Published: February 2020

Background In Zimbabwe, almost 25% of infants are born with low birth weight (LBW). LBW accounts for over half of the neonatal deaths in the country. Anaemia during pregnancy has been inconsistently associated with an increased risk of LBW. However, very little data is available from countries where HIV prevalence is high, wherein HIV is also known to be a common risk factor to LBW. This study examined the relationship between maternal anaemia and LBW among HIV-infected pregnant women in Zimbabwe. Methods This was a secondary data analysis of the 2015 Zimbabwe Demography and Health Survey. Data for 809 HIV positive women aged 15-49 years and their infants from all live births preceding the survey by 5 years were included in the study. Modified-Poisson regression methods were used to determine the association between anaemia and LBW while adjusting for other risk factors. Results The prevalence of maternal anaemia and LBW among the HIV-infected pregnant women was 42.3% (n=342) and 16.3% (n =132) respectively. The prevalence of LBW was14.6% (n=50) and 17.6% (n=82) among anaemic and non-anaemic HIV positive women respectively (p=0.264). HIV infected pregnant women with anaemia had a 25% less chance of giving birth to infants with LBW compared to HIV infected mothers without anaemia, however, the association was not statistically significant (RR 0.75; 95% CI 0.53- 1.05). Conclusions The findings demonstrate a high prevalence of anaemia and LBW among HIV infected pregnant women. Nonetheless, maternal anaemia was not associated with LBW. There is a need for adapted monitoring of HIV-positive pregnant women and affordable improved nutrition during antenatal care to reduce the risk of LBW infants and maternal anaemia levels. Further research examining the relationship between maternal anaemia and LBW among HIV positive pregnant women whilst factoring in the role of ART and the severity of anaemia is required.
Whether to Fused PET/CT or CECT in Post-Therapeutic Colorectal Cancer Assessments: A Study of the Efficacy of the Modality of Choice among Egyptian Patients
Authors: Baz Ahmed , Hassan Talaat Ahmed
Published: February 2020

One of the most common cancers, colorectal cancer accounts for several tumor-related mortalities; its high recurrence rates either as a local recurrence of the disease or as a distant metastatic disease (up to 35-40%) have been reported in the treated patients within the first two years following surgery. There has been heated debate over the modality of choice for imaging the primary colorectal cancer.This study investigates the diagnostic performance of fused Positron Emission Tomography/ Computed Tomography (PET/CT) in comparison to Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography(CECT) as a follow-up and restaging imaging tool for post-therapeutic colorectal cancers. Data were collected from 84 Egyptian patients (26 females and 58 males, age ranges from 35 to 80) who were treated from colorectal cancers. They were referred to a private imaging center for evaluation of their disease recurrence by fused PET/CT.Disease recurrence was categorized as operative bed recurrence/residual (incomplete therapeutic response), nodal, and distal metastases.With reference to histopathology reports, the fused PET\CT had sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and an overall accuracy of 93.33%, 83.33%, 93.33%, 83.33% & 90.48% respectively as compared to CECT(73.33%, 58.33%, 81.48%, 46.67%, 69. 05% respectively).Our findings indicate that fused PET\CT may be more effective than the CECT regarding the detection of operative bed recurrent disease and incomplete therapeutic responses. PET\CT may also offer a cost-effective whole-body scan for restaging the recurrent diseases through an accurate detection of the nodal and distant metastases.

Published: February 2020

Background The dietary approaches to stop hypertension (DASH) diet has several components that might improve attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. This randomized controlled clinical trial (RCT) aimed to investigate the effect of the DASH diet on ADHD symptoms in children, for the first time.Methods Children (aged 6-12 years) with ADHD were randomized to receive a DASH or a control diet for 12 weeks. The severity of ADHD symptoms [determined by abbreviated 10-item Conner’s scale (ACS), 18-item Swanson, Nolan and Pelham (SNAP-IV) scale and strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ)], as well as dietary intakes, physical activity, and anthropometric measurements, were assessed every four weeks. The symptom scores provided by teachers, parents, and children were compared between the two groups, in multivariable-adjusted models.Results A total of 80 children completed the study. After adjustment for age, sex, energy intake, and baseline values significant group effects were observed for parent-reported ACS score, children-reported emotional symptoms and peer relationship problems, and parent-reported scores of prosocial behaviors based on the SDQ scale (Pgroup<0.05). Significant group*time effects were indicated in teacher-reported ACS score, teacher-reported Hyperactivity and impulsivity, and parent-reported combined score based on SNAP-IV, and teacher/child-reported scores for hyperactivity, parent and teacher-reported scores of emotional symptoms, peer relationship problems, and prosocial behavior, and also teacher/parent/child-reported total SDQ score (Pgroup*time<0.05). The adjusted mean in teacher/parent-reported ACS scores, teacher/parent/child-reported hyperactivity, and total SDQ scores, teacher-reported emotional symptoms, conduct problems, peer relationship problems, and prosocial behaviors assessed by the SDQ were significantly improved in the DASH compared to the control group (P<0.05).Conclusions Adherence to the DASH diet might beneficially improve ADHD symptoms. Further RCTs with more follow-up period which include participants from both sexes are needed to confirm these results.Trial registration: The trial was registered in the Iranian registry of clinical trials (registration code: IRCT20130223012571N6).

Authors: Yang Chun-Ting , Yang Chen-Yi , Ou Huang-Tz , Kuo Shihchen
Published: February 2020

Background : Current evidence about the cardiovascular safety of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1ra) possesses limited generalizability to real-world patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) in usual practice. This study aimed to investigate the comparative cardiovascular safety of GLP-1ra in head-to-head comparisons with dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i), sulfonylurea (SU), and insulin in a real-world population with T2D. Methods : Adults with newly-diagnosed T2D were identified from Taiwan’s National Health Insurance Research Database in 2003-2014. A prevalent new-user cohort design was adopted to include a broad representation of real-world T2D patients being treated with GLP-1ra. The between-group comparability of baseline patient characteristics was achieved by matching on (1) initiation time of study drugs, (2) prior exposure to glucose-lowering agents, and (3) diabetes severity and complications, comorbidities, and concomitant cardiovascular medications using propensity scores. The primary outcome was a composite of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and assessed up to the end of 2015. Cox modeling was employed to assess the association between study drugs and outcomes. Results : A total of 3,195 GLP-1ra stable users was identified in 2011-2014. 1,893, 1,829, and 1,367 GLP-1ra stable users were 1:1 matched to DPP-4i, SU and insulin users, respectively. Compared to DPP-4i, SU and insulin, the use of GLP-1ra was associated with a lower risk of composite CVD events (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]: 0.73 [0.57-0.96], 0.76 [0.57-1.00], and 0.81 [0.62-1.07], respectively). Subgroup analyses revealed that GLP-1ra versus DPP-4i yielded a greater cardiovascular benefit in those without established CVD versus those with established CVD. Conclusions : This head-to-head comparison study extends the supporting evidence for the cardiovascular safety of GLP-1ra to a broad spectrum of real-world T2D patients using GLP-1ra.

Published: February 2020

Herein a new type of 2D/0D/2D face-to-face contact g-C 3 N 4 @Au@Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 heterojunction photocatalysts have been developed. The ternary composite photocatalysts are constructed by coupling Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 nanosheets with g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets face-to-face and sandwiching Au nanoparticles between Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 and g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets. The as-prepared g-C 3 N 4 @Au@Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 composite photocatalysts were systematically investigated by various characterization techniques including XRD, UV–vis DRS, FTIR, SEM, TEM and XPS. The degradation experiments were carried out by removing rhodamine B (RhB) from water under simulated sunlight. It is found that the g-C 3 N 4 @Au@Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 composite photocatalysts exhibit much enhanced photodegradation performance when compared with bare Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 and g-C 3 N 4 nanosheets, and moreover they exhibit excellent photocatalytic stability in recycling dye degradation. The underlying photodegradation mechanism of the g-C 3 N 4 @Au@Bi 4 Ti 3 O 12 composite photocatalysts was systematically investigated and discussed.
In-situ formed and low-temperature deposited Nb: TiO2 compact-mesoporous layer for hysteresis-less perovskite solar cells with high performance
Authors: Yu Miao , Sun Haoxuan , Huang Xiaona , Yan Yichao , Zhang Wanli
Published: February 2020

Recently, reported perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with high power conversion efficiency (PCE) are mostly based on mesoporous structures containing mesoporous titanium oxide (TiO 2 ) which is the main factor to reduce the overall hysteresis. However, existing fabrication approaches for mesoporous TiO 2 generally require a high temperature (>450 °C) annealing process. Moreover, there is still plenty of scope for improvement in terms of increasing the electron conductivity and reducing the carrier recombination. Herein, a facile one-step, in situ and low-temperature method was developed to prepare an Nb:TiO 2 compact-mesoporous layer to serve as both a scaffold and an electron transport layer (ETL) in PSCs. The Nb:TiO 2 compact-mesoporous layer based PSCs exhibit suppressed hysteresis, which is attributed to the synergistic effect of the large interface surface area caused by nano-pin morphology on the surface and the improved carrier transportation caused by the presence of Nb. Such a high-quality compact-mesoporous layer allows the PSC achieve a remarkable PCE of 19.74%. This work promises an effective approach for creating hysteresis-less and high-efficiency PSCs based on compact-mesoporous structures with lower energy consumption and cost.

Background The molecular knowledge of primary esophageal achalasia is essential for the early diagnosis and treatment of this neurodegenerative motility disorder. So it is substantial to find the main microRNAs (miRNAs), which are related to mechanisms of achalasia. Methods This study aimed to determine some patterns of deregulated miRNAs in achalasia. This case-control study was performed on 52 achalasia patients and 50 non-achalasia controls. The miRNA expression profiling was conducted on esophageal tissue samples from achalasia and non-achalasia patients, via next-generation sequencing (NGS). Differential expression of miRNAs was analyzed by edgeR software. The selected dysregulated miRNAs were additionally confirmed using RT-qPCR. Potential target genes of the down-regulated and up-regulated miRNAs were also predicted to understand the putative role of the miRNAs in achalasia. Results We identified 15 miRNAs that were significantly altered in the achalasia tissues compared to controls. Among these miRNAs, three; miR-133a-5p, miR-143-3p and miR-6507-5p were up-regulated. Also we found six miRNAs; miR-215-5p, miR-216a-5p, miR-216b-5p, miR-217, miR-7641 and miR-194-5p were down-regulated significantly. The predicted targets for the dysregulated miRNAs showed significant disease-associated pathways like neuron cell apoptosis, neuromuscular balance, neuron growth factor signaling and immune response regulation. Gene expression analysis confirmed significant downregulation of hsa-miR-217 (p-value =0.004) in LES of achalasia patients with significant enrichment in myelination process ontology. This study provides the first integrated miRNA expression profile using NGS in achalasia. Our findings introduced 15 candidate microRNAs as achalasia associated non-coding RNAs genes showing confirmed downregulation of the hsa-miR-217 in Achalasia disease. Conclusions Our results may serve as a basis for more future functional studies to discover the role of candidate miRNAs in the etiology of achalasia and their application in diagnosis and probably treatment.

Published: February 2020

Background The comparison of the demographic, epidemiological, and clinical characteristics of hospital human influenza (influenza A (H1N1) pdm09, H3N2, and B) -related and hospitalized avian-origin influenza A (H7N9)-related viral pneumonia patients has not been reported. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in hospitalized influenza-related viral pneumonia patients. Results The average age of hospitalized human influenza A -related viral pneumonia patients was lower than B pneumonia patients(p<0.05), human influenza A -related patients in the 35–49-year-old group were more than those with B pneumonia patients (p<0.05), and relatively less in the ≥65-year-old group than B pneumonia patients (p=0.079). The proportion of patients who have at least one comorbid condition to human influenza A pneumonia was lower than B and H7N9 pneumonia (p<0.05). The proportion of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), lymphocytopenia, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, and d-dimer to hospitalized human influenza A-related viral pneumonia patients was higher than B pneumonia patients (p<0.05), but lower than H7N9 pneumonia patients (p<0.05). Conclusions Hospital influenza B-related viral pneumonia mainly affects the elderly and people with underlying diseases, while human influenza A pneumonia mainly affects the young adults; however, the mortality was similar. The proportion of severe cases to hospital human influenza A-related viral pneumonia patients was higher than those of B pneumonia patients but lower than H7N9 pneumonia patients. Pulmonary consolidation and positive bacterial culture (sputum) were independently associated with IMV, while shock, white blood cell count >10,000/mm 3 , and positive bacterial culture (blood or sputum) were independently associated with death to three types hospitalized influenza-related viral pneumonia patients.

Published: February 2020

Background: The prevalence of hypertension is high and increasing in China in recent years. The treatment and control of hypertension calls for long-term management beyond hospital, which is hard to implement in traditional care settings. Integrated care combined with information technology can promote high-quality healthcare services across the life-course. However, few studies have applied a customized integrated care model in community-based hypertension management in China, catering to the emerging "three-manager" mode. This study aims to identify the effectiveness of a pathway-driven eHealth-based integrated model that implemented as a full-featured telehealth system to facilitate standardized management of hypertension in China.Methods: The trial has been designed as a one-year, non-blinded superiority trial with two parallel groups. A total of 402 hypertensive patients who meet the eligibility criteria will be recruited and randomized with a 1:1 allocation. All the participants will receive a mobile device for self-management, which is a part of our telehealth system. Participants in the control group will only use the device for BP measurement and receive regular follow-ups from care providers according to the guidelines. Participants in the intervention group will gain full access to the system and receive intervention based on the proposed model (a well-designed coordinated care pathway consisting of 9 tasks). Outcomes will be measured mainly on three occasions (at inclusion, at 6 months and at 12 months). The primary outcome is mean change in systolic blood pressure over a 12-month period. Secondary outcomes include changes in diastolic blood pressure, biochemical indexes related to hypertension, lifestyles, self-management adherence and hypertension awareness, as well as work efficiency of care providers.Discussion: This study aims to determine whether a pathway-driven eHealth-based integrated care model based on the "three-manager" mode will improve hypertension control in China. Success of the model would help improve the quality of present community-based management procedures and benefit more patients with uncontrolled hypertension.Trial registration: Chinese Clinical Trial Registry ChiCTR1900027645, registered on November 22, 2019.

Authors: li shuangshuang , Liu Tingjie , Xia Junming , Jia Jie , Li Wenxian
Published: February 2020

Background: Postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) are common side-effects following strabismus surgery. The present study aimed to compare the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine (DEX) on PONV incidence in pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery. Methods: In this prospective randomized double-blinded study, 126 pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery were randomized into one of three groups: Placebo group, normal saline; DEX1 group, 0.3 ug/kg dexmedetomidine, and DEX2 group, 0.5 ug/kg dexmedetomidine. Oculocardiac reflex (OCR) events were recorded during surgery. PONV or postoperative vomiting (POV) was recorded for 24 hours in the ward. Pediatric anesthesia emergence delirium (PAED) scale and emergence agitation (EA) scale were recorded in the recovery room. Results: Intraoperative OCR was significantly reduced in DEX2 group (42%) as compared to that of Placebo group (68%) (p=0.0146). During the first 24 hours post-op, the overall incidence of PONV was significantly lower in DEX2 group (10%) than that of Placebo group (32%) (p=0.0142). There was no significant difference in POV among the three groups. PAED or EA scores among the three groups were similar during recovery time. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine (0.5 ug/kg) reduced OCR and PONV without lengthening extubation time or recovery time in pediatric patients undergoing strabismus surgery. Trial registration：The trial was prospectively registered before patient enrollment at Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Clinical Trial Number: ChiCTR1800020176, Date: 12/19/2018).

Study of deuteron-proton backward elastic scattering at intermediate energies
Authors: Ladygina Nadezhda
Published: February 2020

We study deuteron- proton elastic scattering in the deuteron energy
range between 500 MeV and 2 GeV at the cms scattering angle
\theta^*\ge 140^\circθ*≥140∘.
The reaction is considered in the relativistic multiple scattering
expansion framework. The four reaction mechanisms are included into
consideration: one-nucleon exchange, single scattering, double
scattering, and the term corresponding to the delta excitation in the
intermediate state.

The model is applied to describe the angular dependence of the
differential cross section at the deuteron energies of between 880 and
1300 MeV. Also the energy dependence of the differential cross section
and polarisation observables such as tensor analyzing power
T_{20}T20
and polarization transfer from the deuteron to proton
\varkappa𝜘
are considered at the scattering angle equal to
180^\circ∘.
Contributions of the different reaction mechanisms into the reaction
amplitude are demonstrated in comparison with the existing experimental
data.

:

Malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis is an extremely rare and often a deadly tumor. Preoperative diagnosis is very difficult due to lack of specific clinical manifestations, mainly including hydrocele formation and painless inguinal mass. In this abstract we present a case of a young patient with hydrocele and dull pain of left testes, was planned for laparoscopic repair of left inguinal hernia, during which a mass attached to the scrotal cord was discovered. Dissection and release of the mass from the cord structure were done, and postoperative pathological examination revealed a malignant mesothelioma arising from the left tunica vaginalis testis. Case was then referred to oncology center where intraperitoneal hyperthermic chemotherapy with cytoreductive surgery were done.
Relationship Between Level of Heart Type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (Before and after Procedures) with Acute Renal Failure after PCI in Patients Under PCI
Authors: Haybar Habib , Assareh Ahmad R. , Mohammadzadeh Mina , Hovyzian Shahla A.
Published: February 2020

Background & Objective:

Acute renal failure (AKI) is one of the most important
complications of PCI. Due to delay in creatinine increase, we need specific factors to detect AKI
earlier. The aim of this study is to evaluate the valuable factors by focusing on HFAB-P that can be
predictive for AKI after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).

Methods:

This prospective study was performed on 95 patients (55 males and 44 females aged
between 49-78 years) under PCI in Golestan and Imam Khomeini hospitals in Ahvaz. Patients were
divided into three groups based on the development of AKI after the procedure: no AKI, severe
AKI (doubling of serum creatinine or needing dialysis) and any type of AKI (increased creatinine ≥
0/3 mg/dl or a 50% increase in the means of 1/5 times serum creatinine). The demographic and
clinical characteristics of the patients, the medical history and the results of the HFABP marker,
GFR, and creatinine before and after PCI were evaluated for all patients.

Results:

The progenies showed 6 patients with severe AKI, 17 patients with any type of AKI, and
72 patients without AKI. Diabetes (P = 0.003), hypertension (P = 0.027), gender of patients (P =
0.025) and hospital admission days (P <0.001) were significantly different among the groups.
Patients' age and positive troponin were significantly higher in patients with AKI. HFABP was the
only factor that had significant changes before and after PCI (P <0.001). The cut-off value of
HFABP was 4.69 with 95.6% sensitivity and 84.7% specificity. It has a good negative predictive
value of 98.39% which suggests it to be a good test for the AKI prediction. Glomerular Filtration
Rate (GFR) and creatinine (Cr) were significantly different after PCI (P <0.001).

Conclusion:

HFABP can be considered as a predictor for AKI after PCI. Moreover, our study
suggests that evaluating several parameters such as Cr and GFR before and after PCI can predict the
AKI development after PCI.

Internet Influence of Assisted Reproduction Technology Centers in China: Qualitative Study Based on WeChat Official Accounts
Authors: Shao Fang , He Zhiqiang , Zhu Zheng , Wang Xiang , Zhang Jianping , Shan Jinhua , Pan Jiajia , Wang Hui
Published: February 2020

Background

The prevalence of infertility in China is high, but the advent of assisted reproduction technology (ART) has greatly eased this situation. Social media, such as WeChat official accounts, have become the preferred tool for ART centers to communicate with patients, but their attention and operational status differ, and the Internet influence of WeChat official accounts is insufficient. In addition, questions about whether Internet influence is consistent with academic influence and whether the Internet can influence patients’ choice of medical treatment to a certain extent have not been explored.

Objective

This study aimed to examine the operational status and Internet influence of WeChat official accounts for ART centers and to explore the degree of Internet influence on patients’ choices of medical treatment.

Methods

We collected information from the WeChat official accounts for ART centers approved by the National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China and used the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution to build an Internet influence model of the ART centers and obtained a Ranking of Internet Influence on Reproductive Centers (RIIRC) for each center.

Results

We found there were 451 ART centers throughout the country by the end of 2016 and 498 by the end of 2018. The number of medical institutions is quite large, but their distribution is uneven, and their level of medical technical ability is very different. Analysis of the text data of posts of WeChat official accounts showed the ART centers have insufficient awareness of network exposure and publicity, and the RIIRC of some medical institutions was inconsistent with their medical level and academic status.

Conclusions

ART institutions have varying degrees of emphasis and use of WeChat official accounts in China. They fail to realize that the Internet influence of WeChat may bring them potential patient resources and that Internet influence may affect the future market structure of ART and may also potentially affect academic rankings.

Peluang dan Tantangan Internasionalisasi Pemikiran Muhammadiyah
Authors: Abdullah M. Amin
Published: February 2020

Studi ini mencoba membandingkan dan mengevaluasi dua gerakan Islam terbesar di dunia, yaitu Muhammadiyah dan Gulen Movement, khususnya dalam bidang internasionalisasi pemikiran Islam. Tampak bahwa, Gulen Movement memiliki banyak keunggulan dalam persoalan tersebut. Gerakan internasionalisasi yang dilakukan, telah merambah seluruh aspek kehidupan, khususnya di bidang pendidikan yang berbasis etos hizmet (voluntary services) yang menekankan pentingnya penguasaan sains mutakhir dan studi Islam. Hasilnya, para anggota Gulen Movement telah menyebar ke seluruh belahan dunia, yang diikuti oleh para anggota yang berasal dari negara-negara dan bangsa-bangsa yang tidak terbatas hanya pada warga negara Turki. Dalam konteks desaminasi kebajikan ini, Gulen Movement menarik untuk dipertimbangkan oleh organisasi-organisasi keagamaan di Indonesia, khususnya pula oleh Muhammadiyah yang berusia satu abad lebih. Dengan demikian, bila merujuk pada metode dan strategi Gulen Movement, peluang untuk memperkenalkan pemikiran Islam Indonesia yang unik, seperti Islam yang toleran, ramah dan moderat, akan membawa mimpi bersama umat Muslim Indonesia menjadi kenyataan.
Internasionalisasi Konsep Purifikasi dalam Manhaj Tarjih Muhammadiyah
Authors: Santoso M. Abdul Fattah
Published: February 2020

Tulisan ini akan membahas tentang kesiapan Muhammadiyah dalam memperkenalkan manhaj ijtihad di hadapan publik internasional. Kesiapan tersebut menyangkut kematangan konsep populer yang khas dan berkembang secara inheren pada metodologi ijtihad Muhammadiyah, yaitu purifikasi. Purifikasi yang pada mulanya ditafsirkan sebagai gerak formalisasi syariah, mengalami pergeseran makna menuju spiritualisasi syariah. Ruang lingkup yang menjadi jangkauan ijtihad Muhammadiyah saat ini, bukan hanya pada bidang hukum Islam, melainkan juga berbagai persoalan sosial dan humaniora. Ketika agama Islam yang genap dengan nilai-nilai kebajikan universal dianggap perlu untuk mengambil bagian dalam rangka menyelesaikan berbagai masalah global, maka Muhammadiyah juga dianggap telah siap mendesaminasikan pemikiran Islam progresif ke seluruh dunia
"Manda Nude": jogos de saber-poder e produção de subjetividade
Authors: Nicaretta Fernanda , Hennigen Inês
Published: February 2020

Apresentamos um recorte de nossa pesquisa de mestrado que focalizou a produção de discursos e de subjetividade relacionada à prática de compartilhar nudes através de mídias digitais, e que teve como corpus materiais (textos, música, vídeos, etc.) coletados na internet. Uma leitura inspirada nas teorizações foucaultianas possibilitou-nos tecer problematizações quanto ao enunciado “Manda nude”. Neste artigo, damos ênfase à forma como os pedidos de nudes são propostos, compostos e expressos, discutindo aquilo que é acionado no seu entorno. Assim, trazemos a articulação de alguns campos discursivos que operam sobre o corpo/sujeito quando está em questão fazer produzir e circular nudes: relativos à heterossexualidade masculina, à moralidade, ao humor, ao entretenimento e ao status de amador das fotografias. Ressaltamos que tal prática nada tem de neutra, sendo atravessada por saberes e forças que engendram certas posições subjetivas, coloca-se, portanto, enquanto uma temática pertinente a futuros estudos em Psicologia Social.
Violências, mulheres travestis, mulheres trans: problematizando binarismos, hierarquias e naturalizações.
Authors: Souza Mériti , De Oliveira Prado Marcelo
Published: February 2020

O presente artigo problematiza violências vivenciadas por pessoas que se reconhecem ou já se reconheceram como mulheres travestis e mulheres transexuais – uma das entrevistadas no momento da entrevista se reconheceu como crossdresser. Foram realizadas entrevistas na Região da Grande Florianópolis e a análise ocorreu a partir das referências de autores como Jacques Derrida e Judith Butler, considerando as suas críticas aos binarismos e as hierarquias entendendo-os como produtores de relações de violências. Também foram utilizadas contribuições do transfeminismo, como a noção de cisheteronormatividade. As performances de gênero de mulheres travestis e mulheres trans foram relacionadas à abjeção desses corpos que não condizem com os ideais normativos de gênero. Essa abjeção está relacionada à exposição a situações de violências associadas à sua concomitante naturalização. Desconstruir pares como homem/mulher, natureza/cultura, vítima/agressor, pode contribuir com o deslizamento de sentidos dessas cristalizações binárias, destituindo o lugar de violência ocupado por corpos trans e travestis.
Casa-grande, discurso do mestre e senzala: interpretação e colonialidade
Authors: Basso Fernando , De Oliveira Weinmann Amadeu
Published: February 2020

Este artigo analisa a interpretação de Charles Melman sobre a colonização brasileira, apresentando sua leitura psicanalítica da clássica obra de Gilberto Freyre, Casa-grande e senzala, a partir do conceito lacaniano discurso do mestre. Nesse percurso teórico, introduzimos os principais elementos conceituais que sustentaram a interpretação de Melman sobre a cultura brasileira: verticalização discursiva, sexualidade colonial fundada no sadomasoquismo e proposição de uma psicopatologia da colonização. Posteriormente, discutimos o contraponto realizado por alguns psicanalistas, no que concerne a essa intepretação do Brasil, e contextualizamos as controvérsias entre psicanálise e colonização, apontando a declinologia francesa (hipótese do declínio da função paterna) como uma reedição do eurocentrismo colonial. Por fim, relançamos a pergunta que orienta a escrita deste trabalho: pode uma interpretação psicanalítica consistir em ato colonizador?Palavras-chave: psicanálise; interpretação; colonialidade; cultura brasileira.
