Authors: Chandler Madison C. , Bloom Josh , Fonseca Janna , Ramsey Kristen , De Maio Valerie J. , Callahan Christine E. , Register-Mihalik Johna K.
Published: June 2023

Context

Persistent postconcussion symptoms (PPCSs) are associated with lower health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents. Despite commonly cited criteria for PPCSs involving 3 or more complaints, many individuals experience just 1 or 2 symptoms that may still negatively affect HRQoL.

Objective

To determine differences in HRQoL between children and adolescents with 0, 1 to 2, or 3+ parent-reported persistent symptoms at 1 month postconcussion.

Design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting

Community practice clinics.

Patients or Other Participants

Individuals aged 8 to 18 years presented for the initial visit within 3 days of a sport- or recreation-related concussion. One month later, parents or guardians reported persistent symptoms using the Rivermead Post Concussion Symptoms Questionnaire (RPQ). Individuals with complete symptom data were analyzed (n = 236/245, n = 97 females, age = 14.3 ± 2.1 years). Participants were grouped by the number of discrete RPQ symptoms reported as worse than preinjury (0, 1–2, or 3+).

Main Outcome Measure(s)

Total summary and subscale scores on the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) 23-item HRQoL inventory and 18-item Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MDFS).

Results

Kruskal-Wallis rank sum tests highlighted differences in PedsQL HRQoL and MDFS total scores across symptom groups (PedsQL HRQoL: χ22 = 85.53, P < .001; MDFS: χ22 = 93.15, P < .001). Dunn post hoc analyses indicated all 3 groups were statistically significantly different from each other (P < .001). The median (interquartile range) values for the Peds QL Inventory HRQoL totals were 93.5 (84.2–98.8) for those with 0 symptoms; 84.8 (73.9–92.4) for those with 1 to 2 symptoms; and 70.7 (58.7–78.0) for those with 3+ symptoms. The median (interquartile range) values for the MDFS totals were 92.4 (76.4–98.6) for those with 0 symptoms; 78.5 (65.6–88.9) for those with 1 to 2 symptoms; and 54.2 (46.2–65.3) for those with 3+ symptoms. Similar group differences were observed for each PedsQL HRQoL and MDFS subscale score.

Conclusions

Children and adolescents whose parents reported 1 to 2 PPCSs had lower HRQoL and more fatigue than those with 0 symptoms. Across all 3 groups, those with 3+ persistent symptoms had the lowest HRQoL and most fatigue. These findings indicate the continued need for intervention in this age group to prevent and address PPCSs.
Gender role changes in African households: A challenge to theology and psychology
Authors: Khosa-Nkatini Hundzukani P. , Buqa Wonke , Machimana Nondumiso
Published: June 2023

Women empowerment is growing in South African communities and workplaces. More women are in executive positions which often require time away from home with the implication that their conversations with family and relatives are limited. As time change, the role of men changes in the family context especially in Africa. Gone are the days when women were told that they belong in the kitchen. More women step forward in the corporate world by taking up key leadership roles. The purpose of the Employment Equity Act (EEA) is to protect employees from unfair treatment. However, the implementation of affirmative action aims at measuring whether the challenges faced by the previously disadvantaged groups, and factors such as age, gender, ethnicity and disability regarding basic employment conditions are still questionable. Some women earn more than their husbands, compared to the past when men were the breadwinners of the household, particularly in black communities. In this article is discussed the factors contributing to black men’s gender role changing in the household from a theological and psychological perspective.Contribution: The contextual perspective of this research is contributed by the African men’s concern regarding cultural beliefs and practices relating to gender role changes in households. The contribution of this article is to inform people about factors, which African men experience in gender role changes in households from both a theological and psychological perspective. This research is done using a literature review; thus, a multi-disciplinary approach, which seeks to provide knowledge and encourage African black men to embrace gender transformation roles in households.
Dorsal inlay inner preputial graft repair versus ventral-only preputial graft repair in primary distal penile hypospadias with narrow urethral plate
Authors: Omar Rabea Gomaa , Khalil Mostafa M. , Shereef Hammouda W. , Al Ashram Mahmoud R. , Elshaer Alaa
Published: June 2023

Background:

Tubularized incised plate (TIP) is the most common technique used for distal hypospadias repair with good outcome but with a high rate of urethral stricture. Inner preputial-free graft can be used as an inlay graft in the incised area of the narrow urethral plate, also can be used as an onlay graft for urethroplasty in hypospadias repair to avoid this complication.

Patients and Methods:

A comparative prospective randomized study was conducted on two groups of hypospadias patients with narrow urethral plate. Group A: dorsal inlay inner preputial graft repair was performed (grafted TIP [G-TIP]) and Group B: ventral onlay preputial graft repair was performed. The assessment of outcome and hypospadias objective scoring evaluation (HOSE) score was done at 2 weeks and 6 months.

Results:

Group A included 55 patients for whom dorsal inlay inner preputial graft repair was performed (G-TIP), and Group B which was planned to be conducted on 55 patients using onlay preputial graft (onlay graft) but was terminated after 15 cases due to high failure rate (33%). Group A showed better success rate 96% and better HOSE score (score 16) at 2 months and 6 months 83.6% and 88.2% versus 26.7% and 33.3% in Group B. Postoperative complications showed a statistically significant difference; glans dehiscence (3.6% vs. 40%), wound infection (1.8% vs. 33.3%), and skin sloughing (3.6% vs. 26.7%) in Groups A and B, respectively.

Conclusion:

G-TIP is a good technique for the management of distal hypospadias with narrow urethral plate with good success rate, cosmetic outcome, and with less complications compared to onlay graft.

Published: June 2023

Objective:

Varicocele, the dilation of the pampiniform plexus of the spermatic cord. It is discovered incidentally in most patients. Symptoms vary, but its impact is especially experienced in the field of fertility and reflected in semen parameters. Varicocelectomy is a surgical approach to correct the varicocele, however, reports are conflicting regarding its success. Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy of varicocelectomy on semen parameters and conception rates in patients who underwent surgery and its association with comorbidities such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study included the complete medical records of 86 patients. Data collection form included the patient’s age, body mass index (BMI), chronic diseases, smoking, surgical history, medication usage, and the reason for performing surgery. Presurgical and postsurgical semen parameters were evaluated 3 months before surgery and an average of 6 months postoperatively. Data were analyzed with SPSS, Chi-square test, and independent and paired t-test.

Results:

No significant difference was found between primary and secondary infertility regarding semen analysis, postoperative semen analysis indicated an improvement in semen motility at 180 min with no effect on other parameters. Using spontaneous intercourse or in vitro fertilization (IVF) after varicocelectomy was significantly associated with increasing conception rates irrespective of the type of infertility. Diabetes, hypertension, BMI, and smoking did not appear to affect semen parameters.

Conclusion:

Patients who underwent varicocelectomy had improved sperm motility at 180 min and subsequently had a higher chance of successful conception either through spontaneous intercourse or IVF. Further studies are needed to understand the relationship between conception and sperm motility. Semen parameters were not affected if the patient had comorbidities such as diabetes and hypertension. Furthermore, smoking and BMI did not appear to affect the conception rate.

Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between body mass index (BMI) and self-rated health (SRH) in older adults aged over 65 years while examining the influence of self-perceived body image (SBI) and sex.METHODS: Raw data were obtained from the Korea Community Health Survey, which included BMI measurements of Koreans aged over 65 years (n=59,628). Non-linear relationships between BMI and SRH were analyzed separately for each sex using restricted cubic splines while controlling for SBI and other confounding variables.RESULTS: Men showed a reverse J-shaped association, while women showed a J-shaped association between BMI and poor SRH. However, including SBI in the model changed this association for men to an inverted U-shape showing a negative direction, with the highest risk of poor SRH observed in the underweight to overweight range. For women, a nearly linear positive relationship was observed. Regardless of BMI, those who perceived their weight as not “exactly the right weight” had a higher risk of poor SRH than those who perceived their weight as “exactly the right weight” in both men and women. Older men who thought they were much too fat or too thin had similar highest risks of poor SRH, whereas older women who thought they were too thin had the highest risk of poor SRH.CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study emphasize the importance of considering sex and body image perceptions when assessing the relationship between BMI and SRH in older adults, especially in men.

Translation Epistemology: Implied and Expressed

The starting point for determining the nature of translation epistemology, which develops in parallel to the philosophical theory of cognition, is to distinguish an internal epistemology that permeates the field of translation communication – one of the varieties of verbal textual communication. Its goals are cognitive and exploratory. Cognition refers to the essence of translational communication, exploration refers to the forms differentiating this type of communication. I define translation as the interlingual re-editing of a ready text; and in the space of textual communication it generates seven fundamental components: 1. foreign-language originals or foreign-language translations, 2. mental translations (paratexts), 3. complete translations, 4. fragmentary translations, 5. translation-like structures, 6. translational reflections, and 7. translational fantasies. In this area the epistemology of translation is equivalent to the documentalist’s epistemology. For the translator, any textual structure, subjected to interlingual re-editing, becomes a document as well as a task. In the process of translation, cognitive activity is intertwined with praxeological one, the acquisition of knowledge is combined with the improvement of the craft of translation, the concurrence of cognition and skill prevails. The whole epistemological activity of translators and translation scholars, implicit and explicit, consists in the fact that the translator repeats the hypothetical path of the original author, while the translation scholar repeats bot the hypothetical path of the translator and the hypothetical path of the original author.
Zabawa w piekło-niebo: własna twórczość Romana Kołakowskiego a jego przekłady The Tiger Lillies

Between Heaven and Hell: Roman Kołakowski’s Poetry and His Translations of The Tiger Lillies

Songs of The Tiger Lillies, a “punk cabaret” group from London, entered the Polish- speaking culture mostly through the translations by Roman Kołakowski. Translation formed just one of many fields of artistic activity of Kołakowski, who was also a poet, a songwriter, a performer, and a theatre director. There exists, however, a striking contrast between the style of the Kołakowski’s own oeuvre and his translation choices. His poetry is mostly religious, patriotic, marked by a solemn tone and elevated register, while The Tiger Lillies delight in ridicule, irony, and perversion, mocking religion in an almost blasphemous way. The paper is an attempt at analysing this contrast and searching for its assumed sources. The target texts are found to be marked by significant semantic and stylistic modifications when compared to the original songs. Amplification of religious tropes and of negative views on modern society is identified as the main form of the translator’s interventions. Based on the comparison of Kołakowski’s translations with his own poetry, it is posited that their ostensible discrepancy may be explained by perceiving the translations as a subsidiary field of artistic expression, where the translator pursues his interests in grimmer aspects of morality and society, expressing them in a form that would not be coherent with his own poetry. Consequently, Kołakowski’s translations of The Tiger Lillies’ songs are considered appropriations in a sense that the translational choices are directed by the translator’s own interests, ideological stance, and sensibilities, rather than by any attempted equivalence with the source texts. It is to be hoped that the paper will form an in itation to further investigations of translational agency in the field of song translation.
Katherine Mansfield – tłumaczka Stanisława Wyspiańskiego – Sędziowie

Katherine Mansfield – the Translator of Stanisław Wyspiański’s The Judges

In 2014 Edinburgh University Press published the third volume of Katherine Mansfield’s “Collected Works” – The Poetry and Critical Writings of Katherine Mansfield – which included all her translations, not only those of the works by A. Kuprin, A. Chekhov and F. Dostoyevsky, but for the first time also fragments of The Judges (Sędziowie) by Stanisław Wyspiański. The article explains a possible genesis of this translation, connected with the person of Florian Sobieniowski, who acquainted Mansfield with the work of the Polish playwright. The influence of Wyspiański on Mansfield was considerable at the time and might have been instrumental in her decision to undertake the translation already in 1909, or perhaps later, around 1912, when John Middleton Murry, the editor of Rhythm, decided to devote a whole issue of the magazine to the work of the Polish author. The translation may have also been done in 1917, the year entered on the manuscript by Murry, Mansfield’s husband and the editor of her work after the writer’s death. Mansfield did not know Polish, so she used the German translation of Sędziowie (Gericht) by Kasimir Różycki as a reference. Her translation, however, more faithful to the original, goes beyond the German text, which is a prose summary of the play. To show the quality of Mansfield’s translation, the article compares the solutions adopted by each translator to render the meaning of the same fragments of the play. Mansfield’s version suggests a close collaboration with Sobieniowski to find the rhythm, sound and meaning of the original, a pattern of work which she fully developed in her later translating collaboration with Samuel Koteliansky.

Published: June 2023

Ornaments are the marker of culture, tradition, status, passion and personality. Sometimes those heavy ornaments cause trauma and recurrent infection in the piercing-hole of ear, which may lead to enlargement of the piercing hole. To restore the, enlarged piercing hole; in Ayurved we have techniques like scraping and suturing of the piercing-hole edges, which is also practiced by modern advanced surgery. Kshara (alkali) is an Anushashtra; it performs the Lekhana (scraping), Chhedana (excision), Bhedana (incision), Ropana (healing) and also ceases the bleeding.  Because of these properties, Kshara can also be used to restore the enlarged piercing-hole of ear. The Kshara causes ulceration of the piercing-edges and induces healing through the inflammation, proliferation and remodeling phases. There were inflammation, secretion and gradually the piercing hole healed. Based on this concept, we have tried to restore the piercing hole of the ear through Ksharakarma and an ideal protocol is made for this procedure.

20. yüzyıldan bu yana birçok farklı alana konu olan sosyal sermaye önemi giderek artan bir kavramdır. Sosyal sermaye toplumda güvene dayalı kalkınmanın oluşmasına kaynaklık eden değerlerin birikimi olarak, yenilik kavramı ise yeni ve faydalı iş ürünlerinin, prosedürlerin ve süreçlerin bilinçli olarak uygulanması olarak belirtilebilir. Yenilik, yenilikçi bir ortamın olduğu yerde gerçekleşebilir. Bu ortamın gelişmesinde ise sosyal sermayenin önemli bir rolü vardır. Yenilikçi davranış, problemlerin tanınmasını, fikirleri destekleyecek alt yapıların oluşturulmasını ve fikirlerin uygulanmasını kapsayan çok aşamalı bir süreci ifade eder. Yenilikçi davranışın işletmelerde rekabeti artıran stratejik bir etken olarak düşünülmesi ise sosyal sermayenin çalışanların yenilikçi davranışlarındaki rolünün inceleme konusu olmasına yol açmıştır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın amacı, Denizli ilinde faaliyet gösteren tekstil firmalarında görev yapan beyaz yakalı çalışanların yenilikçi davranışlarında sosyal sermayenin rol oynayıp oynamadığının incelenmesidir. Çalışmada yapılan korelasyon ve regresyon analizlerinde sosyal sermaye ve yenilikçi davranış arasında pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı bir ilişki ortaya çıkmıştır.
In Vitro Compatibility of Entomopathogenic Fungi Beauveria Bassiana (Bals.) Vuill. with Different Fungicides
Authors: ERDOĞAN Oktay , SAĞLAN Zehra
Published: June 2023

Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) Vuillemin is one of the entomopathogenic fungi used against broad host insects and plant pathogens. Fungicides have side effects on entomopathogenic fungi. In vitro assay was performed to examine the compatibility of B. bassiana with eight commonly used fungicides (Azoxystrobin 75 g/l+Metalaxyl-m 37.5 g/l+ Fludioxonil 12.5 g/l FS, Boscalid 25%+ Pyraclostrobin 12% WG, Copper Hydroxide 361.1 g/l SC, Azoxystrobin 250 g/l SC, Triticonazole 80 g/l + Pyraclostrobin 40 g/l FS, Fludioxonil 12.5 g/l + Metalaxyl 10 g/l SC, Captan 50% WP, Tebuconazole 250 g/l EC) using contact application technique. Fungicides at various concentrations (Recommend Dose-RD, half of the Recommend Dose-0.5 x RD and twice the Recommend Dose-2 x RD) were mixed in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) media post-autoclaving. Approximately 25 ml of the mixture was poured into a Petri dish (90 mm) and allowed to cool. Mycelium disc (5 mm in diameter) was taken from 14-days-old B. bassiana grown on PDA using a sterile cork borer and placed in the center of each Petri dish containing fungicide + PDA. PDA plates without fungicide were used as a control. Petri dishes were incubated in the dark at 25±1 °C for 14 days. In vitro experiments were carried out with three replicates depending on a completely randomized plots design. In the study, the compatible fungicide with B. bassiana ET 10 isolate was found to be Copper Hydroxide at 0.5 x RD concentration. Azoxystrobin and Copper Hydroxide were compatible with Bb 18 isolate. Only two (Azoxystrobin + Metalaxyl-m + Fludioxonil and Tebuconazole) of the eight fungicides completely inhibited the mycelial growth of ET 10 isolate and were found harmful. Azoxystrobin + Metalaxyl-m + Fludioxonil completely inhibited the growth of Bb 18 isolate and was not found compatible. This study clearly shows that fungicides have the potential to inhibit the mycelial growth of entomopathogenic fungi under in vitro conditions. However, these results need to be further verified in vitro under both greenhouse and open-field conditions.
Ultrases Uygulamasının Süt Bileşenleri Üzerine Etkisi

Günümüzde tüketicilerin katkı maddesi ve koruyucu içermeyen, doğal tat ve aromaya sahip, besinsel değeri yüksek gıda ürünlerini tercih etmesi; yenilikçi/ısıl olmayan gıda işleme proseslerinin geliştirilmesini sağlamıştır. Bu kapsamda, sıvı gıdaların işlenmesinde özellikle ultrases ön plana çıkmaktadır. Ultrases insan kulağının duyduğu 16 kHz ile 20 kHz düzeyinden daha yüksek frekansa sahip ses dalgaları tarafından oluşturulan bir enerji türüdür. Yüksek frekanslı ultrases analitik ölçüm tekniği olarak gıdaların çeşitli fizikokimyasal özelliklerin ölçülmesinde kullanılırken, düşük frekanslı ultrases gıdaların fiziksel ve kimyasal özelliklerini değiştirmek amacıyla uygulanmaktadır. Ultrases saf inorganik sistemlere uygulandığında oluşan serbest radikallerin okside olması veya indirgenmesi meydana gelmektedir. Ancak, gıda gibi kompleks bir sisteme ultrases uygulanması kimyasal reaksiyonların çok çeşitli olmasına neden olmaktadır. Nitekim, süt ve süt ürünlerinde 20-25 kHz düzeyinde ultrases uygulaması çeşitli fiziksel değişimler meydana getirirken 2 MHz’ e kadar yüksek frekans ultrases uygulaması güçlü kimyasal reaksiyonlara sebep olmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı ultrases uygulamasının süt bileşenleri üzerine etkilerini fikizel ve kimyasal kimyasal değişimler açısından detaylı bir şekilde ortaya konmasıdır.

Authors: EROĞLU Halil Erhan
Published: June 2023

The family Canidae is placed in the suborder Caniformia in the order Carnivora. There are both domestic and wild species in Canidae. The family consists of at least 35 wild species in 13 genera. The number of chromosomes in Canidae is divided into 2 groups. (i) The chromosome numbers are 2n = 54, 66, 74, 76, and 78 with mostly acrocentric autosomes. (ii) The chromosome numbers are 2n = 34, 36, 38, and 50 with mostly metacentric and submetacentric autosomes. The formula S/AI measure the symmetry or asymmetry of karyotype in higher animals and humans. In this study, the formula was applied to the Canidae species. After obtaining karyotype formulae with a detailed literature review, S/AI data and karyotype types of 25 female taxa and 17 male taxa were determined. According to the S/AI values, a dendrogram was drawn showing karyological variations among the taxa. The results will contribute to the phylogeny of mammals.

Micromanipulação de partículas superparamagnéticas utilizando feixes de Bessel e estudo das interações DNA-líquidos iônicos
Authors:   , Andrade Ulisses Moreira Silveira
Published: June 2023

Este trabalho está dividido em duas partes. Na primeira, propomos uma pinça óptica que utiliza um feixe de Bessel e é capaz de capturar de forma estável microesferas superparamagnéticas. A constante de força é praticamente independente do raio do feixe de Bessel e da altura da microesfera (distância medida em relação à lamínula), indicando que as microesferas podem ser capturadas com alta precisão dentro de uma ampla faixa de valores desses parâmetros. Por outro lado, a constante de força exibe o aumento linear esperado com a potência do laser, apesar do coeﬁciente de absorção das esferas superparamagnéticas não ser desprezível. Um modelo de óptica geométrica que considera a aberração esférica e a absorção de luz pelas microesfe- ras foi utilizado para prever a constante de força, apresentando excelente concordância com os dados experimentais. Os resultados aqui apresentados avançam no campo da manipulação de aprisionamento óptico de partículas magnéticas absorventes, e aplicações futuras envolvem, por exemplo, o projeto de novas pinças híbridas optomagnéticas. Na segunda parte, realiza- mos uma caracterização robusta das interações moleculares entre a molécula de DNA e dois líquidos iônicos à base de imidazólio (LIs): cloreto de 1-butil-3-metilimidazólio ([bmim]Cl) e 1-octil-3- cloreto de metilimidazólio ([omim]Cl), usando abordagens de molécula única (pinças ópticas e magnéticas) e técnicas de múltiplas moléculas (calorimetria isotérmica de titulação e condutometria). As pinças ópticas e magnéticas permitiram obter as alterações nas proprieda- des mecânicas dos complexos de DNA formados com os dois LIs, bem como os parâmetros físico-químicos (de ligação) relevantes da interação. Apesar da fraca interação medida entre o DNA e os LIs, identiﬁcamos uma transição no regime de elasticidade do polímero dos comple- xos formados, o que resulta em uma compactação relevante do DNA para altas concentrações dos líquidos iônicos. Além disso, a calorimetria de titulação isotérmica e a condutometria com- plementaram os estudos de moléculas únicas, fornecendo uma caracterização termodinâmica completa das interações e permitindo a identiﬁcação das forças motrizes mais relevantes em várias faixas de concentração dos LIs. Com base nos resultados obtidos com todas as técnicas empregadas, propomos um modelo para os esquemas de ligação envolvendo DNA e [bmim]Cl e [omim]Cl. Palavras-chave: Pinça óptica holográﬁca. Pinça magnética. moléculas únicas. DNA.
Auto-organização celular em cultura: do acaso à mobilidade dirigida por gradientes induzidos por células
Authors:   , Molica Kelly Aparecida
Published: June 2023

A agregação celular envolve os processos de movimento, de desprendimento de par- tículas, de aderência e de colisões que são essenciais para a regeneração de tecidos, a morfogênese e a progressão do câncer. Neste sentido, nosso trabalho propõe um modelo baseado em agentes híbrido para a agregação celular observada em cultura de monocamada. Assim, consideramos o candidato mais simples para esse sistema o CCA (Cluster Cluster Aggregation) e incluímos as ações de morte, replicação e despren- dimento de partículas. Investigou-se os efeitos de cada ação no modelo CCA com foco no padrão das estruturas geradas na simulação e na evolução dos agregados ao longo do tempo. Os resultados mostram que no modelo original as formas dos agregados são ramiﬁcadas e as funções de distribuição de tamanho (quantidade de agregados de tamanho s no tempo t) exibem comportamento em lei de potência para alguns regimes. A adição de replicação no modelo original altera o padrão das estruturas dos agregados, elas tornam-se maiores rapidamente e possuem formas mais compac- tas. Por sua vez, a morte no modelo CCA altera o comportamento da lei de escala para um decaimento exponencial, o que indica presença de tamanho característico. O desprendimento de partículas também altera o padrão das estruturas e a função de distribuição ao longo do tempo. Além disso, consideramos todas as ações simultane- amente no modelo CCA e alteramos o movimento browniano dos agregados para um movimento guiado por sinais químicos (quimiotaxia) via equação de difusão. Neste caso, o padrão dos agregados é alterado e as funções de distribuição também modi- ﬁcam seu comportamento. Além da perspectiva obtida via simulação, estudamos a dinâmica da agregação por meio da equação de taxa proposta por Smoluchowski com inserção dos termos de morte, desprendimento de partículas e replicação. Embora es- sas equações sejam resolvidas numericamente com pouco custo computacional não consideram informações espaciais relevantes para o contexto estudado. Palavras-chave: Formação de padrões. Matéria ativa viva. Fenômenos de agregação.
Sociedade Libertadora Sete de Setembro
Authors: Bento Chastinet
Published: June 2023

A partir da análise de inventários, testamentos, livros de notas, passaportes e periódicos publicados na Província da Bahia e em outras partes do Império brasileiro no século XIX, este artigo busca compreender a trajetória da crioula liberta Leonarda Maria da Conceição e sua rede familiar, bem como sua relação com a Sociedade Libertadora Sete de Setembro, uma importante agremiação emancipacionista baiana nos anos de 1870. Proponho-me a responder de que modo a Sociedade Libertadora Sete de Setembro entrecruzou o caminho dessa família negra. Ademais, é objetivo deste artigo também compreender em que medida a trajetória dessa família em particular ilumina outras lutas pela liberdade e de como a relação da mãe negra com os seus filhos foi utilizada pelos emancipacionistas e o que isso poderia representar.
antítese neopentecostal:
Authors: Oliveira Daniel
Published: June 2023

Em 23 de setembro de 1995, a Associação Evangélica Brasileira (AEVB) emitiu um manifesto opondo-se às práticas “anti-Evangelho” da Igreja Universal do Reino de Deus (IURD) e de seu líder. Esse documento “desautorizava” a IURD a se manifestar em nome de todos os evangélicos. Atualmente, ainda existe um movimento interno que – embora esteja longe de representar a maior parcela – é resistente e antitético, por exemplo, ao bolsonarismo e seus aliados engajados na cúpula da bancada evangélica brasileira. Buscamos analisar esse movimento em oposição ao neopentecostalismo e evidenciar que, ao contrário do que se possa ligeiramente concluir, o movimento neopentecostal encontrou resistência já em suas primeiras representações no Brasil. Trataremos da figura do Reverendo Caio Fábio d’Araújo Filho como um sujeito globalizante dessas posturas antitéticas.
Socio - Cultural Factors Influencing Uptake of Long Term and Permanent Methods of Family Planning Among Women of Reproductive Age in Baringo North Sub-County, Baringo County, Kenya
Authors: Kipngo’k Emily , Kereka Margaret , Tuitoek Kipruto
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of utilization of long-acting permanent methods (LAPMs) of family planning (FP) among women in Ossen Location, Baringo North Sub-County of Kenya, and to determine the influence of myths and misconceptions on women’s choice about LAPMs options.

Methodology: This study adopted a descriptive cross-sectional design and a mixed method research (MMR) approach, which allowed for concomitant collection of qualitative and quantitative data. The target population of the study consisted of all 2440 women of reproductive ages (15-49 years) in Ossen location.  The sample size consisted of 421 women, selected using stratified random sampling.  Women willing to participate, able to give informed consent, in reproductive age, and having resided in the area for at least six months were included in the study.   

Findings:  The prevalence of FP in the study area was 66%, with more women (61%) using short term FP methods (pills and Depo-Provera) compared to those using long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (implants and intra-uterine contraceptive devices/IUCD) [39%] and LAPM/tubal ligation (0%).  The study found significant myths and misconceptions about LAPMs: IUCD, tubal ligation and implants. The study found that women who harbored myths and misconceptions about IUCD, tubal ligation and implants were likely to use short-term FP methods such as pills rather than LAPMs.

Unique Contributions to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study reports on interesting myths and misconceptions still extant among women in a typical county in Kenya.  The research also documents a clear relationship between the existence of myths and misconceptions and the unlikelihood of using LAPMs.  Consequently, the study recommends for adoption of approaches that remove the myths and misconceptions in the whole population and improve the poor attitude and negative perception towards LAPMs.
