The relationship between spatial information production and the displacement of the urban underclass in 1970s' Seoul
Authors:   Institute of Korean Cultural Studies Yeungnam University, SO Junchol
Published: October 2023

During the 1970s, the urban underclass of Seoul underwent significant displacement. This displacement took place within the city and was mainly due to semi-forced evictions from unauthorized dwellings and large-scale urban redevelopment initiatives. The government policies and construction capital interests created a perception of the redevelopment primarily as forced demolitions and top-down development. However, these transformations were underpinned by significant institutional and technological changes. Aerial photography, for example, facilitated the institutionalisation of spatial and ownership information. Through this transformation driven by technology, demolishing unauthorized housing became a systematic and feasible enforcement measure. The urban poor were unable to afford the newly constructed rental apartments after the demolitions. The simultaneous demolition of deprived areas across Seoul worsened their displacement. Individuals searched for shelter in inadequate housing clusters which became legalised after 1971. For those who were unable to afford these dwellings, unauthorised areas like Nanjido presented themselves as the only option. The displacement of the urban underclass was essentially due to a significant wave of demolitions and development. The institutionalisation of spatial data through aerial photography played a crucial role in implementing the clearance of unauthorised housing. The urban poor had no other choice but to move to areas where spatial information is not available. This highlights how socially vulnerable people are excluded from certain areas based on their location. Moreover, it underscores the passive resistance of the urban poor towards aggressive and authoritarian development.
Interpersonal Trust and Borderline Personality Disorder: Insights From Clinical Practice and Research: Introduction
Authors: Fertuck Eric A. , Preti Emanuele
Published: October 2023

Individuals suffering from borderline personality disorder (BPD) show a pervasive sense that others cannot be trusted, are vulnerable to negative therapeutic reactions, and can oscillate between idealized and persecutory interactions with others. These trust processing impairments impact both the immediate and wider social milieu of individuals with BPD, including therapist-patient interactions. Recently, research started unraveling the social-cognitive mechanisms of these impairments in BPD. In this Special Issue, we attempt to close the gap between research findings and clinical theories on trust processing impairment in BPD. The first section includes five original studies on trust processing in BPD. The second section includes five articulations of trust processing impairment as a treatment target in evidence-based treatments for BPD and as an indispensable “common factor” in the treatment of BPD. These cutting-edge research and clinical contributions advance a potential integrative, clinical science framework for conceptualizing and intervening effectively with those who struggle with BPD.
Evaluating Change in Transference, Interpersonal Functioning, and Trust Processes in the Treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder: A Single-Case Study Using Ecological Momentary Assessment

Published: October 2023

Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) is an empirically supported treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) that improves functioning via targeting representations of self affectively relating to others, particularly as evoked in the therapeutic relationship. If change in TFP operates as theorized, then shifts in patterns of “self affectively relating to others” should be observed in the transference prior to shifts in daily relationships. Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), a patient with BPD rated daily interpersonal events for 2-week periods during 18 months of TFP; at 9 and 18 months these ratings included interactions with the therapist. Results suggest that positive perceptions of her therapist that ran counter to her negatively biased perception in other relationships preceded changes in her perceptions of others. EMA shifts corresponded to improvements in self-reported symptoms, interview-based personality functioning, and therapist assessments. Implications for assimilation of a trusting experience with the therapist as a mechanism of change in TFP are discussed.
Becoming Trustworthy in Treating Patients With Borderline Personality Disorder
Authors: Allen Jon G.
Published: October 2023

No one doubts the importance of trust in psychotherapy, but few therapists think about the complexities of trusting relationships, and the trustworthiness that would justify trusting remains far from view. Fortunately, inasmuch as trusting and trustworthiness are inherently ethical concepts, contemporary philosophers have given trust the consideration it warrants. Integrating science and philosophy, the author reviews the broad scope and multifaceted nature of trust and trustworthiness, the social-cognitive development of trust, and the development of distrust in the context of borderline personality disorder. Without questioning therapists’ character, the author makes the case for shifting the emphasis from the patient's distrust to the therapist's challenge to become trustworthy in the course of each treatment relationship and, more broadly, over the course of a professional career.
Labour self-sufficiency on family dairy farms in Ireland: a case study approach considering labour requirement, input and management

Published: October 2023

The efficient use of labour input is essential to the success of farms; however, many countries are experiencing a decreasing family workforce on-farm as a result of perceived labour intensive work and poor work–life balance. Four farms identified from two labour time-use studies were selected as case studies to investigate management of the family dairy farm in terms of herd size, while also meeting the labour requirements and maintaining a satisfactory work–life balance. A mixed methods approach was used; quantitative analysis described the labour profile and characteristics of the farms, while the qualitative interviews provided insights into strategies to achieve labour efficiency. The results demonstrate that a family farm with a herd size of ∼120 cows with appropriate facilities and streamlined practices can operate effectively with a total labour input of 2,986 h/yr. The labour contributed by the farmer and the farm family represented 77.5% of the total annual labour requirement. Contractors or hired employees contributed the remaining labour input, depending on individual circumstances. The annual average working day length for the farmer (excluding breaks) was 7.8 h/d. The analysed narratives of the farmers demonstrated their view that a seasonal, pasture-based spring calving system of production is a key influence in achieving relatively high labour efficiency on-farm, if it is ensured that the peak workload in spring is managed effectively. The study highlights that the overall labour demand can be reduced on Irish family farms through the management of facilities and practices. The farmer and family members can then decide on the degree of self-sufficiency with regard to labour, that is, what proportion of that labour they wish to contribute based on their lifestyle choices, cost and availability of contractors and hired workers.

The incidence of ovarian cancer has been epidemiologically related to female reproductive events and hormone replacement therapy after menopause. This highlights the importance of evaluating the role of sexual steroid hormones in ovarian cancer by the expression of enzymes related to steroid hormone biosynthesis in the tumor cells. This study was aimed to evaluate the presence of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17β-HSD1), aromatase and estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in the tumor cells and their association with the overall survival in 111 patients diagnosed with primary ovarian tumors. Positive immunoreactivity for 17β-HSD1 was observed in 74% of the tumors. In the same samples, aromatase and ERα revealed 66% and 47% positivity, respectively. No association was observed of 17β-HSD1 expression with the histological subtypes and clinical stages of the tumor. The overall survival of patients was improved in 17β-HSD1-positive group in Kaplan–Meier analysis (P = 0.028), and 17β-HSD1 expression had a protective effect from multivariate proportional regression evaluation (HR = 0.44; 95% CI 0.24–0.9; P = 0.040). The improved survival was observed in serous epithelial tumors but not in nonserous ovarian tumors. The expression of 17β-HSD1 in the cells of the serous epithelial ovarian tumors was associated with an improved overall survival, whereas aromatase and ERα were not related to a better survival. The evaluation of hazard risk factors demonstrated that age and clinical stage showed worse prognosis, and 17β-HSD1 expression displayed a protective effect with a better survival outcome in patients of epithelial ovarian tumors.

In brief

Oocyte vitrification leads to DNA hypomethylation, which results in defect in early embryo development. This study reveals that oocyte vitrification impairs the DNA methylation pattern by influencing protein O-GlcNAcylation.

Oocyte vitrification leads to decreased DNA methylation levels, which impairs the quality and the developmental potential of oocytes. However, the underlying molecular mechanism still need to be further revealed. In this study, mouse metaphase II (M II) oocytes were frozen by vitrification technology, while fresh oocytes were used as the control group. The effect of oocyte vitrification on protein O-GlcNAcylation and its impact on the developmental potential of oocytes were elucidated. We found that the protein O-GlcNAcylation levels were significantly increased in vitrified oocytes. Increase of protein O-GlcNAcylation levels in control oocytes by PUGNAc (an O-GlcNAcase inhibitor) decreases blastocyst rate after parthenogenetic activation (20.82% in PUGNAc-treated group; 53.82% in control group, P  <  0.05). We also discovered that DNA methylation was disrupted in two-cell embryos derived from vitrified oocytes, resulting in decreased 5mC and increased 5hmC, showing similar phenotypes to that derived from PUGNAc-treated oocytes. In vitrified and PUGNAc-treated oocytes, O-GlcNAcylated TET3 was significantly increased. Notably, by inhibiting protein O-GlcNAcylation in vitrified oocytes using OSMI1 (an O-GlcNAc transferase inhibitor) we restored the DNA methylation in two-cell embryos and ameliorated the developmental defects in early embryo. Thus, elevated protein O-GlcNAcylation in vitrified oocytes is an essential contributor to their declining embryonic developmental potential. Modulation of protein O-GlcNAcylation improves the developmental potential of vitrified oocytes.
Singular anisotropic equations with a sign-changing perturbation
Authors: Liu Zhenhai , Papageorgiou Nikolaos S.
Published: October 2023

We consider an anisotropic Dirichlet problem driven by the variable (p, q)-Laplacian (double phase problem). In the reaction, we have the competing effects of a singular term and of a superlinear perturbation. Contrary to most of the previous papers, we assume that the perturbation changes sign. We prove a multiplicity result producing two positive smooth solutions when the coefficient function in the singular term is small in the L∞-norm.

Authors: Genç Harun , Ceviz Ebru , Kızar Oktay , Dinçer Kadriye
Published: October 2023

Background and Study Aim. Understanding the impact of swimming exercises on post-Covid-19 respiratory function is crucial for optimizing recovery strategies in affected individuals. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of 8-week swimming exercises on respiratory function parameters in adult individuals who have had Covid-19 disease.
Material and Methods. Sixteen male students, aged 19-21, voluntarily participated in the study. Eight participants were assigned to the experimental group (EG), and eight to the control group (CG), all of whom were students of the Faculty of Sports Sciences at the University. The EG underwent an 8-week swimming exercise program conducted at the Bingöl Youth and Sports swimming pool (25 meters), three days a week. The CG was not involved in any exercise regimen. Pulmonary function tests (FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, PEF) were conducted using a Cosmed Pony FXdel 2016 spirometer, one day before and one day after the exercise program for both EG and CG. Data analysis was performed using Independent Samples and Paired Samples T tests in SPSS 25, with a significance level set at p < 0.05.
Results. A statistically significant increase in respiratory FVC, FEV1, FEV1/FVC, and PEF function values was observed in the experimental group (EG) after the exercise intervention (p < 0.05). This increase was observed when comparing these values to their pre-exercise measurements. In contrast, there was no statistically significant difference in respiratory function results before and after exercise in the control group (CG) (p > 0.05).
Conclusions. The findings of this study highlight the therapeutic potential of an 8-week swimming exercise program in significantly enhancing respiratory function among adult individuals who have previously contracted Covid-19. These results offer valuable insights for the development of post-Covid-19 rehabilitation protocols, emphasizing the importance of regular exercise, such as swimming, in the recovery process.

Authors: Miletic Durdica , Miletic Alen , Uzunovic Slavoljub
Published: October 2023

Background and Study Aim. Implementation of dance in physical education is in conformity with the requirements of modern education which fosters lifelong exercise for health and quality of life. The study aimed to determine which of the applied teaching styles would have the most significant impact on dance learning and the improvement of dance performance. Additionally, to assess the effects of these teaching styles on factors such as Task climate, Social relatedness, Autonomy, and Ego climate, as well as the relationship between these effects and gender.
Material and Methods. The study was carried out on a sample of 58 students attending a university study program for a Physical Education teacher, aged between 20 and 22, divided into three groups: reciprocal (N=19), self-check (N=18), and command (N=21). The study utilized the Motivational Climate on Physical Education Scale (MCPES).
Results. The two-way Analysis of variance and the Tukey Post Hoc Test were used to analyse the differences in teaching styles as well as differences according to gender. During the learning process, differences between teaching styles progressively increased. The preferred teaching style in partner dances was the reciprocal style, which led to a significant improvement in the learning process, particularly among female students.
Conclusions. The obtained results suggest that the reciprocal style is the most effective method for learning dances that are performed in pairs. Student-centred teaching style more than teacher –centred, should be preferred when learning dances.

Background and Study Aim. In recent years, there has been a technological revolution and development in all fields, particularly the sports field. This has imposed on man a lifestyle characterized by comfort at the expense of a significant portion of his movement and activities. The problem of obesity has expanded beyond the inconsistency of the body to include its direct effect of increasing the proportion of fat and the negative impact on the work of vital organs. This disruption alters the body's internal environment and causes numerous diseases. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of a sports program on taking vitamin D to lose weight and on some biochemical variables in young adults aged 30 to 35 years old.
Materials and Methods. The study involved 10 overweight women aged 30-35 years, selected through intentional sampling. Inclusion criteria required consent, good health, and no ongoing vitamin D or exercise programs. The research employed a Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) design. Primary outcome measures encompassed body weight, body composition, lipid profile, and vitamin D status. Anthropometric measurements included age, height, weight, and training age. Biochemical measurements involved blood tests for cholesterol, triglycerides, and vitamin D levels. The experimental group received vitamin D tablets and a proposed aerobic exercise program for 12 weeks.
Results. The proposed aerobic sports program with vitamin D intake improved biochemical variables, such as total fat, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density cholesterol, low-density cholesterol, OH, and Vitamin D-025 for the sample under investigation. The application of the aerobic program with vitamin D led to weight loss among the study's female participants. The aerobic program with vitamin D intake has a positive effect on the general health status of the sample.
Conclusions. Based on the study's findings, it is recommended to consider the positive effects of Vitamin D on the overall functional state of the body, making it essential to incorporate an aerobic sports program across various age groups. Regular medical tests are crucial for monitoring and maintaining overall health. Emphasizing the importance of regular exercise is vital in preventing weight gain and reducing the risk of certain chronic diseases. By implementing these recommendations, individuals can enhance their overall well-being and lead a healthier lifestyle. To further validate these outcomes, similar studies should be conducted on different age groups and diverse samples.

Background and Study Aim. In the context of youth sports development, it is imperative to emphasize the critical importance of a comprehensive understanding of coordinating orientation training in young female volleyball players. Given the significant variations in physical and neurological growth patterns within this age group, addressing the methodological nuances of tailored training programs becomes paramount. This study aims to substantiate specific methodological approaches for planning coordination training among young female volleyball players, with a keen focus on accommodating the unique intricacies of their developmental journey.
Material and Methods. Participants in this study included female volleyball players aged 10 (n=25), 11 (n=20), 12 (n=30), and 13 (n=20). The second phase of the study involved the analysis of four years of observations of female volleyball players aged 14 to 17 (n=24), who were carefully selected from a large pool of young candidates. Prior to their participation, both the children and their parents were provided with detailed information about the study, and informed consent was obtained. In the study, a series of tests were utilized, including “Backward Throw to Target”, “Stepping over a gymnastics stick”, “'Running to numbered balls”, and “Backward Shuttle Run (3x10 m)”. An expert assessment was conducted, involving the participation of highly qualified specialists (n=25).
Results. The study has demonstrated a substantial increase in coordination abilities among female volleyball players aged 10 to 17. A significant improvement was observed in kinesthetic differentiation abilities (2.3 times). A somewhat smaller increase was noted in their abilities to coordinate and restructure movements and spatial orientation (1.4-1.6 times). The most pronounced and statistically significant improvements were observed in the age group of 10 to 12 years. Changes in volleyball players aged from 12 to 13 and from 13 to 14 in tests assessing the development of spatial orientation and coordination of movements were less apparent. Motor coordination indicators improved significantly in the age group of 14 to 16.
Conclusions. The identification of age-related characteristics in the development of coordination abilities is crucial for implementing the principle of aligning biological development with pedagogical and training methods. Understanding the various ontogenetic stages is essential for effectively managing the long-term athletic development of young female volleyball players.
Factors associated with continued Jogini practice in Telangana, South India
Authors: Youdle Alison , D’Souza Vali Beryl A , John Nathan , Anderson Pam
Published: October 2023

The Jogini, or Devadasi, system sees young girls “married” to a deity after which she is seen as the property of the village and required to perform religious duties and often sexual favours, typically without payment or freedom of choice. There is a paucity of published research on the factors which make women vulnerable to this exploitation and the factors which increase the likelihood that they are able to extricate themselves from it.
This is a population study of 657 women who had previously been dedicated as Joginis living in 10 villages in Mahabubnagar district of Telangana, South India. The primary outcome of interest was whether the women were practicing as a Jogini at the time of the survey.
Data was analyzed using a mixed effect logistic regression test to determine possible determinants of practicing status. Four factors were found to be significantly associated with continued Jogini practice: 1) being a person with a disability, 2) reason for dedication given as family tradition of other Joginis in the family, 3) poverty in the family of origin, and 4) living in a village with more than ten percent of the population belonging to a scheduled tribe. One factor significantly negatively associated with continued practice was having one or more male children.
Analysis of the demographic data for these women confirmed the previously known fact that the exploitation in the form of the Jogini system disproportionately affects those who are already vulnerable in society — those from scheduled castes (SC) and tribes (ST), other backward castes (OBC), the disabled, the uneducated, and the poor. Between them, SCs, STs, and OBCs make up the non-forward castes, i.e., those who are socially disadvantaged. The scheduled castes, formally known as untouchables, are the lowest of the Indian castes. Scheduled tribes are tribal people, not part of any organized religion. Other backward castes are those between the forward castes and the scheduled castes in terms of social order.
Protecting against moral injury among healthcare missionaries
Authors: Ritchie James , Toppe Michael , Lindberg Doug , Paltzer Jason
Published: October 2023

As mentioned in the introduction of our study in this issue, Moral injury among healthcare missionaries: a qualitative study, the setting of cross-cultural medicine inherently produces moral injury. This moral injury occurs because different cultures have different deeply held values, and medical care intersects with some of the most emotionally and spiritually powerful values. Moral injury is one of the most common reasons for distress in healthcare missionaries, and the consequences can be severe and lifelong. This calls for adequate preparation, ongoing mentoring, institutional boundary-setting, and further research.

Published: October 2023

Resumo O trabalho tem como objetivo discutir a importância da inclusão de autoras negras em produções da Psicologia Social e da Teoria Crítica, enquanto um estudo de produção de memória e ciência. Colocamos em cena Carolina Maria de Jesus e as poetas do slam narrando um Brasil a partir das margens, de resistência contra o epistemicídio e oposição a ideias pré-concebidas sobre a nossa história. Para a construção da narrativa, em diálogo com os diários de Carolina e com as poesias das mulheres do slam, estão autores da Teoria Crítica, da Psicologia Social e do Feminismo Negro. Fazemos uso da interseccionalidade como uma lente de análise das experiências narradas pelas autoras, compreendendo o entrecruzamento entre raça, classe, gênero e outras opressões como aspectos que constituem não apenas as singularidades que se mostram em suas histórias de vida, mas também os elementos que as fazem orbitar enquanto uma identidade coletiva brasileira.
A SOCIOGENIA FANONIANA E A FORMAÇÃO EM PSICOLOGIA: UMA APOSTA CLÍNICA POLÍTICA E NEGRA

Published: October 2023

Resumo Em 2020, recebíamos, no Brasil, a tradução do livro Écrits sur l´aliénation et la liberté de Frantz Fanon que, aliado a outras obras como Pele negra, máscaras brancas e Os condenados da terra, apresentava a sociogenia como condição imprescindível para compreensão das vidas negras em sua relação com o sofrimento físico e psíquico e a possibilidade de um fazer clínico que não se pautasse apenas na dimensão filogenética e ontogenética dos estados mentais e físicos. Partindo da sociogenia fanoniana como princípio e método, este artigo objetiva refletir sobre a possibilidade de construção de um processo de formação em Psicologia que tome a dimensão sociogênica como espaço vital para que o cuidado possa ser pensado em relação às comunidades negras nos diferentes contextos brasileiros. Defendemos a necessidade urgente de a formação e a práxis em Psicologia assumirem a discussão da sociogênese fanoniana como imprescindível.

Published: October 2023

Resumo Racismo e tecnologia são importantes mediadores societários, hierarquizando grupos e reproduzindo privilégios e exclusões. Podem, contudo, inviabilizar denúncias de desigualdades, seja pelo “mito da democracia racial” ou pela ideia de neutralidade da tecnologia. Discutiremos a eficácia da articulação entre racismo e tecnologia por conta de uma dupla opacidade: negação do racismo e a negação política da tecnologia. Trazemos o reconhecimento facial como aparato sociotécnico que, articulado aos corpos negros e a realidades brasileiras, ora produz invisibilidades, ora reacentua visibilidades. A pesquisa teórica reúne conceitos do pensamento social brasileiro, versando sobre relações raciais e criminologia marginal, bem como autores do campo da Ciência, Tecnologia e Sociedade (CTS), que nos auxiliam a explicitar a não neutralidade da tecnologia e a politização da gestão algorítmica. Concluímos pela necessária ampliação das vozes dissonantes que denunciam o racismo na produção de técnicas pretensamente neutras, numa proposição cosmopolítica, de modo a poder “decidir com” as pessoas que são reconhecidas ou invisibilizadas.
Vulnerabilities of Venezuelan refugee women: violence and intersectional social relations

Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the vulnerabilities of Venezuelan women considering their experiences of violence in refugee situations. Method: Qualitative study, developed with ten (10) Venezuelan refugee women in the southern region of Brazil, through individual in-depth interviews. The theoretical framework of analysis was Vulnerability, Human Rights, and Intersectionality. Results: The greater the intensity of the intersection of social markers present, such as sex, racial, nationality, generation, cultural, bodily, territorial and other relations, the greater the range of vulnerable experiences in the social relations of these women, producing exclusions and violation of rights. Conclusion: The situations of vulnerabilities of refugee women are enhanced as more or less social markers intersect in their life experiences and established social relationships, causing impacts that allow the transition from ‘vulnerable to violated subjects’. Thus, intersectional relationships were formed, either promoting oppression or producing resilience and resistance.

RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar as vulnerabilidades de mulheres venezuelanas considerando suas experiências de violências na situação de refúgio. Método: Estudo qualitativo, desenvolvido com dez (10) mulheres venezuelanas refugiadas na região sul do Brasil, por meio de entrevistas individuais em profundidade. O quadro teórico de análise foi Vulnerabilidade, Direitos Humanos e Interseccionalidade. Resultados: Quanto maior a intensidade da intersecção dos marcadores sociais presentes, como as relações de gênero, raciais, de nacionalidade, geração, culturais, corporais, territoriais e outras, maior a amplitude das experiências vulnerabilizantes nas relações sociais dessas mulheres, produzindo exclusões e violação de direitos. Conclusão: As situações de vulnerabilidades das mulheres que se refugiam acentuam-se à medida que mais ou menos marcadores sociais se interseccionam nas suas experiências de vida e nas relações sociais estabelecidas, provocando impactos que viabilizam a transição de ‘sujeitos vulneráveis para vulnerados’. Conformaram-se assim, relações interseccionais que ora promoveram opressão, ora produziram resiliência e resistência.

ABSTRACT Objective: To characterize scorpion accidents at the Information and Toxicological Assistance Center (CIATox) in Campinas, to analyze risk factors related to the moderate and severe classification, and to determine the age group at greatest risk for this classification. Method: Cross-sectional and retrospective study, with patients assisted in person at CIATox, who had a scorpion accident, from January 2015 to December 2019. Descriptive and inferential analysis was conducted. For the age variable, a ROC curve was constructed to determine cutoff points in relation to the severity classification. Poisson regression models were adjusted considering severity classification as the dependent variable. Results: A total of 754 cases with a mean age of 36.05 years, mostly female and non-occupational accidents that occurred in the urban area, was analyzed. The most frequent scorpion was the Tityus serrulatus. The risk factors found for greater severity were age group up to 22 years and previous care in other health services. Conclusion: The age range up to 22 years old should be used as a predictive factor of severity in the clinical evaluation of patients stung by scorpions to carry out adequate management of cases.

ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate sociodemographic factors, non-communicable diseases and conditions, and behavioral risk factors associated with negative self-rated health among Brazilian women of childbearing age. Method: Cross-sectional study with 26,071 Brazilian women of reproductive age. Estimated prevalence of self-rated health according to sociodemographic characteristics, non-communicable diseases and conditions, and behavioral risk factors. Poisson regression was used to estimate adjusted and unadjusted prevalence ratios. Results: Occurrence of two or more of the diseases and conditions presented a prevalence of negative self-rated health almost three times higher than none. There was a positive association between negative self-rated health and older age groups, lower education, black or brown skin color/race, living in the north and northeast regions, physical inactivity, being a smoker, and presence of one or more of the diseases and conditions. Conclusion: There are differences in self-rated health, reflecting social inequalities.

RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar fatores sociodemográficos, doenças e agravos não transmissíveis e fatores de risco comportamentais associados à autoavaliação de saúde negativa das mulheres brasileiras em idade reprodutiva. Método: Estudo transversal com 26.071 mulheres brasileiras em idade reprodutiva. Estimadas prevalências da autoavaliação de saúde segundo características sociodemográficas, doenças e agravos não transmissíveis e fatores de risco comportamentais. Utilizou-se regressão de Poisson para estimar as razões de prevalência ajustadas e não ajustadas. Resultados: Ocorrência de duas ou mais das doenças e agravos apresentou prevalência de autoavaliação de saúde negativa quase três vezes maior do que nenhuma. Houve associação positiva entre autoavaliação de saúde negativa e maiores faixas etárias, menor escolaridade, cor da pele/raça preta ou parda, viver nas regiões norte e nordeste, inatividade física, ser fumante e presença de uma ou mais das doenças e agravos. Conclusão: Existem diferenças na autoavaliação de saúde, refletindo em iniquidades sociais.

Authors: Morais Sabrina Ferreira Monteiro , Turrini Ruth Natalia Teresa
Published: October 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture and auriculotherapy protocol in relieving chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in cancer patients compared to the antiemetic protocol. Method: Pilot study of a pragmatic two-arm clinical trial: an acupuncture group received systemic acupuncture, auriculotherapy, and antiemetic protocol; a control group used antiemetic protocol. The sample consisted of 42 patients with cancer of the gastrointestinal system or multiple myeloma. The outcome was assessed using the Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea and Vomiting Assessment Tool and the patient’s diary. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between groups according to the assessment of the patient’s diary and the Assessment Tool of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. The patients were 60 years old on average and the groups were homogeneous, except for marital status. In the diary, there was no statistical difference between groups and sessions for days of nausea (p = 0.873) and vomiting episodes (p = 0.993). Conclusion: The protocol of acupuncture and auriculotherapy as a complementary treatment of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting was ineffective, considering the limitations of the study.

RESUMO Objetivo: Avaliar a efetividade do protocolo de acupuntura e auriculoterapia no alívio de náuseas e vômitos induzidos por quimioterapia em pacientes oncológicos em comparação ao protocolo antiemético. Método: Estudo piloto tipo ensaio clínico pragmático de dois braços: grupo acupuntura recebeu acupuntura sistêmica, auriculoterapia e protocolo antiemético, o grupo controle utilizou protocolo antiemético. A amostra foi composta por 42 pacientes com câncer do sistema gastrointestinal ou mieloma múltiplo. O desfecho foi avaliado pelo Instrumento de Avaliação de náuseas e vômitos induzidos por quimioterapia e diário do paciente. Resultados: Não houve diferença estatística significativa entre os grupos pela avaliação do diário do paciente e Instrumento de Avaliação de náuseas e vômitos induzidos por quimioterapia. Os pacientes apresentavam em média 60 anos e os grupos foram homogêneos, exceto para o estado civil. No diário, não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos e as sessões para os dias de náuseas (p = 0,873) e episódios de vômitos (p = 0,993). Conclusão: O protocolo de acupuntura e auriculoterapia como tratamento complementar de náuseas e vômitos induzidos por quimioterapia foi inefetivo, considerando as limitações do estudo.
Desenvolvimento socioeconômico, Igreja Católica e anticomunismo: o Padre Joseph Comblin e Dom Helder Câmara nos preparativos do clero de Pernambuco para a Conferência de Medellín, 1968
Authors: Moraes Márcio André Martins de
Published: October 2023

Resumo Este artigo discutirá as repercussões do manifesto escrito pelo padre belga Joseph Comblin, destinado à preparação do clero de Pernambuco para a II Conferência Geral do Conselho Episcopal Latino-Americano (CELAM), realizado em Medellín, Colômbia, no ano de 1968. O conteúdo desse documento foi considerado subversivo por defender um papel mais ativo da Igreja Católica na reestruturação política para a implantação de um processo de desenvolvimento socioeconômico equitativo para os países da América Latina. Confrontamos o pensamento desse padre em relação ao desenvolvimento com a do seu superior imediato, o Arcebispo Metropolitano de Olinda e Recife, Dom Helder Câmara. O apoio de parte do clero, incluindo de Dom Câmara, proporcionou algumas tensões entre os clérigos, leigos católicos, políticos e militares. Estamos tratando de um momento em que o Brasil estava sob uma Ditadura Civil-Militar. Para tanto, serão utilizadas como fontes históricas: periódicos, correspondências pessoais, entrevistas e documentos produzidos por órgãos de vigilância do governo brasileiro.
