Authors: Hanif Jati Pambudi  , Ario Lukito Adi Nugroho  , Liliek Handoko  , Firstya Evi Dianastiti
Published: February 2023

Pandemi Covid-19 menjadi topik yang selalu diperbincangkan oleh masyarakat secara langsung maupun secara daring sejak tahun 2020 lalu. Hal ini terlihat dari penuhnya pembahasan Covid-19 di media massa cetak maupun elektronik. Tak hanya itu perbincangan tersebut juga gencar menjadi topik utama dalam obrolan di media sosial, seperti Twitter. Melihat antusiasme masyarakat terhadap Twitter memantik munculnya sekelompok pendengung (buzzer) yang mempunyai tujuan dan kepentingan tertentu, baik untuk mempromosikan sesuatu sampai pada tema politik. Penelitian ini membahas dimensi tekstual, praktik kewacanaan, dan dimensi sosiokultural kicauan dari akun @permadiaktivis1 dalam menggiring opini terkait pandemi dan vaksin dengan mendukung pemerintah. Pendekatan metodologis yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif kualitatif, sedangkan pendekatan teoretis merujuk pada metode Analisis Wacana Kritis (AWK) Norman Fairclough. Hasil penelitian dalam dimensi tekstual menemukan bahwa Permadi Arya beberapa kali mengonfrontasi pemikirannya dengan beberapa tokoh publik dalam menyikapi suatu peristiwa Covid-19, yaitu AA Gym, Najwa Shihab, Hidayat Nur Wahid, dan Bintang Emon. Penutur sama sekali tidak pernah menyalahkan pemerintah terkait kebijakan yang dikeluarkan untuk menangani pandemi Covid-19. Hal ini membuktikkan bahwa pendengung bekerja untuk membela satu pihak. Selain itu, sindiran dan ajakan menjadi pola dari kicauan tentang topik Pandemi Covid-19. Sindiran yang diberikan dapat menjadi bumerang kepada pihak pemerintah. Lebih lanjut, jika buzzer hanya fokus pada sindiran dan konfrontasi dikhawatirkan akan ada misinformasi yang diterima pembaca.
Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Resource Allocation Approach for Wireless Networks Considering Network Slicing Paradigm
Authors: de Souza Lopes Hudson Henrique , Coelho Rocha Flávio Geraldo , Teles Vieira Flávio Henrique
Published: February 2023

In this paper, we present an approach for resource scheduling in wireless networks based on the Network Slicing (NS) paradigm using Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm. More specifically, we propose a joint power and Scheduling Block (SB) allocation algorithm for networks with NS. The reinforcement learning algorithm applied to the resource allocation problem is formulated using state transitions regarding the system dynamics. We also present an algorithm, namely Network Slicing based on Reinforcement Learning (NSRL) that combines the proposed reinforcement learning based resource allocation with an approach based on reservation and sharing of resources among the slices where each RL agent acts in one slice. Simulations are carried out considering User Equipments (UEs) within a small cell coverage area - (Small Cells) with different Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) based on a simplified NS scenario with fifth generation wireless network (5G) characteristics. In the simulations, two slices are considered for the UEs: one considering Ultra-reliable and Low Latency Communications (URLLC) and other related to enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB) services. Simulation results show that the NSRL algorithm efficiently allocates power and SBs, outperforming other algorithms in the literature.

Published: February 2023

Atuar no Planejamento Familiar faz parte da competência do enfermeiro, no auxílio do casal ou da mulher para a utilização dos métodos, tanto naturais quanto artificiais, para conseguir ou evitar gestações. Os métodos artificiais podem trazer efeitos colaterais para muitas mulheres que não se adaptam a eles. Por essa razão, esta pesquisa sobre os métodos naturais foi realizada com o interesse de encontrar na literatura nacional e internacional as intervenções do enfermeiro sobre esses métodos, que contribuem para que a mulher, ou mesmo o casal, possa ter o controle e o conhecimento sobre seu corpo e fertilidade, sem outros malefícios. O escopo guiado pela mnemônica PCC (Problema, Conceito e Contexto) contou com a seleção de 17 artigos e trouxe à tona três grandes categorias de intervenções realizadas pelo enfermeiro: Educação em Saúde da mulher e da família; Educação continuada profissional; e Anamnese clínica e Planejamento Familiar. Além delas, alguns achados importantes como a inserção da tecnologia na prática do enfermeiro são apontados como grandes facilitadores das práticas de Planejamento Familiar, bem como pelas altas taxas de eficácia identificadas. O estudo, ao cumprir com seu objetivo, traz ao enfermeiro informações e ferramentas para prática clínica, estimulando o aprofundamento sobre o tema.
polissemia de “gema” em diacronia
Authors: Maroneze Bruno Oliveira
Published: February 2023

O substantivo “gema” apresenta diversas acepções, aparentemente não-relacionadas, dentre as quais destacam-se: “porção interna do ovo”; “protuberância do caule das plantas que dá origem aos ramos; broto”; e “pedra preciosa”. Neste squib, com base sobretudo em obras lexicográficas, procuramos identificar quais acepções são diacronicamente mais antigas e quais são derivadas de outras. Pudemos identificar que a acepção “broto” é provavelmente a original, da qual deriva a de “pedra preciosa”, ambas presentes em latim; e a acepção “porção interna do ovo” é provavelmente uma inovação do espanhol, que passa em seguida ao português. As duas hipóteses para explicá-la são: 1) a gema do ovo seria a sua parte mais preciosa, assim como a pedra; 2) a gema do ovo é capaz de gerar um novo ser, assim como o broto de uma planta.
Study on Implementation of Lean Six Sigma in Hospital Auxiliary Ship Block Construction Process

Published: February 2023

During the pandemic, transportation is needed to support the evacuation of patients through waterways; therefore, PT PAL Indonesia (Persero) has created a Hospital Auxiliary Ship project. In building a quality Hospital Auxiliary ship project, productivity is needed so the project can be completed properly. However, there are problems with the punctuality of completing the ship block construction with a total lead time of 19200 minutes and found the block quality is not up to standards like Surface Porosity, Former Stopper, Arc Strike, and Low Bead defects that require a rework process and cause long cycle times. This study aims to reduce the lead time value and minimize waste or activities that are not value-added using the lean six sigma method with stages (DMAIC). From the results of the study, it was found that the identification of the Process Activity Mapping (PAM) design, which resulted in the highest waste rating, namely 16.94% defect, with CTQ-4, lean six sigma value of 3.055 sigma and DPMO value of 59917 which was included in the excellent category for the industry average. The factors causing the problem were identified with Pareto diagrams and causal diagrams to determine the dominant type of defect and the causes of wastage of defects; there are four factors, namely material, human, machine, and environment. Recommendations for the improvement of waste are through material inspection, operator training, reworking defective blocks, and minimizing non-value-added activities. With the design of process activity mapping (PAM) and value stream mapping, the efficiency of ship block construction can increase from 67.81% to 74.06%.

Published: February 2023

In addition, to their established role in cardiac myocytes and neurons, ion channels encoded by ether‐a‐go‐go‐related genes (ERG1‐3 or kcnh2,3 and 6) (kcnh2) are functionally relevant in phasic smooth muscle. The aim of the study was to determine the expression and functional impact of ERG expression products in rat urinary bladder smooth muscle using quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunocytochemistry, whole‐cell patch‐clamp and isometric tension recording. kcnh2 was expressed in rat bladder, whereas kcnh6 and kcnh3 expression were negligible. Immunofluorescence for the kcnh2 expression product Kv11.1 was detected in the membrane of isolated smooth muscle cells. Potassium currents with voltage‐dependent characteristics consistent with Kv11.1 channels and sensitive to the specific blocker E4031 (1 μM) were recorded from isolated detrusor smooth muscles. Disabling Kv11.1 activity with specific blockers (E4031 and dofetilide, 0.2–20 μM) augmented spontaneous contractions to a greater extent than BKCa channel blockers, enhanced carbachol‐driven activity, increased nerve stimulation‐mediated contractions, and impaired β‐adrenoceptor‐mediated inhibitory responses. These data establish for the first time that Kv11.1 channels are key determinants of contractility in rat detrusor smooth muscle.
Effect of tool traverse speed on joint line remnant and mechanical properties of friction stir welded 2195-T8 Al–Li alloy joints
Authors: Zhang Qingsong , Yan An , Chen Ke , Dong Fengbo , Jia Hongde , Wang Min
Published: February 2023

AA2195-T8 Al–Li alloy plates were welded by friction stir welding (FSW) at tool rotational speed of 1,000 rpm and tool traverse speeds (TS) of 100–400 mm·min−1 under three types of butting surface conditions, i.e., (1) without butting surface treatment, (2) butting surface milled, and (3) bead-on-plate welding. The effect of welding heat input and butting surface condition on joint line remnant (JLR) and mechanical properties of friction stir welded 2195-T8 Al–Li alloy was investigated comprehensively. In the stir zone of 2195-T8 FSW joints, there exists JLR composed of alumina-particle arrays and microcracks generated from the initial butting surface, and the morphology of JLR would evolve from smooth to serrate as TS increases. Moreover, as TS increases (i.e., the welding heat input decreases), JLR deteriorates the tensile strength of the 2195-T8 FSW joints, with joints prematurely fracturing along JLR. The fracture mode of 2195-T8 FSW joints was considered to be determined by the lower one between strength of JLR (S
JLR) and strength of the lowest hardness zone (S
LHZ), and JLR tends to be the fracture path at lower welding heat input. Furthermore, butting surface treatment (milling off oxide layer prior to welding) was found to be able to make the JLR in the 2195-T8 FSW joints less distinct and thus improve S
JLR, while fracture along JLR could not be avoided.

Long-Range α-Synchronization as Control Signal for BCI: A Feasibility Study
Authors: Esparza-Iaizzo Martín , Vigué-Guix Irene , Ruzzoli Manuela , Torralba-Cuello Mireia , Soto-Faraco Salvador
Published: February 2023

Shifts in spatial attention are associated with variations in α band (α, 8–14 Hz) activity, specifically in interhemispheric imbalance. The underlying mechanism is attributed to local α-synchronization, which regulates local inhibition of neural excitability, and frontoparietal synchronization reflecting long-range communication. The direction-specific nature of this neural correlate brings forward its potential as a control signal in brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). In the present study, we explored whether long-range α-synchronization presents lateralized patterns dependent on voluntary attention orienting and whether these neural patterns can be picked up at a single-trial level to provide a control signal for active BCI. We collected electroencephalography (EEG) data from a cohort of healthy adults (n = 10) while performing a covert visuospatial attention (CVSA) task. The data show a lateralized pattern of α-band phase coupling between frontal and parieto-occipital regions after target presentation, replicating previous findings. This pattern, however, was not evident during the cue-to-target orienting interval, the ideal time window for BCI. Furthermore, decoding the direction of attention trial-by-trial from cue-locked synchronization with support vector machines (SVMs) was at chance level. The present findings suggest EEG may not be capable of detecting long-range α-synchronization in attentional orienting on a single-trial basis and, thus, highlight the limitations of this metric as a reliable signal for BCI control.

Shear stress control of vascular leaks and atheromas through Tie2 activation by VE‐PTP sequestration
Authors: Shirakura Keisuke , Baluk Peter , Nottebaum Astrid F , Ipe Ute , Peters Kevin G , McDonald Donald M , Vestweber Dietmar
Published: February 2023

Vascular endothelial protein tyrosine phosphatase (VE‐PTP) influences endothelial barrier function by regulating the activation of tyrosine kinase receptor Tie2. We determined whether this action is linked to the development of atherosclerosis by examining the influence of arterial shear stress on VE‐PTP, Tie2 activation, plasma leakage, and atherogenesis. We found that exposure to high average shear stress led to downstream polarization and endocytosis of VE‐PTP accompanied by Tie2 activation at cell junctions. In aortic regions with disturbed flow, VE‐PTP was not redistributed away from Tie2. Endothelial cells exposed to high shear stress had greater Tie2 activation and less macromolecular permeability than regions with disturbed flow. Deleting endothelial VE‐PTP in VE‐PTPiECKOmice increased Tie2 activation and reduced plasma leakage in atheroprone regions. ApoE−/−mice bred with VE‐PTPiECKOmice had less plasma leakage and fewer atheromas on a high‐fat diet. Pharmacologic inhibition of VE‐PTP by AKB‐9785 had similar anti‐atherogenic effects. Together, the findings identify VE‐PTP as a novel target for suppression of atherosclerosis.
Józef Zmitrowicz – wybitny działacz społeczny w Białymstoku w latach 1916–1921
Authors:   Uniwersytet w Białymstoku, Ułanowicz Mateusz
Published: February 2023

The main point of this publication is to present the activity of Józef Zmitrowicz in Białystok in the years 1916–1921. The author has decided to deal with this subject beceause the figure of Józef Zmitrowicz is little known among the inhabitants of Białystok. It is also worth highlighting, that the activity of Józef Zmitrowicz in this city is also forgotten in his official biographies. Józef Zmitrowicz (1879–1980) was a famous lawyer, educator, parliamentarian and pro-independence activist. He studied at St. Petersbourg and Kharkov. In the inter war period, he was a solicitor in Vilnus and then, after the second world war, in Olsztyn. He came from Vilnus to Białystok in November 1916. He became a teacher and director in Polish Real Gymnasium beceause his predecessor – priest Stanisław Hałko – was arrested by the Germans. Józef Zmitrowicz also managed a scouts group in Białystok and participated in many community initiatives. In 1919 he became a parlamentarian in the Legislative Assembly. Józef Zmitrowicz was a great patriot and a very religious person as mentioned by his protégé Michał Sopoćko – currently a blessed of the Catholic Church. I have used the publications by J. Dworakowski, M. Goławski, M. Kietliński, J. Dziemian and others while working on the biography of Józef Zmitrowicz. The parliamentary and senate transcripts as well as press articles, contained mainly in „Dziennik Białostocki”, were very helpful. While writing about the activity of Józef Zmitrowicz in Białystok, I have also used the collection of archives of the Sixth King Sigismund Augustus High School in Białystok – inheritor of the traditon of the Polish Real Gymnasium in Bialystok.
Major dr med. Ludwik Krzewiński – twórca polskiej narkoanalizy

Geneza, organizacja, personalia, [in:] Sekretna wojna, Z dziejów kontrwywiadu II RP, ed. Z Nawrocki, Poznań 2015) and later described (Widacki, J., The use of narcoanalysis by Polish counterintelligence in the 1930s, “European Polygraph” 2021, vol. 15, No. 1 (53), pp. 41-51; Idem: Stosowanie narkoanalizy przez polski kontrwywiad w okresie międzywojennym, “Studia z Dziejów Państwa i Prawa Polskiego” 2021, vol. 24, 13-30) how the Second Department of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces used narcoanalysis (“injections debilitating the will”) for counterintelligence purposes in the 1930s. Captain Ludwik Krzewiński, MD, is believed to have been the creator of Polish narcoanalysis, as he designed both the recipes and the technique of their application. Little was known and written about the officer himself, as he even has no separate entry in T. Dubicki and A. Suchcitz’s fundamental four-volume biographical dictionary (Oficerowie wywiadu WP i PSZ w latach 1939–1945, Warszawa–Łomianki, 2009–2019). However, the life history of Krzewiński, and especially the remarkable fate of that officer of the Second Department of the General Staff in the wake of the September 1939 campaign, has as yet not been analysed by the historians of Polish intelligence. Its investigation required examining archives stored both in Poland (Central Military Archives, Archives of New Records (AAN), the State Archive in Warsaw, and the archives of the Institute of National Remembrance) and in the US, as well as inclusion of accounts by members of Krzewiński’s family discovered in the United Kingdom. This article is the product of the research described above.

A case report of mispositioned bilateral catheterization of the umbilical arteries in a neonate and review of the literature
Authors: Lotfy Eldawy Mohamed , Elsayed Osman Reda , Laban Mohamed , A Abdelhadi Abdelhadi
Published: February 2023

Background: Arterial catheters are frequently needed to optimize the intensive care in the sick newborn. Umbilical Arterial Catheters (UAC) is more popular than peripheral arterial catheterization. They are utilized to provide continuous accurate arterial blood pressure monitoring, frequent assessment of gas exchange efficiency, frequent blood sampling and rarely for exchange blood transfusion. Umbilical Arterial Catheters may be used in emergencies to infuse fluids or medications in the absence of venous access. Malposition of the Umbilical Arterial Catheter requires immediate attention. The main complication of UAC malposition is obstruction of the arterial lumen of a small caliber branching artery. This may lead to impedance of arterial flow and predisposes to arterial thrombosis and embolism. Case Presentation: We present a rare case of bilateral UAC catheterization where the second umbilical artery was erroneously catheterized instead of the intended umbilical vein. Conclusion: This case reinforces the need for thorough assessment of the position and course of any recently inserted umbilical vascular catheter.

Under-Two Children Hunger Levels in Indonesia
Authors: Diana Rita , Andam Putri Yuliana Livi
Published: February 2023

Objective: To analyze the hunger level of toddlers under 2 years old using the Under-two Children Hunger Index (CHI). Methods: This study used secondary data from the Indonesian Basic Health Survey 2018. This study focused on the development of measurement for under-two children hunger index (CHI) using six indicators of the prevalence of chronic energy deficiency in pregnant women; the prevalence of risk height of pregnant women; the prevalence of under-two children who never being breastfeed; the prevalence of malnutrition for under-two children; the prevalence of wasting for under-two children; and the prevalence of stunting for under-two children. These six indicators were weighted differently and were calculated using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) method.Results: The calculation of CHI using loading factors as weighted indicators has a higher precision with the percentage of 94.12 percent. With a 2018 CHI score of 46.40, Indonesia is at a serious CHI level. From the 34 provinces in Indonesia, 47.06% of provinces are at an extremely alarming level, 8.82% are at an alarming level, 17.65% are at a serious level, 17.65% are at a moderate level, and 8.82% are at a low level. Efforts can be performed by the government to increase the CHI based on the 6 indicators mentioned above.Conclusion: Based on this analysis, 25 provinces need attention in terms of the CHI level with six, three, and sixteen provinces suffered from a serious, alarming, and extremely alarming levels of CHI, respectively. Nevertheless, CHI is dynamic and should be updated annually to assess the province’s achievement in eradicating hunger. This time-series data is very important to evaluate government programs and programs to accelerate the eradication of under-two children's hunger should focus on the six indicators in this study.

ABSTRACT Objectives: to analyze the effects of sexuality on depressive symptoms and quality of life in older adults. Methods: a cross-sectional and analytical study, developed with 596 older adults, who completed four instruments for data collection. Data were analyzed using the Kruskal-Wallis test and Structural Equation Modeling, with a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: among the sexuality dimensions, only physical and social adversities exerted statistically significant effects on depressive symptoms (SC=-0.095; p=0.003), but with low magnitude. Moreover, all sexuality dimensions had statistically significant effects on quality of life, being of low magnitude for sexual act (SC=0.171; p=0.010) and for physical and social adversities (SC=0.228; p<0.001), and moderate magnitude for affective relationships (SC=0.474; p<0.001). Conclusions: effects of different magnitudes were observed between sexuality dimensions on participants’ depressive symptoms and quality of life.

RESUMO Objetivos: analisar os efeitos da sexualidade na sintomatologia depressiva e qualidade de vida de pessoas idosas. Métodos: estudo transversal e analítico, desenvolvido com 596 pessoas idosas, que preencheram quatro instrumentos para a coleta dos dados. Os dados foram analisados com o Teste de Kruskal-Wallis e a Modelagem de Equações Estruturais, com Intervalo de Confiança de 95%. Resultados: dentre as dimensões da sexualidade, somente as adversidades física e social exerceram efeitos estatisticamente significantes na sintomatologia depressiva (CP=-0.095; p=0,003), porém com fraca magnitude. Além disso, todas as dimensões da sexualidade exerceram efeitos estatisticamente significantes na qualidade de vida, sendo de fraca magnitude para o ato sexual (CP=0.171; p=0,010) e para as adversidades física e social (CP=0.228; p<0,001), e moderada magnitude para as relações afetivas (CP=0.474; p<0,001). Conclusões: observaram-se efeitos de diferentes magnitudes entre as dimensões da sexualidade sob a sintomatologia depressiva e qualidade de vida dos participantes.

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the morphology of the branches of celiac trunk (CT), left gastric (LGA), common hepatic (CHA), and splenic (SA) arteries in cadaveric specimens from a sample of a Colombian population. Methods: descriptive cross-sectional study of 26 blocks from the abdominal upper segment of human cadavers who underwent forensic autopsies at the Instituto de Medicina Legal at Bucaramanga, Colombia. The vascular beds of the celiac trunk were, subsequently, perfused with a semi-synthetic resin. Results: the diameters of LGA, CHA, and SA were 3.6±0.8mm, 5,2±1.2mm, and 5.9±1.0mm, respectively. Statistically, LGA and SA were different (p=<0.001). SA followed a linear trajectory in 8 (31%) samples, slightly tortuous in 4 (15%), and tortuous in 14 (54%). The tortuosity index was 1.25±0.18. Of the branches of CHA, the proper hepatic artery (PHA) had 4.8±1.2mm in diameter and 18.8±9.1mm in length, whereas the gastroduodenal artery (GDdA) had 4.1±0.8mm. In 2 cases (7.7%), an accessory hepatic artery from the LGA was found to supply perfusion to the left hepatic lobe. Finally, in 2 cases (7.7%) the SA came independently from the abdominal aorta. Conclusion: the observed emergence incidence of the CT branches from the same level as reported in the literature is lower. The characterization, along with their variants, of LGA, CHA, and SA must be considered in surgical procedures in the upper abdominal segment, to avoid iatrogenic complications.

RESUMO Objetivo: comparar o impacto das técnicas Bypass Gástrico em Y de Roux (BGYR) e Gastrectomia Vertical (GV) na redução do peso corporal ao longo de 1 e 5 anos após a cirurgia bariátrica em pacientes obesos no Estado do Paraná. Métodos: estudo longitudinal e retrospectivo, realizado entre janeiro de 2010 a dezembro de 2013, com 737 pacientes de ambos os sexos submetidos a BGYR ou GV e avaliados no pré-cirúrgico, 1 e 5 anos após Cirurgia Bariátrica (CB). Foram registrados idade, estatura, peso corporal, Índice de Massa Corpórea (IMC), parâmetros bioquímicos e pressóricos. Resultados: do total de pacientes, homens representavam menor frequência, eram ligeiramente mais velhos, com maior peso corporal, IMC e pior condição metabólica e pressórica que mulheres no pré-CB (p<0,05). Independente do sexo, BGYR e GV foram efetivas em promover redução do peso corporal e IMC em 1 e 5 anos pós-CB; tendo a técnica de BGYR maior impacto nestas variáveis em ambos os sexos (p<0,05). A maior porcentagem de peso perdido foi observada em mulheres submetidas a técnica da BGYR no primeiro ano após a CB. Cinco anos após a CB, a técnica de BGYR promoveu maior taxa de redução de peso corporal em homens e mulheres comparado a técnica da GV (p<0,05). Conclusão: independente do sexo a técnica de BGYR promove maior grau de redução do peso corporal e IMC ao longo do tempo em comparação com a GV; tendo seus maiores impactos no 1 ano pós-CB sobretudo em mulheres.

ABSTRACT: Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae is one of the most challenging respiratory pathogens involved with swine pneumonia worldwide, responsible for a chronic infection with high morbidity, which predisposes secondary bacterial infections in growing and finishing pigs. Advances in diagnostic techniques allowed identification of genetic characteristics associated with high antigenic and proteomic variability among bacterial strains. This study aimed to evaluate the genetic diversity of M. hyopneumoniae strains in lungs with pneumonic lesions obtained from 52 pig farms located in Minas Gerais, one of the largest swine production states in Brazil. Genotyping was performed using multilocus variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) analysis (MLVA), targeting two loci encoding P97 and P146 adhesins VNTR. The results showed that this agent is widely disseminated in pig farms and there is a high polymorphism of M. hyopneumoniae variants circulating in the state of Minas Gerais. Different M. hyopneumoniae genotypes are randomly distributed in several regions of the state, with no specific geographic population structure pattern. M. hyopneumoniae association with viral agents was sporadic (3.17% with Influenza A and 1.9% with PCV2).

Resumo Estratégias de buscas mal formuladas podem apresentar grandes influências nos resultados de uma metanálise, uma vez que impacta diretamente na quantidade e aderência ao tema dos trabalhos utilizados para estudo, portanto, a formulação de uma estratégia de busca consistente e funcional é fundamental para que a revisão sistemática atinja seus objetivos. O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar o impacto de diferentes estratégias de busca em uma revisão sistemática por meio da realização de uma metanálise para estimação de herdabilidade para a característica mastite em gado de leite. Uma vez definidas as estratégias de busca, as pesquisas realizadas nas bases de dados Web of science, Scopus, Scielo e Pubmed retornaram 921 estudos dos quais, após passarem pelos processos de identificação, seleção, elegibilidade e inclusão, 25 estudos foram selecionados. Retiradas dos artigos selecionados, 26 estimativas de herdabilidades foram utilizadas na realização da metanálise. Utilizou-se um modelo de efeito aleatório, sendo todas as análises realizadas pelo programa R, por meio do pacote Metafor. As estimativas obtidas através da estatística combinada de estudos para mastite, apresentou valores de baixa magnitude (0,05 e 0,06). Os efeitos das estratégias de busca têm impacto significativo nas estimativas de metanálise produzidas.

Published: February 2023

RESUMO Neste artigo, refletimos sobre a escrita de agradecimentos em teses e dissertações na área de educação. Selecionamos uma amostra de textos de cinco programas de pós-graduação de universidades públicas, um em cada região do país. Fizemos uma leitura indiciária dos textos, partindo do caráter autobiográfico e narrativo desse tipo de escrita. Encontramos aspectos ligados à religiosidade; relações afetivas e familiares; convivência com o orientador, professores e funcionários da universidade; vínculos de amizade e coleguismo; e apoio de agências de fomento. Sinalizamos marcas de reconhecimento das dificuldades e a persistência na pesquisa e escrita; formalidade, ironia ou estratégia de protesto; a reflexão do percurso; e a percepção do próprio processo formativo. Concluímos com o caráter político da escrita dos agradecimentos, considerando seu compromisso social com a produção do conhecimento e com o processo coletivo e humanizador do trabalho investigativo em educação.
A relação educativa na creche como forma de parentalidade positiva: contributos de uma etnografia em creches de Portugal
Authors: Rocha Cristina , Araújo Gervásio
Published: February 2023

RESUMO O artigo baseia-se numa observação etnográfica exploratória em quatro creches acolhendo crianças dos 3 meses aos 3 anos na cidade do Porto, em Portugal. O roteiro da observação etnográfica e da escrita foram os princípios da parentalidade positiva. Sendo psiquiatras, preocupados com a transmissão intergeracional dos transtornos que afetam a saúde mental a partir da infância, focamo-nos nas interações dos adultos com as crianças - educadoras de infância e auxiliares de educação. O objetivo foi alargar o âmbito da parentalidade positiva e evidenciar a importância dos seus princípios na relação entre profissionais de educação e crianças pequenas na creche. Salientam-se, como principais resultados, que os princípios da parentalidade positiva - conhecer, proteger e dialogar com a criança - estão, de uma maneira geral, presentes nas creches, ainda que não explicitados, e apresentam variâncias segundo o ambiente educativo de cada instituição, o qual é permeável ao meio social de origem das crianças.

RESUMO A pandemia do coronavírus trouxe uma ruptura sem precedentes à sociedade, com isso, os impactos fomentados pela crise também se estenderam para as instituições de ensino. O objetivo deste trabalho foi investigar se as atividades de ensino superior podem ser consideradas um fator estressor no contexto pandêmico. A amostra foi constituída por 136 alunos com atividades acadêmicas remotas e 131 com atividades acadêmicas suspensas, os quais responderam um questionário sociodemográfico e uma pergunta aberta sobre os fatores que têm elevado o seu nível de estresse nos meses de abril, maio, junho e julho de 2020. Os corpora textuais foram processados com o auxílio do software Interface de R pour les Analyses Multidimensionnelles de Textes et de Questionnaires. Como resultados, observaram-se diversos fatores estressores relacionados ou não com as atividades acadêmicas para ambos os grupos, embora a realização de atividades acadêmicas digitais tenha sido apontada com grande frequência. Assim, as atividades acadêmicas digitais estão relacionadas com o nível de estresse entre os alunos.
