Linguistic Services for Hospitalized Children With Non-English Language Preference: A PRIS Network Survey
Authors: Rajbhandari Prabi , Glick Alexander F. , Brown Miraides F. , VanGeest Jonathan
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

Linguistic services, including verbal interpretation and written translation, are critical to providing equitable health care for families with non-English language preference (NELP). Despite evidence of provider disuse and misuse of linguistic services and resultant adverse outcomes, few studies have assessed the practices of pediatric hospitalists related to the use of linguistic services. Our objectives were to evaluate the current practices of communication and linguistic services used by pediatric hospitalists for hospitalized children with NELP and the barriers encountered in their use.

METHODS

We conducted a multicenter cross-sectional survey of pediatric hospitalist site leaders through the Pediatric Research in Inpatient Setting network, an independent, hospital-based research network. The survey was created through an iterative process and underwent a face validation process with hospitalists and a survey methodology expert.

RESULTS

We received responses from 72 out of 112 hospitalists (64%). Interpreter services were available widely; translation services were available in 49% of institutions. Difficulty accessing the services timely was reported as the most common barrier. Among respondents, 64% “strongly agree” or “somewhat agree” that they visit and give updates more frequently to English-speaking families than to NELP. Hospitalists reported using interpreter services “always” during 65% of admissions, 57% of discharges, and 40% on rounds.

CONCLUSIONS

Families with NELP do not receive appropriate linguistic care when hospitalized. Providers update English-speaking families more frequently than non-English speaking families. Future directions include optimizing workflow to reduce the time constraints on hospitalists and increasing the timeliness and quality of interpreters and translators.
A tentativa de assentamento de apátridas assírios no Brasil dos anos de 1930
Authors: Scandolara Daniel Lorenzo Gemelli
Published: February 2023

O fim da Primeira Guerra Mundial, a dissolução de impérios multiétnicos e, consequentemente, a crise de refugiados e apátridas, representou um severo desafi o a diversos países, europeus ou não, no que diz respeito ao acolhimento de novos grupos sociais, culturais e nacionais. Entre estes países estava o Brasil, que desde o fim da Guerra, incentivara a imigração e que, após o Golpe de 1930, continuara com a mesma postura – não obstante, com adaptações críticas quanto à religiosidade e à etnia dos imigrantes. Vargas desejava a colonização de terras agricultáveis ociosas, ao mesmo passo que ansiava que isto fosse feito, a priori, por colonos brancos e católicos romanos. Nesta lacuna, portanto, inseriu-se um contingente de milhares de assírios feitos apátridas com o fim do confl ito mundial, os quais permaneciam tutelados pelo jugo britânico, mas precisavam, urgentemente, de um novo lar. Neste sentido, este artigo propõe uma avaliação da tentativa de assentamento de assírios no Brasil nos anos 30 através de olhares de teoria político-sociológica de identidade, migração e fronteiras. Com este intuito, buscamos não só levantar questões e trazer novas dúvidas, mas bem como conjecturar as razões da recusa do governo brasileiro de acolher tais assírios para além da questão racial, patente na sociedade brasileira daquele período. Para tal fim, o texto divide-se em duas partes: a primeira, de cunho historiográfi co e que relata os eventos ocorridos naquelas circunstâncias; e a segunda, que aproveita a informação de relato da seção anterior e lança luz a tais pelo uso de teoria político-sociológica.
Generalized Forms of an Overconstrained Sliding Mechanism Consisting of Two Congruent Tetrahedra
Authors: Makai Endre , Tarnai Tibor
Published: February 2023

The motions of a bar structure consisting of two congruent tetrahedra are investigated, whose edges in their basic position are the face diagonals of a rectangular parallelepiped. The constraint of the motion is the following: the originally intersecting edges have to remain coplanar. All finite motions of our bar structure are determined. This generalizes our earlier work, where we did the same for the case when the rectangular parallelepiped was a cube. At the end of the paper we point out three further possibilities to generalize the question about the cube, and give for them examples of finite motions.
Optimization of excitation and emission wavelengths for the UHPLC fluorescence detector for priority polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Authors: İzgi Belgin , Kander Selman
Published: February 2023

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that are widely distributed in the environment and cause significant environmental damage. Furthermore, they endanger human health by polluting food from the natural environment and food processing. Therefore, it is necessary to accurately detect PAHs in various sample matrices, which requires precise, practical, and rapid detection methods. The purpose of this research is to develop a high sensitivity analysis method by analyzing the optimum excitation and emission wavelengths of EPA's 15 priority polyaromatic hydrocarbons in the UHPLC fluorescence detector (Acenaphthene, Anthracene, Benzo[a]anthracene, Benzo[b]fluoranthene, Benzo[k]fluoranthene, Benzo[ghi]perylene, Benzo[a]pyrene, Chrysene, Dibenzo[a,h]anthracene, Fluoranthene, Fluorene, Indeno[1,2,3-cd]pyrene, Naphthalene, Phenanthrene, and Pyrene). An average of 17–25 analyses were performed for each polyaromatic hydrocarbon, and optimized excitation and emission wavelengths were obtained. LOD levels between 2 and 90 ppt were obtained with the method created in this direction. It is worth mentioning that the limits achieved for some PAH parameters are lower than those reported in the literature after pre-concentration steps.
Belief Formation in the Social Context: A Bayesian Decision Account
Authors: Rigoli Francesco
Published: February 2023

A recent computational model argues that people’s beliefs arise from two basic sources: a motivation to be accurate plus other forms of motivation such as pursuing economic interests. Yet, this previous proposal has focused exclusively on the individual level of analysis, neglecting the question of how social contexts shape belief formation. The present paper addresses this by examining how group dynamics underpin the formation of beliefs. The argument is that different social groups vary in their beliefs because, at least to some degree, each group acquires different life experiences and is motivated by different incentives. At the same time, the proposal is that each group can influence other groups’ beliefs in three ways: by expressing opinions to other groups, by affecting the experiences acquired by other groups, and by setting incentives for other groups. This picture suggests that, within a community, three types of groups can often be identified: (a) the dominant groups, defined as those particularly capable of affecting other groups’ experiences and incentives; (b) the intellectual groups, regarded as those whose opinions are particularly influential; and (c) the subaltern groups, encompassing people with minimal power to affect beliefs of others. By examining influence dynamics among these groups, the paper investigates how consensus or disagreement emerge within a community. Altogether,  the paper offers insight on the interaction between social dynamics and psychological mechanisms that contribute to shape people’s beliefs.
Between Career and Motherhood: Factors Affecting Women’s Career Trajectories After Childbirth in Russia
Authors: Gasiukova Elena N.
Published: February 2023

The paper puts forward the idea that a woman’s class (occupational position) contributes to the formation of certain orientations and values, which further determine a woman’s choice in favor of particular labor and life trajectory after the childbirth. The authors follow the career trajectory of women after the childbirth in Russia to determine which women are more career-oriented and which are more family-oriented. For this, “Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey–Higher School of Economics” (RLMS-HSE) panel data from 2001–2021 are employed. Drawing on a six-year period—the year before the birth and four years after the childbirth—the authors construct the sequences of various status changes (employed, unemployed, parental leave) and identify the featured patterns of mothers’ career trajectories. The authors also analyze the number of years it took for women to return to the labor market after the childbirth. It is assumed that a later entry into the labor market suggests that women are less career-oriented, and vice versa. Additionally, the factors affecting the decision to return to the labor market earlier or later are evaluated. The results of the implemented analysis (an ordinal logistic regression and a multinomial regression) show that women from the higher class tend to return to the labor market quickly, while women from the middle and working class delay entry into the workforce or refuse to develop a career.
Hotel Employees’ Attitude and Acceptance Toward Human-Robot Co-Working Based on the Industry 5.0 Concept
Authors: Ghazy Khaled , Fedorova Alena E.
Published: February 2023

The emergence of AI-powered machines and robotics technology has strongly influenced the service industry, especially the hotel business. The effects of their introduction to the work environment on the human workforce have been a subject of much debate. However, practical studies in this regard are relatively limited. Therefore, this study investigates the employees’ attitude and acceptance toward working alongside robots in a sample of employees working in luxury hotels in Yekaterinburg, Russia. This study employed a self-administered questionnaire as the data collection instrument. Two hundred questionnaire forms were distributed. Among them, 167 forms were completed and valid for analysis. Data were analyzed descriptively using IBM SPSS (Version 28). The findings revealed that, although the employees agreed to interact with robots and indicated that robots are helpful, enjoyable, and productive, they also pointed out that robots would control jobs. Besides, the extensive introduction of robots will lead to social issues such as losing contact with humans. The study conclusion has practical implications for hotel managers and can guide further research for academics.
Dreams in the Bible and in Modern English Discourse: A Shift in Perspective
Authors: Smirnova Alexandra Yu. , Tolochin Igor V.
Published: February 2023

This paper investigates the linguistic aspect of the phenomenon of secularisation, using as example the English word “dream.” Comparative analysis of the linguistic structure of the dream narratives in the Bible and in modern English texts allowed us to discern two major secularisation trends—humanizing the divine and mystifying the human. In the Bible, entering into contact with the divine while asleep is always evaluated ambivalently: one is fascinated by the great favour and fears for one’s life. In modern religious discourse, the growing number of dream narratives manifest the positive evaluation of the contact with the divine as comforting. The second tendency consists in the transfer of transcendental experiences from the religious sphere into the sphere of narratives describing human mind and emotions. Here, the ambivalent experience springs up from the mysterious depths of the subconscious. At the lexical level, both tendencies result in new senses of the word “dream” as well as in important changes in the narrative structure of texts relating dream experiences. In the end, we provide a dictionary entry for the English noun “dream”.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar o impacto do uso de checklists no tempo médio dos processos operatórios de pacientes submetidos a artroplastias de quadril e joelho. Método: pesquisa transversal e analítica realizada entre novembro/2020 e março/2022 com consulta retrospectiva em amostra aleatória simples de 291 prontuários, distribuídos em três períodos (2010/2013/2016). Utilizou-se estatística descritiva e inferencial para análise dos dados; valores de p=0,05 indicaram significância. Resultados: houve redução do tempo de entrada-saída da sala cirúrgica (p=0,002), de cirurgia (p<0,001) e entre o início-anestesia e início-incisão (p=0,021). Não houve diferença no tempo entre os pacientes com e sem o uso dos checklists (p=0,05) com relação às variáveis início-anestesia, início-incisão, tempo de anestesia e de cirurgia. Conclusão: a implantação de checklists potencialmente contribuiu para reduzir o tempo de uso da sala cirúrgica. A não associação de seu uso ao aumento do tempo médio dos processos no centro cirúrgico mostra que sua aplicação não interfere negativamente nesse indicador.

Authors: Lapo-Talledo German Josuet , Talledo-Delgado Jorge Andrés , Fernández-Aballí Lilian Sosa
Published: February 2023

This study aimed to analyze the effect of sociodemographic characteristics on COVID-19 in-hospital mortality in Ecuador from March 1 to December 31, 2020. This retrospective longitudinal study was performed with data from publicly accessible registries of the Ecuadorian National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC). Data underwent a competing risk analysis with estimates of the cumulative incidence function (CIF). The effect of covariates on CIFs was estimated using the Fine-Gray model and results were expressed as adjusted subdistribution hazard ratios (SHR). The analysis included 30,991 confirmed COVID-19 patients with a mean age of 56.57±18.53 years; 60.7% (n = 18,816) were men and 39.3% (n = 12,175) were women. Being of advanced age, especially older than or equal to 75 years (SHR = 17.97; 95%CI: 13.08-24.69), being a man (SHR = 1.29; 95%CI: 1.22-1.36), living in rural areas (SHR = 1.18; 95%CI: 1.10-1.26), and receiving care in a public health center (SHR = 1.64; 95%CI: 1.51-1.78) were factors that increased the incidence of death from COVID-19, while living at an elevation higher than 2,500 meters above sea level (SHR = 0.69; 95%CI: 0.66-0.73) decreased this incidence. Since the incidence of death for individuals living in rural areas and who received medical care from the public sector was higher, income and poverty are important factors in the final outcome of this disease.

Published: February 2023

Abstract The present study was conducted in order to determine the frequency of pvl gene among the pathogenic and healthy population isolates of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Methicillin Sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). For this purpose, nasal swab samples were collected from the healthy individuals (to be used as controls, all the samples were collected irrespective of the sex and age factors), the pathogenic samples were collected from different patients suffering from skin &soft tissue infections caused by S. aureus (to be used as test samples).Both of these population samples were analyzed for the presence of pvl gene. S.aureus were identified through conventional microbiological identification procedures. In the case of normal samples, 70 nasal swabs were collected and only 33 (47%) proved to be S. aureus while 20 pathogenic samples were collected and all (100%) were cleared as S. aureus. For further distribution of samples into MRSA and MSSA, antibiotic susceptibility pattern was checked by using the standard protocols of Kirby-Bauer disc diffusion method. Two antibiotic discs Oxacillin (OX: 1ug) and cefoxitin (FOX: 30ug) were used. Among healthy population, MRSA was found to be 79% (n=26) and MSSA were present as 21% (n= 7). Among pathogenic strains 100% MRSA was detected where n= 20. Detection of pvl gene among the MRSA and MSSA isolates was done by using the uniplex PCR followed by gel electrophoresis. MRSA and MSSA of normal healthy population carried 49% and 7% pvl gene respectively. While, pathogenic MRSA samples carried 46% pvl gene among them. Potentially alarming percentage of pvl gene is present among the normal healthy individuals which indicates a future threat and a major health concern.
FAPESP and the São Paulo state freshwater algal flora: history and challenges
Authors: Bicudo Carlos E. de M.
Published: February 2023

Abstract The BIOTA/FAPESP Program made the “São Paulo State algal flora” possible through a very intensive sampling program that aimed at (1) collecting as equally as possible from lentic, semi-lentic, and lotic environments, (2) performing the most uniform possible coverage of the state’s territory, and (3) fostering the collection of periphytic and surface sediments materials that had been extremely neglected till then. The study of all this material made it clear that the biodiversity of the Zygnematophyceae increased by 100%, the Euglenophyceae by 34%, and the Chlorophyceae by 97%, the last being only due to the study of the Chlorococcales. The Bacillariophyceae are in the final phase of their floristic survey, but it is already possible to see an increase in biodiversity of over 700%. Byproducts from the BIOTA/FAPESP algae are a key for the taxonomic identification of freshwater algal genera occurring in Brazil in its third edition, and the production of the most complete algal flora ever carried out in Brazil, that of the Ipiranga River Sources State Park that already totals 919 taxa.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT: Seven hundred twenty cases of oral cavity lesions in dogs were diagnosed from 2015 to 2020 in Distrito Federal, Brazil. Four hundred thirty-two (60%) lesions were neoplastic, and 288 (40%) were non-neoplastic. Of the neoplasms, 229 (53%) were considered malignant and 203 (47%) benign, affecting mainly males, of 43 different breeds, with an average age of 9.4 years, mainly the gum and lip. Melanoma was the most (96/432, 22.2%) commonly diagnosed neoplasm, followed by peripheral odontogenic fibroma (68/432, 15.7%), papilloma (63/432, 14.5%) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) (56/432, 12.9%). Non-neoplastic lesions also affected males predominantly, from 41 different breeds, with an average age of 8.9 years, mainly in the gums, lip, and tongue. These lesions were diagnosed as inflammatory (230/288, 79.8%), hyperplastic (47/288, 16.3%) and other lesions (11/288, 3.8%).

ABSTRACT: The clinical syndrome of the pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID) is the most common endocrinopathy of older horses. This syndrome is characterized by several clinical and pathological changes, which are usually associated with adenomas of the pars intermedia (PI) of the pituitary gland. The aim of this work is to describe five cases of pituitary adenoma of the PI associated with PPID in horses, addressing its clinical and pathological aspects. The horses had a mean of 22 years of age. The main clinical signs were hirsutism and paresis of hind limbs, and at post mortem examination all horses had hirsutism, and a nodule in the pituitary gland, which was histologically characterized as an adenoma of PI (5/5). Furthermore, two horses had gross lesions suggestive of chronic laminitis. Moreover, there was intense parasitism of Sarcocystis neurona (2/5), Strongylus vulgaris (1/5), Parascaris equorum (1/5), Draschia megastoma (1/5), and Klossiella equi (1/5).

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to identify the presence of Trypanosoma vivax DNA in the colostrum of infected goats and to explore the possibility of transmission for neonates fed using colostrum collected from infected goats. We used twelve goats in the final third of gestation with an age of approximately 24 months. Six goats were inoculated intravenously with 0.5mL of blood containing approximately 1.25x105 trypomastigotes of T. vivax, and six remained uninfected. The presence of T. vivax in colostrum was evaluated by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). The possibility of T. vivax transmission by colostrum was assessed by feeding six neonates born of serologically negative goats using colostrum from infected goats. Peripheral blood from neonates was collected daily for thirty days to assess the T. vivax presence through the examination of Giemsa-stained smears of leukocyte layers with the buffy coat technique (BCT) and by PCR. The results of a direct examination of colostrum were negative, but PCR confirmed the presence of T. vivax DNA in all infected goats. Additionally, lactogenic transmission by colostrum was not demonstrated once both BCT and PCR of neonate peripheral blood were negative.
Regional impacts of climate change on agricultural productivity: evidence on large-scale and family farming in Brazil
Authors: Tanure Tarik Marques do Prado , Domingues Edson Paulo , Magalhães Aline Souza
Published: February 2023

Abstract: This paper projects and analyzes the regional impacts of climate change on the agricultural productivity of family farming and large-scale agriculture in Brazil between 2021 and 2050, using the RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 scenarios. The methodology adopted consists of a cross-sectional estimation of a production function in which agricultural productivity is determined by climatic, geographic, and productive factors. The study contributes to the literature by disaggregating agricultural production into family farming and large-scale agriculture, indicating the magnitude and direction of impacts by crops and regions in Brazil, a country with a great territorial dimension and relevant and heterogeneous agricultural production. The results indicate that the agricultural productivity of family farming is more sensitive and therefore this type of producer could be more vulnerable to the phenomenon. On average, the effects will be negative in the North/Northeast regions and for cassava, maize, beans, and soybeans, with possible impacts on deforestation and on food supply. Productivity gains are expected in the southern region and for the cultivation of sugar cane and soybeans. Deterioration of food security of the vulnerable farmers and regional disparities may increase in Brazil.

Published: February 2023

Abstract Poorly formulated search strategies can have great influences on the results of a meta-analysis, since it directly impacts the amount and adherence to the theme of the works used for study, therefore, the formulation of a consistent and functional search strategy is essential for the review system to achieve its goals. The objective of this work was to study the impact of different search strategies in a systematic review by performing a meta-analysis to estimate heritability for the mastitis trait in dairy cattle. Once the search strategies were defined, the searches carried out in the Web of science, Scopus, Scielo and Pubmed databases returned 921 studies from which, after going through the identification, selection, eligibility and inclusion processes, 25 studies were selected. Withdrawals from selected articles, 26 heritability estimates were used in the meta-analysis. A random effect model was used, with all analyzes performed by the R program, through the Metafor package. The estimates obtained through the combined statistics of studies for mastitis, presented values of low magnitude (0.05 and 0.06). The effects of search strategies have a significant impact on the meta-analysis estimates produced.

Abstract Vitamins C and E are potent antioxidants that reduces the harmful effects of stress in several species including fish. In this study, it was evaluated the effect of vitamins C, E and their combination in the acute aerocystitis induced by inactivated Aeromonas hydrophila in pacu. 288 fish were distributed into 4 groups supplemented for 90 days: G1-control; G2-supplemented with 500 mg of Vitamin C; G3-supplemented with 500 mg of Vitamin E; G4-supplemented with 500 mg of Vitamin C + 500 mg of Vitamin E. The fish were divided in three groups, the first was not inoculated; second were inoculated in the swim bladder with 3 x 109 CFU of inactivated A. hydrophila and the last one with saline. The inflammatory exudate was collected from the swim bladder for assessment of cellular component and cytochemistry. The results showed higher accumulation of leukocytes in fish inoculated with bacteria. Cytochemistry was effective identifying thrombocytes, lymphocytes, macrophages and, granulocytes present in the exudate. It was also observed fish that received supplementation with vitamins presented higher accumulation of total cells in the exudate with a predominance of lymphocytes and thrombocytes. These results suggested that supplementation with vitamins improved the immunological responses.
One health approach for the surveillance of novel swine viral diseases
Authors: Zanella Janice Reis Ciacci , Zanella Giovana Ciacci
Published: February 2023

Abstract The novel coronavirus pandemic highlighted the importance of discussing and monitoring emerging diseases to scientific society, particularly in the case of zoonotic diseases. Diseases emerge in nature and infect living beings current on all continents, even in the current scenario of biomedical research evolution. Among the most studied emerging animal diseases are the swine viral diseases, due to their high occurrence and severity. Added to this, is the economic impact on the health of pigs and in some cases on human health. The challenges of swine health include endemic diseases, foodborne and transboundary diseases. Idiopathic vesicular diseases and subclinical diseases have also been identified, either alone or in combination with other infections. Several factors have contributed to these phenomena, but failures in biosecurity, biocontainment, and herd immunity imbalances are critical and must be addressed. Viruses evolve naturally, through mutation, rearrangement, or recombination, either to become more virulent or more transmissible, or not. This review will discuss the broad field of emerging swine viral infections, how monitoring the evolution of these viral agents is of supreme importance. Also, when should a new disease or emerging agent is considered a risk to swine production? Although the evolution of pork production systems is admirable, animal diseases continue to account for 20% of the losses. Therefore, international organizations work with member countries to prevent animal diseases, ensure food supply, maintain household income, health, and preserve the future. One Health is not just a concept, but an action of surveillance and control that all countries must implement.
The memory engram: beginning the search
Authors: Engelhardt Eliasz , Levy Gilberto
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Some of the earliest conceptual milestones in memory research with relevance to the physical means through which its preservation is made possible, namely, the ‘memory trace’ or ‘engram’, are analysed in this study. The fundamental notions were laid down by Platon and Aristoteles. While Platon regarded memory as an imprint on a ‘wax block’ in the immortal soul, Aristoteles considered memory a modification in the mortal soul, imprinted like a cast at birth time. The Roman orators were interested in mnemotechnics, and Cicero is credited for the term ‘trace’ (vestigium) used for the first time. Much later, Descartes described the (memory) ‘trace’ (trace), linking psychic, and physical processes. Finally, Semon posited innovative concepts and terms centralized by the ‘engram’ (Engramm). The search of this important question, which begun about two and a half millennia ago, continues in focus, as can be seen through the growing rate of published papers on the subject.

ABSTRACT Objective: to describe the implementation of the Patient Classification System and the dimensioning of the nursing staff in a pediatric inpatient unit. Method: a descriptive, cross-sectional, and retrospective study, carried out at a university hospital in the Midwest of Brazil. After the implementation of the Pediatric Patient Classification System, we compiled data from the classifications of the level of care complexity (N=4,639) among patients (n=608) admitted from January to December 2019. Descriptive statistical analysis was employed, including proprietary methodology for staff sizing. Results: there was a prevalence of intermediate care patients. According to the staff dimensioning, there was a surplus (+10) of mid-level workers, and the projected number of nurses (six) was compatible with the available number. Conclusion: the strategic implementation/employment of the Patient Classification System was indispensable for the pediatric nursing staffing forecast, considering that the staffing surplus found should be appreciated with caution.

Uma “mulher do fim do mundo” na academia: aprendendo com a trajetória outsider within de Virgínia Bicudo
Authors: Santos Vitailma Conceição , Sampaio Sônia Maria Rocha
Published: February 2023

RESUMO Com base nos dados recuperados da história de vida de Virgínia Bicudo, objetivamos, neste ensaio, explicitar os intercruzamentos entre as contribuições acadêmicas da autora e a sua vivência de mulher negra, cotejando esses aspectos à luz do conceito de outsider within, de Patricia Hill Collins. A análise aqui proposta tencionou demonstrar que a autora, pela adoção de uma concepção biopsicossocial do ser humano tanto nas ciências sociais quanto na psicanálise, pode ser vista como uma outsider within por ter construído uma teoria social crítica e contra-hegemônica, dadas as inquietações sobre a realidade social brasileira advindas da sua própria experiência. Tal perspectiva é atestada na recuperação recente do seu legado e na crítica aos processos de silenciamento embebidos em opressões interseccionais, aos quais sua produção foi submetida.
Educational relationship at the daycare as a form of positive parenting: contributions from an ethnography in daycare centers in Portugal
Authors: Rocha Cristina , Araújo Gervásio
Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT The article is based on an exploratory ethnographic observation in four daycare centers serving children from 3 months to 3 years old in Porto, Portugal. The roadmap for ethnographic observation were the principles of positive parenting. As psychiatrists, concerned with the intergenerational transmission of disorders that affect mental health from childhood onwards, we focus on the interactions of kindergarten teachers and education assistants with children. The aim was to broaden the scope of positive parenting and highlight the importance of its principles in the relationship between education professionals and young children in daycare. The main results highlight that the principles of positive parenting - knowing, protecting and dialoguing with the child - are, in general, present in the daycare centers, although not explicitly stated, and vary according to the educational environment of each daycare center, which is permeable to the children’s social background.
