Umbrüche in der Diakonielandschaft: Von der «Motion Diakonie» zur neuen Konferenz «Diakonie Schweiz»
Authors: Hofstetter Simon
Published: March 2021

Simon Hofstetter beschreibt in seinem Beitrag «Umbrüche in der Diakonielandschaft: Von der ‹Motion Diakonie› zur neuen Konferenz ‹Diakonie Schweiz›» den Restrukturierungsprozess der vergangenen Jahre in der nationalen Diakonielandschaft. Den Ausgangspunkt hierfür bildete die zunehmende Unübersichtlichkeit in der Anzahl und Ausrichtung der nationalen Diakonieorganisationen – selbst für diakonische Leitungspersonen aus Kantonalkirchen war mehr und mehr unklar, welche Organisation in wessen Auftrag welche Aufgaben wahrnimmt. Die reformierten Kantonalkirchen haben deshalb den Kirchenbund im Jahr 2011 beauftragt, eine Bündelung und Koordination dieser Strukturen zu bewirken.Hofstetter beschreibt sodann die Einzelheiten dieses Restrukturierungsprozesses in den vergangenen Jahren, der dazu führte, dass drei bisherige Organisationen bzw. Projekte – die Diakoniekonferenz des SEK, die Deutschschweizerische Diakonatskonferenz (DDK) sowie das KIKO-Projekt diakonie.ch – unter das gemeinsame Dach der «Konferenz ‹Diakonie Schweiz›» im Kirchenbund zusammengeführt wurden.Diese neue Konferenz nahm anfangs 2017 ihren Betrieb auf und soll «nach aussen als eine transparente und nachvollziehbare Struktur […] erscheinen sowie nach innen die diakonischen Arbeiten konzise und koordiniert ‹aus einer Hand› leisten».
Ein neuer Berufseinstieg in das sozialdiakonische Amt: «Gemeindeanimation HF»
Authors: Schranz Stephan
Published: March 2021

Stephan Schranz berichtet in seinem Beitrag «Ein neuer Berufseinstieg in das sozialdiakonische Amt: ‹Gemeindeanimation HF›» über die Entstehung und die Inhalte des neuen Ausbildungsgangs zur Gemeindeanimatorin HF / zum Gemeindeanimator HF: Nach einer über zehnjährigen Planungs- und Konzeptionierungsphase haben es Vertreterinnen und Vertreter des Landeskirchen gemeinsam mit kirchlichen und sozialen Ausbildungsorganisationen erreicht, dass die Ausbildung zur Gemeindeanimatorin HF / zum Gemeindeanimator HF offiziell anerkannt wurde und nun im Herbst 2016 mit einem ersten Ausbildungsgang starten konnte.Die Ausbildung hält sieben Arbeitsprozesse fest; mit ihr werden «Fachpersonen für die Unterstützung der Bevölkerung bei der Teilhabe an der Gesellschaft und Gemeinschaft» ausgebildet, deren Grundanliegen «die Verbesserung des sozialen Zusammenlebens im Gemeinwesen» ist. Diese Zielsetzung entspricht ganz offensichtlich «in weiten Teilen dem sozialdiakonischen Auftrag» von Kirchen und Kirchgemeinden; entsprechend bildet die Gemeindeanimation neu – neben den zwei bestehenden Berufsprofilen (Soziale Arbeit und Sozialpädagogik) – einen dritten möglichen Zugang zur Sozialdiakonie. Nach einer gewissen kirchlich-theologischen Zusatzqualifikation qualifiziere der Ausbildungsgang «besonders zielsicher für den Einstieg ins sozialdiakonische Amt und für die Umsetzung des damit verbundenen sozialdiakonischen Auftrags».
Diakonische Präsenz im öffentlichen Raum. Herausforderungen und Relevanzen
Authors: Schlag Thomas
Published: March 2021

Thomas Schlag diskutiert in seinem Beitrag «Diakonische Präsenz im öffentlichen Raum. Herausforderungen und Relevanzen» verschiedene diakoniewissenschaftliche Publikationen, die die Beziehung zwischen Diakonie und Raum bzw. Theologie und Raum thematisieren. Während das diakonische Handeln seit jeher von verschiedenen «Spannungsfeldern» geprägt sei – Schlag nennt etwa das Spannungsfeld «von Armenhilfe und kirchlicher Verzweckung» sowie Spannungsfeld «von Passion und Professionalität» – liege nun diese Verbindung helfenden Handelns mit der Kirchenraumfrage ausserhalb der üblichen Spannungsfelder, ja damit werde « gleichsam der Rahmen aufgespannt, in dem helfendes Handeln in christlichem Geist stattfindet». Die Verbindung sei «ausgesprochen plausibel und produktiv», zumal der Raum nach reformiertem Verständnis «nicht per se heilig» sei und gerade dadurch « alle Möglichkeit eines heilenden und Heil stiftenden, und von dort aus heiligen Handelns» eröffne.Diese produktive Verbindung von Diakonie und Raum überträgt Schlag sodann «noch in einem viel weiteren Sinn auf die Frage der Zukunft der Kirche selbst» und hält fest: « Tatsächlich steht die diakonische Arbeit stellvertretend für die Frage der gegenwärtigen Präsenz der Kirche […] in der Öffentlichkeit überhaupt», da aus gesamtgesellschaftlicher Perspektive gerade «diese Form des Engagements im Zeichen der Nächstenliebe von besonderer Plausibilität für die Grundidee des Evangeliums» sei. Entsprechend gelte es, in der Diakoniewissenschaft weiter danach zu fragen, was dieser «theologisch-räumliche Kern» der Kirchen gemeinsam mit Staat, Gesellschaft und Gemienschaft beitragen könne zu «einer komplementären Arbeit an den Nöten der Gegenwart und an einer kooperativen Grundhaltung um einer humanen Gesellschaft willen».

Association between Size and Location with Cerebral Aneurysms Rupture
Authors: Zimelewicz Oberman Dan
Published: March 2021

Introduction: Aneurysm rupture is the most dangerous complication with high morbidity and mortality rate, greater than 40%. Identifying risk factors for aneurysm rupture is extremely important for selecting patients who may truly benefit from preventive treatment. Objective: The aim of this study was to review our patients with ruptured and unruptured intracranial aneurysms and determine if there was an association between the size and location of aneurysms and their rupture. Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in adult patients with cerebral aneurysm diagnosed from March 2015 to February 2017. Patients were divided into two groups, one with ruptured aneurysms and the other with unruptured aneurysms. Location according to anterior and posterior circulation was recorded. Size was stratified in three categories: (1) less than 7 mm; (2) between 7-12 mm; and (3) bigger than 13 mm in diameters. Results: During this period 80 patients were diagnosed with cerebral aneurysms. A total of 106 aneurysms were identified, 33 aneurysms were ruptured and 73 were unruptured. The mean sizes were 7.88 ± 6.23 mm and 5.35 ± 3.24 mm, respectively. There was statistically significant differences in aneurysm size (p<0.03) between the ruptured and unruptured group. Logistic regression revealed a higher association of rupture of anterior circulation aneurysm when size was ≥ 4mm (p<0.02). Conclusions: There was a significant difference between the size of ruptured and unruptured aneurysm groups. Anterior circulation aneurysms≥4mm revealed a higher association with rupture. This suggest this location should be evaluated more carefully for preventive treatment.

Aneurisma no roto o grado 0 se define a aquel que no sangro. El riesgo de tener una HSA de un aneurisma no roto es de aproximadamente 1,5% anual, acumulable. En el caso de lesiones grandes o gigantes como nuestro caso ese riesgo aumenta mucho porcentualmente, y aneurismas disecantes hasta 40%. Materiales y Métodos: En primer lugar se presenta caso clínico de una paciente que fue asistida en el Hospital Maciel, donde se estudia y opera de un aneurisma fusiforme mediante clipado, progresando la enfermedad requiriendo tratamiento endovascular y posteriormente exéresis asociada a bypass extra-intracraneano con injerto radial para lograr la curación del mismo. A partir de este caso clínico ilustrativo se realizó una puesta al día sobre esta patología. Discusión: Se discute la clasificación de aneurismas, etiología, opciones terapéuticas y el seguimiento de estos pacientes. Conclusiones: En caso de los aneurismas fusiformes debemos sospechar una base disecante, lo cual es importante para definir el tratamiento de estas lesiones.
Gambaran Tingkat Kepadatan Jentik Nyamuk Aedes Aegypti di Kelurahan Kenali Asam Bawah Kota Jambi.
Authors: Lesmana Oka , Halim Rd.
Published: March 2021

Secara global diperkirakan 50-100 juta orang di seluruh dunia terinfeksi DBD setiap tahunnya. Pada tahun 2017 jumlah penderita DBD di Indonesia yang dilaporkan sebanyak 68.407 kasus, jumlah kematian 493 orang, angka kesakitan (IR) 26,12 per 100.000 penduduk, dan angka kematian (CFR) 0,72%. Salah satu indikator yang digunakan untuk pengendalian DBD yaitu angka bebas jentik (ABJ). ABJ secara nasional belum mencapai target program yang sebesar ≥ 95% sehingga perlu dilakukan pengamatan vektor pada stadium jentik untuk mengetahui penyebaran, kepadatan nyamuk, habitat utama jentik, dan dugaan resiko terjadinya penularan. Kepadatan populasi nyamuk Aedes aegypti dapat diketahui dengan melakukan survey jentik sehingga didapatkan angka House Index, Container Index, Bruteau Index, dan Density Figure. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian survey deskriptif dan menggunakan metode cross sectional yang memaparkan gambaran kepadatan dan jenis jentik berdasarkan rumah dan Tempat Penampungan Air (TPA) yang diperiksa. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 160 rumah. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan proporsional random sampling. Hasil penelitian diketahui angka House Index 30%, Container Index 19,5%, dan Bruteau Index 74% sehingga didapatkan Density Figure 5,3 yang berarti wilayah Kelurahan Kenali Asam Bawah termasuk Daerah Merah. Maka perlu kewaspadaan tinggi dan pengendalian segera karena derajat penularan penyakit yang dibawa vektor tinggi. Angka bebas jentik (ABJ) 70% jauh berada dibawah standar nasional 95%. Saran peneliti agar pemerintah daerah, perangkat desa, dan masyarakat setempat bekerjasama untuk menggiatkan kegiatan pemberantasan sarang nyamuk (PSN) dan Gerakan Satu Rumah Satu Jumantik.

Published: March 2021

The use of 5 GHz Wi-Fi has spread and potential effects on microorganisms and human health are still under investigation. To investigate the possible effects for that, experiments were performed using three different microorganisms, Escherichia coli, SH-SY5Y human neuroblastoma cells and Caernohabditis elegans. The maximum allowed temperature for the Wi-Fi Access Point (AP) was considered in the measurement setup in order not to harm the internal circuitry of the router which can result impact the performance of the router. Suspension turbidity, optical density measurements and simultaneous counting of E. coli were performed. It was observed that 5 GHz Wi-Fi exposure slow down the E. coli growth rate at the same temperature conditions with sham exposed groups especially after the first 6 h. 5 GHz Wi-Fi induced decrease in cell viability remarkably for the cells seeded at densities 20,40, 100 (×103) and viability values were varied between 20 and 30%. C. elegans which is a nematode, plays key role in nutrient cycling and soil fertilization was affected by the radiation and egg-laying rates changed by 27.49%.

Authors: AKBAY Deniz , ŞENGÜN Nazmi , EKİNCİOĞLU Gökhan , ALTINDAĞ Raşit
Published: March 2021

Flexural strength is an important mechanical property used in the selection of the application area of natural building stones. The flexural strength of natural stones in our country is determined according to the test standards prepared by the European Union. According to TS EN 12372, the recommended test sample dimensions for the determination of the flexural strength of natural stones are 50×50×300 mm. However, generally, 20-30 mm thick plates are used in flooring, cladding, and exterior applications in buildings. In practice, 50 mm thick plates are rarely used, as well as preparing 50 mm thick test samples is a laborious and time-consuming process. In this study, it has been investigated how much the sample size affects the flexural strength of sedimentary carbonate rocks when using test samples prepared in two different sizes. It has been observed that the flexural strength values obtained from the test samples prepared in different sizes of the same rock are very close to each other. Besides, the stress distributions formed on the rock sample were analyzed with ANSYS Workbench 2020 R1. It has been determined that the stress distributions in the samples prepared in different sizes, exposed to the same load, occur in the same regions, and concentrate.
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SINGLE-PHASE PWM RECTIFIER CONTROL TECHNIQUES
Authors: İŞEN Evren
Published: March 2021

In this study, 2.5 kW single-phase pulse-width modulated rectifier is simulated with three different control techniques to investigate the performance of controllers. Rectifier simulation is performed in Matlab / Simulink environment by using hysteresis current control, sinusoidal pulse width modulation and voltage oriented control techniques. In the performance comparison of the control techniques, considering the switching frequencies, the total harmonic content of the current drawn from the grid, the phase difference between the grid voltage and the grid current, and the DC bus voltage regulation at the output are considered as comparison criteria. The switching frequency is set to 35 kHz in sinusoidal pulse width modulation and voltage oriented control techniques. Since the switching frequency is variable in the hysteresis current control technique, the average and instantaneous switching frequency are calculated for different hysteresis band values. In the results with the technique, the switching frequency varies between 18.52 kHz and 47.6 kHz, while the average switching frequency is 34.6 kHz. As a result, the total harmonic distortion of the grid current with hysteresis current control, sinusoidal pulse width modulation and voltage oriented control techniques is 3.69%, 1.12% and 1.82%, respectively. The synchronization with the grid voltage is achieved with all techniques, and the DC voltage is regulated with active power.

Factors influencing the internationalization of small-sized textile firms in a Small Island Developing State: A Mauritian study
Authors: Sannegadu Rajesh , Henrico Alfred , van Staden Louis
Published: March 2021

Internationalization offers opportunities to small firms in small island developing states for market growth, sustainability, reduced dependency on local markets, and economies of scale. As small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly playing a significant role in many countries’ socioeconomic development, Mauritian-based textile manufacturers are seen as an engine of growth for the Mauritian economy by attracting foreign direct investment, subsequently creating jobs and strengthening the manufacturing base of the economy. In this regard, the contribution of the textile industry in transforming the Mauritian economy from a middle-income economy to a high-income economy is widely acknowledged. However, most of the small- and medium-sized Mauritian textile manufacturing firms are currently not internationalized and face several domestic survival and sustainability challenges resulting from the liberalized trading system adopted by the Mauritian government in 2005. In this article, we investigate firm size-related factors, which influence small textile manufacturers’ internationalization intentions. We argue that factors relating to financial and non-financial resources are the main causes discouraging small firms’ internationalization. These factors emerged from interviews with ten internationalized medium-sized textile manufacturers in Mauritius that overcame their size-related barriers. We further extended the research by surveying the whole population of internationalized medium-sized textile manufacturers in Mauritius for triangulation purposes.

Published: March 2021

United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) identified in 2002 three fundamental areas of human development in which the Arab world lags behind the rest of the world. One of those specified areas was the lack of freedom and democracy. To investigate the presence of the democratic deficit, the study introduces a composite democracy index that measures and compares countries’ performances in the democratic domains. This paper aims to define and describe the democratic deficit in the context of the Islamic world, verify its existence in the Arab world, and determine its possible presence in other Muslim countries in various world regions. The study results showed that although the deficit was formulated almost twenty years ago, it is still relevant. It has been observed that Muslim countries performed, on average, worse on the index score than non-Muslim countries, which means that the Islamic countries face the democratic deficit. Moreover, the results showed that the performance of the Arab world in the democratic index is even worse than that of the other Muslim countries. The analysis additionally confirmed that the economic factor is important in verification of the deficit and its depth. On the level of individual countries, poor Muslim states often achieved the worst results, usually from the group of the least developed countries, such as Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, or Eritrea.

7 facts on metoclopramide utility
Authors: Bugajski Marek
Published: March 2021

Nausea and vomiting can be either a symptom, or an adverse reaction to treatment. Metoclopramide is an effective agent that can be used to treat nausea and vomiting due to inhibition effect on dopamine D2 receptor and histamine 5-HT3 receptor, causing accelerated gastric emptying, as well as increased gut motility. It is effective in treatment of nausea and vomiting regardless of cause. Some conditions with evidence (based on randomized clinical trials) of metoclopramide effectiveness include migraine, diabetic gastroparesis, patients after chemo- or radiotherapy, after surgery. Even though there is a risk of serious adverse events (including extra-pyramidal syndrome), metoclopramide can be regarded as safe, assuming appropriate patient selection. It can be used also during pregnancy, as well as in pediatric setting, where long-lasting adverse outcomes are observed extremely rarely.

Authors: Waśko-Czopnik Dorota
Published: March 2021

Diarrhea is a very common problem that can only be a non-specific symptom of the disease, but can also be an infectious complication or a harbinger of a chronic disease. For years, loperamide has found its place in the treatment of acute and chronic diarrhea. The safety profile and efficacy of action allow the patient to self-use during the first disease period until symptoms disappear. The drug has beneficial effects in patients with urgency and after ileal surgery, by thickening and shaping the stool and influencing the tone of the rectal muscles. In addition, it works well in traveler’s diarrhea, alone or in combination therapy with a dedicated drug. It does not cause long-term side effects, it works quickly to control disease symptoms and prevent complications that worsen the course of the disease, such as dehydration. Despite other alternatives on the market, it is still at the forefront of effective and safe anti-diarrheal drugs.
Tourist routes of 2020 – time for Orla Perć! How to make difficult clinical decisions
Authors: Łukasiewicz Maria , Mamcarz Artur
Published: March 2021

In modern medicine, there is less and less room for worn-out schemes. Even though patients are initially diagnosed with the same illness, it often turns out in an in-depth medical interview how much they differ from each other. Not only the subtype of the disease itself is important, but also the lifestyle, the type of work performed, tolerance of adverse effects of the implemented therapy, or, as in the case of young women, maternal plans. Ignoring the reported plans, symptoms, and inadequacy of treatment for a given patient may result in a patient’s withdrawal of pharmacotherapy. Cardiological pharmacotherapy is an excellent example of this. The choice of a drug based on the subtype of hypertension, heart failure, or arrhythmia, a dosage regimen that takes into account daily habits and the absence of side effects, allows to achieve the best compliance. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the differences in the properties of particular substances within one group – β-adrenolytics, angiotensin- -converting-enzyme inhibitors, or calcium channel blockers. β-adrenolytics with vasodilatation effect bring different clinical benefits than those strongly cardioselective, new calcium antagonists cause fewer side effects with the same efficacy, and the use of well-studied drug combinations allows to reduce the number of tablets taken, reducing the risk of missing a dose.
Optimal dosage of β-blockers using metoprolol CR/XL as an example – what, for whom and when?
Authors: Grabysa Radosław
Published: March 2021

Metoprolol, a highly cardioselective β-blocker without intrinsic sympathomimetic activity, continues to play an important role in current treatment guidelines for hypertension, chronic heart failure, and coronary artery disease. Experts pay special attention to its modern, slow-release pharmaceutical form in the form of succinate, thoroughly tested in a number of clinical trials. Metoprolol succinate can be used in a single daily dose which ensures high compliance. The paper presents typical clinical scenarios in which appropriately dosed metoprolol CR/XL should be used. It should be emphasized that metoprolol CR/XL has the most registration indications among all the original β-blockers.

Appropriate selection and correct use of inhalation devices is an integral component in the management of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is well known that there are many challenges with the use of inhalers, and no one device suits all patients. Importantly, education and support is crucial, not only to enable patients to recognize the need for optimal disease management, but also to help them develop good inhaler technique. In addition, health care professionals should also aim to increase their knowledge of the devices they prescribe and develop systems to ensure that they offer comprehensive support to patients in clinical practice.

Published: March 2021

The usage of bio-fibres and recycled materials is a growing approach to address the ecological problems being faced today. Inspired by the guidelines defining the Waste for Life initiative, the present study reports new composite materials, based on the recycling of high-impact polystyrene, found, for instance in yogurt cups, and paper plastic laminates, deriving from disposable paper cups. Given their recycling incompatibility, paper plastic laminates are either dumped in landfills or incinerated after their first usage, threatening the environmental condition. Therefore, through the development of a new composite solution, the goal was to reduce this damaging environmental impact by providing a second life to both paper plastic laminates and high-impact polystyrene. Samples presented overall good mechanical properties, from which it is highlighted a Young’s Modulus of 1.75 GPa and a Tensile Strength of 21.2 MPa, encouraging the application of the present material to identified global obstacles.
Investigation of Adhesion Behaviour of Different Underlayered DLC Coated Cold Forming Tool Steel
Authors: Laszlo Noemi
Published: March 2021

Mono- and multilayer coatings can be suitable alternatives to traditional bulk materials due to their favorable mechanical properties. Thanks to the ever-evolving coating technology and process, there are a wide variety of coating types today, such as soft, hard, or super-hard coatings that can be made with single or multilayer coatings.

Adhesion and damage to coatings is especially important for coated tools, where damage to the coating can reduce tool life and result in deterioration of the surface quality of the product. The coatings were characterized by Calotest layer thickness measurement, AFM assisted roughness measurement and microhardness test. The adhesion test of the different underlayered (TiBN, CrN and TiAlN) DLC coated Böhler K100 forming tool steel is designed with the Mercedes test (Rockwell C Adhesion Test), which is frequently used to classify the layers, and is complemented by instrumented scratch test.

The large number of workers coming to Jakarta has led to new problems, namely poor quality such as education and morals. The low level of education of individuals who come this causes a low standard of living which raises other problems, namely social problems such as rising unemployment, increasing poverty, raising slums, and increasing crime. Kota Bambu Selatan community views education as something that is not important. Kota Bambu Selatan community prefers to go directly to the community to work, but in reality the community in general makes education as a benchmark for how someone is able to work well. Excessive labor and time, but the lack of adequate facilities can lead to increased disparities in society.

Masyarakat Kota Bambu Selatan memandang pendidikan merupakan sesuatu yang tidak penting. Masyarakat Kota Bambu Selatan lebih memilih untuk terjun langsung ke masyarakat untuk bekerja, namun pada kenyataannya masyarakat pada umumnya menjadikan pendidikan sebagai tolak ukur bagaimana seseorang mampu untuk bekerja dengan baik.

Reforma Agrária Popular do MST: avanços e limitações da proposta agroecológica no PA Abril Vermelho, em Santa Bárbara-PA.
Authors: Vilhena Luiz Felipe Nazaré , Ferreira Laura Angélica
Published: March 2021

O início do século XXI é marcado pelo avanço do agronegócio nas áreas rurais, levando o MST a reavaliar sua forma de enfrentamento. Neste contexto, o movimento lança uma nova proposta de luta campesina, intitulada: “Reforma Agrária Popular”, a qual é ancorada em princípios da agroecologia. A mesma se contrapõe ao modelo vigente do agronegócio, o qual é baseado essencialmente na exploração do monocultivo em extensas áreas, altamente dependente de insumos externos, apresentando e defendendo um modelo de agricultura: diversificada, sustentada em bases ecológicas, voltada para a produção de alimentos saudáveis e a conquista da soberania alimentar. Este trabalho objetiva analisar como a “Reforma Agrária Popular” está sendo aplicada no PA Abril Vermelho, em Santa Bárbara-PA, identificando seus avanços e limitações. Foram utilizadas as técnicas de pesquisa: documentação indireta; observação participante; análise histórica; caracterização das práticas produtivas; entrevistas semiestruturadas, caminhada transversal (nos lotes); e registros fotográficos. Como resultados, apontamos que a proposta agroecológica do MST tem proporcionado aos assentados do PA Abril Vermelho uma produção: diversificada, orgânica, ecológica, gerando alimentação saudável e renda. Em contrapartida, encontra limitações como: desgaste da terra; falta de mão de obra; limitações físicas dos próprios assentados; e falta de apoio das gestões públicas locais, sendo, contudo, um modelo de produção que tem sido capaz de fortalecer suas autonomias produtivas.

Este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar o relato e a análise da experiência de luta pela saúde que foi sendo construída no assentamento Anonni, durante o período de transição, do assentamento provisório ao definitivo, de 1987 a 1992, identificando como se deu a relação entre os saberes e práticas, populares e científicos, na produção das ações de saúde. Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo estudo de caso, com abordagem qualitativa. Os procedimentos metodológicos adotados compreenderam a realização de uma pesquisa exploratória, bibliográfica, documental e de campo, no período de março de 2017 a junho de 2018. Ao final, compreende-se que na experiência vivida houveram uma série de pontos de tensão entre o pensamento hegemônico e contra hegemônico no cotidiano da assistência à saúde que era prestada as famílias, demonstrando que para enfrentar a monocultura do saber da ciência moderna, exige-se reconhecer que há uma pluralidade de conhecimentos heterogêneos presentes na comunidade, e que estes se articulados possibilitarão o fortalecimento das ações de saúde desenvolvidas.
