Published: December 2021

The use of an integrated sensor element as an addition of inverter, which converts the resistance of a sensitive element into the level of the output pulse signal, is investigated. Inverter circuits with different control options for sub-channel areas of MOS transistors are modeled in the LTSpice program. Based on the simulation results, dependencies graphs of the output signal amplitude on the resistance of a sensitive element and sensor’s sensitivity are drawn, and the shapes of the output signals are shown.
Comparison of quota sampling and stratified random sampling
Authors: Iliyasu Rufai , Etikan Ilker
Published: December 2021

The possibility that researchers should be able to obtain data from all cases is questionable. There is a need; therefore, this article provides a probability and non-probability sampling. In this paper we studied the differences and similarities of the two with approach that is more of fritter away time, cost sufficient with energy required throughout the sample observed. The pair shows the differences and similarities between them, different articles were reviewed to compare the two. Quota sampling and Stratified sampling are close to each other. Both require the division into groups of the target population. The main goal of both methods is to select a representative sample and facilitate sub-group research. There are major variations, however. Stratified sampling uses simple random sampling when the categories are generated; sampling of the quota uses sampling of availability. For stratified sampling, a sampling frame is necessary, but not needed for quota sampling. More specifically, stratified sampling is a method of probability sampling which enables the calculation of the sampling error. For quota samples, this is not possible. Quota sampling is therefore primarily used by market analysts rather than stratified sampling, as it is mostly cost-effective and easy to conduct and has the appealing equity of satisfying population reach. However, it disguises potentially significant bias.

Published: December 2021

Empire Turf® was the first national cultivar developed, compared to traditional Emerald grass, the Empire is characterized by fast establishment, high erosion control, tolerance to irrigation with non-drinking water, firmer carpets, good drought and salinity tolerance, shading and low demands on soil fertility. However, despite all these desirable characteristics, the development and establishment of the grass will depend on its handling and especially on the substrate in which it is installed. Thus, this study evaluated the development of Empire Turf® conducted on three substrates, with chemical fertilization. The experiment was carried out in containers (volume of 8.5 L) filled with the treatments: T1 - soil; T2 - soil + sand + soil conditioner (1v:1v:1v) and T3 - soil + sand (1v:1v), forming a completely randomized design with three treatments and three repetitions, considering each container as an experimental unit. On March 30, 2019, the first evaluation was carried out, then the treatments received chemical fertilization (NPK+S 13-5-13+14), using 20g of the commercial product diluted in 2L of water, being a single dose per container. After 15 days, in the 2nd evaluation, it was evaluated: foliar chemical analysis, the foliar chlorophyll index (FCI), fresh mass (FM) and dry mass (DM). The results indicated that Empire Turf® presents a rapid response of 15 days, after maintenance fertilization with 10g L-1 of NPK+S (13-5-13+14), having better development when cultivated in soil + sand compound substrate (1v:1v).

Authors: Abdelrhman, Amged Hussien , bdelrahman Abdelgadir Enaam A
Published: December 2021

ackground: Anemia of chronic disease is anemia found in certain chronic disease state, is typically marked by the disturbance of iron homeostasis or hypoferremia. This condition leads to shortage of iron for hemoglobin synthesis but the iron storage in bone morrow is left undisturbed. Patients with chronic kidney disease are usually anemic because of defective erythropoeisis and inflammation. Materials and methods: Some of red blood cell profile (Hb, PCV, RBCs count and RBCs indices) were determined by the automated Hematology Analyzer and Cobas e 411 was used to determine the levels of serum iron, ferritin, TIBC, and transferrin saturation percentage. Enzyme – Linked immunoassay (ELISA) was used to determine the level of hepcidin. Results: The results show the mean of the RBCS profile (RBCs count, Hb, PCV) (3.353±88cell/l, 10.62±2.4g/dl, 32.59±6.82%) in patients with ACKD Vs (4.048±0.47cell/l, 12.52±1.57g/dl, 37.92±4.79%) in control groups P.value (0.000, 0.000, and 0.000) respectively. Serum hepcidin levels higher in patients with ACKD compared with healthy controls mean (161.55±29.8ng/ml Vs 82.05±13.4ng/ml. P. value (0.000). The mean value of the iron profile, S. iron, S. ferritin and TS % (61.353±29,8ug/dl, 195.3.62±19.4ng/ml, 21.59±12.82%) in patients with ACKD Vs (82.048±0.47ug/dl, 80.52±1.57ng/ml, 28.92±4.79%) in control groups P.value (0.000, 0.000, and 0.000) respectively. Conclusion: In the present study there is significant association between CKD and RBCS profile (RBCs count, Hb, PCV). The hepcidin levels were significantly higher in patients with ACKD compared with healthy controls. The Statistical significant differences showed in the comparison between the study variables (RBCs profile, Iron profile, hepcidin level) and the end stage of CKD (dialysis dependent), in the RBCs count, Hb, PCV, S. iron, S.ferritin, TIBC.

Lung sensors in pulmonary diseases
Authors: Walker Jerome , Yu Jerry
Published: December 2021

Sensory information in the lung is mainly generated by airway sensors carried by the vagus nerves, yielding multiple reflex responses essential for breathing control and lung defense. When these sensors are activated in lung disease, they produce clinical signs, including cough, bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion, and alter disease course by reflexes and neuroimmune interaction.
Intrapulmonary mature teratoma: case report of an exceptional entity
Authors: el haj Najat Id , Boubia S. , Ridai M.
Published: December 2021

Teratomas are tumors consisting of tissues derived from more than one germ cell line. Criteria for pulmonary origin are exclusion of a gonadal or other extra-gonadal primary site and origin entirely within the lung. The intrapulmonary teratoma (IPT) is a rare type of teratoma extra-gonadal which often presents with nonspecific symptoms and wrongly can be diagnosed as other diseases. Here we report a patient with IPT who was initially misdiagnosed as pulmonary aspergilloma. We report a case of mature pulmonary teratoma in a 22-year-old male with no toxic habits, treated in 2007 for smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis, presenting progressively for 1 year, with a left chest pain, intermittent episodes of cough and hemoptysis, and dyspnea. A computed tomography (CT) chest scan showed a heterogeneous tumor with cavitary lesion in the left upper lobe. The patient had a left upper lobectomy with complete resection of the mediastinal mass. The patient is currently in good general condition, and does not present any complications or recurrence and thyroid function was normal during the long term follow up. Preoperative diagnosis of IPT is not always possible and is usually misdiagnosed early on due to its rarity, nonspecific and vague symptoms, normal lab results, and indistinguishable chest x-ray results. We report a case of intrapulmonary teratoma in a 22-year-old man and review the relevant literature.

Introduction: COVID-19 has been associated with increased mortality in old age, hypertension and male gender. Higher prevalence of increased body mass index (BMI), mechanical ventilation and renal failure has been found in the patients admitted to our New York City community hospital; accordingly we aim to explore the association between these parameters and survival in our patients. Methods: Retrospective review of patients admitted with the COVID-19 disease March 14 to April 30 of 2020. Analysis using Cox regression models, Log rank tests and Kaplan Meier curves was done for a total of 326 patients that met our criteria. Results: The adjusted odds of death for those at least 75 years of age were higher than those within the age group of 18 to 44 years. The patients with over 92% oxygen saturation had lower adjusted odds of death than those with 88 to 92% oxygen saturation (Odds Ratio (OR)=0.2, 95% CI=0.06, 0.70), as well as lower adjusted hazard of dying (Hazard Ratio (HR)=0.4, 95% CI=0.21, 0.87). Intubation was associated with a higher adjusted odds ratio (OR=57.8, 95% CI=17.74, 188.30) and adjusted hazard ratio HR=5.4 (95% CI=2.59, 11.21) for death. After controlling for age and gender, neither levels of serum D-dimer nor creatinine were found to be significantly associated with mortality The factors that comprise metabolic syndrome, i.e., elevated BMI, diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia, were found to have no significant association with the outcome of death after controlling for age and sex and they also had no significant association with the time until death. Conclusions: In the study population, COVID-19 was associated with increased mortality in patients who required intubation, and in the elderly, which may be explained by changes in the immune system over time. Elevated BMI, though not statistically significant, was present in the majority of our study population, which may have contributed to the group's high mortality.
Prophylactic effect of ethyl pyruvate on renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats
Authors: Yau Roger , Bloom Jonathan , Wagmaister Jonathan , Eshghi Majid , Choudhury Muhammad , Konno Sensuke
Published: December 2021

Background: Following our hypothesis that oxidative stress might play a primary role in renal ischemia/reperfusion injury (RIRI), we investigated if ethyl pyruvate (EPy) with potent antioxidant activity might prevent or alleviate RIRI induced in rats. Methods: Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: (A) Sham, (B) renal ischemia/reperfusion (RIR), (C) RIR with EPy supplement (RIR+EPy), and (D) RIR with Mann supplement (RIR+Mann). Mannitol (Mann), a preoperative agent being clinically used, was tested for comparison with EPy. Rats were subjected to 40-min ischemia, followed by 24-h reperfusion. Either EPy or Mann was given to rats 30 min prior to ischemia and immediately before the reperfusion period. Results: The RIR and RIR+Mann groups showed palpable kidney injuries with the ~5-fold elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) levels, indicating renal dysfunction. However, the kidneys in the RIR+EPy group appeared merely normal (similar to the Sham’s) with the basal BUN/Cr levels, indicating normal renal function. No effects on histology, BUN or Cr were yet seen with Mann. Moreover, specific kidney injury markers were up-regulated and oxidative stress was also ~2.1-fold severer in the RIR group, whereas little changes in those markers and oxidative stress were seen with EPy supplement (RIR+EPy). Conclusions: Although oxidative stress feasibly plays a key role in RIRI, EPy with antioxidant activity is capable of protecting the kidneys from such an assault. Thus, EPy (not Mann) should be considered as an effective perioperative renoprotective agent that could be used clinically.
La negra Angustias de Francisco Rojas: una novela revolucionaria de la Revolución mexicana
Authors: Murillo Tenorio Ilse Mayté
Published: December 2021

Objetivo: el presente trabajo tiene por objetivo abordar la novela del escritor mexicano Francisco Rojas González, La negra Angustias (1944), para ubicar y destacar las colindancias que hay entre la narrativa histórica y la literaria en el marco de la Revolución mexicana. Metodología: se parte de la discusión sobre el género de la novela de la Revolución mexicana, al mismo tiempo que sobre sus atribuciones como novela histórica. Asimismo, se plantean algunos puntos de convergencia entre la historia y la literatura a partir de ciertos elementos narrativos, en donde el diálogo interdisciplinario es indiscutible. Originalidad: la novela de Rojas aporta una visión de la Revolución mexicana diferente a la historiografía, pues hace énfasis en la participación femenina dentro de las tropas del movimiento armado. Conclusiones: se sostiene que esta novela, a través de ciertos recursos narrativos, además de una propuesta atípica estructural literaria, irrumpe en la historiografía de la revolución, sobre todo porque visibiliza la participación de las mujeres en el contexto bélico, al dar cuenta de que una mujer se une a la lucha revolucionaria por disposición propia.
Los mártires y las sirenas: el régimen moral sacrificial en la obra de José Joaquín Ortiz (1814-1892)
Authors: Quintero Mächler Alejandro
Published: December 2021

Objetivo: el objetivo del artículo es explorar la noción de régimen moral sacrificial en la obra del colombiano José Joaquín Ortiz (1814-1892), poeta, educador y apologeta del catolicismo, en particular en su ensayo polémico Las Sirenas (1868), dirigido contra el utilitarismo y su presunto régimen moral. Metodología: se realiza un análisis del campo intelectual en que se insertaba Ortiz, una contextualización histórica de sus obras dentro de una discusión más amplia y una lectura minuciosa de Las Sirenas y otros textos afines: artículos de prensa, folletos y ensayos. Originalidad: aparte de rescatar la poco trabajada figura de Ortiz, cuyos textos tuvieron un gran impacto en la esfera pública, el artículo indaga en la noción crucial de sacrificio voluntario, muy debatida en la época menos explorada por la historiografía. El artículo asimismo elabora el concepto, muy útil para aproximarse a las polémicas decimonónicas sobre el utilitarismo, de régimen moral sacrificial y la jerarquización social que comportaba. Conclusiones: la noción de sacrificio voluntario desempeñó un papel insoslayable en los modos en que, desde los bandos católicos y conservadores, se deseaba contrarrestar el influjo moral del utilitarismo, descrito como una irrupción intempestiva del paganismo, y, en su lugar, consolidar una ciudadanía, una república y una nación católicas. Además de responder a razones coyunturales tales como el paradigma martirológico del arzobispo Manuel José Mosquera, el régimen moral sacrificial se consolidaría introduciendo una estética cristiana a partir de la enseñanza primaria, con lo que se disciplinarían los hábitos y las emociones de la futura ciudadanía.
El gran capitán caído. Mito, historia e ideología en un relato de Bartolomé Mitre
Authors: Fonsalido María Elena
Published: December 2021

Objetivo: el objetivo del artículo es revisar la construcción del relato histórico de Bartolomé Mitre, la injerencia de la ficción en este armado y la postura respecto de la figura del subalterno dentro de la jerarquía militar que este armado supone. Metodología: la batalla de San Lorenzo (1813) se constituye en uno de los íconos de la cultura argentina, ya que es la única librada en suelo patrio por el regimiento de Granaderos a Caballo, dirigido por el coronel San Martín. El trabajo se realiza a partir de un aparato teórico de tres pilares (Benjamin, Auerbach y Ginzburg) que sirve para analizar un detalle en la narración que Mitre realiza de esta batalla: el momento en el que San Martín habría caído del caballo y habría sido auxiliado por el soldado Juan Bautista Cabral, quien perdió su vida en este acto. Originalidad: Bartolomé Mitre es considerado el fundador de la historiografía argentina por su rigurosidad, su erudición y su apego al documento. En este caso, se cotejan las fuentes que tuvo en cuenta para organizar el relato de la batalla en cuestión. La originalidad consiste en que se presentan las fuentes literarias utilizadas para narrar el episodio, que remiten a un hecho similar protagonizado por el legendario Gonzalo de Córdoba, llamado el Gran Capitán (como luego sería llamado San Martín) durante la toma de Granada por los Reyes Católicos en el siglo xv. Conclusiones: se concluye que Mitre, a pesar de sus afirmaciones respecto de su apego a fuentes documentales orales y escritas, recurre a fuentes ficcionales a la hora de escribir un episodio de la Historia de San Martín y la emancipación sudamericana.

The Pandemic Social Services Market: New Practices and Technologies
Authors: Sitnikova Yana , Nikolenko Nataliya
Published: December 2021

This article analyzes the processes of development of the social service market, which is part of the social protection system. Through a comparative analysis of the Soviet and Russian models of social services, the authors conclude that the modern system, while partially retaining some characteristics of the Soviet system, is transforming and acquiring new specific features. Based on the generalization of the results of the authors' comprehensive sociological research using quantitative and qualitative methods (questionnaire survey, in-depth interviews, content analysis), the innovative practices of working with consumers (recipients) of social services, which social efficiency in the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic was noted by respondents, used by NCOs operating in the social services market. Despite the complexity of objective circumstances faced by organizations, regional NCOs still managed to maintain the quality of social services provided in both online and offline formats at a level that meets the needs of recipients. The prospects for the development of SO NPOs are connected not only with the creation and implementation of innovative technologies and practices, but also depend on strengthening the personnel composition of employees through the development and subsequent implementation of proposals for protecting their health and improving professional competencies by creating conditions for training, advanced training and mastering new specialties. The article notes the important role of regional media in covering the activities of NGOs in the difficult period of the spread of coronavirus infection and the establishment of a forced regime of social isolation. An analysis of video materials broadcast on official channels of Volgograd television is given, which contributed to strengthening the status of NGOs as competitive providers of quality social services. It is predicted that the experience gained during the "pandemic" period will be used by NGOs in their day-to-day activities in the future.

ROUSSEAU E A GRANDE PARTILHA OCIDENTAL: A IDEIA DA EXCLUSIVIDADE DA NATUREZA HUMANA*
Authors: Arco Júnior Mauro Dela Bandera
Published: December 2021

RESUMO Na flosofa de Rousseau expõe-se a paulatina construção de uma ideia ocidental de humanidade: a história de como o ser humano assim denominou-se ser, bem como a história do abuso dessa denominação. Trata-se, sobretudo, da crítica sobre a construção de um mito da dignidade exclusiva da natureza humana, tema que percorre as obras de diferentes flósofos, dos modernos aos contemporâneos, dos ocidentais aos não ocidentais. O presente artigo aborda, a partir de Rousseau e em diálogo com outros autores, o “ciclo maldito” característico da modernidade, uma ideia que separa os humanos dos animais e segrega os humanos entre si. Começa-se por apartar o ser humano da natureza e constituí-lo como um ser à parte em um processo de monopolização progressiva do valor da existência: aparece em um primeiro momento o especismo, subsequentemente a desigualdade sociopolítica, o etnocentrismo e outras formas derivadas de exclusão.
A IMAGEM DO “JARDIM DE ADÔNIS” E A REFLEXÃO SOBRE A ESCRITA COMO PARADIGMA PARA DETERMINAÇÃO DO LÓGOS NO FEDRO DE PLATÃO (276B1-277B3)*
Authors: Fortes Fábio
Published: December 2021

RESUMO O trecho entre 276b1 e 277b3 do diálogo Fedro tem sido usado como indício de uma dicotomia entre oralidade e escrita, que seria, por sua vez, signo de uma inconciliável relação entre a dialética e a escrita. Ambas são associadas, respectivamente, a uma atividade séria (spoudé) e a uma brincadeira ou jogo (paidiá). Em nossa leitura, pretendemos mostrar não ser possível subscrever tal associação, tendo em vista que, por um lado, a passagem deve ser lida como uma espécie de síntese de uma reflexão mais abrangente (a determinação do lógos filosófico, i.e., a dialética) e, por outro, que nela se entreveem camadas de significação produzidas pelo diálogo intertextual (o debate sobre a escrita encetado entre Alcidamante e Isócrates). Nesse sentido, propomos uma interpretação que leva em conta uma análise imanente da passagem, mostrando que ela carece dos significantes para uma dicotomia oralidade vs. escrita, seguida de uma reflexão que a repõe no enquadre do diálogo, ao analisarmos os sentidos filosóficos da imagem do “Jardim de Adônis” e da oposição entre paidiá e spoudé
HANNAH ARENDT EM DIÁLOGO COM A FENOMENOLOGIA: SARTRE, MERLEAU-PONTY E A TRAMA ENTRE LIBERDADE E TEMPORALIDADE*
Authors: Moura Alex de Campos
Published: December 2021

RESUMO Neste ensaio, discutiremos o modo como a relação entre liberdade e temporalidade aparece em momentos determinados da reflexão de Hannah Arendt, Sartre e Merleau-Ponty, tomando como eixo de investigação a maneira pela qual cada um deles concebe a articulação entre permanência e mudança na descrição da dinâmica temporal. Com isso, pretende-se estabelecer um horizonte de convergência e, em seu interior, explicitar dois encaminhamentos distintos para uma questão similar, mostrando como é possível estabelecer um eixo fenomenológico comum e, ao mesmo tempo, explicitar a diversidade que o constitui.
AUTONOMIA DO SIMBOLISMO INCONSCIENTE E EXPRESSIVIDADE NOS SONHOS SEGUNDO MERLEAU-PONTY
Authors: Müller Marcos José
Published: December 2021

RESUMO Trata o presente artigo de um estudo sobre o modo como Merleau-Ponty busca extrair, da teoria freudiana dos sonhos, consequências ontológicas concernentes à vinculação expressiva entre as diferentes dimensões da experiência onírica, especificamente sobre o papel dos restos diurnos na descarga da libido, na realização do simbolismo ou, o que é a mesma coisa, na conversão do simbolismo em algo narrativo e sensível, especificamente afetivo. Conforme se mostrará, para Merleau-Ponty, seja no sonho sonhado seja no sonho relatado podemos verificar, entre a dimensão imaginária (afetiva e narrativa) introduzida pelos restos diurnos, por um lado, e a dimensão simbólica (ou inconsciente) expressa como significante esquecido, por outro; uma sorte de unidade sem coincidência, uma indivisão meramente expressiva. A pergunta deste artigo é ‒ do ponto de vista ontológico ‒ de que modo a indivisão expressiva entre o sonhado e o relatado dispensa o recurso à ideia de uma interioridade transparente?
CÍRCULO VICIOSO Y REVOLUCIÓN CRÍTICA EN LA TEORÍA DE LOS PROBLEMAS DE GILLES DELEUZE: EL ROL DEL ÁLGEBRA EN DIFERENCIA Y REPETICIÓN*
Authors: Santaya Gonzalo
Published: December 2021

RESUMEN Este artículo busca contribuir a la elucidación del concepto de “problema” elaborado por Gilles Deleuze en Diferencia y repetición, analizando la presencia en dicho concepto del algebrista noruego Niels Henrik Abel. Deleuze atribuye a este matemático el haber creado un método que rompe con el “círculo vicioso” que consiste en calcar los problemas a imagen y semejanza de sus soluciones. Argumentaremos que esta interpretación de Deleuze se apoya en la obra de Jules Vuillemin La philosophie de l’algèbre, donde se traza un paralelo entre el álgebra de Lagrange y la filosofía trascendental de Fichte para mostrar ese vicio común a sus métodos. Comenzaremos por reconstruir el mencionado “círculo vicioso”, para luego recorrer las características generales del problema algebraico y sus paralelismos con la filosofía crítica, señalando finalmente los puntos principales que Deleuze busca rescatar del método abeliano –presentado por Vuillemin como la superación de Lagrange (y, por extensión, de Fichte).
SABERES E IDENTIDADE DOCENTE: UMA ANÁLISE EM UM CURSO DE LICENCIATURA EM CIÊNCIAS BIOLÓGICAS
Authors: SILVA MARCOS VINICIUS MARQUES DA , SOARES KARLA JEANE COQUEIRO BEZERRA , VALLE MARIANA GUELERO DO
Published: December 2021

RESUMO: O presente artigo teve por objetivo analisar a mobilização de saberes docentes e o processo de construção da identidade docente de alunos de um curso de Licenciatura em Ciências Biológicas. Para tanto, foram realizadas entrevistas semiestruturadas com seis licenciandos em fase de conclusão do referido curso. As entrevistas foram gravadas em áudio e posteriormente transcritas e analisadas por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, utilizando-se o método hermenêutico-dialético. Por meio desta análise emergiram duas categorias, a citar: Espaços de (re)construção e mobilização de saberes e Sentir-se professor: identidades profissionais em construção. Os resultados demonstraram a construção e mobilização de uma série de saberes inerentes à profissão docente que, por sua vez, carregam traços da identidade docente dos licenciandos. Ademais, revelaram que esta identidade é mutável, construída de forma coletiva, depende do reconhecimento de outros atores sociais envolvidos neste processo para que seja assumida e está pautada principalmente em dois saberes: os disciplinares e os experienciais.
A DEFINIÇÃO DE EVASÃO E SUAS IMPLICAÇÕES (LIMITES) PARA AS POLÍTICAS DE EDUCAÇÃO SUPERIOR
Authors: SILVA LEONARDO BARBOSA E , MARIANO ALEXSANDRO SOUZA
Published: December 2021

RESUMO: As políticas públicas partem de diagnósticos da realidade que, com alguma frequência, utilizam indicadores sociais e registros administrativos. Os sucessos da ação pública e das ferramentas de diagnose dependem, dentre outras coisas, de uma definição adequada do fenômeno a ser enfrentado. Este artigo objetiva problematizar a definição de evasão na educação superior vigente e oficial utilizada pelo INEP/MEC, a partir de seu documento orientador “Metodologia de Cálculo dos Indicadores de Fluxo da Educação Superior”, de 2017, e apontar seus limites e implicações. Para lograr êxito, foi mobilizada uma pesquisa documental bifurcada em métodos de análise documental para textos governamentais e de análise de dados para o Censo da Educação Superior. Para a apresentação das reflexões, optou-se, inicialmente, por apontar a importância que a evasão tem em várias políticas públicas para a educação superior. Posteriormente, tem-se a análise propriamente do objeto deste artigo. Os resultados alcançados sinalizam para a presença de limites na capacidade de expressar o fenômeno e, por conseguinte, instrumentalizar as políticas públicas adequadas ao problema público, sobretudo porque a definição vigente não se ocupa das motivações, ignora os reingressos ao considerar o abandono como ato sempre terminativo, não se compromete com uma análise longitudinal e não dialoga adequadamente com as finalidades da educação superior estabelecidas pela Lei de Diretrizes e Bases.

Published: December 2021

Resumo As mudanças climáticas no século XXI é uma realidade inconteste. Diversos efeitos e impactos vêm sendo registrados em várias regiões do planeta. Este trabalho tem por objetivo avaliar a associação do modelo hidrológico MHD-INPE ao modelo atmosférico Eta/CPTEC, a fim de simular o impacto de mudanças climáticas na Bacia Hidrográfica do Ribeirão Jaguara, localizada no sul do estado de Minas Gerais. Para tal fim, foram utilizados dois cenários (RCP4.5 e RCP8.5) de três modelos globais (HadGEM2-ES, MIROC5 e CanESM2), regionalizados pelo modelo Eta. Os resultados da calibração e validação mostraram uma boa performance MHD-INPE em simular a vazão da BHRJ. Após a correção de viés, as saídas dos cenários foram usadas como entrada no MHD-INPE. As projeções climáticas corrigidas dos cenários resultaram em predominante redução da precipitação ao longo do século. Os resultados das projeções da temperatura mostraram aumento consensual por parte dos modelos climáticos, em ambos os cenários. As estatísticas da curva de permanência das vazões advindas das simulações climáticas mostraram um bom desempenho do MHD-INPE na simulação do clima presente.

Published: December 2021

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of the use of glass ionomer cement (GIC) and flowable bulk-fill resin composite (BFRC) for filling pulp chambers and the type of high-speed handpiece light used on dentin removal during access preparation for endodontic retreatment in molar teeth. Twenty maxillary molars were treated endodontically. BFRC (Opus Bulk Fill Flow APS, FGM) was used to fill the pulp chamber and replace coronal dentin (n = 10). In the remaining teeth, the pulp chamber was filled with GIC (Maxion R, FGM). Conventional resin composite (Opallis, FGM) was used to restore the enamel layer in all teeth. The samples in each group were divided into two subgroups, and the root canals were reaccessed using a handpiece with white or ultraviolet light. The teeth were scanned using micro-CT before and after root canal reaccess. The dentin volume removed was calculated and analyzed using 2-way analysis of variance and Tukey’s test (α = 0.05). The crown and pulp chamber locations with dentin removal are described using frequency distribution. During the access, fewer pulp chamber walls were affected and a lower volume of dentin was removed from the pulpal floor in the group restored with GIC than in the group restored with BFRC. No effect was observed on the coronal dentin walls with respect to the filling protocols and type of light used. For dentin removal from the pulp chamber, handpieces with white light performed better than those with ultraviolet light, irrespective of the filling protocol used. The use of GIC to fill the pulp chamber and use of white handpiece light reduced dentin removal from the pulpal floor and resulted in fewer affected dentin walls.

Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different instruments and mechanisms of agitation of the irrigating solution on the penetration by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), and the bond strength (BS) of the filling material to the dentin by push-out test. Human premolars were distributed in two experimental groups (n=30), according to the instrumentation system: ProTaper Next (PN) or XP-endo Shaper (XS) and three irrigation protocol (n=10): NaviTip (Nv), XP-endo Finisher (XF), passive ultrasonic irrigation/ XP-endo Finisher (PUIXF). The 2.5% NaOCl and 17% EDTA were the irrigating solutions used. The filling was performed using a lateral condensation technique, with AH Plus added to 0.1% rodhamine B. The roots were sectioned, obtaining 2 slices for each third of the root. The first slice was submitted to the sealer penetration analysis and the push-out test. The second slice was submitted to qualitative analysis (SEM) of the union interface. For the penetration (%) Tukey showed that PNXF (82.38±13.48), PNPUIXF (82.48± 12.02), XSXF (82.24±11.28) and XSPUIXP (86.23±10.45) presented the highest values, different (p<0.05) from PNNv (68.29±15.12) and XSNv (71.41±16.50). The BS (MPa) test evidenced that in the cervical third, PNPF (4.92±1.04) and XPSPF (5.03±0.70) obtained the highest values differing from the others groups (p<0.05). CSLM and SEM showed greater penetration of the sealer on the entire length of the root canal when the irrigation solution was stirred. In conclusion that the association PUI and XP-endo Finisher favored the penetration and bond strength of the filling material to the root dentin.

As vulnerabilidades das altas habilidades e superdotação: questões sociocognitivas e afetivas
Authors: Virgolim Angela
Published: December 2021

RESUMO Tratar do tema das altas habilidades e superdotação envolve um olhar complexo e sistêmico, dada a característica de heterogeneidade deste grupo. Crianças e jovens com altas habilidades e superdotação podem ter necessidades educacionais e afetivas diferenciadas, resultantes de sua complexidade cognitiva, maior intensidade de resposta, sensibilidade emocional, imaginação vívida, combinações de interesses únicos, características de personalidade e conflitos que destoam dos seus companheiros de idade. Em resposta a esta complexidade, pessoas com altas habilidades podem exibir comportamentos sociais desajustados, hostilidade, agressão, baixo autoconceito, insegurança, frustração, raiva e sentimentos de inadequação. Quando não reconhecidas e trabalhadas, tais características podem colocar o indivíduo em posição de vulnerabilidade e risco socioemocional. Torna-se importante um maior entendimento do mundo cognitivo, emocional, afetivo e social da pessoa superdotada, de forma a diminuir as vulnerabilidades deste grupo, trazendo consciência sobre a sua forma específica de agir no mundo. O esclarecimento das características afetivas diferenciadas destes alunos e de suas necessidades específicas pode ajudar pais e professores a delinear um ambiente mais adequado ao seu desenvolvimento.

Published: December 2021

Resumo Crescimento pós-traumático (CPT) refere-se à mudança positiva em algum aspecto da experiência humana como resultado do enfrentamento de adversidades. Investigou-se a relação entre CPT, estilos de enfrentamento e centralidade de evento. Participaram do estudo 65 mulheres que concluíram os tratamentos recomendados para o câncer de mama. Tratou-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa cujos instrumentos foram respondidos on-line. Identificou-se correlações altas entre CPT e centralidade de evento e moderadas entre CPT e os estilos de enfrentamento: estratégia focada no problema, busca de suporte social e práticas religiosas. A centralidade de evento e as estratégias focadas no problema mostraram-se melhores preditoras de CPT. Os resultados sugerem que quanto maior a adversidade percebida, maior a possibilidade de crescimento, sendo as estratégias de enfrentamento focadas no problema um componente importante para a sua ocorrência. Este estudo apontou a possibilidade de crescimento pessoal relacionado ao enfrentamento do CA de mama e indicou estratégias relevantes para desenvolvê-lo.

Published: December 2021

Abstract Therapeutic Assessment is a model of psychological evaluation that adopts a collaborative approach and a semi-structured systematization to the extent that it has well-defined steps. Considering its intervention nature, Therapeutic Assessment seeks to bring about positive changes in the lives of clients and/or people close to them. The present study aimed to evaluate how the Therapeutic Assessment process presented therapeutic consequences, using the case study as a research method. The description of the results was based on the assistance of a client using the Therapeutic Assessment model. The findings corroborate the hypotheses related to the therapeutic benefits of the Therapeutic Assessment, providing the clients with increased self-knowledge and self-reflection and changes in the way they deal with difficult situations. We conclude that more research on Therapeutic Assessment should be developed to verify other possible benefits of the model.
Relationship Between Facebook Problematic use and Pathological Personality Traits: a Systematic Review

Published: December 2021

Abstract We aimed to investigate relationships between Facebook problematic use (Facebook PU) and pathological traits of personality, by a systematic review. The literature search was proceeded based on a search strategy including the keywords “Facebook”, “problematic use” and “personality”. We found a total of 236 publications and selected 21 papers for full verification. All of them were excluded, characterizing an empty review. As an attempt to increase the probability of finding eligible publications, first, we have broadened the search of the systematic review from “Facebook” to “social network sites” (and variations); and then from “social network sites” to “internet”. Regarding this last change, the final set of publications after full reading based on the eligibility criteria was composed by 15 papers. We emphasize that there was no empirical evidence on the relationship between Facebook PU and pathological traits of personality. Given the proximity between Facebook PU and internet addiction, it is possible to hypothesize that there is a relationship between pathological traits (i.e., Neuroticism, Impulsivity, and Psychoticism) and Facebook PU.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate new evidence of internal and external validity of the Conflict Resolution Behavior Questionnaire (CRBQ) for the context of the state of Paraíba, Brazil. A total of 252 people participated this study, being in a marital relationship, with an average age of 38.3 years (SD = 10.87), the majority of whom were married (70%) and female (57.1%). An Exploratory Factorial Analysis of the CRBQ pointed an adequate structure with three factors (agreement, avoidance, and attack), with alphas ranging from 0.75 to 0.77, which were related to personality traits. In this direction, the results are discussed, in the light of the specialized literature, and it is concluded that the psychometric adequacy of the CRBQ expands the evidence of validity and can be used in future studies in the Brazilian context by researchers and those interested in the subject.

Published: December 2021

Abstract This study aimed to adapt and validate the Irrational Procrastination Scale (IPS) and Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS) for Brazilian Portuguese. Therefore, 2666 university students were invited to participate in the study (M = 26.08; SD = 6.6; 77% female). The factorial structures were analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The validity was investigated through Pearson’s correlations between the subscales of the Academic Procrastination Questionnaire ─ Negative Consequences and DASS-21. The reliability of the scales and their factors were evaluated through Cronbach’s alpha. The results indicated a one-dimensional IPS structure and a three-factor solution with a higher-order factor for PPS. Significant correlations were found between the IPS and PPS with the other measurements, revealing concurrent and convergent validity for both scales. The instruments showed good internal consistency, with alphas ranging from 0.80 to 0.91.

Abstract A previous study presented the Emotional Competence Inventory, which was designed with basis on the emotional intelligence theory. It was very long and had a disproportionate number of items for each factor. Therefore, this study aimed to seek for validity evidence based on its internal structure and carry out an analysis of items of the short version of the instrument supported by the Item Response Theory (IRT). The study included 626 Brazilian participants with a mean age of 24.8 years (SD = 8.2). They were predominantly females (68.5%) who answered to the 34 items in the instrument. A confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit indices, thus confirming the original structure of the instrument. IRT analyses also resulted in good fit indices and revealed the aspects involved in the increased difficulty of the items in each scale. It was concluded that the instrument shows good psychometric properties and can be recommended for research purposes.

Authors: Medeiros Humberto Claudio Passeri , Soares Adriana Benevides , Monteiro Marcia Cristina
Published: December 2021

Abstract The aim of this study was to verify whether the School Performance variable can be explained by the Adolescent Social Skills (ASS), Motivation to Learn and Perception of Social Support constructs in groups of students that were with and without an age/grade discrepancy in Elementary School and in Acceleration classes. This study also aimed to compare the constructs in the groups. Participants were 500 students from public schools, aged 15 to 18 years, divided into two groups according to the school progression. The Social Skills Inventory for Adolescents, the Learning Motivation in Elementary Education Scale, the Social Support Appraisals Scale and the Class Council Maps of the participating institutions were used. For the data analysis, Multiple Linear Regression was performed and Student’s t-test. The results showed that Adolescent Social Skills, Motivation to Learn and the Perception of Social Support better explained the school performance of the regular progression students. When comparing the groups, the regular progression students presented higher mean scores in Empathy, Self-Control, Civility, Assertiveness, Social Development and in the overall total of the ASS scale. The same occurred when comparing the means of Perception of Social Support and Motivation to Learn of students with and without age/grade discrepancy. The data obtained can contribute to preventive intervention actions for academic competences and social skills, aiming at improving school performance and maintaining regular progression.
