AbstractMulticultural education is the harmonious coexistence of differences in terms of race, ethnicity, social class, religion, language, gender, and cultural characteristics in the educational setting. Multicultural education can be possible with teachers who are sensitive, aware of the existence of different cultures, respectful of differences and free from prejudices. This study aims to investigate the multicultural efficacy level of pre-service teachers. The data collection tool, ‘The Multicultural Efficacy Scale’ was applied to 588 pre-service teachers studying at the Faculty of Education at a public university in the 2021 – 2022 academic year. Three key aspects of their multicultural efficacy level were investigated: ‘experience, attitude, and self-efficacy’. The overall multicultural efficacy level was found to be moderate. It was revealed that the pre-service teachers who live in metropolises, were included in pre-school education, have been abroad, and have a foreign friend have more multicultural experience. The study hopes to contribute to exhibiting the multicultural efficacy level of pre-service teachers. It has pedagogical implications for pre-service teachers in that they should be trained and given more knowledge about multicultural education so that they can meet the expectations of today’s era.Key words: attitude; experience; multicultural education; pre-service teachers; self-efficacy---SažetakMultikulturno obrazovanje je skladan suživot različitih rasa, skupina različitih etničkih pripadnosti, društvenih klasa, religija, jezika, spola i kulturnih obilježja u obrazovnom okružju.

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Necrotising fasciitis (Fournier’s gangrene) is a bacterial inflammation of the subcutaneous tissues and skin, involving the urogenital area. The treatment is complex, with a high risk of systemic infection. A key aspect of treatment is antibiotic therapy. Materials and methods: The analysis involved 30 hospitalised patients with Fournier’s gangrene. An attempt was made to determine the relationship between laboratory parameters, types of pathogens, patterns of antibiotic susceptibility/resistance, and treatment outcomes. Results: The average value of Fournier’s Gangrene Severity Index (FGSI) was 4.37 ± 2.87. In the study group, a total of 18 (60%) patients had an infection caused by a single bacterial strain, while 12 (40%) had infections caused by multiple strains. The most commonly identified bacteria was Escherichia coli (53.33%) – 50% of monocultural infections and 58.33% of polyculture infections. The majority of bacteria were sensitive to piperacillin–tazobactam – 22 (73.33%) patients, clindamycin – 20 (66.66%) patients, and metronidazole – 18 (60%) patients. The highest percentage of antibiotic resistance was observed for cefuroxime – 19 (63.33%) patients, ciprofloxacin – 19 (63.33%) patients, and ceftriaxone – 17 (56.66%) patients. The average hospitalisation length was 30.03 ± 23.01 days. The overall mortality rate was 13.33% (n = 4). No correlation was found between the type of pathogen, hospitalisation length or mortality. No differences were observed in the results of laboratory parameters, FGSI, or length of hospitalisation in the analysed subgroups. Conclusions: Effective treatment of Fournier’s gangrene requires performing a wound swab culture as quickly as possible and implementing a targeted antibiotic therapy. There is no single laboratory parameter that can predict treatment outcomes and patient prognosis. There are no differences in the clinical course and prognosis between multibacterial and monobacterial infections.

Kabuki syndrome (KS1: OMIM 147920, KS2: OMIM 300867) is a rare disorder characterised by dysmorphic face and limbs, microcephaly, short stature, and concomitant multiorgan congenital defects. The prevalence is estimated at 1:32,000–86,000 live births. Most patients are also diagnosed with mild to moderate intellectual disability. Molecular diagnosis includes an analysis for the two most common mutations in KMT2D (KS1), also known as MML2, and KDM6A (KS2) genes. Children diagnosed with Kabuki syndrome require multidisciplinary care. This paper presents detailed case reports of two children diagnosed with Kabuki syndrome, who presented with different manifestations of kidney disease. One of the patients required kidney transplantation, which determines the length and quality of life.

Foreign bodies in the nasal cavity, paranasal sinuses, and orbit are commonly related to high-velocity maxillofacial injuries. Cases of foreign bodies in paranasal sinuses are very rare. They may present with non-specific symptoms which make them easily neglected during history taking and clinical assessment. High clinical suspicion and radiological assessments are essential in patients with high-velocity insult to rule out the possibility of impalement injury. The course of management is determined by the location and type of foreign body. We share a rare case of metallic foreign bodies in the orbitoethmoidal region which took a combined surgical and conservative course of treatment involving a multidisciplinary team.

Published: December 2023

Calprotectin (CP) is an inflammatory marker. The aim of the current study was to investigate oxidative stress and changes in CP in cattle with traumatic reticuloperitonitis (TRP). The study was divided into two groups, experimental (TRP) and healthy control group, with 10 animals in each group. Total leucocyte count, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts were higher in the TRP group compared to the control group and this increase was statistically significant (P < 0.001). The level of malondialdehyde (MDA) in TRP group was statistically significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.001). The level of glutathione (GSH) in the TRP group was statistically significantly lower than in the control group (P < 0.001). Serum Amyloid A (SAA) and CP values were higher in the TRP group and this difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). It was concluded as a result of ROC analysis that CP, which has similar values with SAA, can be used diagnostically to confirm the inflammatory status in cattle with TRP.

Zoomorficzne aspekty obrazu Boga w Biblii
Authors: Wajda Anna Maria
Published: December 2023

Certain animals mentioned in the Bible are invoked by inspired authors as symbols of God, His Son, or the Holy Spirit. They serve to visually represent demonstrations of God’s Power, Wisdom, and Providence in a symbolic and plastic manner. The authors, despite a clear tendency to anthropomorphize and transcendentalize, used familiarity with the appearance and behavior of animals like the lion, bear, panther, wolf, eagle, bull, lamb, pigeon, hen, and even serpent to portray God and His actions. The correct presentation of the zoomorphic aspects of the image of God on a theological level requires reference to various fields of knowledge. This approach allows a better understanding of the ignificance of animals in everyday life and the culture of the inhabitants of ancient Israel. The research, conducted on three levels—zoological, cultural, and biblical-theological—has demonstrated that literary motifs related to the aforementioned representatives of the faunal world are not only topoi that constitute the heritage of general human culture. Some of them are the biblical tradition’s unique contributions to this culture, such as the symbolism of the lamb.

Purpose. The main purpose of this work is to solve the problem of designing a longitudinal profile, provided that the volume of earthworks is rationally distributed and the width of the right-of-way is reduced when designing a road on the ground in conjunction with the landscape. Methodology. The study was conducted in accordance with the requirements of SBS B.2.3–4:2015 regarding the need to comply with the principles of landscape design and the use of rational combinations of plan elements and longitudinal profile to ensure the smoothness of the road, as well as its relationship with the environment to reduce destruction and preserve the existing landscape in each case. Findings. The paper considers two options for drawing the design line relative to the ground line: in the first option, the design line is drawn based on the condition of approximate equality of the volumes of excavations and embankments, in the second – on the condition of designing the longitudinal profile with the maximum permissible slopes to reduce the value of the working elevations. The research confirms that designing the longitudinal profile with maximum slopes leads to a decrease in the working elevations of embankments and excavations. This, in turn, leads to a reduction in the width of the road right-of-way. In the case of a balanced distribution of embankment and excavation volumes, the width of the right-of-way increased by 1.6 times. However, the use of soil from the excavations for embankment filling (the so-called longitudinal dumping) reduced the total cost of earthworks by 27%, despite the increase in the width of the right-of-way. Originality. Methodological approaches to determining the scope of work and cost of subgrade construction are proposed, provided that the width of the right-of-way is minimized during the design of the road. The cost of the subgrade is represented by two components – the cost of soil development and transportation and the cost of land occupation. Practical value. The results obtained in the course of the research work indicate that the task of determining the scope of work and cost of the subgrade construction, while minimizing the width of the right-of-way during the construction of the road, has been solved. The provided recommendations will contribute to the effectiveness of design solutions, determine the quality of the road project in general and the feasibility of its implementation in particular.
Substantiation of the Escalator Tunnel Construction Technology Based on the Results of Field Research
Authors: Bielikova S. I. , Tiutkin O. L.
Published: December 2023

Purpose. The authors aim to substantiate a new technology for the construction of an escalator tunnel in Ukraine based on the results of field studies performed as part of surveying measurements during the construction of the inclined run of the Dnipro metro. Methodology. The article analyzes the main technology of the escalator tunnel construction, which was based on the development of an inclined working from top to bottom with preliminary preparation of the massif by means of artificial soil freezing. Several cases of application of the bottom-up escalator tunnel construction method using the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM), which is successfully used in metro of other countries, are considered. The main principle of the method is that a shotcrete system is used as a temporary (primary) support, and a reinforcement system with monolithic concrete is used as a permanent support. Findings. The authors analyzed the peculiarities of the escalator tunnel excavation of the Dnipro metro by the Turkish company «Limak» in 2017–2018. It was noted that the excavation was carried out from the bottom up in conditions of strong rock (plagiogranite) using drilling and blasting operations. The characteristic results of field studies during drilling and blasting operations in the process of developing the calotte are analyzed. On the basis of these data, it is possible to trace the tendency to the appearance of minor overburden during sinking. The value of the deformed state (displacement of the contour of the designed casing) is within the normative limits, which indicates the effective use of these works within the framework of NATM. It is proved that in the conditions of military operations, the technology of building an escalator tunnel from the bottom up is a guarantee of the safety of workers and equipment. Originality. The results of the scientific work presented in the article make it possible to determine the level of deformed state during the excavation of the escalator tunnel of the Dnipro metro in hard rocks. During the field studies, the dependences of deformation of plagiogranite in the inclined bore were obtained. Practical value. An alternative technology for the construction of a bottom-up escalator tunnel based on NATM with the provision of normative deformation of the surrounding rock mass is substantiated.
The association between social support and self-rated health in midlife: are men more affected than women?
Authors: Passarelli-Araujo Hisrael
Published: December 2023

Abstract: Social support from family and friends is recognized as an important social determinant of health, given its protective effects on individuals’ physical and mental well-being. While most studies have focused on older adults, investigating midlife health is equally crucial since middle-aged individuals are also susceptible to the harmful health outcomes of inadequate social support from friends and family. This study contributes to the debate by examining whether social support is associated with self-rated health among middle-aged Brazilian adults and how this relationship varies between men and women. Using data from the nationwide Brazilian National Health Survey conducted in 2019, logistic regression models were employed to assess differences in self-rated health, accounting for confounding factors. The sample comprised 31,926 middle-aged adults, of which 52.5% were women. The overall prevalence of poor self-rated health was 40.7%, with a significant difference between men and women. Results from this study suggest that having no friends or family members to rely on, both during good and challenging times, was associated with poorer self-rated health. However, the strength of this association differs by gender, with social support from friends playing a more critical role in women’s self-rated health. On the other hand, family support was associated with male self-rated health, particularly for men with three or more family members they can rely on. Future studies should consider cultural and contextual factors to better understand other dimensions of social support and its association with midlife health.

Published: December 2023

Resumo: Os objetivos foram descrever a prevalência de procura por serviços de saúde entre adolescentes brasileiros e investigar sua associação com características contextuais do território. O estudo utilizou dados da Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde de 2019, realizada com 43.774 indivíduos de 10 a 19 anos. A informação do adolescente foi obtida por meio de um morador proxy de 18 anos ou mais que respondia por si e por todos os moradores da casa. A regressão de Poisson foi utilizada para avaliar a procura por serviços de saúde de acordo com região geopolítica, situação censitária e tipo de município. Também foi avaliada a interação da variável “plano de saúde” nessas associações. Do total, 11,7% (IC95%: 11,1; 12,3) dos adolescentes procuraram serviços de saúde nas duas semanas anteriores à pesquisa. Maiores prevalências de procura foram observadas nas regiões Sudeste (RP = 1,32; IC95%: 1,15; 1,52) e Sul (RP = 1,31; IC95%: 1,13; 1,52) em comparação à Região Norte do país. O acesso a plano de saúde aumentou a busca pelos serviços por adolescentes residentes nas áreas rurais e nas capitais e municípios das Regiões Metropolitanas e/ou Regiões Integradas de Desenvolvimento. O estudo evidenciou baixa prevalência de procura por serviços de saúde entre adolescentes e desigualdades contextuais para a região geopolítica. Ter plano de saúde foi um marcador importante para entender as disparidades na situação censitária e no tipo de município.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Introduction: The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has resulted in worrying effects related to the “new” habits adopted by the population. The long period of school closures and social isolation have profoundly impacted the learning, health, and protection of children and adolescents. Objective: To re-evaluate school athletes quarantined by COVID-19, highlighting the main physical activity (PA), eating and sleeping habits, and the implications related to physical and mental health after one year of the pandemic in the city of Curitiba, Brazil. Methods: Two surveys were conducted, 342 attended the first assessment, and 222 attended the second. An online questionnaire (Google docs) was applied to the students, consisting of 18 closed and open questions in the first moment (beginning of the pandemic) and 22 at the second moment (after one year of the pandemic). Results: Half of the students (53.2%; 57%) reported eating up to three meals daily. With regard to sleeping hours, the majority of students (80%; 79.5%) were able to sleep at night between 6:00 and 10:00. There was a significant decrease in the time spent on social networks, migrating to school activities (p <0.005). Approximately a quarter of the student-athletes (27%) practiced PA every day and felt fulfilled in the first assessment, and in the second assessment, this number increased to 43% (p = 0.009). Conclusion: Despite the decrease in screen time and the increase in regular PA, there was an increase in body weight in more than a third of the athletes evaluated. Those who maintained their body weight maintained healthier lifestyles with several meals within the recommended range and slept 6 to 10 hours per night.

RESUMO Introdução: A pandemia provocada pelo COVID-19 resultou em efeitos preocupantes relacionados aos “novos” hábitos adotados pela população. O longo período de fechamento das escolas e o isolamento social têm impactado profundamente a aprendizagem, a saúde e a proteção de crianças e adolescentes. Objetivo: Reavaliar atletas escolares submetidos à quarentena por COVID-19, destacando os principais hábitos de atividade física (AF), alimentação e sono e as implicações relacionadas à saúde física e mental após um ano de pandemia na cidade de Curitiba, Brasil. Métodos: Foram realizadas duas pesquisas, 342 compareceram à primeira avaliação e 222 à segunda. Foi aplicado aos alunos um questionário online (Google docs), composto por 18 questões fechadas e abertas no primeiro momento (início da pandemia) e 22 no segundo momento (após um ano de pandemia). Resultados: Metade dos alunos (53,2%; 57%) relatou fazer até três refeições ao dia. Quanto ao horário de sono, a maioria dos alunos (80%; 79,5%) conseguiu dormir à noite entre 6h00 e 10h00. Houve diminuição significativa do tempo gasto nas redes sociais, migrando para atividades escolares (p <0,005). Aproximadamente um quarto dos alunos atletas (27%) praticava AF todos os dias e se sentiu realizado na primeira avaliação, e na segunda avaliação esse número aumentou para 43% (p = 0,009). Conclusão: Apesar da diminuição do tempo de tela e do aumento da AF regular, houve aumento do peso corporal em mais de um terço dos atletas avaliados. Os que mantiveram o peso corporal foram os que mantiveram estilos de vida mais saudáveis com várias refeições dentro da faixa recomendada e que dormiam de 6 a 10 horas por noite.

ABSTRACT Introduction: During basketball, players’ movements represent a reaction to an unpredictable single or complex external stimulus (nonplanned agility). Objective: The present study aimed to compare the test of nonplanned agility to the planned agility test and to increase the knowledge of perception, decision-making, anticipation, and motor abilities of female basketball players. Methods: Thirty-six female basketball players (age: 18.81 ± 2.58 years) performed The Reaction Time and Defensive Sliding Test (RTADST) on the first day and the T-test the following day. Results: there were no statistically significant correlations between the RTADST and T-test at the whole sample level or between perimeter and post players. The T-test and Fat % correlation is significant at the 0.05 level, while the other analyzed correlations were insignificant. Perimeter players achieved better results on the RTADST test. There were no significant differences between perimeter and post players on the T-test. Conclusion: The RTADST and T-test are testing different abilities. We recommend the use of the RTADST to coaches and conditioning experts. Level of Evidence II; Diagnostic Study Investigating a Diagnostic Test.

Published: December 2023

RESUMO O Treinamento Intervalado de Alta Intensidade (HIIT) promove adaptações semelhantes e em alguns casos, superiores ao treinamento aeróbico contínuo de intensidade moderada, mesmo quando executado em intensidades all out. Nesta condição, tende a maior perturbação fisiológica e acúmulo de metabólitos comparado a intensidades submáximas, sendo um dos principais fatores associados a resposta negativa de prazer no treinamento. Objetivo: Verificar qual relação entre respostas fisiológicas e psicofisiológicas na intenção de repetir o treinamento de dois protocolos HIIT de mesmo volume load e distintos períodos de trabalho, em adultos treinados de ambos os sexos. Métodos: Em experimento randomizado, a amostra foi composta por 9 indivíduos com idade entre 28±5 anos, massa corporal 69,6±14,2 kg, estatura 169±0,1cm, IMC 24,1±2,3 kg/m2 e percentual de gordura corporal 20,2±7,9% praticantes de exercícios físicos aeróbicos estruturados por pelo menos seis meses. Realizaram dois diferentes protocolos de HIIT em bicicleta ergométrica, sendo (I) protocolo 1:0,5, com intensidade prescrita (80-90% da FCmáx), (II) protocolo 1:2 com intensidade prescrita (all-out) com duração total de esforço de 20 minutos e intervalo de pelo menos 48 horas entre cada sessão. Foram analisados frequência cardíaca (FC), pressão arterial sistêmica (PAS), percepção subjetiva de esforço (PSE), escala visual analógica (EVA), resposta afetiva (FS), divertimento (PACES) e intenção de repetir a sessão. A análise estatística usada foi ANOVA com post-hoc de Tukey (p<0,05). Resultados: As análises da FC, PAS, EVA, PACES e PSE não apresentaram diferença significativa entre os protocolos de treinamento. As respostas afetivas (FS e intenção de repetir) apresentaram maior declínio no protocolo 1:0,5, porém sem significância (p>0,05). Conclusão: Os dados permitem concluir que o protocolo 1:2 provocou maiores perturbações fisiológicas durante esforço e apresentou maior resposta afetiva positiva e intenção de repetir a sessão de exercício, variáveis que podem vir a contribuir na aderência à prática regular de exercícios físicos.

RESUMO Objetivo: Estudar as alterações temporais dos fatores relacionados à autofagia no músculo esquelético de ratos após exercício exaustivo e trauma contuso. Métodos: Quarenta e dois ratos machos SD foram divididos em 7 grupos com 6 ratos em cada grupo: Grupo de controle silencioso (C), imediatamente após o exercício exaustivo (E0), 24 horas após o exercício exaustivo (E24), 48 horas após o exercício exaustivo (E48), imediatamente após o trauma contuso (D0), 24 horas após o trauma contuso (D24), 48 horas após o trauma contuso (D48). Todos os grupos de ratos foram mortos e rotulados, respectivamente, em diferentes momentos especificados acima, e o músculo gastrocnêmio direito foi retirado, dividido em duas partes, uma para mRNAs de Lamp-2, BNIP3 e NIX por PCR quantitativo fluorescente em tempo real, e a outra para a proteína p62 por imunotransferência. Resultados: (1) Em comparação com o grupo C, os níveis de mRNA de p62, Lamp-2 e NIX no grupo E48 aumentaram significativamente após o exercício exaustivo (P<0,05), sugerindo que a autofagia aumentou em 48 horas após o exercício exaustivo. (2) Em comparação com o grupo C, os níveis de mRNA de p62mRNA e Lamp-2 foram significativamente aumentados imediatamente após o trauma contuso (P<0,05) e diminuíram significativamente em 48 horas após o trauma contuso (P<0,05), sugerindo que a atividade de autofagia foi aumentada imediatamente após o trauma contuso e diminuiu em 48 horas após a lesão. Conclusão: Houve, via de regra, diferenças em cada fase de recuperação entre os modelos de trauma contuso e de exercício exaustivo, sendo que os fatores de autofagia basal e os fatores de autofagia mitocondrial também foram inconsistentes. Os fatores de autofagia basal p62 e Lamp-2 aumentaram significativamente 48 horas após o exercício excêntrico exaustivo e imediatamente após o trauma contuso. O fator de autofagia mitocondrial BNIP3 não aumentou após o exercício exaustivo e o trauma contuso, mas o NIX aumentou somente após o exercício exaustivo. Seu mecanismo molecular precisa ser investigado com mais detalhes. Nível de Evidência III; Estudos Terapêuticos que Investigam os Resultados do Tratamento.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Physical exercise can be an alternative for preventing and treating the harmful effects of obesity, mainly inflammatory effects on skeletal muscle and liver tissues. However, no consensus exists regarding this purpose's best physical training model. Objective: Evaluate morphological, metabolic, and inflammatory alterations in rats’ skeletal and hepatic muscle tissues caused by aerobic and resistance training. Methods: 24 Wistar rats were divided into sedentary (S), aerobic (AE), and resistance training (R) groups. Blood glucose, total cholesterol, and serum triglycerides were measured periodically. After euthanasia, body mass was measured to calculate the total mass gain during the experiment. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) was measured. Adipose tissue was extracted to calculate its percentage relative to body mass and the liver, soleus, and gastrocnemius muscles for morphological analyses and concentrations of glycogen, lipids, and Tumor Necrosis Factor α (TNF-α). The Kruskall-Wallis test and Dunn's post-test were performed for statistical analysis, adopting p<0.05. Results: Both training models reduced the percentage of adipose tissue, body mass gain, and hepatic TNF-α concentration (p<0.05). AE increased serum HDL, gastrocnemius fiber diameter and reduced the fractal dimension in the soleus (p<0.05). R reduced blood glucose and serum and liver lipids, increased liver and soleus glycogen concentrations, increased gastrocnemius fiber diameter, and decreased TNF-α (p<0.05). Conclusion: Both training models reduced body mass, relative visceral adipose tissue, serum total cholesterol concentration, and liver inflammation. However, resistance training was more effective in promoting metabolic effects in the liver and skeletal muscle and reducing muscle inflammation in rats. Level of Evidence V; Expert Opinion.

The indicators minimum diet diversity, minimum meal frequency and minimally acceptable diet were constructed and adapted to the current recommendations of the food guide for Brazilian children under two years of age. Poisson regression analysis was used, with hierarchical entry of variables in the multivariate model. Results: the prevalence of minimum diet diversity was 38.8%, minimum meal frequency 47.9% and minimally acceptable diet 18.5%. Family income greater than one minimum wage was associated with minimal diet diversity (PR= 1.49; CI95%= 1.39-2.26); receiving guidance on complementary feeding was associated with a minimum meal frequency (PR= 1.37; CI95%= 1.05-1.78); and children who received exclusive breastfeeding for up to 6 months had significantly higher prevalences of all indicators compared to those who did not. Conclusions: low prevalence of complementary feeding indicators was observed. The variables family income, receiving guidance on complementary feeding and offering exclusive breastfeeding for six months were associated with the highest prevalence of the studied indicators.

Resumo: A intenção deste ensaio é a de problematizar a inscrição do discurso psicanalítico, com Freud, no campo do mundo do pós-colonialismo, pela sustentação da categoria de identificação e a crítica correlata da categoria de identidade, assim como pela ênfase na reversibilidade dialética da oposição entre os registros da civilização e da barbárie.
O LUGAR DO SONHO E DA TEMPORALIDADE PARA POVOS INDÍGENAS: UMA QUESTÃO PRELIMINAR AO TRATAMENTO DECOLONIAL DO INCONSCIENTE
Authors: Mollica Mariana , Galdino Ana Paula
Published: December 2023

RESUMO: Levantamos neste trabalho uma questão preliminar à perspectiva ética de uma possível clínica psicanalítica com povos indígenas. Esta questão é tratada em dois planos; através de um reposicionamento dos psicanalistas frente à dimensão hegemônica da branquitude colonial e, por outro, circunscrita a partir das noções da temporalidade em psicanálise; seja por meio da atemporalidade do inconsciente freudiano, seja pelo manejo inédito do tempo lógico introduzido por Lacan. Avançamos perguntando sobre o estatuto do inconsciente experienciado pelo compartilhamento coletivo dos sonhos por diferentes etnias indígenas e, em paralelo, por meio da leitura do extermínio e apagamento da língua, da cultura e dos sujeitos indígenas, autênticos donos dessas terras, em uma interpretação da história colonial do país através da repetição presente no famoso slogan: “Brasil; o país do futuro”. O que a assertiva de Ailton Krenak - “o futuro é ancestral” - nos ensina em relação à ideia de retomada como possibilidade de um futuro para o Brasil?
DE ANTAGONISMOS, DESLOCAMENTOS E GRILHÕES
Authors: Costa-Moura Fernanda
Published: December 2023

RESUMO: Partindo das violações praticadas contra as instituições da República brasileira nos eventos do dia 8 de janeiro de 2023, em Brasília, procura-se demonstrar a importância de recolher o que ali emergiu, como expressão de dificuldades intrínsecas (e não apenas conjunturais) da nossa história e formação social. Examinando a relação dos componentes de ódio e agressividade extremos que permearam os ataques, com as linhas de força de nossa origem colonial, destaca-se o problema da divisão de classes, raças, gêneros, linguagens e culturas em que sempre nos mantivemos. Um antagonismo material e simbólico feroz, que é fonte permanente de segregação e violência e nos impede de formarmos uma coletividade que inclua, de fato, a diversidade da população brasileira. Com a introdução de elementos da crítica decolonial retomados a partir da psicanálise e o chamamento ético que a acompanha, afirma-se a necessidade de estabelecermos um novo paradigma que nos permita ressituar as tensões do Brasil atual, e que abra a chance de um comprometimento real de cada um com o laço social, o meio e os outros.
REVOLUÇÕES NARRATIVAS: CONSIDERAÇÃO DE ATUALIDADE NO SUJEITO E NA PSICANÁLISE
Authors: Poli Maria Cristina
Published: December 2023

RESUMO: Este artigo aborda as modificações narrativas que têm operado no âmbito da moral sexual civilizada e suas intersseccionalidades, de raça e história colonial, bem como seus impactos na produção de subjetividades. Denominamos “narrativas” os modos como se presentificam no laço social - geralmente de forma inconsciente - certas leituras e interpretações sobre as relações do sujeito com o corpo próprio e com o Outro. Concebendo a psicanálise como uma prática, uma teoria e um método investigativo, trata-se de investigar o lugar e função de tais narrativas, sua estrutura ficcional e seus efeitos reais na relação do sujeito consigo mesmo e com seu mundo social.

ABSTRACT Objective: to understand the experience of patients undergoing liver transplantation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: exploratory and qualitative research, developed in a reference hospital in liver transplantation, in the city of Florianópolis, Brazil. Participants were liver transplant patients between the years 2011 and 2021. Data collection conducted through a semi-structured script and data analysis performed according to content analysis. Results: from the participation of 23 patients, two categories of analysis emerged: “Perceptions about social isolation”, with results related to coping and feelings related to social isolation; and “Actions and information: patients, support network and health services”, revealing the meanings of strategies and changes developed in life activities of daily living as well as challenges faced with information and health services during the pandemic period. Conclusion: the study was able to understand liver transplant patients’ experience in the face of the challenges they face during the pandemic. It allowed to visualize coping strategies, feelings and meanings based on recipients’ perspective. As a contribution, it presents possibilities for achieving improvements in services and attention to weaknesses in health services, providing opportunities for reflections to improve this care and considering the specificities and complexities of the postoperative period of liver transplantation.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: this study aimed to identify among Cape Verdean professionals working in Primary Health Care services the barriers impeding care from being provided to people with mental disorders in this context. Method: data in this qualitative study was collected between February and March 2020 using semi-structured interviews with 43 workers from five Health Centers in the urban areas of Cape Verde/Africa. The interviews were treated with content analysis. Results: the barriers included: the professionals’ perception regarding people with mental disorders concerning a feeling of being threatened by these patients, such as a fear of having their physical integrity at risk; lack of coordination between the team and the services; lack of knowledge of protocols; and distancing from care in the mental health field. Conclusion: the barriers identified here show a need to qualify PHC professionals. In this sense, matrix support is an alternative for continuing education to leveraging existing resources.

Authors: Vaz Isabela Freitas , Paiva Natália Santana , Viana Paulo Victor de Sousa
Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To describe the space-time evolution of TB incidence rates (TI) in indigenous and non-indigenous people, according to the Federative Units (UF) of Brazil, from 2011 to 2022. Methods: Ecological, temporal, and spatial study on new tuberculosis cases in Brazil among indigenous and non-indigenous populations. Data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (Sinan) were collected from 2011 to 2022 and stratified by Federal Unit, explored and statistically analyzed using R software version 4.2.3. Results: The mean TI among indigenous populations in Brazil was 71.7 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants, while for non-indigenous populations it was 28.6/100,000 inhabitants. The regions of the country that presented the highest (mean) incidence among indigenous populations were: Central-West (102.8/100,000 inhabitants), Southeast (99.6/100,000 inhabitants), and North (79.9/100,000 inhabitants). For non-indigenous populations the highest incidence was in the North region (36.5/100,000 inhabitants), followed by the Southeast (31.3/100,000), and the Northeast (27,4/100,000 inhabitants). The analysis showed that the highest incidence of TB cases among indigenous populations occurred in the states of: SP, RO, RJ, MS, MT e PA. Conclusion: High incidence of the disease compared to the non-indigenous population show the need for a specific approach to address the health needs of these populations. Regional disparities in incidence indicate the need to address socioeconomic and infrastructure issues that affect the health of indigenous populations.
Detection of sexually transmitted infections among transvestites and transsexual women in prison in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Published: December 2023

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the seropositivity rate of rapid tests for HIV, syphilis and hepatitis B and C among transvestites and transgender women (transfeminine persons) inmates in the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro, analyzing the results based on sociodemographic, prison profile and access to health technologies to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Methods: Cross-sectional census-type study carried out with transfeminine in eleven male prisons in Rio de Janeiro, between the months of April and June 2021. Results: The detection rates found were 34.4% for HIV, and 48.9% for syphilis, and 0.8% for type B and C hepatitis. Seropositivity for more than one infection was verified in 25.4% of participants, and HIV/syphilis was the most prevalent. An increase in the level of education (p=0.037) and having a steady partner in prison (p=0.041) were considered protective factors for STIs in this population. Difficulties were identified in accessing STI prevention technologies, such as male condoms, lubricating gel, rapid tests, and prophylactic antiretroviral therapies for HIV. Conclusion: HIV and syphilis seropositivity rates were high, but within the profile found in this population in other studies inside or outside prisons. The data found indicates the need to incorporate effective strategies for access to health technologies for the prevention of STIs. The scarcity of scientific publications containing epidemiological data on STIs in the transfeminine prison population limited deeper comparisons of the results obtained in this study.
A taxonomic review of the Neotropical electric fish Rhamphichthys (Gymnotiformes: Rhamphichthyidae)
Authors: Carvalho Tiago P. , Albert James S.
Published: December 2023

Abstract The species diversity and taxonomy of Rhamphichthys is reviewed and seven species are considered valid: Rhamphichthys apurensis from the Orinoco and Cuyuni river basins; R. drepanium from the Amazon and Orinoco river basins; R. hahni from the Paraná-Paraguay River system; R. heleios and R. lineatus from the Amazon River basin; R. pantherinus from theupper Orinoco, Essequibo, Amazon and coastal rivers of North Brazil,and R. rostratus from the upper Orinoco, Amazon and coastal rivers of Guianas. Based on the examination of specimens from nominal species, from across their geographic ranges, including specimen types, the previous synonymization of four species (R. blochii, R. reinhardti, R. schomburgki, and R. schneideri)with R. rostratus,and R. marmoratus with R. pantherinus is confirmed. Two other nominal species, R. atlanticus and R. longior, are proposed as junior synonyms of R. pantherinus.Species are redescribed and diagnosed based on color pattern, morphometric, meristic, and internal anatomy characters.Distribution maps and an identification key based on the examination of a comprehensive list of materials are also provided.
