Ziel des vorliegenden ersten Teils dieser Untersuchung war, unter definierten Bedingungen die Entstehung und weitere Entwicklung akzessorischer Bursen an den Gliedmaßen von Mastschweinen zu erfassen. Material und Methoden: 192 Masthybriden wurden von der Aufzucht bis zur Schlachtung unter konventionellen Haltungsbedingungen untersucht. Wöchentlich wurden die Parameter Allgemeinbefinden, Anzahl, Größe und Lokalisation der akzessorischen Bursen an Gliedmaßen und Sternum sowie Gang und Klauen erfasst. Ergebnisse: Akzessorische Bursen können an bis zu 13 Stellen an den Gliedmaßen bzw. dem Sternum auftreten. Es wurden bereits Ferkel mit akzessorischen Bursen in die Aufzucht eingestallt, die Prävalenz stieg während Aufzucht und Mast an und lag vor der Schlachtung bei 97,8 % der Tiere (Einstallung mit 4 Wochen: 25,5 %; Umstallung in die Mast mit 12 Wochen: 67,6 %). Schwere Tiere wiesen signifikant mehr und größere Bursen auf als gleichaltrige leichtere Tiere. Außerdem nahmen sie größere Futtermengen auf, riefen aber weniger häufig Futter ab. Tiere mit stärkeren Gangbildveränderungen zeigten signifikant mehr und größere Bursen. Am Schlachthof bestand bei 95,6 % der Tiere mindestens eine Klauenveränderung. Das Allgemeinbefinden wurde durch akzessorische Schleimbeutel nicht beeinträchtigt. Schlussfolgerung und klinische Relevanz: Eine Beeinträchtigung des Wohl-befindens hinsichtlich Schmerzempfinden durch akzessorische Bursen wird aufgrund der vorliegenden Ergebnisse und der Funktion als Schutzkissen nicht vermutet. Dennoch entstehen akzessorische Bursen in hoher Prävalenz und Anzahl pro Tier unter Einfluss verschiedener Faktoren erst im Laufe des Lebens und stellen eine Technopathie dar. Aufgrund der Exposition akzessorischer Bursen besteht das Risiko, dass diese sich infolge von Verletzungen zu eröffneten Grad-3-Bursen entwickeln.
ASSESSMENT OF THE RAILWAY INFLUENCE ON THE HEAVY METAL ACCUMULATION IN SOIL
Authors: Samarska A. V. , Zelenko Y. V.
Published: October 2018

Purpose. The scientific paper aims at analyzing the current state of the railway infrastructure soil contamination with heavy metals (HM), namely, the three stations of Prydniprovska railway: Kamianske-Pasazhyrske, Zaporizhzhia-Kamianske and Trytuzna. Methodology. The research object is the soil of the above mentioned railway stations, the research subject is the total content of HM. Sampling was carried out every 15 m between and outside both rails up to the end of railway ties. The total area of the investigated sites is 600 m2. The total form of Fe, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, Cd and Mn concentration was determined by the atomic absorption spectrometry method. The obtained data were compared with the background concentration of HM for Dnipropetrovsk oblast and the results of analyzing the reference control located at a distance of 250 m from the railway stations. Findings. It is found out that rail transport is a source of HM emission into soil. The findings indicate that the soil state of the Kamianske-Pasazhyrske station corresponds to a low ecological risk and a low degree of pollution, since the station is a passenger one only and pollution occurs mostly due to the friction of wheels and rails and that of the pantograph and overhead system, as well as the pesticide use. The soil contamination of the Zaporizhzhia-Kamianske station is characterized by a considerable potential environmental risk and a very high degree of pollution. This station is a cargo-passenger one, and this pollution level is mainly due to loading and unloading processes. The soil of the Trytuzna station is characterized by an average potential ecological risk and a moderate degree of pollution. Although this station is mainly used for the freight trains reformation, but due to the transportation of large volumes of bulk ore cargoes HM fall into soil. Besides, the station is not electrified. Recommendations for assessment of the soil pollution levels are given. Originality. For the first time the potential ecological risk of soil contamination was determined on the basis of the physical and chemical analysis of the HM content in the soil of the above-mentioned stations. Practical value. The results of the study can be used as a justification of the reasonability of introducing the environmental monitoring programs for the railway land, the environmental protection measures for the soil treatment from HM, correcting the railway exclusion zone, as well as protection of adjacent territories from the propagation and accumulation of the mentioned pollutants. The necessity and urgency of the constant control of the HM content in the railway soil and the relevance of the research continuation in this scientific direction are confirmed on the basis of the received data.
EFFICIENCY OF MODERNIZATION OF WHEEL-MOTOR BLOCKS (WMB) USING ANTI-FRICTION TRACTION MOTOR SUPPORT BEARINGS (TMSB)
Authors: Kapitsa M. I. , Hnennyi O. M. , Bobyr D. V.
Published: October 2018

Purpose. The use of anti-friction traction motor support bearings (TMSB) instead of plain friction traction motor support bearings is a priority direction of locomotive development both for newly constructed locomotives and for those in operation. The solution of the set tasks for introduction of wheel-motor blocks (WMB) with anti-friction bearings demanded the search for alternative variants and new technical solutions. The purpose of the article is to determine the feasibility of re-equipping the diesel locomotive wheel-motor blocks with anti-friction bearings through the life cycle calculation (LCC). Methodology. The procedure and criteria for assessing the economic efficiency of project (investment) proposals and investment projects approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine envisage that the cost-effectiveness analysis of an investment project is carried out according to the following criteria: net present value, internal rate of return, discounted payback period and profitability index. The use of these criteria of economic efficiency fully corresponds to modern principles, theoretical-methodical approaches and world practice in evaluating the efficiency of investments. The evaluation of the technical and economic efficiency of the modernization of the diesel locomotive wheel-motor block is made on the basis of calculation and comparison of the following criteria: the net present value (NPV) of modernization, the internal rate of return (IRR), the profitability index (PI) and the discount payback period. Findings. The results of the calculations of the values of the main criteria show that the innovative project for the modernization of the locomotive provides a high level of economic efficiency. At the same time, the value of the discounted payback period of investments in modernization indicates that it is expedient to carry out this operation if the residual life of the upgraded locomotive of the M62 series is at least 15 months. Originality. Taking into account the specifics of the type of locomotive work in freight traffic, we developed a method to determine the individual components of the average annual economic effect of modernization of the diesel locomotive wheel-motor block, which includes saving of oil costs, repairing and servicing the diesel locomotive wheel-motor unit, as well as change of TMSB brass and saving fuel costs for traction. Practical value. The results of the work make it possible to determine the expediency of modernization of diesel locomotives taking into account the features and conditions of their operation and the specifics of modernization.
Benjamin Netanyahu’s Long Premiership and the Rise of the New Political Center: Is there a Qualitative Change in the Israeli Party System?
Authors:   Jagiellonian University in Kraków (Poland), Skorek Artur
Published: October 2018

Israel’s party system has been characterized by the bipolar rivalry between the left-wing and right-wing blocks since the late 1970s. In recent years we could have seen at least two trends that seem to diverge from this model. For the last 9 years, the Likud party has formed three successive governments which have made Benjamin Netanyahu the longest continuously serving prime minister in the history of Israel. Another new occurrence is the preservation of a significant representation of the centre parties for four Knesset terms in the row. The aim of the paper is to verify whether Israel’s party system has departed from the two-blocs bipolar model. Based on the empirical data (election results, government formation, party’s political platforms) it examines whether the parties’ rivalry in the years 2009–2018 differed qualitatively from the previous period. To answer this question the paper investigates three hypotheses. First – Likud has become a dominant party in Israel. Second – a dominant and stable Israeli right-wing parties’ bloc has formed. Third – an enduring and relevant centre sector has emerged in Israel’s party system.
Israeli Innovation Policy: an Important Instrument of Perusing Political Interest at the Global Stage
Authors:   University of Wroclaw (Poland), Olszewska Karolina , Dyduch Joanna
Published: October 2018

Israel is perceived in the international environment as one of the top leaders in innovation. This is proven by the progressively high position of this country in international rankings and the participation of Israeli scientists and technologists in prestigious international programs. In this article, we claim that the aims of Israeli innovation policy, which has the biggest impact on the shape and content of the innovation ecosystem, are highly politicized. The status quo driven by the key assumption of the state strategy, according to which obtaining a competitive predominance in the political international environment will be achieved through economic instruments, primarily technological innovation. Therefore the aim of this article is to critically analyze Israeli innovation policy and the innovation ecosystem, paying special attention to the state interest and the government activities in this realm. For the purpose of this analysis, some basic assumptions of the neoliberal economy redefined by Arie Krampf will be utilized. Furthermore, to better describe and explain the link between politics and economy in the Israeli innovation ecosystem we will refer to the K.N. Waltz considerations on mechanisms of the political and economic system in a globalizing world.
Dual Citizenship in Poland and in Israel: Selected Legal Aspects in a Comparative Perspective
Authors:   University of Wrocław (Poland), Zawada Przemysław
Published: October 2018

The tragic years of World War II, followed by the unfriendly communist policy in Poland towards the Jewish community, changed the country from a multicultural into the most homogeneous state in the European Union nowadays. At the same time, Israel, as a meeting place for various cultures, enjoys the influence of inhabitants from nearly all over the world. The dissimilar experiences and problems faced by the governing bodies should influence different approaches to dual citizenship in Poland and Israel. In view of the above, in the presented work the author would like to analyze the issue of the legal approach to dual citizenship both in Poland and in Israel. The main goal of the paper, beyond comparison of the effectiveness of the legislation, is finding the answer to the question: what is the state’s attitude towards the issue of the dual citizenship of their citizens? The hypothesis that the article will verify states, that due to the small number of people with dual citizenship in Poland, Polish legislation devoted to this topic is not extensive and has dissimilarities to the law in Israel, which, in contrast, is more complex and better response to the needs of society. The reason for comparing Poland and Israel is the fact that Polish citizenship has been very popular among the citizens of the Jewish state, especially since 2004 when Poland became a member of the European Union. This issue, in the long run, may be one of the key determinants of Polish-Israeli and Polish-Jewish relations.
Israeli-Ukrainian Relations after ‘the Euromaidan Revolution’ – the Holocaust and the New Ukrainian Identity in the Context of the European Aspirations of Ukraine
Authors:   University of Wrocław (Poland), Bornio Jakub
Published: October 2018

The Euromaidan revolution totally reoriented Ukraine’s policy in both internal and external dimensions. The new Ukrainian authorities facing Russian aggression and domestic instability started to build a new national identity in order to consolidate social cohesion. Due to the fact that Kiev’s new historical narrative glorifies the Ukrainian nationalists from the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) who contributed to the Holocaust of Jews and committed mass murders on the representatives of other nationalities, such a policy may be a serious obstacle in the context of Ukraine’s external relations. The present article investigates particularly Israeli-Ukrainian relations after the Euromaidan revolution. The article analyses the impact of the new Ukrainian identity on bilateral relations as well as attempting to answer whether or not it may influence Kiev’s cooperation with the European Union. The article contains a brief description of the new identity building process in the post-Euromaidan Ukraine with special consideration of those elements of it, which are related to “Ukrainian Nationalism”.
Creating a National Identity through Agricultural Education in Mandatory Palestine
Authors:   University of Haifa (Israel), Yankelevitch Esther
Published: October 2018

Formation of agricultural education in high schools was a milestone in the early 20th-century history of Zionist education, and in the Jewish society in Mandatory Palestine in general. Agricultural education was a means of changing the character of the Jewish people by imparting agricultural knowledge and training. Candidates came from agricultural settlements, but mainly – and this was its uniqueness – they also came from the towns. In addition, agricultural education provided a framework for absorbing immigrant youth. This educational framework was, among other things, ideological because those who joined it were usually motivated by a desire to change the character of the Jewish society, return to the land and work it. The cost of funding agricultural schools was high for the local Jewish community, and therefore these schools remained dependent on private initiative and philanthropy. In spite of the widespread ideological support, not many students actually took part in agricultural education due to the high cost of tuition on the one hand, and the need to help support their own families on the other. It can also be said that during this period, parents who had the means to provide their children with higher education, favoured the “Gymnasium” high school model, which could lead to them engaging in other professions.
Choice of Language and the Quest for Israeli Identity in the Works of Tuvia Ruebner and Aharon Appelfeld
Authors:   Bar-Ilan University in Ramat-Gan (Israel), Ben-Horin Michal
Published: October 2018

Immigration highlights the question of language and raises the dilemma of the relationship between the mother tongue and the language of the new land. For writers this question is even more crucial: should they write in the language of the place and its readers? Immigration to Israel is not exceptional, of course. What choices are open to those writers, and how are they to convey the complexities inherent in the formation of an Israeli identity? This paper focuses on two writers who demonstrate the role played by the “chosen language” in the cultural construction and deconstruction of Israeli identity. Tuvia Ruebner emigrated from Bratislava, Aharon Appelfeld from Bukovina. Ruebner shifted from German to Hebrew and back to German; Appelfeld wrote only in Hebrew. In both cases, their arrival in Israel enabled them to survive. However, the loss of their families in Europe continued to haunt them. Inspired by Walter Benjamin’s concept of ‘translation’ and responding to Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari’s concept of ‘minor literature’, the paper shows how their work conveys a multilayered interrelation between national and foreign languages, and between images of exile and homeland, past, present and future – all of which shed light on contemporary issues of Israeli identity.
Some New Suggestions for Solving the Israeli–Palestinians Disputes
Authors:   Tel Aviv University (Israel), Biger Gideon
Published: October 2018

Many suggestions have been presented for solving the Israeli – Palestinian dispute. As for now, none of those suggestions, presented during more than thirty years of negotiations, have been accepted by both sides. As for this, some new ideas have to be entered into the arena. Here some new, “out of the box”, geographical proposals are presented, based on actual events and geographical realities which exist in other areas. These proposals could be seen as un-human or politically wrong suggestions but as all other proposals were rejected, the decision makers of both sides, as well as the leaders of the world, can use the presented suggestion as a base for future negotiations.

Authors: Pereira Gabriela Magalhães , Soares Nayron Medeiros , Souza Andreo Rysdyk de , Becker Jefferson , Finkelsztejn Alessandro , Almeida Rosa Maria Martins de
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, progressive and neurodegenerative disease. A disturbance on the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis can be observed in patients with MS, showing altered cortisol levels. We aimed to identify basal cortisol levels and verify the relationship with clinical symptoms in patients with MS. A systematic search was conducted in the databases: Pubmed, Web of Science and SCOPUS. Both higher and lower cortisol levels were associated with MS. Higher cortisol levels were associated with depression and anxiety, while lower levels were associated with depression, fatigue and urinary dysfunction. Higher cortisol levels may be associated with the progression and severity of MS.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: To analyze the demands in the field of mental health from the perspective of teenagers. Method: A descriptive study with a qualitative approach, having comprehensiveness as an analytical category. It was carried out with 21 teenagers of both genders, students of two public schools of a municipality of the countryside of Bahia state. The empirical material was produced through reflection workshops and analyzed through the technique of Discourse Analysis. Results: Teenagers value the indissociability between body and mind, recognize lack of attention to the psychological dimension in the health network, and point to mental disorders as resulting from contexts of life and lack of Health Care. Conclusion: Health services need to be structured to attract teenagers, to recognize singularities through professionals trained in welcoming, listening and accountability. It is urgent to fulfill what is defined in public policies and in specific programs, and that comprehensiveness has a centrality as a perspective to be realized.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the perception of drug users about “being a family” in the context of their psychosocial rehabilitation. Method: based on the theoretical-philosophical reference of Maurice Merleau-Ponty. It was carried out with eleven users of the Center for Psychosocial Care Alcohol and other Drugs (CAPS AD) in a municipality in the South of Bahia, Brazil, through the Focal Group, in August 2015. The resulting material was submitted to the Ambiguity Analytical Technique. Results: the readings of the descriptions allowed the definition of the thematic category: Nuances of being family: materialist and existential view. Final considerations: the results of the study converged to the understanding that the user of alcohol and other drugs recognizes the “being a family” from two dimensions: a more materialistic, and an existentialist, which need to be considered in the process of psychosocial rehabilitation of this user.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the relationship of post-traumatic stress symptoms and the perception of social support in women submitted to Severe Maternal Morbidity (SMM). Method: A prospective cohort study, with 549 women from public hospitals. The Impact of Events and Social Support scales were used. Results: Women with SMM were from the State countryside (p=0.046), with low schooling (p=0.039) and did not work (p<0.001). They presented higher consumption of alcoholic beverages (p<0.001), did not perform prenatal (p<0.001), and were older (28.15 ± 28 years). Women with SMM had higher mean values of avoidance behavior (24.32, SD: 4.16), intrusive thinking (18.28, SD: 3.80), lower social support (0.11, SD: 0.001) with large effect size and lower social support satisfaction (0.69; SD: 0.19), with small effect size. Conclusion: SMM is a differential and negative factor for women’s mental health, and social support can favor their coping.

Authors: Jafelice Giovana Telles , Marcolan João Fernando
Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze how professionals understood the multi, inter and transprofessionality and how these practices happened in the CAPS (Psychossocial Care Centers) of São Paulo/SP. Method: Qualitative, exploratory, descriptive study, and use of Content Analysis. We interviewed 27 professionals from nine CAPS. Results: Organized in two categories: definition of multiprofessional, interprofessional and transprofessional work in Mental Health; and specific aspects of professions and Conceptions about multi, inter and transprofessional teamwork in daily life. There were difficulties in conceptualizing modalities of disciplinary integration, little problematization in the reality of workers, and questions of specific practices of each area. The devices have been problematized, in which the distancing of Public Policies happen. Final considerations: There is coexistence of the biomedical, of insane asylum and Psychosocial Care paradigms in the discourses and actions of the teams, to compromise the effectiveness of the Psychiatric Reform. The practice was close to the ideas of integration and of auxiliary interdisciplinarity and not of the effective construction of shared therapeutic knowledge and projects.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the discourse of women on the interface between marital violence and alcohol use by the partner. Method: qualitative exploratory research, based on the methodological reference of oral history. We interviewed 19 women with a history of marital violence and involvement with drugs. The data were analyzed through discourse of the collective subject. Results: the participants’ discourse points to consumption of alcohol by partners as a potentiating element of violent episodes, also experienced by their parents, signaling to its transgenerational character; it also calls attention to the danger of marital violence resulting from men’s reactions to having their alcohol consumption questioned by their partners. Final considerations: the study identifies alcohol as a precipitating and/or potentiating factor of conjugal violence, as well as the intergenerational character of violence based on male domination and intolerance.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: To know the experience of nurses of the Psychosocial Care Networks on the development of Nursing Appointment in Mental Health. Method: Qualitative study, with interview of 20 nurses, through the analysis of the statements in the search of the meaning core. Results: was unveiled as meaning core: lack of preparation for Mental Health Care, Non-identification of the work of the nurse in Mental Health; and Performance of Nursing Appointment as bureaucratic fulfillment. Final considerations: Nurses understand Nursing Appointment as an individualized and bureaucratic activity, to consider professional regulations, and not as a work process in the multiprofessional work, thus, the Projeto Terapêutico Singular (freely translated as Unique Therapeutic Project) is not cited as a possibility of work process. It was identified necessary space for discussion of actuation and updates of the nurse in Mental Health Care in the health services studied, with emphasis on their performance in a multiprofessional team in consonance with the Mental Health Policy.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the perception of the relatives of crack users in relation to the support groups offered to this population in a Psychosocial Care Center for Alcohol and Drugs in the South of Brazil. Method: the fourth-generation theoretical framework was used for evaluation, having as methodological device the hermeneutical-dialectic circle. Data collection occurred through 500 hours of observations and interviews with 12 relatives of crack users, and the comparative constant method was used in the analysis, generating the “family group” unit of meaning. Results: this group was regarded by the family members as a space for guidance on the management of users in their home environment. They reported the need for a basic structure to conduct the groups, greater duration of the meetings, confidentiality of information and diversity of timetables. Final considerations: investment in education and training of nursing professionals focused on group care is suggested to the education institutions.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: evaluate how the crack user is portrayed by the media. Method: qualitative study, using fourth generation evaluation. The data were collected in interviews and field observations in a mental health network service of the Porto Alegre-RS metropolitan area. The participants were 10 users, 11 family members, 08 health service professionals and 07 managers. Results: the findings revealed that media relates the crack user profile to violence, crime and disease, which does not correspond to the reality experienced in the health service. This image disregards the different ways of using the drug and the different productions of life of these individuals, increasing social exclusion and stigma. Final considerations: The challenge is to build shared, integrated, clear and honest information.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand how nurses of mental health care for psychiatric patients with clinical comorbidities. Method: qualitative study based on the referential of historical and dialectical materialism. Interviews with nurses were conducted using semi-structured script. Sample determined in snowball. The interviews were recorded and transcribed in full. The data were analyzed through content analysis, including: organization and exhaustive reading of the material, exploration, grouping data into thematic units, processing of results, and interpretation. Results: the role of nurses is marked by the dialectic between knowing and not knowing, a movement that revealed two categories: clinic of psychiatric nursing, and alienation and subordination of nurse in the care process. Final considerations: the development of the nursing clinic, based on the therapeutic relationship, favors integral care towards the patient, whereas alienation/subordination distances the nurse from care and impairs care.

Published: October 2018

ABSTRACT Objective: to analyze the prevalence of various anxiety disorders among mental and behavioral disorders as a cause for the leave of absence of workers in the state of Piauí. Method: transversal census-based study performed with data from the National Social Security Institute. Four-hundred twelve leaves of absence of workers due to anxiety disorders in the 2015-2016 biennium were included. Results: higher prevalence was found for mixed anxiety-depressed disorder (31.2%), followed by other anxious disorders (20.6%) and generalized anxiety (14.1%). Ages from 22 to 45 years old prevailed in the group of individuals with duration of absence greater than or equal to 41 days, with statistically significant difference (p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant association (p = 0.004) between rural activity and increased time of absence. Conclusion: the study draws attention to the prevalence of “other anxiety disorders” as the cause of leave of absence, with emphasis on mixed anxiety-depressed disorder.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar benefícios e desvantagens do posicionamento em decúbito ventral em relação ao de Lloyd-Davies, de pacientes submetidos à amputação abdominoperineal de reto. Métodos: estudo retrospectivo de 56 pacientes submetidos à amputação abdominoperineal de reto por neoplasias de reto distal e de canal anal, tratados no Hospital Central da Santa Casa de Misericórdia de São Paulo entre 2008 e 2017. Resultados: a média de idade dos pacientes foi de 63,08 anos, sendo 48,2% deles mulheres e 51,8%, homens. Adenocarcinoma foi o tipo histológico em 94,6% dos casos e carcinoma espinocelular em 5,4%. A posição de Lloyd-Davies foi a adotada em 66,1% das cirurgias e a posição ventral em 33,9%. No momento da cirurgia quatro pacientes apresentavam metástases sincrônicas: hepática (um caso), pulmonar (um caso) e hepática e pulmonar simultâneas (dois casos). Tratamento neoadjuvante foi realizado em 85,7% dos pacientes. Complicações pós-operatórias tardias ocorreram em 13 pacientes operados na posição clássica e em um paciente operado em decúbito ventral. O tempo de sobrevida global para o grupo operado na posição clássica foi, em média, de 45,7 meses, enquanto que no grupo operado em decúbito ventral foi de 15,5 meses. Conclusão: o grupo da posição ventral apresentou menor necessidade de infusão de volume intravenoso intraoperatório e menos complicações pós-cirúrgicas tardias, enquanto que o grupo Lloyd-Davies obteve melhores tempos cirúrgicos e anestésicos. Recidiva, tempo livre de doença e sobrevida global devem ser avaliados em um tempo maior de seguimento.

RESUMO Objetivo: comparar o resultado do escore de Alvarado com os achados cirúrgicos e com os resultados do exame histopatológico do apêndice de pacientes operados por apendicite aguda. Métodos: estudo observacional com delineamento transversal de 101 pacientes com 14 anos de idade ou mais, submetidos à apendicectomia de urgência. A avaliação continha o escore de Alvarado, pontuação no escore, sexo, idade, etnia dos pacientes e tempo de evolução. Foi obtido o aspecto cirúrgico do apêndice, dados a respeito das complicações pós-operatórias e o resultado do exame histopatológico. O intervalo de confiança pré-estabelecido foi de 95%. Foram calculadas sensibilidade, especificidade, valor preditivo positivo e negativo do escore, e realizada uma análise através da curva ROC. Resultados: a associação entre o escore de Alvarado e a confirmação diagnóstica utilizando como ponto de corte uma pontuação maior ou igual a seis encontrou-se significância estatística (P=0,002), com sensibilidade de 72% e especificidade de 87,5%. A pontuação maior ou igual a seis mostrou maior tendência a apresentar fases mais avançadas da apendicite aguda tanto no aspecto cirúrgico quanto histopatológico, quando comparado a uma pontuação menor que seis. O sexo masculino apresentou maiores chances de complicações quando comparado ao sexo feminino (P=0,003). Conclusão: o escore de Alvarado se mostrou um bom método para triagem diagnóstica na apendicite aguda, já que pontuações maiores ou iguais a seis estão associadas a uma probabilidade maior de confirmação diagnóstica e de quadros mais avançados da doença aguda.

RESUMO A aquisição de habilidades psicomotoras em cirurgia é o componente central dos programas de residência médica em Cirurgia Geral e Especialidades. Tornar o aprendizado mais efetivo é ponto basilar dos processos educacionais. Esse artigo retrata os aspectos das taxonomias educacionais e teorias de aprendizagem que podem ser envolvidas no treinamento da cirurgia. Entre as inúmeras taxonomias e teorias educacionais aplicáveis no aprendizado em cirurgia destacam-se: 1) Taxonomia de Dave- Hierarquização a ações que facilitam a aquisição de habilidades psicomotoras; 2) Teoria de Miller- Definição do passo a passo que facilita a aquisição das habilidades; 3) Teoria de Ericsson- Competência após a repetição da prática seguida de reforço sistemático; 4) Teoria de Vigotsky- Definição do papel do especialista no aprendizado; 5) Teoria de Boud, Schon e Ende- Importância da devolutiva (feedback) para alunos e professores. O conhecimento dessas ferramentas por professores e preceptores pode facilitar o aprendizado na cirurgia, em especial nas atividades mais complexas.

Abstract The formation of artificial lake due construction of a hydroelectric plant causes irreversible environmental impacts. Studies associated with these artificial lakes for the Brazilian semiarid region are still insufficient. Thus, the objective of this study is to provide new information on the trends of climatic extremes, dependent on rainfall and air temperature, for the Sobradinho Hydroelectric Power Plant (SHPP) lake region, through the analysis of climate change indices. This study is particularly important for the SHPP region because microclimate changes have significant impacts on the natural, social and economic sectors. For the two analyzed stations (Bebedouro-PE and Mandacaru-BA), it is not possible to affirm that the construction of the SHPP artificial lake altered the local microclimate. Trends of increase in maximum temperature, the number of hot days and diurnal temperature range were noticed. However, the rise of these indices cannot be attributed to the formation of the SHPP lake. The influence of the SST of Tropical Oceans on the temporal behavior of some of the indices used in this study may have contributed to increases in hot days and nights, maximum temperature, diurnal temperature range and consecutive dry days over the region.
Textos que dão voltas por aí: Borges, Katchadjian, obra e autoria na literatura contemporânea
Authors: Rocha Rejane Cristina
Published: October 2018

Resumo Este artigo propõe a discussão de um caso, que teve início com a publicação de El aleph engordado, de Pablo Katchadjian, posteriormente levado a juízo por Maria Kodama, viúva de Jorge Luis Borges e detentora dos seus direitos autorais, e que ganhou repercussão com a criação da página no Facebook “Apoyo a Pablo Katchadjian” e com a vinculação do site #JoBorges ao movimento de defesa de Katchadjian. A maneira como a apropriação do texto de Borges por Katchadjian bem como a forma como a obra de ambos os escritores passam a circular em rede são discutidas a partir de pressupostos relacionados à circulação do literário no contexto digital, para refletir de que maneira podem ser compreendidos, na contemporaneidade, os conceitos de autoria, autor e obra.

ABSTRACT Objective: This work evaluates the relationship between ultrasonic reflection and bone density from fourteen cylindrical bovine cortical bone samples (3.0-cm thick). Methods: Twenty US reflection signals per sample were acquired along the bone surface (2.0-mm step). The Integrated Reflection Coefficient (IRC) from each signal was compared to Quantitative Computed Tomography (QCT). Results: Seven IRC and QCT curves presented Pearson's Correlation R-values above 0.5. For weak correlation curves, QCT and IRC showed similar trends in several segments. Conclusion: IRC was sensitive to bone density variation. Level of Evidence: Experimental Study, Investigating a Diagnostic Test.
Cyberbulling: conceituações, dinâmicas, personagens e implicações à saúde
Authors: Ferreira Taiza Ramos de Souza Costa , Deslandes Suely Ferreira
Published: October 2018

Resumo O estudo buscou realizar a revisão crítica de um conjunto de revisões bibliográficas no intuito de conhecer como o cyberbullying é compreendido pela comunidade científica, como o fenômeno vem sendo conceituado, como suas dinâmicas têm sido descritas, quais personagens identificados e quais as associações apontadas à saúde das pessoas intimidadas e dos perpetradores. A literatura mostrou que não há um consenso sobre a conceituação de cyberbullying, contudo há argumentos que defendem sua especificidade e diferenciação em relação ao bullying. Ele pode ocorrer a qualquer momento e sem um espaço demarcado fisicamente, pode ser disseminado globalmente, o tempo de permanência das postagens ofensivas é indeterminado. Quanto à questão de gênero associada a essa prática, observou-se um viés reducionista do debate, indicando diferenças baseadas numa suposta superioridade tecnológica dos meninos. Os estudos revisados apontam que tanto as vítimas quanto os praticantes de cyberbullying vivenciam experiências negativas em sua saúde psicológica e comportamental, podendo ocorrer inclusive evasão escolar, isolamento social, depressão, ideação suicida e suicídio. Todavia, pouco se problematiza sobre a cultura cyber e como esta estabelece novas socialidades – conhecimento e debate cruciais à compreensão do fenômeno.

Published: October 2018

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é analisar narrativas sobre as experiências de abortar disponíveis em uma comunidade online, buscando discutir os métodos e estratégias aos quais as mulheres recorrem frente à impossibilidade legal de interrupção voluntária de gravidez e os efeitos da criminalização do aborto induzido. Como método, utilizou-se a etnografia virtual, com observação da plataforma Women on Web, coleta e análise de 18 narrativas, disponíveis publicamente e sem restrições, selecionadas entre novembro de 2016 e janeiro de 2017. As narrativas informam métodos mesclados para a realização de aborto, com prevalência de utilização do medicamento Cytotec. Em alguns casos, hospitais e consultórios médicos são incluídos nos itinerários, seja para realização de exames ou para atendimento de intercorrências. A internet se revela uma ferramenta de informação, negociação e mesmo aquisição de medicamento abortivo bastante comum, além de uma plataforma de troca de experiências. Conclui-se que as narrativas sinalizam as inseguranças, riscos e violências às quais estão submetidas as mulheres no contexto da clandestinidade, indicam a importância do debate sobre a descriminalização do aborto no Brasil, e também reforçam a existência de uma cultura compartilhada do aborto, já apontada em estudos anteriores.
