Comunicação quilombola, resistência e proximidade na redução das desconexões no enfrentamento à pandemia
Authors: Ribeiro Caetano Lindemberg , Da Silva Lopes Ivonete , Suzana Magalhães Cardoso Jéssica
Published: September 2022

Este artigo discute a articulação entre comunicação, resistência e luta pela sobrevivência das comunidades quilombolas na pandemia da Covid-19. Traz a análise de conteúdo das publicações no Instagram e das entrevistas com integrantes da Coordenação Nacional de Articulação das Comunidades Negras Rurais Quilombolas (Conaq) e da Federação das Comunidades Quilombolas do Estado de Minas Gerais (N’Golo). Os resultados apontam várias desconexões (digital, estradas, eletricidade) que dificultam a comunicação. Neste cenário, o WhatsApp aparece como elo entre organizações e comunidades. Destacam-se as estratégias de aproximação e a identificação da figura dos mediadores (donos dos celulares) no repasse das informações à população nos territórios quilombolas.
Notícia da primeira vacinada contra Covid-19 no Brasil vista por lentes feministas interseccionais
Authors: Escosteguy Ana Carolina , Borela Suzanne
Published: September 2022

Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender os sentidos produzidos pelas notícias sobre a primeira vacinada no Brasil contra a Covid-19, publicadas por Nós, mulheres da periferia (2012-) e Alma Preta (2015-). Essa análise é contextualizada com material jornalístico elaborado pela Gênero & Número (2016-) e com materiais da imprensa em geral. Toma-se como enquadramento teórico-metodológico a perspectiva feminista interseccional (COLLINS, 2017) e a adoção da experiência como categoria epistemológica para uma análise cultural da produção jornalística em questão (CARVALHO; LAGE, 2014). Deste modo, buscamos demonstrar a fertilidade dessa perspectiva centrada na experiência, seja pelo seu acionamento na produção jornalística, seja na construção de um conhecimento democrático e inclusivo, e no reconhecimento das diferenças e desigualdades sociais.
A importância de um olhar interseccional nas pesquisas em plataformas digitais: análises sobre lesbianidades
Authors: Barretos Dayane , Xavier Kellen , Bettoni Isabella , Ziller Joana , Hoki Leíner
Published: September 2022

Neste artigo buscamos destacar a importância de um olhar interseccional em análises que voltam a atenção para as experiências das lesbianidades. Entendendo que há muitas formas de ser lésbica, partimos do pressuposto de que as opressões vivenciadas com relação à dissidência de sexualidade se conjugam com outras opressões. Compreende-se que há um padrão desejável que é privilegiado e, portanto, ganha mais visibilidade em plataformas de mídias sociais como YouTube, Instagram e TikTok, criando um ideal de lesbianidade. Para cercar essas questões, resgatamos as análises realizadas ao longo dos últimos anos nessas plataformas, denunciando o caráter anti-interseccional dos algoritmos de mídias sociais.
Construindo poder narrativo para justiça social: entrevista com Shanelle Matthews
Authors: Cotta Diego , Saavedra Renata , Lima Valeria
Published: September 2022

Falar sobre transformar narrativas se tornou quase um lugar comum no campo da comunicação por direitos. Mas o que isso quer dizer e como pode estar realmente a serviço da justiça social? Para Shanelle Mathews, é imprescindível que movimentos sociais produzam “poder narrativo”, de modo que possam “expandir a percepção coletiva do que é  social, econômica e politicamente possível”. A entrevistada é ativista, comunicadora e professora, e se dedica a colaborar com ativistas, organizações e campanhas de justiça social para inspirar ações e construir poder narrativo. É diretora de Comunicação do Movimento por Vidas Negras (Movement for Black Lives - M4BL), fundadora da Radical Communicators Network (Rede de Comunicadores Radicais - RadComms) e professora da The New School, universidade em Nova Iorque. Suas ideias dão pistas para o enfrentamento dos desafios comunicacionais dos movimentos sociais progressistas, rumo à construção de “uma narrativa robusta que sirva de sustentação para um futuro mais libertador".

Authors: Borges Raul Elton Araújo , Sydney Priscila Brenner Hilgenberg , Roncalli Angelo Giuseppe , Conti Paulo César Rodrigues , Calderon Patrícia dos Santos
Published: September 2022

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the presence of primary headaches and myofascial pain in orofacial patients. Materials and methods: Six hundred and ninety-nine records of patients seeking treatment in a specialized orofacial pain clinic were assessed. The primary diagnostic categories of headache and myofascial pain were recorded. Data analyses were carried out by Pearson Chi-square and Logistic Regression, with a p-value of 0.05. Results:  Average age of patients was 34.6 years. Females constituted 82.8% of the sample. A relationship between the presence of tension-type headache and myofascial pain was found (p=0.00); however, this relationship was not found for the presence of migraine and myofascial pain (p>0.05). Discussion: Tension-type headaches may be triggered or perpetuated by trigger points in orofacial structures. Conclusion: It can be concluded that trigger points in myofascial pain patients can play an important role in the genesis of tension-type headache.
Streptococcus mutans e seu metabolismo a nível molecular no contexto ecológico da doença cárie
Authors: Silva Bittencourt Patrícia Fernanda , De Brito Barbosa Cecília , Damé-Teixeira Nailê
Published: September 2022

Objetivo: Durante décadas, o Streptococcus mutans foi considerado o principal agente etiológico da doença cárie. Esta revisão apresentará seu histórico e metabolismo a nível molecular. Ao entender as vias metabólicas do S.mutans envolvidas no  desenvolvimento de lesões cariosas, será possível desenvolver novos métodos de modulação de biofilmes no controle da doença cárie e elucidar a necessidade de continuar pesquisando essa bactéria. Revisão de literatura: Embora o S. mutans não constitua uma proporção significativa na colonização da microbiota bucal da dentição hígida, essa proporção aumenta quando há acidificação contínua do biofilme, associada ao excesso de carboidratos na dieta do hospedeiro. Isso ocorre devido a um conjunto de fatores de virulência, tais como, adesão, formação de biofilme, acidogenicidade, aciduricidade, atividades de proteases, produção de mutacinas e vias de transdução de sinal. Cada uma dessas propriedades, coordenadamente, alteram a ecologia do biofilme dental. Discussão: Ainda é relevante entender o metabolismo do S. mutans como microrganismo modelo em lesões cariosas devido a seus inúmeros fatores de virulência. Porém, no contexto da doença cárie como uma disbiose, estratégias terapêuticas antimicrobianas, mais especificamente anti-S.mutans, voltadas para a eliminação do microrganismo, podem não ser a chave do controle da doença cárie, enquanto a modulação do microbioma poderá se tornar o futuro das clínicas odontológicas. Conclusão: Biofilmes associados a doença cárie compreendem um ecossistema diverso, sugerindo uma etiologia polimicrobiana, porém, estudos futuros que visem à prospecção, ao desenvolvimento e à inter-relação do S. mutans com outros microrganismos e com o hospedeiro humano ainda são justificados a fim de desvendar a transição ‘homeostase-disbiose’.

Relações Internacionais e interseccionalidade
Authors: Kyrillos Gabriela
Published: September 2022

Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo central fazer uma aproximação de mão dupla entre a interseccionalidade e as Relações Internacionais (RI), a partir de dois movimentos e mobilizações sociais transnacionais: Ni Una Menos e Black Lives Matter. Partindo dos estudos feministas em RI, conceitualizamos a interseccionalidade enquanto ferramenta analítica e teoria social crítica. Trata-se de uma pesquisa metodologicamente de caráter qualitativa e exploratória, que utiliza procedimentos técnicos bibliográficos e de estudos de casos. Como resultados, temos que esses movimentos visibilizam o caráter transnacional das discriminações e violências de gênero e de raça, que atualmente se transformam e se coproduzem em um cenário marcado pelas heranças colonialistas e de desigualdades geopolíticas. Sendo abordagens interseccionais, pois, são formadas a partir de uma teoria e práxis crítica dos movimentos sociais, analisam a realidade a partir de uma lente interseccional das desigualdades, e se aproximam das relações de poder compreendendo-o como multidimensional e complexo. Além disso, indicamos como o arcabouço teórico das RI pode contribuir para superar as frequentes restrições das pesquisas interseccionais limitadas às fronteiras construídas a partir de lógicas ocidentais-coloniais do Estado-nação. Podendo auxiliar na compreensão dos aspectos transfronteiriços das dinâmicas de coprodução de poder de elementos como racismo, colonialismo, sexismo e nacionalismo.
THE LATERAL THINKING PROCESSES IN SOLVING MATHEMATICAL WORD PROBLEMS REVIEWED AT ADVERSITY QUOTIENT AND REFLECTIVE COGNITIVE STYLE
Authors: Nur Andi Saparuddin , Kartono Kartono , Zaenuri Zaenuri , Rochmad Rochmad
Published: September 2022

Solving word problems with a thought jump shows flexibility and the ability to use alternative procedures that are important for students to master. The thought jump is a feature of the lateral thinking process and is needed to overcome the various difficulties in solving mathematical word problems. However, lateral thinking has not been widely linked with adversity quotient and reflective cognitive style. This study aimed to describe students' lateral thinking processes in solving word problems in terms of adversity quotient and reflective cognitive style. This research is a qualitative descriptive study. The subjects in this study were junior high school students in Gowa Regency, South Sulawesi Province. The research instrument used the MFFT diagnostic test, ARP questionnaire sheet, word problem text, and interview guidelines. The results of this study indicate that climber-reflective subjects can think laterally and use them to solve the first and second-word problems well. Camper-reflective subjects can only think laterally for situations that are still within reach, while for more complicated cases, camper subjects are easily distracted and even stop solving problems. Quitter subjects solve word problems very procedurally, follow rigid algorithms, and cannot work backward when faced with difficulties.
Colchicine enhances β-adrenoceptor-mediated vasodilation in men with essential hypertension

Published: September 2022

Aims: Colchicine treatment has known beneficial effects on
cardiovascular health and reduces the incidence of cardiovascular
disease. Studies in isolated rodent arteries have shown that colchicine
can enhance β-adrenoceptor-mediated vasodilation. In this translational
study we examined whether this effect of colchicine was present in
humans by conducting a double-blinded, placebo controlled intervention
study. Methods and Results : Middle-aged men with essential hypertension
were randomly assigned firstly to acute treatment with either 0.5 mg
colchicine or placebo, and subsequently re-randomized for 3 weeks of
treatment with either colchicine 0.5 mg twice daily (n=16) or placebo
(n=15) followed by a washout period of 48-72 h. The vasodilator
responses to isoprenaline, acetylcholine and sodium nitroprusside, were
determined as well as arterial pressure, arterial compliance and plasma
inflammatory markers. Acute colchicine treatment increased isoprenaline-
(by 38% for the highest dose) as well as SNP- (by 29% main effect)
induced vasodilation, but had no effect on the response to
acetylcholine. Conclusion: Three weeks of twice daily treatment of
colchicine, followed by a wash-out period, did not induce an accumulated
or sustained effect on the β-adrenoceptor response and there was no
effect on either arterial pressure, arterial compliance or on the level
of measured inflammatory markers. The results provide novel
translational evidence for a transient enhancing effect of colchicine on
β-adrenoceptor-mediated vasodilation in humans with essential
hypertension
Cyber Security in Smart Grids, Threats, and Possible Solutions
Authors: Ghelani Diptiben
Published: September 2022

The integration of telecommunications in the energy grid, which is paving the way for Smart Grids, calls into question how the energy sector has historically ensured safe operations. New cyber security concerns exist, particularly in the areas of privacy, connection, and security management, which must be addressed effectively. Existing cyber security technologies and best practices are mostly derived from the old telecommunication context, where safety and availability requirements are less stringent. Lessons on how the oil and gas sector has coped with security concerns in the introduction of integrated operations can be used to Smart Grids. Smart Grids, on the other hand, face a somewhat different reality due to their wide geographic dispersion and large number of end-users. This study makes a contribution by providing an overview of cyber security problems for Smart Grids, as well as a plan for addressing these challenges in the near future. However, because many of the communication technologies now advocated for use by a smart grid are cyber-vulnerable, this might result in inconsistent system operations, resulting in wasteful spending and possibly disaster for both utilities and customers. We review the cyber security needs and potential vulnerabilities in smart grid communications in this study, as well as survey existing cyber security solutions for smart grid communications.
Breaking the human shield: Predator habituation may reduce human effects on predator-prey dynamics
Authors: Lasky Monica , Venter Jan , Palmer Meredith , Bombaci Sara
Published: September 2022

While many species are fearful of human presence, others may habituate
after prolonged, non-lethal exposure. Highly persecuted carnivores often
take longer to habituate than herbivores, which can lead to prey
associating with humans to ‘shield’ themselves from predators. We
conducted an experiment in a hyper-diverse African reserve to examine
how an apex predator (spotted hyena) and two primary prey species
partition spatiotemporal activity in response to 1) threatening human
voice playbacks and 2) long-term, less-threatening tourism activity.
Hyenas avoided areas with human voice playbacks during the day, allowing
prey to use these areas diurnally to shield themselves from predation.
Neither predator nor prey were deterred from sites with tourists. This
apparent habituation by predators conserved co-occurrence between
predators and their prey, ‘breaking’ the human shield. While use of
human shields may be widespread among large mammalian predators and
prey, these effects may lessen through time in the absence of predator
persecution.
Five Year Retrospective Review of the Success of Vaginal Birth After Cesarean Section (VBAC) based on Previous Cesarean Delivery Indication in a Tertiary University Hospital
Authors: Tanchuco John Edward , Lao Chiaoling Sua
Published: September 2022

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the success of vaginal birth
after cesarean section (VBAC) based on previous cesarean delivery
indication. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study SETTING: University of
the Philippines - Philippine General Hospital, Department of Obstetrics
and Gynecology hospital masterlist data SAMPLE: Gravidas with a previous
cesarean section within a five year period (2015 - 2019) METHODS:
Maternal demographics, obstetric characteristics on admission, perinatal
morbidities and maternal morbidities were recorded. Data was analyzed
using Student’s t-test for continuous variables, chi-square test to
compare the distribution and Z-test was used to compare success rates.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The main outcome measures are TOLAC rate, VBAC
rate, factors which affect success of TOLAC and VBAC, and perinatal and
maternal morbidities associated with successful and failed VBAC.
RESULTS: A total of 2485 patients were included. The overall TOLAC rate
was 17% (95% CI: 15.6% - 18.6%) and the VBAC rate was 9.5% (95%
CI: 8.3% - 10.7%). Patients with successful VBAC are younger, had less
weight and body mass index, shorter interdelivery intervals, and
admitted in active phase cervical dilatation. Previous cesarean section
indication did not significantly affect VBAC success. Perinatal and
maternal morbidities of successful and failed VBAC did not significantly
differ from one another. CONCLUSIONS: This study provided local evidence
and valuable perspective in success factors which influence our
counselling and eventual management of patients with a previous cesarean
section.

Objective: The inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) is associated with cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in various populations. However, data in patients with type 2 diabetes is limited. We assessed the association of IL-6 with cardiovascular and kidney outcomes in the CANVAS trial and determined the effect of canagliflozin on IL-6.

Research Design and Methods: Patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk were randomly assigned to canagliflozin or placebo. Plasma IL-6 was measured at baseline and year 1, 3, and 6. The composite cardiovascular outcome was non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, or cardiovascular death; the composite kidney outcome was sustained ≥40% eGFR decline, end-stage kidney disease, or kidney-related death. Multivariable adjusted Cox proportional hazard regression was used to estimate the associations between IL-6 and outcomes. The effect of canagliflozin on IL-6 over time was assessed with a repeated measures mixed effect model.

Results: The geometric mean IL-6 at baseline, available in 3503 (80.2%) participants, was 1.7 pg/mL. Each doubling of baseline IL-6 was associated with 14% (95%CI 4, 24) and 21% (95%CI 1, 45) increased risk of cardiovascular and kidney outcomes, respectively. Over 6 years, IL-6 increased by 5.8% (95% CI 3.4, 8.3) in the placebo group. Canagliflozin modestly attenuated the IL-6 increase (absolute percentage difference versus placebo 4.4% [95% CI 1.3, 9.9; p=0.01]). At year 1, each 25% lower level of IL-6 compared to baseline was associated with 7% (95%CI 1, 22) and 14% (95%CI 5, 22) lower risks for the cardiovascular and kidney outcome, respectively.  

Conclusions/interpretation: In patients with type 2 diabetes at high cardiovascular risk, baseline IL-6 and its 1-year change were associated with cardiovascular and kidney outcomes.  The effect of IL-6 lowering therapy on cardiovascular, kidney, and safety outcomes remains to be tested.

 
Perspectives on the Global Impact and Effectiveness of Covid-19 Vaccines against Emerging SARS-Cov-2 variant Omicron
Authors: Golla Upendarrao
Published: September 2022

The new Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant of Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was reported on November 2021 in South Africa and classified as a variant of concern by WHO. It spread globally in a very short span and became a predominant variant in several countries. The emerging Omicron variant is a highly transformed virus with more than 50 mutations, and the majority were found in Spike (S) protein that interacts with human cells. This Covid-19 outbreak resulted in more than 5 million deaths with an ongoing hike in morbidity and mortality, leaving economic recession worldwide. Currently, several Covid-19 vaccines have been approved that mainly were rely on S-protein. As the SARS-CoV-2 virus evolves to get fit and escape host immunity, the effectiveness of existing Covid-19 vaccines against the new variants needs to be addressed. Here, we have presented various perspectives on the global impact of new variant Omicron and ongoing vaccine developments to fight against dangerous future variants with high transmissibility and evade host neutralizing antibodies.

Anemia Risk in Relation to Occupational and Environmental Lead Exposure among Inhabitants of Enyigba Lead-Zinc Mining Community in Ebonyi State, Nigeria
Authors: C Otuu Fred
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Environmental and occupational exposure to lead contamination is associated with numerous adverse health effects. This study brought forth the case of anemia risk in relation to occupational and environmental lead exposure among inhabitants of Enyigba lead-zinc mining community, in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. Methodology: Blood samples (4mls) were collected from 150 consented participants, by venopuncture and preserved in plain vacutaner bottles. Blood-lead concentration was determined using FS 240AA atomic absorption spectrophotometer (Agilent Technology, USA) according to the method of American Public Health Association. The iron status (total iron, unsaturated iron binding capacity, ferritin, total iron binding capacity, transferin) and hematological indices (hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cell count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration) were determined according to standard methods. An interviewer-administered structured questionnaire designed to reflect basic demographic features was administered to the subjects. Correlation analyses were used to investigate the relationships between blood lead concentrations and hematological indices, iron status and related confounders. Results: The mean blood lead concentrations (BPbC) of the participants were: occupationally–exposed, 42.30 ±10.90 µg/dl; environmentally-exposed, 28.66 ± 9.12µg/dl; Controls, 4.76 ±2.16 µg/dl. There were significant differences (p < 0.05 for each) between the blood lead concentrations of the exposed participants and the control. The mean blood iron concentrations (BFeC) of the participants were: occupationally exposed 29.54 ± 4.23 µg/dl; Environmentally-exposed, 41.97 ± 7.44µg/dl; Controls, 55.00 (23.19±23.19 µg/dl. There were significant differences (p < 0.05 for each) between the blood iron concentrations of the exposed participants and the control. There were significant negative correlations between blood lead concentration (BPbC) and each of the hematological indices: RBC (r = -0.165, p<0.05), Hb (r = -0.506, p<0.001), Hct (r = -0.478, p<0.001), MCV (r = -0.408, p<0.001), MCH (r = -0.397, p<0.001) as well as MCHC (r= -0.385, p<0.001). Conclusion: There was anemia risk in relation to occupational and environmental lead exposure among the inhabitants of the Enyigba lead-zinc mining community.
Acetylcholinesterase Inhibition of Marine Fish (Rastrelliger kanagurta) by Organophosphorus Pesticides as Biomarker of Neurotoxicants
Authors: Sarkar Anupam
Published: September 2022

This paper evaluated the inhibitory effects of various phosphorothioates (Ethyl parathion and Chlorpyriphos) and phosphates (DDVP, Monocrotophos and Phosphamidon) on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) of marine Mackerel fish (Rastrelliger kanagurta) from the Goa coast. The characteristics of the AChE enzymes isolated from different tissues of the fishes for their affinity towards the substrate were determined by the Michaelis Menten constants. The pseudocholinesterase activity was also measured in the muscle tissues in terms of Butyryl-cholinesterase (BChE) activity of the fish. The AChE activity was found to be predominant in the Brain, gills, liver and muscle tissues. However, no significant BChE activity was observed in the muscle tissue. Among the five organophosphorus pesticides, DDVP was found to be most toxic with least I50 values (0.99±0.04nM) followed by Chlorpyriphos (I50, 24.59±2.86 nM), Ethyl Parathion (I50, 183.21±11.68 nM), Monocrotophos (I50, 13536.93±1292.94 nM) and Phosphamidon (I50, 21433.1±2651.96 nM) in the decreasing order. The I50 values of all other pesticides decreased considerably with respect to DDVP. The relative neurotoxicity of the pesticides decreased by an order of magnitude in the case of Chlorpyriphos followed by Ethyl Parathion by an order of magnitude whereas in the case of Monocrotophos and Phosphamidon the toxicity decreased significantly by an order of magnitude. The variation in the muscle AChE inhibition by the organophosphorus pesticides can be attributed to the sensitivity of the enzyme for each of the pesticides as observed by the bimolecular inhibition constants (KII). The muscle AChE inhibition of Rastrelliger kanagurta can be used as biomarker for bio- monitoring of neurotoxic contaminants in the marine environment.
Toxicological Diagnosis of Severe Neutropenia Due to Levamisole
Authors: Massimo F Montisci
Published: September 2022

Introduction: Levamisole toxic syndrome may include several effects, such as bone marrow suppression, severe agranulocytosis, neurological symptoms, or cutaneous vasculitis. Methodology: This report emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis in young patients with severe neutropenia by hair toxicological analyses. These analyses can reveal the presence of cocaine and his metabolites but also sometime levamisole, a synthetic drug, originally approved by the US Food and Drug Administration as an anthelmintic agent that is still encountered as one of the main contaminants of cocaine. Many physicians are not aware of this contaminant and do not take it into account when diagnosing cases of sudden severe neutropenia. Results: In cases of sudden otherwise unexplained neutropenia, the detection of levamisole in hair may represent the most efficient method for demonstrating the toxic effect of chronic levamisole exposure, because urine conventional drug testing often fails to identify the compound due to its rapid elimination (2-3 days).

Introduction: Middle-long distance running sports have been gaining popularity, especially among veteran athletes, and their regular clinical assessment and the Sports Medical Examination (SME) are essential for risk stratification. Objectives: To characterize the sport practice of veteran middle long distance running athletes in Portugal; to assess the prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors; to know the assessment methodology and the clinical follow-up performed. Methods and Results: A questionnaire was designed and sent to athletes who have participated in events of the Portuguese Trail Running Association. Demographic, exercise, and clinical characteristics and the clinical evaluation methodology were analyzed. A total of 455 athletes were included (81.5% men; 45.96.8 years), 49% federated, with 7±4 hours of weekly training, 12.3% of which were ultraendurance trail runners. Most (62.3%) denied CV risk factors, but 14.1% had at least one (7.7% dyslipidaemia; 6.2% smoking) and 6.6% known CV disease. Less than half (46.8%) had up-to-date SME for the current season, and in 41.8% the complementary exams were prescribed by General and Family Medicine physicians, in 29.4% Sports Medicine and 20.7% Cardiology. The vast majority of athletes (81.0%) provided the SME on their own initiative, 59% reported being regularly followed by a doctor, but 47.4% of these did not present an updated SME. Conclusion: The percentage of veteran middle-long distance running athletes with up-to-date SME and regular medical evaluations is far from ideal. It is important to alert to the importance of clinical assessment of extreme exercise athletes for its ability in early detection of exercise-induced pathological adaptations and CV diseases that may lead to serious clinical complications.
