Authors: GÜN Neslişah , KAVLAK Bahar , SARI Zubeyir , YURDALAN Ufuk
Published: May 2023

ABSTRACT (ENGLISH):

Purpose: This study's objective was to assess the effectiveness of neural mobilization on asymptomatic, healthy volunteers' pain, muscle strength, and reaction time.

Material and Methods: Hand grip strength, reaction time, and pain thresholds of 50 participiants’ were evaluated using a dynamometer, the Nelson Hand Reaction Test, and a digital algometer, respectively. While the dominant extremities of the participants constituted the neural mobilization group, the non-dominant extremities constituted the control group. The same measurements were repeated in both extremities by the blinded assessor after median nerve mobilization was applied to the dominant upper extremities of participants.

Results: When the measurements before and after mobilization were compared in the neural mobilization group, it was seen that the hand grip strength increased (p 0.05); however, a statistically significant decrease was found in reaction time and pain threshold score (p 0.05).

Conclusion: Neural mobilization may increase grip strength in healthy individuals but has no effect on pain threshold. Its effect on reaction time can be explained by motor learning. New studies are needed in different disease groups.

Anarchitext. Andreas Neumeisters Poetik und sein erzähltes Bauen in „Könnte Köln sein“
Authors: Meywirth Anna-Carina
Published: May 2023

Obwohl der Autor und Künstler Andreas Neumeister (*1959) mit zu den bekanntesten deutschen Popliterat*innen zählt, setzt sich dieser Band erstmals umfassend wissenschaftlich mit seinen collagenartigen Texten auseinander. Unter dem ‚Deckmantel‘ des Romans verschmelzen in Neumeisters Publikationen zahlreiche mediale Versatzstücke zu einem dichten Abbild gesellschaftlicher Gegenwart und stellen die politische Dimension alltäglicher und/oder urbaner Kulissen aus. Seine Texte arbeiten dabei mit popästhetischen Methoden wie Montagen, Wiederholungen oder Listen, die Anna-Carina Meywirth zunächst einordnet und anschließend als Analyseschema für Neumeisters Textprodukte fruchtbar macht. Auch die Überforderung der Leser*innen durch die dichte, ‚anarchische‘ Romanform Neumeisters nimmt sie in den Blick und entwickelt ein Rezeptionskonzept, das der unkonventionellen Textform begegnet. Anhand von Neumeisters Text Könnte Köln sein (2008) untersucht die Autorin exemplarisch, wie er seine popästhetische Poetik einsetzt, um Städte und Architekturen darzustellen. Die profunde, aber fragmentarisch inszenierte Auseinandersetzung des Erzählers mit den Bauwerken, die er während seiner Reisen in Städten wie München, Berlin, Moskau, New York und Los Angeles besucht, verschränkt literarische wie architektonische Expertise eng miteinander. Anarchitext zeigt, wie bei Neumeister auf literarischer Ebene Raum geschaffen wird, ohne diesen zu bauen – und folgt dabei dem Begriff der „Anarchitektur“ von Gordon Matta-Clark, der eine Verbindung von Anarchie und Architektur bezeichnet. Einzelanalysen der Metropolen zeigen anschaulich, wie jede Stadt durch die Brille des reisenden Erzählers und durch seinen Blick hinter die Fassaden der gegenwärtigen Architekturen ein eigenes Gesicht erhält, welches sich von einer touristischen Perzeption unterscheidet. In den Vordergrund der so erzählten Stadtwahrnehmung treten (vergangene) Machtstrukturen, die im (touristischen) urbanen Alltag allzu unsichtbar bleiben.

Southern Perspectives on Border Criminology
Authors: Mehta Rimple , Aliverti Ana
Published: May 2023

In this special issue, we explore the limits of existing theories for understanding migration governance from a Southern perspective and what the potential for rethinking border controls and their study, such as alternative epistemological and methodological approaches, might engender. We invited contributions to imagine what a ‘Southern perspective’ on the field of border criminologies would look like. In other words, what does it entail to study and theorise border control from the South? We organised a panel at the European Society of Criminology in September 2021 and then invited further authors. We sought to engage multiple disciplinary traditions and diverse case studies that speak to the various disciplinary perspectives and geopolitical dimensions of bordering. Many of the authors in this special issue are early career researchers who, through engaging with postcolonial theory and decolonial approaches, are fostering novel perspectives within border criminologies. Collectively, the articles bring together the different geopolitical, sociocultural and economic ways in which borders in the Global South are imagined, constructed, negotiated and reconstructed. The articles offer a wide range of epistemological and methodological insights for border criminologies to engage with, shifting our understanding from Northern perspectives.
Arbitrary Detention of Mexican Citizens by Mexican Immigration Authorities
Authors: Campos-Delgado Amalia , Yrizar Barbosa Guillermo
Published: May 2023

On 3 September 2015, Mexican immigration authorities detained four Indigenous Tzeltal Mexicans who were travelling by bus to the northern state of Sonora. Despite identifying themselves as Mexican citizens, the authorities considered their documents false, and they were detained for nine days until their identities were certified. The Mexican State took four years to acknowledge publicly and apologise for this arbitrary detention. Similarly, in 2017, a 39‑year‑old man born in Oaxaca, living in the streets of Puebla after being deported by the United States Government, was detained for being ‘identified’ as a Salvadorian citizen by Mexican authorities. However, it would be a mistake to consider these cases an exception or anomaly in the Mexican Transit Control Regime. Drawing on statistical and archival information from 2010 to 2020, as well as semi-structured interviews conducted in 2021, in this article, we examine the arbitrary detention of Mexican citizens by Mexican immigration authorities. We highlight the multiple rights violated, question how these detentions have been framed in the official discourse and examine the outcome of these detentions. Our analysis sheds light on the racialisation of migration control in Mexico.
Homelessness Prevention Interventions for Single Adults at Risk of or Experiencing MEH: A Systematic Review on their Effectiveness
Authors: Woellenstein Lucie Ellen , Cuthill Fiona , Manrai Raahat , Henderson David
Published: May 2023

Homelessness prevention for single adults at risk of or experiencing multiple exclusion homelessness (MEH) has received limited attention in research. This systematic review focused on the effectiveness of primary, secondary, and tertiary homelessness prevention interventions and strategies for this population. We searched four databases (Embasse, PsycInfo, Medline, and Allied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts [ASSIA]) for peer-reviewed empirically completed quantitative and qualitative studies and systematic reviews between 1992 and 2021. We identified ten categories of interventions based on the kind of support they provide: accommodation, financial assistance, case management, outreach, mental health care, joint mental health and substance use care, substance use care, other social support, policies and legal assistance. We found that research has principally focused on tertiary prevention, the prevention of chronic homelessness, and there is a lack of research on the effectiveness of upstream primary prevention strategies that would intervene before someone is at imminent risk of homelessness. However, within the secondary and tertiary prevention space, the best approach was a multifaceted cross-sector collaboration of different services. Many studies concluded that those at risk of or experiencing MEH require high intensity services combining a range of housing and support service options. Housing First, Assertive Community Treatment, Critical Time Intervention were high intensity services that were consistently found to be effective in preventing homelessness. Intensive case management had mixed evidence on effectiveness. Financial assistance was identified as important for preventing first-time, recurrent, and chronic homelessness in many studies and may be essential, but unlikely to be enough on its own. Finally, the prevention of homelessness after discharge from institutional care was found to be critical with several interventions showing to be effective here.

O DESENHO GEOGRÁFICO COMO META PARA A CONSTRUÇÃO DA PAISAGEM-LUGAR NO ENSINO DE GEOGRAFIA NOS ANOS INICIAIS
Authors: Rodrigues Oliveira Queiroz Fabiana , Olívia Alves Adriana
Published: May 2023

A Geografia, como ciência que se ocupa da análise do espaço geográfico, por meio de seus mediadores conceituais, é, também, componente curricular presente na Educação Básica. Seus conhecimentos podem favorecer a leitura crítica e reflexiva da realidade e propiciar modos específicos de pensar e raciocinar a espacialidade geográfica. Nesse processo, as crianças, como atores sociais portadores de histórias e geografias, se aproximam da forma escolar dessa ciência, oficialmente, no Ensino Fundamental I, segmento no qual atua o profissional docente pedagogo. Assim, uma evidente relação entre Geografia, Infância e Educação escolar provoca a necessidade de ampliação de olhares acerca do ensino de Geografia com crianças. Nesta perspectiva, apresentamos uma reflexão que envolve os conceitos de desenho geográfico e paisagem-lugar como possibilidade para potencializar os processos de ensino-aprendizagem com crianças no contexto das práticas pedagógicas em Geografia. Tais reflexões despontam como recorte de uma pesquisa doutoral que revelou a presença de conhecimento sensível e de dimensão artística nos desenhos geográficos, envoltos em processos de imaginação, criação e criatividade. Pesquisa essa que, também, evidenciou a paisagem-lugar como dimensão conceitual e metodológica, que conjuga aspectos sociais e físico-naturais do espaço, mas que ainda é pouco explorada.

Electrosurgery in Periodontics: An Advent of Invention - A Literature Review
Authors: CS Raaja Sreepathy , Rathinasamy Kadhiresan , Ulaganathan Arunmozhi
Published: May 2023

Electrosurgery, also called radiosurgery, has been in the field of dentistry for more than 75 years. More than a century's worth of literature exists on electrosurgery citing its applications in various surgical procedures. In the past three decades, the role of electrocautery has also been well established with a significant rise in minimally invasive and microsurgical techniques. Electrosurgery, basically employs two electrodes that delivers the electrical current, the electrosurgical units, and the connecting wires. It works on the principle where the electromagnetic energy is converted into kinetic energy and then into thermal energy that produces the effect of energy with the continuing advent of specifically engineered electrodes, electrosurgery relies on the method of controlled and exact delivery of radiofrequency electrical current to the soft tissue region that creates a desired clinical effect. This desired clinical effect depends on several factors like the frequency of the electrical current, size, shape of the defect, and the distance between the electrode and the soft tissue site. Almost every area of dentistry employs electrosurgery. Research is ongoing into several novel uses for electrosurgery, which is an area that is always changing.

Cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) evaluation is a useful screening method used to detect cardiomegaly. It varies in different populations due to genetic, geographical and environmental factors that influence body morphology. This study aimed at assessing the CTR and determining its association with gender and age among adult Nigerians.
This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in the Radiology Department of a Teaching Hospital in Delta State after obtaining ethical clearance. Postero-anterior chest radiographs of 200 adults (108 males and 92 females) were used to measure the transverse cardiac diameter (TCD) and transverse thoracic diameter (TTD) in centimeters (cm). These were used to compute the CTR (TCD/TTD*100). Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.0 was used to analyze the data. Independent t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to determine the differences in the measurements with regards to gender and age-groups respectively. The correlation that exists between the variables and their association with age were assessed using Pearson’s correlation. P value was set at < 0.05.
The TTD and TCD were significantly larger in males than in females (p=0.001 each) while the CTR was significantly larger in females than in males (p=0.016). The TTD and CTR showed significant differences in the various age groups (p=0.002, 0.031) (p=0.195). The two diameters showed a significant positive correlation with age (0<r<0.5).
The study provides the normal mean CTR values for the studied population based on age and gender which will help clinicians in the screening for heart conditions. This will enhance early diagnosis and intervention.

Authors: Henni Cut Mara , Syahrizal Dedy , Suryadi Taufik
Published: May 2023

Photoageing leads to dry skin, wrinkles, darkening of skin pigmentation and a reduction in skin firmness. The effects of photoaging may be overcome by compounds which have antioxidant activity. Coffee is a potential candidate for synthetic chemicals in cosmetic preparations. It contains active compounds, including polyphenols, caffeine, chlorogenic acid, flavonoids, and alkaloids which are effective for use on the skin as antioxidants, anti-aging, sunscreens, moisturizers, anti-cellulite, and brighteners. That makes coffee a potential antioxidant in the treatment of photoageing. The purpose of this literature review is to determine whether coffee extract is an anti-oxidant in the treatment of photoaging. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using several databases, namely Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, and Crossref, using the keywords “coffee AND antioxidant AND photoaging.” This literature review concluded that coffee extract could be used as an antioxidant in treating photoaging.

A pesquisa foi desenvolvida na E.E.E.E Regular Senador José Gaudêncio, localizada no município de Serra Branca PB, teve por objetivo realizar um diagnóstico do ensino de Geografia no âmbito da Educação de Jovens de Adultos. Para iniciarmos esse processo começamos com uma breve discursão bibliográfica sobre a trajetória da educação de jovens e adultos no Brasil, resgatando e refletindo o processo de transformação da mesma, em seguida problematizei o ensino de Geografia na EJA nos dias atuais, onde foi possível discutir algumas considerações de autores a cerca da problemática do ensino. Em seguida foi promovida uma análise em relação ao ensino e as metodologias aplicadas nas aulas de geografia da EJA. Para obtermos os resultados no presente trabalho baseamos em estudos empíricos realizados com os alunos do ensino médio da educação de jovens e adultos da E.E.E.E Senador José Gaudêncio de Serra Branca PB. No decorrer do trabalho foram aplicados questionários para alunos e professores dessa instituição escolar, onde procuramos debater sobre metodologias de ensino aprendizagem de geografia na EJA aplicada na referida escola.
Estudo da aplicação metodológica da educação física no ensino fundamental I em escolas do campo do município de Sumé-PB.
Authors:   , Erinaldo Silva José
Published: May 2023

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a metodologia do ensino da disciplina de Educação Física no Ensino Fundamental I em duas escolas do campo, do Sítio Conceição e do Distrito de Pio X do Município de Sumé, no estado da Paraíba, Brasil. Esta é uma pesquisa descritiva, qualitativa de campo, realizada por meio da observação não-sistemática. Os docentes apresentaram uma disparidade com relação aos conteúdos aplicados aos discentes do Ensino Fundamental I. As observações foram realizadas em dois momentos, dos quais se observou a prática da Educação Física, com isso, surgiram altos e baixos com relação à oferta da disciplina pelos docentes aos discentes. Constatou-se que um dos docentes não desenvolveu um processo organizado, dentro de uma lógica, onde não demonstrou um método correspondente a disciplina ofertada, ou seja, apresentou uma metodologia de ensino superada deixando lacunas com relação à prática, proporcionando e aplicando minimamente os conteúdos da Educação Física. Em relação ao segundo docente, se observou que o mesmo utilizou um método dentro de um processo organizado, como a disciplina de Educação Física exige, ou seja, com procedimentos e técnicas contemporâneas, pensando na Educação Física como realmente deve ser planejada e aplicada: Aplicando uma metodologia convincente e preventiva; procurando envolver todos os elementos necessários para que o aluno cresça aprendendo a maneira correta, pensando no desenvolvimento físico e mental. De acordo com o estudo, viu-se o quanto à disciplina é carente de profissionais capacitados para atuarem na área, haja em vista a necessidade de que se promovam aprimoramentos e capacitações para estes docentes que não conseguem obter êxito ao ensinar a disciplina. A Educação Física é uma disciplina prazerosa onde os alunos se sentem realizados ao praticá-la, e se observou durante o estudo que, dentre tantas disciplinas ela é sem sombra de dúvidas uma das mais requisitadas por uma parcela considerável dos estudantes. Esse trabalho proporcionou novos conhecimentos e aprendizagens, ao mesmo tempo que as observações e análises responderam várias indagações acerca da prática aplicada por parte desses professores, não apenas do campo, como da cidade, e que sirva de exemplo para todo um corpo docente que integra a rede municipal de ensino, pois, uma vez aplicada de forma errônea, certamente os discentes carregarão os efeitos dessa prática no decorrer da sua vida escolar. Portanto, o trabalho serviu como um desafio que abordou uma diversidade de perguntas e respostas em torno da prática docente nas escolas municipais, ficando nítida a discrepância, a falta de profissionalismo e conhecimento de alguns professores em relação à disciplina de Educação Física.
