Published: April 2024

Background: The complex structure of the ankle joint makes it particularly vulnerable to injuries, among which the most common is an inversion sprain of the ankle joint, posing a significant clinical problem. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of ankle sprain on the speed capabilities of the plantar flexor and dorsal flexor muscles of the feet in a group of women.Methods: The study involved 42 young women. The experimental group consisted of 21 women who had suffered an inversion sprain of the ankle joint, while the control group comprised 21 women without an injury to the ankle joint. Participants were assessed for the contraction speed of the plantar and dorsal flexor muscles of the foot, and the results were presented in the form of Maximum Gradient of Force Development (MGFD) values.Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in MGFD values for the dorsal flexors of the dominant limb in the control group compared with the corresponding index for the affected and unaffected limb in the experimental group (p<0.05).Conclusions: A significantly higher MGFD value was noted in the control group compared to the experimental group for the dorsal flexor muscles of the foot.

El servicio de salud es un área de trabajo que puede conducir a importantes riesgos relacionados con el bienestar y la seguridad de los empleados. Los riesgos laborales de los profesionales de la salud pueden alterarse según la profesión, el propio trabajo y la unidad del hospital. Bajo este contexto, el objetivo general del estudio fue analizar los riesgos biológicos y psicosociales en los profesionales de salud del hospital Israel Quintero Paredes Post Covid-19. Para ello, se llevó a cabo una metodología. Con un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo observacional y descriptivo con una muestra de 59 profesionales de salud. Se diagnosticaron los riesgos biológicos a los que están expuestos los profesionales de salud mediante la técnica observación con el método Biogaval y la técnica encuesta mediante el uso del método FPSICO 4.1 para diagnosticar el nivel de riesgo psicosocial. Con respecto a los resultados, en el área de emergencia se identificó al virus de la influenza y el virus del Covid-19 con resultados de 8 y 10 respectivamente, lo que significa que existe un nivel de acción biológico, mientras que el 86,4% de los profesionales de salud tienen un nivel de riesgo psicosocial muy elevado en el factor de relaciones y apoyo social. En conclusión, se logró identificar el nivel de exposición a riesgos biológicos que fue enmarcado como controlado en la mayoría de agentes biológicos, no obstante, los resultados concernientes al virus de la influenza y al virus del Covid-19 demostraron un nivel de acción biológico según el método Biogaval, lo que indicó la necesidad de proponer actividades para disminuir la exposición a estos agentes.

Authors: Mota Manuela Moreira , Geraldello Melina Scariato , Marques Ana Carolina Gomes Ruivo , Contrucci Filho Orlando
Published: April 2024

A pseudo-obstrução intestinal (POI) é uma condição rara e grave em que há disfunção da musculatura lisa intestinal, resultando em uma obstrução parcial ou completa do órgão sem que haja uma causa física aparente. A síndrome é de origem multifatorial e pode ocorrer em qualquer parte do trato gastrointestinal, desde o esôfago até o reto, estando associada a várias condições, incluindo: neurológicas, metabólicas, endócrinas, iatrogênicas e idiopáticas. O objetivo é descrever sobre um caso raro, ocorrido no Hospital Regional Sul, de paciente admitido com pseudo obstrução intestinal devido a uma condição clínica de hipotireoidismo mal controlado. Trata-se do paciente H.M.G. deu entrada em serviço do Hospital Regional Sul no 10/01/2023 encaminhado da UPA Santo Amaro com história de fecaloma, obstrução intestinal. Ao exame físico apresentava abdome distendido, indolor a palpação. Foi trazido com exames de urina I, gasometria arterial, tomografia de abdome e pelve, raio X torácico e abdominal realizados na UPA, com alteração em tomografia e raio X apresentando discreto derrame pleural à direita, presença de hérnia hiatal, coproestase no cólon direito com distensão líquido dos cólons transverso e reto-sigmóide, por vezes formando nível, sem evidência de fator obstrutivo mecânico. Focos de pneumatose da parede intestinal do ceco e do cólon descendente. Além de discretas hiponatremia (Na 132mmol/L) e anemia (Hb 11 / Ht 31,9% / hemácias 3,14x106 / discreta macrocitose). Em sua internação, manteve-se em bom estado real com melhora de dor abdominal porém ainda com presença de distensão. Prosseguiu-se com investigação laboratorial e por imagem (colonoscopia e tomografia com contraste) que concluíram ausência de fator obstrutivo. Juntamente à esses dados houve ainda a revelação de um diagnóstico de hipotireoidismo nos antecedentes pessoais do paciente diante de uma conversa com familiar, que pode ser confirmado por exames para avaliar a função tireoidiana, com respectivos valores de TSH 63,162 / T4l <0,4 / T3 <0,2. A partir disso, iniciou-se o tratamento com levotiroxina para o paciente, que evoluiu com melhora de quadro de distensão abdominal e também de obstrução, sendo optado por alta e orientação para manter o tratamento clínico do hipotireoidismo. Conclui-se que, uma vez sendo um desafio o diagnóstico da pseudo obstrução intestinal, se faz necessário um maior estudo e observação dos pacientes suspeitos, oriundos frequentemente de um quadro arrastado e inespecífico. No caso aqui relatado, a investigação se deu a partir da base clínica amplamente explorada, com bom uso de uma anamnese aprofundada, envolvendo a família e o paciente em si, exibindo a necessidade e os benefícios de uma boa investigação.

Importancia de la calidad agrícola en la economía rural de Manabí, Ecuador
Authors: Cedeño-Briones Gilbert Antonio , Flor-Vinces Juan Ramón
Published: April 2024

Tradicionalmente, los conceptos de economía rural y economía agrícola generalmente se utilizan como sinónimos. El impulso de la productividad agrícola ha ido acompañado de una disminución de la pobreza rural. Sin embargo, el crecimiento de la agricultura no ha logrado acelerar el cambio estructural en el período reciente debido a varias limitaciones. Como resultado, el sector agrícola tradicional aparentemente no ha logrado impulsar la demanda de producción industrial y, por lo tanto, la industrialización del país. Se puede lograr una transformación dinámica en la provincia mediante la priorización de la calidad agrícola. En ese sentido, el objetivo de esta revisión es recopilar diversos puntos de vista con referente a la importancia de la calidad agrícola para la economía rural de la provincia de Manabí, Ecuador. El gobierno debe formular políticas que ayuden a acabar con la agricultura de subsistencia, que es la principal responsable de los bajos salarios de la mano de obra agrícola. La adopción de tecnología moderna, la canalización adecuada de la financiación formal al sector agrícola y la limitación de la disminución de la tierra cultivable son algunas de las opciones políticas a considerar.

Palabras clave: Calidad agrícola, economía rural, sector agrícola.

Gender Representation Through Female Perspective and Character Construction in Films by Chinese Women Directors
Authors: Li Zhengyi , Gao Zhiye
Published: April 2024

This paper examines the contributions of Chinese women directors to the discourse on gender representation in cinema. Through a qualitative content analysis of films directed by prominent figures such as Ann Hui, Li Shaohong, and Joan Chen, the study explores how these directors challenge traditional gender norms and provide alternative visions of femininity. The analysis reveals that their films often depict female characters with agency and complexity, navigating themes of resilience, independence, and identity. These directors employ visual and narrative strategies that emphasize the female perspective, highlighting the diverse experiences of women in contemporary China. However, the paper also acknowledges the constraints faced by these directors, such as censorship and market pressures, which can impact their ability to fully express their visions. The study underscores the importance of supporting diverse voices in the film industry to ensure a more nuanced and inclusive portrayal of gender. The findings contribute to the understanding of gender representation in non-Western cinema and highlight the unique perspectives offered by Chinese women directors.

Wetlands, acting as complex ecosystems bridging aquatic and terrestrial habitats, play a vital role in avian conservation. Despite the extensive use of bird communities in biodiversity conservation, there is a notable lacunae in baseline data, particularly for common avian species. This study aims to address this knowledge gap, providing a foundational dataset for avifauna in the wetlands of Madurai, Tamil Nadu. The survey conducted from January 2022 to December 2023 covered five wetlands: Madakulam, Thenkarai, Koothiyarkundu, Avaniyapuram, and Samanatham. A total of 151 species belonging to 55 families have been observed during the study period. The results highlight the prevalence of Passeriformes, with 51 species. Among the study sites, Samanatham recorded the highest species count, with 124 species, while Thenkarai site recorded the lowest with 82 species. Analysis of feeding guild revealed a diverse range of feeding habits, with 36% being insectivores. The analysis of relative abundance showed that 55% of the population is common (C), and concurrent analysis revealed 64% as residents and 27% being winter visitors. Notably, eight “Nearly threatened” such as Pallid Harrier Circus macrourus, Osprey Pandion haliaetus, Bar Tailed Godwit Limosa lapponica, Black Tailed Godwit Limosa limosa, Oriental Darter Anhinga melanogaster, Painted Stork Mycteria leucocephala, Spot Billed Pelican Pelecanus philippensis, Black Headed Ibis Threskiornis melanocephalus and three “Vulnerable” species, such as the River Tern Sterna aurantia, Greater Spotted Eagle Clanga clanga and Indian Spotted Eagle Clanga hastata, were observed. Throughout the study period, the months of March and April recorded the highest number of individuals across all study sites. A noticeable correlation between the abundance of microhabitats within the wetlands and the concentration of individuals was observed in the Madakulam site. In conclusion, this study serves as a critical step in addressing the dearth of baseline data for avian diversity in Madurai's wetlands. The findings contribute to the broader understanding of ecological dynamics and provide essential information for effective conservation strategies. To ensure a comprehensive approach in safeguarding the delicate balance within wetland ecosystems, ongoing monitoring will extend to environmental conditions, vegetation dynamics, other biotic resources, and potential threats to the avifauna.

Background and Objective: Nicotine is linked to the development of several illnesses, including cancer The current study aimed to assess the ability of sodium thiosulfate (STS) to decrease the harmful effects of nicotine in lungs and gene expression of Bcl2 gene in rats and compare them with resveratrol (RES) supplement. 
Methods: Thirty-six male rats, Rattus norvegicus (weighing 190–220 g) were chosen randomly and separated into six equal groups. Animals in the control group were administered an intraperitoneal injection of normal saline, while those in group G1 were injected (I/P) with nicotine (1.5 mg/kg b.wt.). G2: were injected I/P with STS (450 mg/kg b.wt) and nicotine (1.5 mg/kg b.wt). G3: rats were gavaged with resveratrol supplement (87 mg/kg b.wt)  and (I/P) injected with nicotine at the same dose. G4 group were (I/P) injected with STS (450 mg/kg b.wt) and administered (RES) (87 mg/kg b.wt) plus injected with nicotine (1.5 mg/kg b.wt). I/P injections of STS (450 mg/kg b.wt) and Resveratrol (87 mg/kg body weight) were given to group G5. All groups were administered for 28 days, after 24 hours after the last administration, all animals were sacrificed, and tissue specimens were collected from the lung for histopathological changes and for gene expression analysis of Bcl2. 
Results: The results of Lung sections for G1 showed severe peribronchiolar and perivascular lymphocytic cuffs, congestion, pulmonary emphysema, cuboidal metaplasia of the bronchiolar epithelium, granulomatous inflammation, thickening in the alveolar walls, and severe hemorrhage with hemosiderosis as compared with other experimental groups while group G2 showed that STS  attenuating the effect of nicotine on lung tissue characterized by normal bronchioles which lined by normal columnar epithelium with scattered macrophages slight perivascular lymphocytic cuffs, a few desquamations of the bronchiolar epithelium, G3 group which administered RES showed that some alveoli had thickened walls; others showed slightly distended walls, few infiltrations of macrophages and lymphocytes, and desquamation of the bronchiolar epithelium. Moreover sections of lungs for G4 that administered both STS and RES with nicotine showed that most alveoli were normal, with slight thickening in their walls and slight blood vessel congestion. Furthermore, results represented a significant decrease in expression of the BCl2 gene for G1 compared with other groups. In contrast, a significant increase in the fold change of the BCL2 gene was observed in the G2, G3, G4, and G5 groups, indicating the protective effects of RES and STS on histopathological sections and fold change for the BCL2 gene against nicotine-stressed rats. 
Conclusion: Rats who received STS showed more effectiveness in modulating the bad effects of nicotine than those who received RES, which can give an idea that STS is more effective as an antioxidant than RES.

As teorizações sobre a Modernidade Líquida e as Sociedades de Controle permitem que os/as pesquisadores(as) da educação vislumbrem com outros olhares as novas configurações econômicas, culturais e sociais que incidem sobre os/as jovens. Produto de uma tese de doutoramento em Educação, o artigo tem como objetivo identificar e analisar questões relacionadas à produção de subjetividades e identidades juvenis na contemporaneidade, considerando como eixo dessa produção as tensões entre a escola e o consumo cultural em plataformas digitais, em especial, o YouTube. A construção empreendida no texto é baseada em um processo de análise tendo como ferramenta analítica a noção de discurso e a “etnografia de tela”, através das quais percebe-se a rede de relações que se estabelecem na produção do jovem contemporâneo, atravessado pelo consumo, pelas novas disposições corporais e midiáticas que concorrem com a escola na formação do sujeito crítico e consciente, projeto de formação humana da modernidade. Foram, sobretudo, impactos diretos em sua socialização cada vez mais restrita aos círculos do consumo digital, pela negação ou distanciamento da escola e de suas promessas de futuro. Isso também ocorre pela adoção de novos referentes ideais em sua formação; em vez de professores(as), os novos influenciadores(as) digitais na internet.

Using Sounds of Intent (SOI) to evaluate the impact of music therapy on girls with Rett Syndrome
Authors: Maia Ana Rita , Morgado José
Published: April 2024

In this article, we discuss the importance of music therapy in the development and evaluation of skills in girls with Rett Syndrome. The intention of this study was to collect and analyse data in order to empirically contribute to a mapping of the individual sound-musical development profile of girls with Rett syndrome. The study proceeded with the translation, adaptation, and implementation in the Portuguese context, of a specific music programme, Sounds of Intent (SOI). It was intended to measure target distal, proximal, cognitive and emotional behaviours in girls with Rett syndrome. Longitudinal action research with multiple case-study methodology was carried out, assuming a qualitative nature. This article is focused on the two Rett syndrome case studies that were part of a larger sample with multiple diagnoses. An instrument for data collection was also used, namely matrices of development designed to evaluate this type of intervention and documental analysis process. The results suggest that it is possible to systematically observe and evaluate the development of girls with Rett syndrome over a given period of time through the manifestation of sound-musical behaviour using a programme such as SOI. The data collected through the grid and the concentric profile of the subjects demonstrated a wide variety of sound-musical manifestations throughout the intervention period. Both girls demonstrated different levels of progress with regard to their musical behaviours. The data analysis demonstrated that there was regression and development in the sound-musical behaviours of the clients, both clients showed consistency and high level of involvement during the sessions, sound-musical behaviours have been revealed mostly in the interactive domain and the sound-musical behaviours observed developed towards more complex musical behaviours over time.
