El diálogo en la relación médica odontólogo-paciente desde la mirada de Gadamer: caso mucositis oral
Authors: Sosa Gómez Alejandra , Benítez Pérez Alma Alicia
Published: October 2021

Objetivo: Indagar sobre el diálogo en la relación médica odontólogo-paciente, particularmente en las mujeres con tratamiento de quimioterapia por cáncer de mama: caso mucositis oral en una institución especializada. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio prospectivo, descriptivo y transversal, para lo cual se diseñó un cuestionario basado en la cédula PRO-CTCAE™ (siglas en inglés) atendiendo principalmente al cuidado bucal, así como a la asistencia y la atención por el odontólogo, lo que contribuyó a conocer la relación médica odontólogo-paciente con base en el diálogo para favorecer la calidad de vida de las pacientes. Se contó con 50 participantes cuyas edades oscilaron entre los 31 y 75 años. Resultados: Los resultados más significativos revelan que 68 % no asiste a consulta odontológica antes de iniciar la quimioterapia y 34 % presentan úlceras en la mucositis oral, lo que limita funciones básicas como comer, beber y comunicarse. Conclusiones: Los hallazgos muestran la necesidad de impulsar el acompañamiento de un equipo multidisciplinario durante la quimioterapia, donde la participación del odontólogo debe ser esencial para la atención bucodental. Lo anterior desde la hermenéutica filosófica propuesta por Gadamer, cuyo acercamiento permite fortalecer, desde una visión holística, la calidad de vida bucal del paciente por efectos secundarios (mucositis oral) de la quimioterapia.

Como parte de los resultados se encontró que el empleo del flipped classroom promueve tres dimensiones: 1) tecnológica: los estudiantes reconocieron una diversidad de recursos tales como el calendario, foros, chats, correo electrónico, autoevaluaciones y consulta de materiales para promover el aprendizaje; 2) comunicativa: los alumnos manifestaron estar de acuerdo con la elaboración de historieta e infografías, analogías, adivinanzas e investigación documental, actividades que favorecieron una participación activa, y 3) prácticas de uso: los alumnos manifestaron que se promovió la comprensión de la estructura del texto literario, así como evaluar y crear una historieta con la estructura literaria.
AVALIAÇÃO EM LARGA ESCALA: A INFLUÊNCIA DOS ORGANISMOS MULTILATERAIS E AS POSSIBILIDADES DE AUTONOMIA DOCENTE
Authors: Oliveira Medeiros Estéfani Barbosa de , Sudbrack Edite Maria
Published: October 2021

Este trabalho objetiva discorrer sobre as influências dos organismos multilaterais e as possibilidades de autonomia docente, face a avaliação em larga escala. Foi realizada a pesquisa bibliográfica no Catálogo de Teses e Dissertações da CAPES e a partir dos trabalhos selecionados, elencou-se duas categorias analisadas através da Análise de Conteúdo de Bardin (2004): as influências dos organismos multilaterais nas políticas públicas educacionais e as possibilidades de autonomia docente diante da avaliação. Os estudos sugerem preocupação com as influências dos organismos, uma vez que as escolas passam a se organizar na lógica gerencial, com os princípios da eficiência e eficácia, respondendo aos interesses mercadológicos. Sobre a autonomia docente, entende-se que ela é utópica, pois os/as docentes não participam das tomadas de decisões e ficam com a incumbência de colocar em prática, as decisões tomadas a nível macrossocial. A abordagem filosófica adotada no estudo é o da Pedagogia Histórico-crítica de Dermeval Saviani.
Large Mucocele in the Labial and Buccal Mucosa
Authors: Beridze Beka , Cherniak Olha
Published: October 2021

A26-year-old woman presented to the maxillofacial surgery clinic with painless oval shape lesion (Panel A, arrow) arisen from the lower lip and extended to the buccal mucosa. According to the patient, the mass arose after repeated trauma (biting) of the mucosa (Panel B, arrowhead) approximately 3 months ago. Once the patient noted that when she bit the mass, it`s emptied, but then began to grow again. Upon intraoral examination the lesion measured 1 × 1.8 cm in size. Palpation showed its soft and spongy texture. No bluish pattern of the surface was noted. B-mode (Panel C) and power Doppler (Panel D) ultrasound demonstrated cystic, avascular lesion measuring 1.71 × 0.92 cm with echogenic content (asterisk), no signs of echogenic debris, and distinct margins. Acoustic shadowing behind the hyperechogenic vestibular surface of the lower teeth is labeled by circles. The depth of the cropped sonograms is 1.56 cm. Mucocele of the oral cavity (synonyms: oral mucocele, mucous cyst, retention cyst, retention cyst of the minor salivary gland, mucous retention cyst) is a cystic lesion of the minor salivary gland due to its duct alternation/inflammation and subsequent accumulation of saliva. Differential diagnostics of mucocele is usually performed with other similar oral masses: lipomas, lymphangiomas, and hemangiomas. Removal of mucocele includes the excision of mucous cyst associated overlying mucosa, own glandular tissue and other minor salivary glands which are visualized in the wound. Histopathologically, two types of oral mucocele are distinguished: retention and the more often, extravasation variant. Summarizing, despite the majority of mucocele cases presented with mucosa surface color ranged from deep blue to light blue, our case clearly shows a mucocele with a pink color of mucosa above. Recurrence is a complication usually associated with a violation of the operation technique.

Dificuldades na reabilitação protética de paciente pediátrico com Displasia do Ectoderma – relato de caso
Authors: Mirabelli Karina , de Omena Ana Luiza Costa Silva , Bassi Julio Cesar , Floriano Isabela , Tedesco Tamara Kerber , Imparato José Carlos Pettorossi
Published: October 2021

Ectoderma dysplasia is a syndrome characterized by malformation in the tissues derived from the embryonic leaflet ectoderm, causing changes in the epidermis and its accessory structures, such as hair, hair, nails, teeth and glands. The dental surgeon, in most cases, is the first to suspect this syndrome due to dental absences, which can vary from simple agenesis or even anodontics. Therefore, the alveolar bone does not develop very well and the ridge has an unfavorable morphology for a good rehabilitation. The present work aims, through a clinical case, to describe the difficulty of prosthetic rehabilitation in a patient with Ectoderma Dysplasia in preschool age (3 years), due to the absence of teeth. The treatment defined for this patient was the protocol proposed in the most current bibliographic references, which consists of rehabilitation as early as possible, through the manufacture of upper and lower removable prostheses, in order to enable better nutrition, phonetics, facial expressions and social interaction. After the finalized treatment, we conclude that the early prosthetic rehabilitation, although recommended in the literature, must first be evaluated individually, as it depends on the minimal cooperation of the patient and total family commitment for the success of the treatment.

Published: October 2021

With the rapid popularity and increasing numbers of E-cigarette (EC) users, debates on possible health risks and regulation of EC products have attracted attention in public. As a useful means to help assessing the risks of EC consumers, puffing topography studies have come to be an important tool globally. In this paper, a cross-sectional epidemiological study on puffing topography of 511 EC consumers in four cities of China was conducted in January 2018. Data acquisition was based on a questionnaire and a Clinical Research Support System (CReSS) Pocket device for the smoking behavior recording. The results showed that EC consumers in the four cities were mainly young males, most of whom preferred tank systems with zero or low nicotine concentrations (1–5 mg/mL) in the liquid. The average puff volume, puff duration and inter-puff interval (IPI) were 87.2 mL, 1.97 s and 22.0 s, respectively. The factors that may have affected puffing topography such as product type, nicotine concentration, using time, smoking status and battery power were studied. The results suggest that the EC product type and the concentration of nicotine in EC liquids were the main factors that affected the puffing topography of the users. This study was the first study on the puff topography of Chinese EC consumers with a large number of participants. The results may not only help to more deeply understand smoking behavior and to better assess the potential risks for the EC users, but they may also supply useful information for the development of smoking machine regimes for ECs.

Published: October 2021

This study aims to identify middle-class consumers’ habits in four countries during the pandemic of 2020, with special attention to analogous consumers’ reactions to extraordinary circumstances during the recession of 2008. Furthermore, this study tried to detect the impact of the pandemic on conscious shopping. Although the consequences of the ongoing pandemic were unforeseeable, the paper opened new avenues for further research on factors responsible for conscious consumption during the unprecedented externality and its significance on the middle-class consumers in culturally diverse markets. To achieve the aforementioned goals, between June and December 2020, computer-assisted web interviews (CAWI) based on pilot stage research were conducted to answer the following questions: How did the pandemic influence the buyers’ shopping habits in terms of conscious consumption? What were the reasons for the changes in shopping habits? What kind of consumer behaviors would middle-class buyers recommend to others? One general conclusion, inter alia, should be stressed remarkably: during the pandemic, irrespective of the cultural differences, the middle-class consumers’ behaviors did not vary significantly with regards to most of the investigated variables.

Hybrid composites utilize more than one kind of strands within the same matrix to urge the synergistic impact of both fibers' properties on composites' general properties. Hybridization can be performed from artificial, natural, and a combination of both fibers. The constituent filaments can be altered in numerous ways, driving to the variety in composite properties. Partial substitution of glass fiber with natural ones offers an advantage compared with glass fiber composites while permitting to obtain a mechanical performance higher than using pure natural fiber composites. Recently, researchers are tending towards the development of hybrid composites which will provide good static properties. In this context, a concise review has been done on the recent developments of natural/glass fiber-reinforced composites made by hand lay-up method. It includes a survey of the past research already available involving the hybrid composites and the effect of various parameters on composites' performance studied by various researchers.
A experiência da “Grande Guerra” nas páginas de Selecta (1914-1919)
Authors: Fagundes Luciana Pessanha
Published: October 2021

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar a revista Selecta, publicada semanalmente a partir de junho de 1915, na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, entre os anos de 1914 e 1919. A revista tinha como objetivo complementar a leitura de outro semanário famoso e popular do período: a revista Fon-Fon! Citada em inúmeros estudos, porém nunca alvo de um estudo específico, a revista Selecta apresenta algumas singularidades que percebemos ao analisá-la tendo como foco sua abordagem sobre uma temática deveras importante: a “Grande Guerra” (1914-1918). Assim, tencionamos relacionar a série de mudanças no âmbito do formato e do conteúdo da revista ao longo de seus primeiros quatro anos de existência, com o papel central que a imprensa brasileira adquiriu nesse momento, encarregada de noticiar e representar a experiência da guerra no Brasil.
Digital participation of left-wing activists in Brazil: cultural events as a cement to mobilization and networked protest
Authors: Figeac Julien , Paton Nathalie , Peralva Angelina , Coelho Bezerra Arthur , Cabanac Guillaume , Prévost Héloïse , Ratinaud Pierre , Salord Tristan
Published: October 2021

This research explores how Brazilian activist groups participate in Facebook to coordinate their social struggles, based on a lexical analysis of publications on 529 pages, published between 2013 and 2017. These groups set up two main repertoires of action by mobilizing Facebook as an arena for challenging political action and a tool for coordinating their mobilizations.

This research shows more specifically that artistic expression and the agenda of cultural events are central to these digital action repositories. Publications and conversations related to culture punctuate the ordinary exchange of information between activists, especially during the lulls of social struggles. They structure activist networks on a medium-term basis and contribute to the coordination of social movements by creating the conditions for occasional gatherings, transversal to different types of activism and to various social struggles.
Rise and Fall of the Anti-Racism Agenda in Brazil from Lula to Bolsonaro
Authors: Mesquita Gustavo
Published: October 2021

Over the past two decades, the Brazilian state addressed the racial issue by developing a number of anti-racist laws, policies, and institutions. The rise of the anti-racism agenda began with Fernando Henrique Cardoso’s government, growing even greater under Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff. Nonetheless, further developments on this agenda have been halted since Michel Temer came to power in 2016, and the agenda as a whole is now undergoing a dismantling mode. This essay discusses how the dismantling of the anti-racism agenda has reverberated into the current institutional, political, and social crisis in Brazil. In consideration of this problem, I map out color-related characteristics of the Brazilian crisis through qualitative and quantitative data ranging from Lula to Bolsonaro years. I use past and present data to compare two processes: the previous shaping and the current dismantling of anti-racist public policies.
Anti-gender politics and the authoritarian turn in Brazil
Authors: Gomes da Costa Santos Gustavo

In 2018, Jair Bolsonaro, a former captain and congressman known for his racist, sexist, and homophobic remarks, was elected president of Brazil. His election shocked political analysts, representing the major setback in the Brazilian democracy since the end of the military rule in the 1980’s.  The present work analyses the social actors and the political processes behind the rise of Bolsonaro to power. It focuses on the role of anti-gender politics in the recent authoritarian turn. Borrowing some insights from the Protest Event Analysis methodology, the work explores the dynamics of the anti-gender protest events, their main social and political actors, repertoires of actions and demands. It also review the recent debate on the crisis of democracy and the rise of extreme right-wing movements and parties, focusing on the centrality of opposition to gender equity and LGBTQI+ rights in the rhetoric and action of conservative and far-right groups.
Uma década de cartas dos povos indígenas ao Brasil: correspondências de 2011-2020
Authors: Lima Costa Suzane
Published: October 2021

As cartas que os indígenas escreveram para o Brasil nos últimos dez anos são uma tradução política e cultural da nossa história presente. Uma tradução que apresenta quem são os indígenas que escrevem cartas, ao mesmo tempo em que pergunta quem é o Brasil destinatário de suas correspondências, colocando em evidência situações próprias da ética desses escritos: 1. A cultura do enfrentamento, da repetição e da coragem; 2. O endereçamento para alguém que não está lá e o gesto do envio como uma política; 3. A carta como gesto utópico e os sentidos do bem viver no Brasil. O modo como essas cartas são escritas e postadas em diferentes redes socais na Internet ou divulgadas em páginas de organizações não-governamentais diz de um novo experimento cultural, político e literário, oferecido à sociedade brasileira pelos indígenas como uma ética para a vida que querem e precisam ter como povos originários. Neste artigo, pretendo tratar dessas situações retomando trechos de cartas escritas pelos indígenas entre os anos de 2011-2020 e enviadas para o Brasil, sob o nome de presidentes, governadores e outras autoridades políticas.
Repensando uma década de crises na era digital
Authors: Guerellus Natália
Published: October 2021

A pandemia da Covid-19 no Brasil transformou-se em um ponto nevrálgico de diversas crises nos campos político, econômico, social e cultural cujo início remonta às ‘Jornadas de Junho’ de 2013. No contexto da pandemia, iniciativas populares em ambiente virtual procuraram refletir sobre o passado recente do país, de modo a compreender a complexidade destas imbricações. Este artigo parte de um destes projetos digitais, chamado ‘História em Quarentena’, iniciado em março de 2020 e com duração total de 20 semanas. Após uma enquete junto ao público do programa, duas temáticas foram escolhidas como sendo de grande importância para a sociedade brasileira atual: a memória sobre a ditadura militar e a atuação dos feminismos e dos estudos de gênero nos campos intelectual e social. Ambas temáticas, portanto, serão destacadas no presente artigo.
Batman, Moro e o gozo em meio ao entulho
Authors: Meira Monteiro Pedro
Published: October 2021

No Diário da catástrofe brasileira, Ricardo Lísias analisa o gosto de Sergio Moro por Batman, traçando um paralelo entre os procedimentos da operação Lava-jato e o veloz jogo de perspectivas dos quadrinhos. Para além da fantasia sobre um herói que coloca a justiça acima da lei, trata-se de compreender como Lísias elabora a noção de “neofascismo” ao trazer para o centro do debate as questões da percepção e do foco. A relação entre estética e política ilumina a guinada à direita

Authors: Sharkov S. M. , Ikhsanova S. R.
Published: October 2021

According to international data, the incidence of infections in the field of surgery in children and adults varies from 2.0 to 20.0 %. The occurrence of the above infections is influenced by many factors: the presence of comorbidities, ASA index, surgical wound class, NNIS risk index. Important factors include the quality of the suture. According to experts of the World Health Organization, 40.0–60.0 % of infections in the field of surgery can be prevented. The first microbiological study of suture (polyglactin 910) with triclosan was published in 2002. According to international studies, the use of a triclosan reduces the adhesion of bacteria to the suture, the viability of microbes and the release of inflammatory mediators. Triclosan actively prevents the colonization of the filament, in addition, concentrations sufficient to suppress the growth and reproduction of pathogens are maintained in the environment for a long time, resulting in the prevention of the development of infectious complications.

Published: October 2021

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to compare visuospatial and psychomotor skills of second year pre-clinical dental students with final year dental students using an exercise in dentinal pin placement. METHODOLOGY:A total of 120 BDS undergraduate students who had completed second or final year Operative dentistry rotation were included. While students from second and final year who had not consented to participate or had missed the practical demonstration or whose dentinal pins were misplaced after becoming loose from the tooth were excluded. Participating students placed the dentinal pins, following which Adobe Photoshop (version CC 2014) was used to analyze the photographs of the taken radiographs in two dimensions. Parameters assessed were pulpal perforations, periodontal perforations and pin angulation. Independent sample t-test was used to compare continuous variables while chi-square test was used for testing association for categorical variables. RESULTS: Final year students fared better in all categories of pin placement except periodontal perforation which was the same for both years. Statistically significant difference in the angulation for pin placement were observed between the two student groups in mesiodistal direction (p value =0.001) and in buccolingual direction (p value <.001). CONCLUSION: There is a significant difference in the psychomotor and visuospatial skill of second year pre-clinical when compared with the final year clinical undergraduate students.

Published: October 2021

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess burnout and sense of coherence levels in dentistry students of Karachi. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional study involving 361 students from four renowned dental colleges in Karachi was carried out. The students were distributed a questionnaire derived from the Mayo Clinic Well-being Index (WBI) and a modified 13-item Antonovsky's Sense of Coherence Scale (SOC scale). They were stratified on the basis of gender, age, professional year, institution, relationship status, history of chronic medical condition and history of chronic psychiatric condition. Scores for the WBI and SOC scale were calculated. For the WBI, a score of >4 was a sign that an individual was at risk of developing burnout or other severe outcomes. A high or low total score on the SOC scale demonstrated whether the individual was able to cope with his environment or not. MS Excel and SPSS version 23 were used for data compilation and statistical analysis. Descriptive statistics were calculated. Chi-square test of independence was applied to gauge any association between the strata and outcome variables. After determination of statistical difference, Mann Whitney-U Test and Kruskal Wallis Test were applied to compare the means where a significant association was found. A p-value of 0.05 or less was considered significant. RESULTS: The mean WBI score was found to be 4.07. Around 64% respondents were at-risk of burnout (score > 4). A greater percentage of females was at risk (66%) as compared to males (50%). Third professional students were found to be the most affected (77% with WBI score > 4 and 9% in the low coherence category). The mean SOC score was found to be 36.39 (moderate levels of coherence). Overall, around 4-9% of each professional year students exhibited a low sense of coherence. Age, relationship status, institution and a history of chronic medical and/or psychiatric condition were not found to have a significant association with the outcome variables (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: A significant number of dentistry students are at risk of burn-out and suffer from a low sense of coherence. The risk factors need to be evaluated and solutions need to be found to create a healthy and conducive environment for the growth and learning of the students. More research needs to be focused on gathering data related to the well-being of dentistry students. KEYWORDS: Burnout, sense of coherence, well-being index, dentistry.
