As afrodescendências no trovadorismo ibérico
Authors: Silva José Nogueira da , Santos Adriana Cavalcantidos
Published: August 2022

A partir de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, com embasamento teórico decolonial, busca-se compreender, neste artigo, o surgimento do Trovadorismo na Europa, especificamente na Península Ibérica, a partir de relações culturais intercontinentais, com ênfase nos árabes africanos, apesar de as manifestações artísticas à época terem ignorado a presença das africanidades que contribuíram para a oralidade poética. Por isso, tem-se como objetivo verificar a presença das afrodescendências no trovadorismo ibérico. A compreensão do trovadorismo é definida historicamente em quatro teorias: a médio-latinista, a litúrgica, a folclórica e a arábica (LAPA, 1973; SPINA, 1972). Em linhas gerais, as reflexões de Canclini (2000), Glissant (2005) e Moore (2012), na análise do texto, revelam os cruzamentos culturais, denominados clássico, popular e massivo, levando em conta que tais definições não são blocos rigidamente separados, mas fronteiras entre países com geografia e costumes distintos em seus territórios. Contudo, em determinados momentos, compartilham das mesmas flores, apesar de dividi-las em suas fronteiras, e de um racismo epistemológico que negou as afrodescendências em suas manifestações.

Published: August 2022

As Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para a Educação das Relações Étnico-Raciais e para o Ensino de História e Cultura Afro-Brasileira e Africana instituem que os projetos pedagógicos das Licenciaturas devem contemplar a educação das relações étnico-raciais. Para verificar quais as abordagens encontradas nesse tipo de documento, foram pesquisados 14 Projetos Político-Pedagógicos de cursos públicos paulistas de Licenciatura em Biologia. A partir de uma análise de conteúdo, verificou-se que as Diretrizes foram explicitamente mencionadas em seis dos Projetos e que o posicionamento crítico associado ao uso de conhecimentos biológicos diante da discriminação racial foi colocado como competência do egresso em cinco deles. Observou-se, também, uma variedade de conteúdos associados à educação das relações étnico-raciais, mas que tendem a estar apenas em disciplinas das áreas pedagógica e/ou de ciências humanas, marginalizando as biológico-específicas.

Authors: Sebastiá-Alcaraz Rafael , García-Rubio Juan
Published: August 2022

La coordinación entre el profesorado universitario es un aspecto clave para la mejora en la formación inicial que se les ofrece a los futuros docentes de educación secundaria en España. En la investigación que se presenta, se analizan los contenidos estudiados en la especialidad de Ciencias Sociales, pero principalmente las actividades que se implementan en las distintas materias. Se ha seguido una metodología mixta -cuantitativa, cualitativa-, con un análisis centrado en la percepción del alumnado de dos universidades –Universidad de Alicante y Universidad de Valencia- durante el curso 2020-2021, recogidas a través de cuestionarios con preguntas cerradas y abiertas, que permitían el relato de los participantes. Los resultados obtenidos muestran la repetición de contenidos y de actividades entre las distintas materias del Máster, así como el predominio de la cantidad sobre la calidad de estas últimas, percibiéndose un cambio significativo hacia su realización de forma cooperativa en pequeño grupo.
Do estar à deriva ao aquilombamento: territorialidade e produção de saberes de coletivos negros da UFRJ
Authors: Rizzo Tamiris Pereira , Fonseca Alexandre Brasil Carvalho da
Published: August 2022

A partir da intervenção de coletivos negros, analisa-se, neste artigo, a dinâmica de constituição de lugares da negritude e da conformação de uma territorialidade negra como matriz formadora na Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ). Por meio desses lugares da negritude, três movimentos que fazem os sujeitos negros são contemplados: partem de um estar à deriva, aterram-se junto ao quilombo e, por fim, acomodam as existências e produzem saberes. Essa matriz dá fundamento e confere especificidade aos saberes identitários, políticos e estéticos corpóreos que subsidiam novos conhecimentos, práticas educativas e estratégias político-pedagógicas de discentes negras/os em graduações da área da Saúde. Investigar a conformação de territorialidades negras pode favorecer o exame das singularidades político-pedagógicas, das práticas educativas e dos tipos e alcances dos conhecimentos produzidos pelo movimento negro nas universidades

The Determinants of Inflation in Nigeria
Authors: C.C. Okeke , C.G. Ohazulume , F. Emerenini
Published: August 2022

This paper examined the determinants of inflation in Nigeria using annual time series data covering the period of 1981 to 2017. This period has been carefully selected as it captures the different eras of policy implementation in Nigeria such as the pre–SAP era, SAP era, and the post–SAP era; and is long enough to make an objective assessment of the determinants of inflation in Nigeria. The study applied Auto–Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) methodology based on the outcome of the ADF unit root test which revealed that the variables are integrated of I (1) and I (0). The ARDL bounds test result provided evidence of a stronghold long-run relationship among the variables. This necessitated the estimation of ARDL short-run and long-run results. The short-run results of both models revealed that YGAP, M2, TGE, TIMP and UEMPR were significant determinants of inflation in Nigeria whereas the long-run results indicated that TGE, TIMP and UEMPR were significant determinants of inflation in Nigeria. The impact of YGAP, M2, TGE and TIMP was positive in both long and short runs whereas YGAP, TIMP, TGE and UEMPR impacted negatively on inflation in both periods. The outcome of all the diagnostic tests supported the acceptability of the models’ results. The study concludes that both demand–pull and cost–push factors are responsible for inflation in Nigeria and also provide the social infrastructure that would encourage private investment.
The vole of the book in shaping the elite of society
Authors:   Universitatea Tehnică a Moldovei, Luca Sergiu
Published: August 2022

Annotation: „Tabula rasa” – the theory of the philosopher John Loke represents the man without a book. The importance of the book in the formation of personality is demonstrated by the countless prohibitions of books throughout human history – „blacklists” of forbidden books and burned books. Hence the rhetorical question: – „What is your first book?”, „What books were in your training?”. The book is the source of knowledge that can be passed on to other generations contributing to their formation. Good governance can only be achieved based on qualitative knowledge. The need for elite education has been realized since antiquity. Thus in all societies, the formula of creating special schools for the children of kings and aristocrats was used. The Party High School was created in the Soviet Union for Party Officials because good governance equals the higher level of idealization of the official. Cultural and scientific elites have a role in defending national culture and merit in universal science. The book is an artifact in the demonstration of the existence of a people, and the people who will not have written books will remain out of history.
Ivan Turbincă’s story: the road to the big screen
Authors:   Institutul Patrimoniului Cultural, Republica Moldova, Tipa Violeta
Published: August 2022

One of the few masterpieces, created at the Moldova-film studio based on a work from the national classics, was and will remain the film Se caută un paznic/ Looking for a guard (1967) directed by Gheorghe Vodă, a film inscribed in the golden fund of national cinematography. Today, the film is of interest as a separate work, which managed to convey the author’s visions and his national spirituality, as well as the history of its creation. The materials kept in the funds of the National Archive of the Republic of Moldova allow us to restore more or less the epic of this cinematographic work, starting with 1964, when Vlad Ioviță, a young graduate of the Advanced Courses in Screenwriting and Directing, inspired by the well-known tale Ivan Turbincă by the classic of our literature Ion Creangă, submits the offer for the film. By studying archive materials, we will be able to follow the pilgrimages of the literary script until the release of the film Se caută un paznic in 1968 on the big screen. The journey of the literary script to the big screen opens new perspectives in the awareness of the socio-cultural and ideological conditions, which provoked such an original vision of Creanga’s tale.
Byzantine religious chanting between oral and written tradition
Authors:   Institutul Patrimoniului Cultural, Republica Moldova, Galaicu Violina
Published: August 2022

Those who scrutinized the historical development of Byzantine liturgical chanting could notice the late codification of this music. With the transition to the written tradition, a clear tendency to preserve orality in the new hypostasis emerged. Proto-Byzantine chanting circulated orally, this being conditioned by the original orality of the evangelical tradition. When the Eastern promoters of Christian liturgical chanting felt the need to codify the cultic repertoire, they resorted to the Ekphonetic notation, and later to the Diastematic one. Ekphonetic notation is a rudimentary notation, it has a mnemonic function, meaning the purpose of reminding the performer of a certain melodic formula that he knew before. The Diastematic notation, although it fixes several details of the melodic thread, also leaves enough room for interpretive ambiguity and can only be deciphered satisfactorily by those familiar with traditional practice. The attempt to explain the reluctance of the promoters of Byzantine religious music towards written codification will lead us to the deep roots of this art, as well as to its liturgical functionality.
The vestiges of the clothing from the stone church from Orheiul Vechi
Authors:   Institutul Patrimoniului Cultural, Republica Moldova, Nesterova Tamara
Published: August 2022

In the stone church, in the village of Orheiul Vechi, the bones of two people were discovered, with fragments of clothing kept in the funeral complex. The material used was identical: gilded silver threads, twisted on yellow silk thread. The first clothing was made of a coat decorated on the chest with braids, on the top it had a metallic thread coat, cut in front, from which remained three large hemispherical buttons with embossed surface. The inventory discovered in the second burial consisted of a garment with festoon lance, which outlined the upper part of the cut in front, completed with buttons and braids woven from the same metal wire. The wear was completed with an outer garment, of which metal clips and ribbon fragments remained. The research of clothing vestiges, corroborated with pictorial representations from Arab-Persian miniatures, synchronized with the history of the village of Orheiul Vechi, limited the dating of these pieces to the 14th century. The first clothing complex comes from a man from the area of Early Asia, the second clothing complex – from a woman from the Turanian environment on the Volga.

Published: August 2022

The popliteal fossa nerve block (PFNB) technique is one of the most popular anesthesia method in the foot and ankle surgery. The wide awake local anesthesia no tourniquet (WALANT) technique is an local anesthetic method and it has been gaining popularity in orthopedic surgery in recent years. Our aim is to compare the efficacy of the WALANT and the PFNB techniques in pain management. This prospective study included 40 patients with lateral malleolar and medial malleolar fractures. The first group was anesthetized using the WALANT technique; in the second group, PFNB was performed. All patients were evaluated for intrasurgical bleeding amounts, mean arterial pressure, surgery time and VAS scores for presurgical pain, pain during the local anesthetic injection sequence, mean intrasurgical pain, mean postsurgical pain. A total of 40 patients in both groups were successfully operated on with the WALANT and the PFNB techniques. When the two groups were compared, statistically significant differences were observed for mean intrasurgical VAS (p = 0.033), mean postsurgical VAS (p = 0.038) and intrasurgical bleeding (p = 0.006). No significant difference was found in pain scores during anesthetic injection (p = 0.529), mean arterial pressure (p = 0.583) and surgery time (p = 0.277). The PFNB technique is more successful in pain management in the treatment of the unimalleolar fractures. Intrasurgical bleeding amounts were less detected in the WALANT tech- nique. The both techniques are a reliable and suitable anesthetic method in the surgical treatment of uni- malleolar fractures.
Simulating upright cervical lordosis in the supine position
Authors: Karabag Hamza , Celal Iplikcioglu Ahmet
Published: August 2022

Cervical alignment or lordosis evolution is still attained by direct radiography in standing position because an ideal cervical curvature is essential to maintain a horizontal gaze with minimal energy consumption. However, upright cervical lordosis changes in supine position. Anterior fusion surgery and more sophisticated radiological examinations, such as Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), are performed in lying position. Therefore, if upright cervical alignment can be simulated in the supine position, true (upright) cervical lordosis can be demonstrated on CT and MRI and also a more proper anterior cervical fusion can be performed in operation with better surgical outcomes. Forty-nine (49) adult patients underwent radiological examinations, including upright cervi- cal radiography and three session of supine MRI in different positions. MRI was performed in (1) conventional neutral supine position, (2) supine posi- tion with a 5-cm-high pillow, and (3) supine position with a 10-cm-high pillow under the shoulders. MRI results were analyzed. Wilcoxon, Kolmogorov-Smir- nov, and Spearman correlation tests were used to analyze MRI the validity in compared with those of cervical radiography. Cervical lordosis (C2-C7 Cobb angle) of the radiography group was similar to that of supine MRI group using a 5-cm-high pillow, and they have a strong correlation. The T-1 slope from radiography group was similar to and correlated with that of supine MRI groups with both pillows. Cranial tilt measurements of radiography group were different but correlated with the MRI group using a 5-cm-high pillow. Simulating upright cervical lordosis in the supine position is possible by adding a 5-cm- high pillow under the shoulders of the patients. This simulation reduces the need for direct radiography. Anterior cervical fusion surgery performed in this position can provide better surgical results.

The most common “vanishing” central nervous system (CNS) tumor is a primary lymphoma. After steroid administration, patients usually experience partial or complete remission. Importantly, CNS lymphomas are almost entirely intra-axial, and the complete remission of extra-axial tumors is rarely discussed in the literature. We present a unique patient case where a large meningioma-like tumor in the left frontal area disappeared. Initially the tumor was scheduled for resection, but the tumor was absorbed within 10 days of dexamethasone administration. During the follow-up, the patient was diagnosed with multiple myeloma. This case demonstrates that hematological disease should be considered for extra-axial tumors. Keywords: extra-axial tumor; complete remission; multiple myeloma; meningioma.

Impact of Alzheimer’s Disease on Caregivers in the United States
Authors: Vu Megan , Mangal Rohan , Stead Thor , Lopez-Ortiz Carlos , Ganti Latha
Published: August 2022

Background/Objective

First discovered by Alois Alzheimer in 1906, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has become a growing global health concern with numerous implications for individuals and modern society. As patients’ symptoms of dementia continue to worsen, they gradually grow more limited in their independence. As a result, family members and close acquaintances often become caregivers for the patient and become more involved in maintaining the patient’s lifestyle. The authors of this research sought to study what motivates caregivers to look after AD patients and the impact of AD on their lifestyles and physical, mental, and social health.

Methods

The authors crafted a survey of fourteen questions and collected data from 200 caregivers regarding AD’s impact on their physical, emotional, and social health along with their key demographic and background information (e.g. whether or not they are a caregiver for a patient with AD).

Results

The results indicate that most AD caregivers are family members (78%). AD often strains the caregiver’s relationship with the patient (47.5%), and 58% of participating caregivers report extreme stress levels while 65% realize it is incredibly difficult to take care of a patient. Because of the increased levels of stress, 47% of participating caregivers sleep less; 43% feel more isolated from their family; and, 35.5% did not try to get help from others. Love and a strong sense of duty seem to be the primary motivation for caregivers to take care of a patient. Worry for the patient (50%), financial worries (12.5%), lack of medical experience (10.5%), and their own health (10.5%) seem to be the primary stressors for caregivers. Caregivers rely on numerous support systems and coping mechanisms, with physical activity (54.5%) and increased alcohol and marijuana usage (35.5%) the most frequent.

Conclusions

Although caregivers have support systems and found coping methods that would alleviate their burden of caring for a patient with AD, the clear negative impact AD has on caregivers affects their physical, mental, and social health. As there is currently no cure for AD, compassion and greater support for caregivers are necessary.

Buprenorphine, a novel long-acting analgesic, was developed with the intention of two purposes: analgesia and opioid use disorder. Regarding its pharmacodynamics, it is a partial agonist at mu receptors, an inverse agonist at kappa receptors, and an antagonist at delta receptors. For the purpose of analgesia, three formulations of buprenorphine were developed: IV/IM injectable formulation (Buprenex®), transdermal patch formulation (Butrans®), and buccal film formulation (Belbuca®). Related to opioid dependence, the formulations developed were subcutaneous extended release (Sublocade®), subdermal implant (Probuphine®), and sublingual tablets (Subutex®). Lastly, in order to avoid misuse of buprenorphine for opioid dependence, two combination formulations paired with naloxone were developed: film formulation (Suboxone®) and tablet formulation (Zubsolv®). In this review, we present details of each formulation along with their similarities and differences between each other and clinical considerations.
Mental Health in Urologic Oncology
Authors: Anderson Danyon , Razzak Abrahim N. , McDonald Matthew , Cao David , Hasoon Jamal , Viswanath Omar , Kaye Alan D. , Urits Ivan
Published: August 2022

This article is a systematic review of mental health in urologic oncology patients with prostate cancer (PCa), bladder cancer (BC), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), testicular cancer (TC), or penile cancer (PeCa). For all pathologies, a focus on increasing quality of life post-treatment demonstrated a positive impact in reducing Mental Health Illness (MHI) prevalence. Cancer specific mental health care may be given to patients to reduce suicide risk in BC patients and sexual identify and masculinity counseling may improve mental health for TC or PeCa patients. In order to better accommodate patient’s mental health needs when undergoing GU cancer treatment, we recommend incorporation of mental health metrics such as questionnaires to assess early treatment of MHI, a greater emphasis on psychosocial support with the patient’s loved ones, peers, and healthcare team, alongside advising healthy habits such as exercise which has been shown to drastically reduce MHI incidence across all pathologies. We hope that these measures conducted by urologists and oncologists, alongside possible coordination with psychiatrists and psychologists for psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, and neuro-stimulation treatment modems may be helpful in the long term to reduce MHI incidence in urology oncology patients. Given the higher incidence of MHI in oncology patients and in the patient population after the Covid-19 pandemic, MHI awareness in the sphere of urologic oncologic treatment continues to be crucial when creating a collaborative treatment platform for patients.

Published: August 2022

Aims

Knowledge plays a vital role in making better decisions for treatment. Patients should be educated about the knowledge of the disease. This study aimed to know patient knowledge about diabetes illness symptoms, complications, and preventive personal lifestyle factors.

Methods

A cross sectional research design was used to know diabetes knowledge among 261 diabetes patients. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression were used to analyze collected data.

Results

A total 261 respondents were included in this study. 71.26 % were male and 28.74% were females, and their mean age was 30.41 ±7.4 years. About 45.2 % of the respondents earned excellent knowledge ratings. The study concluded that frequent urination (94.6%), increased thirst (86.6%) and slow healing of cuts and wounds (88.5%) were the common symptoms of diabetes. Respondents knew that a family history of diabetes mellitus is the most significant risk factor, followed by being overweight /obesity (89.7%). Most respondents indicated that insulin injection (92%) and avoiding sugary foods (91.6%) were the best ways to control blood sugar. Even though work related to the medical field (p=001) and age (p=0.018) were significantly and positively associated with knowledge, the association of gender, income, level of education, medical field related education, nationality, and marital position with knowledge were not significant.

Conclusions

Our study findings has confirmed that respondents have good level of knowledge about diabetes mellitus (DM) and the associated risk factors, symptoms and chronic complications. Age and work related to the medical field have displayed a significant association with respondent’s knowledge about risk factors, symptoms and complications of diabetes.
Male Sexual Dysfunction

Published: August 2022

Male sexual dysfunction is a series of conditions, most notably including erectile dysfunction (ED), Peyronie’s disease (PD), and premature ejaculation (PE), defined by impaired sexual functioning. The prevalence of male sexual dysfunction increases with age and is relatively high with greater than 50% of men aged 40 to 70 describing some degree of erectile dysfunction. Risk factors for male sexual dysfunction include age, diabetes mellitus (DM), cancer, stroke, hypertension, penile trauma, depression, anxiety, and disturbance in central serotonin neurotransmission and 5-HT postsynaptic receptor functioning. Sexual questionnaires including the International Index of Erectile Dysfunction, Sexual Health Inventory for Men, and the Premature Ejaculation Diagnostic Tool are useful in screening for these disorders. Focused history and physical can establish diagnoses. For a condition to be diagnosed as male sexual dysfunction, the patient or their partner must view their sexual functioning as impaired. Treatment of male sexual dysfunction is etiology dependent. For ED, first-line therapy is a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor or mental health care for psychogenic ED. More complicated cases may be treated with injections, surgery, or shockwave therapy.

Authors: Singh Shivangi
Published: August 2022

A.T. Mahan has mentioned some important facts for the growth of the nine powers, which include geographical location, physical shape, territorial expansion, population, national character and government institutions which also have scientific and industrial potential, no nation without benefits. If we put India on this criterion, then India's location is definitely going to make India strong. Undoubtedly, India's position is ideal for naval power. Due to its peninsular position, it affects the vast ocean. Several ports are located on its coastline. However, apart from the Gulf of Kutch, it lacks a protected marine area. India can establish a powerful navy because of its maritime location. The strategic location of the Indian Ocean is mainly the center of attraction of the superpowers, which is a matter of main concern from the Indian strategic point of view.

Abstract in Hindi Language:

ए.टी. माहन ने नौ शक्ति के वृद्धि के लिए कुछ महत्वपूर्ण तथ्यों का उल्लेख किया है, जिसमें भौगोलिक स्थिति, भौतिक आकृति, क्षेत्रीय विस्तार, जनसंख्या, राष्ट्रीय चरित्र तथा सरकारी संस्थान जिनमें वैज्ञानिक तथा औद्योगिक क्षमता भी जुड़ी है, लाभों के बिना कोई राष्ट्र समुद्र पर अधिकार नहीं कर सकता यदि हम भारत को इस कसौटी पर कसें तो भारत की अवस्थिति निश्चित रूप से भारत को सबल बनाने वाली है। निःसंदेह भारत की स्थिति नौशक्ति के लिए आदर्श स्थिति है। अपनी प्रायद्वीपीय स्थिति के कारण विशाल समुद्र को प्रभावित करता है। इसके तटरेखा पर अनेक बंदरगाह स्थित हैं। यद्यपि कच्छ की खाड़ी के अलावा इसके पास संरक्षित समुद्री क्षेत्र की कमी है। भारत अपने सामुद्रिक अवस्थिति के कारण एक शक्तिशाली नौ सेना को स्थापित कर सकता है। हिन्द महासागर की सामरिक स्थिति मुख्य रूप से महाशक्तियों के आकर्षण का केन्द्र जो कि भारतीय रणनीतिक दृष्टि से मुख्य चिंता का विषय है।

Background:  Amino acid identification can be a reliable approach to noninvasive diagnosis of liver disease. This is because liver disease can be a cause of impaired amino acid metabolism. Therefore, a method for determining amino acids in blood that is applicable for clinical purposes is essential. Objectives:  The aim of this study was to find differences in amino acid levels between patients with liver disease and a control group. Material and Methods: Samples of peripheral venous blood were obtained from a group of patients with liver disease (n = 40 women at an average age of 37-70 years and 40men at an average age of 35-70 years) and control group (n = 40 women at an average age of 35- 70 years and 40 men at an average age of 35 - 70 years).  Before separation, The amino acids were derived using orthophalenealdehyde (OPA).For separation, a reverse phase shaft was used. The flow was monitored with a fluorescence detector. Results. There were statistically significant differences in the concentrations of some amino acids between patients and the control group, as well as between women and men. Relationships between some amino acids, markers of liver blood tests, and lipid metabolism were observed.
