Politics and Democracy in Nigeria: A Critical Examination and Analysis of the Use and Mis-use of Money in Elections
Authors: Salami Adebayo T
Published: November 2022

How important is money to politics? In other words, what important role does money play in politics? What explains the role of money in politics, and further its importance? How can the importance attached to the role of money in politics be scholarly demonstrated, and by what empirical yardsticks of presentations and analyses? The paper, with special focus on what it calls: “…the use and mis-use of money in politics”, seeks to, within the context of the Nigerian political system, investigate and analyze the role of money in politics. The research methodology combines historical cum analytical mode of data sourcing with evidence-based investigations organized around important thematic and sub-thematic issues and problems in the sub-field of psephology. The methodology, further advanced within the perspective of provocative and inquisitive scholarship, raises fundamental questions that were considered useful for the interrogation of the subject matter and the consequent organization of the accompanying research. For instance, how are money, politics and power related, and within what scholarly template of critical social science inquiry? Which influences the other and to what extent and degree of consequences and relationships? How can the relationships between and among these be measured and by what indices and criteria of strict scientific measurement and evaluation? The answers to the questions provide important findings/information with respect to the future of democracy in Nigeria when approached from the perspective of the cost of elections which tend to favour the highest bidders, the “money-bags” as called. The fact that the future of democracy becomes endangered under the circumstance, recommendations are consequently made on how to mitigate the cost of elections and further enhance democratic political practice.

In Search of Enigmatic Individuals: A Psychoanalytic Discussion on Willa Cather's My Mortal Enemy
Authors: Afreen Sumaiya
Published: November 2022

Enigma is a ubiquitous essence in characters of 19th century American literature which commonly refers to the sarcastic or mysterious meaning of human life. America subsequently received great literary works encompassing contemporary provincial life including the haul of capitalism, versatile artistry along with unfolding of bemused human mindset. American stories, prior to the era of modernism were mostly magnified and critiqued with socio-economic perceptions rather than being scrutinized with concentrated psychoanalytic studies. Willa Cather's My Mortal Enemy illustrates bewildered minds of people. Central characters of the story are inflicted with the pursuit of worldly attainments. Extreme divergence amid the characters` desire and reality has left the whole story into paranoia. Myra Henshawe, the protagonist of the novella is a neurotic crippled patient who has deserted her soul`s aesthetic beauty under the grasp of terrestrial obsession and disturbing psychosomatic pattern. Jacques Lacan's three stages of psychic development will be maneuvered in this paper to evince the uncanny of shared life in Cather's story. The novella has a fictional as well as real time setting where people are found to sprint for materialistic self-indulgence. Cather has crafted some rare and intriguing discovery of seeking one`s mortal enemy in such an enigmatic plot which will complement the psychogenic discussion of the paper. This paper emits a critical study on how the characters turn as indecipherable in My Mortal Enemy by spot lighting on Freudian construction of ego, sublimation, desires and Lacanian psychoanalytic models.

Impact of EMI Policy on the Academic Result of Private University Students in Bangladesh
Authors: Chowdhury Alvina Mahzabin
Published: November 2022

This paper is an attempt to scrutinize the impact of EMI policy (English as a Medium of Instruction) on the academic result of the students of a renowned private university in Bangladesh, based on the teachers’ and students' perceptions. After passing twelve years of education in Bengali medium instruction, when the students get themselves admitted into different private universities, they are confronted with EMI policy in their academic contexts. In most of the cases, it has been observed that the MOI (medium of instruction) used in classrooms is purely English. This may raise the affective filter of the freshers, coming from Bengali medium schools and colleges, leading towards gaining poor grades in their academic results. Hence, this research attempts to find out whether there is an association between the poor examination results and EMI policy according to the teachers’ and students’ perspectives. However, the research findings expose that the majority of the students encounter problems to upgrade their academic results because of using EMI strictly both in classrooms and in examinations. In addition, some teachers pointed out, due to EMI policy students face some problems initially, but there is no other way than accepting EMI /English as a medium of instruction to make the students adapted with the globalized world. On the other hand, a great number of the teachers think that a bilingual medium of instruction actually helps the students to study with interest and motivation, and to have a sound grasp over the content.

Knowing Educational Psychology: A Tool to Smoothen the Teaching-Learning Process
Authors: Karim Md Ataul
Published: November 2022

When the idea of an efficient teacher comes in our mind, the first thing that we consider as the prominent issue is whether that person has proper knowledge of the subject that s/he is going to teach. The secondary concern surfaces whether that person is knowledgeable enough to present the subject matter. Now, one question that most of us never think about or simply ignore is: Are all these qualities enough to be a successful teacher? Who is going to answer this question? Who is going to judge whether a teacher is ‘perfect’ or not? Will the judge be another senior teacher or a prominent educationist in that field or the students who always closely observe the activities of the teacher? Some people may raise the objection saying how students can judge the teacher as they are not mature enough for having lack of knowledge and sufficient experiences of life beyond the classroom. To tackle such questions, one great source of help is to know theories and practices of educational psychology in depth as it fundamentally challenges the notion of considering the students as machines that run with different types of programs. It strongly asserts that the students are not machines, they are human beings with frequently changing characteristics, emotions, desires, moods, responses/reactions and so on. So, one of the objectives of this paper is to show how, by understanding the psychology of the students, a teacher can provide them proper guidance. Also, this paper aims at finding out different important issues/concerns by exploring and contextualizing various prominent psychological theories of education to create an overall positive as well as enabling educational environment both for the teacher and the learners. To attain this end, this paper uses insights from educational psychology in particular to keep the frame of discussion focused and manageable.

The Social Image Crisis of Santiago and Captain Ahab: A Psychoanalytic Comparison between The Old Man and the Sea and Moby-Dick
Authors: Binte Zinnah Nikhate Jannat
Published: November 2022

The incredibly patient Santiago, the protagonist of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea and the stubborn and revengeful Captain Ahab in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick present an arresting similarity if their fate and fatal ending are observed. Both the protagonists are driven by their urge to triumph over their situations – Santiago from poverty and social shame, Ahab from obsession with vengeance. Both in the end lose the capacity for reasoning which leads them towards their doom. Their persona – the best fisherman of an area for Santiago and the best whale hunter in a community – gets hurt and drives them towards their demise. They both want to be the conquerors of the sea and finally are conquered by their desires. This research identifies both the characters in social image crisis. Drawing upon the works of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung, the paper first analyses the personality levels and different drives in human beings. Then, how the drives motivate the two characters and their personas will be discussed. Overall, the paper criticizes the choices of the two characters in the light of psychoanalysis.

Walking as Space Making by Humayun Ahmed’s Himu
Authors: Mondol Md Shamim , Islam Md Samiul
Published: November 2022

A city space beyond its structural execution by the planners and administrators is consistently acted out by those who perform daily practices in those spaces. A walker as a regular practitioner appropriates the space, invents and inscribes stories there causing transgression in the imposition by the dominant structures and cultures. Humayun Ahmed, a well-known writer in Bangladeshi literature, has created the popular juvenile fictional character Himu, as a walker in the streets of Dhaka with no confinement encountering others and rewriting stories and histories unacknowledged in dominant discourses. This paper studies Himu, the quintessential walker, as a space-producing agency that problematizes many of the taken-for-granted practices in the streets. He routes through the streets of Dhaka and orchestrates before us multiple stories. With insights from de Certeau’s “Walking in the City” from The Practice of Everyday Life, this paper focuses on walker Himu and shows his space-creating activities as digressive as well as transgressive in creative ways to dismantle the dominant culture which are commonly acted out by the common practitioner in the streets.

Authors: Shanas S. , Anju Krishnan G. , Mashhoor K.
Published: November 2022

A new species of cavity nesting honey bees, Apis karinjodian n. sp., endemic to the Western Ghats biodiversity hotspot is described and illustrated. Apis indica Fabricius, 1798 status restored is resurrected from synonymy with Apis cerana Fabricius, 1793. Key to distinguish the three native cavity nesting honey bee species occurring in the Indian subcontinent viz., Apis cerana Fabricius, 1793, Apis indica Fabricius, 1798 and Apis karinjodian n. sp. is provided. Distribution map is given for the native cavity nesting Apis species of the Indian subcontinent. The morphological description of the new species is supplemented with molecular and behavioral information. Radio-Medial Index (RMI), a new measure for species discrimination in Apis, is proposed. South India is proposed as the center of origin of the European honeybee, Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758.
Do aphids maintain differential densities on plant parts? A case study with Aphis craccivora Koch (Hemiptera: Aphididae)
Authors: Srikanth J.
Published: November 2022

Differential aggregation of aphids on host plant parts may indicate site-specific optimal densities for efficient utilization of plant parts, besides the usual inference of preferential colonization. Differential densities of aphids within the plant  were studied using the legume aphid Aphis craccivora Koch in cowpea Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp. ssp. unguiculata. In field-collected infested sample stems and pods (n=60), colonies were demarcated, aphid colony size, length and circumference measured, and colony area and density calculated. The results indicated that colony dimensions and colony size were significantly higher in pod than in stem whereas colony density did not differ significantly between the two plant parts. Colony density was significantly higher in leaflets of top most leaf than in leaflets of top 2nd or 3rd leaf. Overall, the four plant parts could be graded in the descending order as stem>pod>leaflets of top most leaf> leaflets of top 2nd or 3rd leaf for colony density. Significant positive curvilinear and linear relationship between colony size and colony density in both stem and pod indicated that A. craccivora showed a propensity to spread out colonies at low populations but tended to compact them with a rise in population levels. Identical colony density in stem and pod suggested that the aphid may not require differential densities to overcome host defenses or utilize food from these two plant parts. In top most leaf and top 2nd or 3rd leaf, finite leaflet size apparently limits proliferation of the aphid. Higher density on top immature leaves could be more an outcome of nutritional suitability than the need to overcome host defenses. Variable colony densities on the four parts of V. unguiculata indicated differential optimal densities.
Metabolites in galls induced on the leaves of Trewian udiflora (L.) (Euphorbiaceae) by Trioza fletcheri Crawford (Hemiptera: Triozidae)
Authors: Datta Om , Tomar Sunil
Published: November 2022

Trioza fletcheri Crawford is a sap-sucking psyllid that induces galls on Trewia nudiflora leaves. Early stages of T. fletcheri feed on parenchyma, whereas late-stages and adults feed on phloem, causing galls which arise in an isolated, agglomerated mass and rosette form only on the abaxial surface of T. nudiflora leaves. The feeding action of immature stages induces changes in metabolites of host tissue and creates a nutrition sink for feeding. The biochemical study revealed that galled tissues had higher levels of metabolites (total soluble sugars, reducing sugars, total protein and free amino acids) than ungalled tissues, with average values measuring 3.4±0.09, 1.4±0.1, 0.63±0.03, 1.9±0.23, 3.0±0.72mg/gdw in ungalled leaves; 4.3±0.02, 2.9±0.3, 1.9±0.47, 3.7±0.36, 4.7±0.53 mg/g dw in young galls; 3.8±0.50, 3.7±0.3, 1.03±0.04, 2.9±0.35, 5.4±0.31 mg/g dw in mature galls; and 2.7±0.23, 2.4±0.3, 0.83±0.03, 2.6±0.34 and, 4.3±0.22mg/g dw in old galls, respectively. Enhanced activities of IAA-oxidase, á-amylase, peroxidase, and invertase were observed in galled infested leaves than in ungalled leaves, and their values were measured to be 2.45±0.53, 2.4±0.3, 0.9±0.2, and 3.7±0.5 in ungalled leaves, 2.92±0.32, 3.2±0.2, 1.9±0.5 and 4.5±0.3in young galls, 3.7±0.43, 3.6±0.4, 1.4±0.4, 4.3±0.2 in mature galls, and 2.51±0.03, 2.9±0.4, 1.4±0.4, 3.8±0.1 in old galls respectively.
Intraguild predation of inferior larval instars of two ladybirds Menochilus sexmaculatus (Fabricius) and Propylea dissecta (Mulsant) (Coleoptera:Coccinellidae)
Authors: Pervez Ahmad , Kumar Rajesh
Published: November 2022

Ladybird beetles are predatory insects, which consumes everal insect pests and have immense biocontrol potential, particularly against aphids. In prey scarcity, they resort to intraguild predation (IGP) by consuming immature stages of other heterospecific ladybirds. A laboratory experiment was performed to quantify the incidence of IGP of first and second larval instars by older instars and adults of two co-occurring ladybird species, Propylea dissecta and Menochilus sexmaculatus. IGP of first and second larval instars increased significantly with increase in the larval stages followed by adult males and females. Predatory stages of M. sexmaculatus were more potential intraguild predators than those of P. dissecta. Among adults, the female consumed a greater number ofearly and weaker heterospecific instars. The presence of dorsal spines and hair on the larva of  M. sexmaculatusprovided aposematism that helps in defense against superior heterospecific larvae thereby enabling its successful establishment and distribution. M. sexmaculatus could act as an intraguild predator in the fields and may contribute in declining the population density of P. dissecta during aphid-prey scarcity.
Morphological investigations on the wing scales of four species of common Indian butterflies
Authors: Sijina K.P. , Evans D.A.
Published: November 2022

Wing scales of butterflies exhibit extreme diversity in shape, size, colour, and number of spines. They are sub microscopic with a length of 300 to 600µm and a breadth of 150 to 400µm. A typical scale possessed a flat body with basal pedicel and apical crown which is provided with a varying number of pointed edges called spines. Investigations were carried outon the morphology of wing scales in four species of common butterflies viz., Pachilopta hector (Linnaeus 1758), Troides minos (Cramer 1779), Jamides celeno (Cramer1775) and  Eurema andersonii (Linnaeus 1758). Wings of  P. hector possessed nine types of scales, the crown of all are with pointed spines of varying numbers, ranging from one to five. The southern birdwing T. minos, possessed nine types of scales. A major portion of wings with black colour is due to black coloured scales but white bands of the forewings are due to transparent and colourless scales. The prominent yellow colour on the hind wings of this butterfly is due to the presence of a single type of scale with a round crown that is devoid of spines and is fully packed with yellow pigment. Jamides celeno possessed twenty different types of scales, most of them are devoid of spines and the ridges within the scales are not clear. Scales on the upper surface of the wing with ashy blue colour and scales of white bands on the lower surface of the wings are identical and are transparent and colourless. The common grass yellow E. andersonii possessed twentyfive different types of scales, of which thirteen are on the black margins of wings and twelve are in the yellow portions of wings. Almost half of the total number of scales in the yellow portions of the wing is transparent and colourless and in coloured scales distribution of pigment is not uniform.This is the first report on the different types of wings scales in the selected butterflies.

O consumo de tabaco sem fumaça (TSF) causa diversos prejuízos a saúde, principalmente em cavidade oral, sendo um fator predisponente ao câncer e resultando em muitas lesões, isso torna necessário saber identificar quais são as principais lesões em tecidos moles causadas pelo TSF. O objetivo desse estudo é analisar as principais lesões em tecidos moles orais associados pelo consumo do TSF. A pesquisa foi feita a partir de uma revisão integrativa de literatura, o levantamento bibliográfico foi feito com auxílio dos Descritores de Ciências da Saúde (DeCS):  Tabaco sem fumaça, Tabaco, Doenças da boca e Mucosa Oral. As seguintes bases de dados foram utilizadas: SciELO, LILACS, BVS e PubMed. Como critério de inclusão, apenas estudos completos, em português e inglês, gratuitos e dentro do recorte temporal de 2015 a 2022. Os critérios de exclusão foram estudos repetidos, resumos simples ou expandidos, artigos de opinião ou resenhas, e por fim, estudos que não estavam dentro da temática e objetivo dessa pesquisa. A pesquisa resultou em 27 artigos analisados, dentre esses, 6 artigos foram selecionados para compor esse estudo. Como resultado, evidenciou-se que a irritação e contato direto por longos períodos dos tecidos moles orais com o tabaco, gera inflamações e estresses epiteliais, o que o torna um fator predisponente a várias lesões orais. Conclui-se que, as principais lesões em tecidos moles associadas ao consumo de TSF são, comumente, lesões brancas como, por exemplo, Candidíase oral, Ceratose do TSF, Leucoplasia, Melanose do tabagista e Eritroleucoplasia.

Dependendo da intensidade e da duração, é fundamental que um plano terapêutico seja realizado para a cura e/ou o controle da disfunção. Para tanto, o tratamento ideal só pode ser definido pelo Cirurgião Dentista. Além dos métodos convencionais de tratamento da dor, a acupuntura é um método da medicina alternativa e um ramo da medicina tradicional chinesa onde são inseridas finas agulhas no corpo do paciente. O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar na literatura, evidências científicas acerca da eficácia da acupuntura no alívio das dores temporomandibulares. Para a realização desta pesquisa, foi feita uma revisão integrativa da literatura, de caráter descritivo e exploratório, a partir de pesquisa eletrônica na Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), nas bases de dados científicas: LILACS, SCIELO, MEDLINE e BRISA. A partir da análise da literatura, foi evidenciado que a acupuntura é eficaz por agir diretamente no eixo hipotálamo-pituitário-adrenal, é uma terapia sem contraindicações, indolor e de baixo custo. Além disso, os efeitos positivos da acupuntura, auxiliando na terapia da dor crônica, a partir da liberação de opioides que agem diretamente no local da dor, substituindo geralmente a ingestão de fármacos.

A violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes (VSCA) é uma epidemia, que segue trazendo inúmeras consequências para a saúde individual e coletiva. Devido ao agravamento da pandemia, desencadeada pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, e a fundamentalidade da determinação de medidas restritivas que se iniciaram em março de 2020, evidenciou-se um aumento na vulnerabilidade das vítimas, que se mantiveram distantes de agentes de sua rede de apoio principal, as escolas. Objetivo: Analisar o agravamento dos casos de VSCA durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Metodologia: Revisão sistemática de caráter qualitativo e exploratório, seguindo o protocolo PRISMA. Resultados: Demonstraram que dentre as vítimas de 0 até 9 anos, as meninas representam 77%, já entre 10 e 19 anos, o sexo feminino (SF) corresponde por 91% dos registros, ou seja, 86,9% das vítimas de abuso sexual infantil são meninas. Quanto aos autores, 85,2% eram conhecidos das vítimas e 96,3% eram do sexo masculino – parentes, pessoas próximas com livre acesso às crianças o que dificultam ainda mais o processo de denúncia.  Conclusão: O aumento dos casos é evidente no Brasil, principalmente em crianças e adolescentes do SF, e que o isolamento social limitou a possibilidade de as vítimas acionarem as redes de apoio. Frisa-se que identificação dos grupos vulneráveis e a proteção destes, só ocorre através da sua notificação e do desenvolvimento de políticas públicas em todas as esferas – saúde, assistência social, educação, segurança pública etc. – e é claro, da sociedade civil.

A presente pesquisa trata de análise da decisão da dupla paternidade julgada pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal, cujo objeto processual consiste em paternidade biológica/sociafetiva e pluriparentalidade. No caso concreto, a autora (F. G.) é filha biológica de A. N. (pai), e por ocasião do seu nascimento, foi registrada como filha de I. G, com pleito de reconhecimento da paternidade biológica, independente da paternidade socioafetiva, contudo a tese contrária pela preponderância da paternidade socioafetiva em detrimento da biológica. Indaga-se qual a visão hermenêutica do Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) na decisão sobre a dupla paternidade? A hermenêutica da Corte Suprema brasileira torna-se suficiente para demonstrar que tem posição firmada no âmbito do paradigma do Estado Constitucional, na vertente da constitucionalização, para a afirmação da supremacia e da valorização da força normativa da Constituição, com adoção de releitura do Código Civil à luz da Constituição. Em paralelo à filiação biológica, demanda igual proteção o vínculo de parentalidade construído apenas a partir do afeto, com demonstração pela interpretação da possibilidade de proteção jurídica (tutela) independente da modalidade de parentabilidade, com base no princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, no direito à busca da felicidade e do princípio da paternidade responsável. Firmou-se a seguinte tese: “A paternidade socioafetiva, declarada ou não em registro público, não impede o reconhecimento do vínculo de filiação concomitante baseado na origem biológica, com todas as suas consequências patrimoniais e extrapatrimoniais”. Conclui-se que a decisão posta admitiu a viabilidade da dupla paternidade: possibilidade de uma pessoa (filho/a) ter dois pais com os respectivos direitos e deveres nessa relação jurídica de filiação, como no exercício do poder familiar. Desse modo, poderão surgir novos questionamentos judiciais, por exemplo, em matéria sucessória se a herança será recebida dos dois pais, em benefícios previdenciários se importará em receber dos dois pais, ou mesmo a ampliação do número de pais (tripla paternidade) no caso de doação na fertilização in vitro.

A comunidade surda é composta por pessoas que usam Língua de Sinais como primeiro meio de comunicação sendo elas, surdos e ouvintes. Tendo dificuldades ao acesso em locais que são comuns a outras pessoas como hospitais, isso faz com que haja um empecilho na comunicação do surdo com o profissional de saúde durante o atendimento de urgência, onde o profissional de saúde não tem entendimento, e na maioria das vezes não tem experiência sobre a linguagens de sinais. Com isso tende a ter uma comunicação não efetiva e prejudicial ao método da intervenção terapêutica. O objetivo desta revisão e abordar as dificuldades de comunicação na utilização dos serviços de saúde pelo usuário surdo. Na metodologia foi utilizado o software IRAMUTEQ® (Interface de R pour lês Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires) para processamento e análise do corpus textual feito a partir dos artigos levantados através das bases de dados Google Acadêmico e Scielo. Com isto nossos resultados, foram optados pelo uso da classificação hierárquica descendente (CHD) realizado análise textual da pesquisa, com isso o estudo mostrou as principais dificuldades durante o atendimento da pessoa surda no serviço de saúde além das lutas da Comunidade surda e como afeta a qualidade do serviço prestado. Concluindo assim que a pessoa surda constituída ou não de cidadania merece um atendimento de qualidade, que vise a recuperação integral da sua saúde e incentivando o aprendizado de LIBRAS pelos profissionais de Saúde.

Para manter os medicamentos com qualidade, é necessário armazená-los sob condições de temperatura e umidade controlada, conforme as especificações determinadas pelo fabricante, desde a fabricação até a chegada aos pacientes. Estoques que armazenam esses tipos de produtos usam instrumentos de medição de temperatura e umidade (termo-higrômetros) para o monitoramento diário dos parâmetros de temperatura e umidade. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a quantidade e localização dos pontos de monitoramento em um novo estoque, para isso, inicialmente realizou-se um estudo de qualificação térmica, com intuito de verificar a distribuição térmica e identificar os pontos que devem ser monitorados. Neste estudo, uma qualificação térmica foi executada durante um período de 168 (cento e sessenta e oito) horas. A partir dos resultados e da avaliação geral do estoque, foram determinadas metodologias para determinação dos pontos de monitoramento. Foi definida a quantidade de 24 instrumentos para o monitoramento, conforme a metragem determinada para cada ponto da área, mais 9 instrumentos como pontos críticos na qualificação térmica, totalizando, 33 instrumentos de monitoramento de temperatura e umidade no estoque.

Transgênicos e “Organismos Geneticamente Modificados” (OGM) são organismos que receberam por meios de técnicas artificiais em laboratório, genes de outro organismo doador. A necessidade de respostas e esclarecimento de informações sobre o assunto trouxe a objeção de discorrer definições, analisar legislação de rotulagem e comércio e os impactos causados pela produção deste tipo de alimento, principalmente no Brasil, um dos maiores produtores de transgênicos no mundo. O estudo, realizado a partir de fontes secundárias, frisa pontos positivos e negativos da geração e utilização dos transgênicos no cotidiano, considerando a conexão que os mesmos possuem com o uso de agrotóxicos que afetam a saúde e o meio ambiente. Conclui que ambos os lados, tanto os que rejeitam, quanto os que defendem a realidade trazida pela biotecnologia, têm seu argumento válido na ‘batalha’ que envolve o polêmico assunto, assim sendo de maior carência a transparência e divulgação de informações sobre estes alimentos.

A grande maioria dos estudos sobre adiamento de doadores de sangue tem como alvo grandes bancos de sangue que fornecem a maior parte do suprimento de sangue para fins médicos. No entanto, serviços menores de coleta de sangue ainda são importantes no nível local e seus doadores podem ter características demográficas e epidemiológicas distintas. Destacar o perfil epidemiológico dos doadores de sangue e as probabilidades de inaptidão à doação de sangue no Brasil. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura, onde foram coletados os resultados dos principais estudos contidos nas bases de dados científicas SciELO, LILACS e PubMed nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa, e dados da ANVISA. Foram selecionados 17 artigos que se enquadravam nos objetivos e nos critérios de inclusão. Elaborou-se um quadro e três gráficos com o propósito de apresentar de forma objetiva as principais informações coletadas. A análise permanente do perfil epidemiológico e probabilidades de inaptidão à doação de sangue no Brasil serve de subsídio para as políticas públicas, para o fomento às ações de captação de doadores, estimulando ações futuras de doações sanguíneas.
