Authors: Fonseca Cláudia Chaves , De Souza Jean Alves
Published: June 2020

A interface entre a comunicação e a saúde é construída coletivamente, envolvendo uma miríade de interlocutores em contextos sociais determinados, com o objetivo fial de tornar efetivos os direitos à comunicação e à saúde, previstos na Constituição Federal de 1988. Para promover este encontro, bem como capacitar profisionais de ambas as áreas, a Escola de Saúde Pública de Minas Gerais (ESP-MG) oferece o curso de Pós-graduação em Comunicação e Saúde, no qual a disciplina Teorias da Comunicação tem destaque, uma vez que é primordial conhecer os fundamentos da comunicação humana e a dinâmica da Comunicação Social, com ênfase no campo teórico-prático conhecido como Comunicação e Saúde (CeS). Este artigo relata a experiência do curso a partir da disciplina Teorias da Comunicação, de modo a situá-la como conhecimento essencial não somente para os comunicadores, mas também para os profisionais de saúde.
Racismo, eugenia e doença falciforme: o caso de um programa de triagem populacional
Authors: Silva Gabriela Dos Santos , Mota Clarice Santos , Alves Bomfim Trad Leny
Published: June 2020

O objetivo deste artigo é problematizar a relação entre eugenia e racismo associada às doenças genéticas, especifiamente à doença falciforme, tendo como referência o caso do Programa de Triagem Populacional (PTP), cuja implantação em Salvador, Bahia, não se concretizou devido às mobilizações sociais. Realizou-se uma pesquisa qualitativa, ancorada na perspectiva feminista e antirracista, que aliou a análise documental da proposta do programa e entrevistas em profundidade com mulheres negras com doença falciforme acerca da percepção sobre o conteúdo do programa. A análise do documento evidenciou conteúdos racistas e eugenistas, relacionados com um discurso de cerceamento do direito reprodutivo de mulheres com este agravo. Entre as mulheres negras entrevistadas, prevaleceu o sentimento de indignação frente à interdição de seu direito reprodutivo. Há necessidade de destituir práticas institucionais que se forjam sob o crivo do racismo institucional e produzem violências sobre os corpos negros.
A presença de oscilações no enquadramento midiático e de interpretações fragmentadas na cobertura do consumo de crack
Authors: Ferreira Fernanda Vasques , Moura Dione Oliveira
Published: June 2020

O estudo que fundamenta este artigo parte das premissas de que o Jornal Nacional da Rede Globo é um jornal de referência e de grande audiência, e de que a imprensa, ao enfocar determinado assunto, e apresentar um enquadramento específio para tal tema – no caso, o consumo do crack e as consequências sociais desse consumo – inflencia, de certa forma, a percepção pública sobre o tema. Quais são os enquadramentos midiáticos dados ao consumo do crack e às implicações sociais da droga na cobertura televisiva feita pelo Jornal Nacional, da Rede Globo? O objetivo é compreender os enquadramentos fornecidos pelo telejornal acerca do consumo do crack, a partir da análise sobre o modo como esse noticiário organiza o conteúdo informativo. Foi aplicada a análise de conteúdo nas reportagens veiculadas no JN no período de 2012 a 2017 e nas entrevistas realizadas com os repórteres responsáveis pela cobertura. Identifiamos que o telejornal enquadrou o consumo do crack e as implicações sociais decorrentes do uso da droga como um problema de saúde pública e como um problema social crônico (em menor medida), por um lado; e, por outro, como um problema de segurança pública, em maior medida. A maneira como esse telejornal organiza e dá sentido à questão pode, potencialmente, inflir na formulação de políticas públicas, assim como na maneira como a sociedade interpreta o assunto e dá signifiado ao quadro social do fenômeno do consumo do crack.
A contribuição do princípio da precaução para a epistemologia do Jornalismo Ambiental
Authors: Girardi Ilza Maria Tourinho , Loose Eloisa Beling , Steigleder Débora Gallas , Belmonte Roberto Villar , Massierer Carine
Published: June 2020

Neste artigo apresentamos os resultados preliminares de um projeto de pesquisa mais amplo sobre as epistemologias do jornalismo ambiental. O objetivo principal é verifiar a origem e sustentação de aspectos epistemológicos do jornalismo dedicado ao meio ambiente. Apresentamos a proposta que impulsionou este estudo e, de forma específia, a análise realizada sobre um dos pressupostos pouco incorporados na cobertura de meio ambiente no Brasil até agora, que é a ideia da precaução. A análise é orientada por pesquisa bibliográfia com abordagem descritiva-qualitativa. Como resultado, constatamos que a literatura sobre jornalismo ambiental trata pouco da antecipação de riscos e danos, mesmo com o avanço da ciência em termos de previsões. Concluímos que a adoção do princípio da precaução se faz necessária em uma sociedade permeada por riscos fabricados pela própria humanidade.

O artigo se concentra na linha narrativa da salvação da cidade em relação à sustentabilidade, por meio dos megaeventos ou, nos termos do documentário, de uma volta à natureza, evocando mudanças necessárias para a construção de um novo país, a partir de uma transformação que pode ser trazida por políticos, pelo milagre das Olimpíadas e pela população em geral.
Saúde e política na crise da Covid-19: apontamentos sobre a pandemia na imprensa brasileira
Authors: Ferraz Luiz Marcelo Robalinho
Published: June 2020

Nunca a saúde e a política pareceram estar tão relacionadas como nesta pandemia da Covid-19. Tomando como exemplo o noticiário do jornal Folha de S.Paulo entre janeiro e maio de 2020, analisamos as características que singularizam a cobertura da imprensa brasileira sobre essa síndrome respiratória recémdescoberta. O avanço da doença e o anúncio da pandemia pela Organização Mundial de Saúde levaram a uma superexposição do assunto nos meios de comunicação, chegando a um limite na produção jornalística, de março até a primeira quinzena de abril. Isso ocorreu antes de se verifiar o aumento na curva de casos. Depois, a crise política deflgrada com a pandemia provocou uma redução gradativa das publicações, até o fim de maio, contrapondo-se à subida de casos, em um período de agravamento da doença.

Biochemical Effects of Routine Gonadectomy on Blood of Domestic Ferrets (Mustela putorius furo)
Authors: Whitehead Michelle C , Petritz Olivia A , Doerr Mary , Stoskopf Michael K , Harrison Tara M
Published: June 2020

We studied domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) to evaluate the physiologic effects of routine surgery. Standard plasma biochemistry panels and 1H-NMR spectroscopy of heparinized whole blood were performed on samples taken 24 h prior to and immediately after surgery
from female and male ferrets undergoing routine gonadectomy. Increases in plasma glucose, phosphorus, potassium, and creatine kinase concentrations associated with the duration of surgery were identified on plasma biochemistry panels. Whole-blood NMR spectra allowed us to identify 42 metabolites
and one drug residue. Variations between pre- and postoperative metabolite concentrations were most pronounced for female ferrets, which underwent more prolonged surgery than males. Affected metabolites included organic acids and osmolytes (betaine, methylmalonate, D-lactate),
fatty acids and lipids (2-hydroxy-3-methylbutyric acid), and amino acid groups (acetylglycine, alloisoleucine, leucine, and isoleucine). These findings indicate that 1H-NMR spectroscopy of whole blood provides insight into metabolic perturbations in domestic ferrets undergoing surgery
that are not detected in routine clinical chemistry panels.
Madariaga Virus
Authors: Sizikova T. E. , Lebedev V. N. , Borisevich S. V.
Published: June 2020

The area affected by the disease caused by Madariaga virus has been expanding recently. Given the geographic location of the endemic regions that overlap with tourist destinations, as well as the confirmed possibility of importing the disease, we cannot rule out the risk of appearance of this disease in Russia. The aim of the study was to analyse the properties of Madariaga virus (Alphavirus genus, eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus complex) and some epidemiological and epizootological characteristics of the virus-associated disease which manifests itself in diffuse inflammation of brain and spinal cord. Based on both ecological and molecular genetic characteristics of Madariaga virus, it is classified as an individual virus which is part of the eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus complex. There is evidence that this pathogen can cause epizootic outbreaks in horses, infect other types of mammals (rats, bats), as well as, potentially, birds and reptiles. The reservoir of infection is the short-tailed cane mouse (Zygodontomys brevicauda). Human cases have also been described, and the potential route of infection was identified as transmission via mosquito bites. Vectors of pathogen transmission are mosquitoes of the Culex, Aedes, and Psorophora genera. Serological studies carried out in Panama revealed the presence of antibodies to Madariaga virus in 2–5% of the examined patients, which indicates the existence of asymptomatic infection along with clinically apparent infection. Phylogenetic analysis of strains isolated from infected people showed that the strains belong to lineage III of the eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus subtype common in Central and South America. The paper summarises the results of assessment of potential risk factors of Madariaga virus infection in endemic regions that was performed using the Akaike information criterion. Risk groups in endemic regions are represented by farm workers and fishermen. The results of the studies show that the area affected by the disease is expanding, and the strains that belong to genetic lineage III of the eastern equine encephalomyelitis virus pose the greatest epidemic risk.
Current Trends in the Use of Cell Therapy in Regenerative Medicine
Authors: Chaplenko A. A. , Khorolsky M. D. , Melnikova E. V. , Merkulov V. A.
Published: June 2020

Cell therapy is a key tool of regenerative medicine, but until the beginning of the last decade, products based on viable human cells were used primarily to repair damaged tissues and organs. Currently, the field of application of biomedical cell products has expanded significantly, but researchers still show considerable interest in the use of human cells in regenerative medicine. The stage of development of cell products varies significantly depending on the type of tissue and pathology, and ranges from preclinical and pilot clinical trials to authorised drugs with a long history of use. On the one hand, this may be attributed to methodological differences in the production and use of cell products, and on the other, to specific aspects of differentiation of cell types used in regenerative medicine, primarily mesenchymal stem cells. The aim of this study was to analyse current trends in the use of cell therapy in regenerative medicine and prospects for using available technologies. The paper summarises the main achievements in the use of cell therapy for regeneration of skin, bone and cartilage, nervous and cardiovascular systems. The key mechanisms of cell therapy effect are determined, on the one hand, by the differentiation potential of multipotent cells, and on the other, by the complex (immunomodulating, angiogenic, proliferative) action of the proteome expressed by the administered cells. The paper describes viable cell-based products currently authorised for each indication, and analyses the level of their clinical use. It might be promising to use directed cell differentiation technologies, as well as induced pluripotent cells in regenerative medicine.

Faculty Perception toward Online Education in a State College in the Philippines during the Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) Pandemic
Authors: Moralista Rome B. , Oducado Ryan Michael Flores
Published: June 2020

This research determined the perception toward online education among faculty in a State College in the Philippines. This study used a descriptive online survey involving a sample of 27 faculty members. Statistical tools employed were descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test. Research findings indicated that the majority of faculty had intermediate computer competency and had no training in online teaching with only a few having a very stable internet connection. Faculty considered that online education will result to more academic dishonesty, will be impersonal and lack feeling compared to face-to-face classes, and will be difficult to manage in terms of technology. Additionally, faculty were undecided if they are in favor of online education. The faculty significantly differed whether they are in favor of online education based on age, sex, college, educational attainment, years in teaching, academic rank, level taught and employment status. Faculty of Higher Education Institutions must be provided with continued support and training as they adapt into the new normal in the higher education landscape and as they embrace the instructional challenges brought by the Coronavirus disease 19 pandemic.
Explanations for the Pursuit of Exercise
Authors: Xu Clark
Published: June 2020

If the opponent-process theory remains the best explanation for the pursuit of exercise, then practicing exercise routines is crucial to developing an active lifestyle. An individual seeking to make the transition from a sedentary to an active lifestyle should keep in mind that the emotional benefits of exercise will increase over time. Once established, exercise routines are self-perpetuating, as long as the individual follows the same routine. A different routine, however, will eliminate the relief stimuli and reset the opponent process, threatening recently active individuals with the risk of relapse.
Pollen Grains Morphology of Angiosperms
Authors: Mallick Pushpa Karna
Published: June 2020

Pollen morphology of fourteen species of angiosperms from Kathmandu valley was investigated using aceto-carmine and palynological characters such as pollen size, shape, aperture numbers and exine sculpture were evaluated. The results indicate that various types of pollen grains are in angiosperms. In this investigation Pollen grains of Linum usitatissimum L. from the family Linaceae, Lathyrus odoratus L. from Fabaceae, Magnolia grandiflora L. from Magnoliaceae, Malva alcea L. and Malva sida L. from Malvaceae, Murraya koenigii Spreng from Rutaceae, Nerium oleander L. from Apocynaceae studied. Likewise, Ocimum tenuiflorum L., Salvia coccinea Buchz ex Etl. Salvia splendens Sellow ex J.A. Schultes from Lamiaceae, Oenothera rosea L. from Onagraceae, Prunus persica (L.) Batsch. from Rosaceae, Solanum nigrum L. from Solanaceae and Zinnia elegans L. from Asteraceae were studied in this investigation. Shape of the pollen grains found to be spheroidal, sub-spheroidal, elongate, oval, circular, ellipsoidal and triangular type. Ornamentation of exine wall found to be echinate, smooth, coarse, wrinkle and tected type. Aperture of the pollen grains found to be triporate to periporate. Sizes of the pollen grains encountered in this study were large, medium and small. The high diversity of exine ornamentation type in pollen grains of angiosperms has been associated to diversity in pollination systems. Echinate pollen grains train the bees to restrict to nectar collection and help the flowers to save more pollen grains for pollination. Smooth walled pollen grains are linked with wind or water pollination.

The Relevance of Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Local Governance toward Environmental Management for Sustainable Development: A Case of Bulawayo City Council, Zimbabwe
Authors: Hari Chiedza Angela
Published: June 2020

Background: Inspired by Bertalanffy (1954)’s Systems Theory, this study sought to establish the relevance of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in local governance. Regardless of the overwhelming research on IKS, less attention has been put on its relevance to m.odern service delivery and seems to have lost its impact in influencing decision making. It was at the centre of this study,, therefore, to establish the relevance of IKS in local governance and establish the interconnectedness among local governance, IKS and environmental management for sustainable development. Predominantly, it focused on how IKS can be utilised as an integral system that contributes to the effective management of natural environment in urban cities, precisely Bulawayo

Objective: The study strived towards contributing to the localisation of the Sustainable Development Goals within the Zimbabwean context in the best interest of the furtherance of sustainable cities for development with IKS at the centre of it all.

Methods: Informed by the ontological interpretivist approach, this study adopted mixed methods of collecting data from 90 randomly selected residents of Bulawayo, three  Environmental Management Agency officers and three Bulawayo City Council employees.

Findings: One of the major findings was that IKS is silent in urban areas compared to the rural because of (although not limited to) a) lack of historical and sacred sites, b) ignorance of theexistence of IKS and c) adoption of technology. Referring to how IKS has been effectively utilised in the rural set up, this paper strongly believed that IKS as a system has an important role to play in this development discourse.

Conclusions and Recommendations: Research should focus on the applicability of IKS in urban set up especial on its applicability to other environmental management aspects such as pollution and waste management.

Implications: There must also be adequate transmission of information using proper channels for affirmation of IKS especially to the young generation and stakeholders should work together for sustainable management of the environment.
Money Supply-Economic Growth Nexus: Evidence from a Landlocked Country
Authors: Mahara Tilak Singh
Published: June 2020

Background: There is special role of money in the economy due to its astonishing importance as change in the amount of it can have a significant effect on the major macroeconomic variables. Money supply is generally considered as policy-determined phenomenon. Like in all the nations, macroeconomic stability of Nepal also depends on the variation in the quantity of money.

Objective: The principle objective of the study is to examine the impact of money supply on the economic growth of Nepal.

Methodology: This study applies the ARDL approach to cointegration. Bounds test (F-version) has been carried out to determine the existence of long-run relationship between variables.

Results: The empirical results pointed out that there is positive and significant long-term relationship between money supply and real economic growth in Nepal. Causality result reveals that there is unidirectional causality from money supply (M2) to Real GDP. The error correction term is found negative and statistically significant suggesting a correction of short-run disequilibrium within two and a half years.

Conclusions: The study concludes that increase in the money supply helps to increase the real economic growth in Nepal. So, money supply and real GDP are associated in the long-run. 

Implications: The implication of the study is that, real economic growth in Nepal can be achieved if Nepal Rastra Bank emphasized on monetary policy instruments which help to increase the flow of money supply both in the short and long run.

Research and Development of the Project of a Process Information System for Supply Chain Management on the Example of Warehouse Logistics
Authors: Gusev Sergei Sergeevich
Published: June 2020

The article is devoted to research and development of a project for a process information system for supply chain management (SCM) (based on the example of warehouse logistics of JSC Kaluga Remputmash plant). The process of taking inventory on charge to the warehouse was selected for detailed consideration. The characteristics of the enterprise, its mission, strategic goals are described, and the architectural and process model of the enterprise is constructed. During a pre-project survey, an architectural and process model of the system for taking inventory on charge to the warehouse (“AS-IS”) was formed. The developed solutions include three aspects: practical significance, scientific and technical novelty, and commercial feasibility. Practical significance means that this system will allow the company to reduce warehouse costs, reduce the time for taking inventory on charge, for drafting and processing documents, and improve the reliability of information. Scientific and technical novelty reflects the identified problems in the process of taking inventory on charge to the warehouse and solutions to eliminate these problems. Commercial feasibility consists in the estimated effectiveness of the proposed solution.
Dupuytren’s Disease in a Young Man of Sudanese Origin
Authors: Blackburn Julia , Arrowsmith Jill , Blackburn Julia
Published: June 2020

Background: Dupuytren’s disease (DD) may be more common in patients of African descent than
previously thought.
Case Presentation: A 27-years-old gentleman of Sudanese origin presented with a 3-months history of a
painful swelling in his right palm. An MRI scan showed no signs of malignancy, and an excision biopsy
showed no signs of infection, including tuberculosis. Histology showed superficial fibromatosis or
Dupuytren’s disease.
Conclusion: Our patient is very young to have developed DD, but studies of patients of African descent
have not considered recurrence rate. It would be useful to investigate if the risk factors for recurrence are
the same as those in patients of European descent, to be able to counsel them appropriately for surgery.
Furthermore, there are no studies of the genetic variation underlying DD in an African population, to see if
the genetic predisposing factors are the same as those identified in patients of European descent.

Authors: Леся Смирна
Published: June 2020

The ontological continuity, parallelism and counterpoint of conformism and nonconformism in the cultural and artistic process are revealed. It has been proven that nonconformist artists were not only the ones who openly professed nonconformism. Besides strong and direct opposition to the ideological doctrine, there also existed a gentle nonconformism, which perceived the world from the point of view of a common sense. The concept of“nonconformism” may incorporate behavioral, ideological phenomena of different temporal dimensions.

Rich symbolism is a very important, unique feature ofChinese culture. In China everything issymbolic—cardinal direction, the layout of the Palace, a picture, a vase, a flower. Special meaning is concealed in a manner of depicting clouds, trees, mountains, water, plants. The symbolism of the ornamentation is closely linked with the person’s worldview, beliefs about the structure of the Universe, the relationship of the Universe and a man, about the world around us, nature. The Chinese “friendly” ornament is complex and multifaceted; without knowing it, it is impossible to understand the culture of China. The ability to turn simple utilitarian objects into the works of art always was a feature of Chinese culture. All that was part of everyday life also was used as the space for intensely symbolic art. The aim of this article is to study the symbolism of the decor of the Chinese Coromandel lacquer screen of the Ming dynasty from the collections of Municipal O. Bleschunov Museum of Private Collections in Odesa. After analyzing its plot and deciphering the symbolism of the images, the peculiarity of ideology of the Far Eastern region was revealed; its symbolism being reflected in cosmological, philosophical, and aesthetic views. The meanings of the symbols allowed attributing the plot of the screen—congratulating the Empress with the birth of an heir to the throne, most likely, the firstborn. The births of the other sons were joyful events, yet they played the roles of successors or assistants for their older brother.

Ancient Egyptian and antique visions in the art of the Ukrainian artist of Polish origin Wilhelm Kotarbinski during the late 19th – the early 20th century were reviewed in this paper. The example of the aforementioned subjects was used to outline the essence ofstylistic transformations of the artist’s works in the period of the spreading of artistic trends related to salon academism, decadence, and symbolism. It has been stated that the classical works “a la antique” and the elements of ancient Egyptian art of Hellenistic period, included into the treasury of world art during the Empire period, formed the basis of the artistic language of the historicism era when they were re-experienced and rethought by the artists who got the academic education by specialty. The same well-studied primary elements became the art material through which the artists “lived through” the latest philosophical and aesthetic impressions and put new layers of meanings into them.
World Literature in Reflections of Contemporary Ukrainian Composer Ludmila Yurina
Authors: Олена Берегова
Published: June 2020

For the first time in Ukrainian musicology L. Yurina’s compositions of different periods were analyzed: Ran-nan for 19 strings (1993), As soon as possible for oboe solo (1997), Funny Death onA. Ginsberg’stext for 8 voices (1998), Herzstuck on the text byH. Müller (2006) and mono opera Lady Lazarus (2013–2016) for soprano, piano and electronics, influenced by S. Plath, J. Joyce and R. Bach. It was found that the vast majority of L. Yurina’s works are programmatic. The figurative content of the poetry and literature that attracts the composer is extremely broad. In the early period of creativity, these were sacred Tibetan texts, later prevailed an interest in modern French (E. Ionesco), American (S. Plath, R. Bach, A. Ginsberg), Irish ( J. Joyce), German (H. Müller) and other poets and writers. The artist is puzzled by the age-old philosophical problems of life and death, love and indifference, painful search for a place in society, and the tragic inability to reconcile with the cruel world. L. Yurina’s musical aesthetics is distinguished by avant-garde searches in different styles and techniques of composition, openness to technological experiments, synthesizing the principles of European and Eastern musical thinking. The composer uses advanced performing techniques for instruments and voices, paying great attention to the spatial qualities of the sound. Her favorite techniques are working with timbre, sonoristics, aleatory, atonality, quasitonality, quasi-seriality. However, technological innovations are not an end in itself for L. Yurina, their use is aimed at adequate realization of the composer’s plan.

Authors: Ірина Рябчун
Published: June 2020

Different approaches to the analysis of Iannis Xenakis’ music have been studied by the example of his work Eonta (1963– 1964) for piano and brass quintet, First Concert for piano and symphonic orchestra Synaphaï (1969) and Second Concert for piano and symphonic orchestra Erikhthon (1974). An alternative method ofstudying Xenakis’ works based on the analysis of the experience of decoding computer programs typical for composer’s works studying has been proposed. An important feature of the investigation is an application of psychological analysis in studies of mythological plots of works, linked with the ancient Greek titles of the works by I. Xenakis along with comparative, phenomenological historical, musical analysis and statement of the computer programs’ use. As the result of alternative method of analysis, for the first time in musicology, new, tragic aspects of I. Xenakis’ personality, reflected in his works, were revealed. The phenomenon identified by M. Heidegger as “throwing into being” is presented in Xenakis’ work, in a form of mythology; the archetype being reflected in the music composition through the dramatic collision of the relationship between the soloist and the orchestra. Established conceptual link between the music of the composer and the philosophy of M. Heidegger gives a new viewpoint on the work of Xenakis
