Clonidine and Electrocardiograms
Authors: BLACKMAN JAMES A. , SAMSON-FANG LISA , GUTGESELL HOWARD
Published: December 2021

Maloney and Schwam provided an example of the potential power of a letter to the editor of a major journal. By calling attention to a drug company's record of three instances of sudden death in children taking clonidine and methylphenidate concomitantly, common practice and even perceived standard of care may change. Many adults and children have been on clonidine with or without methylphenidate but have not had this dire consequence.

Reports of untoward effects of commonly used drugs are useful but recommendations for changes in care practice, especially when they involve considerable expense and anxiety for patients and parents, should be made cautiously and rationally.
In Reply: Questions About Varicella Vaccine
Authors: PLOTKIN STANLEY A.
Published: December 2021

I am pleased that my commentary evoked such a response, even if critical, as the attitude of pediatricians towards varicella vaccine is key to its use. Rather than reply to each letter individually, I will group the criticisms as follows:

1. Varicella is not a serious disease. The same mail that brought the letters also brought a journal containing a paper that reports 24 cases of invasive group A streptococcal infections observed in Los Angeles over a 3-month period among children with varicella, which is not unusual.
Remediation of High Concentration Chromium Contaminated Soil by Enhanced Electrodynamic Method
Authors: Guo Lin , Zhang Xiaocun , Chen Yao , Liu Jun
Published: December 2021

High concentration of chromium salt has caused serious pollution to the environment since its production. The long-standing chromium residue has polluted the soil, and the total chromium concentration of some polluted soil has reached 30000 mg / kg. For the remediation of chromium contaminated soil, the enhanced electrodynamic method was proposed. In order to improve the efficiency of electrokinetic remediation of chromium contaminated soil, two enhanced electrokinetic remediation technologies were proposed: Electrokinetic oxidation enhanced remediation technology and electrokinetic enhanced remediation technology. (III) in soil was polluted by oxidant chromium oxide to increase the content of dissolved (VI),so as to improve the efficiency of electric repair, in order to find a suitable PRB medium as a breakthrough to improve the repair efficiency. The experimental results show that compared with the traditional electrodynamic technology, the enhanced electrodynamic method can effectively improve the removal rate of total chromium in the soil, and provide technical support for the enhanced electrodynamic remediation of chromium contaminated soil. The pH control system makes the pH of anode and cathode electrolyte always maintain acidic, and the H+ migration speed is faster than that of OH-, and the pH of soil near the anode is lower than that near the cathode.
Checklist of free-living microturbellarian flatworms (Turbellaria, Platyhelminthes) in the Suquía River Basin, Córdoba, Argentina
Authors: Adami Mariana L. , Damborenea Cristina
Published: December 2021

Free-living microturbellarians are a part of lentic and lotic aquatic assemblages and play an important but underestimated role in aquatic ecosystems. Consequently, they are not included in studies on the dynamics of freshwater aquatic invertebrate communities. We report eight new records of microturbellarians from the Suquía River (Córdoba, Argentina): Catenula lemnae Dugès, 1832, Stenostomum arevaloi Gieysztor, 1931, Stenostomum aff. amphotum Marcus, 1945, Macrostomum aff. quiritium Beklemischev, 1951, Macrostomum platensis Adami, Damborenea & Ronderos, 2012, Microstomum sp., and Mesostoma erhenbergii (Focke, 1836). We discuss these results within the geomorphological history of the river basin
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF NATM CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGIES OF DNIPRO METRO ESCALATOR TUNNEL
Authors: TIUTKIN O. L. , KUPRII V. P. , BIELIKOVA S. I.
Published: December 2021

Purpose. On the basis of the comparative analysis to carry out a substantiation of the most expedient and rational way of strengthening of a weak massif during a construction of Dnipro metro escalator tunnels by NATM. Methodology. To achieve this goal, an analysis of construction technologies in weak soils was conducted. The most used technologies are Forepoling Umbrella System (FUS), artificial ground freezing and chemical cementation. The peculiarities of carrying out each of the technologies for the conditions of inclined production were analyzed. It is determined how each of the technologies is applied to escalator tunnels and implements the strengthening of weak soil. Findings. The advantages and disadvantages of three technologies for fixing weak soil around the escalator tunnel are identified. Based on comparative analysis, it was found that the only technology that provides increased strength parameters of loamy soils, characteristic for the upper part of the escalator tunnel of the Dnipro metro, is the technology of chemical strengthening (cementation). In some cases, if necessary, short sections of sloping course, characterized by particularly weak soil, can be supported by several pipes, without creating a continuous leading mount. The results of the analysis are the basis for further substantiation of cementation, which creates a multilayer system "reinforced soil massif – temporary fastening – permanent lining". Originality. Based on the results of comparative analysis of three technologies for escalator tunnel construction by NATM, it is proved that the use of cementation not only increases the strength of the soil during drilling, but also further in operation serves as an additional element of the multilayer system "reinforced soil massif – temporary fastening – permanent lining". Practical value. In the course of research, the substantiation of cementation as the most rational and effective technology of strengthening of the surrounding weak massif at construction of the Dnipro metro was carried out.

Mutagenesis is an important technique for creating novel mutants having improved agronomic traits. In this study, LD50 was determined at 807 Gy depending on the germination percentage of tomato seeds irradiated with cobalt-60, using absorbed gray (Gy) dose of 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 500, and 1000 Gy with control. GR30 and GR50 values were 214 and 502 Gy based on the regression formula on seedling length. Though LD50 is important, the dose range between 214(GR30) and 502(GR50) is more functional to get desirable mutation as the survival of the mutants is more important than germination. The variation was observed in all of the agronomical traits among the treatments. Most of the morphological traits were found better at 250 Gy in comparison with the control and the value decreased sharply at higher doses followed. The highest weight of single fruit was 145.33 g recorded at 250 Gy while the lowest was 70.67 g noted at 500 Gy. The highest fruit yield per plant was 1270 gm obtained at 250 Gy and the lowest was 800 gm found at 500 Gy. Shelf life was found better (34 days) at the 250 Gy dose level and the lowest was 6 days got in the control treatments.

Published: December 2021

Resumo: Este estudo analisa a recente experiência de descentralização do cuidado às pessoas vivendo com HIV para a atenção primária à saúde (APS) do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Para tanto, é subsidiado por uma pesquisa qualitativa em duas unidades de APS de uma região da cidade do Rio de Janeiro, a partir de observação participante, grupos focais com profissionais de saúde e entrevistas individuais com estes e com usuários, realizados entre os anos de 2018 e 2019. Os dados revelam, ainda que de modo heterogêneo, a implementação avançada de testes rápidos e ampliação do número de pessoas acompanhadas, os problemas e inovações nos modos de acesso a APS, os aspectos na gestão do sigilo e centralidade do médico de família e comunidade no cuidado. Problematizamos, a partir disso, paradoxos relacionados à noção de território operada na APS (ampliando, ao mesmo tempo, acesso e vulnerabilidades ligadas ao risco de estigma) bem como tensões entre as necessidades dos usuários e os modos de organização do serviço. Concluímos que o cuidado das pessoas vivendo com HIV pode ser, ao mesmo tempo, um analisador da APS (interrogando suas práticas e bases) e um dispositivo de mudança (mediante rearranjos organizacionais e de práticas de cuidado), porém, atentando para a impossibilidade de garantir atenção integral apenas através da APS, e aos desafios de ordem não apenas técnica, mas também política, organizativa, ética e moral que se colocam neste processo.
Organizational aspects of landscape enterprises: The case of Istanbul
Authors: Temiz Nur Aytül , Erol Seçil Yurdakul
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT: As a management function, organizing deals with activities designed to support the realization of institutional goals and plans, performed within an organizational structure that serves to connect, direct, manage, and control the activities associated with these plans and goals. Considering the extensive scope of landscape architecture, it is necessary for organizations operating in this field to focus on management and organization issues (which have ecological, architectural, economic, and social dimensions), and their integration with administrative functions to achieve success. In this context, the present study examined the organizing processes of private enterprises operating in the landscape sector, investigated the differences among them, and analyzed the interaction of organization-related aspects. Within this scope, the research focused on evaluating stages of organizing, principles and effects of organizing, organizational relations, and organizational authorities and responsibilities. The province of Istanbul was selected as a case study to consider the specified objectives. Data were collected through questionnaires and then sent through ANOVA and Spearman correlation analyses. The results showed that the main problems affecting these enterprises in terms of organizing were delegation, participative management, and inter-departmental relations. Organizational aims and customer groups were also shown to have an impact on these issues, and the components of the organizing function distinct relationships with one another. This study concluded that adopting a holistic approach in organizational processes and related applications is essential.

ABSTRACT: Brazil is one of the primary suppliers of wildlife for trafficking, which constitutes a significant threat to biodiversity, which can cause the extinction of species, especially birds, the most important victims of trafficking. This study analyzed the wild avifauna collected in the Triage Centers of Wild Animals (CETAS) of Bahia, to inventory the most apprehended species that are threatened with extinction, and estimate the municipalities that function as suppliers and traders of wildlife. Data from 2009 to 2019 were made available by the Salvador and Vitoria da Conquista units, and that from 2010 to 2016 was made available by the, Porto Seguro unit. The survey was conducted through the entry records of birds, considering apprehension, spontaneous deliveries, rescues, and transfers between units involved in the study. Out of the total 80,948 birds analyzed, 65,315 (80.68%) were apprehended; 7,885 (9.74%) were voluntary deliveries; 6,196 (7.65%) were rescues, and 1,034 (1.28%) were transfers. There was no entry modality for 518 (0.64%) specimens. The most trafficked species were Sicalis flaveola (Saffron Finch), Sporophila nigricollis (Yellow-bellied Seedeater), Paroaria dominicana (Red-cowlead Cardinal), Cyanoloxia brissonii (Ultramarine Grosbeak), Sporophila caerulescens (Double-collared Seedeater), and Sporophila albogularis (White-throated Seedeater). Nine hundred twenty six specimens exhibited some threat. Analysis showed that the greatest flow of bird traffic occurs on BR 242 and BR 116. The municipalities that comprise the mesoregions Center-South, Center-North Baiano, and the Metropolitan Region of Salvador are those with greater concentrations of illegal activity. Irecê and Paulo Afonso constitute areas for the capture and commercialization of wild animals.

Moreira, un Zarathustra cimarrón y marxista
Authors: Arce Rafael
Published: December 2021

Resumen La obra de César Aira ha adquirido su forma reconocible a partir de los años 80. Algunos de sus relatos juveniles, conocidos mucho después o inéditos hasta el día de hoy, plantean ciertos interrogantes sobre los comienzos de la obra. Este artículo propone una lectura de Moreira (escrita en 1972, editada en 1975 y conocida después de 1981) como un texto que participa de la vanguardia de los años 60-70 y, a la vez, desborda su programa, acuñando algunos procedimientos que definirán la obra futura. La violencia formal de Moreira caracteriza los excesos vanguardistas tanto de la época como de la juventud del escritor, con una radicalidad que no volverá a manifestarse nunca en la obra posterior y cuya sublimación, conjeturamos, implica el magisterio de la obra de Borges.

Wood and bark water content and monthly stem growth in Amazonian tree species
Authors: DIAS Daniela Pereira , MARENCO Ricardo Antonio
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT The knowledge of how trees respond to microclimate variability is important in the face of climate changes. The objectives of this study were to examine the variation in wood water content (WWC) and bark water content (BWC) in Amazonian trees, as well as to assess the effect of microclimatic variability on monthly diameter growth rates (DGR). We extracted a core sample from each of 120 trees (28 species) and determined WWC and BWC on a fresh matter basis. DGR was measured monthly during the 12 months of 2007. The effect of microclimatic variability on DGR was analyzed by redundancy analysis. Average BWC and WWC were 53.4% and 34.7%, respectively, with a large variation in stem water content among species (BWC = 36.2−67.1%; WWC = 26.4−50.8%). There was no significant relationship between stem diameter and WWC or BWC, nor between DGR and wood density (p > 0.05). However, wood density was negatively correlated with WWC (r s = −0.69, p < 0.001). The high BWC emphasizes the importance of the bark tissue in Amazonian trees. Contrary to expectations, variability of monthly irradiance, rainfall and temperature had no effect on DGR (p > 0.20). The unresponsiveness of DGR to microclimatic variability, even in an above-average rainy year such as 2007, indicates that other parts of the tree may have greater priority than the stem for carbon allocation during the dry season.

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DURING SCHOOL RECESS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION AMONG DEAF SCHOOL CHILDREN1
Authors: MARTÍNEZ Paulina Yesica OCHOA , LÓPEZ Javier Arturo HALL , TEIXEIRA Ana Maria
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to determine comparatively the physical activity in Physical Education and school recess of hearing-impaired students in Primary Education. Fifty-eigth Physical Education classes and recess in Primary Education were evaluated in a representative way, in specialized educational institutions for people with hearing disabilities. Physical activity was determined using the system for observing fitness instruction time (SOFIT). Inferential statistics, using the Student’s t-test, reported significant differences with more moderate to vigorous physical activity performed during recess than in Physical Education. The same pattern was identified in schoolchildren without diagnosed disabilities. It is recommended that teachers guide the content for the development of coordinating skills that favor the gross and fine motor conditions of this population, implementing didactic strategies that increase the amount of moderate to vigorous activity in Physical Education that is greater than that performed during recess.

Abstract Semaprochilodus insignis is an Amazonian migratory fish species, moving in large shoals between white- and black-water rivers. It has long been classified as a detritivorous fish. However, it is possible that the trophic plasticity of S. insignis could be higher than previously assumed. The objective of this study was to investigate the relative contributions of autotrophic energy sources to the diet of S. insignis in the Negro and Solimões rivers and to determine if the species undergoes an ontogenetic change in the diet. We found variations between the δ13C and δ15N values of S. insignis between the rivers. In the Negro River, periphyton (84%) was the principal energy source for adults, while juveniles in the Solimões River foraged predominantly on terrestrial plants/C3 macrophytes (50%) and phytoplankton (42%). These variations in isotopic signatures are likely associated with migratory movements of S. insignis at different life stages and hydrological periods. Instead of the previously assumed dietary classification, we suggest that S. insignis varies its diet ontogenetically, with adults acting as illiophagous in black-water while the young are detritivorous in white-water rivers. The results show that this species creates complex links between food chains, thus emphasizing the importance of conserving flooded areas.
Os canhões de Ipanema: tecnologia, indústria, logística e política em 1840

Published: December 2021

RESUMO Este trabalho apresenta informações de documentos inéditos de 1840, com as descrições da fabricação de três canhões, um fato técnico a ser rememorado, pelo ineditismo, pelos desafios técnicos que superou e pelos registros descritivos na Fábrica de Ferro de Ipanema, realizados pelo major João Bloem, o então diretor, e das agruras resultantes da Revolta Liberal. Nesse momento, a expansão da indústria paulista do açúcar coincide com a aplicação de recursos na Fábrica durante a regência Feijó, para suprir a demanda por máquinas e componentes em ferro fundido utilizados na moagem da cana por centenas de engenhos paulistas e mineiros. Não se faziam canhões de ferro no país e as armas foram fundidas, usinadas e submetidas a testes de resistência a disparos com cargas de pólvora. Até o final do século XIX, ocorre uma proliferação de fundições de ferro em muitas cidades brasileiras. Como única produtora da matéria-prima das fundições - o ferro-gusa - a Fábrica de Ipanema produziu ferro e fundiu os canhões, o que demonstra a presença das competências técnica e metalúrgica, relacionadas aos investimentos no período da Regência e à intenção de retomar o projeto militar original da produção de equipamentos bélicos. Essa soma de conhecimentos e habilidades levou o diretor a defender uma proposta de estabelecer uma filial em Juquiá, perto do porto de Iguape, não aceita pelo Ministério da Marinha. Ao apresentar a história desses canhões, este trabalho rememora alguns dos obstáculos que se interpuseram ao sonho de trazer a primeira Revolução Industrial ao Brasil.
Uma coleção de arquitetura moderna: imagem e narratividade no catálogo latino-americano de Henry-Russell Hitchcock (1955)
Authors: CABRAL CLAUDIA COSTA
Published: December 2021

RESUMO Os edifícios são colecionáveis? Houve quem colecionasse projetos, como o casal Tremaine, para quem Niemeyer e Johnson projetaram casas nunca construídas; certas exposições incorporaram protótipos arquitetônicos, como a casa que Breuer levantou no jardim do MoMA em 1949. Mas na grande maioria das vezes, as obras de arquitetura entram nos museus e na historiografia através de algo que as representa. Essas representações - fotografias, desenhos - geralmente compõem catálogos que, de certa maneira, desfrutam de uma vida independente das exposições que os originaram e superam-nas em longevidade. Latin American Architecture since 1945, catálogo decorrente da exposição homônima organizada por Henry-Russell Hitchcock para o MoMA em 1955, é hoje amplamente reconhecido como peça fundamental na construção historiográfica da arquitetura moderna latino-americana, bem como o Brazil Builds de Philip Goodwin (1943). Os catálogos de arquitetura são produtos bibliográficos onde as imagens têm papel preponderante sobre os textos. Entram na categoria da coleção de figuras ou do álbum fotográfico. Contudo, não obstante a prioridade da imagem sobre a palavra, o catálogo constitui, também, uma narrativa. O objetivo deste texto é interrogar a condição narrativa própria do catálogo como coleção de arquitetura, como álbum fotográfico, em suas correlações com os métodos da historiografia e com a formação do conceito de arquitetura moderna, através de Latin American Architecture since 1945.

Published: December 2021

Resumo O patamar de desenvolvimento industrial das nações pode ser inferido pelo domínio tecnológico e produtivo de um país e da sua estrutura produtiva local. Estes elementos são também importantes para determinar a competitividade das nações e a sua participação no comércio internacional. O artigo avalia empiricamente como o desenvolvimento da indústria farmacêutica está associado às mudanças nos padrões de especialização na rede de comércio mundial de medicamentos para investigar a coevolução de tais dimensões tendo em vista o arcabouço das políticas industriais de três países distintos: Irlanda, Índia e Brasil. Os principais resultados, obtidos pelo método de Análise de Redes, mostram que Índia e Irlanda, diferente do Brasil, adotaram políticas mais consistentes e contínuas, essenciais para o sucesso de uma estratégia de desenvolvimento do setor, mensurado por seus papéis na rede de comércio mundial de medicamentos. Além disso, os resultados deixam evidente que a abertura comercial não é condição suficiente para um país alçar patamares superiores de competitividade.
Faces e lados ocultos na estrutura tributária capitalista

Resumo Este artigo, resultado de pesquisas destinadas à dissertação de mestrado acadêmico, apresenta dados de algumas das principais pesquisas acerca da desigualdade, concentração (de renda e capital) e das estruturas tributárias no mundo, na América Latina e, de forma mais detalhada, no Brasil. Verifica e apresenta indícios de que, no país, os trabalhadores assalariados são proporcionalmente mais tributados do que os megaempresários, contraditando teorias adeptas da neutralidade Estatal. Adicionalmente, constata alguns efeitos negativos da estrutura tributária e concentração de renda em desfavor dos pequenos e médios empresários (PME). Ao final, elenca diferentes mecanismos tributários intrínsecos ao STB à disposição efetiva, principalmente, dos megaempresários e das grandes corporações, apontando a possibilidade real da transferência do ônus tributário em desfavor dos trabalhadores assalariados e da minoração dos lucros dos PME, fato que leva a questionamentos sobre os limites da tributação, enquanto remédio prescrito à correção de injustiças sociais, no âmago do sistema capitalista.
Indústrias criativas no Brasil: mapeamento de aglomerações produtivas potenciais e sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento local
Authors: Dias Julia Maria Novaes , Lima Ana Carolina da Cruz
Published: December 2021

Resumo Partindo-se do pressuposto de que a criatividade é um recurso chave em uma economia baseada no conhecimento, o presente trabalho visa a identificação de áreas com sinais potenciais de aglomerações produtivas relacionadas ao setor criativo no Brasil e sua provável contribuição para o desenvolvimento local. Utilizou-se o método de análise multivariada de agrupamentos para a estimação de grupos de municípios aproximadamente homogêneos em termos de dinamismo e criatividade, empregando-se os microdados dos Censos de 2000 e 2010, do IBGE. Foram encontrados três grupamentos principais classificados, respectivamente, como grande polo criativo nacional, polo criativo nacional e polo criativo regional, demonstrando um potencial para formação de aglomerados produtivos do setor. As cidades que formaram tais grupamentos se destacam devido à sua infraestrutura urbana, robustez institucional, governança, presença de mão de obra especializada, posição na hierarquia urbana e proximidade ao eixo mais dinâmico do país.

Authors: KOTZE Lorete Maria da Silva , KOTZE Luiz Roberto , PURIM Katia Sheylla Malta , NISIHARA Renato
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Dermatitis herpetiformis (DH) is considered a skin celiac disease (CD). The individuals can be seen by primary care professionals or by dermatologists that could refer the patient to a gastroenterologist. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to investigate the clinical profile of patients diagnosed with DH and referred to a gastroenterologist and evaluate the treatment response. METHODS: We retrospectively studied patients with DH referred to the same gastroenterologist at a private office in Curitiba, Brazil, between January 2010 to December 2019. We included adult patients with a confirmed DH diagnosis. Symptoms, clinical signs, laboratory and histological data, as well as treatment response, were collected. RESULTS: Thirty-three patients were studied (60.6% women, mean age at diagnosis 40.8±12.61 years). The median delay for DH diagnosis was four years. Skin involvement was mild in 33.3%, moderate in 18.2%, and severe in 48.5%. The more frequent gastrointestinal complaints were abdominal distension (78.8%), flatulence (75.7%), and gastroesophageal reflux (51.5%). Depression and anxiety were observed in 81.8% and anemia in 51.1%. A higher prevalence of bone disorders was associated with higher age at DH diagnosis (P=0.035). Duodenal biopsy showed changes in all patients. Improvement after treatment only with a gluten-free diet (GFD) plus dapsone was verified in 81.2%. CONCLUSION: Patients with DH referred to a gastroenterologist showed a high frequency of gluten intolerance and systemic complaints. Duodenal histological alterations were found in all the cases. The treatment based on GFD plus dapsone was effective in most patients.

Authors: AUFIERI Mariana Cerne , MORIMOTO Juliana Masami , VIEBIG Renata Furlan
Published: December 2021

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating and abdominal pain can reduce University student’s productivity and learning ability. One of the possible treatments for IBS is the temporarily exclusion of foods that have a high content of short-chain fermentable carbohydrates, the fermentable, oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols (FODMAPs). OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess University student’s intake of foods that are rich in FODMAPs, looking for possible associations with the severity of IBS symptoms. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was carried out, with undergraduate students from a private University in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, aged between 19 and 46 years old and that were enrolled in different courses and stages. Students were invited to participate and those who gave their formal consent were included in this research. A sociodemographic and lifestyle questionnaire was applied, in addition to the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale - GSRS. Students also responded a short Food Frequency Questionnaire, developed to investigate habitual FODMAPs intake of Brazilian adult population. Spearman’s correlation analysis between the student’s GSRS scores and the frequency of foods rich in FODMAPs intake were performed in SPSS v.21. RESULTS: Fifty-six students were interviewed, with mean age of 21.4 years old (SD=4.41), with a predominance of women (76.8%). The GSRS results showed that 58.9% of students felt minimal to moderate abdominal discomfort and 14.3% had moderately severe to very severe abdominal pain during the prior week to the interview. Besides abdominal pain, the gastrointestinal symptoms that were most reported by students were flatulence (98.2%), stomach rumbling (89.3%) and eructations (85.7%). Greater symptom severity was observed in women (P=0.004) and sedentary students (P=0.003). Regarding FODMAPs consumption, honey (P=0.04), chocolate (P=0.03) and milk table cream (P=0.001) intakes were positively correlated with the greater severity of symptoms. CONCLUSION: Although clinical diagnosis is necessary to establish IBS, 73.2% of the students presented minimal to very severe abdominal pain during the prior week. Female had sedentary students had greater severity of gastrointestinal symptoms. A low FODMAP diet, well oriented, could bring some symptoms relief to these University students.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) and anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae antibodies (ASCAs) have long been used to differentiate between Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), more recently having been used as prognostic indicators. OBJECTIVE: To determine the diagnostic accuracy of serological markers in the identification of pediatric CD and UC in Sao Paulo, Brazil, as well as to correlate those markers with characteristics demographic and clinical of these two diseases. METHODS: Retrospective cross-sectional multi-center study involving pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We identified ASCAs serological markers and p-ANCA, correlating their presence with demographic and clinical data, not only in the patients with IBD but also in a group of age-matched gastrointestinal disease-free controls. RESULTS: A total of 122 patients, 74 with IBD (46% males), treated at four pediatric gastroenterology referral centers, the mean age of 13±7 years, 49 (66%) with CD, and 25 (34%) with UC. The control Group comprised 48 patients (54% males). The proportion of patients testing positive for p-ANCA was significantly higher in the UC group (69.9%) compared to the CD group (30.4%), as well as being significantly higher in the CD group versus the control Group (P<0.001 for both). The proportion of patients testing positive for ASCA IgA (76.2%) and ASCA IgG (94.4%) markers was also significantly higher in the CD group than in the control Group (P<0.001), and such positivity correlated significantly with the use of immunomodulatory medications such as azathioprine and anti-tumor necrosis factor agents (azathioprine 38.9%, anti-TNF 55.6%; P=0.002). In the CD group, the proportion of patients testing positive for the ASCA IgA was significantly higher among those who underwent surgery than among those who did not (26.86±17.99; P=0.032). CONCLUSION: In pediatric patients with IBD in Sao Paulo, Brazil, serological tests proving to be highly specific, although not very sensitive, for the diagnosis of IBD. However, the serological markers showed a positive correlation with the severity of the disease.

Resumen El artículo se plantea como objetivo principal enriquecer las conceptualizaciones de los diagnósticos para el diseño de políticas públicas de las juventudes. La metodología es de corte cualitativa orientada a profundizar en ideas y conceptos, a través de la estrategia de análisis del contenido. En este caso, se busca analizar y profundizar conceptualmente sobre la concepción de juventud, de Educación y trabajo, tomando como base “El Informe Perspectivas Económicas de América Latina (OCDE/CAF/Cepal) 1 ”. Se arriba a la conclusión de que los saberes reducidos a competencias, las propuestas de formación reducidas a programas de capacitación, y la vida socio-económica reducida al ajuste entre oferta y demanda del mercado; son puestos en discusión por miradas sobre políticas públicas de las juventudes integrales ancladas en los derechos de los jóvenes como colectivo ciudadano, dinámico y heterogéneo.
Narrativas que importam: Práticas de leitura no ensino de sociologia
Authors: Pires Andressa Fontana , Carniel Fagner
Published: December 2021

RESUMO Qual seria o lugar da literatura no ensino de sociologia? Em que medida a leitura de narrativas literárias poderia favorecer o aprendizado das relações de gênero e sexualidade em nossa sociedade? Por meio de experiências escolares com o conto O papel de parede amarelo, de Charlotte Perkins Gilman, este artigo problematiza o potencial pedagógico do uso da literatura no desenvolvimento de consciências e sensibilidades atentas às assimetrias, desigualdades e violências inscritas no cotidiano generificado que habitamos. Por fim, as afinidades entre literatura e teorias sociais feministas são enfatizadas enquanto possibilidades metodológicas de ensino e aprendizagem que privilegiam tanto a ressignificação do mundo social quanto a reorganização de si, no aprendizado de outras maneiras de se conceber e vivenciar a diversidade sexual.

Published: December 2021

Na literatura, é possível detectar um distanciamento da academia com as competências exigidas no mercado de trabalho. Esse distanciamento, pode ser considerado um fator que influencia diretamente no desempenho dos alunos em sala de aula. O conhecimento prático deve partir do professor para que então as competências possam ser desenvolvidas nos alunos. Neste sentido, o objetivo deste estudo é investigar a percepção dos discentes sobre as competências dos docentes, durante o processo de ensino e aprendizagem. A amostra correspondeu a 162 discentes de duas instituições de ensino superior. Para análise, foi utilizada a análise fatorial, a fim de identificar fatores comuns entre as variáveis. Os resultados identificados nesta pesquisa indicam que as competências dos professores estão divididas em seis domínios: Relacionamento, Conhecimento, Conduta, Interesse, Organização e Integridade. Estas dimensões são consideradas na literatura como características de um bom professor. Como contribuição este estudo desmembra a análise da competência do docente no processo de ensino aprendizagem, e propõem fatores específicos do C.H.A que podem ser utilizados em instrumentos de mensuração futuros.

Resumo: O artigo tem como propósito refletir sobre o acesso da população local à educação superior por meio da existência de uma instituição no local e essa com Ações Afirmativas, a luz do desenvolvimento humano de Amartya Sen. De maneira específica, a implantação do Campus Litoral da Universidade Federal do Paraná (UFPR) em 2005, no município de Matinhos, e as políticas internas da UFPR e da Lei de Cotas do Governo Federal. A principal fonte de informação utilizada foram os dados socioeducacional das inscrições ao vestibular e das matrículas disponibilizados pelo Núcleo de Concursos da UFPR. A UFPR no Litoral do Paraná alteraram o leque de oportunidades de acesso à educação superior para a população local, possibilitando a ampliação das liberdades instrumentais desta população, e possivelmente por meio da educação superior, as liberdades substantivas.
A política de avaliação da produtividade acadêmica brasileira sob a ótica dos pesquisadores: uma meta-síntese
Authors: Magnin Luana Silvy de Lorenzi Tezza , Takahashi Adriana
Published: December 2021

A meta de publicar com frequência em revistas de excelência tem configurado a jornada exaustiva de muitos docentes. Esta meta-síntese tem como objetivo verificar como os pesquisadores brasileiros têm estudado o posicionamento de seus pares diante da política de avaliação da produtividade científica no país formulada pela CAPES e CNPQ. Esses órgãos adotam critérios de produtividade que balizam a avaliação dos programas de pós-graduação e de seus docentes. Foram localizados 46 artigos científicos, dos quais 4 foram utilizados para a meta-síntese. Os critérios de seleção e análise adotados partem da filosofia de linguagem de Bakhtin: criticidade, plurilinguismo, posicionamento ideológico, qualidade dos insights e contextualização sócio-histórica. Mesmo os poucos estudos que atenderam aos critérios citados priorizam metodologias que amparam-se na lógica de mensuração quantitativa, havendo insuficiente apropriação de aspectos históricos e das vozes, nas análises. Verificou-se que a política de avaliação não apenas avalia, mas fortalece e induz determinadas práticas de pesquisa. Ao não se problematizar o contexto e as vozes, corre-se o risco de se adotar posicionamentos funcionalistas, que legitimam enunciados já em evidência, naturalizando-se a realidade e comprometendo-se a concepção do sujeito como agente de transformação. Conclui-se que estudos que possuem como objeto as políticas de avaliação devem considerar a construção dos modos de subjetividade do pesquisador. Há aspectos pouco esclarecidos na literatura no que se refere à maneira como os critérios de avaliação interferem nas formas de subjetivação do pesquisador, e em como ele organiza e significa o seu fazer e a si mesmo.

Abstract The objective of this work was to evaluate the banana cultivars for their agronomic yield and starch characteristics. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design, with a factorial arrangement of two cultivars ('BRS Conquista' and 'BRS Platina') and two crop cycles, with three plants per treatment, and five replicates. Fruit yield and starch quality were evaluated. 'BRS Conquista' showed smaller fruit; however, it had a greater marketable bunch weight and yield than 'BRS Platina'. Starches differed for the main physicochemical characteristics, except for X-ray diffraction pattern (B type) and phosphorus content (0.0058–0.0060%). 'BRS Platina' stood out for its higher content of resistant starch (74.55%) that differed from the starch isolated from 'BRS Conquista'. However, the starch of 'BRS Conquista' showed the following characteristics: larger granules (34.74 µm), with greater crystallinity (33.64%); less swelling power and solubility (26.77 g g-1 and 19.21%, respectively); and greater breakdown, setback and final viscosity (67.06, 182.42, and 341.39 RVU, respectively). 'BRS Conquista' shows favorable production characteristics for processing to obtain starch. The higher resistant starch content of 'BRS Platina' may commercially justify its lower agronomic yield. Starches of the two cultivars show desirable characteristics for different industrial applications.

Abstract The essential oils (EOs) of Illicium verum and Pelargonium graveolens were evaluated for lethality, inhibition of development and residual efficacy against the flea Ctenocephalides felis felis. Their chemical composition was characterized by means of gas chromatography with a flame ionization and mass spectrometry detection. Mortality at different immature stages and among adult fleas was measured through in vitro filter paper tests at different concentrations of EOs. The chemical characterization of I. verum volatile oil showed that E-anethole (79.96%) was the major constituent, while the major compounds in P. graveolens were citronellol (29.67%) and geraniol (14.85%). Insecticidal activity against both immature and adult flea stages were observed. The EO of I. verum had insecticidal activity for approximately 18 days, while the EO activity of P. graveolens lasted for 13 days. The pulicidal activity of I. verum remained above 70% for up to 9 days, while the activity of P. graveolens was 41.7% for up to 2 days. Essential oils, especially that of I. verum, showed insecticidal activity for flea control at different life cycle stages and have potential for the development of ectoparasiticides (biopesticides) for veterinary use.
German Schlussfolgerung – about genesis and development of a noun in scientific language
Authors: Bock Bettina
Published: December 2021

With the keywords Schluss and Schlussfolgerung ‘conclusion’, the following collocations can be found in the last part of German scientific texts (under the title Zusammenfassung/Fazit/Resümee ‘summary, conclusion, résumé’): zu dem Schluss/der Schlussfolgerung kommen ‘to arrive at the conclusion’, der Schluss/die Schlussfolgerung liegt nahe/etwas legt den Schluss nahe ‘it can be concluded/something suggests the conclusion’, zu dem Schluss/der Schlussfolgerung führen ‘to lead to the conclusion’, den Schluss/die Schlussfolgerung erlauben/zulassen ‘to allow the conclusion’ and – particularly frequently den Schluss/die Schlussfolgerung ziehen ‘to draw the conclusion’. In contrast, the collocation der Schluss folgt ‘the conclusion follows’, on which the noun Schlussfolgerung ‘conclusion’ is based, is not found. This raises the question of the genesis and the development of this word, which is presented here in detail.
