W co wierzy ochrzczony niewierzący, gdy zawiera małżeństwo?

What Does a Baptized Non-believer Believe in When Contracting a Marriage?In the presented study, the author’s main focus of attention was seeking answers to the question included in the title: “What Does a Baptized Non-believer Believe in When Contracting a Marriage?” Trying to answer such a research question, he pointed out that the answer cannot be obtained through referring to the subject element. According to the author, from this perspective, it is impossible to precisely determine the level of faith that would invalidate sacramental marriage. This is because, on the one hand, law as a field of knowledge does not have adequate tools to ver-ify the existing facts, and on the other hand, faith as a phenomenon is meta-juridical. The author expressed his view that the act of marital consent should become the point of reference. Analyzing the mechanisms of functioning of two defects of the consent – namely, exclusion of the sacramental dignity of marriage (can. 1101 § 2 CL) and error concerning the sacramental dignity of marriage (can. 1099 CL) – he proved that a baptized nonbeliever should not contest the object of marital consent consistent with the vision of the Catholic Church since this will, in his conviction, implies the fulfilment of the traditional doctrinal requirement of “doing what the Church does.”

Marriage for reasons wholly alien to marital lifeThe article concerns the issue of the title of the marriage for reasons wholly foreign to marital life. There are certain motives, benefits and subjective aims which, in the phenomenon of simulation, anticipate a positive act of will excluding marriage, some essential quality or its essential element. For evidentiary purposes, they are very important because, although they are not in themselves a positive act of exclusion, they nevertheless explain the biographical setting which makes it reasonable to assume that there was a possibility of a positive act of exclusion. However, the key to deter-mining whether a marriage was validly celebrated under the influence of a reason for a foreign marriage lif e isintentio praevalens. Only if the cause of the simulation outweighs the cause of the marriage, then we are dealing with an annulled marriage.
The Impact of Ride Hail Services on the Accessibility of Nonprofit Services
Authors:   University of Oregon, Mason Dyana , Menard Miranda ,   University of Oregon
Published: May 2021

Nonprofit organizations are responsible for providing a significant level of human services across the United States, often in collaboration with government agencies. In this work, they address some of the most pressing social issues in society – including homelessness, poverty, health care and education. While many of these organizations consider location and accessibility crucial to supporting their clients – often locating services near bus or train stops, for example – little is known about the impact of new technologies, including ride hail services like Lyft and Uber, on nonprofit accessibility. These technologies, which are re-shaping transportation in both urban and suburban communities, are expected to dramatically shift how people move around and the accessibility of services they seek. This exploratory qualitative study, making use of interviews with nonprofit executives and nonprofit clients, is among the first of its kind to measure the impact of ride hail services and other emerging technologies on community mobility and accessibility.

ABSTRACT Background: Use of internationally standardized instruments to assist healthcare professionals in accurately recognizing stroke early is recommended. The process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation is important for ensuring that scales are interpreted in the same way in different languages, thus ensuring applicability in several countries. Objective: To translate into Brazilian Portuguese, cross-culturally adapt and validate the Cincinnati Prehospital Stroke Scale, using a representative sample of the Brazilian population. Method: The present study included patients with suspected stroke who were treated at a Brazilian emergency medical service and referred to a stroke center. A systematic process of translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the original scale and application of the final instrument was performed. Statistical analysis was used to assess the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the scale. Cohen’s kappa coefficient was used to assess inter-rater reliability. Results: After translation and cross-cultural adaptation, the scale was applied to 64 patients. It showed 93.0% accuracy and 92.4% sensitivity in relation to the final “gold standard” diagnosis. Cohen’s kappa coefficient was calculated using data from 26 patients (40.6%) and showed excellent inter-rater reliability between items on the scale (0.8385 to 1.0000). Conclusion: The scale demonstrated excellent accuracy, sensitivity and inter-rater reliability. It was a useful tool for assisting healthcare professionals during initial assessments on patients with suspected stroke and significantly contributed to early recognition of stroke in a simple and quick manner.
O que funciona e o que não funciona para reduzir homicídios no Brasil: uma revisão sistemática
Authors: Kopittke Alberto L. W. , Ramos Marília Patta
Published: May 2021

Resumo Este artigo tem por objetivo identificar quais são as evidências científicas existentes no Brasil, hoje, sobre o que funciona e o que não funciona para reduzir o número de homicídios, por meio da primeira revisão sistemática já realizada no país acerca da efetividade de programas de segurança pública, utilizando a mesma metodologia do Relatório Maryland, realizado em 1997, o qual revisou os estudos já produzidos em língua inglesa e que é considerado um marco no surgimento da chamada segurança pública baseada em evidências (SPBE). A busca resultou em um total de 13.352 estudos analisados, dos quais 41 preencheram os critérios de inclusão, resultando na identificação de 8 tipos de programas que funcionam, 7 programas promissores, 7 programas com resultados indefinidos e 2 programas com evidências que não funcionam. O estudo mostrou que o país dispõe de programas inovadores que são efetivos para reduzir homicídios, enquanto ações tradicionalmente citadas como soluções para a área não apresentam evidências científicas de que funcionem. Embora atrasado em relação ao desenvolvimento internacional, o paradigma da SPBE apresenta grande potencial para aumentar a efetividade do gasto público, auxiliar o país a reduzir a violência e superar processos de tomada de decisão baseados em crenças, corporativismos, preconceitos e populismos políticos.

Resumo Esta pesquisa tem por objetivo evidenciar os efeitos direto e indireto do tamanho no desempenho dos municípios de Santa Catarina, em razão da discussão acadêmica quanto ao tamanho do município afetar o desempenho deste. Analisaram-se todos os municípios do estado de Santa Catarina, no período de 2005 a 2016, compreendendo três períodos eleitorais. A amostra é de 3.504 observações, com 293 municípios, no período de 12 anos. A análise de dados em painel foi estimada por mínimos quadrados generalizados factíveis (MQGF). Observa-se nos resultados indícios de que o tamanho afeta de forma direta e positiva o desempenho municipal e de forma indireta quando associado com a escolaridade do prefeito. Assim, nos municípios catarinenses, quanto maior for a população, maior será o IPTU arrecado per capita. E quanto maior for o tamanho da população associado a prefeitos com maior grau de escolaridade, maior será o desempenho municipal. Quando o desempenho é medido pelo percentual do IPTU arrecadado da receita fiscal total, não há efeito do tamanho e do tamanho associado à capacidade do prefeito no desempenho.
Transparência interna: cumprimento e punição no processo orçamentário municipal brasileiro
Authors: Cruz Tássia , Michener Gregory , Andretti Bernardo
Published: May 2021

Resumo Muito tem sido escrito a respeito da transparência externa no setor público. No entanto, a transparência interna - a divulgação inter- e intra-governamental de informações - é comumente negligenciada como objeto de estudo. Subestimar a transparência interna é surpreendente, pois ela é um fator determinante para a coordenação de políticas públicas e para uma governança democrática de qualidade. O presente artigo analisa os custos de curto e longo prazos do não cumprimento de requisitos de transparência interna vinculados aos orçamentos municipais em geral e aos gastos com educação em particular. Neste estudo, utilizamos métodos mistos, analisando quantitativamente os incentivos de curto prazo para cumprir os requisitos de transparência do financiamento da educação e, qualitativamente, as consequências futuras decorrentes do seu descumprimento. Os resultados revelam que municípios que recebem maior volume de transferências voluntárias têm maior probabilidade de atender aos requisitos de transparência interna; contudo, os custos de não cumprir tais requisitos são baixos e facilmente reversíveis a curto prazo. No longo prazo, os prefeitos que não cumprirem a regulação orçamentária, incluindo a legislação para a transparência interna, podem enfrentar consequências mais severas, como a possibilidade de serem futuramente impedidos de exercer seus cargos. No entanto, nossos resultados mostram relativamente poucos casos de punição e que, em média, essas punições só são aplicadas após dez anos de processos judiciais. De modo geral, demonstramos que os Tribunais de Contas - principais agentes para a accountability orçamentária dos 5.570 municípios brasileiros - são tão importantes quanto ineficazes para a transparência interna.

Authors: Olariaga Oscar Díaz
Published: May 2021

Resumen Siguiendo la tendencia mundial y regional, Colombia liberalizó el sector o industria del transporte aéreo, a principios de década de 1990, y con ello dio inicio a una ininterrumpida (hasta el presente) batería de políticas públicas para dicho sector, paralelamente acompañadas de varias reformas a nivel institucional, todas ellas basadas en la concepción de que el estado colombiano considera el transporte aéreo un servicio público esencial, y que contribuye al desarrollo económico nacional. Por lo tanto, este trabajo, cuyo carácter es de análisis de un estudio de caso, presenta y analiza el impacto de las políticas públicas en el desarrollo y evolución de la industria del transporte aéreo en Colombia. Para ello el análisis se centra, por un lado, en el enfoque y planteamiento de las autoridades colombianas en el diseño e implementación de dichas políticas públicas, y por otro, en la evaluación del desarrollo y crecimiento del sector del transporte aéreo y su directa influencia en otras industrias relacionadas e indicadores socioeconómicos. El principal resultado de las políticas implementadas es: el alto y continuo crecimiento del tráfico aéreo, principalmente a nivel doméstico, lo que consolidó y fortaleció la conectividad y cohesión territorial; aportación a la riqueza nacional; generación de empleo; y apoyo a industrias muy relacionadas entre sí.

Published: May 2021

Resumo O artigo analisa os efeitos do tamanho do governo na corrupção dos municípios brasileiros entre 2005 e 2016. Para tal, é utilizada uma medida de corrupção objetiva, construída com base em dados disponibilizados pela Controladoria-Geral da União (CGU) e na técnica de dados em painel. Os resultados revelaram uma relação significativa e inversa entre tamanho do governo e corrupção nos municípios brasileiros. Assim, a corrupção pode não estar relacionada ao tamanho do governo. A boa governança, em conjunto com a efetividade das normas legais, é uma forma de inibir atividades ligadas à corrupção nos municípios brasileiros.

ABSTRACT Bovine clinical mastitis caused by Staphylococcus spp. is a serious and widespread disease in the world of dairy farming. Antimicrobial therapy is of fundamental importance in the prevention and treatment of infectious mastitis, but the indiscriminate use of antimicrobials acts as a determining factor for the spread of the disease. The present study evaluated the resistance profiles of 57 Staphylococcus spp. isolated from bovine clinical mastitis to beta-lactams and gentamicin, relating characteristics of phenotype (in vitro susceptibility tests) and genotype (detection and expression of genes encoding resistance - mecA, mecALGA251, blaZ, femA, femB, and aacA-aphD - using PCR and RT-PCR, respectively). One or more genes coding for resistance to different antimicrobials were detected in 50 Staphylococcus spp. isolates. The femA and femB genes were the most frequent (75.4% for both). The observed expression of the genes was as follows: blaZ (60%), femA (39.5%), aacA-aphD (50%), femB (32.6%), mecA (8.3%), and mecALGA251 (0%). Considering the relevance of the genus Staphylococcus to bovine mastitis, this study aimed to elucidate aspects regarding the genotypic and phenotypic profiles of these microorganisms so as to contribute to the development of effective strategies for mastitis control.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a gel formulation from the association of Plectranthus neochilus and Cnidoscolus quercifolius on tissue repair in cutaneous wounds in rats. A surgical wound was induced in 35 Wistar rats and treated according to group: G1 - commercial phytotherapeutic gel; G2 - Carbopol gel 1%; G3, 4, 5 - gel formulation from Boldo-gambá and Favela (FGBF) at 2.5%, 5%, and 10%, respectively. 1ml of the product was applied topically daily, for 14 days. Macroscopic evaluation of the wound showed inflammation, granulation, and epithelization in all groups. The FGBF 2.5% group showed greater angiogenic potential. There was a significant difference between the surgical area of the wounds treated with FGBF 2.5%, 5%, or 10% compared to the group with the commercial phytotherapeutic gel. On histomorphometry of the skin, there were reepithelization of the epidermis and superficial dermis, longitudinal collagen fibers, fibroblasts, and blood vessels, and in the deeper dermis, fibroblasts, transverse and longitudinal collagen fibers, blood vessels, and inflammatory cells. The 2.5% formulation had the greatest increase in fibroblast proliferation and most intense collagenization on day 14 of treatment.

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of different periods of pre-slaughter fasting (F1: 2 to 24 hours and F2: 48 to 72 hours) on the counts of hygiene indicator microorganisms and the presence of Salmonella spp. in carcasses of bullfrogs. Two different stages of the slaughter process were analyzed: after bleeding (A) and after the final carcasses cleaning (B). Samples from each fasting period were analyzed to count hygiene indicator microorganisms (n=30) and Salmonella spp. (n=140). For aerobic mesophilic microorganisms, the variation in fasting periods caused a reduction of 0.69 log10 CFU / g (P<0.05) in F2 when compared to F1 at point B of the slaughter. Coliforms at 35º C and Escherichia coli showed no differences (P >0.05) between the fasting analyzed periods. Considering the presence of E. coli, it was observed that F2 resulted in a reduction of 30% (P<0.05) positivity on point B. For Salmonella spp., the results showed that F2 contributed to an 11.5% reduction in the presence of this bacteria at point B. (P<0.05). Therefore, it is concluded that 48 to 72 hours of pre-slaughter fasting resulted in a positive impact on the microbiological quality of bullfrog carcasses.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the rate of conception, metabolic, and structural conditions of cryopreserved bovine sperm cells, plus extender with IGF-1 and glutathione (GSH). 12 ejaculations of Nelore bulls were used, submitted to treatments: control, gSH (2mM/mL), IGF-1 (100ng/mL) and gSH (1mM/mL) + IGF-1 (50ng/mL). After cryopreservation and thawing the semen passed the fast thermo resistance test (TTR), plasma membrane and acrosomal integrity (PIAI), mitochondrial membrane potential (AP), oxidative stress, and conception rate. Tukey test was used for the statistical analysis of the parametric variables and the Friedman test for nonparametric. The gestation percentage was compared by the Chi-square test. There was no statistical difference (P<0.05) between treatments for the TTRr variable. Otherwise in the oxidative stress evaluated with the CellROX probe was noted that the IGF-1 showed the highest number of reactive cells (P<0.05). The PIAI, AP and gestation rate showed no difference among treatments (P>0.05), with an average of conceptions of 36.58%. It is concluded that IGF-1, gSH and their association did not cause changes in sperm motility, mitochondrial potential, plasma and acrosomal membrane integrity. IGF-1 increased oxidative stress, however, there was no difference in the gestation rate among the treatments.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate different supplementation strategies concentrated to F1 Holstein x Zebu lactating cows managed in deferred signal grass pasture on the yield and composition of milk and body weight gain. Thirty six F1 Holstein x Zebu cows with an average lactation period of 267 ± 10 days, mean body weight of 548 ± 19kg were used following a completely randomized design in a 4 x 5 factorial scheme, being four feeding strategies and five days under evaluation. The treatments consisted of four nutritional strategies: deferred pasture as a source of roughage without supplementation (PDSS); deferred pasture as a source of roughage with protein supplement offer (PDCS); deferred pasture supplemented with 15 kilos of corn silage (natural base) + 1,200 grams of protein supplement (PDSP) and corn silage (ad libitum) + 700 grams of protein supplement (SMP). There was no interaction (P> 0.05) between the nutritional plans and days under evaluation for any of the variables. It was found that cows fed SMP showed milk production 26.06% higher than the other nutritional plans (mean of 11.46kg/day). F1 Holstein/Zebu cows handled in deferred pasture in a traditional way supplemented with protein maintains milk yield.

ABSTRACT Tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) associated to cranial wedge closing ostectomy (CCWO) has been one of the best options to manage cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) disease and excessive tibial plateau angle (TPA) in large dogs, however, the complication rate is potentially high. It is believed that a more robust fixation is necessary to stabilize them and decrease the risk of implant failure. A 6-year-old male American Pit Bull, weighing 36kg, with 90-day history of right hind limb lameness, was diagnosed with CCL disease. Due to the excessive tibial plateau angle (42°), TPLO was associated with a modified CCWO using a double plating technique. A final TPA of 12⁰ was accomplished, and a restricted level of exercises and physiotherapy were recommended. The patient was followed monthly until the fifth month postoperatively, when radiographic bone consolidation and no lameness were observed. By the date of this submission, 3 years after the procedure, the owner has reported no complications. The double plating technique for fixing TPLO and modified CCWO proved to be effective for the treatment of CrCL deficiency in a large dog with an excessive TPA.

Published: May 2021

ABSTRACT This study aims to determine the relationship between indicators of the motor activity, pH factor, rumen and rectal temperature within 10 days after calving and to analyze the possibility of using the studied parameters as prognostic signs for diagnosing sub-acute rumen acidosis (SARA). The measurements were taken using bolus with sensors designed to monitor cow health. The motor activity, pH factor and ruminal temperature of 10 cows were measured during 10 days at a measurement interval of every 60 seconds. Next, the researchers calculated the average values of the obtained readings, which were divided into 2 groups according to a measurement interval of every 12 hours. Rectal temperature was measured using a veterinary thermometer every 12 hours (at 8 a.m. and at 8 p.m.). As a result, 200 measurements were obtained. Descriptive sampling statistics were calculated using the SPSS Statistics program. An increase in motor activity reduces the pH level of the rumen environment. Lowering the pH factor of the rumen environment leads to an increase in ruminal temperature. There is a positive statistically significant correlation between ruminal and rectal temperature. The nosology of SARA can be predicted by measuring the motor activity and rectal temperature of dairy cows.

ABSTRACT Objective: cultural adaptation and validation of the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire to assess moral sensitivity among Brazilian nurses. Method: methodological study with 106 nurses from two hospitals located in the south of Brazil. The instrument was culturally adapted according to international guidelines, following six steps: translation, reconciliation of translated versions, back translation, expert panel, pretest, and final review. The Brazilian version was validated in the Brazilian context using factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha. Results: after the expert panel’s assessment, pretest, and verification of face and content validity, the instrument was considered satisfactory to be applied among Brazilian nurses. Six constructs were identified: Respect for patients’ autonomy, modified autonomy, experiencing moral conflict, having confidence in medical and nursing knowledge, structuring moral meanings, and teamwork. The instrument presented satisfactory internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha equal to 0.62; the Cronbach’s alpha of the six constructs ranged from 0.60 to 0.67. Conclusion: the Brazilian version of the Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire is valid and reliable to be applied among Brazilian nurses and can improve understanding of factors involving decision-making when facing ethical conflicts.

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the Theory of Chronic Sorrow, following the model of analysis and evaluation of Nursing theories proposed by Jacqueline Fawcett. Method: a reflective study, developed through the investigation of the Theory of Chronic Sorrow and its application in the nursing practice. The sample consisted of eighteen studies that used the theory as a reference. A Model for Analysis and Evaluation of Nursing Theories was used, which involved, in the first stage, a detailed examination of the referred theory in terms of scope, context and content. In the second stage - evaluation - the criteria of clarity, significance, internal consistency, parsimony, testability, empirical adequacy and pragmatic adequacy were used. Result: This is a mid-range theory that is predictive in relation to the scope. As for the context, it is based on the stress and adaptation model. The content presents well-defined and interrelated concepts. The concepts of meta-paradigm have significance, internal consistency and are operable. It features a usable instrument: The Chronic Sorrow Questionnaire, reliable as a tracking tool to detect the presence of chronic sorrow. The theory is parsimonious, it can be used with chronic diseases and directed to people in the final phase of life and their family caregivers. Conclusion: this study may contribute to indicate the use of the Theory of Chronic Sorrow and support nursing care in promoting effective strategies and, consequently, improve the comfort of patients and their families in coping with chronic sorrow.

Published: May 2021

Resumo Como as condições de saneamento no Brasil são precárias nas áreas rurais, é importante construir ações territorializadas que valorizem a cultura e fortaleçam o bem viver, baseadas na economia solidária para alcançar soluções sustentáveis. Dardot e Laval veem o comum como um contraponto ao atual contexto político e econômico, em que os indivíduos assumem o papel de protagonistas em suas vidas e gerenciam os “comuns” para a comunidade da qual fazem parte. Partindo dessa abordagem, a Fundação Osvaldo Cruz (Fiocruz), por meio do Observatório dos Territórios Saudáveis e Sustentáveis de Bocaina (OTSS), constituiu pesquisa-ação de saneamento ecológico na Comunidade Caiçara da Praia do Sono, em Paraty, com envolvimento da comunidade durante todo o processo e, por meio de avaliação qualitativa, pôde-se entender a relação da comunidade com o comum. Como os construtores locais foram contratados como mobilizadores sociais, os recursos endógenos foram valorizados. Por meio dessa articulação, buscou-se a atuação conjunta junto aos órgãos públicos para fomentar ações que partissem da própria comunidade e políticas públicas inclusivas que colocam a sociedade como protagonista do processo. A partir do conceito de comum e de entrevistas semiestruturadas, esta pesquisa psicossocial tem como objetivo relatar o desdobramento da economia solidária no comum.

Resumo O objetivo do artigo é apresentar os resultados da pesquisa que versou sobre o impacto do diagnóstico psiquiátrico nos modos de subjetivação do sujeito. Também se propõe a demonstrar a relação do diagnóstico com o processo de medicalização e a repercussão sobre as relações sociais dos indivíduos. Desse modo, foi realizada uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória que se baseou nos dados dos prontuários, bem como em entrevistas semidirigidas realizadas com dez usuários de uma unidade básica de saúde com Estratégia Saúde da Família de uma cidade do interior do Rio Grande do Sul. Os principais achados se expressaram em três eixos: subjetivação pela doença, que traz a ideia de que os sujeitos se reconhecem e reproduzem um comportamento coerente ao diagnóstico imposto; medicalização como controle de si mesmo, que discute a dependência dos sujeitos à medicação; e relações interpessoais após o diagnóstico, que alude à mudança de comportamento que as pessoas mais próximas têm com o indivíduo “doente”.

Renal phosphate reabsorption via the type II sodium/phosphate cotransporter (NaPi-2) in the brush border membrane (BBM) of proximal tubules underlies alterations during aging. The ontogeny of NaPi-2 in kidneys from newborn to 6-wk-old rats was investigated. NaPi-2 protein distribution in the kidneys of neonatal, 13-d-old, 22-d-old, and 6-wk-old rats was immunohistochemically analyzed, and NaPi-2 mRNA distribution in neonatal and 6-wk-old rats was analyzed by in situ hybridization. In kidneys of newborn rats, the appearance of NaPi-2 protein and mRNA coincided with the development of the brush border (assessed by actin staining) on proximal tubular cells. NaPi-2 was not detectable in the nephrogenic zone or in the outgrowing straight sections of proximal tubules, which lack a brush border. In 13-d-old suckling rats, strong NaPi-2 staining was seen in the BBM of convoluted proximal tubules of all nephron generations. In contrast, in 22-d-old weaned rats, NaPi-2 staining in the BBM of superficial nephrons was weaker than that in the BBM of juxtamedullary nephrons. Western blotting demonstrated that the overall abundance of NaPi-2 protein in the BBM of 22-d-old rats was decreased to approximately 70% of that in 13-d-old rats. In kidneys of 6-wk-old rats, the internephron gradient for NaPi-2 abundance in the BBM corresponded to that in adult rats. The data suggest that the NaPi-2 system in the kidney is fully functional and possesses the capacity for regulation as soon as nephrogenesis is completed. The manifestation of NaPi-2 internephron heterogeneity immediately after weaning might be related to the change in dietary inorganic phosphate content.

Chronic renal diseases progress to organ insufficiency, which may require replacement therapy within one to three decades even independently of the type of initial insults. In the majority of cases, the degrees of proteinuria and interstitial leukocyte infiltration and scarring are strictly correlated with the rate of disease progression. This study tests the hypothesis that excess intrarenal protein traffic may cause lymphocyte-dependent interstitial injury that, while not fully controlled by antiproteinuric therapy, can be further inhibited by concomitant immunosuppression. A primarily nonimmune model was used to reproduce progressive renal disease due to a critical loss of nephron mass. Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor limited proteinuria, interstitial inflammation, MHC class II antigen expression, and severe lesions. Combined treatment with ACE inhibitor and a specific antilymphocyte agent, mycophenolate mofetil, dramatically attenuated macrophage and T cell infiltration, MHC-class II over-expression, dendritic cells, and all manifestations of the disease. Evidence of lymphocyte-mediated renal injury in the setting of excess protein traffic provides the basis for combining ACE inhibition and immunosuppression to halt progression of proteinuric kidney disease and minimize the need for dialysis or transplantation.

The objective of this study was to determine whether the glomerular hyperfiltration of pregnancy is maintained even after Caesarean section and, if so, to define the responsible hemodynamics. The dynamics of glomerular filtration were evaluated in 12 healthy women who had just completed an uncomplicated pregnancy and were delivered by Caesarean section. Age-matched but non-gravid female volunteers (n = 22) served as control subjects. GFR in postpartum women was elevated above control values by 41%; 149 ± 10 versus 106 ± 3 ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively (P < 0.001). In contrast, corresponding renal plasma flow was the same in the two groups, such that the postpartum filtration fraction was significantly elevated by 20%. Computation of glomerular intracapillary oncotic pressure (πGC) from knowledge of plasma oncotic pressure and the filtration fraction revealed this quantity to be significantly reduced in postpartum women, 20.6 ± 1.7 versus 26.1 ± 2.0 mmHg in control subjects (P < 0.001). A theoretical analysis of glomerular ultrafiltration suggests that depression of πGC, the force opposing the formation of filtrate, is predominantly or uniquely responsible for the observed postpartum hyperfiltration.

Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been linked to the development of glomerular disease. HCV infection is highly prevalent among intravenous drug users, a population that is also at risk for HIV coinfection. This study reports the clinical-pathologic features and outcome of HCV-associated glomerular disease (HCV-GD) in 14 patients with HIV coinfection. All were intravenous drug users and all but one were African-Americans. Renal presentations included renal insufficiency, microscopic hematuria with active urine sediment, hypertension, and nephrotic syndrome or nephrotic-range proteinuria without hypercholesterolemia. Hypocomplementemia and cryoglobulinemia were present in 46 and 33% of patients, respectively. The predominant renal biopsy findings were membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type 1 or type 3 (Burkholder subtype) in 79% of patients and membranous glomerulopathy with atypical features in 21% (including overlap with collapsing glomerulopathy in one patient). The clinical course was characterized by rapid progression to renal failure requiring dialysis. The overall morbidity and mortality were high with median time of 5.8 mo to dialysis or death. Although most patients died in renal failure, cause of death was primarily attributable to long-term immunosuppression and advanced AIDS. Patients with AIDS had shorter survival than those without (median survival time of 6.1 mo versus 45.9 mo, log-rank test P = 0.02). Only two patients were alive with stable renal function at follow-up of 28.5 mo. In patients with HCV-GD, coinfection with HIV leads to an aggressive form of renal disease that can be easily confused with HIV-associated nephropathy. Although hypocomplementemia, cryoglobulinemia, and more prominent hypertension and microscopic hematuria may provide clues to the presence of HCV-GD, renal biopsy is essential to differentiate HCV-GD from HIV-associated nephropathy.

It has been reported previously that one-third of protocol renal biopsies in asymptomatic, biochemically stable renal transplant recipients in the first 6 mo show unsuspected subclinical graft rejection (both infiltrate and tubulitis) and that subclinical rejection is a risk factor for chronic renal dysfunction. This study was performed to determine whether differences in phenotype or activation status of graft-infiltrating cells underlie these different manifestations of acute rejection. Biopsies with normal histology (n = 10), subclinical rejection (n = 13), and clinical rejection (n = 9) were studied using immunohistochemistry and computerized image analysis. Subclinical and clinical rejections had similar histologic Banff scores. Univariate analysis showed a trend for a higher infiltration with CD8+ (P = 0.053) and CD68+ (P = 0.06) cells in clinical rejection. Of the activation markers studied (CD25, perforin, tumor necrosis factor-α), only allograft inflammatory factor-1 +-activated macrophages were significantly (P = 0.014) increased in the infiltrate of clinical rejection biopsies. These data suggest that activated macrophages or their products are responsible for acute renal dysfunction associated with clinical rejection episodes.

Unixenus Jones, 1944 (Polyxenidae) is the dominant genus of penicillate millipedes found throughout mainland Australia. Herein, a new species, Unixenus mossmanus sp. nov., is described from coastal forest near Mossman. The new species is similar to U. karajinensis, sharing the same sensilla pattern on antennal article VI and the same arrangement of leg setae. Unixenus mossmanus sp. nov. differs by having only 3 ornamental trichomes c per side (v. 5-9), 2 pairs coxal glands in the male (v. 6 pairs), and a slender claw (v. robust). These characteristics differ from those of U. karajinensis, which has 5–9 ornamental trichomes c; 6 pairs coxal glands in male; and a robust claw structure. 18S sequence of Unixenus mossmanus sp. nov. is included.
Eastern African women writers' 'national epics': A new force in creative fiction?
Authors: Gagiano A
Published: May 2021

In this article, I bring five recent, substantial novels by Eastern African women writers together for the first time in a study regarding the texts as modern 'national epics', analysing some of their shared characteristics in foregrounding local participation in the making of East African ethno-national histories. I trace the novelists' implicit, open-eyed moral evaluation of their leaders and peoples, neither sentimentalising nor deriding the often terrible struggles of their peoples against both inside and outside powers that seek to keep them in subjugation. The texts eschew traditional heroic portrayal of single, male leaders in national epics and allow us to grasp diverse, communal contributions to the growth of nationhood, while giving larger, often central roles to women. The texts earn the epithet 'epic' by authoritatively demonstrating that their embodied, localised histories matter, testifying to the wide human spectrum of the peoples they portray; as novelistic acts they are impressive and moving bids for recognition. As post-colonial endeavours, the texts effectively decentre colonial interventions. While the chosen novels are shown to be relatable, their individual power of portrayal and aesthetic achievements are scrupulously differentiated.
