Authors: Sabah Alrufaiey Hind , Abdulkadhim Alrikabi Angham
Published: March 2024

A substantial aim of political communication is to engage specific groups of citizens through pragmatic policies and various media channels to convey messages and gain the audience’s acceptance effectively. This study investigates political communication as a form of discourse that occurs within political contexts, which involves the exchange of messages among political actors to address and resolve political issues. It is an interdisciplinary field encompassing aspects of psychology, economics, culture, society, and linguistics. This paper aims to give a satisfactory explanation for the question concerning effective communication characteristics: how might politicians utilize them in their speech to be more effective? This pragmatic study in discourse is devoted to analyzing the various effective syntactic structures that arise within political interactions according to Sperber and Wilson’s Theory of Relevance. The contribution of this study is evident as guidelines for further understanding the correlation between language and cognition. The researchers find that politicians seek to cognitively take advantage of the tendency of the audience to strive for relevance. In this way, expectations and attitudes are to be recognized and met by either interlocutors. The focal point of the study is the linguistic and inferential aspects of communication (verbal and non-verbal forms), represented in explicatures and implicatures. The study’s findings exhibit the politicians’ efforts in crafting their utterances optimally to meet the audience’s expectations of relevance, which could be used as an influential method for further studies concerning discourse and communication. This research paper aims to pragmatically exploit the effectiveness of the political interactions (extracts) in the House of Commons (UK parliamentary debates).

The article presents the results of a collective analysis of 181 radiocarbon and 38 luminescence dating results from the time range 50–11.7 cal kBP for samples originating in fluvial sedimentary environment in Łódź region (central Poland), south of the last glacial maximum (LGM) line. Four sites were selected for a general of fluvial deposits and the obtained dating results Struga Żłobnicka, Parchliny, Warenka, and Swędów regions. Based on the summed probability density function (PDF) curves, the study demonstrates the response of the fluvial sedimentary environment to events of overregional scale. The collective analysis of the radiocarbon age determinations from the Łódź region allows for observing the correlation between local environmental changes and large-scale changes recorded in the NGRIP core. The warming periods Greenland interstadials (GI)-3, GI-4, and GI-5.1, the cooling event GI-1b within the warming GI-1, as well as the transition between GI-1a and Greenland stadials (GS)-1, were most prominently recorded in the PDF curves. The collective analysis of the luminescence age determinations reflects a change in the river valleys, expressed by a strong aggradation during the cold maximum of the studied period.

Published: March 2024

Background: Disease-modified therapy has changed the previous practice of discontinuing multiple sclerosis (MS) treatment for fear of side effects that might impact pregnancy. Many studies have described the use of natalizumab as a medicinal agent during pregnancy, with mixed results regarding its safety and efficacy during pregnancy. For instance, this study aimed to investigate the pregnancy outcomes in pregnant women with MS who took natalizumab during the pregnancy period.
Methods: A systematic literature search was conducted during July 2023, adhering to the PRISMA guidelines. Five databases were included: PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, and Scopus. The following keywords were employed in the search "multiple sclerosis," "pregnancy," "pregnancies, "pregnant," and "natalizumab."
Results: Only eight papers out of 1,000 total records were included. No significant difference between natalizumab and the control group in terms of abortion, C-section, preterm birth, congenital abnormalities, or birth height was found (p > 0.05). However, the natalizumab-treated group had a significantly lower birth weight than the control group [Mean difference = -97.89; 95% confidence interval (CI) = -171.32, -24.45], with 82.7% relapse rate (95% CI = 72.1-89.8), being highest in the second trimester (24.9%; 95% CI = 7.4, 58.0).
Conclusion: While Natalizumab treatment appears to be relatively safe in terms of abortion rates, C-section rates, preterm delivery rates, and congenital anomalies, the increased relapse rate during pregnancy and lower birth weight observed necessitate careful monitoring and individualized care for pregnant MS patients taking natalizumab.

Introduction: The potential impact on lung function due to high exposure to ambient microparticles in cities such as Jakarta has not been comprehensively studied. The background of this research is based on the lack of studies regarding the impact of high micro-particle exposure in major cities like Jakarta on lung function. Research Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the dominant levels of ambient micro-particle concentration in urban areas of Jakarta and changes in spirometry indices among its residents. Method: A cross-sectional approach was used to determine the relationship between ambient micro-particle concentration and irregularities in spirometry indices among the urban population of Jakarta. This study involved 187 adults, aged between 20 to 65 years, mostly from the busy urban sectors of Jakarta. Statistical techniques of association and logistic regression were used for the assessment of the collected data. Results: The average exposure to ambient micro-particles was 315 µg/m³. Aberrations in spirometry indices were detected in 41.2% of participants. A significant relationship was found between high micro-particle concentrations and anomalies in spirometry readings among urban residents of Jakarta. This correlation remained significant after considering confounding factors such as gender, duration of exposure, local ventilation quality, smoking habits, and prevailing humidity. Conclusion: The results of this analysis suggest that the dominant levels of ambient micro-particles in the urban areas of Jakarta may play an important role in causing variations in spirometry results among its inhabitants..

Nasal irrigation or douche with isotonic saline solution may be in rising due to COVID-19. But there has been a debate over its efficacy as a preventive measure for acute rhinosinusitis and other forms of acute upper respiratory infections. More randomized clinical trials and other literature have shown improvements in managing allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and post-surgery patients. But few have demonstrated the significancy of saline nasal irrigation in otherwise. The European Position Paper on Rhinosinusitis and Nasal Polyps/EPOS 2020 has stated very few data was available to enable them to draw conclusion regarding nasal saline irrigation as adjunct treatment in acute rhinosinusitis. As we were in the endemic state of COVID 19, publication has risen to discuss the benefit of saline nasal douche. Literature search was conducted in PubMed and Elsevier databases. Inclusion criteria are recent publications (5 – 10 years), written in English, using Boolean method. Searching for keywords such as “nasal irrigation”, “nasal douche”, “nasal lavage”, “saline”, “acute rhinosinusitis”, and “common cold”. This review aims to discuss the latest data to answer whether isotonic saline nasal irrigation gives benefit as to prevent acute upper respiratory infections. All in all, this review recommends isotonic saline nasal douche safe to perform and may reduce prevalence and nasal symptoms in acute upper respiratory inflammation/ infection.

Indonesia achieved polio eradication along with several other members of the Southeast Asia Regional Organization (SEARO) in 2014 because it succeeded in overcoming the disease caused by the wild polio virus. Unfortunately since then Indonesia has experienced several reported outbreaks. This literature review aims to analyze the factors causing the re-emergence of poliomyelitis in Indonesia after being declared polio-free in 2014 and effective steps to stop outbreaks and prevent the re-emergence of poliomyelitis. Awareness of health workers and the public regarding polio must be increased so that Indonesia and the world can soon be polio-free. The last two outbreaks occurred in Indonesia in 2022 and 2023. The first outbreak in 2022 was in Pidie Regency, Aceh, Indonesia. In response to the poliomyelitis outbreak, the government immediately launched a simultaneous vaccination program. Since then no cases of poliomyelitis have been found until another case was found in December 2023 in Solo, Central Java, Indonesia. Once again, to respond to the poliomyelitis outbreak, the government held a simultaneous vaccination program in three districts, namely Pamekasan and Sampang, East Java and Klaten, Central Java. Followed after that by all regions in Central Java and East Java. It is expected that this quick response from the government can stop the outbreak again. The target of SubPIN (National Immunization Subweek) is to break the chain of transmission, so it must ensure that Outbreaks Response Immunization (ORI) coverage is high at least 95% and evenly distributed throughout the region. Apart from that, information to the public regarding the dangers of disease and the importance of complete vaccination to prevent disease must continue to be provided.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a highly infectious diseases that can be fatal, similar to COVID-19. Transmission occurs through droplets containing acid-resistant bacteria. TB treatment requires a considerable amount of time. The presence of someone who can monitor and ensure that the patient takes the medication regularly is important. The supervisor responsible for this is also known as the Treatrment Observer (TO), who can be a healthcare worker or a family member. In addition to the TO presence, improving nutritional conditions is also necessary to enhance treatment success rates. Several studies on the relationship between TO and nutritional status with the treatment success rates  have produced conflicting results. The objective of this research is to assess the role of TO and nutritional status in treatment success rates. The research method was observational analytics with a cross-sectional approach involving 68 subjects. Data utilized include both primary and secondary sources, with a validated questionnaire used to assess the MAS's role, and nutritional status evaluated by measuring the body mass index. Data analysis employs the Chi-square test with significance set at <0.05.The prevalence of supportive MAS is 77.9%, and the normal nutritional status category is 48.5%. The success rate of TB treatment is 60.3%, with 69.8% of them being supported by the presence of MAS. There is a significant relationship between MAS (p=0.006) and nutritional status (p=0.006) with the success of TB treatment.

World Health Organization reported that there were more than 700,000 deaths due to suicide each year. Suicide incidents were like stones thrown into calm lakes, causing widespread ripples. Levi-Belz, in his study, stated that each suicide case affected an average of five family members and up to 135 individuals, including partners, colleagues, and the community. Suicide loss survivors were at a higher risk of experiencing complicated grief, depression, and suicide compared to the bereaved due to causes. Stigmatisation of suicide behavior and suicide loss survivors made them reluctant to disclose themselves, leading to less access to the help they needed. This case report described a 51-year-old woman experiencing grief reactions due to her daughter's suicide. She exhibited denial, anger, guilt, and self-blame. Her decision not to disclose her condition to family and relatives forced her to face emotional and mental turmoils on her own. This patient is still in the acute phase of grief reactions and is receiving psychological intervention in an individual setting. The assessment of suicide risk and ongoing observation of persistent psychological symptoms should be conducted periodically.

Published: March 2024

Las valoraciones de las experiencias de Aprendizaje-Servicio (ApS) se centran, principalmente, en las percepciones de los grupos que contribuyen o se benefician del servicio. Sin embargo, los estudios que incorporen las valoraciones de los agentes institucionales son escasos. Este trabajo busca explorar las percepciones de cuatro responsables institucionales de un centro de justicia juvenil sobre una experiencia de ApS, que involucró a estudiantes universitarios del Máster del Profesorado de Educación Física conjuntamente con personas privadas de libertad, a través de un encuentro sociodeportivo. Para el análisis cualitativo de las percepciones, se llevó a cabo un grupo focal con los responsables. Entre los resultados enfatizaron el impacto positivo del ApS en el desarrollo de habilidades sociales y consideraron que los encuentros sociodeportivos son beneficiosos para la reinserción social. También destacaron la mejora individual a través de la cooperación igualitaria en las actividades de planificación. Aunque los responsables consideraron enriquecedora la experiencia, asumieron que se podrían introducir mejoras como una mayor visibilidad interna y externa de la experiencia, una mayor participación de los profesionales y estudiantes del centro y una mayor frecuencia de los encuentros socio deportivos propuestos.
Abstract
The evaluations of service-learning (SL) experiences focus mainly on the perceptions of the groups that contribute to or benefit from the service. However, studies incorporating the assessments of institutional agents are scarce. This work seeks to explore the perceptions of four institutional leaders of a juvenile justice centre on their SL experiences and focuses on university students in a master’s programme in physical education, together with people deprived of liberty, through a sociosporting meeting. For the qualitative analysis of these perceptions, a content analysis of focus group statements held with the institutional leaders is carried out. The results show the perception of a positive impact of SL on the development of social skills and a favourable stimulus for social reintegration, and the co-responsibility of both groups in the design and implementation of activities is highlighted as an element that favours the development of personal skills in the group receiving the service. From an institutional perspective, it is assumed that improvements must be made in the internal and external visibility of the experience and that the involvement of more professionals and students at the centre must be promoted.

Published: March 2024

В современном мире, сталкивающемся с бурным развитием технологий и экономических перемен, креативные навыки в инженерном образовании становятся неотъемлемой частью подготовки высококвалифицированных специалистов. Однако в Российской Федерации зачастую отсутствуют стандартизированные методы оценки и развития этих компетенций. Настоящая статья рассматривает актуальные методы оценки и развития креативных навыков в инженерном образовании в РФ, исследуя статистические данные, опросы и экспериментальные исследования, проведенные на базе ведущих технических университетов страны в период 2015-2021 гг. Одним из ключевых методов оценки креативных навыков в инженерном образовании является тест Торранса для творческого мышления (TTCT). Однако, данный метод имеет ряд ограничений, связанных с культурным и социальным контекстом. В Российской Федерации активно применяются адаптированные версии этого теста. Например, на базе Московского физико-технического института (МФТИ) в 2018 году была проведена адаптация TTCT для 200 студентов-инженеров. Результаты показали корреляцию в 0.7 между оценками TTCT и успешностью в инженерных проектах, подтверждая его эффективность для российского контекста. Именно сочетание технологических новшеств с высококвалифицированным преподавательским составом и мотивированными студентами может привести к наиболее эффективным и продуктивным результатам в образовании.

In the modern world, faced with the rapid development of technology and economic changes, creative skills in engineering education are becoming an integral part of the training of highly qualified specialists. However, in the Russian Federation there are often no standardized methods for assessing and developing these competencies. This article examines current methods for assessing and developing creative skills in engineering education in the Russian Federation, examining statistical data, surveys and experimental studies conducted at the country's leading technical universities in the period 2015-2021. One of the key methods for assessing creative skills in engineering education is the Torrance Test for Creative Thinking (TTCT). However, this method has a number of limitations related to the cultural and social context. Adapted versions of this test are actively used in the Russian Federation. For example, at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT), TTCT was adapted for 200 engineering students in 2018. The results showed a correlation of 0.7 between TTCT scores and success in engineering projects, confirming its effectiveness in the Russian context. It is the combination of technological innovation with highly qualified teaching staff and motivated students that can lead to the most effective and productive results in education.

Published: March 2024

Developing data-driven models has found successful applications in varying engineering problems. In capacitive devices like deionization and supercapacitors, there exists a potential to apply this data-driven machine learning (ML) model in optimizing it potential use in energy efficient separations or energy generation. However, these models are faced with limited datasets and even in large quantity, the datasets are incomplete, limiting their potential use for successful data-driven modeling. Here, the success of transfer learning in resolving the challenges with limited dataset was exploited. A two-step data-driven ML modeling framework named ImputeNet involving training with ML-imputed datasets and then with clean dataset was explored. Through data imputation and transfer learning, it is possible to develop data-driven model with acceptable metrics mirroring experimental measurement. Using the model, optimization studies using genetic algorithm were implemented to analyze the solution in the pareto optimal. This early insight can be used at an initial stage of experimental measurements to rapidly identify experimental conditions worthy of further investigation.

Published: March 2024

Molecular generative models based on deep learning have increasingly gained attention for their ability in de novo polymer design. However, there remains a knowledge gap in the thorough evaluation of these models. This benchmark study explores de novo polymer design using six popular deep generative models: Variational Autoencoder (VAE), Adversarial Autoencoder (AAE), Objective-Reinforced Generative Adversarial Networks (ORGAN), Character-level Recurrent Neural Network (CharRNN), REINVENT, and GraphINVENT. Various metrics highlighted the excellent performance of CharRNN, REINVENT, and GraphINVENT, particularly when applied to the real polymer dataset, while VAE and AAE show more advantages in generating hypothetical polymers. The CharRNN, REINVENT, and GraphINVENT models were further trained on real polymers utilizing reinforcement learning methods, targeting the generation of hypothetical polymers with high glass transition temperatures. The findings of this study provide critical insights into the capabilities and limitations of each generative model, offering valuable guidance for future endeavors in polymer design and discovery.

Published: March 2024

Controlled breakdown (CBD) has emerged as an effective method for fabricating solid-state nanopores in thin suspended dielectric membranes for various biomolecular sensing applications. On an unpatterned membrane, the site of nanopore formation by controlled breakdown is random. Nanopore formation on a specific site on the membrane has previously been realized using local thinning of the membrane by lithographic processes or laser-assisted photothermal etching under immersion in an aqueous salt solution. However, these approaches require elaborate and expensive cleanroom-based lithography processes or involve intricate procedures using custom-made equipment. Here, we present a rapid cleanroom-free approach using single pulse femtosecond laser exposures of 50 nm thick silicon nitride membranes in air to localize the site of nanopore formation by subsequent controlled breakdown to an area less than 500 nm in diameter on the membrane. The precise positioning of the nanopores on the membrane could be produced both using laser exposure powers which caused significant thinning of the silicon nitride membrane (up to 60 % of the original thickness locally), as well as at laser powers which caused no visible modification of the membrane at all. We show that nanopores made using our approach can work as single-molecule sensors by performing dsDNA translocation experiments. Due to the applicability of femtosecond laser processing to a wide range of membrane materials, we expect our approach to simplify the fabrication of localized nanopores by controlled breakdown in a variety of thin film material stacks, thereby enabling more sophisticated nanopore sensors.

Türk soylulara Türkçe öğretiminde öğrenci hatalarının yazma becerisi üzerinden belirlenmesi ve nedenlerinin ortaya çıkarılması (Kırgızistan’da Türkçe öğretimi örneğinde)
Authors: Kilinç Oğuz
Published: March 2024

Yabancı dil olarak Türkçenin öğretimi çalışmaları dünyada her geçen gün artarak devam etmektedir. Türkçenin öğretildiği ülkeler arasında akraba topluluklar olarak da adlandırılan Türk Cumhuriyetleri de yer almaktadır. Bu ülkelerden biri olan Kırgızistan’da her kademedeki öğrenci için Türkçe eğitim öğretim faaliyetlerini sürdüren okulları bulmak mümkündür. Türk soylulara Türkçe öğretimi, yabancılara Türkçe öğretiminden farklılık göstermektedir. Kırgızca ve Türkçe, ortak kökten gelmiş lehçelerdir. Bundan dolayı aralarında sözcük bilimsel, biçim bilimsel, söz dizimsel yönden pek çok ortak nokta bulunmaktadır. Bu ortak noktalar Türkçe öğreniminde kolaylaştırıcı etki oluşturmaktadır. Bununla birlikte Kırgızca ve Türkçe arasında bazı anlamsal ve biçimsel farklı kullanımları da görmek mümkündür. Bu farklı kullanımlar öğrencilerin sistematik hatalar yapmalarına sebep olmaktadır. Öğrencilerin dil seviyeleri ilerlemiş olsa bile bu hataları yapmaya devam ettikleri görülmektedir. Bu tarz hataların tespit edilmesi, nedenlerinin ortaya konması; çözüm önerilerinin geliştirilmesine ve Türk soylulara yönelik özel materyallerin hazırlanmasına katkı sunacaktır. Buradan hareketle Kırgızistan’da Türkçe öğretiminde yazma becerisinde karşılaşılan hata türlerini ve nedenlerini ortaya koymayı amaçladığımız bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Bizzat Türkçe öğretimini gerçekleştirmiş olduğumuz aynı düzeyde 36 kişinin farklı zamanlarda değişik konularda yazmış oldukları 72 adet kompozisyonu döküman analizi esasında incelenmiş ve burada tespit edilen hatalar fişlendikten sonra bilgisayar ortamına geçirilerek analiz edilmiş ve sık görülen hata türleri belirlenmiştir. Bu hatalar sözcük, ek, cümle düzeyinde belirlendikten sonra Kırgızca kullanımlarla karşılaştırılmış ve hataların nedenleri ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Kırgızistan’da Türkçe öğreniminde, Kırgız öğrencilerin yazma becerisine yönelik yapmış oldukları hataların, kendi dillerindeki benzer kullanımlardan hareket etmeleri, farklılıkları görememeleri ve bunun sonucu yanlış genellemeler yapmalarından kaynaklı olduğu görülmüştür.

Being and Greenness: Phenomenology of the Poetic Persona and Nature in Dylan Thomas’s Green Poems
Authors: Karaaslan Özgü Fatma
Published: March 2024

Ecopoetry, a relatively recent approach in ecocriticism, refers to nature poems which are closely linked to environmental issues. Deliberating nature in poetry is indeed not something new, yet, what is new in ecopoetry, which is a characteristic that discerns it from, especially Romantic poetry, is that it delineates the relationship between the human and non-human worlds. In other words, ecopoetry stands out from both contemporary nature poetry and Romanticist poetry. It is characterized by the eco-centric view it provides, which axiomatically brings with it the principle of reciprocity, interrelationship, and egalitarianism. In this perspective one might argue that the majority of Dylan Thomas’s (1914-1953) nature poems could be rendered ecopoems as they see nature and natural phenomena as components of a unified and closely connected whole. In these poems Dylan Thomas’s poetic eye adopts an eco-centric verb tense and functions as a camera which record the harmonised movements of the poetic persona and the natural phenomena manifesting the intentionality of the eye of the ecopoet. Through this particular vision Dylan Thomas generates a place out of space in which both human and the other-than-human are deployed, thereby creating a specific subject-object relationship according to which the existence of the human and the non-human are interrelated. This study focuses on the ontological relationship between the poetic persona and nature and analyses the subject-object relationship in Thomas’s “Poem in October”, “The Force That Through the Green Fuse Drives the Flower”, and “Fern Hill” through the lens of phenomenology and object-oriented ontology.
Female sorcerers resisting patriarchy in the Netflix series The Witcher

Published: March 2024

Lauren Schmidt’s Netflix series, The Witcher (2019), centers around the witcher, Geralt of Rivia, a professional monster hunter and his adventures in a fantasy world known as the Continent. While Geralt is the central character, the series also delves into the lives of female sorcerers who are trained by Brotherhood; an organization of skilled magic practioners who are determined to restore stability and order by governing and regulating the use of magic between kingdoms. This paper will analyze four sorcerers, Yennefer, Fringilla, Cirilla, and Tissaia, by focusing on the power of womanhood, especially the female power coming from what Silvia Federici in her book Caliban and the Witch (2004) underlines as women’s “sexuality,” “control over reproduction” and “ability to heal.” This paper argues that these three innate female traits push these four sorcerers to exert their own agency and code of ethics and, thus, dismantle the patriarchal control of Brotherhood. Drawing upon feminist literary theory, especially Silvia Federici’s book Caliban and the Witch, this article aims to analyze the power dynamics and resistance between the sorcerers and Brotherhood, the motives driving the sorcerers’ rebellion, and how these sorcerers emerge as symbols of resistance throughout the series.

Gracillaria verrucosa merupakan salah satu jenis rumput laut yang memiliki nilai ekonomis tinggi.  Permasalahan yang sering terjadi pada pembudidaya rumput laut Gracilaria verrucosa yaitu pertumbuhan lambat yang diduga karena penggunaan pupuk kimia yang secara berlebihan dan terus menerus sehingga menyebabkan menurunnya produktivitas tambak. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh pemberian pupuk vermikompos terhadap laju pertumbuhan rumput laut Gracilaria verrucosa dan kualitas rumput laut Gracilaria verrucosa. Penelitian ini dilaksnakan pada bulan Juni sampai Juli 2023 di Mini Hatchery Fakultas Ilmu Kelautan dan Perikanan Universitas Hasanuddin, Makassar. Penelitian ini tergolong penelitian eksperimen dengan metode Rancangan Acak Lengkap dengan 4 perlakuan dan 3 ulangan. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan  uji Anova  dengan taraf kepercayaan 95% dan jika perlakuan berpengaruh nyata maka dilanjutkan dengan uji w-tukey untuk mengetahui perbedaan pada perlakuan.  Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pertumbuhan spesifik tertinggi  diperoleh pada perlakuan D (475 mg/L) dengan hasil 1,68% dan pertumbuhan spesifik terendah diperoleh pada perlakuan A (Kontrol) dengan nilai 0,66%. Kemudian untuk nilai randemen agar tertinggi diperoleh pada perlakuan A (Kontrol) dengan nilai 15,85% dan nilai randemen terendah diperoleh pada perlakuan D (475 mg/L) dengan nilai 13,30%. Dan untuk nilai kekuatan gel agar tertinggi diperoleh pada perlakuan D (475 mg/L) dengan nilai 38,0947 gr/cm2 dan nilai kekuatan gel agar terendah diperoleh pada perlakuan A (Kontrol) dengan nilai 6,4424 gr/cm2.  Pemberian pupuk vermikompos memberikan pengaruh terhadap pertumbuhan dan kekuatan gel rumput laut Gracillaria verrucosa namun tidak memberikan pengaruh terhadap nilai rendemennya.

Published: March 2024

A presente pesquisa trata de uma revisão narrativa de literatura com o objetivo de mapear as necessidades de transformações da relação das políticas públicas de saúde com as medicinas tradicionais indígenas no Brasil, com foco na evolução e inclusão dessas políticas na Atenção Primária e seu alcance aos povos originários. Para a coleta de dados, foram selecionadas as bases de dados Pubmed e Google Acadêmico, além de busca manual nas listas de referências dos trabalhos selecionados. Desse modo, observou-se que grande parte dos serviços de saúde ainda operam sob a limitação etnocêntrica da não inclusão do uso de plantas medicinais na promoção e no cuidado à saúde. Em vista disso, a competência intercultural e a capacitação das equipes de saúde carecem de ser aprimoradas, além de haver necessidade de correção estrutural na forma com que as políticas e serviços de saúde são delineados e implantados.

A presente pesquisa versa sobre a violência obstétrica sob a luz da interseccionalidade de gênero, raça e classe social. Para tanto, o problema foi analisado de diferentes perspectivas, desde a construção histórica até a atual conjuntura, comprovando que a temática é ainda mais complexa por relacionar-se, intrinsecamente, com outras questões socioeconômicas. Analisou-se a naturalização de tais práticas nas instituições obstétricas e a perpetuação desta cultura, bem como o psicológico da parturiente tendo em vista a sua importância. O estudo foi realizado por meio de uma revisão sistemática de literatura, a partir de informações coletadas em artigos disponíveis nas plataformas UpToDate, Google, Scielo e PubMed. A relevância do tema vai desde a necessidade científica de abordá-lo até a possibilidade de um novo olhar mais humanizado pelos acadêmicos e profissionais da área. Dessa forma, essa pesquisa objetivou verificar a existência de abusos obstétricos na rede de saúde, com o intuito de dar visibilidade à problemática evidenciada, por vezes negligenciada e omitida pelas autoridades competentes. Ademais, verificar possíveis fatores que possam contribuir para a prática ou não da violência obstétrica, tais como cor, etnia, classe social, grau de escolaridade, faixa etária entre outros fatores.
