Bringing the political back in
Authors: Clar Christoph
Published: September 2021

Christoph Clar argues that recent experiences with urban sustainable development call for urban researchers to integrate the knowledge of both various scientific disciplines and non-scientific actors. Referring to the phenomenon green gentrification, he discusses the contribution of political science for developing critical inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives and illustrates how sustainable development is not only a question of technical solutions, but a deeply political issue. Acknowledging the political dimensions of urban sustainable development would improve the understanding of social, economic, and environmental interrelations and help to develop solutions that do not improve cities' ecological sustainability at the cost of social justice.
Post-soziale Urbanität in glokalen Kontexten
Authors: Reinprecht Christoph
Published: September 2021

Der Beitrag diskutiert im Spiegel aktueller Prozesse der Urbanisierung (Metropolitanisierung, glokale Stadt) Transformationen des Sozialen im Städtischen. Bezugnehmend auf Konzepte der »guten« und der »umkämpften« Stadt werden Prozesse und Konstellationen post-sozialer Urbanität herausgearbeitet. Post-soziale Urbanität artikuliert sich (unter anderem) in Praktiken der (Un-)Sichtbarmachung, der Residualisierung des Sozialen, der ökonomischen Landnahme des öffentlichen Raums, des sicherheitsbesessenen Urbanismus, der Durchsetzung von Programmierungsdispositiven in Stadtplanung und städtischer Governance. Der Beitrag identifiziert zudem Potenziale eines neuen Sozialen als wesentliche Quelle für die Etablierung kosmopolitischer Formen des Zusammenlebens und der Kooperation, die den Bedingungen post-sozialer Unwirtlichkeit trotzen.

Paisagens como instalações
Authors: Cunha Lucas , D'Angelo Biagio
Published: September 2021

A natureza sempre foi objeto de apreciação das paisagens, historicamente concebidas em pinturas que guardam em si grande potencialidade retórica. Contudo, na contemporaneidade, as instalações – reconhecidas como elementos do campo escultórico – mudam a relação entre observador e imagem e agregam à paisagem natural uma nova dimensão, que é adicionalmente mediada pelos espaços expositivos. Estes são os casos das obras “Riverbed”, de Olafur Eliasson, e “Paraíso”, de Oscar Oiwa. Ambas as instalações, objetos de análise deste artigo, retratam a natureza de maneira diferente da tradição dos quadros e, ao serem examinadas por uma ótica intertextual – que aqui toma como referência conceitos seminais para essas formas de arte mais atuais –, suscitam um diálogo de natureza política e afetiva com o próprio local em que se encontram, tanto territorialmente quanto institucionalmente.

Revisión literaria y modelación de la desaturación de un suelo arenoso por medio del método de inyección de aire
Authors: Garcia Aristizabal Edwin , Sepúlveda Cano Sebastián , Vega Posada Carlos Alberto
Published: September 2021

Contexto: En los últimos años, la comunidad científica ha discutido la posibilidad y la efectividad de disminuir el grado de saturación del suelo como una medida para mejorar la resistencia mecánica de las arenas saturadas licuables. Por esta razón, se han propuesto y probado varias metodologías para introducir burbujas de gas en el suelo. Además, es bien sabido que la disminución del grado de saturación del suelo, al inducir una pequeña cantidad de aire, restringe el desarrollo de exceso de presión de poros y aumenta significativamente su resistencia cíclica.
Método: Se proporciona una visión general de la tecnología de inyección de aire para inducir un grado de saturación parcial, mediante la selección de algunos artículos de alta calidad y la revisión literaria sistemática. Asimismo, se desarrolla un modelo de flujo multifásico y se lleva a cabo un análisis numérico para describir la evolución, en el tiempo y en el espacio, de la desaturación del suelo, para lo cual se investiga numéricamente la longitud del avance del frente de aire durante la inyección.
Resultados: Se reconoce hacia dónde se dirige la investigación futura relacionada con la inyección de aire, como medida de mejoramiento de suelos arenosos licuables. Además, se entrega un estudio paramétrico transitorio evaluando la permeabilidad del suelo, inyectabilidad de aire, presiones de inyección, y radio de desaturación de la región de interés.
Conclusiones: El trabajo destaca hallazgos e identifica enfoques de investigadores, mediante observaciones, para lo cual se reconocen limitaciones y lagunas de conocimiento. Finalmente, los resultados numéricos indican que la evolución de la desaturación está controlada activamente por la presión de inyección de aire y la permeabilidad del suelo.
Computational assessment of performance parameters of an aero gas turbine combustor for full flight envelope operation
Authors: Muduli Saroj Kumar , Mishra R. K. , Mishra Purna Chandra
Published: September 2021

This paper presents the computational study carried out on an aero gas turbine combustor to assess important performance parameters. The CFD results are compared with experimental dataobtained from the full scale combustor tested at ground test stand simulating various operational conditions. The CFD predictions have agreed very well with the experimental data. The model is then extended to predict combustor exit temperature pattern factors, pressure loss, and combustion efficiency and exhaust gas constituents over a wide range of operating pressure and temperature conditions. The paper also presents the studies carried out on the effect of atomizer spray cone angle, particle size and fuel flow variations expected due to manufacturing tolerances in various flow passages as well as due to operational degradations on temperature pattern factors. The pattern factors are also analyzed on cold and hot day environment. The radial pattern factor (RPF) at mid height is found to increase as altitude increases from sea level to 12 km. Spray cone angle is found to have a predominant effect on temperature non-uniformity at exit, lower cone angle increasing both radial and circumferential pattern factors. The findings of this study are valuable inputs for engine performance estimation.
Evidence and Application of Athlete Monitoring Programs in National Collegiate Athletic Association Women's Soccer: A Narrative Review
Authors: Ishida Ai , Bazyler Caleb D. , Sayers Adam L. , Stone Michael H. , Gentles Jeremy A.
Published: September 2021

National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) women's soccer players spend 2–3 weeks in preseason, followed by 12–14 weeks in the competitive season. Because of a short, intense preseason followed by the long competitive season, athlete monitoring programs would play an important role in maximizing physical preparation and match performance while minimizing unfavorable adaptations and fatigue during the NCAA Division I collegiate women's soccer competitive season. Athlete monitoring measures can be used to assess training load (TL), the response to TL, and a player's physical and psychological readiness to train or play during the competitive season. Session rating of perceived exertion and global navigation satellite system measures are common load monitoring measures, whereas subjective recovery and stress questionnaires, heart rate measures, performance tests, and biochemical measures are monitoring measures to estimate the response to TL. This article aims to review the roles of these athlete monitoring measures and provide the physical performance demands of women's soccer match play and athlete monitoring strategies. Furthermore, this article provides practitioner examples of athlete monitoring programs based on NCAA Division I women's soccer match schedules and limitations.
A Provocation of The Modes of Black Indigeneity
Authors: Mays Kyle
Published: September 2021

This essay explores the meaning of the term Black Indigeneity (BI). Afro-Indigenous Studies scholar Kyle T. Mays asks, what is Black Indigeneity? How do scholars talk about it? What are its possibilities? Relying on a survey of recent scholarship, Mays argues that BI is largely understood as a form of Black Americans participating in settler colonial processes meant to erase and displace Indigenous peoples. He argues that we should look at BI as an analytic that African Americans have used to create belonging and continue to express cultures practiced throughout the African diaspora, adapted and transformed into a modern iteration of cultural expression. In this way, we should rethink how we view blackness and indigeneity as two separate entities, and explore how people of African descent create belonging on dispossessed Indigenous land.

Importance of Gymnasium Students’ Anxiety, Identity Style and Stress Coping Strategies for Examination Stress Assessment
Authors: Mazilauskaite Ruta
Published: September 2021

Examinations and their results often become perhaps the biggest challenge in young person’s life, which is associated with the course of later life. For this reason, a high level of stress is observed, which is maintained by both personal and situational factors. In this context, the objective of this study is to identify the links between the experienced anxiety, identity style, examinations stress and its coping strategies of the gymnasium students. The study involved 175 gymnasium students in grades 10 to 12. Of these, 109 were girls (62.3%) and 66 were boys (37.7%), aged 16 to 19 years of age (M = 17.27, SD = 0.92). Gymnasium students were given a questionnaire based on the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (Spielberger, Gorsuch, Lushene, 1970), Identity Style Inventory Version 5 (ISI-5) (Berzonsky, Soenens, Luyckx, Smits, Papini, Goossens, 2013), the Stress Coping Questionnaire (Grakauskas, Valickas, 2006), and the Examination Stress Scale for Adolescent Students (Sung, Chao, 2014). It was found that the more frequent experience of stress in gymnasium students examinations was predicted by stronger trait and state anxiety, more frequent choice of informational, normative identity processing style and more frequent use of avoidance strategy in experiencing stress.
Possibilities of Applying Multimedia Technologies in Inclusive Education
Authors: Žalytė-Linkuvienė Simona
Published: September 2021

Rapidly changing social, economic and cultural environment, the development of digital technologies, the global pandemic that broke out in 2020 and demographic challenges increase society’s need for constant change and improvement. Against the background of these challenges, the need to provide every member of society with equal opportunities for development is emphasized. This is an essential principle of inclusive education. Global and national documents emphasizing the need for inclusive education call for strengthening the ability of education to connect with all learners with behavioral, psychological, physiological or special abilities, regardless of nationality, social status, emphasis on respect for, access to and care for educational diversity, its change and growth. Inclusive education is best defined by the principles of the Good School Characteristics. Therefore, in this work, inclusive education is understood as an educational process characterized by the principles of the Good School Concept.

As in all areas of our lives, the successful implementation of the educational process is undoubtedly influenced by digital multimedia technologies. There are often questions about the coherence between the technologies chosen and the process. Therefore, the possibilities of applying of multimedia technologies with inclusive education were chosen as the object of the article. The aim of the research is to evaluate the research areas of researchers analyzing the possibilities of multimedia technologies on the basis of the analysis of scientific literature, which are in line with the essential principles of inclusive education. The study concludes that the quality and values of educators’ competencies become particularly important in inclusive settings, but that there is a lack of formal research that has a direct impact on students’ achievements, social and emotional well-being and personal development. Multimedia technologies can be a great tool to achieve the goals of inclusive education; the attention of researchers working with technologies related to multimedia (sound, image, computer graphics, interactivity of the mentioned media) to pedagogical goals is particularly poor.

Published: September 2021

For many families, the possibility that their child may have scoliosis causes great anxiety because their child may be deformed for life, may need to wear a brace for years, or may need to undergo a large and dangerous operation. For most families, these fears are groundless. Up to 3% of the population has a spinal curvature, most of which are small curves that may not need referral or repeated imaging. Many adolescents with scoliosis do well and do not need to wear a brace or have surgery.

Authors: Dosani Kaushal , Koletic Carolina , Alhosh Rabea
Published: September 2021

Cannabis use has been evolving in both recreational drug use and medicinal uses, in part due to the recent introduction of various strains and components. With increasing use, we have seen emergence of a hyperemesis syndrome called cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome characterized as intractable vomiting, nausea, and abdominal pain in the context of prolonged cannabinoid use. Although the antiemetic properties of cannabis have been known for years, the paradoxical effect of hyperemesis has yet to be elucidated. Herein we discuss the current research, epidemiology, and diagnosis and treatment of cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome. Without timely diagnosis and treatment, patients may experience significant physical and emotional distress, as well as place unnecessary financial burden on the medical system.
Apparent Clitoromegaly in Healthy Female Newborn
Authors: Hiers Paul S. , Abi Younes Rita Tatiana , Haller Michael J.
Published: September 2021

Cysts of the external female genitalia are uncommon findings and can be either congenital or acquired. Congenital cysts of the external female genitalia may be discovered from the initial newborn examination and cause concern for clitoromegaly or ambiguous genitalia. We describe a clitoral cyst presenting as apparent clitoromegaly in a newborn; this is the third reported case in the literature. We also review the differential and evaluation for clitoromegaly in a newborn. We present a case of a 1-day-old newborn, with concern for clitoromegaly on initial newborn examination. Multiple anatomy ultrasounds were performed during pregnancy and no genital abnormality was noted. On physical examination, a 1 × 1 cm cyst was found on the clitoral hood obstructing the clitoris and vaginal opening. There were no signs of virilization or hyperandrogenism on examination. The cyst was aspirated, with clear, serous fluid removed. Normal female anatomy and normal clitoris size were noted after aspiration. She had no recurrence of the cyst in the months after discharge. Clitoral cysts of the female external genitalia are rare findings. Barring signs of virilization of hyperandrogenism, conservative management and watchful waiting or cyst drainage are reasonable approaches.
Ministry of Truth: Formation and support of the main rhetoric by informational ministries of so-called Luhansk and Donetsk People’s republics
Authors: Malyk Iryna
Published: September 2021

The peculiarity of the contemporary historical period, Ukraine is currently in, is the necessity of rapid reaction to new challenges and threats, which were absolutely unknown recently. The experience of recent years showed that information security is the most important component of the national security of the state. Neglect of threats in this area leads to economic catastrophes, diplomatic crises, military conflicts, wars and territorial losses. Information warfare is the war of the future, having numerous advantages over armed conflict resolution: these include relatively lower economic costs, anonymous nature of the enemy (which complicates contractions), and absence of informational borders in modern globalized world, as well as inability to set the rules of the game. The most spread methods of realization of the set goals in the information warfare are propaganda, manipulation, disinformation, and diversification of public consciousness. Herewith, one of the main components of the information warfare is rhetoric, aimed to form public consciousness in a holistic way. This research is the continuation of the study of the informational field of the occupied territories of Donbas, started in the article “Some aspects of humanitarian challenges of safe reintegration processes of Temporary Occupied Territories of Separate Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Regions: role of mass media”. The research aims to distinguish and formulate the main messages and rhetoric, which are basic for the contemporary informational policy of quasi-states on the Temporary Occupied Territories of Separate Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Regions. For the realization of the set aim, the following tasks should be performed:– distinguishing of theoretical approaches to the concept “rhetoric”:– analysis of the website of the “Ministry of Information of Donetsk People’s Republic” and “Ministry of communication and mass communication of Luhansk People’s Republic”:- distinguishing and formulation of the main rhetoric and messages, which are basic for the informational policy on the occupied territories, based on the analysis of the content of the websites of ministries.Hypothesis: Contemporary informational policy, which is formulated by the quasi-government, does not facilitate safe reintegration of the occupied territories into Ukraine and forms rhetoric, working for approaching with the Russian Federation, in the public consciousness.The main news themes and projects, the ministries realized, were determined. Themes of news (the period analysed - January 2021), which were further grouped into six main blocks were studied. The percentage weight of each news block was determined and further visualized in the work using the graphic method.The main rhetoric, working at the formation of public consciousness in “republics” was defined on the basis of the conducted analysis of the news feed of the ministries responsible for information policy in Luhansk and Donetsk People’s republics.
Conceptualization of the concept social practices of informal employment of the population
Authors: Varha Nataliia , Hvozdetska Bohdanna
Published: September 2021

The article deals with examination of the process of formation and development of the concept informal employment, that originated in the 1970s in poor regions of the Third World countries, which has acquired the status of the universal subject matter of the research. We have noted the compensatory component of informal employment (reduction of social tension as a result of joblessness), the initial socialization (the first workplace), the differential character of employment; the function of internal competition and search for the ways of survival under the conditions of a transition society. It is displayed that none of the schools takes immaterial profit and social aspects of informal employment functioning into account. The purpose of the article is to present a social conditions, informal employment practices are likely to arise and spread to satisfy the needs of a family or a community, without expecting to gain direct material income. It is revealed that employment should not be considered as a workplace solely, but mostly as a place for reciprocity and exchange, which is based on social capital, that has the character of verbal contracts. The activity that brings material or immaterial income and profit but not the official status of the employment is determinant in this case. It is mentioned that informal social employment practices are based on heritage, they are more inertial and stable. It is them that are located at the crossroads of sociocultural and institutional outlines, reflecting certain values and norms of a society. It is indicated that a simple dichotomic classification by the principle “formal — informal” employment simplifies the situation excessively. We are of the opinion that the employment market can be described due to the continuum of workplaces, workers are able to move inside the formal as well as the informal sector depending on conditions. It is singled out that the behaviour of the majority of population, that forms real practices is defined by traditions on the one hand, and on the other hand, by dissemination of new ways of social activity, located beyond the generated formal legal space. The issue is the mass-scale spread of informal employment practices.

Perpetuation of Taras Shevchenko's memory in the Ukrainian national movement of the Dnieper region at the beginning of the XX century
Authors: Svitlenko Serhii
Published: September 2021

The relevance of this topic is seen in the fact that its study provides an opportunity to deepen the understanding of the underdeveloped problem of perpetuating the historical memory of Taras Shevchenko – a symbol of the Ukrainian nation's struggle for social and national freedom as an important factor in opposing the imperial regime. Tsarism by methods of ideological, gendarmerie-police, censorship pressure in every way prevented the activation of conscious Ukrainians in the early twentieth century. The aim of the study is to study the perpetuation of the memory of Taras Shevchenko in the Ukrainian national movement of the Dnieper region in the early twentieth century. The results of the article are that based on the study of archival and published documents, journalistic materials of the press and memoirs, various methods of legal and illegal activity of the Ukrainian national movement in preserving the historical memory of Taras Shevchenko were reconstructed. It is emphasized that the progressive public widely celebrated the 40th anniversary of Kobzar's death in the press. In the early twentieth century Ukrainian activists raised the issue of erecting a monument to Shevchenko, continued the tradition of visiting the tomb of the Ukrainian poet, tried to perpetuate his memory in toponymy, participated in Shevchenko's memorial services, resorted to illegal gatherings in honor of Kobzar, mentioned him during meetings and communication in among the intelligentsia. The originality and scientific novelty of the article in the production and development of insufficiently researched plot on historical Shevchenko studies, actualization and conceptualization of various concrete-historical material. Conclusions were made on various forms and methods of struggle to preserve the memory of Taras Shevchenko, which contributed to the establishment of national consciousness among Ukrainians, strengthened the political tendency in the Ukrainian national movement.
Philosophical Aspect of Thinking
Authors: Tishko Liliya , Shchepova Diana
Published: September 2021

The article examines the features and significance of philosophical thinking, understanding its content. The focusing on the fact that the love of wisdom without thinking would not be possible.The purpose: to understand the philosophical aspect of thinking.The relevance of the article is that on the basis of interpretation of the concept of "thinking" by representatives of various philosophical systems, understand the general essence and significance of philosophical thinking.The results. To date, it became very difficult to understand the essence of the thinking of ancient philosophers, even reading hundreds of their treatises. The reason for this is primarily translation of the original sources. It is necessary to understand that translators, in the first place, are guided by the recruitment of a successful vocabulary and connectivity of the language, neglecting the fact that the language of any thinker – this is its own thinking, the true depth and essence of which is lost in any translation of the original.In general, the problem of thinking has always been the center of attention of many philosophers. In particular, the essence and meaning of thinking studied Parmenide, Socrates, Aristotle, R. Descartes, I. Kant, G. Hegel and many other representatives of the philosophical thought of various epochs. Аll academic philosophers of the Western world converge on the fact that thinking is the most important sign of human being. By neglecting thinking, we will ignore the most important feature of man. After all, only a man who thinks can fully create his life. The same, for whom thinking is not characteristic – just exist, like the world of animals or plants. Therefore, the ability to evaluate reality, and not only to perceive it, appears a huge advantage of human intelligence, a guarantee of human desire to develop, to self-improvement.Conclusions. It is established that translating views of thinkers or interpretation of passages from their treatises is far from philosophical thinking. Philosophical thinking, to a greater extent, is thinking about thinking than thinking about some reality. This is due to the fact that philosophy tries to comprehend the partial phenomena, but a situation of human being in the world, taking into account the ability of a person to think and aware. It has been found that the main goal of thinking is to achieve the obvious and clear by formulating certain definitions (concepts) that make up the boundary of thinking and not allowed to move in a circle. Thus, philosophical thinking arises internally associated, logically consistent, and hence-argued and justified at the same time.
The future plans and dilemmas of Chinese students studying in Hungary: A narrative analysis
Authors: Li Xueyan , Primecz Henriett
Published: September 2021

Studying in Hungary has become a new trend among Chinese students under the Belt and Road Initiative. The spectacular tripling of the growth of incoming Chinese students has influenced the number of international students in Hungary. In this paper, 26 in-depth narrative interviews with Chinese students in Hungary were conducted and analysed, employing the grounded theory method. This research reveals that beyond considerable uncertainty regarding future plans and career trajectories, three paths are open for Chinese students in Hungary. The largest group intends to return to China after graduation, although they have doubts concerning whether their acquired skills and knowledge can be utilised. The second group aims to find niche jobs, in which they can utilise their in-betweenness. Finally, a small proportion consciously builds their network and aims to remain in Hungary or Europe, engage in further studies or seek employment. The findings contribute to policymakers who support Chinese international educational mobility and to individual Chinese students that wish to widen their horizons and find alternative career paths.
Integration of ISO 22000 (2018) and HAS 23000 through Management System Audit: Case Study in Corned Beef Producer

Published: September 2021

Integrated Management System (IMS) based audit can assist the internal and external auditor to conduct an audit effectively and efficiently while checking compliance of Food Safety Management System and Halal Assurance System in the food industry. Corned beef is a product categorized as critical both in terms of halal and food safety. Implementing a food safety management system and halal assurance in corned beef industries is a challenge for producers and external auditors from inspection agencies. Based on the requirements equality approach, an Integrated Management System can be developed, referring to ISO 22000 : 2018 and HAS 23000. This research aims to combine the requirements of ISO 22000 : 2018 and HAS 23000 to be used for audit activity, as well as formulating recommendations for the corned beef producers in both requirements based on a new version of ISO 22000 : 2018. According to the analysis of requirements equality on each requirement objective, there are 14 of 30 sub-clauses of ISO 22000 : 2018 that can be integrated with 9 HAS criteria. There are 2 HAS criteria that cannot be integrated with sub clauses of ISO 22000 : 2018, namely criteria number 4 material and 5 product. When the IMS clauses are used in audit to one of corned beef company, the percentage of compliance with the IMS requirements is 90.6% in PT XYZ. The nonconformities related to ISO 22000 : 2018 found on a new clause that has not existed in the previous version ISO 22000: 2005. This gap creates some recommendations for PT XYZ. However, IMS based audit makes the audit for halal and food safety compliance be more effective that can combine checking of food safety and halal in one audit. Furthermore, IMS based audit makes the audit be more time efficient, by reducing the mandays.

Published: September 2021

ABSTRACT Objective: Analyze the exposure of nursing workers to workloads present in university hospitals located in southern Brazil. Method: Cross-sectional quantitative study performed with 361 nursing workers from two University Hospitals between November 2019 and February 2020. An instrument addressing sociodemographic and occupational variables was used together with the previously validated Workloads in Nursing Activities Scale. The distribution of frequencies, measures of location, and variability were identified, and analysis of variance and the Tukey test were performed. Results: The construct that obtained the highest mean was F3 – Biological Loads (3.00), revealing that nursing workers are very intensively exposed to biological loads. Workloads were significantly different between the work units – physiological (p = 0.001), biological (p = 0.007), psychological (p = 0.042), mechanical (p = 0.014), chemical (p = 0.001), and physical (p = 0.001). Conclusion: The workers identified that exposure to workloads varies in intensity, showing aspects of the work performed in health institutions that either aggravate or mitigate workloads through the activities performed by nursing workers.

ABSTRACT Objective to describe the meaning attributed to the use of a game as an educational technology for the involvement of companions in pediatric patient safety. Method a qualitative study carried out with 16 companions of children admitted to the Pediatric Unit of the public hospital in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Data collection took place from October to December 2019, through semi-structured interviews, after using the game as an educational technology. Symbolic Interactionism was used as the theoretical framework and Inductive Content Analysis, as the method. Results playing the game in search of patient safety was an important strategy for sharing knowledge and co-responsibility for the companions to engage in the pediatric patient safety actions, in addition to a relevant contribution to the prevention of adverse events. On the other hand, the professionals' overload and communication problems stood out as barriers to the establishment of a bond among the health team members and, consequently, the involvement of the companions in patient safety. Conclusion the companions recognized themselves as partners in the prevention of adverse events and highlighted some behavioral changes in favor of patient safety after participating in the playful intervention. Thus, it is considered that the game can be an important and interactive strategy for disseminating information to companions and family members and, consequently, favoring the increased participation of these actors in patient safety actions.

RESUMO Durante o fim do século XIX e início do XX, Belém (Pará, Brasil) passou por várias transformações em sua estrutura urbana, arquitetônica e social em função do ciclo da borracha. Também conhecido como belle époque, o período foi marcado pelas importações majoritariamente europeias, que modificaram a arquitetura da cidade. Uma das fábricas estrangeiras que exportou intensamente foi a escocesa W. MacFarlane & Co., com bens arquitetônicos em ferro fundido de modelos e funções bem diversas, que até hoje estão na cidade, em especial os dutos verticais, inseridos em várias fachadas ecléticas. No entanto, tais dutos correm o risco de desaparecer, seja por mau funcionamento, substituições ou furtos, mesmo sendo um importante testemunho histórico, tecnológico e arquitetônico. Nesse sentido, este trabalho pretende documentar os dutos verticais de sete bairros de Belém, do centro histórico e entorno, no que tange a quantidade, padrões e formas de alterações dos remanescentes, discutindo as transformações e permanências dos dutos que ainda fazem parte da paisagem urbana de Belém. Foram desenvolvidos levantamentos in loco que geraram fichas documentais de 408 dutos verticais da W. MacFarlane & Co., distribuídos em 223 edificações nos sete bairros estudados, o que permitiu identificar uma grande variedade de padrões. Os resultados desta pesquisa serão utilizados para subsidiar a salvaguarda de tais dutos (que vêm desaparecendo ao longo dos anos) como parte dos elementos metálicos históricos provenientes da industrialização em Belém, a fim de continuar a pesquisa desses dutos verticais na restauração científica.

ABSTRACT Objective: To estimate the rate of the use of antenatal corticosteroids (ANC) among pregnant women and to identify the conditions associated with their non-use in Brazil. Methods: Secondary data analysis from “Birth in Brazil”, a national hospital-based survey carried out in 2011–2012 on childbirth and birth. The sample was characterized regarding maternal age, marital status and maternal education, parity, mode of delivery and place of residence. The association of ANC use with gestational age and type of delivery was analyzed. The studied maternal complications were the presence of hypertension, pre-eclampsia/eclampsia, and pyelonephritis, infection by the HIV virus or acquired immune deficiency syndrome. Results: 2,623 pregnant women with less than 37 weeks of gestational age were identified, and, of these, 835 (31.8%) received ANC. The frequency of ANC use was higher among women with gestational ages between 26–34 weeks (481 cases; 48.73%). In pregnancies with less than 37 weeks, the use of ANC was 23.9% in spontaneous deliveries, 20.6% in induced deliveries and 43.8% among those who did not go into labor. The variables vaginal delivery (OR 2.5; 95%CI 1.8–3.4) and living in the countryside were associated with not using ANC, and the occurrence of pre-eclampsia/eclampsia (OR 1.8; 95%CI 1.2–2.9) was associated with the use of ANC. Conclusions: The use of ANC among Brazilian pregnant women was low. Interventions to increase its use are necessary and can contribute to reduce neonatal mortality and morbidity. ANC should be promoted in pregnancies of less than 37 weeks, especially in cases of vaginal delivery and for those living in the countryside.

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the association of sleep disorders with the findings of heart rate variability (HRV) in children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis (CF). Methods: Cross-sectional study including children and adolescents aged six to 18 years with a clinical diagnosis of CF. Sociodemographic and clinical data were collected. Sleep disorders were evaluated using baseline nocturnal polysomnography. The autonomic nervous system (ANS) was evaluated through resting HRV. Results: A total of 30 individuals (11.2 years) with a mean forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) of 62.7% were included. The respiratory disturbance index presented a median of 2.6 and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) was identified in 30%. In the HRV analysis, a mean standard deviation of all inter-beat (RR) intervals (SDNN) of 60.8±45.9ms was found. There was a significant correlation between the HRV low-frequency/high-frequency (LF/HF) global modulation index and the minimum SpO2 during sleep in patients with FEV1<60% (r=0.71; p=0.02). The prevalence of sleep disorders and HRV abnormalities was higher in individuals with lesser pulmonary function (FEV1<60%). Conclusions: The results indicate a weak correlation of sleep disorders (minimum SpO2) with HRV parameters (LH/HF) in children and adolescents with CF. When pulmonary function was reduced, a stronger correlation was found, highlighting the influence of disease severity. A high prevalence of ANS disorders, nocturnal hypoxemia, and presence of OSAS was also found.

In this study, the authors investigated the anti-icing performance of a hierarchical slippery polymer thin film that is inspired by structures of the lotus leaf and Nepenthes pitcher plant. The polymer solution was mixed with the lubricant at the appropriate concentration to achieve slippery properties. The dry etching method followed by the spin-coating process was used to generate a uniform polymer microstructure on the thin film. The polymer nanostructure was then yielded by an additional plasma-etching method using carbon tetrafluoride (CF4) gas. The anti-icing efficiency was then compared with that of the non-functional samples to demonstrate the advantages of combination in all criteria. Moreover, a theoretical prediction based on the free-energy approach was used to measure the nucleation time at the interface and illustrated good agreement with real-time measurement. The results propose a new and facile approach for outdoor anti-icing applications.
