempos de apogeo de la expansión fenicia en el Mediterráneo y persiste hasta nuestros días. En las Islas Canarias esta lengua fue sustituida por el castellano en un dilatado proceso que se extendió durante el siglo XV y XVI. A pesar de la complejidad de este proceso en el continente africano, resulta difícil hallar analogías con el caso insular. Inserto en el proceso de castellanización, el proceso canario presenta unas características sociohistóricas que la convierten en un caso único en el ámbito del mundo amazige. Abstract Language shift process of Berber language goes back to the growth of the Phoenician expansion in the Mediterranean and it continues to this day. In the Canary Islands, Berber language was replaced by Spanish language during a lengthy process which lasted from 15th to 16th century. Despite the complexity of this process on the continent of Africa, it is very difficult to find analogies with the insular case there. Within a hispanization process, Canarian process show certain socio-historic specificities that it unique in the Amazigh World.

101 KM. EN 24 H. Y LOS ESPÍRITUS LEGIONARIOS: UNA OCASIÓN PARA PENSARNOS
Authors: Acuña Delgado Ángel
Published: July 2019

Resumen: Entre las muchas carreras ultra largas que tienen lugar dentro del panorama español, los 101 km. en 24 h. de Ronda organizados por La Legión se han consolidado como una de las más emblemáticas y singulares. Cumplidos ya los 20 años de historia, el éxito de participación y la expectación que genera la convierten en un fenómeno social que sobrepasa la esfera de lo deportivo. Contrastando la experiencia práctica y el material etnográfico producido en 1999 y 2000, con la revisión histórica y al análisis de contenido del material obtenido de la literatura e internet en 2016 y 2017, respondemos aquí a cómo los denominados “espíritus legionarios” son gestionados por los organizadores en la carrera para hablar de sí mismos, y cómo éstos cobran sentido para los participantes del evento.Abstract: Among the many ultra long races that take place within the Spanish panorama, the 101 kilometers in 24 hours of Ronda, organized by the Legion (specialized group of the Spanish army), have been consolidated as one of the most emblematic and singular ones. Once the 20 years of history have been fulfilled, the success in participation and expectation that generates, make it a social phenomenon that exceeds the sportive aspects. Checking the practical experience and the ethnographic information produced in 1999 and 2000, attached to the historical review and the analysis of literature and Internet data collected between 2016 and 2017, we try to respond here how the named "legionary spirits" are managed by the organizers in the race to talk about themselves, and how it make sense for the participants of the event.

Turismo y gentrificación. La reestructuración social, económica y espacial de tres ciudades de Europa y América Latina
Authors: Mansilla López José A.
Published: July 2019

El turismo destaca como una de las más importantes políticas de dinamización urbana puestas en marcha durante las últimas décadas. Bajo determinadas circunstancias, turismo y gentrificación pueden acabar por difuminarse, de manera que ambas dinámicas se retroalimenten de forma continua, acentuando algunos de sus efectos. Las necesidades de producción del espacio, pero también los cambios habidos en los consumidores del mismo, suponen otro de los elementos comunes a ambos procesos. Aunque situadas en ámbitos territoriales diferentes, tres barrios de las ciudades de Palma de Mallorca, Berlín y Quito mantienen casuísticas similares en lo que respecta a la interrelación entre turismo y gentrificación, y todas han puesto en marcha medidas destinadas a controlar los impactos más perjudiciales.Tourism stands out as one of the most important urban promotion policies develop during the last decades. Under certain circumstances, tourism and gentrification may end up blurring, so that both processes are fed back on a continuous basis, accentuating some of their effects. The space production needs, but also the changes in the consumers of the same, suppose other of the common elements of both dynamics. Although located in different territorial areas, three neighborhoods in the cities of Palma de Mallorca, Berlin and Quito, maintain similar cases regarding the interrelation between tourism and gentrification and all have put in place measures aimed at controlling the most damaging impacts.
Avaliação da dinâmica do desflorestamento legal no estado do Amapá com a utilização de geotecnologias
Authors: Costa José Douglas Monteiro da , Santos Sávio Luis Carmona , Funi Cláudia
Published: July 2019

O estado do Amapá é o mais conservado do Brasil, com 97% de cobertura florestal intacta, um total de 73% do território do Estado corresponde às áreas protegidas que incluem unidades de conservação e terras indígenas ou quilombolas. No entanto, nos últimos anos não houve estudos técnico-científicos com o objetivo de mensurar e identificar o desmatamento autorizado no Estado, pois sem a distinção do desflorestamento ilegal do legal não é possível direcionar ações e políticas públicas aplicadas diretamente às atividades ilegais. O objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi analisar o impacto do desflorestamento ilegal no desflorestamento total do estado do Amapá nos anos de 2013 e 2014, através de ferramentas de geotecnologia. Para a análise espacial foi utilizado o Sistema de Informação Geográfica (SIG) a partir do software ArcGIS, e shapefile de áreas desflorestadas e autorizações de desmatamento, emitidas pelo órgão competente, sendo elas espacializadas e comparadas. Os resultados mostraram que nos anos de 2013 e 2014 o desflorestamento não autorizado chegou a 50,13%, que correspondeu a 3.493,58 hectares, ou seja, mais da metade do desflorestamento detectado pela Secretaria de Estado e Meio Ambiente foi realizado ilegalmente no estado do Amapá. Ficou evidente que a geotecnologia é uma ferramenta muito útil devido à sua funcionalidade, demonstrando a possibilidade e necessidade da aplicação de geoprocessamento para a análise do desmatamento legal, com a espacialização das autorizações de desmatamento.

Published: July 2019

As universidades, em suas atividades administrativas, de ensino e pesquisa, são organizações que geram uma quantidade considerável de resíduos. Assim, o presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar como ocorre o gerenciamento de resíduos em uma universidade pública, tendo como campo de estudo a Universidade Federal Rural do Semi-Árido (UFERSA). Para isso, desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa exploratória, com o uso de pesquisa bibliográfica para se obter um maior entendimento sobre o gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos em universidades, a Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, e sobre as normas e regulamentos na área de sustentabilidade aplicados ao setor público e especificamente à UFERSA; também desenvolveu-se uma pesquisa documental, com a análise do Plano de Logística Sustentável (PLS) da universidade estudada; e um estudo de caso sobre o gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos na UFERSA, com o uso das técnicas de coleta de dados de observação direta e aplicação de questionários de perguntas abertas a servidores da instituição ligados à gestão ambiental. Os dados coletados foram expostos neste estudo por meio de relato detalhado do processo de gerenciamento de resíduos do campus sede da UFERSA, consubstanciado por registros fotográficos. Com isso, atingiu-se o objetivo proposto e concluiu-se que a organização estudada tem atingido as metas de gestão ambiental estabelecidas em seu PLS, bem como tem cumprido determinações contidas na legislação sobre o gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos. O estudo deixou como sugestão a ampliação do programa de gerenciamento de resíduos sólidos para o demais campi, tornando as práticas sustentáveis um modelo padrão para toda a universidade.
Atuação da fisioterapia motora em crianças com hidrocefalia: uma revisão de literatura
Authors: Costa Eliane Alves , Duarte Lúcio Flávio Oliveira , Silva Karla Camila Correia
Published: July 2019

A hidrocefalia é caracterizada pelo aumento do volume do líquido cefalorraquidiano (LCR) associado à dilatação dos ventrículos cerebrais, sendo, muitas vezes, consequência de uma obstrução da circulação liquórica. O tratamento se dá através de cirurgia; porém, isso pode ocasionar lesões ao desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor, necessitando de uma assistência da equipe multidisciplinar. A fisioterapia, por sua vez, trata e adequa o desenvolvimento desses pacientes utilizando métodos específicos, enfatizando a qualidade de vida desses pacientes. Tem-se como objetivo analisar os efeitos da estimulação motora no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor em crianças de 0 a 2 anos com hidrocefalia. Com o auxílio dos descritores, encontrou-se 35 artigos. Após a aplicação dos filtros: data de publicação (2008-2018), idiomas (inglês, português e espanhol) e textos completos, e após análise criteriosa dos achados, selecionou-se uma quantidade de 25 periódicos para a confecção do presente trabalho. A hidrocefalia é uma patologia que afeta especialmente as crianças. Seu tratamento, na maioria das vezes, é realizado através de processo cirúrgico logo após o nascimento. Contudo, esse tratamento pode influenciar negativamente no seu desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor. Essa criança necessitará de estímulos adequados e um acompanhamento da equipe muldisciplinar. A fisioterapia por sua vez utiliza métodos específicos para tratar e prevenir alterações e retardos cognitivos e motores, métodos esses que utilizam bases e princípios próprios de cada criador, mas que contribuem de forma significativamente satisfatória para um prognóstico favorável dessas crianças, fazendo com que elas tenham um desenvolvimento motor dentro dos padrões normais e o mais importante, com qualidade de vida.

Published: July 2019

A microcefalia é uma doença congênita que impede o crescimento normal do crânio da criança, quando comparadas a outras de mesma idade e sexo. Esta doença cursa com crescimento insuficiente do cérebro o que pode evoluir com diversas sequelas como atraso do desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor, dificuldade visual e auditiva, atraso mental, retardo na função motora seguido de disfunção da sensibilidade, fala, concepção e comportamento, hiperatividade, déficits de equilíbrio e coordenação, alterações faciais e respiratórias, acarretando transtornos musculoesqueléticos como deformações e contraturas. A família não estava preparada para lidar com um bebê com microcefalia e experimentará sentimentos de incerteza sobre a doença, sobrevivência e futuro da criança, além da mudança da rotina e dinâmica familiar, dependência de tratamentos e assistência de outras pessoas ou familiares. A criança necessitaram ser acompanhada por uma equipe multiprofissional e orientada a estimular o desenvolvimento e prevenir alterações e comprometimentos importantes no desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor. Para isso, necessitará receber muito apoio e orientação sobre estimulação e domiciliares. O objetivo deste estudo é realizar uma revisão bibliográfica para levantar as estratégias que podem ser usadas pela família para potencializar o desenvolvimento da criança com microcefalia. O estudo caracteriza-se como revisão bibliográfica, baseado em documentos governamentais e análise de artigos científicos publicados entre 2008 e 2018, através de consultas documentos governamentais e bases de dados on-line como SciELO, LILACS e Google Acadêmico entre fevereiro e abril de 2018, protagonizando as palavras chaves microcefalia, estimulação precoce, família, criança e desenvolvimento infantil. É de fundamental importância a articulação da família na extensão do seu domicílio para complementar as ações do fisioterapeuta e demais profissionais que acompanha esta criança. A família deve ter ação ativa na estimulação precoce da criança com microcefalia, através de estímulos táteis, auditivos, visuais, proprioceptivos, vestibulares, motores, e também ser encorajada a integrar-se a grupos de apoio à família, a fim de romper as barreiras do medo, angústia e da informação acerca do contexto que envolve seu filho.
