Edgard Roquette-Pinto e a Reabilitação do “Homem Brasiliano”
Authors: Rodrigues Tiago Nogueira Hyra e Chagas
Published: January 2024

Este artigo analisa a trajetória científica e intelectual de Edgard Roquette-Pinto, em especial suas tentativas de provar, dentro dos paradigmas raciais (e racistas) vigentes no Brasil no início do século XX, que a população brasileira não era “inferior” ou “degenerada” como afirmavam as teorias então em voga. A metodologia aqui utilizada é baseada em revisão bibliográfica e documental, abrangendo as obras do referido autor, suas biografias, comentadores de seus trabalhos e documentos como atas de congressos, reuniões e relatórios científicos. Os resultados tentam argumentar que, apesar sua obra aparecer muitas vezes como paradoxal (pois se utilizava da mesma linguagem e métodos dos teóricos raciais), boa parte de sua carreira acadêmica foi dedicada a reabilitar e dignificar a nossa miscigenada população frente aos que a detratavam.
A questão da energia no Vale do Jequitinhonha: a produção da hidrelétrica de Irapé, Minas Gerais, Brasil e as comunidades camponesas
Authors: Cunha Joana D’Arc Oliveira , Pereira Gustavo Rovetta , Stocco Aline Faé
Published: January 2024

Este texto analisa a produção e os desdobramentos da implantação de hidrelétricas, em particular, a usina hidrelétrica de Irapé, localizada no município de Grão Mogol, MG-BR. Para isso, buscou-se dialogar com dados gerados a partir da metodologia “árvores de problemas” em quatro municípios atingidos pela hidrelétrica de Irapé: Grão Mogol, Cristália, Padre Carvalho e Josenópolis. A metodologia em questão foi aplicada com o intuito de compreensão da realidade das comunidades dessas localidades, como parte do projeto “Veredas Sol e Lares: uma alternativa para o múltiplo aproveitamento energético em reservatórios de usinas hidrelétricas na região do Semiárido Mineiro”. De modo geral, com a pesquisa, foi observado que as principais dificuldades para a reprodução socioambiental das famílias, são advindas, principalmente, do espólio de suas terras e da implantação de monocultivos de eucalipto e a própria usina em questão, em áreas que abrangem seus locais de habitação.
Moda "mais sustentável": processos e caminhos de duas marcas da cidade de Vila Velha-ES
Authors: Ribeiro Vanessa Endringer , Mozine Augusto Cesar Salomão
Published: January 2024

Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender o processo de concepção e produção de duas marcas de vestuário da cidade de Vila Velha-ES, que em suas práticas vinculam o fashion ao ecológico e como este aspecto se articula com seus processos produtivos promovendo uma "moda mais sustentável". A metodologia se desenvolveu por meio de pesquisa exploratória, calcada na aplicação de entrevistas discursivas, fundamentadas na perspectiva da ecologia política com base em Leff e Guattari. A pesquisa teve como foco em uma preocupação intergeracional relacionada a degradação ambiental e os riscos que ocorrem a partir dela são distribuídos de forma desigual, atingindo, especialmente, o que, na indústria fashion representa a transferência de externalidades e alto custo humano e ambiental. Os resultados deste estudo revelam que os discursos proferidos pelos criadores-gestores das duas marcas, embora dotados de intenção ecológica, nem sempre se articulam com suas práticas, estas ainda reféns dos processos do sistema capitalista vigente.

The Activity of the “Renaşterea” Priesthood Society from Oltenia, in the Socio-Cultural and Political Context from 1938–1940 and the Establishment of the Social Service Institution
Authors:   Institutul de Cercetări Socio-Umane din Craiova „C.S. Nicolăescu-Plopșor”, PĂUNOIU Diana-Mihaela
Published: January 2024

"This paper approaches one of the faces of transposition into practice mechanism of inter-institutional cooperation, enforced thru the Social Service law, in October, 1938. The case of the Priesthood Society “Renaşterea”, socio-professional society that united the active and retired priests and deacons from Oltenia, of which social activity interfered/intersected, mostly, with the activity of the new institution, can be considered a similar pattern also for the integration of other institutions and associations that activated prior to 1938 in the socio-cultural field. The analysis has in the centre the idea that the politic register of Carol II royal dictatorship was a reference point that should have been considered by all public institutions and organisations to operate. Based on the analysis of some archive documents (consisting in the reports of the “Renaşterea” Society, the correspondence between the representatives of the society and the administrative and cultural authorities), the two parts of the article highlights the organisational and functional complications the Social Service law caused to the “Renaşterea” Priesthood Society, and also the efforts of this socio-professional association to keep the continuity of its existence, and also the place earned over time within local communities. In this matter, the necessity of integration/connection of its activity with the newly formed institution appeared as a forced compromise solution, determined by the restrictive limits of the Carlist regime."
Enhancing disaster management in smart cities through MCDM-AHP analysis amid 21st century challenges
Authors: Bouramdane Ayat-Allah
Published: January 2024

In the era of rapid urbanization and technological progress, smart cities offer a promising solution to multifaceted global challenges, leveraging advanced technologies to optimize resources and enhance the quality of life; however, this interconnectedness also exposes them to novel vulnerabilities, particularly in the face of natural and man-made disasters, necessitating inventive strategies to ensure resilience against cyber threats and extreme weather events. This article delves into the exploration of smart cities’ diverse aspects and the categories of disasters they face, followed by an analysis of strategic mitigation approaches and their underlying criteria; it subsequently introduces the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making methodology, particularly Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), as a robust tool for systematic evaluation and prioritization of disaster management strategies in the increasingly complex landscape. The study’s analysis of relative weights underscores the pivotal role of resilience enhancement and communication redundancy as primary considerations in evaluating disaster management strategies for smart cities, while other criteria such as accuracy and timeliness, scaleability and adaptability, cost-effectiveness, ethical and privacy considerations, and training and skill requirements assume varying degrees of importance in supporting roles, providing valuable insights into the decision-making process. The assessment of alternative strategies highlights their prioritization in effective disaster management for smart cities, with notable emphasis on citizen engagement and education, early warning systems, and data analytics; further strategies such as integrated communication systems, resilient infrastructure design, drones and robotics, artificial intelligence algorithms, and IoT-enabled sensors and monitoring exhibit varying degrees of significance, offering insights into their roles and potential contributions to disaster management strategies based on their weighted sums. This research has practical significance, guiding stakeholders like urban planners, policymakers, and disaster management professionals to enhance smart city resilience and prioritize strategies based on critical factors, ultimately enabling effective disaster management in smart cities amid 21st-century challenges.

Understanding Collaborative Design Practice Through Self-Study
Authors: Allman Bohdana , Leary Heather
Published: January 2024

Designing online teacher professional development (oTPD) grounded in participatory practices is complex. An intense interdisciplinary collaboration of teacher educators, online learning experts, and instructional designers is needed. Achieving shared understanding is essential for successful collaboration, yet varied perspectives of interdisciplinary experts can cause tensions. Under the right conditions, conflict can be positive and productive. This study of collaborative design practice examined the process of aligning technology and pedagogy when designing participatory oTPD using the self-study methodology. Data analysis revealed relevant interrelationships and uncovered a consistent pattern related to purposeful use of technology. While self-study was an effective inquiry method and provided valuable insights into our practice, it also fostered an environment of trust and collaborative knowledge exchange necessary for successful joint problem solving, cognitive synchronization, and innovation in interdisciplinary design teams.

Background: Cervical cancer is the leading cause of mortality among reproductive women in resource constrained countries especially among the HIV infected group. HIV infection accelerates the transition of  cervical dysplasia to invasive cervical cancer. An overview of the risk factors among the HIV infected women  in this county is significant despite the paucity of data in this setting.

Objective: To determine the risk factors of invasive cervical cancer in HIV-infected women in Kisumu County. Methodology

Study design: An unmatched 5 year case control study from 2012-2016.

Study setting: Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital, largest hospital in Western Kenya. Study population: A total of 200 patient records, 100 cases and controls each.

Data collection and analysis : A structured questionnaire was used as a standard tool for extraction of data  from both cases and controls. The determinants of invasive cervical cancer were analyzed using univariate  and multivariate analysis. Relevant tests to determine statistical significance were also carried out, p-value of  <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: HIV-infected women with invasive cervical cancer had poor socio-economic status, lower education  level (p=0.028), a higher parity (p=0.001), they also lived far away from the hospital facility (p=<0.0001,OR  4.6,C.I 1.62-12.9) and had a lower CD4 count (OR 18.6,C.I4.0-86.6) than those without invasive cervical  cancer. 

Conclusion: Majority of the HIV-infected women with invasive cervical cancer had poor socio-economic  status, lived far away from the hospital facility, had done more prior pap smears and had a lower CD4 count  than those without.

There is little doubt that climate change in all its facets is one of the most pressing global issues of our time. Increasingly, we see international and regional treaty bodies addressing it. Much has been written about ongoing procedures in front of the International Court of Justice, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, and the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). However, other regional developments, such as the African Commission’s study on the impact of climate change or the request for an advisory opinion on the climate emergency to the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR) have regrettably received less attention. As we have submitted an amicus curiae to the latter proceeding, we want to contribute to its prominence and present the core arguments of our intervention to the Court. In particular, we highlight the nexus between climate change and forced displacement from a complementary protection perspective.
Rectifying the impairment of immune thrombocytopenia plasmas through photobiomodulation
Authors: Wang Li , Yang Jingke , Wang Zhicheng , Wu Mei X.
Published: January 2024

Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is an autoimmune hemorrhage disorder. The first-line treatment of this disorder is corticosteroids, followed by thrombopoietin (TPO) receptor agonists such as Nplate, and/or splenectomy. Yet, the extended usage of corticosteroids or the expensive Nplate, coupled with the implications of splenectomy, raises concerns due to the array of associated side effects and an escalated vulnerability to subsequent complications. The current investigation shows that while anti-platelet antibodies and ITP plasmas hinder megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation and impair proplatelet and platelet formation in ex vivo culture of umbilical cord human CD34+ stem cells (cHSCs), low-level laser (LLL) treatment or photobiomodulation (PBM) effectively mitigates these detrimental impacts. PBM reinstated megakaryocyte differentiation and maturation, bolstering proplatelet and platelet formation in the presence of auto-platelet antibodies or ITP plasmas. The mitigating effects of PBM appear to pivot on its capacity to uphold cellular mitochondrial functionality and rectify the mitochondrial impairments engendered by anti-platelet antibodies or ITP plasmas. These findings underscore the potential of PBM as a safe and cost-efficient alternative for the management of a specific subset of ITP patients.

Authors: Fini Maryam Baghizadeh , Ryu Yoonji , Mahaffey Carlos C. , Rhoads Kelley E. , Han Ho
Published: January 2024

Objectives: Evaluate college students' preventive dental behaviors based on the Health Belief Model (HBM), identify key constructs of HBM to promote preventive dental behaviors, and determine the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on college students' preventive dental behaviors.
Methods: The data for this cross- sectional study were collected from 550 college students (ages 18 to 25; 69.8% female) through an online survey. Participants were recruited through a random sampling process. Descriptive statistics were used in the analysis of quantitative data. A multivariate
analysis of variance was applied to examine the relationship between HBM and preventive dental behaviors. In addition, chi-square was used to determine the prevalence of preventive dental behaviors associated with dental knowledge. Results: Perceived barriers and self- efficacy were
significant predictors of preventive dental behaviors ( p < 0.001). Also, a significantly higher proportion of students with sufficient dental knowledge met the recommendations for tooth brushing and dental checkups compared to those with deficient or moderate dental knowledge (
p < 0.05). Although most of the participants reported no influence of COVID-19 on their preventive dental behaviors, a considerable number of the students still reported the influences of COVID-19 (tooth brushing: 20.9%; tooth flossing: 10.6%; dental checkups: 18.8%). Conclusions:
The Health Belief Model could be an effective framework to promote preventive dental behaviors for college students, particularly, using perceived barriers and self-efficacy.

Authors: Schafranski Carneiro Fabiane
Published: January 2024

Este artigo reflete sobre práticas de arte contemporânea engajada que agenciam a participação de comunidades e difundem suas referências culturais. Para tanto, analisa três casos de estudo latino-americanos – La Piel de la Memoria (1998-1999/2011), A Vitória do Gallo (2007) e Museo del Estallido Social (2020) – à luz de subsídios teóricos de distintos autores, que abordam as redefinições dos conceitos de patrimônio cultural, participação, movimentos sociais e a relação da arte contemporânea com eles. A partir da análise isolada e comparativa dos casos, compreende quais as táticas empregadas, bem como verifica aproximações e diferenças entre elas. A arte contemporânea engajada parece encontrar nas referências culturais das comunidades envolvidas e na sua difusão uma aproximação com o mundo social, borrando os limites entre arte, cultura e sociedade.

Numerical data was documented as mean and standard deviation whereas categorical data was presented as frequencies and percentages.  To address the effect modifiers, data was stratified for age, gender, residence status, and economics status. Post-stratification Chi-square test was applied and p ? 0.05 was regarded as significant.
Results: The mean age of patients was 5.29 ± 2.77 years with minimum and maximum ages as 6 months and 12 years. There were 144(52.36%) male and 131(47.64%) female cases. A total of 97(35.27%) cases had Giardia on microscopic examination of stools. There was no significant association between Giardia infection and different age groups, gender, area of residence, and monthly household income (p>0.05). A very high frequency of Giardia lamblia (35.27%) in children with diarrhea is of serious public health concern.
Conclusion: To combat this, adequate precautionary measures should be opted including clean water supply, proper sanitation facilities, health education and promotion of personal and household hygiene, and most importantly regular deworming of pediatric population.

Objective: To compare the outcomes between silver sulfadiazine (SSD) versus sustained-release silver foam in treatment of partial thickness burn patients.

Study design: Randomized controlled trial.

Place and Duration: Department of Burn/Plastic surgery, Nishtar Medical University/Hospital, Multan in Six months from 27-11-2021 to 27-05-2022.

Methodology; All patients of second degree partial thickness burns (n=164) were divided in equally in two groups through draw method, 82 patients in each, group (A) treated with silver sulfadiazine and group (B) with sustained-release silver foam dressing. Baseline data and outcome i.e., pain, wound healing and hospital stay were recorded on predesigned proforma

Results: In Group I, there were 15.0% patients who had wound healed and 25.0% patients had wound healed in Group II. The mean VAS score at 5, 10, 15 and 20 day of Group II was less than the Group II (p<0.001). whereas, the wound healing in both the groups were almost equal at 5, 10, 15 and 20 day, and the differences were statistically insignificant, (p>0.050).

Conclusion; utilization of sustained-release silver dressing exhibits notable advantages in the wound healing process, including accelerated recovery rates, reduced pain levels, and consequently, earlier hospital discharge, when compared to silver sulfadiazine (SSD) dressings in treatment of partial thickness burn patients.

Online learning cannot be separated from the internet network. Internet network connection is one of the obstacles faced by students. Cases that often occur when the application of this online learning system include uneven internet network connections among students. Some have difficulty accessing the internet where they live, while others have unstable network conditions. This is a problem that often occurs in students in doing online learning. In addition to connection problems, another problem is the uneven ability of children to receive material. Some are slow in accepting the material presented by the teacher, some are moderate in ability, some are very fast in understanding all the material presented by the teacher. This is a challenge for teachers in designing the right media so that all students can receive the learning material as a whole and not burden the student quota, so that they can understand what the subject teacher is saying even though it is hindered by distance and time. With the Camtasia application, it is hoped that it can help teachers make video material that can make students understand the material being taught even without face to face.
