Analysis of historical botanical reports of species of Fabaceae in Historia Naturalis Brasiliae (1648)
Authors: Silva Ruana Carolina Cabral da , Bezerra José Jailson Lima , Medeiros Maria Franco Trindade
Published: May 2022

Abstract Historia Naturalis Brasiliae, a reference work for Brazilian natural sciences, contains information on species observed by 17th century naturalists. Among the reports, the botanical family Fabaceae deserves to be highlighted among the taxa that make up the Brazilian flora due to its richness of species and economic interest. In this sense, the objective of the present study was to retrieve information regarding Fabaceae cited in Historia Naturalis Brasiliae by naturalists Piso & Marggraf (1648), with the aim of identifying potential resources of Brazilian flora in conjunction with local knowledge about potential species today and how historical changes have influenced the use of these plant resources. Documentary data were analyzed in the original source and in Pickel’s 2008 review work (Flora do Nordeste do Brasil). The information was organized in a database and analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The analysis recovered 49 species belonging to the botanical family Fabaceae in the work. Of this total, 33 species and two genera had their use mentioned in the work, the reports of which were subdivided into four categories, with the highest percentage being for the category of medicinal use (69.23%). Of the plants reported for medicinal use, 18 species and one genus had no records in contemporary works. The analyses presented here contribute to expanding the knowledge of Fabaceae, the recovery of knowledge of plants from past centuries, and the discussion of the influence of factors that cause historical changes in use patterns, thus enriching studies in the field of botany, particularly historical ethnobotany.

Authors: Tavares Izabella de Góes Anderson Maciel , Peres Maria Angélica de Almeida , Silva Rafael Celestino da
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Objective to describe the adverse events found in psychiatric hospitalization, analyzing them in the light of the human error theory. Method a qualitative research study, carried out in 2018 in a psychiatric hospital. The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 health professionals from the multidisciplinary team. Analysis was of the lexical type using the Alceste software. Results adverse drug events were evidenced due to administration errors or adverse drug reactions, which produce harms such as impregnation and extrapyramidal reactions associated with the risks for falls and bronchoaspiration due to drowsiness and/or sedation. Other harms are related to the patient's aggressiveness, which produce bodily self-harm or harms to another person, such as during a suicide attempt or use of violence as an escape or defense behavior. Conclusion and implications for the practice some adverse events are more frequent in psychiatric hospitalization settings; such events need to be known by the mental health team, as they require mitigation actions through the strengthening of patient safety systems. The data subsidize actions for strengthening safety systems in psychiatric hospitalization settings and contribute to reflecting on the concept of patient safety in Psychiatry.

RESUMO Objetivo descrever os eventos adversos presentes na internação psiquiátrica, analisando-os à luz da teoria do erro humano. Método pesquisa qualitativa, realizada em 2018 em um hospital psiquiátrico. Os dados foram coletados por entrevistas semiestruturadas com 15 profissionais de saúde da equipe multidisciplinar. A análise foi lexical por meio do software Alceste. Resultados evidenciaram-se eventos adversos medicamentosos por erros de administração ou por reações adversas a medicamentos, que produzem danos como impregnação, reações extrapiramidais associadas aos riscos de queda e broncoaspiração pela sonolência e/ou sedação. Outros danos relacionam-se à agressividade do paciente, que produz lesões corporais a si ou a outro, como durante uma tentativa de suicídio ou uso de violência como comportamento de fuga ou defesa. Considerações finais e implicações para a prática existem eventos adversos mais comuns nos ambientes de internação psiquiátrica que precisam ser de conhecimento da equipe de saúde mental porque demandam ações de mitigação por meio do fortalecimento dos sistemas de segurança do paciente. Os dados subsidiam ações para o fortalecimento dos sistemas de segurança nos ambientes de internação psiquiátrica e contribuem à reflexão do conceito de segurança do paciente na psiquiatria.

No primeiro grupo, houve correlação entre a fragilidade e o maior número de medicamentos, pior desempenho cognitivo, dependência em Atividades Básicas e Instrumentais de Vida Diária. Nos mais longevos, a fragilidade correlacionou-se ao maior número de morbidades, pior desempenho cognitivo e dependência em Atividades Básicas e Instrumentais de Vida Diária. Conclusão e implicações para a prática: as correlações encontradas permitem o estabelecimento de medidas para aperfeiçoar o planejamento de ações voltadas à assistência ambulatorial, possibilitando organizar prioridades de prevenção e intervenção.
“Por onde deve começar-se a história do Brasil?”: eurocentrismo, historiografia e o Antropoceno
Authors: Santos Pedro Afonso Cristovão dos , Pereira Mateus Henrique de Faria , Nicodemo Thiago Lima
Published: May 2022

RESUMO O presente artigo parte de debate ocorrido na segunda metade do século XIX na historiografia brasileira a respeito de qual deveria ser o ponto de partida de uma narrativa da história do Brasil: a Europa (por meio do contexto da expansão europeia e das Grandes Navegações) ou a América (descrevendo-se, primeiramente, o território e as populações indígenas). Este debate envolvia a questão de definir os “antecedentes” da história do Brasil, assumindo para a história uma lógica narrativa dotada de implicações. O processo histórico assim escolhido definia um “centro” para a história do Brasil, que poderia ser “interno” (território e populações indígenas) ou “externo” (Europa, ou processo de expansão do capitalismo comercial). Aqui, buscamos analisar as implicações dessa tríade teórica antecedentes-processo-centro na historiografia de formação brasileira à luz, por fim, de reavaliações possíveis do lugar e papel das populações indígenas e da natureza na história.
Entre ruas e casas: mulheres, racialização e redes de vizinhança na cidade de São Paulo, 1776
Authors: Santos Amália Cristovão dos
Published: May 2022

RESUMO O presente artigo constrói uma articulação entre a análise das informações extraídas da Lista Geral de População de 1776 e sua territorialização, baseada no desenho da Planta da Cidade de São Paulo, de 1810. As fontes censitárias permitem trazer à luz populações frequentemente obliteradas pelas documentações oficiais, tais como livres pobres, escravizados e mulheres. Além da visada geral sobre os habitantes da cidade no período, a espacialização dos dados do arrolamento em questão possibilita examinar a conformação de grupos sociais e a criação de redes de vizinhança, elucidando assim estratégias sociais e modos de vida dos contingentes subalternizados. O estudo ora apresentado indica como a proximidade de moradia e concentração territorial era central para a sobrevivência de mulheres chefes de domicílio e população negra e “parda” na São Paulo setecentista.
ELECTROMOVILIDAD Y RETÓRICA POLÍTICA: RECURSOS NATURALES, NACIONALISMO TECNOLÓGICO Y MORAL VERDE EN BOLIVIA
Authors: Jerez Francisco Adolfo García
Published: May 2022

Resumo A electromobilidade toma forma em um mercado de grande relevância em escala global, no qual a Bolívia desempenha papel muito importante por ter uma das principais reservas de lítio. Considerando ambos os aspectos, o objetivo deste artigo é saber como o mercado de carros eléctricos está se moldando de forma discursiva em território boliviano. Minha hipótese aponta para a existência de três narrativas assim sintetizadas: na presença recorrente de uma ideia de natureza sui generis, na emergência nos últimos lustros de um nacionalismo tecnológico e na exortação estratégica de uma moralidade verde como uma autoatribuição política. Em termos de metodologia, realizei trabalho de campo na Bolívia de janeiro a março de 2020, combinando entrevistas, observação direta e consulta em jornais nacionais.
INVEJA E CORPO FECHADO NO MARACATU DE BAQUE SOLTO PERNAMBUCANO
Authors: Baraldi Filippo Bonini
Published: May 2022

Resumo Os membros dos grupos de maracatu de baque solto da Zona da Mata norte pernambucana sentem-se particularmente expostos na época do carnaval a vários tipos de doenças causadas pelo “olho grande” dos invejosos. Daí a necessidade de práticas defensivas nos planos simbólico e estético. Para brincar o carnaval sem se arriscar é necessário fechar o próprio corpo, o que, nesse contexto significa torná-lo protegido, poderoso, saudável, invencível, não vulnerável ou susceptível aos ataques das entidades negativas despertadas pelo olho grande de rivais e inimigos. Nesse artigo argumento que a vivência emocional dos brincantes de maracatu é profundamente ligada a essa maneira de conceber o corpo durante o carnaval. Um corpo diferente do ordinário, suscetível, permeável a presenças e ataques de entidades invisíveis.
TEORIA PÓS-COLONIAL E PENSAMENTO BRASILEIRO NA OBRA DE GUERREIRO RAMOS: O PENSAMENTO POLÍTICO (1955-1958)
Authors: Lynch Christian Edward Cyril , Marreca Pedro Paiva
Published: May 2022

Resumo O artigo analisa os textos produzidos por Guerreiro Ramos entre 1955 e 1958; período no qual ele se volta para o estudo do pensamento político brasileiro. Tratou-se de uma segunda etapa do projeto de pesquisa do autor, voltado para a elaboração de uma ciência social de caráter pós-colonial aplicada ao Brasil. Esse projeto começara no Ibesp, quando ele formulara estudos críticos sobre o pensamento social brasileiro. Uma vez vinculado ao Iseb, ele redirecionou sua pesquisa para a história do pensamento político brasileiro, no intuito de completar sua teoria da sociedade brasileira com uma ideologia do desenvolvimento nacional. A adoção de um método histórico-sistemático para analisar os textos permitiu apreender os elementos de continuidade entre as duas fases da pesquisa. Essa perspectiva diacrônica de análise contempla a dimensão sistemática da obra do autor não perceptível em análises focalizadas unicamente na reconstituição lógica de sua teoria.
PÓS-COLONIALISMO E DECOLONIALIDADES: ETNICIDADE, REPRODUÇÃO, GÊNERO E SEXUALIDADE - VOZES DA ÁFRICA - NOTAS A PARTIR DE UM CONHECIMENTO EM CURSO

Resumo Este artigo decola da experiência de um curso de pós-graduação (o Curso), orientado por perspectiva crítica à ‘colonialidade do saber’ e que sublinha a importância de espaço para vozes não eurocêntricas nas universidades e entrelace de saberes, como os academicamente legitimados e aqueles que encarnam vivencias comunitárias e heranças culturais de povos originais e escravizados. Considerando autores, em especial feministas, latino-americanos e africanos, sobre pós-colonialismo e decolonialidade, no Curso se analisam romances de autoras africanas e se o desenha como uma experiência crítica à colonialidade do saber; identidades culturais negadas e se estimula pesquisar maternidade além do privado, como construto de reprodução social. Demonstra-se também a potencialidade do entrelace entre sociologia e literatura.
FAMILY BETRAYALS: THE TEXTURES OF KINSHIP
Authors: Pierobon Camila
Published: May 2022

Abstract In dialogue with Veena Das’s works on kinship, family betrayals and death, in this text I describe the histories of family betrayals of Leonor, highlighting the inscription of these betrayals in everyday life and in the textures of her relationships to kin and to me. I show how the pain of the death of a son, the conflicts between siblings, as well as the forms of remaking herself by reinhabiting and renarrating the events, are embedded in the relationships of the present. The text presents the family betrayals, the conflict between siblings and the death of a son not as spectacular events but as threads in the weave of life. I show how the work of time is important to the reconstruction of life and also to the sharing of experiences of pain.
“POR QUE HOMOSSEXUAIS SÓ EXISTEM NA CIDADE?” A RECENTE “INSTITUCIONALIZAÇÃO” DA “HOMOSSEXUALIDADE” NO SUL DE MOÇAMBIQUE
Authors: Miguel Francisco
Published: May 2022

Resumo A partir de pesquisa etnográfica realizada nos últimos anos no sul de Moçambique, o presente artigo responde antropologicamente à pergunta colocada por um telespectador moçambicano sobre o porquê da inexistência de sujeitos homossexuais em contextos rurais locais. O argumento central aqui apresentado é de que ainda que o desejo (homo)erótico preceda e prescinda da linguagem, a constituição de um sujeito propriamente homossexual não. Logo, as cidades oferecerão não apenas um ambiente propício para a vivência de experiências eróticas e identitárias desse sujeito, mas também a episteme necessária para que ele se constitua como tal.

Published: May 2022

ABSTRACT Objective: To summarize current trends in the pathogenesis and management of disc degeneration and suggest areas where more research would be of benefit. Methods: The available literature relevant to Lumbar disc degeneration (LDD) was reviewed. PubMed, MEDLINE, OVID, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Google Scholar databases were used to review the literature. Institutional Review Board approval was not applicable for this study. Results: This article summarizes trends in the pathogenesis and factors associated with disc degeneration. Conclusions: The genetic contribution to lumbar disc degeneration is a newer concept, still being researched in different populations around the world. Investigators have demonstrated a familial predisposition in the etiology of lumbar disc degeneration. The effect sizes of most genetic variants are small and, thus, individual gene-environment studies must have very large sample sizes to provide compelling evidence of any interaction. Level of evidence; Narrative review of available literature.

Furthermore, greenhouse gas emissions were fully offset by a new mixed woodland of 8000 trees and ongoing routine maintenance has been redesigned to achieve net-zero emissions. This paper describes the planning, procurement and delivery of the refurbishment, including its focus on quality, safety, sustainability, minimisation of disruption, ease of future maintenance and promotion of civil engineering.
Develop correlations between soil parameters: Jandola Pakistan landslide as case study
Authors: Khan Muhammad Israr , Wang Shuhong
Published: May 2022

The focus of this research is on comparing the slope factor of safety determined from computer modelling of basic slopes using frequently used limit equilibrium methods with that using less typically used finite-element methods. Several various slope geometry and material property combinations are used in the comparison study. The main objective of this research is to develop useful correlations for slope stability analysis projects. Useful correlations are developed under seismic and non-seismic conditions. Factor of safety is correlated with shear strength and shear stresses. It is found that the seismic and non-seismic factor of safety values are correlated at 99.6% applicability. Shear strength and shear stress are correlated with the non-seismic factor of safety at 99.5% applicability. Similarly, shear strength and shear stress are correlated with the seismic factor of safety at 100% applicability value. The non-seismic slope factor of safety in the case of limit equilibrium analysis is correlated with the non-seismic factor of safety in the case of finite-element analysis at 83.8% applicability. The Jandola landslide is considered as a case study to cross-check the correctness of the developed correlations. These correlations can be used in slope stability analysis projects.
Investigation into the quasi-plasticity damage model for concrete with micropores based on peridynamics
Authors: Qiu Wen-Liang , Peng Rong-Xin
Published: May 2022

The non-linear performance of concrete is determined by the heterogeneous micro-structure of concrete. The existing methods mainly focus on numerical simulation of concrete at meso-scale. In view of this, the micro-calculation model based on bond-based peridynamics (BBPD) was established by the MATLAB-ABAQUS co-simulation method. In this study, based on the concrete plastic damage model in ABAQUS, combined with the quasi-brittle damage model and the basic characteristics of BBPD, a quasi-plasticity damage model was proposed which is suitable for the simulation of concrete. The calculation results show that the micro-model based on BBPD can well reflect the mechanical properties of concrete, and the crack propagation path is affected by the heterogeneity of concrete. At the same time, the quasi-plasticity damage model was established in which the mechanical behaviour of concrete in compression/tension can be considered simultaneously. For the distribution of pores, with the reduction of large capillary pores, the crack path inside the concrete is significantly simplified, and the distribution of cracks is significantly reduced. It can improve the mechanical behaviour of the material by optimising the pore structure and reducing the distribution of large pores.

Published: May 2022

La diversidad del lenguaje ha representado un verdadero reto al tratar de descifrarlo, entender sus códigos, signos, significantes y significados, es hoy, la representación clara de una contienda social. Es claro que las audiencias cada vez somos más exigentes en cuanto a direccionar a la comunicación hacia un sistema de respuestas y afirmaciones sociales y personales, pero, ¿Qué sucede con la comunicación en espacios comunitarios? ¿Se ha avanzado en estos espacios? O solo se cree que se lo ha hecho. Se ha hablado mucho sobre estos sectores apartados y sus modelos de comunicación, pero una introspección poco profunda, solo reconoce aspectos primarios que han buscado generalizar características, métodos, audiencias, dejando de lado una observación interior al fenómeno de estudio, pretendiendo resolver rápidamente un problema social latente y evidente que aún no ha sido determinado. Éste artículo propone una crítica a los procesos comunicativos, situación real de los pueblos y sectores minoritarios, que busca dar posibles respuestas a las preguntas planteadas, una indagación desde varia perspectivas que confluyen en maneras de comunicación

Effects of chemical disinfectants on surface hardness of heat -cured acrylic resins. In vitro study
Authors:   Department of Dental Technology, College of Health & Medical Technology, Middle Technical University, Baghdad, Iraq., Kati Firas Abd
Published: May 2022

Introduction: Acrylic resins (i.e., heat cured acrylic resins) are the most common materials used to manufacture removable dental prostheses involving maxillofacial prostheses such as obturators. Their mechanical and physical properties must be adequate for their use and durability. It is therefore vital to assess how their properties are affected by different disinfectants. Aims: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the effect of chemical disinfectants on surface hardness of the acrylic resins. Material and Methods: Forty specimens (65 mm in length, 10 mm in width and 2.5 mm thick) were manufactured from heat cured acrylic resins for hardness testing according to ISO 1567:1999. The study consisted of four main sets according to the disinfectants applied (control, 1% hypochlorite, 4 % chlorhexidine, and Efferdent®) and each set contained ten specimens. All specimens were placed in saline solution at 37°C and incubated for 60 days. Acrylic specimens were then tested by using a hardness tester three times and the average reading was recorded. All data were analyzed using SPSS version 16. The results were analyzed at a significant level (p≤0.05). The ANOVA (analysis of variance) test was used to assess whether there were any significant differences among all groups. The comparisons between means were obtained by using a Tukey test. Results: There was a slight decrease in the mean values of surface hardness after immersing in chemical disinfectants. The chlorhexidine-assigned specimens had the lowest value of mean surface hardness. On the other hand, the control group had the highest mean value. However, there were no significant differences regarding surface hardness among all groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: The use of chemical disinfectants slightly decreases the surface hardness of heat-cured acrylic resins.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of variation in ambient oxygen pressure on orthodontic tooth movement in guinea pigs. Material and Methods: Seventy-two guinea pigs randomly distributed into two groups (A and B) were evaluated in the study. All specimens were fitted with orthodontic appliances to distalize maxillary incisors. Group A was controlled under conditions of oxygen pressures at sea level (150 masl, 157 mm Hg) and Group B under conditions of oxygen pressures at altitude (3405 masl, 107 mm Hg). The clinical (distance between the distal-incisal angles of the maxillary incisors), biochemical (serum alkaline phosphatase), and histopathological characteristics (osteoblast and osteocyte count) were evaluated before placing the orthodontic devices and after 24 and 72 hours. Results: In the clinical evaluation, the distance between the distal-incisal angles of the maxillary incisors, on day one and three, was significantly higher in group B compared to group A (p=0.002 and p=0.001, respectively). In the biochemical evaluation, the level of serum alkaline phosphatase on the first and third days was significantly higher in group B compared to group A (p=0.001 and p=0.001, respectively). In the histopathological evaluation, the osteoblasts and osteocytes count on day one and three was significantly higher in group B compared to group A (p<0.05). Conclusion: Oxygen pressure at high altitude positively influenced orthodontic tooth movement in guinea pigs, improving its clinical, biochemical, and histopathological characteristics.

Introduction: Alterations in the oral cavity can affect people’s quality of life, hence it is important to determine how the individual perceives their own health. Objective: To determine the oral health-related quality of life in adults who received dental care at establishments managed by the Ministry of Public Health and Social Welfare of Paraguay, the School of Dentistry of Universidad Nacional de Asunción, and the “Chacarita” Community Center, in Paraguay, in the first quarter of 2017. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out. The Paraguayan version of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14Py) was used. Spearman's correlation, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney tests were used to relate the impact of oral health with demographic, labor, educational, and clinical variables. Results: 333 subjects participated in the study. The most affected domains were physical pain, psychological distress, and psychological disability. The correlation between OHIP-14Py and DMF-T was positive but poor (r=0.236; p=<0.001). The oral health-related quality of life was significantly lower in subjects with abnormal oral mucosa (p=0.020), presence of TMJ symptoms (p=0.026), need for prostheses (p<0.001), higher level of severity of DMF-T (p<0.001), use of upper (p=0.004) and lower (p<0.001) prostheses, and absence of functional dentition (p<0.001). Conclusion: Primary and secondary preventive measures should be promoted since oral health status can negatively influence people’s quality of life and may even cause total inability to carry out daily activities.
Pollen characterization of the bee flora from a Caatinga area of Northeast Brazil
Authors: Marques de Souza Dias Ilana , Magalhães e Silva Francisco Hilder , Lima e Lima Luciene Cristina , Dias Saba Marileide
Published: May 2022

Background: Plants and bees have coevolved throughout geological time, establishing a mutualistic relationship that results in feeding/resource obtention by bees and the reproductive success of angiosperms.
Questions and Hypotheses: What is the floristic composition of the vegetation visited by bees in the Caatinga? How are pollen grains from Caatinga bee plant species characterized? Do pollen grains of bee plant species present characters that could be associated with the pollination process?
Studied species: We studied the pollen grains of 45 bee plant species belonging to 41 genera and 23 angiosperm families. Among the studied species, 37 % are endemic to Brazil, and eight species are endemic to the Caatinga biome.
Study site and dates: Apiary within the Caatinga biome, in the State of Bahia, Brazil. Climate warm semiarid. Fieldwork was carried out between August 2016 and June 2017.
Methods: Plants in bloom and being visited by Apis mellifera were collected during biweekly field expeditions, herborized, identified, and deposited at the HUNEB herbarium. Pollen grains were acetolyzed, characterized, and microphotographed under light microscopy.
Results: Forty-five bee plants were collected and classified according to field observations and specialized literature. Pollen morphology was variable, and nine species had their pollen morphology described for the first time. The apertures of the studied pollen grains were mainly tricolporate (44 %), pantoporate (15 %), and inaperturate (13 %), and exine ornamentation was mainly (micro)reticulate (46 %) and (micro)echinate (33 %).
Conclusions: Our results suggest that bee plants present a set of palynological characters that may favor entomophily.

The Induction of Bone Formation by the recombinant human transforming growth Factor-β3 : From preclinical studies in Papio ursinus to translational research in Homo sapiens
Authors: Ferretti Carlo , Hoffman Jakobus , Ripamonti Ugo
Published: May 2022

Skeletal bone defects of the axial or the craniomaxillofacial skeletons still present formidable challenges to skeletal reconstructionists, tissue biologists and modern medicine. In systematic research experiments in the Chacma baboon Papio ursinus our laboratories have shown the previously unreported osteoinductive activity of the three mammalian transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) isoforms. This review discusses the induction of bone formation by the mammalian TGF-βs with particular reference to the substantial and rapid induction of bone by the recombinant hTGF-β3 from the laboratory benches, to pre-clinical studies in heterotopic and orthotopic mandibular sites of Papio ursinus to clinical translation in human patients. Design and MethodsA series of systematic research experiments in Papio ursinus using the hTGF-β3 together with earlier experiments using the -β1 and β2 isoforms are reviewed and re-analyzed molecularly nd morphologically to provide the basic research data for the reported clinical translation in human patients. Results The three mammalian hTGF-β isoforms and notably hTGF-β3 induce rapid and substantial induction of heterotopic bone in intramuscular sites of Papio ursinus. Relatively low doses of hTGF-β1or hTGF-β3 in binary application with hBMP-7 synergize to induce massive corticalized ossicles in the rectus abdominis muscle. In orthotopic mandibular sites, 125 and250 µg doses of hTGF-β3 induce bone formation across large mandibular defects in Papio ursinus with corticalized buccal and lingual plates by day 30, with modeling and maintenance of corticalized bone by 9 to 12 months after implantation of the 250 µg dose in 3 cm mandibular defects Papio ursinus. Discussion hTGF-β3 significantly up-regulates RUNX-2 and Osteocalcin expression on day 15 controlling the differentiation of progenitor stem cells into the osteoblastic lineage. The induction of bone by the hTGF-β3 is via the bone morphogenetic proteins pathway; hTGF-β3 controls theinduction of bone by regulating the expression of BMPs gene and gene products via Noggin expression, eliciting bone induction by up-regulating exogenous BMPs.
Factors Enabling and Constraining CPD compliance amongst South African Dental Technicians practising in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Authors: Seedat Naeem , Vahed Anisa , Muslim Tufayl
Published: May 2022

Health professions’ regulatory bodies are experiencing numerous challenges with compliance to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirements. The South African Dental Technicians Council (SADTC) stipulates that dental technicians be CPD compliant and accrue an annual minimum of 30 Continuing Educational Units (CEUs). The SADTC acknowledged that there is a lack of compliance with CPD by dental technicians. The study aimed to elicit dental technicians’ opinions on, and experiences of, continuing professional development. The study utilized a descriptive cross-sectional research design within a quantitative framework. A purposeful sampling technique was used to select and invite registered dental technicians (n=103) from KwaZulu-Natal (KZN).Dental technicians (n =103) in KZN were invited to participate in the study by completing an online questionnaire, which elicited their experiences with regards to meeting their CPD requirements. Dental technicians preferred formal, employer-funded CPD activities that are conducted during working hours as compared to online CPD activities. Dental technicians acknowledged that mandatory CPD is a costly requirement. They further recognised that they were unaware of non-attendance based CPD activities as methods of accruing CEUs. The study revealed that dental technicians in KZN experience challenges in being CPD compliant.
An evidence-based guide to occlusion and articulation. Part 3: A guide to functional occlusion: teeth vs joint
Authors: Owen CP
Published: May 2022

Although this is essentially a review, it has not been written in the passive, third-person style normally associated with scientific writing, as it is intended to be thought-provoking and, hopefully, educational. It has therefore been written in more of a conversational style, and is aimed at students, dentists and dental technicians who are receptive to a slightly different view of occlusion and articulation, based on evidence. Occlusion is a topic that has become a kind of archaic minefield of conflicting ideas, propositions, and above all, solutions, most of which are based on a complete lack of understanding of the evolution and development of teeth, and by extension, of clinically objective evidence. That in itself is a statement of conflict (and perhaps even heretical), but it is by way of warning that this guide is not going to be much like anything you will find in standard text-books of dentistry or dental technology. It is, rather, an attempt to help you navigate through what you will read elsewhere, in the hope that eventually you will find an understanding that you can live with. It will appear as a sequential series in 7 Parts.
Special-IST versus Special inter-IST

Dentists who wish to specialize in a specific discipline have to undergo and complete a rigorous, structured and extensive postgraduate academic and practical training programme, and pass all the requisite exams. Only then can they be registered with a regulating professional body and be recognized as such in that field. Thereafter their scope of practice becomes limited to that specialty alone. This differs from general dentists, who are not restricted in their scope of practice, but may have limitations to the extent of their capabilities. They may choose to upskill themselves through attendance at short courses, hands-on training workshops, informal study groups, dental company workshops or even YouTube videos. Unlike the trainee in a formal institution, this is unstructured and outcomes are unspecified, yet some of these practitioners then market themselves as specialists in these fields. While the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) has set out a list of core ethical values and standards for good practice, there are no regulations enforcing the need for these practitioners to undergo and pass HPCSA recognized examinations to assess their capabilities, knowledge and skill in these modalities. This opens the profession up to risks of practitioners contravening a number of core values and standards expected of trusted professionals and can mislead and put the general public at risk. This paper aims to explore if regulation of this type of practice is required, who should be allowed to offer additional training to dentists, and who should be regulating the trainers.
Montessori, the White Cross and Trauma-Informed Practice

Childhood adversity and trauma are pervasive and have powerful, far-reaching consequences for health and well-being. Recent years have seen increased recognition of the need for trauma-informed practice, which aims to promote understanding, healing, and the prevention of retraumatization. Historical data show that the early Montessori schools were known internationally as healing schools, wherein children affected by adversity or trauma were apparently healed on a considerable scale. This study presents the findings from a documentary analysis of three primary sources, namely, Maria Montessori’s own original accounts, eyewitness accounts, and media reports pertaining to this healing aspect of the early Montessori schools. The findings demonstrate that, first, from the beginning of her career, Montessori worked with children who had experienced significant exposure to adversity or trauma, second, that her Montessori Method was shown to affect healing or recovery in these children, and third, that her long involvement with trauma-affected children directly led to her later attempts to set up an organization to be called the White Cross, which was to incorporate, among other things, a trauma-informed course for teacher–nurses. In this innovative approach to Montessori studies, we argue that Montessori was ahead of her time, that her work is even more relevant today in the context of adversity and trauma research, and that her methods, principles, and approaches may be harnessed and used in ways that promote trauma-informed practice in contemporary education settings.
Montessori Bibliography Online
Authors: Parham Joel
Published: May 2022

The Montessori Bibliography Online (MBO) makes information about Montessori education and the Montessori movement more accessible through an online interface that includes links to digitized source materials. Historically, Montessori bibliographies and indexes have been published in physical form and include references to other sources, but a direct link is absent. This database builds on previously compiled indexes to consolidate citations into a comprehensive repository with an intuitive user interface and a robust search capability. Additionally, the MBO provides hyperlinks to digitized source material. Although this type of tool is not unprecedented in the larger research and educational landscape, it is novel within the domain of Montessori education. This methodological essay discusses the steps I took to compile and develop the MBO. Beginning with a review of the literature and legal matters, the discussion describes the methods and processes employed. It concludes by outlining future directions for the MBO. The MBO is accessible at https://montessoribib.ku.edu.
L’expérience musicale au service de la parole
Authors: GUERRASIO Francesca
Published: May 2022

L’expérience musicale au service de la parole s’inscrit à la suite du projet intitulé « Mots et musique » mis en place il y a quatre ans, au collège J. Sannazaro de Salerno (Italie) et proposé aux classes terminales. À travers l’écoute et l’analyse de textes de chansons préalablement sélectionnées, les professeurs de langue et littérature italienne et de musique en co-présence visent à la valorisation du patrimoine artistique et culturel italien à la recherche de liens thématiques entre la littérature et la musique en référence aux objectifs pédagogiques imposés par le Ministère de l’éducation, de la recherche et de l’instruction italien et à la transformation/création de textes de la part des élèves dans un esprit de coopération et collaboration. Partant de l’écoute en tant que moment privilégié du cours, nous montrerons comment le processus de compréhension et de mémorisation d’un texte s’appuie sur la perception des figures de la musique, modèles de reconnaissance (et de comportement) qui ont pour but de saisir les concepts d’organisation de la matière musicale et textuelle dans sa complexité lexicale, grammaticale, thématique.
De l’« émotissage » à la créativité dans la découverte et le partage de chansons du patrimoine francophone
Authors: ROSEN REINHARDT Evelyne
Published: May 2022

Dans cet article, nous souhaiterions présenter un dispositif mis en place depuis 2016 entre deux centres universitaires d’enseignement et d’apprentissage du Français Langue Etrangère (FLE), à Lille (France) et à Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgique) favorisant l’expérience de la découverte de la langue française (chantée) et de la culture francophone (mise en musique) ainsi que de la culture des autres participants internationaux en présence. Qu’est-ce qui est en jeu dans la découverte d’une chanson du pays d’accueil par des apprenants internationaux de français ? Quels sont les liens tissés avec les musiques et chansons des pays d’origine des apprenants ? Pour donner des éléments de réponse à ces questions, nous proposerons tout d’abord une esquisse de typologie des déclencheurs reliant musiques et chansons d’ici et d’ailleurs dans le corpus constitué par des posts sur le blog transfrontalier mis en place. Dans un deuxième temps, nous nous centrerons sur l’analyse, à titre d’exemple, d’un billet posté sur le blog autour du thème des « musiques et chansons d’ici » - en l’occurrence la chanson emblématique d’Enrico Macias Les gens du Nord, et sur la médiation menée par les apprenants, permettant de mettre en regard la chanson Patagonia de l’Argentin José Larralde ainsi qu’un acrostiche créatif. Nous mettrons en point d’orgue l’importance de la subjectivité, des émotions et de la créativité pour l’enseignement et l’apprentissage des langues.
Les chants de bateliers
Authors: TESTARD Emilie
Published: May 2022

Les cortèges de barques royales ont participé dès le règne du roi Narai (contemporain de Louis XIV) au XVIIème siècle à glorifier l'institution monarchique et le règne du dieu Vishnou incarné. Si des descriptions de ces cortèges anciens ne sont décrits que succinctement dans les récits de voyage des occidentaux venus au Siam, les textes les plus anciens qui nous soient parvenus furent composés par le prince Thammathibet, fils ainé du roi Borommakot (début du XVIIIème siècle). Le poète, après avoir fait la description des embarcations royales, dorées et aux proues ornées d'animaux mythologiques minutieusement sculptés, se livre à une description de la nature : le fleuve abonde en poissons de toutes sortes, les fleurs font ployer les branches des arbres, les oiseaux colorés emplissent l'air de leurs chants mélodieux. La luxuriance de la nature participe à la gloire d'Ayutthaya. De vocation panégyrique, les chants de bateliers outil de propagande dédiés à la louange du royaume, de ses capitales et de ses rois, devinrent progressivement des œuvres de circonstance vouées à perdre toute valeur poétique pour ne devenir que des litanies répétitives et caduques.
La chanson en tant qu’un outil didactique multidimensionnel
Authors: TRYBISZ Mirosław
Published: May 2022

Depuis quelques années, je propose aux étudiants d’ELE un cours de l’espagnol par chansons. Ils le choisissent très souvent, bien qu’ils aient quelques options. Le cours a pour l’objectif principal de combler les lacunes en ce qui concerne le niveau de langue en deuxième année et l’emploi de la chanson en tant que l’outil permet de le réaliser. En général, chaque unité se compose de trois parties. Je présente trois exemples d’exploitation avec des propositions des activités de pré-audition, d’audition et de post-audition.
De l’anxiété à l’humour
Authors: VORGER Camille
Published: May 2022

Notre expérience d’enseignement du FLE associée à nos recherches sur le slam, la chanson et la créativité qui émerge dans ce contexte, nous amènent à considérer les liens entre chanson, émotions et apprentissages. Le terme d’émotissages (Berdal-Masuy 2018) permet de relier (de tisser des liens entre) les émotions, leur prise en compte dans l’enseignement et les apprentissages. En quoi dans nos cours, la chanson peut-elle favoriser l’intégration des émotions ? Nous réfléchirons aux différentes entrées possibles : portes (activités « classiques »), fenêtres (activités plus créatives) et velux (perspectives). La chanson apporte en effet un éclairage différent sur la façon dont nous abordons la langue dans nos cours et se révèle porteuse d’émotissages. Nous présenterons un dispositif et un exemple de chanson (« Anxiété » de Pomme) qui servira de point de départ à des activités d’expression.
