tempo gnóstico como fator estruturante de A lua vem da Ásia, de Campos de Carvalho
Authors: Ferreira Arthur Barboza
Published: October 2023

O artigo argumenta que o narrador de A lua vem da Ásia, romance de 1956 de Campos de Carvalho, apresenta uma visão de tempo qualificável de gnóstica, sobretudo na primeira das duas partes de seu diário. Levam-se em conta, como ponto de partida, observações de críticos acerca da faceta religiosa da arte romanesca de Campos de Carvalho; em seguida, procura-se abordá-la no romance mencionado. Resulta da presente investigação a constatação de que o tempo gnóstico identificado na narrativa impacta a própria forma de narrar do protagonista, de modo que pode ser pensado como um fator estruturante do romance. O artigo constata ainda que se pode ler fertilmente A lua vem da Ásia à luz do gnosticismo e incentiva novas inquirições sensíveis aos conteúdos qualificáveis de gnósticos presentes na obra. Palavras-chave: A lua vem da Ásia; Campos de Carvalho; gnosticismo.

Authors:   , Clark Nerlie , Patton Rikki , Muruthi James
Published: October 2023

Aims. This study aims to investigate the feedback session within the Listen and Lead Protocol Approach, specifically focusing on the mechanisms that influence parents' receptivity to therapeutic feedback. The MacArthur Story Stem Battery (MSSB) is used during the feedback session to assess a child's perception of themselves, family relationships, and the world. The study aims to explore clinical trends and change mechanisms related to parent receptiveness, including therapist interventions and parent responses. Research Questions. What key change mechanisms contribute to parent receptiveness in the feedback session? 2. How do therapist interventions and parent responses during the feedback session contribute to successful therapeutic outcomes? Methods. The Therapeutic Collaborative Coding System (TCCS) analyzes therapist operations and parent behaviors during the feedback session. The study follows a change event research methodology and conducts a microanalysis of video recordings of clinical sessions. Results. The results show the operationalization of the feedback session into sub-phases and micro-phases, with variations in therapist interventions and parent responses. Promoting collaboration and goal setting with parents was repeated across families, indicating the importance of these behaviors in facilitating positive therapeutic change. Implications. The findings have implications for the intentional and organized structure of the feedback session, highlighting the significance of promoting collaboration and goal setting with the parent. By identifying specific behavioral change mechanisms contributing to positive therapeutic change, this study provides a more profound understanding for clinicians aiming to optimize the feedback session. Conclusion. The study concludes that the structured approach to the feedback session allows for replicability by other clinicians and contributes to filling a research gap in using the MSSB in clinical interventions with families. The findings shed light on the therapeutic processes within the feedback session and guide clinicians to enhance treatment outcomes for families in need of family and mental health services.
Exploring Career Agility through the Lived Experiences of Oncology Nurse Employees in the Pharmaceutical Industry
Authors:   , Edlow Cynthia  L. , Rasmussen Harriette T.
Published: October 2023

Americans support nurses - having ranked nursing professionals number one in honesty and integrity for 22 years in a row. Furthermore, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, citizens applauded nurses and other frontline healthcare providers for saving lives. However, in 2023, nurses are on strike across the United States and Europe, demanding better working conditions, compensation, and patient management caseloads. Over the next three years, approximately 600,000 nurses will leave the profession. Although literature exists on why nurses leave patient care to work in other health-related or health-adjacent industries, it does not reflect why oncology nurses transition from clinical practice to new pharmaceutical (pharma) careers. As the number of oncology nurses joining pharmaceutical companies increases steadily, understanding the factors influencing their decision-making and career choices is paramount. This qualitative, phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of oncology nurses who transitioned into the pharmaceutical industry to understand the influence of the phenomenon of career agility on their career choices and decisions. Through one-on-one, 60-minute, semi-structured interviews, this study explored the following lines of inquiry: 1) Why oncology nurses chose to pursue new careers in the pharmaceutical industry; 2) How the oncology nurses' transition to pharmaceutical companies illustrated career agility; and 3) What characteristics were demonstrated by oncology nurses who left patient care for careers in pharma. Data from 17 in-depth interviews with oncology nurse pharmaceutical employees found that oncology nurses leave clinical practice due to negative workplace culture and burnout and the recruitment efforts of pharma representatives. These nurses were attracted to and remained in pharma for financial compensation and human capital investments. This study revealed that career transition decisions were heavily influenced by prior pharma exposure, networking, peer endorsements, and an ability to overcome negative perceptions of the industry. Intra-departmental and external organizational migration and a desire for growth and flexibility illustrated a career agility mindset in oncology nurse pharmaceutical employees. The research from this study concluded that pharma is a viable second career choice for oncology nurses. Keywords: career agility phenomenon, pharmaceutical industry, oncology nurse pharmaceutical employees, recruitment
A Century after the Publication of The Economic Consequences of the Peace. Considerations on the Challenges of the Global Geoeconomics in the Third Decade of the 21st Century
Authors: Palacio Priscila
Published: October 2023

A hundred years after The Economic Consequences of the Peace (Keynes, 1919), this article proposes, on the one hand, to revisit some chapters of the work, emphasizing the premonitory character that it acquired when anticipating the fateful consequences that the imposition of peace under disadvantageous conditions for the vanquished would bring for the regional and global stability. On the other hand, even though there are many differences between the current situation and the first postwar period, the purpose of this work is not to carry out a comparative study but to extract from the rereading of Keynes’s work some contributions to understanding global geoeconomics at the dawn of the third decade of the 21st century. A brief analysis of the current world geoeconomic situation is presented, emphasizing recurrent international crises, the tripolar distribution of economic-military power, and the effects of the Russian-Ukrainian war. This study concludes that Keynes’ work is evidence that the geoeconomic decisions of the leaders of the great powers are fundamental to the maintenance of world stability.
ustyna Trubalska. Venezuela – democracy at the crossroads?, Episteme Wydawnictwo Naukowe, Lublin 2021, ISBN 978-83-65172-39-6, pp. 58.
Authors: Gocłowska-Bolek Joanna
Published: October 2023

In recent years, the economic, political and social situation in Venezuela has become an interesting topic for researchers around the world, including those studying democracy. Since this topic is also interesting from the point of view of my research and personal interests, I read with interest the scientific work entitled Venezuela – democracy at the crossroads?, prepared in Polish by Justyna Trubalska (Trubalska, 2021). The monograph was published in 2021 by Episteme Publishing House in Lublin, Poland. In her analysis, the author focused on the processes of Venezuela’s political transformation from 1999 to December 2020. The adoption of this period is justified due to the qualitative change in the systemic transformation process that began when Hugo Chávez took office in 1999 and the continuation of the process during the tenure of President Nicolás Maduro since 2013.
Interferon-gamma release assay for the diagnosis of latent tuberculosis infection in the prison population with a positive tuberculin test: a descriptive study in a prison (Burgos, Spain)
Authors: Baca Roberto , Vivancos-Gallego María J.
Published: October 2023

Objectives: A high prevalence of prison inmates have a positive tuberculin skin test (TST) and sometimes unnecessary treatment for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is prescribed. The prison tuberculosis prevention and control program has not generalized the use of QuantiFERON (QFT) in prisons. We set out to describe the implementation and usefulness of QFT in a population of inmates with positive TST, and to detect false positives and avoid unnecessary treatments. We also analysed the sociodemographic variables of the inmate population. Material and methods: All the positive TST tests between December 2020 and December 2021 from an average population of 300 inmates in Burgos prison were analysed. The QFT value was measured in all the positive cases. Sociodemographic variables were analysed and finally the number of inmates with positive TST, but with a negative QFT result and therefore not requiring LTBI treatment, was evaluated. Results: A total of 41 inmates were included in the study, with a mean age of 44 years. The proportion between Spanish inmates and foreigners was similar. Of all the positive TST, 48.8% were QFT negative. Discussion: It was observed that QFT is a safe method for the diagnosis of LTBI in prisons and that its use would contribute to a more specific selection of inmates who actually need chemoprophylactic treatment for LTBI.

Published: October 2023

Research aims: This research aims to investigate the influence of traditional environmental management practices on corporate performance and determine the mediating role of ecological product diversification in this regard.Design/Methodology/Approach: To achieve these objectives, a research design was developed and tested using a sample of 138 micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) operating in the batik industry in Central Java, Indonesia. Observation data were then analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) utilizing Amos software.Research findings: The analysis results demonstrated that traditional environmental management and ecological product diversification had a direct positive impact on the performance of small and medium enterprises. However, these results did not confirm the mediating role of ecological product diversification.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study provides convincing evidence regarding the impact of environmentally friendly product diversification on MSME performance. Therefore, MSMEs, especially those operating in the batik industry, are encouraged to diversify environmentally friendly products to increase competitiveness and adapt to people's concern for the environment in the current era (green economy). Practitioners/Policy implications: It is acknowledged that the overall results obtained from this research provide a significant contribution to the understanding of the importance of environmental management practices and environmentally-friendly product diversification to increase business efficiency in the context of MSMEs.Research limitations/Implications: This study had a limited scope and only covered the Central Java region. Subsequent research can further expand the scope of the research field.

Behavior of Base-Isolated Liquid Storage Tanks with Viscous Dampers under Historical Earthquakes Considering Superstructure Flexibility
Authors: GÜLER Elif , ALHAN Cenk
Published: October 2023

Liquid storage tanks (LSTs) can be efficiently protected from far-fault earthquakes by base-isolation. However, large isolation system and sloshing displacements may threaten the tank’s safety under near-fault earthquakes. Although the application of supplemental viscous dampers (VDs) at the base-isolation systems of LSTs located in near-fault areas may help, it may also increase superstructure demands under far-fault earthquakes. In addition to the characteristics of the earthquake, the isolation system and the superstructure properties may affect the success of base-isolated LSTs with supplemental VDs. Therefore, a numerical investigation is conducted in this study in order to determine the influence of the supplemental viscous damping ratio, the isolation system period, the tank wall flexibility, and the tank slenderness ratio on the seismic responses of base-isolated cylindrical steel LSTs with supplemental VDs including the base displacement, the sloshing displacement, and the normalized isolation system shear force under both near-fault and far-fault historical earthquake records. The tank is modeled by single-degree-of-freedom systems representing different modes on a common isolation basemat and the nonlinear dynamic analyses are carried out in 3D-BASIS-ME software. Findings show that while supplemental damping is required especially when LSTs with long-period isolation systems are subjected to large magnitude near-fault earthquakes, it may also cause amplifications in the sloshing displacement and isolation system shear force demands in case of far-fault earthquakes. Furthermore, it is determined that the influence of tank flexibility on both the superstructure and the isolation system responses is negligibly small while the tank slenderness ratio may have considerable effects.
A morte de Jean Calas: ponderações de Voltaire sobre a tolerância
Authors: Rodrigues Ewerton Ferreira , Costa Valcicléia Pereira da , Andrade Aldair Oliveira de
Published: October 2023

Este artigo tem como finalidade principal compreender o conceito de tolerância em François-Marie Arouet, conhecido pelo nome de Voltaire (1694-1778), na obra intitulada Tratado sobre a tolerância: a propósito da morte de Jean Calas. A defesa da tolerância de Voltaire tem como princípio a identidade humana, ela se manifesta no respeito e na solidariedade entre todos os homens, independentemente de sua condição econômico-social e práticas políticas e religiosas. O filósofo atribui um grande valor à razão, porque acredita que só através dela os homens poderão analisar, refletir e, dessa forma, superar os problemas gerados pela ignorância e pelo fanatismo religioso.

Published: October 2023

Aim: In this study, the effects of muscarinic acetylcholine receptor (mAChR) agonist carbachol on the proliferation of cisplatin-resistant (A2780cis) and cisplatin-free (SKOV-3) ovarian cancer cell line were for the first time investigated to further evaluate the potential therapeutic effect of metronomic chemotherapy.

Material and Methods: The inhibitory effect of carbachol on cell proliferation was detected using the xCELLigence Real-Time Cell Analyzer (RTCA) dual plate (DP) system. A preliminary study was conducted to determine the dose of carbachol 100 µM, cisplatin 1 µM, and two combination studies were carried out with 100 µM carbachol + cisplatin 1 µM and 100 µM carbachol + 10 µM atropine, over cancer cells without drugs was used as the control group. The cell proliferation curve was monitored for 96 hours. The cell index value of inhibition in cell proliferation was automatically measured every hour for each well using RTCA 1.2.1 software.

Results: Co-administration of carbachol with cisplatin caused a decrease in cell number in both A2780cis and SKOV-3 cell lines in a time-dependent manner (p

Procesy kompensacyjne w rozwiązywaniu problemów społecznych
Authors: Słaboń Andrzej
Published: October 2023

W artykule rozważa się rolę procesów kompensacyjnych w powstawaniu i rozwiązywaniu problemów społecznych. Kompensacja ujmowana jest zazwyczaj jako wyrównywanie deficytów różnych grup i środowisk społecznych. Kompensowanie nierówności przez politykę inkluzji staje się istotną cechą państwa bezpieczeństwa socjalnego.  Procesy kompensacyjne rozumiane mogą być jednak szerzej jako reakcje podmiotów na dominujące cechy ładu społecznego. W tym kontekście wskazuje się na zachodzące kompensacje spontaniczne. Przejawem dominujących cech ładu społecznego jest zjawisko nadmiernej formalizacji oraz przeregulowanie życia społecznego prowadzące do różnych form sprzeciwu społecznego. Szeroko akcentowana polityka inkluzji wytwarza tendencje przeciwne o charakterze ukrytej ekskluzji. Rozwiązywanie wielu problemów społecznych polega w tym ujęciu na konwersji procesów spontanicznej kompensacji. Regulowanie tych procesów staje się elementem programu pozytywnej polityki społecznej.
Teoria subkultury starości a niektóre zjawiska społeczne dotyczące ludzi starszych
Authors: Niezabitowski Marek
Published: October 2023

Od dawna w socjologicznym dyskursie na temat sytuacji społecznej ludzi starych obecne jest przekonanie o pogłębianiu się dystansu między pokoleniami. Pojawia się to w refleksjach zarówno polskich, jak i zagranicznych gerontologów i socjologów. Teoria subkultury starości jest jedną z tych refleksji, które przybrały skondensowaną i uporządkowaną formę. W artykule zostaną pokazane główne założenia tej teorii wg Arnolda Rose’a oraz niektóre charakterystyczne cechy odrębności społecznej ludzi starszych w świetle badań Arlie Hochschild. Zostaną wyeksponowane m.in. czynniki sprzyjające formowaniu się subkultury starości oraz obszary jej funkcjonowania wg Rose’a, jak również niektóre wzory zachowań zaobserwowane przez Hochschild wśród członków badanej przez nią grupy subkulturowej seniorów. Autor wskaże pewne procesy, które w polskiej rzeczywistości mogły/mogą sprzyjać wyłanianiu się zjawisk o charakterze subkultury starości. Przybliży ponadto obszary życia społecznego związane z osobami starszymi oraz dotyczące ich tematy czy problemy badawcze, które mogą zostać zainspirowane teorią subkultury starości.
Od incydentów do pracy zdalnej. Przedpandemiczne doświadczenia pracujących z domu w czasie lockdownu
Authors: Binder Piotr
Published: October 2023

W tekście podjęto próbę analizy jednego z aspektów zmiany społecznej jakim jest postępujący proces „uelastyczniania” pracy. Punktem wyjścia była teza zakładająca, że techniczne i organizacyjne komponenty pracy zdalnej oraz praktyki wykonywania części obowiązków zawodowych w sposób zdalny uległy popularyzacji na długo przed pandemią, choć nie wskazywały na to przedpandemiczne pomiary takich form zatrudnienia jak telepraca. Empiryczną podstawę tekstu stanowiło 49 częściowo-strukturyzowanych wywiadów jakościowych z osobami pracującymi zdalnie w początkach pandemii. Przedstawione analizy były inspirowane z jednej strony koncepcją (teleworkability), która umożliwia wyjście poza binarną opozycję stacjonarne-zdalne, z drugiej teorią granic (boundary theory), która wyczula na zmiany dokonujące się na styku sfery zawodowej i prywatnej. Efektem analiz jest ugruntowana w danych typologia przedpandemicznych doświadczeń pracy zdalnej. Jej interpretacje wskazują, że komponenty pracy zdalnej stopniowo przenikały do życia zatrudnionych, czego konsekwencją było uelastycznienie przestrzennych i temporalnych ram pracy, przy jednoczesnym naruszeniu granic pomiędzy pracą a życiem prywatnym. Procesy te stanowiły jednocześnie źródło cennych doświadczeń dla zatrudnionych, którzy w początkach pandemii zostali zmuszeni przez okoliczności do pracy zdalnej. Spektrum kontekstów zawodowych, w których przemiany te obserwowano, wskazuje na szersze, kulturowe tło zmian jakie mają miejsce w sferze pracy.
Glajchszalt resocjalizacyjny – opinie skazanych kobiet i mężczyzn na temat przygotowania do życia na wolności w warunkach polskiego więzienia
Authors: Kacprzak Andrzej
Published: October 2023

Polska jest krajem o największej liczbie więźniów w Unii Europejskiej, a ich liczba od kilku lat znów stale rośnie. Tendencja ta ma miejsce pomimo powszechnego kwestionowania skuteczności systemu resocjalizacyjnego, za czym przemawiają chociażby wysokie wskaźniki recydywy. Powrotność byłych skazanych do przestępczości, sądów i więzień ma miejsce w specyficznym kontekście polskiej penitencjarystyki. Po wyjściu na wolność byli więźniowie doświadczają wielu trudności w staraniach o zabezpieczenie swoich zasobów społecznych i ekonomicznych, co – zwłaszcza przy deficycie wsparcia – niejednokrotnie przyczynia się do ich powtórnej kryminalizacji. Tekst podejmuje problematykę resocjalizacji i pomocy postpenitencjarnej w Polsce z perspektywy mężczyzn i kobiet odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności. Podstawę empiryczną podjętych analiz stanowią zogniskowane wywiady grupowe przeprowadzone z udziałem recydywistek i recydywistów odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności na terenie zakładów karnych w Polsce.

Published: October 2023

Background: H. isora is a species of the genus Helicteres, a medicinal plant known to be used in the treatment of liver cancer in Vietnam. However, there has been no recorded about biological activity of H. isora species in Vietnam. The current study aimed to study the antitumor activity through its antioxidant activity and inhibitory properties on hepatocellular carcinoma cells. Methods: Arial parts of Helicteres isora were collected from Dak Nong province. Samples were extracted maceration method in ethanol solvent. The antitumor activity were identified though the DPPH radical scavenging activity (Brand-Williams et al., (1995) and WST-1 assay, Real- time PCR, Hoechst 33258 spectrofluorometric assay and Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Assay on the human liver cancer cells (HepG2) and non-malignant cells of Chang’s Live. Result: The ethanol extract of H. isora exhibited antioxidant activity with IC50=21.16 µg/ml. H. isora extract also exhibited inhibitory activity on HepG2 cell division with IC50=37 µg/ml after 48 h. The expression of DNA fragmentation of the extract also increased with time (48-72h). Apoptosis induction of extract was associated with up-regulation of pro-apoptotic Bax gene expression and down-regulation of anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 gene expression. The H. isora extract was found to induce the apoptotic process in HepG2 cells through the up and down regulation of the Bax/Bcl-2 gene.

Efeitos da mudança do uso do solo sobre o microclima no Parque Las Barrancas, Tarija, Bolívia
Authors: Martinez Mansilla Maria Eugenia , Studart Corrêa Rodrigo
Published: October 2023

O baixo percentual de áreas verdes nas cidades se atribui ao deficiente planejamento e descontrolado crescimento urbano pela ocupação nessas áreas por assentamentos irregulares, provocando um prejuízo que afeta o microclima urbano. O objetivo principal deste trabalho é avaliar os efeitos da mudança no uso do solo no Parque Las Barrancas na cidade de Tarija, Bolívia. O método usado compreendeu três procedimentos, 1) caracterizar o clima e a vegetação da zona de estudo 2) calcular o índice CO2flux para o Bioparque Urbano por meio de sensoriamento remoto 3) simular dois cenários reais, um recorte com uso (urbanizado) e outro com uso preservado (vegetado) para estimar as variáveis de Temperatura Radiante Média, Temperatura do ar e Temperatura de Superfície por meio de ENVI-met V5. Os resultados permitiram comparar e correlacionar dados de porcentagem de área verde e temperatura de superfície, obtendo como uma diferença de 16°C entre ambos cenários. Em conclusão, este trabalho torna visível os efeitos no microclima urbano devido à mudança no uso do solo e recomenda a aplicação de estratégias de revegetação nas áreas verdes da cidade.
Métodos de Estudo da Paisagem Relacionada aos Rios Urbanos: Pesquisa e Interpretação
Authors: Espindula Lidiane , Souza Mendonça Eneida Maria
Published: October 2023

Os rios, desde a antiguidade, estão presentes na história da formação e do crescimento das cidades; no entanto, as ocupações em suas margens, muitas vezes, os ocultam da paisagem, fazendo com que deixem de ser protagonistas e passem a fazer parte do sistema de drenagem urbana. Por meio da seleção de trabalhos relevantes para uma revisão sistemática da literatura, o presente artigo busca investigar e interpretar pesquisas que tratem de métodos/metodologias de estudos envolvendo rio - cidade - paisagem para compreender a dimensão acadêmica relacionada ao tema em diversos países e o foco predominantemente dado, buscando trabalhos com métodos de estudo relacionados a políticas públicas de preservação da paisagem para áreas fluviais densamente ocupadas. Dentre os trabalhos estudados, identificou-se uma predominância em estudos socioambientais, ecológicos, sustentáveis, porém há poucas metodologias que tratem os rios e a sua paisagem como elementos únicos, afirmando a necessidade de métodos que estudem as alterações dos rios diante das ocupações urbanas, com o intuito de corroborar no desenvolvimento de políticas públicas na preservação dessa paisagem.
¡De esos Marcos Pérez hay muchos en Buena Vista! Fraseología y antroponimia en Cuba
Authors: Labrada-Hernández Geisy , Campo-Yumar Luis Ramón
Published: October 2023

El presente trabajo, en el cual confluyen la antroponomástica y la fraseología, se inserta en las líneas de investigación del Grupo de Estudios de Fraseología de Cuba (Gefrascu). El objetivo es identificar las funciones que desempeñan los nombres propios en un corpus de sesenta unidades fraseológicas de uso actual en el español de Cuba. Asimismo, se analizan algunas de las referencias concretas tanto del origen de las expresiones como de la correspondencia o no con su significado y uso. El corpus se obtuvo del vaciado de diccionarios generales y fraseológicos. Fue comprobado y ampliado a través de encuestas en las regiones oriental y central cubanas. Su organización tomó como base el subtipo de antropónimo presente en cada unidad fraseológica: nombre de pila, hipocorístico, apellido o hagiónimo. Entre los resultados, destaca el predominio de los nombres de pila, sobre todo aquellos que guardan semejanzas fonéticas con el resto de la expresión. Como referentes principales están los nombres de personajes de origen bíblico, de la religión yoruba y otros protagonistas de anécdotas o historias populares. A través de la función de vocativo en las unidades fraseológicas, el antropónimo pierde su función primaria identificadora para aludir a cualquier interlocutor destinatario de la frase, a veces, incluso, obvia la distinción de género. Con un alcance explicativo interdisciplinar, este análisis contribuye a una comprensión más amplia de la configuración léxico-semántica de la fraseología antroponímica, además, permite describir aspectos relativos a la forma, funcionalidad y proverbialidad de los nombres propios.
Frequency effects and the study of Limon’s Spanish copulas: ser and estar
Authors: Aguilar-Sánchez Jorge
Published: October 2023

This paper presents a brief but comprehensive review of what has been done regarding the Spanish copula. It explores how frequency effects can help account for the unexplained variance found in the different proposed models, based on the Exemplar Model. This is done to propose a theoretical framework for the study of the Spanish copula in contact situations that include frequency as a variable to understand whether change is ongoing or stable, and whether the change of estar is extending to the contexts of ser, ser is extending to the contexts of estar,  or both phenomena is taking place. I explore how each of the schema components interacts with each other, how these interactions fit into the traditional description of copula choice, and move away from the generative view of language as a set of rules to begin looking at it as a system highly affected by the frequency of use of its components.  I then propose a procedure on how to explain copula behavior in Spanish that includes a multi-level analysis of this phenomenon.

A Thematic Analysis of Narratives About Birth Satisfaction and Health Awareness From Postnatal Women Who Have High and Low Trauma Scores on thePosttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist
Authors: Emmens Berbel , Martin Caroline J. Hollins , Patterson Jenny , Martin Colin R.
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:Around one-third of women experience childbirth trauma, with 3%–15% developing postpartum posttraumatic stress disorder (PP-PTSD).

AIM:Explore birth satisfaction and health perception across two groups of postnatal women with either high or low trauma scores.

METHOD:Forty postnatal women were divided into groups dependent upon Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist (PCL-5) scores: high severity (n= 20; range 25–57) or low severity (n= 20; range 0–7). Semi-structured interviews explored women’s childbirth experiences related to birth satisfaction and reports of postnatal health. Thematic analysis was performed.

FINDINGS:Narrative content differed appreciably between high (A) and low (B) scoring groups. Group A narratives were more negative (A1: Overall, a negative recall), referencing lack of autonomy, support, or being heard (A2: Missing needs) and negative influences (A3: Disrupting my bubble). Group B recalled more birth satisfaction (B1: Mostly positive recall) associated with (B2: Autonomy; B3: Being cared for; B4: Intuition, instinct, and primal force). Group A narratives focused strongly on mental health (A4: Reduced awareness; A6: Experiencing PTSD; A7: Needing help), with some focus on physical health (A5: How I feel physically); Group B spoke less about health (B5: My health).

DISCUSSION:High-quality psychological care during labor, with continuity, choice, support, and control, alongside postnatal health follow-up may improve birth satisfaction and reduce the incidence of PP-PTSD.

CONCLUSION:To increase birth satisfaction and reduce trauma, maternity care providers must be supported to prioritize high-quality psychological care to women during labor, providing choice, control, and continuity within trusting relationships. Trusting relationships are key to ongoing conversations regarding health and seeking/receiving help. Routine birth satisfaction screening and education for care providers about signs of trauma are important.

Authors: Ghoneim Hanan M. , Taha Omima T. , Elgedawy Asmaa M.
Published: October 2023

BACKGROUND:Childbirth is a significant event with a great impact on maternal physical and psychological health. Childbirth abuse has been reported in different countries with variable rates. This study aims to determine the prevalence of childbirth abuse during labor in a governmental hospital in Egypt.

METHODS:This cross-sectional study was conducted from March 2020 to December 2021. We recruited 190 women. Patients were asked to fill in the Arabic-validated childbirth verbal abuse and neglect questionnaire immediately after delivery. The questionnaire consisted of four parts enquiring about personal data and childbirth history, the occurrence of physical violence, and other elements of satisfaction.

Published: October 2023

Cet article résume les enseignements tirés d'une recherche menée dans les pays du Sud et destinée à influencer la réponse à la pandémie de Covid-19. Les études de cas proviennent principalement du programme Covid-19 Responses for Equity (CORE), financé par le Centre de recherches pour le développement international (CRDI). L'article examine : (1) les caractéristiques de la préparation organisationnelle des institutions de recherche locales en temps de crise ; (2) la forme et la fonction des connaissances adaptées aux situations d'urgence ; et (3) les processus de connaissance et les stratégies d'engagement pour une mobilisation rapide. L'état de préparation organisationnelle dépend de la solidité des réseaux des instituts de recherche, de leur accès aux décideurs clés ou aux communautés touchées, ainsi que des ressources et des capacités qui leur permettent de se mobiliser rapidement. Les connaissances hyperlocales, associées à des méthodologies de recherche inclusives, facilitent le positionnement de la recherche en vue de son utilisation dans les situations d'urgence. La pandémie a démontré que les organismes de recherche locaux et nationaux sont bien placés pour mener des recherches ayant un impact, à la fois en tant qu'alliés cruciaux des gouvernements et en tant qu'acteurs extérieurs plaidant pour le changement.

The Rohingya diaspora is a politically sensitive humanitarian crisis for Bangladesh. The current Covid-19 pandemic poses a range of governance, demographic, and environmental policy challenges in an already fragile context. The ongoing situation combined with the pandemic requires a rethinking of humanitarian strategies to tackle the double burden of crises – humanitarian and pandemic. Drawing together evidence and experience from a mixed method participatory action research conducted among Rohingya refugees and the host community in Bangladesh, this article highlights the importance of the institutional readiness of research organisations to produce contextual interventions and targeted approaches in pandemic and humanitarian response for diverse communities. The article also reflects on the strategies researchers applied to create a knowledge network between researchers and implementers, which not only informed the study design and its selection of most vulnerable groups but also worked towards producing knowledge fit for purpose, where critical evidence was shared with key decision makers and policymakers.
Resiliencia en tiempos de pandemia: generando políticas públicas para las ollas comunes en Perú
Authors: Fort Ricardo , Alcázar Lorena
Published: October 2023

La pandemia del coronavirus (Covid-19) ha generado crisis en los ámbitos económico, social y de seguridad alimentaria en muchos países del mundo. Ante el aumento del hambre en el Perú, y la reacción tardía e incompleta del Estado, la respuesta más importante vino de los propios ciudadanos, especialmente de las mujeres, a través de miles de iniciativas solidarias conocidas como ollas comunes. Este documento combina la historia del resurgimiento de las ollas comunes y las iniciativas de apoyo desde el Estado, con el proceso que seguimos desde Grupo de Análisis para el Desarrollo (GRADE) para contribuir con las instituciones que buscaban mejorar el acceso a alimentos de las poblaciones más vulnerables. Ambas historias tienen en común esa capacidad de adaptación rápida que se requiere para lograr objetivos en situaciones inciertas y cambiantes.

The appraisal of academic staff at Sultan Qaboos University (SQU) has been in place for many years as a quality assurance measure. Its primary objective is to enhance staff performance by identifying commendable areas and those requiring improvement in daily activities. Over the years, this appraisal has contributed in faculty development and quality assurance as well as in the continuous improvement. This study explores the perceptions of faculty members at the College of Education concerning the procedures for applying the academic appraisal form at SQU. Utilizing a mixed-method approach (quantitative and qualitative), including questionnaire and semi-structured interview, the research examines the faculty members' views on the effectiveness of the appraisal procedures. The sample participating in this study was 54 faculty members. Out of the 54 participants, 48 completed the questionnaire, while 6 were chosen for in-depth semi-structured interviews. The sample included a wide range of participants to reflect the diversity within the academic staff. The findings may offer valuable insights into the current status of these perceptions and potentially assist policy makers at SQU in enhancing the existing procedures and system for applying the academic appraisal. Furthermore, the results may lead to a set of recommendations and directions for future research, helping to improve the robustness and applicability of the appraisal system within the university context.

The Student Engagement in Village Development Program (PMMD) stands as a significant initiative undertaken at the Kalimantan Institute of Technology, with a keen focus on the development of Pantai Seraya. Situated on Sepinggan Raya I Street, RT 28, Sepinggan Subdistrict, South Balikpapan District, Balikpapan City, East Kalimantan, Pantai Seraya embodies a captivating potential for natural tourism that appeals to the residents of Balikpapan. However, this promising potential is hindered by the lack of necessary facilities and infrastructure to deliver a satisfying tourist experience. The lack of visitor interest stems from this very condition. In this context, we strongly propose an urgent solution involving the construction of essential facilities, including seating arrangements, illumination, and waste disposal units at Pantai Seraya. The primary objective is to elevate the comfort of visitors. Nevertheless, sustainability also takes center stage in this development. With an expected increase in visits over time, preserving the cleanliness of the beach and its surroundings becomes paramount. This action will not only ensure a positive tourism experience but will also safeguard the coastal ecosystem for the long term. Consequently, Pantai Seraya is envisioned to emerge as a premier destination in Balikpapan, offering both economic and ecological benefits, creating livelihood opportunities for the local community, and fostering awareness regarding the necessity of maintaining beach cleanliness among tourists and local residents.

Therefore, they are expected to understand how to maintain the cleanliness and health of their reproductive organs to reduce the risk of unwanted pregnancy and the transmission of HIV/AIDS. With this urgency, the following activities were carried out to provide education about reproductive health to adolescents in Sekaran Village, Balen District, Bojonegoro Regency. This activity was carried out to 47 students in grades 7, 8, and 9 of MTs Manba'ul Huda, Bojonegoro Regency. The activities were chosen using the methods of lecture and playing crossword, as the presence of games can enhance students' interest in engaging with the presented material. The data was collected using a questionnaire in the form of pre-test and post-test given to the students. Then statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon test to measure the difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. From these two values, it was found that there was an average increase from the results of the pre-test (32.34 ± 20.664) to the post-test (58.30 ± 26.826). From the results of data analysis that has been carried out, it can be concluded that the method of playing crossword and lecture is effective for increasing the knowledge of MTs Manba'ul Huda students about adolescent reproductive health.
