The Value of Pancasila in Environmental Sustainability
Authors: Anbarwati Shofi Fahia
Published: April 2023

Since gaining independence in 1945, Indonesia have built up Pancasila as their state belief system and political logic, which envelops the rights and duties of its natives without segregation dependent on religion or ideology, sexual orientation, race or ethnicity, financial status or at all. Gotten from Sankrit, the name "Pancasila" signifies 'the five fundamental standards'. The five standards are: 1) Belief in the Unity of Deities; 2) Just and edified humankind; 3) Unity of Indonesia; 4) Democracy driven by insight through consideration of the chosen delegates; 5) Social equity for all Indonesians. Perpetually, Pancasila has turned into Indonesia's joining power for the 265 million individuals living on 3000 islands or so out of the in excess of 17,000 islands. Out of the 265 million, Indonesians are supplied with more than 500 ethno, psycholinguistic gatherings, each having its very own way of life, language or tongue, convention and custom.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to analyze cyberbullying which includes types, motives, impacts, legal consequences and prevention efforts. This research is a research using a qualitative method, namely a method that focuses on objects through an analytical process and is narrative. There are many bad consequences of the internet, one of which is bullying through the internet or cyberbullying. In general, cyberbullying is a type of crime that is experienced by someone through an electronic device. The crime in question is terror, provocation, evasion, or humiliation carried out through the help of electronic media. Cyberbullying is a threat that results in mental, psychological, and social conditions. Cyberbullying can be prevented as quickly as possible by inviting people to contribute such as parents, teachers, and peers. That is why there is a need for legal protection against perpetrators of the crime of bullying, where the perpetrators also have special rights that should be obtained so that the perpetrators who commit these actions get the legal consequences or sanctions for the actions taken.

Effect of acrylate-styrene-acrylonitrile on the aging properties of eucalyptus/PVC wood-plastic composites
Authors: Qi Ruige , He Chunxia , Jin Qiang
Published: April 2023

With the widespread use of wood-plastic composites, they are inevitably affected by aging during transportation and outdoor use. In this research, in order to improve the aging resistance of WPC, acrylate-styrene-acrylonitrile (ASA) was used as modifier (10 parts, 15 parts, and 20 parts). The effects of the ASA modification on the aging behavior of eucalyptus/polyvinyl chloride (PVC) composites was studied with simulated xenon lamp artificial aging conditions. Artificial aging caused the physical and mechanical properties of the composites to deteriorate. After 960 h of aging, the aging resistance of the ASA-modified WPC was better than unmodified WPC and the sample with 15% ASA added had the best performance.

OBJECTIVES

Throughout the pandemic, children with COVID-19 have experienced hospitalization, ICU admission, invasive respiratory support, and death. Using a multisite, national dataset, we investigate risk factors associated with these outcomes in children with COVID-19.

METHODS

Our data source (Optum deidentified COVID-19 Electronic Health Record Dataset) included children aged 0 to 18 years testing positive for COVID-19 between January 1, 2020, and January 20, 2022. Using ordinal logistic regression, we identified factors associated with an ordinal outcome scale: nonhospitalization, hospitalization, or a severe composite outcome (ICU, intensive respiratory support, death). To contrast hospitalization for COVID-19 and incidental positivity on hospitalization, we secondarily identified patient factors associated with hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of COVID-19.

RESULTS

In 165 437 children with COVID-19, 3087 (1.8%) were hospitalized without complication, 2954 (1.8%) experienced ICU admission and/or intensive respiratory support, and 31 (0.02%) died. We grouped patients by age: 0 to 4 years old (35 088), and 5 to 11 years old (75 574), 12 to 18 years old (54 775). Factors positively associated with worse outcomes were preexisting comorbidities and residency in the Southern United States. In 0- to 4-year-old children, there was a nonlinear association between age and worse outcomes, with worse outcomes in 0- to 2-year-old children. In 5- to 18-year-old patients, vaccination was protective. Findings were similar in our secondary analysis of hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of COVID-19, though region effects were no longer observed.

CONCLUSIONS

Among children with COVID-19, preexisting comorbidities and residency in the Southern United States were positively associated with worse outcomes, whereas vaccination was negatively associated. Our study population was highly insured; future studies should evaluate underinsured populations to confirm generalizability.

Authors: Wu Chi-Fang , Highfield Linda , Swint John M. , Lairson David R.
Published: April 2023

CONTEXT

Provider-based human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine promotion interventions have been widely implemented; however, the effectiveness of these approaches is unclear.

OBJECTIVES

This systematic review assessed the effects and costs of provider-based interventions designed to increase HPV vaccination coverage. A meta-analysis was conducted to estimate pooled effect sizes of the interventions.

DATA SOURCES

We searched PubMed, Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library.

STUDY SELECTION

We identified articles on provider-based HPV vaccine promotion interventions published in English between 2007 and 2021.

DATA EXTRACTION

Information about the interventions’ effects and costs was extracted from the studies. A meta-analysis was performed to estimate the pooled intervention effects, including changes in the HPV vaccine initiation rate, HPV vaccine completion rate, and the percentage of patients receiving the next needed dose.

RESULTS

We identified 32 studies of provider-based interventions to improve the HPV vaccination rate. The reported intervention strategies included provider training, provider reminders, and provider assessment and feedback. In the meta-analysis, we found significant improvements in the HPV vaccine initiation rate (3.7%) and the percentage of patients receiving the next needed dose (9.4%).

LIMITATIONS

Because of the limited number of studies, we were unable to compare the same outcomes between different provider-based approaches. We found the high heterogeneity across studies. The random effects method was applied to adjust for study heterogeneity, the heterogeneity remined high for certain outcomes.

CONCLUSIONS

Provider-based interventions were effective in improving HPV vaccination rates. Sustainability and continuous implementation are the central factors that contributed to intervention success.

Published: April 2023

BACKGROUNDS

This study aimed to determine the best educational application of a respiratory function monitor and a video laryngoscope.

METHODS

This study was a randomized controlled simulation-based trial, including 167 medical students. Participants had to execute ventilation and intubation maneuvers on a newborn manikin. Participants were randomized into 3 groups. In group A (no-access), the feedback devices were not visible but recording. In group B (supervisor-access), the feedback devices were visible to the supervisor only. In group C (full-access), both the participant and the supervisor had visual access.

RESULTS

The two main outcome variables were the percentage of ventilations within the tidal volume target range (4–8mL/kg) and the number of intubation attempts. Group C achieved the highest percentage of ventilations within the tidal volume target range (full-access 63.6%, supervisor-access 51.0%, no-access 31.1%, P < .001) and the lowest mask leakage (full-access 34.9%, supervisor-access 46.6%, no-access 61.6%; A to B: P < .001, A to C: P < .001, B to C: P = .003). Overall, group C achieved superior ventilation quality regarding primary and secondary outcome measures. The number of intubation attempts until success was lowest in the full-access group (full-access: 1.29, supervisor-access: 1.77, no-access: 2.43; A to B: P = .001, A to C: P < .001, B to C: P = .015).

CONCLUSIONS

Our findings confirm that direct visual access to feedback devices for supervisor and trainees alike considerably benefits outcomes and can contribute to the future of clinical education.

Authors: Seth Ashok , Kumar Vijay , Singh Vivudh Pratap , Kumar Dhananjay , Varma Puneet , Rastogi Vishal
Published: April 2023

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) performed using femoral arterial access is now a guideline recommended treatment for severe calcific aortic stenosis (AS) in elderly patients. Technological advancements and procedural refinements have focused on making TAVI simpler, safer, more effective and durable. Myval (Meril Lifesciences) is a new generation balloon-expandable transcatheter heart valve (THV) developed in India that possesses novel features to improve deliverability and aid precise deployment. Following the first-in-human study, Myval was approved in India for commercial implantation in October 2018 and was subsequently given a CE mark in April 2019. This article reviews the science, technology and up-to-date clinical evidence for the Myval THV.

Published: April 2023

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is an effective and established treatment for symptomatic aortic stenosis. However, there is a lack of consensus concerning the need for peri- and post-procedural anti-thrombotic medication. Contemporary guidelines recommend that anti-thrombotic therapy is balanced against a patient’s bleeding risk following TAVI, but do not fully consider the evolving evidence base. The purpose of the Delphi panel recommendations presented here is to provide a consensus elicited from a panel of experts who regularly prescribe anti-thrombotic therapy post-TAVI. The goal was to address evidence gaps across four key topics: anti-thrombotic therapy (anti-platelet and/or anti-coagulant) in TAVI patients in sinus rhythm; anti-thrombotic therapy in TAVI patients with AF; direct oral anti-coagulants versus vitamin K antagonists; and the need for UK/Ireland specific guidance. This consensus statement aims to inform clinical decision-making by providing a concise, evidence-based summary of best practice for prescribing anti-thrombotic therapies following TAVI and highlights areas where further research is needed.

In the Asia-Pacific region, heart failure (HF) is associated with significant health and socioeconomic burden. Given the differences in the epidemiology of HF, as well as the availability of healthcare resources between Asian and Western countries, an Asian Pacific Society of Cardiology (APSC) working group developed consensus recommendations on the management of chronic HF in the Asia-Pacific region. The APSC expert panel reviewed and appraised the available evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Consensus recommendations were developed and put to an online vote. Consensus was reached when 80% of votes for a given recommendation were either ‘agree’ or ‘neutral’. The resulting statements provide guidance on the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of patients with HF with reduced, mildly reduced or preserved ejection fraction in the Asia-Pacific region.
Tomás y Tomás Francisco y sus amuletos: dos esclavizados frente a la Inquisición de la Nueva España en el siglo XVIII
Authors: Guerrero-Mosquera Andrea
Published: April 2023

este texto rastreó el lenguaje utilizado por los inquisidores en dos expedientes y los objetos enviados desde la Inquisición de Veracruz a la de Ciudad de México. Para este fi n se realizó un análisis cruzado de los expedientes con las descripciones escritas por misioneros y viajeros que estuvieron en África durante el siglo XVII y que dieron cuenta de algunas características que ayudan a entender el signifi cado religioso que había detrás de los objetos. Al mismo tiempo, se analizó la narrativa de los acusados y los hechos descritos en ambos expedientes. En estos documentos de la Inquisición se encontraron registros de los objetos incautados por los inquisidores, lo que permitió conocer parte de las culturas africanas y por tanto se pudieron identifi car algunas de las dinámicas a las que se enfrentaron los acusados cuando estaban ante la justicia y, asimismo, se examinaron algunas prácticas rituales y religiosas en la diáspora africana en las Américas.
“Solicito mi libertad”: la construcción de una identidad libre en las solicitudes de libertad enviadas a la Junta de Manumisión de Medellín, Colombia (1830-1851)
Authors: Ochoa-Rincón Astrid-Carolina
Published: April 2023

la Ley de vientre libre de julio de 1821 planteó para la Gran Colombia la manumisión paulatina de los esclavizados y la creación de las Juntas de Manumisión encargadas de llevar a cabo este proceso en cada provincia y cantón del territorio. Desde la promulgación de la norma hasta la abolición defi nitiva de la esclavitud —1851—, la población esclavizada de Medellín se presentó ante las Juntas solicitando ser elegida para gozar del precioso don de la libertad y declarando poseer una serie de cualidades que los hacían hombres y mujeres libres. En este sentido, este artículo indaga sobre el proceso de construcción de esta identidad libre y se plantean los siguientes interrogantes: ¿cómo se configuró la idea de libertad en el imaginario de la población esclavizada?, ¿qué sentido tuvo solicitarla ante la Junta de Manumisión?, ¿qué características hacían que una persona mereciese o no la libertad y de qué manera estas características infl uyeron en la representación que los esclavizados hicieron de sí mismos? Para responder estas preguntas se caracterizaron las solicitudes de libertad de 335 esclavizados y una muestra de estas fue analizada e interpretada a la luz del contexto en que se crearon, con lo que se concluye que a través de las solicitudes los esclavizados hicieron uso de un lenguaje hegemónico y unas estrategias de enunciación que les permitieron construir una identidad de sujetos merecedores de la libertad dada por la Junta de Manumisión de Medellín.

Published: April 2023

Cyanocorax cyanopogon (Wied-Neuwied, 1821), a bird endemic to Brazil, inhabits dry scrub and woodlands and the borders of tropical and riparian forests. Although C. cyanopogon is more common in central and northeastern Brazil, owing to increasing deforestation, its distribution has expanded to south. There are several records of this species outside its distribution as usually given. Here, we present the southernmost record of this species in Brazil, showing this species’ expansion to the Southeastern Region. Therefore, this new record shows the importance of surveys to fill gaps in biodiversity knowledge, especially in disturbed environments.

The present paper presents the results of theoretical and experimental studies of all-glass leakage channel microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) with large mode area and low bending loss. These MOFs comprise two layers of fluorine-doped silica glass elements with reduced refractive index, different diameters and different distances between them. Numerical analysis of the properties of these MOFs is performed using the finite element method. The leakage losses for fundamental and higher order modes in the spectral range from 0.70 μm to 1.65 μm for straight and bended MOFs is calculated. It is shown that the proposed MOF design makes it possible to obtain a single-mode regime in the spectral range from 0.98 μm to 1.14 μm with a bending radius up to 0.08 m, while the leakage loss for a bended MOF at a wavelength of 1.05 μm is 0.052 dB/m. The measured loss of manufactured MOF with a core diameter of 22.5 μm at a bending radius of 0.1 m was less than 0.1 dB/m in the spectral range from 0.9 μm to 1.5 μm. It has been demonstrated that segments of this MOF with a length of more than 5 m are single-mode.

The photoluminescence of LiNbO3:Mg(0.19÷5.29 mol.% MgO) crystals obtained by various technologies has been studied in the near IR region. It showed that a contribution to the photoluminescence of the crystals was made by two main bands at 1.53 and 1.35 eV being associated with intrinsic defect centers in the crystals. The intensity of these bands, especially the band at 1.53 eV, in LiNbO3:Mg(0.19÷5.29 mol.% MgO) crystals correlated well with the concentration of hydroxyl groups in ones. Therefore, there was a complex luminescence center including OH- groups in the crystals.

. High levels of fine (PM2.5) and ultrafine (PM0.1) particles in the atmosphere can cause adverse effects on the environment and human health. This study aims at determining the mass concentrations of PM and meteorological influencing factors in high pollution event days in Hanoi. Daily samples of PM2.5 and PM0.1 were collected at a mixed site in Hanoi, Vietnam, from the middle of October to December 2020. High pollution events were determined based on PM2.5 concentrations and analyzed for its average concentration and intensity (number of days). The regression analysis and correlation matrix were determined by R software, version 4.04. Seven high pollution events were recorded for 2.5 sampling months. The daily PM2.5 concentrations were in the range of 19 - 147 µg/m3. Those of PM0.1 varied from 2 to 13 µg/m3 with an average of 6 µg/m3. The investigated meteorological factors can explain 70% PM2.5 variation but only 47% of PM0.1 variations.
AVALIAÇÃO DA INFLUÊNCIA DE DANOS NA PERMEAÇÃO E DIFUSÃO DE GEOMEMBRANAS POLIMÉRICAS
Authors: Mello Júlia Bosso , Lavoie Fernando Luiz , Lodi Paulo César
Published: April 2023

As geomembranas têm sido empregadas com o objetivo de impermeabilizar e proteger o solo e também os lençóis freáticos e mananciais. No entanto, durante o processo de instalação estas podem tornar-se suscetíveis à ocorrência de danos mecânicos (furos, microfuros e/ou rasgos). Dessa forma, os parâmetros de permeabilidade/permeação podem ser afetados e, caso ocorram vazamentos, fugas ou pequenas imperfeições que aumentem o fluxo através da geomembrana, a obra toda terá perdido sua função levando à falência do projeto. Nesse contexto, torna-se imprescindível o estudo da permeação e do processo difusivo em geomembranas poliméricas, permitindo garantir que suas propriedades estejam dentro dos parâmetros para qual foi projetada. Assim, essa pesquisa avaliou as propriedades de permeação e difusão de geomembranas de polietileno de alta densidade (PEAD) e poli cloreto de vinila (PVC) nas espessuras de 1,0 mm quando em contato com água e hidrocarbonetos. Foram avaliadas geomembranas intactas e com danos induzidos (microfuros, furos e por processos de abrasão). Os ensaios de permeação foram realizados de acordo com as recomendações da ASTM E96. O ensaio de difusão foi realizado com equipamento desenvolvido e com o auxílio da técnica de cromatografia gasosa. Para tanto foram avaliados dois tipos de solos locais (arenoso e argiloso). Os principais resultados mostram que os danos causados às geomembranas influenciaram significativamente os valores de permeação. A cromatografia gasosa mostrou-se extremamente eficaz na detecção de compostos do tipo BTEX.

Muitos alunos já possuíam conhecimento prévio sobre o assunto, e notou-se o grande interesse no curso, pois estes são pouco ofertados.
EXAMINING THE CONTENT ALIGNMENT BETWEEN LANGUAGE CURRICULUM AND A LANGUAGE TEST IN CHINA
Authors: Wallace Matthew P , Ke Haijiao
Published: April 2023

This study examined the content alignment between an English as a foreign language skills curriculum and a provincial language test in China. When there is misalignment in the content between the standards of a curriculum and a test, conclusions about student abilities and teaching effectiveness can be questioned. To examine this, three categories of alignment were investigated using document analysis and expert judgment: categorical concurrence, range of knowledge correspondence, and balance of representation. Eight reviewers coded the curriculum and test items. Results showed that the curriculum aligned across the three criteria for the listening and reading skills. For the writing skills, the range of knowledge correspondence and balance of representation criteria were met, but categorical concurrence was not. The test did not include speaking items, so there was complete misalignment with that curriculum. The findings showed that the test partially aligned with the curriculum, suggesting that performance may not fully represent students’ ability to meet the curricular standards. We recommend that future tests should comprehensively cover all of the content in the curriculum and when doing so to ensure there is a sufficient number of items measuring each objective. This would improve how accurately interpretations of student performance can be made.
DEMYSTIFYING STUDENT-UNIVERSITY IDENTIFICATION AMONG VIRTUAL TEFL CANDIDATES: THE CASE OF IRAN
Authors: Salimi Esmaeel Ali , Banitalebi Zahra
Published: April 2023

Student-University Identification (SUI) of virtual students in higher education is one area of identity that receives less attention. This study aimed to explore the SUI of a purposive sample of five virtual students studying Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) at the Ph.D. level in Iran. Investigating SUI in higher education among virtual TEFL Ph.D. candidates potentially contributes to demystifying a complex relationship of factors, such as cultural experiences, linguistic backgrounds, and online environment challenges. Using phenomenology, the study investigated the identities of the participants by thematically analyzing semi-structured interview data. The findings revealed the participants’ various ways of identifying with a university, the subsequent consequences of identification, and the obstacles preventing them to develop SUI. The findings indicated that several factors at play are unique to doctoral candidates. The faculty prestige, research-based concerns, and nature of online media were identified to be crucial aspects of SUI for the TEFL Ph.D. students. Universities are thus advised to provide appropriate direction for virtual candidates. The study also found that some students perceived a lack of competence in TEFL, which, in turn, acted as a barrier to their SUI. To alleviate this problem, further research needs to identify what is lacking in teacher education university programs and what initiatives are required to improve TEFL students’ professional development and help them become confident English teachers.

Trata-se de uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativa, na qual os dados foram produzidos por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas, com cinco professores/as, e analisados por meio da Análise Textual Discursiva. Ao colocar como foco da análise o currículo praticado e sua relação com o livro didático, os resultados demonstram as disputas por significados, pois, os/as docentes reconheceram o caráter limitado do livro didático na abordagem da temática gênero e sexualidade. Os resultados apontam, ainda, que estes/as docentes não apresentavam a intenção de discutir tal temática, no entanto, mediante os relatos das vivências dos/das alunos/as, repensaram sobre o currículo previamente idealizado. Nesse sentido, os/as alunos/as, tencionando a discussão das questões de gênero e de sexualidade, para além dos aspectos biológicos, contribuíram diretamente para que outras configurações curriculares ocorressem.

Aim. To investigate the relationship between echocardiographic parameters and laboratory immune inflammation signs in patients after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia depending on the left ventricular (LV) involvement according to speckle tracking echocardiography (STE).

Material and methods. The study included 216 patients (men, 51,1%, mean age, 50,1±11,1 years). The examination was carried out in patients 3 months after COVID-19 pneumonia. Patients were divided in 3 groups: group I (n=41) — diffuse decrease (≥4 segments the same LV level) of longitudinal strain (LS) according to STE; group II (n=67) — patients with regional decrease (LS reduction ≥3 segments corresponding to systems of the anterior, circumflex or right coronary arteries); group III — patients without visual left ventricle involvement (n=108).

Results. There were no significant differences in LV ejection fraction — 68,9±4,1% in group I, 68,5±4,4% in group II and 68,6±4,3 in group III (p=0,934). A decrease in the global longitudinal left ventricle strain was detected significantly more often in groups I and II compared with group III (-17,8±2,0, -18,5±2,0 and -20,8±1,8%, respectively; p<0,001). At the same time, LS depression of LV basal level (-14,9±1,5, -16,8±1,2% and -19,1±1,7%; p<0,001), as well as a decrease in LS of LV inferior-posterior segments in group with diffuse involvement was detected significantly more often than in groups II and III. In addition, we revealed a significant difference in interleukin-6 concentration — 3,1 [2,5;4,0], 3,1 [2,4;3,8] and 2,5 [3,8;1,7] pg/ml, (p=0,033), C-reactive protein — 4,0 [2,2;7,9], 5,7 [3,2;7,9] and 2,4 [1,1;4,7] mg/l, (p<0,001), tumor necrosis factor-a — 5,9±1,9, 6,2±1,9 and 5,2±2,0 pg/ml, (p=0,004) and ferritin — 130,7 [56,5;220,0], 92,2 [26,0;129,4] and 51,0 [23,2;158,9] pg/l, respectively (p=0,025).

Conclusion. A relationship was found between diffuse and regional left ventricular involvement according to STE and signs of immune inflammation in patients 3 months after COVID-19 pneumonia.

The article presents a case report of the Chatterjee phenomenon after implantation of a pacemaker in a patient with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. During hospitalization in a specialized cardiology hospital, the patient's electrocardiogram (ECG) showed atrial fibrillation (AF) with a ventricular rate of 49 bpm, ST segment depression of 1 mm in I, II, V4-V6 leads. Taking into account the data of 24-hour ECG monitoring (pauses up to 5,2 seconds with AF) and Stokes-Adams syndrome equivalents, a decision was made to implant a single-chamber pacemaker. Immediately after the pacemaker implantation, AF was registered on the ECG with a pacemaker VVI mode of 60 pulses/min. On the second day after intervention, the pacemaker was reprogrammed in the form of reducing the minimum pacing rate from 60 to 45 pulses/min. On the third day after pacemaker implantation, altered terminal ventricular complex part was detected in the form of negative T waves in I, II, III, aVF, V2-V6 leads, as well as ST segment depression in V3-V6 to 1,5 mm. Differential diagnosis of the identified abnormalities with other clinical conditions accompanied by impaired repolarization processes according to ECG data was carried out. In dynamics, normalization of the ECG picture after 2,5 months was demonstrated.

RESUMO Objetivos: avaliar a relação entre bem-estar espiritual, sintomas e funcionalidade de pacientes em cuidados paliativos. Métodos: estudo descritivo correlacional, realizado com 135 pacientes atendidos em ambulatórios de cuidados paliativos. A Escala Funcional de Karnofsky, a Escala de Avaliação de Sintomas de Edmonton, a Escala de Espiritualidade e a Escala Hospitalar de Ansiedade e Depressão foram utilizadas. Os dados foram submetidos à análise estatística descritiva e correlação de Spearman. Resultados: entre os participantes, 68,2% eram pacientes oncológicos. Os sintomas mais prevalentes foram alterações do bem-estar (65,2%), ansiedade (63,7%), tristeza (63%) e fadiga (63%). Tristeza, dispneia, sonolência, ansiedade e depressão apresentaram correlação fraca a moderada com bem-estar espiritual. A sobrecarga de sintomas mostrou correlação negativa fraca com funcionalidade. Conclusões: a intensificação dos sintomas esteve correlacionada à piora na percepção de bem-estar espiritual. A redução da funcionalidade esteve relacionada ao aumento da quantidade de sintomas, em especial depressão e ansiedade.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar as evidências científicas sobre a coragem moral e fatores relacionados entre estudantes de graduação em enfermagem. Métodos: trata-se de uma scoping review com protocolo registrado no Open Science Framework, realizada em cinco bases de dados, conforme método do Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers, estratégia mnemônica População, Conceito e Contexto, e checklist específico. Resultados: identificou-se 2.812 resultados, sendo que nove estudos foram elegidos. Três enfoques temáticos foram identificados: Percepção da coragem moral pelos estudantes de enfermagem; Coragem moral e fatores relacionados; e Ensino da coragem moral no âmbito da formação de estudantes de enfermagem. Dentre os fatores relacionados com a coragem moral, destacou-se o sofrimento moral, a sensibilidade moral, a idade e a presença de um diploma anterior na área da saúde. Considerações Finais: evidenciou-se poucas publicações e com baixo nível de evidência, sendo oriundas majoritariamente de países desenvolvidos, indicando que lacunas ainda precisam ser preenchidas.

Published: April 2023

Resumo Este artigo descreve a incidência acumulada e as características das crianças de até 12 anos com transtorno global do desenvolvimento (TGD) atendidas no CAPSi. Realizou-se estudo transversal descritivo, utilizando o Registro de Ações Ambulatoriais de Saúde. Avaliou-se a incidência acumulada de TGD no período 2013-2019 e tendência temporal das características das crianças e do atendimento pelo método de Prais-Winsten. Identificaram-se 23.657 registros de primeiro atendimento, mas 10,8% sem seguimento. A incidência acumulada foi de 13,2/10.000, com ampla variação entre municípios e grandes regiões, embora vários sem registro de casos. Observou-se queda no percentual de primeiro atendimento, com incremento médio anual de 17,8%. A maioria das crianças foi atendida no município de residência (96,8%) e recebeu diagnóstico inicial de autismo infantil (30,6%), embora 54,0% sem TGD especificado no primeiro atendimento. Apenas 30,2% foram diagnosticadas até três anos de idade. A garantia do cuidado na atenção especializada e o diagnóstico precoce permanecem como desafios.

ABSTRACT: The study aimed to describe the clinicopathological aspects of 37 cases of pythiosis, 34 in horses and three in mules, from properties located in the Amazon biome of Pará, Brazil. The clinical signs observed in the animals were weakness, poor-to-regular nutritional status, pale mucous membranes, itching at the lesion site, and lameness when the limbs were affected. The lesions were located on the lips, nostrils, rib region, thoracic and abdominal walls, scapular, distal limbs, foreskin, perineum and udder. Macroscopically, ulcerative and granulation-tissue-like masses were observed, with fistulous tracts filled with yellowish and foul-smelling serosanguinous discharges. In the biopsy, it was possible to visualize white and firm areas with foci of yellowish necrotic material and hardened masses, called kunkers. The histopathological examination showed a pyogranulomatous inflammatory reaction with the presence of Pythium insidiosum hyphae, which were impregnated with black, confirming the diagnosis of pythiosis in equids in the Amazon biome, being the first report of the disease in mules in the region.
A clivagem e seus embargos na adicção sexual
Authors: Klier Ney , Winograd Monah
Published: April 2023

RESUMO: Categoria notável no panorama dos casos fronteiriços, a adicção sexual é uma configuração psicopatológica em que o ato sexual adquire teor irrefreável e nocivo, a despeito da compreensão intelectual e possíveis racionalizações do sex-addict sobre o problema. O objetivo deste artigo é investigar a primazia do mecanismo de defesa da clivagem no engendramento da adicção sexual, a partir de uma revisão metapsicológica e da apresentação de duas vinhetas clínicas. Destaca-se o caráter pseudo-reparador da atividade sexual que, sem êxito, visaria suturar fendas no sistema de um ego clivado, estagnado em suas capacidades integrativas e eróticas.
A ABORDAGEM PÓS-METAFÍSICA E CONVERSACIONAL DO SELF EM RICHARD RORTY
Authors: Barreira Marcelo Martins
Published: April 2023

RESUMO: O artigo enfoca a relevância de uma dimensão política no psíquico. Em nossa hermenêutica sobre o tema, em um primeiro momento, abordaremos as linhas gerais de uma ruptura com modelos filosóficos metafísicos do self, tendo como exemplo as críticas de Rorty e Heidegger à “intencionalidade de consciência” de Jean-Paul Sartre; bem como o contraponto rortiano à leitura epistemológica da psicanálise de Paul Ricoeur. Em uma segunda etapa, discutiremos a concepção rortiana de self por mostrar, ao final, seus possíveis limites com a abordagem antipredicativa de self.
QUAL DISCURSO AO CAPITALISMO?
Authors: MALCHER FABIO
Published: April 2023

RESUMO: Freud demarca em sua obra o quanto subjetividade e cultura se afetam mutuamente, algo que a teoria lacaniana dos discursos permite explorar com rigor. Pretendemos abordar alguns efeitos discursivos do capitalismo a partir da teoria dos discursos de Jacques Lacan, avançando no debate acerca de qual matema melhor expressaria tais efeitos, o discurso universitário, denominado em 1970 como discurso do mestre moderno com seu estilo capitalista, ou o discurso do capitalista, proposto em 1972 em Milão. Apostamos que não se trate de uma opção exclusiva, mas que ambos possam fornecer ricas contribuições para a exploração dos efeitos discursivos do capitalismo.
