Authors: Lei Fangyuan , Liu Xun , Dai Qingyun , Ling Bingo Wing-Kuen , Zhao Huimin , Liu Yan
Published: June 2020

With the higher-order neighborhood information of a graph network, the accuracy of graph representation learning classification can be significantly improved. However, the current higher-order graph convolutional networks have a large number of parameters and high computational complexity. Therefore, we propose a hybrid lower-order and higher-order graph convolutional network (HLHG) learning model, which uses a weight sharing mechanism to reduce the number of network parameters. To reduce the computational complexity, we propose a novel information fusion pooling layer to combine the high-order and low-order neighborhood matrix information. We theoretically compare the computational complexity and the number of parameters of the proposed model with those of the other state-of-the-art models. Experimentally, we verify the proposed model on large-scale text network datasets using supervised learning and on citation network datasets using semisupervised learning. The experimental results show that the proposed model achieves higher classification accuracy with a small set of trainable weight parameters.
The Mechanism of Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury and Its Association with Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Li Yanfei , Ren Ke
Published: June 2020

Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) is the third most common hospital-acquired AKI after AKI induced by renal perfusion insufficiency and nephrotoxic drugs, taking great adverse effects on the prognosis and increasing hospital stay and medical cost. Diabetes nephropathy (DN) is a common chronic complication of DM (diabetes mellitus), and DN is an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and CI-AKI. The incidence of CI-AKI significantly increases in patients with renal injury, especially in DM-related nephropathy. The etiology of CI-AKI is not fully clear, and research studies on how DM becomes a facilitated factor of CI-AKI are limited. This review describes the mechanism from three aspects. ① Pathophysiological changes of CI-AKI in kidney under high-glucose status (HGS). HGS can enhance the oxidative stress and increase ROS which next causes stronger vessel constriction and insufficient oxygen supply in kidney via vasoactive substances. HGS also aggravates some ion pump load and the latter increases oxygen consumption. CI-AKI and HGS are mutually causal, making the kidney function continue to decline. ② Immunological changes of DM promoting CI-AKI. Some innate immune cells and pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) in DM and/or DN may respond to some damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) formed by CI-AKI. These effects overlap with some pathophysiological changes in hyperglycemia. ③ Signaling pathways related to both CI-AKI and DM. These pathways involved in CI-AKI are closely associated with apoptosis, inflammation, and ROS production, and some studies suggest that these pathways may be potential targets for alleviating CI-AKI. In conclusion, the pathogenesis of CI-AKI and the mechanism of DM as a predisposing factor for CI-AKI, especially signaling pathways, need further investigation to provide new clinical approaches to prevent and treat CI-AKI.
Using Ultrasound-Treated Washout from Conifer Needles and Fresh Snow Samples in Air Pollution Monitoring
Authors: Kholodov A. , Tretyakova M. , Golokhvast K.
Published: June 2020

Snow precipitation and snowpack are commonly used to assess the condition of the aerial environment. Another way to monitor air quality is to study trees and shrubs, which are natural barriers for capturing air pollution, including atmospheric particulate matter. The hypothesis of the current study was that using fresh snow precipitation and washout from vegetation for the monitoring of air pollution can produce comparable results. In this study, we compared the results of laser diffraction analysis of suspended particular matter in melted fresh snow and ultrasound-treated washout from conifer needles. The samples were collected at several sites in Primorsky Krai, Russian Federation, and analyzed according to the same scheme. We observed that the content of particulate matter with a smaller aerodynamic diameter in the ultrasound-treated washout from conifer needles was higher than that in the melted fresh snow. The content of PM10 in the ultrasound-treated washout from conifers was increased by 6–27% depending on the site, showing greater efficacy of this method. This method can be used as an alternative to the sampling of snow for the monitoring of ambient air pollution, taking into account several limitations.
Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer/Crude Gossypol Compositions as Pour Point Depressants for Waxy Oil
Authors: Marenov Bekaidar T. , Nadirov Kazim S. , Zhantasov Manap K. , Nadirov Rashid K.
Published: June 2020

Wax deposition from crude oil that blocks the pipeline and increases the viscosity of the fluid is considered as a serious challenge for petroleum transportation. Employment of chemical additives, the so-called pour point depressants (PPDs), is widely used to solve this problem. Among them are the ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers (EVAc), containing a polyethylene segment along the backbone with vinyl acetate. To improve the performance of EVAc as PPD, the compositions of this polymer with crude gossypol (CG), isolated from the refined cottonseed oil soapstock, were prepared by joint milling in a ball mill. Prepared compositions were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), ultraviolet (UV), and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The pour point and viscosity of the crude oil from the Akshabulak oil field (Kazakhstan) were studied. The compositions with 10, 20, and 25 wt% of CG demonstrate better efficiency as PPD for crude oil than EVAc at the dosage of PPD of 50, 100, 250, and 500 ppm. The improved properties of the obtained PPD in comparison with the commercial EVAc is explained by the appearance of additional nonpolar and polar groups caused by the formation of the EVAc/CG composition.
Water Distribution System Pipe Break Failure Modeling and Analysis: Case Study of Kuwait
Authors: Alhumoud Jasem M. , Almashan Nourah
Published: June 2020

The Ministry of Electricity and Water (MEW), as well as other water authorities all over the world, is facing a difficult challenge in assessing the physical condition of its distribution systems. Since the majority of the mains are buried, the MEW must rely upon indirect methods, including analysis of repair records. A case study on Kuwait’s water distribution system using the techniques of survival analysis is analyzed and investigated for modeling the pipe break failures. The proportional hazard model has the advantage of being able to separate the effects of component deterioration on failure due to aging from the effects of site‐specific causes. Another desirable feature is its ability to analyze censored data. The sensitivity of the model parameters to sample size and percent censoring is examined through random sampling of the database. In addition, the proportional hazard model is suitable for describing failure rates of components.

Study on Optimization of Coal Truck Flow in Open‐Pit Mine
Authors: Bao Haiming , Zhang Ruixin
Published: June 2020

A semicontinuous process system consisting of a single‐bucket excavator, truck, crushing station, and belt conveyor is the main coal mining process system of a large‐scale hard coal open‐pit mine. Through analyzing the coal mining production process, the key issues of coal mining truck flow optimization are obtained. Statistical method of using triangular fuzzy numbers analyzes the key time parameters of coal mining truck flow. Taking one shift, the minimum expected value of number of trucks, as the objective function, the fuzzy expectation of the coal mining semicontinuous process system is established with the constraints of the truck flow continuity at the loading and unloading point, the production capacity of the electric shovel, the production capacity of the crushing station, coal quality, and coal mining production tasks. The truck flow planning model is solved using particle swarm intelligence algorithm. The simulation results show that the result of truck flow planning can effectively reduce truck number, truck dispatching number, transportation costs, and truck queuing. The fuzzy expected truck flow planning model established by the study is suitable for solving the problem of optimizing and matching the production capacity in the process which links electric shovel, truck, and crushing station. It can effectively improve the production efficiency of electric shovel mining, truck transportation, and crushing station.

Published: June 2020

Brugada phenocopies (BrP) are clinical entities that have EKG tracings similar to the congenital Brugada syndrome (BrS) but without ventricular tachyarrhythmias or sudden cardiac death. BrP is caused by various factors such as metabolic disturbances (electrolyte imbalance), drugs, mechanical compression of the mediastinum, and inflammatory conditions such as myocarditis or pericarditis. We present a very rare case of a young patient who had a Brugada phenocopy Type 1 suspected to be secondary to synthetic cannabinoids.

Authors: Jiang Nianping , Zhong Li , Zhang Chunlai , Luo Xiangguo , Zhong Peng , Li Xiaoguang
Published: June 2020

Background: There is substantial overlap in MRI findings between phyllodes tumors (PTs) and fibroadenomas (FAs). Our study was performed to investigate the value of conventional MRI texture analysis in the differential diagnosis of PTs and FAs. Methods: Preoperative MRI data – including axial T1WI, T2WIFS (T2WI with fat suppression), dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE)-T1WI2min and DCE-T1WI7min (T1WI post-strengthened for 2 and 7 min, respectively, on DCE-MRI) – of 45 patients with PTs and 67 patients with FAs were retrospectively analyzed. MaZda 4.7 software was used to manually draw the maximum ROIs at the same lesion level of the above MRI images. The optimized feature selection methods included Fisher’s coefficient, probability of classification error and average correction coefficient (POE + ACC), and mutual information (MI) as well as a combination of the above 3 methods (F + POE + ACC + MI [FPM]), respectively. The misclassification rates of PTs and FAs were compared between texture analysis and subjective diagnosis by radiologists. Results: The DCE-T1WI7min images had the lowest misclassification rate of 10.71% (12/112). The misclassification rate for the radiologists’ analysis (31.25%, 35/112) was higher than that of all the texture analysis, and there was a statistically significant difference between the radiologists’ misclassification rates and those from the FPM method in terms of the T2WIFS and DCE-T1WI2min images (all p < 0.05), and for the DCE-T1WI7min images by using the Fisher and FPM methods (all p < 0.05). Conclusion: Texture analysis of conventional MRI can be used as an assistant tool in providing a certain objective basis for differentiating PTs from FAs.
Narrowing down the Common Cytogenetic Deletion 14q to a 5.6-Mb Critical Region in 1p/19q Codeletion Oligodendroglioma-Relapsed Patients Points to Two Potential Relapse-Related Genes: SEL1L and STON2
Authors: Zhang Tao , Guzman Miguel A. , Batanian Jacqueline R.
Published: June 2020

Based on a literature review and our database, we report on the smallest 14q deletion identified in a brain tumor characterized by 1p/19q codeletion low-grade oligodendroglioma. In 2013, array-comparative genomic hybridization of the brain tumor revealed 1p/19q codeletion as a sole abnormality. In 2019, the patient relapsed showing additional abnormalities including a 14q deletion of 16.5 Mb at 14q24.2q31.3. This region overlaps with 2 previously identified minimal regions, 14q21.2q24.3 and 14q31.3q32.1, based on 142 cases of glioma. The authors reported no correlation between these 2 regions and survival. By extracting these 2 regions from our patient's deletion and comparing it to 12 other cases of 1p/19q codeletion oligodendrogliomas reported in the literature, we narrowed down the 14q loss possible critical region to 5.6 Mb mapping at 14q31.1q31.2. This region contains 2 potential relapse-related genes: SEL1L and STON2.
THE IDEOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF MODERN DOCTORS: PHILISOPHICAL AND BIOETHICAL ASPECTS
Authors: Khrystenko O. M.
Published: June 2020

The task of modern higher medical education in Ukraine is to provide professional training for future doctors on the relevant principles of philosophy and bioethics involving knowledge, values, attitudes and behavior within the category “moral responsibility of a doctor”.

This paper is dedicated to basic modern philosophical and bioethical concepts which are related to the moral responsibility of the doctor for human life, as well as analysis of their axiological essence.

Research methods: content analysis and comparative analysis.

Feminist bioethics seeks to show the special, exceptional value of a woman’s spiritual world; at the same time the dependence of her social position on the traditional patriarchal society is taken into account. Therefore, when it comes to abortion, women’s interests are dominant.

In contrast, conservatives and Christians protect the unborn child’s right to life. But now secularism, more assertive in Europe than elsewhere, proposes the exclusion of religious belief and expression from public life. In aspiring to be the legitimate judge of the religious sphere, secularism claims not merely separation from religion but control over it.

Besides, there is serious discussion on the morality of abortion under conditions of some medical indications, assumptions or forecasts. For instance, concerning a fetus with Down syndrome. On the one hand, this is a serious genetic disease that can cause a difficult life for the child and his or her parents. On the other hand, these special children can even be very talented and achieve great success in various fields of social life, especially in the arts and sports.

So, it is defined that ideological foundations of modern doctor must be based on the humanistic values’ system. It means that health, safety and life of human, including unborn child, have to be accepted as the highest values. Moral responsibility of doctor is related to implementing of these values into practice.

Authors: Humeniuk V. V.
Published: June 2020

Requirements of society to the level of training of future masters of medicine for pedagogical activity, able to improve the educational process on the basis of modern technologies, techniques and means of training in the conditions of dynamic transition from theoretical training to independent professional activity, emphasize attention on the revision of the goals, content of the educational process in institutions of higher education on preparation of masters of medicine for pedagogical activity, especially on methodology of development of experience of pedagogical activity at all stages of education. An important aspect of the process of forming the readiness of future masters of medicine for pedagogical activity in the conditions of institutions of higher medical education – is the choice of a set of methodological approaches and their corresponding principles, that influence on the choice of methods and means of training, the construction of a holistic process of vocational training. Considering the formation of readiness for pedagogical activity as a complex and multidimensional process, a full study of which cannot be carried out from one position, it is necessary to respond to axiological, systemic, competent synergetic, active and cultural approaches.

Having researched the problem of a high-quality preparation of future masters of medicine for successful independent pedagogical activity, it was summarized that this process will become more effective conditioning that the professional formation of future masters of medicine will occur as a result of their internal movement on the basis of reflection, self-analysis of their own pedagogical activity and the development of internal motivation for self-improvement and gaining pedagogical experience. This, at the same time, necessitates the improvement of the process of theoretical preparation of future masters of medicine, in particular the introduction of technologies of the activity type, aimed at the development of personal and professional qualities of future teachers in institutions of higher medical education.

The article is dedicated to the study of student writing abstract specificity by analyzing its linguistic features. The authors study the communicative and genre nature of the training abstract and propose the  classification of student abstracts according to the  different features. The analysis of the main types of speech genres that are inherent in students’ lecture notes are carried out: informative, compelling, etiquette and evaluating. It has been conducted a survey to find out the level of students’ in writing abstracts and distinguish the most popular forms of abstract’s writing. The analysis of multilevel criteria has allowed the authors to propose the functionally oriented typology of student abstracts, which takes into account the outside of their design, the specifics of the informative-semantic expression and composition, as well as lexical and grammatical indicators, including syntactic and punctuation. It has also been considered the role of the author in the abstract’s form as a participant of the communication, who seeks to successful communication with the lecturer.  The attention is focused on structural, vocabulary and syntactic components of the abstract. The conducted research has shown that the students were not taught how to make the abstract correctly neither at school nor at the university and everybody learnt and got used to make notes by himself. It gives the authors possibility to suggest this topic to be the necessary part of the curriculum for the first-year students at the universities of the different types.

Published: June 2020

The article analyzes the problem of forming a healthy lifestyle of students. The current approach to deteriorating youth health encourages the search for new ways to generate positive motivation for a healthy lifestyle and scientific research.

According to the literature data analysis, less than 15 % of students are considered healthy, 70 % of them have low and below-average levels of physical health, more than half (52.6 %) of them have different morphofunctional abnormalities, 36–40 % have chronic non-infectious diseases, which complicate the process of adaptation to physical and mental activity, impede learning lecture material as well as effective training at universities.

The aim of the research was to evaluate and analyze the components of a healthy lifestyle of students and on this basis to determine approaches to the introduction of health-saving technologies in the educational process of higher schools.

A survey of students revealed a lack of understanding of the simplest aspects of health care and an inability to assess one’s level of health adequately. 53 students (39.5 %) consider themselves healthy; 38 students (28.3 %) adhere to healthy lifestyles; and only 9 % of students regularly do physical exercises and sports. Only 25 % of them follow the diet. 82 % of students were well informed about the negative impact of bad habits on their health, but 66 % of respondents smoked cigarettes, including 43 % of women. 90 % of students occasionally consume alcoholic beverages, of whom 14 % often consume, and 8 % do not consume. Most of the respondents are confident in the absolute harmlessness of beer, which ranks the first place in the structure of alcoholic beverages consumed by students. But only 9 % of students regularly do physical exercises and sports.

Therefore, the priority goals of the modern stage of higher education modernization should be the preservation and strengthening of students’ health, the formation of value orientations, their awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle, the introduction of health-saving technologies into the educational process, as significant components in achieving career and life success of youths.

The article deals with current issues of functional literacy of the first year students at the medical universities. It has been emphasized the importance of adhering to the philosophical foundations of higher educational didactics. The main issues for the consideration in the article are the development of basic competences i.e. communication; digital media skills; training for self-improvement; social and civic skills; initiative and practicality; awareness and expression in the cultural sphere. The analysis of the content of normative documents, works of national and foreign scientists gave us possibility to make a conclusion about the difficulties in determining the essence of the main concepts. The study of the problem of functional literacy among students of medical faculties becomes especially relevant, because the anamnesis, communication of the doctor with the patient, and the medical council require special, purposeful preparation.
“INDICATION – QUALIFICATION – FRUSTRATION?”: TEACHING “GERMAN FOR HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONS”
Authors: Beck G.
Published: June 2020

To meet the high demand for qualified staff within the German healthcare system, nurses are recruited from abroad. For taking up a nursing job, they must, among other things, pass a language test to demonstrate German language skills at the B2-level of the Common European Frame of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The preparation for the test takes place in vocational language training courses, usually entitled “German for healthcare professions”, taught by teachers of German as a Foreign/Second Language (GFL/GSL). Teaching these courses, however, means to be confronted with considerable difficulties due to the lack of an adequate background in nursing and medicine. Based on my own experiences, this article addresses some of these challenges for teachers, yet also attempts to outline ensuing consequences for the training of future teachers in these Languages for Specific Purposes (LSP) courses for the medical professions. I argue that already during the course of study an intensified and demand-orientated language teacher training is pivotal with a more closely interlinked interdisciplinary cooperation with medicine departments and professional nursing.

“Mixing Media,” or the Bee and the Bonnet
Authors: Beloborodova Olga , Verhulst Pim
Published: June 2020

Despite Beckett’s claim of having a “bee in [his] bonnet” about “mixing media,” intermediality and transmedial adaptation were important sources of innovation for his writing, especially from the 1950s onwards. The present article analyses Play (1964) as a good example of this dynamic by demonstrating (1) how its genesis was influenced by Beckett’s experience with radio, and (2) how its own transmedial history proves that rather than rejecting “mixing media” in principle, Beckett’s ostensible insistence on “keeping our genres distinct” turns out to be an appeal to fully exploit the medium-specific properties of radio, theatre, film and television.
How It Is
Authors: Johnson Nicholas E.
Published: June 2020

After first developing a taxonomy of intermedial prose performance based on distinctions in how an audience member or user experiences the work phenomenologically, this essay offers a performance history of some unusual translations, adaptations and intermedial responses to Samuel Beckett’s novel How It Is. Examples range widely across media, from the audio recordings of Patrick Magee to the experimental jazz records of Michael Mantler, and from the recent stage work of Gare St Lazare to the art installation of Mirosław Bałka. Such works reflect the experimental character of the novel itself, forcing a reconsideration of the discourse of the ‘unperformable.’
Film’s Unmade Sequels
Authors: Tucker David
Published: June 2020

This essay explores the plans of 1982–1983 to produce a remake of and then a kind of sequel to Beckett’s 1965 Film. With access to the personal archive of the director who was planning these pieces, Damian Pettigrew, the essay traces the history of the shifting project and focuses on Beckett’s own direct involvement, evidenced in correspondence as well as notes taken of a number of face-to-face conversations between Pettigrew and Beckett. These conversations also throw light back on 1965’s Film with regard to influential films, locations and imagery that provide context to the original. At the same time, further correspondence reveals the involvement or near involvement in the Film remake of notable figures such as Jack Lemmon, Dirk Bogarde and Klaus Kinski.

To investigate the effect of ultrafine grinding pretreatment on the isolation of wheat straw cellulose fibers and nanocrystals, wheat straw at cellular scale (50–30 m) were produced with different ultrafine grinding time prior to extract cellulose fibers and nanocrystals. Cellulose
fibers were obtained by 4% sodium hydroxide and alkaline hydrogen peroxide treatment from ultrafine ground wheat straw. Morphological changes were observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed the removal of non-cellulosic components
and the rearrangement of hydrogen bonds in cellulose. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed the decrease of crystalline index with grinding time prolonged and the formation of cellulose II in alkali treated 8.0 h ultrafine ground wheat straw. Cellulose nanocrystals were produced from these
cellulose fibers using 64% sulfuric acid hydrolysis treatment. Morphological examination through atomic force microscope (AFM) showed that the length of rod-like CNCs decreased with prolonged ultrafine grinding time in 2.0 h and then increased due to the formation of cellulose II.

Currently, the progress for the treatment of black-odor rivers is not optimistic. One of the main reasons is that the public understanding of the influence of key elements for the formation of black-odor water still remains unclear. Studying the key elements in black-odor water is important
to determine the water quality conditions, evolution process, and mechanism underlying the formation of black-odor water, as well as to quantify the degree of black-odor water. In this study, the effect of total organic carbon on dissolved oxygen (DO) and oxidation–reduction potential
(ORP) values was studied by artificially simulating black-odor water. The contribution of inorganic sulfur (IS) and organic sulfur (OS) to the formation of black-odor water was discussed. The obtained results show that pure organic pollutants do not cause black-odor water. When the DO content
is below 1 mg/L and the ORP value decreases to –200 mv, metal sulfides begin to appear, followed by pungent odors such as H2S and volatile organic sulfur compounds (VOSCs). Both IS and OS contribute to the black-odor water. IS is more likely to form metallic sulfides than
OS; however, OS is more likely to produce pungent odors than IS.

A method based on solid phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography mass spectrometry was developed for volatile profiling fermented perilla leaves jiaosu (PFJ) during fermentation. Five fibers were firstly evaluated by the total peak areas and the number of volatile compounds.
Secondly, a Plackett-Burman design was applied to screen for seven independent variables selected in literature. Three significant variables (extraction time, extraction temperature and equilibrium time) were therefore selected for the following optimization studies. A Box-Behnken design combined
with a steepest ascent was then used to optimize the significant factors. Under optimal conditions, the changes of volatile profiles of PFJ at 7, 14, 21, 28, 91 and 140 d were analyzed. A total of fifty-one volatile compounds were identified, and alcohols (68.12–78.94%) were the main
volatile components in PFJ, followed by methoxy-phenolic compounds (4.67–5.48%). Perilla alcohol and trans-Shisool were the major constituents during spontaneous fermentation, which accounted for 16.14–30.66% and 19.95–24.52%, respectively. The results showed that PFJ fermented
into a health probiotic product with characteristic flavour and functional volatile compounds.
Strengths Matter: Evidence From Five Separate Cohorts of Justice-Involved Youth and Adults Across North America

This study examined the predictive validity of criminogenic needs and strengths as measured by the Youth Assessment and Screening Instrument (YASI) and the Service Planning Instrument (SPIn) within five different samples from Canada and the United States spanning 6,445 justice-involved youths and 46,127 adults (combined N = 52,572). Dynamic strengths consistently increased predictive accuracy beyond dynamic criminogenic needs. Furthermore, in a Canadian community adult sample ( N = 20,537), strengths attenuated recidivism rates in lower- and moderate-need-level groups but had no impact among higher-need-level groups. Relatedly, in an American, federal re-entry adult residential sample ( N = 23,615), strengths attenuated program completion success rates across all need levels, albeit the effect was slightly more pronounced in the lower- and moderate-need groups. Thus, dynamic strengths are more than merely the absence of dynamic criminogenic needs and should be actively considered during case management.
Collective Action and Political Change: Public and Semipublic Strategies of Brazilian Rural Movements (1990s–2017)
Authors: Delgado de Carvalho Priscila
Published: June 2020

A study of the Brazilian Movimento dos Pequenos Agricultores during recent moments of regime change suggests two main strategies for understanding the impacts of political change on social movement action: assessing the degree of political proximity between activists and the government and the presence or absence of institutional venues for interaction and looking beyond the public expressions of contention to consider semipublic action. When there is political proximity the public activities of movements tend to be less contentious, and when there are institutional venues for interaction protests will be routinized rather than disruptive. When proximity is lacking activists are likely to perform disruptive protests and to give priority to disputing meanings within society and within their own constituencies.

Um estudo do Movimento dos Pequenos Agricultores do Brasil durante momentos recentes de mudança de regime sugere duas estratégias principais para entender os impactos das mudanças políticas na ação do movimento social: avaliar o grau de proximidade política entre ativistas e o governo e a presença ou ausência de espaços institucionais para interação e olhar além das expressões públicas de discórdia para considerar a ação semipública. Quando há proximidade política, as atividades públicas dos movimentos tendem a ser menos contenciosas e, quando existem canais institucionais para interação, tende-se a rotinas de protestos pouco disruptivos. Quando falta proximidade, é provável que os ativistas dêem prioridade a protestos disruptivos e a disputas de significados na sociedade e dentro de seus próprios quadros.
Integrating Dehumanization and Attachment in the Prediction of Teen Dating Violence Perpetration

Dehumanization has the potential to account for different abusive behaviors because it involves making negative judgments of others that make it easier to harm them. However, research has not resorted to this mechanism to analyze teen dating violence (TDV) perpetration, nor has it examined its association with the broader representations of others linked to attachment. The first objective of this study was to analyze whether dehumanization of one’s partner (lesser perceived agency and experience) and attribution of evilness were associated with a higher level of TDV perpetration and specific attachment styles. The second objective was to develop a structural equation model (SEM) that allowed integration of the links between all these factors. Participants in this cross-sectional study were 1799 adolescents who completed a survey in high schools. The results showed that those who were classified as high in TDV perpetration did perceive lower agency, lower experience, and higher evilness in their partners. The dehumanized perception of one’s partner was found to vary according to the attachment styles, with those highest in avoidance (dismissive and fearful) dehumanizing their partners the most. The SEM showed that dehumanization is related to avoidant and not to anxious attachment. It also pointed to the relevance of attribution of evilness in predicting TDV perpetration. The invariance of the model was tested across gender subsamples. These findings allow better understanding of how violence may arise in early relationships and where to focus intervention with adolescents.
