Published: September 2019

Education is a pre-requisite for the development of a country. The teacher is the backbone of the education system and is the architect of society. The progress of an organization depends upon the quality of its teachers. Today’s child is tomorrow’s citizen of the country. Teacher educators of the B.Ed. Colleges are the makers of the future teachers who are bound to have a vital influence on the children learning, shaping their attitude, and developing desirable behavior. To prepare efficient teachers in the 21st century, teacher educators need to be constantly topnotch in their profession. It can be possible, only if they can sustain their continuing professional development (CPD). It involves on-going divergent activities (formal, non-formal and informal) that aim at developing the teacher educator’s intellectual abilities (cognitive domain), self confidence, attitude, values, and interest (affective domain) and skills and competencies (psychomotor domain) for improving personality and to carry out the responsibilities of the teaching profession properly in accordance with the changing times and needs of the prospective teachers and society.” The present paper comes out with diverse programs and activities for teacher educators to sustain their CPD in the advent of complexities continually arising in the field of teacher education in the 21st century.

The Cause of the Dalits: An Analysis of Kalyan Rao’s Untouchable Spring
Authors: Varadarajulu G
Published: September 2019

During a time of advancement in science, innovation, and culture, no noteworthy change has been found in the lives of Dalits (untouchables) in India. Social, monetary, and cultural existence of Dalits has not changed since the pre-historic. Dalit literary movement and development, which had begun in the early part of the twentieth century, has been a branch of the abuse of Dalits by the upper caste positions. Through literary works, they have been attempting to protect their sense of pride, identity, personality, and heritage/ legacy of their locale. Untouchable Spring by Kalyan Rao is a novel that also can be called as a verifiable archive that represents the situation of Dalits in a post-independence time. The novelist G. KalyanRao, a Dalit, who trusts and believes in the progressive philosophy and revolutionary ideology, depicts the lives of Dalit Christians and their mortification in the hands of caste Hindus. It likewise features how they “find their mankind through resistance.” The paper goes for giving historiography of the denied more than several generations and ages for the rise of powerful voice in subaltern writing.
Decolonising English Teaching in India: Remarks on English as All-Indian Elite Language (EAEL)
Authors: Dileep E
Published: September 2019

This paper is a humble attempt to share some nagging thoughts in the mind of an English teacher. In consonance with the desire for sharing, the paper often resorts to a personal and intimate style. It argues for an interdisciplinary approach and indispensable interfacing between teaching language and literature. The paper proposes that decolonizing English teaching takes different forms in different social contexts. It contends that, in India, English language teaching should be oriented towards reaching the grassroots learners to fulfill the project of decolonizing at present. In literature, it is argued, that native literature should be given prominence, and the texts in English translations can be used to counteract colonial alienation. Offering a critique of double linguistic hegemony of English and Sanskrit, the paper argues that the teachers of English have a responsibility in rehabilitating native or regional literature. It is suggested that a paradigm shift in the importance given to translations is needed in carrying out the decolonizing project.
Girish Karnad's Hayavadana - A Setting for Sacred and Profane
Authors: Kalidasan R , Jaishree Karthiga R K
Published: September 2019

Hayavadana, a multiplex play, offers various binary themes for discussion. By combining the indigenous Yakshagana and the western Brechtian Epic theatre practices, Girish Karnad has created a unique theatre display, presenting it as a social and religious satire that point to the persistent pursuit of the humanity to achieve perfection. The plot and the sub-plot of the play get interlocked by raising questions on identity and the nature of reality. The dramatist intentionally effects a dynamic communication between the audience and the performance, noting that the audience too are not separate from such an existential predicament. This Verfremdungseffekt or the “alienation effect”, is achieved through a number of devices. One such device, apart from the folk-theatre motifs, is the philosophical survey of the concepts, ‘Sacred’ and the ‘Profane’. This paper ventures to show how these concepts add further investigation of the play.
The Cultural Silencing of LGBT Voices in India with Reference to Do the Needful: A Radio Play
Authors: Abinaya Sudha M , Ashitha Varghese M
Published: September 2019

Culture deliberates the arts and philosophy, which are considered to be important for the development of civilization and mentality of the people. In a multicultural and multilingual country like India marginalisation of certain communities, including homosexual, is a significant problem that threads the fabric of our society. In modern society, gender and sexuality-based discrimination are witnessed all over the world. The term homosexuality has never gained social acceptance and has been treated down the ages as taboo subjects. Although sexual desires are a matter of instinctive behaviour, yet are controlled by social norms and morals. Therefore, heterosexuality is the only acceptable mode of relationship and is considered as a centre to our culture. The homosexual relationships are still stigmatized as unnatural and unacceptable in Indian social context and therefore often hidden under the shroud of privacy. Mahesh Dattani, an Indian writer, has chosen such taboo subjects and treated them with great confidence and sublimity to bring them from the boundary to the main stream. This paper focuses on the pathetic conditions of those who struggle between instinct and social culture concerning queer theory in the play DO THE NEEDFUL: A RADIO PLAY by Mahesh Dattani.

Exploring the Role of Edutainment through Sitcoms Inside Language Classrooms
Authors: Devagishree M , David Arputha Raj V
Published: September 2019

Language is the primary source of communication through which we share our thoughts and ideas with others whereas on the other hand, it separates us from animals and makes us human beings. The English language is essential to the field of education because it is a primary language of press, in the research field and science. Language being global and to adapt to the present scenario in teaching language may seem quiet complex. Nevertheless, to prop interest and to simplify complications, situational comedies act as a medium to enrich language through not only words but expressions. This paper establishes views on teaching a language through the means of situational comedies, having implemented the cultural theory of schema where the schema is a generalized description or a conceptual system for understanding knowledge how it is represented and how it is used.

Published: September 2019

O presente estudo analisou a atual situação educacional das aldeias que compõem a Terra Indígena Rio Negro Ocaia (TIRNO), localizada no município de Guajará Mirim, Rondônia, Brasil observando as demandas e necessidades para a construção do Plano de Gestão Territorial Ambiental (PGTA) da terra indígena pela Associação de Defesa Etnoambiental Kanindé. O objetivo central deste estudo foi identificar as necessidades apontadas pelos indígenas referente a melhoria do aspecto educacional da terra indígena. O estudo foi desenvolvido com base nas teorias de Faustino (2012) e Ferreira (2017). Utilizamos como metodologia de analise o discurso do sujeito coletivo (DSC) apresentados em Lefèvre (2012) e Lefèvreet al (2009). Arquitetamos a pesquisa através de roda de conversa com as mulheres e com a juventude local. E dispomos de questionários aplicados com os moradores da aldeia Central Rio Negro Ocaia e aldeia Ocaia III. Por meio da pesquisa realizada, observamos que o ensino é bilíngue onde as crianças tem aulas na língua portuguesa e na língua materna (o txapakura), sendo que a primeira língua ensinada é o txapakura, denotando forte preservação cultural por meio do idioma. Também foi identificada a necessidade de material de apoio (livros didáticos, cartilhas, literatura) voltados para a realidade da TIRNO. Fazendo um recorte de gênero identificamos que existe uma frequência muito grande de pessoas sem escolarização, e esta frequência é maior nas mulheres. Estas taxas mais elevadas nas mulheres se deve ao fato de muitas aldeias, no passado, não possuírem escolas. Atualmente aponta-se que certa dificuldade em concluir o ensino formal para os morados da TIRNO, em especial para as mulheres, isto se deve principalmente a oferta do Ensino médio na TIRNO. Conclui-se que este trabalho foi capaz de elencar as principais necessidades da juventude escolar TIRNO, também constatou-se a necessidade a implementação do ensino de jovens e adultos na terra indígena, entre outras demandas sociais relevantes.

O CALENDÁRIO SOCIONATURAL: UMA PROPOSTA PEDAGÓGICA NA ESCOLA DA COMUNIDADE INDÍGENA SOROCAIMA
Authors: Lisboa Liliane Do Vale , Lisbôa Eliana Santana
Published: September 2019

O presente estudo faz parte de um estudo maior no âmbito de uma dissertação de Mestrado em Educação (USAL/ Argentina). O objetivo consistiu em realizar uma análise do uso do calendário socionatural como uma proposta pedagógica para a Escola Estadual Indígena Sarakayna da Comunidade Indígena Sorocaima I. O calendário socionatural é um instrumento no qual se organiza todas as atividades sociais e naturais realizadas em uma comunidade anualmente e a partir dele se extrai uma atividade que dará origem a um conteúdo pedagógico, onde será articulado o conhecimento tradicional e o conhecimento científico, promovendo um educação intercultural. Tal proposta desenvolvida por Jorge Gasché, conhecida como Método Indutivo Intercultural é baseada na Teoria da Atividade com perspectiva Vigotskiana. A metodologia escolhida para a pesquisa foi o estudo de caso utilizando a etnografia colaborativa.Os resultados mostraram que de fato a adoção do MII e do calendário socionatural constitui uma proposta viável para que aconteça de fato a educação intercultural, conferindo aos indígenas a preservação da sua cultura, em perfeita harmonia com os conhecimentos científicos. Ao promover efetivamente a articulação dos conhecimentos o MII está buscando uma educação diferenciada, o seja, diferente daquela que até agora está presente nas comunidades indígenas, imposta de fora para dentro. Contudo, o MII não é a solução mágica para todos os problemas das escolas indígenas, mas pode-se considerar um passo para o objetivo que ser quer chegar, ou seja, uma educação escolar com cara, corpo e alma indígena.

Published: September 2019

O presente estudo buscou analisar como se deu o processo de inserção e escolarização de crianças haitianas em três escolas da capital rondoniense, vindas com seus pais ou responsáveis do país caribenho, após a entrada em massa desses imigrantes no país, a partir do ano de 2010. O objetivo foi identificar, descrever e refletir acerca dos processos de inserção e permanência escolar adotados por escolas públicas do ensino fundamental. O recorte abrangeu três instituições de ensino fundamental, localizadas na área central da cidade, próximas de bairros nos quais esses imigrantes se concentravam. O estudo de abordagem qualitativa foi desenvolvido a partir dos referenciais teóricos-metodológicos encontrados nos conceitos de relativismo-cultural e da observação participante. Os instrumentos de coleta de dados foram as entrevistas abertas, a observação em ambientes escolares e sociais e a participação em organização de aulas de português e de reforço para esses sujeitos. Os dados indicam a necessidade de capacitação para os professores e demais funcionários para um melhor acolhimento desses estudantes, além de políticas públicas mais abrangentes. Nesse sentido, ações concretas do poder público aliadas à capacitação continuada da equipe pedagógica a respeito dos processos migratórios é essencial para que a inserção, o ensino, a aprendizagem e a permanência dessas crianças nas escolas públicas brasileiras tenham êxito.

Published: September 2019

O artigo ora apresentado traz dados e informações sobre o número de imigrantes bolivianos residentes na área urbana do município de Guajará-Mirim, este foi um subprojeto de pesquisa vinculado ao projeto Observatório da Imigração: Cartografias da Imigração na Fronteira do Brasil com a Bolívia. Um projeto de iniciação científica institucionalizado pelo Campus da Universidade Federal de Rondônia em Guajará-Mirim. Optamos por desenvolver uma pesquisa descritiva de natureza qualitativa, assim ao longo do período de oito meses de pesquisa percorremos treze bairros dos quinze bairros situados na zona urbana do município de Guajará-Mirim /RO/BR, município que faz fronteira com a cidade de Guayaramerín/Beni/BOL. Para a coleta das informações utilizamos questionários com perguntas abertas e fechadas; conversas informais e observações. Verificamos a partir do relato de imigrantes bolivianos mais antigos, que nas últimas décadas, o fluxo migratório foi constantee dependendo das políticas econômicas dos países vizinhos, Brasil e Bolívia, o fluxo migratório aumentava ou diminuía. Ocorre que existem registros parciais sobre a população imigrante boliviana residente no município, essas informações podem ser solicitadas no setor de imigração da Polícia Federal, na Pastoral da Imigraçãoe no Consulado da Bolívia, porém nessas duas últimas instituições não um controle efetivo desses dados. Assim sendo, estes registros não totalizam nem representam a realidade numérica desta população na fronteira. Esta realidade nos inquietou e deu base a nossa questão problema: Quantos imigrantes bolivianos vivem na zona urbana de Guajará-Mirim. Nessa trajetória investigativa nosso aporte teórico foi baseado nos estudos de Becker (2009), a autora faz uma análise sobre esta realidade geopolítica das fronteiras internacionais do norte brasileiro, nos estudos de Machado (1998) sobre fronteiras internacionais e nos estudos de Santos (2016) sobre as relações e interações presentes na fronteira de Guajará-Mirim (Rondônia/Brasil) e Guayaramerín (Beni /Bol). Os resultados apontaram para um quantitativo baixo de imigrantes residentes em Guajará-Mirim, bem diferente do que era especulado pela pastoral da migração do município. A maioria dos imigrantes entrevistados têm como local de partida do seu processo migratório cidades do departamento do Beni e não apenas a cidade de Guayaramerín. E também, conseguimos identificar, os aspectos econômicos e culturais dessa população, as dificuldades enfrentadas por eles no processo de regularização do documento para permanência no Brasil, os bairros de maior concentração de residência e as escolas onde as crianças e adolescentes bolivianos estão matriculadas.
CULTURA AMAZÔNIA: DA MIGRAÇÃO NORDESTINA A SALA DE AULA RIBEIRINHA
Authors: Ribeiro Marcela Arantes
Published: September 2019

O texto apresenta uma discussão a respeito da investigação das narrativas míticas do imaginário de uma comunidade ribeirinha que faz parte do contexto educacional dos alunos. Apresenta a forma como essas narrativas são trabalhadas na prática docente, diante da integração intercultural. Com o viés cultural, a sala de aula torna-se objeto de estudo, abordando os valores e as experiências vividas. O principal objetivo foi demonstrar sobre a importância de integrar os alunos à arte de narrar e às experiências cotidianas no ambiente escolar. O texto resulta da releitura da pesquisa de iniciação científica que abordou a Cultura Amazônica na sala de aula, à luz do processo migratório para a Amazônia e pelo viés da discussão de uma educação voltada para a emancipação. A pesquisa foi realizada no campo metodológico da Fenomenologia e da História Oral, sustentadas nas concepções de Merleau-Ponty (1994) e Meihy (2005). Foi possível realizar um estudo que perpassa pelo modo de ver e compreender o processo de conhecimento da cultura local nas escolas ribeirinhas, a partir de atividades desenvolvidas com os alunos, bem como com desenvolvimento das entrevistas e a concepção do outro. Identificou-se uma cultura ribeirinha - amazônica fundamentada na relação dos ribeirinhos com o rio e a mata, uma “cosmovisão” (LOUREIRO, 1995). As discussões dos resultados partiram da identificação da cultura amazônica, a relação desta com a teoria da escola e a prática de aprender em sala de aula. Considerou o processo migratório para a Amazônia marcado pela presença dos nordestinos, onde sua a vivência contribuiu para a criação das representações dos grupos ribeirinhos e a formação da cultura amazônica. Essa cultura ultrapassa os muros da escola, tornando-se parte da Educação. Assim, ao trabalhar no ambiente escolar as diversidades culturais conduzem a compreensão da importância do conhecimento através da cultura de cada indivíduo.

Aims: To evaluate ethical and semiotechnique skills gain with intensive semiotechnique course to graduate medical students.

Methods: Semiotics course was drawn up to 64 students of four medical courses of Belem, Para, Brazil. The course took place in two stages: the first for 32 students starting the third semester of the medical course, and the second for 32 students that started the internship. The course was taught intensively in two weekends, with didactic material prepared by the researchers. Pre-and post-training assessment was performed for verification of ethical skills needed in the doctor-patient relationship and the practical knowledge and skill in the technical implementation of the physical examination.

Results: The students of 2nd year, in the eight proposed stations, have an average gain of 85.84%, reaching individually in some stations an improvement up to 120% as "Precordium” and “painful maneuvers of the abdomen" stations. The students of the 5th year initial notes average was 6.06, evolving to 9.21, with average percentage of 54.42% gain. For matters of ethical principles in dealing with the patient was observed initial average 5.05 that after the course has evolved to 9.36 to students of 2nd year and 6.16 to 9.60 in fifth year. In the evaluation of performance in implementing the semiotechnique maneuvers were observed initial notes of 4.76 and 5.95 to 8.51 and 8.82 respectively for students of 2nd and 5th year.

Conclusion: The intensive course implemented proved to be effective in semiotechnique skills gain, both in improving ethical attitudes in dealing with the patient, as well as on the playing technique of physical examination.
Demographic, Clinical, and Immunologic Correlates among a Cohort of 50 Cocaine Users Demonstrating Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibodies
Authors: Morcos Meredith B. , Lood Christian , Hughes Grant C.
Published: September 2019

Objective.

Cocaine/levamisole-associated autoimmunity syndrome (CLAAS) is a poorly understood form of drug-induced autoimmunity. Our goals were to better characterize the spectrum of clinical and immunologic features of CLAAS, to identify demographic risk factors, and to generate new hypotheses regarding pathogenesis.

Methods.

CLAAS subjects were identified between 2001 and 2015 at the University of Washington Medical Center, Harborview Medical Center, and affiliated clinics in Seattle, Washington, USA. Demographic, clinical, and immunologic variables were collected and correlated using contingency and logistic regression analyses. We used similar analyses to compare CLAAS subjects with all individuals exhibiting antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA+) or cocaine use (Cocaine+) in an associated deidentified clinical data repository.

Results.

We identified 50 CLAAS subjects. Compared to all Cocaine+ individuals (n = 2740), CLAAS subjects were more likely to be female and less likely to self-identify as black/African American. CLAAS subjects showed several ANCA patterns, including anti-MPO (myeloperoxidase)/anti-PR3 (proteinase 3) dual reactivity, a finding that appears to be specific to CLAAS. Hematologic, renal, and skin abnormalities were most frequently reported, including neutropenia and skin purpura. Finally, we observed strong, independent associations between the cytoplasmic ANCA (C-ANCA) pattern and mortality.

Conclusion.

We identify sex and race as important risk modifiers in the developing CLAAS among cocaine users. The development of C-ANCA was associated with increased mortality. Moreover, we confirm the enriched presence of anti-MPO/anti-PR3 dual reactivity in CLAAS, further supporting the diagnostic utility of this feature.

Objective.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and chloroquine (CQ) are key drugs in systemic lupus (SLE) and related diseases. Retinal toxicity remains the most worrisome complication. We studied factors potentially associated with retinal toxicity, using case-control analyses.

Methods.

Within our SLE clinic cohort, we identified patients with retinal changes using the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics Damage Index. We confirmed HCQ/CQ retinopathy with chart review, and selected up to 3 SLE controls for each case, matched by age at SLE diagnosis and SLE duration.

Results.

Over an average 12.8 years of followup, within 326 patients exposed to antimalarial drugs, 18 (5.5%) developed retinal toxicity. The minimum number of years of HCQ/CQ exposure before retinopathy developed was 8 years (maximum 33 yrs). Median HCQ/CQ duration was statistically similar in cases [19 yrs, interquartile range (IQR) 14–20] and controls (16 yrs, IQR 11–22), likely due to our matching on SLE duration. Versus controls, cases tended to have more renal disease (cases 22.2%, controls 14.8%) and were slightly less likely to be white (cases 61.1%, controls 74.1%), but neither variable reached statistical significance. Among patients with retinal toxicity, the number previously exposed to CQ was more than 3 times that in controls.

Conclusion.

Just over 5% of patients developed antimalarial retinal complications, over an average of 12.8 years. No cases were detected in the first 5 years of therapy. Past CQ use was more common in cases versus controls. Future studies using larger cohorts are under way to better define the roles of therapy duration, race/ethnicity, and other factors.

Objective.

Through a systematic literature search (SLR) and metaanalysis, to determine maternal and fetal outcomes in pregnancies involving systemic sclerosis (SSc), to analyze the effect of pregnancy on disease activity, and to examine predictors of fetal and maternal outcomes.

Methods.

An SLR was performed for articles on SSc and pregnancy published between 1950 and February 1, 2018. Reviewers double-extracted articles to obtain agreement on > 95% of predefined critical outcomes.

Results.

Out of 461 publications identified, 16 were included in the metaanalysis. The metaanalysis showed that pregnancies involving SSc were at higher risk of miscarriage (OR 1.6, 95% CI 1.22–2.22), fetuses with intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR; OR 3.2, 95% CI 2.21–4.53), preterm births (OR 2.4, 95% CI 1.14–4.86), and newborns with low birth weight (OR 3.8, 95% CI 2.16–6.56). Patients with SSc had a 2.8 times higher chance of developing gestational hypertension (HTN; OR 2.8, 95% CI 2.28–3.39) and a 2.3 times higher chance of cesarean delivery compared to controls (OR 2.3, 95% CI 1.37–3.8). The definitions of disease worsening/new visceral organ involvement were too inexact to have any confidence in the results, although worsening or new disease manifestations during pregnancy in 44/307 cases (14.3%) and 6 months postpartum in 32/306 cases (10.5%) were reported. The data did not permit definition of predictors of disease progression and of maternal and fetal outcomes.

Conclusion.

Pregnancies involving SSc have increased frequency of miscarriages, IUGR, preterm deliveries, and newborns with low birth weight compared to healthy controls. Women with SSc were more prone to develop gestational HTN and to undergo cesarean delivery. Disease manifestations seem to remain stable or improve in most patients.

Published: September 2019

Objective

Initial benchmarking of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) quality indicators revealed suboptimal performance across multiple centers. Our aim was to improve cardiovascular and bone health screenings at a tertiary treatment center for cSLE. This included annual measurements of vitamin D, lipid profiles, and bone mineral density through dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA).

Methods

Quality improvement methodology was applied to design and implement a standardized previsit planning process to electronically entered and saved orders for needed screenings prior to a scheduled clinic visit. Process outcomes were measured using statistical process control charts. Univariate analyses were completed to assess patient-level factors.

Results

During the study, 123 patients with cSLE participated across 619 clinic visits. The percentage of patients with completed screenings improved from 54% to 92% for annual vitamin D, 55% to 84% for annual lipid profiles, and 57% to 78% for DXA, which was sustained for more than 1 year. Providers responded to a majority of abnormal results, and improvement in the average vitamin D level was observed over time. Higher levels of disease activity, damage, number of clinic visits, and screenings completed at baseline were observed in patients with all screenings completed at the end of the intervention.

Conclusion

Implementation of elements of the chronic illness care model for cSLE management improved performance of cardiovascular and bone health screenings, a step toward preventing longterm morbidity in cSLE. Our study also suggests that more patient interaction with the healthcare system may promote successful completion of health maintenance screenings.
Comparative Persistence of Methotrexate and Tumor Necrosis Factor Inhibitors in Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, and Ankylosing Spondylitis
Authors: George Michael D. , Baker Joshua F. , Ogdie Alexis
Published: September 2019

Objective.

The role of methotrexate (MTX) for the treatment of spondyloarthritis (SpA) remains uncertain. Aims were to compare MTX and tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) persistence in spondyloarthritis versus rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to determine whether concomitant conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (csDMARD) use is associated with improved TNFi persistence in SpA.

Methods.

This retrospective cohort study using Optum’s deidentified Clinformatics Data Mart Database 2000–2014 identified patients with RA, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) without prior biologic use who were initiating MTX or a TNFi. Cox proportional hazards models compared time to medication discontinuation over the next 2 years between patients with RA, PsA, or AS, adjusting for potential confounders. In similar analyses stratified by disease, Cox models were used to assess whether concomitant use of csDMARD was associated with TNFi persistence.

Results.

We identified 31,527 MTX initiators (26,708 RA, 2939 PsA, 1880 AS) and 34,651 TNFi initiators (24,134 RA, 6705 PsA, 3812 AS). MTX was discontinued sooner in patients with PsA [adjusted HR (aHR) 1.10, 95% CI 1.04–1.16] and AS (aHR 1.23, 1.16–1.31) versus RA, while TNFi were discontinued at similar rates in RA and AS and discontinued later in PsA (aHR 0.93, 0.89–0.97). Concomitant use of MTX (compared to no csDMARD) was associated with lower rates of TNFi discontinuation in RA (aHR 0.85, 0.80–0.89), PsA (aHR 0.81, 0.74–0.89), and AS (aHR 0.79, 0.67–0.93).

Conclusion.

MTX discontinuation occurs sooner in patients with PsA and AS versus RA. Concomitant use of MTX with a TNFi, however, is associated with improved TNFi persistence in all 3 diseases.

Objective.

The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology Soluble Biomarker Working Group initiated an international, multicenter, prospective study, the Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) BIODAM cohort, to generate resources for the clinical validation of candidate biomarkers predictive of radiographic progression. This first report describes the cohort, clinical outcomes, and radiographic findings.

Methods.

Patients with RA from 38 sites in 10 countries starting or changing conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and/or starting tumor necrosis factor inhibitors were followed for 2 years. Participating physicians were required to adhere to a treat-to-target strategy. Biosamples (serum, urine) were acquired every 3 months, radiography of hands and feet every 6 months, and ultrasound of hands and feet every 3 months in a subset. Primary endpoint was radiographic progression by the Sharp/van der Heijde score.

Results.

A total of 571 patients were recruited and 439 (76.9%) completed 2-year followup. At baseline, the majority was female (76%), mean age 55.7 years, and mean disease duration 6.5 years. Patients had a mean of 8.4 swollen and 13.6 tender joints, 44-joint count Disease Activity Score (DAS44) 3.8, 77.7% rheumatoid factor–positive or anticitrullinated protein antibody–positive. Percentage of patients in DAS and American College of Rheumatology remission at 2 years was 52.2% and 27.1%, respectively. Percentage of patients with radiographic progression (> 0.5) at 1 and 2 years was 38.2% and 59.9%, respectively.

Conclusion.

The RA BIODAM prospective study succeeded in generating an extensive list of clinical, imaging (2343 radiographs), and biosample (4638 sera) resources that will be made available to expedite the identification and validation of biomarkers for radiographic damage endpoints.

Philipp Abraham Kohnstamm en de serie ‘Psychologie van het ongeloof’ (1933-1939)
Authors: Molendijk Arie L.
Published: September 2019

From 1933 to 1939 a series of eight books was published, titled ‘Psychologie van het ongeloof’ (psychology of unbelief). This article pays attention to Ph.A. Kohnstamm, the initiator and editor of this series, and gives an overview of his religious and scientific development. Kohnstamm was a scientist who converted to Christianity. He developed a Biblical personalism and focused on pedagogy in his later life. This article deals with the genesis of this series on this modern subject, and gives a description of the different authors – from various religious backgrounds and sometimes friends of Kohnstamm – and the contents of each issue, of which H.C. Rümke’s on the relation of character and predisposition to unbelief became famous. Kohnstamm wrote a general introduction to the series. Arie Molendijk questions the psychological character of the series and qualifies the series overall as apologetic.
