Authors: Permana Sonny , Yunus Badruzzaman M.
Published: August 2022

Penafsiran jihad mengalami deradikalisasi makna. Hamka melakukan upaya penafsiran jihad jauh melampaui zamanya. Sehingga penafsiran jihad yang selama ini telah terkontaminasi dengan framing radikal. Kini mendapatkan porsi yang lebih menyeluruh dan lebih mengena di hati masyarakat Indonesia. Sehingga tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menelisik upaya penafsiran Hamka mengenai jihad secara historis menggunakan kaca mata hermeneutika, sehingga dihasilkan reasoning (alasan ilmiah) cara berfikir Hamka dalam menafsirkan jihad. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan hermeneutika dalam merangkai kerangka pembahasan. Metode penelitian pada pembahasan ini menggunakan metode tematik konseptual untuk untuk melakukan pelacakan seluruh konsep jihad dalam al-Qur’an yang tidak secara jelas disebutkan atau dijelaskan, akan tetapi secara substansi maknanya terdapat dalam al-Qur’an. Sedangkan metode khusus pada penelitian ini menggunakan metode hermeneutika William Dilthey yang berfungsi juga sebagai pisau analisis penulis dalam mengestrak penafsiran Hamka mengenai jihad.Hasil penelitian ini mengemukakan bahwa Penafsiran jihad Hamka merupakan bentuk upaya Hamka untuk menangkal ideologi imperialisme, komunisme, kristenisasi dan liberalisme dari tanah Indonesia dengan membentuk strategi penafsiran jihad  pada tiga aspek, yakni aspek ekonomi, pendidikan dan sosial politik.

Penerapannya, berupa pemberian izin untuk tidak bekerja karena sakit. Tetapi untuk mendapatkan izin tidak bekerja sangat sulit karena beberapa faktor yang menghambat penerapan hak cuti haid, antara lain minimnya pemahaman pekerja perempuan tentang hak cuti haid, timbulnya kecemburuan sosial antar pekerja khususnya pekerja laki-laki, kurangnya tenaga kerja juga menjadi faktor penghambat mendapat hak cuti haid.
Seawaves in the Qur’anic Perspective
Authors: Busaeri Busaeri , Ahmad Nurwadjah , Ajiwibowo Harmain
Published: August 2022

The development of science contains an invitation to humankind to think, read the universe, and contemplate all the secrets contained in His creation. Scientific cues in the Qur'an show evidence of Allah's oneness and infinite power. There is not a single creation of Allah that is not useful or useless, including the phenomenon of wave terms in the Qur'an. This term in the Qur'an is intended as a negative connotation, a wave that causes extraordinary and frightening destructive power. The research is on the waves from the Qur’anic perspective with thematic approaches. The results of this study show that: first, the sea waves in the Qur'an are called the word al-mauj (الْمَوْجُ) and their derivation is repeated 7 times in Surah Yunus [10]:22, Hud [11]:43, Al-Kahf[18]:99, Hud[11]:42, Lukman [31]:32 and Al-Nur[24]:40 which means اج البحر (moving sea water) which means water the sea up and down, then used in the word اج القوم (group movement) which means they are in dispute over their affairs and problems, then the word اج الحق (movement from the right). The Qur'an refers to two meanings: the movement of seawater in the letters Lukman [31]:32 and Al-Nur[24]:40, the second refers to the movement carried out by a group in the letter. Al-Kahf[18]:99, which refers to Gog and Magog. Second, sea waves in the Qur'an can be proven in scientific studies, including that waves are vibrations that propagate in seawater with several layers that cause waves, the influence of the wind as the driving force of the waves, the presence of internal (deep sea) waves.

Published: August 2022

Dominasi kebudayaan Barat terhadap kebudayaan Timur tidak hanya terkait politik, ilmu pengetahuan yang dikaji dan diwariskan oleh orang-orang Barat pun tidak lepas dari upaya untuk mendominasi. Salah satunya pemikiran orientalis Frans Wijsen yang mengkaji tentang studi agama. Teori evolusionime pada kajian antropologi ternyata berdampak pada munculnya cara pandang yang diskriminitaif terhadap masyarakat adat beserta agamanya. Dengan menggunakan metodologi studi pustaka untuk mencari solusi bagi masalah tersebut ditemukanlah gagasan tentang Studi Agama yang Terlibat. Berdasar pada hal tersebut, Studi Agama mesti merekonstruksi metodologinya agar lebih berkeadilan dan terlibat secara emansipatif.

Aktualisasi Peran Komisi Nasional Hak Asasi Manusia Republik Indonesia dalam Kasus Pelanggaran Hak Asasi Manusia
Authors: Nurani Risma Sri
Published: August 2022

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap peran dari Institusi Negara khususnya penegak hukum dalam menyelesaikan berbagai kasus pelanggaran HAM berat di Indonesia. Tulisan ini berfokus pada lembaga Komisi Nasional Hak Asasi Manusia Republik Indonesia yang merupakan lembaga negara dimana tugas dan wewenangnya penuh dalam menyelidiki, mengkaji, memantau dan memberikan penyuluhan terkait isu HAM di Indonesia. Tulisan ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif melalui proses pengumpulan data secara kepustakaan (library research). Tulisan ini berargumentasi bahwa akibat adanya pelanggaran HAM berat di Indonesia di masa lampau dan dengan tanpa adanya penyelesaian yang pasti menyebabkan tuntutan terhadap pemerintah untuk segera menyelesaikan persoalan tersebut. Meskipun, sejalan dengan kewenangan dan tugas dari Komnas HAM dalam menyelidiki dan mengkaji berbagai macam kasus pelanggaran HAM berat yang pada faktanya komnas HAM telah melakukan tugas dan wewenangnya dengan baik dan prosedural melimpahkan perkara tersebut kepada Kejaksaan Agung untuk selanjutnya dilakukan penyidikan. Akan tetapi, hingga kini permasalahan pelanggaran HAM berat tersebut masih belum terselesaikan hal tersebut juga dipengaruhi oleh sulitnya mendapatkan barang bukti yang kuat oleh penyidik di institusi Kejaksaan Agung serta besarnya pengaruh politk pemerintah. Hal tersebut juga telah mendapat perhatian dari berbagai pihak dan banyak penulis yang beranggapan karena kurangnya wewenang yang diberikan kepada Komnas HAM dalam menyelesaikan kasus pelanggaran HAM berat tersebut maka kasus pelanggaran HAM berat hanya sampai pada Kejaksaan Agung tanpa sampai pada tahap pelimpahan ke Peradilan HAM. Oleh karena itu penulis beranggapan bahwasannya perlu adanya sebuah regulasi setara dengan undang-undang yang memberikan amanat berupa kewenangan penuh dan independen dari negara kepada Komnas HAM dalam melakukan tugas dan wewenangnya dalam menyelidiki, mengkaji dan menyelesaikan kasus pelanggaran HAM berat di Indonesia sebagai cerminan dari negara yang berdaulat, berprikemanusiaan dan berkeadilan.

Authors: Talukdar Lipika , Bora Pradip Chandra
Published: August 2022

A field experiment was carried out at the Instrutional-Cum-Research farm. Assam Agricultural University, Jorhat in the year of 2017-18, during Rabi season. The treatment consisted of two different factors, viz., four dates of sowing 31st October (D1), 10th November (D2), 20th November (D3) and 30th November (D4) and three row spacing 60 cm x 20 cm (S1), 45 cm x 20 cm (S2) and 30 cm x 20 cm (S3). Experimental findings revealed that almost all the yield attributes such as number of cobs per plant, cob length, cob girth, cob weight and baby corn yield were significantly influenced by different dates of sowing. In most of cases early sowing on 31st October and 10th November were statistically at par and shown their superiority over late sowing on 20th November and 30th November sown crop. Results showed that wider spacing of 60 cm x 20 cm had significantly higher number of cobs plant-1, weight of cob and length of cob and cob girth, however, the lowest values were found at 30 cm x 20 cm spacing. Yield of cob with husk, without husk was found to be the higher under spacing 45 cm x 20 cm (88.24 q ha-1 and 20.79 q ha-1, respectively). Cob yield with husk obtained under 45 cm x 20 cm spacing increased by 8.40, 17.57 per cent over other spacing viz., 60 cm x 20 cm and 30 cm x 20 cm, respectively.

Authors: Mokashi M. V. , Khadi P. B.
Published: August 2022

Parental self efficacy is the parent’s conviction about being capable in influencing their children’s behaviour. A correlation research design was employed to study the influence of parental self-efficacy on behavioral problems of pre-school children in both rural and urban locality. Multistage random sampling was employed where rural sample formed 213 pre-school children from ten Anganwadi’s and urban sample formed 121 pre-school children from six Anganwadi’s from the selected villages of Dharwad district. The influence of parental self-efficacy on behavioural problems was studied on a dichotomized sample of 206 children falling in normal and borderline/clinical range for behavioural problems which were assessed by administering the Child Behavior Checklist. The self efficacy among parents was assessed by administering Cooper Parental Self-Efficacy Scale-Child Health Behavior by Cooper (2013). The results revealed that, 47% of pre-schoolers were in the borderline while 13.8 % were in clinical range for behavioural problems. Parents from urban locality had higher self efficacy than rural parents. Parental self efficacy was not found to be significantly influencing behavioural problems among rural pre-schoolers than urban pre-schoolers. To manage the behavioural problems among pre-schoolers, self efficacy skills of parents can be enhanced by adopting individualized intervention programmes.

Authors: Balaganvi Subhas
Published: August 2022

A field study was conducted at the Agricultural Research Station, Gangavati in northern Karnataka during Rabi/ summer, 2007-’08 and 2008-’09 to investigate the effects of drip and surface irrigation levels on the economic viability of growing beetroot crop under the salt-affected soils. The experiments were conducted in strip plot design with three soil salinity levels (EC - 1.3, 2.7 and 4.3 dS m-1) in main plots and five drip irrigation levels (0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 and 1.4 ET) and three surface irrigation levels ( 0.8, 1.0 and 1.2 ET) in sub plots with three replications. The total water used (500.1 and 557.8 mm ET during 2007-’08 and 2008- ’09, respectively) was the highest in case of drip irrigation under 1.4 ET and the lowest (282.3 and 296.4 mm) was in case of 0.6 ET. Among the surface irrigation schedules, the highest (424.5 and 487.3 mm) water was used under the irrigation level of 1.2. The gross income was more in drip irrigation than surface irrigation. Among all the different irrigation levels, the maximum gross seasonal income, net returns and BC ratio were obtained in 1.2 ET with drip irrigation and the minimum in case of surface irrigation at 0.8 ET during both the years of study. The irrigation scheduled at 1.2 ET level was more profitable as compared to the other treatments in both the methods of irrigation. The magnitude of 4.5, 5.0 and 20.5 per cent increase in the BC ratio were noticed in case of drip irrigation level at 1.2 ET over that of surface irrigation respectively in salinity levels I, II and III during 2007’-08. Similar trend was observed during 2008-’09.

Authors: Preeti  , Mehta Manju
Published: August 2022

Working culture and ergonomics of any individual plays an important role in the physical and mental health of the person. The study about male street hawkers and the ergonomics assessment which carries hawkers’ musculoskeletal condition along with physical condition are combined and their impact is widespread. They are the most common cause of severe long-term pain and physical disability affecting the psychosocial status of affected people as well as their families and caretakers. In all occupations, incorrect body posture is the most important cause of musculoskeletal disorders. The study was aimed to examine 40 random street hawkers and their working posture using the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method. It was analyzed that around 70 % of hawkers had a medium to high risk of developing work related musculoskeletal disorder. Trunk, upper arm and lower arm postures were mainly contributing to the REBA score, putting street hawkers at high risk of developing a musculoskeletal disorder. Ergonomic intervention to reduce musculoskeletal disorders includes engineering improvements which include rearranging, modifying, redesigning equipments which eliminates and reduces the hazard due to improper body posture and long working hour cycles. Mechanization of the stalls to reduce the musculoskeletal strain is possible. In areas, where mechanization is not possible, ergonomically correct measures to avoid musculoskeletal disorders are to be taken.

Follow the River: City Regeneration in Tension as Works of Water
Authors: Golovátina-Mora Polina
Published: August 2022

The article looks at some examples of the urban regeneration strategies and initiatives in Medellín, Colombia. Being part of the process of regeneration of the country after the decades of the armed conflict the initiatives transform the city at least by creating the discourse that facilitates the social change in the city. The ontological proposal of feminist more-than-humanism focusing on materiality of water, particularly its rhizomatic connectivity, allows rethinking the concept of the city and its regeneration as generation of the inclusive space that provides habitat and life for anyone who wants to live in, around, through, and with the city. The revised initiatives are symbolically divided into two groups: water plans of connection-fragmentation policy and traces of water—mostly grassroots connectivity in response to the dominating power structures. They are not uniform groups and are the products/processes of tension between opposite tendencies. Creative tension is works of water. Water looks at limitations as at the opportunity to create the new. Its regeneration is not re- but generation of the inclusive habitat that provides life for anyone who wants to live in, around, through, and with the city.

Published: August 2022

The paper aims to explore how the introduction of an electronic tax system impacts on economic growth in Nigeria. The neoclassical growth theory and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was used in the study. Based on diagnostic tests, Autoregressive Distributed Lag bounds test regression model was adequately created. The quarterly secondary data of Central Bank of Nigeria and tax statistics data were divided into two periods for analysis: from 2011q1 to 2015q3 pre-electronic tax period (pre-e-tax) and from 2015q4 to 2020q4 post-electronic tax period (post-e-tax). In pre-e-tax in the long-run, education trust fund revenue strongly enhances economic growth, company income tax and stamp duty are moderate revenue earners for economic growth, while petroleum profit tax revenue have moderate negative impact on economic growth. Value added tax and capital gain tax revenues insignificantly decreases in economic growth in the same period. In post-e-tax in the long run, value added tax, petroleum profit tax, and capital gin tax insignificantly decreases economic growth, while company income tax, education trust fund, and stamp duty insignificantly enhance it. For pre-e-tax revenue in the short-run, education trust fund strongly decreases economic growth, value added tax and petroleum profit tax had insignificant positive influence, while company income tax, capital gain tax, and stamp duty had no impact. For post-e-tax revenue in the short-run company income tax had no influence, value added tax had moderate negative impact, petroleum profit tax had a strong positive impact, education trust fund, capital gain tax, and stamp duty had strong negative impact on economic growth. To optimize the relationship between tax structure and economic growth, tax evasion, corruption, and tax avoidance should be checked.

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT Background Reaction time is affected under different neurological conditions but has not been much investigated considering all types of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Objective This study investigated the diagnostic accuracy of CompCog, a computerized cognitive screening battery focusing on reaction time measurements. Methods A sample of 52 older adults underwent neuropsychological assessments, including CompCog, and medical appointments, to be classified as a control group or be diagnosed with MCI. The accuracy of CompCog for distinguishing between the two groups was calculated. Results The results from diagnostic accuracy analyses showed that the AUCs of ROC curves were as high as 0.915 (CI 0.837-0.993). The subtest with the highest sensitivity and specificity (choice reaction time subtest) had 91.7% sensitivity and 89.3% specificity. The logistic regression final model correctly classified 92.3% of individuals, with 92.9% specificity and 91.7% sensitivity, and included only four variables from different subtests. Conclusions In summary, the study showed that reaction time assessed through CompCog is a good screening measure to differentiate between normal aging and MCI. Reaction time measurements in milliseconds were more accurate than correct answers. This test can form part of routine clinical tests to achieve the objectives of screening for MCI, indicating further procedures for investigation and diagnosis and planning interventions.
Diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome and use of Brighton criteria in Peruvian hospitals
Authors: Malaga Marco , Rodriguez-Calienes Aaron , Velasquez-Rimachi Victor , Alva-Diaz Carlos
Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT Background: Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune disease of the peripheral nervous system that caused multiple epidemiological outbreaks in Peru during 2018 and 2019. It is usually diagnosed using the Brighton criteria (BC). Objective: We aimed to determine the performance of Peruvian neurologists in diagnosing GBS based on the BC, along with its associated factors. Methods: This was a retrospective multicenter cohort study. We included patients diagnosed with GBS between 2007 and 2018 in three public hospitals in Lima, Peru. We collected data regarding demographic, clinical and management characteristics. We evaluated the use of the BC for confirmatory diagnosis of GBS and developed a logistic regression model to identify factors associated with its use. Results: Out of 328 cases, we reviewed 201 available charts. The median age was 48 years, with male predominance. Over half of the patients presented an inadequate motor examination according to their Medical Research Council (MRC) score. Additional testing included lumbar puncture and electrophysiological testing, in over 70% of the cases. The BC showed certainty level 1 in 13.4% and levels 2 and 3 in 18.3%. Neither the quality of the motor examination nor the type of institution showed any association with the BC. Conclusions: Level 1 diagnostic certainty of the BC was met in less than one quarter of the cases with a GBS diagnosis in three centers in Lima, Peru, between 2007 and 2018. This level was not significantly associated with being treated in a specialized institute, rather than in a general hospital.

ABSTRACT The Guidelines for Stroke Rehabilitation are the result of a joint effort by the Scientific Department of Neurological Rehabilitation of the Brazilian Academy of Neurology aiming to guide professionals involved in the rehabilitation process to reduce functional disability and increase individual autonomy. Members of the group participated in web discussion forums with predefined themes, followed by videoconference meetings in which issues were discussed, leading to a consensus. These guidelines, divided into two parts, focus on the implications of recent clinical trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses in stroke rehabilitation literature. The main objective was to guide physicians, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, nutritionists, and other professionals involved in post-stroke care. Recommendations and levels of evidence were adapted according to the currently available literature. Part I discusses topics on rehabilitation in the acute phase, as well as prevention and management of frequent conditions and comorbidities after stroke.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze sexual function and its correlation with sexuality and quality of life in male older adults. Methods: a cross-sectional study, developed with 231 male older adults. Participants completed four instruments to obtain biosociodemographic data, sexual function, sexuality and quality of life. Analyzes were performed using the Mann-Whitney test and Spearman Correlation. Results: sexual function was positively correlated with sexuality in a moderate magnitude and with quality of life in a low magnitude. Male older adults without sexual dysfunction experienced their sexuality better and had a better quality of life. Finally, partner overall satisfaction was the facet of sexual function that had the highest positive correlation with sexuality, while self-confidence had the highest positive correlation with quality of life. Conclusions: we suggest that sexual function should be addressed more frequently in Primary Health Care services, as we found statistically significant correlations with sexuality and quality of life components.

ABSTRACT Introduction: treating benign (hormonally active or nonfunctional) and malignant adrenal cancer includes adrenalectomy. The expertise of surgeons and surgery performed by high-volume surgeons were associated with fewer complications and lower cost. We aimed to describe and compare the number of surgeries, mortality rate, and length of hospital stay for adrenalectomies performed between 2008 and 2019 in the public health system of São Paulo. Methods: this was an ecological study. The data were collected using the TabNet Platform of the Unified Health System Department of Informatics. Outcomes analyzed included the number of surgeries performed, mortality rate during hospital stay, and length of hospital stay. Public hospitals in Sao Paulo were divided into three subgroups according to the surgical volume of adrenalectomies performed as well as hospitals with and without a residency program in Urology, and the results were compared among them. Results: a total of 943 adrenalectomies were performed in Sao Paulo between 2008 and 2019. Mortality rates during hospital stay according to hospital surgical volume were no reported deaths in low-volume, 0.015% in intermediate-volume, and 0.004% in high-volume hospitals. The average length of the ICU stay was 1.03 days in low-volume, 2.8 in intermediate-volume, and 1.12 in high-volume hospitals (analysis between intermediate and high volume centers with statistical significance, p=0.016). Conclusions: despite no statistically significant differences among the groups analyzed, mortality rates were very low in all groups. ICU stay was shorter in high-volume centers than in intermediate-volume centers.
Sismos e réplicas na escrita de Villoro: entre 8.8 e El vértigo horizontal
Authors: Gárate Miriam V.
Published: August 2022

Resumo A figuração do sismo (e de suas réplicas) é recorrente na escrita do mexicano Juan Villoro, perpassando crônicas, romances e ensaios nos quais a iminência do fim e a dádiva fortuita da provisória sobrevivência tornam-se objetos de uma meditação que entrelaça literatura, memórias individuais, experiências coletivas e comunitárias, ética e política. O texto aborda dois de seus livros nos quais os tremores ganham centralidade: 8.8. El miedo en el espejo (2010) - “crônica em fragmentos” escrita após ter vivenciado o terremoto do Chile de 2010, no qual reverbera, por sua vez, o terremoto mexicano de 1985 - e El vértigo horizontal. Una ciudad llamada México (2018) - livro dedicado à cidade do México, concluído com um fragmento sobre o último tremor ocorrido na capital, em 2017, e uma litania originariamente publicada dois dias depois dessa (provisoriamente) última catástrofe. Conexões metafóricas do evento sísmico com o literário, o político e as possibilidades de vida em comum são explorados ao longo da leitura.
La salvaje belleza de la vida. Cuerpo y escucha en Tres tristes tigres
Authors: Hernández Leonardo Javier Rodríguez
Published: August 2022

Resumen El presente artículo propone una interpretación de La Estrella en Tres tristes tigres como una figura al margen del canon de la literatura cubana. Si para Lorenzo García Vega, el canon consistía en la polaridad madre-miliciana, en el personaje de Cabrera Infante hay una protagonista nocturna que desacata a la vez la domesticidad maternal origenista y el belicismo revolucionario. La Estrella es caracterizada por el narrador Códac a través de su voz oceánica y su cuerpo monstruoso; su presencia opera una iniciación a una escucha abismal en el narrador. En juego con el concepto de reconocimiento propuesto por Paul Ricoeur, de la teoría de lo grotesco de Wolfgang Kayser y de la tipología de la escucha de Roland Barthes, “Ella cantaba boleros” se interpreta como una transformación paródica de la épica. La sobrevivencia ocurre a través de la memoria novelesca, matriz de la narración. La Estrella es una sinécdoque de La Habana que desaparece.
Mutual Information: A way to quantify correlations
Authors: Tisoc Marcelo , Beltrán Jhosep Victorino
Published: August 2022

Within the framework of Information Theory, the existence of correlations between two random variables means that we can obtain information about one of them, just by measuring or observing the other random variable. In certain cases, this kind of relationship allows obtaining information about a variable even when the other is separated by a very large distance, that is, the process of obtaining information is non-local, an example (if not the only) is the quantum entanglement. These features of correlations make it interesting and important to study, classify and quantify them. The correlations are classified into classical correlations and quantum correlations, in addition they are quantified through the mutual information. Here we will present a natural way to define classical mutual information and then we will generalize it to the quantum case. Furthermore, every term in the definitions of mutual information will be interpreted using the concepts of classical and quantum entropy.

Abstract Objective To identify variables associated with religious practice in Brazilian adults and older adults aged 50 and over. Method In this observational and cross-sectional study, the participants included 7,171 individuals aged 50 and over from a representative national sample (N=9,412), interviewed in the first wave of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging (ELSI-Brazil), on frequency of participation in religious services, religious affiliation, self-rated health, sex, age, education, living arrangements, region of residence, and race. The Poisson regression model was used to investigate crude and adjusted associations between variables. Results Fifty-seven percent of the sample was female, the mean age was 62.5±9.4 years old, the majority had 5 to 8 years of education and lived with 3 or more people, 42% resided in the Southeast region, and 48% self-declared as Pardo [mixed race], 66% were Catholic, 76% attended religious services once or more times a week, and 45% rated their health as fair. The most frequent participants in religious services were Black (PR=1.06, 95%CI 1.00-1.12)and mixed race (PR=1.07, 95%CI 1.03-1.11), Evangelical (PR =1.26, 95%CI 1.22-1.30), and self-rated their health as fair (PR=1.07, 95%CI 1.02-1.11). In contrast, the least frequent were male (PR=0.87, 95%CI 0.84-0.90), with 5 to 8 years of education (PR=0.92, 95%CI 0.88-0.97), residing in the Southeast (PR=0.91, 95%CI 0.86-0.95) and South (PR=0.90, 95%CI 0.82-0.99) regions. Conclusion Self-declaration as Black and mixed race, Evangelical religion, and self-rated health as fair were associated with higher attendance at religious services among Brazilians aged 50 and over.

Published: August 2022

ABSTRACT Purpose: to identify, through a scoping review, the categories of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health described in studies on aphasia. Methods: the search was performed by DECs, MeSH terms and free terms related to the “International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health” and “aphasia” in five databases, EMBASE, LILACS, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, and four search engines of grey literature. The PRISMA recommendations were used. EndNote and Rayyan managers were used to remove duplicates and read titles, abstracts and full studies. Papers that contained “aphasia” and some aspect from the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health were eligible, published from 2001. The data recorded were: type of study, level of evidence, sample, objectives and categories. Literature Review: 1,366 studies were located in the databases and 341 in the grey literature. The mostly described first level categories in the 13 selected studies were: Structures of the Nervous System (Brain); Mental Functions (Language); Communication (Conversation); Support and Relationships (Immediate Family). Gender and age were some of the most identified Personal Factors. Conclusion: this review provides support to the use of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health for performance with people with aphasia.

Abstract Evidence indicates that migratory fish reproduce in the middle Uruguay River, but the location of spawning sites remains unknown. To identify spawning sites in the basin, fish eggs and larvae were sampled monthly between October 2016 and January 2017. The sampling was carried out in three sections along the middle Uruguay River, covering two environments: the main channel and the mouth of tributaries (Comandaí, Ijuí, and Piratinim rivers). A total of 11,519 eggs and 3,211 larvae were captured, belonged to ten migratory species. Eggs and larvae of migratory fishes, were widely distributed, with predominance of segmented eggs, and larvae in yolk-sac and pre-flexion stages, with higher densities near the confluence with the Piratinim River. Larvae assemblages showed spatial variation, indicating that spawning sites differ among migratory species. This study provides new information about fish reproduction in the middle Uruguay River, revealing that migratory species spawn in different localities along the main channel and tributaries. This region may function as a critical site for fish reproduction, although it is currently threatened by the risk of hydropower expansion, emphasizing the need for measures that preserve their environmental conditions, hydrological connectivity and ecological functions.
The public/private relationship in youth mediated by digital social media platforms
Authors: Santos Rodrigo Otávio dos
Published: August 2022

Abstract This article aims to discuss, through exploratory and bibliographic research, the relationships between the public and the private in the life of young people mediated by digital social media platforms. Initially, the article approaches the main characteristics of this population, and then throws light on digital social media platforms and their algorithms. The last part of the text addresses the public/private relationship for urban youths in their digital social media. The main result is an in-depth discussion about the conflicting relationship between capitalist platforms of digital social media and the young mind that barely manages to perceive the difference between public and private.
