Authors:   Institute of Korean Cultural Studies Yeungnam University, Park Jin ok
Published: February 2024

The purpose of this study is ways to establish the community identity of marriage migrant women and to adapt to the community, so that marriage migrant women can live a self-sustaining and self-sufficient life as an active participant in the community, not as an individual othered in the Korean community. For this purpose, a quantitative survey was conducted targeting marriage migrant women from Vietnam in rural areas of Gyeongsangbuk-do.
Summarizing the results of the study, the factors influencing the community adaptation of marriage migrant women were socio-demographic variables such as educational background and community identity among factors such as regional involvement, emotional bond, and regional trust. In particular, emotional bonding was found to have a significant effect. Therefore, in order for marriage migrant women to adapt well to the local community, it is necessary to seek various opportunities and methods to have emotional bonds with the local residents.

Shaw, J, Gould, ZI, Oliver, JL, and Lloyd, RS. Twelve weeks of progressive resistance training positively improves physical fitness and golf swing performance in talented youth golfers. J Strength Cond Res 38(6): 1103–1110, 2024—This aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a 12-week resistance training program in talented junior golfers. Eighteen talented youth golfers were pair matched by maturity status and handicap, and subsequently allocated to an experimental (EXP) or control group. During the 12-week intervention, both groups continued with their normal golf practice while the EXP group also completed a progressive twice-weekly resistance training program. At baseline, subjects performed multiple trials of an isometric midthigh pull (IMTP), countermovement jump (CMJ), standing long jump, golf movement screen (GMS), and isometric plank hold. Club head speed (CHS) and carry distance for a 6-iron and driver were also measured using a commercial launch monitor. When controlled for maturity offset, there were significant (p < 0.05) interaction effects in favor of the EXP group for absolute (g = 1.29) and relative (g = 2.06) peak force for the IMTP, CMJ absolute (g = 0.73) and relative (g = 0.66) peak power, jump height (g = 1.05), modified reactive strength index (g = 1.30), lateral (g = 0.48–0.88) and horizontal jump distance (g = 1.20), and GMS total score (g = 1.07). Significant interaction effects were also reported in 6-iron and driver CHS and carry distance in favor of the EXP group (p < 0.05; g = 0.41–1.64). These findings indicate that twice-weekly resistance training in combination with regular golf practice can stimulate increases in measures of strength, power, and movement competency in youth golfers, which should contribute to enhanced golf swing performance.

Published: February 2024

Measures of intrinsic brain function at rest show promise as predictors of cognitive decline in humans, including EEG metrics such as individual α peak frequency (IAPF) and the aperiodic exponent, reflecting the strongest frequency of α oscillations and the relative balance of excitatory/inhibitory neural activity, respectively. Both IAPF and the aperiodic exponent decrease with age and have been associated with worse executive function and working memory. However, few studies have jointly examined their associations with cognitive function, and none have examined their association with longitudinal cognitive decline rather than cross-sectional impairment. In a preregistered secondary analysis of data from the longitudinal Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) study, we tested whether IAPF and aperiodic exponent measured at rest predict cognitive function (N = 235; age at EEG recordingM = 55.10, SD = 10.71) over 10 years. The IAPF and the aperiodic exponent interacted to predict decline in overall cognitive ability, even after controlling for age, sex, education, and lag between data collection time points. Post hoc tests showed that “mismatched” IAPF and aperiodic exponents (e.g., higher exponent with lower IAPF) predicted greater cognitive decline compared to “matching” IAPF and aperiodic exponents (e.g., higher exponent with higher IAPF; lower IAPF with lower aperiodic exponent). These effects were largely driven by measures of executive function. Our findings provide the first evidence that IAPF and the aperiodic exponent are joint predictors of cognitive decline from midlife into old age and thus may offer a useful clinical tool for predicting cognitive risk in aging.
Supraglottic myxoedema successfully treated orally

Published: February 2024

Myxoedema coma is a severe form of hypothyroidism with multiple organ dysfunction, characterised by an altered state of consciousness and hypothermia. Intravenous thyroid hormone replacement therapy is the preferred treatment for myxoedema. The mortality rate associated with this disease is high, and early detection and intervention are essential. Supraglottal myxoedema is a rare form of periglottic oedema and can be fatal. A previously healthy 66-year-old man presented with impaired consciousness, hypothermia, and nonpitting oedema. Blood tests revealed the presence of hypothyroidism and respiratory acidosis. He was intubated for type 2 respiratory failure; however, severe laryngeal oedema made the procedure difficult to perform. Oral thyroid hormone therapy was initiated under the diagnosis of myxoedema coma. Tracheostomy was performed because of prolonged type 2 respiratory failure and laryngeal oedema. Three weeks after admission, the patient was weaned off the ventilator. Approximately a week later, laryngeal oedema improved, and the tracheostomy tube was removed. The patient was discharged and remained stable for 3 months. This case report describes a patient with comatose myxoedema and supraglottic oedema who was successfully treated with oral medication alone. This case shows that supraglottic oedema should be considered even in the absence of wheezing or other signs of upper airway obstruction.

Learning points

Myxoedema coma is a differential diagnosis of respiratory acidosis.

In myxoedematous coma, the possibility of difficult intubation due to supraglottic oedema should be considered.

Tracheostomy should be considered for supraglottic myxoedema, which often results in prolonged ventilator use.

Supraglottic myxoedema can be treated with oral medications.
Prolonged remission followed by low insulin requirements in a patient with type 1 diabetes on a very low-carbohydrate diet
Authors: Ozoran Hakan , Guwa Phoenix , Dyson Pam , Tan Garry D , Karpe Fredrik
Published: February 2024

The use of a low-carbohydrate diet (LCD) reduces insulin requirements in insulinopenic states such as type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). However, the use of potentially ketogenic diets in this clinical setting is contentious and the mechanisms underlying their impact on glycaemic control are poorly understood. We report a case of a patient with a late-onset classic presentation of T1DM who adopted a very low-carbohydrate diet and completely avoided insulin therapy for 18 months, followed by tight glycaemic control on minimal insulin doses. The observations suggest that adherence to an LCD in T1DM, implemented soon after diagnosis, can facilitate an improved and less variable glycaemic profile in conjunction with temporary remission in some individuals. Importantly, these changes occurred in a manner that did not lead to a significant increase in blood ketone (beta-hydroxybutyrate) concentrations. This case highlights the need for further research in the form of randomised controlled trials to assess the long-term safety and sustainability of carbohydrate-reduced diets in T1DM.

Learning points

This case highlights the potential of low-carbohydrate diets (LCDs) in type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) to mediate improved diabetes control and possible remission soon after diagnosis.

Could carbohydrate-reduced diets implemented early in the course of T1DM delay the decline in endogenous insulin production?

Adherence to an LCD in T1DM can facilitate an improved and less variable glycaemic profile.

This case suggests that LCDs in T1DM may not be associated with a concerning supraphysiological ketonaemia.

In this study, we present a probabilistic approach for analysing runnability of a moving paper web with random defects. The paper web is modelled in the case of an open draw as an axially moving elastic plate that has an initial crack of random length. We derive a formula for the optimal velocity, at which the probability of fracture is limited. We study edge and central cracks perpendicular to machine direction (mode I cracks) and oblique central cracks (mixed mode). The crack length is modelled with the Weibull distribution. The effect of changing the value of distribution parameters and the probability of fracture on the optimal velocity is illustrated. It is found that the optimal velocity decreases when the expected value and variance of the crack length increase. The results also show the relation between the effect of edge and central cracks on the optimal velocity. The study is fundamental for rigorous analysis of the paper making process.
Adaptation of Pressing Concepts to Refining

Published: February 2024

The refining impulse is here defined as the product of the normal loading force by the time. The refining impulse can be used in a beater for understanding and controlling the refining effects on fibres. The SR-degree and WRV evolutions depend only on the proposed refining impulse. For the shortening evolution of fibres, the normal loading force has to be introduced as a supplementary variable. By analogy with the variables controlling the pressing operation, namely press impulse and maximal applied pressure, the refining impulse alone, or complemented with the normal applied force have been experimentally shown to control the kinetics effects of refining on the fibrous suspension.

Information geometry provides a metric on spaces of probability density functions. Here we apply it to the space of trivariate Gaussian distributions of joint variation among the areal density variables for pixels and their first and second neighbours, from radiographs and simulations. At a pixel scale of one millimetre these distributions can pick up essential structural features including flocculation intensity and scale. We do this by applying the technique of dimensionality reduction to large mixed data sets of samples and the results show promise for classification, including extraction of groupings that represent different former types. This kind of analysis could be valuable in evaluating trials, comparing different installations of similar formers and for identifying anomalous behaviour.

Published: February 2024

Multilayer fluid models play a crucial role in comprehending fluid–fluid and fluid–nanoparticle interactions within the petroleum industry, geophysics, and plasma physics due to their diverse industrial applications. The current research aims to investigate the impact of a heat source/sink on a non-Newtonian hybrid nanofluid that saturates a porous medium positioned between a transparent viscous fluid filling a vertical channel. The model governing nonlinear coupled differential equations are nondimensionalized using appropriate fundamental quantities. Subsequently, the regular perturbation method is employed to solve the transformed dimensionless governing equations. Upon comparing the data, it is evident that current results closely align with the previously published findings. The parameter Q2 causes an increase in both θs(ζ) and θt(ζ) across all three regions. Increasing Casson parameter leads to a decrease in θt(ζ).
MMPI-2 ir MMPI-2-RF validumo skalių galimybių aptikti psichopatologijos simuliaciją ir disimuliaciją tyrimas

Published: February 2024

This article examined the responsiveness of the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF validity scales to simulation and dissimulation of psychopathology. Two experiments were performed. The simulation study included 66 participants (33 in the control group and 33 in the experimental group, age M = 36.76, SD = 15.24) and the dissimulation study included 60 patients diagnosed with a mental disorder (30 in the control group and 30 in the experimental group, M = 40.32, SD = 15.79). In both experiments, all participants completed the MMPI-2 questionnaire. Participants in the control group were given standard instructions, while participants in the experimental groups received instructions to either simulate symptoms of mental disorders or present themselves as completely healthy. Differences in the expected direction of the MMPI-2 psychopathology scales between the experimental and control groups indicated that the study instruction had an effect on the responses of the study participants. The results of the comparison of the validity scales showed that the majority of the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF scales respond to an attempt to provide false information about oneself. Estimates of validity scales were statistically significantly different between control and experimental groups in both simulation and dissimulation studies, and the difference effect was mostly large. The obtained results show that the MMPI-2 and MMPI-2-RF are able to successfully recognize the simulation and dissimulation of psychopathology, which can be of practical value to specialists who seek to differentiate subjects who answer honestly from those who are feigning during psychological assessment.
Hypnotherapy as an intervention in infertility treatment
Authors: Puri Amita
Published: February 2024

Research and scientific evidence have illuminated the emotional and psychological aspects of fertility. Women grappling with fertility problems endure a range of intense emotions, including shock, frustration, anger, despair, and blame. These feelings are not easily resolved and can persist over time. Many women are unaware of their fertility issues until they actively try to conceive. Hypnotherapy is sometimes used as a complementary therapy in infertility treatment. People find it helpful for reducing stress and anxiety related to infertility, which can indirectly benefit their overall well-being and possibly enhance their chances of conception. Hypnotherapy is typically used to help individuals manage the emotional aspects of infertility, reduce stress, and potentially improve their mental and emotional state, which may positively impact fertility. Research suggests that hypnosis can improve ovulation, increase sperm quality, and enhance embryo implantation, by reducing stress and promoting relaxation. However, it should not be used as a sole or primary treatment for infertility, and it's essential to work with a healthcare provider who specializes in fertility issues to develop a comprehensive treatment plan. The present chapter elucidates on the effectiveness of hypnotherapy in infertility counseling with evidence based work done over the years globally as it delves into the history of hypnosis, the brain states associated with it, and its scientific evolution. It emphasizes the role of hypnosis in influencing the mind-body connection, reducing stress, and promoting a positive outlook during fertility treatment.

Gallbladder volvulus has a higher incidence between the sixth and eighth decades of life, exceptional condition for its infrequence. Since it tends to be confused with other pathologies, its diagnosis is usually intraoperative and can cause serious complications, such as gangrene, biliary sepsis and even death. We present the case of a 97-year-old patient who went to the emergency department with abdominal pain in the epigastric region, oppressive, irradiated to the right hypochondrium. Due to laboratory and imaging findings, a laparoscopic cholecystectomy was decided. During the surgery, a gallbladder volvulus was observed. The patient presented a satisfactory postoperative evolution, being discharged after 48 hours. This article presents a clinical case of vesicular volvulus and its proper laparoscopic management.
Movilidad social en la educación: el caso de la universidad de los andes en Colombia entre 1949 y 2018
Authors: Jaramillo Echeverri Juliana
Published: February 2024

La literatura académica ha destacado el papel de la educación en la promoción de la movilidad social. Pero ¿cuánta movilidad han permitido históricamente las universidades de alta calidad? Esta investigación se centra en un estudio de caso de movilidad social histórica en una institución educativa de alta calidad en Colombia en el que se calculan coeficientes de movilidad intergeneracional para apellidos étnicos y de élite utilizando estimaciones basadas en apellidos poco frecuentes y su representación relativa en las personas graduadas de la Universidad de los Andes desde 1949 hasta 2018. Estas estimaciones proporcionan nueva evidencia de patrones de movilidad y revelan baja movilidad y persistencia en la élite histórica, así como la ausencia de los grupos étnicos. Se concluye además que este enfoque metodológico puede ser una herramienta útil para estudiar los casos de países con limitaciones de datos históricos para medir la movilidad social.

This research focuses on how women contribute to strengthening the economy to realize family economic resilience. This kind of phenomenon is also experienced by families in rural areas in Bantul, Yogyakarta. The researcher took a social setting in Babadan Hamlet, Sitimulyo, Piyungan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. This research uses a participatory method with the type PAR (Participatory Action Research). Participatory Research Method is carried out jointly and based on emancipatory-participatory logic. In this research, the community is the research subject involving 15 sources from MSME business actors in interviews and FGDs. The research results show that women in Babadan Hamlet, Sitimulyo of Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia, have an important role in strengthening the family economy. Strengthening the family economy is carried out through various activities ranging from opening a shop business or opening services. However, only 20% of business actors utilize digital media such as WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram. Meanwhile, the marketplace has not been fully utilized. Apart from that, MSME business actors in Babadan Hamlet, Sitimulyo, Bantul Regency are also not optimal in carrying out product branding. This paper contributes to empirical studies on the importance of women's role in strengthening the family economy.
Resolution to Ethnic Conflict: Anti-Chinese Riots in Garut, Indonesia, in the middle of the Twentieth Century
Authors: Hidayat Asep Achmad
Published: February 2024

The Anti-Chinese riots in Indonesia are a dark side of history that must be uncovered. The riots caused by ethnicity and racism worldwide, such as the recent Anti-Chinese issue in the United States, also occurred even in Indonesia after World War II. The racial riots in Garut destroyed Chinese-owned houses, factories, and shops on two consecutive days. The research uses historical methods, namely heuristics, criticism, interpretation, and historiography, that reveal the memories of victims, perpetrators, witnesses, and rare primary personal archives. Through a social history approach, the research indicates that not only ethnicity causes violence but also social, political, and religious sentiments initiated by youth organizations, local religious leaders, and former followers of the revolutionary movement. This study provides benefits so that the public and stakeholders can manage ethnic, religious, racial, and inter-group issues to avoid ethnic conflicts that end in violence.

Book review of The Social Economy Act. A Commentary edited by M. Małecka-Łyszczek and R. Mędrzycki
Authors: Lipowicz Irena
Published: February 2024

The aim of this review is to examine and reflect on the recently published Commentary to the Social Economy Act, edited by Magdalena Małecka-Łyszczek and Radosław Mędrzycki (2023). Not only is social economy an enormously important and still underappreciated topic, as stated below, but it is also too often addressed in isolation in its numerous institutions. The Commentary’s strength is its comprehensive examination of the fundamental components and principles of social economy. Its content goes beyond the scope of a standard commentary in that it helps the reader interpret the relevant theoretical concepts as well as general clauses and undefined terms; moreover, the authors demonstrate axiological consistency in their approach to the issues discussed. It is a text of high scholarly quality, written in clear and accessible language while maintaining a firm grasp of the subject matter. The book will be a valuable resource for theorists and practitioners alike, especially the interpretations of social economy processes, which the reviewer believes are overly complicated and, like the entire Act, do not represent a particularly high legislative standard. The publication is also of great practical significance as it reflects the changing perspective on anthropological pessimism that has afflicted regulations in this field for too long. The authors provide the necessary knowledge in a synthetic manner, but never at the expense of an in-depth theoretical background or an insightful analysis of practical experience. The cross-sectional coverage of the literature on the subject is particularly noteworthy, as the authors provide a representative overview of the doctrine, especially in the context of the European Union Member States.

A síndrome pós-COVID-19 é um termo usado para descrever um conjunto diversificado de sintomas que persistem por mais de 12 semanas da infecção diagnosticada. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar a síndrome pós-COVID-19 entre hospitalizados por COVID-19 após 6 e 12 meses da alta hospitalar. Trata-se de estudo de coorte ambidirecional, realizado com indivíduos que receberam alta em três dos principais hospitais da capital de Mato Grosso, Brasil, entre outubro e dezembro de 2021 e janeiro e março de 2022. Após coleta de dados em prontuários, os indivíduos foram entrevistados por telefone após 6 e 12 meses da alta hospitalar, sendo questionados sobre a presença de sintomas persistentes ou novos, para a avaliação de sua frequência segundo características sociodemográficas, econômicas, relativas à internação e condições de saúde. Dos 277 prontuários avaliados, 259 pacientes foram elegíveis para o estudo, 190 aos seis meses e 160 após 12 meses da alta hospitalar. Aos seis meses, 59% eram mulheres, 40% com 60 anos ou mais de idade e 87,4% referiram a presença de pelo menos um sintoma. Aos 12 meses, 58,7% eram mulheres, 37,5% com 30 a 49 anos e 67,5% referiram a presença de pelo menos um sintoma. A fadiga foi o sintoma mais comum após 6 e 12 meses de alta hospitalar (55,3% e 40,6%, respectivamente), seguido de problemas de memória (36,8%; 20%) e perda de cabelo (26,8%; 11,2%). Foi maior a prevalência de síndrome pós-COVID-19 entre indivíduos de maior faixa etária, menor renda, hipertensos, diabéticos e com maior gravidade durante a internação. Os fatores de risco da síndrome pós-COVID-19 contribuem para a compreensão dos efeitos a longo prazo e da importância do acompanhamento após a fase aguda da doença.

Resumo Este estudo busca analisar os efeitos do Programa Nacional de Transporte Escolar (Pnate) sobre a quantidade de estabelecimentos de educação infantil no Brasil, bem como os efeitos heterogêneos para a região Nordeste. Para alcançar o objetivo proposto, foram utilizados dados de diversas fontes e como estratégia empírica o modelo de diferenças em diferenças escalonado proposto por Callaway e Sant’Anna (2021), que considera: múltiplos períodos; variação no tempo de tratamento e validade da suposição de tendências paralelas. Os resultados indicam que os municípios brasileiros que receberam o programa apresentaram uma redução na quantidade de estabelecimentos de educação infantil. Esse resultado é ainda maior para os municípios nordestinos, onde foi constatado o dobro do efeito observado para o Brasil.
Water discourses management: Water supply crisis communication in the RMSP (2014-2015)
Authors: Leite Douglas de Albuquerque , Monteiro Marko Synésio Alves
Published: February 2024

Abstract The current article is an investigation on how the water supply crisis taking place in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo (RMSP) was addressed during the 2014-2015 biennium. Aspects of information monopoly and scientific expertise mobilization by São Paulo State’s Sanitation Company and by São Paulo State’s Government were herein addressed, as well as the instrumentation of these aspects through mass communication focused on this event. In total, 63 documents published by these actors were herein analyzed based on the Social Studies of Science and Technology and on the Framing theory. Results pointed towards a discursive plan aimed at shaping the interpretation of the water supply crisis by relativizing public agents’ condition and by reinvigorating a specific water supply network-expansion model. The contribution of this investigation lies on the identification of public discourse as an instrument of action over urban sanitation infrastructures.
Impact of REDD+ certification on the deforestation rates of RESEX Rio Preto-Jacundá in the Amazon
Authors: Silveira Giulia De Paula , Hardt Elisa
Published: February 2024

Abstract In Brazil, the Amazon’s role in regulating the Earth’s climate, resulting from the conversion of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere into biomass, it is threatened by high rates of deforestation. The impact of a REDD+ Project for forest conservation in the Rio Preto- Jacundá RESEX in Rondônia - RO was evaluated from the comparative analysis between deforestation that occurred before (2004-2012) and after the Project (2012-2020), on a local and regional scale (RO) based on data provided by the Amazon Deforestation Calculation Program (PRODES). The results showed that, from 2015 onwards there is a greater deforestation trend in the RESEX than in the state of RO and that, between 2016 and 2019, all deforestation occurred inside the Project limits. It was concluded that this REDD+ Project without proper regulation and government support has not been able to help to stop deforestation and, consequently, combat the urgent climate crisis that we face.
Conviviality and sustainability: Case studies on the governance of natural resources in Brazil

Published: February 2024

Abstract The multiscale nature of the environmental crisis brings together scientific and political mechanisms that converge on a common discursive axis: sustainability. This text contrasts vernacular and modern meanings of the commons and suggests conviviality as a counterpoint to the dilemmas posed by nature’s hypercommodification. Based on fieldwork, it describes governance parameters in the meliponiculture chain and the fishery management of pirarucu (Arapaima spp.) in the Amazon and the palm heart harvesting (Euterpe edulis) in the Atlantic Forest areas. It explores particularities in these resources’ governance as it aims to highlight possibilities and limitations to conviviality provided by these activities. For the cases studied, the convivial perspective is limited to cooperativism directed by the market. Still, a communal sense taken back as a principle for political action can offer broader horizons for the sustainability of governance.

Published: February 2024

Resumo O livro do Dr. Malcom Ferdinand “Uma ecologia decolonial: pensar a partir do mundo caribenho” surge em momento oportuno e preenche uma lacuna histórica na literatura sobre o colonialismo e ecologia. Provocantes e ousadas, as seções abordam com maestria os temas das relações étnico-raciais, de gênero e de vulnerabilidades. O livro é um convite vital para entender as inter-relações de gênero, raça e classe na busca por justiça e como essas inter-relações se manifestam. O compêndio de informações fornecidas fortalece a coalizão multidimensional de interesses para entender melhor a injustiça ambiental e a desigualdade social generalizada, associadas a uma ecologia colonial.
CONTENIENDO AFECTOS: ANÁLISIS DISCURSIVO DE ORIENTACIONES EDUCATIVAS EN CHILE
Authors: Díaz Diego Palacios , Tapia Iciar Dufraix , Campos Vicente Sisto , Valle Lorena Ramírez Casas del
Published: February 2024

Resumen La incorporación de los afectos en las agendas educativas contemporáneas se ha dinamizado creativamente con la pandemia covid-19. Por ello, este artículo analiza discursivamente documentos oficiales chilenos sobre contención socioemocional en contextos de crisis. Para examinar cautelosamente la incorporación de los afectos en el debate educativo actual, se conduce un análisis discursivo orientado desde los postulados y herramientas analíticas de la Psicología Discursiva Crítica. Los hallazgos evidencian un canon afectivo-discursivo que, apelando a versiones tradicionales de afectos y borramientos agenciales, contribuiría a consolidar el orden neoliberal. Se discute la pertinencia de la categoría discurso para estudiar la afectividad humana y la necesidad histórica de trascender las crisis.
LARP: UM JARGÃO POLÍTICO? UM ENSAIO SOBRE A EMERGÊNCIA DO USO DO TERMO
Authors: Iuama Tadeu Rodrigues
Published: February 2024

Resumo O presente ensaio parte da inquietação acerca da emergência do termo larp em coberturas midiáticas dos fenômenos políticos, sobretudo em veículos de jornalismo alternativo. O termo - originário do acrônimo para live action role-play - refere-se a uma prática lúdica que ocorre em diversas localidades do mundo há pelo menos 50 anos. Contudo, sua inserção no contexto político não atribuiu um sentido explícito, de maneira que o objetivo deste estudo é levantar sentidos utilizados, com o intuito de sistematizá-los e discuti-los. Como achado, encontra-se um uso pejorativo do termo, de maneira que o ensaio se encerra propondo outros sentidos que são vinculados ao termo larp e que poderiam ser apropriados pela discussão política.

ABSTRACT Many industrially synthesized human - therapeutic agents, agrochemicals, and additives used by industries are heterocyclic compounds. Many of these contribute to increased environmental contamination in localized and diffuse sources of water bodies, reflecting soil quality, communities, and human health. This concern led us to develop this research to evaluate the presence of organic compounds in the surface waters of the Pirapó river basin, Paraná, Brazil, influenced by the soybean and safflower corn crops that are cultivated in adjacent areas around the river. The water samples were collected from October 2017 to January 2019, at three collection points. Organic compounds were analyzed by GC-MS, after the solid phase extraction (SPE). Two organic compounds were analyzed: azetidine and sarcosine that are used in the pharmaceutical industry. Organic compounds existing in drugs and/or contaminants that were observed in this study reveal the importance of further investigation into their origins and the consequences for the health of the biota and the population.

Published: February 2024

RESUMO Objetivo: descrever a percepção dos cuidadores de crianças traqueostomizadas sobre os desafios no processo de alta para o domicílio no contexto amazônico. Método: estudo descritivo, qualitativo, realizado com 16 cuidadores de crianças traqueostomizadas que vivenciaram a desospitalização, em um Hospital Infantil de Rio Branco - Acre - Brasil. Amostragem definida por saturação, dados coletados com roteiro semiestruturado de agosto a dezembro de 2021, submetidos à Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin. Resultados: a análise resultou em quatro categorias: (1) sentimentos vivenciados com o uso do dispositivo traqueal; (2) cuidados rotineiros com a traqueostomia que os cuidadores julgam importantes; (3) dúvidas e relatos sobre a aspiração traqueal; e (4) condutas diante de intercorrências nas crianças em uso de traqueostomia. Considerações finais: o temor em aprender a técnica de aspiração traqueal e da alta hospitalar reforça a necessidade de educação precoce e contínua dos cuidadores, com foco no atendimento de rotina e de emergência para as crianças traqueostomizadas.

ABSTRACT Objective: To develop educational technologies on prenatal care with and for visually impaired women. Method: A methodological study with a participatory interface and qualitative approach. It was carried out at a Specialized Technical Unit in the municipality of Belém, Pará, Brazil. Data production took place between August and September 2021 with six women. DOSVOX was used as a communication resource for the participants to answer four instruments with a view to developing the technologies. The analysis was of the thematic content type. Results: Women with visual impairment want respect for their autonomy, inclusion, and information from the professionals. The technologies produced point to the specific demands of visually impaired women and to the importance of preserving autonomy during prenatal care. Conclusion: Technologies produced in a participatory way point out women’s specific perspectives and needs regarding prenatal care and may support both the nurses’ actions in consultations and favor women with visual impairment during prenatal care.
