O USO DO BLACKFACE COMO PRÁTICA PEDAGÓGICA NOS ANOS INICIAIS DA EDUCAÇÃO BÁSICA
Authors: Silva Andressa Queiroz da , Rocha Flávia Rodrigues Lima da , Martins Wálisson Clister Lima
Published: October 2021

RESUMO Este trabalho tem como objetivo refletir sobre as práticas pedagógicas que utilizam o blackface de maneira equivocada na busca pela valorização da história e cultura afro-brasileira e africana. Para alcançar tal objetivo, utilizamos como aporte teórico Munanga (2008), Hall (2016), Souza (2011) e Silva (2014). A metodologia utilizada foi a análise qualitativa de entrevistas estruturadas e semiestruturadas com os professores da Educação Infantil e dos Anos Iniciais do Fundamental. Por fim, compreendeu-se que muitos professores não sabem do que trata o blackface, mesmo quando o praticam, o que é resultado de uma formação com currículo eurocêntrico que reproduz um discurso racista sem as devidas informações sobre as questões étnico-raciais. Sendo assim, práticas racistas com o intuito de promover igualdade racial nas escolas continuam a ser engendradas, “consumidas” por alunos e também reproduzidas por eles em um contínuo ciclo de repetição, cuja interrupção só será possibilitada com a efetivação de práticas antirracistas que estão em acordo com a Lei 10.639/2003 e suas Diretrizes Nacionais Curriculares (2004).
Reflexões sobre a comunicação das mudanças climáticas e o cuidado ambiental: a visão de professores no contexto escolar
Authors: Barros Hellen Chrystianne , Pinheiro José Q.
Published: October 2021

RESUMO Refletir sobre as mudanças climáticas (MCs) se faz de extrema necessidade. Esse problema humano-ambiental é global e com projeções concretas de intensificação no futuro, se associando diretamente à necessidade de promover sustentabilidade. Diante disso, este estudo teve como objetivo compreender a visão que professores possuem sobre comunicação das MCs nas escolas, investigando, mais especificamente, como seus contextos escolares abordam MCs e o cuidado ambiental (CA) com os estudantes, e como enxergam o posicionamento de seus alunos diante desses temas. Esforços como esses são de extrema relevância, ao se levar em conta que esses alunos serão futuros adultos, que irão sofrer mais fortemente as consequências das MCs. A escola passa a ser um terreno fértil para discutir, estimular e implementar ações de cuidado, pró-sustentáveis e de mitigação. Foram realizadas entrevistas exploratórias com 11 professores, de escolas do âmbito privado e público. Em síntese, os professores enxergaram o aluno de maneira positiva, como disposto ao engajamento pró-ecológico, ressaltaram a necessária participação familiar, a continuidade dos projetos e a promoção de experiências com a realidade local como meios para estimular comportamentos e a construção de crenças, atitudes e visões atreladas aos princípios da sustentabilidade. Tais resultados fornecem base para que as escolas possam (re)construir projetos de educação socioambiental, que levem em conta dimensões psicológicas favorecedoras de estilos de vida sustentáveis, considerando também problemas ambientais globais.
Desastres no Brasil? Práticas e abordagens em educação em redução de riscos e desastres
Authors: Matsuo Patricia Mie , Silva Rosana Louro Ferreira
Published: October 2021

RESUMO Nossa sociedade enfrenta desastres simultâneos. Em meio à pandemia, inundações, deslizamentos de terra e incêndios florestais fazem parte da realidade de milhões de brasileiros. Partindo de referenciais de Educação Ambiental Crítica e Sociedade de Risco, o objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar o perfil das escolas e as abordagens de Educação em Redução de Riscos e Desastres (ERRD) adotadas em 127 práticas inscritas na Campanha #AprenderParaPrevenir. As práticas de ERRD foram desenvolvidas majoritariamente em escolas públicas e em todas as etapas de ensino. Para melhor caracterizar essas práticas, foi construída uma mandala de ERRD que apresenta as principais modalidades e recursos didáticos adotados em cinco perspectivas de abordagens, a saber: Expositiva, Comunicativa, Experiencial, Investigativa e Cidadã. No propósito de educarmos em sociedades de risco e desastres socioambientais, apresentamos algumas reflexões: i) desnaturalizar os desastres e compreendê-los como uma construção social e cultural; ii) formar sociedades críticas e resilientes, capazes de lidar com incertezas da vida; iii) adotar uma perspectiva local e; iv) reconhecer as escolas como produtoras de conhecimentos. As comunidades de aprendizagem em ERRD estabelecidas entre escolas, defesas civis e universidades proporcionam aprendizados para todas/todos, particularmente nesta temática recente e desafiadora no contexto escolar, e que tem demandado de professoras/professores a produção de novas práticas pedagógicas e esforços colaborativos entre os saberes, gerações e instituições.
Indicadores para avaliação das políticas públicas de Educação Ambiental nas escolas: uma análise à luz do ciclo de políticas e da teoria da atuação
Authors: Vieira Solange Reiguel , Morais Josmaria Lopes de , Campos Marília Andrade Torales
Published: October 2021

RESUMO O artigo apresenta a análise do processo de aplicação de uma Matriz de Indicadores para a avaliação de políticas públicas de Educação Ambiental nas escolas. Para isso, o estudo se fundamenta no ciclo de políticas (BALL; BOWE, 1992) e na teoria da atuação (BALL; MAGUIRE; BRAUN, 2016). Argumenta-se que a abordagem conceitual do ciclo de políticas e a teoria da atuação deram significado ao instrumento de avaliação construído pelos e para os atores do contexto da prática. Assim também auxiliaram na compreensão das interrelações entre as dimensões contextuais da teoria da atuação e a Matriz de Indicadores de Educação Ambiental construída por diversos sujeitos da política. A interpretação e a análise dos dados gerados a partir da aplicação da Matriz de Indicadores em contextos escolares, com a participação das professoras, apontam que as dimensões que a estruturam tomam sentido quando integradas entre si e relacionadas a contextos apropriadamente situados. Assim, o instrumento demonstra sua relevância, em especial para a etapa de avaliação no ciclo de políticas.
Um ambiente-escola entre poéticas, narrativas e experimentações

Published: October 2021

RESUMO Na busca de repensar os clichês que circundam tanto o espaço escolar quanto a educação ambiental, perguntamo-nos: quais as potências que pulsam no que poderíamos chamar de ambiente-escola? Ao propormos uma porosidade de fronteiras entre os termos “ambiente” e “escola”, referimo-nos a um ambiente escolar que existe na sua diversidade de afetos, encontros e acontecimentos. Escola que atualmente é alvo de discursos ultraconservadores que visam suprimir sua potencialidade inventiva de espaços-tempos outros. No percurso dessa pesquisa, abrimo-nos às possibilidades de educações ambientais inventivas e nos movimentamos também rumo a uma ressignificação do espaço escolar, adentrando nas narrativas, poéticas e diferenças que o habitam. Em uma escola pública municipal situada em Florianópolis (SC), convidamos estudantes do nono ano do ensino fundamental e distintos trabalhadores a participarem de oficinas que possibilitaram experimentações em educação ambiental em torno das seguintes perguntas: quais narrativas e poéticas povoam este ambiente-escola? De que forma estes narrares se relacionam com as diferenças e multiplicidades presentes neste ambiente-escola? O diário de campo foi um importante dispositivo para o delineamento dessas questões. Num processo coletivo de criação de outros modos de nos relacionarmos com tal espaço, ao realizarmos diferentes experimentações com narrativas e poéticas junto a essa diversidade de sujeitos escolares, mobilizaram-se as dimensões do afeto e do encontro em distintas práticas em educação ambiental.

Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT Pholiota adiposa is a mushroom with excellent nutritional and medicinal properties. However, fruiting body yields are low, and the commercial cultivation potential of this fungus is limited. Here, 279 crossbred strains were obtained by the mono-mono crossing of monokaryotic strains derived from P. adiposa HS5 and HS4. Laccase enzymes and mycelial growth rates were used as markers to screen the crossbred strains, and 18 strains were selected for further analysis. Crossbred strain A10B4 displayed the highest yield (i.e. 165.91 ± 12.56 g per bag), which was 31.34 g and 74.48 g more than that of strains HS5 and HS4, respectively. The mycelial colonization time of A10B4 was 25.18 ± 1.33 d, which was 5.64 d shorter than that of HS5. A10B4 was characterized by inter-simple sequence repeat molecular markers. Differences in PCR products from parental and crossbred strains were observed. Therefore, the newly developed hybrid strain A10B4, named P. adiposa HS54 exhibiting high yield, might be suitable for commercial cultivation.

ABSTRACT: This study analysed the effectiveness of using different levels of a product based on 6% cypermethrin and 2% citronella on broiler production and control the lesser mealworm (Alphitobius diaperinus). A total of 648 one-day-old chicks (Cobb®) which were allocated to one of three treatments (no application of the commercial product - control, and two concentrations of the product 2.00 and 3.33g/m2) in eight replicates with 27 birds each. The commercial product, which was based on cypermethrin was applied in the chambers with an atomizer. The lesser mealworm population was sampled weekly (1, 7, 14, 21, 28, 35 and 42 days of the experiment) using traps, at three points (front, middle and back) inside the pen. The performance, carcass and cut yields were evaluated. At 21, 28, 35 and 42 days of the experiment, the number of lesser mealworm adults and larvae was lower in the treatment groups involving 2.00 and 3.33g/m2 of the product than in the control group. On the first and 14th days of the study, the number of lesser mealworms adults was lower in the group treated with 3.33g/m2 of the product compared to the control group, although the results did not differ statistically from those obtained with 2.00g/m2 of the product. In conclusion, the application of the commercial product at both concentrations (2.00 and 3.33g/m2) was effective in combating Alphitobius diaperinus adults and larvae, and the performance was not influenced by treatments.

Published: October 2021

Abstract: This work aims to report the implementation of a set of indicators applied to a project portfolio control, highlighting the solutions found to manage the practical problems common to these issues. We conducted a study based on the research-action method to establish and test the indicators. Our results indicate the need for integrated systems of indicators control to investigate the deviations or trends by different sources. The adoption of more than one analysis source demonstrated positive results for the efficient management of the project portfolio. Moreover, we verified the need to observe the real team skills and their experience in establishing indicators metrics. Once the team know-how is improved, the company would hardly relinquish its past experiences. Also, the results obtained indicate the need to maintain systematic feedback of the actions taken so that the team might be aware of the outcomes of the indicators’ applications.
A model based on FMEA and Fuzzy TOPSIS for risk prioritization in industrial processes
Authors: Magalhães Wauires Ribeiro de , Lima Junior Francisco Rodrigues
Published: October 2021

Abstract: FMEA is one of the most used methods to support risk analysis in business processes. Nonetheless, this method has some limitations, including the use of only three decision criteria, whose weights are not considered. With the objective of adding new features to FMEA, some studies combine it with multicriteria decision methods. This study proposes a model based on FMEA and Fuzzy TOPSIS to support risk prioritization in industrial production processes. A pilot application was performed to analyze and prioritize the risks of potential failures in a nodular iron melting and casting process. Based on the opinion of four company experts, potential failure modes were defined and assessed. The experts also chose the criteria and their respective weights. The pilot application results suggest that “fading time exceeded” and “chemical composition outside of the specified” should be treated with highest priority. The sensitivity analysis test results corroborate the relevance of these failures and demonstrate the effect of criteria weight variation. The proposed model is useful to support the formulation of actions plans focused on minimizing or eliminating priority failures. Other contributions from this study consist of: considering criteria weight; allowing the use of linguistic terms to express the decision makers’ judgments; considering the costs relating to the failures; and supporting group decisions.
Maturity of project teams and the accuracy of the delivered projects in achieving goals

Published: October 2021

Abstract: The objective of this study is to assess the association of project teams maturity with the accuracy of delivered projects in achieving project goals of a contracting manufacture company. This is a qualitative and quantitative empirical study with an explanatory approach. Eighteen project teams, comprising 122 professionals and 71 completed projects, were studied, aiming to correlate the maturity of teams with the accuracy of the performance of delivered projects. Evidence of a positive association between team maturity and the accuracy in achieving deadline and conformity goals was found. The importance of project team maturity as it relates to achieving pre-established performance targets was revealed. In addition to developing an original metric to measure maturity, this study uses the degree of achievement of goals - not simply linear gains in cost, conformity and time - as a project performance metric. Future studies should focus assertively on the goal achievement metric used here rather than on the diffuse search for vague performance maximization.
Influence of the alignment of operators’ preferences on the use of managerial information,
Authors: Rengel Rodrigo , Schnorrenberger Darci
Published: October 2021

ABSTRACT This article aimed to evaluate the influence of the alignment of operators’ preferences for aggregating or disaggregating on the use of managerial information. Although studies indicate that accounting information has the potential to support the decision-making process, they also point to its limited use. However, those studies have basically investigated aspects such as information received versus demanded, timeliness, and legal and corporate aspects. There remains the question of whether divergences in preferences regarding the way information is presented, between those who elaborate and those who use it, could also be an explanatory factor. Thus, this study sought to investigate, under the lens of Mental Accounting Theory (MAT), whether there are differences in operators’ preferences that help to explain the low use of accounting information to support the decision-making process. The relevance of this article lies in better understanding the reasons for the low use of accounting information to support the decision-making process, despite its contributive potential, seeking organizational continuity and prosperity. As an impact on the area, this article helps preparers to understand and contemplate users’ demands and preferences, resulting in greater use of information. The aim is for informed decisions to be taken without the influence of opportunisms, randomness, or the bias of whoever prepares the information. A quasi-experiment was operationalized with 1,074 students, 550 of accounting courses (preparers) and 524 of management courses (users) at four (public and private) universities in the south of Brazil. The study involves empirical, quantitative, descriptive, and applied research. For the data analysis, descriptive statistics, logistic regressions, and homogeneity analysis by means of alternating least squares (HOMALS) were used. In most of the scenarios, the operators (preparers and users) presented a preference for disaggregating the information, independently of whether they follow the assumptions of MAT or not. It was observed that the search for informational volume for more assertive decision making predominates over the psychological gains and the value function perceived by the individual. Those who prefer disaggregated information are willing to align/use accounting information for management.

Letramento funcional em saúde: experiência dos estudantes e percepção dos usuários da atenção primária
Authors: Lustosa Sasha Botelho , Lima Rafael Ileus Monteiro , Damasceno Osvaldo Correia , Maués Luís Antônio Loureiro , Teixeira Francisco Bruno
Published: October 2021

Resumo: Introdução: A participação social na prática de ações promotoras da saúde é uma das diretrizes do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). A partir disso, surge o letramento funcional em saúde (LFS) que se compreende como a capacidade do indivíduo de entender, interpretar e aplicar as informações escritas ou faladas sobre saúde. Nesse contexto, a extensão universitária torna-se uma estratégia que transmite informações sobre prevenção em saúde e permite o seu empoderamento pelos usuários. Objetivo: Este estudo teve como objetivo relatar a experiência de um projeto de extensão que possibilita a interação de acadêmicos e usuários da atenção primária, a fim de estimular o LFS e avaliar a percepção dos usuários sobre as ações desenvolvidas pelos discentes. Método: As intervenções do projeto priorizavam temas e doenças prevalentes na população local e/ou que estão no calendário nacional de conscientização do Ministério da Saúde. No final das intervenções, realizaram-se dinâmicas que simularam situações reais, e alguns usuários foram convidados a participar delas e, partir disso, estimular o LFS. Ademais, a avaliação da percepção dos usuários sobre a participação dos discentes foi realizada por meio de uma entrevista, na qual se utilizou uma pergunta norteadora, e, em seguida, aplicou-se o método de análise do conteúdo de Bardin. Resultado: No decorrer da execução do projeto, foi perceptível que as intervenções tiveram rendimento satisfatório em relação aos conteúdos trabalhados, pois ocorreram inúmeros questionamentos e relatos dos usuários. Constatou-se que as práticas educativas foram muito construtivas no contexto da estimulação do LFS, pois proporcionaram a participação ativa dos indivíduos. Além disso, os relatos positivos dos usuários corroborou a percepção dos alunos quanto às ações. Justificativas como a carência de ações em educação em saúde, a falta de informação sobre o processo saúde-doença, a importância da prevenção e a troca de conhecimento foram abordadas pelos usuários. Conclusão: Por meio dos relatos dos usuários e pela experiência dos autores, conclui-se que as ações em educação em saúde desenvolvidas sempre buscando tornar os usuários protagonistas da própria saúde possibilitam a troca de saberes entre acadêmicos e comunidade, promovendo a multiplicação de conhecimento acerca dos temas abordados no projeto.
Lineamentos bibliográficos sobre a Tropicália
Authors: Marino Rafael
Published: October 2021

Resumo A literatura sobre o Tropicalismo nas ciências sociais é numerosa. À vista disso, no balanço bibliográfico que aqui temos em tela, propomos a construção de dois tipos ideais a partir dos quais podem ser organizados os escritos sobre a Tropicália e sugerimos que tais estudos indicam a participação de artistas de diversas searas, embora não apontem com mais profundidade o fundamento que os une, fixando-se preferencialmente nas produções musicais. Ao final, sugerimos que essa ampla literatura pode ser organizada a partir de uma tipologia ideal dupla, a saber: uma corrente que interpreta a Tropicália em chave crítica e negativa, apontando sua integração mercantil e seu caráter politicamente conformista; e uma linha interpretativa que analisa o Tropicalismo como dotado de potencial crítico e explicativo frente à cultura e às relações de dominação internas e externas ao país.
Diário de campo. Um primo diferente na família das ciências sociais
Authors: Cachado Rita
Published: October 2021

Resumo O diário de campo é ferramenta praticamente incontornável nas práticas etnográficas; entretanto, nas publicações resultantes das pesquisas qualitativas que incorporam etnografia nem sempre se evidencia como foi utilizado.Conhecer aprofundadamente as potencialidades do diário de campo contribui para que os praticantes de etnografia saibam defender melhor seu método, sem cair nas críticas comuns à sua subjetividade.Neste artigo argumentoque o esclarecimento das condições de utilização do diário de campo nos resultados da etnografia fortalece a etnografia enquanto prática metodológica. Essa prática, normativa na antropologia, vem sendo cada vez mais utilizada na sociologia e demais ciências sociais.O diário de campo surge aqui como espaço central de acumulação de dados etnográficos, uma ideia de senso comum na antropologia que, um século depois de Malinowski, carece ainda de segurança epistemológica.
Alterações de rota na medicina - reescolhendo a especialidade médica
Authors: Gosling Flávio José , Bellodi Patrícia Lacerda
Published: October 2021

Resumo Transições profissionais na Medicina são particularmente difíceis para os médicos, devido ao tempo e ao custo da formação. O objetivo deste trabalho é compreender as experiências de médicos que reescolheram a sua especialidade, investigando motivação e as implicações da mudança. O método adotado foi um estudo qualitativo com entrevistas de profissionais que mudaram de especialidade. A pesquisa mostrou que entre os motivos para a mudança de especialidade estão a insatisfação com a área, mesmo com pouco tempo de prática, o estresse do cotidiano profissional e o estilo de vida. Apesar das críticas recebidas, os entrevistados demonstraram grande satisfação com a mudança. Como estratégia individual para lidar com a insatisfação, a mudança parece positiva. Entretanto, é importante refletir sobre o risco de vazio de significações para o sujeito e as práticas médicas.

Published: October 2021

Introduction: Stigmatization towards cancer is a barrier to early cancer screening and treatment. This study was conducted to determine the level of cancer stigma among Malaysian university students in Malaysia with different sociodemographic backgrounds.Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 400 students (mean age, SD = 22.22 ± 1.67 years) from a selected university in Malaysia. Data were collected from October 2019 to February 2020 through an online survey. The Cancer Stigma Scale (CASS) was used in assessing the levels of cancer stigma among university students with different courses and social backgrounds. The CASS was used in assessing multiple aspects of cancer stigma, including severity, personal responsibility, awkwardness, avoidance, policy opposition, and financial discrimination.Results: Data were analyzed using SPSS (version 23). Results showed that the stigmatization level toward cancer among university students varied across the six subscales. Items regarding the severity of a cancer diagnosis showed the highest level of agreement (32–52%; M = 3.05, SD = 0.96), whereas the item ‘avoiding someone with cancer’ showed the lowest agreement, 7–10% (Mean = 1.85, SD = 0.97). Stigma was significantly higher in young students, males, non-health science students, students in the junior year level, students without family histories of cancer, and the low-income group (p < 0.05).Conclusion: These findings may provide a benchmark of stigmatization level among university students in Malaysia and may be a valuable basis for delivering information and education on cancer screening and treatment.
Transforming the Dynamics of Climate Politics in Japan: Business’ Response to Securitization
Authors: Yamada Takahiro
Published: October 2021

In 2020, Japan suddenly changed course and made carbon neutrality its intermediate target. In an attempt to understand this drastic policy change, this article analyzes the effects of climate security discourses on the perception of the Japanese business community, which holds the pivotal position in Japan’s climate policy. It particularly focuses on the effect of securitization on the source–impact asymmetry, one of the intrinsic features identified as a major obstacle to effective climate governance. From this standpoint, the article measures the extent to which the issue of climate change has been securitized in Japan, and also the extent to which the Japanese business community has come to share the securitizers’ sense of exigency. In so doing, this article employs the text-mining method called KH Coder to analyze relevant government documents as well as statements issued by Keidanren (also known as Japan Business Federation). The analysis shows that the Ministry of the Environment together with other governmental actors has collectively securitized the issue within the context of Japanese society, but that its impact on industry has been indirect, pointing to the complexity of its causal impact.
Matching Effects in the Interaction of Ionic Surfactants with Fluorescent Reagents in Micellar Solutions of Triton X-100
Authors: Klovak Viktoriia , Kulichenko Sergey , Lelyushok Serhii
Published: October 2021

The influence of cationic and anionic surfactant solutions on the character of the fluorescence spectra of reagents of different charge and hydrophobicity in aqueous solutions of nonionic surfactant Triton X-100 has been studied. An increase in the fluorescence intensity and a shift in the position of the fluorescence maximum with increasing hydrophobicity of reagents and ionic surfactants have been shown. The analytical signal of the surfactant is further amplified in the proximity of the charge values of the reagent and the counterion of the surfactant. The non-monotonic nature of the hydrophobicity effect of cationic surfactants on their analytical signal in the system has been shown. The observed effects are explained by the realization of charge and hydrophobic matching in the interaction of surfactants with the fluorescent reagents. The obtained effects are significant in the design of fluorescent systems for the determination and study of surfactant micelles. Conditions for detecting the content of cetylpyridinium chloride by reaction with eosin Y and sodium tetradecyl sulfate by reaction with rhodamine 6G in the presence of Triton X-100 were proposed. The methods have been tested in detecting the content of the ionic surfactants in pharmaceuticals.

Immunohistochemical criteria of the functional placental maturity estimation
Authors: Aylamazyan Е. К. , Lapina Е. А. , Kvetnoy I. М.
Published: October 2021

Placental tissue produces more than 100 biologically active molecules: hormones, cytokines, growth factors, enzymes, and others. The correlations between pregnant women age and expression of melatonin, prolactin, CD34, NOsynthase, HLADR, CD35, Mcl1, p53 expression in villous chorion of human mature placenta have been shown. Computer image analysis is not recognized the differences in optical density and expression square values of above immunohistochemical markers either in mature and overmature pregnancy. These data demonstrate high functional activity of overmature placenta. Thus, it may be postulated that the aging of placenta is not connected with pregnancy duration but it is determined by the biological age of pregnant women.

It has the important signifity for diagnostics and threatment of transient hyperprolactinemia. The results of investigation have shown, that the PRL level in blood serum of women particularly fluctuated during menstrual cycle with growth in the second half of it. The optimal time of the blood sampling for PRL level measuring in the preserving menstrual cycle is the time of its maximal increase in the end of the hormonal cycle. The hormonal and menstrual cycle of women does not always correspond exactly by duration. The registration of rectal temperature may be used as the method of hormonal cycle control.

Published: October 2021

The role of mitophagy in hereditary optic neuropathies is considering in this review. Mitochondria are intracellular double membrane organelles. They are one of the main components of all eukaryotic cells, they perform many different functions in the cell. However, the main function of mitochondria is to supply cells with energy in the form of ATP. The ATP synthesis is carried out due to the respiratory chain five protein complexes work, the main components of the chain are located in the inner mitochondrial membrane. It is known that proteins that form all respiratory chain complexes (except II) are encoded by both nuclear and mitochondrial genes. The mitochondrial electron transport chain dysfunction leads to the mitochondrial diseases development, which can be a result of mutations both in mtDNA and in nDNA. The most common eye mitochondrial diseases are hereditary optic neuropathies (HON), such as Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON). The main cause leading to the disease are mtDNA mutations. These mutations lead to the respiratory chain complexes dysfunction (mainly I), which results in mitochondrial damage. To remove damaged mitochondria in time, cells have special regulatory systems. These systems are responsible for the damaged mitochondria detection, isolation and degradation through a specific form of autophagy, mitophagy. For normal functioning, cells need to maintain a constant balance between mitochondrial biogenesis and mitophagy. A violation of this balance leads to the disease. It was revealed that mitophagy, an important retinal ganglion cells protection mechanism, is impaired in patients with LHON. The mitophagy activation may have the therapeutic potential. Some pharmacological agents activate mitophagy and thereby slow down the disease development in patients with hereditary optic neuropathies, such as LHON. Some of them, such as rapamycin, trehalose, metformin, spermidine, NAD+ , are described in the review.

This article presents actual data on the retinal and optic nerve electrical stimulation. The physical basics of the electrical stimulation biological effect on cellular elements and nerve fibers are discussed. Ocular indications for electrical stimulation, as well as local and general contraindications are listed. Strategies of delivery and brief historical overview are given. The article presents current data on the electrical stimulation clinical effectiveness in the management of patients with degenerative and dystrophic diseases of the retina and optic nerve: age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, optic nerve atrophy and glaucoma optic neuropathy. The data on the clinical efficacy of electrophthalmostimulation in the treatment of patients with degenerative-dystrophic diseases of the retina and optic nerve: age-related macular degeneration, retinal pigment abiotrophy, optic nerve atrophy and glaucoma optic neuropathy are presented. Electrophthalmostimulation is a modern method of physical treatment of patients with diseases of the retina and optic nerve of a degenerative-dystrophic nature. The method is generally recognized and widely used in clinical work, not only traditionally on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also in world practice. In experiments and on animal models, the indisputable advantage of electrical stimulation of the retina and optic nerve has been proven — the etiopathogenetically determined preservation of the remaining and restoration of lost visual functions in case of ophthalmic diseases leading to blindness. Further development of this direction of electrotherapy includes standardization of the most effective techniques for various ophthalmopathologies and optimization of the parameters of courses and sessions of electrical stimulation of the retina and optic nerve. The latter presupposes the conduct of multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials with a sufficient volume of clinical material and reliable statistical processing of the results obtained.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a socially significant disease with a steady tendency to increase, in which there is a high risk of disability due to persistent loss of vision. There are three main pathogenetically substantiated methods of DR treatment: laser coagulation of the retina; intravitreal injections of VEGF inhibitors, steroid drugs; vitreoretinal surgery. In the later stages of DR, vitrectomy is the main method of its complications treating, but there is no clear understanding of the timeliness of this operation. The analysis of the results of original research on this problem is carried out. It has been shown that with the advent of new instruments, modified vitrector, operating microscopes, viewing systems and vitreoretinal combines, vitrectomy led to a change in the paradigm of DR treatment. These advances have resulted in better surgical control and greater precision, while at the same time shorter surgical times and fewer surgical complications. There is a tendency to perform vitrectomy at earlier stages of DR, which has a pathogenetic rationale. This could be a leap forward in the treatment of DR as a preventive measure against the development of proliferative DR.

Purpose: to establish the tomographic parameters to predict the recurrent of macular edema due to retinal vein occlusion.

Patients and methods. This is a retrospective study of 54 patients (54 eyes) with macular edema, no more than 3 months old, who had recurrent of macular edema after 3 intravitreal injections of aflibercept. Standard ophthalmological examination, spectral optical coherence tomography, intravitreal injections of aflibercept according to instruction, and statistical analysis of the data were conducted.

Results. Recurrence of macular edema developed on average 6.3 ± 1.2 weeks after three injections of aflibercept. We identified of the most significant prognostic tomographic parameters affecting the recurrent of macular edema during intravitreal injections of aflibercept — central foveal thickness > 500 μm (OR 2.1, p = 0.01), the presence of serous retinal detachment (OR 5.1, p = 0.001), the presence of hyperreflective foci (OR 3.7, p = 0.03), alteration of external limiting membrane (OR 4.7, p = 0.01), disruption of the photoreceptor innersegment/outer segment junction (OR 3.4, p = 0.01), disruption of retinal pigment epithelium (OR 2.1, p = 0.02).

Conclusion: the recurrent of macular edema with retinal vein occlusion during antiangiogenic therapy depends on baseline tomographic parameters. Our results can be important in predicting the duration and effectiveness of antiangiogenic therapy in a particular patient at the beginning of the disease, which makes the approach to management more personalized, promising in economic, social and psychological aspects.
Sosyal Medya Kampanyası Aracılığıyla Otizm Farkındalığının Ölçümlenmesi ve Arttırılmasına Yönelik Bir İletişim Çalışması

Published: October 2021

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı toplumun mevcut otizm farkındalığını ölçümlemektir. Ek olarak çalışmanın, yapısı gereği, otizm farkındalığının arttırılmasına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Çalışmada öncelikle otizmli bireylerin aileleri ile görüşmeler yapılmış; ardından Türkiye genelinde geniş bir örnekleme ulaşmak amacıyla bir sosyal medya kampanyası tasarlanmış ve toplumun farklı kesimlerinin dahil edildiği bir farkındalık araştırması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ağırlıklı olarak Instagram ve Facebook üzerinden yürütülen kampanya, medya dünyasından tanınmış kişilerce de desteklenmiş; reklam uygulamalarının yanı sıra organik iletişim aracılığıyla kampanya için tasarlanan web sitesine trafik sağlamıştır. Bu sayede, hem kampanya web sitesinde yer verilen farkındalık anketine coğrafi ve demografik açıdan çeşitliliğe sahip bir örneklemin katılımı sağlanmış hem de araştırma dışında otizm ile ilgili gerekli bilgiler site ziyaretçileri ile paylaşılmıştır. Aile görüşmeleri nitel, farkındalık araştırması ise nicel yaklaşımla yürütülen çalışma, karma desen bir araştırma olarak nitelendirilebilir. Araştırma sonucunda otizm konusunun merkezinde yer alan ailelerin görüşleri ile toplumun geri kalanının konuya bakışı ve farkındalık düzeyi bir arada değerlendirilmiştir. Genel bir ifadeyle, ailelerin yaşadığı kaygı ve problemlerin alandaki önceki çalışmaları desteklediği; toplumun otizm farkındalığının ise beklenen düzeyden düşük olduğu söylenebilir. Ailelerin problemleri arasında dışlanma ve sosyal ilişkilerde yaşanan olumsuzluklar öne çıkmasına karşın; araştırmanın diğer boyutunda yer alan katılımcıların otizmli bireylere ve ailelere yönelik olumlu tutumlara sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Gerek aileler gerek diğer bireyler otizmin medyada temsilinin problemli olduğu görüşünde birleşmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında yürütülen sosyal medya kampanyası, araştırmaya gönüllü katılımcı sağlama açısından planlanan hedeflere ulaşmıştır. Kampanyanın farkındalığı arttırma boyutunda ne derece etkili olup olmadığının değerlendirilmesi, çalışma kapsamı dışında olsa da elde edilen erişim ve etkileşimler bu yönde olumlu bir katkıya işaret etmektedir.

Problem statement. With the development of satellite navigation systems, new navigation BOC signals are being introduced. Since the structure of BOC signals differs from traditional BPSK signals, this complicates their processing, which may require hardware changes and often leads to the need to develop new ones. Objective. Synthesis and analysis of the BOC signal processing algorithm using two BPSK correlators, comparable in accuracy to the direct method. Results. The synthesis and analysis of the BOC signal delay tracking system using two correlators, originally designed to receive only BPSK-conducting signals, are carried out. The statistical characteristics of the delay discriminator are obtained. It is shown how the accuracy and sensitivity of the obtained delay tracking algorithm are correlated with respect to the reference algorithm, which assumes the use of a signal with a digital subcarrier in the reference signal of the correlator. The pull-in characteristic are obtained. Practical relevance. The processing algorithm BOC signals that doesn't require modification of the traditional correlators of the navigation receiver is presented. This algorithm is of great practical importance, since it allows for high-precision reception of modern BOC and AltBOC signals, despite the limitations characteristic of modern navigation equipment. For example, this algorithm allows to receive Galileo E5 signals using the popular NTLab NT1065 chip. A new signal pull-in algorithm is proposed. This algorithm allows to avoid abnormal tracking errors caused by the operation of the tracking system in the side zones of the s-curve. The pull-in characteristics for various receive conditions are given.
