Authors: Opara Ijeoma Margaret , Uwah Idongesit Victor
Published: October 2022

The study investigated Effect of Assessment for Learning (AfoL) on Mathematics Performance among Senior Secondary School Students in Port Harcourt Metropolis. The study adopted the quasi-experimental research design. The population of the study comprised of 3,234 SS2 students drawn across all public secondary schools in Port Harcourt metropolis. A sample of 60 SS2 students across two schools was drawn for the study using purposive sampling technique. Intact class was used without random assignment. The researcher classified the students into the experimental and the treatment groups using the two schools (School A & B) with school A being the experimental group (AfoL) and B (AoL) the control group. These are the assessment for learning group as school A and the control group. The research instrument used for the study was “Mathematics Performance Test” (MPT) which served as pre-test and a reshuffled version serving as the posttest. Table of specification (ToS) was used to determine content and validity of the instrument while KR20 was used to determine a reliability coefficient of 0.91. Mean and standard deviation, t-test and 2-Way ANOVA were used in the analysis. Results showed that there is a significant difference (p=0.000<0.05) in the effect of AfoL on mathematics performance of senior secondary school students in Port Harcourt metropolis as compared between their pretest and posttest scores. There was also a significance difference (p=.021<.05) in the effect of AfoL on mathematics performance of senior secondary school students in Port Harcourt metropolis as compared between the experimental and control groups. On the other hand, there was no significant difference (p=.80>.05) in the effect of AfoL and AoL on mathematics performance of male and female senior secondary school students in Port Harcourt metropolis. Based on this, recommendation among others was that classroom teachers and evaluators should from time to time assess their students (AfoL) instead of waiting till the end of the term (Summative assessment).

E-retailers have challenging facing their competitors online according to the huge increase in e-stores and, increase in online shoppers' awareness toward using online shopping sites. Using the TAM model, this study aimed to measure the effect of perceived ease of use and usefulness, as well as an attitude toward online shopping on women's intention to reuse online shopping in Saudi Arabia. The quantitative approach was applied in this study with causal and descriptive research. A judgment sampling technique was used in this research, 367 questionnaires have distributed, and only 320 questionnaires were valid to conduct the analysis by using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) in Smart-PLS Software version 3.0. The findings of the study have indicated that perceived ease of use related to usefulness and female shoppers' attitude toward online shopping positively and have a significant effect on them. On the other hand, perceived usefulness has no significant influence on female shoppers' attitudes toward online shopping. Finally, female shoppers' attitude toward online shopping has a positive and significant influence on intention to reuse online shopping sites.
A fénykép és a film szerepe az első világháború utáni nemzetközi humanitárius akciókban
Authors: Perényi Roland
Published: October 2022

Az első világháború és a háborút követő forradalmak okozta politikai káoszban Magyarország a humanitárius katasztrófa szélére sodródott. Az ország vezetése hamar belátta, hogy saját erőből nem sikerülhet a krízis megoldása. Az úgynevezett koncentrációs kormányt vezető Huszár Károly miniszterelnök felismerte, hogy az általa meghirdetett segélyakció csak akkor lehet hatásos, ha a nemzetközi közösség számára bemutatják az országban uralkodó állapotokat. Ennek érdekében számos felvilágosító előadás, kiadvány és cikk született. Ez a humanitárius összefogás érdekében végzett propaganda egyúttal a külpolitikai elszigeteltségből való kitörésben is segítette Magyarországot. A válságos időszak a gyermekek számára jelentette a legnagyobb megpróbáltatást. Nem véletlen, hogy az első világháború utáni jótékonysági propaganda döntően a gyermekek megsegítésére irányult. A háborús megpróbáltatások iránt kialakuló nemzetközi figyelem egyúttal a gyermekek szenvedésének fokozott vizuális reprezentációját is eredményezte. Tanulmányomban az 1920-as évek elején a több alkalommal meghirdetett jótékonysági akciók kapcsán keletkezett, jelentős részben az úgynevezett gyermekvonat-akciókhoz kapcsolódó felvilágosító, egyben propagandacélokat is szolgáló fotográfiákat mutatom be. Az első világháború folyamán egyre népszerűbbé vált a nagyvárosi populáris kultúra legújabb műfaja, a mozi. A mozgóképben hamar felfedezték a propagandisztikus lehetőségeket is, így már az első világháború idején használták a hadviselő felek a mozit a nézőközönség mozgósítására. A filmnek ez a funkciója a háború utáni időszakban is megmaradt, esetünkben azonban sokkal inkább a vesztesek oldalán álló Magyarország kilátástalan helyzetének minél szélesebb körben történő bemutatására szolgált. Tanulmányom második felében ilyen, a háborút követően keletkezett, a nemzetközi közösség támogatását elnyerni célzó, jórészt ugyancsak a gyermekvonat-akciókhoz kapcsolódóan készített propagandafilmeket mutatok be.

A fotografikus képi struktúra alkotói és jellemzőik – 20. századi családi fényképek példáin keresztül
Authors: Terendi Viktória
Published: October 2022

A privát fényképek olyan összetett médiumként értelmezhetők, amelyek a valóságként elfogadott közeg és a benne adott pillanatban megvalósult aktivitásoknak csak egy részletét metszik ki, mégis mindezek látható szegmenseinek, széles spektrumát képesek rögzíteni. A hozzájuk kapcsolódó, elbeszéléssé formált emlékek pedig mindezeket olyan további információkkal egészítik ki, amelyek a képi tartalom belső összefüggéseit, az ábrázolt szituáció értelmezését, valamint annak tágabb kontextusát világítják meg. A fotókhoz tapadó tartalomegyüttes tehát rétegzett. A tanulmány célja, hogy az explicit tartalmi réteget, azaz a felszíni vizuális információegyüttest alkotóelemeire bontsa, és szisztematikusan elemezze annak érdekében, hogy feltáruljanak a mélyebb tartalmi rétegek értelmezését befolyásoló tulajdonságaik. Ahhoz, hogy a kétdimenziós látványelemmé formált idő, tér, személyek és események fontosabb jellemzőit áttekintse a szerző, az életmódváltozáshoz kapcsolódó vizuális etnográfiai kutatásának több mint kétezer családi fotóból álló forrásanyagát veszi górcső alá.

A (köz)gyűjteményi fotódigitalizálás helyzete és legújabb lehetőségei, különös tekintettel a Főfotó anyagára
Authors: Telek Ágnes
Published: October 2022

A napjainkban megkerülhetetlennek számító digitális tartalmak között az egyik legfontosabb, vizuálisan leginkább reprezentatív anyagot az archív fotográfiai gyűjtemények jelentik. Ezek digitalizálása állományvédelmi okok miatt is kiemelten fontos, hiszen az állagromlás komoly veszélyt jelent számukra, még a legakkurátusabban felszerelt és optimalizált raktárakban is. A közgyűjteményi szektor (GLAM sector = Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) hazai és nemzetközi képviselői is csak az utóbbi egy-két évtizedben tettek szignifikáns lépéseket fotóanyagok megmentése és tömeges digitalizálása, közzététele érdekében. Az egyik érdekes és tanulságos példa a New York Times fotóarchívumának digitalizálása, ami a Google Cloud közreműködésével valósult meg. A mesterséges intelligencia bevonásának köszönhetően közös munkájuk a feldolgozásban és adatbázis-építésben is igen előremutató eredményt hozott. Magyar területen hasonló az MTI Fotóarchívuma, amit jelenleg az MTVA gondoz. Itt kétféleképpen valósul meg a digitalizált anyag metaadatolása: az archívum munkatársai által végzett címkézés mellett itt is alkalmaznak algoritmusokat, az arcfelismerés alapján azonosított fényképek feldolgozásában hazai viszonylatban progresszív kísérleteket folytatnak.Említésre méltók továbbá a nagyobb múzeumok (Néprajzi, Magyar Nemzeti, Magyar Fotográfiai ~) digitalizálási stratégiái és a támogatásukra létrehozott Közgyűjteményi Digitalizálási Stratégia (KDS) is. A levéltárak, könyvtárak vagy akár az egykori állami tervezővállalatok anyagait őrző Lechner Tudásközpont is folyamatosan dolgozza fel és digitalizálják a gyűjteményében található fotóanyagot, különböző prioritások és lehetőségek (támogatások) mentén.Szintén KDS-finanszírozás keretében keretében adódott lehetőség a Budapest Főváros Levéltárába bekerült Főfotó Vállalat egykori riporteri osztálya által készített anyag tömeges digitalizálására. Az anyaghoz kapcsolódó nyilvántartófüzetek mindössze a képek feléhez adott valamennyi támpontot, (amelyekkel később a mesterséges intelligencia által össze is lettek fűzve), azonban ennél alaposabb, darabszintű feldolgozás, leírás és adatbázis nem készült a képek közzététele előtt. Ez a körülmény és a mass digitisation (válogatás nélküli teljes anyag tömeges digitalizálása) előzmény nélkülinek mondható a magyar közgyűjteményi közegben, számos kérdést vetett fel és fontos tanulságokkal szolgált mind az őrző gyűjtemény, mind a digitalizálást és közzétételt végző Arcanum Kft., mind pedig a crowdsourcingon keresztül az azonosításba, adatolásba is bekapcsolódó hétköznapi felhasználók számára.

Published: October 2022

The state must maintain the security of its territory. Regional conduciveness has a significant influence on improving the welfare of its people. A region, both central and regional, cannot be separated from conflict and social security. Kesbangpol is an institution tasked with maintaining conduciveness and early awareness of vulnerabilities in national unity, politics, community, social and cultural protection. In carrying out this task, Kesbangpol collects data from the field and then processes it and reports it to the government for review in maintaining regional conduciveness. The data collection process to the reporting process is still inefficient. Therefore, an information system is needed to collect, process data, and report information. An important function in the use of this information system is also expected to be able to map the current conflict so that the system can provide alternative solutions in handling these conflicts quickly and efficiently. Conflict maps are expected to visually describe conflict patterns from the data that has been obtained to facilitate and speed up the implementation of follow-up to the problems that are happening. In addition, with the application of artificial intelligence or a decision support system to the system, it is expected to be able to analyze the data so that it can take into account the warranties that will occur in the area and preventive measures can be taken so that conflicts do not happen.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a connective tissue disorder causing aortic aneurysm formation. Currently, only prophylactic aortic surgery and blood pressure-lowering drugs are available to reduce the risk of aortic rupture. Upon whole genome sequencing of a Marfan family, we identified a complement gene C1R variant (p.Ser152Leu), which is associated with severe aortic patients. Therefore, we assessed the role of complement activation in MFS aortic tissue. Expression of various complement genes and proteins was detected in human and murine MFS aneurysm tissue, which prompted us to study complement inhibition in MFS mice. Treatment of the Fbn1C1041G/+ MFS mice with human plasma-derived C1-esterase inhibitor Cetor® resulted in reduced complement deposition, decreased macrophage influx in the aorta, and lower circulating TNFα levels. However, in line with previous anti-inflammatory treatments, complement inhibition did not change the aortic dilatation rate in this MFS mouse model. Thus, while complement factors/component 3 activation were detected in human/murine MFS aorta, Cetor® had no effect on aortic dilatation in MFS mice, indicating that complement inhibition is not a suitable treatment strategy in MFS.
ПОВОЄННЕ ТАРГЕТУВАННЯ ІНФЛЯЦІЇ: КЛЮЧОВІ ВИКЛИКИ
Authors: КОЗЮК Віктор
Published: October 2022

На період воєнного стану НБУ призупинив таргетування інфляції, але анонсував повернення до нього в найближчий час з усіх можливих моментів. Повоєнна нормалізація монетарної політики в Україні є історично безпрецедентною, оскільки більшість відомих випадків стосується перезапуску грошового обігу і налагодження банківської діяльності, створення центробанку як інституції, що покликана елімінувати макроекономічні передумови внутрішньокраїнних конфліктів. Водночас воєнні конфлікти характеризуються емісійним фінансуванням бюджету, сплеском інфляції і посиленням доларизації, а сеньйораж може бути оптимальною формою компенсації раптової втрати податкових надходжень виключно в обмежених обсягах.
Відновлення інфляційного таргетування в Україні наражатиметься на ряд загальних макроекономічних викликів у вигляді: прискорення інфляції, затримки коригування компонентів небазової інфляції, невизначеності щодо обсягів емісійного фінансування дефіциту після припинення воєнного стану; деградації монетарної трансмісії; погіршення інфляційних очікувань та імовірного посилення ефектів перенесення. Однак дані виклики, радше, впливатимуть на таймінг повернення до таргетування інфляції. З технічної точки зору цей процес наражатиметься на проблеми, пов’язані: із специфікацією інфляційної цілі (новий «похилий» коридор, актуалізація старої цілі в різних формах); імовірним оптимальним зниженням її рівня через євроінтеграцію; погіршенням критеріальних значень ВВП-розриву і рівня нейтральної ставки при оцінюванні стану монетарної політики; поновленням процесу нагромадження валютних резервів з відповідним продовженням тенденції до підтримки структурного профіциту ліквідності. Незалежність НБУ відіграватиме ключову роль для нейтралізації проблеми довіри в умовах потенційної альтернативності між швидкістю стабілізації інфляції і акселерацією темпів економічного відновлення.
ЕКОСИСТЕМНІ ПЛАТЕЖІ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ЕКОСИСТЕМНОГО ПІДХОДУ В УПРАВЛІННІ ПРИРОДОКОРИСТУВАННЯМ
Authors: ХВЕСИК Михайло , ІЛЬЇНА Марія
Published: October 2022

Зростання екологічних загроз і виснаження природних ресурсів мотивують до перегляду наукових концепцій взаємодії суспільства з природою. Одночасно в економіку природокористування поступово впроваджується екосистемний підхід, теоретико-методологічні засади якого в Україні ще належним чином не сформовано. З огляду на це, обґрунтовано особливості трансформації сучасного механізму природокористування шляхом упровадження екосистемного підходу з використанням основного його економічного інструменту – екосистемних платежів.
Екосистемний підхід до природокористування – напрям в управлінні, який забезпечує врахування при плануванні й здійсненні будь-яких заходів природокористування складних біологічних відносин усередині екосистеми, природні ресурси якої експлуатуються; усвідомлення цінності цих відносин завдяки їх спроможності позитивно впливати на стан, продуктивність екосистеми і виконання нею важливих екологічних функцій. Ієрархічну структуру процесу впровадження екосистемного підходу в практику управління природокористуванням відображають керівні принципи Конвенції про біологічне різноманіття, які з науково-практичної точки зору доцільно розділяти на організаційно-економічні та еколого-економічні.
Екосистемні платежі – це платежі за використання, невикористання ресурсів або послуг екосистеми, відшкодування її забруднення чи деградації; усі платежі, що здійснюються в межах екосистемного підходу і мають на меті захист, збереження екосистем, раціональне використання їх ресурсів та підвищення ефективності функцій. Вони включають обов’язкові платежі за використання ресурсів екосистем, їх забруднення, виснаження або деградацію; компенсаційні платежі, які держава сплачує громадянам за використання їх екосистем або фермерам за невикористання ними екосистем чи використання на умовах упровадження нових технологій; платежі за екосистемні послуги; еквівалентні платежі. Критеріями визначення типу платежів є їх добровільність; належність бюджету, за рахунок якого вони сплачуються; переважання екосистемної цінності над ринковими інтересами; сутність платежу; можливість регулювання за допомогою цивільних договорів, відтермінування платежу і зміни його розміру; залежність платежу від результатів господарської діяльності; обопільність вигоди.
[Traducción al español] Comprensión de las dimensiones de la autenticidad de la marca de los deportistas
Authors: Hasaan Ali , Fişne Mücahit
Published: October 2022

Como los deportistas son considerados una marca, gestionarla es un desafío para el mercado. La autenticidad de la marca es una herramienta que se puede utilizar para garantizar que esta se mantenga durante un período de tiempo más largo. Para comprender el concepto de autenticidad de la marca del deportista, se realizó una revisión sistemática de las publicaciones en varias bases de datos electrónicas. A partir de estudios anteriores que analizaron los atributos de autenticidad de marca para algunas de ellas, se identificaron un total de 76 atributos. Después de fusionar los interrelacionados, el número final de atributos únicos fue 23. Estos se dividieron en tres grandes temas: actividades en la cancha, actividades fuera de la cancha y actividades de marketing de un deportista. El estudio encuentra la complejidad relacionada con la autenticidad de la marca en que esta es un proceso multidimensional que perdura por períodos más largos de la carrera del atleta. El estudio actual también destaca las complicaciones al establecer la autenticidad de la marca del atleta y que ocurren debido a la naturaleza de esta.
Psychedelic-supportive psychotherapy: A psychotherapeutic model for, before and beyond the medicine experience
Authors: Wolfson Elizabeth
Published: October 2022

A renaissance is underway as research studies are substantiating psychotherapeutic and physiological benefits of psychedelic medicines, along with advancements towards legalization, expansion of professional training programs and a renewed cultural recognition of the healing qualities of the medicines. Pending legislation, a cadre of trained psychotherapists are poised to apply their expertise for those who might benefit however, they are currently largely blocked from doing so. There are also ranks of competent psychedelically informed psychotherapists who might provide support to clients engaging with the medicines but are lacking guidelines to do so.

‘Psychedelic-Supportive Psychotherapy’ is a proposed model which might be immediately implemented by qualified practitioners for working with clients adjacent to but not during a medicine experience without compromising ethical or legal risk. This model aimed at psychotherapists who are increasingly challenged to help clients already engaging with or considering psychedelics, draws from the current field of knowledge to respond to a moral imperative for practitioners to act in the service of client's best interests and expand access for diverse communities. It balances psychedelic harm reduction perspectives with support for the emotional, psychological, and spiritual gains to be had when clients use psychedelics outside of therapy and can process the experience within their therapy. The model of psychedelic-supportive psychotherapy,’ is transtheoretical, its core premise being centrality of the therapeutic relationship as a change agent even as the therapist is not physically present in the client's medicine journey. Here a foundational structure is presented along with criteria, parameters, and recommendations for practitioners in its application.

Preservation of the Biodazonity of Pasture Agrocenoses of the Dry Steppes of the Lower Volga Region
Authors:   Federal Scientific Center of Agroecology, Complex Melioration and Protective Afforestation of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Trubakova Karine
Published: October 2022

Nowadays, more than 85% of pastures are depleted, they have low productivity and poor biodiversity. Therefore, the priority is the issue of stabilizing the productivity of pasture agrocenoses, increasing their longevity and species diversity. The purpose of the research is to develop effective methods for stabilizing and increasing the productivity of agrocenoses in natural conditions and on artificially created lysimeters of the hydrological complex of the Federal Scientific Center of Agroecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Reducing the load of small and large cattle on the pasture leads to the stabilization of the process of restoration of the vegetation cover of natural agrocenoses, but it is necessary to study all the mechanisms of soil degradation and develop a balanced and adapted range of pasture ecosystems. As a result of the research, a promising composition of polycomponent agrocenoses was selected, which is represented by herbs of the Stavropol selection, most of them are represented by the Poaceae family, in combination with Kochia prostrata (L.) Schrad., Artemisia arenaria D.C., and Eurotia ceratoides L. on lysimeters with a chernozem soil substrate, there are the best conditions for the growth and development of agrocenoses. The average productivity of green mass in terms of hay was 2.5 t/ha during the growing season. Over 70% of the phytomass is formed by grasses. On the light-chestnut sandy loam substrate on the pastures “spring – summer” and “summer – autumn” the lowest productivity of phytomass was noted – 2.2 t/ha. The results obtained will be used in the further study of the dynamics of soil degradation and the development of effective phytomeliorative measures leading to the conservation of the biodiversity of pasture agocenoses and their restoration in a changing climate.

The territory of the Kumo-Manych depression is located in the fault zone of the tectonic plate and is a characteristic floodplain structure with a large number of swamps, lakes and channels. This territory is characterized by a high anthropogenic load associated with the intensive use of land for agricultural production and, as a consequence, with the manifestations of degradation processes. The relevance of the analysis of the relief of the territory is due to the influence of geomorphological characteristics on the magnitude and dynamics of erosion degradation of land. The methodological basis of the research is the catchment approach, which provides the structuring of landscape structures. The research methodology is based on the use of geoinformation systems for the development of analytical maps based on digital terrain models and geostatistical analysis of the spatial distribution of its structure. The results of the research are presented by analytical maps that allow us to determine the characteristics of the terrain of the terrain with their proximity to a certain location. These results make it possible to assess the erosion hazard of such sites and to develop measures in advance to prevent their degradation. Thus, geoinformation analysis of the relief of the Kumo-Manych depression allowed us to establish that about 47 % of the area of the research site is located in the height range from 20 to 80 m. The steepness of the slopes is insignificant, 52.7 % of the territory has a steepness of less than 1°. Another 38.2 % of the slopes have a steepness of less than 2°. Uncultivated slopes with a steepness of more than 8° occupy less than 1 % of the landfill area.

Published: October 2022

ABSTRACT Objective To report the case of a teenager (12 years old) diagnosed with a brain tumor in the right frontal-parietal region emphasizing the main characteristics observed in neuropsychological examinations. Methods In the pre-surgical evaluation, the patient presented behavioral alterations, including deficits in verbal comprehension, perceptual organization, working memory, processing speed, and slight alterations regarding constructive praxis. Results A reevaluation after two years surgery revealed significant improvement in verbal and perceptual comprehension and constructive praxis while remaining a slight change in processing speed. These results suggest that the tumor’s surgical resection produced significant improvements in the patient’s neurocognitive context, especially in executive functions. This study also indicates that Neuropsychological evaluation are useful for pre- and post- surgical evaluation of cognitive functioning and its evolution. Conclusion Brain tumor causes cognitive and behavioral changes and its resection can result in improvements in the patient’s quality of life.

ABSTRACT Objective To investigate the clinical epidemiological characteristics of a large data set of visits to outpatient children mental health services in Brazil, as well as to identify relevant relationships between age, sex and three common mental disorders in childhood: pervasive developmental disorders, ADHD, and mild depressive disorders. Methods We extracted data from the Ambulatorial Information System (SIA) part of a public repository, Datasus, regarding child outpatient mental health services in Brazil, from 2008 to 2012. We performed an analysis of the number of visits per one hundred thousand inhabitants and further analyses with logistic regressions for ADHD (F90.0), Pervasive Developmental Disorders (F84.0-F84.9), and Mild Depressive Episode (F32.0) as outcomes, controlling for age, year of the visit, number of new CAPSI stratified by region. Results Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) was the most common condition identified across the country. The analyses by region showed a high number of visits due to mental retardation in the Northeast and depressive episodes in the South. Regressions showed that older children are less likely to visit outpatient services with a diagnosis of ADHD (F90.0). Conclusions Our analysis shows the conditions which cause the most burden to the child psychiatry outpatient centers in Brazil and relevant differences between regions. This information has immediate use for the training of staff and allocation of resources in each region.

Abstract Stinking passion flower (Passiflora foetida L.) is an herbaceous vine used due its medicinal properties. It could be an option to be used as a rootstock for sour passion fruit (P. edulis). This interest was especially motivated by its resistance to Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. passifloraeand F. solani, two soilborne pathogens that severely limit the sour passion fruit cultivation in Brazil. Phytonematodes are other important soil pathogens to most crops, including Passiflora species, and they often interact synergistically with pathogenic Fusarium spp. strains. However, the host status of stinking passion flower to phytonematodes was not assessed yet. Therefore, three pot experiments were carried out in order to assess the reproduction of Rotylenchulus reniformis, Meloidogyne javanica and on Pratylenchus brachyurusstinking passion flower and sour passion fruit. Both P. foetida and P. edulis were susceptible to R. reniformis, but immune (or highly resistant) to both M. javanica and P. brachyurus. Based on previous and the present work, R. reniformis stands out and could be pointed as the most important species to species of Passiflora.

Abstract The quantification of nutrients accumulated and exported by banana bunches provides information on the crop nutritional requirements. Thus, the aim of this work was to determine the nutritional demand of 'Grande Naine' and 'Prata Comum' banana bunches in the region of Vale do Ribeira, state of São Paulo. Bunch sampling was carried out in six harvest seasons, summer, and winter. The results of dry matter production and nutrient accumulation in bunches were submitted to analysis of variance. Relative growth rates (TCR), organogenic net accumulation (TALON), export and order of nutrient accumulation in bunches were estimated. K and N were the nutrients most accumulated and exported by both cultivars. In har-vest period 5 (commercial harvest), more dry matter was produced in the summer and more nutrients were accumulated in the winter. The highest TCR values were observed between periods 2 and 3 in the summer and between 0 and 1 in the winter, but it did not always follow TALON. The results obtained are important to adapt the nutritional management of these cultivars to the study region, especially in relation to the growing season, due to the longer permanence of the bunch on the plant in the winter and greater demand for nutrients until commercial harvest.

Published: October 2022

Resumo A hipertensão intracraniana idiopática é caracterizada por aumento da pressão intracraniana, cefaleia e manifestações visuais. Apresenta fisiopatologia incerta, porém, alguns mecanismos já foram propostos, como o aumento do volume sanguíneo cerebral, o excesso de líquor por aumento da produção ou a redução da reabsorção, e mecanismos inflamatórios como fator causal ou mesmo determinando limitação na circulação do líquor. Predomina em mulheres obesas em idade reprodutiva. Os sintomas e sinais mais comuns são cefaleia diária, zumbido síncrono ao pulso, obscurecimentos visuais transitórios e papiledema com perda visual. Os principais achados em neuroimagem são: sela turca vazia, achatamento posterior do globo ocular/esclera, estenose do seio transverso bilateral ou do seio dominante, distensão do espaço liquórico perióptico com ou sem tortuosidade do nervo óptico e protrusão intraocular da cabeça do nervo óptico. A principal complicação da hipertensão intracraniana idiopática é a perda visual. Nesse contexto, o papel da neuroimagem no diagnóstico é fundamental, pois a doença pode ser revertida se devidamente reconhecida e precocemente tratada.

Abstract Idiopathic intracranial hypertension is characterized by increased intracranial pressure, headache, and visual perturbations. Although the pathophysiology of idiopathic intracranial hypertension is obscure, several mechanisms have been proposed, such as increased cerebral blood volume, excessive cerebrospinal fluid volume (due to high production or impaired resorption), and inflammatory mechanisms as a likely cause of or contributor to impaired cerebrospinal fluid circulation. It predominantly affects women of reproductive age who are overweight or obese. The most common symptoms are daily headache, synchronous pulsatile tinnitus, transient visual perturbations, and papilledema with visual loss. The main neuroimaging findings are a partially empty sella turcica; flattening of the posterior sclera; transverse sinus stenosis (bilateral or in the dominant sinus); a prominent perioptic subarachnoid space, with or without optic nerve tortuosity; and intraocular protrusion of the optic nerve head. The main complication of idiopathic intracranial hypertension is visual loss. Within this context, neuroimaging is a crucial diagnostic tool, because the pathology can be reversed if properly recognized and treated early.
A inflação brasileira e o “Plano Real”
Authors: SACHS JEFFREY , ZINI JR. ÁLVARO
Published: October 2022

RESUMO De acordo com a maioria dos padrões, a inflação brasileira tem sido a mais intratável da história mundial. O período de alta inflação brasileira é incomparável: a inflação excede 50% ao ano todos os anos desde 1979 e tem taxas de dois dígitos todos os anos desde 1957. Até a Argentina, a rival perene do Brasil pela distinção dúbia ou pela alta de longo prazo inflação, alcançou estabilização de preços desde abril de 1991. Houve inúmeras tentativas grandes e menores de estabilização brasileira, incluindo pelo menos cinco “Planos” importantes desde 1986. Cada um fracassou. O Brasil está atualmente no meio de outra grande tentativa de estabilização, o Plano Real. Este artigo avalia as dificuldades inerentes aos programas brasileiros de estabilização e as perspectivas para o Plano Real, incluindo suas motivações particulares e suas chances de sucesso.

Published: October 2022

Self-help groups (SHGs) for people living with HIV (PLHIV) are organizations created by the community to provide individuals with security, affection, improved self-esteem, and a sense of belonging. However, SHGs have also been used by the government to help implement HIV control policies. This study aimed to identify the characteristics associated with the use of SHGs by PLHIV and the routes and displacement patterns adopted by users. An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted based on data collected in six Central American countries during 2012. Using a list of SHGs, a random sampling was conducted in two stages. Firstly, the SHGs were selected. Then, the selected SHGs were visited and every third user who attended the SHG was surveyed. Logistic regression models were used to identify the characteristics associated with the use of SHGs and with attending the nearest SHGs. A spatial analysis was performed to identify the routes followed by users to reach the SHGs from their home communities. We found that the characteristics significantly associated with higher odds of SHG usage were country of residence and schooling level. The average and median distances traveled by users to attend SHGs were 20 and 5 kilometers, respectively. PLHIV do not use the SHGs closest to their locality, perhaps for fear of stigma and discrimination. We recommend that research on this topic use a mixed qualitative-quantitative methodology to better understand utilization decisions, user expectations, and the degree to which these are being met.
RESISTIR E ESPERANÇAR: OS DESAFIOS À GESTÃO UNIVERSITÁRIA EM TEMPOS SOMBRIOS
Authors: FARIA FILHO LUCIANO MENDES DE
Published: October 2022

RESUMO: O texto é uma saudação às colegas e aos colegas da Faculdade de Educação da Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais que, em tempo tão difíceis, aceitaram nos conduzir, assumindo a gestão da instituição nos quadriênios 2018-2022 e 2022-2026. Tarefa difícil, mas necessária e estruturante, a gestão universitária tem sido considerada por muitos como um enorme fardo ou, por outros, como uma carreira que os distancia da sala de aula e os aproxima do poder. Mas, há também aqueles e aquelas que assumem a gestão como um desafio democrático e solidário para que a universidade seja um espaço acadêmico e científico em que docentes, técnicos administrativos em Educação e discentes construam sentidos de vida, para a vida e para o país. Chama-se a atenção, também, para o fato de que, no momento atual, ao desafio democrático soma-se o do enfrentamento do negacionismo, do obscurantismo e do medo que, sob o atual governo, transformaram-se em políticas de Estado. Mas, como em outros momentos, as luzes da aurora, como nos lembrava Drummond, hão de aparecer e tingir nossas manhãs com as cores da vida e da alegria.

Abstract To evaluate the flexural strength (FS) and flexural modulus (FM) of a commercial 3Y-TZ0P ceramic after artificial aging and either without or with two application times of non-thermal plasma treatments (NTP). In addition, changes in crystalline phase transformation and surface nano-topography after NTP application, during different aging periods, were evaluated. Ninety 3Y-TZP bars (45x4x3 mm) were made for FS and FM testing, and assigned to nine groups (n=10): no NTP/no aging (Control); no NTP/4h aging; no NTP/30h aging; 10s NTP/no aging; 10s NTP/4h aging; 10s NTP/30h aging; 60s NTP/no aging; 60s NTP/4h aging and 60s NTP/30h aging. Artificial accelerated aging was simulated using an autoclave (134º C at 2 bar) for up to 30h. FS and FM were assessed using a universal testing machine and data analyzed using a ANOVA and Tukey test (α=0.05). The volume change in zirconia monoclinic phase (MPV) was evaluated using X-ray diffraction and surface nano-topography was assessed using atomic force microscopy (baseline until 30h-aging). NTP application did not influence the FS and FM of zirconia. Compared to the Control (no NTP/no aging), the FS of zirconia samples treated for 30 hours in autoclave (“no NTP/30h aging” group) increased. Artificial aging for 30 hours significantly increased the FM of zirconia, regardless of NTP application. MPV tended to increase following the increase in aging time, which might result in the surface irregularities observed at 30h-aging. NTP did not alter the zirconia properties tested, but 30h-aging can change the zirconia FS, FM and MPV.

Abstract This study evaluated the effect of surrounded shade and specimens` thickness on the color adjustment potential (CAP) of a single-shade composite. The composite Vittra APS Unique was surrounded (dual specimens) or not (simple specimens) by a control composite (shade A1, A2, or A3). Simple specimens of the control composite were also confectioned. Opacity and whiteness index for dentistry (WID) were calculated for simple specimens. Color differences between the simple (ΔE*SIMPLE)/ dual specimens (ΔE*DUAL) and the controls were calculated. CAP was calculated based on the ratio between ΔE* SIMPLE and ΔE* DUAL. The tested composite presented lower opacity (53 to 62% vs. 80 to 93%) and higher WID (≈ 42 vs. 18 to 32) than controls. Irrespective of the specimens’ thickness (1.0/ 1.5 mm), the lowest values of ΔE* SIMPLE (11.1/ 10.8) and ΔE*DUAL (7.2/ 6.1) were observed using the surrounding shade A1. The shade A3 yielded higher ΔE*SIMPLE (16.4/ 17.1) and ΔE* DUAL (11.3/ 12.3) than the A2 (ΔE*SIMPLE = 13.4/ 14.6; and ΔE* DUAL = 9.7/ 10.3). The specimen`s thickness significantly affected the CAP (0.35 and 0.44 for 1.0 and 1.5 mm, respectively) only for shade A1, which had the highest CAP values. The shade A3 resulted in higher CAP values (0.31) than A2 (0.27) when 1.0-mm thick specimens were used, but similar values were observed for 1.5 thick specimens (≈ 0.29). In conclusion, both surrounding shade and specimen thickness can affect the CAP of a single-shade resin composite.
