Published: July 2020

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease that has become a global pandemic. COVID-19 is spreading in Africa, and Zimbabwe has not been spared. The cases in Zimbabwe are mainly from imported cases due to high volume of travellers from the COVID-19 hotspots. In Zimbabwe, local transmission is also anticipated due to inter- and intracity travelling. Frontline health workers are at risk of infection due to contact with infected people as they discharge their duties. In this setting, the risk to community pharmacists and pharmacy personnel is poorly understood and characterised. This paper looked at the risks of infection that are peculiar to community pharmacy personnel and suggested some recommendations to reduce the risk to COVID-19 infection.

Authors: Alagizy H. A. , Soltan M. R. , Soliman S. S. , Hegazy N. N. , Gohar S. F.
Published: July 2020

Background

Statistics reveal that the number of women diagnosed with breast cancer is increasing in Egypt. It is seen as a terrifying disease due to its high mortality rate and its impacts on the self-image and the sexual relationship. Many of its patients experience psychological reactions and may have psychiatric morbidities. The present study aimed to identify the prevalence and associated psychosocial factors of anxiety, depressive disorders, and perceived stress among breast cancer patients in Menoufia university hospitals. This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Clinical Oncology Department, Menoufia University. Sixty patients were subjected to questionnaires for socio-demographic data, structured psychiatric clinical interview to screen for psychiatric diagnoses, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II) for measuring the emotional, cognitive and motivational symptoms of depression, Manifest Anxiety Scale to assess the degree of anxiety, and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) to assess stress level.

Results

The prevalence of depressive symptoms, anxiety symptoms, and perceived stress were 68.6%, 73.3%, and 78.1% respectively. Moderate to severe anxiety, depression, and stress were more prevalent among advanced disease patients, patients who underwent surgery, married patients, patients who were living in rural areas, illiterate, and those without satisfactory income but without statistically significant difference except for the effect of occupation on the anxiety state as unemployed patients had significantly higher prevalence of moderate to severe anxiety (100%) than employed patients p = 0.003.

Conclusion

Depressive disorders, anxiety, and perceived stress are common psychiatric disorders among the studied breast cancer patients. Understanding these common psychiatric disorders and associated stress can help to plan for their management.

Authors: Ali Omaima Mohamed , Hussein Alaa Aboelela , Kholef Emad Farah Mohamed , Elsewify Wael Abd Elgwad
Published: July 2020

Background

Patients with chronic HCV infection are the most in need for antiviral treatment. However, patients with cirrhosis exhibit difficulty with direct antiviral agents (DAA) treatment. We intended to evaluate the virological response of DAA in HCV-related cirrhosis treatment as well as its effect on liver function tests and other laboratory tests. Our study was a prospective cohort study of 240 patients with HCV-related liver cirrhosis. Those patients were consecutively selected from Gastroenterology and Hepatology out-patient clinic at Aswan University Hospital. They were subjected to the DAA regimen (sofosbuvir 400 mg plus daclatasvir 60 mg).

Results

The study showed a rapid decrease in HCV viral load; HCV RNA was undetectable in 65% of patients on 4th week of treatment and in 88.3% of patients on 8th week of treatment. It was undetectable in 100% of patients on 12th week of treatment and remained unchanged until therapy was completed (24 weeks). The SVR (sustained virological response) was 96.3%. Other laboratory tests demonstrated that serum level of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) decreased rapidly to normal limits on 4th week of treatment and remained within normal range until 12th week post-treatment. Significant improvements in serum albumin, total bilirubin, INR, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels were observed during and after treatment. Child-Pugh score showed a significant improvement post-treatment. We also observed a significant improvement in platelet count during and after treatment.

Conclusion

The DAA regimen (sofosbuvir 400 mg plus daclatasvir 60 mg) for treatment of HCV-related liver cirrhosis can achieve satisfactory virological response (SVR more than 96%). It can lead to improvement of serum ALT, serum albumin, total bilirubin, INR, AFP, and Child-Pugh score and also increase in platelet count after treatment.
Witnessing the Past in the Work of W. G. Sebald
Authors: Malikova Maria
Published: July 2020

This essay reads “As Day and Night,” an essay W. G. Sebald wrote about artist and friend Jan Peter Tripp, as a complex and multilayered commentary on the role of both written and visual texts in the author’s oeuvre. It draws on Sebald’s Austerlitz as well as the work of French phenomenologist Maurice Merleau-Ponty to argue for the centrality of the human gaze in Sebald’s imagination. The human gaze forges a unique form of realism in Sebald, playing a central role in revealing the “metaphysical underside” of objects, which in turn provokes an ethical response in the reader-viewer.

Authors: Razik Abdul , Goyal Ankur , Sharma Raju , Kandasamy Devasenathipathy , Seth Amlesh , Das Prasenjit , Ganeshan Balaji
Published: July 2020

Objectives:

To assess the utility of magnetic resonance texture analysis (MRTA) in differentiating renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from lipid-poor angiomyolipoma (lpAML) and oncocytoma.

Methods:

After ethical approval, 42 patients with 54 masses (34 RCC, 14 lpAML and six oncocytomas) who underwent MRI on a 1.5 T scanner (Avanto, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany) between January 2011 and December 2012 were retrospectively included in the study. MRTA was performed on the TexRAD research software (Feedback Plc., Cambridge, UK) using free-hand polygonal region of interest (ROI) drawn on the maximum cross-sectional area of the tumor to generate six first-order statistical parameters. The Mann-Whitney U test was used to look for any statically significant difference. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was done to select the parameter with the highest class separation capacity [area under the curve (AUC)] for each MRI sequence.

Results:

Several texture parameters on MRI showed high-class separation capacity (AUC > 0.8) in differentiating RCC from lpAML and oncocytoma. The best performing parameter in differentiating RCC from lpAML was mean of positive pixels (MPP) at SSF 2 (AUC: 0.891) on DWI b500. In differentiating RCC from oncocytoma, the best parameter was mean at SSF 0 (AUC: 0.935) on DWI b1000.

Conclusions:

MRTA could potentially serve as a useful non-invasive tool for differentiating RCC from lpAML and oncocytoma.

Advances in knowledge:

There is limited literature addressing the role of MRTA in differentiating RCC from lpAML and oncocytoma. Our study demonstrated several texture parameters which were useful in this regard.
Association between socioeconomic factors and soft drink consumption among adults in Cambodia: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Sim Samphors , Pisey Vong , Dewey Rebecca S.
Published: July 2020

Background: Soft drinks are an attractive and popular drink, consumed by many people to fulfill their energy. However, soft drink consumption is an important risk factor for non-communicable diseases. This study aimed to investigate the association between socioeconomic factors and soft drink consumption among adults in Cambodia. 

Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study with multi-stage random sampling was used to select 749 respondents from 12 communes across 5 districts in Phnom Penh, the capital city of Cambodia. A structured questionnaire was used to assess socioeconomic factors and soft drink consumption. Data were analyzed using bivariate and multivariable logistic regression. Crude odds ratios and adjusted odds ratios (AORs) with 95% confident intervals (CI) were calculated to show the strength of associations.

Results: The overall prevalence of soft drink consumption was 44.73% (95%CI: 41.16-48.30%) across the sample population. The final model of multiple logistic regression showed only four factors to be significantly associated with soft drink consumption: gender, age, family size and income. Respondents most likely to consume soft drinks were men (AOR: 1.49, 95%CI: 1.10-2.00; p=0.009), those aged 31-59 years (AOR: 1.93, 95%CI: 1.98-4.62; p<0.001), those in a household of less than 5 individuals (AOR: 1.38, 95%CI: 1.44-3.19; p=0.036), and those earning <300$/month (AOR: 1.59, 95%CI: 1.10-2.31; p=0.003).

Conclusion: The prevalence of soft drink consumption in Cambodia is a major concern for public health. The predictive factors significantly associated with soft drink consumption identified by this study were gender, age, household size and income. Therefore, all stakeholders should contribute to social marketing and intervention focusing on reducing the consumption of soft drinks through advertising on social media, television and other popular media platforms. Furthermore, additional taxation of soft drinks should be considered.

Cierpienie i pamięć - o transmisji doświadczeń w narracji
Authors: Szlachcicowa Irena
Published: July 2020

Suffering and Memory – on the Experience Transmission in the Narrative The traumatic experience of war and the Holocaust not only left its mark on the psyche of the people affected by it, it also left a deep imprint on the consciousness of the next generation. The aim of this article is to present the phenomenon of generational transmission of post-war trauma in relation to the concept of trajectory, developed in sociology. The concept of trajectory allows for better examination and understanding of the biographical processes of suffering that arises and grows in the situation of social disorder and the breakdown of moral norms. Tragic experiences from the parents’ past are a significant conditioning of the way children perceive their stories and themselves. Post-memory, as the second generation’s memory created by family narratives, is a form of remembering what has happened, which determines the process of constructing the self.
O procesie różnicowania
Authors: Pietrzak Edyta
Published: July 2020

On the Process of Othering. European Identity in Opposition to Otherness The process of othering is the process of assigning a group or individual the role of the Other and creating one’s own identity in opposition to it. It deprives Others of the characteristics of “the same”: reason, dignity, love, pride, heroism, nobility, and ultimately human rights, regardless of whether the Other is a racial or religious group, a sexual minority or a nation. The process of othering can take a form of exploitation, oppression and even genocide because, as Richard Rorty put it, everything changes who is a fellow member of our moral community. Stanisław Konopacki describes it in relation to the question of European identity, built in opposition to Otherness. This opposition turns out to be extremely inspiring for an analysis of contemporary crises in the European Union. The paper presents a theoretical analysis of the process itself, its anthropological sources, and its consequences for the Habermas project of the contemporary European public sphere.
Znaczenie eurosceptycyzmu na scenie politycznej Republiki Czeskiej
Authors: Koźbiał Krzysztof
Published: July 2020

The Importance of Euroscepticism on the Political Scene of the Czech Republic. Conditions and Consequences

Czech society is one of the most eurosceptic in the European Union. One of the reasons is a low degree of trust in authority (government, parliament) in general, also at the supranational level. Consequently, Czech political parties have eurosceptic slogans in their programs that do not prevent voters from supporting them, both in the elections to the Czech and European Parliaments. The political system is dominated by parties presenting the so‑ called „soft euroscepticism” (according to Taggart’s and Szczerbiak’s approach), such as: Action of Dissatisfied Citizens (ANO 2011), Civic Democratic Party (ODS) or Communist Party of Bohemia and Moravia (KSČM). In the 2017 election, they received a total of almost 50% of the vote. However, euroscepticism is not a threat to the Czech presence in the EU. Extremely eurosceptic parties do not enjoy great public support.
O herói silencioso e o Osagyefo: George Padmore Kwame Nkrumah e a Revolução da Costa do Ouro
Authors: De Mattos Pablo De Oliveira
Published: July 2020

Kwame Nkrumah, conhecido como um dos principais líderes pan-africanos, conduziu a Costa do Ouro até sua independência, em 1957. Gana, então, torna-se o primeiro país independente da África subsaariana e, Nkrumah, torna-se Osagyefo. A participação de George Padmore, um intelectual caribenho, neste processo é fundamental. Porém pouco conhecida. Apontado como o “herói silencioso” das independências africanas, buscou articulações transnacionais anti-imperialistas que conduzissem à Revolução africana e à formação de um bloco de estados socialistas africanos. Este artigo evidencia a relação entre o pensamento de George Padmore e as ações de Kwame Nkrumah diante do processo anticolonial. Mas também reflete sobre os atritos e ruídos entre suas concepções e projetos pan-africanos, contribuindo para a análise das linguagens políticas do Pan-Africanismo e de seu vocabulário político.

Cidade de Deus: dicção negro-periférica em forma de romance
Authors: Rodrigues Thiago Martins , Sanseverino Antônio Marcos Vieira
Published: July 2020

O presente trabalho pretende analisar o romance Cidade de Deus (1997), de Paulo Lins, observando como o autor estrutura em forma de romance a violência e o racismo denunciados pela dicção negra da literatura brasileira. A partir de Formação da Literatura Brasileira (1962), questiona-se que lugar tem a narrativa negra (CUTI, 2010) nesta linha sucessória de obras, considerando sua recepção. Conclui-se que há uma segunda formação da literatura brasileira não expressa por Candido, que é negra, e que a crítica literária branca não dá conta de analisá-la e interpretá-la em profundidade, levando em consideração as questões étnico-raciais que provocam mudanças significativas no modo de organização das narrativas.

Análisis mineralógico y Registros laborales de amianto, un ejemplo más de su valor
Authors: García López Vega
Published: July 2020

Navarra cuenta con el primer y más exhaustivo Registro de trabajadores expuestos laboralmente a amianto del país. Actualmente constan 2858 trabajadores, 395 mujeres y 2463 hombres. La práctica totalidad ya no ocupan puestos de riesgo. Durante años ha ayudado al reconocimiento de la contingencia profesional de los daños. 

Paradójicamente, en este caso, un trabajador fallecido por cáncer de pulmón con  patología intersticial previa,  un  resultado negativo de una necropsia, 425CF/gr de tejido seco de pulmón (CF cuerpos ferruginosos), se utilizó como argumento para rechazar el origen profesional.

Es necesario considerar que un resultado positivo confirma exposición pasada pero los negativos no han de valorarse cuando ha sido a crisotilo,   dada la baja persistencia temporal en tejidos.

Una historia laboral detallada y, cuando existan, los Registros han de ser el principal argumento causal.

The results reveal the current status and limitations of sandplay research. These also suggest future research directions for sandplay therapists and researchers.
A Research on the Turtle’s Symbolic Ambivalence and Its Role as a Spiritual Guide for Individuation Entrance
Authors: Hwang Hwa Ran
Published: July 2020

Individuation is a process of human maturity into true self, and a process of self-realization, a holistic process centered on spiritual transformation. Individuation incorporates the unconsciousness and consciousness existing as an antipole within the mind. We examine this process through the common symbol of the turtle in sandplay therapy. It serves as a mediator between God and Man, thus having an antipole ambivalence of wisdom and chaos. Our case study to examine the role of this symbol was a middle-aged woman. Through turtles appearing in sand therapy of middle-aged woman, we recognized and integrated what is symbolic of human unconsciousness. Sandplay both illuminated and resolved her anger and internal conflict. This fostered the process of individualization and integrated the anima and animus. The results are relevant for understanding the individuation entrance in sandplay therapy. In particular, it aids struggles with self-integration and individualization because of internal conflicts.
Developing a Low-Cost Microcontroller–Based Model for Teaching and Learning
Authors: Lee Eunsang
Published: July 2020

Recently, as low-cost microcontrollers such as those developed by Arduino and Raspberry Pi have become widely available, the term maker education has emerged as a hot topic in education. Teachers are increasingly using low-cost microcontrollers in their classes, but conducting a class that focuses on using a microcontroller may cause difficulties or problems, for the learner or for the instructor. To solve these problems, it was necessary to design a teaching and learning model for the use of low-cost microcontrollers to be applied at school sites. Accordingly, this study aimed to develop a teaching and learning model for using low-cost microcontrollers. As a result of this study, the author proposes a teaching and learning model that consists of six stages: topic selection, exploration of implementation methods, experimentation, production of teaching and learning materials, implementing lesson plans, and improvement. According to this procedure, teaching and learning materials were created and applied for the subject matter of a middle school unit on “Making Arduino Automobile.” The model developed in this study may provide a guideline for teachers who want to apply low-cost microcontrollers in their classes.
Estatura y condición nutricional de la población infantil en una ciudad industrial española: el caso de Barcelona (1900-1969)
Authors: Muñoz Pradas Francisco
Published: July 2020

Como consecuencia de un conjunto de reformas urbanas y sanitarias a partir de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX la mortalidad de Barcelona descendió. Los cambios biológicos en la población menor de 15 años son relevantes para explicarlo. Este artículo los analiza en base a estadísticas antropométricas publicadas. Se reconstruye la evolución secular de su crecimiento y se diagnostica su estado nutricional a lo largo de siete décadas del siglo XX. Los resultados muestran: a) Entre los nacidos antes de la Guerra Civil los incrementos medios de estatura (de 7 a 13 años) por decenio eran menores de un centímetro. Aquellos que lo hicieron a partir de los cincuenta superaron los dos centímetros. b) Los niveles de malnutrición fueron principalmente moderados (en torno al 20%) con una reducción significativa a partir la década de los cincuenta. c) Las diferencias de género, sociales y residenciales persistieron a lo largo de las siete décadas, aun participando toda la población infantil en el incremento general de las tallas en todas las edades.

Published: July 2020

Future kindergarten and primary school teachers mostly belong to Generation Z, a particularly complex group living in a complex era. Their training in art and education creates a wide variety of theoretical and practical lessons, and equally diverse experiences, that can correspond either to their own generational features as students or to their training as the teachers of tomorrow. This article presents a series of issues that bring together the results of marketing and advertising studies featuring Generation Z and the author's own university teaching practice, and contributions from different perspectives and educational trends established in the last century such as the student-centred learning approach. The article concludes by providing indications of what are known as good practices, and also ways of meeting present and future challenges.
MUECA :S - Un model universitari invertit.
Authors: Sentamans Tatiana
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this article is to describe and analyse the different strategies applied in the framework of the design and management of the Master’s Degree in Cultural Studies and Visual Arts (feminist and queer perspectives), MUECA, an official master’s research degree taught on line and semi-presentially at Miguel Hernández University. For this reason, and to understand how this defines its teaching model and its inverted curriculum, we analyse not only the status quo the curriculum of MUECA and its teaching or its human and material resources (people and machines), but the personal and situated experiences that serve to announce and analyse the initial motivations that have originated a set of decisions regarding its implementation and development. The materials that generate estrangement, contact and queer pedagogies, situated epistemologies, affect networks, counter-productivity (quality versus quantity), from feminist and queer perspectives, have determined in addition to the contents, other forms of doing academic work and research within the strategies marked by the norms (educational legislation and regulations). MUECA enables an innovative teaching-learning experience in its specific framework, which has great potential for intervention in the social field and for widening the margins of action.
The Prevalence, Frequency and Social Ecology of Sexual Concurrency Among Young Adult Women
Authors: Weitzman Abigail , Kusunoki Yasamin
Published: July 2020

CONTEXT

Sexual concurrency among women is associated with increased risks of STD transmission, unintended pregnancy and sexual health disparities. Understanding the prevalence of concurrency—overlapping sexual partnerships—is imperative to reducing these disparities.

METHODS

Weekly, population‐representative panel data from 757 women aged 18–22, collected from 2008 to 2012 in Michigan, were drawn from the Relationship Dynamics and Social Life study. Univariate analyses assessed the prevalence of two forms of sexual concurrency. Multivariate logistic regression models investigated associations between women's social‐ecological characteristics and concurrency.

RESULTS

Twenty percent of women had vaginal intercourse with two partners in one week; 14% had intercourse with a second partner during an ongoing relationship. In both cases, the majority of individuals had intercourse with the second partner in one to three weeks in total. The likelihood of both types of concurrency was elevated among women who believed they should have sex with men after seeing them for a while (log‐odds, 0.27 and 0.23, respectively) and among those who were Black (0.58 and 1.02, respectively); the likelihood was reduced among women who were more willing to refuse unwanted sex (–0.10 and –0.13, respectively) and who were in exclusive, cohabiting, or married or engaged relationships (–1.82 to –2.64). Having intercourse with multiple partners in one week was also associated with receiving sex education from parents, the degree that parents and friends approved of sex, and having had early intercourse without contraception.

CONCLUSIONS

Sexual concurrency among young women is prevalent but intermittent, and interventions that address individuals’ social‐ecological contexts are needed to reduce negative health outcomes.
Hollow Bessel beams for guiding atoms between vacuum chambers: a proposal and efficiency study
Authors: Rivero D. , de Angelis V. S. , Beli C. , Moreno M. , Ambrosio L. A. , Courteille Ph. W.
Published: July 2020

We explore a scheme for guiding cold atoms through a hollow Bessel beam generated by a single axicon and a lens from a two-dimensional magneto-optical trap toward a science chamber. We compare the Bessel beam profiles measured along the optical axis to a numerical propagation of the beam’s wavefront, and we show how it is affected by diffraction during the passage through a long narrow funnel serving as a differential pumping tube between the chambers. We derive an approximate analytic expression for the intensity distribution of the Bessel beam and the dipolar optical force acting on the atoms. By a Monte-Carlo simulation based on a stochastic Runge–Kutta algorithm of the motion of atoms initially prepared at a given temperature, we show that a considerable enhancement of the transfer efficiency can be expected in the presence of a sufficiently intense Bessel beam.
Generation of synchronized wideband complex signals and its application in secure optical communication
Authors: Zhao Anke , Jiang Ning , Liu Shiqin , Zhang Yiqun , Qiu Kun
Published: July 2020

We propose and demonstrate a novel secure optical communication scheme, in which the message signal is encrypted and decrypted by two synchronized wideband complex signals. In our scheme, the wideband complex signals are generated by two private chaotic driving signals which are obtained from two local conventional external-cavity semiconductor lasers (ECSLs) subject to a common injection. Both the experimental and simulation results show that, the effective bandwidths of the chaotic driving signals are significantly improved and the time-delay signatures are completely suppressed, in virtue of the spectral broadening effect of chaotic phase-modulation and the phase-to-intensity conversion effect of dispersive components. Furthermore, the generated wideband complex signals are used as the optical carriers for achieving secure transmission. The message signal with a bit rate up to 10 Gb/s can be well hidden into the carrier, and cannot be recognized by the eavesdropper. The high-quality synchronization ensures that the message signal can be correctly recovered at the receiver.

Published: July 2020

We reported an electro-optically cavity-dumped Q-switched Er:Yb:YAl3(BO3)4 pulse laser for the first time. A 1531.1 nm pulse laser with an average output power of 521 mW, energy of 10 µJ, and a duration of 3.1 ns was achieved at a repetition rate of 100 kHz under the quasi-continuous-wave pumping. The pulse characteristics of the laser were investigated in detail. The result shows that the depolarization effects and the length of high voltage (HV) time applied to the EO-switch had significant impacts on the pulse characteristics.
Sub-bandgap photoexcited dynamics at an organic donor/acceptor photovoltaic interface
Authors: Zhang Maomao , Lu Qiuxia , Qu Fanyao , Gao Kun
Published: July 2020

Although sub-bandgap light absorption signals in organic donor/acceptor (D/A) photovoltaic systems have been studied extensively, the underlying origins, as well as the impacting factors, are still elusive. By theoretically constructing an organic D/A interface under a femtosecond electric pulse pumping, we obtain an insightful understanding of this issue. First, a careful comparison between the absorption spectra of the D/A interface and the individual donor (acceptor) demonstrates the existence of two weak absorption signals below the donor (acceptor) optical gap. Furthermore, we clarify that the lower-energy signal originates from “cold” charge transfer (CT) absorption, while the higher-energy signal is from “hot” CT absorption. Finally, effects of several key factors, such as the interface structure and the photoexciting condition, on CT absorptions are discussed. These findings should be of vital importance both to understand the sub-bandgap excited states and to recognize their roles in organic photovoltaic devices.
La delimitación territorial entre el Reino de Murcia y el Reino de Valencia durante la Edad Media: el amojonamiento del espacio fronterizo en el siglo XV
Authors: Barrio Barrio Juan Antonio
Published: July 2020

La Sentencia arbitral de Torrellas de 1304, no estableció unos límites territoriales precisos entre el reino de Murcia y el reino de Valencia, en torno al río Segura, planteó numerosos conflictos territoriales entre los habitantes que vivían a ambos lados de la frontera, ya que el devenir cotidiano se veía perturbado por las tensiones y conflictos que se suscitaban en torno al aprovechamiento económico en los espacios limítrofes o fronterizos y cuya resolución se trasladaba a las autoridades municipales de Murcia y Orihuela, los municipios más afectados por estas disputas. Esta situación se prolongó desde principios del siglo XIV hasta la segunda mitad del siglo XV, cuando las autoridades locales de dichas ciudades, decidieron acometer la definitiva y precisa delimitación territorial de sus respectivos espacios fronterizos y el correspondiente amojonamiento físico del territorio.
El sistema defensivo almohade del interior del Šarq al-Andalus frente a los cristianos. Origen, reestructuración y paralelos del sistema fronterizo de Albacete y Sur de Valencia (s. XII)
Authors: Franco-Sánchez Francisco
Published: July 2020

Se enuncian las principales características de los dos tipos de sistemas de control y defensa en al-Andalus: El sistema defensivo de control vial extendido en época omeya (ss. VIII-X) y el posterior sistema defensivo de carácter reticular implantado en la época almohade (s. XII). Se dedica especial atención a describir la frontera almohade en el norte de la Mancha Oriental e interior de Valencia. En este aspecto es esencial la crónica de Ibn Ṣāhib al-Ṣalā (m. 1182) titulada Al-Mann bi-l-imāma en que se describe cómo el califa almohade Abū Ya’qūb Yūsuf, a su regreso de la Campaña de Huete del 167 H./1172 e.C., durante su estancia en Murcia, tras recibir la sumisión de Ibn Mardanīš a la causa almohade, procede a la reforma administrativa y de las fronteras del Šarq al-Andalus. Se concluye que Ibn Mardanīš, tras su sumisión, les cede a los almohades esta frontera. Finalmente se aportan los datos de las circunscripciones administrativas almohades de la Mancha Oriental: Chinchilla, Villena, Peñas de San Pedro, sistema defensivo del Júcar, Alcaraz y Segura de la Sierra. Para concluir, se enuncia una lógica geopolítica para la conquista castellana de La Mancha Oriental y Murcia.

Awareness of the existence of Leishmaniasis as Protozoan Zoonosis in Indonesia
Authors: Ekawasti Fitrine , Martindah E
Published: July 2020

Leishmaniasis is a zoonosis, neglected and poorly reported disease, caused by the protozoan Leishmania spp, genus Leishmania, transmitted through several vector species including the sand fly (gnat) genus Phlebotomus. This disease has complex ecology and epidemiology. This paper presents about Leishmaniasis disease from epidemiological aspects and risk factors; parasites, vectors and reservoirs; diseases transmission and control. Leishmania spp. is an obligate intramacrophage protozoan, characterized by its kinetoplast, a unique form of mitochondrial DNA. Clinical manifestations of Leishmaniasis depend on interactions between the characteristics of Leishmania species and the human host immune response, resulting in a diseases spectrum ranging from local lesions on the skin to diffuse involvement of the reticuloendothelial system. There are four forms of Leishmaniasis in humans with various clinical manifestations, namely visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), also known as kala-azar (KA), Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL), Mucocutaneous Leishmaniasis (MCL) and Diffuse Cutaneous Leshmaniasis (DCL). Leishmaniasis caused by Leismania infantum is the most dangerous disease, but is never found in Indonesia. Leishmaniasis needs to be aware in Indonesia as tropical country that is suitable for the habitat of sand flies (Phlebotomus). The best method for controlling this disease is effective vector control and reduced contact between humans and vectors.
Práticas Vernaculares de Moderação Online em Grupos do Facebook
Authors: Silva Tarcízio Roberto da
Published: July 2020

O debate sobre moderação online é central nos estudos propositivos sobre iniciativas públicas deliberativas. A literatura científica sobre a questão propôs dezenas de critérios para mensuração da qualidade deliberativa dos ambientes, aplicadas na ideação e análise das iniciativas. Com a multiplicação dos espaços digitais relativamente abertos, tais como plataformas de mídias sociais, as práticas de coordenação, moderação e definição de regras para grupos de discussão e comunidades online parecem guardar similaridades emergentes com critérios deliberativos. O presente artigo discute a equivalência destes critérios a partir da análise dos textos de “Regras da Comunidade” em 15 grupos no Facebook sem fins deliberativos.

Published: July 2020

Diante do contexto de retrocesso e de descaracterização do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) é fundamental manter os esforços de efetivação dos princípios desenvolvendo práticas sustentadas no provimento de atenção à saúde justa. O objetivo deste estudo foi relatar a experiência de desenvolvimento da ferramenta de Educação Alimentar e Nutricional (EAN) denominada “Flor da escolha alimentar”. A Flor foi construída de forma interdisciplinar e interprofissional, a partir do trabalho de residentes em saúde da família, tutoras e preceptoras do programa de residência, profissionais servidoras da atenção primária à saúde e usuários do SUS. A ferramenta é o desenho de uma flor com seis pétalas de preenchimento individual para autoconhecimento e disparadora de discussões por meio dos temas: Acesso físico aos alimentos; Interferência da indústria na escolha alimentar; Influência do padrão de beleza; Impacto do tempo para alimentação; Respeito às preferências alimentares; e Impacto da renda na escolha alimentar. Tem como bases de discussão a promoção da alimentação adequada e saudável, os determinantes sociais da saúde e o distanciamento de posturas prescritivas e culpabilizantes. A divulgação do instrumento de EAN possibilita seu uso quando adaptado para diferentes realidades contribuindo com ações para o fortalecimento do SUS.

O objetivo desse estudo é analisar o processo de construção de uma proposta de ensino-aprendizagem baseada em projetos e investigar as contribuições dessa proposta para educação em saúde no ensino fundamental. Com aporte metodológico orientado pela pesquisa-ação, contempla um conjunto de ações desenvolvidas pelos pesquisadores em colaboração com uma escola no interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Após um processo formativo que contemplou aspectos da saúde na escola, doenças crônicas não transmissíveis, alimentação saudável e aspectos socioemocionais da prática docente, quatro docentes planejaram um projeto interdisciplinar de ensino-aprendizagem, desenvolvido com escolares do 6º e 7º anos, durante o ano letivo. Para o acompanhamento das ações foram utilizados questionários semiestruturados, entrevistas, diário de campo, registro fotográfico e observação participante. Os resultados demonstraram que o projeto foi desenvolvido a partir de discussões coletivas, considerando a realidade e especificidades do contexto escolar. As ações foram idealizadas e desenvolvidas de forma interdisciplinar e proporcionaram práticas pedagógicas em saúde planejadas e articuladas ao currículo, enfatizando a necessidade de apoio familiar no processo na construção de ambientes e atitudes mais saudáveis. Além disso, a potencialidade do trabalho colaborativo escola-universidade na promoção de melhorias no processo de ensino-aprendizagem foi evidenciada.

O imaginário erótico pessimista na poesia de Francisco Espinhara
Authors: Dantas Maia Jordy , Martins de Barros Melo José Eduardo
Published: July 2020

Este trabalho destaca a influência e as marcas do pessimismo na expressão erótica da obra poética de Francisco Espinhara, corroborando com BATAILLE que o poeta em estudo exacerbadamente traz o sentimentalismo entrelaçado no seu imaginário erótico[1] permeado pela solidão e pela angústia do homem contemporâneo, assim, como afirma Octávio Paz, “A solidão é o fundo último da condição humana. O homem é o único ser que se sente só e que procura outro” também só. Nesse sentido, esta expressão erótica é elemento preponderante de sua linguagem poética enquanto elemento transubstanciador de seus desejos e de suas frustrações que permeia entre o real e o imaginário. Desta forma, analisa-se a obra do autor pernambucano sob o prisma dos elementos distintivos da sensualidade e do erotismo enquanto particularidades de um fazer literário que se cobre pelo mundo das negatividades, tal como temos em grande parte da poesia brasileira contemporânea.

 

[1] O erotismo é sexualidade transfigurada: metáfora. A imaginação é o agente que move o ato erótico e o poético. (PAZ, 1994, p. 12).
