Minimizing complications in bikini incision direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty: A single surgeon series of 865 cases
Authors: Alva Avinash , Nizam Ikram , Gogos Sophia
Published: January 2021

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to report all complications during the first consecutive 865 cases of bikini incision direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed by a single surgeon. The secondary aims of the study are to report our clinical outcomes and implant survivorship. We discuss our surgical technique to minimize complication rates during the procedure.

Methods

We undertook a retrospective analysis of our complications, clinical outcomes and implant survivorship of 865 DAA THA’s over a period of 6 years (mean = 3.9yrs from 0.9 to 6.8 years).

Results

The complication rates identified in this study were low. Medium term survival at minimum 2-year survival and revision as the end point, was 99.53% and 99.84% for the stem and acetabular components respectively. Womac score improved from 49 (range 40–58) preoperatively to 3.5(range 0–8.8) and similarly, HHS scores improved from 53(range 40–56) to 92.5(range 63–100) at final follow-up (mean = 3.9 yrs) when compared to preoperative scores.

Conclusions

These results suggest that bikini incision DAA technique can be safely utilised to perform THA.

Background

Many evidence-based clinical decision tools are available for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). However, these clinical decision tools have had suboptimal uptake in the everyday clinical practice in emergency departments (EDs), despite numerous implementation efforts. We aimed to test the feasibility of a multi-faceted intervention to implement an evidence-based PE diagnosis protocol.

Methods

We conducted an interrupted time series study in three EDs in Ontario, Canada. We enrolled consecutive adult patients accessing the ED with suspected PE from January 1, 2018, to February 28, 2020. Components of the intervention were as follows: clinical leadership endorsement, a new pathway for PE testing, physician education, personalized confidential physician feedback, and collection of patient outcome information. The intervention was implemented in November 2019. We identified six criteria for defining the feasibility outcome: successful implementation of the intervention in at least two of the three sites, capturing data on ≥ 80% of all CTPAs ordered in the EDs, timely access to electronic data, rapid manual data extraction with feedback preparation before the end of the month ≥ 80% of the time, and time required for manual data extraction and feedback preparation ≤ 2 days per week in total.

Results

The intervention was successfully implemented in two out of three sites. A total of 5094 and 899 patients were tested for PE in the period before and after the intervention, respectively. We captured data from 90% of CTPAs ordered in the EDs, and we accessed the required electronic data. The manual data extraction and individual emergency physician audit and feedback were consistently finalized before the end of each month. The time required for manual data extraction and feedback preparation was ≤ 2 days per week (14 h).

Conclusions

We proved the feasibility of implementing an evidence-based PE diagnosis protocol in two EDs. We were not successful implementing the protocol in the third ED.

Authors: Wan Dongyi , Yang Xin , Li Ganxun , Du Yaying , Cao Jing , Gao Yuan , Shu Zhiping , Zhou Yu , Wei Xiao , Guo Rong , Zhang Runhua , Zhang Guopeng
Published: January 2021

Context

Although the incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is significantly higher in females than in males, the prognosis of male PTC is more unfavorable. However, the cause of higher malignancy of PTC in male patients remains unclear.

Objective

We conducted our analysis on microarrays datasets, tissue samples from PTC patients and the RNAseq datasets from TCGA with survival data.

Methods

We searched all publicly available microarray datasets and performed a genome-wide meta-analysis comparing PTC and normal samples. Gene Ontology analysis was then conducted. The candidate genes were tested by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The analysis of prognostic value of genes was performed with datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas.

Results

After meta-analyses, 150 significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were specifically found in male subjects. Gene Ontology analysis of these 150 genes revealed that the viral process was activated. Seven genes involved in the viral process in male patients showed a significantly differential expression between PTC and normal tissue. Survival analysis exhibited that the 7 genes, used in combination, were prognostically valuable and, of them, PSMB1 possessed a conspicuous prognostic value, especially in males.

Conclusion

In this study, we searched all publicly available microarray datasets and conducted a comprehensive analysis to understand the male propensity for higher malignancy. We found that markers of viral infection showed significantly differential expression only in male patients compared with their female counterparts and had a sex-sensitive prognostic value in PTC.
Active Passive
Authors: Barber Daniel A.
Published: January 2021

This essay proposes an inversion and productive complication of the familiar nomenclature of active and passive solar energy, as it pertains to architectural design methods and to solarity more generally: that is, to changes in economies, cultures, and ways of living in the present and future. I examine three houses central to the history of solar energy and its possible futures: the George O. Löf House (Denver, CO, 1957); the Douglass Kelbaough House (Princeton, NJ, 1974), and the Saskatchewan Conservation House (Regina, Saskatchewan, 1977) in order to assess the cultural and technical changes they elicited.

At stake in reconsidering the distinction between active and passive solar energy is an attempt to understand how we experience simultaneously the resource conditions of our thermal interiors and the transformations of global climatic patterns. Which is to say, reconsidering active and passive in solar architecture (with heat storage as the hinge) also reconsiders the role of buildings in the production of the carbon zero future—less, at least relatively, as spaces of technological innovation, and more as spaces of social and species evolution. An active passive solar architecture aspires to lifestyles, habits, and expectations coming into line with the massive geophysical transformation of climate instability. By emphasizing the contingency of the built environment and of means of inhabitation, the solar house becomes a medium for epochal social change.
Divine Monarchy, Spirited Sovereignties, and the Timely Malagasy MSM Medium-Activist Subject
Authors: Palmer Seth
Published: January 2021

Amid ongoing political instability, sarimbavy — same-sex-desiring and/or gender-expansive male-bodied persons — are increasingly rendered opportune subjects ripe for intervention across Madagascar by HIV prevention industries, homonationalist LGBT rights projects backed by the United States Embassy, and many Christian institutions. This article diverges from these biomedical and moral panics by attending to the shifting temporal allegiances of sarimbavy spirit medium-activists. Interlocutors’ roles as mediums to spirits of former reigning monarchs (tromba) necessitated an onerous dedication to Malagasy history (tantara) and tradition (fombandrazana); simultaneously, many sarimbavy mediums were also men who have sex with men (MSM) activists, and thus deeply committed to moving beyond what they saw as the stigma-ridden past and present. These activist engagements and the sarimbavy counterpublics that they produced were uncannily facilitated by mediumship social networks. Through these practices of monarchic veneration, sarimbavy medium-activists implicitly challenged Western expectations that queer social movements must emerge through the subversion of social norms and secular, liberal, democratic reform. In surrendering to the seemingly antidemocratic weight of divine queen-kingship, sarimbavy mediums became “possessed” by political organizations irreducible to the modern nation-state and its colonial genealogies and, furthermore, produced human-spirit relationalities that thwarted Western juridicolegal visions of a bounded, rights-bearing subject.
The Queer Narrator
Authors: Saria Vaibhav
Published: January 2021

Hijras, India’s “third gender” now often translated as trans figures, have long been defined by their castrated status in colonial and postcolonial discourse, which has aimed at conflating their social and moral positions with their corporeal modification. This article juxtaposes various sets of narrative accounts to explain the theological underpinnings of liberal explanations for accommodating queer sexuality in India. First, the article looks at contemporary Bollywood films in which hijras are often inserted into the plot to bring the villains to justice, sometimes by castrating them. This seeming contradiction, in which queer personhood is made life-affirming, reveals the complex ways in which hijras have been redefined as legitimizing forms of historical queerness in South Asia. Their role, it is argued, is better understood not through an ontological notion of generosity but through the particular dramaturgical position of the sutradhar that the Hindu-Muslim theology of South Asia makes available. The sutradhar is the one who holds (dhar) the strings (sutra) of the dramatic plot. The voicing and enacting of the moral position with which queer ethics have been associated, both in film and in life, are drawn from this character. Given that the long documented history of hijras has made them quite intelligible to South Asian people without the need for translation, this article argues that debates of queer sexuality must go beyond the civilizational terms of “West and the rest” and explore the theological material available for the crafting of queer personhood and ethics.
Seizure Disorders and Exercise/Sports Participation
Authors: Carter James Milton , McGrew Christopher
Published: January 2021

Persons with epilepsy have traditionally been restricted from physical exercise and sports participation because of misinformation and fear. The physical and psychosocial benefits of exercise on general health are well known and have been denied to persons with epilepsy because of these restrictions. Exercise has been shown to decrease seizure frequency and has even been assessed as a means to prevent epilepsy. The risk of injury is a commonly cited reason for restricting physical activity although the majority of these injuries are soft tissue injuries. Literature has shown that the benefits of sports participation for persons with epilepsy far outweigh the risk to the participant. While there are recommended contraindications to a small number of sports, persons with epilepsy can safely participate in the majority of sports with correct counseling and observation.

Pumilio paralogs, PUM1 and PUM2, are sequence-specific RNA-binding proteins that are essential for vertebrate development and neurological functions. PUM1&2 negatively regulate gene expression by accelerating degradation of specific mRNAs. Here, we determined the repression mechanism and impact of human PUM1&2 on the transcriptome. We identified subunits of the CCR4-NOT (CNOT) deadenylase complex required for stable interaction with PUM1&2 and to elicit CNOT-dependent repression. Isoform-level RNA sequencing revealed broad coregulation of target mRNAs through the PUM-CNOT repression mechanism. Functional dissection of the domains of PUM1&2 identified a conserved amino-terminal region that confers the predominant repressive activity via direct interaction with CNOT. In addition, we show that the mRNA decapping enzyme, DCP2, has an important role in repression by PUM1&2 amino-terminal regions. Our results support a molecular model of repression by human PUM1&2 via direct recruitment of CNOT deadenylation machinery in a decapping-dependent mRNA decay pathway.
Low evidence for implementation of well-documented implants regarding risk of early revision: a systematic review on total hip arthroplasty
Authors: Butler Patrick , Gorgis Josef , Viberg Bjarke , Overgaard Søren
Published: January 2021

When introducing an implant, surgeons are subjected to steep learning curves, which may lead to a heightened revision rate. Stepwise introduction revolutionized implant introduction but lacks a last step. No guidelines exist for the introduction of a well-documented implant not previously used in a department. This is problematic according to the European Union’s legislated tendering process, potentially leading to increased revisions. In this systematic review, the introduction of a well-documented total hip arthroplasty implant to experienced surgeons is explored amid concerns of higher revision rate. Literature search strategies were deployed in the Embase and Medline databases, revealing a total of 14,612 articles. Using the Covidence software (Cochrane, London), two reviewers screened articles for inclusion. No articles were found that fulfilled our eligibility criteria. A post hoc analysis retrieved two national register-based studies only missing information about the surgeon’s knowledge of the introduced implant. None of the introduced implants decreased the revision rate and around 30% of the introduced implants were associated with a higher revision rate. The review showed that no data exist about revision rates when introducing well-documented implants. In continuation thereof, the introduction of well-documented implants might also be associated with increased revision rates, as has been shown for total knee arthroplasty. We therefore suggest that special attention should be focused on changes of implants in departments, which can be achieved by way of specific registration in national registers.

Polarimetric LiDAR backscattering contrast of linearly and circularly polarized pulses for ideal depolarizing targets in generic water fogs
Authors: Tremblay Grégoire , Roy Gilles
Published: January 2021

In this paper, we investigate the backscattering depolarization of linearly and circularly polarized laser sources propagating in dense water fogs. We limit our investigation to a simple case where an active LiDAR system is pointed toward a white depolarizing Lambertian solid target. The receiver captures the reflected signal in the orthogonal channel so as to remove most of the backscattering from the water fog. It is shown that in the studied cases, a circularly polarized signal is depolarized faster than a linearly polarized signal and thus produces less contrast. We show that in the cases that can be described by the small angle approximation, the Rubenson degree of polarization (DoP) of a circularly polarized beam can be predicted by the DoP of a linearly polarized beam as

, even for low-order multiple scattering events. In these conditions, since the linear DoP is always stronger, the contrast is expected to be better in linear polarization for ideal depolarizing targets.

The traditional approach to biomarker discovery for any pathology has been through hypothesis-based research one candidate at a time. The objective of this study was to develop an agnostic approach for the simultaneous screening of plasma for consistent molecular differences between a group of individuals exhibiting a pathology and a group of healthy individuals. To achieve this, we focused on developing a predictive tool based on plasma for the amount of brain amyloid-β deposition as observed in PET scans. The accumulation of brain amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques is a key risk factor for the development of Alzheimer’s disease. A contrast was established between cognitively normal individuals above the age of 70 that differed for the amount of brain amyloid-β observed in PET scans (INSIGHT study group). Positive selection was performed against a pool of plasma from individuals with high brain amyloid and negative selection against a pool of plasma from individuals with low brain amyloid This enriched, selected library was then applied to plasma samples from 11 individuals with high levels of brain amyloid and 11 individuals with low levels of brain Aβ accumulation. Each of these individually selected libraries was then characterized by next generation sequencing, and the relative frequency of 10,000 aptamer sequences that were observed in each selection was screened for ability to explain variation in brain amyloid using sparse partial least squares discriminant analysis. From this analysis a subset of 44 aptamers was defined, and the individual aptamers were synthesized. This subset was applied to plasma samples from 70 cognitively normal individuals all above the age of 70 that differed for brain amyloid deposition. 54 individuals were used as a training set, and 15 as a test set. Three of the 15 individuals in the test set were mis-classified resulting in an overall accuracy of 80% with 86% sensitivity and 75% specificity. The aptamers included in the subset serve directly as biomarkers, thus we have named them Aptamarkers. There are two potential applications of these results: extending the predictive capacity of these aptamers across a broader range of individuals, and/or using the individual aptamers to identify targets through covariance analysis and reverse omics approaches. We are currently expanding applications of the Aptamarker platform to other diseases and target matrices.
Nerve injury and repair in a ketogenic milieu: A systematic review of traumatic injuries to the spinal cord and peripheral nervous tissue
Authors: Sayadi Jamasb Joshua , Sayadi Lohrasb , Satteson Ellen , Chopan Mustafa
Published: January 2021

Dietary interventions such as intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet have demonstrated neuroprotective effects in various models of neurological insult. However, there has been a lack of evaluation of these interventions from a surgical perspective despite their potential to augment reparative processes that occur following nerve injury. Thus, we sought to analyze the effects of these dietary regimens on nerve regeneration and repair by critical appraisal of the literature. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic review was performed to identify studies published between 1950 and 2020 that examined the impact of either the ketogenic diet or intermittent fasting on traumatic injuries to the spinal cord or peripheral nerves. Study characteristics and outcomes were analyzed for each included article. A total of 1,890 articles were reviewed, of which 11 studies met inclusion criteria. Each of these articles was then assessed based on a variety of qualitative parameters, including type of injury, diet composition, timing, duration, and outcome. In total, seven articles examined the ketogenic diet, while four examined intermittent fasting. Only three studies examined peripheral nerves. Neuroprotective effects manifested as either improved histological or functional benefits in most of the included studies. Overall, we conclude that intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet may promote neuroprotection and facilitate the regeneration and repair of nerve fibers following injury; however, lack of consistency between the studies in terms of animal models, diet compositions, and timing of dietary interventions preclude synthesis of their outcomes as a whole.

Paul Baran's Economic Surplus Concept, the Baran Ratio, and the Decline of Feudalism
Authors: Lambert Thomas E.
Published: January 2021

Recently published and estimated historical data illustrate that economic surplus declined during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries in England, helping explain the "crisis of feudalism" that started in the thirteenth century. It was not until several centuries later, when capitalism became the dominant economic system, that the economic surplus began to rise on a consistent basis, due to the reinvestment of a portion of the surplus into productive activities, a greater ratio of capital income to rental income, and a greater ratio of investment to economic surplus.

Use and evaluation of the quality of open educational resources in the context of universities: the situation at Charles University
Authors: Petiška Eduard , Korhoňová Lucie , Pospíšilová Marie , Dlouhý Jiří
Published: January 2021

The article analyzes the current state and possibilities offered by the use of the open educational resources (OER) within the educational process on the university level, focusing on the situation at Charles University. First, the issue of OER is discussed in the context of higher education and OER quality assessment. Subsequently, the results of thematic research carried out within Charles University focused on mapping these sources and analysis of selected aspects of their quality are presented. The results show that the main open educational resources used in Charles University are wiki systems. The best functioning wiki system, which also has a sophisticated quality assurance system, is “WikiSkripta”. The authors also suggest that the existing criteria for the quality of educational resources need to be modified in an open environment and the new ones, those that reflect specific properties of these resources, especially their fluid, time-varying nature, should be added.
Treating Masculinity: A Commentary on The Hybrid Case Study of "Tommy"
Authors: Wolfe Ginelle , Levant Ronald F.
Published: January 2021

Dr. Christopher Dewey (2020) wrote up the hybrid case study of "Tommy," a college student who presents with symptoms of masculine depression and alcohol use problems. The importance of this case study is heightened by the current national conversation about masculinity. Context is provided for the topic of men and depression. Consideration is given to the ways Dewey addresses and works as a clinician with traditional masculinity norms that Tommy endorses. Emphasis is given to the way men are socialized at a young age to conform to traditional masculinity norms, and how to work therapeutically with such men. Strengths and critiques of the case are discussed, organized into the following themes: masculine depression, normative male alexithymia, traditional masculinity ideology, discrepancy strain, questioning masculinity, positive masculinity, making masculinity less salient, dealing with problematic alcohol use, family history, trauma, relationships with women, social media consumption, performance as a college student, treatment goals and the course of treatment, and intersectionality.
OFFERING SHIFTS TO CASUAL LANGUAGE (‘BAN-MAL’) IN THE KOREAN TV SHOW WE GOT MARRIED
Authors: BAŠTANOVÁ KWAK Youngran
Published: January 2021

: This research focuses on the topic of Korean speech style shifts from polite to casual between men and women in romantic relationships. This study used data from the Korean reality TV show We Got Married, which was broadcast in Korea for 9 years. After reviewing the system of Korean speech styles and manners of shifts, the study explores who is the first one to offer a shift, what they say, and how an offer is given. According to the analysis, older people were more likely to offer shifts first in the case of romantic relationships. In the TV show, older women tended to offer first a little more through indirect means, while older men offered rather directly. As for expressions used in the offers, the phrase ‘drop the honorifics’ and ‘talk comfortably’ were the most frequently used. They might offer in either polite or casual language, with sudden shifts. However, it was more common for speakers to offer shifts while talking in polite language. During conversations, two types of offers were observed: symmetrical shifts and asymmetrical shifts. In the first type, one speaker suggests shifts from both sides. The second type has more variations: one speaker requests the other’s permission to use casual language, allows the other to use casual language, or shows the speaker’s decision to use casual language. In the samples, symmetrical shifts occurred more often.

Published: January 2021

A doação de sangue é um ato voluntário e altruísta, essencial para a manutenção dos bancos de sangue. Não há nenhum medicamento que substitua o sangue para fins terapêuticos. Conforme apresenta a literatura da área, o Brasil está abaixo do índice ideal do número de doadores recomendado pela Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS). E essa situação se agravou em virtude da pandemia da Covid-19, gerando uma redução do número de doadores e dificuldade de manutenção dos estoques de sangue. Neste cenário, o programa de extensão intitulado “Programa Sangue Bom: Um olhar científico e humano para o ato de doar sangue” de uma universidade mineira, em parceria com a Fundação Hemominas da cidade, investiu na disseminação de informação científica sobre a temática. Assim, este relato tem como objetivo descrever e refletir sobre as atividades extensionistas desenvolvidas no referido programa, as quais foram direcionadas para estimular a prática da doação de sangue durante a pandemia da Covid-19.  Diferentes estratégias foram utilizadas, dentre elas, a página do programa no Instagram, uma live e uma roda de conversa em um evento científico. As estratégias desenvolvidas contribuíram, principalmente, para a divulgação de informações sobre o processo de doação de sangue e os impedimentos definitivos ou temporários para doação. Além disso, mitos, medos e preconceitos sobre esse processo foram discutidos, trazendo à tona a valorização da doação e do gesto altruísta.

O presente trabalho apresenta o processo de desenvolvimento de um projeto voltado à estruturação de um sistema de equipamentos públicos destinados à complementação das estratégias de enfrentamento e contenção da pandemia de Covid-19 na cidade de Pelotas a partir da disponibilização de ambientes adequados à prática do isolamento social voluntário. A proposta tomou como pressuposto a constatação de que a qualidade do espaço habitado, em suas múltiplas escalas, deveria ser considerada como uma questão de saúde pública e, portanto, não poderia ser deixada de lado na definição de estratégias e ações voltadas à redução do ritmo do contágio no contexto local, especialmente nas periferias. Nesse sentido, a partir da análise de dados e mapas disponibilizados pela Prefeitura de Pelotas, da identificação de zonas críticas que combinam precariedade habitacional e índices elevados de casos de Covid-19 e do reconhecimento de experiências bem-sucedidas no cenário nacional, foi desenvolvido o projeto para um sistema de equipamentos públicos destinados ao isolamento voluntário de pessoas com diagnóstico positivo para Covid-19 que apresentem sintomas leves e assintomáticos. Compreendendo essencialmente a articulação, adaptação e qualificação de equipamentos existentes – escolas e UBS –, o projeto tem como objetivo desenvolver alternativas adequadas para ambientes de suporte ao isolamento social voluntário para aqueles pacientes que considerem que sua casa não apresenta as melhores condições para seu bem-estar e para a segurança de seus familiares.

O isolamento social (IS) ocasionado pela disseminação da COVID-19 contribuiu para a mudança dos estilos de vida das pessoas com síndrome de Down (SD), assim como da população geral, tornando-as mais sedentárias nesse período. Após a realização de um levantamento sobre os impactos causados pelo IS nas pessoas com SD, resolveu-se retornar com as atividades do Grupo Downdança, na forma remota. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste relato é descrever o efeito das atividades remotas de dança nas pessoas com SD, participantes do grupo Downdança do Projeto Carinho ESEF/UFPel, no período de isolamento social ocasionado pela Covid-19. Participam do projeto, neste período, onze pessoas com SD com idades entre 13 e 41 anos. As atividades tem acontecido duas vezes por semana, em um período de 1h10min. Os encontros acontecem na plataforma de Serviço de Conferência Web/UFPel. Esta ação têm possibilitado o ganho de melhorias nos aspectos físicos e sociais das pessoas com SD. Observa-se que os resultados dessas atividades apresentam evidências de que o trabalho realizado está no caminho certo. Outras ações devem ser realizadas a fim de gerar melhores benefícios e atingir um número maior de beneficiados. A participação de acadêmicos no processo tem propiciado um espaço significativo de ensino e aprendizagem na formação dos mesmos.

As universidades federais desempenham um papel fundamental na formação dos indivíduos como futuros profissionais, diante das experiências vividas que abarcam suas atividades ao decorrer do processo de formação, permitindo a integração dos três pilares de ensino, pesquisa e extensão. Observando isso, as Empresas Juniores (EJ’s), associações totalmente geridas por estudantes de graduação com a colaboração de professores, dentro dos espaços das universidades, vêm alcançando papel de destaque no mercado brasileiro reconhecidas como espaço de apoio à formação profissional. O presente artigo tem por objetivo relatar as atividades e formas de adaptação de trabalhos remotos realizados através da Empresa Júnior de Consultoria Agropecuária e Planejamento Estratégico (ECAPE Jr) no ano de 2020 em meio a pandemia de COVID-19, e suas respectivas ações que buscam unir os três pilares da educação universitária a partir das atividades desempenhadas pelos alunos da Faculdade de Agronomia Eliseu Maciel (FAEM), dos cursos de Agronomia e Zootecnia. Estas atividades ocorreram de forma remota, em modelo “home office” e, quando necessário, foram feitas visitas aos produtores respeitando os protocolos de biossegurança. Mesmo com as atividades nesta modalidade, produtores da região sul do Estado (RS) continuaram a serem atendidos.

O Projeto de Extensão “Anatomia Funcional e Estética para Restaurações Diretas” (AFERD) conta com participação dos professores do núcleo de Dentística da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel) e está em atividade desde 2018. A fim de manter os alunos engajados em atividades acadêmicas durante o período de pandemia de coronavírus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) em 2020, deu-se continuidade ao projeto de modo remoto. Dessa forma, o objetivo do presente trabalho foi descrever as atividades síncronas e assíncronas desenvolvidas na área de odontologia restauradora em um projeto de extensão durante a pandemia do SARS-CoV-2. O projeto teve duzentos e dez inscritos para a modalidade remota, com uma presença média de cento e vinte três alunos nas atividades síncronas. Foram realizadas dez atividades semanais síncronas com uma hora de duração, juntamente com atividades assíncronas não obrigatórias no Moodle. Para as atividades assíncronas, um total de cento e dezesseis se inscreveram no Moodle, com média de sessenta e três atividades entregues. O projeto conseguiu implementar com sucesso uma estratégia de ensino remoto de odontologia restauradora com um alto número de inscritos e participação ativa de grande parte dos alunos nas atividades assíncronas não obrigatórias. Além disso, foi bem avaliado pelos seus participantes com a maioria pretendendo continuar nele pelo próximo semestre. Dessa forma, o ensino remoto permitiu a continuidade das atividades de dentística para acadêmicos e profissionais da área dentro de um Projeto de Extensão no período de pandemia.

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo apresentar as experiências educativas construídas pelo projeto de extensão universitária – Cursinho Popular Edson Luís (CPEL), desenvolvido na cidade de São João del-Rei, durante a pandemia do Sars-CoV-2. O CPEL tem como principal proposta político-pedagógica possibilitar o acesso da população em situação de vulnerabilidade econômica, da cidade e da região, ao ensino superior público. Para isso, as práticas pedagógicas são estruturadas a partir da concepção de Educação Popular, que tem como representante primordial o educador e filósofo Paulo Freire. Tal proposta pedagógica propõe organizar os conteúdos curriculares de maneira a dialogar com as vivências cotidianas dos estudantes além de possibilitar uma transformação crítica no modo de conhecer o universo desse e com esse sujeito. O projeto em questão é desenvolvido na Universidade Federal de São João del-Rei (UFSJ), mas contribuiu para a nacionalização das experiências de cursinhos populares do movimento social Levante Popular da Juventude (LPJ), que hoje conta com mais de vinte cursinhos populares espalhados pelo Brasil. O CPEL, em seus sete anos de existência, ajudou no acesso de diversos jovens ao ensino superior público além de influir para uma educação emancipadora, como também auxiliou com a formação inicial e continuada de professores aliados a perspectivas educacionais críticas, nas quais a transformação social e a crítica ao modelo econômico vigente são princípios educativos tão fundamentais quanto os conteúdos científicos.

Este relatório apresenta a experiência de execução do projeto de extensão “Máscaras CuidATIVAS: manto protetor da vida”, criado pela equipe do Ambulatório de Cuidados Paliativos (Unidade CuidATIVA) da Universidade Federal de Pelotas (UFPel), no contexto da pandemia de COVID-19. O projeto articulou alunos de diferentes cursos com a comunidade pelotense, em um ciclo de voluntariado envolvendo várias etapas: doação de materiais, costura de máscaras em duplo-tecido de algodão, confecção de panfletos informativos, embalagem do material, distribuição das máscaras, trabalho educacional conjunto e ampla divulgação midiática. Desde março de 2020, quando foi declarada a pandemia, diversos estudos demonstraram a eficácia do uso de máscaras artesanais de tecido pela população para barrar o vírus causador da SARS-CoV-2. Assim, esse projeto foi desenvolvido com o objetivo de distribuir, gratuitamente, máscaras para a população. Entre março e setembro, o projeto doou mais de sessenta e cinco mil máscaras de tecido nos diversos bairros de Pelotas. A execução do projeto resultou em uma maior conscientização da população sobre a importância do uso de máscaras e dos cuidados fundamentais em saúde, contribuindo para reduzir a taxa de infectados e óbitos na cidade.
KERAMIČKI NALAZI S LOKALITETA GLAVICE – STARA POVLJANA U KONTEKSTU PRAPOVIJESNIH NASELJA NA OTOKU PAGU
Authors: Vuković Morana , Serventi Zrinka
Published: January 2021

Brojni ostatci keramičkih posuda otkriveni su tijekom arheoloških istraživanja provedenih 2012. godine na lokalitetu Glavice blizu Stare Povljane na otoku Pagu. Neki od tih nalaza mogu se pripisati kasnom srednjem vijeku ili ranom novom vijeku (na što ukazuju i nalazi mletačkog novca), a drugi se datiraju u prapovijest, većinom u željezno doba. Nadalje, spomenuti ostatci nađeni su oko ili čak unutar vrlo oštećenih suhozidnih struktura koje, iako ne mogu biti precizno datirane u prapovijesno ili neko kasnije doba, ukazuju na dugotrajno korištenje tog lokaliteta kao naselja. Zahvaljujući kontekstu tih nalaza moguće je da je prapovijesno naselje bilo organizirano na platou ispod obližnjeg brežuljka i blizu plodnog polja, što nije tipično za to područje i ukazuje na moguću promjenu u praksi smještanja naselja. Sukladno tome, u ovom radu analizirat će se ulomci prapovijesnog posuđa, njihova konzistencija, tipologija i dekoracija te će oni biti smješteni u kontekst prapovijesnih nalaza šireg područja. Isto tako, važnost ovog lokaliteta razmotrit će se kroz sveukupni raspored prapovijesnih naselja na otoku Pagu.
POSUDE S TOPONIMIJSKIM A LA BARBOTINE NATPISOM NA ISTOČNOJ OBALI JADRANA – PRIJEDLOG INTERPRETACIJE
Authors: Konestra Ana
Published: January 2021

U radu se tematiziraju dvije posude s toponimijskim natpisom – Felix Arba i Salona – pronađene u Ninu i Janicama, a po svoj prilici podrijetlom s otoka Raba i Salone, uz osvrt na recentno identificiranu posudu, također s ninske nekropole, čije ju značajke svrstavaju u istovjetnu grupu predmeta iako je interpretacija njezina natpisa otežana. Prema morfološkim i tipološkim značajkama posude se smještaju unutar keramičkih vrsta kućanskoga ili transportnoga posuđa, što omogućava pokušaj njihove kronološke i funkcionalne atribucije, potkrepljujući pretpostavke o lokalnome podrijetlu. Na temelju navedenoga posude se interpretiraju kao antički suveniri, no ne samo kao zasebni predmeti već i kao mogući recipijenti za pretpostavljene namirnice ili druge tekućine. Alternativno, na temelju analogija s drugih područja Rimskog Carstva, predlaže se mogućnost njihove upotrebe za transport ili komercijalizaciju specifičnih lokalnih proizvoda namijenjenih određenoj klijenteli, u ovom slučaju pomorcima, no u svakom slučaju riječ je o posudama namijenjenima tržištu malih razmjera.

Neovisno o interpretaciji kojoj se priklonimo, posude s toponimijskim (i ne samo?) natpisima moguće je promatrati unutar različitih konteksta, što omogućava rekonstrukciju ne samo proizvodnoga i tržišnoga ciklusa ovih predmeta već i njihove šire biografije, kao i određenih kulturnih praksi, npr. antička mobilnost, kreiranje memorije i „autoreprezentacija” antičkih lokaliteta, antička

pismenost i dr., a iz čega proizlazi i njihova moguća višestruka funkcija kao i, barem u jednom slučaju, potvrđena reupotreba te pretpostavljeno dugo korištenje.
