Newly recorded Neolithic earthen long barrows in south-western Poland: unexpected discoveries, expanded perspectives, new interpretations
Authors: Przybył Agnieszka
Published: March 2022

A surprising discovery was made in 1995 in the Muszkowice Forest, south-western Poland, of a monumental cemetery with 6 earthen long barrows of the Funnel Beaker culture. Following an in-depth examination using traditional methods of archaeological survey, the cemetery was hailed as the only such funerary feature in that part of the country. However, subsequent large-area prospection performed using airborne laser scanning led to a startling discovery of further 15 monumental cemeteries with a total of 20 earthen long barrows. This article shows that even following a very fruitful examination conducted using surface survey, excavation and geomagnetic prospection, the employment of modern methods of non-invasive prospection may still deliver unexpected results that enhance our knowledge: they help discover unknown features and, by producing new data, extend the research perspectives, thus creating new possibilities for interpreting the cultural phenomena of the past.
Egyptian Script and Rock-Art. Connected or Unconnected?
Authors: Lankester Francis
Published: March 2022

The rock-art of the late predynastic and corpus of signs on late Protodynastic media, notably tags and seal impressions are examined here in order outline their relationship within the early Egyptian world view and the development of systems of communication and display. The importance of hunting and control of the wild is widely seen in the petroglyphs, pottery and other grave goods and the development of these motifs is traced through the Naqada cultural phase. They are emblematic of the prestige accruing to the elites who engaged in desert hunting expeditions.
The Iconography on Decorated Ware
Authors: Graff Gwenola
Published: March 2022

The lecture I am going to give deals with the Naqadan painted vases. We will not deal in great detail with the White cross-lined vases of the Naqada I-IIAB period, but will focus on the Decorated vases of the Naqada IIC-D period. The ornamental patterns of the different elements of these vases, the links between these elements and their position on the surface of the vases have obviously been chosen in accordance with strict rules. These rules display a hierarchy within the elements making up the ornamental patterns. I will first try to explain these rules in order to understand how the syntax of the Naqadan ornaments works and then compare them with a broad outline of the oldest hieroglyph writing syntax which is known, that of the Old Empire.
Categories of Control. Development of Cylinder Seal Glyptic within the Context of Egyptian State Formation
Authors: Hill Jane A.
Published: March 2022

Employing a wide variety of excavated material from Egypt and neighboring regions, this study re-evaluates the sylistic development of seals and sealings during the coalescence of the Egyptian Dynastic state. The author proposes that cylinder seals and sealings found in Cemetery U at Abydos, at A Group Lower Nubian sites and at the Egyptian trading post of ‘En Besor in southern Palestine provide a continuum of glyptic development from the Naqada IId period (ca. 3480 BC) to the end of Dynasty 0 (ca. 3110 BC). This continuum reflects early contact with southern Mesopotamia and her colonies, but also the spreading influence of Upper Egyptian culture, the gradual development of the Egyptian hieroglyphic writing system and the growing ascendancy of an all-powerful monarchy. This glyptic seriation system was developed by dividing the images of the Abydos Cemetery U cylinder and stamp seal impressions into categories based primarily on dates determined by radiocarbon and archaeological evidence and secondarily on the basis of composition, style and motifs. These groups are then examined to determine whether different groups indicate different semiotic categories, using a system suggested by Mesopotamian cylinder seal studies. The sealings are then compared and contrasted with other Predynastic Egyptian artworks. The stylistic development of cylinder seals and sealings at Abydos is uses as a basis for discussing other Predynastic seals and sealings from sites with Egyptian-influenced material culture in Lower Nubia, dating to the Naqada IIIb-c period, and southern Palestine, dating from late Dynasty 0 to Dynasty I. The semiotic categories denoted by the glyptic from these different sites provide indications of the types of interactions taking place between social networks and bases of power within Egypt and between Egypt and her nearest neighbors.
De la figure au signe d’écriture
Authors: Christin Anne Marie
Published: March 2022

Le point de vue que j’adopterai pour traiter du rôle de l’image dans la genèse de l’écriture sera celui de l’alphabet. C’est en effet en définissant la lettre comme un « élément », à la suite de Platon, que les Grecs ont introduit dans l’histoire une conception finaliste de l’écriture qui ne pouvait qu’en discréditer par principe les origines iconiques. Ce discrédit s’est trouvé renforcé par la conception de la « figure » induite par l’alphabet, celle d’être elle aussi un « élément » c’est-à-dire une unité fondatrice et distinctive, indépendante de son support. Ce n’est certainement pas un hasard si le « trompe-l’œil » est une spécificité de l’art occidental : il est la transposition directe de l’alphabet dans le domaine de l’image. Mais ces fermetures et ces occultations constituent également, par contrecoup, autant d’indices en quelque sorte « négatifs » qui nous indiquent la marche à suivre pour repérer dans l’image les prémices de l’écriture : il s’agit d’en identifier les manques, les oublis, les processus négligés ou méprisés. Je ferai quelques propositions en ce sens. « L’esprit géométrique » qui a présidé à l’invention de l’alphabet grec constitue un autre indice intéressant, et positif celui-ci : il témoigne de l’intervention d’une pensée analytique et abstraite dans la genèse de l’écriture, dont on a tout lieu de supposer qu’elle ne se manifeste pas seulement à l’étape ultime de son histoire mais qu’elle en a déterminé le processus initial. On cherchera à en trouver des preuves dans le graphisme figuratif fantastique.
Les sépultures monumentales à usage collectif de Grande-Bretagne
Authors: Sévin-Allouet Christophe
Published: March 2022

Les sépultures monumentales à usage collectif émergent en Grande-Bretagne dans les premiers siècles du 4e millénaire av. J.-C. Cet événement suit de peu le passage des populations de chasseurs-cueilleurs vers un mode de vie néolithique. Corollaire de cette « révolution néolithique », la monumentalisation des sépultures et la pratique des dépôts collectifs au sein de ces dernières semblent en être un élément structurant. Se fondant sur des concepts empruntés à l’éthologie et à la philosophie phénoménologique, cet article interroge le rapport à l’espace qu’ont entretenu les premières communautés de bâtisseurs. Le choix de localisation des monuments dans le paysage, l’architecture de ces derniers, et enfin la gestion des dépôts funéraires, apparaissent comme autant de témoignages de processus d’objectivations des espaces. L’article interroge en dernier lieu la nécessité pour notre discipline de dépasser l’apparente ligne de faille entre approches positiviste et phénoménologie.
Space and Episodic Ritual at the monumental Neolithic round mound of Duggleby Howe, North Yorkshire, England
Authors: Gibson Alex
Published: March 2022

Since its excavation in the late 19th Century, the large mound at Duggleby Howe, Yorkshire, has long been regarded as one of the largest and most important Neolithic barrows in Britain. It covers a series of richly accompanied inhumation and cremation burials. A recent dating programme and small excavation over the surrounding causewayed ditch has shown that the burials started at the beginning of the British middle Neolithic in the middle of the 4th millennium but that the mound was not constructed until some 500-600 years later in the 29th century cal BC. Aggrandisement of the mound continued for a further 500-600 years. The barrow can longer be seen to be a single event but rather the final stage in an episodic development culminating in the enclosing of the mound in a large reserved area and its monumental chalk capping.
The essence of the dolmen
Authors: Cummings Vicki , Richards Colin
Published: March 2022

This paper discusses a form of Neolithic monument found in Ireland and western Britain. It is argued that ‘dolmens’ are a distinctive type of monument, where the key characteristic is the use of enormous capstones which were lifted up and displayed on smaller upright supporters. These monuments were not built in order to create a chamber area, but were displays of important stones and astonishing feats of engineering. Considerable social prestige could be gained or lost through the construction of these monuments, and the paper details some examples which clearly ended in disaster. Finally, this paper suggests that dolmen construction originated in France, amongst communities who had a long tradition of building with big stones. The idea that these monuments were part of a Neolithic package introduced into Britain some time around 4000 BC is also challenged.
Iconographie funéraire et espace architectural dans les hypogées néolithiques de Sardaigne
Authors: Robin Guillaume
Published: March 2022

Depuis les années 1950, les études iconographiques consacrées à l’art des hypogées funéraire néolithique de Sardaigne se sont essentiellement intéressées au contenu des représentations (classements typologiques) et à leur chronologie (périodisations chrono-stylistique). L’article propose d’aborder le contexte spatial de cet art en examinant les formes récurrentes d’emplacement des motifs sur les supports architecturaux (parois, portes, piliers, plafonds) ainsi que la distribution de l’iconographie dans la planimétrie complexe des tombeaux. Les résultats empiriques de cette analyse donnent l’occasion d’un bilan critique des approches actuelles de l’art funéraire sarde et invitent à repenser le cadre théorique et conceptuel de ce champ disciplinaire.
Houses of living and houses of dead in the Neolithic and Copper Age of Central Europe
Authors: Turek Jan
Published: March 2022

One of symbolic roles of Neolithic long houses in central Europe might have been burial of ancestors. There is no solid evidence for the funerary function of long houses, however, it is commonly assumed (Bradley 2001). Already during their dwelling function some houses were possibly used for primary deposition of remains of ancestors. The burials were later in the time of abandonment of the house removed elsewhere or remained resting inside the building. This is the process of transformation from the house of living to the house of dead. The main purpose of the second part of the paper is to discuss the question on missing evidence of barrows of the late Eneolithic Corded Ware and Bell Beaker period in Central Europe. Variety of problems of demographic representation of cemeteries, burial customs and spatial structure of funerary areas are connected to the missing barrows. I emphasise the variability of late Eneolithic funerary monuments, including the discussion on burial chambers and circular ditches, yet another type of funerary construction without an earthed mound that may be described as houses of dead.
Nouvelles recherches sur l’architecture, l’orientation et la situation des sépultures mégalithiques entre Hérault et Rhône
Authors: Châteauneuf Florent , Ambert Paul , Requirand Claude , Colomer Albert , Beaumes Bernard
Published: March 2022

Depuis la publication des thèses de J. Arnal (Arnal 1963) et d’Y. Chevalier(Chevalier 1984), l’étude architecturale des dolmens entre Hérault et Rhône n’a pas connu d’évolution majeure. Pourtant, les recherches récentes enregistrent des faits nouveaux, à l’échelle locale ou régionale, allant dans le sens d’une plus grande diversité. Nous présentons ici quelques-unes de ces pistes de réflexion. Une vingtaine de dolmens à couloir de la région de Montpellier ont des dalles de chevet se réduisant progressivement vers le haut. De cette façon, les dalles latérales épousent étroitement l’inclinaison des flancs du chevet. Ainsi, la dalle de couverture de la tombe est sensiblement réduite par rapport à la surface d’inhumation, mais il en résulte surtout un meilleur équilibre de la totalité de l’édifice. En Ardèche, des dolmens simples utilisent cette même technique. Toujours dans la région de Montpellier et du Larzac oriental, l’orientation des dolmens à couloir est fondée sur le coucher du soleil au solstice d’hiver (Sud-Ouest), tandis que les dolmens ardéchois s’ouvrent au Sud-est. L’implantation des dolmens dans les paysages n’est pas fortuite. Plusieurs sont construits en position très dominante, d’autres, juchés sur des reliefs plus modestes, valorisent la tombe dans son environnement proche.
The megalithic tombs of the Spanish Northern Meseta. Material, political and ideological ties between the Neolithic people and their territory
Authors: Villalobos García Rodrigo
Published: March 2022

The Spanish Northern Meseta, a region of Central Iberia, shows a rich and diverse megalithic heritage. The analysis of the 4th millennium cal BC domestic and funerary archaeological record from this region offers strong evidence on Late Neolithic territorial, ritual and political behaviour. This paper tries to find out the role of the collective monumental tombs within these questions. Some this evidence relates to 1) the development of non-funerary activities at the megalithic monuments; 2) the relationship between megalithic monuments and the domestic life; and 3) the presence of lavish amount of grave goods in some of the analysed burials. It is argued that during the Late Neolithic in this region the megalithic monuments served as a milestone for many of the physical and symbolic social needs.
Jean-Pierre Bocquet-Appel’s contributions to paleodemography
Authors: Konigsberg Lyle W. , Frankenberg Susan R.
Published: March 2022

Bocquet-Appel’s most highly cited work was his article with Claude Masset published in 1982 in the Journal of Human Evolution: “Farewell to paleodemography.” Indeed, this article has been cited over twice as much as Bocquet-Appel’s second most cited article (“When the world’s population took off”) from the journal Science. While on the surface Bocquet-Appel and Masset’s “Farewell” might be taken as a literal adieu, the article functioned as a clarion call for a paradigm shift in paleodemography. The article pointed out a problem later to be known as “age mimicry,” it questioned the statistical basis for age estimation in paleodemography, and it introduced new demographic estimators that were related to life table parameters while being relatively resistant to biases. Had Bocquet-Appel simply stopped at this point, his contributions to paleodemography would have been substantial. Instead, he continued to publish and push for improvements in paleodemographic methods. While others toiled on maximum likelihood methods, Bocquet-Appel was at the vanguard of those developing Bayesian methods in paleodemography. Although these Bayesian methods were crystalized by others, it is questionable whether they would have done so without Bocquet-Appel’s work in and following his “Farewell to paleodemography” with Masset.
Paleodemography and statistics: a tale of uncertainty
Authors: Caussinus Henri
Published: March 2022

Jean-Pierre Bocquet-Appel pioneered statistical methods to estimate the age structure of adults in a skeletal population. He was at the forefront of all the major advances: from calculating the estimate’s precision (he introduced the recent bootstrap technique into palaeodemography) to the estimate’s adaptation to an age classe number greater than the number of indicator stages. This is the iterage algorithm based on an original idea that considers prior demographic knowledge of the estimated object. This kind of approach was later developed within a formal Bayesian framework. This context provides a good opportunity to review the evolution of the statistical methodology and offer some guidelines for their further improvement based on Jean-Pierre Bocquet-Appel’s fruitful and stimulating work.
Spatial analysis: a fertile ground for demography
Authors: Pumain Denise
Published: March 2022

For Jean-Pierre Bocquet-Appel, spatial variations were an intermediary in a multidisciplinary reasoning to fill the gaps in our information on past populations. We are following a parallel path to overcome our ignorance of the multiple spatial interactions that preside over past and present changes in settlement systems, especially for cities that became the dominant form of human habitat. I would like to show how spatial analysis coupled with computer models that make strong assumptions about spatial interactions could reconstruct urban populations’ evolutionary trajectories. Today, emerging methods for validating multi-agent systems allow us to identify which assumptions are not only sufficient but also necessary for this reconstruction, while the incremental construction of models allows for variable granularity in the transition from the general to the local.
Between paleodemographic estimators and “LBK” colonization in Central-Western Europe (c. 5,550-4,950 BCE): A tribute to the theoretical and methodological trajectory of Jean-Pierre Bocquet-Appel in the study of the first farmers of the “Old World”
Authors: Dubouloz Jérôme , Moussa Richard , Berger Jean-François
Published: March 2022

Jean-Pierre Bocquet-Appel has reintroduced and renewed the demographic issue in Prehistory, particularly in the analysis of the processes of diffusion of the agro-pastoral economy in the “Old World,” through his deconstruction/reconstruction approach of paleodemography (Bocquet-Appel and Masset 1982, 1996) and his research on the Neolithic/Agricultural Demographic Transition (ADT), carried out on a European (Bocquet-Appel 2002; Bocquet-Appel and Dubouloz 2003, 2004) and intercontinental scale (Bocquet-Appel and Bar-Yosef 2008; Bocquet-Appel 2009). The emphasis on a strong demographic growth linked to establishing a production economy was, therefore, the first stage of Jean-Pierre’s interest in this scientific question (Bocquet-Appel 2008).This research was the seed of his later investigations into the nature and pace of the diffusion of the agricultural system in Europe (LBK), first through 14C radiometric dating analysis, then through the analysis of the systemic conditions of this process (Bocquet-Appel et al. 2009, 2012). The construction of descriptive models articulating the apparent expansion of LBK with its environmental, technical, sociological, and cultural components was, therefore, the second expression of his commitment to this highly debated subject. This opened the way to an even more integrative advance, the theoretical modeling and computer simulation of past anthropological processes. Given the good archaeological evidence, the emblematic, self-evident case chosen for this approach was the diffusion of the Linear Pottery Culture (LBK) - the prehistoric period which corresponds to the introduction of the agricultural system in central and central-western Europe during the 6th and early 5th millennia before the Common Era (BCE). Since we have been involved in this endeavor from the early 21st c. and have contributed closely to several of these projects between 2002 and 2018, we shall present the essential elements of this multi-agent approach, the simulated products directly relevant to Neolithic archaeology, as well as the limits of this first simulation.

From craniometry to paleogenetics
Authors: Demoule Jean-Paul
Published: March 2022

French physical anthropology has persiste’d, longer than other countries, in measuring skulls and defining “races.” This tradition, developed in the 19th c. by the Société d’anthropologie de Paris and Paul Broca, continued until the 1980s with the work of Henri Victor Vallois and his school. The latter maintained ambiguous relations with the German physical anthropologists linked to Nazism, which continued after the Second World War and led to the awarding of the Broca Medal to the German anthropologist Ilse Schwidetzky in 1980. Jean-Pierre Bocquet-Appel has written a critical but relatively isolated critique of the role and work of Victor Henri Vallois. Although French physical anthropology abandoned craniometry to become “biological” from the 1980s onwards, we can nevertheless find in some current paleogenetic works, irrespective of their interest, the temptation to confuse biology and culture once again.

COVID-19 is caused by coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is a worldwide health crisis. This severe acute respiratory syndrome was declared an outbreak after the first case was reported in Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei Province in China. On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared it as a pandemic. The pharmaceutical treatment of COVID-19 has garnered significant critical attention due to the unavailability of medications to treat COVID-19. Recently, researchers have shown an increased interest in the monoclonal antibody drugs to treat COVID-19 especially REGEN-COV (casirivimab and imde-vimab). This review aims to highlight the relation between the drug and COVID-19 and the recently updated information on the monoclonal antibody REGEN-COV from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other authorities. It is also designed to focus on the bibliometric data of REGEN-COV for the last three years (2020, 2021, and 2021) in PubMed and Google Scholar.
Prevalence and Correlates of Negative Disposition to Marital Homogamy Among a Sample of Psychiatric Outpatients in Nigeria
Authors: Osasona Samuel O.
Published: March 2022

Objective:

Persons with mental illness (PWMI) have reduced chances of getting married to individuals without mental illness, yet, so much controversy surrounds the propriety or otherwise of a psychiatric patient marrying another psychiatric patient (marital homogamy). The factors that are associated with patients' disposition towards homogamy have received little attention from researchers, creating a gap in literature. In this study, I intended to examine the proportion of psychiatric patients that are negatively disposed towards marrying another psychiatric patient and to find the factors that are associated with their disposition.

Methods:

A descriptive cross-sectional design was used, and participants included 208 consecutive attendees at the psychiatric outpatient clinic of a tertiary hospital in Benin City, Nigeria. Data were collected from the participants using a sociodemographic data collection sheet and three standard instruments - the Bogardus Social Distance Scale, the World Psychiatric Association Stigma Questionnaire, and the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale.

Results:

About two-thirds of the patients (67.3%) were not willing to marry a psychiatric patient, citing concerns about heredity of mental illness; potential financial difficulty and lack of social/spousal support; and perceived dangerousness of psychiatric patients as the reasons. About two-thirds of them desired moderate to high social distance from another psychiatric patient. Three factors - the desire for low social distance (p < 0.001), belief that marriage is a necessity in life (p < 0.001), and belief that people with mental illness who recovered are eligible to marry (p < 0.001) - significantly differentiated between patients who were willing to marry a psychiatric patient and those not willing.

Conclusion:

Many patients in this study expressed a negative disposition toward marrying a psychiatric patient, yet previous researchers reported that they have reduced chances of marrying persons without mental illness. Appropriate intervention to address the factors that are related to their negative disposition may change their disposition and increase their chances of getting married, either to a nonmentally ill individual or a PWMI if they must not remain single all their life.
Digital Source Youtube; Evaluation of Covıd-19 Vaccine Rejection Videos
Authors: Beyoğlu Muhammed Mustafa , Erdoğan Ayşegül , Çevik Levent
Published: March 2022

Objective: Vaccine rejection is an important issue affecting human health. As social media platforms are the easiest and most accessible means of accessing information on health, their use has increased significantly. YouTube, is a frequently used video source on health at the global level. We aimed to evaluate the quality of the most watched YouTube videos for COVID-19 vaccine rejection. Methods: The key terms 'COVID vaccine rejection', 'COVID vaccine side effect', 'COVID vaccine refuse' was used for the videos. The reliability of the videos was assessed using the modified DISCERN scale. The Global Quality Scale (GQS) was used to evaluate the videos in terms of vaccine information. According to the results of the scale, the videos were divided into three groups as good/excellent quality, moderate quality and poor quality. Results: The videos were 30.4% (n=21) of good/excellent quality, 34.8% (n=24) of moderate quality, and 34.8% (n=24) of poor quality. Good/excellent videos had a significantly higher median DISCERN score (p<0.01). There was no significant difference between daily median views (p=0.779), daily comments (p=0.148) and likes rates (p=0.551) according to video quality. Conclusion: E-source; Youtube contains a significant amount of data on health-related services. However, some of this information is inaccurate or of insufficient quality. Physicians should warn their patients when using digital resources, direct them to the right resources, and demonstrate the importance of digital resource evaluation.
The Role of Hemogram and Inflammatory Markers in The Diagnosis of SARS-COV-2
Authors: BOYACI İHSAN
Published: March 2022

Objective: In the last months of 2019, a new coronavirus was identified as the cause of a series of pneumonia cases in the city of Wuhan, China. It spread rapidly and caused a global epidemic. The disease has been termed severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) over time. This study aims to use it for diagnostic purposes by comparing hemogram (CBC) parameters, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and inflammatory marker ratios such as Neutrophil/Lymphocyte (NLR), Thrombocyte/Lymphocyte (TLO) with the PCR test results of patients with a pre-diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 in the outpatient clinic. Materials and Methods: PCR test was performed on 1329 patients who applied to the Internal Medicine outpatient clinic of Istanbul Medipol University Faculty of Medicine with symptoms similar to SARS-CoV-2, and simultaneous CBC and CRP were requested. 515 individuals with positive test results and 814 individuals with negative results were divided into two groups. CBC, CRP, NLR, TLR, Thrombocyte/Neutrophil (TNO) and CRP/Lymphocyte (CLO) ratios were evaluated retrospectively. Results: Age, CRP, TNO, TLO, CRP/Neutrophil (CNO), CLO, CRP/Thrombocyte (CTO) and CRP/Monocyte (CMO) were significantly higher in the group with positive PCR test, however, leukocytes, thrombocyte, neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, basophil and Thrombocyte/CRP (TCO) were found to be significantly lower. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of hemoglobin, monocytes and NLR (p˂0.05). When the multiple binary logistic regression model is applied, it is seen that leukocytes, thrombocyte, eosinophils, basophils, CMO and TCO show a significant decrease in PCR positive status, while hemoglobin, monocytes and TLR increase (the overall accuracy of the model is 78.3%). Conclusions: It was concluded that a total of nine parameters can be used for diagnosis in SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Published: March 2022

Aim: To examine nurses’ knowledge, behaviors, and practices about breast cancer. Material and Methods: The universe of this descriptive and cross-sectional study consists of 535 nurses working at Fırat University Hospital in Elazıg-Turkey and 495 of them were contacted. Study data were obtained using a survey form aiming to determine the sociodemographic characteristics, knowledge, and behaviors of nurses about breast cancer and early diagnosis methods. Data were examined using numbers, mean values, percentages, and the Chi-Square test. Results: The mean age of participants was 29.46±7.27 years, 88.7% were female, and 46.7% were single. Although 65.6% of nurses perform breast self-examination (BSE), only 15.9% were regularly implementing this method. The percentage of those having complete command of BSE was 52.2%, whereas the percentage of those having no knowledge was 12.3%. The ratio of having clinical breast examination (CBE) by physician was 15.4%. The ratio of having mammography was 53.6%. Advancing age, considering the knowledge on breast cancer sufficient, and following the scientific publications on breast cancer were found to have a statistically significant effect on implementation of early diagnosis methods (p<0.05). Conclusion: Since nurses are healthcare professionals, it was determined that they do not have sufficient knowledge of BSE and the percentage of implementing early diagnosis methods for breast cancer was low. Interventions should be made to support the nurses’ knowledge and behaviors related with breast cancer and early diagnosis methods with educational instruments and to determine and minimize the factors preventing the implementation of protective health behaviors.

Published: March 2022

Objective: This study aimed to retrospectively assess the hospital records of patients admitted to the emergency department of a training research hospital and diagnosed with a mental/psychiatric disorder. Material-Methods: In our study, medical records with pre-diagnosis of psychiatric disorder were scanned retrospectively in the electronic environment from the applications made to the emergency department of a training and research hospital in a one-year period covering 2017. The data were collected using a form prepared as per the current literature and developments. Using descriptive statistics, socio-demographic and health history characteristics and clinical diagnoses were evaluated. Results: It was determined that 84.04% of all patients that were admitted to the emergency department for mental health reasons were diagnosed with code F41 (other anxiety disorders), that 23.60% were in the 15-24 age group, and that 69.50% were female. The emergency department admission characteristics of the subjects were as follows: 10.60% of all admissions were made in July, 48.20% were made between 16:01-00:00, 5.00% were referred to psychiatric consultation, 93.60% received ambulatory follow-up, and 12.90% were admitted to the emergency department two or more times within one year. Conclusion: The most common diagnosis was “other anxiety disorders” and the majority of the patients were young adults and female. Since emergency departments are among the first places where individuals seek medical care for mental health, we believe that our results will help structure emergency psychiatric services.

The puspose of the current study was to examine the relationship between the psychological resilience and life balance points among nurses. The study design was descriptive and cross-sectional, and conducted with 155 nurses. Data collection instrumetns included a Demographic Form, the Resilience Scale for Adults, and the Juhnke-Balkin Life Balance Inventory- Turkish Form. T-test, one-way ANOVA and correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data. The total mean score of the Resilience Scale for Adults of the nurses was determined as 124.30±19.61. Nurses' Juhnke-Balkin Life Balance Inventory sub-dimension mean scores were; General Health 32.83±6.73, Quality of Relationship 24.14±5.7, Positive Orientation 25.84±6.13, Depression 19.21±4.85, Spiritual Support 22.47±5.48, Friendship/Intimacy 18.85±3.97, Career/Occupation 15.84±3.94, and Sleep Difficulty 17.54±4.17. Negatively low level between the Resilience Scale for Adults and Juhnke-Balkin Life Balance Inventory Sleep Difficulty sub-dimension (r=-0.172, p=0.032); A low negative correlation was found between the Adult Resilience Scale, Structural Style sub-dimension and the Juhnke-Balkin Life Balance Inventory Quality of Relationships sub-dimension (r=-0.165, p=0.040). The Resilience Sacale for Adults, Family Cohesion sub-dimension and Juhnke-Balkin Life Balance Inventory Quality of Relationships (r= -0.182, p=0.024); a low negative correlation was found between the sub-dimensions of Positive Orientation (r=-0.170, p=0.035) and Friendship (r=-0.170, p=0.034). There was a low level of positive correlation between the Resilience Scale for Adults's, Self-Perception sub-dimension and the Juhnke-Balkin Life Balance Inventory Career/Occupation (r=0.239, p=0.003) and Sleep Difficulty (r=0.231, p=0.004) sub-dimensions. A low level of positive correlation was determined between the Social Resources sub-dimension of the Resilience Scale for Adults and the Juhnke-Balkin Life Balance Inventory Positive Orientation (r=0.161, p=0.046) sub-dimension. A low level of negative correlation was found between the Resilience Scale for Adults Scale, Social Resources sub-dimension and the Juhnke-Balkin Life Balance Inventory Sleep Difficulty (r=-0.212, p=0.008) sub-dimension. The psychological resilience levels of the nurses are above the average. Nurses' concepts of resilience and life balance may differ based on socio-economic based demographic characteristics such as age, marital status, and economic status.
Las cooperativas escolares de nivel básico en México: balance y perspectivas desde la educación cooperativa
Authors: Olguin Andrade Sugeyli Donaji
Published: March 2022

A partir de una revisión histórica y teórica de los fundamentos de las cooperativas escolares y su vínculo con la educación cooperativa, este artículo remarca su pertinencia como medio para solventar la problemática educativa en México caracterizada por la falta de adecuación de sus pautas hacia las necesidades de infantes y adolescentes, sectores desprotegidos en el marco de las políticas neoliberales. La actual crisis socioeconómica en el país requiere que desde las escuelas básicas se formen individuos que respondan a las necesidades de sus comunidades y contribuyan a reducir las brechas existentes entre la educación ofrecida por los sistemas educativos formales y las necesidades locales y productivas. Haciendo un contrapunteo con las experiencias de Canadá y Argentina, esta indagación expone la forma en que las cooperativas escolares en México alcanzaron su auge en la década de 1930 y encontraron su declive ante la desprotección gubernamental y el posterior arraigo del neoliberalismo. Se propone así que la reactivación jurídica de estas organizaciones tiene el potencial de contribuir a la formación de individuos en valores solidarios, humanos y transformadores para la consecución de un modelo social y económico más justo. Reincorporación que será posible a partir de la acción conjunta entre universidades, el movimiento cooperativo y las entidades gubernamentales

El rabdomioma es un tumor benigno de células miocárdicas poco frecuente usualmente múltiple con localización común es la pared del ventrículo izquierdo. Su curso generalmente es asintomático, pero puede asociarse con arritmias y obstrucción cardiaca con impacto hemodinámico severo y elevado riesgo de mortalidad. Presentamos un caso clínico de 37 semanas de gestación con diagnóstico ecocardiográfico prenatal de tumoraciones intramiocardicas múltiples, obtenido por vía vaginal con un APGAR de 5/7 y bradicardia (FC < 100 lpm), por lo que recibe apoyo ventilatorio en fase III. Presenta taquicardia supraventricular de QRS estrecho con frecuencias cardiacas entre 180 y 190 lpm. Se inicia tratamiento con alfa, beta bloqueadores y Everolimus que redujo las tumoraciones ventriculares en 54y 100%.  El protocolo de diagnóstico neurológico mostró en estudio electroencefalográfico paroxismos multifocales de onda aguda en regiones bifrontales y temporales con predominio frontal izquierdo y Resonancia Magnética cerebral con nódulos subependimarios bilaterales de predominio derecho y túber subcortical en la región prerolándica izquierda. Panel genético con variante heterocigota sin sentido del gen TSC1. Se establece diagnóstico de Esclerosis Tuberosa. En conclusión, el Rabdomioma es un tumor de histología benigna poco frecuente, pero con repercusión hemodinámica importante con comportamiento sombrío cuando se asocia con arritmias supraventriculares de difícil control a pesar de la regresión de las tumoraciones ventriculares.

Las cadenas agroalimentarias generan subproductos, como pastas de soya y canola para alimentación animal. Su valor nutrimental es variable y debe analizarse para un mejor control de calidad, antes de su inclusión de dietas balanceadas. El objetivo fue determinar el contenido y digestibilidad ileal aparente y estandarizada de proteína y aminoácidos (AA) de pastas de soya (PS) y canola (PC), como fuente de proteína en dietas para cerdos en finalización. El diseño experimental fue en cuadro latino repetido 3×3 y los tratamientos fueron T1: PS+almidón de maíz, T2: PC+almidón de maíz, y T3: almidón de maíz, los cuales se asignaron aleatoriamente a seis cerdos con cánula en el íleon distal (PV 75±1.2 kg). Las variables fueron contenidos y digestibilidad ileal aparente e ileal estandarizada de aminoácidos en pasta de soya y canola. Para determinar la digestibilidad se adicionó oxido crómico a las dietas. El contenido de proteína y grasa fue mayor en la pasta de soya. El contenido de cenizas, fibra cruda, fibra detergente neutra, fibra detergente ácida, fósforo y calcio fue mayor en la pasta de canola. El contenido de aminoácidos esenciales fue mayor en la pasta de soya, pero metionina fue mayor en la pasta de canola. La digestibilidad ileal aparente (DIA) de los aminoácidos totales fue similar (p > 0.05) entre ingredientes; pero para lisina y treonina fue mayor (p ≤ 0.05) en la pasta de soya, excepto metionina. La DIA de metionina fue 89.78 %, 3.88 % mayor (p ≤ 0.05) en pasta de canola. La digestibilidad ileal estandarizada (DIE) de aminoácidos totales fue similar (p > 0.05) entre ingredientes, pero lisina y treonina fueron mayores (p ≤ 0.05) en pasta de soya. La DIE fue diferente (p ≤ 0.05) entre ingredientes para todo aminoácido, excepto metionina. Las digestibilidades ileal y estandarizada de todos los aminoácidos fueron mayores en pasta de soya, excepto metionina, la cual fue mayor en pasta de canola. La DIA del total de aminoácidos fue similar en ambos ingredientes, excepto lisina y treonina en pasta de soya, y metionina en pasta de canola.
AS CRIANÇAS E O PROCESSO DE APROPRIAÇÃO DA LINGUAGEM ESCRITA
Authors: Baptista Mônica Correia
Published: March 2022

O debate sobre Educação Infantil e alfabetização, durante décadas, rendeu-se a uma falsa questão: deve-se ou não alfabetizar na pré-escola? Mais recentemente, a produção acadêmica sobre o tema, documentos oficiais e as práticas pedagógicas vinham superando essa visão dicotômica e vislumbrando um trabalho com a linguagem escrita capaz de respeitar as especificidades da primeira infância. A Política Nacional de Alfabetização – PNA (2019) retrocedeu ao definir Educação Infantil como etapa preparatória para o Ensino Fundamental. Neste ensaio, advogamos que somente uma relação solidária, e não de sujeição, entre as duas etapas, garantirá trajetórias escolares exitosas, respeitosas com as crianças e suas infâncias e com seu direito de participar ativamente das culturas do escrito

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir questões relacionadas a relação ensino-aprendizagem da linguagem escrita, a partir de textos produzidos por crianças, em uma turma do ciclo de alfabetização, analisando atividades epilinguísticas realizadas durante o processo de reescrita de seus textos. Tratase de um estudo de caso realizado com crianças de uma turma do 3º ano ciclo de alfabetização. Fundamenta-se na concepção bakhtiniana de linguagem e nas proposições de Geraldi (2003) em relação ao ensino da língua materna. As autoras apontam que quando as condições de produção são instauradas, as crianças produzem textos e desenvolvem atividades epilinguísticas, na medida que os reescrevem, escolhendo diferentes recursos expressivos, fazendo autocorreções e reelaborações tendo em vista seus projetos discursivos, seus interlocutores e as razões de ser de seus textos
