Describing and Controlling Multivariate Nonlinear Dynamics: A Boolean Network Approach
Authors: Yang Xiao , Ram Nilam , Molenaar Peter , Cole Pamela
Published: August 2020

We introduce the Boolean network method, a discrete-time dynamical system method, to model the nonlinear dynamics in multivariate systems and to control the system moving to desired state(s). We introduce this method in three steps: (1) inference of the temporal relations between multiple binary variables as Boolean functions, (2) extraction of attractors based on the inferred dynamics and assignment of desirability for each attractor, and (3) design of network control to direct a psychological system toward a desired attractor by identifying how the Boolean network needs to be updated.To demonstrate how the Boolean network can describe and prescribe control for emotion regulation dynamics, we applied this method to data from a study of how children regulate their anger during a frustrating task using bidding and/or distraction (N = 120, T = 480 seconds). Network control strategies were designed to move the child into attractors where anger is OFF. The sample shows heterogeneous emotion regulation dynamics across children in 22 distinct Boolean networks, and heterogeneous control strategies regarding which behavior to perturb and how to perturb it. The Boolean network method provides a novel method to describe nonlinear dynamics in multivariate psychological systems and a control method to guide nonlinear psychological systems toward desired goals.

Promoting Open Science Practices: What Can (Should) Graduate Programs Do?
Authors: Hui Bronson , Huntley Elizabeth
Published: August 2020

The training that applied linguists receive in graduate school can have a long-lasting impact on their career and research practices. Collectively, the field must therefore consider how to best educate upcoming generations of researchers to see Open Science practices as the standard rather than as the exception. In this chapter, we describe what we are eager to see in graduate programs that not only advocate for Open Science, but also proactively equip students with knowledge and skill sets to embrace the future research environment. We propose a more systematic integration of Open Science into the training of research methods, both within individual courses and across the program at large. We conclude by pointing readers to a short survey quiz for graduate students and program directors to self-assess their readiness to welcome an Open Science future in applied linguistics.
The pathway from distrusting Western actors to non-compliance with public health guidance during the COVID-19 crisis in Romania
Authors: Achimescu Vlad , Sultanescu Dan , Sultanescu Dana
Published: August 2020

Global crises provide a fertile environment for the proliferation of disinformation, rumors, and conspiracy narratives. We investigate people's perceptions and beliefs related to COVID-19 in Romania, during the lockdown period (April 2020) and during the state of alert period (July 2020), by fielding two surveys with different modes of collection (CATI and web). Building on measures tested in other countries, we identify the public’s vulnerability to conspiracy narratives and its willingness to comply with public health guidance. Using Structural Equation Modeling, we check if individuals exhibiting pro-Russian or anti-Western attitudes believe more strongly in COVID-19 conspiracy narratives compared to the rest of the population. Then, we check if those believing conspiracy narratives are less susceptible to comply with public health recommendations.We find in both surveys that holding conspiracy beliefs is a mediator between distrusting Western actors and noncompliance with COVID-19 guidelines. Thus, pro-Russian and anti-EU, U.S. and NATO attitudes are linked to stronger conspiracy beliefs, which relate to lower levels of concern and knowledge regarding the virus, which in turn can reduce compliance with guidelines. This suggests that openness to anti-Western narratives may have behavioral consequences. These findings highlight the potential sources of unsafe behaviors during the pandemic and can inform official communication strategies meant to counter both disinformation and non-compliance with public health policies.
Reassess - Realign - Reimagine: A Guide for Mentors Pivoting to Remote Research Mentoring
Authors: Pfund Christine , Branchaw Janet L. , McDaniels Melissa , Byars-Winston Angela , Lee Steve , Birren Bruce
Published: August 2020

Maintaining your research team’s productivity during the COVID-19 era can be a challenge. Developing new strategies to mentor your research trainees in remote work environments will not only support research productivity, but also help to keep your mentees’ academic and research careers on track. We describe a three-step process grounded in reflective practice that research mentors and mentees can use together to reassess, realign and reimagine their mentoring relationships to enhance their effectiveness, both in the current circumstances and for the future. Drawing on evidence-based approaches, a series of questions for mentees around documented mentoring competencies provide structure for remote mentoring plans. Special consideration is given to how these plans must address the psychosocial needs and diverse backgrounds of mentors and mentees in the unique conditions that require remote interactions.
Conceptual Marketing in the Age of Interactive Consumer
Authors: Kuzmanović Vladan
Published: August 2020

Marketing is a system, a value, a complex. Marketing is a behavioral, interpersonal, and cultural concept. The value of total marketing is the value of the exchange of signs, labels, recognition, identity, trends, time and comfort. Contextual markets are complexes that are remarketed or resold in different iterative contexts, and under different circumstances. Marketing brings to the market a holistic system, the whole complex not just a part or a process. Conceptual marketing deals with holistic entities. A context product is a marketing entity. The buyer also has the need for market reminiscences. The product complex includes the basic, extended, and external product. The second part of paper debate my new Partnership model. The project is an intermediation because it is the relationship between the equilibrated actors who are in the process of optimizing their positions. However, individuals are actors of a whole personality, one partner has a privileged position but in the long term the equilibrium is sustainable.

Authors: Kini Sandesh , Y Ramesh Bhat , Thunga Chennakeshava , Shashidhara Sowmya , Anand Akshatha
Published: August 2020

Introduction: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an auto immune disorder affecting mainly adolescent females and young women of reproductive age. The disease is characterised by widespread inflammation of blood vessels and connective tissues due to the presence of anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA). There are limited number of studies from South India on paediatric lupus. Our objectives were to study the clinical and immunological features of childhood SLE along with treatment modalities and its outcome at the end of one year follow up. The correlation between various auto-antibodies and systemic involvement was also assessed.

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study carried out in paediatric unit at a tertiary care centre in South India. Data was obtained through patient’s medical records. From April 2003 to April 2019, 32 children were diagnosed to have SLE as per the American college of Rheumatology 1997 criteria.

Results: The study population included 32 children fulfilling the criteria. Female to male ratio was 4.3:1. The mean age at diagnosis was 11.52 years. The most common clinical manifestations were renal (87.5%) followed by haematological (81.3%), musculoskeletal (59.4%), mucocutaneous (53.1%) and nervous system (31.3%) involvement. All patients were positive for anti-nuclear antibodies. Anti-double stranded DNA (78.1%) was the most common auto-antibody profile followed by anti-ribosomal p protein (37.5%) and anti-nucleosome antibody (37.5%). During the follow up, 13 (40.6%) children attained complete remission, 10 (31.2%) went into partial remission and nine (28.1%) had persisting active disease.

Conclusion: The clinical spectrum and outcome of paediatric SLE depends upon the age of presentation and number of organ systems involved at the time of diagnosis. Our study throws light on various aspects of SLE in children from developing countries like India.
Projeto neoliberal e justiça de transição: as consequências de suas intersecções para a concretude democrática brasileira
Authors: Wanderley Caliman Daniel
Published: August 2020

O presente trabalho analisa o processo de transição da forma de Estado ditatorial, implantada durante o regime cívico-militar no Brasil (1964-1985), para a forma de um Estado Democrático de Direito embasado pelo princípio dos direitos humanos. Ele o faz através da ótica da Justiça de Transição, buscando compreender as nuances de seu uso no Brasil e sua real capacidade de intervenção no plano político-institucional. Percebendo a transversalidade da questão de disputa por hegemonia e suas consequências, como a organização de blocos no poder para implementação de projetos político-econômicos, o artigo trata de identificar o papel do neoliberalismo nesse processo transicional, da ditadura para a democracia, identificando para tal, suas perspectivas teóricas acerca da democracia, dos direitos e das atribuições do Estado. Identifica-se com esse esforço, que as intersecções entre neoliberalismo e Justiça de Transição terminam por potencializar uma “excepcionalidade continuada” no Estado brasileiro, fazendo com que se mantenham, ainda que sob a forma de Estado Democrático de Direito, estruturas antidemocráticas.

Published: August 2020

As instituições de Educação Infantil de caráter governamental se constituem valores de uso, de consumo coletivo,indispensáveis ao desenvolvimento integral da criança, ao incremento econômico e social e à reprodução da força de trabalho. Contudo, os estudos evidenciam um paradoxo entre o avanço na legislação que garante a qualidade na Educação Infantil como direito de todos e a efetivação desse direito. Constata-se sua precarização, principalmente pelo baixo padrão de qualidade dos serviços prestados por estas instituições. Para enfrentar essa problemática, o governo federal, provedor de políticas educacionais, publicou os documentos “Parâmetros Nacionais de Qualidade para a Educação Infantil (2006) ” e os Indicadores da Qualidade na Educação Infantil (2009) ”que tratam da avaliação e do monitoramento para melhoria real da qualidade da educação infantil. Diante do exposto, este estudo tem como objetivo analisar se esses documentos têm se constituído instrumentos efetivos para a adoção das medidas que visem à melhoria da qualidade da Educação Infantil no âmbito das   instituições de Educação Infantil da rede municipal de Recife-PE. A partir das análises das representações sociais dos/as gestores/as e dos/as profissionais que atuam na rede de Educação Infantil, evidenciou-se entraves que vão além do não cumprimento da implementação do que propõem esses documentos.

Authors: Seid Anwar , Seid Anwar , Yasin Ali Mohammed , Feqi Endris
Published: August 2020

The experiment was conducted with the objective of to evaluate the comparative feeding value of improved
forages as a replacement of concentrate mix with its economic benefits on feed intake, body weight gain
and carcass parameters of Afar goats. Twenty-five yearling intact male Afar goats with initial mean body
weight of 15.05±1.25 (mean ± SD) were used for the experiment in randomized complete block design. The
experimental animals were grouped in to five blocks of five animals based on their initial body weight and
each animal within each block was randomly assigned to one of the five treatment diets. Treatments were
grazing (Ad libitum) + 100% concentrate mix (wheat bran and noug seed cake) (T1), grazing (Ad libitum)
+ 100 % mixed forage (Rhodes and cowpea) (T2), grazing (Ad libitum) + 50 % mixed forage (Rhodes and
cowpea) + 50% concentrate mix (T3), grazing (Ad libitum) + 25 % mixed forage (Rhodes and cowpea) +
75% concentrate mix (T4), and grazing (Ad libitum) + 75 % mixed forage (Rhodes and cowpea) + 25%
concentrate mix (T5). The experiment was consisted of feeding trial followed by carcass evaluation. The
supplement given at the rate of 300gDM/head/day. Water and mineralized salt block were available free of
choice. The concentrate mix was 2:1 (wheat bran and Noug seed cake. The CP content of the NSC (Noug
seed cake), WB (wheat bran), cowpea and Rhodes grass were 31.3, 17.4, 16.9 and 8.6 %, respectively.
Organic matter and basal intake were not significant difference (P>0.05) among the treatments, while intake
of supplement was slightly higher (P<0.05) for T1, T4, T3, than T5 and T2 respectively. Average daily gain
in was higher 110g/d (T4). Hot carcass weight was slightly higher (P<0.05) for T4 10.82 kg. The use of sole
cowpea and Rhodes grass mix instead of concentrate mix was reduces feed cost and increase net return.
Mixture of cowpea and Rhodes grass as sole supplement is relatively comparable to the supplementary value
of concentrate mixture to improve Afar goat performance but forage mix was required higher (p<0.05) feed
to bring the same weight to other concentrate contained treatment diets.

Published: August 2020

Purpose: In spite of mounting evidence indicating that concentric and eccentric knee extensor muscle
contractions might have special nervous system control strategies, the differentiation of brain frequencies
between concentric and eccentric movements and how the motor cortex programs this contraction has been
less studied. In this study, the brain and muscle activation differences during maximum concentric and
eccentric contractions were compared.
Methods: Nine healthy volunteers performed 20 maximum eccentric and 20 maximum concentric knee
extensor contractions. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals from sensorimotor-related cortical areas were
recorded simultaneous with the electromyography (EMG) of the knee extensor muscles. In the spectral
analysis the performance related power values were calculated for Theta (4-7 Hz) and Alpha (7-12 Hz).
Results: The time-domain results revealed, longer time and greater cortical activity is required for the
preparation of an eccentric contraction. For the eccentric task, the cortical activity was greater, but the EMG
was lower in comparison to the concentric task values. Statistical analysis showed significant higher and
lower Theta and Alpha power in both types of contractions compared to the resting state, respectively.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that increased Theta power is associated with task complexity and
focused attention and decreased Alpha power values with increased information processing in the
somatosensory cortex.

Published: August 2020

Injury to the craniomaxillofacial (CMF) area has major implications for mortality and morbidity depending
on many factors that influence the level of treatment. In warzones, the extent of CMF injuries is amplified
mainly due to the damage caused by bomb blasts. This study presents CMF injury as the result of war
incidents to highlight the differences in injury type as well as the impact that an austere environment has on
treatment. The author has unique insight and experience of treating CMF injuries in Misrata, Libya, where
there is ongoing civil conflict. Surgeons in Libyan hospitals require intensive training intervention to
effectively manage gunshot injuries, blast injuries and disasters and while these cases represent an austere
environment, conclusions can be drawn for recent incidents involving terrorism. This study presents an
analysis of injury patterns of patients presenting with CMF trauma during the Misrata battle of the Libyan
conflict in 2011.
Cognitive Decline and Treatment Strategies in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Authors: Koutsouraki Effrosyni , Koutsouraki Effrosyni
Published: August 2020

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune disease of the Central Nervous System (CNS), mainly appeared
in young adults, characterized by neuroinflammation, demyelination, neurodegeneration and remyelination
and with a variety of CNS-related symptoms. The prevalence of cognitive decline in MS patients has been
reported to range widely, from 13% to 72%, occurring in all stages of the disease, and can lead to mental
disability, social impairment, and an impoverished quality of life. The pathogenetic mechanism of the
cognitive decline in MS has yet to be revealed, and, thus, we are still unable to predict which patients are
more likely to manifest such a decline and at what stage of the disease. Clinical factors, including the type
and the course of the disease, but also fatigue and emotional disturbances, can impact the degree of MSrelated cognitive impairment. It has been reported that almost 40% of the MS patients demonstrate a
significant deficit in recognizing and recalling verbal and visual memories, either at the onset of the disease
or at its later stages, whereas short-term memory remains almost intact. Many patients also demonstrate
deficits in complex attention, a slower efficiency in information processing, a declined ability of problemsolving, planning, and prioritization tasks or even visual agnosia and aphasia. Most of the MS-specific
disease-modifying treatments seem to reduce the rate of MS attacks and slower the progression; however,
their impact on cognitive impairment remains unclear. We propose that cognitive function evaluations
should be incorporated in the regular assessment and monitoring of MS patients since they seem to be well
correlated with the progression of the disease. Even if the effect of the neuropsychological batteries used
for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes still remains very much limited, especially due to the validation and
standardization issues, specific cognitive functions treatment strategies should be implemented in the
therapeutic scheme of MS patients.
Humiliation and Injustice: Most Frequent and Most Hurting Stressors in Psychosomatic Patients
Authors: Linden Michael , Linden Michael , Ida Bülau Natalie , Kessemeier Franziska , Kobelt Axel , Bassler Markus
Published: August 2020

Background: Injustice and humiliation are negative life events which can raise strong emotions, including
shame, feelings of inferiority and helplessness, embitterment, anger, vindictive feelings and even aggressive
rumination and acting out. This can severely impair not only the affected person but also her or his
environment. Aim of this study was to investigate the frequency and impact of humiliation and injustice in
psychiatric- psychosomatic patients.
Methods: In a semi-structured interview, which followed the outlines of the WHO International
Classification of Functioning Disability and Health (ICF), 102 inpatients from a department of behavioural
medicine were asked about burdens in life. Additionally, patients filled in the “ICD-10 Symptom Rating”,
the “ICF AT 50-Psych”, the “Beck Depression Inventory” and the “HEALTH-49”.
Results: The experience of humiliation was rated as strong or very strong by 70.6% of the patients, being
the most frequent burden, followed by persistent stress (59.9%), and injustice (56.8%). Comparisons
between patients who complained about injustice alone, humiliation alone, injustice and humiliation
combined, and neither injustice or humiliation show that experiences of humiliation and injustice similarly
and significantly impair psychological well-being.
Conclusion: Humiliation and injustice are most frequent and impairing negative life events in psychiatricpsychosomatic patients. They need proper recognition and treatment.
Testing children’s knowledge of generic null pronouns
Authors: Bertolino Karina
Published: August 2020

In this paper, I discuss an experiment conducted with children acquiring Brazilian Portuguese (BP) as their native language. The experiment was designed to test if Brazilian children understand that the null subject in impersonal structures has the generic reading in BP instead of the referential one. The experiment consisted of a Truth-Value Judgement Task (TVJT). The results show that children as young as 4 years of age understand the null subject in impersonals as generic. Based on a study showing that a 2-year-old child acquiring Estonian already produces null impersonals (TORN-LEESIK; VIJA, 2012), it is possible that children acquiring BP correctly assign the generic reading to a null pronoun in impersonal constructions before the age of 4. I propose that this knowledge could be tested in children younger than 4 using the Intermodal Preferential-Looking (IPL) paradigm (GOLINKOFF et al.,1987; NAIGLES; TOVAR, 2012), a method more suitable than the TVJT to test children that are very young.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------TESTANDO O CONHECIMENTO DE CRIANÇAS SOBRE PRONOMES GENÉRICOS NULONeste artigo, discuto um experimento conduzido com crianças adquirindo o português brasileiro (PB) como língua materna. O objetivo do experimento era testar se crianças brasileiras entendem que o sujeito nulo em estruturas impessoais tem uma leitura genérica no PB, em vez de referencial. O experimento consistiu em uma Tarefa de Julgamento de Valor de Verdade (TJVV). Os resultados mostram que crianças com 4 anos de idade já interpretam o pronome nulo em impessoais como genérico. Baseado em um estudo que mostra que uma criança de dois anos adquirindo o estoniano já produz sujeitos nulos impessoais, é possível supor que crianças adquirindo o PB atribuam corretamente a leitura genérica ao pronome nulo de impessoais antes dos 4 anos. Proponho que esse conhecimento possa ser testado em crianças antes dessa idade usando o Paradigma do Olhar Preferencial, um método mais adequado do que a TJVV para testar crianças muito novas---Original em inglês.   TESTANDO O CONHECIMENTO DE CRIANÇAS SOBRE PRONOMES GENÉRICOS NULO

Analytical review of approaches for tonality recognition of Russian text data
Authors: Dvoynikova Anastasiya , Karpov Alexey
Published: August 2020

Introduction: In recent years, sentiment analysis has found practical application in many areas, such as evaluating the quality of products and services based on customers’ online reviews, analyzing negative emotions in messages, forecasting stock markets or political situations based on news data. In this regard, a large number of systems and methods for Russian text sentiment analysis are being developed. Purpose: A detailed review of approaches, and comparative analysis of available databases in the field of Russian text sentimental analysis. Results: Our analytical review of the approaches to Russian text data sentiment analysis has shown that there are a large number of ways for preprocessing, vectorization and machine classification of the text data. Studying the available databases shows that the Russian text sentimental analysis is less developed than that for other major world languages. Studying the existing software systems for Russian text analysis reveals their low accuracy compared to English, which can be caused by the sophisticated structure of Russian. Discussion: In our further research, we plan to implement sentiment analysis of spoken speech using audio data. To do this, we will need to obtain a spelling transcription of speech for each speaker.
Highly reliable authentication based on handwritten passwords using hybrid neural networks with protection of biometric templates from being compromised
Authors: Sulavko Alexey
Published: August 2020

Introduction: Biometrics-to-code converters based on neural networks are the ideological basis for a series of GOST R 52633 standards (unparalleled anywhere in the world) and can be used in the development of highly reliable biometric authentication and electronic signature with biometric activation. Purpose: Developing a model of a biometrics-to-code converter for highly reliable biometric authentication by handwritten passwords with high resistance to attacks on knowledge extraction. Results: We demonstrated the vulnerability of neural networks which makes it possible to perform quick directed enumeration of competing examples in order to compromise a biometric pattern and the personal key of its owner. We described a method of effective protection against this attack, and proposed a hybrid model for a biometrics-to-code converter based on a new type of hybrid neural networks, which does not compromise the biometric standard and the user’s key (password), being resistant to such attacks. The high reliability and effectiveness of the proposed model has been experimentally confirmed in handwritten password verification. The reliability indicators for generating a key from a handwritten password were: FRR = 11.5%, FAR = 0.0009% with a key length of 1024 bits (taking into account the presented fakes of a handwritten pattern). Practical relevance: The results can be used in information security applications or electronic document management.

The Accuracy Trap: The Values and Meaning of Algorithmic Mapping, from Mineral Extraction to Climate Change
Authors: Rankin William
Published: August 2020

For specialists and non-specialists alike, maps are one of the central ways that the environment becomes visible and comprehensible. Since the 1960s, both the practice and the values of environmental mapping have been transformed by new algorithmic methods for turning point-by-point measurements into a smooth cartographic image, especially when visualising the invisible geographies of pollution, climate change, and underground resources. The resulting maps are now ubiquitous. This article argues that algorithmic methods - especially those created by a small group of French mining engineers and installed widely in software by the 1990s - shifted the values and meaning of environmental mapping away from a traditional concern with qualitative
realism
to a new emphasis on quantitative
accuracy
. This was a shift not just in the goals of mapping but in the kind of environment that maps ultimately construct. The prioritisation of accuracy should therefore not be seen as a straightforward improvement, as its associated values raise difficult conceptual problems, both historical and historiographic, about scale, expertise and the role of human judgement in the creation of environmental fact. Historicising the techniques and meanings of mapping is especially important as environmental historians consider new geospatial methods - including algorithmic methods - in their own work.
A STUDY TO DETERMINE THE INCREASING DENGUE INCIDENCE IN BIHAR REGION: AN OBSERVATIONAL STUDY.
Authors: Kumar Manoj , Kumar Vivek , Sahni Gopal Shankar
Published: August 2020

Introduction: Dengue is one of the most serious mosquitos borne viral infection mainly affecting tropical and subtropical countries of the world. In absence of specific treatment and vaccine for dengue fever (DF); vector control is the only method by which spread of dengue can be prevented. The present study was conducted to determine the increasing dengue incidence in Bihar region.

Material and Method: This study was done to report the sero prevalence of Dengue virus infection at Bihar, North India. The laboratory records of clinically suspected Dengue patients from jan 2018 to Nov 2018  were analyzed retrospectively for demographic features, seasonal variations, and results of IgM and IgG anti dengue antibodies tested by Dengue IGM capture enzyme linked immune sorbent assay (MAC ELISA).

Results: A total of 1035 serum samples were analyzed. Out of which 209 samples (20.19%) were found positive for dengue virus infection. Maximum positive cases were seen in 2019 (53.11%). Seasonal trend showed that infection started appearing in august, peaked in October and slowly tapered by December.

Conclusion: The most affected age group was 11 to 15 years of age, (57.3%) followed by 6 to10 year’s group (27.3 %)and least effective age group was 0 to 5 year (15.4%), majority of cases were found to be of secondary dengue virus infection (93.8%). Male to female ratio was 2:1.The present outbreak thus emphasizes the need for continuous sero epidemiological surveillance for the timely formulation and implementation of effective dengue control programme.

Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains one of the major health problems in India. The recent introduction of Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (CBNAAT) also known as Gene Xpert MTB/ RIF assay has significantly transformed the diagnostics of TB. The present study aimed diagnostic usefulness of CBNAAT for diagnosing pediatric tuberculosis in our hospital setting.

Material and Methods: This study was carried out at department of Pediatric, Skmch Bihar India from oct 2018 to Nov 2019. Total 447 patients showing symptoms and signs of suspected localized and/or disseminated tuberculosis or having history of close contact with diagnosed tuberculosis patients admitted in our hospital during the study period were included in this study. Samples (pulmonary and extrapulmonary) were collected from the subjects and put to test for CBNAAT, Zeihl-Neelsen (ZN) smear and culture.

Results: Among the pulmonary samples, CBNAAT detected MTB in 23 of the 108 sputum/induced sputum samples (21.29%), 89 of the 248 gastric lavage/aspirate samples (35.88%) and 0 of the 5 bronchoalveolar lavage samples (0%). Among the extrapulmonary samples, CBNAAT detected MTB in 9 of the 63 CSF samples (14.28%), 1 of the 13 pleural fluid samples (7.69%), 0 of the 6 ascitic fluid samples (0%) and 3 of the 4 lymph node aspirate samples obtained by FNAC(75%). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CBNAAT in reference to culture are 90.15%, 98.09%, 95.2%and 95.2%respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of CBNAAT in reference to ZN smear are 100%, 91.47%, 76% and 100% respectively.

Conclusion: CBNAAT assay is a rapid test which identifies both the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) (with high sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value) and rifampicin resistance associated with mutation of rpoB gene in a single test. It also helps to avoid injudicious use of anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Aim: to assess the accuracy of clinical pallor in pediatric patients diagnosed of anemia.

Material and Methods: The present prospective observational study was conducted in the Department of Pediatrics Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, Darbhanga, Bihar, India from August 2019 to March 2020 among 200 anemic children attained the age between 6 months to 5 years. Blood was drawn by venepuncture and hemoglobin estimation was done by cyanmethemoglobin method. Anemia was diagnosed when hemoglobin was less than 11g/dl.

Results: anemia is less common among infants aged below 12 months. The moderate anemia was best detected by using palm pallor or pallor of the nail beds (sensitivity 92-95%), while conjunctival pallor was least useful (sensitivity 82%).  

Conclusion: This study demonstrates that clinical criteria can be used to identify children with anemia of moderate degree who need treatment with iron. Moderate anemia is associated with morbidity that may progress to severe anemia and death unless prevented by treatment with iron.

O Brasil detém a maior diversidade biológica do mundo com enorme potencial para a pesquisa, desenvolvimento e inovação de Fitomedicamentos. Esta biodiversidade está distribuída em seis grandes biomas: Pampa, Mata Atlântica, Floresta Amazônica, Pantanal, Caatinga e Cerrado. Apesar desta enorme riqueza, temos poucos produtos desenvolvidos a partir dos derivados das plantas nativas e plantas exóticas adaptadas.

Sob o ponto de vista de PD&I, temos todas as condições objetivas para explorar de forma racional nossa flora, gerando produtos farmacêuticos de alto valor agregado para disponibilizar ao SUS, trazendo opções para prevenir, remediar, controlar ou curar várias doenças, incluindo as que são endêmicas e negligenciadas.        

A comunidade acadêmica no Brasil representa um importante papel no cenário de PD&I de novos Fitomedicamentos estáveis, seguros e de qualidade. Atualmente, temos a nossa disposição ferramentas e métodos modernos da Tecnologia Farmacêutica.

Este número temático está relacionado ao desenvolvimento tecnológico e inovação de Fitomedicamentos que inclui tópicos que compreendem a economia verde; a cadeia produtiva e a gestão de inovação; estudos químicos e avaliação biológica; biotecnologia das proteases oriundas de plantas; desenvolvimento e validação de métodos analíticos para a quantificação de marcadores químicos; acesso aos medicamentos derivados da Cannabis e Tecnologia Fitofarmacêutica.

Para finalizar, destacamos a importância da inovação no sentido de fomentar a interação entre as universidades e as empresas, valorizando assim, o conhecimento tradicional e os arranjos produtivos locais, criando um sólido modelo de desenvolvimento tecnológico Fitofarmacêutico.

A discussão sobre o acesso aos medicamentos derivados da Cannabis, à luz da Inovação em Saúde no Brasil se enquadra como um estudo de caso, construído através de molduras narrativas. A narrativa sobre a Inovação em Saúde descreve conceitos teóricos de uma vertente evolucionária da economia e a elaboração de um Sistema Nacional de Inovação em Saúde na perspectiva do Complexo Econômico Industrial da Saúde. A Pesquisa do uso Medicinal da Cannabis revela a contribuição da ciência abrindo caminho para a inovação. Um histórico sobre a Judicialização e Regulação como via de acesso aos medicamentos no Brasil, demonstra que as decisões judiciais podem comprometer o orçamento para a realização das políticas de saúde pública. Registra ainda a publicação, em 2019, da RDC 327 da Anvisa, que dispõe sobre a fabricação e importação de produtos da Cannabis no Brasil, sem resolver o acesso a tais medicamentos. Uma discussão apresentada sob um novo prisma sinaliza as Parcerias de Desenvolvimento Produtivo (PDPs) como uma alternativa para a produção nacional dos medicamentos da Cannabis ampliando o acesso aos mesmos. Este estudo conclui que novas medidas regulatórias serão necessárias, além do reconhecimento dos medicamentos da Cannabis como estratégicos para o Sistema Único de Saúde.

O texto em tela reúne algumas discussões preliminares de uma pesquisa de campo desenvolvida na perspectiva de uma abordagem qualitativa com policiais que ingressaram na Polícia Militar do Estado do Amapá desde o ano de 1990 como soldados e teve como objetivo analisar o processo de formação do policial militar no Estado do Amapá e sua repercussão na atuação profissional de não violação dos direitos humanos em face aos resultados da implantação da disciplina correlata no seu curso de formação. Nessa perspectiva, o trabalho faz uma análise retrospectiva sobre a questão dos direitos humanos desde os seus primórdios até a Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos pela Organização das Nações Unidas em 1948. Além disso, procura refletir sobre o processo autoritário vivido no Brasil com a ditadura militar e discorre sobre a herança deixada por esse período, principalmente nas instituições policiais, remetendo ao entendimento de que o processo de consolidação democrática passa fundamentalmente pela educação, elemento introduzido na formação dos profissionais da segurança pública com a criação da Secretaria Nacional de Segurança Pública – SENASP e o lançamento da Bases Curriculares para a Formação dos Profissionais da Área de Segurança do Cidadão, estabelecendo um debate com autores como Tosi (2005), Viola (2010), Sousa (2012), Balestreri (1998), Sandes (2012), entre outros, no qual esta produção se propõe a discutir os reflexos das políticas de educação em direitos humanos e os principais entraves na sua entronização na formação dos policiais do Estado do Amapá.
Gestão democrática na educação brasileira e a capacitação através do planejamento participativo
Authors: Borsoi Priscila Segura
Published: August 2020

Através deste artigo busco uma reflexão sobre a cultura democrática no cotidiano escolar, trabalhando o tecido de significações em função das quais os homens interpretam suas experiências e guiam suas ações, nos termos de Haesbaert 2012. Como também, na construção de identidades e territórios que podemos trilhar buscando a melhoria das relações socio moral do ambiente escolar e consequente aprendizagem. Dado os seguidos índices de má qualidade da Educação brasileira e das relações que permeiam o ambiente escolar além do descrédito por parte da sociedade em reverter este quadro, procuro demonstrar como o planejamento participativo pode capacitar a comunidade escolar e contribuir para minimizar este panorama, discutindo a democracia deliberativa por Marques 2012 e alguns conceitos do planejamento participativo proposto por Vasconcelos 2002 e Gandin 2001. Desta forma, trago para o debate, a importância de se conhecer, contemplar, questionar as experiências transdisciplinares e promotoras de autonomia, pautadas na gestão democrática, que vêm sendo desenvolvidas na educação como parte do esforço da sociedade em encontrar seus caminhos de transformação, dado que a prática democrática é muito pouco vivenciada no cotidiano escolar brasileiro, tanto em escolas públicas quanto privadas, conforme estudo do GEPEM 2016.
