Authors: Sihag Vivendar , Li Wenyu , Hagar Abdullah , Peng Yong , Feng Yuan , Bhushan Sandeep , Chen Mao
Published: April 2022

Background: The present study aims to evaluate how nutritional status may affect transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) outcomes.
Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study of 383 TAVI patients. In-hospital, 1-month, and 12-month survival was evaluated. Since most patients undergoing TAVI are over 75 years old, the NRI definition for a geriatric population (GNRI) was used. Preoperative baseline clinical and laboratory data were collected and then the corresponding nutritional status was calculated, including Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index (GNRI), Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNRI), and Controlling Nutritional Status Score (CONUT). Survival analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis were used to evaluate the correlation between these parameters and TAVI outcome.
Results: By CONUT and GNRI scores, 168 (58.9%) and 40 (14.0%) patients were considered to have mild malnutrition, respectively. By using PNI, CONUT, and GNRI scores, 16 (5.7%), 29 (10.3%), and 39 (13.7%) patients were moderately or severely malnourished.
Survival analysis showed that patients with worse nutritional status had a worse prognosis regardless of the nutritional score used. Subgroup analysis showed that these differences remained significant in subgroups of patients over age 75. COX multivariate analysis showed that GNRI, PNI, and CONUT were independently associated with all-cause mortality during the follow-up.
Conclusion: Patients with worse nutritional status had a worse prognosis regardless of the nutritional score used. Subgroup analysis showed that these differences remained significant in subgroups of patients over age 75. GNRI, PNI, and CONUT were independent predictors of all-cause mortality after TAVI.
Uso de agua para limpieza en una lechería del Valle Central de Costa Rica
Authors: Elizondo-Salazar Jorge Alberto , Marín-Hernández David Ernesto
Published: April 2022

La producción pecuaria a nivel mundial consume aproximadamente un tercio del agua de la actividad humana y 98% de la huella hídrica para producción animal es el agua requerida para producir su alimento. Parte del agua utilizada en los sistemas lecheros corresponde al agua de lavado y en Costa Rica no se cuenta con suficiente información de este tipo, por lo que el presente trabajo tuvo como objetivo generar información con respecto al uso de agua de lavado en la lechería de la Estación Experimental Alfredo Volio Mata de la Universidad de Costa Rica. El estudio se llevó a cabo durante el segundo semestre del 2018. Se establecieron tres indicadores de eficiencia que consideraron cuatro variables: agua utilizada para lavado de instalaciones superficie de piso expuesto a la excreción, animales presentes, y excretas generadas en las instalaciones Los tres indicadores fueron: agua utilizada por kilogramo de excreta generada, agua utilizada por animal y agua utilizada por unidad de superficie. Para el primer indicador, se obtuvo un valor de 12,0 litros de agua por kilogramo de excreta generada; para el segundo indicador un valor de 104,0 litros por animal y finalmente para el tercer indicador, el agua utilizada por metro cuadrado de área expuesta fue de 7,3 litros. La información generada puede servir de insumo para crear herramientas con el fin de identificar opciones para maximizar el uso y conservación del agua en los sistemas ganaderos para producción de leche.
Efecto de la suplementación de β-caroteno en vacas lecheras sobre concentraciones en sangre y calostro, reproducción y salud de la ubre
Authors: Aguiar-Zalzano Eduardo , Rojas-Bourrillon Augusto , Murillo-Barrantes Julio
Published: April 2022

Los forrajes verdes presentan altas concentraciones de β-caroteno, pero estas pueden verse reducidas durante su almacenamiento pasando de niveles de 300 ppm a 10 ppm al finalizar el invierno. Las concentraciones de β-caroteno en las vacas se ven afectadas por el ciclo productivo, donde las concentraciones plasmáticas decrecen durante el periodo seco alcanzando su punto más bajo cerca del día 4 o 6 postparto, pudiendo ocasionar problemas reproductivos por la posible afectación de los niveles de progesterona. Por ello se realizó este estudio entre agosto de 2014 y diciembre de 2015 en San Pedro de Poás (Costa Rica), en una lechería semi-estabulada. Se evaluó el efecto de diferentes fuentes de β-caroteno sobre sus concentraciones en el calostro y la sangre, la concentración de progesterona, los parámetros reproductivos y las células somáticas en leche. Se evaluaron 18 vacas secas, separadas en 3 grupos (Control, β-caroteno parenteral (T1) y β-caroteno enteral (T2)). Las concentraciones plasmáticas de β-caroteno se vieron afectadas durante el ciclo productivo, siendo el nivel más bajo justo después del parto (p<0.015). La administración enteral del β-caroteno únicamente fue capaz de producir cambios significativos en las concentraciones sanguíneas de progesterona y β-caroteno durante los primeros 120 días postparto, sin afectar significativamente los parámetros reproductivos de las vacas evaluadas ni los conteos de células somáticas.
Getting Paid and Paying Attention
Authors: Barter Jane , Driedger David
Published: April 2022

This essay explores some of the theological and economic presuppositions at work in the advocacy for Universal or Guaranteed Basic Income arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. This is not to undermine the movement toward basic income, but to use this development – including the churches’ involvement therein – as a starting point to ask certain theological questions about the way in which this intervention has been configured in neoliberal capitalism. We argue that this intervention can serve as an individualized remedy to a growing, and ubiquitous, social and economic need as the gap between rich and poor expands. This is a logic and strategy that is commonplace in neoliberal capitalism as it denies public goods and government responsibility in favour of privatization and individual consumptive “freedom.” This essay examines the ways in which neoliberalism offers its own theological account of individual freedom, which is itself a secularized form of Christian anthropology.
Stand-alone noticing as a resource for constructing the reflectable
Authors: Waring Hansun Zhang
Published: April 2022

Language teacher educators have made compelling arguments for the importance of fostering reflective practices. This paper explores how potential ‘reflectables’ may be located and negotiated through the practice of noticing. Based on a conversation analytic (CA) investigation of ‘stand-alone’ (not produced in conjunctions with questions, advice, and assessment) noticings in mentor-trainee conversations, the analysis shows how such noticing may be used to recalibrate the trainee’s reflective gaze and develop their professional vision. Findings contribute to the small body of video-based CA literature on post-observation conferences as well as the broader literature on noticing as an interactional practice within the specific context of language teaching and learning.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze government social initiatives aimed at people with tuberculosis and the possibilities of access to government social programs and income transfers through the perception of tuberculosis program managers. Methods: descriptive, qualitative study with 19 managers from Belém, Recife, Campo Grande, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Thematic content analysis was used. Results: there is no specific government social support for people with tuberculosis; the benefits are intended for people in social vulnerability. There are partnerships between the institutions of the secondary social healthcare network, social assistance, and community institutions. Final Considerations: the support of official bodies is important for the control of tuberculosis; however, the profile of people’s vulnerability is a determining factor for access to/destination of resources from these government social support programs.

Termina exigindo um novo contrato social global, em nível nacional e internacional.
A crise cambial e o ajuste fiscal
Authors: SCHWARTSMAN ALEXANDRE
Published: April 2022

RESUMO Acreditamos que a literatura de crise da balança de pagamentos pode oferecer a base para entender a atual turbulência econômica no Brasil. De acordo com nossos cálculos, a taxa de câmbio real requer uma desvalorização de 15% a 20%, a fim de garantir que a restrição intertemporal da balança de pagamentos não seja violada. Essa moeda apreciada (e a política cambial projetada para reduzir a valorização) impõe um fardo pesado à política monetária: a paridade de juros cobertos implica em altas taxas de juros domésticas reais para financiar a conta corrente. Eventualmente, a defesa da taxa de câmbio exige um aumento adicional nas taxas de juros, aceitas pelo governo, o peso da estabilidade na função de perda do governo parece ser muito maior do que o atribuído ao desemprego (ou crescimento). No entanto, apesar dessas preferências, a existência de um grande déficit orçamentário impõe limites objetivos ao uso das taxas de juros como forma de defender a moeda. Na ausência de um acentuado ajuste fiscal, a política monetária não será mais plausível. Nesse sentido, o ajuste fiscal é um elemento crucial para sustentar a atual política cambial.
The “Pink panther” in architecture: the transdisciplinary approach and thought without image
Authors: Özdamar Esen Gökçe
Published: April 2022

Abstract: As a form of in vivo knowledge, the transdisciplinary (TR) methodology suggests going beyond disciplines. According to Nicolescu, this methodology occurs at different levels of reality (ontological), different levels of perception (complexity), and within the logic of the included middle (logical) axioms that exist simultaneously. In addressing these levels, the researcher is the interlocutor between the external world of the Object and the internal world of the Subject. In architecture, this knowledge emerges through a variety of disciplines that need to be fused with an approach that is rhizomatic and nomadic, leading to thought without an image as characterized by Deleuze and Guattari. By following their “Pink Panther” metaphor for an imageless thought and approach (which does not imitate or reproduce something else) in TR, this article aims to understand the relationship between the TR methodology and the theory of thought without an image - an approach which can enable the comprehension of ambiguous architecture and urban design problems.
Sismografias: a, de derrida
Authors: Monteiro Hugo
Published: April 2022

Resumo: Este texto parte da letra A, da sua importância e da sua centralidade na Desconstrução de Derrida. Em função dessa letra iniciática, indício da “ironia muda” da différance como sincategorema do pensamento de Derrida, tentar-se-á acompanhar o modo como se apresenta à Filosofia Contemporânea como uma espécie de sismo, de abalo e de nova propulsão. Sismografias tenta então reconhecer, na postura e no desenvolvimento dessa letra “A”, a forma como o trabalho de Derrida abala pela base o território dos conceitos, convocando a urgência e a responsabilidade da filosofia, da escrita e do pensamento. Nesse sentido, trata-se aqui de acompanhar as linhas de desenvolvimento de uma letra motriz, que pontuou, do início ao fim e em todas as direções, o pensamento de Derrida como idioma, como revolução filosófica, como sismografia.
Para uma ethical turn da tecnologia: por que Hans Jonas não é um tecnofóbico
Authors: Oliveira Jelson R. de
Published: April 2022

Resumo: O objetivo do presente artigo é contrapor à acusação de tecnofóbico, erroneamente dirigida a Hans Jonas, a sua proposta de uma ethical turn da tecnologia, cujas bases estariam na capacidade ética de impor contenções ao avanço utópico do progresso técnico, algo que leva a ética da responsabilidade ao polêmico conceito de “heurística do temor”. Para tanto, parte-se de um exame sobre o projeto jonasiano de uma filosofia da tecnologia, cuja terceira perspectiva seria valorativa, sendo esta a que ele melhor desenvolveu. A partir daí, analisa-se qual seria o valor da tecnologia, com base no ponto de vista da vida (nos seus quatro âmbitos: presente e futura, humana e extra-humana) para então se examinar, estrategicamente, a posição de Gerard Lebrun, para quem Jonas estaria entre os filósofos tecnofóbicos. O intuito, nesse caso, é demonstrar a incoerência de tal interpretação, precisamente porque o pensador francês, com grande atuação no Brasil, confunde a proposta da reorientação ética (no sentido de um poder desde dentro da técnica) com a imposição de um poder exterior, de cunho paralisante.
Cuerpo y conciencia de ser en Miguel de Unamuno
Authors: Vicente-Pedraz Miguel , Brozas-Polo María Paz
Published: April 2022

Resumen: En este trabajo se indaga en las respuestas que Miguel de Unamuno (1864 - 1936) ofrece al problema de la conciencia de ser como parte esencial de la construcción biográfica. A partir de algunas de sus obras más representativas pero, sobre todo, a través la más genuinamente existencialista, Del sentimiento trágico de la vida (1913), tratamos de esclarecer los códigos argumentales sobre los que Unamuno desarrolla, a veces abruptamente, las ideas de memoria, intimidad o mismidad así como las tribulaciones que estas le provocan respecto de dos de los ámbitos doctrinales que más le definen como filósofo: la doctrina del hombre de carne y hueso y la doctrina de la inmortalidad. Constatamos cómo ambas doctrinas, singularmente construidas a partir de la noción de conciencia encarnada, se resuelven a través de la conciencia de singularidad y esta, a su vez, como volición de pervivencia corpórea.
Marx tem um método dialético próprio?
Authors: Nakamura Emmanuel
Published: April 2022

Resumo: Este artigo procura responder à pergunta se Marx possui de fato um método dialético próprio. A argumentação está dividida em três partes. Na primeira, procura-se mostrar que as críticas de Marx ao método absoluto de Hegel poderiam ser tomadas por este como meras explicações sobre o seu próprio método. Na segunda parte, tecem-se algumas considerações sobre o que é o método dialético de Hegel, a partir das figuras da imediaticidade e da imediaticidade mediada. Na última parte, apresentam-se três exemplos de como Marx pratica, em sua crítica à Economia Política, exatamente aquilo que criticou no método dialético de Hegel.

Published: April 2022

Resumo O presente artigo problematiza o vínculo político entre a construção do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e a comunicação. Compreendendo a comunicação como um campo dos direitos da cidadania pouco desenvolvido no Brasil, trabalhamos com a hipótese de que a presença de um oligopólio midiático no sistema de telecomunicações e jornalismo constrange a formação democrática de um juízo público sobre o SUS afetando a relação de forças que disputam os rumos do sistema. Partindo da análise de pesquisas de opinião e de estudos sobre a cobertura do SUS pela mídia nacional, argumentamos que a comunicação consiste em um determinante político central à construção de uma base social de apoio ao SUS e superação dos impasses identificados pela literatura. Concluímos que a relação entre comunicação, política e democracia traz para o SUS o desafio de disputar no cotidiano dos cidadãos e cidadãs brasileiros a formação de uma consciência pública sanitária, conforme colocado por Giovanni Berlinguer ao nascente movimento da Reforma Sanitária brasileira nos anos 1970.
Invisibilidade social das doenças profissionais no Brasil (1919-2019)
Authors: Assunção Ada Ávila
Published: April 2022

Resumo Verifica-se no Brasil e no mundo uma discrepância entre as estimativas dos efeitos da exposição aos riscos ocupacionais sobre a saúde e as estatísticas oficiais de doenças profissionais. Em que pese as inovações nas listas oficiais, principalmente, no período 1999-2007, a subestimação estatística não foi modificada. A análise documental forneceu elementos para identificar a produção da ignorância científica, o ordenamento jurídico vigente e o funcionamento das entidades médico-administrativas que produzem a invisibilidade social das doenças profissionais. Discutiu-se de que maneira essa invisibilidade é produzida por diferentes estruturas lógicas e horizontes normativos que fundamentam o diagnóstico, comunicação e registro dessas doenças. As hipóteses foram desenvolvidas em linha com os constructos da sociologia da ciência e inação pública.
Comunidades terapêuticas religiosas: entre a salvação pela fé e a negação dos seus princípios
Authors: Bardi Giovanna , Garcia Maria Lúcia Teixeira
Published: April 2022

Resumo O avanço das comunidades terapêuticas no Brasil aponta para um retorno ao paradigma manicomial, com financiamento público para internações baseadas em laborterapia e conversão religiosa. No Espírito Santo, a relação entre essas instituições e setores do governo se amplia a partir de 2013. Diante deste cenário, objetivamos analisar, por meio desta pesquisa qualitativa, o papel das comunidades terapêuticas religiosas no tratamento de indivíduos em uso abusivo de drogas, focalizando no impacto dos métodos religiosos empregados nestes locais. Para isso, realizamos entrevistas semiestruturadas com 28 indivíduos egressos de internações nestes locais. As entrevistas foram realizadas durante seis meses e, posteriormente, transcritas na íntegra. Os dados foram analisados por meio da Análise do Discurso. Os discursos dos sujeitos oscilaram: 13 referiram que as instituições tiveram um importante papel em seus processos de tratamento e que os métodos religiosos os ajudaram; e 15 defenderam que as instituições não foram eficientes em seus tratamentos e que os métodos religiosos nada contribuíram. O estudo elucidou a necessidade de fiscalização destas instituições, bem como reflexão sobre a pertinência das mesmas como locais financiados publicamente para o tratamento da população usuária de drogas.

Abstract This article aims to compare the prevalence of active commuting to work in adults in the Southern region of Brazil between 2006 and 2016 according to sociodemographic and labor characteristics. The data from the Brazilian System for the Surveillance of Risk and Protection Factors for Chronic Diseases - VIGITEL were compared in 2006 and 2016 (≥18 years). Active commuting to work, sex, age group, education and job characteristics were collected by telephone survey and transportation in the cities of Florianópolis, Curitiba and Porto Alegre, using absolute and relative frequencies with their respective 95% confidence intervals. Active commuting increased significantly in 2016 compared to 2006. Florianópolis had the highest prevalence in the two years analyzed. In all capitals, there was a significant increase in the prevalence of the outcome, mainly for women, with secondary education and only in Florianópolis for men, with low schooling. The prevalence has also increased for job characteristics in all capitals. Active commuting to work increased significantly among adults living in southern Brazil, with emphasis on Florianópolis. Expanding interventions in this context is a necessity in Brazil.
Estratégia de linkagem e vulnerabilidades nas barreiras ao tratamento de HIV/Aids para homens que fazem sexo com homens
Authors: Pereira Carla Rocha , Cruz Marly Marques da , Cota Vanda Lúcia , Almeida Bernardo Montesanti Machado de
Published: April 2022

Resumo Este estudo tem por objetivo analisar a vinculação ao tratamento de HIV/Aids de Homens que fazem Sexo com Homens (HSH) no Projeto A Hora é Agora, na cidade de Curitiba, Paraná. O conceito de vulnerabilidade com seus três eixos: individual, social e programático foi considerado o marco teórico. Realizou-se levantamento das barreiras enfrentadas pelos sujeitos da testagem até o início do tratamento, por meio de registro da linkagem e atas das reuniões de supervisão. Os dados revelaram que, no plano individual, os HSH tiveram dificuldade em aceitar o diagnóstico de HIV, além de problemas psicológicos que podem ter acarretado na demora de início do tratamento. No eixo social, o estigma/discriminação foi identificado no atendimento nas Unidades Básicas de Saúde e na família, protelando a revelação da sorologia. Por fim, no eixo programático, os HSH encontraram entraves no acesso aos serviços de saúde em função: dos pedidos para repetirem o teste de HIV; mudança de médico pelo mau atendimento; e obstáculos na realização de outros exames, refletindo negativamente no cuidado da saúde. Para a superação dessas barreiras recomenda-se uma atuação não apenas macroestrutural frente a esse grupo, mas um investimento na micropolítica, possibilitando uma mudança real de atitude, cuidado contínuo e postura frente a abordagem do cuidador e a defesa da vida.
Psychometric Properties of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) in Brazilian Samples
Authors: Oliveira Sérgio Eduardo Silva de , Bandeira Denise Ruschel , Primi Ricardo , Krueger Robert Frank
Published: April 2022

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 (PID-5) in Brazilian community and clinical samples. This research included 1,210 people, 554 of them with psychopathology indicators. The participants answered the PID-5 and the Self-Reporting Questionnaire, in addition to a sociodemographic and health data questionnaire that included the six items of the suicidality module of the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. The results showed that the 25 facets of the PID-5 had adequate reliability coefficients and evidence of unidimensionality. The instrument’s five-factor structure was replicated with high levels of congruence with the representative sample from North America. PID-5 scores were statistically different between clinical and community groups and were positively correlated with measures of suicide risk and psychopathological symptoms. This study presents the psychometric properties of PID-5 and its suitability for use in the Brazilian population.

ABSTRACT This retrospective study was based on data extracted from medical records of 48 horses with intestinal obstruction caused by enteroliths and/or foreign bodies seen over the course of 17 years. Data analysis was aimed at describing the major features of this type of colic. Obstructions caused by enteroliths, foreign bodies or both accounted for 40 (83.34%), 6 (12.50%) and 2 (4.16%) cases in this sample respectively. Affected horses were aged 1 to 32 years (mean age 9.5 years) and 14 horses were fed alfalfa. Alfalfa is thought to contribute to enterolith formation. Foreign bodies and enteroliths were found in the transverse (12 cases, 25%), the large or the small colon (10 cases, 20.83% respectively). Concurrent obstruction of different intestinal segments was also recorded. These involved the small and the large colon in 10 cases (20.83%), the transverse and the large colon in 4 cases (8.33%), the small and the transverse colon in 1 case (2.08%) and the transition from the large to the transverse colon in one case (2.08%). Short term survival was 77.08% overall and 87.50% when only patients submitted to postoperative treatment were accounted for. Survival data are consistent with survival rates of 91% reported in literature.
Determination of risk factors in cattle and small ruminant livestock enterprises from the perspective of animal life insurance: a case study in Turkey
Authors: Çevrimli M.B. , Mat B. , Tekindal M.A. , Günlü A.
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to determine the risk factors in the production processes of cattle and small ruminant breeding enterprises, along with developing a scale that could be used during the insured breeding process in different regions of Turkey. In this study, we obtained information from 252 enterprises from different provinces (Afyonkarahisar, Aksaray, Ankara, Burdur, Karaman, and Konya) of Turkey. Reliability and validity analyses were conducted using the “Risk Assessment Form in Cattle and Small Ruminant Animal Production”. The Cronbach alpha (α) coefficient was used to analyze reliability, while the exploratory factor analysis was applied to analyze the validity. About 68.7% (173) of the enterprises included cattle breeding, while the remaining 31.3% (79) involved small ruminant breeding. To determine the risk factors, twenty-four questions were directed toward the livestock enterprises, and the following six factors were determined: Economic-Political Risks, Yield/Product Losses, Enterprise Technical Risks, Credit/Financing, Workforce, Enterprise Follow-up, and Registration. In the politico-economic risk scoring, the score of enterprises already having Animal life insurance (ALI) was observed to be higher than those who did not have it, with the difference being statistically significant (p<0.05). We interpreted that producers with higher politico-economic risk factor scores preferred insurance. Although the producers could determine the risk factors well, not all producers were necessarily aware of risk measures. Thus, it was necessary to improve the farmers’ perception of risks and support their efforts to manage and reduce these risks. Also, the importance of insurance practices within and out of the farm is predicted to increase gradually to develop more conscious, sustainable, and profitable breeding in agriculture and animal product markets, which are becoming more liberalized day by day.
Las “masacres” y la “cultura” en la producción de memorias entre colectivos pilagá y qom en contextos interculturales
Authors: Greco Lucrecia Raquel , Gustavsson Anne
Published: April 2022

Resumen Analizamos los modos en que algunos colectivos indígenas toba o qom y pilagá de Formosa, Argentina, se relacionan con el pasado en el marco de investigaciones participativas enfocadas en la producción de memorias junto con actores no indígenas. Consideramos los modos en que la historia reciente sedimentó en las experiencias y prácticas actuales de los colectivos, e indagamos en situaciones concretas de producción de memorias identificando nociones claves y tensiones en la elaboración de historicidades. Observamos que tales nociones divergen entre ambos colectivos. En el caso qom, activar memorias en torno a la “cultura” de antes forma parte de los proyectos y prácticas cotidianos de algunas y algunos actores con los cuales trabajamos. Mientras que para nuestras y nuestros interlocutoras/es pilagá el trabajo de memoria sobre el pasado indígena prioriza la reflexión e indagación sobre episodios de violencia que sufrieron ellos.
Relationship between emotional intelligence, congruence, and intrinsic job satisfaction
Authors: Batista Jonatan S. , Gondim Sônia M. G. , Magalhães Mauro O.
Published: April 2022

Abstract Purpose: The purpose of the study was to explore the association between emotional intelligence, person-environment congruence and intrinsic job satisfaction in two professional groups, the first focusing on interpersonal relationships and the second, on data, things, and ideas. Originality/value: The study presents the association between congruence, emotional intelligence and intrinsic satisfaction at work and tests the model in which congruence moderates the association between emotional intelligence and intrinsic satisfaction in two professional groups. Design/methodology/approach: Survey-type study in which 486 workers participated in two groups of professionals using the realistic, investigative, artistic, social, enterprising and conventional (RIASEC) model. Participants responded to questionnaires of professional interest and occupational environments necessary to measure congruence, and, then, emotional intelligence and intrinsic satisfaction. Findings: Positive associations were identified between emotional intelligence, person-environment congruence, and intrinsic job satisfaction, with higher associations in the group with high interpersonal demands, highlighting the relevance of emotional skills in this professional segment. However, it was found that the congruence does not moderate the association between emotional intelligence and intrinsic satisfaction in either group, emphasizing that the person-environment fit and emotional skills can contribute independently to explain worker satisfaction with the activities developed in the organization.

Published: April 2022

Resumo Objetivo: Em contextos organizacionais masculinos e extremamente competitivos, mulheres que ascendem na carreira apresentam comportamentos que embarreiram, mais que ajudam, outras mulheres a se desenvolver profissionalmente. Esse fenômeno é denominado abelha-rainha. Este artigo tem como objetivo identificar se o fenômeno queen bee está presente nas instituições de ensino superior (IES) do Brasil. Originalidade/valor: Ainda que o fenômeno abelha-rainha como metáfora de desigualdade de gênero não seja tema recente na literatura científica, sua análise em IES brasileiras revela o caráter original do estudo. Design/metodologia/abordagem: Trata de estudo quantitativo com amostra de 495 mulheres que atuam na academia. As análises estatísticas e verificações das hipóteses foram realizadas a partir do teste MANOVA. Resultados: Os resultados apontam que o domínio do conhecimento impacta mais o fenômeno queen bee que as variáveis do contexto organizacional. Além disso, mulheres em cargos de liderança são mais engajadas no trabalho, apresentam mais traços masculinos, identificam-se mais com mulheres do topo da hierarquia, negam mais a discriminação de gênero e aderem mais ao discurso meritocrático que aquelas que não estão em cargos de chefia, confirmando que mulheres que ocupam cargos de liderança em IES brasileiras aderem a traços de queen bee.

Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT Objective This study aims to evaluate the behaviors and attitudes of mothers with 0-24-month-old babies towards infant feeding, depending on their sociodemographic characteristics. Methods This is a cross-sectional study, which was carried out with 300 mothers. Demographic characteristics of the mothers, breastfeeding and complementary feeding practices, and the Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale were collected. As for the statistical evaluation, Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 22 statistical package program was used. For the statistical analysis; percentages, mean values, Independent T-Test, One-Way ANOVA, Chi-Square test, and multinomial regression models analysis were used. Results 79.7% of the mothers gave human milk to their infants as the first food after delivery, 36.9% gave only human milk for the first 6 months, 52.0% started complementary feeding at 4-6 months. Of the mothers with a mean The Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale score of 64.38±8.43, 54.0% were positive towards breastfeeding. A significant relationship was found between education and income levels and Iowa Infant Feeding Attitude Scale scores level of the mothers, respectively (χ2=10.001, χ2=10.421, p<0.05). The mothers with a postgraduate degree as educational status (AOR=1.27, 95%CI:1.06-1.53) and mothers who had more income than expenditures (AOR=1.19, 95%CI:1.03-1.63) were associated with a higher positive towards of breastfeeding. Conclusion Although most of the mothers say that they have a positive attitude towards breastfeeding, the rate of those who only breastfeed for the first 6 months is low. As the education and income level of mothers increase, their positive attitude towards breastfeeding increases. Mothers should be informed to initiate and maintain successful breastfeeding.

Foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa em três empreendimentos econômicos solidários localizados no Estado do Ceará: associação de catadores de materiais recicláveis, cooperativa de costureiras e cooperativa de produtores de castanha-de-caju, por meio de entrevistas com 24 associados. Os resultados mostraram que os grupos foram auxiliados externamente no início dos empreendimentos. A trajetória laboral dos associados apresentou, de maneira geral, aspectos semelhantes, como a precarização do trabalho, informalidade e escassez de alternativas laborais. Pode-se concluir que os empreendimentos representam uma forma de inserção social por constituírem-se em espaços de oferecimento de trabalho e renda para pessoas que, por questões históricas, geográficas, sociais e/ou culturais, encontravam-se afastadas do mercado formal.
A ECONOMIA POLÍTICA DA INDÚSTRIA DE SEMICONDUTORES E O RECENTE DESENVOLVIMENTO LIMITADO DA REPÚBLICA POPULAR DA CHINA (2014-2021)

RESUMO Desde o ingresso da China na Organização Mundial do Comércio (OMC) em 2001, a importação de componentes de semicondutores cresceu de forma acelerada com o intuito de abastecer a demanda doméstica e das indústrias de processamento de exportações das transnacionais estrangeiras estabelecidas na China. Assim, tornou-se o produto mais importado pelo país a partir de meados de 2010. Desde 2014, o governo central chinês tem executado inúmeras políticas de fomento e desenvolvimento da indústria doméstica de semicondutores, com o intuito de alcançar o catch-up nessa indústria e diminuir a dependência em relação a importação da tecnologia estrangeira. Apesar dos esforços de Pequim, a indústria apresentou poucos progressos desde 2014. O objetivo do artigo é analisar quais foram as razões que levaram ao limitado catch-up da China. Conclui-se que a fragilidade estrutural da indústria de semicondutores chinesa, a dinâmica de mercado volátil e, especialmente, as questões geopolíticas internacionais foram fatores de impacto negativo sobre o recente desenvolvimento limitado da indústria chinesa.

Resumo Parece existir um consenso entre os educadores de que o diálogo é fundamental nas práticas pedagógicas. Entretanto, a realidade das salas de aula tende a ser distinta. Para a Psicologia Cultural, monologismo e heteronomia precisam ser substituídos por práticas dialógicas. Neste artigo buscamos analisar este tópico com base nessa perspectiva teórica e nos princípios da psicologia dialógica, ilustrando nossa análise com dados de pesquisa referentes a uma atividade desenvolvida em uma escola pública, cujo propósito seria promover a desconstrução de preconceitos. Foi possível identificar que, apesar dos objetivos estabelecidos pelos professores – discussão de um curta metragem –, esses conduziram a atividade adotando uma prática monológica, mesmo afirmando valorizar uma atitude dialógica como prática pedagógica. Buscamos discutir teoricamente a razão pela qual isto tende a ocorrer, e contribuir para que os educadores sejam melhor orientados para promover a escuta, discussão e reflexão com os alunos sobre preconceitos, visando a sua desconstrução.

Abstract Family functionality has shown its relevance in the comprehensive development of adolescents, with school connectivity being a very important aspect. To determine the association between family functioning and school connectivity in Mexican high school adolescents, an analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in a census of 396 adolescents in a public high school in Mexico. The self-report of family functioning and the school connectedness scale were used, both with α > 0.84. ꭕ2 and ANOVA were applied. The results show significant differences in conflict with shift (morning ꭕ2 = 42.47 vs. evening ꭕ2 = 40.35, F = 4.57, p = 0.033), and leadership with degree (1st ꭕ2 = 8.14, 2nd ꭕ2 = 8.97, 3rd ꭕ2 = 8.90, F = 3.52, p = 0.030). Connectivity associated with school variables (p < 0.05). There are no differences or association between sex, age or qualifications with connectivity. Family functioning was associated in affective expression with school (ꭕ2 = 3.77, p = 0.055) and in leadership with students (ꭕ2 = 2.92, p = 0.05). It is concluded that the leadership of the parents and the affective expression of the family favors school connectivity between students and with their school.
People’s social value depends on their sexual orientation and gender identity

Abstract The present study aimed to investigate discrimination against transsexuals. A experimental study was carried out that consisted in the presentation of a fictitious news about photos of a person that were leaked according to the victim’s gender assigned at birth (male vs. female), their sexual orientation and gender identity (heterosexual vs. homosexual vs. transsexual), resulting in six experimental conditions. The measure of discrimination used was the allocation of the indemnification amount. The study included 300 cisgender heterosexual participants of both genders, randomly allocated in one of the six experimental conditions. The results enhanced the evidence that people tend to value their own group and discriminate against transsexual people. Variations were found regarding the target gender and the discriminator’s gender. The findings were discussed based on the Social Identity Theory and the threat to distinctiveness.
Imagining, creating, building together: school psychologist practices in times of pandemic

Abstract This article is intended to spur reflections on school psychologist’s remote practices and its impacts on the strengthening of collectives in the commitment for the transformation of educational frameworks during the pandemic period caused by the new coronavirus (COVID-19). The propositions of Lev Vygotsky and other scholars from the Cultural-Historical Theory set the theoretical-methodological grounds for the discussions and analysis presented. The data derived from two online interventions – one in Basic Education and another in Higher Education – developed by the authors of this paper during the period of social isolation caused by the pandemic. In both contexts, and as the guiding axis of our discussions, art was used as a mediating tool, a cultural instrument that through aesthetic experience promotes the creation of new meanings and senses of oneself, of others and the world. The importance of the school psychologist to recognize him/herself as a professional whose main role is to invest in the construction, maintenance, and transformation of the bonds established among the different actors inserted in educational contexts was emphasized.

ABSTRACT Dropping out of Higher Education is an international concern with an impact on Higher Education Institutions, in general, and on individual career paths, in particular. In order to prevent this phenomenon and support both institutions and students in their decision-making, it is urgent to identify evasion factors in higher education. A review made in published articles in international scientific journals between January 2014 and December 2018 is presented, based on the Longitudinal Institutional Evasion Model. The search was carried out in four databases, with combinations of the keywords dropout, departure, academic adjustment, college adjustment, academic integration, social integration, and higher education. Twenty-four articles that met the inclusion criteria were fully read. The articles were described and the content was systematized in meta-synthesis. Factors related to attributes prior to entering higher education were identified; objectives and commitments prior and subsequent to this entry; institutional experiences; academic and social integration. Evasion signaling measures were also identified. Implications for research, services and policies of Higher Education Institutions are discussed.

ABSTRACT Watermelon is traditionally grown under direct sowing system. However, due to high costs of good quality seeds of improved cultivars, seedling transplanting is a promising alternative for watermelon production. This study aimed at evaluating, during two production cycles, the performance of watermelon under direct sowing cultivation system and seedling transplanting. The field trials were carried out from May to September, 2015 and 2016, at Setor de Horticultura da Escola de Agronomia of Universidade Federal de Goiás. In 2015, the experimental design was randomized blocks (DBC) with four replicates in a 2x4 factorial scheme (two hybrids: Manchester and Talisman, and two planting methods: direct sowing and transplanting 15-, 20- and 25-day old seedlings). In 2016, the experimental design was DBC with six replicates. The treatments consisted of three direct sowing dates (0, 5 and 10 days) and three different seedling ages (15, 20 and 25 days). Number of leaves, plant height and dry mass of seedlings of different ages, vine length and virus incidence along the crop cycle were evaluated. Upon significant F-test (5%) for seedling age, regression analysis was performed, and when cultivar effect was significant, Tukey test (5%) was used. Planting methods (direct sowing X seedlings) were compared by orthogonal contrasts. In 2016, the beginning of flowering was evaluated, and in both trials, the average crop cycle for each treatment was determined. Fruit length and width, fruit mass, thickness of the white part of the rind, and soluble solids content were evaluated at harvesting. The 25-day old seedlings had higher number of leaves, as well as, higher dry mass, comparing with seedlings on the transplanting day. Yield and fruit quality were not influenced by treatments. No significant differences for virus disease incidence were detected, in both production cycles. Direct sowing reduced the crop cycle in both field trials, with no differences in production and quality of fruits. Considering the costs of establishing watermelon fields as relevant, the results suggest the importance of direct sowing as the most viable method for watermelon cultivation, due to the ease of the process, as well as, reduction in costs related to seedling production and transplanting operations.
