ABSTRACT Objective: To compare reference intervals (RI) of blood counts of Brazilian adults with and without sickle cell trait (SCT). Methods: Cross-sectional study, based on the National Health Survey, 2014-2015, composed of 8,952 individuals. The sample of patients with SCT was composed of 234 adults. The RIs of adults with and without SCT were compared in the study “Reference values for laboratory tests of blood count in the Brazilian adult population: National Health Survey”, by Rosenfeld et al. (2019). The parametric method and the Student's t test were used for comparison (p≤0.05). Results: There were statistically significant differences between RIs of adults with and without SCT as far as sex is concerned for hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, MCHC, white blood cells, absolute lymphocytes, mean platelet volume and RDW; At all ages, for white blood cells and RDW in men and for MCV, MCH, MCHC, mean platelet volume and RDW in women; Between 18 to 59 years, for MCH, MCV, MCHC, neutrophils, lymphocytes and platelets in men and in women for lymphocytes, red blood cells, white blood cells, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes and platelets; From 60 years old on, for hemoglobin and hematocrit in men and in women for hematocrit, white blood cells, neutrophils and platelets; In white, black and brown people for white blood cells, neutrophils and platelets (p<0.05). Conclusion: Brazilian adults with SCT had lower counts of hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, MCHC, white blood cells and higher RDW than without SCT. The results show the importance of genetic counseling and further research to support the proper management of this condition in Brazil.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the reference intervals (RIs) of complete blood count parameters in the Brazilian adult population. Methods: Cross-sectional study, with data from the National Health Survey (Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde – PNS), between 2014–2015. The final sample consisted of 2,803 adults. To establish the RIs, exclusion criteria were applied, outliers were removed and partitions were made by gender, age, and race/skin color. The non-parametric method was adopted. Differences were assessed using the Mann Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests (p≤0.05). Results: There were statistically significant differences for the following hematological parameters based on gender, red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, MCH, MCHC, eosinophils and absolute monocytes, neutrophils and platelets (p≤0.05). When analyzed by age, the RIs were statistically different in females for hematocrit, MCV, white blood cells and RDW and in males for red blood cells, white blood cells, eosinophils, mean platelet volume, MCV, RDW, and MCH (p≤0.05). For race/color, there were differences in the RIs for parameters of hemoglobin, MCH, MCHC, white blood cells and mean platelet volume, neutrophils and absolute eosinophils (p≤0.05). Conclusion: The differences found in the RIs of some in blood count parameters in Brazilian adults reaffirm the importance of having their own laboratory reference standards. The results can support a more accurate interpretation of tests, adequate identification and disease prevention in Brazil.
From liberalizing reforms to post-global financial crisis times: how the IMF changed its view on capital account liberalization and capital controls
Authors: Angelico Diego , Oliveira Giuliano Contento de
Published: April 2023

Abstract The view of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on capital account liberalization and capital controls has undergone important reassessments over the past two and a half decades. Several financial crises, including the 2007-2008 global financial one (GFC), propelled it to partially defend the use of capital controls to eliminate certain dysfunctions, such as financial risks and pressures on exchange rate appreciation. Our study shows that this reorientation in the scope of IMF articles also configured a response to empirical studies that pointed to flaws in orthodox theory about capital account liberalization and those that investigated the effectiveness of capital controls in emerging economies in the post-global financial crisis period. However, we are yet to find no explicit defense in favor of the use of capital controls and the permanent management of exchange rates, despite relevant empirical evidence indicating the effectiveness of these measures.
Evolução do emprego feminino no mercado de trabalho brasileiro: uma análise shift-share entre 2003 e 2018
Authors: Carvalho Polliany Aparecida de , Viego Valentina
Published: April 2023

Resumo Nos últimos três quinquênios, o Brasil reduziu consideravelmente o gap de emprego entre homens e mulheres: enquanto o emprego formal masculino aumentou 46% entre 2003 e 2018, o feminino cresceu 74%, constatando maior participação das mulheres no mercado de trabalho. Essa tendência é compartilhada na região da América Latina. Parte disso pode ser explicado por fatores setoriais (hipótese de segregação), especificamente a saída das mulheres dos empregos nos setores agrícola e industrial e o aumento do emprego feminino nos serviços. O objetivo deste artigo é decompor as fontes de variação do emprego feminino no Brasil no período de 2003-2018. A análise é baseada no método shift-share, que permite mensurar, por meio da decomposição do crescimento do emprego, a contribuição agregada, setorial e de gênero. Os cálculos são apresentados para três subperíodos: 2003-2011, 2011-2014 e 2014-2018, os quais correspondem a diferentes fases dinâmicas do mercado de trabalho brasileiro. Os resultados mostraram que os componentes que mais impulsionaram o emprego feminino foi o agregado, seguido de gênero.
ESCOLHAS LINGUÍSTICAS E VALORES CULTURAIS NA CONSTRUÇÃO INTERACIONAL DE PEDIDOS DE BRASILEIROS E ITALIANOS
Authors: Santoro Elisabetta , Porcellato Adriana Mendes
Published: April 2023

Resumo O pedido pode ser considerado um “ato social básico” utilizado no cotidiano em variados contextos. Parte-se aqui do pressuposto que sua força ilocucionária se constrói em movimentos interacionais, que definem o agir linguístico entre convencionalidade e intencionalidade. A análise de interações pode ajudar a compreender esses movimentos, ainda mais se forem comparadas línguas e culturas. Para esse fim, foram investigados 40 role plays, gravados por italianos e brasileiros, nos quais foram controladas as variáveis: distância social, idade e grau de imposição. As transcrições foram anotadas, com o objetivo de verificar como se constrói a sequência interacional e quais são os elementos que a constituem. Foram observadas convergências nas principais escolhas linguísticas que determinam a construção da sequência interacional nas duas línguas, mas também diferenças, principalmente quanto ao contato estabelecido com o interlocutor, baseado em valores culturais distintos: a empatia para os brasileiros, e o respeito do território alheio para os italianos.

Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Purpose The Orofacial Myofunctional Evaluation with Scores (OMES) protocol has been validated and used in clinical practice and research. The goals of this study were to develop, analyze and improve a version of OMES for the Web and to investigate the relationship between the usability judgments and the prior experience of the evaluators and whether using the interface promotes learning, as shown by the task completion time (TCT). Methods Study steps: 1) inspection of the prototype by the team; 2) evaluation of usability by three experienced speech-language pathologists (SLPs); and 3) evaluation of its usability by 12 SLPs with varying levels of experience in the use of OMES. Participants answered the Heuristic evaluation (HE), the Computer System Usability Questionnaire (CSUQ), and expressed free comments. The TCT was recorded. Results The OMES-Web reached excellent usability levels, and the participants were highly satisfied. The correlations between the participants’ experience and the HE and CSUQ scores were not significant. The TCT decreased significantly throughout the tasks. Conclusion OMES-Web meets the usability criteria, and participants feel satisfied with the system regardless of their level of experience. The fact that it is easy to learn favors its adoption by professionals.

Simplified DEWS test for steel fibre-reinforced concrete characterisation
Authors: Monte Renata , Pereira Ludmily da Silva , Figueiredo Antonio Domingues de , Blanco Ana , Bitencourt Júnior Luís Antônio Guimarães
Published: April 2023

Abstract Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) is internationally recognised as a structural material in the fib Model Code 2010 and at a national level in the recently published ABNT standard NBR 16935, which establishes the structural design procedure based on post-cracking parameters. This publication should foster an increase in the number of applications of FRC in Brazil in the next years. In this context, many researchers have investigated the use of the DEWS test for the FRC characterisation as an alternative to the three-point bending test (3PBT) usually recommended by standards. The DEWS test is conducted by applying a compressive load on specimens with triangular grooves that induce a pure mode‑I tensile fracture. Despite the advantages of the test, such as a smaller specimen and simpler testing procedure to obtain the anisotropic/orthotropic material properties, it still requires transducers to measure crack opening and generate the triangular grooves in the specimen, which is more complex, and labour demanding. This study addresses these issues by proposing a simplified test method and preparation consisting of removing the transducers (correlating the machine stroke and the crack opening) and generating the triangular groves during the casting instead of sawing afterwards. These modifications made the testing procedure much easier to perform. The experimental program assesses the modifications in the DEWS test setup and their influence on the post-cracking characterisation of FRC. Additionally, the effective fibre content and orientation were assessed by performing the inductive test. The results show that FRC characterisation can be successfully conducted using a simpler configuration of the DEWS test. This alternative test presents some advantages in comparison with the 3PBT test for FRC quality control, especially the lower volume of material and the test control by machine displacement.

Published: April 2023

Abstract The Helminthological Collection of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute is the biggest in Latin America and it is among the largest collections at worldwide reference level, with around 40,000 sets of specimens and approximately one million individual specimens. It contains helminths parasites of vertebrate and invertebrate animals that form part of the fauna of Brazil and other countries. The samples comprise holotypes, paratypes and representative specimens of Platyhelminthes, Acanthocephala, Nematoda and other non-helminth phyla, such as Annelida and Arthropoda. Some of the samples preserved in liquid media were found to have dried out. This made it impossible to analyze these samples morphologically for taxonomic purposes. The aim of this study was to test techniques used for rehydration of the tegument of specimens that had been found to have dried out and present protocols for such techniques. A total of 528 specimens that either no longer were immersed in preservatives or had already dried out were analyzed: 96 digenetic trematodes, 45 cestodes, 22 acanthocephalans, 357 nematodes, four hirudineans and four pentastomid crustaceans. The technique of rehydration using only distilled water on the specimens proved to be efficient for recovering tegument malleability, for all samples analyzed in this present study.
Die Brücke
Authors: Stamm-Kuhlmann Thomas
Published: April 2023

In Glienicke ist Berlin zu Ende. Wenn man über die Brücke gefahren ist, ist man in Potsdam. Im Kalten Krieg konnte man diese Brücke gar nicht passieren, es sei denn, man war ein Spion, der ausgetauscht und in sein Friedenslager zurückgeschickt wurde. Über die Brücke führte die Chaussee, die 1788 bis 1794 zwischen den Residenzstädten Berlin und Potsdam angelegt worden ist. Bis heute heißt sie Königstraße, denn hier war der König tatsächlich unterwegs, wenn er, wie so häufig, seinen Wohnsitz von Berlin-Mitte oder Charlottenburg ins Potsdamer Stadtschloss oder nach Sanssouci und wieder zurückverlegte. Auf Berliner Seite endete die Berlin-Potsdamer Chaussee am Potsdamer Tor. Von hier aus war es nicht weit bis zum Dönhoffplatz, Standort des Null-Meilen-Zeigers für die Entfernungsangabe nach Potsdam. Am Dönhoffplatz in der Leipziger Straße 75 stand das Palais des Ministers und späteren Staatskanzlers Karl August von Hardenberg, den König Friedrich Wilhelm III. 1814 in den Fürstenrang erhob.
Ach, Pfaueninsel: Animal, triste!
Authors: Studthoff Dorothea
Published: April 2023

Im Januar 2022 begegnen mir auf der Pfaueninsel eine stattliche Anzahl Pfauen, aber nur sehr wenige Säugetiere, lediglich ein paar Schafe und ein Empathiemagnet in Ponyform, die geringe Größe deutet darauf hin, dass es ein Shetland-Pony ist. Apathisch steht es mit gesenktem Kopf neben dem Zaun, der Hals so dünn, dass ich ihn mit einem Arm umfassen könnte. Es steht zwar gut im Futter, sieht aber so aus, als hätte es die Menagerie von Friedrich III. noch mit den eigenen Augen gesehen, von denen eines hellblau und milchig ist. Mit dem anderen sieht es in Richtung Havel und Ufer. Ein reizvoller Ausblick, der dem Pony vermutlich vollkommen egal ist. Shetland-Ponys haben Tradition auf der Pfaueninsel: Der Opernsänger Heinrich Blume beschenkte 1833 den König mit einem Paar samt Kutsche, um damit auf der Insel, seiner Sommerresidenz und Standort seiner Menagerie, umherzufahren.
Zwei Vignetten 1874/1941
Authors: Matthiesen Michael
Published: April 2023

Am Heckeshorn in Wannsee sitzt ein Löwe und schaut auf das Wasser hinaus. Die Namen dort sind ursprünglich Flurnamen, die wie etwa Sandwerder und Schwanenwerder auch wechseln konnten. Als 1863 der umtriebige Bankier Wilhelm Conrad begann, zusammen mit Freunden aus dem «Club von Berlin» und ausgehend von «Stimmings Krug» eine Kolonie als exklusive Filiale zum Tiergartenviertel anzulegen, sollte sie zunächst noch «Schweiz» heißen, in Anspielung auf ähnliche Landschaftsmodelle in Holstein und Sachsen. In der Liebe zum Wannsee ließ Conrad sich nicht so leicht übertreffen. Der Bankier drehte schon frühmorgens seine Runden im See, als das freie Baden noch mit Strafzettel strengstens untersagt war. Conrad ging strategisch vor. Er ersetzte als Erstes die alte Gaststätte durch eine eigene Villa, lockte den Seglerverein der Unterhavel in das neue Seglerhaus am Westufer und betrieb die Anlage einer separaten Bahnlinie, die ab 1874 bei Zehlendorf die Hauptstrecke verließ und sie bei Nowawes (Babelsberg) wieder erreichte.
Wir Menschen vom Sommer 1929
Authors: Seidl Claudius
Published: April 2023

Die Rezeptionsgeschichte dieses Films beginnt, lange bevor die Produktion überhaupt abgeschlossen ist. Das Filmteam hat es eilig; es überholt sich gewissermaßen selbst. Am 23.Juli 1929 erscheint in der Tageszeitung Tempo ein Artikel, den ein gewisser Billie Wilder verfasst hat. Tempo kommt abends, der Name ist Programm. Billie Wilder ist 23, er schreibt für Berliner Zeitungen und hat Ambitionen als Drehbuchautor. Erst Jahre später, in den Vereinigten Staaten, wird er lernen, dass Billie der Frauenname ist. Und sich fortan Billy Wilder nennen. Der Text klingt, bei erster, flüchtiger Lektüre, wie eine Rezension: das hymnische Lob eines Films, den es aber noch gar nicht gibt. Dann merkt man, es ist die Ankündigung, ja das Versprechen, dass etwas geschehen werde im deutschen Film. Etwas Neues, nie Dagewesenes. «Wir vom Filmstudio», das ist die Überschrift; wer gemeint ist, wird erst später offenbart. Und bevor das Neue beschrieben wird, muss das Alte verworfen werden.
The right to privacy in the decriminalisation of psilocybin mushrooms in South Africa
Authors: Foster Sebastian William
Published: April 2023

This article assesses the right to privacy as a ground for challenging the constitutionality of the criminalisation of psilocybin mushrooms. In doing so, it discusses the right to privacy as found in section 14 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Constitution). Drawing on Constitutional Court case law, the article argues that the right to privacy is a fundamental right that deserves paramount protection, even in instances where individuals engage in illicit activities within the confines of their personal realm of privacy. Accordingly, the prohibiting laws, notably the Drugs and Drug Trafficking Act 140 of 1992 and the Medicines and Related Substances Act 101 of 1965, do prima facie limit an individual's right to privacy, and therefore an analysis in terms of section 36 of the Constitution is necessary. A section-36 limitations analysis is accordingly presented, through which it is concluded that the nature and importance of the limited right outweighs the importance and purpose of the criminalisation. This paper argues that the current articles of legislation, which criminalise psilocybin mushrooms, are not justifiable, in that they unjustifiably limit the right to privacy. As such, the criminalisation of psilocybin mushrooms falls short of the standards implemented in section 36 of the Constitution and is concluded to be unconstitutional. Keywords: privacy; psilocybin mushrooms; constitutionality; limitations analysis; constitutional interpretation; drug law reform.
The African Union's quest for a "peaceful and secure Africa": An assessment of Aspiration Four of Agenda 2063
Authors: Mushoriwa Linda
Published: April 2023

This article undertakes a comprehensive assessment of the African Union (AU)'s Agenda 2063 Aspiration 4: A peaceful and secure Africa and the progress made at continental level towards it. Aspiration 4 is informed by the AU's acknowledgment that the scourge of conflict on the continent plays a significant role in hampering socioeconomic development. Against this background, the article examines the role played by the AU and its regional economic communities (RECs) in response to armed conflict on the continent, as exemplified by the AU and Southern African Development Community (SADC) response to the Cabo Delgado conflict in northern Mozambique. The AU's response to the recent surge of military coups in Africa is also examined, with a focus on the coups in Sudan in 2019 and 2021. The article concludes that the Agenda 2063 blueprint is a useful tool for the continental body when dealing with the scourge of conflicts and unconstitutional changes of governments, which threatens to hamper the AU's developmental agenda.
Beyond labels: Executive action and the duty to consult
Authors: Ally Nurina , Murcott Melanie J
Published: April 2023

Whether executive action attracts a duty to consult has been contested judicial terrain. In this article, we aim to contribute to the development of a principled approach to requiring consultation in executive decision-making. We grapple with the distinction between procedural fairness as a requirement of just administrative action and procedural rationality as a requirement of the principle of legality. We then move beyond these labels by engaging with the values underlying the Constitution's vision of participatory democracy. Despite contradictions in the case law, we suggest that the developing requirement of "procedural rationality" as a basis for a duty to consult offers fertile ground for advancing the values of accountability, responsiveness, and openness in executive decision-making. We therefore encourage recognition of participatory democracy as the normative framework within which the rationality of executive decision-making should be substantively assessed. Finally, we demonstrate that links between participatory democracy, a duty to consult, and executive decision-making have some grounding in existing case law, which, we argue, can be further developed.
Houses on Fire: The Hauntologies of Sankomota
Authors: Swinney Warrick
Published: April 2023

The following essay is part of a body of work titled Signal to Noise: sound and fury in (post)apartheid South Africa. These are a collection of creative non-fiction essays set against the backdrop of my involvement with a small, independent mobile recording studio based in Johannesburg between 1983 and 1997. The metaphor of a drowning signal, pushing through and making itself heard above the noise, resonates throughout the collection. The complexities of the political versus artistic nature of what we were involved with provide a setting for an anecdotal approach to what is part history, part biography, part memoir and part theoretical sonic exploration. The following essay falls into this approach and is constructed from memories enhanced by diaries, scrap-books, shards of notes, lyrics, photos and conversations. These have been employed in reconstructing a narrative arc that covers the recording of the first album made by the band Sankomota, who were banned from entry into South Africa and were based in Maseru, mostly playing to audiences at one of the leading hotels. Sankomota, then called Uhuru, experienced extraordinary, almost metaphysical, peaks and troughs throughout their nearly thirty-year existence hence the hauntological device in the title. The record was also the first made in our fledgling mobile studio using newly affordable equipment that kickstarted many such do-it-yourself projects worldwide. This was the first in a steady stream of technologies that would eventually break the hegemony of mainstream record companies. In apartheid South Africa, this was hugely significant, as being able to sideline the censorship of state-owned media enterprises meant immense freedom in the kind of projects one came to consider. Savage incidents of force and brutality were still common then, and our small venture has to be seen in the context of broader unrest and suffering. Frank Leepa was an uncompromising survivor. His words and melodies still move and inspire a younger generation.
A contrastive look at the synonymic relationship of French and Slovak terms in the field of geriatrics
Authors: Ukušová Jana
Published: April 2023

This paper aims to discuss the synonymic relationship between equivalent French and Slovak specialised terms in the field of geriatrics, and the implications it may have when translating specialised (geriatric) texts. In the theoretical framework, medical terminology and, in particular, geriatric terminology, is defined with a specific focus on key characteristics of medical terms, drawing primarily on the works of Horecký (1956), Masár (1991), Pavlovič et al. (2011), Karwacka (2015) and others. The controversial role that synonymy may have in determining terminological equivalents is also discussed. Based on the classification by Karwacka (2015), synonymic pairs of geriatric terms identified during the phase of compilation of a terminological glossary in the field of geriatrics in French and Slovak are categorised into groups based on the nature of the synonymous term and illustrated with examples. Overall, five types of synonyms were identified (eponym – non-eponymous term; international – domestic term; term – colloquial name; English term – domestic term; term – acronym), which may pose challenges for medical translators.
Nursing and the resolution of ethical dilemmas.

Published: April 2023

Inherent to Nursing Care, ethical dimension includes having to decide about the dilemmas that arise in practice. Experience shows that generally we do not have a reference and then sufficient training to judge the ethical quality of our decisions and actions, reason why, in this article some methods are introduced that will facilitate this ethical analysis when faced with a conflict or dilemma that warrants it.
The problematization applied to the nursing administration
Authors: Oppitz de Lima e Cirne Ortiz Vargas Renata , Loewen Wall Marilene , Peres Aida Maris
Published: April 2023

The aim of this paper is to enhance reflections on the impact of the Brazilian National Curricular Guidelines in undergraduate Nursing education, in the subject Nursing Administration. Another aim is to cooperate with the elaboration of strategies to be developed for the construction of professional competences, in accordance with the education and professional qualification standards demanded in the job world. The guidelines prioritize the preparation of a generalist, critical and reflexive nurse, with competences and skills to act in distinct realities, mainly in the Unified Health System. The importance of teachers’ active, encouraging and problematizing participation is emphasized, helping students to gain “knowledge” and “know-how” in their academic education, permitting competency development for nursing education.
Medical construction of midwifery. Representations and practices
Authors: Montes María Jesús
Published: April 2023

Objective. To describe how discourse has been constructed regarding parturition (delivery) and the need for medical intervention in Spain.

Methodology. This was a qualitative study. Interviews were conducted with seven midwives who practiced in Cataluña (Spain) during the middle of the last century. Their opinions were compared to medical discourse gathered from research published in the Spanish Journal on Obstetrics and Gynecology (Revista Española de Obstetricia y Ginecología) between 1954 and 1960.

Results. Against the normality of the evolution of most parturitions reported by the stories of the midwives, in medical definitions these appear as problematic or altered in their duration and by the presence of pain, justifying their systematic interventions; although the aforementioned poses a risk for women and their offspring. As a result, the discourse defining most deliveries as pathological is reaffirmed.

Conclusion. The medical system constructed midwifery as a surgical process. Women are engaged in other more realistic constructions in agreement to their needs. Care at birth is perceived as a cultural construction and, hence, susceptible to change.
Permanent education in health. An instrument to enhance interpersonal relations in nursing work
Authors: Rocha Laurelize , Ribeiro Juliane
Published: April 2023

This is a reflexive study about the need to adopt Permanent Education in Health, as an instrument capable of transforming interpersonal relations in nursing work, as it values and respect collective construction with a view to the qualification of care. Privileging specialization programs only, with a focus on work techniques, on educative processes, as a training strategy for health services, ends up reinforcing the fragmentation of care, teams and the work process. In conclusion, Permanent Education in Health serves not only as teaching and learning practice to update and transform practices, but also influences team relations, transforming joint action processes and, at the same time, implying each subject-worker involved in health practices.
Menstruation in history.
Authors: Gomez Pio Ivan , Pardo Yaira Yohanna , Hernandez Helena Patricia , Jimenez Sandra Patricia , Pardo Juan Carlos
Published: April 2023

Objective. To review historical constructs on menstruation.

Methodology. Non-systematic review of the literature complemented with consultations with national academic authorities.

Results. Menstruation is an experience that involves women and their social group, becoming a relevant event. Treatment of menstrual symptoms is linked to the cultural context in which it is developed. The menstruation experience varies according to popular beliefs, cultural characteristics, and information received to this respect within the social group where the woman is. Menstruation exceeds the imaginary that places it only within the feminine setting; It is a process that involves the social group, inasmuch as it has psycho-social and cultural implications.

Conclusion. A relationship exists between menstruation, as a biological event, and the social processes per se, influenced by the historical beliefs that have been transmitted generation after generation.

Thirty years divulging Nursing Research and Education
Authors: Rodríguez Gázquez María de los Ángeles
Published: April 2023

Thirty years ago, the Faculty of Nursing at Universidad de Antioquia fulfilled one of its dreams: the creation of the journal Investigación y Educación en Enfermería.1 The first number of the Journal was issued on September 1983 during the celebration of the 3rd National Colloquium on Nursing Research, held in our University. Among the preparations for the event´s organization, an inventory was made of the research conducted by nursing professionals in the department of Antioquia - Colombia.2 The results of this task3 revealed that research was being undertaken since the 1970s and that its invisibility was due to the scarce publication of its findings.
Asking for support. The case of families with children suffering cancer
Authors: Cacante C Jasmín V , Arias Valencia María Mercedes
Published: April 2023

Objective: to describe the process of support that families of children with cancer experience during their oncology illness. Methodology: a study with grounded theory approach carried out by 18 interviews to mothers in different moments of the child illness, during 2005 and 2006. Results: families assume the larger part of the care burden, especially the mothers activating support networks, arousing sympathy and looking for help until they find it. Conclusions: the needs and forms of support change according to the phase of the illness. Observing the formal and informal support networks we find them insufficient and accordingly a solidarity network should emerge. In any case mothers are the principal support of the suffering children.

Published: April 2023

Objective:  to describe the patients meaning of the experience of being hospitalized in an ICU.

Methodology: research study with phenomenological focus of nine mature people between 24 and 80 years of age who were critically sick and hospitalized in an ICU.  The in- depth interview and non participant observation were the techniques for gathering information. The data were analyzed according to the outline proposed by Cohen, Kahan and Steeves. The study was carried out in Medellín, Colombia from April to October, 2006. 

Results and discussion: the ICU is a place for loneliness, cold, special odor and silence where words were “absent”, “incomprehensible”, “not for hearing”, “not pronounced” and “agreeable”. The communication was not always adequate and the company was offered by other sick   people; besides, patient played a secondary role in front of technology and was necessary to be “good patient”.

Conclusions: the hospitalization meant to be alone, isolated of the family, surrounded by other patients and the team of health members whose company sometimes was not enough. Staying in an ICU adds to the suffering during a serious illness

THE SO-CALLED “QUALITATIVE RESEARCH”: FROM THEIR EVOLUTION DYNAMICS TO THEIR UNDENIABLE ACHIEVEMENTS AND PRESENT CHALLENGES
Authors: Anadón Marta
Published: April 2023

This document summarizes an analysis regarding studies classified as “qualitative”, research that is not independent from the general trend of developed social studies.  Particularly, this study emphasizes that the qualitative focuses within studies have solidified their place in genuine science.  Within these “qualitative” approaches, and procedures have become well established and even a point of reference for scientific analyses.  This new balance within science brings us to think about these advancements because these qualitative studies, with aims to understand the diversity of human expression (within arts, dance, literature, and other esthetic forms), currently have been degraded with the outbreak of uncontrolled research aimed to disprove or legitimize claims.

Problem-Based Learning method is based on constructivist theories of learning, the principles of adult learning and the development of andragogical models. Its objective is to help students develop skills to direct their own learning. Objective: to analyse the role of professors of the bachelor’s degree in nursing as facilitators of self-directed learning Licenciatura in nursing of the University of Colima Mexico. Methodology: with the use of a descriptive survey integrated with 20 items answered by 121 students, we assessed the role of the professors of a bachelor’s degree in nursing. The 20 items assessed three areas of the facilitation process: Management of information, group process and reflection and critical thinking. These items were verified with Cronbach’s alpha and a reliability of 0.96. Results: when the KruskalWallis survey was conducted, statistically signi.cant differences were found only with regard to the “Group processing” dimension among sophomores and juniors (H = 6.77; P < 0.05). Even though no statistically signi.cant differences were found with regard to the other dimensions, it is possible to detect shifts in the students’ opinion trend about the role of tutors. Conclusion: The overall average score per scale makes it possible to conclude that the “the work of the tutor” is viewed favourably, considering that the students report that their tutor “almost always” facilitates, assists, promotes or collaborates on the development of the skills for being a self directed learner.
