LA ANTROPOLOGÍA DE LA HISTORIA. La memoria y los usos sociales y políticos del pasado. Exploraciones sobre la perpetua danza de la antropología y la historia
Authors: NÁJERA ESPINOSA Ozziel
Published: July 2019

El presente texto busca establecer los vínculos y limites teóricos que existen entre la antropología y la historia. Para ello se elabora un acercamiento que deja entrever las relaciones existentes entre la antropología y la historia, sus tensiones complementarias, las aportaciones metodológicas de una disciplina a la otra y las diferentes combinaciones que pueden resultar de tan sugestivo ejercicio. A la par se hace un repaso sobre las formas intrínsecas entre una y otra disciplina, la manera en que ambas se enlazan, así como los argumentos que orientan hacia la separación y divorcio de cada materia. Para ello se realiza un recorrido que pone patente cómo es que la especialización disciplinaria de cada ciencia es por un lado necesaria al tratar de entender los fenómenos que se propone estudiar a profundidad; pero, por otro lado, pone de manifiesto sus efectos negativos colaterales, pues puede llegar a dejar de lado visiones, descubrimientos o puntos de vista que enriquecen a cada disciplina.

Responding to the Dutch Asylum Crisis: Implications for Collaborative Work between Civil Society and Governmental Organizations
Authors: Larruina Robert , Boersma Kees , Ponzoni Elena
Published: July 2019

Between 2015 and 2016, the Netherlands experienced an asylum crisis, one that directly affected organizations working with refugee reception and integration. Besides civil society and governmental organizations (CSOs and GOs), the period also saw individuals coming together to form emergent CSOs (ECSOs). We look at these organizations to determine whether their work brought a shift in Dutch practice and policy with regarding refugee reception. We also examine literature concerning crisis governance, participatory spaces, and refugee reception governance. Finally, we investigate the views and experiences of individuals from selected organizations that played an active role during the crisis. This explorative research is based upon a qualitative and interpretative study involving panel discussions, document analysis, and interviews, conducted between 2017 and 2018 by the Refugee Academy at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. We show circumstantial and interorganizational elements that enhanced and hampered interactions between ECSOs, CSOs, and GOs. We argue that shared activities during the crisis may have created possibilities for durable forms of collaboration and for the inclusion of civil society groups in a debate mostly dominated by GOs.
Making Gendered Healthcare Work Visible: Over-Looked Labour in Four Diverse European Settings
Authors: Bradby Hannah , Phillimore Jenny , Padilla Beatriz , Brand Tilman
Published: July 2019

Healthcare has long been a gendered enterprise, with women taking responsibility for maintaining health and engaging with service providers. Universal healthcare provision notwithstanding, women nonetheless undertake a range of healthcare work, on their own account and on behalf of others, which remains largely invisible. As part of a multi-method comparative European study that looked at access to healthcare in diverse neighbourhoods from the point of view of people’s own health priorities, the concept of ‘healthcare bricolage’ describes the process of mobilizing resources and overcoming constraints to meet particular health needs. Bricolage mediates between different kinds of resources to meet particular challenges and describing these processes makes visible that work which has been unseen, over-looked and naturalised, as part of a gendered caring role. Drawing on 160 semi-structured interviews and a survey with 1,755 residents of highly diverse neighbourhoods in Germany, UK, Sweden and Portugal, this article illustrates the gendered nature of healthcare bricolage. The complex variations of women’s bricolage within and beyond the public healthcare system show how gendered caring roles intersect with migration status and social class in the context of particular healthcare systems.
The Discursive Appeal to Solidarity and Partisan Journalism in Europe’s Migration Crisis
Authors: Wallaschek Stefan
Published: July 2019

The article analyses the discursive appeal to solidarity in the mass media during the unfolding of Europe’s migration crisis. Solidarity was claimed by numerous actors in the public discourse to legitimise political decisions and mobilise public opinion. While it seems that the call for solidarity was shared by many actors, media studies show the ‘partisan journalism’ of media outlets. Thus, the political orientation of media outlets influences their coverage of public debates. Hence, to what extent do different quality newspapers cover the same solidarity claims in times of crisis? In order to answer this question, the crisis coverage of two German and two Irish newspapers with centre-left and centre-right political orientations is examined via the discourse network methodology. Germany is selected due to high political parallelism and a strong affectedness by the crisis, while Ireland is selected because of low political parallelism and a weak affectedness by the migration crisis. The findings demonstrate that partisan journalism persists during Europe’s migration crisis. Especially German party actors are present in both countries, underpinning the central position of Germany. Regarding the appeal to solidarity, political solidarity claims prevail in all four newspapers, indicating the political-institutional asymmetry in the Common European Asylum System. The study contributes to the strategic framing of concepts in public debates and demonstrates that the left-right distinction of media outlets is hardly affected by the migration crisis.
Solidarity as a Field of Political Contention: Insights from Local Reception Realities
Authors: Haselbacher Miriam
Published: July 2019

Reception realities are marked by contentious moves and a strong degree of politicization. Claims made for the inclusion/exclusion of asylum seekers frame the activities of local solidarity initiatives. Based on a set of data on newly opened accommodation centres since 2015 as well as comparative case studies conducted in small-scale and predominantly rural municipalities in Austria, this research explores the characteristics and manifestations of solidarity in the context of asylum. Results show how claims of solidarity are under pressure as they are deeply rooted in exclusionary frames of deservingness on the one hand and federal disputes about the adequate management of asylum systems on the other.
Reconstituting the Urban Commons: Public Space, Social Capital and the Project of Urbanism
Authors: Brain David
Published: July 2019

This article outlines a framework for connecting design-oriented research on accommodating and encouraging social interaction in public space with investigation of broader questions regarding civic engagement, social justice and democratic governance. How can we define the “kind of problem a city is” (Jacobs, 1961), simultaneously attending to the social processes at stake in urban places, the spatial ordering of urban form and the construction of the forms of agency that enable us to make better places on purpose? How can empirical research be connected more systematically to theories of democratic governance, with clear implications for urban design, urban and regional planning as professional practice? This framework connects three distinct theoretical moves: (1) understanding the sociological implications of public space as an urban commons, (2) connecting the making of public space to research on social capital and collective efficacy, and (3) understanding recent tendencies in the discipline of urban design in terms of the social construction of a “program of action” (Latour, 1992) at the heart of the professional practices relevant to the built environment.
Streets as Public Spaces: Lessons from Street Vending in Ahmedabad, India
Authors: Deore Prithvi , Lathia Saumya
Published: July 2019

Public spaces go beyond the typical definition of being an open space. They reflect the diversity and vibrancy of the urban fabric and hold the power to create memories. Among all public spaces, streets emerge as the most public. Streets are engines of economic activities, social hubs, and platforms for civic engagement. They break socio-economic divides and foster social cohesion. Planning, designing, and managing better public spaces have become important global discussions. Sustainable Development Goals (8 and 11) and the New Urban Agenda emphasize the significance of inclusive and sustainable economy and safe, accessible and quality public spaces for all. The proposed article uses the case of street vending to understand the manifestation of these goals in an Indian context by assessing street vendors’ role in Ahmedabad’s urban fabric through extensive spatial analysis of 4,000 vendors at four different time points of the day, perception studies of their clientele disaggregated by gender, income and age, and their relationship with surrounding land-use and street hierarchy. It showcases how street vendors make the streets more vibrant by increasing activities, safer through ensuring inflow of people, and inclusive in its true sense by allowing people from different backgrounds to participate in the exchange of goods and services. It further argues that street vendors are vital elements of more equitable and exciting streets and public space.

Published: July 2019

Este trabalho relata a preparação de dois compostos de coordenação de fórmula geral [M(OH2)2(NCS)2(nico)2], em que nico = 3-piridinacarboxiamida e M = manganês(ІІII) (A) e ferro(ІІ) (B). Estes compostos foram caracterizados por técnicas espectroscópicas (IV e UV-vis) e por difração de raios X de monocristal. As estruturas eletrônicas de A e B foram estudas através da Teoria do Funcional de Densidade (DFT) e do hamiltoniano semiempírico INDO/S, determinando-se a multiplicidade de spin do estado fundamental por meio das investigações das energias de campo autoconsistente e dos espectros eletrônicos UV-vis teóricos e experimentais. Os resultados indicam que as multiplicidades de spin dos compostos A e B são, respectivamente, S = 2 e S = 5/2. Houve boa concordância entre os espectros experimentais e aqueles obtidos por meio de modelagem molecular, o que reforça a sua utilização como ferramenta exploratória no estudo de compostos inorgânicos e de novos materiais.

Published: July 2019

A erva-mate é uma fonte de diversos compostos bioativos e por isto alvo de diversos estudos. O preparo de extratos a partir de suas folhas visa a extração de compostos benéficos à saúde, como polifenóis e antioxidantes. São descritas algumas metodologias de preparo de extratos aquosos e hidroalcoólicos de suas folhas em que tempo, temperatura, tamanho das partículas, proporção soluto-solvente e intensidade de agitação influenciam na qualidade do extrato obtido. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi de comparar e estabelecer condições de temperatura e tempo buscando os maiores teores de compostos fenólicos (TPC) totais e atividade antioxidante (%AA) nos extratos de erva-mate. Sete métodos descritos na literatura foram selecionados, sendo cinco para extratos aquosos e duas para extratos hidroalcoólicos. Os TPC foram determinados usando o método Folin-Ciocalteu, com modificações para protocolo de microplacas, e a %AA pelo método DPPH (1,1-difenil-2-picril-hidrazil). A análise quantitativa de TPC variou de 2.113 a 2.423 mg EAG L-1 para os extratos aquosos e 2.707 e 2.997 mg EAG L-1 para os extratos hidroalcoólicos. A atividade antioxidante variou de 39,8% a 55,27%. Os extratos que apresentaram maior TPC e %AA foram o extrato aquoso obtido a 85°C por 10 minutos de aquecimento e o hidroalcoólico obtido à temperatura ambiente (25-20°C) com 120 minutos de extração. Estes extratos podem ser adequados para adição em alimentos, adicionando capacidade antioxidante e propriedades funcionais.

A continuous net-like eutectic structure enhances the corrosion resistance of Mg alloys
Authors: Shuai Cijun , Yang Wenjing , Yang Youwen , Gao Chengde , He Chongxian , Pan Hao
Published: July 2019

Mg alloys degrade rather rapidly in a physiological environment, although they have good biocompatibility and favorable mechanical properties. In this study, Ti was introduced into AZ61 alloy fabricated by selective laser melting, aiming to improve the corrosion resistance. Results indicated that Ti promoted the formation of Al-enriched eutectic α phase and reduced the formation of β-Mg17Al12 phase. With Ti content reaching to 0.5 wt.%, the Al-enriched eutectic α phase constructed a continuous net-like structure along the grain boundaries, which could act as a barrier to prevent the Mg matrix from corrosion progression. On the other hand, the Al-enriched eutectic α phase was less cathodic than β-Mg17Al12 phase in AZ61, thus alleviating the corrosion progress due to the decreased potential difference. As a consequence, the degradation rate dramatically decreased from 0.74 to 0.24 mg·cm-2·d-1. Meanwhile, the compressive strength and microhardness were increased by 59.4% and 15.6%, respectively. Moreover, the Ti-contained AZ61 alloy exhibited improved cytocompatibility. It was suggested that Ti-contained AZ61 alloy was a promising material for bone implants application.

Published: July 2019

A compra e o consumo sustentáveis são ações vitais no desenvolvimento de estratégias em prol do meio ambiente e na busca de maneiras mais justas de existir, por meio de padrões sustentáveis de produção, consumo e uso dos recursos naturais. Estes temas estão levando as organizações a incluírem a sustentabilidade em suas estratégias, valendo-se o mesmo para a administração pública. Este artigo pretende investigar o status atual do processo de aquisições e contratações, baseadas em critérios sustentáveis, observando: a implementação ou não de compras sustentáveis na atualidade, o percentual de compras sustentáveis, os valores e as quantidades por modalidade. O foco principal são os resultados das compras sustentáveis efetuadas nos últimos 04 anos (2015, 2016, 2017 e até junho de 2018) no âmbito do Governo Federal do Brasil. Realizou-se uma pesquisa descritiva e documental, por meio de dados disponibilizados pelo governo. Os resultados demonstram a existência de compras públicas sustentáveis, porém ainda em quantidades bem inferiores às compras não sustentáveis, sendo que os órgãos do governo federal são atores vitais no sucesso de implementação dos critérios de sustentabilidade nos processos de aquisições e contratações públicas.

Authors: SANTOS Moacir José dos , Vieira Edson Trajano , SANTOS Divina De Fátima dos
Published: July 2019

O município de Caraguatatuba passou por um forte processo de urbanização, acompanhado de acentuado crescimento demográfico nas últimas décadas. O objetivo do artigo foi demonstrar como o rápido crescimento populacional no munícipio, derivado de uma forte migração nas últimas décadas, dificultou a formação das condições necessárias à constituição de capital social. O método consistiu na comparação entre dados secundários e os resultados produzidos mediante a aplicação de questionário para a caracterização do capital social da população de Caraguatatuba. Os resultados indicam que rápida expansão da população e o perfil das atividades econômicas presentes em Caraguatatuba produziu barreiras para a constituição do capital social. Conclui-se que as barreiras para o aumento da participação coletiva na elaboração das políticas públicas em razão da escassa confiança nas instituições e na efetividade da atuação coletiva, em relação ao poder público, decorrem das condições recentes da urbanização e expansão populacional.

The paper is devoted to the production of ceramic materials based on waste of non-ferrous and ferrous metallurgy without the use of natural traditional materials. The dependence between the amount of "tails" content of enrichment of polymetallic ores, chromite ore dressing wastes and the physical and mechanical properties of ceramic materials based on the clayey part of the "tails" of gravity of zircon-ilmenite ores was investigated. The dependence model is constructed on the basis of the results of the actual experiment and analytically describes the dependence of the experimental results. The regression analysis allows to obtain mathematical models that make it possible to predict the properties of ceramic masses at points not included in the series of experiments. Ceramic bricks with high physical and mechanical properties were obtained on the basis of waste from non-ferrous and ferrous metallurgy without the use of natural traditional materials.

Background: Routine collection and analysis of data allows a critical care department to highlight the outcomes of the interventions done and to identify the grounds for improvement. Data on characteristic and outcomes of patients admitted in intensive care units (ICUs) are lacking.
Methods: A software (ICU e-monitoring®) was designed to enter for each patient demographic data, SAPS3 on admission, Nine Equivalent Manpower Use Score, presence of medical devices and episodes of hospital acquired infections. We report data collected during 2014 with comparison to data collected with the same methodology in 2008 [1].
Objective: To determine the standardized mortality ratio, the mean length of ICU stay, mean length of mechanical ventilation and ICU acquired infection incidence rate.
Study design: Descriptive
Place of study: Medical ICU, Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences Islamabad
Results: A total of 196 admissions were recorded during the year 2014 vs 354 in 2008. 47.2% were males and 52.8% were females. Mean age was 32.1 years ± 15.3 SD (37.7 ± 18.9 SD in 2008). A total of 65 (33%) deaths were recorded during the year and standardized mortality ratio was found to be 0.71 vs 1.09 in 2008. Mean Length of stay was 15.9 Days ± 12.9 SD (9.3 days ± 8.9 in 2008) and mean duration of mechanical ventilation was found to be 12.04 Days (8.7 in 2008). Overall ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) rate was 42.3 cases per 1000 ventilator days. Rate of Catheter Related Blood Stream Infections (CRBSI) was found to be 17.2 cases per 1000 CVC days.
Conclusion: Major changes in our patient population characteristics were seen between 2008 and 2013: number of patients and standardized mortality was decreased while incidence of VAP and CRBSI was increased. It is possible to collect meaningful data on ICU performance and activity in resource limited settings.

Background: Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that was extensively used for treatment of gram positive infections. Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is recommended to optimize efficacy and safety of vancomycin. Data regarding TDM of vancomycin are scant in septic patients especially during augmented renal clearance (ARC) phase.
Methods: In this observational study, 39 patients with diagnosis of sepsis that were in ARC phase were evaluated. The breakpoint for serum trough level of vancomycin was considered as 15 mg/l. The patients were stratified in two groups based on the measured serum trough levels (< 15 mg/l versus ≥15 mg/l).
Results: Clinical response and microbiological clearance were compared between the groups. In terms of clinical response, there was no significant difference between the groups (P = 0.677). Also, the microbiological clearance was not different between the groups (P= 1.00).
Conclusion: Septic patients during ARC phase had comparable clinical and microbial responses regardless of serum trough levels of vancomycin.

Published: July 2019

Background: The purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness and side effects of diazepam and midazolam administration for conscious sedation in subjects who undergoing cataract surgery.
Methods: A total of 79 patients undergoing cataract surgery under topical anesthesia with conscious sedation were prospectively reviewed. Our subjects were randomly divided to two groups. The first group comprised of 38 cases receiving 0.05 mg/kg diazepam slow intravenously (diazepam group) and the second group comprised of 41 cases receiving 0.01 mg/kg midazolam intravenously (midazolam group). Intraoperative variables such as systolic and diastolic arterial pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen saturation were recorded immediately before sedation, 5, 10 and 15 minutes after diazepam or midazolam administration. All patients were contacted 24 hours after the operation for any early postoperative complications.
Results: The variability of systolic and diastolic blood pressure at 5, 10 and 15 minutes after sedation were statistically significantly higher in midazolam group compared to diazepam group. Six patients developed episodes of apnea during operation, two patients in diazepam and four patients in midazolam group. The surgeons’ satisfaction was more in diazepam group but not statistically significant. Need for additional dose of benzodiazepine was more in the midazolam group. Drowsiness and functional impairment during 24 hours after surgery were not significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusion: Diazepam produces better perioperative hemodynamic profile, level of sedation and surgeon’s satisfaction and less occurrence of apnea compared to midazolam group in patients who underwent cataract surgery.

Published: July 2019

Background: Traditionally normal saline is the most common crystalloid solution that is used in transplant surgery. Normal saline (NS) because of the higher risk of acidosis and higher levels of serum chloride may have more deleterious effects in kidney transplant recipients Thus; the aim of this study was to determine the safety of ringer lactate normal saline combination if used during a renal transplant.
Methods: One Hundred adults undergoing kidney transplantations were enrolled in a double-blinded randomized prospective clinical trial. They were divided into two groups in order to receive RL& NS and NS infusion as intraoperative IV fluid replacement therapy. All patients received 40 ml/kg fluid during surgery. Serum chloride, sodium, Cr and BUN were checked before operation and 6hour after surgery. Urine output BUN and Cr was also checked in 1, 3 and 7 day after surgery. At the end of surgery, we corrected the acid base status with bicarbonate according to base excess< -15 or PH<7.15 if needed in both groups.
Results: There was a significant difference in the serum chloride level (p= 0.001) and urine output (p= 0.003) between the two groups at the 6 hours after transplantations. Postoperative BUN and Cr level at 2,3 and 7 days in RL&NS group was significantly lower than group of NS (P= 0.011). Also, urine output during this study time was significantly higher in RL&NS group (p=0.001).
Conclusion: Combination of Ringer lactate &normal saline crystalloid solutions are associated with higher urinary output and most favorited out come in the early post-operative days after renal transplantation surgeries.

Background: Sore throat is one of the major complications of tracheal intubation after general anesthesia. Pregabalin is an analgesic, the anti neuropathic pain and analgesic effects of which have been demonstrated in various studies. This study examined the effects of single dose pregabalin one hour before tracheal intubation, to prevent sore throat after extubation.
Methods: In a double-blind, randomized clinical trial, 60 patients who had undergone general and urologic surgeries at Imam Reza hospital in Tabriz, Iran, since March to July 2015 that required tracheal intubation, were included in the study. The patients were randomly divided into two groups (group A, 30 patients and group B, 30 patients). In the group A, an hour before anesthesia, one pregabalin tablet (300mg) was given to the patients. For the patients of the group B, the placebo was given. After awareness of patients, the severity of sore throat was measured and recorded by VAS scale after 2, 6 and 24 hours of the surgery.
Results: Severity and incidence of sore throat after tracheal intubation were not significantly different between two groups. Meanwhile, no side effects of pregabalin were observed in the group A.
Conclusion: Administration of pregabalin as a single dose of 300 mg one hour prior to anesthesia and intubation decreased the incidence and severity of sore throat in the case group than the control group, although the amount of this reduction was not statistically significant between the two groups.
